1(2015天津,D)Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk,I went to a friend.He looked at me for a moment,and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had:Be bold and braveand mighty(强大的)forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past,it was seldom because I had tried and failed.It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.On the other hand,whenever I had plunged into deep water,forced by courage or circumstance,I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat.And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces.They are potential powers we possess:energy,skill,sound judgment,creative ideaseven physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly,those mighty forces are spiritual ones.But they are more important than physical ones.A college classmate of mine,Tim,was an excellent football player,even though he weighed much less than the average player.“In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player,who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,”said Tim.“I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)and stopped him cold.”Boldnessa willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight.But it can be taught to children and developed in adults.Confidence builds up.Surely,there will be setbacks(挫折)and disappointments in life;boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So,always try to live a little bit beyond your abilitiesand youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.1.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A.He faced huge risks.B.He lacked mighty forces.C.Fear prevented him from trying.D.Failure blocked his way to success.2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A.Swallow more than you can digest.B.Act slightly above your abilities.C.Develop more mysterious powers.D.Learn to make creative decisions.3.What was especially important for Tims successful defense in the football game?A.His physical strength.B.His basic skill.C.His real fear.D.His spiritual force.4.What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A.Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B.Trying without success is meaningless.C.Repeated failure creates a better life.D.Boldness can be gained little by little.5.What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A.To encourage people to be courageous.B.To advise people to build up physical power.C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D.To recommend people to develop more abilities.答案语篇解读本文为夹叙夹议文,题材为人生哲理。作者通过朋友的建议告诉读者,要勇敢地去尝试自己没有把握的事情,即便是失败也比从未尝试过要好很多。1.C2.B3.D4.D5.APassage 1(2015浙江,B)Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information,especially numbers,percentages,and other data.A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret.That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data.Graphs can seem frightening,but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story.The graph has a title,a main idea,and supporting details.You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.Most graphs have a few basic parts:a caption or introduction paragraph,a title,a legend or key,and labeled axes.An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data.Captions will usually tell you where the data came from(for example,a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005).Captions usually summarize the authors main point as well.The title is very important.It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown.A legend,also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.Many graphs,including bar graphs and line graphs,have two axes that form a corner.Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph.Each axis will always have a label.The label tells you what each axis measures.Bar GraphsA bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts.In Graph 1,we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned,and the y-axis shows how many students earned each grade.You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement.There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1).Line GraphsA line graph looks similar to a bar graph,but instead of bars,it plots points and connects them with a line.It has the same parts as a bar graphtwo labeled axesand can be read the same way.To read a line graph,its important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points.This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time.Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration(See Graph 2).The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days.The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers.Thus we can see that,on the first day,the pipit flew 20 kilometers.The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled down,as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before.This line graph is a quick,visual way to tell the reader about the birds migration.Pie GraphsA typical pie graph looks like a circular pie.The circle is divided into sections,and each section represents a fraction of the data.The graph is commonly used to show percentages;the whole pie represents 100 percent,so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice.This pie graph shows one months expenses(See Graph 3).Food $25Movies $12Clothing $36Savings $20Books $71.When used in a graph,a legend is.A.a guide to the symbols and colorsB.an introduction

Netherlands.Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile(纺织)and media industries,and modern architecture.In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(别墅)in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF)established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces(杰作)are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 19281931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a
