Period FiveCommunication Workshop，Culture Corner &Bulletin Board.阅读理解ASome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.Im not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances dont come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and thats just the reality of how life is.However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you dont enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If youre not willing to put in the time and work，dont expect to receive any rewards.Consistent，hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.1Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.Athe reasons for successBthe meaning of successCthe standards of successDthe importance of success答案A解析段落大意题。文中的“运气”“天赋”“家庭环境”等都是指成功的条件或理由，故选A项。本段中并没有讲什么是成功，排除选项B(成功的含义)和C(成功的标准)；也没讲成功对人生有哪些重要性，也容易排除选项D。2In Paragraph 2，the underlined word “that” refers to _.Abeing good at somethingBsetting a practical goalCputting in more timeDsucceeding in life答案B解析代词指代题。代词是意义衔接的手段之一，此处的代词that替代前句中的set a goal and then gradually make it more practical，故选B项。3Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _.Awork makes one feel painBone tends to enjoy his workCone gives up his work easilyDit takes a lot of time to succeed答案D解析细节理解题。题眼出现在第三段第一句“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.”但其中的this就是指代上文的内容，即第二段的最后两句话的内容“.one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.”这两句就告诉我们，要成功需要花费大量的时间。4What is the main theme of the passage?AHaving a goal is vital to success.BBeing good is different from being great.COne cannot succeed without time and practice.DLuck，talent and family help to achieve success.答案C解析主旨大意题。由第二段开头的However可知，本文的中心论题不是第一段而在第二段“.to succeed in life，one first needs to.needs to.”，再结合最后一段第一句“.if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.”可知本文的主题思想是不花时间和实践是不可能取得成功的。BThe British development group Practical Action says the best way to prepare fruits and vegetables for storage is at harvest time while still in the field.Use a sharp knife and place the harvested fruits and vegetables on a clean surface or directly into storage containers.Do not put them on the ground.Use clean water to remove dirt.Usually it is better not to remove outer leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage.Without the leaves，they can become dry.Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are put into storage.But cooling them in water can spread fungus(霉菌) throughout them.A better idea is to harvest them either early or late in the day，and then leave them to cool naturally.Some fruits and vegetables must be stored at 0to 4.Any colder，they might be damaged.Some need to be stored at 4to 8，and some need to be stored above 8 for best results.Wet the fruits and vegetables so they do not become too dry.The best time to do this is before storage.Cover them in plastic once they reach the right temperature for storage.Most fruits and vegetables need the relative humidity(湿度) in storage to be kept between eightyfive and ninetyfive percent.Finally，leave space between the storage containers and the walls of the cold storage area so air can flow.Keep the space clean.And try not to open the doors too often.5What is the best time to harvest fruits?ALate in the morning.BAt noon.CEarly in the afternoon.DAt dusk.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“A better idea is to harvest them either early or late in the day，and then leave them to cool naturally.”可知，清晨和黄昏是收获水果和蔬菜的最佳时间，应选D。6According to the passage，how should we deal with the fruits upon harvest?ARemove the outer leaves before storage.BPut them on the ground.CPut them directly into storage containers.DMake them cool in water.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Use a sharp knife and place the harvested fruits and vegetables on a clean surface or directly into storage containers.”可知，采摘后的水果和蔬菜可直接放入贮藏箱。7In order to keep fruits and vegetables from being dry，we can_.Acover them in plastic on harvestingBleave no place in betweenCopen the door to check just in caseDkeep the relative humidity答案D解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“Most fruits and vegetables need the relative humidity(湿度) in storage.”可知，为了防止水果和蔬菜变干，应使它们在储存时保持相对的湿度。8Who is the passage mainly intended for?AGreengrocers. BFarmers.CCustomers. DVegetarians.答案B解析读者对象题。本文主要介绍了刚从地里收获的水果和蔬菜的储存方法，因此可推断本文主要是写给农民的。.完形填空Kindness at Fastfood RestaurantIt was summer and I had gotten one of the few jobs a 14yearold can find，working at Burger King，a fastfood restaurant.It _1_ wasnt a good job，but it meant money，_2_ was something I needed.One day，I was working behind the front counter，taking _3_.The customers were coming and going，and the woman who _4_ didnt seem any different from most others.She ordered her meal and I told her the total.As she searched _5_ her purse to find some change，the woman soon _6_ that she was about a dollar short.“Im _7_ to say this，but I guess I wont be able to make my purchase _8_，” she said sadly.Thats when I had the idea of paying the difference for her.She refused at first，but after I _9_，she agreed.She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to _10_ her order.I continued with my work and thought _11_ more of it.About an hour later _12_ had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer.Then I glanced over towards the _13_ and saw the same woman whom Id helped with the money entering again.I _14_ recognized her.She walked straight up to me and said，“I want to thank you again for what you did.You see，Im a diabetic(糖尿病患者)，and _15_ I need to eat something right away.Thats _16_ I came in earlier.If you hadnt helped me as you did，I _17_ have fainted.Thank you.”She handed me two dollars，_18_ Id given her._19_ the woman walk away，I realized that God had used me to help me.In the end，I was _20_ not only with money but also with the satisfaction of knowing that Id helped someone out of a tight spot.1A.firstly BroughlyCcertainly Dstrictly答案C解析由下句but可知，应该不是一项好工作。2A.which BwhatCthat Dit答案A解析which引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语。3A.menus BordersCservice Dfood答案B解析作者是在一定餐馆做服务员，故用take orders点菜。4A.reached BmovedCpresented Dapproached答案D解析approach走进，靠前。走进来的那个妇女看起来与大多数别的人没有什么不同。5A.through BforCabout Dacross答案A解析through表示“从头到尾，遍及”，search through her purse表示“翻遍了钱包”。6A.recognized BrealizedCadmitted Dsaid答案D解析那位女士说自己少一美元(付账)。7A.guilty BdisappointedCembarrassed Dregretful答案C解析此处指女人因为钱不够，觉得很尴尬。embarrassed感到尴尬的。8A.above all Bfirst of allCin all Dafter all答案C解析此处表示她不能全要她的饭了，因为钱不够。in all总共。9A.insisted on BinsistedCstuck to Dstuck答案B解析在我的坚持之下，她同意了。insist坚持，符合语境；insist on和stick to后需加宾语，故被排除。10A.pick up Bpick outCcarry out Dbring out答案A解析pick up捡起，拿起；pick out认出；carry out实施；bring out生产，出版。此处指女人拿起自己的饭，故选A项。11A.none BanythingCnothing Dsomething答案C解析我继续自己的工作，不再想这件事。think nothing of sth.不再想某事。12A.customers BordersCpressure Dbusiness答案D解析因为作者在餐馆做服务员，故此处应是“生意”不那么忙了。13A.entrance BrestaurantCcounter Dwindow答案A解析由下文“那位女士再次走进餐馆”可知应选A项。14A.suddenl
