If we are wise, we accept these failures as anecessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval.Donnie was my youngest third-grader. Hisfear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. Heseldom answered questions he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadnt made a mistake.I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changeduntilmidterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, including Donnie, loved her too. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary. But when I returned, Donnie was in tears. Hed missed the third problem.Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister（小筒）filled with pencils.“Look, Donnie,” she said. “Ive got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? Thats because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. Thats what you must learn to do, too.”She kissed him and continued: “Ill leave one of these pencils onyour desk so youll remember that everybody makes mistakes,even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer（少许）of a smile.ThePencil became Donnies prized possession. That, together with Annes frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnies small successes, graduallypersuaded him that its all right to make mistakes as long as you erase them and try again.21. Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?A. Because he seldom answered those difficult questionsB. Because he spent too much time checking his answersC. Because he couldnt work together with his classmatesD. Because he never did his work until the very last minute22. The word “baffled” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .A. encouraged B. impressed C. satisfied D. confused23. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?A. Patient and inspiring B. Creative and modest C. Determined and strict D. Considerate and proud24. The story was written mainly to .A. tell us who influenced Donnie greatly B. sing the praises of Mary AnneC. give a life lesson about failure D. show us how to use erasers B A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes. The new app is called MyShake, which is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Smart phones are equipped with accelerometers(加速器). MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several warnings from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then judges the location (where earthquakes have happened) and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less. MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface, like a table. The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U. S. Geological Survey. That U. S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also known as the EEW. The EEW has used sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists, MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection. The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it. The developers say they hope to add a feature that will warn people about a possible tsunami（海啸）after an earthquake.25.The new app A. is a kind of accelerometer. B. feels earthquakes through smartphones. C. is developed by the U. S. Geological Survey. D. predicts possible tsunami after an earthquake.26. What is the second paragraph mainly talking about? A. How Myshake works. B. What seismic activity is. C. Why Myshake is developed. D. When accelerometers record earthquakes.27. The new app developers hope to_. A. use the information by the U.S.Geological Survey to better Myshake B. unite the U.S. Geological Survey to combine the EEW and Myshake C. help the EEW detect earthquakes somewhere D. improve the EEWC When students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and important. What they wont show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success. Robbin, 16, and Annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York. Whats more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear. “I like the idea of scientific research,” says Robbin. Its the basis for “every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” This summer, Robbin has been working with Lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. At first, the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren reassured her that finding out what doesnt work is “just part of the learning process”. With time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldnt succeed. Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil. “Sometimes I try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run.” This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” But shes now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success. In science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success. 28. What impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery? A. Scientists achievements B. The reasons for success C. The cause of mistakes D. Stressful process of research29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Robbin is a graduate student. B. Lauren managed to make new drugs.C. Annabelle learns the value of patience. D. Agnieszka expected an instant success.30. What did Robbin and Annabelle have in common in their experiments? A. They did their experiments independently. B. They realized all experiments would not succeed. C. They assisted graduate students to make new drugs. D. They made severe mistakes in the experiments.31. What does the writer intend to tell us? A. The cause of making errors in science. B. The significance of scientific discovery. C. The importance of doing experiments. D. The correct attitudes towards failures. D Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prizeMunro didnt publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns.Even though shes won Canadas most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munros career. “It brings this incredible recognition，both of her and her career，and of the dedication to the short story.” said one person.Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.”Munro knew she was in the runningshe was named the second-most likely person to win this years prize, after Haruki Murakami（村上春树）of Japanbut she never thought that she would win. Munros win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe.” Munro said on Thursday.She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she isIn 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer.“This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature，are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.”She wasnt sure whether she would keep writing if she won the prize，saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”32. What is the feature of Munros stories？A. They have specific themes for childrenB. They have similar story backgroundsC. They have their own complicated contentsD. They have the same characters in each book33. For Munro, the Nobel Prize for Literature is an award for_A. her love for Canadian culture B. her devotion to the short storyC. her special form of writing D. her career of editing short stories34. What is implied in the sixth paragraph？A. Canadian writers have long been ignoredB. Canadian writers are just a small communityC. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prizeD. Canadians have a long way to win the prize35. What does the passage mainly tell us？A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for LiteratureB. An introduction to the Nobel Prize for LiteratureC. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize for LiteratureD. A world-famous writer, Alice Munro第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mastering the art of meeting deadlines is possible.
