In another way , failure may be a way towards success . The “ spider story” often told , Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13th century , was hiding in a cave from the English . He watched a spider spinning a web . The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock . He tried six times without success . On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web . Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English Edison , the inventor of the light bulb , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one .So what ? First , always think about your failure . What caused it ?Were conditions right ? Were you in top form yourself ? What can you change so things will go right next time ?Second , is the goal(目标)youre trying to reach the right one ? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be . Think about this question .“ If I do succeed in this , where will it get me ?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway .The third thing is to bear in mind that failure is a part of life . Learn to “ live with yourself” even though you may have failed . Remember , “You cant win them all .”56This passage deals with two sides of failure . In paragraph 1 , the author talks mainly about .Athe value of failure Bhow people would fail Cfamous failuresDthe cause of failure 57The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems .Aproductive Bstraight forward Csad Ddeep 58The author tells you to do all things except .Ato think about the cause of your failure Bto check out whether your goals are right for you Cto consider failure as a part of life Dto bear in mind that you will never fail in your life 59Which of the following is NOT true ?ABruce and Edison were successful examples .BFailure may be regarded as a way towards success .CEdison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce .DOne may often raise a question whether his goals are worth trying .BWhen someone says , “Well , I guess Ill have to go to face the music,” It doesnt mean he is planning to go to a concert . It is something far less pleasant , like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that , and why you did not do this or that . Sour （刺耳）music , indeed , but it has to be faced .The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American , young and old . It is at least 100 years old . Where did the expression come from ?The first information comes from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper . He saidin 1851that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings （侧）to go on stage . After they got their clue（暗示）to go on , they often said , “Its time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did face the orchestra（管弦乐队）which was just below the stage .An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly , especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out .So, “to face the music” came to mean : having to go through something , no matter how unpleasant the experience might be , because you knew you had no choice .The other explanation comes from the army . Men had to face inspection（检阅）by their leader . The soldiers worried about how well they looked . Was their equipment cleanshiny enough to pass inspection ? Still , the men had to go out , and face the music of the band , as well as the inspection . What else could they do ?60The phrase “to face the music” was first used by .Aall the Americans Bthe American writer James Fenimore Cooper CAmerican actors Dthe American orchestra 61An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage .One of the reasons is that .Ahis performance might not satisfy most of the audience Bhe might not remember what he should say on stage Che had to face the unfriendly audience Dthe audience might be mostly his friends 62 “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing .Ato be examined about their equipment Bto be found weak Cto show themselves by their leader Dto be inspected by their leader 63This passage is mainly about .Athe meaning of the phrase “to face the music” Bhow to deal with something unpleasant Cthe origin（起源）of the phrase Dhow to go through difficulty CAt Harton Collegean English boarding school for boys there are many rules . 15-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them .The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class . But they must return to the school at six oclock . One afternoon Bob walked to the town . He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema . After the film , he looked at his watch . It was after eight oclock . He was a little worried . He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible .When he arrived , he ran quickly to the main entrance . It was locked . He went round the school building to another door , which was locked too . He looked up at the window of his dormitory on the third floor . The window was open . But it was quite dark , and he could not climb up the wall easily . Then he saw another open window on the ground floor . It was the window of the headmasters study .He looked into the room no one was there . Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill（窗台）and jumped into the room . Just then he heard a noise . Then someone turned on a light in the corridor（走廊）. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa . One minute later , Mr. Mannering , the headmaster , came in . He turned on the light on his desk , and sat down on the sofa . Then he opened a book and began to read .Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible . He couldnt move . The floor was cold and uncomfortable . He looked at the headmasters shoes and socks for an hour .“Why doesnt he get up and go to bed ?” Bob thought .Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour . Finally , the headmaster closed his book and stood up .He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door .“Thanks heavens , he didnt find me under the sofa ,” thought Bob .Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa . “ Would you turn off the light when you leave ?” He said , and left the study .64Bob didnt go to his dormitory because .Aits door was locked Bthe window was shut Cit was quite dark Dthe wall was too high for him to climb up 65Who had turned on a light in the corridor ?ABob himself BAnother pupil CAn office clerk DMr. Mannering 66When the headmaster came in , Bob .Awas sitting on the sofa Bwas lying under the sofa Chid himself behind the bookshelf Dhid himself under the sofa 67It can be inferred that Mr . Mannering .Aknew that Bob was still at the cinema Bknew that Bob was in the dormitory Cknew exactly where Bob was Ddidnt know clearly where Bob was DThe report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck , the most powerful warship in the world , was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean . Her task : to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England .The British had feared such a task . No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower . The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns . She could move at 30 nautical miles （海里）an hour . She was believed to be unsinkable .However , the British had to sink her . They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck . On May 24 , the Hood found the Bismarck .It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see . His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies , but to stay away from a fight with British warships .The battle didnt last long . The Bismarcks first torpedo （鱼雷）hit the Hood , which went down taking all but three of her 1419 men with her .But in the fight , the Bismarck was slightly damaged . Her commander decided to run for repairs to France , which had at that time been taken by the Germans . The British force followed her . However , because of the Bismarcks speed and the heavy fog , they lost sight of her .For two days , every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck , but with no success . Finally , she was sighted by a plane from Ireland , Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her , the British fired at her from the air . The Bismarck was hit .On the morning of May 27 , the last battle was fought . Four British ships fired on the Bismarck , and she was finally sunk .68The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean .Ato sink the Hood Bto gain control of France Cto cut off American supplies to Britain Dto stop British warships reaching Germany 69Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she .Awas fast and powerful Bhad more men on board Cwas under Luetjens command Dhad bigger guns than other ships 70We learn from the text that on 24 May .Athe British won the battle against the Bismarck Bthe Bismarck won the battle against the British Cthe British gunfire damaged the Bismarck seriously Dthe Bismarck succeeded in keeping away from the British 71Luetjens tried to sail to France in order to .Ahave the ship repaired Bjoin the other Germans Cget help from the French Dget away from the British EFor years , many people would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways . Study shows , however , that tobacco isnt one single thing . At least 60% of it is gas20 different kinds of gas . And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide (CO) （一氧化碳）.In factories , the amount of this gas in the air is measured , and it must be kept under fixed , safe level . But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke .Oxygen is carried through your body by the red blood cells . But this poison gas , CO, will get to the blood cells before the oxygen can . So , if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than is normal . To make up for this , your body must make more red cells .The oxygen in your blood passes into your tissues（组织）. But here again CO makes trouble . It keeps the oxyge
