As a man aged 30, I believe its true. It is, in fact, my law of life. In my eyes, what matters is not necessarily where you are in the end, but what you achieve while you are trying along the way. It means that no matter what, as long as you try, you can never fail. It means you can learn from your mistakes and continue on the next journey a little wiser.I think St Louis Rams, a professional American football team in Missouri, as a whole shared my law of life. They played every game with their full potential (潜能) instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads. They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl, a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday, in February. Even though they lost some games, they didnt give up.It doesnt matter if you dont have the ability to be on top in the end or to win the game; what matters is that you work hard the whole time. You should understand that success is a non-ending journey. Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose, but whats important is that both sides need to try their best. After all, its not who wins or loses, but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.（1）What does the underlined part go to their heads in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A . 去领导办公室B . 获得一等奖C . 撞到头部D . 冲昏头脑（2）According to the writer, St Louis Rams _. A . had a goal hard to achieveB . took every game seriouslyC . played in the Super Bowl many timesD . used to be the best football team in Missouri（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph? A . We should try to win every game.B . We should try our best whatever we do.C . We should understand the meaning of life.D . We should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.（4）Whats the best title for the passage? A . Take pride in your workB . Failure is good for youC . Everyone has a chanceD . Success is not final4. （8分）阅读理解CMany years ago, a French naturalist, Comte de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics（批评家）did not like them.Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders（奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if（好像）they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician（政治家）. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new wordbelittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic（大西洋）.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittleto make small, unimportant.”Americans had already accepted Jeffersons word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle（独立纪事报）used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldnt become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.（1）Thomas Jefferson was NOT a _. A . naturalistB . historianC . politicianD . musician（2）We can infer（推断）that Jefferson created the word “belittle” out of his _. A . angerB . excitementC . kindnessD . responsibility（3）What can we know about the word “belittle” from the passage? A . It has already disappeared from the English language.B . It had been used before it was put in the English language dictionary.C . It is used to describe natural wonders now.D . An American politician decided to kill this word in 1872.（4）Whats the passage mainly about? A . How the word “belittle” came into being.B . The argument about natural wonders.C . Every word has a long history behind.D . Noah Webster supported Jeffersons idea.5. （10分）根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。These days, when the world seems to be hard to control, walking can make you feel peaceful. It gives you a chance to slow down, to relax and to appreciate yourself and your life in general. It helps you slow down enough to breathe deeply, to calm your thoughts, and to research the natural world filled with wonders. And yes, to love yourself more.Try to spend one day for a long travel on footfar from the requirements of work and family. First, choose a date and mark it as your “relaxing day”. Next, choose a place that you want to visit on foot. If you enjoy being out in nature, head to a wide and open place. Try to choose a place thats no more than 15 minutes from your home. You want to spend your time walking, not driving.Walk at an easy speed so you can walk longer and farther. If you normally walk two miles a day, go for four to six miles. Wear comfortable clothes. If its warm, wear a hat to protect your face. And dont forget your sunglasses not only to protect your eyes but also to give you a sense of privacy while you walk.Before you go out, get up early so you can spend a few minutes relaxing. Relaxing is something few people spend in their spare time, but it leaves you feeling much lighter and less annoyed. Read something relaxing before you leave home, and itll put you in a different condition of mind. And, of course, eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water. Then pick up your backpack and head out. And enjoy yourself.（1）From the passage, we can control our feeling by_.A . running a long wayB . having a long walkC . talking with best friendsD . communicating with parents（2）Walking can help you EXCEPT _.A . making you calmB . feeling more excitedC . thinking things calmlyD . breathing deeply（3）What can you do to prepare if you plan to hike according to the passage?A .
