start可知，虽然凯西最终加入了游泳队，但(however)训练却异常艰辛。前后文在语意上是转折关系，故填however。therefore因此；otherwise否则，不然；instead反而，代替。答案：A6解析：上文语境题。由空格前的she coughed and choked可以看出，凯西一开始进行游泳训练遭遇了咳嗽、呛水等一系列困难，前几个星期几乎挺不下去(hardly survive

what you hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English.But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a “votech” student(技校学生)Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”，I was shocked.“Hey，hes a good kid，”I wanted to say.“And smart，really.”I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they dont often make school honor rolls (光荣榜)But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at$800.“Hey，I can fix it，”said Jody.I doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose.My son，with other motorheads，fixed the car.They got parts (零件) from a junkyard，and ability from votech classes.The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job，a broken airconditioner，a nonfunctioning washer and a nontoasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and coworkers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.I have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders.Most important，I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.1What used to be the authors hope for his son?ATo avoid becoming his clone.BTo resemble him in appearance.CTo develop in a different direction.DTo reach the authors unachieved goals.2What can we learn about the authors children?AHis daughter does better in school.BHis daughter has got a masters degree.CHis son tried hard to finish homework.DHis son couldnt write his book reports.3The author let his son repair the car because he believed that _.Ahis son had the ability to fix itBit would save him much timeCit wouldnt cause him any more lossDother motorheads would come to help4In the authors eyes，motorheads are _.Atidy and hardworkingBcheerful and smartClazy but brightDrelaxed but rude5What did the author realize in the end?AIt is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.BIt is important for one to make the honor roll.CArchitects play a more important role than builders.DMotorheads have greater ability than office workers.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。作者的儿子在学校里不是优秀学生，最后成了一名修车工，这并不是作者希望他走的路。但是作者通过让儿子给自己修车的经历意识到：在学校里是优秀学生并不是那么重要，让孩子追随父亲的足迹也是不明智的。1解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第三句You begin to realize that your boy，in your footsteps，could probably accomplish what you hoped for.可知，作者原先希望儿子实现自己未能实现的目标，故D项正确。根据文章第一段第一句Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone.可知，A项不正确；文章未提及作者希望儿子跟自己在外表上相像，排除B项；根据第一段最后一句But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.可知，作者不希望儿子跟自己的人生方向不一样，排除C项。答案：D2解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的My daughter is a university

it.可知，作者怀疑儿子修车的能力，排除A项；文章没有提到让儿子修车会节省时间以及别的技工会来帮他，故排除B、D两项。答案：C4解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句These kids are happiest when doing repairs.可知，这些孩子是快乐的； 由第二句They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.可知，这些孩子在他们自己的世界里是放松的；由第三句And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.可知，尽管他们的手和衣服很脏，但是他们的头脑是聪明的。由此可知，在作者看来，这些孩子hardworking，cheerful，smart(bright) 和relaxed, 故选B项。答案：B5解析：推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句话 Most important，I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.可知，作者最后意识到，让你的孩子追随你的足迹是不明智的，故选A项；根据最后一段My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.可知，作者现在认为在学校里是优秀学生不重要了，排除B项；由倒数第二段的.publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders.可知，并不是说谁比谁重要而是各行各业都需要专业人才，排除C、D两项。答案：ABFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has.There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways：as startup fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue.In the former case，we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it，the more tired we feel.Such startup fatigue is very real，even if not actually physical，not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply：always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago，I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors.Applying my own rule，I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序)，never letting myself leave out a tough idea.And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essaywriting.Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great that，however hard we work，we fail again and again.In such a situation，I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书)，I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles.Nothing like this had ever been done before，and day after day I kept coming up with solutions，but none of them worked.My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day，mentally exhausted，I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved.I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself，not with me.Relieved，I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later，I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed，the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step.Though I worked as hard as before，I felt no fatigue.Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings，I believe，must try to succeed.Success，then，means never feeling tired.6People with startup fatigue are most likely to _.Adelay tasksBwork hardCseek help Daccept failure7What does the author recommend doing to prevent startup fatigue?AWriting essays in strict order.BBuilding up physical strength.CLeaving out the toughest ideas.DDealing with the hardest task first.8On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?ABefore starting a difficult task.BWhen all the solutions fail.CIf the job is rather boring.DAfter finding a way out.9According to the author，the unconscious mind may help us _.Aignore mental problemsBget some nice sleepCgain complete reliefDfind the right solution10What could be the best title for the passage?ASuccess Is Built upon FailureBHow to Handle Performance FatigueCGetting over Fatigue：A Way to SuccessDFatigue：An Early Sign of Health Problems【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章先提出我们的疲惫有两种不同的表现方式，即：startup fatigue和performance fatigue；然后具体指出这两种疲惫的表现以及解决办法，最后点明主题：成功就意味着从不感到疲惫。6解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的信息In the former case，we keep putting off a task.可知，startup fatigue最可能会推迟需要做的事情，即A项的delay tasks(推迟任务)，文中putting off a task和选项中的delay tasks是同义表达。文章没提到这种人会努力工作、寻求帮助和接受失败，故排除B、C、D三项。答案：A7解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的信息The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.可知，作者建议要想避免 startup fatigue，就从最难的工作做起，故D项正确。答案：D8解析：推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的信息 Though willing to get started，we cannot seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear so great
