Car alarms went off, thousands of windows were broken and mobile phone networks were interrupted for a short time. The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a great explosive sound. “I was driving to work. It was quite dark, but it suddenly became bright as if it were day，” said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.” The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tonnes and may have been made of iron, entered Earths atmosphere and broke apart 30 km 50 km above ground according to Russias Academy of Sciences.“The energy released when it entered the Earths atmosphere was equal to a few kilotonnes，” the academy said, “the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.”No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and cleanup workers were sent to Urals Region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.1What do we learn about the meteorite from the passage?AIt is a very huge ball made of iron.BIt quickly broke apart on the ground.CIt exploded over Russias Urals Region.DIts similar to an Abomb in weight.2The underlined word “smashed” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “_”Abroke BmeltedCswallowed Dcleared3We can know from the passage that _.AMoscow is 1,500 kilometers away from the east of ChelyabinskBmany houses were destroyed, with lots of people reported missingCViktor Prokofiev became blind after seeing the rare spectacleDthe shock wave briefly influenced mobile phone networks4Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A“Meteorite Rush” Begins in RussiaBPresident Putin Orders AssistanceCMeteorite Hits Russia, 1,200 People HurtDMeteorite Flies Quickly Across RussiaB(2014扬州第二学期期中考试)There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment.This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cellphone.The most common complaint about cellphones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cellphones interruption of our thoughts. We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cellphones, and this is by and large (大体上) a healthy, protective development. “I didnt hear it ring” or “I didnt realize my phone had shut off” is among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where were beyond reach. The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cellphones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cellphone devotees (信徒), myself usually included, cant help at times wanting to throw their phone away, or curse the day they were invented. But we dont and wont, and there really is no need. All thats required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt for the rings of our own phones. A cellphone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us, though the call on my cellphone may be the oneinamillion from Steven Spielberg who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and Im better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza Ill eat for lunch.5What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?ATo direct readers attention to the main topic.BTo show how important inspiration is to a poet.CTo emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cellphone.DTo encourage readers to read the works of this poet.6What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cellphones?AIt is a way of signaling that you dont like the caller.BIt is natural to tell lies about small things.CIt is basically a good way to protect ones privacy.DWe should feel guilty when we cant tell the truth.7According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cellphones?APeople get so obsessed (着迷) with the cellphone rings that they fail to notice anything else.BPeople feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cellphones.CCellphones interrupt peoples private time.DWith cellphones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.8What does the last paragraph suggest?AA person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.BSteven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the authors novel.CYou should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cellphone.DNever let cellphones disturb your life too much.Tales of the unexplained单元检测(B卷自主选做).完形填空(2014苏州高中毕业班第一次教学质量检测)One day, a kind woman happened to say something that hurt her best friend of many years.

Weve been scolded when we make mistakes at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes we have figured out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,_make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: We dont just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing usually . then you construct a model in your mind . then you test it out by trying it in the real world . then you make mistakes . then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation . and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until youve pretty much learned how to do something.Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new because if you succeed in something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that success at most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if its a good journey. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.1Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?ABecause mistakes make us suffer a lot.BBecause its a natural part in our life.CBecause weve been taught so from a young age.DBecause mistakes have ruined many peoples careers.2According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?AWe should try to avoid making mistakes.BWe should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.CWe should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.DWe should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.3The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means _.Aa small child learning to walkBa kindergarten child learning to drawCa primary pupil learning to readDa school teenager learning to write4We can learn from the passage that _.Amost of us can really grow from successBgrowing and improving are based on mistakesCwe learn to make mistakes by trial and errorDwe read about something and know how to do it right away5The author wants to tell us _.Awhat you should do when meeting with difficultiesBwhere you can find your mistakesChow you can avoid making mistakesDwhy you should celebrate your mistakes.任务型阅读(2014南京高三学情调研)We all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight, learning the guitar, speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to achieve. Why is it that one person succeeds where another person fails? I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally or through research, that the rest of us havent yet. I have made a list of some habits to help you set goals and achieve them.Identify your core valuesWhat is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit offtopic when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values is key to creating motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goalChoose one goal to start. Something large enough, while agreeing with your core values, that will give you a sense of accomplishment. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. If you spread yourself too thin, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long. Believe me, multitasking cannot make you concentrated.Set a deadlineSet a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.Build the right mindset (心态)Believe fully in your ability to achieve your goal. Imagine yourself having completed your goal in the exact timeframe you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You dont need to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is sure to come. Others may think you will fail, but dont let yourself be one of them and be positive!Break down goalsKeep the number of tasks per day as low as you can, and focus on completing only your planned tasks for each day. Do the hardest things during your peak energy level, which usually means doing them first! Also keep in mind that completing the hardest task first is a successful way of increasing your productivity. If you put it off until later in the day, your energy level is bound to drop, and finishing the hard task will seem impossible. But, if you start off with the hardest task, when your energy level is high, you will have the focus and energy required to finish it off. By always accomplishing whats most important, you are making clear progress toward your goal.Take
