第三部分：完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)
Whatever misfortune you face, just hold up your head and face it with a smile! I got to know this from a musical soul.
The other day I was feeling quite 36 , having just been laid off from my job. With so many 37 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.
I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the 38 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was coming from. Through the 39 I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 40 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 41 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.
She might have felt my 42 for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 43 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her 44 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”
She explained to me that she sees so many 45 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 46 motivational music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 47 time lately, but you’ve made me 48 again.”
“I’m happy that I could be 49 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 50 about what to do….”
“You see, here’s the 51 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because 52 comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should 53 more … lift your head up.”
I was really 54 by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So 55 in trouble, just face it bravely and you're sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

第四部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
A
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.
（ ）56.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
B.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
C.People remember well what they learned in childhood
D.Stories for children are easy to remember.
（ ）57. The author explains the law of overlearning by __________.
A. using examples B. presenting research findings
C. making a comparison D. setting down general rules
（ ）58. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _________.
A. a skill to deal with math problems
B. a result of overlearning
C. a special case of cramming
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
（ ）59. What is the author's opinion on cramming?
A. It increases students' learning interest.
B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It's possible to result in poor memory.
D. It's helpful only in a limited way.
B
It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper(成功).
（ ）60. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______.
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. mistakes are better than not trying
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. we are afraid of trying new things
（ ）61. The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.
A. dismiss B. avoid C. accept D. solve
（ ）62. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is ____.
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the punishment willingly
C. trying things out one by one
D. taking consequences into account
（ ）63. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A. Never mind, I can always try again.
B. I’d better stay out of trouble.
C. Great! Now I can learn something.
D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.
C
Searching for airfares (飞机票价) often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose.
Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute. Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge. Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best
