Ⅰ. 阅读理解
(2019·昌平高一检测)
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, either everything you see in your 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 numbers of things before you succeed. 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(后果) of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in case it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited 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 properly so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. If you accept and use your mistakes in this way, you can make great progress 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 ahead and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.
【语篇概述】文章介绍了关于错误的问题。犯了错误说明我们学习了新事物, 如果我们不去尝试新事物, 我们就不会失败。我们面对失败要有正确的态度。
1. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _________.  
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. we are afraid of trying new things
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. mistakes are better than not trying
【解析】选D。 推理判断题。根据第二段中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? 可知犯错才能说明我们尝试了新事物, 没有尝试就不会有进步。所以错误总比不尝试好。
2. The underlined word “eliminate” means _________.  
A. avoid　　B. remove　　C. accept　　D. solve
【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据第四段Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some numbers of things before you succeed. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer. 可知在我们尝试的过程中有很多问题, 每一次我们犯错, 都是在移除一个难题, 离目标更近一步。
3. 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. taking consequences into consideration
D. trying things out one by one
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第四段中But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. 可知这并不意味着我们不要考虑错误的结果, 也就是说我们要考虑犯错误的结果到底是什么样。
4. 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. OK! Now I can learn something.
D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.
【解析】选C。 推理判断题。根据文章第二段mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. 可知错误是人们尝试新事物的象征, 所以当我们犯了错误的时候, 我们就可以对自己说我能够学习到新的知识了。
【名师点睛】
推理判断题之根据事实细节, 推断合理信息
　　推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上, 作出一定判断和推论, 从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话, 也可能是某几句话, 但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据, 既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理, 也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说, 要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意, 切忌片面思考, 得出片面结论。

A
Dodder(菟丝子) is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. It’s almost leafless, thread-like stems (茎) hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了菟丝子的特殊生长习性和对农作物的危害。
1. Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A. To analyze the content of some food.
B. To describe the shape of dodder plants.
C. To explain where the dodder plants come from.
D. To argue that dodder plants can be used.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句中 the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces可知, 作者用意大利面来形容菟丝子的形状。B项意为“为了描述菟丝子的形状”, 符合文意。故正确答案为B。
2. What will happen if a dodder plant starts growing where there are no other plants around?
A. It will die sooner or later.
B. It will grow deep roots.
C. It will attract other plants.
D. It will cover the entire area of soil.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句中 If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear. . . 可知, 如果旁边没有植物可以依附, 菟丝子很快就会枯萎而亡。A项意为“它迟早都会死亡”, 符合文意。故正确答案为A。
3. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Dodder does not produce its own food.
B. Dodder can affect farmers’ income.
C. Dodder can only survive in the shade.
D. Dodder only grows in the warm areas.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第二句 When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely. 可知, 菟丝子的蔓延会减少农民的收成, 甚至完全毁灭庄稼, 即菟丝子会影响农民的收入, 故B项正确。
4. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. A new variety of farm crops
B. Plants that are harmful to humans
C. The special abilities of a dangerous plant
D. Recent improvements in farming methods
【解析】选C。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句 Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. 以及对菟丝子特殊的生长习性和危害的叙述可知, 文章旨在介绍这种既特殊又危险的植物。故用“一种危险植物的特殊能力”作为文章的标题, 契合文章内容。故正确答案为C。
