So I asked my grandpa for advice when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “To some extent, examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for long time to check my results. I took my grandpa’s advice. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is more better than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen to opinion from old people.

三、 阅读理解
21. What should you think about when trying to find your career?You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show the strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand,you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job,they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills,such as typing or technical drawing,which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer,think what you gained from it.If nothing else,you may have learned how to get to work on time,to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example.Just as important,you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be_ all_ thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record,for instance,may not be too good,yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of working hard at school.
B. Choosing a career according to one's strengths.
C. How to face one's weakness.
D. The value of school work.
5. According to the passage,doing a part-time job for a student is probably ______.
A. a good way to find out his weak points
B. one of the best ways of earning extra money
C. of great use for his work in the future
D. a waste of time he could have spent on study
6. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs”(in Para.3)probably means “______”.
A. be clumsy at doing things B. be skillful in doing things
C. be not interested in certain things D. be easily bored in doing things
7. From the last paragraph we know one should ______.
A. make full use of one's own weak points B. study harder for a new school record
C. apologize for one's own school record D. face one's own weak points bravely
参考答案:
4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
本文是一篇议论文,文章关于如何选择自己的事业给出了建议。文章首先举例说明,要根据擅长科目来选择职业。然后建议通过特长确定工作,通过兼职增加实力。最后讲要正确看待自己的缺点。
4. 主旨大意题。本文第一段就举例说明,要根据自己擅长的科目,和从中体现出的优势,来选择自己的职业。第二段建议考虑和自己特长相关的工作,并通过兼职增加自己的实力。第三段建议要正确看待自己的缺点。从中可以看出,文章建议学生从自己的优点入手,寻找合适的职业,因此选B。A项文中没有涉及,C、D只说明了部分文章内容,没有概括性。
5. 细节推断题。第二段“If you have had a part-time job...”句意为“如果你做兼职,想想从中收获了什么。无论如何,你做到了按时工作和遵循前辈指令。重要的是,你可能通过兼职发现自己有兴趣或擅长的领域”。从中推测,文章对兼职的态度是正面的,认为兼职可能对工作很有帮助。故选C。...
6. 细节推断题。根据并列句,“perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.”和后文“It is better to face any weakness...”可知短语为贬义,可能是“笨拙、不能胜任”的意思。故选A,意为“笨手笨脚”。
7. 细节推断题。最后一段讲的是要正确对待自己的缺点,由第三句“It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.”可知,文章建议读者要直面现实存在的缺点,不试图遮掩它们。据此可推测出D“勇敢面对自己的缺点”。A、B、C选项均与段意不符。
22. They train four hours a day,often waking up at 4:30 or 5:00 for before-school practices.Their evenings and weekends are eaten up by twice-weekly travel games.Every day is the same;there’s no break.No,these aren’t Olympic athletes;they’re kids.
The benefits of sports are obvious.So,it’s not surprising that,according to CNN,41 million American children play competitive sports.But when does this become too much of a good thing?
Seven years ago,a survey in SportingKid magazine found 84 percent of athletes’ parents had observed belligerent behavior in other parents at games and that 80 percent had been targets of this behavior.What does this say about sports culture,and our culture as a whole?Some parents have become so crazy about their children’s winning that they don’t stop to think about what example they are setting.
If athletes are constantly surrounded by adults who scream at coaches and attack sports officials,they may think that this is acceptable behavior.They’ll try to win at all costs.In other words,they won’t know how to accept defeat,and learn from it.
The amount of time some athletes spend practicing can be dangerous.According to Sports Illustrated,over 3.5 million athletes younger that 15 suffered from a sports-related injury—that’s nearly one in ten!Many injuries cause permanent(永久的)damage if not treated.
So what can we do about this situation?Some argue that there is no problem,because sports has always been and will always be competitive.But did your grandparents spend hours each day practicing tennis or volleyball?No,they probably played with the neighborhood kids after school,not worrying about winning.All they wanted was to have fun.And that’s what we need to change in youth sports—focus on enjoyment.
12. What does the underlined word“belligerent”refer to?
A. Mild. B. Aggressive.
C. Elegant. D. Rcasonable.
13. What’s the consequence of adults’ bad examples?
A. Young athletes’ scores will be affected.
B. Young athletes’ performance will suffer.
C. Young athletes won’t deal with failure properly.
D. Young athletes won’t know how to succeed.
14. What is the tone of the text?
A. Critical. B. Relaxed.
C. Objective. D. Humorous.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. More practice,less failure
B. Fight for victory to the last second
C. Prohibit kids from competitive sports
D. Enjoyment first,competition second
参考答案:
12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
本文属于社会现象类文章。主要讲述体育运动有好处,但让孩子过分训练可能让他们受到永久性的损害。父母对孩子成功的狂热让运动员不惜一切代价争取胜利,同时却不能正确对待失败。因此作者提出这需要改变,要让青年在体育中享受快乐。
【12题详解】
猜测词义题。根据第三段中Seven years ago,a survey in SportingKid magazine found 84 percent of athletes’ parents had observed belligerent behavior in other parents at games and that 80 percent had been targets of this behavior.(七年前,《体育儿童》(SportingKid)杂志的一项调查发现,84%的运动员家长在比赛中观察到其他家长的好斗行为,80%的家长曾是这种行为的目标。)根据文中的targets of this behavior说明有些家长把一些人当作了目标,有“好斗的”行为。由此可知划线词的意思是“有侵略性的,好斗的”,故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段 “If athletes are constantly surrounded by adults, … they won’t know how to accept defeat, and learn from it.” 如果运动员经常被教练和攻击体育官员的尖叫的成年人包围,……他们就会不知道如何接受失败,并从中吸取教训。分析本句可知成年人的榜样会让年轻运动员不知如何对待失败。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句① “But when does this become too much of a good thing?”(什么时候它变成好事呢?)第三段最后一句② “Some parents have become so crazy about their children’s winning that they don’t stop to think about what example they are setting.”(没有思想他们树立的榜样)第四段最后一句 ③ “They’ll try to win at all costs. In other words, they won’t know how to accept defeat, and learn from it.”(成年人让年轻运动员不知如何正确对待失败)尤其是最后一段的最后一句④ “And that’s what we need to change in youth sports—focus on enjoyment.”(需要改变,要让青年在体育中注重娱乐。)分析以上的内容可知作者对此持批评的态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者对对让儿童每天都要训练不休息,以及有些父母对于孩子的成功如此狂热,让年轻人不惜代价取得成功,不会从失败中吸取教训。从而提出要改变这种状况,即青少年在运动中首先要注重娱乐,开心。尤其是文章的最后一句“And that’s what we need to change in youth sports—focus on enjoyment.” 是本文的中心句,分析选项可知D项与之相符,故选D。
