James Dyson worked through 5,126 failed prototypes(原型) for his dual cyclone vacuum before coining up with the design that made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put it: “You can39。 The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice, attempting jumps that stretch their limitations. This is why they fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lowerlevel skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, remaining within their fort zone. This is why they don39。故選D。故選A。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks.

OneWorldTV is an Internet site where you can find stories about the developing world and human rights, rather than the usual stories about US politics and business. The writers for this pany are often local people who write the stories for free. This nonprofessional journalism is increasing, and it certainly offers more choices. However, there are alternative news channels which people watch because they want a less traditional or nonWestern view on world events. Russia Today and Al Jazeera International, an Arabic pany, are international channels that broadcast in English. Both panies say they give a fresh view on big stories, and their experienced journalists often report from places where Western journalists do not work, and so they give us stories that we don39。 The main international broadcasters are BBC World and CNN.

This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people39。 Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.（1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to B.D.They have more desires.C.D.B.D.All rich people are untrustworthy.(1)考查推理判斷。s feelings.”按照科學(xué)家的研究，富人們通常認(rèn)為錢可以解決一切麻煩，所以他們更不害怕冒險，也意味著他們更少在乎其他人的感受，可知，他們喜歡冒險并不是讓他們不道德的因素，而且從常識來說，并不是所有喜歡冒險的人就是富人，而且喜歡冒險也不代表不道德，故選A。(4)考查推理判斷。【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。 We want our children to succeed, in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖論) is that our children can only truly succeed if they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that worldclass figure skaters fall over more often in practice than lowlevel figure skaters. At first sight this seems contradictory. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most?t fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. The truth, however, is that by never failing, they never progress.t develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.”t like to admit to failure, partly because they have healthy egos(自我)(particularly the senior doctors) and partly because they fear litigation(訴訟). The consequence is that instead of learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes are repeated. According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. Until healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve.s opposition(1)考查推理判斷。故選A。而第四和第五兩段分別以醫(yī)療和20世紀(jì)七十年代的兒童教育為反例證明：不經(jīng)歷失敗就不會獲得成功和提高。文章第一
