me to be a winner.D. You can always learn something when trying.E. Don39。t worry! It39。ll probably never happen.F. Don39。t pare yourself with others. I39。m forty now. I left school twentytwo years ago. Here39。s my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school.________ I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I pare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could.________ How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. They39。re just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably won39。t remember most of the things you worry about now.________ When I was young, I often failed to start things I expected to do because I thought they39。d taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm(熱情). It seemed such a long time. Now I know a year is nothing, if I39。d started that book when I was 16, I might have written 10 more by now. I39。m upset with myself for not even trying.________ As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again and again until you learn. But at school you are usually encouraged to do things right. Then you stop trying new things in case you get them wrong. You are losing chances to challenge yourselves. I always remind myself: I had fallen off the bike many times before I learned to ride it.________ I hated losing when I was younger. Of course, it39。s nice to win sometimes and to be the best at something. But we can39。t all be winners all the time. Learning to lose is one of life39。s most important lessons. If you try your hardest, then you should never be angry with yourself.【答案】 F;E;B;D;A 7.請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從方框內(nèi)所給的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。 We39。ve heard about several poor students in the past year.

In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot. Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days. One of the problem is the new out of town shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. Because the small shops have disappeared in the downtown, more people have to travel to do their shopping. Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 163。100, for example. A short 15minute bus trip can cost over 163。. Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.Environmental ________ in BritainTimecauses________SolutionsIn the ________Smog ________ coal fires and factories________ 4,000 people died in 1952.New laws were ________.TodaySmog caused by ________.About 160 people ________ in a few days in 1991.★Provide better and ________ public transport.★Build special paths for bicycles.★Travel to work ________ in one car.【答案】problems;Results;past;from;Over;introduced;cars;died;cheaper;together 【解析】【分析】環(huán)境問題現(xiàn)在是全球共同的話題,短文以英國為例進(jìn)行了說明。與許多國家一樣,英國有嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境問題。政府頒布新法律來阻止來自燒煤和工廠的煙霧,情況改善很多。在英國運(yùn)輸非常昂貴,因此,批評(píng)家說,英國需要更好和更便宜的公共交通。⑴根據(jù)第一段第一句 In mon with other countries, Britain has serious environmental 。故填problems。⑵根據(jù)表格的分類:時(shí)間,原因,解決辦法;和表格下方的內(nèi)容可知此列是環(huán)境問題的后果,故填results。⑶本文是現(xiàn)在與過去的對(duì)比,故填past。注意不可用1952,因?yàn)榭崭袂坝衪he。⑷根據(jù)The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories 可知填from。⑸根據(jù)出現(xiàn)4,000的這句話more than 4,000 people d
