zing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which is 480 million kilometres away. The trip from the Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced(彈起)away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to the Earth.(1)Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn39。t finish college because . A.they preferred to learn by themselvesB.they needed standard ways of teachingC.their teachers didn39。t like their new ideasD.their teachers weren39。t able to teach them(2)In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that .

They prefer to teach themselves可知,比爾蓋茨和馬克扎克伯格喜歡自學(xué),所以退學(xué),故答案是A。 (2)主旨大意題,根據(jù)Find your answers from factsnot start with an expectation of what you will find. 可知,第二課主要說的是要從事實中找答案,故答案是A。 (3)邏輯推理題,根據(jù)第三顆主要說的是要有點運(yùn)氣,但是彗星67P上環(huán)境如何無人知道,成功與否無人知道,這就需要一點運(yùn)氣了,故答案是C。 (4)標(biāo)題判斷題,根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,這三課都是從成功那里學(xué)到的,也是為了成功,故答案是B。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解題、邏輯推理題、標(biāo)題判斷題和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)理解題要可以直接從文中尋找答案;文章出處題需要根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容確定其來源;邏輯推理題需要聯(lián)系上下文,推斷出需要的信息;標(biāo)題判斷題需要在充分理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上,總結(jié)中心思想,凝練句式,最終確定答案;主旨題需要通讀全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。9.閱讀理解 The people who make a difference in your life e in all types. For me, that person wore a tie with a Pizza Hut logo on it. I found my first and best mentor (良師益友)at a job in fast food. I started working at Pizza Hut when I was a freshman in high school. All new workers started by washing dishes and clearing tables. On the first night, there were so many dishes I needed to wash after I cleared the tables. My job was ended at 9:00 pm, but when I asked to leave, the manager Jeff refused, allowing me to go home after the work was done. I tried my best and stayed on dish duty for weeks. I asked Jeff when I could do something different. He promised if I did well in my job and didn39。t plain, the next week he would let me make table. And he did so. My relationships with those stepfathers were terrible, so Pizza Hut became not only my escape from home, but also a special home. In my real home, I felt changeable and out of control. At work, a path seemed clear: Work hard and do things correctly, and you will succeed. This model had not seemed possible before. Senior year arrived. I knew I would go to college though I loved the job. I told Jeff I wanted to apply to Boston University. He told me to leave work, and send application (申請)at once. I ended up with getting into Boston University, but I had never visited Boston. However, Jeff surprised me with a graduation present: a trip to Boston. While I was away, he was promoted (升職)and a different person was put in charge of the store. I went back to work anyway over winter vacation, but the magic was gone. Washing dishes for Jeff was busy and dirty work. But any of other jobs are not always enjoyable in themselves, either. The most I learned from that man in the Pizza Hut is that any job can be the best if you have the right boss.(1)What did new workers begin with at Pizza Hut?

A few months ago, Missy came to my friend39。s house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time. When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牽繩) to get her to e to us. She wanted to e but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy n
