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. 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?【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和段落大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇新聞報(bào)道，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)第五段中的“the time of the Greek philosopher Theophrastus, about 310 BC, who used the bottles to study water currents. Scientists still apply the method to this day, as a means to help researchers develop ocean circulation maps, and to crowdsource scientific studies of ocean currents.”可知，在公元前310年的希臘哲學(xué)家西奧弗拉特斯時(shí)期，用瓶子來研究海洋水流，而且科學(xué)家現(xiàn)在仍在用。故選C。(3)考查推理判斷。surprised“驚訝的”，與asionished是同義詞。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由此可知本段主要描寫了Kruiswijk如何養(yǎng)成了收集漂流瓶的嗜好。第二段主要講述了68歲的Kruiswijk的不尋常的愛好始于1983，當(dāng)他在當(dāng)?shù)氐暮┌l(fā)現(xiàn)三個(gè)有信件和回信地址的漂流瓶，他給每個(gè)漂流瓶留的地址都寫了回信，卻驚訝地收到了每個(gè)人的回復(fù)。To send a message to his loved person.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，漂流瓶是一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期存在的人類傳統(tǒng)，一直被用于發(fā)送遇險(xiǎn)信息，紀(jì)念親人或發(fā)邀請(qǐng)函，還用于幫助研究人員進(jìn)行洋流的研究。To study ocean currents.B.s the purpose of Theophrastus using the bottles?

I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snowcapped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.6．閱讀理解根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still”可知，美輪更充滿活力一點(diǎn)，喜歡上躥下跳地玩耍，美奐則更安靜點(diǎn)，喜歡靜坐，故選B。根據(jù)第四段中的“gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread”逐漸地用中國(guó)面包（饅頭）代替美國(guó)食物，故前一句“The zookeeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit”的意思肯定是飼養(yǎng)員正試圖讓他們戒掉吃美國(guó)餅干的習(xí)慣，故此處的wean them off就可以斷定為“去除”的意思，選A。故選D。(1)考查推理判斷。D.Mei Lun is living a more active lifeC.Mei Huan mainly eats bambooD.help them form.C.s hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.（2）What does the underlined part “wean them off” in the fourth paragraph mean?
