ffered a big fire. made a terrible mistake. was seriously injured. broke her phone accidentally.(4)What can be inferred about the author from the end of the passage? will go on living here. will resign from her job. will more into a new flat. will buy new daily necessities.【答案】 (1)C(2)C(3)B(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文為一篇記敘文,作者去西班牙的一個漂亮小島上做英語老師,雖然擁有自己的公寓,可是里邊的生活用具很老舊,給作者的生活帶來了諸多不便。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。所以作者剛到的時候是滿懷熱情的。 (2)考查推理判斷。t broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.”可知,接下來的幾周作者所住的房子里東西每天損壞一件,不壞的東西要么臟了,要么找不到了,洗衣籃里都是蟲子。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“ I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on Smoke soon started to appear.”可知,作者本來知道不能把將金屬烤架放進微波爐里,但是她還是這樣做了,導致冒煙,發(fā)生了故障。故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils(用具)”可知,作者還在學習如何利用有限的破舊的日常用品適應生活,因此推測她還會繼續(xù)住在這里。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。 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. We need to flip(翻轉) this approach. In a plex world, failure is inevitable. It is those individuals and institutions that have the flexibility to face up to failure, learn the lessons and adapt which eventually excel(突出).(1)The question raised in the first paragraph is to ________. A.analyze the reason for successC.s oppositionD.(3)What would be the best title for the passage? A.What we should learn from failureC.D.(1)考查推理判斷。后面以世界級滑冰運動員摔倒的次數(shù)更多來證明這一點,最后一句提出問題:為什么好的滑冰運動員反而摔倒的次數(shù)多呢?下文對這個問題做了回答,進一步闡明了文章的中心論點。故選A。第一段提出中心論點并以滑冰運動員為例引出第二段。而第四和第五兩段分別以醫(yī)療和20世紀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。故選A。文章第一段即提出中心論點:the paradox(悖論)is that our children can only truly succeed if they first learn how to fail,中間幾段以正反兩方面的例子證明了該論點。很明顯,文章的中心意思就是:失敗是孩子真正成功的必要條件?!军c評】本題考點涉及推理判斷,文章結構和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,概括歸納,從而選出正確答案。 There39。s why it made Nov 16th International Day for Tolerance. let us pardon each other39。 Very often, people don39。re intolerant.

Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.t been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain. Both scenarios (可能出現(xiàn)的情況) seemed equally possible. The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students39。t matter how strict their parents were, or whether they were boys or girls. Obesity struck all of these groups equally. Instead, sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the three years of study, the children averaged a healthy 9. 5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more or less than others.Scientists have found the exact causes of children39。
