Failing doesn’t make a failure. True failures are those who don’t learn from their 1 . Smart persons not only learn from their own mistakes—they pay 2 to the mistakes of others, equate error with opportunity, and learn valuable 3 as well, as this story illustrates (说明).

三.阅读理解

GU Zhaodi, 60, had taken water for granted for years. In fact, no one in the beautiful lake city

of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province had bothered to spare a thought on water.

But all that changed dramatically overnight last month when taps in the city ran dry. Due to a blue-green algae(藻类) outbreak in Taihu Lake, China’s third largest freshwater lake and the source of drinking water for 4 million Wuxi residents, water from the city’s taps became dark and smelly.

“I can’t believe there is no water for drinking, let alone cooking and washing,”said Ｇu.

The lake was blanketed with the algae, giving off a strong smell of rotting meat. A stone thrown into it took a long time to sink. Experts said that algae usually boom because of hot water and rich chemicals like phosphor(磷)in the water.

“High temperature and a lack of rain in the past few months helped the growth of algae,”said Zhang Lijun, an official from the State Environment Protection Administration. “However, pollution from human activity should be most blamed for the disaster.”

Taihu Lake is surrounded by many small factories, which sprang up in the 1980s.Inthe 1990s,many foreign-funded companies joined in. The industries prospered，Wuxi has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in East China.

But that came at the price of pollution. The lake was treated like a waste dump，with factories emptying industrial waste and untreated sewage(污水)into it.

Although, after the government's effort, life in the city has gone back to normal, the one-week crisis rang a bell for the government and local people.“It's time to rebuild the beauty of nature, or our lives will be at risk,”said Gu.

“A safe environment comes first. Economic growth will be nothing without fresh water to drink and clean air to b reathe.” said China Daily.

26、The following can help the blue green algae grow______

A. high water temperature

city.

D. Environment should be taken into consideration first if a city plans to develop its economic.

28、Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on. " Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only

recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All,her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. " I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease. "

But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow u p ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be. "

31. Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn't achieve her ambition.

B. She didn't take care of her mother.

C. She didn't complete her high school.

D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.

32, We can know that before 1995 Mary

A. had two books published

B. received many career awards

C. knew how to use a computer

D. supported the JDRF by writing

33. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her .

A. living with diabetes

B. successful show business

C. service for an organization

D. remembrance of her mother

34. When Mary received the life-changing news, she .

A. lost control of herself

B. began a balanced diet

C. Med to get a treatment

D. behaved in an adult way

35. What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Mary feels pity for herself.

B. Mary has recovered from her disease.

C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.

D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

For high school leavers starting out in the working world，it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习)．In some countries，schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the Unites States，however，such programs are still few and far between.

Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses，students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school，graduate and go on to higher education.

In Germany，students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German

companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.

But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country's most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.

Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York，for example，encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain the job experience in those fields while they're still at high school.

However，even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work，the job market is daunting. In the US，unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row.

“The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the Summer job experience，they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job，”said Michael，a researcher in the US.

36．In the author's opinion. American high school leavers________.

A. have enough career-related courses

B. need more career advice from their schools

C. perform better in exams than German students

D. can get higher earnings in later years

37．According to Robert Schwartz，________.

A. there is no need for kids to go for higher education in the US

B. students should get contact with the working world at high school

C. education reform should focus on students' performance in exams

D. teenagers in the US can't miss out on the summer job experience

38. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 most probabl y means________.

A. discouraging

B. interesting

C. creative

D. unbearable

39．What can be inferred from the text?

A. Unemployment rates for US teenagers remain high at the moment.

B. Students with career-based courses never have problems finding a job.

C. US companies work with schools to prepare young people for future employment.

D. High school leavers with no practical skills can't find a job absolutely

40．What's the main idea of the text?

A. Arguments about recent US education reform.

B. Tips on finding jobs for high school leavers.

C. The lack of career-based courses in US high schools.

D. Advice for American high school leavers.

高三英语周测试题

虎门中学高三周测英语试题1 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside. There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long. There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures. Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater：The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass. It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed. Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere. “And we came back excited about Gregory Peck,” she recalled. This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time-----one set in the sky, the other in the film. Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films. Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors(放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place---- even though they came here all the time. Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions. “We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet,” said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan. Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air---even when the lizards steal the scene. 21. The first two paragraphs want to show that__________. A. living in Broome is inconvenient B. the life in Broome is boring C. few people like to live in Broome D. Broome is simple but vast 22. Sun Pictures is different from other theaters because _________. A. it is the most historical outdoor theater in the world B. the audience can either sit on chairs or on the grass C. it was built by some constructor from Hollywood D. all the films were imported here from Hollywood 23. Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_________. A. a place B. a film C. a movie star D. a country fellow

Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these winged insects. She began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was 13. She was one of the few naturalists of her time to actually study live insects. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles. Lucy Stone If you know a woman who keeps her own surname after marriage, she is continuing a tradition started by Lucy Stone. She initially changed her name, but decided to change it back a year later. She held the belief that "a wife should no more take her husband's name than he should hers." She became the first American married woman to keep her own family name for her entire life. Both she and her husband also fought the popular idea that husbands had legal control over their wives. Nellie Bly. Famous journalist Nellie Bly, was born in 1864 in Pennsylvania. When a Pittsburgh Dispatch journalist wrote an article claiming that working women were unacceptable. Bly wrote an argument that got her a job offer from the paper, Pittsburgh Dispatch. In her most famous assignment, she spent ten days living in a mental institution to expose the conditions the patients faced. Alice Coachman Alice Coachman was the first African-American woman to win Olympic gold. She grew up in Georgia, where prejudice prevented her from joining sports teams. So she trained on her own.

She studied and drew live insects. B. She was the first woman to study insects. C. She found out the life cycles of caterpillars. D. She discovered the truth of several winged insects. 22.

河北省衡水中学2018届高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题(有答案)

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A It’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies". Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard. Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image. Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations. Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein,who once said,"It's not that I'm so smart,it's that I stay with problems longer."Obviously,finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
