“Father Christmas” (or “Santa Claus” ) has become the human face of Christmas. Pictures will be seen everywhere of the old man with long white beard, red coat, and bag of toys. Children are taught that he brings them presents the night before Christmas, and many children up to the age of 7 or 8 really believe this is true. In most countries, it is said that he lives near the North Pole, and arrives through the sky on a sledge (snow-cart) pulled by reindeer(驯鹿). He comes into houses down the chimney at midnight and places presents for the children in socks or bags by their beds or in front of the family Christmas tree.
In shops or at children’s parties,, someone will dress up as Father Christmas and give small presents to children, or ask them what gifts they want for Christmas. Christmas can be a time of magic and excitement for children.
Father Christmas is based on a real person, St. Nicholas, which explains his other name “Santa Claus” which comes from the Dutch “Sinterklaas”. Nicholas was a Christian leader from Myra (in modern-day Turkey) in the 4th century AD. He was very shy, and wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it. It is said that one day, he climbed the roof of a house and dropped a purse of money down the chimney. It landed in the stocking which a girl had put to dry by the fire! This may explain the belief that Father Christmas comes down the chimney and places gifts in children’s stockings.
24. According to the passage, “Santa Claus” _________.
A. has a long black beard B. wears a yellow coat
C. has a basket of toys D. usually arrives on a sledge pulled by reindeer
25. “Father Christmas” sends presents to children on _________.
A. New Year’s Eve B. June 1st
C. the night of December 24th D. the night of October 25th
26. Which of the following is NOT true about St. Nicholas
A. He was good at climbing into the houses to steal money.
B. He lived in the 4th century AD.
C. He was a Christian.

My track and field coach, Mr. Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4×100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr. Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practiced passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should be as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let it go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the corner. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose ” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.
28. What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to
A. Going too slowly. B. Taking off too late.
C. Passing the baton. D. Going beyond the yellow line.
29. Why was the author confident of winning the race
A. They worked as a team and were supported by the spectators.
B. They gained an advantage of a stable state of mind in the race.
C. They had learned how to avoid breaking the rules in the race.
D. They had perfected the running speed and the passing of the baton.
30. What can we infer about the author
A. She ran too fast throughout the race. B. She lost his focus in the race.
C. Her start skill needed improving. D. She was not well-trained in running.
31. How would the author feel after the race
A. Proud. B. Grateful. C. Disappointed. D. Excited.
D
For so long, failure has been pictured as something negative, something to be ashamed of and something to be kept a secret. But a Swedish psychologist, Samuel West, has decided to put our worst fears on the table. He is opening a museum -- the Museum of Failure -- in Helsingborg, Sweden, this June.
Instead of showing successes, as museums usually do, the Museum of Failure will display over 60 “failed” products from big-name companies such as Nokia, Apple and Coca-Cola. “I really hope you see that these mega-brands that everybody respects, they screw up too,” West told The New York Times. “I hope that makes you feel less nervous about learning something new.”
West’s opinion isn’t a new one. Albert Einstein once said, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” And this idea has been embraced (接受)by lots of companies in the US. Silicon Valley, for example, is the home of some of the world’s most creative companies, yet its slogan turns out to be, quite surprisingly, “Fail fast, fail often.”
However, there are reasons for this. “The best companies are those that encourage failure, embrace out-of-the-box thinking, and allow employers to make mistakes and see what happens,” wrote Simon Casuto of Forbes.
But some people are doubtful of this so-called “culture of failure”. They are worried that if failure becomes a “symbol of honor”, as Wired magazine put it, it may even be seen as “uncool” when someone tries to reduce the risk of failure. This may push people to care too little and try too little.
“Sometimes people hid behind failure, when they could have prevented it,” wrote Anna Isaac of The Telegraph.
So it’s important that you set apart the two kinds of failure—the kind that makes you a loser and the kind that takes you forward. The key is whether you’ve learned something from your mistakes.
“Learning is the only process that turns failure into success.” West said The Guardian.” If you don’t learn from your failures, then you’ve really failed.”
32. What does the underlined phrase “screw up” in the second paragraph mean
A. Make a profit. B. Make a mess.
C. Make a highlight. D. Make a risk.
33. What messages does the slogan “Fail fast, fail often.” convey
A. The more failure, the better. B. Accept failure, and try new things.
C. The more you fail, the less success you achieve. D. Failure is more important than success.
34. Which magazine shows doubt about the culture of failure
A. The New York Times. B. Forbes.
C. Wired. D. The Guardian.
35. What’s West’s opinion about failure
A. Failure’s value lies in learning from it. B. If you fail, you are a loser.
C. It’s not necessary to try to reduce the risk of failure. D. Failure is the key to put you forward.

The father asked his son, “What is this ” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this ” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.”
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this ”
At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this ”
This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’ Are you not able to understand this ”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page:
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son.
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father.

【答案】参考范文
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling angry while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself, “If I am in old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding ”
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said aloud, “I promise to let you feel happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering me with your selfless affection. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will pay you back in the best way.” And then he hugged his father lovingly.

【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索，讲述一个父亲在儿子小时候很耐心地对待儿子，而儿子长大后却对父亲没有耐心，用这个故事来号召我们要善待父母。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“看了日记，儿子泪流满面，开始回想过去和父亲坐在一起的日子。”可知，第一段可描以前父亲对他相同的问题耐心回答的事情。
②由第二段首句内容“儿子感到羞愧，在父亲面前跪了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他向父亲道歉，请求父亲原谅他不良行为。
2.续写线索：看完日记——回忆——自己问父亲同一个问题——耐心回答——感到羞愧——道歉——承诺好好对待父亲
【点睛】[高分句型1] If I am in old age, how will my son look at me （句中if引导条件状语从句）
[高分句型3] It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering me with your selfless affection.（句中使用强调句型）

We will learn how to fight fires on trains, fires in buildings and fires at petrol stations. This is a very important part of the course because it helps to get used to working in very hot, smoky places. If you want to apply for this course, you must be 18 years of age or over, have a full driving license and be very fit. You must also be able to work as a part of a team and be able to solve problems in very difficult situations. The other thing you need to remember before applying for this course is that you will often be working when your friends are enjoying themselves. If you have any questions, please come and see me in my office, which is Room 116 on the first floor.
