三、阅读理解
I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless one.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters(滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.
I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention.
1. What drove the author to make a bagless vacuum cleaner

2. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A. The help from the author's wife.
B. The financial problems of the family.
C. The tough process of the new invention.
D. The procedures of making a bagless cleaner.
3. Why did the companies refuse to license the author's technology
A. They thought they might suffer loss.
B. They considered it not good enough.
C. They faced legal problems themselves.
D. They had begun making such machines.
4. What lesson may we learn from the author's experience
A. Think twice before acting.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
答案以及解析
一、填空
1.答案：had left
解析：句意为:等我们到达火车站时，火车已经开走了。根据句中”By +过去时间点”的提示可知,设空处应使用过去完成时。
2.答案：was founded
解析：句意为:这家公司成立于1980年，因专业的服务赢得良好的声誉。设空处为定语从句的谓语,根据时间状语in 1980可知应用一般过去时。found和从句主语which之间为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
3.答案：have heard
解析：句意为：这是我学生时代听过的最励志的演讲。”It is the +形容词最高级+名词+ that +主语+ have/ has done”为固定句式，意为”这是某人……最……的……”。
4.答案：Driven
解析：句意为：出于对电影深深的热爱，毕业后她成了一名电影导演。设空处应用非谓语动词形式作状语，drive与其逻辑主语she为被动关系，故填Driven。be driven by...为固定搭配，意为”被……驱使”。
5.答案：disciplined
解析：句意为:公司表示对遵守纪律的员工予以优待。设空处在定语从句中作表语,应用形容词。
6.答案：reference
解析：句意为:我写信是为了咨询关于贵公司空缺岗位的事情。in reference to为固定搭配，意为”关于……”，相当于about。
7.答案：advanced
解析：句意为:晚期肾病患者可获得医疗服务。设空处修饰名词短语kidney disease，作定语，应用形容词，advanced在本句中意为”晚期的”。
8.答案：where
解析：句意为:这个男孩陷入了只能依靠自己的境地。设空处应填where,引导定语从句。当先行词为situation, stage, case 和point且定语从句中缺少地点状语时，关系副词常用where。
9.答案：that
解析：句意为:尽管同岁，他们却没有任何共同兴趣。此处为that 引导的同位语从句，解释其前面的抽象名词fact的内容。”名词+ of an age”为固定搭配，等同于”名词+ of the same age”，意为”年 龄相同”。
10.答案：to
解析：句意为:你找到迷宫的入口了吗？可数名词entrance后面常接介词to,意为”……的入口”，此类名词还有exit，key, solution, approach 等。
