Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln plete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced filmmakers, except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organisation offering youth arts programmes in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organisations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’（移民）feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, considered among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a year-long and highly public battle with cancer.
Jobs’ health had been a hot topic for years. His battle with cancer had been a deep concern to Apple fans, investors（投资人）and the company’s board alike.
Jobs’ death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words “Steve Jobs, 1955-2011”. A message on the site read, “Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.”
“Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless creations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve,” Apple said in a statement announcing Jobs’ passing.
The news caused an immediate outpouring of sympathy. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he will miss Jobs “immensely”.
“By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he was a typical example of the spirit of American ingenuity（独创性）. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible but fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grown-ups alike,” said President Barack Obama.
Now, despite investor confidence in Cook, who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence, there remain concerns about whether the company would stay creative without its founder at the helm（掌舵）．
40. What can we learn about Jobs
A. People knew little of his disease before he died.
B. He didn’t suffer much before his death.
C. A lot of people were concerned about his health.
D. He didn’t know that he was seriously ill.
41. The black-and-white picture of Steve Jobs is featured to ________.
A. tell people the story of Steve Jobs
B. let more people learn about Apple
C. seek support for his battle with cancer
D. announce that Jobs is dead
42. We can learn from the text that Apple ________.
A. is busy looking for a new CEO to replace Jobs
B. sings high praise for Jobs’ contributions
C. didn’t trust Jobs any longer after he got ill
D. helped Jobs win the public battle with cancer
43. After Steve’s death, ________.
A. Cook will be the leader of Apple
B. Bill Gates will take over Apple
C. Apple won’t no longer be so creative
D. President Obama is still confident in Apple
C
Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（怀旧）. It’s fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, love, and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It’s empty, but it’s where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property （住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom. But I don’t mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I’m home.
44. Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone”（Paragraph 3）
A. It is her favorite place to play.
B. Her needs can be satisfied there.
C. Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side.
D. Her parents always play together with her there.
45. What can be learned from the passage
A. The old furniture is still in the author’s first bedroom.
B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.
C. The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room.
D. Many people of the author’s age can still find their first physical homes.
46. Sometimes when she feels lost，the author will .
A. open the window at night
B. lie down in bed to have a dream
C. try to bring back a sense of home
D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
47. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To express how much she is attached to her home.
B. To declare how much she loves her first house.
C. To describe the state of her family.
D. To look back on her childhood.
D
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55, 000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.
48. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean
A. I was waiting for good fortune.
B. I was trying to find an admirable job.
C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
49. The author decided to write a novel ________.
A. to finish the writing course
B. to realize her own dream
C. to satisfy readers’ wish
D. to earn more money
50. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed.
C. Confident. D. Uncertain.
51. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？
A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.
B. Hard work can lead to success.
C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析
1. D 句意：事故发生后，这家医院的医生和护士很快到达了现场，所以没有人员伤亡。signal“信号”；sign“迹象，符号”；sight“风景，视力”；scene“现场，景色”。
2. B no sooner...than…为固定结构，表示“刚……就……”。no sooner置于句首时，句子需用倒装语序且用过去完成时态。
3. C 句意：只有用这种方法，你才能及时完成这份工作。当only引导的状语置于句首时，句子部分倒装。
4. A be intended for…为……打算／设计。
5. A 句意：老师说，他担心的是玛丽的学习而她的私人生活并不是他关心的事。concern“关心的事，感兴趣的事”；schedule“日程表”；attitude“态度”；task“任务”。
6. C 句意：地球变暖的现象已经引起了人们很大的关注。a huge number of和a great many均修饰可数名词；a large sum of后面一般接表示“钱”的词，故选C项。
7. C 考查固定搭配。in a whisper=in a low voice“低声地”；sound泛指自然界的一切声音；noise多指噪音。
8. C 考查动词短语辨析。句意：学好英语不容易，但如果你坚持下去，最后你会成功的。hang on“坚持下去”。hang up“挂断电话”；hang about“闲逛”；hang on to“紧紧握住”。
9. A 考查形容词辨析。句意：在绳子的帮助下，两个人正在不平的地上拖一块大木头。rough“粗糙的”；vast“宽广的”；large“大的”；rude“粗鲁的”。
10. C 考查定语从句和强调句式。句意：是在他经常钓鱼的那个湖里他救了那个溺水的女孩吗？本句用了强调句式，强调介词短语from the lake，lake后为定语从句，且从句中缺少地点状语，用where引导，故选C项。
11. B 考查非谓语动词。be intended to do/for...“要做／目的是……”，此处作定语，故用intended.
12. A 句意为“必须找到一种更好的方式来实现资源的平均分配”。distribution“分配”；contribution“贡献”；catalogue“为……编目录，登记”；separation“分离”。
13. B 考查动词词义辨析。demand“需要，要求”；accomplish“完成”；achieve“实现，完成”。只有acquire“获得；得到”符合句意，故选B项。

15. B 考查虚拟语气。句意为：杰克似乎很高兴，好像他没丢自行车（实际上丢了）。从句意可知从句的谓语部分是对过去动作的虚拟，在as if从句中，对过去的动作虚拟用过去完成时，故选B项。
16. A Sibson被一阵雷声震醒之后才明白发生了什么事情。before意为“在……之前”，符合语境。while意为“当……时”；since意为“既然”；until意为“直到……”。
17. D over此处意为“越过”,指暴风雨掠过他的两层木屋。

19. D 由后一句提到他去打911以及下一段中的“a wall of flames”可知此处火焰应该是迅速扩大。explode 意为“爆发；迅速扩大”,符合语境。

21. B 由后面的a wall of flames以及后一句的trapped可知他应该是被火墙给挡住(stop)了。burn意为“烧伤”；shock意为“使震惊”；cover意为“覆盖”。
22. B 由语境可知,此处指Sibson的房子离主干道有三千米远。off含有“与(某物)相隔,距离”之意,符合语境。

27. B 由常识可知,接线员应该是警告他不要进入(enter)屋子。
28. C 由常识判断,被大火困住的时候Sibson发出的声音应是“尖叫”,故选C项。
29. A 着火的房子应该会对人的呼吸(breath)有影响,故此处为“他进入了房子,但很快就跑了回来喘气”。
30. D 上文提到Huggons进入了房子但很快出来了,此时再一次尝试进入。stay “停留,待在”；chance “机会”；thought“想法”；attempt“尝试”。
31. B 再次尝试着进入房子以后,他放弃了,然后原路绕了回来。

34. C 他把梯子搭上了阳台并把Sibson拉(pull)了下来。persuade意为“说服”；kick意为“踢”；force意为“强迫”。
35. D 通读全文可知Huggons救了Sibson，Sibson在讲述这个故事时,应该是感激的(thankful)。
36. C 细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句可知影片是由孩子们自己制作的为孩子们观看的，所以选C项。
37. B 细节理解题。由文章第三段“...offering youth arts programmes...”可知选B项。本题要看出a nonprofit organisation和前面Wingspan Arts是同位关系；又要看出offering…是现在分词用作定语，相当于which offers...。
38. C 猜测词义题。从其后面的shown（放映）看，放映的是影片，结合本文内容，放映的是九个短片。所以选择C项。
39. A 细节理解题。由第四段中的“…to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure…”以及下文内容可知影片包含不同的主题，所以选A项。
40. C 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知C项正确。
41. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中with the words “Steve Jobs, 1955-2011”可知，这幅黑白照片公示了乔布斯的生卒时间，即宣布了他的逝世。
42. B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，苹果网站的首页换成了乔布斯的黑白照片，再根据“creative genius, amazing human being, brilliance, passion and energy”等可知，苹果公司对乔布斯的贡献给予了极高的评价。
43. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“…Cook, who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence…”可知，库克将继任苹果公司的掌舵人。
44. B 细节理解题。由第三段最后两句“Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking...until the morning.”可知，她的需要能在那儿得到满足，所以B项符合题意。A、D两项文中都没提到，而C项只是对房间摆设的介绍，而不是题干的原因，所以这三项均可排除。
45. B 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到，作者回到了她的第一个家，以及倒数第二段中的“...on a physical property on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.”可知，作者现在仍然能够参观她在洛杉矶的第一个家，故B项正确。由第二段的最后两句可知，作者的第一个卧室里面空了，所以A项错误；由第三段中的“If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room.”可知，作者最喜欢的房间是父母的房间，而不是餐厅，故C项错误；D项文中没有提及。
46. C 细节理解题。由最后一段可知，当作者感到迷茫的时候，她会躺下，闭上眼睛，然后想象着回家的情景。所以C项“尽量找回一种家的感觉”符合题意。A项只是作者想象情景中的一个片段；B项“躺在床上做一个梦”，其实作者并不是真的做梦；D项“去洛杉矶看她的妈妈”文中没有提及。
47. A 推理判断题。通读全文可知作者写本文的目的是想表达自己对家的依恋之情。而B、C、D三项只是对文章内容的表述，不是写本文的目的。故选A项。
48. C 句意理解题。联系后面讲述的自己尝试了各种工作，但是都不如意可知，作者当时毫无目的地做着事情，只是为了糊口。A、B两项均有一定干扰性，联系“just trying to earn an income”可以排除这两个选项。
49. B 细节理解题。从第二段的“to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel”可知，写小说是作者的梦想。D项有一定干扰性，联系文章可知，作者在积攒了一些能从事写作的钱后就为梦想拼搏了，因此她写作的目的不是为了赚更多的钱。
50. D 细节理解题。通读第三段可知，处在两种工作的过渡期时，作者羞于承认自己在写小说，因为自己没有信心，不确定能否成功。
51. A 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知，作者刚开始决定做件不同的事情时似乎看不到希望，但最后幸运突然来临带给她不敢相信的回报，所以作者想告诉我们的是坚持自己的目标就会有所回报。

One possible version:
Failure Is the Mother of Success
We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have achieved success and suffered from failure. As for failure, different students take different attitudes.
Some are in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident, trying to find out and analyse the causes so that they will not make similar mistakes again in future.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great people have failed many times before they succeed. So we must deal with our failure correctly.

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln plete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced filmmakers, except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organisation offering youth arts programmes in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organisations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’（移民）feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, considered among the greatest American CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a year-long and highly public battle with cancer.
Jobs’ health had been a hot topic for years. His battle with cancer had been a deep concern to Apple fans, investors（投资人）and the company’s board alike.
Jobs’ death was announced by Apple in a statement late on Wednesday. The homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with the words “Steve Jobs, 1955-2011”. A message on the site read, “Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.”
“Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless creations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve,” Apple said in a statement announcing Jobs’ passing.
The news caused an immediate outpouring of sympathy. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said he will miss Jobs “immensely”.
“By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he was a typical example of the spirit of American ingenuity（独创性）. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible but fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grown-ups alike,” said President Barack Obama.
Now, despite investor confidence in Cook, who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence, there remain concerns about whether the company would stay creative without its founder at the helm（掌舵）．
40. What can we learn about Jobs
A. People knew little of his disease before he died.
B. He didn’t suffer much before his death.
C. A lot of people were concerned about his health.

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（怀旧）. It’s fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You’ll realize what’s changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, love, and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It’s empty, but it’s where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property （住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it’s where I’ll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom. But I don’t mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I’m home.
44. Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone”（Paragraph 3）
A. It is her favorite place to play.
B. Her needs can be satisfied there.
C. Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side.
D. Her parents always play together with her there.
45. What can be learned from the passage
A. The old furniture is still in the author’s first bedroom.
B. The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.
C. The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room.
D. Many people of the author’s age can still find their first physical homes.
46. Sometimes when she feels lost，the author will .
A. open the window at night
B. lie down in bed to have a dream
C. try to bring back a sense of home
D. go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
47. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To express how much she is attached to her home.
B. To declare how much she loves her first house.
C. To describe the state of her family.
D. To look back on her childhood.

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55, 000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.
48. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean
A. I was waiting for good fortune.
B. I was trying to find an admirable job.
C. I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
49. The author decided to write a novel ________.
A. to finish the writing course
B. to realize her own dream
C. to satisfy readers’ wish
D. to earn more money
50. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel
A. Disturbed. B. Ashamed.
C. Confident. D. Uncertain.
51. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？
A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.
B. Hard work can lead to success.
C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

答案与解析
1. D 句意：事故发生后，这家医院的医生和护士很快到达了现场，所以没有人员伤亡。signal“信号”；sign“迹象，符号”；sight“风景，视力”；scene“现场，景色”。
2. B no sooner...than…为固定结构，表示“刚……就……”。no sooner置于句首时，句子需用倒装语序且用过去完成时态。
3. C 句意：只有用这种方法，你才能及时完成这份工作。当only引导的状语置于句首时，句子部分倒装。
4. A be intended for…为……打算／设计。
5. A 句意：老师说，他担心的是玛丽的学习而她的私人生活并不是他关心的事。concern“关心的事，感兴趣的事”；schedule“日程表”；attitude“态度”；task“任务”。
6. C 句意：地球变暖的现象已经引起了人们很大的关注。a huge number of和a great many均修饰可数名词；a large sum of后面一般接表示“钱”的词，故选C项。
7. C 考查固定搭配。in a whisper=in a low voice“低声地”；sound泛指自然界的一切声音；noise多指噪音。
8. C 考查动词短语辨析。句意：学好英语不容易，但如果你坚持下去，最后你会成功的。hang on“坚持下去”。hang up“挂断电话”；hang about“闲逛”；hang on to“紧紧握住”。

10. C 考查定语从句和强调句式。句意：是在他经常钓鱼的那个湖里他救了那个溺水的女孩吗？本句用了强调句式，强调介词短语from the lake，lake后为定语从句，且从句中缺少地点状语，用where引导，故选C项。
11. B 考查非谓语动词。be intended to do/for...“要做／目的是……”，此处作定语，故用intended.
12. A 句意为“必须找到一种更好的方式来实现资源的平均分配”。distribution“分配”；contribution“贡献”；catalogue“为……编目录，登记”；separation“分离”。

21. B 由后面的a wall of flames以及后一句的trapped可知他应该是被火墙给挡住(stop)了。burn意为“烧伤”；shock意为“使震惊”；cover意为“覆盖”。

28. C 由常识判断,被大火困住的时候Sibson发出的声音应是“尖叫”,故选C项。
29. A 着火的房子应该会对人的呼吸(breath)有影响,故此处为“他进入了房子,但很快就跑了回来喘气”。
30. D 上文提到Huggons进入了房子但很快出来了,此时再一次尝试进入。stay “停留,待在”；chance “机会”；thought“想法”；attempt“尝试”。

35. D 通读全文可知Huggons救了Sibson，Sibson在讲述这个故事时,应该是感激的(thankful)。
36. C 细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句可知影片是由孩子们自己制作的为孩子们观看的，所以选C项。
37. B 细节理解题。由文章第三段“...offering youth arts programmes...”可知选B项。本题要看出a nonprofit organisation和前面Wingspan Arts是同位关系；又要看出offering…是现在分词用作定语，相当于which offers...。
38. C 猜测词义题。从其后面的shown（放映）看，放映的是影片，结合本文内容，放映的是九个短片。所以选择C项。
39. A 细节理解题。由第四段中的“…to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B. B. King to a science fiction adventure…”以及下文内容可知影片包含不同的主题，所以选A项。
40. C 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知C项正确。
41. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中with the words “Steve Jobs, 1955-2011”可知，这幅黑白照片公示了乔布斯的生卒时间，即宣布了他的逝世。
42. B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，苹果网站的首页换成了乔布斯的黑白照片，再根据“creative genius, amazing human being, brilliance, passion and energy”等可知，苹果公司对乔布斯的贡献给予了极高的评价。
43. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“…Cook, who has taken the place of his boss during three leaves of absence…”可知，库克将继任苹果公司的掌舵人。
44. B 细节理解题。由第三段最后两句“Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime—waking...until the morning.”可知，她的需要能在那儿得到满足，所以B项符合题意。A、D两项文中都没提到，而C项只是对房间摆设的介绍，而不是题干的原因，所以这三项均可排除。
45. B 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到，作者回到了她的第一个家，以及倒数第二段中的“...on a physical property on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.”可知，作者现在仍然能够参观她在洛杉矶的第一个家，故B项正确。由第二段的最后两句可知，作者的第一个卧室里面空了，所以A项错误；由第三段中的“If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents’ room.”可知，作者最喜欢的房间是父母的房间，而不是餐厅，故C项错误；D项文中没有提及。
46. C 细节理解题。由最后一段可知，当作者感到迷茫的时候，她会躺下，闭上眼睛，然后想象着回家的情景。所以C项“尽量找回一种家的感觉”符合题意。A项只是作者想象情景中的一个片段；B项“躺在床上做一个梦”，其实作者并不是真的做梦；D项“去洛杉矶看她的妈妈”文中没有提及。
47. A 推理判断题。通读全文可知作者写本文的目的是想表达自己对家的依恋之情。而B、C、D三项只是对文章内容的表述，不是写本文的目的。故选A项。
48. C 句意理解题。联系后面讲述的自己尝试了各种工作，但是都不如意可知，作者当时毫无目的地做着事情，只是为了糊口。A、B两项均有一定干扰性，联系“just trying to earn an income”可以排除这两个选项。
49. B 细节理解题。从第二段的“to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel”可知，写小说是作者的梦想。D项有一定干扰性，联系文章可知，作者在积攒了一些能从事写作的钱后就为梦想拼搏了，因此她写作的目的不是为了赚更多的钱。
50. D 细节理解题。通读第三段可知，处在两种工作的过渡期时，作者羞于承认自己在写小说，因为自己没有信心，不确定能否成功。
51. A 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知，作者刚开始决定做件不同的事情时似乎看不到希望，但最后幸运突然来临带给她不敢相信的回报，所以作者想告诉我们的是坚持自己的目标就会有所回报。

One possible version:
Failure Is the Mother of Success
We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have achieved success and suffered from failure. As for failure, different students take different attitudes.
Some are in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. But most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident, trying to find out and analyse the causes so that they will not make similar mistakes again in future.
I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great people have failed many times before they succeed. So we must deal with our failure correctly.
