After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together，these deep human urges（驱策力）count for much more than ambition galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like galileo all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent，“Why？Why？Why？”
Fortunately，curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and only need to recapture them
“The great man” said Mencius（孟子），“is he who does not lose his child’s heart. Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner，to avoid foolish leaps into the dark，to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people，and new ideas，with hesitation. But once having met and liked them we think how terrible it would have been had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start？Modestly，so as not to become discouraged I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers. to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom ‘s Cabin while cooking. You’ re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However, you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
5. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to_______.
A. propose a definition
B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion
D. present an argument
6. What does the example of Galileo tell us
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth
B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious
C. Creativity results from challenging authority
D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore
7. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent
A. Observe the unknown around you
B. Develop a questioning mind
C. Lead a life of adventure
D. Follow the fashion
8. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Curious minds Never Feel Contented
B. Reflections on Human Nature
C. The Keys to Achievement
D. Never Too late to learn
C

She gradually became famous for films focusing on women. “I just think, half the world is female,” she told . She makes films with these females in mind.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.

Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product--Can Candy.

Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of Ailie Candys profits to Big Smiles With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet，the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. Peoples attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So，don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 19 And like everything else in life，that takes practice. Remember even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20 It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,” I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you ”

答案：
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了过去100年中不同领域的四位女性先驱。
1. A细节理解题。根据 Jane Addams下的第一句话“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. （任何一个曾受到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢 Jane Addams）”可知，在历史上，Jane Addams以她的社会工作而出名，与A项相符。
2. C细节理解题。根据“…she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. ”可知，她没能在法律事务所找到工作，是因为她是一名女性，这与C项“对于女性的歧视”相符，故选C项。根据 Sandra Day O’Connor下的第一句“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School. ”可知，她在斯坦福大学法学院受过教育，并非缺少正规的法律培训，故A项错误；文中未提及她在法庭上的工作经验少，故B项错误；文中未提及她的经济状况，故D项错误。
3. D细节理解题。根据 Rosa parks下的“. it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year，and kicked off the civil-rights movement. ”可知，它导致了蒙哥马利巴士抵制运动，这场运动持续了一年多，开始了民权运动，故选D项，是 Rosa parks对美国的民权运动作出了很大贡献。
4. C推理判断题。根据 Jane Addams下的“…the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. ” Rachel Carson下的“If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. ”，Sandra Day O'Connor下的“the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. . . ”以及 Rosa parks下的“…it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott…kicked off the civil-rights movement. ”可知，文中提到的这几位女性都是不同领域的先驱（pioneer），因此C项正确。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。作者认为：有伟大成就的人和平庸的人的区别在于两种品质—好奇心和不满足，二者缺一不可。文章围绕此论点展开，旨在告诉读者，我们天生就具备好奇心和不满足的品质，需要的只是唤醒它们。本文体现了新课标立德树人的理念。
5. D写作意图题。本文是一篇议论文，作者开篇明义，阐述了自己对成功人士必备品质的看法，下面各段都是围绕着这一看法展开的，故选D项“提出论点”。A项意为“提出定义”，B项意为“做比较”，C项意为“得出结论”，均不符合文意。
6. D推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，作者认为，好奇心和不满足是取得成就的内驱力，比雄心抱负重要得多，然后给出伽利略的例子来论证这一观点。D项“伟大来自对探索的持久渴望”与这一观点一致，注意D项中的 desire与第二段第一句中的 urges是同义替换。第二段最后一句也可印证答案。
7. B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“‘The great man, ’said Mencius, is he who does not lose his child’s heart Yet most of us do lose it We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. ”可知，作者认为我们大部分人都失去了童心不再问问题，不再挑战习俗，只是随大流。由此可知，可以通过培养善于问问题的头脑来重新获得好奇心和不满足的品质。
8. C主旨大意题。浏览全文可知，文章主要论述了好奇心和不满足是取得成就的必备品质，二者缺一不可，全文围绕此论点展开，故C项“成功的关键”最适合作为文章标题。A项“好奇的人永远不会感到满足”、B项“对人性的反思”和D项“活到老学到老”均不符合文意。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了美国女导演 Sofia Coppola以及她的电影作品。
9. A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Her father is Francis ford Coppola，who directed the famous movie The Godfather. ”可知，导演电影 The Godfather的是 Sofia Coppola的父亲而不是Sofia Coppola，故选A项。
10. D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She gradually became famous for films focusing on women. ”可知，Sofia Coppola的电影通常关注“女性”，故选D项。
l1. C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She was named the ‘Worst Supporting Actress’ and ‘Worst New Star’ at the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The Godfather: Part Ⅲ. ”可知，Sofia Coppola作为一个女演员开始了她的电影事业，故选C项。
[语篇解读]文章讲述了一位少年创业成功的故事。小女孩 Alice Moore面对问题不退缩，想办法解决问题，经过两年的调研和多次实验，最终创业成功。她也给更多的孩子带来健康和微笑。
12. B推理判断题。根据题干中关键词 warning可直接定位到第二段第五句，该句表示 Alice Moore想要解决父亲提出的问题, 因为她不愿意放弃享用糖果的机会，故B项“她试图找到解决的办法”为正确选项。
13. A推理判断题。CanCandy为语篇的线索性词汇，它是 Alice Moore的公司研发的新产品。题干是问 CanCandy的特别之处，由此定位到第三段第一句，根据本句内容可知，它“既可口又对牙齿无害”，故A项“它有益于牙齿健康”正确
14. B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile. ”可知，Alice Moore希望每位小朋友都有洁净的牙齿和灿烂的笑容。B项意为“帮助别人找到笑容”，与原文意思相符。
15. C推理判断题。文章介绍了 Alice Moore年纪虽小，但面对问题不退缩，积极思考，想办法解决问题，勇于创新，最后创业成功的故事。故C项正确。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。有些人是天生的演说家，但大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家，是因为他们受过训练。文章就如何成为一名出色的演说家给出了一些建议。本文以提高演讲水平为话题关注自我发展与成长，有助于读者提高思辨能力和学习能力。
16. G上句提到“一些人生来就有公开演讲的天赋”，与此承接的语意应该是另一些人则要经过后天培训，故选G项“然而，大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家，是因为他们受过训练”。G项中的“the majority of people（大多数人）”对应上句的“some individuals（一些人）”，“train to be（训练使然）”对应上句的“are born with（与生俱来）”。
17. A关联逻辑法解题。前面一句说的是“当你站在公众面前演讲时，大多数情况下你关注的是公众，却牺牲了演讲”。言外之意，作者认为演讲者应关注演讲本身而不是公众，故选A项“反过来做”。F选项虽然也提到要关注“听众”，但是选项中的“the fear”在前文中没有提到，因此排除。
18. C前文说的是“即使最成功的演说家也会犯错……所以，除非错误非常严重，否则犯了错也不要停止演讲”。由此可推断设空处应该与“犯错”有关，故选C项“你没有必要为小失误道歉”。a minor slip（小错误）与前文的 a mistake为同义替换。
19. B由前句“你的目标不是成为一名完美的演说家”可以锁定B、E两项。但后句“就像生活中的其他一切事情一样，这需要练习”中有关键词“that”，因此空格处应提及“that”指代的内容故选B项“你想成为一名有影响力的演说家”，这是需要加以练习的。
20. D空后提到“很少听到有人会说：‘我希望演讲者能讲得更久些。’”另外，本段还给出了建议“总是让你的演讲比预期的稍短一点”，由此可知，位于本段段首的空格处应与缩短演讲时间有关。D项“说到公开演讲，通常越少就是越多”符合段落主题。这里的“less”指的是“less time”，“more”指的是“more benefits”或者“more gains”。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者十岁的女儿凯西在游泳训练的过程中所表现出的热情和坚强的意志以及给他人带来的鼓舞。
21. C上文语境题。联系前文的 a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer可知，凯西想加入（join）我们当地的游泳队。Improve改善；train训练；contact联系。
22. A上下文语境题。由空格前的 made it及后文的 a rough start可知，虽然凯西最终加入了游泳队，然而（however）训练却异常艰辛。前后文在语意上是转折关系，故填 however therefore因此；otherwise否则，不然；instead反而，代替。

24. A上文语境题。一天晚上，作者听到女儿咳嗽得非常厉害，决定让女儿完全放弃这项运动（pull her from it all）。文中的pull her from it意为“把她从这项运动中拉（pull）出来”，即让女儿放弃这项运动。tell告诉；hide隐藏；fire开火，解雇。

27. B上下文语境题。联系空格前的 kept swimming可以看出凯西刻苦训练的决心。再结合空格后的 a single practice可推知凯西一次训练也没有落下（miss）attend参加；ban禁止；start开始。
