A
Fly alone for the first time
I began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16 before you make flight by yourself. So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself. I used that time to master the basic maneuvers(要领) of flying. I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway. It wasn't always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right—I would never learn to fly, but by the next day, I was always eager to try again.
On the day of my 16th birthday, I made my first solo flight, which meant I could finally fly alone. The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds would probably be calm enough for me to fly solo. The next morning it was cold, but the sky was completely clear, and the winds were calm. I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings. But after the first one, he told me to pull off the runway, and he got out of the plane.
I was alone. As I climbed higher and higher, the world began to change. Everything on the ground became miniature. Houses, cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand. I made three takeoffs and landings that day. Each landing was perfect. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
Today, as a flight instructor, I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights. I understand the joy faces, which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true. I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can't do something, if you believe in yourself, you can succeed.

A. met several times of emergencies
B. was worried about his own safety
C. couldn't wait to fly alone in the sky
D. sometimes doubted his ability to fly
2. The underlined word "miniature" probably means "____"
A. distant B. unclear C. small D. high
3. What was the father concerned about before his son flied alone
A. Whether his son was brave enough.
B. Whether it would be too windy.
C. Whether he was able to protect his son.
D. Whether there were negative comments.
4. What lesson does the author learn from his experience

D. Think hard and you can achieve your dream.
B
Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.
In the videos of the experiments, he could see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they could wait and get two candies. The results were different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.
The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quicker were more likely to have received worse teachers and parental evaluations (评价)10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.
The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "How do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success " This is to enter the world of human nature.
So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is very important. Young people who can sit through boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of ordeals. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use and stealing.
1. What is the purpose of these experiments by the scientist
A. To find good ways of training children to learn.
B. To show that children's education is important.
C. To test children's self-control and later success.
D. To test children's intelligence of ringing the bell.
2. What do the underlined words "broke down" probably mean
A. Failed to wait. B. Kept waiting.
C. Hid the candy. D. Ate the candy.
3. How long did the scientist's experiments last according to the text
A. Just 15 minutes. B. Within 10 years.
C. Less than 14 years. D. About 28 years.
4. What will the children without self-control do at school according to the text
A. They will improve their education.
B. They will suffer a lot from boring lessons.
C. They will become very rich and successful.
D. They will work hard to catch up with others.

A
答案:1-4 DCBA
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It wasn't always easy, and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right—I would never learn to fly…”可知,“我”在练习的过程中并不顺利,曾经怀疑过自己是否能做到。故选D项。
2.词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“Houses, cars, and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand.”是对画线词所在句的进一步说明,由此可知, miniature应与tiny意义相同,意为“小的”。故选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“The night before, my dad, who was my flight instructor, explained that the winds were forecast to be high. He said if we were in the air by dawn, the winds would probably be calm enough for me to fly solo.”可知,父亲担心的是风速。故选B项。
4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can't do something if you believe in yourself, you can succeed.”可知,当你对自己有信心的时候,你就会获得成功。故选A项。
B
答案:1-4 CADB
解析:1.推理判断题。由第三段中的"The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success."可知,等待时间越长的孩子SAT分数越高,长大后会进入更好的大学,获得更好的成功,所以实验的目的在于探索孩子自控力和成功之间的关系,故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中的"The results were different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes."可知,结果是不一样的,有些孩子在一分钟内敲响铃声,而另外一些孩子坚持了15分钟,实验是对两类孩子进行对比,所以推断出break down意为"崩溃,无法再坚持",故选A。
3.细节理解题。由第一段中"He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy."以及第三段中"The children who rang the bell quicker were more likely to have received worse teachers and parental evaluations 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32."可知,开始做实验是孩子4岁的时候,最后在他们32岁的时候结束,实验持续了大约28年,故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中"For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of ordeals."可推知,缺乏自控力的孩子,学业对于他们来说就是连续的煎熬,故选B。
