第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people
D. talk to people with the same interests
38. According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend
A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B. One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C. Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D. Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.
A. keep the conversation going B. end the conversation
C. show kindness D. respect others
B
I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened.
Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning. I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks wilting (蔫) indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived.
Thankfully. I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions (防范). Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger.
41. Why did the author mention her sister-in-law’s visit at the beginning
A It reminded the author of her past hugs.
B. It encouraged the author to hug strangers.
C. It made the author think of her large family.
D. It made the author forget the pandemic temporarily.
42. What happened to the author when she lived in her hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia
A. Her leg collapsed in an explosion.
B. Her mother loved her too much to send her to America.
C. She was warmed by her neighbor’s hug.
D. She recovered quickly from the wounds of the war.
43. How did the author feel when she hugged her father
A. Frightened B. Relieved C. Embarrassed D. Astonished
44. What problem did the author find after she came to America
A. She was treated badly by her host family.
B. She couldn’t catch up with her classmates at school.
C. She couldn’t adapt to the new environment.
D. She missed and worried about her family members.
45. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article
A. To express how she feels about war.
B. To share how important hugs are to her.
C. To introduce the ups and downs in her life.
D. To complain about the impact of the pandemic.
C
“We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection.
Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”, “too long”, “Children would not be interested in it”. Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies.
Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: “I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...”
So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you... ”
46. What do you know about J.K. Rowling according to the passage
A. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided to ask her favourite writers for help.
B. Rowling’s publishers refused to publish her novel because it was not attractive to children.
C. One publisher eventually agreed to print 5,000 copies of her first novel.
D. Rowling has been confident in her own novels.
47. What does the sentence in paragraph 2 “When she received her first rejection letter she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers...” mean
A. She decided to remain poor for a long time.
B. She decided not to give up like her favourite writers.
C. She decided to receive a lot of rejection letters.
D. She decided to publish her novel on her own account.
48. What do you know from the whole passage
A. Salinger finished his novel The Catcher in the Rye during the Second World War.
B. It’s within the pages of Wuthering Heights that we can find these words: I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...
C. The three Bronte sisters lived in Victorian England, where women were not encouraged to became a writer.
D. Writers of great works rarely face criticism along with rejection.
49. What is the structure of the passage

B. Introduction—Question and Solution—Conclusion

D. Introduction—Cause and Effects—Conclusion
50. Choose another suitable title for the passage and give your reasons.

D
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to keep everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam (坝) across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the idea led to protests (抗议). Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics (遗迹) that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage (遗产). After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, ran several tests, and then made a suggestion for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. present an argument B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. introduce a topic
52. What could we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The idea of building a dam has gained popularity.
B. The floods of the Nile destroy many temples and cultural relics every year.
C. A new idea met with a challenge.
D. A new dam was to build to protect Egypt’s cultural heritage.
53. What is the purpose of establishing the committee
A. To raise money for the dam.
B. To complete the dam as soon as possible.
C. To find a way to reduce the loss of cultural heritage.
D. To show that the government is taking this problem seriously.
54. How were the temples and other cultural sites saved
A. The buildings were rebuilt in safe areas.
B. They were sold to other countries.
C. The buildings were taken down piece by piece.
D. The government finally gave up the dam project.
55. What could be the best title of the passage
A. From Problems to Solutions
B. How to Build a Dam
C. Protecting Cultural Heritage
D. The Aswan Dam

阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
It is never too late to add some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger:
Don’t wait until tomorrow. Enjoy every moment of today, because you are not guaranteed a tomorrow. Don’t put off your dreams. Don’t wait to do. If it’s important to you，then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, to the people around you, to the task at hand and to all of the choices you make today.
It’s called work for a reason. Success at anything takes work. When you hear about an overnight success story don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success. Keep going.
Don’t burn your bridges. You never know when a former boss，colleague, business partner or acquaintance may come in handy. Try to part on good terms, stay on good terms and never gossip(说长道短)about former connections. A wide pool of friends, coworkers and connections of all kinds will provide a wealthy resource of ideas and support as you go forward in life.
It’s not a race. You have so much to do and it feels as though you have to be in a hurry to get there. But in fact，you do not have to do it all at once. If you try to do it all at once, you will at best not have time to enjoy it and at worst burn out and damage your health and relationships. Slow down and take one thing at a time, one day at a time．
Look for the good in everything. Stay positive. Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments. Give helpful encouragement rather than negative criticism. If you view the world around you and life’s challenges through goodness，then you will find life much more enjoyable．
56. What’s the author’s attitude towards success (No more than 15 words )

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people
D. talk to people with the same interests
38. According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend
A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B. One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C. Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.

I had not hugged a friend or a family member for more than two years until recently when my sister-in-law flew in for a brief visit. For everyone’s safety, we met outside. Despite the wintry weather, her hug warmed me from the inside out. It’s strange, but only now do I truly realize how much I’ve missed embracing loved ones-- the warmth that remains long after our arms have loosened.
Growing up through war in my hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia, every moment was full of danger. On one peaceful morning. I had begged my mom to let me go outside after spending weeks wilting (蔫) indoors. She finally agreed. I was outside for only 10 minutes when I was caught in an explosion. I ran to my neighbor’s house for safety and threw my arms around her neck just as my legs collapsed underneath me. She hugged me with both arms and dragged me into her house. I was still in her arms when the ambulance arrived.
Thankfully. I made a full physical recovery, but the emotional scars never left me. Years later there was another explosion near my house. I was safely inside, but my father had left to buy a loaf of bread. He had only just missed the blast. When he came back inside, I gave him the biggest hug imaginable. I was caked in tears as I held him tight.
That same night my parents managed to arrange my escape from our war-torn city. They desperately wanted at least some of my childhood to be normal. I was 16 and came to America on my own. A generous host family took me in and I began learning English and going to school. They had a large dog called Oscar. Over the next several months, I secretly struggled with feeling homesick and worried about my family back home. Despite managing quite well at school, I couldn’t express my feelings. The only way I shared how I felt was by giving Oscar a big hug.
It is yet another sad aspect of our pandemic lives that hugging a stranger is the last thing on our minds. For many of us, even hugging a relative or a friend comes with stress and anxiety over risks and precautions (防范). Perhaps we have undervalued the impact of a simple hug. As I look back on my past, I count myself truly lucky to have been held, shielded and encouraged at some of the most key moments of my life by the almost super power of a hug. I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger.

I pray that in the not-so-distant future we can safely hold one another again - a friend, relative, or even a stranger.(也许我们低估了一个简单拥抱的影响。当我回顾过去的时候，我觉得自己真的很幸运，在我生命中最关键的时刻被拥抱的力量所拥抱、保护和鼓励。我祈祷在不久的将来，我们能够再次安全地拥抱彼此——一个朋友，一个亲戚，甚至一个陌生人。)”可知，作者嫂子来拜访作者，见面时拥抱了作者，这让作者想起来过去对别人拥抱的重要经历，并告诉我们一个简单的拥抱会产生重要的影响。由此可推知，作者的写作目的是分享拥抱对她有多重要。故选B。
C
“We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection.
Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children”, “too long”, “Children would not be interested in it”. Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies.
Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: “I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...”
So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you... ”

Rowling.(以J.K.罗琳为例)”和文章第三段中“All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published.

Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to keep everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam (坝) across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the idea led to protests (抗议). Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics (遗迹) that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage (遗产). After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, ran several tests, and then made a suggestion for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. present an argument B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. introduce a topic
52. What could we learn from Paragraph 2
A. The idea of building a dam has gained popularity.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了埃及建造阿斯旺大坝时，为了防止对古建筑等造成损害，埃及政府向联合国求助，并最终得到了解决。而这种解决方法也为联合国以后解决类似问题提供了新思路。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to keep everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.(如果我们想改善社会，经济发展是必要的。总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，在我们走向未来的时候，不可能把一切都从过去保留下来。在进步和保护文化遗址之间找到并保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。)”可知，作者在第一段说明进步和保护文化遗址之间很难找到平衡点。而下文内容可知，埃及政府向联合国求助后，既可以建设大坝，同时又可以保护文化遗址。因此，第一段主要是为了引出本文主题。故选D。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam (坝) across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area.

(20世纪50年代，埃及政府想要在尼罗河上建造一座新的大坝，以控制洪水，生产电力，并为该地区更多的农民提供水。但是这个想法引起了抗议。大坝的水可能会破坏一些庙宇和文化遗迹，这些文化遗迹是埃及文化遗产的重要组成部分。)”可知，建大坝这个想法并未得到人们的赞同，人们纷纷抗议。故选C。
【53题详解】

【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions.

If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.(也许最好的例子是联合国教科文组织，该组织开展了一项防止世界各地世界文化遗产消失的计划。如果一个问题对一个国家来说太难了，国际社会有时可以提供一个解决方案。)”可知，该问题得到了妥善的解决。因此，本文主要讲的是建造阿斯旺大坝如何从一个问题最终得到了妥善解决。所以“From Problems to Solutions(从问题到解决方案)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。

阅读下面短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
It is never too late to add some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger:
Don’t wait until tomorrow. Enjoy every moment of today, because you are not guaranteed a tomorrow. Don’t put off your dreams. Don’t wait to do. If it’s important to you，then do it today. Pay attention to what is happening now, to the people around you, to the task at hand and to all of the choices you make today.
It’s called work for a reason. Success at anything takes work. When you hear about an overnight success story, don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success. Keep going.
Don’t burn your bridges. You never know when a former boss，colleague, business partner or acquaintance may come in handy. Try to part on good terms, stay on good terms and never gossip(说长道短)about former connections. A wide pool of friends, coworkers and connections of all kinds will provide a wealthy resource of ideas and support as you go forward in life.
It’s not a race. You have so much to do and it feels as though you have to be in a hurry to get there. But in fact，you do not have to do it all at once. If you try to do it all at once, you will at best not have time to enjoy it and at worst burn out and damage your health and relationships. Slow down and take one thing at a time, one day at a time．
Look for the good in everything. Stay positive. Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments. Give helpful encouragement rather than negative criticism. If you view the world around you and life’s challenges through goodness，then you will find life much more enjoyable．
56. What’s the author’s attitude towards success (No more than 15 words )
_______________________________________________________________________________
57. List three kinds of helpful bridges while you go forward in life. (No more than 8 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined word “coworkers” mean in English (No more than5 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
59. What’s the result if you do something in a hurry (No more than 20 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
60. In your opinion, which lesson in the passage is the most meaningful to you Why (No more than 30 words )

57. a former boss，a colleague，a business partner, an acquaintance
58. Colleagues / people working together
59. I will not have time to enjoy it or burn out and damage my health and relationships.
60. Success at anything takes work. Because we all know that, no pains, no gains.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了生活中实施一些新奇的事情永远都不晚，就此作者给出了一些自己建议。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Success at anything takes work. When you hear about an overnight success story, don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success. Keep going.” 任何事情的成功都需要努力。当你听到一个一夜成功的故事时，不要忘记之前的所有工作。在你获得成功之前，你可能不得不做你不喜欢的工作。由此可知，作者认为任何事情的成功都需要努力。故答案可以为Success at anything takes work. 或You have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Don’t burn your bridges.You never know when a former boss，colleague, business partner or acquaintance may come in handy.” 不要过河拆桥。你永远不知道以前的老板、同事、生意伙伴或熟人什么时候会派上用场。由此可知，在生活中可能帮助你的人有你以前的老板、同事、生意伙伴或熟人。故答案可以为a former boss，a colleague，a business partner, an acquaintance.
【58题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中“You never know when a former boss，colleague, business partner or acquaintance may come in handy. 你永远不知道以前的老板、同事、生意伙伴或熟人什么时候会派上用场。”以及“A wide pool of friends, coworkers and connections of all kinds will provide a wealthy resource of ideas and support as you go forward in life.” 当你在生活中前进时，广泛的朋友、同事和各种各样的联系将为你提供丰富的思想资源和支持。由此可知，划线词coworkers可能指的是同事或是一起工作的人。故答案可以为Colleagues 或 people working together.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“If you try to do it all at once, you will at best not have time to enjoy it and at worst burn out and damage your health and relationships.” 如果你试图一次做完所有的事情，最好的情况是你没有时间去享受，最坏的情况是你会筋疲力尽，损害你的健康和人际关系。由此可知，答案可以为I will not have time to enjoy it or burn out and damage my health and relationships.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。结合对文章的理解，文中的哪一个建议对你有启发。答案可以为Success at anything takes work. Because we all know that, no pains, no gains.
【点睛】推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。如本题第1小题，根据文章第三段中“Success at anything takes work. When you hear about an overnight success story, don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success. Keep going.” 任何事情的成功都需要努力。当你听到一个一夜成功的故事时，不要忘记之前的所有工作。在你获得成功之前，你可能不得不做你不喜欢的工作。由此可知，作者认为任何事情的成功都需要努力。故答案可以为Success at anything takes work. 或You have to do work you do not enjoy before you get success。
