Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
4. What’s the following is right before the author’s stepmother came into his life
A. People had noticed his cleverness.
B. His father had been away from home for a long time.
C. He knew how to show his enthusiasm properly.

B. She gave some writing lessons to him at home.
C. She moved the family into the centre of the county.
D. She planned the future for each family member.
6. What does the author mean by “I wasn’t the only beneficiary”
A. There were other boys who behaved as badly as he did.
B. His stepmother bought typewriters for other family members, too.
C. Not only he but also his family gained from his stepmother’s enthusiasm.
D. Other family members’ enthusiasm has great effects on his stepmother.
7. Which of the following is best the title of the passage
A. Enthusiasm, a Power for Success B. Enthusiasm, a Challenge for All
C. Enthusiasm, a Gift from my Father D. Enthusiasm, a Tradition in Families
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家因为继母的热情分别取得了成功，作者将自己的成功归功与继母。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”(父亲把我介绍给她时说：“我想让你见见这个家伙，他是这个县里出了名的最坏的男孩，他可能最迟明天早上就会向你扔石头。”)”可知，在作者的继母进入他的生活之前，被认为是一个行为粗野的粗鲁男孩。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”(然后她看着我父亲，回答说；“你错了。这根本不是最坏的孩子，而是最聪明的孩子，只是还没有找到释放自己热情的方法。”)”；倒数第二段“She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.(她说服我父亲去了一所牙科学校，他以优异的成绩毕业。她把我们家搬到了县中心，在那里父亲的事业可能会更成功，我和哥哥可以接受更好的教育)”以及最后一段“When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer.(当我14岁时，她给我买了一台二手打字机，并告诉我她相信我能成为一名作家)”和“My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.(我父亲成了镇上最富有的人。我的兄弟和继兄弟分别当了医生、牙医、律师和大学校长)”可知，A选项“她从心底里表扬了他”、C选项“她把家搬到了县城的中心”以及D选项“她为每个家庭成员计划未来”文章都提到了，B选项没有提及，故B选项“她在家给他上了一些写作课”不正确。故选B。
【6题详解】
句意猜测题。根据划线句后文“My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.(我父亲成了镇上最富有的人。我的兄弟和继兄弟分别当了医生、牙医、律师和大学校长)”可知，作者的家人都因为继母的热情而获得了成功，故作者所说的“我不是唯一的受益者”意思是不仅作者，他的家人也都从他继母的热情中获益。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.(另一个人的热情——做任何事情的强烈愿望和兴趣，是我走向成功的力量。那个人就是我的继母)”结合文章主要讲述了作者一家因为继母的热情分别取得了成功，作者将自己的成功归功与继母。可知，A选项“热情——一种成功的力量”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos (将放射性物质注入犀牛角) to save the animals from poachers (偷猎者).
While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.
The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”
Dr Guy Castley from Griffith University said that any injection into the horn itself won’t hurt because the horn is made up of a material called keratin, which is the same as human nails and hair. “The horn itself does not have any nerves or blood vessels (神经或血管) inside it. So it’s not likely to cause the rhino any discomfort or pain,” he said.
Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn “... so that it does not spread to the body or hurt anything in the environment.”
“We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said. Sensors could also be used to pick up radioactive material in the horns, making it harder for poachers to send them to other countries.
8. What is the author mainly talking about in paragraph 2
A. Poaching is under effective control.
B. Rhinos are in a dangerous situation.
C. The protection of rhinos is rather costly.
D. Rhinos are very popular in South Africa.
9. According to Dr Klein, why is lots of testing needed
A. To find out what makes up rhino horns.
B. To decide which medicine is suitable for rhinos.
C. To examine whether the injection will harm rhinos.
D. To show that rhino horns are useless in treating illnesses.
10. What is Dr Castley’s attitude toward using radioactive material
A. Careful. B. Satisfied. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To report a research result on rhinos.
B. To introduce a possible way to save rhinos.
C. To stress the importance of stopping poaching.
D. To explain the ill effects of radioactive material.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了南非科学家已经开始研究有一天将放射性物质注射到犀牛角中，以从偷猎者手中拯救动物。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.(虽然使用放射性物质听起来像是一种激进的措施，但它正试图解决一个极其严重的问题。在过去的几年里，偷猎者杀死了南非三分之二的犀牛。仅2014年一年，就有1215头南非犀牛被偷猎者杀害。每年花费数百万美元用于保护动物，但成效有限:去年有394人死亡。犀牛角在一些非法市场上非常受欢迎，每公斤售价高达10万美元)”可知，第二段主要讲了犀牛的处境很危险，故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”(现在最大的问题是，将这种物质注射到犀牛的角上，犀牛是否会感到疼痛或产生有害的副作用。澳大利亚核科学与技术组织(ANSTO)的科学家米齐·克莱因博士说：“这就是科学家们试图通过大量测试来解决的问题。”“最重要的是保护犀牛和它们周围的环境，不要伤害犀牛。”)”可知，根据克莱因博士的说法，为了检查注射是否会伤害犀牛，所以需要大量的测试。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn(卡斯特利博士强调，现在说是否会使用放射性物质还为时过早，克莱因博士同意，在他们找到一种将辐射安全放入犀牛角的方法之前，辐射不会接近任何犀牛)”可知，卡斯特利博士认为是否会使用放射性物质还为时过早，所以他是小心的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos to save the animals from poachers.(南非科学家已经开始研究有一天将放射性物质注射到犀牛角中，以从偷猎者手中拯救动物)”以及最后一段““We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,”(“我们需要保护犀牛，因为我们有永远失去它们的危险。如果我们能找到一种安全地将辐射放入犀角的方法，就可以结束偷猎，因为人们用犀角制药将不再安全，”)”可知，本文主要目的是介绍一种可能拯救犀牛的方法。故选B项。
D
My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. 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, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.
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 (设计原型). 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.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) 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.
That gave me the courage to keep going, 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. However, 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. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
12. According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true
A. He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother.
B. He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.
C. He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983.
D. The vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers as soon as it arrived on the market.
13. According to the article, Dyson’s bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers _______
A. in the carly 1980s
B. before he obtained a patent on the product
C. after his bank manager agreed to lend him $1 million
D. after he managed to get a S1 million loan
14. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
A. Dyson was a born businessman
B. Dyson's invention might have ended up in failure without his wife
C. Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
D. Dyson's vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers
15. According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson’s motto
A We are all failures — at least the best of us are.
B. The foundation stones for a success are honesty, faith, love and loyalty.
C. It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves.
D. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者发明真空吸尘器的故事告诉我们“只有在冒险中，一些人才能成功地了解了自己。”
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.“有一天，吸尘器尖叫着离开了，我不得不清空袋子，因为我找不到替代品。带着对这台机器工作方式的终生憎恨，我决定制造一个无袋吸尘器。”由此可知，“三十多岁时，他决定为妻子发明一种新型吸尘器。”的这一说法是错误的。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million.“然而，直到1993年，我的银行经理亲自说服劳埃德银行借给我100万美元，我才摆脱了财务困境。”由此可知，戴森的无袋吸尘器是在他设法获得了一笔一百三十万美元的贷款后才大量生产的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中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.“到了2627个原型时，我和妻子真的开始精打细算了。到了3727个时，我妻子开始上美术课赚外快，我们的债务越来越多。这是艰难的时刻，但每一次失败都让我离解决问题更近了一步。”由此可知，从文章中可以推断，没有戴森的妻子，戴森的发明可能会以失败告终。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.“今天，我仍然接受风险和潜在的失败作为过程的一部分。没有什么能比得上发明带来的兴奋。走出去，集思广益你的想法。你不受任何规则的约束——事实上，你的想法越陌生越冒险越好。”由此可知，“只有在冒险中，一些人才能成功地了解自己”可能是戴森的座右铭。故选C。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Failure is likely the most tiring experience one ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding. ____16____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. ____17____
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the most difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
____18____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconsciousness (无意识) take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. _____19_____One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. ____20____ In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.
A. My fatigue became almost unbearable.
B. I felt depressed and gave it up eventually.
C. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.
D. Use your unconsciousness and you can reduce your tiredness.
E. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.
F. The solution is not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.
G. Here are two ways of exhaustion ——start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.
【答案】16. G 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕失败、疲劳和成功的关系展开论述，以亲身经历为例提出措施如何解决启动疲劳和执行疲劳。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding.(没有什么比不成功更累的了)”和下文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult.(在前一种情况下，我们总是推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难)”可知，空格处应指出疲惫感分为两种情况，引出下文。选项G“Here are two ways of exhaustion ——start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.(由两种方式的疲劳：启动疲劳和执行疲劳)”指出了两种疲劳，符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. (在前一种情况下，我们不断推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难。拖延得越久，我们就越觉得累。这种创业疲劳是非常真实的，即使不是身体上的，也不是肌肉和骨骼上的。)”可推知，我们会因为拖延太无聊、太难的工作而感到疲惫不堪。选项F“The solution is not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.(这种解决方案是不容易采用的：总是先处理最困难的工作)”提出了一个解决这种情况的办法，即先处理最困难的事，符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again.”（虽然我们愿意开始，但似乎不能把工作做好。无论我们多么努力，它的困难都显得如此之大，以致于我们一次又一次地失败。）可知，此处讲述另一种疲劳——表现疲劳。选项C意为“Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.(表现疲劳更难处理。)”符合本段段意，故选C。
【19题详解】
上文“When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked.(在规划《大英百科全书》时，我必须根据文章的主题创建一个目录。日复一日，我不断想出解决办法，但没有一个奏效。)”讲述作者在做一项任务时，日复一日的想不出可行的办法，选项A “My fatigue became almost unbearable.( 我的疲劳几乎无法忍受。)”承接上文，总是想不出解决办法，让我疲惫不堪，故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.(一天，我精疲力尽，试着说服自己，麻烦出在问题本身，而不是我。我松了一口气，靠在安乐椅上睡着了。)”和下文“In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind and proved correct at every step.”（在接下来的几个星期里，在我的潜意识里想出了解决办法，而且每一步都证明是正确的。）可知，此空处讲述的作者睡着了，如释重负，醒来有了解决办法，选项E“An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.

【25题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意：事实上，所谓的肢体语言是我们生活中非常重要的一部分，以至于我们常常忽略了它。A. well好的；B. far远的；C. much许多的；D. long长的。肢体语言几乎已经成为我们的组成部分，以致常常被忽视。此处实际上是对“so much a(n)＋名词”的用法的考查。so much a part表示“如此重要的一部分”。四个选项中有此用法的只有much。故选C。
【26题详解】

【答案】Score and Ability
In China, students have to take many exams. They have to get a good mark to enter a better college.To some extent, the score decides a student’s future.
In my opinion, a score doesn’t mean everything. It just proves that the student is good at studying, not including his ability in other things. One of my classmates does well in the exams. He almost can get a full mark in each exam. However, he is weak in hand-work and even always fails to make some artwork.
Therefore a high score doesn’t mean overall ability. We should put our ability first as it makes us a better man.

Another person’s enthusiasm — the strong wish and interest to do everything, was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right into my eyes. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasn’t yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a friendship between us. No one had ever called me smart, my family and neighbors had built me up in my mind as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She persuaded my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county centre, where my father’s career could be more successful and my brother and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand typewriter and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her belief and began to write for local newspapers and finally reached the goal she set for me. I wasn’t the only beneficiary. My father became the wealthiest man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

South African scientists have started working toward one day injecting radioactive material into the horns of rhinos (将放射性物质注入犀牛角) to save the animals from poachers (偷猎者).
While using radioactive material sounds like a radical measure (激进措施), it is trying to deal with an extremely serious problem. Poachers have killed two-thirds of South Africa’s rhinos over the past years. In 2014 alone, 1,215 South African rhinos were killed by poachers. Millions of dollars are spent each year on protecting the animals, with limited success: last year 394 deaths were recorded. Rhino horns are highly popular in some illegal (非法的) markets, selling for up to $100,000 a kilogram.
The big question now is whether or not the rhinos will suffer any pain or experience harmful side effects as a result of injecting such material into their horns. “This is what scientists are trying to work out with a lot of testing,” said Dr Mitzi Klein, the Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation’s (ANSTO) scientist. “The most important thing is to protect the rhino and the environment around them, and not hurt the rhino one bit.”
Dr Guy Castley from Griffith University said that any injection into the horn itself won’t hurt because the horn is made up of a material called keratin, which is the same as human nails and hair. “The horn itself does not have any nerves or blood vessels (神经或血管) inside it. So it’s not likely to cause the rhino any discomfort or pain,” he said.
Dr Castley stressed that it’s too early to say if radioactive material will be used and Dr Klein agreed that radiation won’t come near any rhino until they discover a way to put the radiation safely in the horn “... so that it does not spread to the body or hurt anything in the environment.”
“We need to protect rhinos, because we’re in danger of losing them forever. If we can find a way to safely put radiation in the horns, it could end poaching, because it would no longer be safe for people to use horns to make medicine,” Dr Klein said. Sensors could also be used to pick up radioactive material in the horns, making it harder for poachers to send them to other countries.
8. What is the author mainly talking about in paragraph 2
A. Poaching is under effective control.
B. Rhinos are in a dangerous situation.
C. The protection of rhinos is rather costly.
D. Rhinos are very popular in South Africa.
9. According to Dr Klein, why is lots of testing needed
A. To find out what makes up rhino horns.
B. To decide which medicine is suitable for rhinos.
C. To examine whether the injection will harm rhinos.
D. To show that rhino horns are useless in treating illnesses.
10. What is Dr Castley’s attitude toward using radioactive material
A. Careful. B. Satisfied. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To report a research result on rhinos.
B. To introduce a possible way to save rhinos.
C. To stress the importance of stopping poaching.
D. To explain the ill effects of radioactive material.

My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. 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, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.
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 (设计原型). 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.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) 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.
That gave me the courage to keep going, 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. However, 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. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
12. According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true
A. He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother.
B. He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.
C. He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983.
D. The vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers as soon as it arrived on the market.
13. According to the article, Dyson’s bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers _______
A. in the carly 1980s
B. before he obtained a patent on the product
C. after his bank manager agreed to lend him $1 million
D. after he managed to get a S1 million loan
14. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
A. Dyson was a born businessman
B. Dyson's invention might have ended up in failure without his wife
C. Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
D. Dyson's vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers
15. According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson’s motto
A. We are all failures — at least the best of us are.
B. The foundation stones for a success are honesty, faith, love and loyalty.
C. It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves.
D. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid but he who conquers that fear.

Failure is likely the most tiring experience one ever has. There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding. ____16____
In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it was either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. ____17____
Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them alphabetically, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the most difficult task of essay-writing. The experience proved that the rule works.
____18____ Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can then let the unconsciousness (无意识) take over.
When planning Encyclopedia Britannica, I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Day after day, I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. _____19_____One day, mentally exhausted, I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. ____20____ In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.
