“I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning.
12. What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs
A. She liked taking tests.
B. She was afraid of failures.
C. She often failed in study.
D. She knew how to be perfect.
13. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking
A Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience.
14. Why did the author feel excited after the running test
A. Because she could work out regularly.
B. Because she received honey as a reward.
C. Because she got another chance to take the test.
D. Because she achieved success after many failures.
15. The author wrote this passage________.
A. to show the negative effects of failures
B. to point out her best friends fear of failures
C to encourage the readers to face failures bravely
D. to introduce different types of failures

“What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass,” said the third student Martin.

【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. D 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种提高英语口语能力的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文提到“Do you want to improve your spoken English (你想要提高你的英语口语吗？)”结合下文具体介绍了几种方法。由此推知，设空处句子应该起承上启下的作用，引出下文话题。F项“下面是四个给你的小窍门”符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops” repeatedly.(例如，重复说“我去了商店，我去了商店”)”和下文“Then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.(下次你说的时候，它自然就出来了)”可推知，设空处应陈述你说得越多，对它的印象就越深刻。E项“你说的越多，它就越能刻在你的脑子里”符合语境，选项中的it指代上文提到的“I went to the shops”。故选E。
【18题详解】
分析段落结构可知，设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“First, write out in note form (笔记形式)the story you want to tell, and then use those notes to practise telling the story.(首先，以笔记的形式写下你想讲的故事，然后用这些笔记来练习讲故事)”可知，本段的建议为 “练习讲故事”。A项“练习讲故事”可以作为本段小标题，telling stories是关键词。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的建议“Memorize language!(记语言)”可知，D项“尽可能多记一些短语和表达”符合语境，选项中的remember呼应小标题中的memorize，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question. For example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ”(看一个句子，看看你是否能把它变成一个问题。例如，当看到“She’s seen the film”这个句子时，你需要把它变成这个问题，“Has She seen the film ”)”以及后文“But the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.(但是你这样做得越多，你提问就会越流利、越快)”可推知，设空处应陈述如果不练习，变疑问句会很困难。B项“如果你从来不练习，变疑问句就非常困难”符合语境。故选B项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One morning in spring four students were walking to school.
There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dropping from the trees, and the grass was wet.
The four students walked along, one behind another, because the pathway was narrow (狭窄的) and the mud (泥) on either side of it was deep. They walked, talked and laughed.
As they were passing through some small trees, they heard a great fluttering (拍翅膀) over their heads and a weak chirping (鸣叫) in the grass by the roadside.
“Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!” came from the leafy branches above them.“Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!” came from the wet grass.
“What is the matter here ” asked the first student, whose name was Speed. “Oh, there are two young birds. Maybe the storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, ” said the second student, whose name was Hardin.
“What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass,” said the third student Martin.
“Oh, well! We still need to hurry to school. We're going to be late,” said Speed. “Why should we bother ” After Speed's words, the first three students walked on, talking and laughing as before.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

All were surprised to find that David was not with them when the roll call (点名) was made.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But the fourth student, whose name was David, stopped. He bent down and very gently took the little ones up in his warm hands. “Never mind, my little fellows, ” said David. “I will put you in your own cozy little bed.” Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. It was high, much higher than he could reach. But David could climb. He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy. He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm little home. At this time, the first three students had already reached school.
All were surprised to find that David was not with them when the roll call (点名) was made. Just when the teacher was to be angry, Hardin explained, “We met two fallen birds on our way to school. Very likely David has stopped to take care of them.” In a few minutes, David appeared at the door of the classroom out of breath. His shoes were covered with mud, and he had torn his coat on the thorny tree. Just as he was about to accept the teacher's criticism, to his surprise, all the students sang the song Hero with the “Tweet! Tweet! ” and “Cheep! Cheep!” sound from the birds outside the classroom.
