Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper.There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway.There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone,but not anymore.Not for a long time.
My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers,as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16.Even before that,he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.

Recently,we were in a Chicago park with our grandchildren.My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm.He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him.A young girl walked over,looked at the newspaper,picked it up and asked,“What’s this ”
I thought he was going to fall over.The colour faded from his face.His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out.I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose.The smells from the ink woke him up.

Some people simply love paper—the feel,the portability,and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries,“Enough!” My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us,they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day.It’s hard to do a crossword online.Pencil doesn’t come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.

Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print.I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper.I asked why she did something so conservatively.She looked shocked.“Because it’s print!” she said.“I love print!When the paper didn’t come one day,would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said,‘Why don’t you just subscribe to the online version ’” She shook her head in disbelief.
My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will.I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.

主题语境:人与自我 语篇类型:议论文
A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resumé(简历) or CV.Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends’ “highlight part”.When we look at others’ resumés,we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up.But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it.
Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist,so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀) about her good grades,PhD,and published papers.But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could all do.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed,my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications,or the papers never accepted for publication.During the interviews,I talk about the one project that worked,not about the many that failed,” writes Stefan in a column for Nature.
Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log,casually but regularly, every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper.
And that’s the point:not to consider what we got wrong,but to use that information to both look at failure and realize it’s really okay,and also to use our failures for another purpose:as learning tools.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works. Being real means taking an honest,critical,but also kind look at what we didn’t get right,and then doing our best to change what we can.Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel,take the time to step back and analyze the practical,operational reasons that you failed.
So,practice being okay with failure,and turning your failures into lessons learned.And yes,sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once, letting go of what you can’t change.And keep moving forward to success.

Ⅳ
5.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A.Plenty of failure.
B.A failure resumé.
C.Highlight part.
D.Social media.
A
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them”可知,即使是最有成就的人背后也经历很多失败。分析句子可知,破折号是对上文的解释说明,画线词所在句说的是“我们只是看不到它”,因此推断it指代上文提到的plenty of failure。故选A项。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
6.What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3
A.All her failures in her career.
B.Benefits she got from her failures.
C.The content of her own resumé.
D.The difference between her resumé and others’.
C
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知,本段讲述的是Stefan在《自然》杂志专栏中写的东西——她的简历没有反映她在学术上的巨大努力——它没有提到她不及格的考试,她不成功的博士或奖学金申请,或者从未被接受出版的论文。在面试中,她谈到了一个有效的项目,而不是许多失败的项目。因此可知,第三段中Stefan的目的是告诉我们她的简历内容。故选C项。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
7.What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers
A.Regard failures as part of our life.
B.Keep a record of our failures.
C.Value our achievements.
D.Long for failures.
B
细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,Stefan建议保留一份你可以随意但定期登录的草稿、每一个不成功的申请、被拒绝了的拨款提议以及被拒绝的论文。这些都是我们失败的记录。故选B项。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
8.Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion
A.No pains,no gains.
B.All roads lead to Rome.
C.Where there is a will,there is a way.
D.Failure is the mother of success.
D
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,对失败保持好的态度,把你的失败变成经验教训。有时我们必须不止一次地吸取这些教训,放弃你无法改变的东西。继续前进,走向成功。因此推断,作者认为失败是成功之母。故选D项。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。西班牙加那利群岛的老昆布雷火山喷发时,身为记者的作者被困火山岛,得到当地人帮助,体验到危机面前人性的光辉。
1.A 根据上文“I longed to be swept away to a tropical island.”和下文“I quickly realized that there was nothing romantic about volcanoes—even on an island.”可知,作者之前渴望被送到岛上去,但当自己被困火山岛时,作者发现这并不浪漫。discover强调“发现原来就存在的东西”而find强调“找到寻找的结果”,根据句意,find更加符合题意。故选A项。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
2.D 根据上文“I had come prepared—an N95 mask,and a baseball cap my Spanish mother-in-law lent me.”和下文“It fell from the sky like a rainstorm, lining streets,covering doorways,and filling the splits of my ears.”可知,作者做了很多准备工作,但是还是没有能抵抗住火山灰的入侵。
3.C 根据上文“But as I myself in La Palma reporting on the Cumbre Vieja eruption in the Spanish Canary Islands”可知,作者正在报道一次火山喷发,所以此处应该是“火山灰”。
4.B 根据下文“When tourists began panic—buying all the boat tickets”可知,航班取消了,人们开始购买船票。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
5.D 根据上文“But as I myself in La Palma reporting on the Cumbre Vieja eruption in the Spanish Canary Islands”可知,作者是作为一名记者来报道火山喷发,所以此处应该是采访居民。
6.C 根据上文“When tourists began panic—buying all the boat tickets”可知,这里的游客们都逃走了,所以街道上空空荡荡的。
7.A 根据上文“I realized I had,indeed,missed the boat”和本句可知,作者错过了船票,一直还在等待离开的机会,可以推测作者的内心是惊慌的。
8.B 根据下文“Here I was experiencing,although in much lesser ,what the people were feeling”可知,作者体会到了当地人的感受,所以这是一个更加深入了解当地人的机会。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
9.D 根据“Here I was experiencing...what the people were feeling”可知,作者正在体会当地人的感受。但上文出现了although,表示让步,由此可知,作者并没有当地人的感受深刻。
10.C 此处与and后的frustration是并列关系,两者应该在感彩和形式上保持一致;且根据上文可知,老昆布雷火山喷发了,所以生活在火山附近,火山随时可能爆发,这将带来极大的不确定性。
11.A with no end in sight意为“看不到尽头”。
12.C 根据下文“from the English woman who gave me a bag of oranges from her garden to the minister of the church that let me use the bathroom after being at the top of a mountain”可知,有两位当地人帮助了作者,作者依靠他们的帮助才渡过难关。count on“依靠”。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
13.D 根据上文“I on others to get me through”和“the minister of the church that let me use the bathroom”可知,作者遇到了困难,牧师让作者使用了卫生间,因此可以推测,作者是被困在了山上。
14.A 根据上文“from the English woman who gave me a bag of oranges from her garden to the minister of the church that let me use the bathroom after being at the top of a mountain”可知,作者得到了他们的帮助,所以心存感激。
15.B 根据上文“I was to have experienced the humanity of the people in La Palma in the face of crisis”可知,第一个“it”指代“当地人在危险面前闪耀的人性光辉”,所以此处表达的含义为“当地人的人性光辉会让他们渡过难关”。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者曾多次到访中国,非常喜欢中国的美食,但作者可能无法再次来到中国,因此表达了对中国美食的怀念。
1.pleasure 考查名词。空处作介词for的宾语,应用名词;please的名词形式pleasure(玩乐),是不可数名词。故填pleasure。
2.ranging 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词had,此处应用非谓语动词形式;且range与逻辑主语restaurants之间为主谓关系,所以此处用现在分词作定语。故填ranging。
3.What 考查名词性从句。分析句子并结合句意可知,空处引导一个主语从句,且从句缺少宾语;结合句意可知,此处表示“怀念的东西”,应用代词what指代作者怀念的东西,引导该从句;注意首字母大写。故填What。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
4.larger 考查比较级。根据a little 和than可知,此处应用形容词比较级,故填larger。
5.to cook 考查非谓语动词。根据went on可知,此处应用动词不定式。go on to do sth表示“继续做某事”,为固定搭配。故填to cook。
6.over 考查副词。根据句意和常识可知,煎饼需要翻转。此处表示“翻转”,应用介词over。短语turn over(翻转)为固定搭配。故填over。
7.chopped 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词would be spread,故此处应用非谓语动词形式;由句意可知,chop与修饰词onions之间为动宾关系,所以应用过去分词形式作定语表示被动,故填chopped。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
8.was served 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,空处为句子的谓语。根据语境可知,此处描述的事情发生在过去,用一般过去时;serve与主语The whole thing之间为动宾关系,所以此处用一般过去时的被动语态;主语The whole thing为单数,谓语动词应用单数形式。故填was served。
9.absolutely 考查副词。由句意可知,此处修饰形容词delicious,应用副词,故填absolutely。
10.so/and 考查并列连词。分析句子并结合句意可知,上下文为并列关系,表示递进或因果关系,应用so或and连接两个句子。故填so或and。(共47张PPT)

Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller. Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings,and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings. A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you,your fellow travellers and the local friends you’ve made.

Ⅳ
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture,and an explanation of what you think these things are all about. Look back on these lists later in the trip;what seemed strange before is probably familiar now,and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves!Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience.How would you describe your experience to the later travellers What travel advice would you offer

At the beginning of my 8:00 am class one Monday at my college,I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been.One young man said that his weekend had not been very good.He then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before:“Every morning when you get up,you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day.” I said to the young man,“I choose to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example,” I continued.

The other 60 students in the class ceased their chatter and began to listen to our conversation.
As soon as I got to my office,I called to ask for a tow truck(拖车).The secretary in the office asked me what had happened.“This is my lucky day,” I replied,smiling.“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day ” She was puzzled.“What do you mean ”

“I live 17 miles from here,” I replied.“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway.It didn’t.Instead,it broke down in the perfect place:off the freeway,within walking distance of here.I’m still able to teach my class,and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.If my car was meant to break down today,it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.” The secretary’s eyes opened wide,and then she smiled.I smiled back and headed for class.So ended my story to the students in my economics class.

I scanned the 61 faces in the lecture hall.Despite the early hour,no one seemed to be asleep.Somehow,my story had touched them.Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all.In fact,it had all started with a student’s observation that I was cheerful.A wise man once said,“Who you are speaks louder to me than anything you can say.” I suppose it must be so.

Dr.Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September.It is the largest study of humour.Participants (参加者) are invited to log on to the laugh lab website,give a few personal details,tell their favourite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.
Ⅰ

The project will last for a year,and the organisers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke.But there is also a serious purpose.The researchers want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny.And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humour.The idea is that if we want to understand each other,we have to find out what makes us laugh.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
This is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time,people are not completely honest.We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want.But laughing cannot be controlled.When we laugh,we tell the truth about ourselves.By December over 10,000 jokes had been submitted (递交).This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions.It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour,for instance.
“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humour,” said Dr.Wiseman.“Males use humour to appear superior to others,while women are more skilled in languages and prefer wordplay.” Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour.The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humour”.But the French like their jokes short and sharp:“You’re a high priced lawyer.Will you answer two questions for $500 ” “Yes.What’s the second question ”
Ⅰ

The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour.But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality.Perhaps that proves the point.Is this joke funny I don’t know,but let’s say yes,just to be safe.
Dr.Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computers.But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing.Perhaps this is puters already seem like they can do everything.At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.

Reading books can obviously make you a better,smarter entrepreneur. According to a 2018 study of over 160,000 adults in 31 countries,the more books that were present in participants’ childhood homes,the more competent they now are as adults with skills in literacy,mathematics,and technological problem-solving.Researchers note that book-oriented socialization,indicated by home library size,equips youth with lifelong tastes,skill and knowledge.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Growing up with home libraries boosts adult skills in literacy,numeracy and technological problem-solving beyond the benefits acquired from parental education or your own educational or occupational attainment.Kids who grow up in a home where reading is valued and modeled are more likely to be good readers.Strangely enough,though,advanced education doesn’t necessarily offset the “lots of books in the home” advantage.Adults who grew up with relatively few books in their homes and later earned a college degree had literacy levels approximately equal to adults who grew up in homes with large libraries but only attended school for nine years.

Jessica Stillman writes,surrounding yourself with more books than you could ever read says good things about your mind.Those books serve as a constant reminder of all the things you don’t know—which helps keep you intellectually hungry and curious.And possibly,this will keep you a little more modest,since research shows the quicker you are to admit you don’t know something,the faster you can then learn it.As Jeff Bezos says,a key sign of intelligence is the willingness to change your mind,something that only happens if you’re willing to admit that your current thinking may not be the best thinking.Modesty,learning and the willingness to change your mind when new data presents itself: That’s another three bonuses every entrepreneur can benefit from.

词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Adults who grew up with relatively few books in their homes and later earned a college degree had literacy levels approximately equal to adults who grew up in homes with large libraries but only attended school for nine years.”可知,那些在家中书籍相对较少的环境中长大、后来获得大学学位的成年人,其文化水平与那些在拥有大量图书的家庭中长大、但只上了九年学的成年人大致相当。由此可见,高等教育并不一定能弥补“家里有很多书”的优势。故画线词意思是“弥补”。故选D项。

推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Jessica Stillman writes,surrounding yourself with more books than you could ever read says good things about your mind.Those books serve as a constant reminder of all the things you don’t know—which helps keep you intellectually hungry and curious.And possibly,this will keep you a little more modest,since research shows the quicker you are to admit you don’t know something,the faster you can then learn it.(杰西卡·斯蒂尔曼写道,让自己置身于你读不完的书之中,这说明你的思想很好。那些书会不断提醒你还有什么东西是你不知道的——这有助于你保持求知欲和好奇心。这可能会让你更谦虚一点,因为研究表明,你越快承认自己不知道某件事,你就能越快地学会它。)”可推知,作者提到杰西卡是为了强调谦虚的重要性。故选B项。

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是中国的平遥古城的发展历史、特色以及对它的保护。
1.consists 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时;主语It是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数consists。故填consists。
2.impressive 考查形容词。空格处修饰名词architectures,用形容词作定语,故填impressive。
3.dynasties 考查名词复数。由“the Ming and Qing”可知,空格处用复数dynasties。
4.the 考查冠词。此处特指“接下来的几百年”,故填the。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
5.highest 考查比较等级。根据语境可知,句子表示“它的城墙是‘三宝’中最高的”,空格处用最高级,故填highest。
6.traditionally 考查副词。空格处修饰动词considered,应用副词形式,故填traditionally。
7.that 考查同位语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导的是同位语从句,从句中不缺成分,且意思完整,因此空格处用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。
8.but/yet 考查连词。由前面的“Pingyao is no longer very prosperous”和后面的“stands the test of time”可知,前后文是转折关系,故填but或yet。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
9.Wandering 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句中谓语是“can still sense”,空格处用非谓语动词;主语you和wander之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词,表示主动;位于句首,首字母大写。故填Wandering。
10.has become 考查时态和主谓一致。由Since可知,句子时态用现在完成时;主语Pingyao是单数,因此空格处用has become。故填has become。
