A
Born in Chengdu,Southwest China’s Sichuan Province,to a Canadian missionary family in 1915,Crook came into the world.While Isabel Crook’s parents were engaged in setting up schools and education institutions in Southwest China,Crook herself was more interested in anthropology(人类学) and the ethnic minority groups in China.She was very curious about what was going on around her.
At the age of 23,Crook graduated from a Canadian college with a master’s degree and began carrying out field research in Li County of Sichuan Province.In 1947,Crook and her journalist husband were warmly welcomed by the Communist Party of China(CPC) to observe and study the revolutionary land reform taking place in China.In 1948 the couple accepted an invitation from CPC leaders to teach at a newly-built foreign affairs school.The school was the forerunner of today’s Beijing Foreign Studies University(BFSU),which has seen over 400 ambassadors(大使) and 1,000 counsellors walk through its doors.As a teacher at BFSU she laid the foundations for foreign language education in China.
As two of the first three foreign teachers at the school,Isabel and David Crook brought new Western teaching methodologies to the classroom.Michael Crook noted that since some students were extremely poor during the 1950s and 1960s,his parents were especially sensitive to their situation and did what they could to help them while protecting their self-esteem.For example,they would bring food such as eggs and bread for picnics and share them with students who brought steamed corn bread.
According to the younger Crook,because of his parents’ belief in communism,they chose to use political texts as their teaching materials,such as works once admired by Karl Marx.Understanding that the students would become diplomats representing the People’s Republic of China,his parents tried to help students gain knowledge in different fields to better prepare them for communicating with foreigners in English.
On December 15th 2018,Isabel got the award of “the Most Influential Foreigner throughout 40 Years of China’s Development” from the Chinese government.On September 17, 2019,Isabel was awarded “the Friendship Medal” by the Chinese government for her lifetime of devotion to China.
1.What did Isabel Crook independently do
A.Teaching English.
B.Performing field research.
C.Helping the poor students.
D.Introducing new Western teaching ways to China.
2.Why did his parents use political texts as teaching materials according to the younger Crook
A.They themselves were crazy about Chinese politics.
B.They wanted to spread the spirits of Karl Marx.
C.They had to teach many objects including politics.
D.They believed in communism and wanted to prepare students for overall development.
3.What can we infer from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
A.In the 1950s,Crook’s husband worked as a reporter in China.
B.Isabel and her husband taught students only in Western teaching methods.
C.Isabel Crook made great contributions to China’s foreign language education.
D.Isabel Crook and her husband were very rich at that time.
4.Which of the following can best describe Isabel Crook
A.Caring. B.Patient.
C.Strict. D.Romantic.
B
A good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历)or CV.Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends’ “highlight part”.When we look at others’ resumes,we get scared and think how ours don’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.
“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 a website.
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.
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.
5.What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to
A.Plenty of failure.
B.A failure resume.
C.Highlight part.
D.Social media.
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 resume.
D.The difference between her resume and others’.
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.
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.
Ⅵ.七选五
(2023北京市昌平区高一上学期期末英语试题)
For many parents,it is not easy to ask for information from children about what they did at school all day. 1 But other times,they keep silence or respond with a single word.It doesn’t have to be so tough.With the right strategies,even the most silent child will open up. 2
Don’t ask “How was your day ”.
This question often leads to one-word answers or a shrug.For many children,the question is too general and they don’t want to think about how to answer it with specifics.
Share your own experiences.
3 Don’t shy away from sharing your challenging experiences.It will get the conversation started and help children understand their own emotions.Labeling that you are also having a stressful experience is a good chance to show them how they might do that.
4
Ask when your child feels disappointed,frustrated or sad,too.Asking children to share negative as well as positive emotions can help to surface problems in a more routine,less stressful way.
Avoid distractions.
Choose a time to talk when you’ll be able to listen to your child. 5 Children are less likely to reply with thoughtful answers when you’re not paying full attention.Full focus will help you ask follow-up questions,which are important to show interest.
A.Don’t rush to know everything.
B.Sometimes,kids are happy to chat.
C.Don’t expect only positive experiences.
D.Here’s how to get them to tell you about their day.
E.Put your phone down and avoid doing other chores.
F.One way is to ask children to retell what they learned in school.
G.Children may follow your lead if you share your own highlights and lowlights.

This kid was really something!
When he brought the bill,I said to the young man,“Hey,I want to get some 9 .Can you tell me where I can find the 10 Baskin-Robbins ”
“Baskin-Robbins is just a few blocks away,” he said as he gave me the exact 11 ,adding,“Don’t park out front-park around to the side so your car won’t get sideswiped.”
What a kid!
As I got to the ice cream store I ordered two milkshakes.Then I 12 back to the station.My young friend dashed out to 13 me.“Hey,I see you got your milkshakes.”
“Yes,and this one is for you!”
His mouth fell open.“For me ”

Born in a musical family in 1925 in New Orleans,Renald Richard spent his childhood filled with music.At the age of 13,he went to see a band perform at a church where he fell in love with trumpet.So,he started lessons on it,and later played it in the high school band.After high school,he was sent into military service and played his trumpet in the United States Navy Band.After ending up studying music at Xavier University of Louisiana,he played clubs on the famous Bourbon Street and also toured with many bands.
In 1954,Richard was approached by Jeff Brown,the manager of musician Ray Charles.He invited Richard to join Ray Charles’ new band.“To be selected by Ray Charles was an honor to me.Ray Charles was exacting,” said Richard,“He was a perfectionist and was rather demanding about his music.”
Renald Richard toured all over the South and West with Ray Charles.Sitting in the back seat of the car on the way to a concert,Richard wrote the song “I Got a Woman” for Charles,which became Ray Charles’ first number one radio hit.In 1954,Renald Richard left Ray Charles’ band.However,he stayed friendly with Ray Charles over the years.He became the high school’s band director in his hometown until 1962.Four years later,he moved again to New York City.Over the years,Richard has written many other songs that have been recorded by artists including Joe Turner,the Beatles,the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley to name a few.Living now in Southern Florida,Richard is still active at the age of 92.As you can see,Renald Richard’s musical days are by no means near an end.

After years of observing human nature,I have decided that two qualities that make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance are curiosity and discontent.I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either.And I have never known an average man who had both.The two belong together.
Together,these deep human urges(驱策力) count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground.Like Galileo,all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent,“Why Why Why ”
Fortunately,curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned.We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius(孟子),“is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it.We stop asking questions.We stop challenging custom.We just follow the crowd.And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average.It encourages us to occupy our own little corner,to avoid foolish leaps into the dark,and to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people,and new ideas,with hesitation.But once having met and liked them,we think how terrible it would have been,had we missed the chance.We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start Modestly,so as not to become discouraged.I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself.She was curious about how the experts did it.Now she is one of the experts,writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses.You don’t have any special ability Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses.You don’t have any time That’s good,because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.Harriet Stowe,mother of six,wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking.You’re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel,and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
Whenever you start,remember there is no better time to start than right now,for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
5.In writing paragraph 1,the author aims to .
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion D.present an argument
6.What does the example of Galileo tell us
A.Trial and error lead to the finding of truth.
B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C.Creativity results from challenging authority.
D.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
7.What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent
A.Observe the unknown around you.
B.Develop a questioning mind.
C.Lead a life of adventure.
D.Follow the fashion.
8.What could be the best title for the passage
A.Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B.Reflections on Human Nature
C.The Keys to Achievement
D.Never Too Late to Learn
C
I must have looked deep in thought,or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can,when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask,“You have something on your mind,don’t you ”
“Yes,I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero,Eric Heiden.I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”
I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face.“Johann,of course!You can do anything you want to do!” she said simply.And with my grandmother’s support,I set out to pursue my passions.
14 years later,I was well ready to take hold of my first dream:becoming an Olympic champion.The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country,Norway.As I entered the Olympic stadium,I wasn’t the best athlete,and many had doubts about my ability to perform well.But I had something special working for me.I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did.For the first time ever,my grandmother was going to see me skate.
It happened.Breaking a world record,I won the gold.
As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life,a curious question popped into my head.Why me Why did I win,given all the other incredible competitors out there The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson’s dream.The question led me to only one answer:Because I wanted to make a difference in the world,and with all the media attention on my success,I could.
I immediately knew what that difference had to be:hope in the lives of the children in Africa.Six months earlier,I’d been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.

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。
I wouldn’t have achieved any success in writing without my grandma and my husband’s encouragement.
The summer I turned 11 I spent two weeks with my grandparents.There were no other kids in the neighbourhood.I was afraid I would die of boredom.I missed my friends back in my hometown,and missed riding my bike everywhere.I even missed my brother and sister.
One afternoon Grandma was in the kitchen.“When’s Grandpa coming home ” I asked.Maybe he’d take us for a ride out.
“He’s out of town for a meeting and won’t be home till tomorrow.” She opened the door and the heat came out.
“I’m bored,” I said.“There’s nothing to do here.”
“Oh,there’s plenty to do,” she said.“You just have to use your imagination.”
Oh,I had an imagination all right.At night I’d call to Grandma from the guest room,terrified that I heard a noise in the closet or saw a face at the window.“There’s no one here but us,” Grandma would say,rubbing my back until I fell asleep.
It’s too bad that imagination deserted me in the daytime.“I can’t think of anything,” I said.
“How about a little trip ” she asked.
We walked along the brick sidewalks.We crossed the street.I saw the movie theatre.My heart began to race.I loved movies!But,no,Grandma walked right past the theatre.“Here we are,” she said,stopping in front of a store.“I thought you might like to go to Switzerland.”
“But this is a bookstore,” I said.Had the heat gone to Grandma’s head
She pushed open the glass door,nodded to the sales clerk and walked to the children’s section.Her fingers danced along the covers of the books until they came to a thick volume bound in brown cloth.She pulled it off the shelf and handed it to me.
“Here you go.It’s one ticket to the snow-covered Alps,Switzerland.”
I looked at the title.“Heidi ” I’d never heard of it.“Is it any good ”
“There’s only one way to find out.It’s about a girl who goes to stay with her grandfather (like you)!”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。

Good evening,everyone!
I am Li Hua.My dream is to be a writer.A writer is a transmitter of ideas,a critic of morality,and a positive energy that awakens people.I dream of one day being able to write a heart-pounding text that locks all my joys and sorrows.One day I will become a writer like Mo Yan and win the Nobel Prize for literature,winning honour for our country.In order to realize my dream,I must insist on writing,study hard and be admitted to my ideal university,which will lay a solid foundation for realizing my dream of being a writer.I believe that as long as I don’t give up,my dream will come true.
That’s all.Thank you for your listening.
Ⅶ.Back at the apartment Grandma lay down for a nap.I sat in Grandpa’s armchair and opened the book.How right Grandma was!I was absorbed in the girl in the snow-covered Alps.She learns to love reading (like me)!Wasn’t that exactly what had happened to me She had heard my plea.She had changed my imagination from my fears to my best dreams.That book opened a whole new world,a world I’ve delighted in exploring.I began to love reading and I have got into the habit of reading a lot from then on.I’m always reading something,recommending something.
Twenty years ago my husband said,“You love books so much.Why don’t you write your own ” I did.And I’ve kept at it.So far,I’ve had more than 20 books published.Just like Grandma showed me that long-ago summer,there’s plenty to do.I just have to use my imagination.UNIT 2分层跟踪检测(二)LESSON 2 & LESSON 3

Powell didn’t know how the baby squirrel got injured,but she thought a nearby street cat was the culprit(肇事者).So,the group of rescuers decided to move the squirrels to a safer area.“We were able to get the baby and mother to a different area with more trees and it was able to climb all the way up and they looked very happy,” Powell said.

Ⅵ.七选五
1 .When we meet with something we’re not familiar with or something frightening,our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown.Dr.Kerr says,“For some people,choosing to be scared can be fun.”
What good is fear
2 .It tells a person to hide,run away,or defend oneself.Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they are ready when they are needed.Stress chemicals can make a person more alert.
Our memories also help protect us.We keep a close eye on babies because they don’t understand what might hurt them.As babies grow,they learn what’s unsafe,and their brains store those memories.Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangers.“We don’t want to be fearless,”Dr.Kerr says.“ 3 !”
Too much can be harmful
Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things.We’re born with the ability to feel fear,but a lot of what we’re afraid of is learned.
“Being afraid doesn’t mean you’re weak,” Dr.Kerr says.A long-lasting fear can mean you’ve had a bad experience,and your brain doesn’t want you to have it again. 4 .Other people may have no special fear of dogs but may be afraid of other things,such as heights,snakes,or spiders.
How to feel less afraid
Many people have beat their own fears.Here is one method:Instead of listening to their imagination,they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. 5 .
Dr.Kerr grew up on a farm.As a seven-year-old,she was scared of black bears in the woods.Later,she read about them.“Understanding the facts gave me a sense of confidence,”she says.“I knew for sure what to do if I ever met with a bear and how to protect myself.”
A.Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid
B.Being scared is not always a bad thing
C.Fear is a tool that the brain uses to keep the body safe
D.That is why our brain works faster in time of danger
E.It is good to have a healthy sense of what’s dangerous
F.Some people are scared to death by his own shadow at night
G.If a dog bit someone,that person might feel afraid of all dogs
