The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3. What do the listed stadiums have in common
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最大的体育场。目前这些体育场仍在运行并且还在承办大型体育赛事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.(然而，与这座城市容纳了25万人的大竞技场相比，这只是小巫见大巫。)”可知，Circus Maximus的可以容纳250,000人。故选D项。

Opened October 7, 1922.(美国俄亥俄州哥伦布市俄亥俄体育场，容纳人数：104,944人。1922年10月7日开业。)”可知Ohio Stadium在1922年10月7日开业；由最后一段“Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927. （密歇根体育场，美国密歇根州安阿伯市，容量: 107,601人，开业日期: 1927年10月1日。）可知Michigan Stadium的开业时间是1927年10月1日；由文中最后一段“Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960. （美国宾夕法尼亚州立大学海狸体育馆，可容纳106,572人。开放时间: 1960年9月17日。）可知Beaver Stadium的开业时间是1960年9月17日；最后一段“Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.（凯尔菲尔德，学院站，得克萨斯州，容量: 102,512。开放时间: 1927年9月24日。）”可知Kyle Field的开业时间是1927年9月24日；通过对比，Ohio Stadium的开业时间最久远，是最老的体育场。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport. (所有这些体育场馆仍在使用，仍在开放，仍在举办世界上最大的体育赛事。)”可知，这些体育馆都还在承办大型的体育赛事，这是他们的共同点。故选A项。

High school often serves to prepare students for a college education, or it might be the last stop on the educational journey for some people. No matter which path one may select, high school life offers students the opportunities to achieve a great deal of learning, get to know themselves, or simply have fun.
In America, high school is a special experience with a culture of its own. Public high schools exist in all communities. Every community in the United States has a public school system, teaching children at primary and secondary levels. These schools are free and supported mainly by taxes, with additional aid from states and governments. Private high schools are a choice for parents who want to give their child a better education. They are often very expensive. Private schools are usually famous for their academic reputation (学术声望). This academic reputation is related to college preparation.
In high school, students study various academic subjects such as English, literature, foreign languages, maths, science, history, geography and so on. Some large high schools have classes that teach job-related subjects like auto mechanics, cooking and others, in order to provide students with skills needed for certain jobs. High school might also offer “honours classes” for particularly smart and sharp students.
Some states give basic skills exams during the last year of the high school process to make sure that certain academic standards are met, but, again, high school curricula (课程) vary greatly among communities.
High school sports, particularly basketball and football, are often organised. Inter-city and cross-town competitions are often held. These competitions are popular, especially in communities that do not have their own professional sports teams. Nearly all high school teams have nicknames: the Knights and the Tigers being some famous examples.
4. Which of the following is not the supporting source of public school
A. Taxes. B. States.
C. Community. D. Governments.
5. Which of the following statements is true about private schools in the United States
A. Private schools are a better choice for parents than public schools.
B. All private high schools in the United States are very expensive.
C. Private schools can usually provide better college preparation.
D. There is a private school system in every community.
6. What does the author say about American high schools
A. Some schools have special classes for smart students.
B. Some states set academic standards in the first year.
C. Sports competitions are only in the city or town.
D. All communities have their own professional sports teams.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Life in the USA
B. Education in the USA
C. Public Schools and Private Schools in the USA
D. High Schools in the USA
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了美国的高中，包括公立高中和私立高中，高中教授的课程、考试及体育活动等内容。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Every community in the United States has a public school system, teaching children at primary and secondary levels. These schools are free and supported mainly by taxes, with additional aid from states and governments.”（美国的每个社区都有一个公立学校系统，教小学和中学的孩子。这些学校是免费的，主要由税收支持，并得到各州和政府的额外援助。）可知，公立学校是免费的，主要的资助来源于税收、各州和政府的额外援助，Community意为“社区”，文章并没有提到它对公立学校的资助。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Private high schools are a choice for parents who want to give their child a better education.”（私立高中是想让孩子接受更好教育的父母的选择。）和“Private schools are usually famous for their academic reputation (学术声望). This academic reputation is related to college preparation.”（私立学校通常以其学术声望而闻名。这种学术声望与大学准备有关。）可知，私立学校可以让孩子接受更好的教育，能够为大学做更好的准备。有此可推断出，私立学校通常可以提供更好的大学准备。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“High school might also offer “honours classes” for particularly smart and sharp students.”（高中也可以为特别聪明和出色的学生提供“荣誉课程”。）可知，在美国的高中，针对特别聪明的学生提供荣誉课程。由此可推断出，有些学校为聪明的学生开设了专门的课程。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了美国的高中，包括公立高中和私立高中，高中教授的课程、考试及体育活动等内容，“High Schools in the USA”意为“美国的高中”，能够概括文章的主要内容。Life in the USA（美国的生活）与文章的主要内容不符，Education in the USA（美国的教育）太笼统，本文只涉及到了高中教育，Public Schools and Private Schools in the USA（美国的公立学校和私立学校）太片面，只是文章内容的一部分。故选D项。
C
Life is hard－even harder than anyone thought it would be. When you were younger, you dreamed of the world being your playground, and you were told that you could do anything and be anyone you wanted. Somehow, though, things haven’t been the smooth sailing that you wanted them to be. The world seems to go against you, and the last thing you want to hear is “Cheer up!”
Still, there’s a couple of things you might not notice about your situation. Next time you’re down, maybe the following will provide motivation.
Firstly, not everything is bad. It’s a well-accepted fact that bad news makes for sensational (极好的) television ratings. The fact is that something negative catches a lot more attention than something positive, and that’s because it’s easy to see things in a negative light. However, that shouldn’t distract you from the bigger picture.
Resist the tunnel vision that results from constant negativity. Remember that even though there’s lots of really nasty stuff going on, you’re surrounded by some pretty awesome stuff as well.
You should also remember other people aren’t you. No one likes being compared to another person. What makes it even worse, if that’s even possible, is when you do it to yourself.
Stop comparing yourself to another person and you’ll realize that you’re much more awesome than you give yourself credit for.
Lastly, failure isn’t where the game stops. So you tried something new, but you didn’t follow through. Frustrated at yourself, you stop trying. As a result, your quality of life goes down terribly. You’ve given up on it, though, because you don’t see the point (since you failed the first time).
Now, you’re an adult. The things you are trying are much more complicated than five-year-old you. However, your behaviour shouldn’t change in the slightest－when you fail in something, that’s just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesn’t work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out. Giving up is for losers, and you sure aren’t one of those.
8. The author mentioned bad news in order to show that .
A bad news makes people see things in a negative light
B. bad news is more likely to catch people’s eyes
C. bad news attracts people to see positive things
D. bad news has a negative effect on television ratings
9. What does the underlined part “nasty stuff” in Para. 4 probably mean
A. Unstable emotions. B. Important events.
C. Amazing incidents . D. Something unpleasant.
10. How should we view failure according to the passage
A. We will change our behaviour.
B. We will keep trying the old method.
C. We should learn from failure.
D. We should think in a more complicated way.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. It inspires us to learn from negative experiences.
B. It compares negative and positive experiences.
C. It criticizes those who are affected by bad experiences.
D. It discusses how negative experiences affect others.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为我们面对不好的事情不应该沮丧或放弃，而是应该把这当作学习的机会。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The fact is that something negative catches a lot more attention than something positive, and that’s because it’s easy to see things in a negative light.(事实是，消极的东西比积极的东西吸引更多的注意力，这是因为人们很容易从消极的角度看待事物。)”可知，作者提到坏消息是为了说明坏消息更容易吸引人们的眼球。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第二句中的“you’re surrounded by some pretty awesome stuff as well(你周围也有很多很棒的东西)”和even though可知，此处是指即使有很多让人不愉快的事情，所以nasty stuff意为“让人不愉快的事情”。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段第三句到第六句“However, your behaviour shouldn’t change in the slightest－when you fail in something, that’s just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesn’t work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out.(然而，你的行为不应该有丝毫改变——当你在某件事上失败时，这只是给你的数据库增加更多信息。你知道了那个方法不管用，那就试试另一个吧！再来一个！就这样做，直到你弄清楚为止。)”可知，我们应该从失败中学习。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Still, there’s a couple of things you might not notice about your situation. Next time you’re down, maybe the following will provide motivation.(不过，在你的处境中，有几件事你可能没有注意到。下次你沮丧的时候，也许下面的建议会给你动力。)”，第三段第一句“Firstly, not everything is bad(首先，并非所有事情都是坏的)”，最后一句“However, that shouldn’t distract you from the bigger picture.(然而，这不应该分散你对大局的关注。)”和最后一段“Now, you’re an adult. The things you are trying are much more complicated than five-year-old you. However, your behaviour shouldn’t change in the slightest－when you fail in something, that’s just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesn’t work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out. Giving up is for losers, and you sure aren’t one of those.(现在，你是成年人了。你正在尝试的事情比5岁的你要复杂得多。然而，你的行为不应该有丝毫改变——当你在某件事上失败时，这只是给你的数据库增加更多信息。你知道了那个方法不管用，那就试试另一个吧！再来一个！就这样做，直到你弄清楚为止。只有失败者才会放弃，而你肯定不是那种人。)”可知，文章主要是为了激励我们从消极的经历中学习。故选A。
D
I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me ” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things—and I will, too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer (祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者用自己的摩托车载了残疾女孩一程，女孩因此对人生感到有了希望。
【12题详解】

【答案】36. a 37. confusing
38. challenges
39. fluently
40. recommended
41. at 42. to join
43. it 44. prepared
es
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为新生在学校的生活。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：我是Adam，一所高中的高一新生。此处泛指“一位”高一新生，freshman是可数名词并且是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此其前使用不定冠词a，故填a。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：第一周有点令人困惑。空处应填一个形容词作表语。confuse有两个形容词：confused和confusing。~ing 形容词经常修饰事物，意思是“令人怎么样的”，~ed形容词经常修饰人或者人的表情及反应等，意思是“人感觉如何”。主语是“The first week”，指物，所以填confusing，指“令人困惑的”，故填confusing。
【38题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在新的学校生活中有一些我不得不面对的挑战。challenge是可数名词，根据空前的some可知，此处应使用复数形式，故填challenges。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：汉语很难学，但我希望我毕业时能流利地讲汉语。空处修饰动词speak，应用副词形式，故填fluently。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：我的导师推荐我报名高级文学，因为我在这方面做得好。该句表示的是过去的事情，所以使用一般过去时，故填recommended。
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：我的导师推荐我报名高级文学，因为我在这方面做得好。因为“我擅长高级文学”，老师才推荐我报名，因此使用短语be good at，故填at。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管起初我做的不好，但是我还是努力加入学校的足球队。try to do： 尽力去做某事，努力想达到目的；try doing 尝试做某事，只是试着去做，并不表示非得做到的意思。结合句意的需要，使用try to do是合适的。故填to join。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：尽管起初我做不好，我努力加入学校足球队。代替前面的football team，表示特指意义，应该使用it，故填it。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：为了为大学或者将来要到来的任何其他事情做好准备，我下定决心更努力学习，习惯新的环境。be prepared for：为某事做好准备，故填prepared。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：为了为大学或者将来要到来的任何其他事情做好准备，我下定决心更努力学习，习惯新的环境。分析句子结构可知，whatever引导一个宾语从句，主句表示将来意义, 那么表示让步的从句也常用一般现在时表示将来且主语是whatever，谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式，故填comes。

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，续写的词数应为150左右。
During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute,” Mom said.
Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” she asked.
Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”
Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.
Paragraph 1：
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time.
Paragraph 2：
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time. And then she wiped her eyes and started to clean her room. It took her two hours to clean up the room. “I did it!” she said proudly. She even found her missing shoe. She ran into the living room. “Grandma! Come and see. I cleaned my room and found my shoe.” Grandma looked at Emma’s room. “If you had kept it this way, you wouldn’t have lost your e and have some sweets now,” she said.
Paragraph 2:
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home. “Well, look at Emma’s room! It’s clean,” her dad said. “How was the zoo Did you have fun I wish I could have gone there with you,” Emma said. “If you keep your room clean, we may go and see animals again,” her mom said. From then on, Emma tried her best to keep her room clean.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emma跟妈妈提议去200号公园喂动物，她的妈妈同意了。但是在临行前，Emma只找到了一只鞋，妈妈回想起她告诉Emma多少次让她把房间打扫干净，但是她总是弄的一团糟。于是Emma妈妈打算给她一个教训，没有带她去动物园，而是让奶奶在家看着她把房间打扫干净。
【详解】1.段落续写：

②由第二段首句内容“Emma和她奶奶正坐在餐桌旁吃饭，这时她的妈妈、爸爸和瑞安回家了。”可知，第二段可描写Emma的妈妈、爸爸和瑞安回家后发生的故事。

The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
1. How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A. 104,944. B. 107,601. C. About 150,000. D. About 250,000.
2. Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A. Michigan Stadium. B. Beaver Stadium. C. Ohio Stadium. D. Kyle Field.
3. What do the listed stadiums have in common
A. They host big games. B. They have become tourist attractions.
C. They were built by Americans. D. They are favored by architects.
B
High school often serves to prepare students for a college education, or it might be the last stop on the educational journey for some people. No matter which path one may select, high school life offers students the opportunities to achieve a great deal of learning, get to know themselves, or simply have fun.
In America high school is a special experience with a culture of its own. Public high schools exist in all communities. Every community in the United States has a public school system, teaching children at primary and secondary levels. These schools are free and supported mainly by taxes, with additional aid from states and governments. Private high schools are a choice for parents who want to give their child a better education. They are often very expensive. Private schools are usually famous for their academic reputation (学术声望). This academic reputation is related to college preparation.
In high school, students study various academic subjects such as English, literature, foreign languages, maths, science, history, geography and so on. Some large high schools have classes that teach job-related subjects like auto mechanics, cooking and others, in order to provide students with skills needed for certain jobs. High school might also offer “honours classes” for particularly smart and sharp students.
Some states give basic skills exams during the last year of the high school process to make sure that certain academic standards are met, but, again, high school curricula (课程) vary greatly among communities.
High school sports, particularly basketball and football, are often organised. Inter-city and cross-town competitions are often held. These competitions are popular, especially in communities that do not have their own professional sports teams. Nearly all high school teams have nicknames: the Knights and the Tigers being some famous examples.
4. Which of the following is not the supporting source of public school
A. Taxes. B. States.
C. Community. D. Governments.
5. Which of the following statements is true about private schools in the United States
A. Private schools are a better choice for parents than public schools.
B. All private high schools in the United States are very expensive.
C. Private schools can usually provide better college preparation.
D. There is a private school system in every community.
6. What does the author say about American high schools
A. Some schools have special classes for smart students.
B. Some states set academic standards in the first year.
C. Sports competitions are only in the city or town.
D. All communities have their own professional sports teams.
7. What might be the best title for the text
A. Life in the USA
B. Education in the USA
C. Public Schools and Private Schools in the USA
D. High Schools in the USA

Life is hard－even harder than anyone thought it would be. When you were younger, you dreamed of the world being your playground, and you were told that you could do anything and be anyone you wanted. Somehow, though, things haven’t been the smooth sailing that you wanted them to be. The world seems to go against you, and the last thing you want to hear is “Cheer up!”
Still, there’s a couple of things you might not notice about your situation. Next time you’re down, maybe the following will provide motivation.
Firstly, not everything is bad. It’s a well-accepted fact that bad news makes for sensational (极好的) television ratings. The fact is that something negative catches a lot more attention than something positive, and that’s because it’s easy to see things in a negative light. However, that shouldn’t distract you from the bigger picture.
Resist the tunnel vision that results from constant negativity. Remember that even though there’s lots of really nasty stuff going on, you’re surrounded by some pretty awesome stuff as well.
You should also remember other people aren’t you. No one likes being compared to another person. What makes it even worse, if that’s even possible, is when you do it to yourself.
Stop comparing yourself to another person and you’ll realize that you’re much more awesome than you give yourself credit for.
Lastly, failure isn’t where the game stops. So you tried something new, but you didn’t follow through. Frustrated at yourself, you stop trying. As a result, your quality of life goes down terribly. You’ve given up on it, though, because you don’t see the point (since you failed the first time).
Now, you’re an adult. The things you are trying are much more complicated than five-year-old you. However, your behaviour shouldn’t change in the slightest－when you fail in something, that’s just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesn’t work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out. Giving up is for losers, and you sure aren’t one of those.
8 The author mentioned bad news in order to show that .
A. bad news makes people see things in a negative light
B. bad news is more likely to catch people’s eyes
C. bad news attracts people to see positive things
D. bad news has a negative effect on television ratings
9. What does the underlined part “nasty stuff” in Para. 4 probably mean
A. Unstable emotions. B. Important events.
C. Amazing incidents . D. Something unpleasant.
10. How should we view failure according to the passage
A. We will change our behaviour.
B. We will keep trying the old method.
C. We should learn from failure.
D. We should think in a more complicated way.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. It inspires us to learn from negative experiences.
B. It compares negative and positive experiences.
C. It criticizes those who are affected by bad experiences.
D. It discusses how negative experiences affect others.
D
I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me ” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things—and I will, too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer (祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
12. What can we know about the author
A. He was a disabled man. B. He usually drove too fast.
C. He worked in a store. D. He often helped people in trouble.
13. How did the father feel at first when the author invited his daughter for a ride

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，续写的词数应为150左右。
During lunchtime, Emma suggested going to the 200 to feed the animals and her mom agreed.
“We’ll stop by the bakery and pick some bread up. Now hurry and eat and then we'll go. It’s going to be a lovely day. Grandma is coming with us. She'll be here any minute,” Mom said.
Emma ate her lunch and then ran into her room to get her shoes. The problem was that she could only find one of them. She looked under her bed, but all she could see were dirty towels and pants. She moved some of her toys out of the way, but still couldn’t find her shoe. After she’d checked everywhere in her room, she ran into the kitchen. “Mom, I can’t find my shoe. Will you wait while I look for it ” she asked.
Her mom thought about how many times she’d told Emma to clean her room up. She whispered something to Emma’s grandma and then said to Emma, “You will have to stay at home. Your dad and I will take Ryan to the zoo. Grandma will stay here with you.”
“No! Please wait for me. I want to go to the zoo,” Emma cried. “I’m sorry, Emma. I’ve told you a dozen times to clean your room and you ignored me. You can’t find your shoe now. It’s your own fault for not doing as I asked. You will stay at home.”
Emma ran into her bedroom, crying. Her mom came to the door and said, “Emma, clean that room of yours before I get home. I’ve told grandma not to give you any sweets until you finish the work.” She went out to the car with Ryan and Emma’s dad and then they drove away.
Paragraph 1：
Emma sat on her bed and cried for a long time.
Paragraph 2：
Emma and her grandma were sitting at the table, eating when her mom, dad, and Ryan came home.
