We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly.
Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days. During their stay in the city, they found by accident that people there decorated their walls with things that looked like what they used to make pots.

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals. Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire, you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee （保证） success, but if you don’t show up, you will never succeed.
Fail. If you’re not willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success, you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula （公式） for success is to double your rate of failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.
36．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success
A．Good education.B．Working hard. C．Strong desire. D．Enjoying failure.
37．What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”
A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health.
B．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.
C．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.
D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.
38．What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph
A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Many hands make light work.
C．Every dog has its day. D．Actions speak louder than words.
39．Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage
A．If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.
B．If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.
C．Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.
D．Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.
40．The best title of the passage might be ________.
A．Failure is the mother of success B．Try harder and you will succeed
C．The importance of success D．Some practical ways to success

Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (支配) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge (挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

When we think of friends, we usually think of those who have been in our life for a long time. In fact there is a 66 kind of friend — one that has not been with us for a long period of time, but fills our mind at some moment.
The first such friend I remember is the little girl with red curly hair. She was in the bed next to m 67 when I received an operation (手术) on my nose. She was about two years o 68 , more active and braver. She would jump out of bed whenever the nurse was gone. Her two little feet on the cold floor impressed me. Without her, I was a 69 and afraid.
Two years later, I was sent to a nursery school b 70 my parents were far busy. There, I met a foreign girl. We both were the oldest in that school; the others were babies who were not able to talk with us. Our friendship s 71 with competitions. Although(尽管) we couldn’t speak to each other in the same language, our communication was made by trying to beat(击败) each other — at drawing, at game, e 72 at eating. Our competitions, I think, gave me something I could control. And maybe I gave her the same. We got t 73 through a difficult time.
Such friends often support us when our life is off balance. A word, a smile, and a similar scene can b 74 back memories(记忆) about them. Naturally, the warmth rises in our heart when we think of them. And silently, we t 75 them and wish them well.

答案 C B A D A A B A C D
1．D
【详解】句意：阅读右边的信息。哪一个是正确的
考查陈述句。根据表格中的信息“Free time each day”可知，三个人中Nancy的空闲时间最多，其次是John，最后是Daniel，所以John的空闲时间比Nancy少，故选D。
2．C
【详解】句意：萨利嗓音很好，歌唱得很好。A. noise噪音；B. sound指各种声响；C. voice嗓音；D. whisper耳语。voice可以指人的嗓音，说话、唱歌。故答案为C。
点睛：(1) sound 声音、音响，其含义最广，指人能听到的任何声音，包括大的、小的、好听的、难听的、有意义的和无意义的等等。如：Sound travels more slowly than light. 声音比光传播得慢。We couldn’t hear a sound here. 在这里我们一点声音也听不到。
(2) noise 指声音、噪音、喧闹声，指不悦耳的、不和谐的嘈杂声、喧闹声，或任何令人讨厌的声音等。如：He enjoys the country life, away from city noise. 他喜欢远离城市喧闹的乡村生活。Will you please make less noise, boys and girls 孩子们能不能小点声？

I recognized her voice at once when he phoned. 他打电话时，我一下子就认出了他的声音。
3．B

考查动词短语。would like to do sth.“想做某事”，固定短语，故选B。
4．B
【详解】句意：他们四个人中，他花在新车上的钱最少。
考查介词辨析和最高级的用法。of关于， 属于……的；fewest不多的( few的最高级 )； Among（表示范围）在…之内；least最小的， 最少的; In 采用（某种方式），穿着，带着，（表示位置）在…里面，（表示领域，范围）在…以内； Between,两者之间。根据题干中four of them，此处四个人之中。所以排除of ,in between。第二个空修饰money，其是不可数名词，故用little修饰，最高级是least。故选B。
【点睛】本题考到了介词辨析，表示在……中间有以下几个词：
among意思为“在……中间”（三者或三者以上）；与之同义但用法上不同的是between,在……中间（两者之间）。of的意思实际上就是“……的……”，“名词A +of+名词B”的意思就是“B的A”，往往在名词A前加上定冠词the。eg：the book of Tom等于是Tom's book。in意思是“在……里面”，略带有区域性如in China在中国（里）。
5．B
【详解】句意：当有什么事让我担心时，我可以去找她。
考查动词时态。根据“I can go to her.”可知本句是一般现在时，主语是不定代词，动词应用三单形式，故选B。
6．B
【详解】句意：每年夏天，他花费很多时间练习弹钢琴。
考查非谓语动词。practice练习，是一个动词，常用于句型practice doing sth.“练习做某事”；由句子结构可知，该句谓语动词为“spends”，意为“花费”，常用于句型spend+一段时间+doing sth.“花费时间做某事”。故选B。
7．A
【详解】句意：他总是帮我做家务。
考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。help sb. (to) do sth.帮助某人做某事，是固定搭配，所以动词do要用原形。故选A。
8．B
【详解】句意：休息一下怎么样？
考查动名词作宾语。how about+doing sth.做……怎么样，是固定搭配，所以动词have要用动名词形式，即having。故选B。
9．D
【详解】句意：——太阳，月亮，地球哪个最大？——当然是太阳。
考查形容词比较等级的用法。smaller更小的；the smallest最小的；bigger更大的；the biggest最大的。根据“the sun, the moon or the earth”可知，三者之间比较用最高级，排除A、C；根据“Of course the sun is”可知，三者之间太阳是最大的。故选D。
10．C
【详解】句意：我最好的朋友杰克看上去很高兴，他总是脸上带着微笑。
考查动词、介词辨析和时态。wear面露，面带（某种表情）；put放；on在……上；in在……里面。wear a smile“面带微笑”；根据“his face”可知，微笑在脸上，第二空应填on；根据“always”可知，此句时态为一般现在时，主语“he”为第三人称单数，谓语动词也应用其单数形式wears。故选C。
11．A
【详解】句意：老师让我们把单词说了三遍。
考查动词短语。make sb. do sth.让某人做某事，是固定搭配，所以动词say要用原形。故选A。
12．C
【详解】句意：谁在跳高中跳得最高？
考查副词最高级和词义辨析。longest最长；higher更高；highest最高；most high错误形式。根据定冠词“the”和比较范围“in the high jump”可知跳得最高，使用最高级，highest“最高”符合题意，故选C。
13．C
【详解】句意：他们有能力用更少的钱完成更多的工作。
考查形容词辨析。fewer较少的，修饰可数名词复数形式；less更少，修饰不可数名词；more更多，修饰可数名词复数形式或不可数名词；work和money均为不可数名词，所以第一空用more；结合“They’re able to ...”可知，是强调他们有能力，所以应是可以用“更少的钱完成更多的工作”，所以第二空用less，故选C。
14．B
【详解】句意：英国人说lorry，美国人说truck。
考查名词辨析。hall大厅；truck卡车；recess休息；soccer足球。根据“People in the UK say ‘lorry’”可知，英国人把卡车叫做lorry，因此此处应是表示美国人对卡车的叫法，应是叫做truck。故选B。
15．C
【详解】句意：——你哥哥是什么样的？——他心地善良，乐于助人。
考查情景交际。He likes cakes and eggs他喜欢蛋糕和鸡蛋；He is a student他是一个学生；He is kind and helpful他心地善良，乐于助人；He is like his father他像他的父亲。根据“What’s your brother like”可知此处询问哥哥的品质特征，选项C符合语境。故选C。

We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly.
Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days.

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals. Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire, you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee （保证） success, but if you don’t show up, you will never succeed.
Fail. If you’re not willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success, you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula （公式） for success is to double your rate of failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.
36．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success
A．Good education.B．Working hard. C．Strong desire. D．Enjoying failure.
37．What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”
A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health.
B．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.
C．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.
D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.
38．What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph
A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Many hands make light work.
C．Every dog has its day. D．Actions speak louder than words.
39．Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage
A．If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.
B．If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.
C．Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.
D．Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.
40．The best title of the passage might be ________.
A．Failure is the mother of success B．Try harder and you will succeed
C．The importance of success D．Some practical ways to success

When we think of friends, we usually think of those who have been in our life for a long time. In fact there is a 66 kind of friend — one that has not been with us for a long period of time, but fills our mind at some moment.
The first such friend I remember is the little girl with red curly hair. She was in the bed next to m 67 when I received an operation (手术) on my nose. She was about two years o 68 , more active and braver. She would jump out of bed whenever the nurse was gone. Her two little feet on the cold floor impressed me. Without her, I was a 69 and afraid.
Two years later, I was sent to a nursery school b 70 my parents were far busy. There, I met a foreign girl. We both were the oldest in that school; the others were babies who were not able to talk with us. Our friendship s 71 with competitions. Although(尽管) we couldn’t speak to each other in the same language, our communication was made by trying to beat(击败) each other — at drawing, at game, e 72 at eating. Our competitions, I think, gave me something I could control. And maybe I gave her the same. We got t 73 through a difficult time.
Such friends often support us when our life is off balance. A word, a smile, and a similar scene can b 74 back memories(记忆) about them. Naturally, the warmth rises in our heart when we think of them. And silently, we t 75 them and wish them well.
