Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Failure isn't the end, unless you let it be. Don't believe me Here are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world.
Walt Disney
Disney began his career by being fired by a newspaper for not being creative enough. Later, his Mickey Mouse cartoons were rejected because they were considered to be “too scary for women”. Also, The Three Little Pigs was turned down because it only had four characters. Thankfully, we have the Disney Company today because Disney chose not to listen to any of his critics and press forward towards his dreams.
Stephen King
King is a best-selling writer whose work has been made into several motion pictures. However, his first work was rejected 30 times, which led to King throwing it in the trash. Thankfully, his wife persuaded him to keep working at it, and — from that poor start — Carrie was born.
Milton Hershey
The man who blessed us with the sweet milk chocolate treat we all love wasn't a hit the first time around. He once worked for a local candy factory. But when he went out on his own, he failed miserably. Then he returned to the family farm and perfected the art of making delicious milk chocolate candy, which we enjoy today.
Theodor Geisel
This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call “pure rubbish” several times — 27 to be exact. The man just wouldn't quit, though. One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who was a children's literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Geisel's work. Better known today as Dr Seuss, Geisel was never again called a failure after his first book became a hit.

B
Known as the birthplace of hip-hop, the South Bronx in New York City is a global center for music and art. However, it also suffers from poverty and pollution. Heavy trucks deliver unwanted construction waste to sorting stations, which then transfer waste to distant landfills.
Just graduating from college and working for an environmental group, Omar started to think about redirecting waste to those in need. He wondered, “Instead of destroying things like old doors, why not make this business a ‘cooperative’， which means people who work in the business own it and share the profits？”
Omar decided to start his business. He handed out flyers (小传单) along the truck-jammed, waste-filled streets to find individuals with similar ideas and interests to join him. Eventually, Omar found four workers and secured a warehouse. They reached out to relevant people, offering to remove items from construction sites for free. Soon, their warehouse was filled with donated materials, including 80 new toilets, unwanted doors, theater seats, and even a giant popcorn machine.
A few years ago, Omar started his first cooperative devoted to reusing construction waste. The cooperative began selling construction supplies at reasonable prices to neighborhood builders and home owners. With support from city officials, Omar began developing a new training program to equip local residents with the necessary skills for environmentally impact jobs.
Omar said, “Think about a wooden door that you've just bought. In order to produce that, someone had to cut down trees. In order to ship it across the country, someone had to pump oil out of the ground. You can avoid all that if you buy a good used door. And at the same time, you can reduce pollution, save money, and create jobs in communities like the South Bronx.”
Omar even had the image of a future with a whole network of green cooperative businesses in the area, which would work together to reuse different kinds of construction materials. “If you have a use for something，” Omar said, “it's no longer waste.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Omar通过回收废弃物品获得生意上的成功的故事。
4．What do we know about the South Bronx in Paragraph 1
A．It is free from poverty.
B．It pays little attention to art.
C．It suffers from a lack of landfills.
D．It faces the problem of waste pollution.
√

5．Why did Omar post flyers
A．To seek for minds alike.
B．To search for new materials.
C．To build a warehouse for waste.
D．To find repairmen for old doors.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“He handed out flyers ... to find individuals with similar ideas and interests to join him.”可知，Omar在街道上散发传单是为了寻找志同道合的人。
6．Which of the following can best describe Omar
A．Modest and cautious.
B．Wealthy and intelligent.
C．Humorous and generous.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Failure isn't the end, unless you let it be. Don't believe me Here are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world.
Walt Disney
Disney began his career by being fired by a newspaper for not being creative enough. Later, his Mickey Mouse cartoons were rejected because they were considered to be “too scary for women”. Also, The Three Little Pigs was turned down because it only had four characters. Thankfully, we have the Disney Company today because Disney chose not to listen to any of his critics and press forward towards his dreams.
Stephen King
King is a best selling writer whose work has been made into several motion pictures. However, his first work was rejected 30 times, which led to King throwing it in the trash. Thankfully, his wife persuaded him to keep working at it, and — from that poor start — Carrie was born.
Milton Hershey
The man who blessed us with the sweet milk chocolate treat we all love wasn't a hit the first time around. He once worked for a local candy factory. But when he went out on his own, he failed miserably. Then he returned to the family farm and perfected the art of making delicious milk chocolate candy, which we enjoy today.
Theodor Geisel
This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call “pure rubbish” several times — 27 to be exact. The man just wouldn't quit, though. One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who was a children's literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Geisel's work. Better known today as Dr Seuss, Geisel was never again called a failure after his first book became a hit.

Known as the birthplace of hip hop, the South Bronx in New York City is a global center for music and art. However, it also suffers from poverty and pollution. Heavy trucks deliver unwanted construction waste to sorting stations, which then transfer waste to distant landfills.
Just graduating from college and working for an environmental group, Omar started to think about redirecting waste to those in need. He wondered, “Instead of destroying things like old doors, why not make this business a ‘cooperative’， which means people who work in the business own it and share the profits？”
Omar decided to start his business. He handed out flyers (小传单) along the truck jammed, waste filled streets to find individuals with similar ideas and interests to join him. Eventually, Omar found four workers and secured a warehouse. They reached out to relevant people, offering to remove items from construction sites for free. Soon, their warehouse was filled with donated materials, including 80 new toilets, unwanted doors, theater seats, and even a giant popcorn machine.
A few years ago, Omar started his first cooperative devoted to reusing construction waste. The cooperative began selling construction supplies at reasonable prices to neighborhood builders and home owners. With support from city officials, Omar began developing a new training program to equip local residents with the necessary skills for environmentally impact jobs.
Omar said, “Think about a wooden door that you've just bought. In order to produce that, someone had to cut down trees. In order to ship it across the country, someone had to pump oil out of the ground. You can avoid all that if you buy a good used door. And at the same time, you can reduce pollution, save money, and create jobs in communities like the South Bronx.”
Omar even had the image of a future with a whole network of green cooperative businesses in the area, which would work together to reuse different kinds of construction materials. “If you have a use for something，” Omar said, “it's no longer waste.”
4．What do we know about the South Bronx in Paragraph 1
