Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.
When I see a child suffer from this kind of 37 , I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third grader. His fear of 38 ,kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 39 , answered questions — — — he might be wrong.
I tried my best to 40 his confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, 41 Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned(安排)to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.
One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the problems with great care. Pleased with his progress, I 43 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 44 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me 45 . Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with 46 .
“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 his tearful face from his arms. “I’ve got something to 48 you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
“See these pencils, Donnie,” she continued, “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See these erasers(橡皮). How are they 49 ? That’s because people make mistakes, even teachers. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s 50 you must learn to do, too.” She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll 51 that everybody makes mistakes.” Donnie looked up with 52 in his eyes and a smile.
The pencil became Donnie’s 53 possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s unfailing 54 for even Donnie’s small success, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — — — as long as you erase them and try again.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with Lisa, the woman in the next seat until the conversation turned to fares(票价). The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid the full fare of$457. She decided that next time she would find out how to spend less money.
Here are some ways to save money:
Cheap airplane tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier(送快信的人). In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one – quarter of the regular fare - - - or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for$100;a regular ticket cost around$1,800 .
Train passes. If you are going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
Hostels. Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations(住宿)for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements. They are not only cheap($8-$17 a night) but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places - - - a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one – room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have swimming pools.
56.If a regular ticket costs$2,000, how much will you pay if you fly as a courier?
A.$100. B.$400. C.$500. D.$1.000.
57.What is the advantage of train passes?
A.They are free for tourists.
B.They are convenient to carry.
C.They can be used all over the world.
D.They can be used unlimitedly during a certain time.
58.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Hostels are open only to young people.
B.It is a good idea to travel by train in Europe.
C.Flying as a courier is a cheap way to travel by plane.
D.Laura paid much more than Lisa for the same flight.
59.What is this passage about?
A.Travel Tips. B.How to save money.
C.Different ways of travel. D.How to travel for less.
B
Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, and store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
60.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits .
A.promised to obey the store rules
B.forgot to take any money with him
C.hoped to have the food first and pay later
D.couldn’t afford anything more expensive
61.What kind of person is the aged gentleman in the writer’ s opinion?
A.Kind and lucky. B.Poor and lonely.
C.Friendly and helpful. D.Hurt and disappointed.
62.The writer followed the store rules because .
A.he wanted to keep his present job
B.he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C.he considered the old gentleman dishonest
D.he expected someone else to pay for the old gentleman
63.What does the writer learn from his experience?
A.Wealth is most important.
B.Helping others is easier said than done.
C.Experience is better gained through practice.
D.Following the rules means more than compassion.
C
Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket(彩票)I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going.
The lottery money is supposed to go to charity(慈善团体)- but it makes me angry to see some of the so – called “good causes” it’s being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of £10.8 million in five months.
For the past ten years I’ve been helping to raise funds(基金)for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago - - - he was only 51. There’s been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer. I’ve also lost two sisters – in- law, my brother, Michael, my father – in – law and my father. That’s apart from several close friends.
The charity is 50 years old now and raised money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises money through dances, sales and coffee morning, and all the funds go directly to cancer research. In 1993 Tenovus raised £3 million - - - and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.
I’m not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what they’re doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money away. The Government tells us that the money is going to things like the arts and sport, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amount of cash on so – called works of art - - - like displays of potatoes - - - or buying up Winston Churchill’s papers at a cost of £12 million?
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating(捐献)to cancer research, I could weep. It’s time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It’s disheartening.
64.The writer seems to hope that .
A.people will donate money to charity
B.people will spend more money on the lottery
C.most of the lottery money will go to charity
D. all of the lottery money will be used for cancer research
65.The writher raises funds for cancer research because .
A.she is suffering from cancer
B.cancer research needs more money
C.some of her relatives died of cancer
D.cancer is the most frightening disease
66.What does the writer express in the passage?
A.Some ideas of fund – raising.
B.Her personal opinions about lottery.
C.The public opinions about the cancer.
D.Her attitude towards cancer sufferers.
67.What can we conclude from the passage?
A.Lots of people suffer from cancer.
B.Tenovus was set up to collect money.
C.The writer objects to the National Lottery.
D.Government should stop people buying lottery.
D
When we think of the people who make our lives miserable by spreading malicious(恶意的)viruses(病毒), most of us imagine an unpopular teenage boy getting rid or his anger. But Sarah Gordon, an expert in computer viruses says, “A hacker(黑客)or a virus writer is just as likely to be the guy next door to you. Your average hacker is not necessarily someone dressed entirely in black and wearing a nose ring. She may be a 50 – year – old female.”
The virus writers have varied backgrounds. While most of them are male, some are female. Many have good relationships with their families; most are popular with their peers (同龄人). They don’t spend all their time in the basement. One virus writer volunteers working with elderly people.
Hackers and virus writers are actually very different. Hackers tend to have a more thorough knowledge of systems and a more highly developed skill set, while virus writers generally take a shallower approach to what they’re doing. Virus writing is looked down upon, most for lack of required skill.
Their motivations(动机)may also differ. While both hackers and virus writers are at first attracted by the technical challenge, hacking is more about power and control. When you are hacking and you get into a system, you take it over and control it.
Gordon explains that people write viruses for a number of reasons. Some may regard it as a technical challenge, even though writing a virus is actually very easy. Younger virus writers like to be part of a group, which is important to them. Or it may be a way to make a social statement. If you’re a young person who doesn’t have much power and you can attract attention with a political statement in a virus that travels all around the world. You might think you’re making a difference, imagining yourself a modern – day social activist. Gordon says, “It’s a big deal to them when they see it on CNN. They feel like they’ve reached the world.”
“Most virus writers don’t understand to damage they do.” Gordon says. “They think it’s not really wrong. Or they may think everybody has antivirus software, so it won’t really hurt anybody.”
Fortunately, social pressure is changing the impressions people have of hackers and virus writers. Their own peers are beginning to say to them, “This is not cool.” The media(媒体)used to promote(提升)virus writers as talents and heroes. But now it has changed its tune. “We are seeing the media start to turn around,” Gordon says, “We’re getting the message out to young people that writing viruses really isn’t cool.”
68.What kind of people are hackers and virus writers?
A.They are clever but unpopular teenagers.
B.They are the guys living next door to you.
C.They are all dressed in black and wearing a nose ring.
D.They are ordinary people coming from different backgrounds.
69.What’s the difference between hackers and virus writers?
A.Virus writers have more technical knowledge.
B.Hackers are more interested in power and control.
C.Virus writers make much greater damage than hackers.
D.Hackers are looked down upon while virus writers are accepted.
70.What do younger virus writers hope to get?
A.Chance. B.Wealth.
C.Social acceptance. D.Political power.
71.What can we infer from the passage?
A.People consider virus writers as heroes.
B.Our life is greatly affected by hackers and virus writers.
C.The attitude towards hackers and virus writers has changed.
D.Writing viruses is a way for teenagers to get rid of their anger.

No one can fail to stand in awed(令人敬畏的)admiration of the great discoveries of history - - - Newton’s laws of motion, Kepler’ s principles of planetary movement, Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Equally awe – inspiring are artistic creations in painting, theatre, music and literature, which have also been brought about by discovery through personal efforts. What do these extraordinary achievements of well – known scientists and artists have to do with problem solving?
A great scientific discovery or a great work of art is surely the result of problem solving activity. The solution to a problem, we are told, often comes to thinkers in a “flash of insight(顿悟)”, although they may have been turning the problem over in their minds for some time. As a particular form of problem solving, these creative acts are based on the broad knowledge gained in the past, whether this be of the “public” sort known to science, or of the “private” sort known to the artist.
Many creative thinkers state that they have completely devoted themselves to the subject matter of the problem, often over fairly long periods of time. Indeed, it would be strange if they had not done this. Nothing in such statements supports the idea that there is anything very different about the problem solving that leads to discoveries of the great contributions to the society. The act of discovery, even in the relatively predictable(可预见的)sense that it occurs in everyday learning, involves(涉及)a “sudden insight” which changes the problem situation into a solution situation. As we have seen, everyday discovery also requires that the learner have the knowledge of the rules gained in the past, which is involved in the solution.
72.Why are Newton, Kepler and Einstein mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To explain that scientists are more creative.
B.To bring about the subject of the discussion.
C.To prove arts requires more personal efforts.
D.To show the difference between science and arts.
73.While knowledge from the past plays an important role in their achievement, thinkers sometimes also depend on their .
A.sudden insight B.artistic tastes
C.admiration of discoveries D.scientific experiments
74.What does the underlined word “this’ refer to?
A.Great contributions to the society.
B.Complete devotion to artistic creation.
C.Lone – time study of the subject matter.
D.Various statements about problem solving.
75.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Scientific discoveries are usually unpredictable in nature.
B.It’s likely to make scientific discoveries in everyday learning.
C.A sudden insight and knowledge from the past are required in making discoveries.
D.Knowledge of the rules in the past is often developed in the changes of situation.

But soon Tom fell asleep and his book fell down on the floor. The book was so close to the fireplace that it caught fire. The dog saw the fire and barked loudly to wake Tom up, but failed. Then the dog rushed out and barked wildly at the people outside. People were surprised at first, but when they saw smoke coming from the house, they understood the dog and phoned 119 at once.
