Donald was not very good at math. He couldn’t understand the teacher’s explanations. Even when the teacher __31 _ something a second time, Donald still could not _32 _ it.
“Never mind”, Donald told himself. “I’m quite good at _33_ subjects. I’ll cheat in the math exam, and then I won’t be in _34_ .
“I’ll sit nest to the boy who’s best at _35 _ ,” he thought, “and copy down his answers.”
The day of the exam came, and Donald sat next to Brian Smith, who was always at the _36_ of the class in math. Donald carefully copied Brian’s answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher collected the papers, and _37_ them.
Then she said, “Well, boys and girls, I’ve decided to give a prize to the student who got the highest grade. But it’s difficult for me to decide who should get the prize, because two students, Donald and Brian, got the same grade.”
“Let them _38_ it,” one of the other students said.
“ I’ve thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I’ve decided to give the prize to Brian/”
Donald was _39_ when he heard this. He stood up and said, “That’s unfair. I have got the same grade as Brian.”
“That’s true,” the teacher said. “ However, Brian’s answer to Question 18 was ‘I don’t know.’ Yours was ‘ _40_ do I.’”

Ⅲ. 阅读.（共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）
A.
Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show yourself off at a party and the song you’d practiced so many times suddenly becomes more difficult?
I’ve had both these experiences. As a senior school student, I have to take many exams. Each time I enter one, thinking “I can’t fail this time”, I get a low mark.
But don't’ be surprised—it’s not because we don’t try, or make enough preparations or take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because we give it too much attention. It is thinking “I must” that makes us taste the terrible flavour(滋味) of failure.
We often say to our friends “Don’t be too hard on yourself”. But, when we set our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice.
But, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult.
So why not throw away this crazy pursuit to get the best? Just face the problem lying before you with a calm state of mind, enjoy the hard work and you’ll succeed.
In my opinion, keeping a calm state of mind is a skill for life. For people who want to succeed, realizing this is a very important lesson.
So next time when you’re trying to draw a straight line or put on a performance, tell yourself, “If I can just do it better than last time, it’s a success.”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy whether you succeed or fail.
41.Which of the following is an idea that the writer is trying to get across?
You don’t need to practise so many times to sing a song well.
We don’t always have to follow our advice.
We should not force ourselves to do well in exams.
To draw a straight line needs a lot of skills.
What the writer tells us not to be surprised at is that _______________.
people fail though they’ve tried hard
people may succeed though they don’t try
straight lines are not really straight
everybody should taste the flavour of failure
Choose the correct order in which the article is organized. ___________
suggestions to try for success
cause of failure
examples of failure
a, b, c B. b, a, c C. c, a, b D. c, b, a
The underlined paragraph mainly tells us ____________.
why we make our path to success difficult
how to keep a calm sate of mind
how important it is to be calm
why some people are successful in life
Which of the following can be a proper title for this article?
Calm People Win Success
Hope for the Best, Plan for the Worst
Failure Is the Mother of Success
Hard Work leads to Success
B
Parents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager(十几岁的孩子) problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don't like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.
This text is most probably written by __________.
a specialist in teenager studies
a headmaster of a middle school
a parent with teenage children
a doctor for mental health problems
The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to __________.
the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child
the way that parents often blame themselves
the opinion that a child has of his parents
the advice that parents want their children to follow
The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as __________
lazy B. quiet C. unusual D. rude
From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ____________.
pay no attention to them
are too busy to look after them
have come to hate them
feel helpless to do much about them
What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?
Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.
Parents should pay still more attention to the change.
Parents should work more closely with schoolteacher.
Parents are at fault for the change in their children.
C
One day when a famous artist was on his way home, a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him. The artist accepted his request.
The young man asked, “How can you produce so many beautiful paintings and achieve your fame?”
The artist said, “It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day.”
The young man nodded, “Yes. I have been dreaming of being a person as notable(著名的) as you. Every minute I am thinking of how to become reputable(著名的). I don’t know when I can achieve my fame.”
The artist told him, “Don’t worry, young man, If you want to be a famous man this way, you will have to wait until you die!”
“Why should I?” the young man was puzzled.
The artist said, “What your dream is actually a high building. You never think of how to build it with bricks. Thus the building will never come into reality. However, your story can serve as a mirror. People will remember you because of your idleness(闲散，无聊) and laziness. They will often speak of your name while they give warnings to their children.

D. he would never be famous
53.. The man didn’t achieve his fame because ____________.
A. his wish was too high
B. he was short of hardworking spirit
C. he didn’t learn from others
D. he was too stupid
54. The story mainly tells us ____________.
A. a person needs high spirit
B. one shouldn’t dream of becoming famous
C. only by hard work can one’s wish come into reality

Television presents a very vivid world to us on television,. We can watch exciting Olympic football matches. We can travel New York or have sightseeing in London. We can also “go” to a concert with a cup of tea in our hand. From TV, we can learn many things happening in the world without going outside our houses.
Television also plays an educational role in our daily life. By proving various TV university courses, television offers various educational programs to different viewers.
However, television can also be harmful. It hurts our eyes. Watching TV too much influences our sleep and work and cut down children’s study time.
In short, we should regard television as our assistant, not our master.
