●Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have.If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.__【1】_ The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

__2__

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it.They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! __3__Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.__4___If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.__5__ You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】F

【4】E

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析:失敗是否真的存在,其實它只在你的思想里。我們應(yīng)該永不放棄,把目標(biāo)確定下來,但是不要給自己一個時間點,這樣會感到失敗,在努力的過程中會有挫折,這只能意味著你做得還不夠。

【1】B考查對上下文的理解。根據(jù)上文的句子:If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.可知:失敗只存在你自己的思想里面,故選B符合語境。

【2】A 考查對段落的理解。 本段的意思是:Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.不要灰心喪氣,不要承認(rèn)失敗,不要放棄,故選A。

【3】F考查對上下文的理解。空前的意思是:目標(biāo)太高或者沒有精力時就會放棄,不要那樣做,承前,這里應(yīng)該是:不但不要放棄,而且還應(yīng)該朝著目標(biāo)執(zhí)著前行,無論發(fā)生什么,故選F。

【4】E考查對上下文的理解。空前的意思是:有些事不可控制 由此判斷這里的意思是:你不能確定目標(biāo)什么時候完成,故選E項與上下文符合。

【5】D考查對上下文的理解。根據(jù)上文的句子:It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.可知:這只能意味著你做不夠,故選D符合上下文。

【題目】概要寫作

閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。

With global warming and melting ice, it isn’t easy being a polar bear anymore. Some studies have predicted that polar bears could die out by the end of the century. The good news is not all researchers think the bears are absolutely disappearing. Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) have published a new paper indicating that things might not be as bad for polar bears as some scientists expect.

To understand the reason for the researchers’ cautious optimism, we must first understand the factors that are threatening the polar bear’s existence. Polar bears consume a diet of mainly young seals. In order to hunt these seals, polar bears need to rest at the top of sea ice---the same ice that is increasingly melting for most of the year thanks to climate change. In another 50 years, experts expect that the Arctic will be too warm for sea ice to form for half of the year, leaving polar bears without a reliable food source and in serious danger of starvation.

As it turns out, alternative food sources for the polar bears aren’t completely out of the question. For as long as biologists have tailed after the animals, they’ve seen polar bears eating animals found on land like caribou(馴鹿) and snow geese---as well as the snow geese’s eggs.

Can polar bears actually survive off these alternative food sources for long periods of time? To figure this out, researchers calculated the nutrients that a caribou and snow geese diet would provide. They found that even adult male polar bears would be able to obtain more calories than they would burn in hunting these meals. Moreover, the food would provide the food necessary to avoid starvation during the summer months.

Unfortunately, not all polar bears have tended to seek food on land. That said, the researchers expect that necessity would push more polar bears to hunt on land to avoid starvation. They also expect that the bears could learn from their fellow bears how to hunt on land until the practice becomes second nature.

Public Speaking Training

●Get a coach

【1】 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.

●Focus on positives

Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well. 2 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.

3

If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 4 . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

●You are a special person not a clone

Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.

A. You already do lots of things well

B. Turn your back on too many rules

C. Check the rules about dos and don’ts

D. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

E. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep

F. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

G. You aren’t like anybody else

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.5 Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, Sqzeirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. 【1】They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃)trees【2】 The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.【3】 So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.

【4】But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade(涌入)Indiana.【5】

A. Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.

B. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.

p>C. Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way.

D. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.

E. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

F. Scientists are worried that they will drive away the gray squirrels.

G. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels

do with the food they collect.
