Many of the world’s most well-known people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.

Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)

Abraham Lincoln was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed. He went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He is courageous and persistent. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”

Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)

Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He’s renowned(著名的) for paintings such as The Starry Night, The Potato

Eaters and Sunflowers. However, Van Gogh became famous all over the world after his

- 3 -

death. During his lifetime, he sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.

Albert Einstein(1879-1955)

Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered as a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was expelled（开除） from school and couldn’t get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.”

Stephen King(born 1947)

Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book,

Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin,

but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did successfully this time!

21. Which statement is true about Abraham Lincoln? A. He led the American War of Independence. B. He was full of courage and persistence. C. He never succeeded in his business.

D. He is the greatest president of the United States. 22. Who became famous all over the world after his death? A. Abraham Lincoln. C. Vincent Van Gogh.

D. He was naughty and didn’t obey the school rules. 24. What do the people in the passage have in common? A. They all suffered failure before they succeeded. B. They are known for their writings.

C. They were born in the same century. D. They are all Americans.

B

A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.

I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.

When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.

I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room , a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.

I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.

It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy（美味佳肴）, and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.

25. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds.

- 5 -

B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.

26. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The families get together for it.

D. Children can eat delicious food on that day.

27. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _____. A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful 28. What lesson can we learn from the story?

A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits. C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.

C

Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our

attention span(时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology.

“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Dr. Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “And we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions(使人分心的事) too: emails, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.

Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer. ”

Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”

But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill. ” 29. According to new research, why humans are becoming like goldfish? A. Because we have pretty boring lives like goldfish.

B. Because our attention span(时长) is getting shorter like goldfish. C. Because we can only concentrate for nine seconds like goldfish. D. Because we are hard to learn new things like goldfish.

30. What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker? A. We move quickly from one site to another on the web. B. We become more and more busy.

C. Our traditional methods of reading is losing. D. We spend much time in making decisions.

31. What will help students overcome a short attention span? A. Receiving emails.

B. Texting messages. D. Watching quickie movies.

C. Reading more books.

32. What is the best title for this passage? A. Computer Games are Monsters B. Goldfish and Human Beings C. Short Attention Span

D. Thinking about Skipping on the Websites.

French writer Frantz Fanon once said, “To speak a language is to take on a world, a culture.” Since the world changes every day, so does our language.

- 7 -

More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford

Dictionary, and in one way or another they are all reflections of today’s changing

world.

After a year that was politically unstable, it’s not hard to understand the fact that people’s political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary. One example is “clicktivism”, a compound of “click” and “activism”. It refers to “armchair activists”—people who support a political or social cause, but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone. And “otherize” is a verb for “other” that means to alienate(使疏远) people who are different from ourselves—whether that be different skin color, religious belief or sexuality.

Lifestyle is also changing our language. For example, “fitspiration” —a compound of fit and inspiration—refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.

The phrase “climate refugee”—someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change—reflects people’s concern for the environment.

According to Stevenson, social media was the main source for the new expressions. “People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,” he said.

But still, not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary. If you want to create your own hit words, Angus Stevenson, Oxford Dictionaries head of content development, suggests that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful, but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.

33. What’s the purpose of the quotation（引用）from French writer Frantz Fanon? A. To lead to the topic of the whole passage. B. To present one of the major views of the society. C. To show the importance of language. D. To introduce Frantz Fanon.

34. The underlined word “coin” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means “________”. A. dislike

B. create C. borrow D. use

- 8 -

35. According to Stevenson, to make the words you invent popular, they should ________. A. be easy to remember

B. have unique sound or spelling C. appeal to youngsters

D. be meaningful, expressive and have an attractive sound 第二节 阅读七选五
