Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分读写）

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）

A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）

Mr Testtube has found three interesting articles at the website

https://www.360docs.net/doc/6a18705750.html, for his students.

Cambridge University’s‘doctor of chocolate’

Cambridge University is looking for someone to study the method of preserving chocolates in hot weather. It is a sweet job for a sweet tooth.

However, the person needs to be good at math. Chocolate has a

melting point close to our body temperature. For that reason,

chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the

advertisement from Cambridge University is ridiculous, but if there is really a‘doctor of chocolate,’he or she will help people a lot.

One logo（商标）isn’t too expensive to print because it doesn’t need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot. In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, to cut the cost. The design company retained the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing process. Let’s hope other companies will take this advice. The measure will save them money and use less energy, too.

The Museum of Failure History may be written by the winners, but we should not ignore the losers. At least, that’s what the Museum

of Failure wants us to believe.

Displaying around 80 examples of failed products, businesses and ideas, the newly opened museum in Helsingborg, Sweden, celebrates modern history’s ___75___ designs. But as well as exhibiting long-forgotten failures, founder Dr. Samuel West is on a task to help us learn from our mistakes.

‘I hope that visitors take home two messages: that success is always __76___ failure, and that they should understand the importance of learning from failure,’said Dr. West. Most of all innovation（创新）projects fail, and learning is the only way to turn failure into success, according to the museum’s website.

‘The purpose of the museum is to show that innovation ___77___ failure,’Dr. West said as he introduced some of the exhibits in a video.‘If you are afraid of failure, then you can’t innovate.’His purpose of starting the museum was to encourage organizations to be better at learning from failures instead of ignoring them and pretending they ___78___ happened.

Based on Leo Tolstoy’s‘Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,’Dr West has created a similar ___79___ for his museum:‘All successful innovations are alike; all failed innovations fail in their own interesting and spectacular（惊人的）way.’

The museum’s items ma ke Dr West more deeply believe that poorly-designed products have little in common with one another. One of the items, ___80___, is a frozen beef lasagne（意式千层面）made by Colgate, a company

that makes toothpaste. He described this as a classic case of

‘brand extension（品牌扩展）failure.’

‘I will never be angry at Max,’Kevin thought.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

‘What are you saying? You lost him?’the Chief of Police said angrily.

The young police inspector（警长）in front of her was tired, very tired. He wanted to sit down, but people did not sit down in thechief’s office. They stood and waited, and perhaps the Chief said ‘sit down’. Then they sat down, but not before.

So the inspector stood.‘I’m sorry, Chief,’he said.‘We couldn’t find him in the trees. We looked all night, but it was dark and …’

The Chief of Police put her hands on the desk in front of her.

‘You had five men with you, Inspecto r, and two dogs. And you couldn’t find him!’

The inspector waited, and the Chief of Police looked at him coldly.‘What are you waiting for?’She asked,‘Go out and find him! Three months ago, this man—Alex Dinon—killed the President of our country. He is a murderer—a dangerous man. Twenty-four hours ago he escaped from prison and our new President wants him back in prison—today! Now! At once!’The inspector quickly left the room.

His name was Felix, and he was thirty-three years old. That was young for an inspector, but he was a good policeman. He liked his job, and worked long hours, but he was sometimes afraid of the Chief of Police.

Ten minutes later he was back in his office, and Adam came into his room. Adam was twenty-five, and usually worked with Felix on important jobs.

‘What did the Chief say?’Adam asked.

‘Find Dinon quickly.’Felix said,‘So, let’s begin. Have we got photographs of Dinon? And what about his family?’

Adam put some photographs on the desk.‘He’s got a wife and two young children.’he said. ‘Right. I want photographs on television and in all the newspapers. Four men can watch his house and family, day and night—four hours on, and four hours off. Next, I want policemen at all the airports and …’

Telephones rang, and people came and went in the office. Felix and Adam worked on, late into

the night.

88. The Chief of Police was angry with Felix, wasn’t she?

89. What were the reasons Felix and his men lost Alex Dinon?
