A

体裁:说明文话题:自信与成功词数:426时间:6′

Nothing succeeds like confidence.When you are truly confident, it radiates (辐射、散开) from you like sunlight,and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁铁).Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience,their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends.And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?

First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will.The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think.What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided.Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them.Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices.Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through.And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success—after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement.No one can take this away from you!

As you sow, sow will reap.With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer

to success.At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and compliments elegantly.“Thanks, I really worked hard on that success, I'm pleased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it.Self-confidence really can be learned and built on.Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort!

【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了自信对于取得成功的重要性,及其在人们日常生活中的重要作用。

21.Those who are truly confident ________.

A.succeed without effort and hard work

B.gain the confidence of others and feel successful

C.appear more attractive and thus become successful

D.encourage people around to become confident

答案D[细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知“我们的自信可以反过来激励他人的自信。”所以说可以鼓励他人变得自信。]

22.The underlined word “mock” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A.punish B.imitate C.laugh at D.praise for

答案C[词义猜测题。由前后文可知即使他人嘲笑或批评你的想法,你也要做你认为是正确的事情。]

23.When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to ________.A.praise them in return

B.gain further improvement

C.expect them to congratulate you again

D.politely accept the compliments

答案D[细节理解题。由第五段第二、三句可知“你可以优雅地等待别人对你所取得成就的祝贺和赞扬”也就是可以礼貌地接受别人的赞美。]

24.Which of the following sayings best expresses the meaning of Paragraph 4?

A.Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.

B.It is no use crying over spilt milk.

C.Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% efforts.

D.Look before your leap.

答案A[主旨大意题。通读第四段可知,其大意是告诉我们要勇于承认自己的错误并从中学习,并在日后避免同样的错误。]

25.The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A.tell people how to become successful

B.encourage people to build confidence and achieve success

C.convince people to do what they believe to be right

D.criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their career

体裁:说明文话题:错误与成长词数:352时间:5′

We live in a culture that sends out very mixed messages about mistakes: We're told we learn by making them, but we work hard to avoid them.So the result is most of us know that we are going to make mistakes, but deep down, we feel we shouldn't.

Experiments with schoolchildren who did well on a given test show that those who were praised for being smart and then offered a more challenging or less challenging task afterward usually chose the easier one.On the other hand, children praised for trying hard—rather than being smart—far more often selected the more difficult task.

If we try hard to avoid mistakes, we aren't open to getting the information we need in order to do better.In a writing study, experiments showed that those who are so scared to make mistakes perform worse in writing tasks than those who aren't as worried about being perfect.They fear receiving any kind of negative feedback, so they don't learn where they went wrong and how to get better.

We don't just learn more when we're open to mistakes, we learn deeper.Research tells us that if we're only concerned about getting the right answer, we don't always learn the underlying concepts that help us truly understand whatever we're trying to figure out.Mistakes need to be seen

not as a failure to learn, but as a guide to what still needs to be learned.As Thomas Edison said, “I am not discouraged, because every abandoned wrong attempt is another step forward.”

Furthermore, we often make mistakes because we try new things—we wander away from accepted paths.Teflon, penicillin—these are examples of great discoveries made by mistake.Take a page from Albert Einstein, who said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

【语篇解读】本文讲述了错误对于我们成长的积极作用,并列举了相关实验和例子,以及我们应该用积极的态度对待错误。

26.What will happen to students praised for being smart in face of choosing tasks compared to students praised for working hard?

A.He will ask his teachers for advice.

B.He will choose a less challenging task.

C.He will work harder to avoid mistakes.

D.He will hide his mistakes from his teachers.

答案B[细节理解题。从文中第二段第一句可知“对在测试中取得较好成绩的学生做实验,给他们一个较难的任务和一个较简单的任务,被表扬聪明的同学更倾向于选择简单的任务”。]

27.If a person is always scared of making mistakes, he will ________.

A.lose confidence in everything

B.discourage himself from improving

C.suffer from great pressure of success

D.focus on getting positive information

答案B[推理判断题。从文中第三段第一句和最后一句可知“如果我们努力避免错误,我们就不会得到我们需要变好的信息……这样的人害怕收到负面的回馈,所以他们不会学到他们哪里做错了以及如何提高”。所以说,如果一个人害怕犯错误,他就不能得到提高。]

28.Which of the following statements is NOT acceptable according to the passage?

A.Being open to mistakes help you understand the truth.

B.Mistakes can be used as a positive factor for success.

C.The more mistakes we make, the more we learn.

D.A step forward may come from mistakes you've made.

答案C[推理判断题。此选项过于绝对,文中说错误可以帮我们找到自身的不足然后加以提高这样才会学到东西,而不是犯越多的错,学的越多。]

29.What does the last paragraph want to tell us?

A.One must follow a correct path to avoid mistakes.

B.To become an Einstein, you should make mistakes.

C.You can't make mistakes unless you try new things.

D.Making mistakes is not a disadvantage in a way.

答案D[主旨大意题。从最后一段可知,我们犯错误是因为我们努力尝试新的东西,所以从某种意义上说犯错误是有积极作用的。]

30.What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Mistakes should be treated with a correct attitude.

B.Success can't be achieved without making mistakes.

C.Try every means to avoid mistakes in our daily life.

D.We can never avoid making mistakes when we work.

答案A[主旨大意题。从文章大意可知本文讲述了错误对于我们成长的积极作用,以及我们应该用积极的态度对待错误。]

2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新课标I) 英语试卷类型A 第Ⅰ卷 第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2 分,满分10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.

Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor(1930-present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005) On December 1,1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights move ment. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks. 21.

第二十九组 (建议用时:25分钟) 阅读理解 A He was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful. Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct h im for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said,“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut!” It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it. I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s desk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper. That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really?” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anything to anyone!”“I didn’t know others liked me so much!”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.” No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents. Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a side-ways glance and simply said,“Dad?” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night,” he bega n.“Really?”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietn am War,” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.” I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature. After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something,”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.” Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces
