Ⅲ.阅读理解
体裁：说明文话题：博客时间：10分钟
The following is a blog post by an expert in mental analysis on how to protect yourself from failure—after the setback(挫折)．No one can avoid one setback or another，and there's no doubt that suffering a setback is difficult.This reaction differs for each person，but the major setbacks for most people are similar：divorce，losing your job，business difficulty，or bankruptcy.If a setback has left scars(伤痕) on you，it becomes a failure.When it doesn't scar you，a setback is a useful experience and turns into an opportunity if you have the psychological power to protect you from failure.
For most of us，preventing future failures is something we pay little attention to.Our focus is on how to overcome immediate challenges.Therefore，when a setback actually does occur，we are open to negative emotions.The more a setback feels like a failure，the more likely it is to scar you.Y ou become more careful of risk，sometimes to the point of actual anxiety.Y ou feel a range of emotions from guilt and shame to anger and fear.Y ou keep wondering “What did I do wrong？”and “Why did this happen to me？”
So it is realistic to accept we are hurt and make full use of the psychological power inside us，thus preventing scars falling on us.Here's a general guide.
Before a setback
1．Have a good support group around you at work.
2．Communicate with your family or partner.
3．Don't carry the whole burden by yourself but share your feelings with others.
4．Identify with core values(核心价值观) that support your sense of worth.
5．Build your self－respect.
6．Develop interests outside work.
After a setback
1．Give yourself room to be sad over the loss.Healing takes time.
2．Don't hide from your pain.Denying makes healing take longer.
3．Notice the signs of depression and seek help for them.
4．Spend least possible time regretting.
5．Find a trustworthy friend who has survived the same setback to talk with.
6．Change your plan for the future in a positive way.
These points are all action steps；they get you moving.It's unfortunate that the most common way of dealing with crisis is to watch more TV and play more video games.Everyone has an emotional set point that returns to normal，usually within six months.Even so，recovery isn't the same for everyone.At one extreme are people defeated by a setback，who accept and believe “I'm a failure.”At the other extreme are people who say they thrive__on__stress and only want to fight harder when they go down.Most of us fall somewhere in the middle，and therefore we shift between discouragement and hope，self－disparagement(自贬) and self－belief.
Most men feel it necessary to move on as a first response to setbacks.Something bad has happened to them，so they are determined
to find something good as a remedy(补救)．The response is good，but what gets ignored is the inner disturbance created by a setback.Y ou can be cheated out of a hundred dollars and feel enormously angry，or you can lose a million dollars honorably and walk away from it a better person.The choice is yours，and it depends on how much attention you pay to building a self.This is a lifelong project，which is the most valuable thing you can do for yourself and others.Someone who is successful at building a self doesn't fear the ups and downs，because he has an unshakable foundation in the true self.

A．work with a good supportive team
B．control the whole task by yourself

A．become afraid of stress
B．ignore possible depression
C．change plans after a setback
D．grow stronger after a setback
解析词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中倒数第二句话“...only want to fight harder when they go down”由此可以推出划线部分的含义是受到挫折后，变得更坚强了。故选D项。

大学英语B阅读翻译及写作_6
大学英语B阅读翻译及写作 TEST 1 阅读1： 有这些关于两位美国总统杰克逊和范布伦试图解释英语词组OK的故事。我们不知这些故事的真实性，但他们都是很有趣。第一种解释是根据杰克逊总统读书少的事实。事实上，他读写有困难。当他接到重要的文件，他努力地去读，然后让助手解释内容，如果他赞成，他就会在公文上写上Oll Korrect二字，问题就在于他不知道如何拼写，所以他真正写的是“ol korekt”.过了一段时间，他简称为“OK”. 第二种解释是根据范布伦总统的出生地纽约是事实。范布伦的朋友组织了一个俱乐部帮助他竞选。他们把它称之为Old Kinderhook 俱乐部，支持范布伦的人被称为“OK”。 阅读2. 尽管美国有很多陆地，生产事物所占用的地甚至不到现在人口所居住的地方多很多，现在大多数的人都生活在一个大都市里，从事农业和林业的人不到十分之一，多多少少总有一部分人仍然生活在城镇附近，那儿原有的景象正在不断地改变：每个小城镇都很相识，那有代表性的城镇相当于那富有大自然美好景色的农村，但是大部分美国人不在住在那里了，现在有一半人口住在30个大城市里，这好比一百万人居住在每一个比德国、英国大的免职里，更不用说法国了。据统计，城市和乡村的人口应该被处改并且告诫，那是因为有人把区域分类作为农村，在城镇范围内开车旅行，并且逐渐盖满房子，以致于很难说出农村一下子变成郊区城镇，但是越来越多典型的美国人居住在大城市里好比居住在小的城镇环境里。 阅读3 如果我们被准确地问及我们一年前所做的事情，我们就会不得不说我们不能记起。但是我们将每一天所做的事写在一本簿子上并保存在内，我们应该能够回答那些问题。那历史也一样。很多事已被忘记，是因为我们没有将它们记录在案。有时人类会记录那些在他们回家发生的最重要的事，但是经常会被大火或战争而销毁掉。有时会因为那个时候或那个地方的人民不知道怎么写字，就根本没有任何文字记录。例如，我们知道很多关于4，000年前住在中国大地上的人们，就是因为他们会写字，并且能够把文字记载流传到他们的后代。但是我们几乎不知道一些有关于在非洲中部200多年前住在那里的人们的事，因为他们没有学写字。当然，有时候即使人们不会写字，他们仍然会知道一些过去的事。他们可从老人们口里所说到，还有一些关于重要事件的歌曲、舞蹈和已被编造出来的故事，并且这些通过被唱和演出就能告诉人们很多梗概。就如大部分人都会很自豪地告诉别人，在过去他们父亲那代所做过的一些事情。对于这，我们会叫它作“记忆性的历史”。它们有些现在已被记载。那作为历史记载的话是不准确和没有高价值的，是因为当在讲话反复使用时，词句会比抄写下来容易改变得多了。但是对于要进行文字记载的地方，这样的口述故事是非常有帮助的。 完型填空： 你会发现大学的课程是不同与高中学校的课程，你将会有更多的工作和责任却没有太多的被动，另一方面，你也有更多的自由??有自由去选择学什么，什么时候学，或者为什么而学，你将需要练习最大量的自我训练。这是最辛苦的一种训练，因为这是资源的，和你只能是你自己一个去行动（面对），你决定的学习习惯将会是你将来成功的决定因素，或是缺陷。另外，你会发现你的导师跟你早先遇到过的那些人有些相识，他们会希望你更加投入到你的学习习惯和时间安排上。记住，许多你学到的是发生在课室以外的。你的导师会给你附加的帮助在课堂以外。如果这时候证明你的课正在生效、实行。在你能力和技术都能控制掌握的条件下，你需要有效果地安排你的时间，以便使你在大学里取得成功。一个与有效利用时间的有关的表会使你能够使工作和游玩都包含在内，当你获得一份工作，不久你会发现不足仅是做你想的，更是你所希望的。 作文： 你同学建华在国外学习，你们经常用英文通信。他即将完成学业，不久前来信说将回国工作。请根据下列提示回信：注意：1词数100左右； 2 行文英连贯，内容应完整； 3 开头语与落款已为你写好。 June 8th Dear Jianhua, I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago. I’m very glad to know that you have finished your studies abr oad. And what you are studying is well needed nowadays in China. It will be quite easy for you to find a good job. I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you. I’m working for the computer company now, and I must work from nine clock to five . If you are free, please come to visit me . I am looking forward to your letter . Best wishes, Minghua TEST 2 Passage 1
高考英语阅读理解D专练5篇
阅读理解D专练5篇 Passage 1(2017江苏,D) Old Problem, New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation.”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
高考英语完型填空专题练习及答案
完形填空练习 【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。 【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构 首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构： （1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补） （2）主语+系动词+表语 其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类： （1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。 （2）充当谓语的一定是动词。 （3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。 （4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。 （5）作状语的典型词类是副词。 再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类： （1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。 （3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子
结构来分析。） （4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。 【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。 【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .

Many citizens often complain about the thefts and robberies that have taken place in the areas they live in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective measures to reduce the crime rate. Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly give up the fight and other people turn a blind eye to them. However, some people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight the criminals. Their fearless actions prevented the criminals from doing evils, saved the victims, and protected the public properties. To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should first receive a law education. Criminals must be severely punished. Meanwhile we should set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime. 作文范文二:Advertisements Advertisements are getting their way into people's lives. People depend on advertisers in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are always manufacturers. Sometimes they are salesmen. Their merchandise needs advertising. Thus nearly every product is advertised. To some extent, good advertising means success while bad advertising can means failure. There are many ways to advertise and 'ads' come in different forms. Newspaper carries advertisements. Some products are announced on TV and radio which have a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies are set up to furnish a variety of services for it. However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and they haven't always been satisfied. 作文范文三:My first Job Before I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant.

高三英语阅读理解专练(七)
高三英语阅读理解专练（七） 制卷人：施浩杰2008/11/17 A His own way to express love Yesterday was our three-year anniversary. We didn’t do anything romantic: we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and future. This was pretty much what I had expected. Andy is unromantic guy: no sweet words or roses. Smart as he is, he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast, I am an outspoken girl who likes to show her feelings directly. So needless to say, I often feel that is insensitive. I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words. I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day: “If someone does not love you in the way you like, it does not mean that he does not love you.”this simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me. One cold winter night, I got a high fever. He hurried to my dorm and took me to the hospital. He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks. Upon arrival, he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续). When I was put on a drip（输液）, he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable. Gradually, I felt asleep. When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still whispering to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have waken up. At that moment, I found love in his sparkling eyes. Another time, I had a bad quarrel with my best friend. Although I knew it was my fault, I refused to admit it. I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake, but this was what everyone should do. The next morning, I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
