AMisadventure in EnglishLast week, our forum ( 论坛) asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. Here are some of our favourite posts.Sophie When I first visited New York, I went to a shopping centre. I asked a lady where the shoes were. She said they were on the first floor. I went upstairs. But I couldn’t find any. I thought she gave me the wrong information. Then, I realized that the first floor was the ground floor.128Yancy I went to a summer school in Manchester. One day, the head master told us that our English teacher Maggie couldn’t teach that day because she had a frog in her throat. Why did she eat a frog? Then I learned that it means someone’s throat is dry or blocked. How funny!135Julien My British penfriend once told me that his grandfather was “wicked (邪恶的)”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very strange. Why did my friend use a bad word about such a nice man? Guess what? When speaking informally, “wicked” means “very nice”.70Zheng Xu I was part of a student exchange programme between a school in England and one in China. I knew I had done a good job writing my first English paper. But my teacher gave me “Not bad!” Not bad? There weren’t any mistakes! Actually, British peopl e use “not bad” when things are pretty good! I got a good comment!8521.Who posted the story about buying shoes?A. Sophie.B. Yancy.C. Julien.D. Zheng Xu.22.What happened to Maggie?A.She ate a frog.B.She had a dry throat.C.She lost her penfriend.D.She got a bad comment.23.What does Julien think of his penfriend’s grandfather?A. Strange.B. Funny.C. Strict.D. Nice.BDog’s Best FriendJarrett Little was road testing his mountain bike outside of Columbus, Georgia, when his riding partner, Chris Dixon, stopped suddenly. Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention. It turned out to be a sandy-colored five-month-old dog.“He was really thin, and had a broken leg,” Little told CBS News. The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water. They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them, although they had no idea how. They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes. “We couldn’t leave him,” Little said. “Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows, he was going to end up as alligator (短吻鳄) food.”Little, a 31-year-old business owner, had an idea. He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38-pound dog’s back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt. Then he placed the dog’s front legs over his shoulders.“He was hurt, so he wasn’t trying to fight,” Little says. “He was also happy th at we were there, touching him, and hadn’t taken off on him.”Their 30-minute ride into town ended at a bike store, where they got more water and food for the dog. “That was when Andrea Shaw, a company worker, happened by. The dog went straight to her, sme lling and “loving on her,” says Dixon. Shaw was touched and, after learning what had happened, decided to keep the dog.Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they’d met and planned an operation on his leg. Today, Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six-year-old boy to keep him company. As Dixon said, “He is really the luckiest dog alive.”24.Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing?A.She noticed something moving among the trees.B.She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest.C.She met some other riding partners by chance.D.She wanted to share some water with Little.25.What can we learn about the dog?A.He is unfriendly to people.B.He is kept happily on a farm.C.He weighed about 31 pounds.D.He ended up as alligator food.26.According to the passage, the dog’s best friend is .A. the alligatorB. the humanC. the horseD. CBS NewsCHave you ever wanted to sing on stage with Taylor Swift, or goto Mars? With the rise of virtual reality (虚拟现实), you might beable to do these things without even leaving your home. Unlike realreality, virtual reality means completely imaginary worlds, usinghigh-performance computers and special glasses and gloves.an example of VR technology Virtual Reality (VR) has been with us for many years – atleast as an idea. Although it’s hard to tell the father of this amazing technology, history suggests that it could have been the fruit of not one but five key people. First, Morton Heilig introduced users to 3D films. Then, there’s Jaron Lanier, the first person to use the term “Visual Reality”. Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse. Ivan Sutherland is the inventor of the first HMD and Myron Krueger, the audio wiz. Thanks to these inventors, the technology has now come of age. Users can virtually experience things they could only dream of. Virtual reality ischanging the way we communicate experiences in the same way the Internet has changed the way we communicate information.Indeed, VR has become a worldwide reality, with different types of applications ( 应用) from computer games to medicine, engineering, scientific research, and so on. For example, medical learners are able to train through VR in order to deal with all kinds of injuries. Designers can check every corner of their buildings and make preparations. And if you are heading to Mars, a trip in virtual reality can help you “see” what you will find before you get there.One recent example was a doctor who practiced an operation on a little baby’s heart. This enabled him to plan out his surgery ahead of time, and helped to save the baby.VR will make the world even smaller than it is now. It’s definitely going to bring us closer together.Like any technology, however, virtual reality has its negative effects. The first big danger is disconnection from the real world. Apart from this, too much use of VR equipment can create obvious physical and even mental (精神的) dangers. Loss of one’s sense of direction and position, sea sickness and headaches are among the signs of illness some experience after using virtual-reality equipment for long periods.This is an ongoing topic that people are arguing about.27.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A.VR is the result of a series of inventions and ideasB.VR is changing the way we communicate informationC.it has taken many years to come up with the idea of VRD.it is likely to discover what people dream about with VR28.According to the passage, VR can be used to .A.connect with real reality wellB.observe other planets in spaceC.help doctors practice operationsD.build houses without preparations29.The writer probably agrees that .A.VR is a door to the real worldB.VR is like a coin with two sidesC.VR is responsible for increasing mental problemsD.it is easier to communicate information through VR30.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.To keep it or to lose it?B.How can you imagine?C.Have you ever wanted?D.To agree or to disagree?DMost of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after.” And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.Every failure – even the worst ones – helps us learn to do things differently in the future. “Learning from th e past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully,” says mountaineer Pete Athans, who has now reached the world’s highest peak (山峰) seven times.Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong – sometimes with terrible results. Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks without extra oxygen (氧气). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche ( 雪崩). She survived, but two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is, bad things can still happen. But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly changing. In the past ten years, some scientific magazines –mostly in medicine –have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from “negative” results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn’t work.In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of Apple’s biggest failures. H owever, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential (潜力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.31.The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to .A.show how bad things can become important lessonsB.tell us that it’s possible for anyone to be successfulC.prove how bad things can happen in any situationD.teach us what not to do when climbing mountains32.The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A. unableB. unsureC. unwillingD. uninterested33.What is the passage mainly about?A.An attitude towards failure.B.The experience of success.C.A difficult way to success.D.The rewards of failure.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

"Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied.Then he started dumping some sand in the jar and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel.He asked the same question, "Is this jar full？""No!" the class shouted.Once again he said, "Good." Then he brought some water and began to pour （倒出）it in until the jar was filled to the top.Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration" One student raised his hand and said, "The pointis,no matter how full your timetable is,if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!""No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point.The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don't put the big rocks in first,you'll never get them in at all.What are the 'big rocks' in your life？Time with your loved ones,your study,your dreams,teaching or helping others.Remember to put these important things in first or you'll never get them in at all."24.Who is Mr.Brown______A.

Learning to put the important things ahead in life.CHasna Kourda grew up on an island in Tunisia where her grandmother taught her the strong values of looking after old things. "Clothes were reused and repurposed continuously," Kourda says.A large bag made from old clothes by her grandmother is still used by her parents today.Kourda has brought these values into a project that she hopes could change the relationship people have with their clothes- -and benefit the environment in the process.The clothing industry- from material sourcing （来源）to washing and waste- is considered to be responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions （碳排放），according to the UN.As the world races to meet its promises to limit carbon emissions to net zero by the middle of the century,the clothing industry has a huge job ahead of it to play its part.Kourda is among those who hope to help do that.Her way is to encourage people to go looking for new ways of using the clothing they already have rather than buying something new.Her company,Save Your Wardrobe,uses technology to help people go shopping in their own wardrobes.The company uses computer software to build a digital image of a user's wardrobe- people can either take pictures of clothes or allow Save Your Wardrobe to check their online shopping history.It then advises how to create new clothes as well as connecting users to repair and alteration （更改）services,and environmentally friendly dry cleaning.In October the company began to work with the German company Zalando,which will use Save Y our Wardrobe technology to offer customers aftercare for their clothes."The job," says Kourda,"is to use technology to guide users to reconnect with the clothes of their wardrobe and make the most out of it,finally encouraging them to buy less and better". Save Your Wardrobe is just one of a huge number of companies using new technology and different business models to try to overhaul （全面改革）the industry.From encouraging new ways of consuming clothes,to making it possible for clothes to be recycled at the end of their life,the clothing world could look very different by the time we reach 2045.27.What can we learn from Paragraph 1？______A. Kourda hoped to save money for her project.B. Kourda's family has valued old things in life.C. Kourda's grandma reused clothes to help others.D. Kourda's parents are too poor to buy new clothes.28.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about？______A. How Kourda's company helps to limit carbon emissions.B. Why Kourda runs her company Save Your Wardrobe.C. Why Kourda's company works with other companies.D. How Kourda teaches people to do online shopping.29.What might the writer probably agree？______A. People will stick to old traditions of consuming clothing.B. Customers might need less aftercare for their clothes soon.C. Save Your Wardrobe will create more clothes in the future.D. The clothing industry might be more environmentally friendly.DThe Teenager Brain Teenagers have always been known to do unusual,even dangerous things.This was thought to be because of the "foolishness of youth." Now,scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail.Their discoveries have led to a new theory （理论）of why teens act this way.A Work in ProgressRecently,scientists discovered that only during adolescence （青春期）do our brains truly"grow up".During this time,they go through great changes.These "changes" were once thought to be finished by about age 12.Now,scientists have found that our brains continue to change until age 25.Such changes make us better at balancing impulses （平衡冲动）with following rules.But a still-developing brain can hardly do this well.The result,scientists claim,is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.30.The studies show that teens are more likely to take risks （冒险）and behave in extreme ways.Luckily,the news isn't all negative.As brain scientist B.J.Casey points out,the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teens prepare for adult life.One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens look at risks andrewards.Researchers found that when teens think about rewards,their brains create more pleasure than an adult brain would.Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important than the risks,and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more than adults do.Research into the teen brain also found that it makes social connections seem especially rewarding.As such,teens have a strong need to meet new people.Scientists suggest this is because as teens,we begin to realize our friends may one day control the world we live in.Because it is still developing,a teen brain can change to deal with new situations.So,itconnects social rewards with more pleasure.In this way,the brain encourages teens to havea wide circle of friends,which is believed to make us more successful in life.A Finished BrainUnluckily,this search for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make baddecisions.However,it also means that teens are more likely,and less afraid,to try newthings or to be independent.The scientists' findings suggest that in the long run,theimpulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents' care and live their own lives successfully.（1）Which of the following about adolescent's brain is true？______A. It stops growing almost at twelve.B. It is going through a lot of changes.C. It does many things in a perfect way.D. It is better than an adult brain with rules. （2）Which could be the best heading forParagraph 3，4 & 5？______ A.Pleasure Explorers. B.Brain Researchers. C.Decision Makers. D.Future Planners.31.What does the word "keenly" in Paragraph 4 probably mean______A. Calmly.B. Slowly.C. Strongly.D. Strangely.32.What can we learn from the passage______A. The teenager brains are more likely to be dependent.B. The impulses of the teen brain may benefit teens' growth.C. The effect of teens' behavior in extreme ways is negative.D. The hope to control the world leads teens to meet new people.四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）33.Bob Smith,a National Teacher Award WinnerWhat does it take to win the hearts and minds of Grade 10 students Ask JennyFitchette,Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High,and you will get a warm reply："The number one thing is a good teacher."Jenny should know this well.Look at her timetable and you will find that she is studying the usual subjects of maths,English,biology and art this term.It's not so much the subjects that keep her coming to school each day.It's her biology teacher,Mr.Smith,who keeps hereager and ready to learn.So Jenny recently found time to finish a 1000-word paper in which she nominated （提名）her teacher,Mr.Bob Smith for the Teacher of the Year Award.Only students may nominate someone for the award."I can't really say why Mr.Smith is such a good teacher," says Jenny.

They say that in a film or on TV .We may see elephants, or monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return(作为回报) for doing them.

Switch off your devices （设备）at night．The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important just because ofa good night's sleep．27.We can learn from the passage that FOMO is ______ ．A. an unreasonable need to go out all the timeB. a result of using social media in a wise wayC. a fear of missing communication on social mediaD. a study on the ways of teenagers using social media28.What did the study in Wales show？______A. Teenagers are tired because they often stay up late．B. More and more teenagers are tired of schoolwork．C. Half of the teenagers wake up nearly every night．D. Using social media at night may cause anxiety．29.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？______A. To explain the relationship between FOMO and sleep．B. To encourage teenagers to deal with FOMO properly．C. To describe why teenagers don't get enough sleep．D. To show why FOMO happens a lot to teenagers．DThink back to when you were in a classroom，and the teacher set a difficult problem．Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted？A BOh no，this is too hard for me．I'm not evengoing to seriously try and work it out．Ah，this is a little difficult but I like to have atry．Maybe I'll learn something when trying．The psychologist （心理学家）Carol Dweck of Stanford University，did a test by giving some ten-year-old children problems that were a little hard for them．Group 1，who chose B，reacted positively，said they loved challenges and understood that their abilities could be developed．Professor Dweck says they had a "growth mindset （思维模式）"．And they cared more about what they can achieve in the future．However，group 2，who chose A，felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed．They had a "fixed mindset" and were unable to imagine improving．Some of these children said they might cheat in the future and look for someone who were worse than them，just to make themselves feel good．Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education．For years，teachers have praised children for their intelligence and talent．But this makes them get hurt easily from failure．They become performance-oriented （i．e．interested in getting high grades，not learning）．The right way，according to Dweck，is to praise the process that children are involved in：making an effort，using learning strategies （策略）and improving．This way they will become mastery-oriented （i．e．interested in getting better at something）and will achieve more．Psychologists have been testing these theories．Students were taught that if they left their comfort zone and learned something new and difficult，they'd be more intelligent．These students made faster progress than a control group．In another study，children from an underperforming （不佳的）school had trainings on their growth mindset techniques for a year．The results were staggering．They came top in tests，beating children from much betterschools．These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity，but they came to see it as the key to learning．So，back to our original question，if you answered B，well done - you already have a growth mindset．If A，don't worry；everyone is able to become mastery-oriented with a little effort and self-awareness．30.What can we learn from Carol's test in Paragraph 2？______A. Group 2 cheated in the test．B. Group 1 had good imagination．C. Group 2 felt confident after the test．D. Group 1 liked challenging problems．31.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？______A.

In the U．S．，tornadoes （龙卷风）are responsible for 80 deaths and more than 1，500 injuries each year．Although they happen very often，tornadoes are difficult topredict．Why？Tornadoes develop from storms，but only some storms can become tornadoes．Meteorologists （气象学家）don't know where and when a storm will touch the ground and turn into a tornado．Today，the warning time for a tornado is usually just 13 minutes．Tim Samaras is a tornado chaser．His job is to find tornadoes and followthem．When he gets close to a tornado，he puts a special tool on the ground．This tool measures things like temperature，humidity，and wind speed of atornado．With this information，Samaras can learn what causes tornadoes todevelop．If meteorologists understand this，they can warn people about tornadoes sooner and save lives．How does Samaras hunt tornadoes？It's not easy．First，he has to findone．Tornadoes are too small to see using weather satellites （卫星）．So Samaras can't just depend on these tools to find one．Instead he waits for tornadoes todevelop．Every May and June，Samaras drives about 40，000 kilometers （25，000 miles）across an area known as Tornado Alley，looking and hoping to find a tornado．Once Samaras sees a tornado，the chase begins．But a tornado is hard tofollow．Some tornadoes change direction several times-for example，moving eastand then west and then east again．When Samaras finally gets near a tornado，heputs his special tool on the ground．Being this close to a tornado isfrightening．There is rubbish flying in the air．The wind is blowing at highspeed．He must get away quickly．The work is risky，even for a skilled chaser like Samaras．But danger won't stop his hunt for the perfect storm．When did South Dakota experience 67 tornadoes in one day？______How long is the warning time usually for a tornado？______What does Tim Samaras do？______Where does Samaras go every May and June？______Why is it hard for Samaras to hunt tornadoes？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）35.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于 50

Your mother and I decided long ago that if we can make a difference in just one person’s life after we die, our death will have meaning.” He went on to explain they had both decided to donate their organs(器官).The lesson my father taught me that day became one of the most important in my life.Years passed.

She was only fourteen years old------the same age at which I was introduced to such a thing. What a difference! My father died on April 11,1986, and we donated his eyes as he had wanted.

My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(压垮) with the responsibilities(责任) of earning a living, caring for the children andsimply______________.I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（紧迫的）liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see Germanracing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.Monday morning I let him out for a r un while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.1．How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?A．One day. B．Two days.C．Three days. D．Four days.2．What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?A．trying to keep calm in publicB．trying to get attention from other menC．showing her high spirit in the face of troubleD．managing to continue to live3．When the author’s husband died, ______.A．she couldn’t raise the six children on her ownB．she couldn’t relax on the weekendsC．The housekeeper only came on weekendsD．she was too busy to feel lonely4．Which of the following is Wrong according to the article?A．German was fond of living with the family.B．The writer felt safe and protected with German around.C．The dog stayed until the writer was strong enough to go on alone.D．The writer was too busy that weekend to go find the dog’s owner.5．Which is the best title for the passage?A．A homeless dog B．A friend’s strengthC．How to keep a dog D．Keep up when in troubleF18、When I was 14, I left school with learning disabilities and decided to surf the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii. One morning, I met an old man, a bum, on the street corner. He asked me if I wasrunning away from home. I to ld him, “Not exactly, sir, because my father had given me a ride to the train station and said, “ It is important to follow your dream, son.”After talking for a while, he told me that he had something to show me and share with me. We walked several blocks until we reached a public library.The bum asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. Later he returned with some old books and sat beside me. Then he said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book b y its cover, for a cover can fool you. I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you?” I said, “I guess so, sir.”“Well, young man, I've got a little surprise for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But a year ago, when my wife passed away, I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. Number two is to learn how to read, for there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom（智慧）. ”At that moment, he gave me the books he’d pulled from the shelves.The bum took me back to the street where we first met. He asked me never to forget what he taught me when we left each other.1．The boy________________ when he was 14.A．liked running B．left schoolC．did well in study D．traveled around the world2．The underlined word “bum” means a person who is __________.A．homeless and poor B．rich and generousC．kind and wise D．unlucky and mean3．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Wisdom is one thing that people can’t take away from you.B．The bum asked the writer to read some old books in the library.C．The bum’s hope was t o have different kinds of experiences in life.D．The writer’s father supported his choice of following his dream.4．The best title of this passage probably is __________.A．Follow Your Dream B．an Important LessonC．Never Judge a Book by Its Cover D．Wisdom is ImportantⅤ.书面表达19、校园生活是丰富多彩，同学们来正兴学校快一年了。

Columbus，Georgia，when his riding partner，Chris Dixon，stopped suddenly．Something nearby moving among the trees had caught her attention．It turned out to be a sandy﹣colored five﹣month﹣old dog．"He was really thin，and had a broken leg，" Little told CBS News．The cyclists fed the friendly dog and shared their water．They also quickly realized that the dog was coming with them，although they had no idea how．They were more than seven miles from downtown and riding bikes．"We couldn't leave him，" Little said．"Out there next to the Oxbow Meadows，he was going to end up as alligator （短吻鳄）food．"Little，a 31﹣year﹣old business owner，had an idea．He carefully picked up his new friend and put the 38﹣pound dog's back legs into the pockets of his cycling shirt．Then he placed the dog's front legs over his shoulders．"He was hurt，so he wasn't trying to fight，" Little says．"He was also happy that we were there，touching him，and hadn't taken off on him．"Their 30﹣minute ride into town ended at a bike store，where they got more water and food for the dog．"That was when Andrea Shaw，a company worker，happened by．The dog went straight to her，smelling and "loving on her，" says Dixon．Shaw was touched and，after learning what had happened，decided to keep the dog．Shaw called him Columbo after the town where they'd met and planned an operation on his leg．Today，Columbo is living the high life on a farm with a horse and a six﹣year﹣old boy to keep him company．As Dixon said，"He is really the luckiest dog alive．"（1）Why did Dixon stop suddenly during the road testing？A．She noticed something moving among the trees．B．She had cycled seven miles and wanted to rest．C．She met some other riding partners by chance．D．She wanted to share some water with Little．（2）What can we learn about the dog？A．He is unfriendly to people．B．He is kept happily on a farm．C．He weighed about 31 pounds．D．He ended up as alligator food．（3）According to the passage，the dog's best friend is．A．the alligatorB．the humanC．the

even leaving your home．Unlike real reality，virtual reality means completely imaginary worlds，using high﹣performance computers and special glasses and gloves．Virtual Reality（VR）has been with us for many years ﹣at least as an idea．Although it's hard to tell the father of this amazing technology，history suggests that it could have been the fruit of not one but five key people．First，Morton Heilig introduced users to 3D films．Then，there's Jaron Lanier，the first person to use the term "Visual Reality"．Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse．Ivan Sutherland is the inventor of the first HMD and Myron Krueger，the audio wiz．Thanks to these inventors，the technology has now come of age．Users can virtually experience things they could only dream of．Virtual reality is changing the way we communicate experiences in the same way the Internet has changed the way we communicate information．Indeed，VR has become a worldwide reality，with different types of applications（应用）from computer games to medicine，engineering，scientific research，and so on．For example，medical learners are able to train through VR in order to deal with all kinds of injuries．Designers can check every corner of their buildings and make preparations．And if you are heading to Mars，a trip in virtual reality can help you "see" what you will find before you get there．One recent example was a doctor who practiced an operation on a little baby's heart．This enabled him to plan out his surgery ahead of time，and helped to save the baby．VR will make the world even smaller than it is now．It's definitely going to bring us closer together．Like any technology，however，virtual reality has its negative effects．The first big danger is disconnection from the real world．Apart from this，too much use of VR equipment can create obvious physical and even mental （精神的）dangers．Loss of one's sense of direction and position，sea sickness and headaches are among the signs of illness some experience after using virtual﹣reality equipment for long periods．This is an ongoing topic that people are arguing about．（1）We can learn from Paragraph 2 that．A．VR is the result of a series of inventions and ideasB．VR is changing the way we communicate informationC．it has taken many years to come up with the idea of VRD．it is likely to discover what people dream about with VR（2）According to the passage，VR can be used to．A．connect with real reality wellB．observe other planets in spaceC．help doctors practice operationsD．build houses without preparations（3）The writer probably agrees that．A．VR is a door to the real worldB．VR is like a coin with two sidesC．VR is responsible for increasing mental problemsD．it is easier to communicate information through VR（4）Which would be the best title for the passage？A．To keep it or to lose it？B．How can you imagine？C．Have you ever wanted？D．To agree or to disagree？17．Most of us fear failure．However，without failure，progress would be impossible．In fact，the word success comes from the Latin succedere，meaning "to come after．"And what does success usually come after？Failure．It seems thatone cannot exist without the other．Every failure ﹣even the worst ones ﹣helps us learn to do things differently in the future．"Learning from the past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully，" says mountaineer Pete Athans，who has now reached the world's highest peak （山峰）seven times．Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong ﹣sometimes with terrible results．Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world's 8，000﹣meter peaks without extra oxygen（氧气）．In 2007，while climbing in Nepal，she was in an avalanche（雪崩）．She survived，but two nearby Spanish climbers died．The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is，bad things can still happen．But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on．Accepting failure is not easy for many，though．We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures because our good name depends on success．However，things are slowly changing．In the past ten years，some scientific magazines ﹣mostly in medicine ﹣have published reports of failed experiments．The belief is that the science community can also learn from "negative" results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes．The business world already understands the value of negative results．Eli Lilly and Company has failure parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work．In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes．In the early 1990s，Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton．It was one of Apple's biggest failures．However，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed the product had potential （潜力）and he began to improve it．In time，this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products．The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure．There is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes．Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin．One truly cannot exist without the other．（1）The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to．A．show how bad things can become important lessonsB．tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successfulC．prove how bad things can happen in any situationD．teach us what not to do when climbing mountains（2）The underlined word "reluctant" in Paragraph 4 probably means ""．A．unableB．unsureC．unwillingD．uninterested（3）What is the passage mainly about？A．An attitude towards failure．B．The experience of success．C．A difficult way to success．D．The rewards of failure．阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．18．Chinese Fancy KnotsChinese fancy knots，also called Chinese knots，refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture．They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China，and became popular in the Ming Dynasty．Long ago，they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries，and were well received there．Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols （标志）of Chinese culture．As for the name itself，it is surely meaningful．The Chinese word for "knot"，jie，means "connection"．It is related to lots of cultural ideas ﹣marriage，brotherhood，reunion，etc．Meanwhile，the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji，"good luck"．As a result，Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people's strong wishes for good things like joy，love and good luck．Besides，the knots，widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture，come in different sizes．Small ones are connected to jewellery （珠宝），clothes，gift﹣packages and furniture in order to attract people's attention，while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study．Whether large or small，there are over a dozen basic knot patterns （图案），named according to their shapes，usages or origins．For example，Double Coin Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins，meaning "good things come in pairs"．However，almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly similar parts，and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail．In addition，Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours．Each of the Chinese knots is made of a single string of cotton，silk，old or silver．But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional cultural meanings．Among the most commonly used base colours，red means good luck and happiness，green means health，and yellow，which was once known as a emperor's colour，may means wealth and honour．In brief，the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect （反映）the depth of Chinese culture．These brightly coloured knots of different patterns，with their endless chains of knots，mean that life on earth will continue forever．（1）When did Chinese fancy knots become popular？（2）What does
