Mr Proctor jumped out of a plane for the first time at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough, more than 70 years after he joined the RAF.Mr Proctor, who has two artificial hips (臀部) and a false knee, jumped more than 13,000 feet to successfully complete his first ever freefall jump.He said, “I'v e spent a lot of my life up in the air but this was a completely different experience. It was a nightmare trying to open up the hatches (舱口) and jump out of the plane back then, but I am so glad I have managed to complete the jump and I would love to do it again in the near future.”Mr Proctor joined the RAF in 1942 and he was stationed in Durban, South Africa, to do his training before being sent to Zimbabwe where he earned his wings.

Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 2.________When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain —the Mesopotam ian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 3.________ Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.4.________ Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.The differences are everywhere. 5.________ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.C.And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.D.At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.E.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.G.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.Ⅲ.完形填空(2016·郑州市毕业预测)Do you know that body language accounts for over 90% of a conversation?

Having been failed so many times in math exams, I was anxious about the subject. Every time I tried hardly to work out a math problem, I was afraid of making mistakes, that really made me feel helpless. Luckily, I met a nice math teacher in second year. She told me that I didn't need to worry about making mistakes because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistake. She always encouraged myself to try again whenever I make a mistake. Thanks to my teacher's encouragement, I became interesting in math and made rapid progress. My experience proves that failure was the mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.高考题型提能练(十八)Ⅰ.1．解析：选A 细节理解题。

第一周周练习阅读+完形181.阅读理解An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn't walk steadily (平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" The boy answered, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up." The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so hard that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks (脸颊). Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.（1）Why was the old man's food served in a wooden bowl?A.Because the wooden bowl was light enough.B.Because the old man had broken a few bowls.C.Because there was only a wooden bowl left.D.Because the son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man.（2）The word "struck" in Paragraph 3 refers to.A.annoyedB.worriedC.scaredD.shocked（3）What's the best title of the passage?A.An Old Man and His SonB.A Couple and Their SonC.A Wooden BowlD.A Dinner Table【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）C【解析】一位老人去和他的儿子、儿媳，还有四岁的孙子住在一起。

AI have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(养马场). He has let me use his house to put on fund-r aising events. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you a story. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.“That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a not e that read, ‘See me after class.’“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’ The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’ ”Monty then turned to the group present and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two years agothat same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage not to give up yours.’ ”“Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what,” Monty at last concluded.1. The teacher asked the boy to rewrite the paper because __________.A. the boy was too poor to achieve his dreamB. the teacher doubted his chance of successC. the boy was not good enough to achieve his goalD. the teacher looked down on the boy absolutely2. Which of the following could best express the teacher’s feelings when she said the words beforeleaving the ranch two years ago?A. Regretful and proud.B. Regretful and guilty.C. Honest and sorry.D. Embarrassed and proud.3. From the passage we can conclude that __________.A. the boy was an unrealistic personB. the boy’s father was irresponsibl e for his educationC. the boy had great courage and determinationD. the teacher often found fault with his students4. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Set a practical goalB. Try to be realisticC. Prove yourself through successD. Keep your dream这篇短文通过一个故事告诉我们,不论做什么事，相信你自己，别让别人的一句话将你击倒。

Pottery can be large or small, fancy or plain. Pottery is part of the large family of ceramics （陶器）.Ceramics are synthetic materials. For example, bricks and tiles （瓦片） are both ceramics.How is pottery made? First, a potter takes some clay. Clay is a soft, red material from the earth. It looks a little like red dirt, but it's very different. Clay is thick and rich. Wet clay can be worked into any shape. When the clay dries, it will keep that shape. The potters takes some clay and pushes and squeeze（s 挤压）it until it is soft and smooth. After that, the clay can be shaped into anything. There are several ways to shape clay. Sometimes potters use their hands. Sometimes they use a special wheel. They place the clay in the center of a round, flat wheel. The wheel moves very fast, and the potter shapes the clay. After the potter has shaped the clay, it can be decorated（装饰）. Potters use glaze, which is a kind of paint, to decorate their work. Some glazes are very simple. Other glazes have beautiful colors and designs. The glaze is not just beautiful. It is also useful. The glaze makes the pottery smooth and waterproof. Potters also make some decorative lines and designs on the surface. After it is decorated, the clay must be baked, or fired, in a special oven.Baking the clay at very high temperature makes it hard and strong. Firing also makes the glaze stick to the pottery. When the firing is over, the potter carefully removes the pottery from the oven and lets it cool slowly. If it cools too quickly, it could crack and break.Since pottery is waterproof, it is very popular for dishes. You can find examples of pottery in almost any home. But pottery can also be found in museums. Some pieces of pottery are valuable and beautiful pieces of art.56. It is possible that ceramics are materials of _____ .A. metalB. plasticC. woodD. earth57. The word "waterproof" means ______ .A.能盛水的B.防水的C.溶解于水的D.吸水性强的58. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Plates, water pots and bowls are all examples of pottery.B. Wet clay can be made into anything of different shapes by the hands or a special wheel.C. The clay bees smooth and waterproof because of the glaze.D. After the firing in high temperature, pottery is easy to break.（B）People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles, pushing your shopping cart. You probably hear soft, slow music in the supermarket. This kind of music is playing to relax you and make you walk slowly. Thus, you will probably stay longer and buy more food.Where do you go in the supermarket when you first arrive? Many people go to the meat section first. This area of the store has many different kinds of meat. Some kinds are expensive and others are not. Usually, some kinds of meat are on sale. So it has a special low price. The manager of the store knows where the customers usually enter the meat section. The meat on sale is usually at the other end of thesection, away from where the customers enter. If you want to buy this specially priced meat, you have to walk by the more expensive meat first. Maybe you will see something that you want to buy before you reach the cheaper, inexpensive meat. Then you will spend more money in the meat section.The diary section sells milk that is low in fat. Some supermarkets sell three different containers （包装盒）of low-fat milk. Each container looks different, but each contains the same product. One says "1% fat", one says "99% fat free" and one says "low-fat" in big letters and "1%"in very small letters. If you look carefully you can see that all the milk has the same amount of fat, and each container is the same size. The prices of all these three should be the same. However, in many stores these three containers of milk would each have a different price. The store will make more money if a customer chooses the milk that costs the most.Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. People often stop to look at the products in attractive containers. But remember, many products will say, "Buy me!". Stop and think which ones are the best value for your money.59. The word "aisles" in the first paragraph means _____ .A. the entrance of a supermarketB. the place where you pay for your goodsC. the way between the shelvesD. the place where the special priced meat is on sale.60. When you walk by the expensive meat, _____ .A. maybe you will buy someB. you will not look at itC. you will buy diary productsD. maybe it is on sale61. The three different kinds of low-fat milk _____ .A. contain three different amount of milkB. contain three different kinds of milkC. each have the same amount of fatD. are all the same price62. Supermarket managers make the food attractive so _____ .A. it is cheapB. the customers will buy moreC. it is expensiveD. it is in the diary section（C）American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects no matter they are wealthier or not than he.Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself. If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear. The idea of a bank account（在银行开户） is too early for so small a child, although he can be made understand and enjoy saving his coins-not all of them, only a part of what he receives-to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account, parents may takehim to the bank, open a saving account for him, and encourage him to put a certain quantity（数量）of money he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank saving grow as entry by entry（存入）is made. He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends. The boy is a sorry child who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown projects his parents have chosen for him.63. What does the underlined word "piggy bank" refer to? A. Something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.B. A kind of bank run by the children.C. A bank whose building looks like a pig.D. A bank for children's saving.64. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by American parents.B. If an eight-year-old child receive 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he probably have most of it saved in the bank.C. American parents never interfere（干涉） with their children's use of their pocket money.D. American parents don't usually give their children much pocket money.65. Why does the author think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns? A. Because he can not manage his money and it keeps him in an unfavorable position.B. Because he can not learn the use of money through spending it himself.C. Because he can not have any other choice but to save, earn or spend money.D. Because he can not join the fellow in a sweet shop once in while.V. 短文改错（每小题1 分，共10 分）It was time for breakfast.

The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, , is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a se cret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethio pians for the U.S. tour, which will start in next September.“Ethiopia's rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and .

The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result. Stanford University professo r Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.” Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 4 0 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic — you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regar ds failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it's qui ck to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other band, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Be cause the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again. In f act, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers and instructors often push us into fixed min d-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many lit tle thingsyou can start doing today to make sure that your children, gr andchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.25. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don't do well at school.B. They are often misund erstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.26. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ______.A. doesn't want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers27. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. Talent comes with one's birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.28. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck 's study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.完形填空He has been called the "missing link." Half-man, half-beast.
