On a late-winter weekend, my dad needed to use a car-any car-since the family vehicle was being repaired in the garage. So Grand
9、pa offered him the use of the Dodge.Later, my brother Tim borrowed the car from Dad as he wanted to go to a friends home. He spied an old country lane (小路）that he had taken once or twice during the past summer as a short cut to his friends home. A covering of snow lay across the farmers fields throu
10、gh which the lane wound. But Tim was confident that he could go off-roading without difficulty. So he turned the Dodge into the old lane.However, the melted water from the previous mild days had flooded the nearby Raritan River. The old lane was now acting as a branch of the river. This was not imme
11、diately visible due to the fact that the river water had frozen during the night and the ice was topped with snow. Tim didnt realize the situation until the two back wheels of the car broke through the invisible ice and plunged（陷入）into water up to the trunk (后备箱）。 He had to call Dad for help.An hour
12、 and a half later, the car was finally pulled onto dry land. Tim and Dad took one look at the muddy vehicle and sent it straight to the local car wash. They drove the car back just half an hour before Grandpa came, and made an agreement to tell Grandpa nothing about the cars unexpected adventure.Vis
13、ibly impressed by the Dodges shining condition, Grandpa thanked my dad while unlocking the trunk to put his suitcase. Lifting the door, Grandpa saw the muddy water inside. Ah, Dave. . . said Grandpa to Dad in a fairly calm voice. Is there something you should be telling me about? Immediately Tim ran

17、o comfort Grandpa. D. Deal with the unpleasant situation.C To achieve the greatest success, you have to accept and love failure. The sweetest victory is the one thats the most difficult to achieve. Society doesnt reward defeat, and you wont find many failures documented in history books. The excepti
18、ons are those failures that become stepping stones to later success. Such is the case with Thomas Edison, whose most memorable invention was the light bulb. It took him 1, 000 tries before he developed a successful light bulb.To many people in our success-driven society, failure isnt just considered
19、 a non-option-its considered a deficiency（缺陷）。 But it is lifes greatest teacher. When we take a closer look at the great thinkers throughout history, a willingness to take on failure isnt a new thought at all. From the likes of Augustine, Darwin and Freud to the business mavericks (持不同意见者）and sports
20、 legends of today, failure is as powerful a tool as any factor in reaching great success.In todays economy, some employers are no longer shying away from failure. Instead, theyre embracing it. According to a recent article in Business Week, many companies are seeking out those with track records ref
21、lecting both failure and success. They believe that those people have valuable experience and perseverance（毅力）。 Theyre veterans of failure. Many companies think that great success depends on great risk, and failure is simply a common by-product. Executives of such companies dont feel sad about their
22、 mistakes, making use of them for future gains instead. The same holds true for personal quest, whether in overcoming some specific challenges or reaching your full potential in all parts of life. To achieve your personal best, to reach heights and to make the impossible possible, you cant dread fai
23、lure, you must think big, and you have to push yourself.28. Thomas Edisons story mainly tells us that A. society doesnt reward defeat B. failure is the mother of success C. great people also make mistakes D. only the great minds can invent things29. Why does the writer mention Augustine, Darwin and
24、Freud?A. To tell about some great people in history.B. To tell us how to reach great success easily.C. To prove some people succeed for a reason.D. To show great thinkers accept failure willingly.30. What does the underlined word dread in the last paragraph mean? A. Fear. B. Defeat. C. Demand. D. Re
25、move. 31. The writer most probably wants to show that .A. not everyone can succeed B. failure is good for success C. everyone experiences failure D. society doesnt reward defeat D As parents, we all have expectations for our kids. For many of us, it seems like those expectations dont matter at all.
26、But it turns out that our expectations have a powerful effect on our childrens behavior. To explain just how powerful, let me begin by telling you a classic study on rats. In the study, undergraduates came into a lab and were given one of two types of white rats. Over the course of a week, they were
27、 asked to train the rats to run around a maze(迷宫). Half of the students were told that they would receive bright rats and the other half would receive dull rats. Overall, the bright rats did run around the maze more successfully than the dull rats by the end of the experiment. Sounds pretty unsurpri
28、sing, right? What if I told you that there were no actual differences between the rats? The researchers concluded that because the undergraduates had different expectations for the rats, they handled the rats differently. But what does this have to do with kids? It turns out that the same researcher
29、s found similar effects on kids. They gave some children in different elementary school classrooms an IQ test at the beginning of the school year. They then told the teachers that about 20% of kids in each classroom were expected to “bloom”over the school year. The fact was that the 20% of children
30、identified as “bloomers” were chosen at random. Nonetheless (尽管如此，然而) , at the end of the school year, the “bloomers” were actually performing better and showed increases in IQ. Much more recent research proves these findings. Im sure youve heard somewhere that boys perform better than girls at math
31、 in school. You can imagine that if IQ can be affected by a teachers expectations, math skills should be no different. So its possible that one reason we see boys are better than girls is that for years, we expect them to do worse. And in fact， in a recent study, researchers reported that the more m
32、others thought that boys were better than girls at math, the worse their daughters felt about their own math ability.32. In what way did the undergraduates carry out the study on rats?A. They observed different rats behavior in the lab.B. They trained the rats to run around a maze to see the result.
33、C. They distinguished “bright” rats and “dull” rats.D. They recorded the differences between the two groups of rats.33. In the study of students,_.A. the study was carried out among middle school studentsB. the teachers were responsible for watching students performanceC. an IQ test was given at the
34、 beginning and the end of the school yearD. about 20% of the students had lower scores in the IQ test34. What may be the reason why boys do better at math than girls?A. Boys usually do more math exercises than girls.B. Girls bear more pressure from parents and teachers.C. Boys usually have a higher
35、IQ than girls.D. Boys are expected to do better than girls for years.35. From the text. we can imagine that_.A. if parents force their girls to study math, they may get an opposite resultB. if parents have more expectations for their boys, they love boys moreC. if we believe in others and encourage
36、them to do better, they can do betterD. if we pray for good exam results in advance, it will come true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。 Phone addiction has a number of negative effects.
