It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger. As I climbed out of the 36 , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone. I saw the bright smiles of swimmers who had just 37 a best time. 38 , I had failed. Or at least that is what I thought at the time.
I was lying on my cool bed when an idea 39 me. Success is the 40 to go from failure to failure without losing your 41 . At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a 42 similar response like, “You can’t do it” or “Probably not”. Believe it or not, these are the responses that make my goal 43 .
Finally came the day when I had to 44 to myself and others that with 45 there is no limit to your achievements.
With the starting gun 46 , I dived with perfect form into the pool. I felt the cool water running 47 my back. I swam like a fish, bouncing off each 48 at the wall as if it was a spring board. On the 49 turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had. I 50 the final wall with my fingertips and I knew that I had swum the 51 race.
I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my 52 like water does a cup. I saw the 53 on all of my friend’s face as I 54 out of the pool; their jaws dropped to the ground. I began to laugh and gave them the thumbs up.
I have 55 in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates. Never forget that anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.

解析
试题分析：我练习100米自由泳，队友们都认为我不会成功。而我相信自己的实力。终于有一天，证明自己的时机到了。我认为自信是开启成功大门的钥匙。只要想就没有做不了的事。
小题1:考查名词辨析。pond池塘； sea海洋； pool游泳池，水塘； river河流。根据下文I told my swimming teammates about my goal time可知作者是在游泳，所以应该是是作者爬出游泳池。当我爬出游泳池时，在我目睹了100码的自由泳后，我不想和任何人说话。故选C。
小题2:考查的是动词辨析。make制造； achieve达到，完成； reach够到，延伸； realize实现，意识到。我看见达到最好时刻的游泳者脸上的微笑。故选B。
小题3:考查的是副词辨析。otherwise否则； however可是，表示转折； besides此外； overall总得说来。根据上文看见的是胜利者的脸上的微笑，下文是转折，作者失败了，故选B。
小题4:考查固定句式。an idea occured to me 一个想法出现在我的脑海里；break 打破；come来；hit打击。一个想法突然出现在脑海里。
小题5:考查的名词词义辨析。成功就是在多次失败中而没有失去这种热情的能力。opportunity机会； action行动；cause原因；ability能力。将四个选项带入本句分析，D最符合语境。
小题6:考查的是名词辨析。成功就是在多次失败中而没有失去这种热情的能力。enthusiasm热情； interest兴趣；strength力气；friendship友谊。根据对成功的理解和上下文的理解，故选A。
小题7:考查的是副词辨析。第二天在练习时，,我告诉我的队友对我的目标时间游泳,他们有着相似的回答：笑或者说：“你不行”。somehow不知怎么地；somewhat有点； anyhow无论如何；anywhere任何地方。根据下文的意思选B。
小题8:考查的是形容词的词义辨析。信不信由你，正是这些回答使我达到了我的目标。available 有效的，可得到的；reasonable合理的；reliable 可靠的，可信赖的；achievable 可达到的。根据最后一段I had achieved my best time!故选D。
小题9:考查的是动词词义辨析及语境。向我自己和他人证明的那一天终于来了。promise答应、许诺；provide 提供； present 呈现；prove证明。根据上下文的意思，故选D。本句是完全倒装，came是谓语，the day 是主语，when引导了一个定语从句。
小题10:考查的是名词辨析及语境理解。带着这样的信念：没有什么能限制你的成功。consideration 考虑；impression 印象； belief 信念； desire想要、渴望。C最符合语境。

小题14:考查的是形容词词义辨析及语境。在最后的转弯处，我拼尽全力游回到泳池墙边。next下一个；previous 以前的；very正是；last 最后的。结合前文判断是最后一个，故选D。
小题15:考查的是动词词义辨析及语境。我用我的脚尖触摸终点墙。pushed 推；reached 到达；got 得到；touched 触摸。结合语境选D。
小题16:考查的是形容词词义辨析及语境。我知道我游出了完美的比赛。whole整个的；perfect 完美的；first第一个；best 最好的。best 是干扰项，没有比较范围就没有最好之说，根据前面的描述应该是作者的表现完美无缺，故选B。
小题17:考查的是名词词义辨析及语境。快乐充满了我的心就像水充满了水杯一样。heart 心脏；head 头；mind 精神；mood 情绪。根据后半句选择heart意为：心里充满欢乐，故选A。

To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, as Jennifer Lawrence has, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this year"s Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine"s Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who "lends a mature intelligence to any role".
Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasn"t sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14. She thought she"d go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.
Lawrence"s two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜).
"I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this," Lawrence said. "Within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didn"t want to be a model. In fact, I wanted to be an actress." Having appreciated this young lady"s performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career.
Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest-grossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America".
小题1:What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 3?| A．Her parents were really strict with her. | | B．She seemed not to fit in with her school days well. | | C．Her school performance made her today"s fame. | | D．Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects. |
小题2: Lawrence made up her mind to be an actress because of ______. | A．a model interview | | B．her brothers" examples | | C．the taxi-ride to her hotel room | | D．the beautiful scenery of New York |
小题3:From the text we can know that Lawrence is an actress of great ______. | A．confidence | B．ambition | C．independence | D．talent |
小题4:What is the best title of the text? | A．Choosing Right | B．Acting Wisely | | C．Winning Young | D．Following Dreams |

DEAR AMY: Last year I got a full-time job as a baby-sitter for a wonderful family with two amazing kids. They have come to treat me as one of their own. But my boyfriend and I are attempting to save much more money for the life we want to build, including marriage, a house and kids. Much as I love my “babies,” I’m looking forward to beginning a challenging career in a big company. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job? I don’t want to find one that requires me to begin work immediately, leaving them without child care, but I also don’t want them to assume that I’m leaving right away.

On Jan 23, 2012, I was aboard a ship on the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of fireworks and eating plate after plate of dumplings.
On Sunday Feb 10, 2013, I was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year again – in London’s Chinatown.
It was raining. It was cold. But ever since I left Beijing in August, I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year – if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.
Central London was dressed up for the occasion. There was a stage for a big fireworks display for the evening. Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing chunjie.
Even buying a baozi didn’t cheer me up. It cost about 10 times as much as the real thing does in Beijing and got stuck to its rain-ruined paper bag.
Cold, wet and depressed, I ran into a shop for shelter. Suddenly, there it was. Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.
An hour later, I hurried into my house with bags of frozen jiaozi, packets of sauce and a large bottle of vinegar. I boiled water, tore open the packets, grabbed my chopsticks and settled down to a feast. This, I thought, is a Happy Chinese New Year.
I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?
小题1: We can conclude from the first three paragraphs that the author ______.| A．likes watching fireworks on the boat | | B．misses Chinese food more than anything else | | C．finds it great fun to celebrate Chinese New Year | | D．misses her life in Beijing very much |
小题2:How did the author feel when she found some Chinese foods in a supermarket?| A．a little curious | B．rather tired | | C．a bit comfortable | D．very depressed |
小题3:Why did the author watch the fireworks on TV?| A．She didn’t want to get wet and cold again. | | B．The square is far away from where she lives. | | C．She doesn’t like fireworks very much. | | D．She was too hungry to go out. |
小题4:What is the best title of the passage? | A．Unforgettable Chunjie in Beijing | B．Wonderful Experience in Britain | | C．Finding Home in London | D．Festival in London |

But bits and pieces of online cannot 44 a “real conversation.” Lan Guo, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University, said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a conversation. “The give and take of 45 in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that 46 ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangers and 47 people.
Turkle mentioned the popular 48 of “I share, therefore I am.” among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s an attitude 49 by most young people. They are 50 busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格) that they forget how to live a 51 life.

Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth & Children Research Center, points out that 53 is still owners of tools who’re avoiding personal contact. We take advantage of these devices to hide ourselves from others. Texting messages or calling may be a(n) 54 to avoid contact with others, such as having eye contact. “Only by strengthening conversation can we understand each other. 55 throwing away the mobile phones is not a solution.” she said.
