完形填空(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why. First of all, mistakes are a clear 36 that you are trying new things.It’s always 37 to try new things because when you are trying new things you are 38 .If you never try anything new, how can you 39 ? The simple answer is “You can’t”.With few exceptions, every single detail of development is the 40 of someone trying something new. When you are making mistakes, you are 41 .Edison failed 10,000 times before he 42 the light bulb.When asked how it felt to 43 that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t 44 . Finally, when you make a mistake you are much 45 to success.Why ? When all is done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed. 46 you make a mistake you eliminate (排除) one of those things and are one step closer. But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead 47 considering the consequences of a mistake.Quite the contrary, when you try something new, you 48 be willing to set some reasonable limits, so that in the event that it doesn’t 49 the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again. We all have 50 resources in time and money, so don’t blow them all on one 51 to a problem.Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time, and allocate (分配) these resources properly so you can learn, 52 corrections, and try it again.Only by 53 and using your mistakes in this way, can you make significant 54 in your business or career. As an old saying goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go 55 and make mistakes.And learn.And grow.And succeed.

解析
试题分析:本文叙述了犯错是大有裨益的,原因有以下几点:首先,错误清楚地表明你正在尝试新鲜事物。其次犯错的过程也正是你学习的过程。最后一点,犯错之前正是你更为接近成功之日。有句古话说:“如果你没犯错误,就说明你没有尽力。”所以,勇往直前,去犯错误吧。然后学习、成长,最后成功。 小题1:考查名词及上下文的呼应。word单词; sign迹象,符号; mark 标志; signature签名。错误清楚地表明你正在尝试新鲜事物。故选B。 小题2:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。interesting有趣的; funny滑稽的;bad 坏的; good好的。尝试新事物总是好的,故选D。 小题3:考查名词及上下文的呼应。working工作; failing失败; growing 成长; playing玩。因为你会在这一过程中不断成长。故选C。 小题4:考查动词及上下文的呼应。improve进步,提高; study学习; insist坚持; think认为。如果从不尝试任何新鲜事物,你怎么能进步?故选A。 小题5:考查名词及上下文的呼应。progress进步; result 结果; strength力气;experiment实验。几乎无一例外,你在客观世界看到的每一件事,或是每一件事的每一个细节都是有人在尝试事物的结果。故选B。 小题6:考查动词及上下文的呼应。learning学习; correcting改正; doing做; promising答应。犯错的过程也正是你学习的过程。故选A。 小题7:考查动词及上下文的呼应。broke 打破; perfected完美,改进,熟练; designed 设计;bought买。爱迪生在改进电灯泡前失败了一万次。故选B。 小题8:考查动词及上下文的呼应。succeed成功; invent发明; fail失败;struggle奋斗。当被问到失败那么多次,感觉如何时,爱迪生说自己并没有失败一万次,而是获知了一万个并不奏效的事物。故选C。 小题9:考查动词及上下文的呼应。work起作用, 工作; help 帮助; go去; perform执行。而是获知了一万个并不奏效的事物。故选A。 小题10:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。further更远的; closer靠近的; familiar熟悉的; interested感兴趣的。最后一点,犯错之前正是你更为接近成功之日。这是为什么呢?故选B。 小题11:考查连词及上下文的呼应。only if只要; even though即使; every time每次; as if好像。每犯一次错误,那些所要做的尝试就会减少一个,从而你离成功也就更近一步。故选 C。 小题12:考查介词及上下文的呼应。without 没有;所有这些并不意味着你就该一个劲地往前冲,而不用考虑每一个错误的后果。故选B。 小题13:考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。want to想要; lead to 导致; tend to 注意 ; have to不得不。恰恰相反,在尝试新事物时,你得注意设定一些合理的限度,以便当事态不尽如人意时,你能够再试一次。故选D。 小题14:考查动词短语及上下文的呼应。work out 解决; put out熄灭; run out 用完;sort out分类。以便当事态不尽如人意时,你能够再试一次。故选A。 小题15:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。enough足够的; much 许多; limited 有限的;little少的。在时间和金钱方面,我们的资源都是有限的,故选C。 小题16:考查名词及上下文的呼应。way方法; approach方法,接近; means 手段;suggestion建议。所以不要在一棵树上吊死,不要把所有的时间和金钱都投入到一个问题的解决途径上。这里approach与to连用,其他的不能,故选B。 小题17:考查动词及上下文的呼应。make制造; follow 跟随; take拿; offer提供。要明白,第一次可能不会尽善尽美,要合理分配这些资源,这样你就能够学习,改进,并再次尝试。Make corrections改正,改进。故选A。 小题18:考查动词及上下文的呼应。trying尝试; avoiding避免; accepting接受; receiving收到。只有以这种方式欣然接受并利用你的错误,你才能在业务和事业上取得重大进步。故选C。 小题19:考查名词及上下文的呼应。use使用; contribution贡献; money 钱; advances前进。你才能在业务和事业上取得重大进步。故选D。 小题20:考查副词及上下文的呼应。back 后退; forth 向前; off 离开; out离去。勇往直前,去犯错误吧。然后学习、成长,最后成功。故选B。 点评:由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇,围绕一个话题论述,因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则,某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词,考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。 |
举一反三
Three years ago, I had a job in a retail store (零售店). I 21 to talk to everybody and know what was going on in their 22 . I remember a girl who started 23 there a few months after me. We seldom talked but we always 24 each other and smiled. She always smiled in a really happy way 25 one day when we got to work in the 26 department. She smiled as if she was the 27 girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I could feel you’re very 28 , but you’re always trying to 29 it.” Her mouth just dropped as if I had 30 her deepest secret, so we started talking. She told me 31 she was feeling unhappy and why she was trying to 32 that nothing was wrong. Time went by and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had 33 her life in so many ways. Today that girl is one of my best 34 . I really don’t know what I would do 35 her. She has been there for me in every 36 way a friend could be. What I’m trying to say is that you never know 37 you’re helping yourself. I helped this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a 38 friend. So the next time you see a 39 and he needs someone who will 40 to him, wait and let him say what he wants to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.

When I was 17, I read a quote: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made a(n) 36 on me,and since then,for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the 37 day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 38 something. Remembering that I’ll be 39 soon is the most important tool to help me make the big choices in life, 40 almost everything—all expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—just falls away in the face of death, 41 only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 42 . You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart. No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to 43 don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever 44 it, because Death is very likely to be the single best invention of Life. It clears out the old to 45 for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will 46 become the old and be cleared away. Your time is 47 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.Everything else is secondary.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence. People naturally have different levels of confidence. Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals. Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals. One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace. We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise. This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities. After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do? Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success. If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do. Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team. Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve. Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence. 小题1:What is the passage mainly about?A.The influence of confidence on one’s life. | B.The importance of confidence to success. | C.The difference of people’s confidence. | D.The judgment on one’s confidence. | 小题2:Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _____.A.who think their goals are hard to reach | B.who expect to give guidance to others | C.who want to ask the boss for a raise | D.who dream to be recognized experts | 小题3:What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.important | B.attractive | C.outspoken | D.energetic | 小题4:What message does the author want to express in the last paragraph?A.To overlook one’s disadvantages. | B.To make full use of one’s advantages. | C.To have great confidence in one’s abilities. | D.To make objective evaluations of one’s abilities. |

When you need a job very much, you may end up taking one for which you are over qualified. Although you were initially grateful just to have the work, you now feel bored and depressed. Is there any way to change that? Start by changing your opinion, says Caitlin Kelly, the author of Malled, a book based on her experience as a sales clerk after losing her job in journalism. “Don’t focus on what you’re not getting but what you are getting,” she says. “Be patient and work attentively with a wide range of people. It doesn’t matter what the job is –there are always things you can learn and skills you can develop.” Hilary Pearl, the founder of a coaching firm, says, “Tell yourself the current situation isn’t the end of your career. Don’t overdramatize(过分夸大)the negative aspects but try to view the situation more philosophically: life has a series of stages, and this is one of them. Don’t forget to study even in the worst stage.” Consider that because you’re overqualified, you may be able to learn or do things on the job that might not have been possible in a more demanding position, says Sarah Hathorn, the chief executive of Illustra Consulting. “You could spend your extra time in learning different aspects of the business and teaching others in the organization,” she says. Is it possible to make your work more challenging, even if your job responsibilities aren’t likely to change? Of course, you may seek tasks and responsibilities that force you to learn something new or to work harder. “You may be operating on autopilot(习惯性地)right now, but chances are that people above you are stressed,” Sarah Hathorn says. “Take things off your boss’s plate and let him know which projects or tasks you want to learn more about.” Always express your request positively, saying that you love new challenges, rather than complaining that you’re bored and underused, says Ethun, the president of the Park Avenue Group. In your down time, educate yourself about the company and its industry. “Read corporate information, analyst reports and related news articles,” she says. “If your boss accepts your suggestions, it will make you a more valuable employee.” 小题1:According to Caitlin Kelly, ______.A.one should be willing to do some small things | B.being a salesman is not as important as being a journalist | C.performing your regular duties well is important | D.doing a simple job well will bring you a sense of success | 小题2:What Hilary Pearl intends to express is that ______.A.work is just a stage of our whole life | B.the present job doesn’t matter to us in a long run | C.one should be satisfied with his present situation | D.one should look forward instead of complaining about the present situation | 小题3:The underlined words “take things off your boss’s plate” mean______.A.draw your boss’s attention | B.share your boss’s burdens | C.give your boss useful advice | D.ask your boss for a better position | 小题4: What is the common view about careers of the people mentioned in this passage?A.One should start his career from doing a simple job. | B.One should improve himself and help others as well. | C.One should keep learning new things to improve himself. | D.One should pay much attention to the relationship with the boss. |

完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 1 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a 2 to go faster. I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 3 situations in which someone doesn’t even 4 that the light turns red, and just keeps going. That is why so many 5 happen! All these situations make me 6 the purpose of traffic lights. 7 ,it’s even more frightening to imagine letting people make their own decisions at 8 crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next? So I guess I do like the idea of a system to 9 traffic. And I’ll do my best to 10 the traffic rules: to go, to be cautious, and to stop when I’m 11 to. It occurs to me that my 12 have done much the same for me 13 teaching me how to live. They have given me many 14 lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to 15 with joy and purpose. They have also given me some red lights 16 my life goes astray(误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there 17 have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to 18 school regularly and work hard. If I obey these rules, my life will be as 19 as it can be. Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“ 20 signals”given to me by my parents.
