1、阅读下面短文,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。
When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart? Here are some strategics to help you manage a personal setback(挫折)and get back on track toward achieving your goal.
● Realize it's normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It's normal and expected for setbacks to occur.Knowing this, it's important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises.
● Don't deny it. Sometimes it's hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring at you right in the face, but you may deny there's any cause for alarm.This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn't mean you're stupid. It's just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It's important to be receptive to the honest feedback.
Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling.
● Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success.
Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall.After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.
A.Don't take it seriously.
B.Analyze what happened.
C.You haven't lost all of the knowledge, skills, and support.
D.In other words, it's not whether a challenge will happen, but it's when.
E.This is because you learn from each misstep to make your plan more effective.
F.Friends or family will voice their concerns, but you still may not be able to accept it.
G.You might even write about past experiences in a journal to guide your future behavior.

2、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals. As part of their demonstration at last week's IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain.
The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations, but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. "Pain is a system that protects us, "says Kuchn. "When we avoid the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt. "So when robots can feel and react to pain, they will become smart enough to avoid it. The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be, the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger. Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them.
They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature. It uses a robot-tissue patch(小片)modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take. For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator.
Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions, of course, if they become more common —if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate, are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain? Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin's work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever.
(1)、What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration?A、They can learn skills like animals. B、They can communicate with people. C、They have the ability to feel pain. D、They respond differently to requests.(2)、What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about ?A、The significance of teaching robots to feel pain. B、The principle of robots' avoidance of injuries. C、The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system. D、The value of protecting human workers from injury.(3)、What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?A、The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks. B、The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator. C、The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain. D、The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature.(4)、What is the author's attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin's study?A、Negative. B、Doubtful. C、Unclear. D、Optimistic -
3、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Getting rid of old tyres (轮胎) has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage. Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to
repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground.
Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring an alternative. One such firm is Wastefront, which owns a big tyre-recycling plant in north-east England. In a couple of years, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products, including a black liquid called TDO (轮胎衍生油).
The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black. After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they're removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies(液化) into TDO. The remaining gases are to be burned to fuel the process. This creates a closed-cycle system that prevents emissions.
The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral—achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases.
The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel ( 柴油). While not completely carbon-neutral, it does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel. The future market for such cleaner fuels will remain large, even though electric vehicles are on the rise. Fossil-fueled vehicles will exist for decades, particularly the big burners of diesel—trucks, which are harder to electrify. The fuel is also needed by trains and ships. So, anything that helps clean up overall emissions is useful—especially if it also eases a mountainous waste problem.
(1)、What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A、To analyze causes. B、To present problems. C、To reach solutions. D、To make comparisons.(2)、What can be inferred about the tyre-recycling process?A、Air boosts the burning of the old tyres. B、The remaining gases are emitted into the air. C、Pure carbon black is an unprocessed substance. D、TDO comes from the removed hydrocarbon gases.(3)、Why are tyre-makers interested in tyre-recycling?A、They hope to gain financial rewards. B、It helps reduce greenhouse emissions. C、It helps improve production efficiency. D、They hope to expand the future market.(4)、What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?A、Diesel made from TDO. B、Clean electric energy. C、Carbon-neutral process. D、Recovered TDO from old tyres. -
4、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along fine -with instant recall of my bank PIN (密码),my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in "gas 1", it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: "IHateHearlessOilCompanies@". But that was too long and didn't include "at least one number". But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering "Skinny George, Skinny George" in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you'll burst out the phrase. "Skinny George" might not mind, but it's possible "Boring Betty" will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I'll try that one out- -but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.
(1)、What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A、He fell for a marketing trick. B、He was driven mad by passwords. C、He had a serious memory disorder. D、He was rejected by the gas station.(2)、By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ____.A、show how secure his passwords were B、challenge the intelligence of scientists C、prove the uselessness of his passwords D、promote a more scientific password system(3)、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To encourage readers to use password notebooks. B、To recommend a password-remembering method. C、To complain about the trouble caused by passwords. D、To point out the importance of using complex passwords.(4)、What is the tone of the text?A、Inspiring. B、Indifferent. C、Humorous. D、Serious. -

16、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I remember a time when I learned the true meaning of forgiveness. It was a period in my life that tested my patience and my ability to understand others.
It all started when I was in middle school. I had a close friend named Emily, and we spent a lot of time together. One day, Emily introduced me to a new girl in our class, named Olivia. Olivia was quiet and shy, but we quickly became friends as well.
One afternoon, after school, we were all working on a project in the classroom. As we were discussing our ideas, Olivia suddenly exclaimed out something that completely contradicted what I had been saying. I was shocked and felt a little embarrassed. I tried to explain my point of view, but Olivia was very stubborn and insisted on her own idea.
Emily, who was sitting next to me, tried to mediate(调节) the situation. But Olivia got angry and said some unkind words to me. I was hurt and angry, and I couldn't believe that Olivia would treat me like that. I stormed out of the classroom, leaving Emily and Olivia behind.
The next few days were very difficult for me. I avoided Olivia as much as possible, and our friendship with Emily seemed to be stressed. I felt like I had been betrayed by Olivia, and I couldn't understand why she would do such a thing.
One day, I asked Emily why she was still friends with Olivia after what she had done. Emily looked at me with a sad expression and said, "You know, Olivia has been through a lot lately. Her parents are going through a divorce, and she's really struggling. Maybe she was rude to you because she was feeling overwhelmed and insecure."
Hearing this, I felt a surge of guilt. I realized that I hadn't taken the time to understand Olivia's situation. I had been too quick to judge her and too focused on my own feelings of hurt. I decided to talk to Olivia and apologize for my behavior.

18、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Farmers begin to grow cacao trees in some provinces in South China. (origin), the trees grow in the shady areas of rainforests near the Earth's equator, which require exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cacao trees start producing large fruits (call) pods, which grow near the trunk of the tree. The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate. There are several kinds of cacao trees. Most of the world's chocolate (make) from the Forastero cacao tree. But Chinese farmers can also grow Criollo or Trinitario cacao trees. Growing cacao trees (be) very hard work for farmers because cacao trees grow n on farms are much (easily) threatened by diseases and insects than wild trees are. They have to find many ways to deal with the damage.
Today, chocolate industry is developing Chinese elements as chocolate shapes. The "big chocolate (consume)", such as Belgium, Italy, Germany and other European countries, also have designers to integrate Chinese elements into the chocolate modeling. In recent years, cultural and creative chocolates have been introduced a variety of ways. From delicate cloth coins and silver locks to national (treasure) and ancient buildings, they can be turned into delicious food on the tip of the tongue, people can taste buds through the time tunnel and feel the history and culture.

A father saw that his 11 year old son was crying silently. He asked him, "What's the matter, son?" The young boy replied, "My rich classmates laughed at me and called me so n of the 1 . They said that my father lived only on the 'money he earns from watering and feeding plants for people". The father 2 for a moment and then said, "Come with me, son. Let's plant some flowers. It might cheer you up."
He held his hand and 3 him to the garden. Then he took out some flower seeds and said, "Let's 4 an experiment. We will plant two flowers 5 . I will care for one and you will care for the other. I will water mine with the clean water from the lake while you will water yours with 6 water from the pond. We shall see the 7 in the weeks to come." The son was 8 as he joined his father in planting the flowers. It took them some days to finely sprout the flower seeds. They cared for them and watched them grow.
Later on, the father brought his son to the garden and said to him, "Look at the two flowers and tell me your 9 "The boy responded, "My flower looks better and healthier than yours. How is that 10 when your water is cleaner?" The father smiled and then said, "That's because dirty water doesn't 11 a plant from growing. Rather, it 12 as organic fertilizer to help it flourish. So don't let the harsh words from people 13 you.

20、 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Poor indoor air quality can have health consequences that range from disease of the eyes, nose and throat to headaches and dizziness. It's also linked to respiratory (呼吸的) and heart disease. .
●Maximize fresh air
Katherine Pruitt, National Senior Director for Policy at the American Lung Association, offers three basic steps you can take to make your air better at home. . She says, "Let fresh air from outside in." This means that opening up your windows is often the simplest way to disperse anything bad that may be accumulating inside. If you have a central air conditioner, running it can be a good way to bring in outside air.
It may make sense to use a fan to improve indoor air quality. For instance, you might place one near an open window to help exhaust indoor air to the outdoors.
·.
The second thing you can do is called source control, which is keeping sources of pollutants out of the indoor environment if you can, says Pruitt.
It can be as simple, Pruitt says, as leaving your dry cleaning outside long enough to air the harmful chemicals out.
Cleaning your home is helpful. But Pruitt warns that"."She advises, "Read the labels and select safer products when you can."
·Purify the air
Finally, if necessary, the third thing you can try to improve your air is purification. For instance, if you want to remove airborne particles like smoke, dust and germs, ."For homes with air conditioners," says Pruitt, "you have a purifier that you're supposed to be changing regularly."
A. Prevent the air pollution
B. Control the source of the pollutants
C. you should focus on the air quality
D. The first has to do, with ventilation (通风)
E. Here's how to keep your home's air clean
F. it may make sense to use an indoor air purifier
G. Use of harsh cleaning supplies can introduce its own risks
