只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 1 A land of diversity Ⅰ.阅读理解 The speaker, a teacher from a commun ity college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established. My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult. My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies(缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack. The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today’s young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language. 1.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that . A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation B.the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough C.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years D.English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English 2.In the author’s opinion, the speaker ________. A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students B.had exaggerated the language problems of the students C.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 D.could think and speak intelligently 3.The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ________. A.neutral B.positive C.critical D.compromising 4.In the passage the author argues that . A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students B.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly C.to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears D.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria(疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China. Tu shared the prize with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary anti-roundworm treatment. 84-year-old Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients’ suffering and promoting mankind’s health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu’s dedication and perseveran ce in discovering artemisinin(青蒿素), the key drug that battles malaria friendly parasites(寄生虫). However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn’t have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “three noes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China’s national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists. The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one. As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu’s record-breaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 or she may get. 5.It can be concluded from the text that . A.Tu worked home and abroad to conduct her research B.Tu got the Nobel Prize for her anti roundworm treatment C.the Nobel Prize is the first award to recognize her work D.her discovery of artemisinin has helped to cut malaria death rate 6.The author seems to agree that a person who is more likely to become a scientist is the one with . A.a sense of national pride B.relevant academic knowledge C.a desire to achieve success D.enthusiasm for scientific research 7.In writing the passage, the author intends to . A.inform readers of the news and make comments B.discourage the pursuit of instant success in science C.remind readers of the principles of scientific research D.praise the award winner and encourage scientific research Ⅱ.语法填空 A man looking at his smartphone while walkin g across a railway crossing in Nanjing 1 (have) a close knock on Oct 22.

Ⅲ.短文改错 Dear Editor, I am a Senior Three student. Recently we had carried out a survey—“To whom do you go when you in trouble?” The results are as follows. 61% of the students being surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have troubles, the reason of it is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk. They suggest that teachers and parents be rich in life and educational experience. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don’t share their troubles at all. They said that their troubles are none of others’ business, and they find it harder to get along with others. It is not easy to reach definite conclusions basing on such a survey example. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 However, some general comments can be made. There seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.
