Dear daughters,
Most parents tell their children, “You can be anything you want when you grow up.” I feel the same and I say this often. But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing. Here are some words of wisdom for you as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama.
1. Be open-minded to changing your path along the way
In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington, DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national healthcare nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I'm not a politician!
2. Failure is critical to your success
Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better. Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time. I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and
an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes.
Love,
Your mom
41. In the writer’s opinion, what does it take to realize one’s dream?
A. Failure, hard work and good timing.
B. An open mind, failure and hard work.
C. Hard work, good luck and good timing.
D. A good dream, an open mind and hard work.
42. What message does the author want to convey through paragraph 2?
A. She likes doing different jobs.
B. She likes doing challenging jobs.
C. She is willing to consider different ideas.
D. She intends to become an entrepreneur.
43. What did the author learn from her failure?
A. Failure can make us embarrassed.
B. We shouldn’t get angry when we fail.
C. Don’t care too much about your failure.
D. It’s important to turn to others for help.
44. Which of the following words best describe the writer?
A. Political and proud.
B. Caring and cautious.
C. Modest and unlucky.
D. Flexible and successful.
C
With climate change and overfishing threatening our oceans, it is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely observe and check sea animals and plants. However, it’s almost impossible to make it since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to the robot, aka SoFi, researchers may be able to solve the problem.
Built by MIT’s laboratory, the snow-white remote-controlled robot simulates fish, complete with a flexible tail that moves from side to side and two “fins (鳍)”.
When the robot is under the sea, a motor is pumping water into a pair of balloon-like rooms located in the robot’s tail. These rooms operate similarly to the key parts in engines. As one room expands, the tail bends to one side; when the motor pushes water to the other channel, the tail bends in the other direction. Thus the robot gains the ability to move to where it wants to go.
SoFi solves many of the issues that have affected the usefulness of previous robots --- some types of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs)
AUVs traditionally often have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. So researchers use sound waves. The new technology can travel greater distances, allowing drivers, by using a controller, to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. SoFi can move around the ocean, unaffected by ropes. Also limiting traditional AUVs’ usefulness is the risk of hitting
something, like hard stones. With the outside made of rubber and plastic that can keep its built-in electronics dry, SoFi can efficiently avoid hitting. So a soft robot is more likely to survive a potential crisis.
During test dives in Rainbow Reef, SoFi swam alongside the unsuspecting ocean life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, obtaining high-quality photos and videos. More importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. Researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot in curiosity, while at other times they appeared to completely ignore its existence. “It’s not perfect, but we’re improving it. Our efforts will pay off,” says Robert Katzschmann.
45. The robot SoFi is created to ________.
A. observe climate change B. help to monitor sea creatures
C. catch fish and observe them D. prevent overfishing in oceans
46. What does the underlined word “simulates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Is modeled after. B. Is designed for.
C. Is combined with. D. Is applied to.
47. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly written to show?
A. The shape of SoFi. B. The application of SoFi.
C. The structure of SoFi’s tail. D. The theory of SoFi’s movement.
48. The materials for SoFi’s outside help SoFi to ________.
A. stay safe underwater B. take high-quality photos
C. stay deeper under the sea D. better attract sea creatures
49. What’s Robert Katzschmann’s attitude towards SoFi?
A. Satisfied. B. Negative. C. Hopeful. D. Neutral.
D
It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things, we are growing. If we never try anything new, how can we improve? How can we expand? The simple answer is “We can’t”. Look around us. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When we are making mistakes, we are learning. Consider this --- Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when we make a mistake, we are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, we will have tried some number of things before we succeeded. Every time we make a mistake we eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when we try something new we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to, we will be in a position to try again. We all have limited resources --in the form of time and money -- so we shouldn’t blow them all on
one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate (分配) these resources appropriately so we can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
50. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that ________.
A. mistakes are unnecessary for development
B. mistakes let us see our own limits
C. it’s common for people to make mistakes
D. making mistakes is better than not trying
51. According to the passage, if we try new things, we can ________.
A. move forward B. never fail C. obtain nothing D. be closer to mistakes
52. The underlined word “eliminate” means ________.
A. make up for B. get rid of C. avoid D. solve
53. According to the article, one thing we should pay attention to about making mistakes is ________.
A. avoiding making the same mistakes
B. accepting the outcome willingly
C. making proper arrangements for our next try
D. reflecting on the consequences after each mistake
54. The article is mainly about ________.
A. how to deal with mistakes
B. what benefits making mistakes brings
C. how to achieve success
D. how to make use of our mistakes
55. What may the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A. Never mind, I tried my best.
B. That’s all right. I’ll try again.
C. Great! Now I have learned something.
D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.
第II卷 (满分35分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5个小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was in school, the class I dreaded most was my eighth grade art class. The teacher put down my every attempt at completing an assignment. I simply couldn’t produce art the way she wanted it. Luckily, I’d already proven myself in other creative areas. Yet, that art teacher was successful in convincing me that I had no talent for painting, drawing, or anything related to them. Imagine my surprise when I published my nature photography and became a volunteer art teacher!
Unfortunately, my story is all too familiar to many people who come through my workshops and practice. Even more unfortunately, the vast majority of people were so discouraged in childhood that they cut off the creative impulse (冲动) in most areas of their lives. Their teachers, parents, or classmates convinced them they had no talent, so they gave up. The pain of failure was simply too great.
Why have we forgotten creativity is an experience, not a result? Let’s consider why we express creativity in first place. To be creative is to be human. Everything we’ve at our disposal (处理) is the result of someone’s creative expression and willingness to take a risk. Even so, for creativity to flower and feel free of encumbrance (累赘), it needs to be about the joyful moments spent creating, not just about what we’ve to show for those moments. Whatever pattern you need to break, try to make it about the pleasure and not about the outcome.
Therefore, I’d urge you to curb your perfectionism not enthusiasm! Perfectionism is the leading killer of artistic expression. Relax a little and bring back your childlike nature when you create. Children instinctively (本能地) know how to give over to the joy --- until someone teaches them otherwise! Let your creation be whatever it wants to be. See if it can lead you rather than the other way around. Let your unconsciousness come through, and let the expression of yourself be beautiful regardless of how it compares to anything else. After all, it’s yours, and no one but you could create it!
56. What made the author give up his dream of art? (no more than 15 words)
57. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? (no more than 10 words)
58. Please explain the underlined word “curb” in English. (no more than 5 words)
59. According to the passage, what is necessary for a creative person? (no more than 10 words)
60. Do you think you are more creative as a student? Please give an example. (no more than 25 words)

Dear sir or Madam,
I’m Li Jin, a senior middle school student from China. I happened to read the advertisement that you have posted on the Internet, employing Chinese students as part-time tutor of the Chinese language.
I am interested in it. I know that you welcome students from China and I'd like to get this job. For me, Chinese is my native tongue and I’m excellent at it.

I hope I will be accepted as a member of yours. Looking forward to your reply!
