‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题说明文话题10篇训练之三十一 ‎[一]‎ ‎ Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room’s three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal. ‎ ‎ First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.‎ ‎ Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量) against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.‎ ‎ Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations’ weights and measures systems. ‎ ‎ But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement – based on electric current – in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.‎ ‎ “One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”‎ ‎ Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”‎ ‎32. What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?‎ ‎ A. It’s cared for with great devotion.‎ ‎ B. It’s used in religious ceremonies.‎ ‎ C. It’s beautifully designed and decorated.‎ ‎ D. It’s the most valuable metal in the world.‎ ‎33. Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in paragraph 5?‎ ‎ A. rebuilt B. removed C. destroyed D. upgraded ‎34. What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?‎ ‎ A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage. ‎ ‎ B. To make taking measurements more economical.‎ ‎ C. To provide all countries with the same standard. ‎ ‎ D. To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. No more kilos ‎ B. A heavy technology ‎ C. The future of the kilo D. The history of measures 参考答案:32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C ‎ ‎[二]‎ D Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. ‎ The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. ‎ Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninetyfive would have the same effect. ‎ Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales (鲸鱼). ‎ A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. ‎ The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to ‎ exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected (被感染的). ‎ Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. ‎ Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. ‎ ‎32. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?‎ A.the sound of cars. B.the sound of voices.‎ C.manmade noise pollution.D.the sound of steps.‎ ‎33.According to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following EXCEPT________.‎ A.sounds made by animals themselves B.ocean drilling C.underwater earthquakes D.the breaking of ice fields ‎34.Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?‎ A.The same noise level produces a different effect on land and in the ocean.‎ B.Different places may have different types of noises.‎ C.The decibel is not a right unit (单位) for measuring underwater noise.‎ D.Different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises.‎ ‎35.According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?‎ A.They will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution.‎ B.They will protect animals from harmful noises.‎ C.They will try to set a limit of 120 decibels. ‎ D.They will study the effect of ocean noise pollution. ‎ 参考答案:32---35 CBAB ‎[三]‎ Anyone with a passing interest in their health will be able to rattle__off a few of ‎ the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much-talked-about ‘sunshine’ Vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.‎ But Vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment(天然色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. Fast-forward almost a century and these compounds are now better known as flavonoids.‎ Today, scientists have identified between 4,000 and 6,000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.‎ They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.‎ They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的). That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.‎ ‎(A)28. Which of the following best explains “rattle off” underlined in Paragraph 1?‎ A. Quickly say. B. Quickly pass.‎ C. Quickly find. D. Quickly take.‎ ‎【解析】rattle sth off 的意思是一口气说出。从第一段后面出现的guess和much-talked-about 等词可以做出正确判断。‎ ‎(D)29. What do we know about Vitamin P?‎ A. We would scratch our head if we took it.‎ B. It was made into a coin in the 1930s.‎ C. People didn't think it beneficial in the past.‎ D. It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.‎ ‎【解析】第二段It might well have you scratching your head. 是指它很有可能会让你挠头(冥思苦想),故A选项错。the term was first coined in the 1930s是指这个术语是20世纪30年代被创造的,故B选项错。从were believed to have health benefits可知C选项错。从 these compounds are now better known as flavonoids可知D选项正确。‎ ‎(B)30. How many functions of Vitamin P for humans are mentioned?‎ A. Four. B. Three.‎ C. Two. D. One.‎ ‎【解析】第一种为: for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth;第二种为:for the production of the protein collagen(胶原),which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin;第三种为:They are also said to help the body deal with ‎ some of the key drivers of illness.That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.‎ ‎(A)31. How does Vitamin P help slow the aging process?‎ A. By dealing with oxidation.‎ B. By maintaining bones.‎ C. By strengthening muscle.‎ D. By protecting against chronic diseases.‎ ‎【解析】从最后一段including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的),可知Vitamin P可帮助抗氧化。‎ ‎[四]‎ The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.‎ ‎  The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.‎ ‎  By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.‎ ‎  Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.‎ ‎  The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.‎ ‎  After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.‎ ‎  The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.‎ ‎48.The fire began in __________‎ ‎  A. a hotel  B. the palace C. Pudding Lane     D. Thames Street ‎49.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that____________.‎ ‎  A. some people lost their lives ‎  B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire ‎  C. many famous buildings were destroyed ‎  D. the King's bakery was burned down ‎50.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?‎ ‎  A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.‎ ‎  B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.‎ ‎  C. To show that poor people suffered most.‎ ‎  D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.‎ ‎51.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?‎ ‎  (a)There was a strong wind.‎ ‎  (b)The streets were very narrow.‎ ‎  (c)Many houses were made of wood.‎ ‎  (d)There was not enough water in the city.‎ ‎  (e)People did not discover the fire earlier.‎ ‎  A.(a)and(b) B.(a),(b)and(c)‎ ‎  C.(a),(b),(c)and(d) D.(a),(b),(c)(d)and(e)‎ 参考答案:48-51 CCDB ‎ ‎[五]‎ If you make a list of the world's top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often bad-tempered, wild kids into intelligent, well-rounder ‎ individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!‎ What if there all-important individuals that we often take for granted (想当然) disappear from our lives? That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recently-held competition. Entitled "A World Without Teachers", its purpose was to inspire more young people to become teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn't have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting is that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do.‎ High-school student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art as we know it today would have been different without teachers. Would Monet have discovered his talent for impressionism? Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1000 USD prize for the best adult submission imagines a world where teachers are replaced by a “brain box” in his fun lively entry.‎ Youth category winner Marina Barham's video represents a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach, they inspire something that no electronic device, no matter how smart, can do! So the next time you think your teacher is being "mean" for trying to channel you in the right direction, imagine a life without him/her. We have a feeling it will not appear as rosy!‎ ‎32. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The significance cf teachers.‎ B. The campaign to promote teachers' status.‎ C. A survey of people's views about teachers.‎ D. A competition to win the prize for the best teacher.‎ ‎33. From the passage we can learn that_____.‎ A. teaching naughty kids is a very discouraging task B. being a teacher is one of the most challenging jobs in the world C. a successful teacher has the greatest chance to be promoted D. teachers have little influence on kids' individual development ‎34. What is the purpose of the project “A World Without Teachers”?‎ A. To attract kids to submit more videos of their teachers.‎ B. To encourage more people to go into teaching career.‎ C. To expect teachers to devote themselves to their jobs.‎ D. To remind students to appreciate teachers' hard work.‎ ‎35. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?‎ A. Teaching is quite different from other jobs.‎ B. The future of teachers' work appears inspiring.‎ C. A world without teachers will be unimaginable.‎ D. Many people attach more importance to teaching.‎ 参考答案:32-35.ABBC ‎[六]‎ Feifei, an 11-year-old boy from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, suffered from a sudden acute eye disease which has almost led to blindness. The disease was caused by excessive(过度的)eye fatigue(疲劳)during the winter vacation, during which he played computer games for continuous 10 days and nights.‎ Many youngsters in China nowadays are increasingly addicted to computer games and other electronic products. This is followed by a series of health problems, with the most typical case being myopia, or nearsightedness.‎ According to the latest research report released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the myopia rate among Chinese teenagers ranks first in the world—70 percent of high school and college students. The rate ‎ is nearly 40 percent in primary school students, while it is only 10 percent for their peers in the United States.‎ There are at least 10 million people in China with severe myopia, and they are likely to get pathological(病理性的)myopia in middle age. Pathological myopia can't be treated with glasses or surgery, and it is one of the biggest factors that lead to blindness, Xu Xun, director of the ophthalmology(眼科学) department at Shanghai General Hospital, pointed out.‎ Experts explain that two major factors lead to the high rate of myopia among Chinese people. One is high academic pressure, and the other one is excessive use of electronic devices over a long period of time. Genetics, on the other hand, are not the main reason, as only 20 percent of Chinese people had myopia in the 1960s.‎ ‎"Teenagers are now faced with severe academic pressure, which means they often study without natural light. This increases their risk of becoming nearsighted," Xu said.‎ Experts suggest that youngsters maintain a proper balance between study and rest so as to protect their eyesight, and parents should play an active role in the process.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mention Feifei's experience in the first paragraph?‎ A. To advise people to protect their eyes.‎ B. To introduce the topic of nearsightedness.‎ C. To inform people of the cause of blindness.‎ D. To show that Feifei developed an eye disease.‎ ‎29. What can be learnt from the passage?‎ A. Nearsightedness may cause other health problems.‎ B. There are more nearsighted students in the United States.‎ C. 70 percent Chinese students in primary school are nearsighted.‎ D. Pathological myopia is most likely to cause blindness.‎ ‎30. Which of the following can be a main reason for myopia?‎ A. Genetics factors.‎ B. Low academic pressure.‎ C. Overuse of electronic devices.‎ D. Reading in natural light.‎ ‎31. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?‎ A. The significance of protecting eyesight.‎ B. Youngsters’ bad behavior leading to myopia.‎ C. The relationship between youngsters and their parents.‎ D. Parents’ role in helping youngsters protect their eyesight.‎ 参考答案:28-31.BDCD ‎[七]‎ Camille Mahlknecht, 9, has some big fun planned for this weekend. She and other residents of Agoura Hills, California, plan to pick up trash during their city’s annual cleanup. At the same time, Wissam Raed,12, will be busy volunteering too. Thousands of miles away in Lebanon, Wissam plans to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.‎ Some other children like Nathan White, 10, have personal reasons for volunteering. Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack. To help raise money for medical research, Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart. He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US$‎1200 in donations for the American Heart Association.‎ Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.‎ Community service is particularly important in this depression time. As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations. Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps.‎ According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue ‎ doing good deeds when they are adults. So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community. You’ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it’s for a good cause.‎ ‎32.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?‎ A.To recommend youth service programs to schools.‎ B.To ask charity organizations to serve the community.‎ C.To urge children to take part in volunteering activities.‎ D.To propose alternatives for doing community services.‎ ‎33.What is the main idea of the 3rd paragraph?‎ A.Community service is gaining popularity among children.‎ B.Families and schools help to make community service popular.‎ C.Children now depend more on their teachers than on their parents.‎ D.Nathan White had a special reason to raise money for medical research.‎ ‎34.Why is community service important in a time of depression?‎ A.It raises money for school activities.‎ B.It teaches children to take care of the sick.‎ C.It gives charity organizations some needed help.‎ D. It encourages parents and teachers to work together.‎ ‎35.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A.Community service can help prevent juvenile delinquency(青少年犯罪).‎ B.Children will probably leave school and work as volunteers.‎ C.Organizing sports events for the school is a kind of community service.‎ D.Children who do volunteer work are more likely to grow up to be caring adults.‎ 参考答案:32-35.CBCD ‎[八]‎ All forms of tobacco — cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco — are dangerous. It doesn't help to substitute products that seem like they're better for you than regular cigarettes, such as filtered or low-tar cigarettes.‎ ‎ The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This isn't always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. It may help to have your reasons for not smoking ready for times you may feel the pressure, such as “I just don't like it” or “I want to stay in shape for soccer (or football, basketball or other sport)”.‎ ‎ The good news for people who don't smoke or who want to quit is that studies show that the number of teens who smoke has dropped evidently. Today, about 23% of high school students smoke.‎ ‎ If you do smoke and want to quit, you have lots of information and support available. Different approaches to quitting work for different people. For some, quitting cold turkey is best. Others find that a slower approach is the way to go. Some people find that it helps to go to a support group especially for teens. These are sometimes sponsored by local hospitals or organizations like the American Cancer Society. The Internet offers a number of good resources to help people quit smoking.‎ ‎ When quitting, it can be helpful to realize that the first few days are the hardest. So don't give up. Some people find they have a few setbacks before they manage to quit for good.‎ ‎ Staying smoke free will give you a whole lot more of everything — more energy, better performance, better looks, more money in your pocket, and, in the long run, more life to live!‎ ‎28. What will be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A.Live a long life ‎ B.Staying smoke free ‎ C.The smoking problems ‎ D.The good news for smokers ‎29. What makes it difficult to keep away from smoking?‎ ‎ A.Sports activities.‎ ‎ B.Finding no reasons.‎ ‎ C.Cigarettes offered around you.‎ ‎ D.The pressure from your work.‎ ‎30. How can you effectively quit smoking?‎ ‎ A.Walking slowly.‎ ‎ B.Eating cold turkey.‎ ‎ C.Staying in hospital.‎ ‎ D.Finding a suitable approach.‎ ‎31. We can conclude that after stopping smoking you will ________.‎ ‎ A.have no cancer ‎ B.be more attractive ‎ C.run for a long time ‎ D.get more opportunities 参考答案:28-31. BCDB ‎[九]‎ In the fall of 1959, Freed suffered a bad reputation for rumors of bribery (贿赂行为), and his troubles were too strong to be resisted. When WABC asked Freed to sign a statement swearing that he had never taken bribes, he refused and was fired. Although he later signed such a statement for WNEW-TV, he lost his television show as well. ‎ Finding himself unwelcome in New York, Freed fled to the West Coast, where he managed to land a daytime disc jockey (流行音乐播音员) job at KDAY in Los Angeles in 1960. Legal problems continued to bother him, though, and he was charged with taking bribes of more than $30,000 from a number of record companies. Publicly, Freed denied that he had ever accepted direct bribes, although he acknowledged that he had accepted gifts from record companies, but only for playing records that he was certain would become hits anyway. After a short time at KDAY, he left when the station management refused to let him promote his live rock ‘n’ roll shows. He returned to New York, but not as a broadcaster. At the height of the great enthusiasm for the twist dance, he hosted a Manhattan twist revue (时事讽刺剧), but when this enthusiasm cooled, he found a disc jockey job at WQAM in Miami in 1962. During this difficult period, Freed began drinking heavily and lost his job in Miami after only two ‎ months. In December of 1962 he was found guilty in New York of two charges of commercial bribery and was given a six-month sentence and fined $300. This effectively ended his career.‎ Freed spent the last years of his life in Palm Springs, California. Although he had redefined what it meant to be a disc jockey and named the music that had become an anthem (圣歌) for the world’s youth, he was a disgraced (耻辱的) and broken man, no longer able to work in the business he loved. On January 20, 1965, he died in a hospital in Palm Springs.‎ ‎25. Why was Freed fired by WABC?‎ A. Because he took bribes.‎ B. Because he swore he didn’t take bribes.‎ C. Because he refused to admit taking bribes.‎ D. Because he refused to make a statement as WABC required.‎ ‎26. According to Freed, he accepted the gifts from record companies only when _______.‎ A. the gifts were not valuable B. the gifts had no connection with playing records C. the records he was asked to play were very famous D. the records he was asked to play would surely become popular ‎27. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Freed didn’t take bribes at all.‎ B. Freed showed no talent for music.‎ C. Freed had made contributions in his career.‎ D. KDAY fired Freed because of his addiction to alcohol.‎ 参考答案:25-27.DDC ‎[十]‎ There are many reasons that goals go unfulfilled. For many, goal setting is a never ending circle that starts, stops, and beings again. To help us succeed in reaching our goals, let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 7 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals:‎ ‎1. You Don’t Have Any Goals Too many people are afraid to “set” their goals. Afraid of failing. Afraid of ‎ disappointment. Well, you definitely won’t complete them if you don’t try. Make a choice and set your goals. Otherwise, you will end up wherever life takes you.‎ ‎2. You Don’t Start OK, so you have a goal. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.‎ ‎3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals Yes. You have to buy your goals. Why? Because every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner. ‎ ‎4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic Make sure that your goals are possible and that you set an adequate time frame for success.‎ ‎5. You Won’t Stick With It Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days. You set your goals. You started them. And then… you gave up. Are you using life’s daily happenings as excuses? Goals are not reached through one effort. Rather, they are made in small steps over time.‎ ‎6. You Will Fail… and You Won’t Get Back Up!‎ No one succeeds immediately. Those who appear to have effortlessly succeeded have usually put in years of preparation and practice. You have to fall down many times before you will succeed. Skill is learned by doing.‎ ‎7. You Quit Before the Finish Line Too many people stop… right before the finish. It’s almost like they are afraid of succeeding. Often a life event is used as the reason for not finishing. Something always comes up before you finish. ‎ Are you reaching your goals? Which of these is keeping you from succeeding? Set your goals. Stay the course. Always get back up when you fail. And make sure you cross the finish line.‎ ‎25. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?‎ A. To clarify the reasons leading to the failure of achieving goals.‎ B. To remind people of the importance of setting life goals.‎ C. To convince people of keeping to their life goals.‎ D. To persuade people to have big life goals.‎ ‎26. What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “procrastination” in the second tip?‎ A. delay B. punctuality C. impatience. D. reluctance.‎ ‎27. According to the passage, you will not reach your goals, if you __________.‎ A. are not willing to spend money seeking helping hands ‎ B. do not take time to make plans for them C. do not let life take you where it goes ‎ ‎ D. are not afraid of succeeding ‎28. What can be learnt from the sixth tip?‎ A. He who has hope has everything. B. Two heads are better than one.‎ C. Practice makes perfect. D. Success belongs to the persevering. ‎ 参考答案:25—28。AABD
