When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
1.The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. avoid B. improve
C. accept D. consider
2.According to the passage, winners ________.
A. have responsible and able colleagues
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. deal with problems rather than blame others
D. blame themselves rather that others
3.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ________.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
4.When problems occur, winners take them as ________.
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. chances for self-development
D. challenges to their colleagues

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live.
This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽)。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without air
C. there are many plants in the world D. we can not live without water
2.Plants can make food from______.
A. flower,water and air B. water,sunlight and air
C. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light
3.What can we infer(推斷) from the passage ?
A. Of all living things animals are most important
B. Spores are seeds
C. All fruits of flowering plants have seed
D. Without plants, man will die out
4.This passage may be taken from______.
A. a medicine book B. a novel
C. a science magazine D. an experiment report
5.The underlined word ―protected in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. damaged B. polluted
C. prevented D. guarded

At a supermarket,two women arc shopping.One is a stay-at-home housewife who loves to create delicious masterpieces.The other is a supervisor at an advertising agency.The two ladies stop in the frozen foods section."I'm so tired,"sighs the professional woman."I don't know what to do about supper."Her friend suggests,"What about a microwave dinner?"The weary professional sighs,"I don't feel like cooking tonight."
It is true that Americans have cakes for breakfast,sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners.Most Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be served in 10 minutes or less.However,if you think American cooking means throwing the packaged contents into the microwave,think again.Many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills,admitting that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking,recipes are lifesavers.Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish,the amount of each to use,and a description of how to put them together.Most good cooks have a shelf full of cookbooks ranging from locally published recipe collections to national bestsellers.Magazines devoted to home management,are full of tasty selections.Friends often increase their recipe collection by passing around their favorites cards.
For experienced cooks,recipes are merely references.They often make adjustments,depending on the people they need to serve,the available ingredients and their personal taste.Some cooks prefer instead to depend on their feelings to cook the right flavors.
Of course,as a "land of immigrants,"America has imported all varieties of cooking.Most good cooks in America are "fluent" in several cooking "dialects": Mexican,Italian,Chinese and traditional American style,just to name a few. But whatever the dialect,cooking is a language everyone understands.
1.The conversation in Paragraph 1 aims .
A. to criticize the lazy supervisor
B. to lead to the topic of the text
C. to stress the importance of dinner
D. to compare two women's hobbies
2.What kind of food do many Americans think is the best?
A. Frozen foods. B. Sandwiches.
C. Prepackaged meals. D. Home-cooked meals.
3.What can we learn about recipes in America?
A. Recipes can save people's lives in danger.
B. It is clear how to put the recipes together.
C. Finding recipes in America is very easy.
D. Good cooks like reading bestsellers.
4.What may be the best title for the text?
A. Recipes in America B. American Cooks

【吉林省長白山市2017屆高三第二次模擬】C
You have never seen him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand(經受得。゛lmost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky,as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30,2009,the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong.So when a French submarine(潛水艇)detected the device's homing signal five days later,the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958,Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction.That was the first mode for a black box,which became a requirement on all U.S.commercial flights by 1960.Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device(裝置)was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane-the area least affected bu impact-from its original position in the landing wells(起落架艙). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder,which monitors fuel levels,engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments.Placed in an insulated ( 隔絕的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel,the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉.When in deep water,they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft.Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447,which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009,are in water nearly that deep,but statistics say they're still likely to turn up.In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years,only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
1.In Paragraph 1,the author wants to say the black box_________.
A. comes from a comic book B. is an necessary device on an airplane
C. can prevent disasters D. can control the function of an airplane
2.From the black box on the Yemeni airliner _________ could be found.
A. the scene of the crash and the degree of the damage B. the total number of passengers on board
C. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash D. data for analyzing the cause of the crash
3.Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
A. The early models often got damaged in the crash. B. New materials became available by that time.
C. Too much space was needed for its device. D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.
4.What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?
A. They have stopped sending homing signals. B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
C. There is still a good chance of their being recovered. D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.
