1.Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself."What could be causing everyone to act this way?"
Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real talk I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different!One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (擲) a coin.Heads-the commander,and tails-the peanuts guy.Ah!Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.
Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it all became clear,"My report is on George Washington,the man who started the American Revolution."The whole world became quite!How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously,my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted:No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather,now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!

分析 文章大意:老師布置作業(yè)給學生,寫一篇關於華盛頓的報告.作者是新移民,在網上查到兩個叫華盛頓的,不知道老師要他寫哪個人.于是去問爺爺.爺爺也不知道,讓孫子去猜,即丟硬幣決定寫哪一個華盛頓.結果,是寫那個發(fā)明花生醬的華盛頓.當孩子在班里讀報告的時候,全班孩子們都笑出眼淚來了.老師也不給孩子重寫的機會,也沒有成績.后來,孩子很努力,得到學校領導的認可,校長通知他可以跳一級.

解答 60.B  推理判斷題.ridiculous 可笑的.第一段中only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.可知同學們覺得我的報告很滑稽可笑.
61.A  推理判斷題.根據文章第二段中 Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.可知作者對美國歷史是不了解的.
62.D 詞義猜測題.根據文章第三段第二句I lowed down the paper and sat down at my desk,可知我不知道發(fā)生了什么,所以在我發(fā)言后,希望知道為什么大家如此反應的原因,即eager to find out what I had done wrong.
63.B  推理判斷題.根據文章第四段中Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.可知,作者在接下來的時間里投入很大精力去努力學習.

點評 故事類文章是通過記敘一件事來表達中心思想的,尤其要分析文章的結尾,另外,敘述一件事必有其目的,或闡明某一觀點,或贊美某種品德,或抨擊某種陋習,這就要求我們在閱讀時,通過對細節(jié)的理解,把握作者的態(tài)度.

6.Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family,and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence,and that's just the reality of how life is.
However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it'll require even more time,time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it,you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work,don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent,hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want,but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

31.Paragraph 1 mainly talks aboutA
A.the reasons for success

33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves becauseD
A.work makes one feel pain                                     
B.one tends to enjoy his work
C.one gives up his work easily                                  
D.it takes a lot of time to succeed
34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?B
A.Successful people like to show their great skills.
B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
35.What is the main theme of the passage?C

B.Being good is different from being great.
