Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English…Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal(目标)you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question.“ If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing is to bear in mind that failure is a part of life. Learn to “ live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.” 45. This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph 1, the author talks mainly about . A. the value of failure B. how people would fail C. famous failures D. the cause of failure 46. The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems . A. interesting B. straight forward C. sad D. deep 47. The author tells you to do all things except . A. to think about the cause of your failure B. to check out whether your goals are right for you C. to consider failure as a part of life D. to bear in mind that you will never fail in your life 48. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Bruce and Edison were successful examples. B. Failure may be regarded as a way towards success. C. Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce. D. One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth trying. C In American schools there is something called Home-coming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation(毕业) or commencement(授奖 典礼) day. Students plan homecoming day for many weeks in advance(预先). Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation. The members of school clubs build booths(摊位) and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors. During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school. Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen. Home-coming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering. 49.

Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programs and telephone hot lines, too. A hot line is a telephone line that offers a direct way of getting in touch with advisers. Most hot lines are completely anonymous—callers do not have to say their names or telephone numbers. Most hot lines are usually free, too. Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls—even if the calls are long distance. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. Usually the advisers are full-job people with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers have only taken a short class before starting to work on the hot line. All the advisers listen to people and help them solve their problems. 53. What does the word “anonymous” mean in Chinese? 54. What do people usually pay for most of the calls and advice?（不超过 3 个单词） 55. Who listen to people and help callers solve their problems? （不超过 3 个单词） 第三节 摘录信息（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第 56 至第 60 小题的空格里填上适当的单词 或短语，并将答案转写到答题卡上。 注意：每空不超过 3 个单词。 As we all know, all the governments in the world collect taxes, but what are they and what are they used for? Some people may know about them. There are two kinds of taxes. One of the most important taxes is income-taxes which a person pays according to the amount of his income. Whatever he is, he must pay tax if income is more than a certain amount. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government. Another tax is paid on goods. When they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers. People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on what they need. On one hand, we need policemen and soldiers to protect us from danger. Meanwhile, we also need schools and teachers for our children. On the other hand, we need officials and workers to serve us. Above all, we need money to develop our nation. Taxes, therefore, cann’t be avoided. We have no real reason to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizen.

In my opinion, the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge. Therefore quietness is badly needed for us to learn our lessons. But recently some students bring their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear the ring of mobile phones. Some of them even waste precious time in class typing short messages on the mobile phone. To keep the classroom quiet, I suggest our school make the following rules about the use of mobile phones in the classroom. First, those with mobile phones should turn them off in class. Second, they should not talk on the phone or send short messages in the classroom. Best wishes! Yours sincerely, Li Hua
