Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 36 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 37 right to our children.
When I see a child 38 to this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third grader. His 39 of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He 40 answered questions — he might be wrong.
I tried my best to build his 41. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom.
She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 42 her.
One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 43 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress, I 44 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 45 . He’d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 46. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.
"Look, Donnie," she said, kneeling beside him and gently 47 the tear?stained face from his arms. "I’ve got something to48 you." She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.
"See these 49 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are 50 ? That’s because we make mistakes too.But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you 51 learn to do, too."
She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said, "I’ll leave one of these pencils on 52 desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 53 teachers." Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.
The pencil became Donnie’s 54 possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually 55 him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.

文章首先通過議論來說明犯錯誤是人們學習過程中的必要部分，但老師和家長往往剝奪孩子犯錯誤的權利，導致孩子害怕犯錯誤。然后，通過具體事例說明應如何對待犯錯誤的孩子，怎樣鼓勵他們，培養他們的自信心。理清文章的結構、把作者敘述的故事和作者想要表達的觀點結合起來理解分析是做好這篇完形填空的關鍵。
36.C 犯錯誤應該是人們學習過程中"必要的"部分。
37.B 大人有犯錯誤的權利，孩子也應該擁有"同樣的"權利。
38.D (be) subject to為習慣表達，意為"容易受……的影響、容易遭受"。
39.A 由后文得出，Donnie"害怕"犯錯誤。
40.D 由上下文的邏輯關系得出，因為Donnie害怕犯錯誤，所以"很少"回答問題。never太絕對。
41.C 作為老師，"我"應該是盡力建立他的"自信"。
42.A 這位見習老師如此可愛，關愛學生，當然受到學生的"尊敬"。
43.B 從后面Donnie漏掉了第三題以及他數學不好判斷，此處選"抄"下了數學題符合邏輯。
44.A "我"對Donnie的進步感到滿意，因此把學生交給見習老師Mary Anne。Leave sb. with 為固定結構，意為"把……托付給……"。
45.D 后面有Donnie淚流滿面的提示。
46.B Mary Anne臉部一"亮"，說明她有了一個好主意。
47.A Mary Anne為了鼓勵和安慰Donnie，輕輕地"托起"了他的頭。
48.B 從后面Mary Anne所做的動作判斷，她想通過形象的方式向Donnie"展示"犯錯誤是很自然的事情。
49. A Mary Anne以"鉛筆"和橡皮為例說明犯錯誤的普遍性。
50. C 在具體的語境中考查形容詞的運用。橡皮經常用來"擦"寫錯的東西，因此是"磨損"了。be worn 當"破損"講。
51.B must說明人的觀點和建議，符合題意。
52.D 從后面看Mary Anne把一支鉛筆放在了Donnie的桌子上，給他以鼓勵和啟示。
53.C even表示程度更進一步，符合邏輯。"甚至"老師也經常犯錯誤。
54. A B、C意義和possession重復，expected文章中沒有信息依據。因此此處是Mary Anne把鉛筆作為"獎賞"給了Donnie。
55. C Mary Anne通過形象、淺顯的方式最終"說服"了Donnie,使他擺脫了害怕犯錯誤的心理陰影。

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.
Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes?
A. Cruel. B. Serious. C. Strict. D. Cold.
From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.
A. the skill to throw and catch things
B. the speed of one’s hand movement
C. the strength and skill to hang and sway
D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar
What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply?
A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.
When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because ______.
A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars
D. they were astonished to find the author’s progress
The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.
A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph
D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
（A）
According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day．To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”— something each of us does daily．
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way．First this involves an awareness of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal．Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss．
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways．For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph．
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results．To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another．
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day-to-day activities．
56．Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A．To prepare a meal． B．To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way．
C．To buy some books from a bookstore． D．To “write” a letter with the computer．
57．The author holds the opinion that ____．
A．creativity demands genius
B．creativity is connected with a deep insight （洞察力） to some extent
C．creativity is to create something new and concrete
D．to practise is the only way to cultivate one’s creativity
58．What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A．It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice．
B．To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing．
C．One may come up with a new thought, but whether or not to put it into practice all depends．
D．A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor．
59．The best title for this passage is ____．
A．How to Cultivate One’s Creativity B．What is Creativity?
C．The Importance of Creativity D．Creativity——a Faraway Thing

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學年江蘇省南京市高三上學期期中考試熱身卷（英語） 題型：填空題
請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。
注意：每空格1個單詞。
People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.
I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.
Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would literally attract her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.
“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”
Through a muffled sob, he continued. “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag.”
Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”
There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.
When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.
All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010屆湖南省高三下學期3月月考英語試題 題型：閱讀理解
Fear can be a wonderful feeling in our lives, protecting us from dangerous situations and keeping us safe. But fear can also limit our lives significantly. While it may not be conscious, fear may make us think we are unacceptable or that what we have to offer isn’t valuable. Fear may make us feel that we are not safe being ourselves.
To avoid feeling fear, we may limit our lives greatly, living in tiny boxes. Living this way gives us the illusion(假象) of safety but leaves us with an unfulfilling life of no passion. If we shine a light on many of our fears, we see they have a very limited view of what is “safe” and how to “protect” us. Many of our fears are concerned only with protecting us from humiliation(羞辱) and failure. While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well, they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming. Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children. Indeed, many of our current, automatic reactions to fear were actually formed when we were children.
Even so, it’s important not to judge ourselves for feeling these types of fears. If we judge ourselves, we will bury our fears or disguise them. By denying our fears, however, we also deny our energy, creativity and passion.
So what do we do with fear? We recognize the fear for what it is--- a feeling we’ve experienced many times in the past and a feeling we will experience many times in the future. We become very familiar with our own particular brand of fears and how we allow them to control our lives. It is especially beneficial for each of us to become aware of the particular behavior patterns we’ve adopted when we feel fear, so we can look at our reactions with a sense of humor and compassion. Then, if we wish, we can choose a different response, which can be a scary yet very exciting experience.
66. According to the first paragraph, fear sometimes .
A. protect us when we’ve made mistakes B. makes sure our feelings are not hurt
C. brings great change to our everyday life D. makes us lose confidence in ourselves
67. It can be inferred from the passage that the author .
A. thinks it difficult to control our fear B. believes fears protect us negatively
C. thinks it’s good to criticize ourselves D. values the advantages of feeling fear
68. According to the author, the ways we react to fear .
A. vary from person to person B. have been formed since childhood
C. develop during our growth D. will not change until we get old
69.The last paragraph mainly tells us .
A. what is the essence of fears B. usual reactions we have when feeling fear
C. how to deal with fears reasonably D. the importance of humor and compassion
70.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is fear managing your life? B. Be calm when feeling fear
C. What do you fear most? D. Passion, chance and fear
