25、        

Rowing is a good sport for people. The sport is not so commonly played in China, but almost half of all American high schools have rowing teams. Recently, the school where I study had a rowing season that gave me many great experiences.

     During the season, we practiced rowing a lot. We got up at six every Saturday morning and practiced for three hours out on the river. Each one of us had an oar（浆）, and we each rowed one oar with both hands. Together we pulled the oars, and the oars pushed the water back so the boat would move forward. After three hours of practice, we often felt very tired, because rowing is a very physical sport. When you row, you do a lot of work with your thighs and back.

     Though the practices were very hard, I chose to do them because I like the joy hard work brings. At every practice, I always did my best. Even when the coaches were not there, I kept rowing hard with my hands because I wanted to find out how well I could do. In order to move the boat fast, everyone on the team must keep the same pace (速度), so we needed to work together.

     The hard work I did during the rowing helped me develop my teamwork qualities. The experience also taught me that if you want to get something, you need to pay something first. As Americans like to say, “No pains no gains!”

【1】We can infer (推断) that the writer is _________.

A．a Chinese student studying in the USA

B．a rowing coach from America

C．a teacher of an American high school

【2】How often did the students practice rowing?

A．Every three hours.

B．Every morning.

C．Once a week.

【3】In order to row fast, the team members had to ________.

A．use their hands to push the water

B．row at the same speed

C．use their thighs and backs less

【4】From the story, we know that the writer _________.

A．doesn’t like hard work

B．likes to challenge herself

C．is not good at physical sports

【5】In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that __________.

A．we won’t achieve success if we don’t work hard

B．money plays an important role in life

C．a strong body is very important for our dreams

26、Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process（过程）. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually luck. First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.

In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of cookers, probably you know a lot about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn marks. They knew how much value their failures gave them.

I make my living by writing a daily newspaper. Each week I know that one part I write is going to be the worst part. I try my best every day. I have learned to love writing. A successful article usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way.

My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She spent three years practicing a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no meaning in putting her body into all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment(尴尬) in order to improve herself.

My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.

【1】What does the writer think of his daughter’s changing her show?

A．He doesn’t think it wise of his daughter to do so.

B．He is worried about the risk his daughter takes.

C．He is very excited about his daughter’s decision.

D．He stands on his daughter’s side no matter what the result will be.

【2】The writer talked about his own experience to show that ________.

A．past failures made him afraid of taking risks in writing

B．we should try every possible way to avoid failure

C．the thought of failure will make you work even harder

D．we cannot depend on luck to live a good life

【3】The writer develops the article mainly by ________.

A．following the time order

B．giving examples

C．comparing different opinions

D．giving a reason and its results

27、An “egg-laying” cliff（产蛋岩）in Southwest China has attracted（吸引）a lot of interest online recently.

The cliff, in Sandu County, Guizhou Province, has many egg-shaped rocks sitting on it. Most rocks are the size of a football, while smaller ones are still half inside the cliff, with only parts of them standing out.

28、

In the city I live in, some seats on every bus come in orange color, different from the rest which are blue. Those seats are intended for (预留) a certain group of people—the old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats i【1】 of the orange ones if possible.

One day, my friend Lisa got on a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She hesitated(犹豫) for a moment and slowly walked to it and s【2】 down. As the bus went on, passengers(乘客) gather from stop to stop and the bus became really crowded(拥挤) . At that time, someone near the door asked loudly if there was anybody who would like to o【3】 a seat to the old man who had just got on the bus. On hearing it, Lisa looked a【4】 to see where the old man was. She was even about to get up but found it d【5】 for her to stand up. Thinking that someone near the old man would help him, she remained(保持) seated. In fact, she had another r【6】 for sitting but she said nothing. To her s【7】 , she soon became the target of criticism(批评的目标) from some people standing beside her.

“Shameless,” a voice said.

“Morality decays(道德败坏),” another voice added.

Lisa kept s【8】 as the short conversation went. She didn’t want to say anything. She “should” feel ashamed(羞愧). Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment(尴尬).

If you were a passenger on that bus, would you stand out against her and blame(责怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadn’t known the story of Lisa’s side, I would. However, the truth is: Lisa had just a small o【9】 in hospital last week and was in recovery (恢复). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s【10】 as much as possible. The long bus trip would give her trouble if she stood all the way.
