4．Have you ever been sad because of failure？Please remember，for often，achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing．
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house．As he was working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch．"What are doing？"asked one of the visitors．"I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"the boy answered excitedly．The older boys began to laugh，telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible．After a while，the boy picked up a jar．He showed it to the visitors．It was full of all kinds of stones and insects．Then he said calmly and confidently，"Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth，but look at what I've found during this period!"
The boy's goal was far too difficult，but it did cause him to go on．And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen，in other words，to cause us to keep working!
Not every goal will be fully achieved．Not every job will end up with a success．Not every dream will come true．But when you fall short of your aim，maybe you can say，"Yes，but look at what I've found along the way!There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!"It is in the digging that life is lived．It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense．
11．The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to beC．
A．brave                B．impolite             C．foolish            D．warm-hearted
12．Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys？B
A．To drive them away．
B．To show what he had found in digging．
C．To show how beautiful the jar was．
D．To attract them to join him in the work．
13．What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text？D
A．Not dream can come true．
B．All work will end successfully．
C．Goals shouldn't be set too high．
D．Goals will make us work harder．
14．The best title for the text should beA．
A．Joy in the Journey                        
B．A Boy Dug a Hole
C．No Pains，No Gains                                
D．Failure Is the Mother of Success．

分析 文章講述的是我們不一定非要從目標的實現(xiàn)中才能取得收獲，在實現(xiàn)目標的過程中，我們可以得到很多．

解答 11．C 推理判斷題，根據(jù)The older boys began to laugh，telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible可知，大男孩認為挖穿地球是不可能，他這樣做是很傻的，故選C．
12．B 事實細節(jié)題，根據(jù)Then he said calmly and confidently，"Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth，but look at what I've found during this period!可知，他知道即使他無法挖穿地球，但是他收獲了很多．故選B．
13．D 文章理解，根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，即使目標沒有實現(xiàn)也是有好處的，讓我們一直努力．故選D．
14．A 主旨大意題，作者講的是快樂可以從實現(xiàn)目標的過程中體會．故選A．

點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

4．Admit it or not，many of us see that higher education equals a diploma，which in turns provides us with opportunities for a better life．But is that all college means？
"As tuition costs have skyrocketed，it makes sense （33）that people might try to get some of the benefits of college without paying，"commented the Atlantic．The full tuition at Yale for the 2014-2015school year is 63，250．Thisbreaksdowntoover7，000per month，while Dumas，a 28-year-old Canadian，spent only a few hundred dollars at Yale in 2009，couch-surfing （作沙發(fā)客） for about a month and （34）taking （take） classes．
However，Ollivier Dyens，deputy provost （院長） of student life and learning at Mcgill University，points out that most people go to college mainly to get a diploma．One of the benefits of a college diploma is that （35）it can help you earn more money．In 2012，young adults with a high school degree earned an average of 30，000，（36）whilethosewithacollegedegreeearnedanaverageof46，900in the US．
According to Dumas，the best advantage of college is networking．"The kind of people I met in Berkeley or in Yale，I don't know anywhere else in the world where so many smart，cool，open-minded，crazy people （37）can be concentrated，"he said．
Furthermore，a college is （38）where you discover what learning is about．"This will be the period when you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become a self-learner．The learning skills you acquire will be something you will cherish forever"，（39）written （write） to his daughter by Kai-Fu Lee，one of the most successful Chinese professional managers．
So （40）what do you expect from college？A diploma，like-minded people，or simply a learning experience？

1．A current topic of debate is the amount of support and services we are willing to provide for disabled people．Many people believe that society has become more caring over the old．However，if we look back in time，this may not prove to be true．A good example can be found by looking at some remains（遺�。� of a prehistoric culture．
Several skeletons（骨架） were found in the Shanidar Cave in Iraq．It was the home of a tribe （部落） of Neanderthals who existed more than 40 000 years ago．One of these skeletons was a man about 40years old，an old age for that period．He is thought to have been killed by a falling stone．Careful study of the bones has shown that the man's right arm had never fully developed and had been cut off below the elbow（肘）．The condition of the teeth was also unlike that of other Neanderthal men's．They showed signs of excessive（過多）use，as if they had been used to make up for the lack of a right arm．
How could someone so disabled from his earliest years have survived to become an adult，and even live on to old age？Societies in such early times faced severe conditions．People who could hunt for meat were few．A disabled person must have needed to keep close to the cave and been provided with meat．In fact，more care were shown towards this disabled man during that time，which suggests that the ancient people did better in caring their disabled people than we do in present-day societies．Such concern indicates a sense of unity（團結） and cooperation that made possible the future achievements of humanity．With this in mind，are we doing enough for the disabled？Rather than being too proud of the efforts that modern society has made，it would be wise to consider if we even equal the efforts of the old societies．

32．Considering the remains of this prehistoric culture makes usC．
A．believe that society has become more caring over time
B．look back at Iraq history with admiration
C．question if society has become more concerned about the disabled
D．want to give more support to primitive societies
33．The man could live until such an old age becauseC．
A．he could use his teeth very well
B．he didn't have to do any hunting
C．he was taken good care of
D．the environment was excellent
34．The example of this ancient tribe suggests thatD．
A．everyone could take part in most of the hunting activities
B．it was easy to find enough meat to feed everybody
C．life was not as difficult as modern man may think
D．they had greater care for human life than people commonly think
35．The author believes that true civilization is achievedC．
A．by looking to the future achievements of humanity
B．by modern people taking pride in their accomplishments
C．by supporting and taking care of all its members
D．only when we show proper concern for people living in the ancient time．

9．The world moves so quickly nowadays．With so many daily responsibilities，some of us can hardly keep our heads above water．Should we make time for studying  or appreciating the arts？Many people would say the arts are nice，but not necessary．In school，students should focus on languages，math and science．Painting，drama and music are frills． After graduation，listening to Mozart won't lead you to a better-paying job．
     In truth，spending time learning to appreciate the arts may be more worthwhile than you think．A recent British study examined the salaries and jobs of people who spent time enjoying the arts when growing up．The researchers found those who enjoyed the arts from an early age had better jobs and higher salaries than those who didn't．What's the link？How could visiting a museum，enjoying a symphony，or honing painting skills lead to career success？It turns out that the arts help us develop many useful skills．
      Other students have found students studying the arts exercise their reasoning ability．The skill helps with problem-solving．Creative and critical-thinking abilities are also developed through art study．Moreover，those who enjoy the arts have more motivation（動機）to achieve．Students who practice an art experience the rewards that come from persistence and goal-setting．These benefits also extend to those who make time to appreciate the arts beyond their school years．The best kind of art stirs our imagination and makes us think．Paintings aren't just pretty pictures．They tell stories about the lives of the subjects or about the experience of the painter．See Michelangelo's art and you'll taste the power of his faith in God．Look at the world from Picasso's point of view，and you see everyday life in new ways．Those who appreciate the arts also gain a broader perspective on the world．The arts reveal and explain the world beyond our own personal knowledge which can help us better communicate and cooperate with other people．
      If you want to better yourself，go and enjoy the arts．Check out an art gallery or a museum．Take in a play．You won't regret it and it will do you more good than you can imagine．
32．The underlined word"frills"in paragraph 1 probably meansA．
A．decorations    B．necessities   C．fillings      D．possessions
33．The benefits of enjoying arts are all of the following EXCEPTB．
A．communicating skills              
B．high positions
C．problem-solving  abilities            
D．creation and imagination
34．How is the passage developed？A
A．By providing examples             
B．By analyzing causes
C．By listing the facts                 
D．By comparing the facts
35．What is the author's attitude towards art appreciation？D
A．Doubtful      B．Opposed   C．Critical        D．Supportive．

13．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I was not a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to bear all this as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，and then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．
21．What does"Week by week her list grew"mean？B
A．She made a list of my shortcomings and kept on adding new ones so it was growing longer and longer．
B．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me．
C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on．
D．Week by week，my shortcomings grew more serious．
22．What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint（抱怨）？C
A．He told her not to pay any attention to what her"enemy"had said and just do what she wanted to do．
B．He criticized （批評） her and told her to overcome her shortcomings．
C．He told her to write down all her"enemy"had said and pay attention only to the things that were true．
D．He refused to take the list and want to have a look at it．
23．Which do you think would be the best title for this passage？B
A．Not an Enemy，but the Best Friend        
B．The Best Advice I've Ever Had
C．My Father                            
D．My Childhood．
