I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons. I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story.But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop. I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed. Later that night I drove for the first time by myself, which brought to me an amazing feeling I've never experiencedbut sill, I couldn't imagine ever telling anyone the truth. So I didn't. It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out.

''Indeed, he did.After a few minutes, his mother said, ''Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.We could use a sponge(海绵) , a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? '' He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, ''You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. '' The little boy leaned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert'smother responded to him?4What happened when the boy dropped the milk bottle?AHe got injured and burst into tears.BHe cried over the broken milk bottle.CHis mother scolded him for making a mess.DHis mother encouraged him to play with the milk.5What was his mother's purpose by inviting him to do the clean-up together?ATo inspire his creativity.BTo promote his responsibility.CTo develop his cooking skill.DTo improve his experiment ability.6Why did the mother take the boy to the backyard?ATo fetch water for cleaningBTop our milk into the bottle.CTo help him wipe off his memory of failure.DTo explore how to carry bottles successfully.7What is critical to the scientist's creativity?AHis childhood toys.BHis mother's strictness.CLessons from making mistakes.DFailure in scientific experiments.3.(2020届福建省泉州市高三第一次质检)Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the program's developers. ''The goal, '' he says, ''is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them. ''8Who is Monroe?AA coastal community citizen.BA climate researcher.CAn architect.DAVR program developer.9What does the underlined word ''vexing'' mean in paragraph 2?ABothersome.BDramatic.COriginal.DConvincing.10Why is VR technology employed here?AIt can cut down the risks of climate change.BIt can show severe results of climate change.CIt can introduce technology to the residents.DIt can predict the climate change accurately.11What is the purpose of the program?ATo trick more people to believe.BTo win the residentscooperation.CTo advocate the application of VR.DTo inform the residents of the solutions.4.(2020届广东广雅中学高三适应性考试)"How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller. "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf you were able to accomplish so much?"Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute (致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nursed presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hatred, they now noted a gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless'' child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.4The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to .Ashow a deep admiration for Helen KellerBprove that Helen Keller made a great contributionCbegin telling the story of Helen Keller teacher Anne SullivanDget the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much5What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph?ASullivan had a strange disease.BAlmost everyone ignored Sullivan.CSullivan was kept away from her parents.DSullivan was believed to have a mental problem.6What can we conclude from the article?ASullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning.BSullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was.CThe elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher.DWithout the nurse, Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later.7Which of the following would be the best title for the article?AThe Power of LoveBMaking a DifferenceCThe Secret to Being a Good TeacherDSimilarities Between Anne and Helen5.(2020届广西桂林调研)Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age.

They left to spend the night in motels or at friends homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.Challenging the weather that threatened to damp our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado(龙卷风)was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge windows and the cottage itself wouldnt offer safety from high wind.“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled(爬)beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundation of the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldnt hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.“Next time, well stay inland at Grandmas. Okay?” my dad said.8What did the family do before the storm came?AThey sat on the deck.BThey stayed on the beach.CThey packed up the cars.DThey visited their neighbors.9Where were the
