know what was inside.After an accident with a radio,West paid special attention to electricity.But his parents wereconcerned about the future job for an African-American scientist.They preferred him to become adoctor.However,West headed to Temple University in 1953 to study physics.Because of his schoolperformance in physics,he managed to get training during the summer at Nokia Bell Labs,a world-known American industrial research and scientific development company.He received a collegedegree in physics in 1957,and upon graduation,he became a worker at Nokia Bell Labs.In 1960,while at Bell,West teamed up with scientist Sessler to develop a less expensive,morepowerful and smaller microphone（麦克风），In 1962,they finished the development on theproduct.Their invention became the industry standard.And even today,90 percent ofmicrophones-for example,found in telephones,tape recorders,baby monitors and hearing aids are based on their technology.West was chosen as Inventor of the Year by the state of New Jersey and president of the AcousticalSociety of America.And both West and Sessler were chosen into the National Inventors Hall ofFame.West left Bell in 2001.After some interviews with several universities,he chose the Johns HopkinsUniversity and became a research professor at its Whiting School of Engineering.discovered thatJohns Hopkins was a lot like Bell Labs,where the

ked.A.collecting various toolsB.working hard at schoolworkC.helping repair household machinesD.studying the operation and structures of machines5.What can we know about West from Paragraph 2?A.His university was famous for its physics teaching.B.His good performance made him get a promising job.C.He gave up the chance to turn his interest into his major.D.He hardly got his parents support for his further education.6.Paragraph 3 shows West and Sesslers i n v e n t i o n.A.went through plenty of difficultiesB.was unpopular in the market at firstC.was inspired by some electronic

good working atmosphere for teamwork.D.It was rich in teaching resources and advanced technology.cScientists have discovered a bit of hand-made string（线绳）thats around 50,000 years old in第2页 共1 1页Neanderthal remains.The first Neanderthal remains were found in the Neander Valley in Germany,which is where the name comes from.Neanderthals may have lived mainly in caves and madestone tools,but recent discoveries have given hints that Neanderthals developed some advancedskills that people used to think impossible.For example,Neanderthals knew how to make gluefrom the bark（树皮）of a tree.Now,scientists report theyve found a piece of string on a stone tool made by Neanderthals.Beforethis,the oldest known piece of string was one made by humans about 19,000 years ago.The stringis about a quarter of an inch long.Almost all things made from plants during that time have brokendown and disappeared,so its very special to find this bit of string.The scientists dont know whether the string was attached to the tool.But that doesnt interestthem as much as the fact that Neanderthals knew how to make string.Bruce Hardy,the leadscientist on the project,says that knowing how to make string was meaningful for humans./zWewouldnt really be here today without that technology/he says.Making string is a very arduous process.This string was made from the inside bark of an evergreentree.To make string that is strong enough,the string must be made of several smaller fibers twisted（缠绕）together in a special way.For the Neanderthal string,several fibers needed to be twistedtogether into something like yarn.Then three pieces of yam needed to be twisted together in theopposite direction to make the final string.The scientists Arent sure what the string was used for,but they say that string like,the bit that wasfound could be used to make bags,baskets,traps,or other things.The researchers also suggestthat because Neanderthals needed to make pairs and count fibers to make the string,the bit ofstring may also tell us something about the kinds of math that Neanderthals could do.8.What can we know about Neanderthals?A.They were named after a nation.B.They didnt know how to make tools.C.They were not as smart as scientists thought.D.They may master more skills than people realized.9.What is special about the string?A.It is surprisingly long.B.It was made from wood.C.It survives a long history.D.It was attached to a stone tool.10.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A.Neanderthals strengthened stone tools with the string.B.The scientists think the string is part of the stone tool.C.The string-making skill is of great importance to humans.D.Neanderthals had great difficulty in inventing the string.11.What does the underlined word“arduous“in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Difficult.B.Normal.C.Creative.D.Boring.DAfter years of teachers asking for the right answers,students arent used to someone asking forthe wrong ones.Students failure tends to create mental burden that negatively affects learning.第3页 共1 1页Lifting the burden requires us to face failure bravely and encourage students to accept it as anatural part of getting educated.While educators have to make sure that students have the rightcontent and support to avoid long-term failure,it is just as important to accept mistakes as a normalpart of education.Sadly,our culture is so focused on success or perfection that students generally arent taught aboutfailure.To fill the gap,I share with students a Samuel Beckett quote Ever tried.Ever failed.Nomatter.Try again.Fail again.Fail better”.It suggests one becomes better after each failure.I alsoplay a video on game designed by Extra Credits,which shows people can quickly declare their waysas a failure if they dont work out and then learn from.them to move on.Both the quote and thevideo can help students get a more positive attitude towards failure.Teachers can help students accept failure better.In her piece z/5-Minute Film Festival:Freedom toFail Forward”,Edutopia author Amy Erin Borovoy had a set of videos-and articles on the subject offailure.Borovoy reminds readers that a true thinker learns as much from failure as from success/Taking these short videos as monthly or weekly reminders can,be a great way to start“how havewe failed and what have we learned discussions with students.Teachers can actually use a technique called/Effective Failure to teach about failure at any time.In my writing class,I often have students volunteer to pick out the worst writing of their own.Thislets writers deepen their understanding of why a sentence,word choice,or paragraph constructionhas failed,and it inspires a sincere interest in better writing.This makes failure work well in class.Also,remember that students are not the only ones who can learn from their mistakes.As thosewho teach students,we should do that too.12.What matters in education according to Paragraph 1?A.Helping students face failure calmly.B.Making sure every student gets educated.C.Allowing students to show their true selves.D.Training students to get used to long-term failure.13.Samuel Becketts quote and the video by Extra Credits both.A.show the benefits of failureB.help students develop more interestsC.provide some ways to reduce failureD.teach students to get relaxed properly14.What can we learn about the author from the example in Paragraph 3?A.He tried to advertise for those videos.B.He considered Borovoy a role model to students.C.He thought the videos useful in teaching about failure.D.He found video teaching an easy way to attract students.15.What benefit do students get when the technique Effective Failure“is used in class?A.They enjoy communicating with others.B.They are brave to admit their disadvantages.C.They can find more interesting writing topics.D.They improve by learning from their weak points.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。第 4 页 共 1 1 页Teen
