10、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ADave needed to prepare for Saturdays fishing trip. He went into his hall closet, where he had more than 20 rods (鱼竿) and reels. Nowadays he went fishing twice a year at Big Bear, a huge lake in southern California about 7,000 feet up in the mountains.California tries to promote the fish

11、ing industry by sponsoring a Free Fishing Day twice a year, once in June and once in September. That was enough for Dave. He went mostly because it was a social event with a few friends, not so much to catch fish. Even driving up a winding two-lane road was worth the trip, not to mention the big, be

12、autiful houses and trees that lined the shore of the lake.Preparing was a project in itself. Dave had even created a computer file named Fishing Trip. It was a checklist of 45 things to take to Big Bear. He took two rods, because on Free Fishing Day you were allowed to fish with two rods instead of

13、the usual one rod. He took a hooded (戴着兜帽的) sweatshirt, jeans, two pairs of socks, a heavy hooded jacket, winter gloves, and a scarf. He also took shorts, a T-shirt, sunglasses, a big hat, and lightweight raincoat. If you go to Big Bear in June, better be prepared for hot or cold, rain or shine.He p

14、repared a couple of magazines to read just in case the fish werent biting. He and his friends joked that the fish were always biting in the spot you just left or the spot you were heading to.After about an hour and a half, Dave had gathered all the items on his list into a neat pile next to his door

15、. He went to bed knowing that tomorrows weather and fishing were unpredictable, but the good time with his friends was a given.21.

16、the lake22. Why had Dave created a computer file named Fishing Trip?A. Because he wanted to exchange experience with friends.B. Because he was afraid he would forget the things needed.C.

What

18、s the passage mainly about?A. Dave joined in Saturdays fishing trip.B. California promoted fishing industry.C. Dave prepared for a fishing trip.D. Dave packed up for the travelBWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “I know Im late，but its not my

19、fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you st

20、op focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carr

21、y along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.

22、k with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you

23、 are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault

24、it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stone for success.25. According to the passage, winners .A. blame themselves rather that othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleaguesD. deal with problems ra

25、ther than blame others26. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. improve B. accept C. avoid D. consider27.

I then drove to a very poor part of my town where I knocked on the most shabby-looking doors and waited.Once the door was answered, I simply said, “I k

28、now things can be hard sometimes and we all need a little help, I hope this comes in handy.” I handed over the shopping, smiled, turned around and walked away. The look on the peoples faces was priceless. The food fed the people and the gesture fed my soul.As always, “we make a living out of what we

35、k. Theyre known as the black box.When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean on June 30, 2020, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the boxs homing signal five days later,

36、 the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which

37、 became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the box was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane the area least subject to impact from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same yea

38、r, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises

39、and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. When submerged, theyre also able to emit

40、signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2020, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up.
