When I failed in the final exam, I almost lost heart. My teacher told me a quote, __1._ goes like this; “Your future depends on many things, _2._ mostly on you.” I can’t agree _3._ (much) with this view.

In _6._ words, we are the master of our own future.

Take Abraham Lincoln for example. He was born in a poor family, and only received a _7._ (limit) education in his childhood.

書(shū)面表達(dá)

請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，并按照要求用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的文章。

Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.

Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞會(huì)). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.

Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one situation, with one person, things didn’t work out.

Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to— people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.

【寫(xiě)作內(nèi)容】

1. 以約30個(gè)詞概括上文的主要內(nèi)容。

2. 以約120個(gè)詞就“How to deal with rejection”這一話題發(fā)表你的看法，內(nèi)容包括：

【寫(xiě)作要求】

作文中可以使用親身經(jīng)歷或虛構(gòu)的故事，也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。

【評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)】

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space needle. And, Longview has its squirrel(松鼠) bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.

The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.

The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.

One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth and that day’s coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council（市政會(huì)）. The council approved, and Council woman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”.

After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum（鋁） and lengths of fire hose（消防水帶）. It cost $1,000. It didn’t take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.

In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.

Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.

1.The underlined words “getting flattened” in the second paragraph mean “being______”.

A. killed B. guided C. stolen D. raised

2.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built to _______.

A. Provide drivers convenient way to pass

B. Honor the builder named Bess LaRiviere

C. Spread 60-foot fire hose

D. Help squirrels cross the highway

3.The rebuilding of the bridge was because_______.

A. it was made of wood

B. it was too narrow

C. it was too old

D. the repairs were too expensive

4.The best title for this article would be ______.

A. Nutty Narrows – Passage of Life

B. Lovely squirrels, Warm-hearted Drivers

C. Squirrels, Who Cares?

D. A Worn-out Bridge And Its History

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、和 D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

“If we can set it up so you can’t unlock your phone unless you’ve got the right fingerprint(指紋),” Barack Obama asked last Tuesday, “why can’t we do the same thing for our guns?” For this reasonable-sounding question, the president was praised throughout the media.

As it happens, though, there is a good answer to this question: there is no market for guns that work just some of the time. Guns are simple things designed to operate as easily and reliably as possible. The introduction of electronics eats away this simplicity, and to a degree that is absolutely unacceptable to the consumer. As President Obama well knows, the fingerprint software on his phone works rather erratically: Often it takes a user two or three tries to log in; occasionally, it falls asleep deeply and obeys the password. When this happens on an phone, the user is mildly inconvenienced. If this were to happen on a gun, the user would be dead. There is a reason that modern smartphones put the camera function outside of the authentication(認(rèn)證) process.

How could we possibly think that guns are the same as other commercial products? It is true that, say, cars have become considerably safer over the last few decades; true, too, that “research” has contributed to this improvement. But it matters enormously that a car is not intended to hurt people, and that in a perfect world nobody would ever be injured by one. Can we say the same of guns? Of course not. Guns are killing machines, designed to do damage to living things. In fact, they have no other purpose. As such, the salient(突出的) question before any free people is not “are guns dangerous?” they are, but “who gets them, and why?”

This is not to say that nothing at all can be done to improve public safety. On an individual level, gun owners should do everything to ensure that their guns are kept away from children, and, where possible, they should train themselves in case they are ever called upon to shoot in anger. At the national level, the combination of better policing and economic growth can help to reduce crime—and, indeed, it has. In 1993, gun crime was more than twice as common as it is now, and there were fewer guns in circulation. Unpleasant as it is in its own right, that we have reached the point at which two-thirds of all guns-related deaths are deliberately self-inflicted (自虐) is a small victory.

How to deal with those deaths that remain? That is a tricky one. I do not know the answer, and nor, frankly, does anybody else. But selling fantasies to the ignorant is not going to cut it.

1.What does the writer mainly argue in this passage?

A. Gun crime has been greatly reduced.

B. The idea of smart guns is not realistic.

C. Gun control will not succeed in America.

D. Guns-related deaths deserve public attention.

2.The underlined word “erratically” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. with effectiveness

B. with passion and energy

C. in an unpredictable manner

D. in a reasonable and fair way

3. The writer supports his ideas in Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly by ________.

A. analyzing statistics(數(shù)據(jù))

B. presenting problems and solutions

C. quoting the authorities(引用權(quán)威)

D. making comparisons and contrasts

4.Which of the following might the writer NOT agree with?

A. Few know how to deal with guns-related deaths.

B. Efforts to improve public safety have partly paid off.

C. The nature of guns makes them different from other products.

D. Guns using fingerprint software can risk the lives of the users.

It does not come as a surprise that Dubai has a growing problem with “tragic”. The local rulers have explored all the conventional ways to get traffic moving again，including higher prices for parking，fuel and insurance. But at a recent conference in Hamburg, Hussain Lootah said that the city may adopt a more strict approach: setting an income level for vehicle ownership.

Mr Lootah’s approach is unlikely to be copied widely, but mayors of other big cities around the world are starting to think about taking severe actions of their own, including complete car bans in inner cities．But the efforts may not be enough to reduce traffic and pollution. The problems will only get worse: the number of vehicles sold globally each year will grow from around 80 million today to more than 100 million by the end of the decade, according to IHS Automotive.

There are already a handful of car-free communities around the world．But these are typically small and often tourist destinations that seek to create a throwback(后退;返祖遺傳) in time, such as Sark Island, in the English Channel. The largest car-free urban area is probably Venice, where it is impossible to build roads and bridges to link the more than 100 small islands the city sits on.

Yet pedestrian malls(步行街) and other car-free zones keep popping up in cities around the world. Some cities are considering ways to limit central city access to “green” machines, such as battery-electric vehicles. Hamburg is perhaps the furthest along.

Such extreme plans may fly in a city such as Hamburg. But in many other cities the political resistance even to less far-reaching measures is hard to overcome. Michael Bloomberg, New York’s former mayor, tried twice to introduce a jam charge for much of Manhattan, but his plans were rejected by state lawmakers.

1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________.

A. Dubai government tries to improve its local incomes

B. Dubai government tries to solve traffic problems

C. Dubai government tries to reduce prices for parking

D. Dubai government tries to offer insurance to locals

2. It is still hard to reduce traffic problems, because ________.

A. Mr Lootah’s approach will be copied widely.

B. mayors take gentle measures toward them.

C. more vehicles will be sold globally each year.

D. complete car bans in inner cities are not made.

3.What causes Venice to be the largest car-free urban area?

A. Its natural geographical characteristics.

B. Its too many tourist destinations.

C. Its reduced number of cars.

D. Its government law on car free.

4.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. People can only walk in central city.

B. All vehicles can be used in central city.

C. Hamburg may not adopt “green” machines.

D. “Green” machines can be accessible in central city.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年安徽安慶市高二下期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Research on the human brain has been attracting the attention of more and more scientists in recent years. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i.e., to transplant (移植) a chip into human brain. This innovation (創(chuàng)新) may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists do is to enlarge the capacity (容量) of the hard disc. There are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.

Experiments were started on animals. In 1996, a transplant experiment performed at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology, deep and detailed studies were made of the swimming action memory area in Ted’s brain by the scientists. They got a lot of useful information. The information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had all the abilities “Genius” possessed. It could follow every gesture and order given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

1.We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. the two experiments are about memory transplants

B. the scientists exchanged the dolphin’s and the bear’s brains

C. there is no possibility of changing the human brain

D. “Idiot” got only some abilities “Genius” possessed after the experiment

2.The scientists did the two experiments to _____.

A. see if animals can be taught some special skills

B. see if animals can share some common knowledge

C. learn if it’s safe to do such transplant experiments

D. make preparative research on changing the human brain

3.The underlined sentence “The operation was a complete success” in the last paragraph means that _____.

A. the dogs exchanged their memories

B. the dogs could live as before

C. the dogs were as clever as human beings

D. the dogs were safe

4.It could be inferred from the passage that in the future _____.

A. human beings will be healthier

B. animals will be more tender

C. human beings may get knowledge more quickly

D. animals will cause more damage to the environment

In anticipation (預(yù)料) of an extraordinary visit, the streets and buildings of Havana, Cuba, were cleaned and painted by dozens of workers. What was the occasion?

For the first time in nearly 90 years, a sitting United States president was coming to Cuba, an island nation 90 miles south of Florida. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, joined by his family, stepped off Air Force One and onto a rainy runway, where Cuban dignitaries (高官) eagerly awaited him. “It’s wonderful to be here, ” the president said. The last time a U.S. president came to Cuba was in 1928. It was President Calvin Coolidge, and he arrived on a battleship. Obama will be in Cuba through Tuesday. He is set to meet with Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, attend a state dinner and even take in a baseball game.

The U.S. cut all ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist government took control of the island in 1959. In the years that followed, both countries’ opposing political views furthered the separation. Plans for social and economic change began after President Fidel Castro transferred power to his brother, Raul in 2008. Raul Castro then set a plan in motion to revive the country’s economy.

Since then, Cuba has been taking small, yet lasting steps toward change by removing a number of restrictions that had been set on its citizens, such as access to the Internet, the use of cellphones, and by allowing people to work at jobs not controlled by the government. Cuba, however, still has tough limits on media, public assembly and political opposition.

Obama hopes to share his vision for Cuba’s future during a speech he will deliver. Before the trip, Senior Advisor Ben Rhodes said the president hoped to use this visit as a way to “continue to create openings for great engagement between the American and Cuban people.”

1.What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A. President Obama’s arrival on television.

B. Obama and Castro talk about human rights.

C. The first serving U.S. president to visit Cuba recently.

D. First lady Michelle Obama was later welcomed.

2.What was the event showing Cuba’s change for the better?

A. Fidel Castro rose to power.

B. Raul Castro came to power.

C. Calvin Coolidge arrived in Cuba.

D. The U.S. officials arrived in Cuba.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Cuba is central to conflict.

B. Cuba takes on media freedoms.

C. Cuba is working towards progress.

D. Cuba makes sure the right to healthcare.

4.According to Ben Rhodes, which is the purpose of Barack Obama’s visit to Cuba?[

A. To bring negative change for Cubans.

B. To carry out his vision for Cuba’s future.

C. To break silence and no communications.

D. To give Mr Castro a list of political views.
