a. climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise. b. people are silly to pay to go to the gym. c. those who want to achieve success cant expect to live an easy life. d. peoples attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed. 2. by quoting what douglas bader said, the author intends to tell us“”a. failure is the mother of success. b. a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. c. if you venture nothing, you will have nothing. d. nothing is difficult to the man who will try. 3. following this passage, the author will further talk about. a. how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he facedb. what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you facec. what great people have in commond. why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity4. which of the following can best function as the title of the passage? a. face adversity with a smileb. different attitudes towards adversityc. nothing is impossibled. life is full of adversitybabout 30 years ago, i left cuba for the united states with my son. after getting settled finally in brunswick, new jersey, i enrolled(注册)my son in kindergarten. several weeks later, my sons teacher asked me to meet him at his office. in the teachers office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)? does he suffer from any kind of mental disability? ”was he talking about my wonderful scola? no, no, it cant be. what a helpless, lonely moment! i told him that scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead. i asked him why he was asking me all these questions. my son could not follow the teachers directions, he told me, and thus, scola was disrupting the class. didnt he know my son did not speak english yet? he was angry; “why hasnt your son been taught to speak english? dont you speak english at home? ”no, i didnt speak english at home, i replied. i was sure my son would learn english in a couple of months, and i didnt want him to forget his native language. well, wrong answer! what kind of person would not speak in english to her son at home and at all time? “are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society? ”needless to say, i tried to tell him i was not one of “those people”. then he told me the meeting was over, and i left. as i had expected, my son learned to speak english fluently before the school year was over. he went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures. he travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. and he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的). speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other placessomething very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” i met in new jersey. 5. the teacher asked the author to his office. a. to discuss scolas in-class performanceb. to get scola enrolled in kindergartenc. to find a language partner for scolad. to work out a study plan for scola6. what does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph4 probably mean? a. breaking. b. following. c. attending. d. disturbing. 7. the authors attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as. a. criticalb. casualc. positived. passive8. this text is likely to be selected from a book of. a. medicineb. educationc. geographyd. history【拓展题型训练】阅读第二节根据文章内容，从下框的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。a. get movingb. start with soupc. take a warm bath d. spend time being sociale. how to warm you right upf. ways to stay warm in winter1. at the first signs of oncoming winter, many of us look for any excuse we can get to stay in bed. but hibernating（冬眠）indoors isnt the only way to stay warmhere are far healthier ways to heat up, many of which even come with added health benefits. 2. spending time socializing could make you feel physically warmer than being alone. a study conducted by the university of toronto researchers found that social absence literally feels cold. so despite the cold temperatures and the temptation to hibernate, make an effort to spend some time with your friends or partners. 3. make an effort to exercise and youll get benefits and maintain a healthy weight. moving will increase blood circulation throughout your body, which can help you stay focused, handle stressful situations and, of course, warm up. thats because when its cold out, circulation in parts of the body, like the fingers, decreases, which is why those extremities（四肢）are often the first to feel cold when the temperature drops. 4. like tea, a hot soup can warm you from the inside out. but it could do more than help you heat upsoup is filling, which means it could help if youre trying to cut calories. a 2007 pennsylvania state study found that participants who first ate soup before their lunch main dish reduced their calorie intake by 20 percent, compared to the soup-less people. start with a fiber-filled soup to cut your calorie-intake and warm up. 5. escape the cold with a warm soak in the tub and sleep better, too. thats because our body temperatures naturally cool down around the time we should go to sleep. health. com reports that taking a nice warm bath a couple hours before bedtime can raise your body temperature, soak your tension away and help you feel more relaxed. 情景对话根据对话情境和内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。police：excuse me, but i guess this is your car！driver：why, yes. 1 police：you cant park your car here. havent you seen the “no parking” sign?
