Everyone can try his best to achieve something. We don't need to be the best, but to challenge the limits of what we are capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and beloved person in my life. Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to an eight-year-old child didn't mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammar. And he was demanding , but he wasn't unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it. Luckily enough, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don't know the answer, ” I would say. “I can't do it!” “Perhaps you don't know the answer, ” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do if you don't have a try?” Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really

tried, that was enough. “Don't be so hard on yourself, ” he'd say.“Stop blaming yourself.

Did you try your best? Well, then you're not a failure. ” he often told me these words.

Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I

felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don't feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind,

not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor,

about truth, and about doing my best and he also taught me that all feelings and beliefs

have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, I believe that we can't all

be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best. And I know that's true because Mr.

Myrus told me that.

24. What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably

mean?

A. Strict. B. Indifferent.

C. Critical. D. Careful. 25. Why did the author think he was lucky in Paragraph 3? A. Mr. Myrus became his teacher again. B. Mr. Myrus was his teacher for eight years. C. He became interested in math because of Mr. Myrus. D. He developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author may have become a teacher. B. The author liked to recall his childhood. C. The author believed he would be the best of all. D. The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.

27. What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?

A. He is usually indifferent to the students.

B. He is responsible for his students and his teaching.

C. He is a person who isn't particular about what he wears. D. He is sometimes cruel and unreasonable to his students.

C

Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down?Consider these things to remember when you're having a bad day.

No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection, you'll never be content. Don't condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you'll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.

Success doesn't happen overnight. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.Don't kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn't easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important.

There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about. Don't complain about how terrible your life is. If you search for the lesson in your present struggle, you'll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.

Without hard times, you wouldn't appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process, you'll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes.

28. Which of the following summarizes this passage best? A. Every person has to go through hard times. B. Perfection doesn't exist in life.

C. We should accept the fact that life is not perfect. D. Things to remember when you are having a bad day. 29. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. Success will come quickly. B. Hard work leads to success. C. Success calls for patience.

D. Confidence is the first step to success.

30. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ______. 最新Word

A. lessons from struggles make us stronger B. all things are difficult before they are easy C. we should forget how we managed to survive D. similar situations in the future will never appear 31. Which statement agrees with the passage?

A. Hard times make us lose heart and be short of courage. B. Perseverance in time of hardships develops our strengths. C. Smiles when you fail will not help to improve yourself. D. We should try to avoid failures in the evolutionary process.

D

Nations in the UN have agreed that the world needs to completely stop plastic waste from entering the oceans. The UN resolution(决议) has no timetable. But ministers at an environment summit believe it will set the course for much tougher policies and send a clear signal to business.

Under the resolution, governments would establish an international task force(特遣小组) to advise on fighting what the UN's oceans chief has described as a world crisis. One controversial issue is the wish to include businesses on the global task force. Ministers say the problem will not be solved without business, but green groups point out that some firms in the plastics industry have been against restrictions for decades. Vidar Helgesen, a leading voice in the talks, told BBC News, “Business is listening to markets and seeing how marine litter(海洋垃圾) is a growing popular concern. It's possibly the fastest-growing environmental problem and it's therefore a fast-growing problem for business. We need to bring on board those companies that want to change things, and then look at taxes and regulations to make more companies act.”

Certainly, there has been resistance from plastics firms to the bans. One UN delegate, who did not want to be named, stated that journalists in some countries were being paid by the plastics industry to write stories about job losses following the plastic bag ban. But they did not mention the jobs being created in alternatives, such as labour-intensive basketwork, which provides work for the rural poor. But some governments are standing firm, and the meeting has witnessed individual nations declaring tougher action against single-use plastic bags.

The UN's spokesman Sam Barratt told BBC News, “Of course we would have liked to have gone further, but this meeting's made real progress. There's now a sense of urgency and energy behind the issue that we haven't quite seen before. What is obvious, though, is that the UN can't solve this problem on its own. We need to do it in partnership with governments, businesses and even individuals.”

32. What can we know about the UN resolution on plastic waste?

A. Plastic waste should be banned on land too. B. Plastic waste should be recycled by business.

C. The UN made exact time to stop it entering oceans. D. The UN may make stricter policies in the future. 33. What can we infer from what Vidar Helgesen said? A. Business doesn't see the problem of marine litter. B. Fastest-growing marine litter is a new problem.

C. Governments should force companies to act by policy.

D. Most companies want to stop marine life from disappearing.

34. Why did some companies pay journalists to write articles about job losses? A. To express their satisfaction with governments. B. To struggle against the strict plastic bag ban.

C. To show difficulties in labour-intensive basketwork. D. To make governments stand firm against plastic bags. 35. What is the best title for the text?

A. The UN is committed to handling ocean plastic waste B. The UN tries to protect the marine life C. We should solve the plastic waste problem D. We should ban plastic waste completely 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)

Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes. 38 最新Word

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing this letter to you to express my concern about the library in our school. I have noticed that the library has very limited books and magazines, which are totally not enough for students to borrow and read. Besides, the tables and desks are too old with various carvings on them.

As we all know, reading is important for the growth of the young. It relieves us of our pressure as well as broadens our knowledge. Therefore, my proposal is to store more high-quality books and magazines in the library for students to choose from. And the process of borrowing a book should be simplified. What’s more, the facilities in the library should also be renewed so that students can have a comfortable reading environment.

Thank you for your reading this letter.

Yours faithfully,

Li Hua

W: Today I'm going to tell you something about table manners in different countries. I believe you already know that people in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when having some liquid food to avoid making a noise. But in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink it. In Britain people try not to put their hands on the

table during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table through a meal. But it is in the Arab countries that we really must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do when visiting another country? Well, you can ask the local people there to help you with table manners or just watch carefully and try to do as they do, not as you do at home.
