Even Intelligent People Can Fail
1  The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed．Turn on a light，take a photograph，watch TV，search the web，jet across the Pacific Ocean，talk on a cellphone(手機)．The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze(錯綜復雜)of wrong tarns．

2  we have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s success in heating a thin line to white．hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey，US．He did mat on October 22．1879．a(chǎn)nd followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight(點亮著的)in an airless space for 45 hours．Three years later he went on t0 light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan，even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he tamed it on，on September 4，1882．

3  “Many of 1ife’s failures．”the supreme innovator said．“are people who did not realize how close they were to Success when they gave up”Before that magical moment in October 1879． Edison had worked out no fewer than 3，000 theories about electric light，but in only two cases did his experiments work．

4  No one likes failure．but the smart innovators 1earn from it Mark Gumz,the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc，attributes some of the company’s successes in technology to understanding failure．His popular phrase is：“Y0n only fail when you quit．”

5  Over two centuries．the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing．Walt Disney,the founder of Disneyland，was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US$1．50 to get his shoes from me repair shop Pioneering car maker Henry F0rd failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car．

6  Failure is harder to bear in today’s open．a(chǎn)ccelerated world．Hardly any innovation works the first time．But an impatient society and the media want instant success．When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time．a(chǎn) critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records(Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music Actually，it wasn’t．After four years of losses，Geffen had 80 many hits(成功的作品)he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic an to himself．

第一篇     More Than a Ride to School
    The National Education Association claims．“The school bus is a mirror Of the community．” They further add that,unfortunately,what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community．They are right．a(chǎn)nd sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl Denson Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl
    Bruce Hardy．sch001 bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her new residence，she requested to ride the same bus
    This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She says．“It’s been a great ride so far!My bus driver is so c001 and has always been a good friend and a good listener． Sometimes when you’re a child adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr． Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important．”Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree．
    Brace Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975．This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation．Company President。Larry A1thouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record．“You do not come by employees 1ike Bruce these days；he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record．Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350，000 accident free miles， Hardy’s reputation  is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus’’

第二篇      Don’t Count on Dung
   Conservationists(自然保護主義者)may be miscalculating the numbers of the threatened animals such as elephants．say African and American researchers．The error occurs because of a flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of dung(糞)the creatures leave behind．
     The mistake could 1ead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society(wcs) in New York
     Biologist Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca，New York，agrees．"We really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we have is quite indirect,"says Payne，who electronically tracks elephants
     Counting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa．So researchers often estimate elephant numbers by counting dung piles in a given area．They also need to know the rate at which dung decays Because it’s extremely difficult to determine these rates．however，researchers counting elephants in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established elsewhere
     But researchers at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region to region depending on the climate and environment Using the wrong values can lead the census astray  (離開正道)，says Plumptre
     He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Cameroon They found that the dung decayed between 55 and 65 per cent more slowly than the dung in the rainforests of neighbouring Gabon．If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon，they would probably find more elephants than are actually around． 
     This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from decay rates calculated locally，says Plumptre“However accurate your dung density estimate might be．the decay rate can severely affect the result”
     Plumptre also says that the dung—pile census should be carried out over a region similar in size to an elephant’s natural range The usual technique of monitoring only small，protected areas distorts numbers because elephants move in and out of these regions，he says“If the elephant population increases within the protected area，you can not determine whether 1t is a real increase or whether it is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached(入侵偷獵)outside．”
     Plumptre says that similar problems may also affect other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests，tracks or burrows(地洞)

36 The word“threatened”in the first sentence of the first paragraph could be best replaced by
A．“endangered”
B．“frightened”
C．“killed”
D．“angered”

37 Why do researchers estimate elephant numbers in an area by counting dung piles?
A．Because elephants are difficult to catch
B．Because it is not possible to count elephants from a plane．
C．Because it is not possible to keep track of elephants．
D．Because elephants are shy animals

38 Piles of dung can’t be relied upon when it comes to estimating elephant numbers because
A．they are different in size
B．they scatter an over the region．
C．they are different in decay rate．
D．they are different in quality．

39 According to Plumptre，the region over which a dung—pile census is carried out should be
A．small enough
B．well protected．
C．carefully monitored．
D．large enough

40 The first word“He”in paragraph 6 refers to
A．Andrew Plumptre
B．Katy Payne．
C．Anthony Chifu Nchanji．
D．the writer of the article．

第三篇     More Than Just Money 
   　When Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse at Toronto Western Hospital．her employer not only cheered her on．but also Paid her tuition and gave her a day off with pay every week to study．Throughout her years at the hospital，Rochester　has also taken workshops on everything from coaching peers to career development——courses that she believes have helped her advance at work．“I’m now head of the mentoring(指導)
 program for new hires．students and staff nurses．”she says．“There’s a lot of room for personal improvement here．” 
   　Perhaps as important，Rochester says her employer supports and values her work．“If you put in overtime．”the nurse points Out．“you get your meals—they’11 order in pizza or Greek food or Chinese．”And if staffers feel stiff and stressed from too many hours on the ward．they can call for a flee 15-minute shoulder-and-neck massage(按摩)or even sign up for an eight-week evening course on meditation skills and stress-relief．If that’s not enough，employees can take advantage of five family days a year that can be used if the kids come down with the flu or an aging parent needs ferrying to an important doctor’s appointment And they have access to a range of perks(好處)such as special rates on hotel rooms，drugstore purchases，and scholarships for employees’children． 
   　You might wonder how an organization can provide such resources and still survive．But University Health Network is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that have discovered that investing in staff is good business． 
   　If such initiatives help companies cut down on turnover(人員更替)alone，they’re well worthwhile．says Prem　Benimadhu，a vice—president at the Conference Board of Canada．It costs anywhere frmn13，300 for technical staff and a whopping(巨資)$43，000 for an executive position，according to one study of Conference Board members
   　Innovative initiatives help companies attract talented employees，cut down on sick days  (which cost Canadian businesses an estimated3，550 per Employee)and keep employees more interested in their work．With the substantial talent shortage that already exists in Canada and the prospect of mass retirement over the next five years—as many as 50 or 60 percent in some sectors—Benimadhu says that intelligent employers are putting a renewed focus on the people who work for them．

41　When Rochester decided to go to school，her employer
A．persuaded her to change her mind
B．fired her．
C．cheered her on．
D．discouraged her．

42　Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to ease one’S stiffness and stress?
A．To take an eight-week evening course on meditation skills and stress-relief．

18 C  該題說的是：許多國家領導人會參加開幕式。但是文章沒有提到。

19 C  該題說的是：奧林匹克運動會以自行車比賽開始，原因是自行車比賽會吸引世界的注意。“奧林匹克運動會以自行車比賽開始”在第五段中是可以找到的，但是這樣的安排是“自行車比賽會吸引世界的注意”文章并沒有說。

37 B  該題問的是：為什么研究人員通過數(shù)糞堆估計一個地區(qū)的象數(shù)?第三段有這么一個句子，意思是說：從飛機上數(shù)中非廣闊的赤道雨林中的象是不可能的，研究人員通過數(shù)糞堆估計一個特定地區(qū)的糞堆估計該區(qū)域的象數(shù)。因此B是正確答案。

38 C  該題問的是：不可依據(jù)糞堆數(shù)估計象數(shù)的原因是什么?文章第五段第一句話是這么說的：……這種取決于氣候和環(huán)境的腐爛速率在不同的地區(qū)是不一樣的?？梢奵是正確的答案。A說的是：它們的大小是不一樣的。B說的是：它們散布在整個地區(qū)。D說的是：它們的質量是不一樣的。

40 A  該題問的是?第六段的第一個詞“He”指誰?一般情況下，代詞回指的詞必須離得很近。因此必定是“Andrewr Pqumptre”。

 第5部分：補全短文    · 
46 c  文章的題目是：用較快的速度閱讀。第二段的第一個句子說的是：在美國五 個小學生中至少有一個在學習閱讀方面有困難，雖然這些學生其他科目都不錯。這是一個總的說明，接著的句子應該具體化了。c就是進一步的說明：科學家說：這些孩子中的許多人的最大困難是如何使得讀音和字母對應起來。 
47 B  第四段的第一句話說的是：每天老師幫助他們弄懂字母如何表達叫做音素的語音單位的。光弄懂是不夠的，還需要實踐。B就是實踐：學生還練習朗讀和拼寫。 
48 E  第六段說的是：作為研究的一部分，研究人員用一個特殊的機器拍攝學生大腦的動作照片。B說的是：照片顯示左大腦后部的活動增加了。非常連貫。 
49 D  倒數(shù)第二段的第一句講的是試驗組的情況，D講的是用傳統(tǒng)方法的情況。放在一起可以構成對比，也很連貫。 
50 F  最后一段的第一句說的是：然而，有些研究人員仍然不太相信這一研究。從提供的選項中的第一個詞組可以看出，只有F是合適的，因為它的起始詞是“They’，  回指“some researchers”。
 第六部分：完形填空 
51 B  該段中有這樣一個短語“particularly difficult to catch”(很難找到他)，“well  known for keeping himself to himself”是“以與世隔絕為大家熟知”。可以看出，根據(jù)下文，用“well known”最為合適。 
52 A  hold：抱??；拿住。run into和bump into都有“撞上”的意思，這是不由一 個人的主觀意志所能控制的。 
53 D  對第一段做解釋時，提到了上下文可以幫助我們做出正確的判斷。緊隨其后 的是“It came as a complete surprise．”(這個獎來得很突然)。“shock”和“surprise” 意思很接近，因此選擇“shocked”是對的。 
54 c like作“喜歡”解時是動詞，而此處需要的是一個名詞。devotion后面跟“to”， attraction是“吸引”的意思。填入后意思不太合適。因此只有“love”是正確的選項。 
55 A despite引導的是一個反比，主旬中有一個“easy”，那么它的反義詞就是 “difficult”。 
56 B    “幻make a breakthrough”等于“t0 break through”。是周定的搭配。 
57 c    “t0 take one’s place”是“處于某種位子”，  是固定的說法。 
58 C  這里需要填入的是一個不及物動詞，“received”，“obtained”，“had”都是及物動詞，只有“won”既可作及物動詞，又可作不及物動詞。 
59 A  在這四個動詞中，只有“deal”可跟“with”搭配。 
60 D  整個句子說的是：在處理這個國家依然存在的暴力，犯罪和種族隔離問題，他的書能使一般人從內(nèi)部理解種族隔離。“從……角度”常用“from…”。 
61 D  “casts its shadow”是“給……帶來影響”，是固定的搭配。 
62 B    “think twice”相當于漢語中的“三思而后行”。正如漢語中不說“二思而后行”一樣，英文中也不說“think three times”，這是固定的說法。 
63 c  該句子的意思是，他作品中的純潔性反映到了他的個人生活中，“mirrored” 是“反映”的意思。 
64 A  從下文“far greater than the things he has given up”(比起他放棄的東西要多得多)來看，選擇“contributed”是對的。全句說的是：但是，他對文學、文化、南非人民所做出的貢獻比起他放棄的東西要多得多。 
65 D  其他三個動詞填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
