18．In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity （繁榮）．Others say that competition is bad； that it sets one person against another； that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit（追求）of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture In modern society there is a great deal of argument which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among themost vocal are youngsters who have suffer under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse："I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only when this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear（緩解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．

32．What does this passage mainly talk about？B
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Opinion about competition are different among people．
C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition．
33．The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3 meansC．
A．those who try their best to win．
B．those who value competition most highly．
C．those who are against competition most strongly．
D．those who rely on others most for success．
34．What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a"desire to fail"？A
A．One's worth lies in his performance compared with others．
B．One's success in competition needs great efforts．
C．One's achievement is determined by his particular skills．
D．One's success is based on how hard he has tried．
35．Which point of the view may the author agree to？D
A．Every effort should be paid back．
B．Competition should be encouraged．
C．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．
D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．

分析 本文是一篇說明文，主要說明的是有關(guān)競爭的觀點(diǎn)，不同的人有不同的觀點(diǎn)．有人認(rèn)為競爭有利于社會進(jìn)步，有人則認(rèn)為競爭讓人與人之間的關(guān)系變得緊張．那些遭受巨大競爭壓力的人，他們反對競爭，他們害怕失敗，害怕競爭．我們要把對失敗的恐懼從競爭中去除掉

解答 32．B      主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章主題段第一段內(nèi)容可知對于競爭，不同的人有不同的觀點(diǎn)．有人認(rèn)為競爭有利于社會進(jìn)步，有人則認(rèn)為競爭讓人與人之間的關(guān)系變得緊張．故B正確．
33．C       推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段中"Among the most vocal  are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．"可知，是指那些遭受巨大競爭壓力的人，他們反對競爭，故C正確．
34．A     　推理判斷題．根據(jù)"Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others"可知，兩種持不同觀點(diǎn)的學(xué)生，其實(shí)有一個共同點(diǎn)，那就是都要把自己的價值體現(xiàn)在于別人的比較和競爭中，故選A．
35．D         推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段"Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition．可推知，只有消除了害怕的競爭才有意義，害怕失敗可以在競爭中消除"故D正確

點(diǎn)評 做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

●Gather all of your keys in front of you．You may have keys in multiple locations-in your pocket，in a drawer，or in a handbag，for example．Gather them all in front of you．（37）F●Identify every key you own．With all your keys in front of you，make sure you can readily identify each one．（38）CIf there are skill keys you can't identify after testing them，either set them aside or throw them out

3．Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s，60s or even 70s？Most people consider when they get retired，they are supposed to be completely laidback，do something fun，or hang around．（36）GIt's particularly important to the elderly．
Through learning，we know how to think，how to memorize，how to ask questions and even how to interact with others．According to a study，while we are learning，"the brain creates neural（神經(jīng)）pathways"that make us smarter．（37）F The more we learn，the mote new neural pathways develop in our brains．
When it comes to learning，it doesn't mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge．What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out．（38）BEveryone learns from bottom to up．If we have an interest to learn，that desire will naturally push us to move forward．
As we feel worn out from learning，don't be discouraged．（39）EAn old saying goes，"Birds of a feather fly together．"As long as we have partners to learn all together，our learning excitement will come alive again．On the contrary，if we don't learn，and choose to distance ourselves from other，we might be getting dumb，and slow； eventually，we lose energy，and life passion．Instead of being bored，dumb，why don't we keep learning？
（40）DMore importantly，learning explores our life horizon，helps us build up our confidence； gradually，it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and achievement in the process of learning journey．

A．It's never too old to learn．
B．Don't worry if we cannot learn well．
C．You should set a high learning target．
D．Learning makes us understand how potential we are．
E．Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do．
F．In other words，our brains are active as we learn something new．
G．However，the truth is that learning makes us energetic，and self-fulfilled．

7．Imagine picking apples on Christmas or going skating on May Day．What about going for a swim on Thanksgiving？Without Leap Day（閏日），which takes place every four years，that could happen．
Our calendar is normally 365 days long．It was created to match the cycles of the seasons．But Roman ruler Julius Caesar noticed a problem：The earth doesn't circle the sun in exactly 365 days．It actually takes 365and one-quarter days．He figured out that the extra part of a day would cause the calendar to grow apart from the seasons over time．Over 100 years，the seasons would shift about 24 days．Spring would start on April 13instead of March 20．
Caesar used math to figure out a way to stop the calendar from shifting．He decided to add an extra day to the month of February every four years．His idea helped keep the seasons and calendar matched up．Even so，it still wasn't perfect-his calendar was adding too many days．
In 1582，Pope Gregory XIII worked on Caesar's idea．His calendar，called the Gregorian calendar，declares that every year that is equally divided by 400is a leap year．Turn-of-the-century years，or years ending in"00"，would not be leap years unless they could be divided equally by 400．These complicated equations（等式）help keep the calendar in balance with the orbit of the earth．Today，we still use the Gregorian calendar．In about 3，000 years，the calendar will be only one day out of step with the seasons，It's still not perfect，but mathematicians decided it was as close as we could get．

28．Why was Julius Caesar's calendar not good enough？A
A．There would be too many days on the calendar．
B．It would be only one day out of step with the seasons．
C．Spring would start twenty-four days later than usual
D．Leap Day would take place every other year．
29．It can be inferred from the text thatD．
A．the earth circles the sun in exactly 365 days
B．Caesar added an extra day to every February
C．Pope's calendar has been used for 3，000 years
D．Gregorian calendar is more scientific than Caesar's
30．Which of the following years is a leap year according to Pope？C
A．The year 2100．
B．The year 2200．
C．The year 2400．
D．The year 2300．
31．In which section of a website can you probably read this text？C
A．Opinion．B．Policy．C．Science．D．Entertainment．

8．A 33-year-old physicist in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid job teaching math on the Internet，and his lessons are reaching almost 100，000 people a month．Salman Khan's voice is heard every day on the net-by tens of thousands of students around the world who are hungry for help learning math．He has posted 1，200lessons an YouTube-lessons that appear on an electronic（電子的）blackboard，which range from（涵括）basic addition to advanced mathematics for science and finance．And they are free．
Khan lives in Silicon Valley，with his wife，a doctor，and their new baby．He got the idea for his"Khan Academy"12 years ago，when he taught a young cousin how to convert（轉(zhuǎn)換）kilograms to grams．With Khan's help，the cousin got good at math，and Khan began a new career．
Now，Khan records his lessons himself，but he never goes on camera．"It feels like my voice in their head．You're looking at it and it feels like someone's over your shoulder talking in your ear，as opposed to（與…相反）someone at the blackboard，which is distant from you，"he said．
When Springfield High School in Palo Alto，California invited Khan to speak in person-he immediately connected to the students there．
The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior Bridget Meaney．She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade．"I think the teachers are good，but they can't teach at a speed that's perfect for everyone，"she said．"I like the idea of learning something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper understanding of it．"
Originally，Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions（限制）．Now，he thinks short is better．"Education researchers now tell me that 10minutes is how long someone can have a high level of attention．And anything beyond that and your brain switches off，"he said．
For Khan，teaching math，science，and finance is just the beginning．He says he's ready to expand（拓展）his YouTube site to include other subjects as well．

54．What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online？B
A．His interest in Internet teaching．
B．His success in helping his cousin learn math．
C．A suggestion made to him at a local high school．
D．His discovery that many students found learning math difficult．
55．Why does Khan never go on camera？A
A．He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere．
B．He wants to keep distance from the viewers．
C．It's restricted by YouTube for education videos．
D．He's to a shy to show his face on camera．
56．From the passage，we know thatC．
A．Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
B．Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
C．Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
D．Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife
57．What does Khan mean by"short is better"in the 6th paragraph？B
A．Short lessons encourage students to return to the website．
B．Keeping the lessons short can ensure better attention．
C．Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more．
D．YouTube suggests short lessons for its site．
