While most teams in this situation would be desperately trying to regain their 41 for bravery and will to fight, his team just seemed to slowly walk around, 42 sunflower seeds, and laugh at jokes made by teammates.

Because in some ways, it is.‎ Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.‎ And that’s only natural: most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, that we should try to avoid mistakes. We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.‎ Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.‎ By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.‎ Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.‎ Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly ‎ know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.‎ So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.‎ ‎56. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?‎ ‎ A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.‎ ‎ B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.‎ ‎ C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.‎ ‎ D. Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.‎ ‎57. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?‎ ‎ A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.‎ ‎ B. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.‎ ‎ C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.‎ ‎ D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.‎ ‎58. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means .‎ ‎ A. a small child learning to walk B. a kindergarten child learning to draw ‎ C. a primary pupil learning to read D. a school teenager learning to write ‎59. We can learn from the passage that .‎ ‎ A. most of us can really grow from success ‎ B. growing and improving are based on mistakes ‎ C. we learn to make mistakes by trial and error ‎ D. we read about something and know how to do it right away B If you ask me for my biggest impression of what America’s like over the last three years, I’d say it is how rich and diverse the student life is. For example, at Princeton, we have more than 100 student organizations planning all kinds of campus activities—from sports, band dancing to juggling and acting to translation, design, publishing, volunteering and camping. You name it.‎ During my freshman year, I tried a lot of activities, from dancing to design to newspapers. Then I found my passion in the environment and volunteerism. I joined Greening Princeton and Student Volunteer Council. A year later, I’d become the publicity chair and project coordinator (协调员) of these two clubs.‎ Student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at. If we have a good idea, we can propose it at a meeting, find interested people to form a team, and then apply for funding from the school. We have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen. For example, I came up with the idea of Dining and was supported by my club Greening Princeton. I wrote a proposal, presented it in front of the college master, and communicated with the head of Dining Services. After a few follow-ups, this project was carried out.‎ One other benefit of extra curricular (课外的) activities is the friendship that comes with them.‎ ‎ Once you become part of a group, it is much easier to adjust to college life. You realize you are not alone. This will most likely increase your study efficiency and in turn help your academics. My headmaster once told me, “Stand on your tiptoes.” In that way, we not only have a better view of life, but will also put out our comfort zone. Getting involved in extra curricular activities has given me the opportunity to stand on my tiptoes.‎ Make yourself try new things and stick to the things that matter to you. This is one piece of advice I have. Remember, college is a color palette. You are the artist who can add your own colors. ‎ ‎60. The author mentions one hundred student organizations to show .‎ ‎ A. students are free to learn their major B. student activities are colorful there ‎ C. each organization belongs to a college D. students have to join in one of them ‎61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Students can do what they care about and are good at in class.‎ B. Taking part in the activities after class has three advantages.‎ C. Students can balance their college life with these activities.‎ D. Each of the students has to take part in more than two items.‎ ‎62. The purpose of the passage is to .‎ ‎ A. show off the author B. advertise the school ‎ C. say something interesting D. introduce college life C A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.‎ A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. The people live in 28 countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.‎ P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3,000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on the earth stays the same.‎ Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.‎ The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.‎ The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.‎ The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have. ‎ ‎63. The first four paragraphs mainly tell us .‎ ‎ A. the fact of the global lack of water B. the importance of water resources ‎ C. the seriousness of water shortage D. the study of the global water condition ‎64.

To use water in a variety of ways. B. To become aware of the water problem.‎ ‎ C. To reduce the use of agricultural water. D. To limit the rising birthrate of the earth.‎ ‎66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?‎ ‎ A. ①②③→④⑤→⑥⑦ B. ①②③④→⑤→⑥⑦‎ ‎ C. ①②③④→⑤⑥→⑦ D. ①②③→④→⑤→⑥⑦‎ D Driving Offence Points System What is Driving Offence Points System?‎ After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment.

No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.‎ Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.‎ The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students' expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.‎ To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities.‎ It is believed that host family accommodation will keep popular with international students.‎ Title: Host Family Accommodation ‎(81) △ ‎ Host family accommodation refers to a kind of accommodation in which the student is treated as a full member of the host family, eating together and sharing the living areas with the hosts ‎(82) △ ‎ Language study Students learn the language faster because they have enough time to (83) △ with their “host parents”‎ Cultural communication It is more convenient for students to communi- cate and get to know the local (84) △ , ‎ people and culture ‎(85) △ of accommodation Sometimes it is the least expensive and enables students to live at a low cost Problems Loss of the selling point Hosts (86) △ enough time to commu- nicate with students Rise in (87) △ ‎ Students are demanding more from their host families ‎(88) △ ‎ taken Improvement of service quality Hosts are (89) △ living conditions. ‎ They are offering students structured activities ‎(90) △ ‎ Host family accommodation will keep popular with international students 英语参考答案 听　　力： 1-5 BCBBA　 6-10　BACBA　11-15　CAACB　16-20　BCBAB ‎21~25 A C CA D 26~30 B A A C C 31~35 B D D C B ‎ ‎36~40 A B A C D 41~45 C B D B A ‎ ‎46~50 C D A D C 51~55 B D A B C ‎ ‎56-70每小题2分。‎ ‎56~60 C C A B B 61~65 C D A C D 66~70 B D A D D 单词拼写：71. possess　72. beneficial　73. correspond　74. withdrawn　75. addiction　‎ ‎76. departure77.
