He loved winning at whatever it might be: football, cards, video games... And because he couldn’t stand losing, he had become an expert in all kinds of tricks. He could play tricks in every situation without being noticed, even in video games or playing alone. He could win without ever being caught.‎ He won so many times that everyone saw him as the champion. It meant that almost no one wanted to play with him. One person who did play with him was a poor boy. He was a bit younger. The champion really enjoyed himself by making the boy look foolish.‎ But the champion ended up getting bored. He needed something more, so he decided to apply for the national video games championship, where he would find some competitors worthy of himself. At the championship he was eager to show his skills, but when he tried using all those tricks he knew from a thousand different games, none of them worked. The judges had prevented (阻止) any of the tricks from working.‎ He felt embarrassed: he was a good player, but without his tricks, he couldn’t beat a single competitor. Finally, the judges announced the name of the champion. It was the poor boy whom he had always beaten!‎ The boy realized that the poor boy had been cleverer than him. It hadn’t mattered to the poor boy if he lost or got a good beating, because what he was really doing was learning from each of his defeats. And from so much learning he had become a real master. ‎ ‎29. Why could the boy manage to win at everything?‎ ‎ A. Because he was good at playing tricks.‎ ‎ B. Because he knew every situation well.‎ ‎ C. Because he was cleverer than others. ‎ ‎ D. Because he had better skills than others. ‎ 30. At the championship, ___________.‎ ‎ A. the judges praised the boy for his skills ‎ ‎ B. the judges stopped the boy from cheating ‎ ‎ C. the boy was quite proud of his excellent skills ‎ ‎ D. the boy defeated all the other competitors easily ‎ ‎31.What can we learn from the experience of the poor boy?‎ ‎ A. Pride goes before a fall.B. A good beginning is half done.‎ ‎ C. Failure is the mother of success.D. Never judge a book by its cover.‎ D Here’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle (努力) while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.‎ It might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don’t be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”‎ Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another instead of getting help from the teacher.‎ With the teacher’s help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly, but they did come up with a lot of good ideas.‎ The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working ‎ to find the answers helped students understand the process (过程), not just the solution.‎ Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a real attempt(尝试） to figure out (想出) or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.” ‎ ‎32. Which of the following is the best way to learn according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Figure something out on your own. ‎ ‎ B. Ask teachers for help in time. ‎ ‎ C. Be given the solution to the problem. ‎ ‎ D. Pay little attention to the process. ‎ ‎33.Kapur supported his idea by ___________.‎ A. showing causes B. describing an activity ‎ C. making a test D. introducing a method ‎ 34. In the last paragraph, Kapur advised students to ___________.‎ ‎ A. make efforts to win help from others ‎ ‎ B. use their head in an active way ‎ ‎ C. make an attempt at something new ‎ ‎ D. work out every difficult problem ‎ ‎35.What would be the best title for the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Raise your head B. Try your hands ‎ C. Stand on your own feet D. Work your mind 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余的。‎ Everyone knows that fish is good for health.36 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.‎ ‎38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one. There are many common methods used to cook fish. ‎ ‎ 40   First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.‎ A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it. C. This is how you can do it. D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. The fish will go bad within hours. F. When buying fish, you should first smell it. G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.‎ 三．课文填空（10分）‎ Festivals let people forgive the work and have a good rest to enjoy life better.
