三.阅读理解

　　
　　When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish it as it’s the most precious thing in the world.
　　Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes，beat ourselves up about it，feel like failures，and get mad at ourselves.
　　And that’s only natural：Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，and 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 lights，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，and to fly.
　　Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，and 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 fight away.Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation...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 in 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 is 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.
　　1.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.
　　2.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.
　　3.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
　　4.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
　　5.The author wants to tell us________.
　　A.what you should do when meeting with difficulties
　　B.where you can find your mistakes
　　C.how you can avoid making mistakes
　　D.why you should celebrate your mistakes

　　答案：　C
　　2.解析：　考查动词短语辨析。空格处与前面的“make a”构成了动词短语：make a wish意为“许愿”;make a choice意为“做出选择”;make a living意为“谋生”;make a difference意为“起作用，有影响，有关系”。根据上文可知，Mark认为那些问题对他来说太大了，感觉自己在这里起不了什么作用。因此difference符合文意。

　　答案：　B
　　8.解析：　考查名词辨析。根据上下文语境可知，Mark在男孩处于危险的关键时刻伸出了援助之手，由此可知，孩子的母亲认为他抓住了时机，来得正是时候，timing意为“时机，定时”，符合文意。

　　Chinese style of crossing the road
　　Recently，a heated debate arose online in China about the Chinese style of crossing the road.As is shown in the picture，a large crowd of people are crossing the road regardless of red lights，which prevents the vehicles from moving forward even at the sight of green lights.
　　Various reasons might account for pedestrians to run traffic lights.Some people believe it is not against traffic laws and won’t be fined because so many people do it together.Others may argue that traffic lights are not arranged scientifically，so that they have to wait too long before they can cross the road.
　　In my opinion，the jaywalkers should be severely punished.Most important of all，people should be educated to obey laws from childhood.Start out small and develop a good sense and habit of observing laws.Only by improving people’s safety and law awareness can we create a harmonious society.
