Dear headmaster,

On hearing the news that a Reading Festival is to be held on campus on the World Book and Copyright Day

and the possible project is open to be recommended, I (21) ______ hardly wait to write to you, sharing my humble

opinions.

As far as I?m concerned, the theme of the festival can be “sharing”, primarily (22) ______ (consist) of three

parts. Firstly, the festival can start with a 30-minute discussion where groups of students can exchange and share

what

they

(23)

______

(expose)

to

recently,

expressing

themselves

freely.

Following

this

representatives

selected

by

us

are

to

share

and

recommend

the

book

to

It?s

to the library. As for when (25) ______ (hold) the activity, the afternoon may be an ideal choice so that it won?t

interrupt our classes.

My advice is justified by the following reasons. First and foremost, it is in the group discussion and exchange

that we students can have a thorough idea (26) ______ our peers are reading for the moment, serving as a driving

force for our own reading journey. So it is (27) ______ the books recommended. Named by those “idols” in our

mind,

they

will

definitely

win

our

heart.

As

for

the

donation,

the

benefits

are

self-evident.

(28)

______

______ can we share beyond our class or even beyond our school, developing a good campus tradition, but (29)

______ (importantly), these books which are sure to be dusted on our shelves can now be of more value.

I?m looking forward to your favorable reply. And (30) ______ is my sincere hope that the festival can be a

great success and we can gain a lot from it.

Yours,

Amy Young

Overcoming Obstacles: How Your Biggest Failure Can Lead to Your Success

There?s been a lot written on the theme of failure and how essential it is to success. In a world where __31__ is

given for people?s accomplishments, failing

feels dangerous. The fear of failure can stop people taking risks that

might lead to success.

Heidi Grant Halvorson, a psychologist, points out

much of success is __32__ not on talent but on learning

from your mistakes.

About half of the people in the world hold that ability in an area --- be it creative or social skill --- is natural.

The other half believes, instead, that someone might have a preference or something --- say painting or speaking

foreign languages --- but this ability can be improved through __33__ practice or training.

It?s

almost

impossible

to

think

rationally

(

理性地

)

while

shouting

at

yourself,

“I?m

a

failure”.

But

when

you

__34__ your thinking, you will probably see what you can control --- your behavior, your planning, your reactions

--- and change them.

The primary __35__ between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people fail more.

If you see failure as a monster approaching you, take another look.

Success is as scary as failure. Researchers report that satisfaction grows on challenges. Think about it --- a

computer game

you can always win is boring; one you can win __36__, and with considerable effort, is fun. In

pursuit of success, failure exposes areas that you need to __37__. So the failure serves as a brick wall to test how

you apply yourself to __38__ your objectives and how much you want them.

There is a way to distinguish whether a failure __39__ you to double down or walk away, says Halvorson. If,

when things get rough, you remain fascinated b

y your goal, you should keep going. If what you?re doing is costing

you too much time and energy or it?s not bringing you joy, you should give a second thought to the __40__ of your

goal and even set a new one.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in

each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

This article is for all of the teenagers out there. Even though __41__ you are years from being fully grown,

学年第一学期期末教学质量监控测试高三英语 试卷

society regularly expects you to adult. Yes, you are __42__ in many ways: many of you drive and do so quite safely,

and you handle schedules that would __43__ many adults. But you probably cannot process caffeine (

咖啡因

) as

constantly as your parents can because of your still-growing bodies and brains.

I understand it feels grown-up to be drinking a cup of Starbucks. But all of this caffeine may worsen

your

anxiety, affect tonight?s sleep and tomorrow?s school performance, __44__ nutri

ent absorption and even cause real

trouble when mixed with alcohol. The following four aspects may well __45__ the theme of this article.

The power of caffeine

Caffeine is widely considered a drug that is socially acceptable, universally used, even cool, but it still causes

__46__ symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and a lack of attention when removed from coffee-

addicts? diets.

How much is healthy?

Caffeine is by no means a nutrient; you do not need it to be healthy. __47__, it is a substance that can leave

you

lacking

nutrients

because

it

has

been

shown

to

reduce

calcium

(

钙

).

Caffeine

probably

causes

the

body

to

release water. And the more caffeinated drinks you consume, the less likely you are to drink water. So experts say

that adolescents sh

ould consume __48__ amounts of caffeine a day (≤100 mg).

Caffeine?s __49__

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 65 percent of middle and higher schoolers

are __50__ to insufficient sleep on school nights. Some of their sleep problems can be mainly attributed to (

归因于

)

caffeine, which can remain in the body for seven hours after __51__, thus causing teens? worse performance the

next day. It is widely assumed that adequate sleep __52__ proper growth and brain development. During childhood

and

adolescence,

the

brain

goes

through

a

period

called

synaptic

pruning

(

突触修剪

)

when

unnecessary

connections are promoted.

Caffeine labelling

Caffeine is not listed on the Nutrition Facts column on food labels because it is not a __53__. It may be listed

as an ingredient, but the amount is not required. Caffeine is now added to foods such as gum, candy and water,

along with makeup and beauty products that __54__ to reduce swelling (

肿块

).

Taste

preferences

and

eating

habits

are

often

cultivated

in

childhood

and

adolescence,

so

teens,

when

you

consume sweet, caffeinated drinks every time you feel sluggish (

无精打采的

), you are creating a pattern that may

be hard to break as an adult. It is advisable to come up with other __55__ ways to boost energy so that you can

master adulting better than many adults.

Section B

Directions:

Read

the

following

three

passages.

Each

passage

is

followed

by

several

questions

or

unfinished

statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according

to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

There

aren?t

many

actors

around

the

world

who

have

enough

self

confidence

to

turn

down

an

offer

from

Steven

Spielberg.

Maybe

that

was

why

Juliette

Binoche

gave

him

a

choice.

She

said

she?d

be

happy

to

be

in

Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing.

It?s difficult to imagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn?t seem to have

done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being,

The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.

Success in the United States has not been so easy for other foreign stars. Gerald Depardieu is a good example.

Since his first film in 1967, his filmography (

影片集锦

) lists 172 acting credits. But he has struggled on the other

side of the pond. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that

travelled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant who

goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic

comedy

which

typecasts

(

分配同一类型角色

)

its

lead

actors

in

terms

of

national

stereotypes.

While

some

reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film

and Depardieu?s performance.

While

Monsieur

Depardieu

hasn?t

received

the

recognition

he

would

have

liked

in

the

United

States,

one

Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success. Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in

2000 and a year later in Y tu mama tambien. Since then he has appeared with hometown hero, Brad Pitt in Babel

and,

under

the

direction

of

top

producer

and

director,

Jim

Jarmusch,

he

starred

in

Limits

of

Control.

He

hasn?t

picked

up

an

Oscar

yet,

but

he

was

nominated

for

a

BAFTA

(

)

in
