Samuel
Langhorne
Clemens
(November
30,
1835-April
21,
1910),
better
known
by
his
pen
name Mark
T
wain, was an American author and
humorist. T
wain grew up in Hannibal,
Missouri,
which provided the 1
_for Huckleberry Finnand T
om
Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a
printer, he worked as a typesetter and
2 articles to the newspaper of his older
brother,
Orion Clemens. He later became
a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before
heading west to
join Orion in Nevada.
He referred humorously to his singular lack of
success at mining, turning to
journalism for the Virginia City
T
erritorial Enterprise. In 1865, his
3_ story The Celebrated
Jumping
Frog
of
Calaveras
spent
some
time
as
a
miner.
The
short
story
brought
international
attention, and was even translated into
4 Greek. His wit and Satire, in prose and in
speech,
earned 5_ from
critics
and peers, and he was a
friend
to
presidents,
artists,
industrialists,
and European
royalty
.
Though
T
wain earned a great deal of money from
his writings and lectures, he 6 _ in
ventures
that
lost
a
great
deal
of
money
,
notably
the
Paige
Compositor,
a
mechanical
typesetter,
which failed because of its_
7__ and imprecision. Following these
financial setbacks, he filed
for
protection from his
creditors
via
bankruptcy
,
and
with
the
help
of Henry Huttleston
Rogers_ 8
overcame
his
financial
troubles.
T
wain
chose
to
pay
all
his
pre-bankruptcy
creditors in full, though he had no
legal responsibility to do so .
T
wain was born_
9_ after a visit by
Halley
’
s Comet, and he
predicted that he would go out
with
it,
too.
He
died
the
day
after
the
comet
returned.
He
_10_
himself
as
the
“g
reatest
American
humorist
of
his
age”,
and
William
Faulkner
called
T
wain
“
the
father
of
American
literatur
e”.
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.
The
famous
American
inventor
Thomas
Alva
Edison
once
claimed
that
genius
was
one
percent inspiration and
ninety-nine percent
perspiration(
汗水
).
Now
, it seems, there is scientific
evidence
to
1_
his
claim.
The
idea
that
geniuses
such
as
Shakespeare,
Mozart,
and
Picasso
possessed certain inborn talents is a
false belief, according to a study by a British
psychologist and
his colleagues
After examining outstanding performance
in the arts and sports, these researchers
concluded
that 2
is
determined
by
opportunity
,
encouragement,
training,
motivation,
self-confidence,
and
—
most
important of all
—
3
.
Even people who were not
thought to be 4 with any
special talent could, after having
received training, reach levels
5
considered attainable
(
可获
得的
) only by gifted
individuals.
?
T
alent is a
false belief, and it is time that people got rid
of it
,”
they
said.
This theory
—
a
dramatic
__6
with
traditional beliefs
—
has
been 7
by academics
worldwide. In fact, studies of
accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top
tennis players and
swimmers, have
reported
few early
signs of 8
in
these
people
before
any
parental
encouragement.
No
case
has
been
found
of
anyone
reaching
the
highest
levels
of
achievement
without 9
himself or herself to thousands of hours of
serious training. Even those who are
believed to be exceptionally talented
—
whether in music,
mathematics, chess, or sports
—
have
needed
lengthy periods of instruction and practice to
achieve their highest level of success.
?T
he
persistent
false
belief
that
some
people
reach
high
levels
of
performance
without
spending
numerous hours
practising 10 much to the fact that their
practice is usually outside the casual
observer
?s
view
,?
stated one
scientist.
The
importance
of
practice
has
been
noticed
in
athletics.
For
instance,
differences
in
the
composition of certain muscles were
once thought to be
1
1
predictors of athletic performance.
However,
the
differences
in
the
proportion
of
certain
muscle
fibers(
组织
)
that
are 12
for
success in long-distance
running are largely the result of extended
practice in running.
“What
makes
a
genius
then?
”
one
may
ask. 13 ,
there
is
no
clear
answer
.
What
is
known,
however,
is
that
?
nurtur
e?
< br>
is
at
least
as
important
as
?na
tur
e.?
14 ,
a
supportive
environment
will
do
far
more
for
a
child
’
s
prospects
of
success
than
any
inborn
gifts.

Directions: After
reading the passage below
, fill in the
blanks with the proper forms of the given
worlds to make the passage coherent and
grammatically correct.
Having nothing
to write about is, perhaps, the greatest fear of a
student about to begin an
essay for an
IEL
TS or TOEFL test. However, critical
thinking isn
’
t such a
difficult skill to master.
In fact,
many of you will have already used this valuable
skill in your life.
Suppose one of your
friends recommends a movie by saying
,
“
It
’
s
a really wonderful movie
and definitely worth (1)
(watch).
”
,Instead
of simply taking the recommendation,
you
may ask the
question
“
Why is it
wonderful?
”
By doing this you
are thinking critically
. A more
professional term to define this
process(2)
_(call) identifying
ambiguity
, which is regarded
as the key stage in thinking
critically
.
Let
’
s look at
following examples from IEL
TS Writing
T
ask.
Detailed description
of crimes on newspaper and TV have consequence for
society
, so this
kind of
information should be restricted in the media.
T
o what extend do you agree or disagree
with this statement.
T
o think
critically
, the fist thing (3)
(consider) isn
’
t whether you
agree or not. Y
ou
should
instead try to clarify the words
“
detailed description of
crimes
”
by asking
yourself
(4)
these details
might be. Then you should come up with a list like
this :
igating the target victim before
the crime
es to avoid(5)
(track)by the police
crime
scenes.....
After that ,it
won
’
t be hard for us to
groups these details, leading eventually to two
paragraphs:
some disclosure
of information may allow people to protect
themselves from crime.
However,it is
not appropriate for many other details (6)
(release)to the general
public.
Practice identifying
ambiguity when you write the
essay
.Y
our work will
definitely leave a
good impression on
your teachers.

Mike
frowned
(

at
his
calendar
and
then
picked
up
his
guitar.
His
band
had
been
together for
five months. Everyone said they were fantastic but
they still had not been blessed with
a

The three guys had become
acquainted in band class, and organizing a group
had been Mike's
idea.
Mike
played
the

acted

John

The three got together just for fun and named
their group Playday
