Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)
A. Their classmates. B. Some schools.
C. Most parents. D. Their children.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Project work makes teenagers nervous.
B. Good qualities will lead to a happy life.
C. Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time.
D. Taking responsibility will make work much easier.
10. What is important for making students strong minded
A. Honesty. B. Self-motivation.
C. Communication. D. Friends’ trust.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Value of Moral Education
B. The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability
C. The Meaning of Success to Teenagers
D. The Way to Communicate with Others
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文围绕“成功”这一个词展开描述，介绍了成功对于孩子们的意义，以及成功的关键。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.”（一些学校过去同意大多数家长根据成绩来衡量孩子的成功，但现在他们特别关注道德教育和品格建设，以确保青少年在建立人际关系方面取得成功。）可知，一些学校之前根据成绩成绩来衡量学生的成功，但现在他们特别关注道德教育和品格建设，推断出“they”指代的是上文提到的一些学校，B项“一些学校”符合句意。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.”（应该避免比计划晚做很多事情，因为这将导致堆积如山的工作，最终使他们紧张。另一个好的品质是责任感，这使他们记住任务必须完成。）可知，从第三段建议青少年及时完成任务。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.”（因为自我激励的青少年会有坚强的意志和动力去完成一项任务，并最终获得成就感。）可知，对培养学生坚强的意志自我激励是重要的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates.”（成功通常被认为是失败的反面。对青少年来说，幸福是实现目标或完成他们真正需要的东西，比如取得好成绩和与同学相处融洽的能力。）、第二段“Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success.”（学校给学生机会去发现他们隐藏的能力，这样他们就能享受某种形式的成功。）、第三段“Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work.”（青少年经常被告知成功是不容易实现的，成功在于努力工作。）及第四段“Sticking to moral values is the key to success too.”（坚持道德价值观也是成功的关键。）可知，本文围绕“成功”这一个词展开描述，介绍了成功对于孩子们的意义，以及成功的关键，所以C选项“成功对青少年的意义”，符合本文标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在不同的场合应该如何给小费。
【12题详解】
根据下文“The general rule is to tip according to the service.(一般规则是根据服务情况给小费。)”可知，空格处要说的是给小费的规则或情况可能不同，C项“Tipping practices can change depending upon the situation.(小费可能会根据情况而改变。)”说明了给小费可能有不同的情况，与后文的“一般规则”相对应，符合题意，与下文承接自然。故选C。
【13题详解】
根据上文“You may be surprised to know that waiters at the restaurants usually get low pay.(你可能会惊讶地发现，餐馆服务员的工资通常很低。)”推知，下文陈述服务员工资很低的原因。D项“That is because they are expected to get tips from customers.(这是因为他们需要从顾客那里得到小费。)”解释了服务员工资低的原因，且与下文“Therefore, please make sure to tip properly when you visit a restaurant.(因此，当你去餐馆吃饭时，请一定要给适当的小费。)”构成明显的因果关系。故选D。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
根据上文“When you reach the airport, there are porters who can help with the bags.(当你到达机场时，有搬运工可以帮你搬行李。)”推知，下文应陈述给搬运工的小费该怎么计算。B项“You should tip them $1 or $2 per bag.(每个包你应该给他们1美元或2美元的小费。)”说明了应该给搬运工多少小费，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选B。
【16题详解】
根据上文“There is no tipping required at the gas station.(在加油站不需要付小费。)”可知，下文要承接上文，陈述加油站为什么不需要小费。A项“Most gas stations are self-service.(大多数加油站都是自助。)”解释了为什么加油站不需要小费，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选A。

I walked into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I picked up a menu, trying to decide what to eat.“Excuse me. Is your name Roger ” asked someone, who touched me on the shoulder. I looked up and turned to the side to see a rather nice looking woman standing before me. “Yes.” I replied, looking rather confused as I had never seen the woman before.
“My name is Barbara and my husband is Tony. He is from George High School.” she said, pointing to a distant table near the door. I looked in the direction but I did not recognize the man who was sitting alone at the table, with a wheelchair (轮椅) around the corner.
“I'm really sorry. The name doesn't ring a bell.”I said.
She turned and walked back to her table. She and her husband immediately began talking and once in a while looked directly at me.
I sat there, thinking hard and tried to remember who this Tony guy was. “I must know him, ”I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up my coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, it came to me like a flash lightning.
“Tony. THE BULLY (校园霸凌者). The bully of my seventh grade geography class.” I said to myself. I turned around and faced in his direction.
How many times that guy had made fun of my big ears in front of girls How many times he called me “four-eyed toad” How many times he pushed me up against the lockers just to make himself look like a big man to all the other students
He raised his hand and waved at me. I smiled, returned the wave and turned back and began to eat my breakfast.
“Goodness. He's so thin now. Not the big guy that I remembered,” I thought to myself.
All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Could you help me get into the wheelchair ” asked Tony.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened. Tony had accidentally hit several plates and knocked them off the table. Tony and his wife looked very embarrassed. They apologized over and over again towards the waitress. They looked so helpless that I got up and went over. I helped his wife pick up the broken dishes from the ground. To my great surprise, I found from the waist down, Tony had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless.
“Could you help me get into the wheelchair ” asked Tony. “No problem,” I said. I reached around his waist and carefully raised him up into the wheelchair. “You remember. Don’t you ” he said, looking directly into my eyes. “Yes, I do,” I smiled. “I guess you’re thinking “What goes around comes around”, he said, softly. “No, never, Tony,” I said. I found tears in his eyes. I handed my name card to him. “Give me a call sometimes. We’ll do lunch,” I told him. We both laughed.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者到一家餐厅吃饭，刚拿起菜单点菜，这时有一个女人拍着他的肩膀，问作者是不是Roger，作者回答是。接着这个女人介绍自己，说她的丈夫是Tony，来自George高中，然后指向她的丈夫。但是作者没有认出她的丈夫是谁。于是和这个女人说，自己不认识她的丈夫，女人回到自己的座位。作者开始回想这个男的到底是谁，于是作者想起来了，他就是当年欺凌作者的同学。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然我听到碟子打碎的声音，于是我转过身去看发生了什么事。”可知，第一段可描写Tony不小心打翻了盘子。
②由第二段首句内容“‘你能帮我坐上轮椅吗？’Tony问。”可知，第二段可描写Tony请求作者帮助他坐上轮椅，作者告诉Tony，自己认出他来了。
2.续写线索：饭店吃饭——一个女人过来打招呼，问作者是否记得自己丈夫——作者告诉女人没有想起她的丈夫是谁——女人回到自己的座位——作者想起来女人的丈夫是以前上学时欺凌自己的同学

Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.
8. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)
A. Their classmates. B. Some schools.
C. Most parents. D. Their children.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A. Project work makes teenagers nervous.
B. Good qualities will lead to a happy life.
C. Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time.
D. Taking responsibility will make work much easier.
10. What is important for making students strong minded
A. Honesty. B. Self-motivation.
C. Communication. D. Friends’ trust.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Value of Moral Education
B. The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability
C. The Meaning of Success to Teenagers
D. The Way to Communicate with Others

I walked into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I picked up a menu, trying to decide what to eat.“Excuse me. Is your name Roger ” asked someone, who touched me on the shoulder. I looked up and turned to the side to see a rather nice looking woman standing before me. “Yes.” I replied, looking rather confused as I had never seen the woman before.
“My name is Barbara and my husband is Tony. He is from George High School.” she said, pointing to a distant table near the door. I looked in the direction but I did not recognize the man who was sitting alone at the table, with a wheelchair (轮椅) around the corner.
“I'm really sorry. The name doesn't ring a bell.”I said.
She turned and walked back to her table. She and her husband immediately began talking and once in a while looked directly at me.
I sat there, thinking hard and tried to remember who this Tony guy was. “I must know him, ”I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up my coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, it came to me like a flash lightning.
“Tony. THE BULLY (校园霸凌者). The bully of my seventh grade geography class.” I said to myself. I turned around and faced in his direction.
How many times that guy had made fun of my big ears in front of girls How many times he called me “four-eyed toad” How many times he pushed me up against the lockers just to make himself look like a big man to all the other students
He raised his hand and waved at me. I smiled, returned the wave and turned back and began to eat my breakfast.
“Goodness. He's so thin now. Not the big guy that I remembered,” I thought to myself.
All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened.
