In 1880, fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting lives at sea. One day he made up his mind. Baltimore was the nearest large seaport(海港). The next morning he set out on the forty-mile journey to try to find         on a sailing ship.
In Baltimore, Henson found a job as a cabin boy on a beautiful ship. For the next five years, Henson       around the world. With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew, Henson learned mathematics, history, geography, and many other      .
Unable to find work anywhere else, Henson took a job in a        shop in Washington, D.C. One day in 1887, a man came in to buy a hat. The man, Lieutenant Robert Peary, asked the owner if he knew anyone with      at sea. Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S. government. He needed experienced men to go with him.
The shop owner knew about the young man’s skills and experience on ocean journeys,    he introduced Peary to Henson.

One day Peary told Henson about his real dream: to be the first man to stand on “the top of the world” at the North Pole. He asked Henson to help him make his dream    .
Over the next five years, the two explorers(探险家) made two trips together to the Arctic(北极). However, they were not able to reach the pole either time. The cold, wind, and ice were      than either of them had ever imagined.
In 1908, Peary and Henson were ready to make their final challenge at reaching the North Pole. With four guides, they made a mad dash straight across the ice. Peary’s feet were so frostbitten(冻僵的) that he had to be pulled on a dogsled.      April 1909, Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole. Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.

Dear Mom,
I’m sorry that I can’t go back home for Mother’s Day next week. On that day, I’ll have to go to an important meeting for my boss, who helps me a lot with my work and life here. But I’ll find time to see you at home soon.
Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for Tim and me. After Dad died of a heart attack at home ten years ago in a road accident, you had to work in a supermarket in the daytime and in a restaurant at night. But you always gave us two your love and care. Though you don’t have to work now, I still remember your coming home and feeling tired many evenings.
Tim is going to finish his studies next month. He said he would move back from school and look for a job near home. I’m glad you won’t live by yourself any more. Let’s plan to take a trip in the near future. It’s been years since the three of us took a trip together.
Happy Mother’s Day. I love you, Mom.
Best wishes,
David

What do we know from the letter?

Which of the following is mentioned in the letter?

My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.
We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.
It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.
We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.
I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.
What can we learn from the first paragraph?

Which of the following could best show that the writer was really interested in Kilkenny?

What can we know from the third paragraph?

What does the underlined word “adequately” in the last paragraph mean?

Where does the article most probably come from?

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals(个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.
Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination(终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change…you will change, you will succeed.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?

Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

The best title of the passage might be_______________.

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.
What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.

A survey about some Chinese students’ hopes and dreams
Hopes of teenagers	●Some students want to begin work as soon as possible to help  their parents with better lives. ●Some students hope to      studying after finishing school. ●Many students would like to do jobs they enjoy though money is of great     . ●Most students      computer programming as their jobs.
of teenagers	●Some students have more realistic dreams such as working as volunteers at the World Cup and     around the world. ●Some students have less realistic dreams such as becoming famous sports people or singers and     across the Pacific Ocean. ●It is highly      for some students to achieve their dreams such as being able to fly.
Conclusion	●The survey shows that teenagers’ hopes are      while their dreams are different. ●You can’t realize your dream       holding on it and hard work.

根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答卷纸标号为66-75的相应位置上。
Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friend, c    up and smile all the time．If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the h    smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it s     starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the w   . But dear friend, why don’t you sit down and listen to the sound that the n   offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will g     better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failures can’t be a . I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are a   of it and give up hopes. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish w     we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude (态度) decides e   . Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
