It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety.It's hard to change the mindset (心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids.Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, "We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious."Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self-image.So what can parents do to help their children embrace (拥抱) failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. "This allows children to build confidence in themselves, "she explains." Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset —'I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.'—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities." As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters.24．What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure?A．The great courage to face it.          B．The efforts made to handle it.C．Unexpected benefits it brings.         D．Unpleasant side effects it brings.25．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A．Bring up the main topic.             B．List the challenges in our life.C．Add some background information.     D．Stress the importance of the mindset26．What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph?A．The causes of children's anxiety.B．Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents.C．The consequences of overprotecting children.D．Christy Pennison's experience in educating children.27．Which of the following advice can help parents encourage kids to face failure?① Praise kids' every achievement.      ② Make kids embrace a bright mindset.③ Focus on the process of kids' effort    ④ Expand kids' knowledge about the world.⑤ Encourage kids to make new attempts.A．①②④ B．②③④ C．②③⑤ D．①③⑤C  The different parts of a health care system have different focuses. A hospital's stroke （中风） unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field. Thus, like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan regularly, for early signs of illness, so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.An unusual research project called AlzEye, run by Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College, London (UCL) , may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields' database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina (视网膜).The project will go a step further：With the information about other aspects of patients' health collected from other hospitals around England, doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.The Moorfields data set has lots of linked cases to work with--far more than any similar project. For instance, the UK Biobank, one of the world's leading collections of medical data about individual people, contains 631 cases of a "major cardiac adverse event". The Moorfields data contain about 12, 000 such. The Biobank has data on about 1, 500 stroke patients. Moorfields has 11, 900. For the disease on which the Moorfields project will focus to start with dementia, the data set holds 15, 100 cases. The only comparable study has 86.Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the emergence of disease elsewhere in the body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential impact would be huge.28．Why does the author mention “the story of blind men feeling an elephant” in Paragraph 1?A．To claim the ineffectiveness of our health care system.B．To tell the similarity in various health care units.C．To explain the limitation of modern health care.D．To show the complexity of patients' pictures.29．What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The challenge of making advanced medical instruments.B．The high risk of getting a heart disease or a strokeC．The inconvenience of modern health care service.D．The incomplete and expensive health monitoring.30．How does AlzEye work?A．By thoroughly examining one's body organs.B．By identifying one's state of health through eye scansC．By helping doctors discover one's diseases of the eyeD．By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals.31．What can be inferred about the Moorfields's project from Paragraph 5?A．It takes advantage of abundantly available medical data.B．It makes the collection of medical data more convenient.C．It improves the Moorfields' competitiveness in the medical field.D．It strengthens data sharing between the Moorfields and the Biobank.D  Hardware in general, and smart phones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South's landfill sites （垃圾填埋场）.Electronic waste（ e-waste ） currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smart phone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghana's capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10, 000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smart phones.But Agbogbloshie should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting e-waste labeled as "secondhand goods" to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smart phones contain chemicals like mercury （水银），lead and even arsenic（砷）. Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that's about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority（EFSA） . Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghana's top exports are cocoa and nuts.Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers' waste. For example, Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable （可持续的）recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.32．What can we infer from Paragraph 2？A．Electronic products need improving urgently.B．Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.C．Electronic waste requires more landfill sites across Ghana.D．Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie.33．What does the underlined word "circumvents" in Paragraph 3 mean？A．Tightens.  B．Abolishes.    C．Gets around. D．Brings in.34．What should be the biggest concern according to the text？A．The violation of EFSA's standards.  B．The lack of diversity in Ghana's exports.C．The damage to chicken's immune system. D．The threat of polluted food around the world.35．What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem？A．Manufacturers' developing a sustainable hardware economy.B．Governments' adjusting their green policies about e-waste.C．Reducing customers 'demands for electronic products.D．Letting governments take on the main responsibility.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）When planning for a new job, many people will go through a job interview. 36．   Fear of the unknown, fear of public rejection and fear of personal criticism all come together in one meeting. So how should you prepare for a job interview ？ It's often a combination of careful research, psychology and an ability to think on your feet.One way is to do a great deal of research, like finding the requirements of the job, the company's product lines, the industry's standard salary for the position, the interviewer, etc. When doing research, don't forget to learn about whether you have unique qualifications for the position. 37．Thus, prepare your unique aspects which will make you stand out among interviewees ahead of time.38． Do you express your ideas clearly? Do you actively listen to others ? How you perform in the interview will leave a deep impression on the interviewers.Some job seekers prepare for a job interview by conducting their own mock （模拟的） interviews. A trusted friend or even a professional job coach can act as an interviewer, asking many of the same questions a real interviewer might ask. In view of your performance, these people may be able to point out your trouble spots.39．There're also numerous resources job seekers can use to prepare for a job interview. 40． Many cities also have programs helping first-time workers find jobs. They may offer classes on how to prepare for a job interview or provide job coaches who can conduct mock interviews.A．You should consider how to be qualified.B．Self-help books may be available at public libraries.C．Another way is to work on your outward appearance.D．It can be one of the most stressful events in a person's life.E. Then, you can improve yourself by overcoming your weaknesses.F. Observing how you communicate with others is equally important.G. An interviewer's job is to recommend the best qualified applicants.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A trip to a bank's ATM machine is usually a common affair.

All claimed that they were the best. They most important. The most useful. The favorite.Green said, “Clearly I am the most important .I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die.”Blue interrupted: “You only think about the earth but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life. The sky gives space and peace. Without my peace, you would all be nothing.”Yellow chuckled, “You are all so serious. I bring laughter and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow .Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun.”Orange started next. “I am the color of health and strength .I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. When I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you.”Then Red shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I bring fire into the blood. I am the color of passion and of love. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon.”Purple rose up to his full height, “I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey.”Finally, Indigo spoke, “Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water.”And so the colors went on boasting，each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Suddenly there was a flash of bright lightening, thunder rolling and booming.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
