3. 答案
A

解析
考查语境选词。由下文中的You just need devotion, confidence and courage ... wants success more than any other person可知，这些都是成功(succeed)的要素。
6. 答案
A
解析
考查语境选词。not ... but ...表示“不是……而是……”。这里讲的是成功不一定需要天资聪慧的(gifted)人，而是需要那种有强烈的欲望想要成功的人。

8. 答案

9. 答案
D

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Pakistani youth activist Malala Yousafzai, 17, was awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 10. She is the youngest Nobel winner in history. Malala shared the prize with Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year-old man from India who had helped lead a movement to end child slavery around the world. Both winners were recognized “for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education”.
Malala Yousafzai has never been ordinary. When she was just 11 years old, she started keeping a blog about the Taliban’s takeover of her hometown of Mingora, in northwestern Pakistan. Taliban members follow an extreme version of Islam, and believe young girls like Malala should not go to school. Classrooms throughout the Swat District of Pakistan, where Malala was living, were closed for several months. Malala spoke publicly about her desire to go back to school. “All I want is education,” she told one television broadcaster.
When the Pakistani government regained control, Malala was able to return to class. She continued to blog and speak up for girls’ right to education. But on October 9, 2017, the Taliban tried to silence her. A gunman boarded her school bus and shot her on the left side of her forehead. Malala survived, and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. During this time, she became a symbol of the struggle for girls’ rights all over the world.
Now, Malala has also become an international symbol of peace. Each year, the Nobel Prize honors excellent people in medicine, literature, chemistry, promoting peace, and other fields. It is one of the highest honors in the world. Malala and Satyarthi will split the award of $1.1 million.
Malala’s mission for peace is unstoppable. Nine months after she was shot, she gave a famous speech at the United Nations. “They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed,” she said. “And then, out of that silence came thousands of voices ... Weakness, fear and hoplessness died. Strength, power, and courage was born.”
1. Why was Kailash Satyarthi awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?
A. He struggled to provide all children with education.
B. He was devoted to the education for girls in India.
C. He was trying to help Indians to gain more freedom.
D. He called for a better living environment for children.
2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Malala is an ordinary girl.
B. Malala used to be ordinary.
C. Malala is a very special figure.
D. Malala doesn’t want to be ordinary.
3. What did Malala express in her blog?
A. Her eagerness to receive education.
B. Her anger at the rule of the Taliban.
C. Her miserable life in the countryside.
D. The poor living conditions in Pakistan.
4. Why did a gunman shoot Malala on the school bus?
A. To keep her from going to school.
B. To show off their power.
C. To stop her blogging and speaking up for girls’ right to education.
D. To warn other girls not to speak.
5. What would be the best title of the text?
A. The 2017 Nobel Peace Prize
B. A Brave Girl from Pakistan
C. Malala Wins Nobel Peace Prize
D. Malala Yousafzai, a Young Activist

参考范文
Dear Manager,
I’m an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very good, but I didn’t enjoy it because there were some problems in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so many advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoying. Second, the sound of the film was so loud that I could hardly bear it. To make matters worse, the EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terrible should happen, it would be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I’m writing the letter in the hope that you can consider these problems and make more improvements.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
