　　[2017·云南省高中毕业班复习统一检测]

　　Smile and keep up the spirit; everything is temporary.Problems are the steps we need to acquire better things.Problems are new opportunities to learn what we need to know to avoid making mistakes, to start over，to do the best we can，with a new attitude，the right attitude.

　　Everything is for good.At the end of the tunnel there is always light. The important thing is that regardless of any barrier we face, we don't stop moving forward while we are in the darkness of that tunnel. To stay in such darkness, to sigh，or to wait for somebody to feel pity or sorry for us doesn't solve anything.

　　It is important to understand that walking in that unavoidable dark tunnel is a blessing in disguise since it becomes part of our experience, it makes us grow and it is one of the two ways that forces us to form our character. Benjamin Franklin said, “We either buy wisdom, paying for our mistakes, or take it borrowed, learning from other people's mistakes.”

　　To stay in the misery or blame others does you no good. You are bigger than any challenge; you have everything you need to make it through and succeed. Don't stop！Continue moving forward! Don't stay in that mental dark zone. In this zone there is no growth,

　　only insecurity(不安)．

　　Regardless of all fears, it is necessary to keep moving forward. There are a lot of blessings waiting for you! The riches of life are for those who have the courage and perseverance(坚持不懈) to take action. Life may not be fair; it is for sure that all of us will pay for our mistakes. That is unavoidable, but what makes us grow is not how many times life beats us, but how many times we get up and try.

　　Who hasn't gone through bad times？The important thing is to see, understand, and accept life as it is. Everybody makes mistakes! Once we make a decision and take action, there is no way to go back. Life cannot be, nor will it be otherwise.

　　Being irresponsible, blaming, or justifying(为……辩护) our actions and mistakes keeps us from growing.

　　1．In Paragraph 2 the author advises us to ________.

　　A．ignore the difficult situation

　　B．wait for help when in trouble

　　C．keep moving in times of trouble

　　D．be careful of any barrier we face

　　2．What Benjamin Franklin said proves that________.

　　A．some people don't make mistakes

　　B．making mistakes is unavoidable

　　C．we have to pay for our mistakes

　　D．mistakes can be beneficial to us

　　3．Which of the following statements would the author agree to according to the passage?

　　A. Accepting life as it is frees us from growing.

　　B. Courage and perseverance are vital to success.

　　C. We should think twice before making a decision.

　　D. We should bear in mind that life is equal to everyone.

　　4．The author writes the passage mainly to ________.

　　A. encourage readers to pursue their dreams

　　B. advise readers to get out of the comfort zone

　　C. call on readers to feel confident about their future

　　D. convince readers to look on problems as opportunities

　　[文章大意]　在人生路上，每个人都会遇到困难和挑战。如果我们能够培养良好的心态，把困难看作前进的垫脚石，勇往直前，最终我们就能够克服困难，走向成功。

　　1．C。考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句可知，作者建议我们遇到困难时，不要止步不前。

　　2．D。 考查推理判断。在第三段中，作者引用了富兰克林的话，是为了证明前面作者的观点：错误使我们成长，错误有助于塑造我们的性格。

　　3．B。考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段第三句可知，作者认为，生活中的财富属于那些有勇气、有毅力的人。可见作者认为勇气和毅力是成功的要素。

　　4．D。考查写作意图。通览全文，作者旨在劝说读者要把生活中的困难看作前进的台阶，努力拼搏，克服困难，开创未来。

　　[2017·石家庄市高三模拟]

　　Royal baby Prince George may have been big news when he was born last week，but he is put in the shade by this infant who weighed almost a stone at birth.

　　When he was born last Monday, he was the largest royal baby in over 100 years，weighing 8 lb 6 oz，and was described as“a big boy and quite heavy” by his parents.

　　But on Friday a baby girl named Jasleen became Germany's heaviest ever newborn at 13 lb 7 oz when she came into

　　the

　　world

　　without

　　a

　　caesarean(剖腹产手术)．

　　Mother and baby are currently being cared for at the

　　neonatal ward of the University Hospital in Leipzig, reports

　　Der Spiegel.

　　Jasleen's mother only arrived at the hospital on the day of

　　the birth, and doctors discovered that she had suffered from an

　　undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes (孕期糖尿病),

　　a

　　condition that can cause excessive birth weight in the newborn

　　child.

　　Jasleen,

　　who is 22.6 inches long, easily steals the crown

　　from Germany's previous heaviest baby Jihad Yagi, who weighed 13 lb when he was born in November 2011.

　　In March British mum Jade Packer, gave birth naturally

　　to a 15 lb 7 oz baby boy named George, the second largest

　　baby ever to be born in the UK.

　　He was more than double the average for a newborn, at

　　Gloucester Royal Infirmary.

　　After he arrived two weeks late his mum said,

　　“He was a

　　surprise－a big surprise, as it turned out.”

　　“To be honest, I don't remember it so much. It came

　　and went. I remember a lot of pressure, but you just get on

　　with it, don't you？”

　　He is thought to be the second largest baby born naturally

　　in Britain, after 15 lb 8 oz Guy Carr of Barrow­in­Furness，Cumbria, who arrived in 1992.

　　In

　　February last year,

　　a baby boy was born in China's central Henan province, weighing a whopping 15.5 lb.

　　Chun Chun came into the world via caesarean section，with his proud father claiming to feel very happy at the birth of such a big, fat son.

　　The heaviest birth listed by Guinness World Records belongs to a baby boy born in 1879 in Ohio, who weighed 23 lb 12 oz at birth and whose mother was said to be a giantess. Unfortunately, the baby died 11 hours after birth.

　　5. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph

　　probably mean?

　　A. To be popular.

　　B. To be outshone.

　　C. To be left unhealthy.

　　D. To be impressive.

　　6. Who is the second largest baby ever born in the UK?

　　A. Prince George.

　　B. A baby boy named George.

　　C. Jasleen.

　　D. Guy Carr.

　　7. Which of the following is true about Jade Packer?

　　A. Her baby didn't come as expected.

　　B. She suffered from gestational diabetes.

　　C. She had a lot of pressure making a living.

　　D. Her baby doubles the average weight for the newborn in UK.

　　8. It is learned from the text that

　　________.

　　A. Jihad Yagi still has the crown of Germany's heaviest

　　baby

　　B. Jasleen becomes the second heaviest ever newborn in

　　Germany

　　C. a baby boy named Chun Chun in China comes second in

　　Guinness

　　D. the heaviest newborn recorded in Guinness comes from America

　　[文章大意]　本文记录了在英国、德国、中国出生时最重的孩子以及关于他们的一些报道。

　　5．B。词义猜测题。根据画线部分所在句及第二、三段中对婴儿的比较可知，女婴Jasleen比皇家宝宝George王子重得多，因此put in the shade意为“黯然失色”，B项正确。

　　6．B。细节理解题。由倒数第四段中的“He is thought to be the second largest baby born naturally in Britain，after 15 lb 8 oz Guy Carr”可知，George是英国历史上在出生时第二重的孩子，所以选B。

　　7．A。细节理解题。由第九段中的“After he arrived two weeks late”可知，Jade Packer的孩子晚于预产期出生，故选A项。

　　8．D。细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The heaviest birth listed by Guinness World Records belongs to a baby boy born in 1879 in Ohio”可知，吉尼斯世界纪录上记载的出生时最重的婴儿来自美国，所以选D。
