【解析】本题以短文的形式,要求学生进行语法填空。文章介绍了作者11岁时,害怕在校园音乐会上表现糟糕,被同学嘲笑,父亲鼓励他克服恐惧,勇敢面对的故事,从而引出了作者对失败的看法。失败并不恐怖,只要我们勇敢地面对它。

1考查副词,根据语境可知,作者担心在校园音乐会上表现糟糕。因为perform是一个动词,所以需要用副词修饰,故填badly.

2考查短语搭配,根据语境可知,作者害怕表现糟糕,同学嘲笑他。“laugh at”,嘲笑,故填at.

3考查短语搭配,根据内容可知,作者的父亲告诉他,这是一个学会勇敢的机会。“a opportunity of”,一个...的机会,故填a.

5考查宾语从句。句意为,它能教会你需要做的事,因为“do”缺少宾语,故关系代词为what,故填what.

6考查形容词,根据句意,你可以通过做有挑战性的事情来获得技能。此处修饰的“thing,”前面的“challenge”需要用其形容词形式,故填challenging.

7考查时态,因为前面的从句用的是一般过去时,所以主句部分也需要用一般过去时,故填helped.

【题目】When I walked into the house after school, I found my dad at home.

"What are you doing home already?" I asked casually.

"Andrew, I was laid off today," he answered quietly.

I was sure he was joking. "No, you weren't. Why are you really home?"

Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives. He was home all day, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn't much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.

After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.

One evening I asked if he needed help. "Only if it doesn't interfere(打扰,妨碍) with school," he said, which sounded like a yes.

I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plans, ask for help, and take risks.

A. was angry with his boss

【题目】阅读理解。

I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right? Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.

For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.

Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.

However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.

The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.

【1】That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.

A.was bored and wanted to kill the time

B.wanted to make sure her daughter was alright

C.wanted to help her daughter through the difficulty

D.was sure something was wrong with her daughter

【2】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?

A.They were often worried about their children.

B.They usually let their children do whatever they liked.

C.They were usually too busy to care about their children.

D.They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.

【3】What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?

A.It is helpless.B.It is necessary.

C.It is nonsense.D.It should be prevented.

【4】The passage is written to show that ________.

A.children don't really have freedom at college

B.social media make our life much easier than before

C.today's parents contact their children more frequently

D.parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social media
