14.A year ago,my son Michael,who had just graduated from high school,had to choose between two summer jobs.He could work either at my basketball camp(61)orat one of the horse farms in the Lexington,Kentucky,area.It was his choice.He(62)chose (choose) the horse farm,because he was tired of working my camps,and he thought he could make more money at the horse farm.But(63)afteronly a few days he realized he hated it.Farm work is hard,and he was spending most of his time(64)walking (walk)horses on a treadmill and shoveling manure.One day a couple of weeks into the summer he came to me and said he'd made a mistake and(65)would rather work at my basketball camp.
   I understood,but I told him that he'd made a commitment and now he was going to have to follow through with it,no matter(66)howunpleasant.Quitting was not an option.
   Sometimes,of course,we fail to accomplish our goals.But we have to remember that failure is a part of life and failure is only fertilizer for future success.I've often heard people say that failure teaches us(67)nothing.I don't believe it.There are so many lessons we can learn(68)from failure.Most of all,we learn what (69)notto do.It's like the child who touches the hot stove,and then keeps doing it.The first time is part of the learning process.The second time it's stupid.
     The only time failure is truly bad is if you use it(70)as an excuse to quit.

分析 本文从我的儿子Michael在找暑假工作时,得知,失败不是一件坏事,只要你能从中获得经验.

解答 61.or 考查介词.此处是一个固定短语,either…or…表示或者…或者…
62.chose 考查动词.根据前句的It was his choice.,这是他的选择,所以此处填choice的动词形式,即chose.
63.after 考查介词.根据句意可知,after在…之后,在很多天后,他意识到他讨厌这份工作.
64.walking 考查分词.此处spend+时间+doing sth 花时间做做某事.
65.would 考查情态动词.would rather do意思是宁愿做某事,句意为他宁愿在篮球俱乐部工作.
66.how 考查连接词.根据后面的unpleasant可知,前面需how,表示无论多不高兴.
67.nothing 考查代词.根据后面的句子I don't believe it我不相信他.可见,很多人常说他们从失败中什么都学不到.
68.from考查介词.考查固定短语,learn from,意思是从…里学到.
69.not 考查否定词.根据前句说我们从失败中学到很多经验,但是大多数人学到都不做什么.
70.as 考查介词.句意为如果你把失败当做是放弃的借口,那失败真的是不好的.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析.要解决好语法填空,离不开坚实的语法知识,有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断,从而答对题目.

19.Mosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to target humans far away and fly straight to their unprotected skin.Regrettably,mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy(发痒的)wound.Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases,including Dengue,yellow fever and malaria.
Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year.New research now   shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.
Mosquitoes need blood to survive.They are attracted to human skin and breath.They smell the carbon dioxide gas,which all mammals breathe out.This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.
But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch.Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology.His research shows how these small insects,with even smaller brains,use three senses to find a blood meal.
Michael Dickinson's team used plumes-a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel.They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes.The insects followed the plume.
Then,the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel.Mr.Dickinson said,at first,the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all."What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours.These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel.But the moment they get a hit of CO2,they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点)."
This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito's sense of smell is more important in the search for food.Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal,they also follow visual signals.
12.What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their targets?A
A.Sense of smell              
B.Sense of touch
C.Sense of sight

13.The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment isC.

C.to take no notice of them       
D.to attach themselves to them

A.Don't let them see us.
B.Use dark objects to stop them.
C.Make them fly back and forth for hours.
D.Attract them to objects full of carbon dioxide gas.
15.What can be the best title for the text?C
A.How Do Mosquitoes Survive?
B.Why Do Mosquitoes Need Blood?
C.How Do Mosquitoes Choose to Bite You?
D.Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?
6.Well,parents,surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides,and not just to school.It's awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride.But with Twitter,you just look for other people heading the same way.
    It may sound risky,so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides,and don't branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me,but to some young people,especially those taking longer trips,stranger danger is less of a concern.
"I think the digital connection of young people is really key,because younger generations grew up sharing things on line,sharing files,photos,music,etc,so they've been very used to sharing,"said Juliet Schor,a sociology professor at Boston College.
    The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退),allowing people to access more goods,services using technology and even to share costs.And that technology,for me,is what the car was for my mom,a gateway to more freedom,like what my friend Earl says,"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more because there's technology out there connecting you to a car."
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan,30 years ago,eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license compared to six in ten today.So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
"Driving,for young people,does mean they have to disconnect from their technology,and that's a negative.So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected,that's going to be a plus."Schor continued.
To me,another plus is that ride sharing represents something,something much bigger than trying to save money.I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other.My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar.For the system to work,some of us still need our own cars.But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle,you can find me on Twitter.
21.The American teens like me,prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift becauseC.
A.it is most fashionable and cool              
B.they are bored with driving cars 
C.they are fond of being connected             
D.it is much cheaper than a car
22.We can learn from the text thatB.
A.Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B.ride sharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C.driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D.having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author's mother
23.Professor Juliet would agree thatD.
A.young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B.sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C.young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter 
D.being connected via technology is important for young people
24.The best title for the passage is probablyC.
A.Twitter,an Awesome Website              
B.Cars or iPhone
C.Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides         
D.Cool Teens on the Go.
