3．Only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life．Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success：
Understand that at times you make mistakes．（31）C Before any of us learned how to walk，we crawled （爬行）．We got up，fell down and got up again．We continued the process until we could walk quite well．
（32）A Instead，view it as a stepping stone．Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations．Refuse to consider failure a character weakness．Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success．
Remember that failure has produced many successes．（33）F Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said，"Einstein，you will never achieve anything!"Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become a composer （作曲家）．Henry Ford's first two car companies failed．
Appreciate the benefits of failure．Ralph Waldo Emerson said，"All life is an experiment．The more experiments you try，the better you make．"It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries．（34）G
Believe in yourself．Rather than gie up when things don't work out，take it as a chance to
build perseverance （毅力）．Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up．（35）D

A．Don't take failure personally．
B．Work hard and try to avoid failure．
C．Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes．
D．Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times．
E．Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work．
F．Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful．
G．In other words，your chances of getting things right on the first try are little．

2．There is a problem discussed by people about whether parents should hit their children？Or should they ever beat them？
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no"，and public support for spanking （打屁股） has been falling over the years．But surveys also show that 75percent to nearly 90percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once．
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect，and my parents often turned to physical punishment．And，no，I don't feel I was damaged by it．
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children．
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer．
Two years ago，Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive．
Murray Straus，professor at the University of New Hampshire in America，has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades．He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers．It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked，but the punishment may have been counterproductive （反作用的） to their mental development，as well．
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks （用巴掌打） on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit．
Last year，Marjorie Gunnoe，a psychologist at Calvin College，studied teens who have never been spanked．There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished．Gunnoe's research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked．
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers．But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline （纪律） without ever turning to physical punishment．

21．According to the passage，the author was most probably hit by her parents whenB．
A．they could not control teir temper
B．she showed no respect for the elder
C．they were dissatisfied with her grade
D．their discipline turned out to be not strict enough
22．According to Murray Straus，children who are physically punishedC．
A．benefit from occasional spanking
B．have slower physical development
C．may develop lower IQs than their peers
D．are less aggressive towards others when they get older
23．The author seems to agree thatB．
A．physical punishment should be the last means of any parents
B．good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
C．parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
D．children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't．

1．I joined class five at the South Eastern Railway Mixed Higher Secondary School in Kharagpur，West Bengal．As the （23）B girl in class，it took a while to make friends，but I found a kindred spirit （志趣相投的人） right away：my class teacher，Miss Rafique，who also taught English．

I stood （29）A by Miss Rafique's desk as she read out my letter to the class （30）B handing my notebook to me．Reaching my seat，I opened my notebook and was （31）C to see many red marks-all spelling and grammatical （32）B．I thought a best letter would be one with no mistakes．There were also two little（33）D in the margins （空白处）．"Delhi doesn't have a beach，"and"Very good!"
When I looked at a（34）B notebook，her letter was error-free．Later，I realized that my classmates had memorized and reproduced sample letters from High School English Grammar & Composition by Wren and Martin．In spite of the mistakes，it was my originality that Miss Rafique actually （35）A．Soon，my teacher made me realize that math and science weren't my only （36）

4．阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．
    A Dutch artist and environmentalist has brought a project that shows how tiny smog particles（雾霾颗粒）can be made into jewellry like rings to China．
   Dann Roosegaarde is attempting to raise public awareness of cleaning the air．He has made a Smog Free Tower，which began to operate in September，2015，in Rotterdam，the Netherlands，and he brought it to China in September，2016．The pollutants are collected from the 7-meter-high tower before being processed and condensed into cubes （压缩成立方体） measuring 4 mm to 5mm．The cubes，which can be used to make rings，are not for sale but have been presented as gifts to supporters at Kickstarter，a large crowdfunding site where Roosegaarde collected more than 110，000  curos for his tower project．
"I bring the project to China because Beijing is Where I got the inspiration，"he said．He said he visited the city years ago and saw the huge difference in environmental conditions on good days and smoggy days，which gave him the inspiration for the project．
"But it is more than just cleaning the air，I hope the project develops public awareness of environmental protection．"He said his tower project would travel around the world，visiting cities such as Paris，Los Angeles and Mexico City．
    Roosegaarde said his tower would suck in（吸入）polluted air like a huge vacuum cleaner，before removing the pollutant particles and returning clean air．"It has performed well in reducing air pollutants by 75 to 80 percent in a surrounding area．"Roosegaarde said．
    Liu Guozheng，secretary-general of the China Forum of Environmental journalists，said．"The Smog Free Tower is designed to be abandoned eventually，because the ultimate goal is to improve air quality to the extent that the tower will be useless．"
"The tower works as a warming and reminder for people to take part in smog control efforts．"Liu said．

71．What's the main purpose of Dann Roosegaarde's tower project？（Not more than 7 words）
To raise/Raising public awareness of cleaning the air．
72．What's the importance of Beijing，China to Dann Roosegaarde？（Not more than 13 words）
It's where he got the inspiration for his Smog Free Tower project．
73．What will the Chinese government do with the Smog Free Tower in the end？（Not more than 2 words）
Abandon it．
74．What is the meaning of the underlined part in the second last paragraph？（Not more than 5 words）
The air is clean．
75．What do you think about Dann Roosegasrde？Put it in your own words．（Not more than 20 words）
He's not only a creative artist but also a respectable man who has a strong sense of social responsibility．．

3．Researchers have developed a new kind of software using smartphones'GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects．The software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies．On the home front，the software could be used by everyone，including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it．
"The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single，readily available，relatively inexpensive package，"said Wang Qia，a doctoral student who led the development of the software．"For example，on the battlefield，a soldier needs a rangefinder，compass，GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike．With our software，the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf．When that soldier returns from war，she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children's school and catching the criminal on video．"
    Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track：
    Targets of known size-When the size of a target is known．a single image is enough to pinpoint the target's location．
    Targets of unknown size-If the exact size of a target is unknown，the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target．
    Moving targets-By taking a short video of a moving target，the smartphone software can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going．
"Currently，our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphone hardware，but the devices are improving rapidly，"Wang said．"We expect that improvements in GPS accuracy，battery life and camera resolution will allow our software to make even more accurate observations．"

66．From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software canB．
A．determine the speed of moving objects
B．locate objects in the distance exactly
C．defend soldiers against their enemies
D．help biologists protect rare animal
67．The example given by Wang Qia is meant toC．

B．describe the software briefly
C．show the benefits of the software
D．present the functions of smartphones
68．How does the software calculate the speed of a moving object？A
A．By taking a short video．
B．By locating its position．
C．By taking a single image．
D．By measuring its real-life size．
69．What's Wang Qia's attitude towards the future of the software？B
A．casual．
B．optimistic．
C．cautious．
D．flexible．

2．What are you like in the morning？Do you find it easy to get up？Or it is really hard for you？A group of people from Denmark have formed the B-Society．According to them，human beings are divided into two types：A-people and B-people．A-people have no problem getting up in the morning，and operate much better earlier in the day．However，B-people are better later in the day．"I'm useless early in the morning，"says one of the members of the B-Society．^"All I can do is drink coffee，and stare into space．People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals．But I haven't got any cows or chickens，so I can sleep late．"she adds．Since the society was set up，the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members．
    Right now，the B-Society is fighting hard for business to join its B-certification（认证）list．Companies that are"B-certified"basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want．In some companies，employees arrive at any time up to 3：30 p．m．------each to their own rhythm．"This is a small hi-tech company．"said one director from a B-certified company．"And I need brains which are working at full speed．"
    And it is not just business that is benefiting from this．Teenagers who can't get out of bed in the morning，and parents who never quite get the kids to school on time，can now benefit from B-classcs．From next year，a school in Copenhagen will offer classes which start later in the day （at ten instead of eight）．And even the government seems to like the idea．
    The B-Socicty was founded by Camilla Kring，a professor from the University of Copenhagen．On her website，she says，^uWhen B-peopIe's work rhythms are considered at the work place，their productivity and quality of life is increased，which can increase productivity for the entire organization．"
    She adds that，"B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other institutions as an alternative to the current rhythm of'early at work and early at home'．We are working for the establishment of kindergartens，primary and secondary schools as well as universities that open between 10 a．m．and 8 p．m..''．
    Would you like to work for a B-certified company？

56．According to the text，who belong to the B-Society？A
A．Late risers
B．Businessmen
C．Animal lovers
D．Sleep experts
57．In B-certified companies，employees canD．
A．do whatever they like
B．get more work opportunities
C．work on any days they choose
D．go to work at any time of a day
58．In Camilla Kring's opinion，B-peopleC．
A．are more hard working than A-people
B．have a better quality of life than A-people
C．are more productive if given more freedom
D．like the rhythm of"early at work and early at home"
59．What can we learn about the B-Society？D
A．It will establish its own schools．
B．It has got the government's support．
C．It is popular with most young people．
D．It works to create a more flexible society．
60．The author's purpose in writing this text is toC．
