Question

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know you have all worked hard to get 1. for this test.” He said. “And because I know you can do it well, I would like to offer a B to anyone who will choose not to take the test.” Many students jumped 2. to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the students left in the classroom and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last 3. .”Two more students decided to go out.

Only seven students stayed behind in the classroom. The teacher then 4. out the papers. There were three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just got an A in this class. Keep 5. in yourself.

I never had a teacher 6. that, but I think it is a test that any teacher can and should give. Students who don’t believe in what they have learned are B students at most.

The same is true in our real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both success and failure. They have learned life’s lesson, not only from school education 7. also from things happening in their lives. So they have become better people.

Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However, there is 8. you can’t do if you believe in yourself and keep going. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to the summit of Mount Everest(珠峰) said, “It’s not the summit of Mount Everest we got over but ourselves.”

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文中作者通过一次特殊的考试，告诉我们相信自己的重要性。如果我们不相信自己，我们就什么也不能做了。

1.you have all worked hard 描述，可知此处指的是，为考试做好了准备。短语get ready for为……做准备，故填形容词ready，准备好的。

2. ，向上/高兴地。

3.

4.后老师发下了试卷。结合语境可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时态。故填过去式动词handed/gave ，分发/给。

5. doing sth继续做某事，故填动名词believing，相信。

6.那样的老师。故填介词like，像……一样的。

7.not only from school education 可知学生们不但从学校教育中得到生活中的教训，而且从他们的生活中也能得到一些教训。固定搭配not only…but also，故填转折连词but，但是。

8.
