I ask every student applying for Pitzer College the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college ” I was surprised and delighted when a student replied, “The possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. “You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. They tell me taking a more rigorous course or trying an activity I may not succeed in will ruin my chances at college admission. Even staying up late to do something that isn’t related to school, they see it as a risk to my academic work and college success.”
Kids all over the world admit they are under huge pressure to be perfect. So students are usually in shock when I tell them I never expect perfection. How could a leader of admission at one of America’s most selective colleges not want the best and the brightest The reality is that perfection doesn’t exist.
I’ve known teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce back is a fundamental life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom. During my weekend of interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed calculus（微积分）, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I will still take calculus, and even though I don’t love it, I’m glad I pushed through!” I asked him what he learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define（定义）my success. I also learned that if you want anything eagerly, you can achieve it.”
I smiled as I wrote his words down on the application-review form. Apparently, he has the coping skills to adjust to college life. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college!
24. What does the underlined word “rigorous” in the first paragraph mean
A. Absurd. B. Lively. C. Challenging. D. Special.
25. What can we learn from the student mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. Teachers can help students to admit failure.
B. Parents define their children’s success by grades.
C. Teenagers get lessons of failure through experiences.
D. Young people spend enough time letting go of shame.
26. Why did the author smile as he wrote the student’s words down on the form
A. The college teachers would love the student for his perfection.
B. He succeeded in persuading the student to enter college.
C. The student realized his dream of being a perfect person.
D. He thought the student would have a promising future.
27. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Learn to Fail B. Learn to Live
C. Try to Succeed D. Decide to Experience
C

David Willard has been checking the grounds of Chicago’s lakefront exhibition center for dead birds for 40 years. One morning this year he found something horrible; Hundreds of dead songbirds, so thick they looked like a carpet. Nearly 1,000 songbirds died during the night after crashing into the center’s windows. According to bird experts, the result was caused by a combination of migration conditions, rain, and the exhibition hall's low lights and walls with windows.
Birds don’t see clear glass and don’t understand it’s a deadly barrier. When they see plants or bushes through windows, they head for them, killing themselves in the process. Birds that migrate（迁徙）at night, like sparrows, rely on the stars to navigate（导航）. Bright lights from buildings both attract and confuse them, leading to window strikes or birds flying around the lights until they die from tiredness—a phenomenon known as deadly light attraction.
But even in the best of circumstances, spring and fall are dangerous times for migrating birds. When they migrate over major cities, the risks increase. Hundreds or thousands of dead birds may appear on city streets after a wave of migrants has passed through. In all, about 100 million to 1 billion birds die each year in North America from crashing buildings.
The good news is that people can greatly reduce the danger with some simple methods. Window strikes are easily preventable, said Anna Pidgeon, an expert at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Architects can design windows with markings in the glass that birds can easily recognize, she said. People can paint their windows as well.
32. What caused songbirds to die according to Paragraph 1
A. Bad migration conditions.
B. Human behaviors.
C. Crashing into plants.
D. A combination of external factors.
33. What is fatal light attraction
A. Birds dying due to being attracted by strong lights.
B. Birds getting attracted to bright lights and then getting lost.
C. Birds getting attracted to lights and then attacking each other.
D. Birds flying around the dim lights until they die from exhaustion.
34. What is Anna Pidgeon’s attitude towards the measures of cutting down the danger
A. Puzzled and unbiased. B. Negative and suspicious.
C. Approving and supportive. D. Compromising and critical.
35. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To promote the use of dim lights in buildings.
B. To inform readers about bird migration patterns.
C. To explain the dangers birds face during migration.
D. To discuss the work of David Willard at the exhibition center.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Use Body Language to Build Trust
Body language can help people see you as more trustworthy, resulting in stronger relationships at home, work and school. Although some gestures vary across cultures, there’re certain basic body language gestures.
Keep eye contact when someone is talking. 36 So put your phone down and listen with your eyes. Building stronger human ties makes it easier to trust people and know more about them.
Uncross your arms and legs. 37 However, that will close you off. You’re unknowingly communicating something negative because you’ve positioned your body in a way that blocks any basis for building trust. 38 Thus, you’ll look more open to hearing others’ thoughts.
39 Sitting behind a desk creates another obstacle that could make the person you’re talking to put his or her own walls up. According to Professor Carla Chamberlin-Quinlisk, sitting at a table with her students encourages them to be more vocal during class So try the smart way to get your boss to trust you.
Limit your own note taking. Sometimes notes are necessary when you’re talking to a coworker, but make sure all that doesn’t get in the way of your eye contact. If you’re constantly writing down what the other person says, that person could start feeling self-conscious. What’s more, taking notes makes the other person feel uncomfortable. 40
A. Don’t sit behind a desk.
B. Make sure your body looks open.
C. Nod and smile while someone is talking.
D. You might only be crossing your arms and legs because you’re cold.
E. It will help build trust because it shows real interest.
F. And they may question like “Why are they writing that down ”
G. Unfortunately, most people have no training on how to read body language.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch（胸针）in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive- $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack（面粉袋改做的）shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering（锤打）from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Every day after school, Antonio started his plan.

Boys and girls,
I’m Li Hua. It’s a great honor for me to deliver a speech with the theme of “What Makes a Great Scientist ”
Everyone has an idol. Mine is Qian Xuesen, who is known as the father of China’s aerospace. Personally, I think he was a pioneer who was determined to pursue his dreams. More importantly, he was patriotic and served our country with effort and devotion. All of this makes him a great scientist.
Undoubtedly, we, the successor of socialism should learn and pass on his scientific spirit as well as his perseverance in the face of frustration.
第二节（满分25分）
【参考范文】
Every day after school, Antonio started his plan. Cold and hungry, Antonio wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another. To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Every coin he won went to the soda tin, his treasured “bank”, and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by, the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached Christmas Eve.
The day finally came! Antonio stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Antonio rushed for the shop without a second’s delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Susan was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, Mom”, the son announced proudly. “You too.” the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.

Hello everyone! I’m very happy to be invited to this program today. I’d like to share with you my impression of Paris. Actually, there’s something interesting to see in every corner of Paris: the old buildings, neighborhoods, and the historical monuments. The weather’s been great too, cool and dry. Some aspects of life here are different from those in the United States. The most obvious thing is that there is much more activity in the streets than in a typical US city. People gather together in open markets, cafes, parks, and squares. Then, of course, there’s the food. Food seems to be more important here. It’s beautifully shown in windows and markets. Everything is fresher and better tasting than at home. I’ve gained five pounds since I arrived. There are a few things that bother me though. I’m still having a hard time with the language. People speak very fast and it’s hard to get them to repeat things. People, in general, are less warm here and it’s hard to make friends. I guess that can be true in any big city in a new country, but the French do seem to be less friendly than the people back home.
