Dont Rest on Your Laurels
Have you ever heard the saying “Don’t rest on your laurels”?“ Laurels” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.
As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire, England, Mike was just 14 when hebecame the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough, but Mike doesn’t think so. At the age of 17,he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海).
Mike is now 19, and he is still trying his bestto break the records and push himself further. For his next adventure, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.
Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams. Since his adventures, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.
Amazing Facts:
Mike started sailing when hewas seven.
His trans-Atlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antigua.
His round-the-world yacht(游艇)was called TotallyMoney.com.

小题5:effect

试题分析:本文叙述了不要在自己已取得的成就上休息,要继续提高自己。并且介绍了马克这样一个不断努力前进的人。他虽然获得了世界上航行穿过大西洋最年轻的人和世界上独自航行环游世界的最年轻的人的称号,他仍在努力,计划实现下一个梦想。马克就是想用他的成就鼓励人们去实现自己的梦想。
小题1:根据The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.可知这个谚语的意思是不要对自己取得的成就如此满足,以至于不再努力提高,因此此处是不要停止前进,停止工作。故此处为improving/ working/ moving/ studying/ developing
小题2:根据Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.可知马克14岁航行穿过大西洋,创造了世界记录,成为穿过大西洋最年轻的人,故此处为 youngest。
小题3:根据At the age of 17,he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage(航海).可知在他17岁时,他成为世界上最年轻的独自航行9个月环游世界的人。故此处用副词alone。
小题4:根据he plans to fly around the world on his own,可知他计划独自飞遍世界,故此处指他的计划,故为plan/dream/ hope/ wish。
小题5:根据Mike’s speeches give young people courage to realize their dreams.可知此处指马克的演讲为人们实现自己的梦想带来尤其,也就是他的成就所起的作用,故用名词effect。

A group of swans (天鹅)flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦)was jumping around. The crow watched t     with disdain(鄙视).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “ All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s      (超出) you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles,        (表演) other flying tricks, and then came down and looked at the swan        (自豪地).
Now it was the swan’s       . He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价)about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was        but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling       the water.
The swan pretended(假装)not to notice, and said, “Why do you  k     touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No, ” said the crow. He knew he had       the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! I   you don’t help me , I’ll lose my life……”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
