【题目】Have you ever had a case 【1】 a mistake helped you understand an idea or a skill? For me, it was sailing. I took a sailing class when I was in high school. No matter how many times I read the 【2】 (explain), I could not understand the difference between a “tack" and a “jibe”---two methods of turning a boat ---one much 【3】 (safe) than the other. Later, one day, when I was sailing, a heavy wind blew up. We needed to head back, 【4】 I mistook the “tack” for the “jibe” and pushed the boat in the wrong direction. Before I realized 【5】 (I) mistake, it was too late. Luckily, no one 【6】 (hurt). Only after this experience did I 【7】 (clear) understand the sailing phrase “turning on the wind” that I 【8】(read) so many times in the textbook.I never confused a “jibe” with a “tack” again! Now I often share this story 【9】 my students after they have made mistakes. I hope they can learn something from their mistakes and correct them instead of【10】 (regret) all day.
【答案】
【1】where
【2】explanation(s)
【3】safer
【4】but
【5】my
【6】was hurt
【7】clearly
【8】had read
【9】with
【10】regretting
【解析】本文主要讲了从错误中可以学到技巧,知识,作者以自身经历为例,想说明不要把犯错误当做一件很后悔的事情,而是从错误中学习一些东西。
【1】where 考查关系代词。当先行词为case,point等时,需用关系词where来引导定语从句,故填where。
【2】explanation 考查名词。这里指的是读这个解释,所以这里需用名词,explain为动词,需用名词explanation。
【3】safer 考查比较级。由句中的than可知,该句需用形容词的比较级,所以需填safer.
【4】but 考查连词。这里的意思是我们需要转头,但是我犯了一个错误,所以这里表示转折关系,需用but。
【5】my 考查形容词性物主代词。这里指的是我的错误,所以需用形容词性物主代词my。
【6】was hurt 考查被动语态。这里no one与hurt之间是被动的关系,所以需用be done的形式,故填was hurt。
【7】clearly 考查副词。这里需用副词来修饰动词understand,clear为形容词,需改为副词clearly。
【8】had read 考查过去完成时。该句需用过去完成时,表示在过去看过的。故填had read。
【9】with 考查介词。Share sth with sb和某人分享某物,为固定短语。故填with。
【10】regretting 考查介词。Instead of 后需接动词的ing形式。故填regretting.

Golden Rules of Good Design
What makes good design? Over the years, designers and artists have been trying to【1】the essentials of good design. They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design. There are four as follows.
Less is more. This saying is associated with the German-born architect Mies van der Rohe. In his Modernist view, beauty lies in simplicity and elegance, and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means. Design should avoid unnecessary【2】
More is not a bore. The American-born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly, the result is【3】design. Post-Modernist designers began to【4】with decoration and color again. Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen【5】such as ovens and kettles.
Fitness for purpose. Successful product design takes into consideration a product’s function, purpose, shape, form, color, and so on. The most important result for the user is that the product does what is【6】. For example, think of a(n)【7】desk lamp. It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user. It also needs to be stable. Most importantly, it needs to【8】light where it is needed.
From follows emotion. This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger. He believes design must take into【9】the sensory side of our nature—sight, smell, touch and taste. These are as important as rational(理性的). When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste, we appreciate a cool-looking device that allows us to easily【10】the toothpaste onto our brush.

【题目】How to become a better reader
Language and literacy(读写能力) are among humans’ greatest inventions. Evolving(演变) over the course of human history, languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes. Today, surrounded(包围) by social media, television, movies, and, of course, books, the ability to read and write is important to expressing one’s feelings. Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old, but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives. 【1】
(1) Take it slow. Many readers feel that they read too slowly, especially compared with others. 【2】 The best readers are flexible(灵活的) — slowing down when needed — and always have a dictionary at hand.
(2) Read aloud. When humans first began reading written words, it was unusual to read in silence. 【3】 Try listening to the author reading their own work — you’ll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page.
(3) Write. Writing and reading go hand-in-hand: how and what you read affects how and what you write, and the best readers often make the best writers. But while much can be learned from close, repeated readings, there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing. 【4】
(4) Tell your friends. All of the literature is essentially communication from an individual’s inner voice to an audience. 【5】 It’s a good way to see the world from someone else’s eyes and, in the process, carefully examine your own reaction to what you’re reading.
A. But the truth is that the faster you read, the less likely you are to understand fully what you’re reading.
B. Can you remember the first piece of writing that transported you to another world?
C. There is something magical about sharing books with friends or a book club.
D. Try writing every day for a month, and you will never read the same again.
E. Reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability.
F. Here are 4 ways to become a better reader.
G. In no time, you’ll be appreciating novels like fine wine.

【题目】 On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Slide cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.
"Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?" the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. "I’m from Mississippi too."
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.
"They began telling me all the news of Mississippi," Welty said. "I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking."
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).
"My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’" Welty added. "And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’"
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.
"I don’t make them up," she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. "I don’t have to."
Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.
【1】What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?
A. Two strangers joined her.
B. Her childhood friends came in
C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.
D. Some people held a party there.
【2】The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s _______.
A. readers B. parties
C. friends D. stories
【3】 What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?
A. They live in big cities.
B. They are mostly women.
C. They come from real life.
D. They are pleasure seekers.
