People can reduce, reuse, or recycle waste instead of throwing it away. Matt and Sam decided to do an
experiment. They wanted to see exactly how much waste the three R’s could save.
First, they collected the rubbish from six classrooms at their school. They divided the rubbish into three
groups:
,
Things that were reusable such as a pencil or a marker that had been thrown away
Things that could be recycled, such as cans, glass, or paper
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Things that were truly waste
Then, Matt and Sam weighed each of the three groups. They learned that 84%of the total rubbish thrown
away that day could be recycled or reused. They decided to do something about it.
Matt and Sam presented the idea of starting a recycling programme to the school leaders. Then they worked
with the Student Council. They prepared brochures (手册) to send home to tell the students and their families about
recycling. They stated in the brochure that recycling helps to keep our planet healthy. The school bought colored
containers (容器) for each classroom. Each room received a blue container for paper and a green container for glass
and cans. They also received a red container for real rubbish.
Within a short time, each classroom in the school was sorting recyclable materials from rubbish before it was
thrown. Matt and Sam decided to weigh the rubbish one more time. They wanted to check the school’s progress.
They collected the rubbish from the red containers from the same six classrooms as before. They sorted the rubbish
into three groups again and weighed each group. This time, they were pleased to find that the red containers were
filled with 90% waste that should be thrown away. Only 10% of recyclable materials had been thrown into the red
containers. Matt and Sam were pleased with their school’s effort at reducing waste on our planet.

When watching sports events, we often notice athletes wearing earphones on while preparing in the locker
room or entering the stadium. They keep their eyes shut, and gently nod along the beats. It seems the music is
giving them power and cheering them up for the competition. We sometimes do the same. You might have a list of
favorite songs for your morning exercises. But is there any science behind such practices?
According to a recent research, it turns out there is. Music actually does make us feel powerful, but not all
songs have the same effect.
The research was led by Dennis Hsu of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwester University in the
US. His team had people listen to 31 songs of different types. The listeners felt powerful after listening to some
songs, such as Queen’s We Will Rock You and 2 Unlimited Get Ready for This.
Researchers also found that high-power music made people want to take control in social events and come
first in competition. That matters a lot in sports. “It’s commonly said that sports are 90 percent mental and only 10
percent physical,” The Huffington Post reported.
Great athletes know this idea well. NBA player Kobe Bryant, for example, often puts on big headphones and
even falls into deep thought to boost his game and reduce his anxiety.
As for the reason for music’s magical power, Hsu’s team came up with one possible explanation: when
people hear music that expresses a sense of power, they mimic（模拟） these feelings in their mind.
When choosing music, we also need to look at the type of music, according to researchers.
In previous research by the Music in Exercise and Sports Group at Brunei University in London, they found
that pop was perfect for slower, more repetitive-type tasks. If you’re warming up or cooling down after exercises,
pop songs are the correct choice.
Dance music was found to be best suitable to strength and weight training because it’s “fast and rhythmical
（有节奏感的）.”
学科网（北京）股份有限公司During high-intensity（高强度的）workouts, though, you’d better not listen to rock. Its different changes in
tempo（节拍）can affect your rhythm.
27. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? ________
A. To introduce favorite songs for morning exercises.
B. To lead in the topic that music matters in sports.
C. To give an example of athletes’daily life.
D. To explain how to choose music.
28. According to the passage, Dennis Hsu probably agrees that ________.
A. listening to music always makes athletes relaxed
B. powerful music can make people produce similar feelings in their mind
C. the result of a game is mainly affected by the physical condition of the players
D. most athletes still don’t know the effects of high-power music on their performance
29. The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. control B. lose C. continue D. improve
30. What can we learn from the passage? ________
A. Pop music is a reasonable choice for high-intensity workouts.
B. Rock music helps people keep their rhythms when exercising.
C. People are advised to listen to pop music before and after exercise.
D. People should dance to music while doing strength and weight training.
【答案】27. B 28. B 29. D 30. C

choice.”可知当你在锻炼前进行热身或者锻炼之后想放松一下自己的话，流行音乐是不错的选择。故选C。
Most of us fear failure. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. In fact, the word success
comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after”. And what does success usually come after? Failure. It
seems that one cannot exist without the other.
Every failure-even the worst ones-helps us learn to do things differently in the future. “Learning from the
past mistakes and making changes helped me to reach the top of Everest successfully,” says mountaineer Pete
Athans, who has now reached the world’s highest peak (山峰) seven times.
Failure also reminds us that things can go wrong-sometimes with terrible results.
Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is the first woman to reach the top of all 14 of the world’s 8, 000-meter peaks
without extra oxygen (氧气). In 2007, while climbing in Nepal, she was in an avalanche (雪崩). She survived, but
two nearby Spanish climbers died. The experience taught Kaltenbrunner that no matter how prepared a person is,
bad things can still happen. But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on.
Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to tell people that we are failures
because our good name depends on success. However, things are slowly changing. In the past ten years, some
scientific magazines-mostly in medicine-have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science
community can also learn from “negative’ results and that this can finally lead to positive outcomes.
The business world already understands the value of negative results. Eli Lilly and Company has failure
parties to study data about medicine that doesn't work.
In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures became one of its biggest successes. In the early
1990s, Apple Corporation created the Apple Newton. It was one of Apple’s biggest failures. However, Apple’s
CEO,
Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential (潜力) and he began to improve it. In time, this led to the
creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.
The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. There is a lot we can
learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same
coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.
31. The writer writes Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly to ________.
A. show how bad things can become important lessons
B. tell us that it's possible for anyone to be successful
C. prove how bad things can happen in any situation
D. teach us what not to do when climbing mountains
学科网（北京）股份有限公司32. The underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. unable B. unsure C. unwilling D. uninterested
33. What is the passage mainly about? ________
A. An attitude towards failure. B. The experience of success.
C. A difficult way to success. D. The rewards of failure.
【答案】31. A 32. C 33. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，短文通过登山运动员和苹果公司等例子，说明成功来自失败的道理。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据二三段内容，结合“Every failure-even the worst ones-helps us learn to do things differently
in the future…But Kaltenbrunner decided she had to learn from her experience and move on”可知，作者写第二
段和第三段主要是为了说明糟糕的事情如何成为重要的教训，“show how bad things can become important
lessons”符合题意，故选A。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上下文“Accepting failure is not easy for many, though…we are failures because our good
name depends on success”，可知是说人们不愿意告诉别人自己是失败者，unwilling应该表示“不愿意”。
故选C。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据短文所举登山运动员和苹果公司等例子，结合“Most of us fear failure. However, without
failure, progress would be impossible”，可知没有失败进步是不可能的，说明成功来自失败的道理；“The
rewards of failure”符合文意，故选D。

Chinese Fancy Knot
Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese
culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China and became popular in
the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well
received.
Chinese Fancy Knots there. Now they are taken as one of the most classic symbols of Chinese culture. As
学科网（北京）股份有限公司for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. It is related to
lots of cultural ideas—marriage, brotherhood, reunion, etc. Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese word
jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s
strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck.
Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese culture, come in different sizes.
Small ones are connected to jewelry (珠宝), clothes, gift—packages and furniture in order to attract people’s
attention, while large ones are used to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a
dozen basic knot patterns (图案) named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin
Knots are called shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good
things come in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two exactly
similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of a
single string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have different traditional
cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red means good luck and happiness, green
means health, and yellow, which was once known as a emperor’s colour, may means wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully reflect (反映) the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly
coloured knots of different patterns, with their endless chains of knots, mean that life on earth will continue
forever.

35. What does the Chinese character for “knot” mean? __________________

Dear foreign students,
We are sorry to tell you that the school has to cancel the trip this Sunday because of the heavy rain.
Instead of going for an outing, we will take you to visit the Capital Museum on that day. In the museum, you can
see some old famous paintings, enjoy various valuable exhibits, and listen to the guides’ vivid introduction. I
believe it will be a good chance for you to learn about the history and culture of Beijing. While visiting the

Hope you will enjoy the visit to the Capital Museum.
