Even Intelligent People Can Fail
1 The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is
how often they failed.Turn on a light,take a photograph,watch TV,search the Web,jet
across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a celiphone（手机）.The innovators who left us these
things had to find the way to success through a maze（错综复杂）of wrong turns.
2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison's
success in heating a thin line to white-hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey,U.S.
He did that on October 22,1879,and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of
common cardboard alight（点亮着的）in an airless space for 45 hours.Three years later
he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan,even though only one of
the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on,on September 4,1882.
3 "Many of life's failures,"the supreme innovator said,"are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up."Before that magical moment in
October 1879,Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light,but
in only two cases did his experiments work.
4 No one likes failure,but the smart innovators learn from it.Mark Gumz,the head of
the camera maker Olympus America Inc,attributes some of the company's successes in
technology to understanding failure.His popular phrase is:"You only fail when you quit."
5 Over two centuries,the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence.
That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were
doing.Walt Disney,the founder of Disneyland,was so broke after a succession of
financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the U.S.
$1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop.Pioneering car maker Henry Ford failed with
one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T car.
6 Failure is harder to bear in today's open,accelerated world.Hardly any innovation works the
first time.But an impatient society and the media want instant success.When American music
and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time,a critic said nastily that the only difference
between Geffen Records(Geffen's company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down)was
that the Titanic had better music.Actually,it wasn't.After four years of losses,Geffen had so
many hits（成功的作品）he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
Paragraph 4_________
A:Importance of learning from failure
B:Quality shared by most innovators
C:Edison's innovation
D:Edison's comment on failure
E:Contributions made by innovators
F:Miseries endured by innovators

Can Mobile Phones Cause Disease?
1 "Mobile phone killed my man,"screamed one headline last year.Also came claims
that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss.And a British
newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly（假定地）showing how mobile
phones heat the brain.
2 For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worrying times.But speak to the scientists
whose work is the focus of these scares and you will hear a different story.According to them,
there is no evidence that mobile phones cause cancer or any other illness in people.
3 What we do have,however, are some results suggesting that mobile phones'
emissions have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can't be explained by the
general radiation biology.And it's only when the questions raised by these experiments are
answered that we'll be able to say for sure what mobile phones might be doing to the head.
4 One of the odd effects comes from the now famous"memory loss" study.Alan Preece
and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave
emissions of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were just as good
at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen whether or not
the device was switched on.Preece says he still can't comment on the Effects of using a
mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an
immediate effect on our cognitive abilities." I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term
memory,"he says.
5 Another expert,Tattersall,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about
memory loss.One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses（突触）
exposed to microwaves become more一rather than less一receptive（感受的）to undergoing
changes linked to memory formation.
6 Hopefully,microwaves might turn out to be good for you.It sounds crazy,but a couple
of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California
found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain
tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical.
Tattersall said for sure that the________over memory loss caused by mobile phones was unqrounded.
A:different messages
B:is hoped
C:public attention
D:solid evidence
E:attracted public attention
F:public anxiety

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives
Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their
houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose（蔗糖）and
was chewed on for its sweet taste.Over time,sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant,grown
throughout the world.___________(46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery（糖果点心）to medicine,
and,as the demand for sugar grew,the industry became larger and more profitable._________(47)Many
crops withered（枯萎）and died,despite growers'attempts to save them,and there were fears that the health
of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the 1960s,scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger
and more able to resist disease.They experimented with breeding programmes,mixing genes from the wild
species of sugar cane,which tends to be tougher,with genes from the more delicate,commercial type.
_________(48)This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially,but when this happens,it is
expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.
___________(49)Brazil,which produces one quarter of the world's sugar,has coordinated an interna-
tional project under Professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual de Campinas in Sao Paulo.Teams
of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are
important for the production of sugar and its overall health.
Despite all the research,however,we still do not fully understand how the genes function in sugar
cane.__________(50)This gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust,a dis-
ease which probably originated in India,but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world.Scien-
tists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.
__________(46)
A:The majority of the world's sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.
B:Unfortunately,however,the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.
C:Eventually,a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before,but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.
D:Since the 1960s,scientists have been analysing the mysteries of the sugar cane's genetic code.
E:One major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D'Hont and her team in Montpelier,France.
F: Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed.

The Family
The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society.The family's form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences.
Until recently,the most common form in North America was the nuclear family,consisting of a married couple with their minor children.The nuclear family is an independent unit,It must be prepared to fend for itself.Individual family members strongly depend on one another.There is little help from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so.In North America,the elderly often do not live with the family；they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.
There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies,such as
North America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility.In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt for food.For North Americans,the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.
The nuclear family was not always the North American standard.In a more agrarian time,the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family.This might have included grandparents,mother and father,brothers and sisters,uncles,aunts,and cousins.
In North America today,there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households.
Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced,separated,or nevermarried individuals as are comprised of nuclear families.The structure of the family,not just in North America,but throughout the world,continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.
The information in this passage would most likely be found in______.
A:an anthropology textbook
B:a biology textbook
C:a mathematics textbook
D:a geography textbook

答案如下：
A解析：题干意为“下面哪个选项可以作为这篇短文另一个合适的标题？”该题为主旨题。短文开篇就提到了家庭结构，短文最后一句意为“不仅在北美洲，在全世界范围，家庭结构都会随着情况的不断变化而改变。”由此可见这篇短文的主题与家庭结构相关，由此可以进一步确认答案为A“家庭的结构是什么”。
题干意为“核心家庭的定义是什么？”该题为细节题，第一段的第三句话对核心家庭进行了定义Until recently,the most common form in North America was the nudle-ar family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children．该句意为“直到最近，北美洲最普遍的家庭形式为核心家庭，由一对夫妇和他们未成年的孩子构成”。由此可知A“由一对夫妇和他们未成年的孩子构成的家庭”是答案。
题干意为“这篇文章最有可能出自哪里？”该题属于主旨题。该短文主题涉及家庭，因此最有可能出自人类学课本，所以A是正确的答案。
题干意为“第一段主要以何种方式陈述的？”根据第一段的陈述方式，并没有列出数据或者讲故事，而是通过描述共性而阐述出核心家庭的概念。因此C“指出相似性”是正确的答案。
题干意为“mobility是什么意思？”mobility是mobile“可移动的，机动的”的名词形式。首先在短文中找到mobihty存在的语境： （第二段）There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The nuclear familystructure is well adapted to a life of mobility.In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt for food.For North Americans,the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.mobility所在的上下文意为“核心家庭结构良好地适应于……的生活。在恶劣的条件下，……能让一个家庭吃饱饭，对北美洲人来说，找工作和提高社会地位同样需要……。”四个选项中，A“钱”,B“随时准备迁居”,C“组织，机构”,D“技能，技巧”，显然B“随时准备迁居”填入mobility所在的语境中合适，因此答案为B。

题干意为“mobility是什么意思？”mobility是mobile“可移动的，机动的”的名词形式。首先在短文中找到mobihty存在的语境： （第二段）There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America,and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.The nuclear familystructure is well adapted to a life of mobility.In harsh conditions,mobility allows the family to hunt for food.For North Americans,the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.mobility所在的上下文意为“核心家庭结构良好地适应于……的生活。在恶劣的条件下，……能让一个家庭吃饱饭，对北美洲人来说，找工作和提高社会地位同样需要……。”四个选项中，A“钱”,B“随时准备迁居”,C“组织，机构”,D“技能，技巧”，显然B“随时准备迁居”填入mobility所在的语境中合适，因此答案为B。

Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad
Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins
in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sports but complained that they
could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,"You cannot play sports wearing shoes
that you'd walk around town with."So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of
athletic shoes with spikes（钉）,produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.
On 1 st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many
years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and
1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have sug-
gested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nick-
name was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company,too.At first he wanted to
call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat
has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies
have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,
though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written a
song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years
ago ,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to
each other.
Nike makes more shoes than Adidas.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案如下：
B解析：根据句意，“每次骨折似乎总是发生在做运动时”，应当选用动词do。practise “练习”，后面应跟某一项具体的训练，而不是sport，所以正确答案为C。
play the part of...为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个……的角色”，其他三项均不合适。
联系上下文，根据句意，“在影片制作过程中”，所以应当用during。
根据句意，“Harrelson在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨……”，而且后面的动词complain用的是ing形式，因此动词keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue后加动词ing 形式一般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry一般后面跟介词on，表示“进行某项事务”,insist 表示“坚决主张”，不合句意，所以选A。
联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里scenes是正确答案。
be keen on为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣，对……热衷”,interest后面配介词in, enthusiastic后面配介词of。
联系上下文，作者要表达的是“最终他还是被他的搭档说服了”，副词eventu-ally放在动词persuade之前，lastly表示“最后一点，最后”,“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示“最后”。
根据句意，“当他意识到……是全心全意投意入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定”，显然是对手非常认真地对待这场打斗，所以C项opponent是正确答案。
so...that…固定搭配，意为“太……以至于”，根据句意，“ Harrelson如此重重地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了 Banderas的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。
固定搭配take a risk，表示“冒险”。
联系上下文，根据句意，“他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛”, 是因为鼻子骨折这件事促使他想起了故乡的那次比赛，remind表示“提醒”，符合句意。remember表示“自然想起，记起”不合句意。
根据句意和后面的介词of，显然，“他一直梦想成为一名足球明星”,dream 是正确答案。pretend“假装”，后面跟介词to，不合句意；look forward表示“向往”，后面跟介词 to，不合句意。
固定搭配take up sth.，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是 “我决定开始演戏”，因此A项up是正确答案。
联系上下文，Banderas显然把它看成是另外一种比赛，所以只有D项an-other符合句意。
词组football pitch，表示“足球场”。前面由介词on引导，后面一定是场地，也就是足球场，而不是match“比赛”。court表示“网球场”,course表示“跑道”，均不符合句意。
