The benefits of failure

Although nobody wishes to experience failure,failure plays an important role on the way to success.Sometimes,failure can benefit us a lot.When I failed my English exam last term,I felt upset at first,but then I made up my mind to study even harder.That failure motivated me to put more time and energy into learning English.Besides,I found it was my small vocabulary and poor grammar that led to my failure.So I changed my learning methods.Finally I made great progress in English.Most importantly,now I have a correct attitude towards failure.

In a word,failure is the mother of success.It really helps us to get closer to success.

三、 阅读理解

20. 阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The UK has a well--respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have

something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the

prospect（前景）of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve--wracking（令人头痛的）. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week： ●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette（礼节）. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.

●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than those who never leave their room.

●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．

A．To pass the busy university life． B．To help make friends with other freshers． C．To show yourself a drinker as others． D．To pass the time in a happy way．

35．The main purpose of the passage is to ． A．tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities B．introduce something about higher education system of the UK C．discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK

21. Hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. They can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment.

Have you heard of Hollywood? All singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal Hollywood movies. Hollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. 1 Yet Hollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. This year the Indian Filmgare Awards, Hollywood's Oscars, turn 50 years old. The typical Hollywood movie usually has the following ingredients: a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sight-seeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. There will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddie. 2 Hollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3 The actors change clothes and locations within a single song. But the audience don't mind. To Indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. The films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. The films tell them the impossible is possible and

that true love conquers all. 4 Behind the beautiful scenes, Hollywood still emphasizes traditional family values. In most films, if two lovers want to break an arranged marriage, they can't just run away. They must win over their parents. Hollywood is a decent refreshing replacement for those over-stimulating Hollywood films. 5 They will take you to a brighter, cheerier and more color1 ful world, where it's still cool to dance around a tree and sing a love song.

D．Hollywood films are mostly comic romances with light-hearted incidental music. E. Hollywood pays great attention to traditional values. F．The result is a fun-filled musical.
