Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends “highlight part”. When we look at others resumes,we get scared and think how ours do
8、esnt measure up. But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them we just dont see it. Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist,so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸 耀)about her good grades,PhD,and published papers. But the way she deals with her failure CV is
9、a model of what we could all do. “My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts it does not mention the exams I failed,my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications,or the papers never accepted for publication. During the interviews,I talk about the one project that worked,not about the many th
10、at failed,”writes Stefan in a column for N. Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log,casually but regularly,every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper. And thats the point:not to consider what we got wrong,but to use that information to both look at failure and
11、realize its really okay,and also to use our failures for another purpose:as learning tools. The point is to be real with ourselves and about how the world works. Being real means taking an honest,critical,but also kind look at what we didnt get right,and then doing our best to change what we can. In
12、stead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel,take the time to step back and analyze the practical,operational reasons that you failed. So, practice being okay with failure, and turning your failures into lessons learned. And yes, sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once,lettin
13、g go of what you cant change. And keep moving forward to success. 1What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? APlenty of failure. BA failure resume. CHighlight part. DSocial media. 2What did Stefan intend to tell us in Paragraph 3? AAll her failures in her career. BBenefits
14、she got from her failures. CThe content of her own resume. DThe difference between her resume and others. 3What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers? ARegard failures as part of our life. BKeep a record of our failures. CValue our achievements. DLong for failures. 4Which of the following best
15、describes the authors opinion? ANo pains,no gains. BAll roads lead to Rome. CWhere there is a will,there is a way. DFailure is the mother of success. 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。 即使是最有成就的人背后也会有很多失败我们只 是没有看到它。 那么我们如何看待失败呢?作者从失败的简历开始, 告诉读者不只是考虑我 们做错了什么,而是正确看待失败,把我们的失败当作学习工具,分析失败的原因,保持积 极的态度,把失败变成经验教训。继续前进,走向成功。 1
16、A 词义猜测题。根据上文“even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them”可知,即使是最有成就的人背后也会经历很多失败,分析句子可知,破折号是 对上文的解释说明,破折号后的句子说的是“我们只是看不到它”,因此推断 it 指代上文 提到的 plenty of failure。故选 A 项。 2C 主旨大意题。根据第三段可知,本段讲述的是 Stefan 在 N 的专栏中发 表的东西: 我的简历没有反映我在学术上的巨大努力它没有提到我不及格的考试, 我不 成功的博士或奖学金申请,或者从未被接受出版的论文。在面试
17、中,我谈到了一个有效的项 目,而不是许多失败的项目。因此可知,第三段 Stefan 目的是告诉我们她的简历的内容。故 选 C 项。 3B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log, casually but regularly,every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper.”可知,Stefan 建议保持一份你可以随意但定期登录的草稿,记录每一个不成功的申 请,被拒绝了的拨款提议以及被拒绝的论文。这些都是我们失败的记
18、录。故选 B 项。 4D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,对失败保持积极的态度,把你的失败变成经 验教训。有时我们必须不止一次地吸取这些教训,放弃你无法改变的东西。然后我们继续前 进,走向成功。因此推断,作者认为失败是成功之母。故选 D 项。 完形填空 Three years ago,I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department,which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity.

Any failure can be regarded as a(n) _11_ because you can always learn something from it and do _12_ next time. This is supported by John Lockes theory that we are born with blank view

I believe this is _15_ the best way to become better. 1Astrengthen Bcondemn Cinspire Drepresent 2Aidentical Btemporary Cvarious Dfalse 3Apreparations Bpr
