Question

【題目】A “clean slate” in English means having new start. It means we can forget the past and begin again. The beginning of the second term gives us a chance to have a clean slate. Some of us may have failed a subject in the first term. We may have spent Spring Festival feeling sad and (1) about the second term. But my advice is to forget about the past and think about the future. Many people have had trouble in school. Many people have failed exams. Chris, a second-year high school student remembers that clearly. In her first term she failed math. She says, “At first, I was very sad but then I studied hard and got good marks.” Penny, a high school teacher, also remembers failing math in middle school. But she improved by doing more exercises, and by asking her teacher and her classmates for (2) . After studying hard, she says, “I got almost full marks in the college entrance exams.”

Failing an exam isn’t the end of the world, we all fail sometimes. Whatever we face, it is important that we make an effort to do our best. Failing a test does not mean that we can’t go to university. It does not mean that we are stupid. It just means that we have to work harder and that we should ask for extra help from our teacher and our friends.

【解析】

本文講述的是關(guān)于考試和心態(tài)的問題。作為一個學生，沒有百分之百絕對聰明的，任何人都會有考試失敗的時候，這并沒有關(guān)系。一次的考試失敗并不會證明什么，既不能表明你上不了大學，又不能說明你本來就很蠢，只是想告訴你，你需要更加努力才行，因為只有這樣才能獲得良好的成績，只有這樣才能上好的大學，也只有這樣父母才會為我們感到驕傲。

【1】（1）句意：我們或許度過了一個對第二個學期感到悲傷和擔心的春節(jié)。worry about為……而擔心。此處考查的是“spend…doing sth.”的用法。所要填寫的動詞形式與feeling完全一致，故(1)填寫worrying。（2）句意：但她通過做更多的練習，并通過向老師和同學尋求幫助來提高。ask sb. for help向某人尋求幫助。故(2)填寫help。

【2】(A)句意：如果你聽一些輕音樂，你的麻煩(煩惱)很快就會消失。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Many people have had trouble in school.”許多人在學校遇到了麻煩(煩惱)。trouble用于此句正適合。

(B)句意：我聽不清你的話，請讓大家聽清楚！根據(jù)文中句子“Chris, a second-year high school student remembers that clearly.”二年級的學生克里斯清楚地記得那件事。本句也缺少副詞來修飾動詞hear，根據(jù)后面的句子“please make yourself heard!”可知，沒有聽清對方的話。故答案為clearly。

【3】Whatever=No matter what無論什么，face動詞，“面對”的意思；make an effort to do sth. 努力做某事；do our best盡力而為，做到最好。此句的it只是形式主語，后面的that從句是真正的主語，故答案為：無論我們面對什么，重要的是我們要盡全力做到最好。

【4】作者認為，在第一學期考試不及格時，你應該做什么？根據(jù)文中句子“But my advice is to forget about the past and think about the future.”可知，作者的建議是忘掉過去，思考未來�；卮鹦枰�用第一人稱we來回答。故答案為We are supposed to forget about the past and think about the future

【5】本文中的“考試不及格”是什么意思？根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的句子“Failing a test does not mean that we can’t go to university. It does not mean that we are stupid. It just means that we have to work harder and that we should ask for extra help from our teacher and our friends.”可知，“考試不及格”意味著我們必須更加努力，我們應該向老師和朋友尋求額外的幫助。故答案為It means we have to work harder and we should ask for extra help from our teacher and our friends.
