二、完型填空

I
looked
up
the
word
“
successful
”

in
my
dictionary
and
some
of
the
words
listed
were:
happy,
fortunate,
and
hard-working.
If
that
is
the
definition(
定义
)
of
“
successful
”
,
then
I am truly successful after 15 .
I started dabbling(
涉足
) in the Internet marketing in October 2020. It didn
’
t take
long for me to become a 16 of the
“
become-a-millionaire-overnight
”
thought that
was so popular on the Internet. I had supposed that selling things on the Internet was so
easy
that
even
beginners
could
start
mak
ing
money
on
the
very 17 day.
I
spent
most
of
my
time
advertising
rather
than
learning 18 to
advertise.
However,
half
a
year
’
s
hard work led to no money at all.
In
June,
I
found
a
program
that
was 19 ,
and
I
began
to
learn
from
it.
It
wasn
’
t
long before I gave 20 the
“
get- rich-quick
”
mind. I began to 21 that the
Internet sale is a job like any other job and I would have to take it 22 . I kept
trying to cheer myself up, which I thought was the key to success in sales. I insisted on
the
excellent
Internet
marketing
and
then
good 23 came.
My
dabbling
became
a
hobby,
and then passion(
热情
). Later passion 24 my business. I have really become a
millionaire within a year.
The
more
I
learn,
the
more
I
realize
I
need
to
learn
more.
I’
ve
made
a
lot
of
mistakes,
but I know that every mistake is just one more step forward, as a song tells us
“
You
’
ve
got to lose to know how to win.
”

It
seems
food
deliverymen(
送货员
)
are
always
in
a
hurry.
They
wear
blue,
red
or
yellow
helmets and many of them don
’
t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the
road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving.
These reckless behaviors have caught the public
’
s attention.
In the first half of 2020, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai,
according
to
Shanghai
Public
Security
Bureau.
That
means
every
two
and
a
half
days,
a
food
deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.
What
makes
deliveryman
take
such
risks?
The
strict
rules
of
the
food
delivery
service
companies and the impatient customers may be the answer.
Many companies will fine a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an
order on time,
reported China daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from
customers.
To
solve
the
problem,
food
delivery
service
companies
need
to
improve
their
incentive(
激励
) system, noted CRI Online.
Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their
deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught
breaking
traffic
rules
more
than
twice,
then
he
can
be
prevented
from
driving
food
service
delivery vehicles for a whole year.
28. How many traffic accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half
of 2020?
A. 38




B. 76


C. 153


D. 2,000
29. The companies will fine them if a food deliveryman __________.
A. gets bad views









B. obeys traffic rules
D. delivers food on time
C. drives too slowly
30. What
’
s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Companies are improving their review systems.
B. Some cities are working to improve the situation.
C. To drive safely, food deliverymen will obey more traffic rules.
D. Food deliverymen cannot drive on important roads in the future.

When the two brothers were old enough to marry, their father was not happy because
their
family
wasn
’
t
so
rich
that
the
brothers
often
argued
with
each
other
ab
out
some
small
interest. He really
didn’t
know how they would fight when they broke up the family and
lived apart(
分开的
).
One
day,
their
father
was
sick,
lying
in
bed
and
staring(
凝视
)
at
something,
when
the
elder son came over to wish him good health. His father said,
“
Ask your brother to come
here, and I have something to say.
”

The younger brother arrived. Their father sat up and said,
“I
don
’
t know how the
disease hit.
I’
m feeling terribly unwell.
”
The brothers persuaded (
劝说
) their father
not to worry about it, but he shook his head,
“
In fact, I don
’
t worry about the disease
because I can manage it, but if you are in disorder with each other in the future, it will
be our family
’
s disease and no one can deal with it.
”

The brothers felt ashamed.
The father got out of the bed, pointed to some chickens in the yard and said,
“
Look
at
them
sittin
g
there
in
peace
with
each
other,
isn
’
t
it
good?
”

Then
their
father
brought
out a bowl of corns, went quietly behind the house and spread most of them on the ground.
Then he went back to the yard with only a few corns left and flung(
挥动
) at the chickens.
As soon as they saw the corns, the chicken jumped up, waved their wings and fought for it.
The peaceful world was now filled with smoke of gunpowder for some corns.
The brothers smiled and understood what their father was driving at.
Their father added,
“
Both of you saw more corns are behind the house
…”

As
a
matter
of
fact,
aren
’
t
there
many
tro
ubles
in
life
because
God
spread
some
corns
before us?
31. How did the old man think of his illness?
A. It was serious, but he could go through it.

B. It was serious, so he couldn
’
t live long.
C. It was serious, and he could hardly stand it.
D. It was not serious, and he thought
of it as nothing.
32. Why did the old man spread most of the corns on the ground?
A. Because the chickens had already had enough.
B. Because he wanted the chickens to fight for the rest.
C. Because he wanted to show the terrible scene to his sons.
D. Because he wanted his sons to grow more corns next year.
33. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. We should find new ways to deal with troubles in life.
B. People should be hard-working and live peacefully together.
C. There are always bad things in our life which we should face.
D. The disease of a family is more serious than the disease of a person.

Many people believe the glare(
炫目的光
) from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, with
dark glasses or not, they may have headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness
after several hours of snow light.
The
United
States
army
has
now
found
out
that
glare
from
snow
does
not
cause
snow- blindness
in
army
in
a
snow- covered
country.
Rather,
a
man
’
s
eyes
often
find
nothing
