However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people cant help doubting, Are our efforts in vain?The answer is No. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals weve reached, but also by how weve acted, which means the process(过程)is also important. Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination（目标）, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet. I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, No pains, no gains. We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫)to take an adventure?Young men, lets forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and dont miss any chance on the journey!（1）Reaching our goals will make us _. A . laugh at othersB . be over the moonC . asset another goalD . forget our efforts（2）What does the underlined phrase in vain mean in Chinese? A . 值得B . 益处C . 高效D . 徒劳（3）The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _. A . fruit is deliciousB . people can also suffer a lot in lifeC . its hard for a tree to bear fruitD . we should grow trees to get good fruit（4）Only those who_ will get the good character A . have gone through a lotB . work very hardC . believe that things will be better and betterD . believe in themselves（5）Whats the best title for this passage? A . Stand on Our Own FeetB . Process Is Also ImportantC . Dont Doubt YourselfD . Failure Is the Mother Of Success3. （8分）阅读理解What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless (无人驾驶的) cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, self-driven cars could be available very soon. But, how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Cars already have many features allowing them to take over for drivers in certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they detect objects (物体) close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery (滑的) roads.Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creatinga safe self-driving car might be possible.The self-driven car may be the answer to lowering the number of deadly (致命的) accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.（1）What does the underlined phrase “take over for” in Paragraph 3 mean?A . direct the way forB . take the place ofC . work better thanD . make use of（2）Cars already have the following features EXCEPT _.A . parking itselfB . controlling its speed in dangerous situationsC . slowing itself down near an objectD . avoiding car accidents one hundred percent（3）Scientists and engineers think that _.A . its possible to make safe self-driven carsB . its a long way for self-driven carsC . there will be no drivers in the futureD . self-driven cars may cause more accidents（4）What does the article mainly talk about?A . Advantages of self-driven cars.B . Different opinions on self-driven cars.C . Possibilities of self-driven cars.D . Googles new technologyself-driven cars.4. （10分） Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.（1）The best title（标题）of the passage is _.A .
