Quite simply because no one tells us how to face the failure(失败). In fact, failure can become experience that means growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard to prevent failure or protect their children. One way is to lower standards. Nearly 60% of the parents choose this way. When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as “perfect” even though it doesnt stand still. The other way is to blame (责怪) others. If John fails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for the real life if they dont meet enough failure. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time. The young should be allowed to experience failure.Failure never gives people pleasure. It hurts both grown-ups and children. But it can be really good to your life when you learn to use it. （请同学们注意）Please answer the following questions with no more than 6 words.69 . What can failure become in fact?_70 . How many ways do most parents choose to prevent failure and protect their children?71 . How do 60% of the parents prevent failure or protect their children?72 . What should young people be allowed to experience?73 . Who does failure hurt?_十、英译汉：整句We are in a society full of competition . In fact , everyone is born equal (平等的) . You can do what others do .74 . So everyone has his or her own advantages .Dont view(考虑) things from a single point of view . Try to discover your own advantages , and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.75 . And dont be afraid of those classmates who are better than you . Remember that self-confidence(自信) is the first step to success . Believe in yourselves and you will be successful one day !十一、材料作文76 . 书面表达为促进全民阅读，某校对全体学生的课外阅读情况做了个问卷调查。请根据下列调查数据和相关文字提示，以“Lets Read More!”为题，用英语写一篇短文，说明课外阅读的现状和意义，并就中学生如何更好地开展课外阅读活动提出你的建议。要点内容调查数据某校学生每天的课外阅读时间阅读的意义1.增长知识；2. 提高解决问题的能力；3. 培养良好的习惯，使生活丰富多彩。你的建议?(至少两点）注意：1. 词数90左右，短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数；2. 文中不得提及有关个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等。Lets Read More!To go with the Civil Reading,our school has done a survey and found that十二、启事类77 . 孙佳在九年级一班丢了一本英语词典；刘旭在图书馆捡到了一个橘色的文具盒，里面有一块橡皮和两只铅笔。丢失者很着急，拾金不昧者也急于找到失主。请你分别替他们写一份寻物启事和失物招领。电话：孙佳 313-4567刘旭 212-3456提示词：年级 grade 第 19 页 共 19 页参考答案一、单选题1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、二、补全对话7选51、三、完型填空1、四、阅读单选1、2、3、4、五、完成句子1、六、用单词的正确形式完成短文1、七、填写适当的句子补全对话1、八、填空1、九、回答问题1、十、英译汉：整句1、十一、材料作文1、十二、启事类1、
