They both help you to see your aims(目标) in life.Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course，they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aims and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano，you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do it well.It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.Its a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.（1）Is it possible to decide what you like without trying? （2）To decide what to do in the future, which is more important, to find out what you like or to find out what you dont like? （3）In which way is failing important to people? （4）How can you find out your true interests? （5）What does it take to become a great pianist? 五、 短文填空 (共1题；共1分)26. （1分）Did you go _(fish) every day?六、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)27. （5分）假如你是李梅，你的朋友肖华要去美国朋友Dave家做客，但他不知道应该注意什么，因此，他写信向你寻求帮助。请你根据以下要点提示给他写一封回信，简要说明去美国朋友家做客的注意事项。要点提示：1）买一件小礼物：2）准时到达：3）用餐时，赞扬菜的味道好：4）别停留太久：5）告别时说“谢谢”。要求：1）短文须包含要点提示中的所有信息（不要逐字翻译），并在此基础上适当发挥；2）80词左右（短文开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数）。Dear Xiao Hua,Im very happy to hear from you.Yours,Li Mei第 14 页 共 14 页参考答案一、 单项选择 (共20题；共40分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、16-1、17-1、18-1、19-1、20-1、二、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)21-1、三、 阅读理解 (共3题；共25分)22-1、22-2、22-3、22-4、22-5、23-1、23-2、23-3、23-4、23-5、24-1、四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共25分)25-1、25-2、25-3、25-4、25-5、五、 短文填空 (共1题；共1分)26-1、六、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)27-1、
