11．Ruth Ginsburg spent her life fighting for women to be treated equally.In doing so，she became an inspiring role model for women and girls around the world.
Her passion for women's rights began when she was young.She started off her adult life having trouble finding a job.Even though she had earned a law degree from Columbia University and was smart and capable of doing the job，she was passed over primarily.She felt she was being treated unfairly，or looked down on，only because she was a woman.She knew this was wrong and wanted to do something about it.But at the time there were no laws in the United States to protect her.
She decided to devote her career to being a lawyer and fighting for equal rights of women.Then，early in her lawyer career，when she was 29 years old，Ms.Ginsburg took a trip to Sweden to perform legal research.
To begin，in Sweden，she saw a female judge hosting a judgment.Then she observed law school classrooms where about 25% of the students were female vs.jye.ai own law school where only about 2% were female.Seeing the progress women had made in Sweden，she was even more sure that America was behind and wrong in its treatment of women.What she saw really focused her on fighting for women in the workplace.
Back in the USA，where laws advocating（提倡）for women's rights were missing，she decided to help invent laws，write them，and defend them.Ginsburg also became a professor to help other women to become lawyers so that they could do the same thing.
In 1993，after years of practicing and teaching law，she became the second female judge of the Supreme（最高）Court and one of the most respected judges in history.She changed the lives of many women and girls in the United States and beyond.

D．She received unfair treatment.
（2）For what purpose did Ginsburg decide to be a lawyer？

12．"I'm going to fail!"My best friend cried.She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects.I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist（完美主義者）.What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example，failure can help build relationships.Once I was cooking dinner for a friend.I was tired，and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad.I grew more and more upset（傷心的） until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry.She cared more about our friendship than the dishes.That day，I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you.In fact，after she said those words to me，I grew closer to her.
Failure can make success ever more exciting.Every few years there would be an important test in the PE class at our school.Students had to run a mile within eight minutes.I was never good at running，so I failed every time until the third year at school.Then I began working out regularly（有規(guī)律地），and yet I still failed that year.A few days later，however，the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally!You can't imagine how excited I was after that.I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey，because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now it's clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons.It's not an end-it can be a beginning.
（1）What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs？
A．She liked taking tests.
B．She was afraid of failures.
C．She often failed in study.
D．She knew how to be perfect.
（2）What did the author finally get from a failed cooking？
A．Bad feelings.
B．Worries.
C．A closer friendship.
D．More experience.
（3）Why did the author feel excited after the running test？
A．Because she could work out regularly.
B．Because she got another chance to take the test.
C．Because she received honey as a reward.
D．Because she achieved success after many failures.
（4）The author wrote this passage.
A．to show the negative effects of failures
B．to point out her best friends' fear of failures
C．to encourage the readers to face failures bravely
D．to introduce different types of failures組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -
13．In the first days of the new year，a photo from Rio's traditional fireworks show on Copacanaba Beach has spread like wildfire on Brazilian social networks - a short of a little boy，alone，wading into the water，separated from the joyful crowd celebrating and taking pictures behind him．Arms crossed，he stares up wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the fireworks in the sky．
Despite the absence of any information about the child other than his age 9，the image Lucas Landau shot for Reuters news agency has sparked tens of thousands of shares and comments on social media，newspaper articles，blog posts and a national debate about race，class and inequality．To some，it's just a photo of a young black boy attracted by the spectacular New Year's Eve fireworks．People need to stop thinking that all black boys，without shirts on，are abandoned，sad，alone and unhappy．To others，the image is emblematic of Brazil's acute inequality．
About half of Brazil's population of 200 million identify as mixed-race/black，second only to Nigeria．But black and mixed-raced Brazilians are underrepresented in academia，politics and leadership roles．Less than 10 percent of Brazil's Congress is black，and just 18 percent of leadership roles and held by Afro-Brazilians．
For Luiz Augusto Campos，a sociologist at Rio State University，the wide-ranging interpretations of the photo，as well as the explosive debate it generated，represents a changing tide for Afro-Brazilians． "The fact that it's become so problematic is a reflection of a complex transition in terms of race in Brazil，" he said，adding that 20 or 30 years ago，the photo would have stirred few or no concerns about whether it strengthened negative stereotypes（刻板印象）．
"These changes are still relatively small in Brazil，but they have the long-term objective of dissociating the ideas of blackness and poverty，" Campos said．
（1）What can we learn from the passage？
A．The boy in the photo has been abandoned and needs urgent help．
B．Afro-Brazilians are mistreated because they are in the minority．
C．The debate the image generates worsens the acute inequality．
D．The boy's age is mentioned in the news．
（2）Which word can be used to replace the underlined word "emblematic"？
A．Problematic．
B．Representative．
C．Objective．
D．Significant．
（3）Which of the following statements may Campos agree with？
A．The debate reflects a positive tendency in Brazil．
B．The debate could have been more fierce 20 or 30 years ago．
C．The Afro-Brazilians should fight for their rights．
D．The Afro-Brazilians have successfully raised their social status．
（4）What problem does the photo reflect according to this passage？
A．The racial inequality in Brazil．
B．The social status of the Afro-Brazilians．
C．The stereotype to associate blackness with poverty in Brazil．
D．The Afro-Brazilians' fighting for rights．組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -

19．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語繽寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment，struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day，I headed to the downtown for an interview.I sat down in the streetcar，and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls，among which there was a name carved.
On impulse（沖動） I determined to find the owner myself.I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself.Then I searched a telephone book for the name，I found it immediately and called it，waiting patiently，and then a lady answered.
"Yes，" she said in surprise，with extreme excitement. "It was my umbrella which had been stolen B year ago."
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house.She took the umbrella，with teary eyes，explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents，now dead，Her happiness at retrieving（找回）this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something，so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard.I can only obtain temporary employment，for a small salary.What was worse，I had just lost my last job before Christmas，with only fifteen dollars left.Unless a miracle happened，I would be homeless in January，foodless and jobless.I had prayed steadily for weeks，and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment，with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening.But there should be no Christmas for me，I knew，no gifts，no remembrance whatsoever.
Thinking of this，I couldn't control my tears on my way home，but I managed a smile so could greet my little daughter.She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms，screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift.There I stood，frozen，overwhelmed by misery.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答
Suddenly，the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it，calling that it must be Santa Claus.______.
