2019中考英语阅读理解（编三）含参考答案【实战训练】 A（2019中考教育类选练）Do you consider failure as an ending? Do you often feel after a failure that you are good for nothing? Then be careful, you are one of them who have bad relationship with failure. And this is the only reason why people often keep themselves away from their success. The power of failure is that it helps us to learn fro our mistakes and missteps and we must consider a failure as an opportunity to grow rather than giving up.Lets discover the reasons why successful people believe that opportunity lies in every failure.Disappointment or failure shows that you are tryingThe best way to gauge（衡量）your progress at something is to see how many times you failed. In case you havent failed yet, chances are that you havent tried hard yet.Look at all successful men and women throughout our history, they all had one thing in common. Thats to say they failed not once but several times before they achieved success. Lets take an example of Thomas Edison: he failed a lot of times to find right filament（灯丝）for his light bulb. Henry Ford had a stronger relationship with failure, which inspired him to quote this unforgettable saying “failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.”Achievement lies in looking at failure as an opportunityJust like every successful person had one thing in common, similarly all unsuccessful persons throughout our history had one thing in common - their inability to use failure as an opportunity and a tool. If you feel your one failure is your ultimate （终极的）failure, and that feeling of sinking down is known as an ultimate failure, you are pushing yourself away from your expected success. Achievement is all about finding out what mistakes you made, what is the main cause of that failure, and how you are going to make up for it.Success requires willpower, passion, hard work, intelligence, determination, but all of the above, success requires failure. Use your failure as an opportunity to learn, to become wiser and to reconsider your relationship with failure, the true key to success.1.

Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact (联系)these beings(人；生物). Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. “This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life,” Shostak and Barnett said. The second reason is sizethe universe is huge. “Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies,” says Shostak. “And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth.”In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planetsthe size of Mars or Earthin other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life. Have beings from space already visited Earth? “Probably not,” says Shostak. “Its a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other ways, such as radio signals(信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we dont have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we can communicate with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other.”【小题1】Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are _.

I want to pick it off，” she cried. “Each of us is born with special marks. Some of them can be seen, but some of them are invisible(看不见的)”“What kind of mark is invisible？” she asked. “Well.a mark of kindness, even the mark of a loving heart. We cant see them, but they are very special marks.”“Why cant mine all be invisible？” she asked. “I can see many of your special marks, such as the color of your eyes, the shape of your nose and the smile on your face. Nobody else in the whole world has the same things as you. Special marks, inside and outside, are the things that make each of us different and special.”She didnt understand all of my words, but she stopped crying. The next morning, Mary ran into the kitchen. She said to my husband, “I have a beauty mark.
