　20.

　21.

　答案②不是有了浓厚的兴趣就一定会取得好成绩。③不是有了兴趣和好成绩毕业后就一定能很好地适应社会需要。

　解析试题分析：本题题目是?下面文段有三处推断存在三处问题，请参照①的方式，说明另外两处问题?，文段中?有了浓厚的兴趣，必将取得好成绩?毕业后一定能很好适应社火需要?推断存在问题，由推断的条件，并不一定能得出所推断的结果。仿照①的方式不是只有学了工科才能激发好奇心?把理由表述出来即可。

　Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I?ve ever had: Be bold and brave ? and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.

　Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

　Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas ? even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

　Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. ?In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,? said Tim. ?I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet ? and stopped him cold.?

　Boldness ? a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme?is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

　So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities?and you?ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

　25. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

　A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces.

　C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success.

　26. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

　A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.

　C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.

　27. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

　A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults. B. Trying without success is meaningless.

　C. Repeated failure creates a better life. D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

　C

　The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read print newspapers. The kind of shopping-where you hand over notes and count out change in return?now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters，like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop. At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is increasingly abstracted. And this is more and more true, the higher up the scale you go. At the most cutting-edge retail stores?Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance?you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.

　Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction(抽象) of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit incredible that spending it should happen in half a blink(眨眼)of an eye? Doesn't a wallet?that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness?represent something that matters?

　But I'll leave the economics to the experts. What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet?the way the fastenings and materials wear and tear and loosen with age, the plastic and paper and gold and silver, and handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets?is the very opposite of what our world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and unknowable as pebble(鹅卵石). Instead of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners, we move our fingers left and right. No more counting out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have one. It may not be here much longer.

　28. What is happening to the wallet?

　A. It is disappearing. B. It is being fattened.

　C. It is becoming costly. D. It is changing in style.

　29. What makes the author feel uncomfortable nowadays?

　A. Saving money is becoming a thing of the past.

　B. The pleasing Friday-night feeling is fading.

　C. Earning money is getting more difficult.

　D. Spending money is so fast and easy.

　30. Why does the author choose to write about what's happening to the wallet?

　A. It represents a change in the modern world.

　B. It has something to do with everybody's life.

　C. It marks the end of a time-honoured tradition.

　D. It is the concern of contemporary economists.

　31. What can we infer from the passage about the author?

　A. He is resistant to social changes.

　B. He is against technological progress.
