To Be Lucky，Be Prepared

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.

I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sports, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 21 . There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 22 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 23 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining.” or “It was snowing.” It makes 24 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

On our team were two world champions: one of them had been world champion five times. We 25 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 26 the name of John.

John had never been 27 in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 28 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.

One day, we 29 a match with our biggest opponent (对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 30 . He rolled over, and his opponent 31 him halfway through his roll. He was pinned 32 !

The match was over.

I remember on the bus on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 33 John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” And John said, “That’s so stupid. The opportunity presented itself, 34 he exploited it.”

We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room that the coach had 35 there. “Luck is what happens when opportunity 36 preparation.”

John’s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity. The probability of 37 John was not strong, and he knew it. But he paid attention to the 38 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.

In other words, the real 39 is Be Prepared. It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to 40 it.

21. A. luck B. risk C. difficulty D. opportunity

22. A. accuse B. blame C. doubt D. keep

23. A. stress B. injury C. weather D. standard

24. A. judgement B. progress C. sense D. way

25. A. also B. even C. only D. once

26. A. under B. for C. in D. by

27. A. hurt B. chosen C. trained D. defeated

28. A. although B. because C. unless D. until

29. A. went for B. waited for C. fought for D. played for

30. A. sign B. step C. task D. move

31. A. fixed B. threw C. caught D. carried

32. A. accidentally B. fortunately C. unfairly D. instantly

33. A. calm B. comfort C. convince D. forgive

34. A. so B. or C. and D. but

35. A. set B. put C. left D. used

36. A. meets B. suits C. gets D. fits

第二部分：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)

第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels (控制板) on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.

Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.

According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.

The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw ＄100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring .

41. In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway .

A. is too expensive to build at present

B. costs no more money than current roads

C. can provide as many data as present computers

D. will bring them a large sum of money

42. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to .

A. the panels B. the inventors C. the researchers D. the vehicles

43. The Solar Roadway includes all the following advantages except .

A. providing safer driving conditions

B. helping drivers communicate with each other while driving

C. creating and carrying clean renewable electricity

D. warning drivers of various speed control problems

44. It can be inferred from the text that .

A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into use

B. ＄100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot

C. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars

D. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere

45. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Solar-powered smart road of the future

B. The great changes on the roadway

C. The influence the Solar Roadway has on people

D. The Solar Road—a much faster road
