D In modern society there is a great deal of argument about petition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that petition is bad。 that it sets one person against another。 that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeanddeath affairs. In their singleminded pursuit of success, the development, of many other human qualities is sadly fotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under petitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “ I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s selfrespect relies on how well one performs in parison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解 ) can we discover a new meaning in petition. 12. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up selfrespect. B. Opinions about petition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experiences in petition. 13. Why do some people favor petition according to the passage? A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty. C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts. 14. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _____. A. those who try their best to win B. those who value petition most highly C. those who are against petition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success 15. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competition should be encouraged. C. Winning should be a lifeanddeath matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in petition. 第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。 Do you know that over ten million American kids go to camp every summer? 16 Back then, before the air conditioner was invented, hot city summers were unfortable and even unhealthy for children, so escaping to the country for a few weeks became a popular trend.
