四川省阶段招生适应性考试英语试卷

A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background, a young girl reads a rejection (拒绝) letter from a ballet school. You have the wrong body for ballet, 'it says,' and at thirteen, you are too old. This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American ballet Theatre's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.

This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three. Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type (She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo (单独的) performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer.

Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also stars in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale. So what's next? According to Copeland, anything is possible: "My career (职业) really is just now beginning.'

1.How old was Copeland when she became the principal dancer?

A. 13

B. 14

C. 25

D. 33

2.Why was it difficult for Copeland to attend ballet classes?

A. Because her family moved a lot.

B. Because she was not a good dancer.

C. Because she had no invitation letter.

D. Because she had the wrong body type.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Copeland became successful because of the advertisement.

B. Copeland had to spend a lot of time away from her parents.

C. Copeland won her first national competition as a solo performer.

D. Copeland has ended up her career as an actress on Broadway.

4.What's the writer’s opinion of Copeland?

A. Copeland sets an example who never gives up.

B. Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen.

C. Copeland has made her achievements by accident.

D. Copeland was lucky to get support from the ballet school.

阅读下面短文并回答问题（请注意词数要求）。

A little stream(小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly vanishing(消失)into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If wind can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because the wind can fly, but I can’t.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate(蒸发)into the wind and it can take you across me,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. “The wind can carry the vapor(蒸汽)across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” After hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the wind. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

1.Did the little stream want to reach the ocean or the desert at last?（No more than 2words）

____________________________________________

2.Was the little stream able to cross the desert at first?（No more than 3words）
