26、John,a very thin boy, loved football with all his heart when he was very young.Practice after practice,he eagerly gave everything he had.But being half the size of the other boys,he could only sit on the bench and hardly ever played in games.Even though the son was always on the bench,his father was always standing with cheers and encouraging him.
When John went to college,he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”.Everyone was sure he could never make the cut,but he did.The coach thought he could provide the other members with the spirit they needed.
The news that he had survived the cut excited him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father.His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games.
It was the end of this last football season.One day John received a telegram and asked one week off.Nobody knew what happened except the coach.The coach said,“Don't plan to come back to the game on Saturday.”
Saturday arrived,and the game was not going well:When the team was ten points behind,John came back.“Coach,please let me play.I’ve just got to play today,”said John.The coach pretended not to hear him.But John persisted,and finally feeling sorry for the kid,the coach gave in.
Before long everyone could not believe their eyes. John was doing everything to fight. The opposing team could not stop him. He ran, he passed and blocked like a star. And at last his team won the game.
After the game,John looked at the coach,with tears in his eyes,and said,“Well,you knew my dad died,but did you know that my dad was blind?'John swallowed hard and forced a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and I wanted to show him that I could do it.”
【1】Why did John hardly have any chance to play in games?
A.Because he had no time to practice.

27、There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can' t help putting on weight as they get older while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. 【1】
I’ ll never lose weight — I come from a fat family
Wrong. While we can'tchange the body type we are born with, we can't blame our genes for making us fat. There' s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.
【2】
Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism (新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately
Exercising is boring
Wrong! 【3】 The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that' s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain, no gain
Wrong!【4】Indeed, pain is your body telling you something' s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.【5】
A.Anything can be boring if you do it repetitively.
B.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.
C.If you don' t, rest and seek medical advice.
D.Exercise is not meant to hurt.
E.Here are more myths (false ideas).
F.People are fat because they consume too little energy.
G.I am fat because I burn calories slowly.
28、 You wait 50 years for a flying car,and then three come along at once.First up is Vahana:an airbus project to develop batterypowered,single- seater aircraft,designed to follow predetermined routes,only changing directions to avoid accidents.Propellers(螺旋桨)on the wings will let it take off and land without a runway.
Second,Dubai recently announced plans to use self-controlled air taxis as a way to beat the terrible traffic jams.The Volocopter is an electric multi-copter with 18 propellers and a fully self-controlled system.It’s essentially a self-controlled aircraft with two seats and up to 30 minutes of flying time.
But,if you want something more like the flying cars of 1950s science fiction,try Urban Aeronautics’ Fancraft.The Israel-based company wants to realize the dream of”an aircraft that looks like the classic vision of a flying car:doesn’t have a wing,doesn’t have a propeller that can be seen,and can fly exactly from point to point,”says Janina Frankel-Yoeli,Urban Aeronautics’ vice president of marketing.Earlier flying cars needed runways to take off and land which was,as Frankel-Yoeli says,”not much better than owning a car and an aircraft.”To go from point to point requires vertical take-off and landing,but for many years that could only be done by helicopters or larger aircraft.Urban Aeronautics’ solution is to use light but powerful engines,lightweight materials,and a self-controlled system.Their fan design-propellers housed in some special tubes-is powerful but unstable,so the Fancraft would be challenging for a human to fly without any help.Instead,computer-aided control technology takes over the tiny,quick changes required to keep the car stable at speeds of 160km/h or more.
But don’t be glad too early yet.The main problem to a sky full of flying cars is rules.Not only will every aircraft need to pass strict safety tests,but a new system of air traffic control will be needed to deal with 3-D traffic jams above people who are not aware of what is happening in the sky.NASA is already working on that.Tests have shown that multiple unmanned(无人的) flying cars can communicate with each other to avoid accidents.In the meantime,flying cars will mainly be reserved for emergency services and a few VIPs.
【1】Vahana is different from the Volocopter in that____
A.it is power-free
B.it is self controlled
C.its routes are fixed
D.its propellers can be seen
【2】The underlined word”vertical”in the third paragraph most probably means____
A.going straight up or down
B.flying high and fast
C.going across back or forth
D.flying quietly and safely
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.NASA helps flying cars to communicate.
B.There will be no traffic jams if cars can fly.
C.Rules for flying cars have already been made.
D.It is unusual for ordinary people to use flying cars.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.
Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.
However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.
“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.
Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”

I was lucky to have an interview with a famous international bank after graduation. I really appreciated this chance. So 1 spent a lot of time preparing very carefully I prepared for all the possible questions ahead. As a result, 1 got the job. While my classmates were still struggling to get a job, I had succeeded in getting one, which made me feel very proud of myself.
After one month of hard training, Today was my first day at work to show the results of the training. I got up as usual, but I decided to skip doing exercise as I did not want to take the risk of arriving at the office late on my first day. I went through my morning routine and spent a lot of time deciding what to wear. I definitely wanted to make a great impression right from the start. Finally, I settled on the white suit with a tie.
I waved to say goodbye to my mother and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But l Saw a bus leaving the stop just as I turned around the corner. Now I would have to wait for another 15 minutes, even though time was very precious. I stood there patiently. 15 minutes passed and then 30 minutes, and there was no sign of the bus. Now what could 1 do? I had to reach the office on time. I saw a motorcycle approaching, but as I tried to stop it, the driver sped on without even a glance. It was then that a car stopped near me and a man waved to me. He said, “Aren’t you working at the bank at Nariman Point? My office is in the same building. Can I give you a ride?”
I was uncertain at first but then forced myself to get in as I was going to be late. Gradually, I realized that we were not on the familiar route to my office. I asked the man to stop the car, but he did not listen to me and told me to shut up.
