26、What makes sports fun?

What makes organized sports fun for kids? A group at George Washington University (GW), led by Professor Amanda J. Visek, has been studying this question. The research is important because lots of kids give up playing sports around age 13 or 14.

The reason kids quit? 【1】 So if the group can figure out what makes sports fun, maybe more kids will play longer and develop better lifelong exercise habits.

First, the group brainstormed 81 things called "fun determinants" that can make sports fun. Then they asked the players aged 8 to 18 to assess how important each thing was to their enjoyment of playing organized sports. 【2】 The players ranked(排名) “winning” as only the 40th most important fun determinant. Unexpectedly, they ranked "trying your best," "exercising and being active" and “getting along with your teammates" in the top 10 most important fun determinants.

【3】 They also compared younger athletes with older athletes as well as recreational athletes and kids who play on travel teams. The recent study revealed (揭露) more surprises. Some people think girls like sports because they want to be with their friends, while boys like to compete. 【4】 It's true boys placed slightly more importance on "improving athletic skills to play at the next level," but for the most part, the study found male and female athletes’ answers were very close. 【5】 Although there were some differences between the groups -younger players, for example, like "playing different positions" more than older players-the groups shared lots of the same attitudes toward what makes sports fun.

A.The result was surprising

B.They say sports aren't fun anymore.

C.Boys and girls react differently toward sports.

D.Different groups have different opinions on fun determinants.

E.The group compared males' and females' attitudes on what makes sports fun.

F.The study, however, showed girls' and boys’ attitudes were more alike than different.

G.The same was true for younger and older players as well as recreational and travel athletes.

27、   Felicien, a 29-year-old African graduate student, smiled as he helped a woman use a ticket on her phone to enter the Summer Palace in Beijing. As a volunteer in the palace garden, Felicien is just one of many African students studying in China.

The China-Africa Cooperation Meeting was held in Beijing from Sept 3 to 4. On the meeting, Chinese President Xi Jinping promised to offer working training courses, 50,000 scholarships for African youths and invite 2,000 young African people to visit China. "The future of China-Africa relations lies in our young people," Xi said. He also said that China will provide $60 billion in support, including free aid and special funds, for Africa's development.

The friendship between China and Africa dates back 600 years to the travels of Chinese explorer Zheng He, whose ships reached East Africa four times. Zheng brought gifts to his African hosts and took back nothing but a few giraffes. Today, China sees Africa as an equal partner in development and in international and regional affairs. China has been Africa's largest trading partner for 9 years. Chinese investments in Africa have increased more than 100 times in the past 18 years. China and Africa have strengthened cooperation since 2013, with the tremendous help of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

"China follows the principle of giving more and taking less, giving before taking and giving without asking for return. With open arms, we welcome African countries aboard the train of China's development, Xi said. Xi's words received much praise from African leaders.

Indeed, "With goodwill and cooperation with Bejing, Africa can bring her wisdom on board, mix it to the Chinese Dream and jointly build a community of shared future for all mankind,", commented an expert

A.China helps Africa develop high-speed trains.

B.China welcomes African countries to invest in China.

C.China's development brings opportunities to Africa.

D.China gains nothing from China-Africa cooperation.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.China's Aids to African Countries B.African Students in China

C.China Sees Africa as Equal Competitor D.China's Bond with Africa

28、How to Learn a Foreign Language with Songs

Learning a new language can be really tough sometimes and not few people give up before they see any promising results.【1】.Follow these simple steps to get more fluent in no time!

【2】.When seeking materials,one tends to buy what is above one's personal language level.The sad truth is that this kind of material contains too many new words and grammar items,which will just lower your motivation.Therefore,it is very important to choose material that suits your level of knowledge and vocabulary.

Know the meaning of each single word.【3】.If you know what all the words in a song are supposed to mean,you can easily understand how the language works.Make sure to review this step,as it is easy to forget the meaning of the most unusual words.

Learn a song by heart.Have you ever had a school assignment to learn a poem by heart?Didn't you also get a deeper sense of understanding what the poet meant,after you learned it?【4】.Once you know a song by heart and have a rough understanding of its meaning,in theory,you just put 30 to 50 new words into your long-term memory.

Sing the song often during your day.And enjoy learning it!Learning a song should be fun and give you insight into a different culture,explain to you what people of different countries care to sing about.If it is just simple,but not your type of music,then your progress will also slow down.

But always remember:Songs won't teach you key phrases like"Hello"or"Goodbye".Make sure to learn them in advance when travelling to a foreign country.【5】

A.Know your level.

B.Choose good materials.

C.The same effect applies to music.

D.They will probably make up 90 percent of your initial conversation!

E.If you know the meaning of each word you can understand English fully.

F.This is especially important and sets you apart from normal fans and listeners of that foreign music.

G.Using songs to study is a great way to improve the vocabulary and the overall feeling for that language.

29、Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources. How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity of our earth.

Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear：man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?

Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.

At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.

【1】What does Wilson care most about？

A．The biodiversity of our earth.

B．The environment for plants.

C．The wastes of natural resources.

D．The importance of human values.

【2】How many species are most important to our present food supply?

A．Ten thousand.

B．One hundred.

C．Twenty.

D．Eighty.

【3】What does Wilson suggest to keep biodiversity?

A．Building homes for some dying species.

B．Using more species for food.

C．Learning how to farm scientifically.

D．Making it clear what to eat.

【4】What do you think the text is?

A．An introduction to a scientist.

B．A description of natural resources.

C．A research report.

D．A book review.

31、   A lifesaving traffic stop

Kemira had just jumped in the shower when her mother Tammy banged on the door. Kemira’s 12-day-old daughter was _______. Having fed baby Ryleigh just 30 minutes earlier, the new mother burst out of the bathroom and began patting her daughter _______ the back. Ryleigh was usually quick to cry. Now she didn’t make a _______, “I’d been told to raise their arms when babies are choking, so I tried that, but she still was _______ to breathe,” Kemira said later. She knew Ryleigh needed to get to the hospital fast.

The three had barely _______ it out of their neighborhood when the flashing lights of a police cruiser appeared behind them. Deputy Will Kimbro figured that the _______ driver was either too distracted to notice him or simply unconcerned. Kimbro soon found out it was a frightening _______ of the two.

Once she’d _______ to the curb (路边), a frantic Tammy jumped out of the car, exclaiming that her granddaughter had stopped breathing.

Desperate for help, Kemira handed the baby to Kimbro. He put a hand on her little _______. Ryleigh’s heart was barely beating.

Kimbro radioed for a(an) ________—it was seven minutes out, and the hospital was even further away. That was seven minutes Ryleigh didn’t have, her lips already an ominous shade of blue.

Luckily, Kimbro had recently completed a CPR class and knew ________ how to treat a baby. “Although I was ________, my training kicked in, and I went to work to keep that baby ________,” says Kimbro. He gave Ryleigh to Kemira to hold, his hands busy as he checked for a pulse. Then he began tapping and kneading (揉) Ryleigh’s chest, hoping to massage her heart back into action. Thanks to the CPR class, Kimbro knew the choking baby didn’t have a ________ if there was a blockage, and he used one finger to clear her airway (气道). That was the magic touch; 20 seconds later, Ryleigh began to fuss. Then came a whimper.

“If she’s crying like that, she’s breathing,” said Kimbro. The ________ was obvious in his trembling voice. “________ she’s crying, she’s breathing.”

But they still had five more minutes until medical service would arrive, and Kimbro worried that Ryleigh would choke again. He continued with delicate chest compressions and periodically clearing her airway.

In the body camera footage, Kimbro can be heard ________ Kemira, the approaching sirens wailing in the background: “I didn’t feel a heartbeat earlier, so I started massaging her heart and now I feel it. It’s real strong now.”

34、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.

And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.

The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

35、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

36、课文填空

Yet, some people are【1】 They claim that surfing the Internet is a waste of time. They make the 【2】 that children spend too much time chatting and playing games instead of 【3】 on their school work. However, a recent survey conducted in the USA shows that 80 per cent of Internet users 【4】 it mostly to search for answers to questions. The second most common use of the Internet, for 79 per cent of Internet users, is to find out information about hobbies. These statistics prove that gathering information is the 【5】 use for the Internet.

37、

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?

Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.

This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.

So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?

With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.

Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

Over the past few years, there has been a big increase in the number of people sharing information online. In this article we will learn about some positive factors for people to share information online.

We often share information with our friends in the office or at home to educate, entertain or pleasantly surprise them. In this way we can connect with others. This is also true while sharing information online. If you look at the Facebook wall posts of your friends, you will realize that most of their updates are usually famous quotes, entertaining videos, inspirational images, funny jokes, etc. 94% of those who responded to a survey by the New York Times said they put a lot of thought into how the content they are sharing will be beneficial to others.

A lot of people share information online to represent their true self to the outside world. Some people, especially those who are shy and not comfortable talking about their areas of interest in the presence of others, find it extremely convenient to share that information online with like-minded individuals.

78% of the respondents in the study of The New York Times said they shared information online because it helps them develop better relationships. Today, a lot of people do not have the time to meet each other in person and the Internet has become a great substitute. A lot of people now “meet” each other online, rather than in conventional places like restaurants and pubs.

Lastly, when we share our thoughts online, we are actively engaging with the vast community of people who are a part of the World Wide Web. Sharing information will make a difference to the viewpoint of others, or add to their understanding about the world.
