D The Old Operating Theatre Museum.2. I'm sitting in my kitchen in London, trying to figure out a text message from my brother． He lives in our home country of Germany． We speak German to each other, a language that's rich in strange words, but I've never heard this one before: fremdschämen． The experience gets me to consider: can we lose our mother language? Most immigrants （移民）know what it's like to be not as good at their mother language as before． The process seems obvious: the longer you are away, the more your language suffers． But it's not quite so straightforward． It turns out that how long you've been away doesn't always matter． Socializing with other native speakers abroad can worsen your own native skills． And emotional factors like trauma（精神创伤） can be the biggest factor of all．In children, the phenomenon of language attrition （语言磨蚀）is somewhat easier to explain since their brains are generally more flexible and adaptable． Until the age of about 12, a person's language skills are relatively easy to change． Studies on international adopters have found that even nine﹣year﹣olds can almost completely forget their first language when they are removed from their country of birth．But in adults, the first language is unlikely to disappear entirely except in extreme circumstances． For example, Monika Schmid analyzed the German of elderly German﹣Jewish wartime refugees（难民） in the UK and the US． The main factor that influenced their language skills wasn't how long they had been abroad or how old they were when they left． It was how much trauma they had experienced as victims． Those who left Germany in the early days of Nazi occupation, before the worst violence, tended to speak better German ﹣ despite having been abroad the longest． Those who left later, tended to speak German with difficulty or not at all．"It seemed very clearly a result of this trauma", says Schmid． "Even though German was the language of childhood, home and family, it was also the language of painful memories"． The most traumatized refugees had held them back． As one of them said: "I feel that Germany betrayed me． America is my country, and English is my language．"（1）What does the first paragraph serve as？________A A commentB A backgroundC An explanationD An introduction．（2）What do paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about？________A How two languages coexistB The way to deal with adult's traumaC The reasons behind adult's language attrition．D Whether trauma leads to adult's language attrition．．（3）Why does trauma cause a person's mother language to disappear？________A Because he can't remember his mother language．B Because his ability to communicate is affected．C Because his country is far from him．D Because he chooses to escape from bad experiences．．（4）What is the best title for the passage？________A Where does your native language come from？B Will you lose your native language？C How does trauma affect your first language？D How far are you fromyour mother tongue．3. Homelessness is a big problem across the world． Many people and organizations are working to solve it． Mel Young from Scotland and Harald Schmied from Austria are two such people． In 2001, the two men attended an international conference about the problem of homelessness． Later, they began to wonder if football could help solve the problem． In 2003, they decided to start the Homeless World Cup organization． It chooses and trains local homeless people for the yearly football competition． Today, about 500 people from almost 50 countries play in the Homeless World Cup． And the program is changing lives．Damien is from Ireland． For many years, he struggled with drug（毒品）addiction． But in 2006, he played for Ireland's Homeless World Cup team, and since then, he has beendrug free!Many of the Homeless Word Cup players, like Damien, have struggled with drug addiction． However, some players are homeless because of poverty． Alex is one of them． He says, "I was born in Mathare, the biggest, worst slum （贫民窟） in Kenya． I could not find anything to eat． Also schooling was a problem． My life started when I started playing football．" Football gave Alex joy． It taught him to work hard and helpedhim believe that he could achieve something．Football can even help people who have experienced extreme tragedy． Najib, a young man from Afghanistan, has lived through much war． Many of his family members have died． But football has helped him survive． "It is only during the games that I do not think about my situation． I'm not interested in anything other than football and it's the only thing I ________, " Najib explains．Drugs, poverty and war are common causes of homelessness． Playing in a football competition may not directly treat drug addiction, solve poverty or end war, but it can give people emotional strength and help them learn important life skills．（1）What do we know about the Homeless World Cup？________A It is held every year．B It first took place in 2001．C It is the idea of two troubled football lovers．D It was introduced at an international conference．．（2）After playing in the Homeless World Cup， Alex________．A gave up taking drugsB began to live a rich lifeC got a good schooleducation D became confident about the future．（3）What does the underlined word "desire" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？________A RememberB WatchC WantD Create．（4）What would be the best title for this text？________A Football for everyoneB Last hope for the homelessC End homelessness from now onD Beat homelessness through football．4. Residents（居民） in the poorest areas in the U．S． face a life expectancy（平均寿命）up to decade shorter than those in the wealthiest areas, according to a study published inthe American Journal of Public Health．Researchers from East Tennessee State University wanted to better understand how socioeconomic status was associated with health outcomes． To find out, they divided the country's 3, 141 areas into 50 new "states" （with 2 percent of the areas in each） based on household income rather than on geography．The researchers broke down the data by county（郡，县） since they found state﹣level data may hide some "effect of socioeconomic differences on both the best﹣off and worst﹣off counties．" They then examined health data from the wealthiest and poorest "states" （top and bottom 2 percent） to see how residents differed on factors like smoking, clinical care and excessive（过多的） drinking． Researchers found that there was nearly a 10﹣year gap in the life expectancy of men with an average of 79.3 years in the wealthy counties compared to 69.8 years in the poorest． For women, the difference was slightly less: 83 years in the wealthiest counties and 76 years in the poorest．The study authors were cautious that while they found a connection between socioeconomic status and health outcomes, they did not analyze cause and effect． But they suggest that the data shows how policy makers should not just focus on state﹣wide initiatives （主动性） but more targeted efforts to help those most at risk． "With limited resources, methods of knowing the poorest areas exactly can be quite significant in the equal distribution （分配）of resources and programs to those communities that are in the greatest need, '' the study authors wrote．（1）How did Researchers divide the areas？________A By social statusB By incomeC By healthD By living places．（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3？________A The women difference is less than the man in life expectancy．B The wealthiest "state" like hiding their wealth．C Most health data is unbelievable．D Most poorest "state" smoke and drink a lot．．（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？________A The researchers think their study is perfect．B People still don't know the cause of life expectancy．C The government should learn something from thestudy． D The American resources distribution is not fair at all．．（4）What would be the best title for the passage？________A Ways to have a long life expectancyB Great income differences in the USAC The health problem in the USAD Men in richest 10 years longer in poorest．第二节（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选项．5. You may have grown up living with sisters and brothers，or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else．（1）_______ However，it can also be a great part of your college experience．Follow these tips to make sure you and your roommate keep things pleasant and supportive throughout the year．Be clear from the beginning．Maybe you hate it when someone interrupts you when you are sleeping every morning．Maybe you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up．（2）_______It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away，and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to get rid of problems before they become problems．（3）_______This may seem simple，but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflicts．Don't you think he'll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game？For all you know，you just stepped over an uncrossable line．Don't borrow，use，or take anything without getting permission first．Be open to change．You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school．（4）_______ As the term progresses，realize things will change for both of you．Be comfortable addressing things that unexpectedly come up，setting new rules，and being flexible to your changing environment．Follow the Golden Rule．（5）_______No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year，you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect．A．Respect your roommate's things．B．Let your roommate know about your preferences．C．Treat your roommate like you'd like to be treated．D．Living with a roommate is really a wonderful thing．E．Having a roommate surely has its challenges．F．You should correct your bad habits first．G．And the same should happen to your roommate，if all goes well．第二部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

A My Favourite Travel Books The Old Patagonian Express by Paul TherouxChoosing my favorite Paul Theroux book is like picking my favorite place in the world: It 'im s possible to settle on just one. But The Old Patagonian Express, which is about a train journey Theroux made from Boston , USA to southern Argentina, is right up there at the top of my list. Theroux has a wicked sense of humor. He brings so much wisdom and experience to his travels. Walden by Henry David ThoreauIf he were alive today, Thoreau would probably frown if he heard someone refer to Walden as a travel book. But I regard it as a travel-writing masterpiece. I went into the woods, he writes, because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not live d. That ' s the same spirit of discovery that defines so many great contemporary travel records.The Dharma Bums by Jack KerouacLike so many people, I fell in love with Kerouac ' s novels in my late teens and early 20s. On the Road gets the press, but I always love The Dharma Bums. Kerouac beautifully captures the romance of California trains, Berkeley, and backpacking in the Sierras. It ' s hard to read this book without wanting to leave for the mountains t brainstorm bad haikus on the trail and cook canned macaroni and cheese over a crackling campfire.Confucius Lives Next Door by T. R. ReidThis is sort of A Year in Provence in Japan, only the cross-cultural differences are much greater. Reid and his family moved to Tokyo when he became the chief for The Washington Post, enabling him to uncover truths about the country. Among the highlights are his observations about Japanese schools, including Yodobashi No. 6 Elementary School, where his daughters were greeted by the whole school staff.1. Which book enables readers to experience great cross-cultural differences?A. Confucius Lives Next Door.B. The Old Patagonian Express.D. Walden.C. On the Road.A. A strong desire to follow.B. A love for novels.C. A wish to learn cooking.D. An excitement to write poems.3. What is the feature of most modern travel books according to the author?A. Experience.B. Observation.C. Culture.D. Discovery.BMost students, when asked about their best graduation （毕业） gift, would probably reply, “ A car ” , or for a house ” . Cai Kaiyuan, 21, made a different choice. As a graduation gift to himself, he decided to work as a volunteer teacher in a distant village in Tibet.Cai, a student at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, at first planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. It turned out cycling on a plateau （高原） was quite difficult. And it has kept changing his opinion on life. Cai ' s hands even became painful while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. Little oxygen made him feel sick and weak. “ At the most serious moment, I felt that was on the line, Cai. ” saidare also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a volunteer in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked weak.It was not until he reached a family- run hotel in Shigatse that Cai' s spirits began to rise. The hotel managertwo daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautif ul local lakes. “ Theytold me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin, ” he said, “ Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”Cai was moved by the girls' story. Their situation is worse and the locoapl lpeehave little chance to learnMandarin because the schools are short of teacher. “ 1 want to do something to improve the situation for kids likthem, ” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him. 4. What is Cai Ka iyuan ' s graduatiognift?A. Cycling from Sichuan to Tibet.C. Being a volunteer teacher in a Tibetan school. 5. What is Cai Kaiyuan' s journey to lTikibe?etA. Special and comfortable. C. Relaxing but unexpected.6.

They appear on restaura nt menus, milk boxes and bags of baby carrots.Grocery stores display lots of foods packaged with bright and colorful -calorie ” claims. “ lowA calorie is the measure of stored en ergy in somethi ng---e nergy that can be released as heat whe n bur ned. The term calorie on food labels is short for kilocalorie. A kilocalorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. But what does boiling water have to do with your body ' s release of en ergy from food? After all, your body does n t boili ng after es t arg. It does, however, chemicallybreak dow n food into sugars. The body the n releases the en ergy to fuel processes and activities throughout each hour of the day.Food contains three main types of nutrients that deliver energy: fats, proteins and carbs（碳水化合物）.A process called metabolism（新陈代谢）first cuts these into small pieces; Proteins break down into amino acids（氨基酸）,fats into fatty acids and carbs into simple sugars. Then, the body uses oxyge n to break dow n these materials to release heat.Most of this en ergy goes toward poweri ng the heart, lun gs, brain and other vital processes. Exercise and other activities also use energy. If energy- rich nutrients aren ' t used right away, your bodyawlilthem---first in theliver（肝脏）,and then later as body fat.In gen eral, some one should eat the same amount of en ergy each day as his or her body will use. If the bala neeis off, they will win lose or gain weight. It ' s very easy to eat more calories than the body need-s. Having two 2calorie donuts in additi on to regular meals could easily put tee ns over their daily n eeds. At the same time, it ' n early impossible to balance overeating with extra exercise. Running a mile burns just 100 calories. Knowing how many calories are in the food we eat can help keep the en ergy in and out bala need.8. How much energy does it need to lift the temperature of 5 kilograms of water by 10 degree Celsius?A. One kilocalorie.B. Five kilocalories.C. Ten kilocalories.D. Fifty kilocalories.9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. How the nu trie nts are classified.B. How oxyge n works in huma n body.D. How the body gets heat from nu trie nts.C. How the food types affect metabolism.10. What does the underlined word “ hoard ” in Pme a g/aph 4A. Store.B. Remove.C. Replace.D. Burn.11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It is good for our health to do exercises.B. It ' s really difficult to control ourweight.C. It is important to control the calories we take.D. It is good for our body to eat the same type of nutrients.DHe wrote that the “ human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants （刺激物）” .And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.Researchers at the Un iversity of Liverpool found the writi ng of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like hada ben eficial effect on the mi nd, mak ing it active and excited by catch ing the reader ' s atte nti on armoments of self-reflection.Usi ng sca nn ers, they moni tored the brain activity of volun teers as they read pieces of classical En glish literatureboth in their origi nal form and in a modern tran slati on. And accord ing to the Sun day Telegraph, the experime nt showed the more challe nging writi ng and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain tha n the simplereadi ngs.The research also found poetry, in particular, in creased activity in the right brai n, an area concerned with“ autobiographical memory ” , which helped the readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.The brain resp on ses of 30 volun teers were mon itored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespearein its origi nal and moder n form. I n one example, volun teer s read a line from King Lear, “ A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded ” , before reading the simpler, “ A father and a gracious aged man: him you henraged "Shakespeare 'us© of the adjective “ mad"as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward version.The next part of the research is look ing at the exte nt to which poetry can affect psychology and provide ben efit.

2018-2019学年第二学期期末模拟试卷高二英语（考试时间：90分钟试卷满分：120分）测试范围：人教选修8 Unit 1 – Unit 2。

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AFemale Scientists Who Have Changed the WorldThere are still hundreds of relatively-unknown women who have changed the world with their research throughout history.Tiera GuinnThis 21-year-old scientist hasn’t yet graduated from college, but Tiera Guinn’s already doing rocket science. The MIT(麻省理工学院) senior is helping build a rocket for the United States that could be one of the biggest and most powerful ever made. She’s an aerospace major with high credit points who also works as a Rocket Structural Design and Analysis Engineer for the Space Launch System that aerospace company Boeing is building for the US.Elizabeth BlackwellElizabeth Blackwell, who was born in Bristol, England in 1821, was the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States, became an activist for poor American women’s health, and went on to found a medical school for women in England.Jane GoodallThe most famous primate(灵长目) scientist in history, Jane Goodall was known for her work with chimps and as a champion of animal rights. And Goodall wasn’t just working in a lab; she climbed trees and imitated the behavior of chimps in Tanzania to gain their trust and study them in their natural habitat.Rachel CarsonIn the 1960s, one environmental scientist’s voice rose above the rest to become central to American politics, culture, and foreign policy: Rachel Carson’s. Her article, ＂Silent Spring,＂warned of the dangers of pesticides(农药) and chemicals to humans, plants, and animals, and was a landmark in the nation’s environmental history.1. What is Tiera Guinn’s greatest achievement?A. She entered the best university of the world.B. She has been learning the newest rocket science.C. She has helped build a big and powerful rocket.D. She is a top student employed by a famous company.2. What is Elizabeth Blackwell famous for in history?A. She was the first woman with the advanced education.B. She was a pioneer of the women’s health in the US and the UK.C. She found the first women’s school in the United Kingdom.D. She was the first woman to be accepted as an American citizen.3. Who made a great contribution to the animal-protection movement?A. Tiera Guinn.B. Jane Goodall.C. Rachel Carson.D. Elizabeth Blackwell.BV olunteering abroad comes with a bit of a social stigma (耻辱). From my experience, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Volunteering isn’t so expensive that it’s only a choice for the well-off. I spent 10 weeks volunteering in Arizona with America Conservation Experience(ACE), helping preserve America’s natural beauty.The trip was arranged through BUNAC, a work and volunteer organization. In all it cost me around $ 1,000 —a sum which I covered mostly by working part-time.The self-indulgent（放纵自己的）image is relevant to overseas volunteer projects.However, the work can be hard-going. I spent my time maintaining trails, building fences and carrying out projects in some of the national monuments of America. Summer temperatures in Arizona stay well above 35℃, never pleasant if you’re carrying 50kg of c oncrete for 10 hours at a time. And then there was the wildlife to deal with, which improved my strength of character and made my fear of the English household spider disappear.What do most people volunteer for? Probably they want to give back things to the world. But in reality, you benefit just as much as the local communities and ecosystems you’re helping.Spending 10 weeks in America’s most beautiful national parks and forests was unforgettable. I gained a far deeper understanding of the local environment than the average tourist, meeting ex-national park rangers(护林者) who knew perfectly of the area’s history and ecosystem. But best of all, my 10 weeks were spent volunteering with young people from a mix of cultures — from Belgians to South Koreans. When I left Arizona, I returned home having made a life-long bond with the people from around the world.4. From his experience, the author has realized ______________.A. volunteering abroad gives you a bit of social stigmaB. people with average income can do volunteering work abroadC. volunteering can help preserve natural beautyD. volunteering will teach you how to find the truth5. How did the author afford his trip?A. With the help of BUNAC.B. With the support of America Conservation Experience.C. By working for BUNAC.D. By doing part-time jobs.6. While volunteering abroad, the author___________.A. lived in pleasant temperatures in ArizonaB. built national monuments in AmericaC. in fact benefited a lotD. mainly intended to give back things to the world7. What’s the best part of doing volunteering work abroad for the author?A. Building up his strength.B. Overcoming the fear of wildlife.C. Having an understanding of the ecosystem.D. Making the acquaintance with the people from different backgrounds.CIn American culture, the commitment to spend time with someone is more important than anything else that might happen. Americans go to great lengths to keep their commitments. Even if their mother called them on the phone, they would say, "Oh, Mom, I can only talk a few minutes, because I'm meeting a friend for lunch. Can I call you back when I get home?" Their mother would not take offense at this, because their pre-existing plans take precedence over all others.If you make plans with someone, you should be there when you say you will. Three to five minutes early is even better, because it shows that you are really looking forward to spending time with the other person. Most people will allow five or maybe ten minutes late, but more than that is considered bad form. Not showing up at all is considered very rude and, unless you have a very good reason, the other person may never want to make plans with you again.Be continually late or do not show up for dates, and you will get a reputation as someone who does not keep your word. People will consider you a liar and someone not to be trusted, and will not want to be your friend or may not want to do business with you. Being late or not showing up is interpreted as meaning that you never wanted to go out with the person in the first place, and will cause hard feelings.The rule to remember is: show up a few minutes early or on time. If you must be late, phone the other person at once and explain why. Do not be late repeatedly, and never stand someone up unless you absolutely cannot avoid it.8. What is the author's purpose in using the mother's example?A. To prove Americans place a high value on promises.B. To advise mothers to respect their children's choices.C. To appeal to people to keep more company for parents.D. To emphasize the importance of keeping commitments.9. When would be better for you to arrive if you make an appointment to date at 7:50?A. Ten past seven o’clock.B. Ten to seven o’clock.C. A quarter to eight o’clock.D. A quarter past eight o’clock.10. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?A. Keep someone wait long.B. Fail to keep an appointment.C. Stand by someone’s promise.D. Put up with someone being late.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Americans, Keeping commitments.B. Americans, Making Plans Ahead.C. Ways to Make One’s Commitments.D. Do You Keep Your Mother Waiting?DDogs, unlike people, are capable of pure love—at least according to Freud. As more Americans live alone, unconditional affection is in demand. Pet ownership has risen for decades. More than a third of homes have at least one dog, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.But the popularity of four-legged friends has an unpleasant cost: dogs squeeze out more than twice the waste of the average person, or around 275 pounds a year. With over 83,000,000 dogs running around the country, that is a lot of waste.Around 60% of the stuff gets collected and trucked to landfills, where it releases methane, a greenhouse gas. The rest delivers surprises to pedestrians and can pollute waterways.The problem is particularly bad in cities, where green spaces are few and lonely souls seeking puppy love plentiful. There are over 600,000 dogs in New York—one for every 14 people—generating over100,000 tons of turd (粪便) a year.This is a missed opportunity, says Ron Gonen, the city’s former recycling tsar(掌权者).Now in the private sector, he is trying to launch "Sparky Power", a programme to transform dog waste into clean energy in the city’s dog parks.The idea is to fit parks with small anacrobic digesters(厌氧分解池). Dog owners would place their dogs’ turd into the machine, which then turns turd into gas for powering lamps and other park equipment. A year-long pilot would introduce digesters in three parks at a cost of around $ 100,000,000. The parks department is thinking about the proposal.Similar schemes in other cities have proved short-lived. An underground Energy Transformation Using Reactive Digestion (E- TURD) device created by Arizona State University students for a dog park in Gilbert, Arizona, in 2012 finally failed."It’s great to turn it into a biofuel, but first you gotta pick it up," says Tom Boyd, an entrepreneur in Tennessee. His company, Poo Prints, shames the owners of dogs who fail to clean up their messes by testing DNA in uncollected turd.12. What does the underlined part "The problem" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Lots of people feel lonely.B. Pet dogs produce a lot of waste.C. There are very limited green spaces.D. The greenhouse effect is getting serious.13. What do we know about the programme "Sparky Power"?A. It is about recycling household waste.B. It is operated by the local government.C. It aims to produce power from dog waste.D. It aims to clean parks with renewable energy.14. So far the program "Sparky Power" _________.A. has just startedB.is a great successC. has ended in failureD.is still under consideration15. What is the purpose of the company Poo Prints?A. To make good use of dog waste.B. To help people look for their dogs.C. To reduce the number of dog owners.D. To push peopl e to pick up their dogs’ waste.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。

The store is famous for a huge pendulum(钟摆) hanging from its ceiling.Stanfords, London and Bristol, EnglandEstablished in 1853, Stanfords boasts(自夸) that it offers the world's largest selection of travel books and maps. It also sells travel accessories. Look for the enormous National Geographic Map of the World in the flagship store in London; it was created in 2003 to celebrate the store's 150th birthday.Rizzoli, New York City, New YorkFor almost a half century, Rizzoli has been considered one of the best independent bookstores in the U.S. It specializes in illustrated(带插图的) books about fashion, photography, decoration design, cooking, architecture and other subjects, along with Italian, Spanish, French and English literature.

What main subject are books in Rizzoli about?A. History.B. Cartoon.C. Lifestyle.D. Literature.BAs the parent of two teenagers who have played multiple sports over the years, I’ve seen the good, the bad, the ugly and the absolutely cruel. I realize However, when I think about the value of sports and why my kids continue to play sports teach kids lessons to become successful adults. Through sports, kids learn how to work in teams, how to take risk, how to challenge themselves to be better, and how to behave when they lose—and when they win.Whether kids play soccer, baseball, football, or cheer, they learn they are part of a team where one person depends on another. When my son plays baseball, he’s not the only one who needs to play well; he depends on his defense to make the plays in the field. When my daughter plays tennis, she depends on her partner to cut off the ball at the net and win the point, and the tennis team depends on each person in order to win the overall match. Sports also teach children to trust and respect the decisions of someone who understands how the entire team needs to work in order to succeed.Sadly, though, youth sports have suffered from the “winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing” attitude. They have become too much of a reflection of professional sports. Winning is a happy result, but the lessons from losing are even more important. When my daughter loses tennis match, her coach reminds her that you learn more from losing than from winning. Losing makes you focus on improving your skills and your strategy. We’re going to learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.I believe that participating in youth sports is much more than building a sound body winning a scholarship to college. Sports are the best way to shape and build more self-motivate and happier children and help them become more self-motivated and happier adults.4. What is the authors attitude to youth sports?A. Critical.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. What sports the author’s kids take.B. What the authors kids do in sports.C. How sports benefit the authors kids.D. How the authors kids continue to play sports.6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Teenagers don’t ha ve to win every time.B. Winning is the only goal for teen players.C. Teenagers should work together to succeed.D. Winning is not the most important in sports.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Youth Sports Build Better AdultsB. Teenagers Suffer from Youth SportsC. Losing Brings More than Winning DoesD. Teenagers Perform Better than Adults in SportsCWe want to share a surprising new finding: People like getting thank you notes.OK, it’s not that surprising. But what did surprise two psychologist as they attempted to get to bottom of why so few people actually send thank-you notes is that many people totally miscalculate(错误估计) the effect of an appreciative email. They underestimate（低估） the positive feelings it will bring. They also overestimate how insincere the note may appear and how uncomfortable it will make the recipient （接受者） feel, their study found. But after receiving thank-you notes and fillingout questionnaires about how it felt to get them, many said they were "ecstatic," scoring the happiness rating at 4 of 5. The senders typically guessed they’d score a 3.The 100 or so participants in each of the four experiments were asked to write a short "gratitude letter" to a person who had affected them in some way. The letters included appreciation to fellow students and friends who offered guidance through the college admissions process, job searches and tough times. In lab experiments, it took most subjects less than five minutes to write the letters.Numerous studies had documented a range of benefits to individuals who express gratitude, so then the question researchers turned to was —what’s holding people back? Along with underestimating the value of sending a note to another person, many seemed to be concerned with how much their writing would be read carefully.As it turned out, most recipients didn’t care how the note s were phrased, they cared about warmth, researchers found. Participants were also judged to be abler at writing than they expected. The study found that many subjects were concerned that recipients would feel awkward upon receiving the compliment-filled(充满恭维的) letters, which r ecipients rarely did. Wouldn’t those concerns deepen without a good excuse for sending it? Perhaps. But that should not undermine the broader finding: People tend to undervalue the positive effect they can have on others for a tiny investment of time.8. What is the main purpose of the study?A. To revalue the proper influences of thank-you notes.B. To research the right ways to write appreciative emails.C. To study the reasons people like getting thank-you notes.D. To find why most people won’t write to express gratitude.9. What can we infer about participants of the experiments from paragraph 3?A. They are retired people.B. They are mostly students.C. They are college professors.D. They are white-collar workers.10. Which of the following best explains "ecstatic" underlined in paragraph 2？A. Relieved.B. Indifferent.C. Overjoyed.D. Embarrassed.11. What stops most people from writing thank-you notes?A. It takes too long to write such letters.B. They have trouble phrasing the letters.C. They think nobody will read the letters.D. They don’t know how to express gratitude.DNowadays, social media like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter are becoming increasingly popular. People have completely made social media part of their daily lives. As a result, many people have developed an Internet personality.The Internet personality I am talking about is the one we shape on our social media sites. We are always posting information about ourselves for other people to know even when it can be completely untrue. Some people even go so far as to spend money in buying flowers or “likes” or buying a very expensive camera for their friends to take photos of them. I find it unbelievable. The time and energy spent on these silly things can only make us want to be accepted by more people.Social media are also a modern cause of depression: People see the perfect lives of others and consider their own imperfect lives as bad. Even kids deal with this. The y don’t realize that the reason why they struggle to love themselves is that they spend all day receiving untrue information.I find that many people spend more time and energy in making sure that their online personality is worth accepting than caring for their real presence. So many times I have seen confident and beautiful girls on social media. But in the real world, they are extremely shy. They hardly talk to anyone and spend all their time using the phone.Social media have gone so far as to even negatively affect marriages. This is because of the fact that there are now “Instagram husbands”—people whose use is to take perfect photos of their partners throughout the day. They spend a lot of timedoing that whether they like it or not. Needless to say, social media likely influence relationships in a negative way.I think everyone should not use social media at least for a few months to experience the difference it makes to them. They may find life is very different and much better.12. What does “the Internet personality” in the passage refer to?A. The hope to develop a better personality.B.
