21、At the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, Halfway in the women’s slalom(障碍滑雪)race, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin took a commanding lead over the greatest women’s slalom skiers in the world. On her final run, she burst from the start house at a breakneck speed, snaking around the poles in crazy rhythm.
Skiing has always been a significant part of Mikaela’s life. Her mom raced and coached skiing and her dad ski raced all through college. The Shiffrins taught Mikaela and her brother, Taylor, to ski at a very young age. At the age of two and a half, Mikaela made her first ski run on plastic skis. From ages 8 to 11, she worked hard, practicing hundreds of training runs on small hills repeatedly to develop the correct techniques of slalom skiing.
When Mikaela was 11, she attended the Burke Mountain Academy, a Vermont boarding school for skiers. She took classes, studied, and practiced her skiing crazily. According to Kirk Dwyer, Burke Mountain Academy headmaster, “It was the degree of Mikaela’s effort to be the best that distinguished her from others. Her commitment to conditioning, having proper sleep, eating correctly, doing the drills, and watching video was unusual for an 11 to 13-year-old. Mikaela practiced more than anyone and believed in herself then and now.”
By the time she was 17, she had already won her first World Cup race.
Working hard is a full-time job for Mikaela. Even her off-season is work time. In the summer, when Mikaela is off the ski slopes and in the gym, her daily training consists of six to seven hours of weight lifting, swimming, and biking to improve her core strength and flexibility. She does all of this so that she can dash down slopes at speeds topping 50 miles per hour while cutting back and forth around gates with astonishing precision.
“If you have passion for your targets, whatever they are,” she says, “the sky is the limit. Give it your all!”
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A．Mikaela came from a skiing family.
B．Mikaela’s mother taught her to ski first.
C．Mikaela trained harder than her brother.
D．Mikaela’s father coached skiing in colleges.

C．To praise the good students in his school.
D．To highlight Mikaela’s great devotion to training.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Mikaela?

B．Creative and determined.

D．Committed and self-disciplined.
【4】What does Mikaela Shiffrin’s story convey?

D．Actions speak louder than words.
22、 Adults with a poor education are also likely to have poor health, a growing body of evidence suggests. Study after study has confirmed the link, and now experts are zeroing in on the reasons for it and what can be done. “Persons with a higher education tend to have better jobs, and better income, better benefits,” said David R. Williams, a professor of public health in America.
Those benefits, he said, go beyond health benefits to include such other factors as having the flexibility to take a day off or part of a day to see a doctor. “People with higher levels of education tend to have more resources to cope with stress and life,” Williams said. They have stress, of course, but also more resources to cope with it — such as access to a health club to exercise away the stress — than people with less education, he said.
“Being better educated also means that a person is more likely to understand the world of modern medicine,” said Erik Angner, an assistant professor of philosophy and economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has researched the link between education and happiness. “Modem medicine is incredibly complex. And if you lack the basic reading skills required to function adequately in the health-care environment, you might find it harder to effectively understand your medical care.”
A report issued by Williams’ commission found that, compared with college graduates, adults who did not graduate from high school were 2.5 times as likely to be less than very good health. The report suggested that factors outside the medical system play an important role in determining people’s health. Access to medical care is crucial, but it isn’t enough to improve health. What’s needed, they suggested, is increased focus on schools and education — encouraging people to obtain more education.
【1】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Poor Education May Lead to Poor Health
B．Higher Education Can Bring More Income
C．Happiness Comes from Good Education
D．Medical Care Safeguards Good Health
【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Resources to deal with life.
B．Ways to exercise away stress.
C．Factors concerning a higher education.
D．Benefits related to a higher education.
【3】What can we learn from Angner’s words?
A．Better education means understanding the world better.
B．Modem medicine world is too difficult to understand.
C．People with a good education may be happier.
D．Reading skills help in understanding medical care.
【4】What is stressed in the report issued by Williams’ commission?
A．Adults are less likely to have good health.
B．The medical system determines people’s health.
C．More education is needed to improve health.
D．More access to medical care is important.
23、 I’m racing on the 1,500-metre track (跑道) with my friend, Mary. I’m tired and my throat is giving me much pain. I want to stop but a voice repeating in my head keeps me running: “No one knows what the result will be. Everything is still possible.” Today, I have to fight with myself.
Nine years ago, when I was a 6-year-old girl, my mother took me on a trip. We went to the foot of a high mountain which she told me that we would climb. I had never done this before and the thought of it made me very happy.
At the beginning, I climbed fast. But half an hour later, when I was thirsty and tired, I just stopped and sat upon the ground , completely silent. My mom came and sat next to me.
She said, “Get up and go on!”
Almost shouting, and with tears in my eyes, I replied, “No, I don’t want to do this. It’s too tiring and I am thirsty. I don’t like it. I want to go back home now.”
Patiently she explained, “Listen, my dear. If you try your best, anything is possible. If you don’t try, your dreams will never come true. However hard the task is, we must finish it. You will never know how beautiful the scenery looks unless you reach the top of the mountain.”
Hearing her words, I stopped crying and started to climb again. Finally I made it; I did reach the top of the mountain and enjoyed the glorious view.
Today I’m on the racing track. I’m going to keep running because I know its always worthwhile (值得做的) to finish.
And in the end I managed it; I got through the finish line. Although it was really difficult and I did not win, I did make it. As former Indian President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam (1931-2015) said, “Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined (命定的) place — that is, the unique you.”

26、阅读下面短文。根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Megan always felt slightly frightened babysitting at the Quinns’ house. It was at the end of the road, and the yard was filled with so many trees that she couldn’t see any of the neighbors’ lights.
On this particular night, the snow was coming down in swirls. After the girls fell asleep, Megan settled on the sofa to watch an old movie. Around ten o’clock, she heard wheels on the driveway. She walked to the front door. Her hand was on the door handle, just about to turn it, when a loud knock startled her.
Megan’s hand froze. She spied through the peephole and saw a middle-aged man standing in the entryway.
“Who is it?” she asked.
“Ben.”
“Ben who?”
“Your brother Ben.”
Megan realized the man had mistaken her for his sister. She replied, “Mrs. Quinn can’t come to the door right now.”
“Ask if Ben can come in.”
Her mother had always warned her: Never open the door for a stranger while you’re babysitting.
“Go over to the window,” Megan said. The man stepped forward between the bushes. “The truth is I’m babysitting,” she said through the screen. Then she remembered her mother’s second warning: Don’t advertise that you are alone. Megan quickly added, “Mrs. Quinn will be home soon.”
He rubbed his palms together. “It’s awfully cold out here. Can I wait inside?” The man smiled. “Please let me in. I promise I won ‘t bother you.”
But it bothered Megan to spend the rest of her night here with a stranger. How could she be sure he was telling the truth?“ Mrs. Quinn didn’t say anything about you dropping by tonight.”
“That’s because she didn’t know I was coming. I was planning to surprise her on her birthday.”
Her birthday? But Megan hadn’t seen any birthday cards lying around, or wrapping paper. Her heart raced. She remembered the emergency number Mrs. Quinn left her, so she said, “I’ll call her and see what she says.”
The smile disappeared from the man’s face. “You’re going to leave me outside to freeze to death in the meantime? Wait until she finds out you wouldn’t let me in!” he yelled. “You’ll be in so much trouble!”
