22、 For an entire decade, the award for Best FIFA Men’s Player of the Year was quite predictable: It either went to Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo or Argentina’s Lionel Messi. After all, they are the “legends” of soccer.
This year’s recipient, however, came as a surprise: Croatian player Luka Modric.
For those who aren’t soccer fans, Modric’s name is probably unfamiliar, mostly due to the fact that he rarely appears in TV commercials, and that he’s not a striker—things that apply to both Ronaldo and Messi—but a midfielder.
But Modric, 33, has certainly had a fruitful year. As a key member of Real Madrid, Modric helped the Spanish club win their third straight Champions League title in May. And as the captain of his national team of Croatia, Modric led the team to its first ever World Cup final in July.
And Modric’s hard childhood makes his achievements even more remarkable.
He grew up during the war following the break-up of Yugoslavia and the independence of Croatia. When he was 6, his grandfather was shot dead and his family had to live as refugees in a warzone. When playing soccer was an after-school hobby for kids of his age in other countries, it was an escape for Modric—he played soccer as a way to take his mind off the hardship his family was facing.
But it was this experience that gave Modric the mental toughness to push forward on his path to becoming one of the top soccer players in the world.
“The war made me stronger,” Modric told CNN. “We are not easy people to break. And there is a determination to show that, to show that we can succeed.”
It may be true that Modric wasn’t seen as a legend before. But by winning the Best Men’s Player award on Sept 24, he joined Ronaldo and Messi at the top of the list of the world’s best soccer players. And what could be more legendary than that? So, the man who defeated legends must be something even bigger.
【1】Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are mentioned in the passage to ________.
A.distinguish their differences B.show their contribution to soccer
C.highlight Modric’s achievements D.arouse the readers interest in soccer
【2】Why did Modric start playing soccer?
A.Playing soccer was his hobby. B.He wanted to help his family out of trouble.
C.Playing soccer was required by his school. D.He expected to forget his family’s tough situation.
【3】What can we learn about Modric from the passage?
A.He is captain of Real Madrid.
B.He often works as an advertising spokesperson.
C.He plays the same position as Cristiano Ronaldo.
D.He has made history for Croatia on the soccer field.
【4】What does the passage intend to tell us?
A.Where there is life, there is hope.
B.Hardship makes a determined person stronger.
C.Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
D.A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
23、 A new study published in the journal Educational Studies shows that the elementary school a child attends has almost no influence on their desire to progress to higher education.
The research was carried out by Josip Šabić and Boris Jokic at the Centre for Educational Research and Development of the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb, Croatia. The authors wanted to discover the main factors affecting pupils’ intention to continue to higher education as they reach the end of elementary school.
To find out children’s aims, they asked just over 1,000 pupils aged 14-15 at 23 elementary schools in Zagreb to complete three separate questionnaires during their last two years at elementary school. The researchers also obtained information on the pupils’ academic grades, as well as on the size of each school and its classes, the grade point average (GPA) for each school, and property prices in the area around each school as a measure of socioeconomic status.
The study revealed that none of the school-level factors, including school and class size, the GPA of the school and property prices, had any influence on the desire to continue to higher education. In contrast, several factors related to parents and home life, such as parental educational aspirations, maternal (母亲的) academic support and having a desk to work on, did have an influence. As did gender, with girls more likely than boys to want to continue to higher education. And while school-level factors didn’t have any influence, performance at school did: high academic grades were the single strongest predictor of a pupil’s desire to continue to higher education, while enjoying school was also an important factor.
“The major finding arising from the present study is that none of the school level variables used in our analysis contributes to the explanation of pupils’ aspirations (志向) for higher education,” said Josip Šabić. “Another important finding is that parents can influence their child’s aspirations by expressing their expectations regarding the child’s educational path and by providing the basic conditions for completing homework and learning.”
【1】What does the research focus on?
A．Where do pupils go for help in choosing college?
B．Who gives pupils more support to go to college?
C．What makes pupils choose to attend college?
D．Which do pupils like most in choosing further education?
【2】Which of the following do the researchers care least in designing the research?
A．Class sizes.
B．Family incomes.
C．Property prices.
D．Academic grades.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．The GPA of school blocks pupils from going to college.
B．Gender has little influence on choosing a college.
C．Decisions of parents make pupils choose what to do.
D．Pupils’ preference to their school is important.
【4】What does Josip Šabić stress in the last paragraph?
A．School level variables.
B．Financial support to pupils.
C．Parental academic supports.
D．Learning environments for pupils.
24、 For years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.
So what's the solution? Robots.
Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because it has fairly minimal patient contact.
A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Actroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around."
It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses, though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.
【1】What does the author say about Japan?
A.It ranks top in future robotics technology.
B.It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.
C.It is in desperate need of registered nurses.
D.It provides the best medication for the elderly.
【2】Which of the following best explains “implemented' underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.Cancelled. B.Constructed. C.Improved. D.Applied.
【3】What do we know about the robot Actroid F?
A.It has no difference from a human nurse.
B.It gets favorable remarks from all the patients.
C.It interacts with patients like a human companion.
D.It uses body language even more effectively than words.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Cooperation will not be replaced.
B.Nurses will still play their roles.
C.The robotics industry will be promising.
D.Robots can meet patients' immediate needs.
