24、
Training is over for the day, but one Boston Celtics basketball team coach is still working. Assistant coach Kara Lawson is on the team's court helping new player Carsen Edwards improve his game. He gets the ball into the basket several times and then runs over to her. “Thanks coach” Edwards says before exchanging a high-five with Lawson.
Lawson is one of a record high 11 women serving as assistant coaches among the 30 NBA teams.
“It's not a fad (一时风潮),” said former professional basketball player Nancy Lieberman. “It's opportunities going to very accomplished women who have given their life to the game.” Lieberman herself has broken down barriers as a player, as a coach in the WNBA, as head coach in an NBA minor league and as an assistant in the NBA. She says she quickly learned that building relationships was critical to easing gender (性别) barriers in the organization.
Players respect the women assistant coaches for their experience and knowledge of the game. Kara Lawson was a basketball star at the University of Tennessee and later won a WNBA championship with the Sacramento Monarchs. She also won a gold medal with the U.S women's basketball team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China. She retired from play in 2015. Earlier this year, she joined the Celtics as a coach.
One female assistant coach, Kristi Toliver, does double duty. She plays for the WNBA'S Washington Mystics. She also serves as an assistant coach to the NBA'S Washington Wizards team. “The biggest thing learned is to share your voice and what you’ve learned,” Toliver said. “Doing that has helped me communicate with my guys.”
Along with the record number of female assistants, five female referees (裁判) will be working NBA games this season. It's believed the NBA will soon have its first female head coach. Such a move would go a long way toward putting even more women in position to make decisions in the sport.
【1】What's the relationship between Carsen Edwards and Kara Lawson?
A.Player and coach. B.Student and teacher. C.Son and mother. D.Brother and sister.
【2】The underlined word “barriers” in Paragraph 3 means________ in English.
A.pieces of hard or unpleasant work that has to be done
B.things that prevent or control progress or movement
C.quicker ways of doing something in order to save time or effort
D.abilities to control your fear in a dangerous or difficult situation
【3】The best title for this passage is________.
A.The more you know WNBA B.A woman assistant coach
C.Women work better than before D.Women serving as assistant coaches
【4】The women assistant coaches win the hearts of players for their________.
A.two roles of both a player and a coach
B.experience and knowledge of the games
C.kindness and being members at the Olympics
D.communication and positions to make speeches to the games
25、 As we age, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not everyone. Some of us are super-agers, who are over the age of 80 and have the brain of much younger people.
Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But in super-agers that goes much slower. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thicker in super-agers. “When we look at a super-ager’s brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one.”
Scientists say super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle. Many travel and play sports. They are often big readers. And they usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and sad. Perhaps, if we expect a little better from ourselves, we will understand that not all aging makes us doom and gloom (愁闷).” Rogalski jokingly said that super-agers do not grow on trees — meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well and not aging as quickly as most.
The science behind super-aging is a new, but growing field. Scientists in the research offer this advice as we age: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.
【1】In Emily Rogalski's recent study, what does she find?
A.When people get older, the ability to think and remember starts to become worse.
B.Super-agers have nothing in common with each other.
C.Super-ager’s brain looks younger that it really is.
D.The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thinner in super-agers.
【2】Where will you probably read this article?
A.In a math book.
B.In a love story.
C.In a health research report.
D.In a sports magazine.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Scientists haven’t found out all the secrets to super-aging.
B.Super-agers have several things in common, including an active lifestyle.
C.If people feel sad more often, they probably will live longer.
D.If a person lives longer than 100 years old, he will be very wise.
【4】Which of the following shows the writer’s idea?
A.
B.
C.

26、The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean(地中海). It began during the Western Han Dynasty and has been a bridge between East and West for over 2 000 years.
The ancient road started from Chang'an (now Xi'an) and ended in Eastern Europe, near today's Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. It was about 6 500 kilometers long and went across one-fourth of the planet.
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. Silk, jade(玉石), ceramics(陶器) and iron went west to Rome. And from the west came glass, gems(宝石) and food like carrots.
The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. It was more than an ancient international trade route. Besides trade, knowledge about arts, science and literature, as well crafts and technologies was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.
Today, China is trying to build the "21st Century Marine(海洋的) Silk Road". With the help of APEC held in Beijing in November 2014, the dream of One Belt One Road (the "Silk Road Economic(经济的) Belt" and "gist Century Marine Silk Road")("一带一路") is coming true.
【1】The underlined word "route" in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. 方式 B. 路线 C. 成就 D. 关系
【2】When did the Silk Road begin?
A. In the 19th century. B. In the 18th century.
C. During the Western Han Dynasty. D. During the Eastern Han Dynasty.
【3】How long was the ancient Silk Road?
A. It was about 6 500 meters long.
B. It was about 5 000 kilometers long.
C. It went across one-third of the planet.
D. It went across one fourth of the earth.
【4】Why was it named the Silk Road?
A. Because Chinese silk was carried along this road.
B. Because Chinese silk was produced along this road.
C. Because things were traded from market to market along this road.
D. Because the ancient traders bought and sold things along this road.
【5】It can be inferred(推断) from this passage that
A. the Silk Road was only an ancient international trade route
B. many new silk roads have been built by the Chinese government so far
C. the Silk Road was a very important line of communication connecting East and-West
D. the Silk Road prevented the development of languages and cultures between East and West
27、Hey girls, if the boys in your class are acting silly, you might as well leave them alone. You are far more sensible than them, aren’t you?
There is science to back up this theory. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, and Seoul University, South Korea, found that the brain matures (成熟) earlier in girls than in boys. This is partly because of the way children’s brains are “pruned.”
As the brain matures, it begins to cut out unimportant information and focus on important information. This process is called “pruning.”
In order to learn more about this process, scientists scanned the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls. Between the ages of 10 and 12, a girl’s brain will start to see a lot of activities as the pruning process starts. But for boys, this doesn’t start until the age of 15 to 20.
During this process, the brain will turn off memories, sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections, like linking the sound of a familiar person’s voice to their face, are kept.
“The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function,” scientist Sol Lim told the Daily Telegraph.
To understand this more easily, imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You can’t concentrate. But if you “turn off” some of the voices, it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.
【1】What did the scientists find?
A. Boys usually focus on unimportant information.
B. Girls never focus on unimportant information.
C. Girls mature earlier than boys.
D. Connectivity helps improve brain function.
【2】What does the underlined word “pruned”probably mean?
A. 删减 B. 成长 C. 改变 D. 损失
【3】What happens during the process “pruning”?
A. The brain doesn’t work for a moment.
B. You can’t remember, hear or see.
C. The connections between things disappear.
D. Brains develop to focus on important information.
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A. Boys are more silly than girls.
B. Boys are less sensible than girls.
C. You can never concentrate at the parties.
D. Brains function better after losing some connections.
