26、Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism (批评) from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping out of or quitting an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of growth are important years for learning about oneself and the sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other socia1 skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support encourages and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
【1】What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Stress should be made less.
B.Sport can be mentally challenging.
C.Mental stress should be reduced.
D.Sport should be made less competitive.
【2】Why is sport important for young people according to the passage?
A.It enables them to criticize themselves.
B.It can help them learn more about society.
C.It can provide them with valuable experiences.
D.It teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves.
【3】What should parents and coaches do according to the passage?
A.Make sure children enjoy sport.
B.Help children to win every game.
C.Train children to deal with stress.
D.Understand the meaning of sport.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To teach young athletes how to avoid burnout.
B.To persuade young children not to worry about criticism.
C.To stress the importance of encouraging children in sport.
D.To discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragement.
27、A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall(降雨量) spreading (扩大) quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely falling below 16°C. Rainforests have a great influence on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.
Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect (反射)more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns,potentially (潜在地) causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources :land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large areas of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply. Rainforests are often called the world's drugstore. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking (减 少)rainforests.
【1】Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they______.
A.reflect more heat into the atmosphere
B.bring about high rainfall throughout the world
C.rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16°C
D.absorb (吸收) the heat from the sun, reducing the effect on the earth
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
A.Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
B.We will lose much more than we can gain.
C.People have a strong desire for resources.
D.Much carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)comes from burning rainforests.
【3】It can be inferred from the text that______.
A.there is great medicine potential in rainforests
B.we can get enough resources without rainforests
C.the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns
D.we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A.How to Protect Nature?
B.How to Save Rainforests?
C.Rainforests and the Environment.
D.Rainforests and Medical Development.
28、There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
I remember when I was travelling I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas do we find that those stories are something wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can’t just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预)and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.
When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
【1】From paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.
A. people around the world are the same in their hopes
B. books always tell us wrong stories about cultures
C. traveling can help us better understand the world
D. People in different places have strange living habits
【2】The underlined expression “cope with” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.
A. solve B. avoid
C. meet D. cover
【3】Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. People in the world are family
B. Traveling helps one make more friends
C. People in the world share one dream
D. Traveling makes one a better person
29、3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料)such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
【1】Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A.Quick and popular.
B.Easy and efficient.
C.Nutritious and tasty.
D.Soft and convenient.
【2】Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A.Traditional food would disappear.
B.Many people could lose their jobs.
C.It would affect the people’s health.
D.We could all eat the same food.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B.3D printing food can treat dysphagia.
C.3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D.3D food printing would be a failure.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen.
B.Can 3D Printing Create Everything?
C.3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion!
D.The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing.
30、Magic of Smile
Smiling is the most desirable human behavior. We tend to overlook the power of smiling, which can work out many wonders and miracles.
In my spare time in the States, I loved to take a walk around the small community where I lived. Whoever I met on the way, they always gave me a friendly greeting accompanied (伴随) with a nice smile as soon as our eyes had ________. Spontaneously (本能的, 自动的), I smiled back. This kind of smiling exchange represented the most ________ part of my jogging experience in the States.
When it comes to doing business, my ________ is “I love to see my customers smile”. If a customer smiles when he sees you, it means he feels ________ dealing with you. More importantly, it means he makes money. If he can make money, I get the business rolling.
On a personal note, my daughter’s giggle is just like ________, which warms my inside the same way as the sun warms my body. It can ________ away any clouds and unpleasant feelings. Whenever I see her photo, her giggle echoes(回响) around my ________. The little reserved and controlled smile of my wife, however, reflects the beauty of a matured and well-learnt woman. It is so ________ in my eyes. It can sometimes really turn me on.
Julia Robert’s ________ is nothing but roaring like earthquake or volcano. It can overtake men and women alike. Americans may ________ in many other ways, but they all agree that Julia is America’s sweetheart. Nobody can ________ her laughter plays a very good part in her acting. Once I tried some candy in a store, the owner asked me how sweet the candy is, I said sweeter than Julia Robert. Both of us ________ into a kind of Julia’s laughter.
Yes, laughter is something we can not do without. Otherwise, our life would be too gloomy.
Smiling does not belong to human alone. Once I stayed at an American home and he had a little doggy by the name of Mini. Mini is a ________ pet. Every time, we came home, she ________ up and down and insisted on giving me some lipping. When I held her gently and asked her to give me a little smile, she just ________ her mouth and half closed her eyes, looking like every inch of smiling. That left a deep impression on me.
