People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this1 .from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even 2.___for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was 3._because I knew we were sure to win. But unluckily, we were defeated (打败). I couldn't believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 4._______that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude(态度)about their 5.__. I started doing anything I could to help them build confidence. The most 6 .thing is that I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and 7.passing and kicking the football. Six months after suffering(遭受)our defeat, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. 8., we faced the number one team. I felt that we would be winners even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me the most exciting moment of my life! From the experience, I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can make a 9.____to a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I 10.____and encouraged them.

Playing team sports can not only help you stay healthy, but also give you a chance to make friends. If you are a member of a sports team, you may feel stressed in a match. That's because coaches, parents and friends place high expectations upon you. This may make it hard for you to do your best. Is it a bad thing for others to have high expectations of you? Not necessarily! Sometimes it just shows they believe in you. But when expectations are impossible to meet, they have a bad effect. They may hurt your self-esteem(自尊心) or make you lose confidence. Can expectations influence you in a good way? Of course! A researcher(研究员)named Robert Rosenthal first studied this in 1964. He carried out a test at a primary school. First, he chose a group of students at random(随机地).Then, he told teachers at the school that those students were highly likely to succeed. He said those students’IQs would rise quickly in the coming years. Then, Rosenthal followed those students for two years. He found that, when teachers expected those students to do well, that's exactly what happened. He concluded that teachers' higher expectations influenced those students' learning. Rosenthal found that teachers acted differently toward students when they held higher expectations for them. For example, they gave these kids more time to think about questions. They also gave more support and chances to those students. It's important to hold high but proper expectations for people. Start by getting to know those around you and understanding their dreams. Then, support them by holding proper expectations.Everyone can benefit(受益)from the expectations of their friends, family members and teachers. 11. What does the underline word "This" refer to? A.members in your sports team B.your coaches, parents and friends C.high expectations from others D.having matches with your coach 12. What may happen to children when expectations are impossible to meet? ① They may find it easy to do their best. ② Their self-esteem may be hurt. ③They may lose their confidence. ④They may get more support and chances. A.①② ①③ C.②③ D、③④ 13.What do we know about Robert Rosenthal's research? A.He started to do it 60 years ago. B.He carried out his test at a middle school. C.He told teachers how to train those students. D. It took him two years to choose a group of students. 14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Why those students could do well. B.How those students’ IQs rose quickly. C.Why Rosenthal chose those students. D.What teachers thought of those students. 15. What does the writer want to tell us?. A.Teachers should be strict with students. B.Proper expectations are good for people. C. It's important to learn to deal with stress. D. Teenagers should be given more support. B Clyde, a small-clawed otter (水獭) , was moved fromy Auckland Zoo to Wellington Zoo two months ago. The zookeepers hoped he and the other otter Bonnie might start a family together. But only two days after he arrived, Clyde went missing. He had dug his way under one of the walls and was nowhere to be seen. The zookeepers set up cages inside the zoo, with plate of Clyde's favorite fish in them, hoping to catch him. Two days went by and still there was no sign of Clyde's. At last a couple saw Clyde at their house -- a whole kilometer away in Newtown. Clyde was hiding in an out-of-reach hole outside their laundry. The zookeeper arrived and set up some more traps to try to catch him. But Clyde is a pretty smart otter. Twice he managed to get the fish out of a trap without being caught. Five days after he's escaped, Elyde's days on the run came to an end when he was finally caught in one of the traps. It was no good putting Clyde back in his old home -- he'd only dig his way out again. So he and Bonnie were put into the zoo hospital. There was no chance of their escaping from there. Meanwhile, the zookeepers were working hard to make Clyde's old home safer. They put an iron barrier underground to stop him digging their way out. Then Bonnie and Clyde went home again. But a month after his first escape, Clyde was out again. Once more the zookeepers came hurrying to catch Clyde. They found him by following the bubbles he made in the river nearby. Nobody knew how Clyde had escaped. But this time he was only out for an hour. So, he went back to the hospital again. Poor Clyde. It seemed that he wasn't happy at Wellington Zoo, even though he and Bonnie were getting on well together. The keepers didn't like seeing him unhappy, so they planned to look for a home for him somewhere else. 16.Where was Clyde found his first escape? A.Back in Auckland Zoo. B. In a river nearby. C. At a house a kilometer away. D. In the Zoo hospital. 17. How long did his first run-away from the zoo last?

C.They dug a hole outside his home. D. They followed the bubbles in the water. 19. What do we know about Clyde? A. He didn't get on well with Bonnie. B. He was good at digging. C.He was happy in Wellington Zoo. D. He escaped to meet Bonnie. 20.Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from? A.A news report. B. An advertisement C.A book review. D. A research paper C Is rice your favorite staple food (主食)? Over 90percent of the world's rice is eaten in the Asia-Pcific region, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. However, eating rice can increase the risk of developing health problems such as diabetes (糖尿病). Now, scientists in the Philippines have created a new variety of rice that may help alleviate the growing burden (重担) of diabetes. White rice has a high glycemic index(GI,升糖指数),which can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly. Research has found a connection between eating large amounts of rice, particularly white rice, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the discase. Currently, around 537 million people around the world have diabetes, with over 60 percent of them living in Asia. This number is expected to reach 783 million by 2045, according to the International Diabetes Federation. To fight this issue(问题), researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)in the Philippines have teamed up with various global institutions(机构).Based on the IRRI's large rice gene bank, they examined 380 seed samples over 10 years to identify genes with a lower GI and higher protein content. They then combined (组合)them to develop a new, healthier type of rice. The new rice has a very low GI and contains twice the amount of protein typically found in regular rice.Rice varieties with higher protein content may contribute to (有助于)slower digestion and absorption rates (消化和吸收速度),meaning they may be able to help control blood sugar levels. According to the IRRI's Director General Yvonne Pinto, this new type of rice can help meet important goals for food security (安全).“This could have a big impact (影响)in Asia, as well as in Africa, among the rice-consuming countries (大米消费国),”Nese Sreenivasulu, a scientist at IRRI told The Guardian. So far, the rice has only been grown in IRRI laboratories. There are plans to start growing in India and the Philippines to help the poor. 21. What does the underlined word "alleviate" in the first paragraph mean? A. Increase B. Reduce C.Cause D.Maintain 22.According to the passage, which region has the highest percentage of people with.abetes? A.Asia B. Europe C.Afriea D.North America 23.What was the primary aim of the research conducted at the IRRI? A. To increase the yield of rice crops. B.To develop a rice variety with a higher glycemic index. C. To create a healthier rice with lower GI and higher protein. D. To identify the most common form of diabetes 24. Based on the information provided, where has the new rice variety been grown so far? A In various countries across Asia B.n Africa and South America C.Only in IRRI laboratories D.In India, the Philippines, and the United States~? 25. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Asia-Pacific Region's Rice Consumption. B.The Future of Rice Production C.A New Variety of Rice to Combat Diabetes D.IRRI Helps Stop Diabetes in Asia 第二节 短文填空 以下是一篇短文，请阅读全文，并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。(共5小题，每小题2分) Let's try and take care of it. B. A greener lifestyle helps save energy. C. They include heatwaves, forest fires, floods, etc. D.We can do something to reduce the greenhouse effect. E.She discovered that CO2 traps(吸收)heat more than other gases. F.As a result, heat can't run away and the temperature increases. Our planet is heating up because of the greenhouse effect. This is one of the reasons why Earth is seeing more extreme (极端的)weather events. (26)But what's the greenhouse effect on Earth, and what can we do to reduce it? Let's first think about a greenhouse--you may have one in your garaen! It's a glass building that protects plants against low temperatures by trapping heat inside. But, while this helps your plants grow, Earth is trapping heat in the same way, and it's causing global warming. When oil and gas are burnt for power, CO2 is sent out as a waste product.It enters the atmosphere(大气层)and acts like a blanket(毯子)around the planet. (27)_; The influence of gases on the Earth's climate was first examined in the 1820s.Eunice Foote, a scientist, tested the effects of sunlight on different gases. (28） And then the idea of the greenhouse effect was born. (29)_The UN recommends using more energy-saving electncat equipment at home. Also, if you wash your clothes at 30° instead of a higher temperature, less electricity is used. A change in diet is also something to consider; plant-based foods, compared to meat, need less land and water to be produced. We only have one planet. (30).`though the universe is big and there are a large number of planets there, so far we haven't found another one that is suitable to support life. Even if we find one in the future, people present can't wait until that day. 第三节 信息匹配 阅读下面对六个街市的介绍，为五个人选出最适合他们逛的街市，并将其标号填入题前括号内。(共5小题，每小题1.5分)· A.Rosewell The market is in an amazing building that's hundreds of years old.There're always fun shows for people.
