Here are some of the most endangered animals. Whooping crane (高鸣鹤) It is the tallest North American flying bird. In 1938, the first year when a population survey was done, only 29 whooping cranes remained in the wild. Three years later, only 16 were left. Hunting and the decrease of their habitats had harmed the population. Great efforts to save the birds did not begin until the late 1960s. Today, there are over 500 whooping cranes, thanks in large part to new breeding (繁殖) programs. Blue whale There are fewer than 25,000 blue whales, the largest animals on the planet. Blue whales are found in all of the world’s oceans but the Arctic Ocean. Today their population has decreased by 90% because of humans’ hunting or killing in the 20th century. Hunting of the species for sale was forbidden in 1966. The National Marine Fisheries Service of the US explained a recovery plan in detail in 1998. Asian elephant The best guess of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) on today’s population of Asian elephants in 13 countries is around 40,000-50,000. That number may be far lower. Over 50% of the population is in India. The increasing human population there—and elsewhere in Asia — creates conflicts (冲突) for space and resources. And while the long teeth of Asian elephants are much smaller than those of African elephants, the Asian elephants are still killed for their ivory, meat, and skin. Snow leopard (雪豹) Though it’s called a leopard, the snow leopard is actually more closely related to the tiger. Probably fewer than 7,500 snow leopards remain in the wild. The largest populations are in China and Mongolia, with large populations in India and Kyrgyzstan as well. The snow leopard usually hunts blue sheep as its food, but in some areas, it heavily depends on home-raised animals. The farmers who depend upon the animals shoot the “problem” snow leopards. 1. What mainly helped the increase of whooping cranes’ population? A. The building of their habitats. B. The prevention of humans from hunting them. C. The programs that help them have young ones. D. The great efforts that aimed to save them before the 1960s. 2. What problem do elephants in India face? A. They’re being driven to other Asian countries. B. Their ivories have become popular in recent years. C. 50% of the population has been killed for their skin. D. They are losing their habitats. 3. Which of the following is a good way to help protect the snow leopard? A. Providing more food for them. B. Helping them live in different countries. C. Creating new breeding programs for them. D. Solving the conflicts between them and farmers. B One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti. Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar’s bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. As she escaped her house with Inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen. Even though Inti could have escaped the house through a cat door, he wouldn’t leave Pilar. As amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. It was normally very quiet where they lived. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window, neighing and shaking his head. She knew something was wrong. Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. Thunder has saved her life. There are also stories of animals coming to the rescue of humans. One animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. Once, Todd Endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot (4-meter) shark. In the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around Todd until he could get safely to the shore. Without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that Todd could have escaped. No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. However, it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship. It is important that we care for them as much as we can. 4. Why did Inti throw himself against the door? A. He was trying to wake up his owner. B. He wanted to get out of the room. C. He felt bored and was playing by himself. D. He couldn’t find the way out because of smoke. 5. What did Charlotte do before the earthquake? A. She closed the windows. B. She was sleeping deeply. C. She ran to warn her neighbors. D. She got her horse out of the stable. 6. What do we know about Inti and Thunder? A. They were shy and quiet. B. They used to make noise at night. C. They were brave and smart. D. They saved their owners several times. 7. Which of the following is probably Todd’s feeling towards the dolphins? A. Doubtful. B. Grateful. C. Frightened. D. Bored. Unit 6 The Admirable 单元复习题 一．单句语法填空 1.

Do the names George Michael, Madonna and Michael Jackson sound familiar? Well, these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s. The 80s pop music scene was an important step to the popularity (普及) of present-day music. A new wave in the music scene was introduced, which made such music styles as punk rock, rap music and the MTV popular. Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles, it was also the beginning of something big. The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays. A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly. The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Introduced in 1982, few people can forget the video not only because of its never-before-seen images, but also because of the popularity it received. Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s. Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the “New Kids on the Block” and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in. These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s. Though today’s young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was, most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love. Some of the 80s pop music legends include Madonna, U2, Aero Smith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson. Let’s not forget Prince, Tina Turner, Phil Collins and Motown’s Lionel Ritchie. Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time. Undoubtedly, the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come. 1. What is the text mainly about? A. The characters of 80s pop music. B. The effects of 80s pop music. C. 80s pop music’s steps to popularity. D. What made 80s pop music popular. 2. 80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT ________. A. rap music B. the MTV C. guitar-based music D. punk rock 3. Michael Jackson’s Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because ________. A. it was made into a music video B. he sang it in a special style C. it changed the lives of people D. it left people with happy memories 4. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that ________. A. 80s pop music is now out of date B. 80s pop music has many faults C. 80s pop music is and will remain popular D. we shouldn’t forget the great musicians of the 80s B Katherine Johnson,a brilliant mathematician at NASA (美国宇航局),began working on the space program in the 1950s.Many of NASA’s first missions were made possible by her amazing calculations (计算). As a child,she loved to count.Her father placed great importance on education and insisted all four of his children go to college,working overtime to pay for it.Johnson said this atmosphere was important to her success.“I was always around people who were learning something.I liked to learn,” she said. Johnson graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18.In 1953,Johnson started to work for NASA,doing the math that powered engineers’ work.Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASA’s most important projects.In 1961,with the help of Johnson’s work,Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space.Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13,which had trouble getting back to Earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts. Johnson retired in 1986,but her huge contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years.Part of that is because,as she is the first to admit,science is based on collaboration.“I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 interview. Earlier this year,NASA named a new data center after her.She was also given a Silver Snoopy award,which recognises “outstanding performance,contributing to flight safety and mission success.” 5.The author explains Johnson’s help to NASA by 　　　.  A.giving reasons B.showing numbers C.providing examples D.comparing differences 6.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Experience. B.Teamwork. C.Research. D.Talent. 7.What can we infer from the passage about Johnson? A.She travelled to space with the Apollo 13. B.She lived a rich life when she was young. C.She has been widely-known since her retirement. D.She used to be the only lady in the research team. 8.What is the passage mainly about? A.Johnson’s great contribution to NASA. B.Respectable awards honored to Johnson. C.The importance of education for Johnson. D.NASA’s achievements in exploring space.

These days it's less political but still worries about people who are poor, ill, old, etc and tries to help them. This year's festival will host many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.     Open'er Festival, Poland     Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk, each year Open'er has a seriously good selection of bands. This year is no exception, with many famous bands set to play. Not only are there amazing artists, but both Poland and the festival itself also provide very excellent value for money.     Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, UK     Set on a Scottish estate(庄园) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world. The most enjoyable part of the festival is the ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance and party) which is always a lively event.

But some school exercises have grown popular online due to their local and innovative (创新的) designs. Let's check one of them out! Singing in the Sichuan dialect with energetic movements and unique mask-changing is not just a Sichuan Opera performance. It's the routine exercise for students of Mianyang Foreign Languages Experimental School in Sichuan Province. “Sichuan Opera is a local opera, and it is now facing a gap in inheritance (传承). Therefore, we cooperated with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center of Mianyang to create a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Shen Junhua, who is in charge of organizing the school's exercise between classes. According to Shen, this new type of exercise has been practiced since 2017 and has been popular among students. When students enroll (报名), they will spend several weeks practicing it. At present, almost all of the students and teachers have mastered it. “In fact, we had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before teachers taught us how to do the Sichuan Opera exercise,” said Li Yangwen, 14, an eighth-grade student who also joined the school's Sichuan Opera club out of interest. “It's very different from normal exercises. After practicing it, we found it very beautiful and became interested in it. Now, almost all of the students look forward to our daily exercise time and feel excited to do it.” “By combining opera with daily exercise, the daily activity allows students to perceive and understand Sichuan Opera's culture,” said Shen. After years of continuous efforts to spread the seeds of traditional culture, the younger generation will finally catch on.  4.Creating this new kind of exercise, the school aims to 　　　.  A.teach students new skills B.set up a Sichuan Opera club C.inherit the traditional culture D.make the school exercise more interesting 5.What can we learn from the text? A.Students must appreciate Sichuan Opera after they enroll. B.Students can master Sichuan Opera by doing the new exercise. C.Students will be good at the Sichuan Opera exercise in several days. D.Students have loved their daily exercise time because of the new exercise. 6.What do the underlined words “catch on” in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Grow.　　　　 B.Perform.　　　　 C.Understand.　　　　 D.Revise. 7.Which can be the best title for the text? A.A New Type of Opera B.An Exercise Combined with Culture C.The Development of Opera D.The Influence of Sichuan Opera Unit 8 Green Living 单元复习题 1． 单句语法填空 1.Ray was getting very bored and____________(bother) about the idea that he might lost his job.  2.____________(industry) production is beginning to pick up.. 3.

As the second on the planet by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System is one of the most common and useful shares, largely because it's combined with public transportation: a single card can be used in subway, bus, taxi and bike sharing. Residents and tourists can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about $29) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city. Each additional hour costs only $0.15. It was also the first new-generation bike-sharing system in China.     City: Barcelona     Launched: 2007     Size: 420 stations/6,000 bikes     Price: $61.93 per year     Barcelona's Bicycling Program developed Spain's bike-sharing business in a big way. This program took off like wildfire on wheels, and because four times bigger in one year. It inspired different copycat programs all over the country. Today, Spain has 132 bike-sharing systems. The program is one of the world's most respected and popular shares. But it is only open to residents and tourists are not allowed to use them. City: Paris     Launched: 2007     Size: l,751 stations/23,900 bikes     Price: $38. 52 per year/ $2.26 per day     Bike sharing in Paris is the star of the world. Launched in 2007, it is the world's largest outside of China. Cheap by American standards, you can ride around Paris on a $1.7 day pass—the first half hour of each trip is free. Because this system covers the city with an average of 50 stations per square mile, it's a favourite with both locals and tourists. 1.What do we know about Barcelona's Bicycling Program? A.It has driven the development of Spain's bike sharing. B.It has once been ruined by fire accidents. C.It is popular among travellers. D.It consists of 175,000 bikes. 2.How much should you pay to ride a shared bike in Paris? A.Nothing for an hour. B.$61.93 per year. C.$2.26 per day. D.$1.7 per day. 3.What do the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System and bike sharing in Paris have in common? A.They are open to both locals and tourists. B.They have the same amount of stations. C.They were founded in the same year. D.They require a deposit of over $30. B     The day will come when renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal and others replace fossil fuels as the major source of world energy. However, most analysts insist that this day will not arrive for many years to come—certainly well past the middle of the century. Systems of fossil fuels have already been firmly set up, and it is too costly or impractical to replace the existing systems with renewables. But there are good reasons to believe that the transition (转变) to renewables will come much faster than previously thought.     It is hardly surprising that many experts say we will see a relatively slow transition from fossil fuels to renewables, given what is known about previous energy changes of this sort. "Energy transitions take a long time," observed Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Scientific American. It took more than 50 years for coal to replace wood as the world's leading source of energy and another 50 years for oil to replace coal; the change from fossil fuels to renewables, he argued, is not likely to come any faster.     Under ordinary circumstances, Smil's forecast would no doubt prove accurate. But these are not ordinary times. Growing concern over climate change is leading to increasingly strict controls on CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions(排放), while the development in renewables technology is lowering their price and speeding their installation.     There are, of course, many difficulties in the effective control of carbon emissions, as demonstrated by coal companies to block the introduction of new rules by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, it is impossible to dismiss the progress being made at the local and international levels to promote the use of renewables. The European Union (EU), for example, is well on the way to achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2020, along with a 20% increase in the use of renewable energy.     The transition to renewables will be faster due to dramatic improvements in the pricing and performance of such systems. As a result of the steady increases in the efficiency of wind and solar systems, together with the savings achieved through large-scale manufacture, the price of renewables is falling globally. With prices dropping this fast, solar energy is now proving competitive with fossil fuels for generating electricity in many areas.     The change from fossil fuels to renewable energy will not come overnight, and it will not escape many setbacks. Nevertheless, renewables are likely to replace fossil fuels as the main source of electrical power well before mid-century. 4.Vaclav Smil believes that ___________. A.renewable energies are not very practical B.the change to renewables will come slowly C.systems of fossil fuels have been firmly set up D.there are many setbacks of renewable energies 5.We can learn from the passage that European Union ___________. A.has cut down half of the carbon emissions B.has failed to find a way to reduce GHG emissions C.is trying their best to encourage the use of renewables D.tries to stop the introduction of new rules on renewables 6.The renewables are more competitive because of __________. A.their falling prices B.the decline in coal industry C.international trade D.the new rules on CO2 emission 7.The author writes this passage in order to ____________. A.call on people to use less fossil fuels B.give advice on how to promote renewables C.argue that the energy transition will come sooner D.prove the renewables will be the major source of energy Unit 9 Learning 单元复习题 1． 单句语法填空。 1.The bird was lucky enough to have avoided 　　　　　　(shoot) to death.   2.A library with five thousand books 　　　　　　　(build) in our school in 2019.   3.The boy did a good job in the contest, 　　　　　　　made his parents proud and happy.   4.While 　　　　　　　(wait) for the train, I had a long talk with my sister about her work.  5.Compare the skirt with the one you are wearing, 　　　　　　　you will see which is better.   6.On the top of the hill 　　　　　　　(stand) a temple dating back to over 800 years ago.   7.I could read the same 　　　　　　　(excite) in my parents' eyes when they heard about the news.   8.I am busy 　　　　　　　(prepare) for the entrance examination, so I can't help 　　　　　　　(do) housework at home.  9.The letter never reached her.

Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility (清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorising facts. The researchers’ report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but they also lead to superior revision in the future. 1.The passage is likely to appear in 　　　.  A.a newspaper advertisement B.a computer textbook C.a science magazine D.a finance report 2.More and more students favour laptops for note-taking because they can 　　　.  A.write more notes B.digest concepts better C.get higher scores D.understand lectures better 3.While taking notes,laptop users tend to be 　　　.  A.skillful B.mindless C.thoughtful D.tireless 4.The author of the passage aims to 　　　.  A.examine the importance of long-term memory B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand C.explain the process of taking notes D.promote the use of laptops B If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time,they become weak;when you start using them again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows that.Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak,we know that it is his own fault (过错).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to blame (受责备),and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories?This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things;they cannot write down in a little notebook.They have to remember days,names,songs and stories;so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory,learn from the people:Practice remembering. 5.The main reason for one’s poor memory is that 　　　.  A.his father or mother may have a poor memory B.he does not use his arms or legs for some time C.his memory is not often used D.he can’t read or write 6.Which of the following is NOT true? A.Your memory works in the same way as your arms and legs. B.Your memory,like your arms and legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice. C.Don’t learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory. D.A good memory comes from more practice. 7.Some people can’t read or write,but they usually have better memories,because 　　　.  A.they have saved much trouble B.they have saved much time to remember things C.they have to use their memories all the time D.they can’t write everything in a little notebook 8.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Don’t Stop Using Your Arms and Legs B.How to Have a Good Memory C.Strong Arms and Good Memories D.Learn from the People 单元附加题：（共七选五三篇+阅读表达两篇，供大家在期末考前针对自己想要练习或加强的部分自行选择练习） 七选五一： How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.But the next step is to make sure that you remember what you’ve read!　1　 You may have just read the text,but the ideas,concepts and images (形象) may fly right out of your head.Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.  ●　2　  If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you probably won’t be able to remember what you read.It’s a bit like reading a foreign language.If you don’t understand what you’re reading,how would you remember it?But there are a few things you can do...Use a dictionary;look up the difficult words. ●Are you connected?

However, taking some time off is important for refreshing yourselves. If you're having trouble making time for a break, the recent research by the UCLA's Anderson School suggests that treating your weekends like a vacation can make you happier. The findings are based on a series of experiments. In one study of 441 workers, half of the test subjects were instructed to have a normal weekend, while the others had to “treat their weekend like a vacation. ”The next Monday, the weekend vacationers reported that they felt happier and were generally more satisfied than those who had had a normal weekend. The vacationers also reported they spent more money in vacation mode—about $130 compared to $104. But it wasn't the money that bought them happiness. The researchers controlled for the amount of money both groups could spend. The vacationers were still happier than the ones who had experienced a typical weekend. The reason the vacation approach may have worked wonders: The vacation mindset allows people to be more attentive to the present moment. “We're always trying to get through things to check off our to-do lists and treating the weekend like a vacation pushes us out of our continuous ‘doing' mode, "said Cassie Holmes, a professor at UCLA's Anderson School. The study showed that getting into a vacation mindset during the weekend is relatively easy. Even if you can't take the entire weekend “off”, you can manage to steal a piece of the weekend to gain the benefits of a vacation mindset. 1.What does the research of the UCLA's Anderson School suggest? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 2.Why may the vacation approach have worked wonders? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.

Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb（麻木的）to new stimulation, new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession（痴迷）many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet”and checked. it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life. 5.What does it take to regain the art of seeing the world? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.Why did the students unwillingly walk ahead in the mountain hiking? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 7.Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.

Eighth—grade students in Mark Bolt’s engineering class were tasked with making changes to a product to make it easier for people with challenges to use. Rather than requiring step-by-step directions for creating their projects, Mr. Bolt preferred to leave students? creative paths open. Let’s see some of the students’ products. A Device That Easily Opens Bottles To find a solution for her grandmother who had difficulty in opening bottles, Alana looked at existing bottle openers and then she created her own. She used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone. Next, she made three holes of different sizes in the wood so that they could match common bottle cap sizes. Each hole also had a layer of dried, sticky hot glue, which provided a firm grip for the bottle caps. With a simple twist of the device, her grandmother could open bottles without help. A Coffee Cup With A Supportive “Thumb” Due to arthritis, a disease that causes pain in or around the joints, Robert’s grandfather had trouble holding a coffee cup. Robert simplified a robotic “third thumb” device created by a London designer. He used rubber bands and a 3D-printed plastic form to make the extra “thumb” which can firmly support the bottom of a cup. A Reading Tool Michael noticed how dyslexia—a common reading disorder, made it difficult for a friend to follow along on pages full of text. It is a language-processing condition. The brain tends to confuse the order of numbers, letters and other images. So, Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could isolate small sections of text while reading,” he said. 39. Alana’s grandmother could open bottles easily by_____________. A. sticking bottle caps to the device B. connecting the device to a cellphone C. twisting the device that has holes in it D. cutting holes of different sizes in wood 40. What did Robert do to help his grandfather? A. He reformed a process to form a metal “thumb”. B. He created a simpler “thumb” device in the cup. C. He added plastic materials to the “thumb” device. D. He used bands and a 3D-printed form to make a ‘‘thumb”. 41. Which of the following words can best describe the students in the passage? A. Independent and patient. B. Creative and considerate. C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Open-minded and generous. B Sports have been a big part of my life. I played flag football in elementary school and middle school. In high school, before I got hurt, I was on the swim team and track team. It was the summer going into my senior year when I was hit by a car. The doctor informed me that there was no hope of full recovery. As a sixteen-year-old boy, you have a lot of self-doubts and are trying to find out who you are. So, you throw in an accident on top of that and it kind of threw a loop into things for me. It was definitely hard, the physical pain of therapy, and learning how to live life. And there was the emotional pain, too. The mental suffering of being paralyzed (瘫痪)is more severe than the physical pain. When I was in the hospital, one of the guys from the University of Wisconsin (UW) that played on the Whitewater wheelchair basketball team visited. He told me about adaptive sports, and I thought that sounded good. He gave my information to the local junior wheelchair basketball coach in Milwaukee. I started playing that October. Playing basketball was a really good thing for me. It let me see a bunch of different people in the same situation as me. It was good to have a group of friends for support. I studied at Southwest Minnesota State University for three years and then transferred to UW-Whitewater for my senior year. I was invited in 2013 to try out for the National Team and made it. That was always my goal. A lot of people would ask me what my backup plan was—I didn’t have one, to be honest. The Paralympics is the pinnacle of our sports. It’s been pretty easy for me to stay motivated. We were the best team in the 2016 Paralympics. And this team was way too good just to win one medal, so I had to be back in 2020. I’m not sure right now about getting ready for the 2024 Paralympics. The team is growing and going through some turnover. I honestly don’t know what my future holds. I just want to be around the people that I care about and care about me—whether that’s on the National Team, or just my friends back home. They are my security blanket, the good people in my life. However, one thing I’m sure is that playing basketball is still number one, with a focus on the Paralympics. Now I am signed as a player with a team over in Spain and Fm exploring what the next chapters of my life might be like. 42. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Being unable to do sports. B. Being hit by a car at sixteen. C. Feeling uncertain about himself. D. Suffering physical and mental pains. 43. What helped the author regain passion for sports after the accident? A. Playing wheelchair basketball. B. Transferring to UW-Whitewater. C. Trying out for the National Team. D. Winning a medal in the 2016 Paralympics. 44. What can we infer about the author? A. He plans to switch to flag football in the future. B. He will graduate from UW-Whitewater in 2024. C. He wants to play basketball at the 2024 Paralympics. D. He intends to coach wheelchair basketball players in Spain. 45. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How playing basketball empowered the author. B. How people around the author supported him. C. How the author9s backup plan shaped him. D. How the author enjoyed his college life. C Have you ever bought a new car and started noticing the exact color and model of car everywhere? Has that type of car just become popular in your city? Were they there before? Or are you just going crazy? You’re not going crazy. The reason you are now just noticing them is what psychologists call “priming” Basically, the cars were always there. You just didn’t recognize them consciously. However, when that certain model of car becomes part of your conscious thinking, you start “automatically” recognizing all of the other cars that are the same, because you are already “primed” to do so. The priming effect takes many forms. In one study, students were asked to walk around a room for 5 minutes at a rate of 30 steps per minute, which was about one-third their normal pace. After this brief experience, the participants were much quicker to recognize words related to old age, such as forgetful, old, and lonely. Reciprocal priming effects tend to produce a coherent reaction: if you are primed to think of old age, you would tend to act old, and acting old would reinforce the thought of old age. This research shows that the way we think influences the way we act, and the way we act influences the way we think. A similar conclusion was reached by the American psychologist William James a century ago, but he emphasized the effect on feeling. “Actions seem to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. Thus the path to cheerfulness, should our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there.” So, that’s it. If you want to be happy, just sit up and act happy. Based on these scientific findings, we can adopt certain priming effects to help make ourselves consistently happier. One thing we have in common is our ability to think, and thus feel. Pleasant thoughts have been proven to produce the chemicals that make us feel happy, particularly thoughts and feelings of gratitude. When we purposefully go through and think about the things we’re grateful for and deliberately feel as much gratitude as we can, we are flooding our mind with the “happy chemicals”. Furthermore, by consciously thinking, feeling and expressing gratitude, we will not only be happier in the moment, we will be ‘‘primed” to recognize the things in our life to appreciate. Each time this happens, the “happy chemicals” will be produced. Do this every day and we will become consistently happier. This makes up for the momentary happiness we gain $$
