B In many countries, children with a talent for sports are discovered early and encouraged to achieve athletic (体育运动的) greatness by training for hours every day. While some people see this as a good way to improve children’s health, others argue that too much training can be harmful. People who are against training children for so long say that there are many bad sides. Here are some of their arguments: ●The long hours spent on training can distance (疏远) the child from his or her family. ●Athletes who spend too much time training miss out on education. They may not be prepared for other activities, such as going to college and having a non-athletic job. ●Parents may also become too pushy and end up caring more about athletic achievements than the child. Dr. Christine Carr, a psychologist, suggests that parents should take some important steps to help their kids get the most out of sports. Carr says that learning life lessons should be taken seriously. Self-discipline (自律能力) and learning to deal with failure are some of the important life skills kids should learn from sports. Other experts point to the importance of letting children make their own decisions. Top athlete Michael Phelps said that he thanked his parents for letting him decide how much he wanted to train. In fact, according to Phelps’ mother, he had trouble paying attention in the classroom until he found a sport that he was interested in. By allowing Phelps to decide what to do, his mother also saw him improve as a student. Another thing that many parents and doctors agree on is the importance of developing a close relationship with the family Dr. Carr suggests eating dinner together. He says it is a simple way to remind children that support can always be found at home. Raising an athlete is not easy. By balancing life and training, parents can help their children become winners in both sports and life. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 22. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Improving children’s health. B. Achieving athletic greatness. C. Training for hours every day for a sport. D. Discovering a child’s talent for sports. 23.

What do we know about Michael Phelps? A. He used to eat dinner at home. B. He made decisions for his parents. C. He started training before he went to school. D. He became a better student because of his sport. 25. The writer develops the passage mainly by ________. A telling stories B. listing opinions C. giving examples D. raising questions 26. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Raising a child athlete. B. Learning from sports. C. How to get the most out of sports. D. How to be a successful athlete. C Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most famous scientists, believed that to live on, humans will one day have to move into space. “Once we spread out into space and set up independent colonies (定居点), our future should be safe,” he said. Today, the United States, Europe, Russia, China, and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth’s closest neighbor: the moon. Some of these countries want to create space stations there within the next 10 years. These stations will prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should colonize (殖民) space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot of things, for example, the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. At last, we could create new human societies on other planets. SpaceX is a company that builds rockets. Its founder and CEO, Elon Musk, also believes we should colonize Mars. He doesn’t want to send just “one little mission” though. His long-term goal is to put one million people on the planet in case something bad happens to us here on Earth. Not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a smart idea. Many say it’s too expensive. Also, most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take at least six months. People traveling this kind of distance could face many health problems. In addition, these first people would find life extremely difficult in space. On the moon’s surface, for example, the sun’s rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time. Despite these concerns, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see lunar cities or even new human cultures on other planets. First stop: the moon. 27. What’s the main purpose (目的) of this passage? A. To give reasons for and against space colonization. B. To tell about what life would be like on the moon. C. To compare the environments of Mars and the moon. D. To let us know what the company SpaceX does. 28. Why are some countries planning to build lunar space stations? A. To learn more about the moon’s situation. B. To reduce the number of people living on Earth. C. To prepare humans to live on other planets. D. To show their technological strength. 29. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. There are a few reasons not to send humans to space. B. A mission to Mars should be designed on a large scale. C. Many countries are planning missions to the moon. D. There are a number of reasons to travel to Mars. 30. What does “First stop: the moon” mean in the last paragraph? A. Everybody wants to visit the moon first. B. All spaceships to other planets have to stop at the moon first. C. The first place humans visit in space is the moon. D. The first human colony in space will likely be on the moon. 31. What’s the writer’s attitude toward sending people into space? A The writer has a positive attitude. B. The writer has a negative attitude. C. The writer doesn’t mind it. D. We don’t know. D Octopuses (章鱼) are famous for their round bodies, big eyes, and eight arms. There are many different types of octopuses, but all are alike (相似的) in one way. ___32___ Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants, or even other animals. ___33___ An octopus can disguise itself in 3 ways. ___34___ An octopus’s skin has special cells called chromatophores (色素细胞). These cells are filled with yellow, brown, and red pigment. When an octopus moves its muscles a certain way, the cells become large and produce colorful spots and other patterns on its skin. Chromatophores can also reflect light. In blue light, for example, an octopus’s skin will look blue. In white light, its skin will look white. With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colors and patterns. An octopus can also change its skin texture (质地). When the octopus moves its muscles, its skin can go from smooth to spiky (尖刺状). It might then look like a plant, or coral (珊瑚). Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape. ___35___ One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea creatures—especially dangerous ones, such as sea snakes. Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves? They have to be. The ocean is not a safe place for them. ___36___ Many predators (捕食者) want to eat them—and they can eat them whole. To survive (生存), octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide from predators. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks. B. They are masters (大师) of disguise (伪装). C. Octopuses have no bones in their bodies, so they are like large pieces of meat. D. One is by using color. E. How do they do this? 三、完形填空（15小题，每小题1分，共15分） 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 Susan works ____37____ a chef (厨师) in a large hotel.
