Passage 11
Winners are made, not born
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this 1 from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the 2 team at the end of the spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to 3 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment(失望), we were defeated.
Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, 4 they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude(态度) towards their 5 and potential(潜力).
I started doing 6 I could to help them build a little pride. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when 7 teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our defeat at the spring practice, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 8 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest excitements of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect(影响) the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as 9 , I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 10 , and they built themselves into winners.

Luckily, more and more people around the world have realised this problem. They begin to think about 7 or not plastic straws are necessary when drinking drinks.

These straws can be used, 8 , and reused over and over again.
Coffee house Starbucks has started to 9 paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1,000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen.

【导语】本文主要介绍了塑料吸管污染环境的严重程度以及解决这种塑料污染的一些措施。
1. 句意:你可能用它们来喝很多东西,比如可乐或奶茶。
drink喝;eat吃;tie系;make制作。结合上下文可知,此句的“them”指代的是上句提及的“plastic straws吸管”;根据常识可知,吸管是用来喝饮料的,所以A选项符合句意。故选A。
2. 句意:塑料吸管虽小,但却是个大问题。
and和;but但是;or或者;so所以。本句的上半句和下半句,“塑料吸管小”和“塑料吸管是大问题”,句意上有转折,所以横线处应填表示转折关系的连词but。故选B。
3. 句意:它们在10分钟内制成,在20分钟内使用,由于不易分解,通常会在地球上存在100多年。
seconds秒;minutes分钟;hours小时;days天。根据日常生活经验可知,饮用完一杯饮料,也就是使用吸管的时间为“20分钟”较为适合。故选B。
4. 句意:它们在10分钟内制成,在20分钟内使用,由于不易分解,通常会在地球上存在100多年。
cut down砍倒;written down记下,写下;broken down(使)分解;put down放下。根据常识以及备选选项可知,塑料是不易分解的东西,所以才会在地球上存在这么长时间。故选C。
5. 句意:这足够绕地球近两圈半了!
closely紧密地;nearly几乎;specially特别地;especially尤其。结合上下文语境可知,本句的“That”指代的是上文的“500 million plastic straws”这个总数,而5亿条吸管绕地球的圈数并不可能准确测量,所以此处应选用可以表示概数的副词,B选项符合语境,表示“接近两圈半”的意思。故选B。
6. 句意:如果我们现在不采取行动,到2050年,海洋中的塑料将超过鱼类。
more更多的;fewer更少的;less更少的;better更好的。根据上文“That is enough to circle…two-and-a-half times around our planet!这足够绕地球……两圈半了!”可知,此段都在表示现今塑料吸管的数量太过庞大,由此可知,此处也应是数量“多于鱼类。故选A。
7. 句意:他们开始思考喝饮料时是否需要塑料吸管。
whether是否;if是否;why为什么;what什么。根据“or not”可知,此处考查“whether. ..or not"的搭配,表示“是否”的意思,故选 A.
8. 句意:这些吸管可以被反复使用、清洗,再重复使用。
repaired维修;burned燃烧;picked挑选;cleaned清洗。根据横线前的“used”和横线后的“reused”可推测,吸管在使用一次过后可能会变脏,所以在再次使用之前应是需要清洗的。故选D。
9. 句意:咖啡馆星巴克已经开始在上海和深圳的近1000家门店提供纸吸管而不是塑料吸管。
offer提供;afford负担;affect影响;produce生产。根据常识可知,星巴克咖啡的主营产品是饮料,所以它应是会随饮料向顾客提供吸管以便顾客饮用。故选A。
10. 句意:麦当劳也采取行动减少塑料吸管的使用。

AI has been the subject of many creative works. But the AI we see in books and movies is quite 1 what we see in our daily lives.

In fact, this kind of “AI rebellion (反叛)” is a 4 theme in stories. In Stanley Kubrick’s classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey, a smart computer 5 all the people on a spaceship, killing all except the ship’s commander (指挥官). In the Terminator movies, an AI network called Skynet, made for national defense (国防), decides to start a nuclear war (核战争) to 6 humans.

Passage 11
Winners are made, not born
No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this 1 from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the 2 team at the end of the spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to 3 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment(失望), we were defeated.
Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, 4 they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude(态度) towards their 5 and potential(潜力).
I started doing 6 I could to help them build a little pride. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. That summer, when 7 teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.
Six months after suffering our defeat at the spring practice, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 8 . Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest excitements of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect(影响) the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as 9 , I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 10 , and they built themselves into winners.

Passage 12
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Do you often use plastic straws(吸管)? You probably use them to 1 lots of things, such as cola or milk tea. Plastic straws are small 2 they are a big problem. They are made in 10 minutes, used in 20 3 and remain on the earth for over 100 years since they can’t be 4 easily.
In fact, around 500 million plastic straws are used every day in our country. That is enough to circle 5 two-and-a-half times around our planet! If we didn’t act now, there would be 6 plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.
Luckily, more and more people around the world have realised this problem. They begin to think about 7 or not plastic straws are necessary when drinking drinks.
So what can we do right now to reduce plastic pollution? The simplest way is to say “no” to single-use plastic, like straws. For example, next time if you go to a restaurant, make sure you order your drink without a straw. What if people need to use a straw? There are reusable straws instead. These straws can be used, 8 , and reused over and over again.
Coffee house Starbucks has started to 9 paper straws instead of plastic straws in almost 1,000 stores in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Starbucks is not alone, McDonald’s has 10 taken action to reduce the use of plastic straws. It is hoped that more businesses and customers will work together to protect our environment.
