As a person, she 3 (love) by fans at home and abroad. Before the 2015 World Cup, she faced a great challenge. That was 4 one of the best players had been 5 (injure) and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems. However, Lang Ping didn't lose heart and she led her volleyball team 6 (win) the championship. Known as “Air Jordan”, Jordan changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan's skills were 7 (impress), but the mental strength he showed made him unique. The secret 8 his success is learning from his 9 (fail).

It seemed that you found a way to win in the final seconds of the competition. It did not surprise me at all when the host announced you were the winner. It is your positive attitude towards your life rather than the good chance that makes your dream come true. As you said in your speech, failure is the mother of success. Whenever you face difficulties, you should never lose heart and never give up. 素养积累阅读 The Great Wall The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It is very old and looks amazing! A long time ago, the Great Wall was built to keep the central plains safe from attackers coming from the north. The building of the Great Wall started during the Western Zhou Dynasty, a really long time ago, before year zero! Over the next few centuries, different Chinese dynasties added to and fixed up the Wall. The most famous part was built by the first emperor of China, Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After he brought all of China together, he made the Great Wall bigger and stronger to keep enemies out. The last big changes were made during the Ming Dynasty, and what we see mostly today comes from that time. The Great Wall twists and turns and is over 21,000 kilometres long! It goes over mountains, through deserts, and across grasslands—it’s really something to see! The Wall was built using lots of stones and bricks. Each part of the Wall was made using what was around, so every piece looks a bit different. On the Great Wall, there are watchtowers along the way. What were these for? Back in old times, it was hard to send messages, so people used these watchtowers to send military messages and warnings. Soldiers would light fires on the watchtowers, and the smoke and light signals would send messages quickly. The Great Wall isn’t just a symbol of China; it’s also a World Heritage Site. In 1987, the United Nations(联合国) said it was so special that it got added to the World Heritage List. This means the Great Wall is important not just to China, but to everyone in the world. You might have seen the Great Wall in movies or books—it helps people learn about Chinese history and culture. I hope one day you can visit the Great Wall, too. You can stand on it and feel how big and old it is, and learn more about this amazing building’s stories! Read the text and answer the following questions. 1. What was the original purpose of building the Great Wall a long time ago? It was built to keep the central plains safe from attackers coming from the north. 2. Why did ancient soldiers light fires on the watchtowers along the Great Wall? Because sending messages was difficult in old times. The smoke and light signals from fires could quickly send military messages and warnings. 3. Why is the Great Wall important to the whole world? It became a World Heritage Site in 1987. It helps people all over the world learn about Chinese history and culture, so it matters to everyone globally. 【强化提升练习】 一、阅读理解 A In Africa, the honey guide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction, or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food. Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages. Having a snake wrapped around your neck isn't necessarily what you usually expect. But Monty, a 13-year-old snake has been helping customers relax with neck massages(按摩). It's unlikely he was trained to do the job and is just pulsating like any other snake would when around a person’s neck. Regardless, this special snake books out a few weeks in advance. The Guide Horse Foundation has been training miniature horses(those standing 34 inches or less) as assistance animals for the visually damaged since 1999. Miniature horses are ideal service animals for people who feel uncomfortable with dogs or who want a guide animal with a longer life span. The horses typically live from 30 to 40 years. 1. According to the text, which animal can help you relax? A. A snake. B. A dog. C. A honey guide bird. D. A miniature horse. 2. Miniature horses could serve ______. A. blind people who dislike dogs B. blind people who can live longer C. animal lovers who search for honey D. animal lovers who suffer from cancer 3. The text is about animals’ ______. A. special training B. great potentials C. unique jobs D. high intelligence [答案] 1—3 AAC B With the world's attention on vaccines(疫苗), now feels like a good moment to sing the praises of an often forgotten contribution to their development. Three hundred years ago this month, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu got her daughter inoculated(接种) against smallpox, making her child the first person in the West to be protected in this way. Without Montagu's willingness to adopt a practice she had learned from other cultures, the introduction of vaccines around 80 years later would never have taken place. Montagu first witnessed inoculation when she accompanied her husband to Turkey in 1717. Inoculation had started in Asia, probably in China, as early as the 10th century AD. Montagu observed how older women in Turkey took a tiny amount of pus (脓) from a person with smallpox. They then used needles to make cuts on people’s wrists and ankles and added the pus to their bloodstream. This helped people gain immunity from future infection. Like other visitors to the country, Montagu took steps to ensure that her son was inoculated in Turkey. This worked well, but she knew that trying it in England would be far more challenging. Inoculation performed by unlicensed amateurs would threaten doctors' professional standing and potentially rob them of valuable income. Churchmen also disagree with the practice, as they saw it as going against nature. Back in England, Montagu observed the increased severity of smallpox infections. Eventually, in April 1721, she decided to use the Turkish practice to have her daughter inoculated, because she believed that the rewards would outweigh the risks. After a safe time had passed following the inoculation, Montagu allowed doctors to examine her daughter. Doctors in Britain gradually accepted the practice. About 80 years later, a pioneering physician found smallpox vaccines to destroy smallpox completely. As early as last century, academics argued that Montagu was no more than an enthusiastic amateur. In truth, she made a vital scientific contribution towards finding the cure for smallpox. 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The origin of smallpox inoculation. B. Montagu’s first access to inoculation. C. The benefits from smallpox inoculation. D. Turkish women's invention of inoculation. 5. Montagu found it difficult to try inoculation in England because ______. A. it was against human nature B. it might harm doctors' interests C. it was beyond doctors' abilities D. it might shake churchmen’s belief 6. What led doctors in Britain to accept inoculation? A. The increased severity of smallpox infections. B. A physician's discovery of smallpox vaccines. C. The result of Montagu's daughter's inoculation. D. Montagu's focus on its rewards rather than its risks. 7. What might be the best title of the text? A. An Unsung Hero B. No Limit to Creation C. Development of vaccines D. A Historic Medical Innovation [答案] 4—7 BBCA 二、七选五阅读 Think “art”. What comes to your mind? Is it sculptures in the Louvre, or Chinese painting in the Palace Museum? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s a dancing pattern of lights? The artworks by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night. Visitors can not only enjoy looking at them, they can also interact with them—literally. 1 Exhibits such as these are certainly new and exciting, but are they really art? Whatever your opinion, people have been expressing their thoughts through art with various tools and technologies for thousands of years. Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as "artists" rather than “technicians”. 2 Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. 3 Take one of China's most famous paintings for example, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation. 4 Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? 5 But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected. A. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. B. Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. C. It's not important whether they are artists or technicians. D. They do this by using their phones to change their colors and patterns. E. They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime. F. The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. G. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things.

Yet Michelangelo and others have been labelled as "artists" rather than “technicians”. 2 Today, however, technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology. As a result, the art world is changing greatly. 3 Take one of China's most famous paintings for example, Along the River During the Qingming Festival. As this artwork is rarely on display, people have sometimes queued a long time for a chance to see it. Thanks to technology however, millions more people have been able to experience a digital version of it with 3D animation. 4 Not only can we interact with art, but also take part in its creation. With new technological tools at our fingertips, more and more people have created exciting new art forms, such as digital paintings and videos. However, such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct. Is the artist the creator of the art itself, or the maker of the technology behind it? 5 But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected. A. Now art is more accessible to us than ever before. B. Where technology will take art next is anyone’s guess. C. It's not important whether they are artists or technicians. D. They do this by using their phones to change their colors and patterns. E. They watch as the different scenes change from daylight into nighttime. F. The art-tech combination is also changing our concepts of “art” and the “artist”. G. This means that art and technology have always been seen as two very separate things. 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
