I am a multi-sport athlete and seasoned coach.When I was growing up,school wasn't really my thing,but sport
very much was.Athletics connected me to my school community by giving me a sense of belonging and success even
when I struggled in the classroom.When I entered education,I knew I wanted to be more than a coach on the field and
court-I wanted to help students like me make meaningful connections to school through sport.
I designed a programme around the concepts of comfort and stretch zones.On day one,I set up a range of
equipment for different sports across a field.In groups,students discussed sports that they felt comfortable and safe
olaying.They then took turns selecting their comfort sport on the field,doing a brief share,and playing with their
group.Afterwards,we had a class discussion on the importance of doing things that bring joy and passion,and how
sharing that passion with others motivates us and the people around us.
On day two,with the same field design and sporting equipment,I introduced the idea of stretch zones.Students
formed the same groups as on day one and discussed which sports were out of their comfort zone and more challenging
:o them.Some of my students were shy and others slightly frustrated as they struggled to perform the skills in
sport in which they were not comfortable.Then we discussed,as a class,how even when something is challenging,if
we recognize the difficulty and intentionally practise,we give ourselves the opportunity to overcome it over time.
The programme required more than just adjusting my curriculum ()-it also meant some changes to the way
I taught.I found myself opening up to my students and sharing my own hardships and successes with them.As a result,
ny students felt freer to be their real selves.
24.What did the author think of sport when he was a student?

B.It led to a decrease in his grades
C.It was mainly attractive to seniors.D.It made him struggle in the classroom
25.Why did the author design the programme?
A.To change curricula and teaching methods.B.To prepare students for unexpected challenges.
C.To deepen students'connections with school.D.To share hardships and successes with students.
26.What was a problem facing the author on the second day of the programme?
A.Students wanted material rewards.B.It was difficult to group students.
C.Some students feared challenges.D.The sports field became crowded.

School is,waking up early in the morning,whether it is hot or cold,putting on the school uniform and rushing to
the bus stop to catch the school bus and getting used to the words "Hurry upl You will be late!"You reach school and
again the same words "Hurry upl"do not let you relax.
Throughout the day,it is a mad rush.One period gets over,the other starts and you are ready for the second
subject.When you forget to do your homework,you try to sit at the back and pretend to be looking for something on
the floor or in your bag.You are lucky if you are not seen and it is bad luck if you get caught.If you are not lucky,be
ready for a good scolding during break or after school.If you are lucky and your teacher is in a good mood,you may
be left with a warning.
However,school is not so dull all the time.The games,library periods and breaks are a welcome time,when you
can relax,joke and have fun with your friends.There are some teachers,too,who can make school very exciting.For
example,Mr.Taneja,has a typical style of talking,making us always hooked on the playground.
School can be fun,real fun,when picnics and field trips are organized.We wait for them eagerly and keep on
requesting our class teacher to organize one for us.Debates,quizzes,cultural programs also add luster()to an
otherwise dull school life.Fun increases after really hard work and you tend to enjoy more than those who have been
lazy and have wasted their time.I think this period of your life is the most wonderful period-full of dreams and
hope.

D
Nature works like a big clock.Everything is arranged in order and interconnected.Every part has its place and its
role.Take the wolf for example.As meat caters,wolves regulate the number of plant eaters so that they do not
reproduce too many.All animals and plants are closely related in a system.
The wolves remind me of a story from my childhood when my grandfather gave me an old clock.The firat thing I
did was take the clock apart to find out how it worked.Even though I was sure that I knew how to put it together in
working order,I couldn't do it.After I rebuilt it,there were a few parts left over and a grandfather who was not in the
best of moods.In the wild,wolves play the role of such parts.If we remove them,not only do the enemies of sheep and
cattle disappear,but the system of nature also begins to run differently,so differently that rivers change course and
many local bird species(物种)die out.
And things can also go wrong when a species is added.For example,the introduction of a non-native fish leads to
a great decrease in the local deer population.Because of a fish?The earth's ecosystems,it seems,are a bit too
complex()for us to draw up simple rules of cause and effect.Even protection work can have unexpected
results.Who knew,for example,that recovering crane()populations in Europe would affect the production of
Iberian ham?
So it's high time we took a good look at the interconnections between species both large and small.It's important
for us to realize that even small interventions()can have huge influences,and we'd do better to keep our hands off
everything in nature that we do not have to touch.
32.What does the underlined word"regulate"mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Control.
B.Count.
C.Record.
D.Increase.
33.What does the author want to show with the story in Paragraph 2?
A.Curiosity kills the cat.
B.Every part matters.
C.Clocks are hard to rebuild.
D.Grandfather's love lasts.
34.Why can things also go wrong when a species is added?
A.Local species will disappear soon.
B.The interconnections in nature are complex.
C.Protection projects are too hard to complete.
D.Rules of cause and effect are simple in nature.
35.What does the author suggest people do?
A.Think twice before stepping in.
B.Take a new look at meat eaters.
C.Stay away from protection work.
D.Pay more attention to small animals.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a recent survey in America,62%of people said that creativity was more important to success in the workplace
than they had expected it would be when they were in school.
36.It is of course possible to scan people's brains and see which parts are firing when an idea is created,
but rather inore romantically it can be thought of as something that cannot be ideptified.Creativity is what comes to
5
you when you lcast expect it.You cannot demand creativity from your mind,nor can you demand that you are creative
in a particular way.
One misunderstanding about creativity is that it is designed for a few special people.This is not true.
37.Another misconception is that creativity is all about the arts but this simply ian't true:creativity
extends to maths and science in just the way it does to music and literature.
Those who see things differently to others and are confident enough to make their ideas a reality are the ones who
make the greatest changes in the world.As a result,it is incredibly important that schools do not prevent creativity.
38.Students should be taught to ask questions and investigate when things do not make sense.They need
to learn to view mistakes as opportunities for learning rather than something that was unsuccessful.
It is worrying that many schools are less concerned now with nurturing creativity when this is the most important
time in history for it.It used to be that people worked hard,went to university,and got a job.39 But now,
everyone works hard,goes to university-and there aren't the jobs out there that guarantee a safe future.
40.We can use it to set ourselves apart,and channel it to face the challenges of the future.
A.That was it.
B.Creativity is influenced by many factors.
C.Rather,they should work to grow and exercise it.
D.Without creativity,we are no different from other people.
B.However,creativity can be developed at any age
F.It's hard to work out where exactly creativity comes from.
G.Everyone has the ability to be creative.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Generations of cbildren may all have shared a dream:the abolition()of homework.At present,homework,
which some experts describe as second shift work for schoolchildren,is based 56 our education system.
But educators wouldn't assign it if it didn't serve a good purpose.Teachers give several reasons for handing out
at-home assignments,
57(include)developing students'critical thinking and assessing their skills and
knowledge.Besides,parents often are supporters of homework.When schools and teachers have chosen not to assign
homework,moms and dads grow58(concern)about their children's future and insist they bring homework
back.They believe kids need homework to be prepared for the59(challenge)academic tests.
Critics of homework have their own 60(argue).None is more effective than the fact that homework
can't be proven to be helpful.Moreover,a study of schools in 47 countries found that countries 61
assigned
the least amount of homework had much higher test scores than countries 62 most homework assigned.
Schools63(try)to go homework-free in the past.In 1901,California banned homework for students
at 14 years old and 64
(young).The ban remained in effect 651917.In the 1930s,the American
Child Health Association branded homework as a form of child labor,which had recently been outlawed for many
industries.

I had always been a night person.In middle school,I often stayed up late to finish homework or read novels.I
liked the quiet hours after everyone went to bed.My parents told me again and again that it was not healthy,but I never
took their words seriously.
When I entered senior high school,my habit became worse.There were more lessons,more exercises and more
tests.I told myself that staying up late meant working hard.Sometimes I watched short videos after finishing my work,
just to relax for a few minutes.But a few minutes often became an hour.
One Monday morning,I felt very tired in class.The words on the blackboard looked far away,and I could hardly
keep my eyes open.During the break,my best friend suggested that I should go to bed earlier.I laughed and said,"I
am young.I can manage it."
Two weeks later,I had a sharp pain in my chest during PE class.The teacher sent me to the school clinic.After
asking about my daily routine,the doctor looked serious."You are only sixteen,"he said,"but your body is asking for
help.If you keep living like this,your study and health will both suffer."
