三.阅读理解
A
A team is a group of people with a common goal(目标). A school's football team has two goals. One goal is to win. That is what the team wants to do. The other goal is to build character(性格). Character is what a person values, how a person gets along with others. That is why schools have football teams. They want to help students build good values.
Each team member builds character. They learn to cooperate (合作). They learn to make good decisions. They work hard. They practise every day. They learn to follow the rules.
Each team member has a position (位置). Each position is part of winning. No one player has the ability to win the game for the team. Only if the team works together does a team win. People often say, “There__is__no__I__in__TEAM.”
Whether the team wins or loses, at the end of the game they congratulate the other team. That is called sportsmanship. While they fight to win during the game, it is just a game. They cannot be angry with the other team. If they are, they'll hear from their coach.
__▲__ makes sure the team reaches the school's goal. The coach cares about the whole team. The coach gives each player advice. When the team wins, everyone celebrates. And the coach is glad. But after the season is over, the coach is still happy. The coach gets to see the players as they go to school every day. The character they have built is part of their success in school, too.
Some coaches say that if you go into a classroom at their school, you'll be able to tell the players. It is not that they are bigger than the other students. It is the ones who are helping other students work. Teamwork is part of their lives.
(　　)1.Schools build football teams mainly to help students ________.
A．get good grades B．become leaders
C．build good values D．improve football skills
(　　)2.What does the underlined sentence “There is no I in TEAM.” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．I never take part in the game.
B．I am not a member of the team.
C．A famous star is the key to success.
D．Teamwork comes first during the game.
(　　)3.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 5
A．The captain B．The coach
C．The headmaster D．The monitor
B
Emojis, or emoticons, are picture-like characters which many people find necessary in their social networking communications. They allow people to liven up their texts with hundreds of colourful images. But do you often feel that there are still not enough emojis to express (表达) yourself very well
Laura Ustick, manager of a fast-food restaurant in Illinois, US, said, “There are emojis for ice cream, pizza and sushi, but not for the all-American hot dog.” That’s why he and other emoji fans are taking action to get more emojis.
“When we want to write something cute, it’s just not there,” Ustick told The Wall Street Journal. Other emoji fans are trying to get symbols like cupcakes and bacon, according to the newspaper. The BBC also reported on a petition (请愿书) posted on DoSomething.org calling on Apple to increase the diversity (多样性) within its keyboard. However, not everyone can design (设计) an emoji symbol. Emojis are largely controlled by the Unicode Consortium. It was founded by some computer programmers in the 1980s.
In response (答复) to the DoSometing.org petition, an Apple spokesperson last month said, “We have been working closely with the Unicode Consortium. We are trying to meet the needs of emoji fans.”

A. there are enough emojis

( )2. What can we learn about Laura Ustick
A. He is not an emoji fan.

A. It posted the petition on DoSomething.org.
B. It cannot design emoji symbols.

D. It was founded in the 1980s.
( )4. Who would be the most interested in this passage

One possible vision:
Nowadays, sport has become more and more important in people’s life, it’s good for people’s health, and it’s also a good way to relax. I fell in love with sports when I was very young, and my favourite sport is swimming. I like the feeling of swimming in a big swimming pool or the blue sea. I think swimming is relaxing and fun, when I am swimming I can relax myself so much. By doing sports, I become very strong and healthy, and I also made lots of good friends, this makes me so happy, because of sports, my life is full of sunshine!
