Many times, sports events can be really competitive. Athletes go through great pressure both in their training and during performance, all for that number one position. For one Spanish athlete, Iván Anaya, it was exactly that respect for the great hard work and devotion to the sports that made him lose on purpose.
During a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre, the Kenyan athlete Abel Mutai was well ahead of Iván. But then, thinking he had already reached the finish line, he started slowing down in his pace. He still had 10 meters ahead of him. Anyone else in second position might have taken advantage of that mistake but not Iván. Iván stayed behind Abel, and using hand signals, he guided Abel to the finish line.
Later, Iván spoke about his decision, which might stun many people. Iván said, “I just did what I had to do. He was the rightful winner. He was far ahead of me and I couldn’t have caught him up if he hadn’t made a mistake. As soon as I saw he was stopping, I knew I wasn’t going to pass him.”
Iván’s coach, former Spanish runner Martin Fiz, said he would not have thought to do the same thing. “It was a very good gesture (姿态) of honesty,” said Fiz, “A gesture that I myself wouldn’t have made. I certainly would have taken advantage of it to win.”
Iván hoped it would spread a message about the importance of honesty. “But I also think that having done what I did has earned more fame than if I had won,” he added. “And that is very important, because today in all circles, in soccer, in society, where it seems anything goes, with the way things are, a gesture of honesty goes down well.”
4. Why did Abel slow down during the race

In less than two months, a newly opened minimarket in a remote village in Xigaze City, southwest China's Tibet, has attracted a large number of customers. The secret behind its success is the idea “rubbish for goods”. Villagers can redeem (兑换) goods with used cartons (硬纸盒) and drink bottles.
Early in the morning, Drukhyun, the first secretary of Chumik Village, came to check the stock (库存). “More and more people are coming to redeem goods and we need to timely ensure plentiful stocks,” Drukhyun said. Yet the move was not quite well received in the beginning, until they put their eyes on the pupils. The children used recyclables in exchange for snacks and soon the news spread. Now over 100 villagers have redeemed goods with a value of over 5, 100 yuan.
The market has also provided jobs for four local residents that once lived under the poverty line, each earning a monthly salary of 3, 000 yuan. Tenzin Drolma is responsible for counting and weighing the goods. “Thanks to the market, I can get such a meaningful job. Local residents are highly motivated and I'm pretty busy every day.”
Since a rule of sorting the waste into categories (种类) in Lhasa was carried out in November 2020, several green markets have opened one after another. In another similar supermarket in Lhasa, the shelves are filled with edible oil, washing liquid, toothpaste and other daily products. All the products are only available by redeeming points. One kilogram of plastic waste can be redeemed for 13 points while one kilogram of cartons is worth of 5 points.
Technology has also made the low-carbon lifestyle smarter and cleaner. In a community in Lhasa's Chengguan District, the intelligent recycling bins can calculate the weight and upload (上传) the redeemed points to cards of local residents. “When the trash bins are full, it will automatically remind the cleaning staff to empty them,” said Pendran, director of the district's waste sorting office.
8. What do we know about the minimarket in Tibet
A. It was an immediate success when first founded.
B. It began to spread with the help the local kids.
C. It was not accepted for environmental damage.
D. It allowed villagers to buy daily goods with cash.
9. How does the minimarket affect the local area
A. It starts the local rule of waste sorting.
B. It helps the locals get rid of poverty.
C. It offers more diverse goods for the locals.
D. It provides employment opportunities.
10. What is Tenzin Drolma's attitude towards the minimarket
A. Appreciative. B. Worried. C. Disapproving. D. Uncertain.
11. What can the intelligent cycling bins do
A. Make cards for local residents. B. Sort the waste into several categories.
C. Figure out the value of the recycles. D. Remind the residents to empty the bin.

Dogs in the classroom lower stress of primary school students, new research has found. The study by UK researchers found spending some time with a dog twice a week was better for reducing stress on students than many other classroom relaxation activities. And the benefits of these “dog dates" were similar for children in both normal and special schools.
Stress is known to negatively affect a child’s learning, behaviour, health and mood. This has led schools to try a number of ways to reduce stress, including yoga, mindfulness, physical activities and even having animals in classrooms.
The researchers from the University of Lincoln measured students' stress levels by tracking the level of the stress in their saliva (唾液). They studied 105 students aged 8 to 9 in four normal schools as well as 44 children of a similar age in seven special schools in the UK. The children were randomly (任意) divided into three groups: a group that spent time with a dog; a group that spent time doing relaxation activities; and a “control” group that did neither of these things. Students in the dog group spent 20 minutes with a trained dog twice a week for four weeks. The relaxation group spent the same amount of time doing exercises.
The researchers found that the children in the dog group had “significantly lower” stress levels, while those in the relaxation and control groups recorded an increase over the school term. The study, which was published in the journal PLOS ONE, also found stress was lowest in the children in the dog group immediately after their contact with the puppies. “Dog-assisted activities can lead to lower stress levels in schoolchildren with and without special educational needs,” University of Lincoln researcher Kerstin Meints said, “but more research is needed to discover what was the ideal amount of time and contact with dogs for the best effect.”
12. What is the benefit of having dogs in the classroom according to the research
A. Relieving stress for students. B. Making students feel less lonely.
C. Strengthening students' health. D. Improving students’ learning ability.
13. How did the researchers get the findings
A. By analyzing causes. B. By providing examples.
C. By listing facts. D. By making comparison.
14. What does the research show according to the last paragraph
A. The proper contact time with dogs still needs further study.
B. Dogs have more effects on the children in special schools.
C. The children doing more exercises have the lowest stress level.
D. The children spending most time with dogs are lowest in stress.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Students need the company of dogs
B. Classroom dog dates reduce kids’ stress
C. A new research about dogs is carried out
D. Dog-assisted activities become popular in UK

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述在一次越野赛中，领先的肯尼亚选手Abel看错终点线，在距离终点十米的地方突然慢了下来。紧随其后的西班牙选手 Iván本来可以超越他第一个到达终点，但他没有这样做，而是指引对手Abel通过终点线，赢得比赛。通过讲述该故事传达了诚实很重要的主题思想。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But then, thinking he had already reached the finish line, he started slowing down in his pace.”（但是随后，认为他已经到达终点，他开始放慢步伐）可知，Abel认为自己已经到达了终点，所以慢了下来。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Iván所说的话“I just did what I had to do. He was the rightful winner. He was far ahead of me and I couldn’t have caught him up if he hadn’t made a mistake.”（我只是做了我该做的。他是真正的赢家。他领先我很多，如果他没有犯错，我是赶不上他的）可知，他认为领先自己的Abel如果没有出现失误，自己是不可能超越他的。由此可推测，Iván认为自己不应该获胜，Abel应该获胜。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句“Iván’s coach, former Spanish runner Martin Fiz, said he would not have thought to do the same thing.”（ Iván的教练，前西班牙跑步选手Martin Fiz说他没想过去做同样的事情）可知， Iván的这个行为让他的教练都感到意外，更不用说常人了。故推测“stun”与“shock”同义，都表示“使震惊”。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Iván hoped it would spread a message about the importance of honesty.”（ Iván希望这件事能传递一个信息，即诚实很重要）并结合文章的主要内容推知，作者通过Iván的故事告诉我们在社会生活的方方面面都需要诚实。故选B项。

Dogs in the classroom lower stress of primary school students, new research has found. The study by UK researchers found spending some time with a dog twice a week was better for reducing stress on students than many other classroom relaxation activities. And the benefits of these “dog dates" were similar for children in both normal and special schools.
Stress is known to negatively affect a child’s learning, behaviour, health and mood. This has led schools to try a number of ways to reduce stress, including yoga, mindfulness, physical activities and even having animals in classrooms.
The researchers from the University of Lincoln measured students' stress levels by tracking the level of the stress in their saliva (唾液). They studied 105 students aged 8 to 9 in four normal schools as well as 44 children of a similar age in seven special schools in the UK. The children were randomly (任意) divided into three groups: a group that spent time with a dog; a group that spent time doing relaxation activities; and a “control” group that did neither of these things. Students in the dog group spent 20 minutes with a trained dog twice a week for four weeks. The relaxation group spent the same amount of time doing exercises.
The researchers found that the children in the dog group had “significantly lower” stress levels, while those in the relaxation and control groups recorded an increase over the school term. The study, which was published in the journal PLOS ONE, also found stress was lowest in the children in the dog group immediately after their contact with the puppies. “Dog-assisted activities can lead to lower stress levels in schoolchildren with and without special educational needs,” University of Lincoln researcher Kerstin Meints said, “but more research is needed to discover what was the ideal amount of time and contact with dogs for the best effect.”
12. What is the benefit of having dogs in the classroom according to the research
A. Relieving stress for students. B. Making students feel less lonely.
C. Strengthening students' health. D. Improving students’ learning ability.
13. How did the researchers get the findings
A. By analyzing causes. B. By providing examples.
C. By listing facts. D. By making comparison.
14. What does the research show according to the last paragraph
A. The proper contact time with dogs still needs further study.
B. Dogs have more effects on the children in special schools.
C. The children doing more exercises have the lowest stress level.
D. The children spending most time with dogs are lowest in stress.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Students need the company of dogs
B. Classroom dog dates reduce kids’ stress
C. A new research about dogs is carried out
D. Dog-assisted activities become popular in UK
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“but more research is needed to discover what was the ideal amount of time and contact with dogs for the best effect.（但是需要更多的研究来发现与狗接触的最佳时间和接触效果。）”可知，还需要更多的研究来发现与狗接触的理想时间和最佳效果。故选择A项。

How To Take The Advice You've Been Given
Taking advice sometimes can be really hard, especially when you're in a tough situation. ____16____ Here are some of them.
Listen to yourself first. You're the one who has to live with the choices you make, so really take the time to make sure that whatever you're doing feels true to you. For instance, if someone gives you advice that goes against your values like honesty, say no. ____17____
Choose your advisers wisely. Be very discerning (有眼力的) when you’re choosing who to take advice from.____18____However, just because someone is successful in their field doesn't necessarily mean they'll give you good advice. Never take advice from the wrong person. For instance, you might not take financial advice from someone who doesn't manage money well.
Seek several different opinions. ____19____Instead, reach out to several people whose judgment and experience you really trust. That way, you can be sure you're getting a broad enough perspective on the issue. Also, don't just rely on people who think similarly to the way you do. Try to find people with diverse points of view.
____20____Take a little bit of time to think over any advice someone offers even if you have to make a quick decision. Carefully consider your options so you can make a thoughtful decision based on your goals. However, do give yourself a deadline so you don't end up delay for too long.
A. Give yourself time to think about the advice you receive.
B. Don't feel like you only have to get advice from one person.
C. It is important to let people know you appreciate their advice.
D. You should listen to the inner voice and tell yourself it's wrong.
E. Therefore, you're prepared to take responsibility for your decision.
F. Good advice always comes from those who are experts on the subject.
G. There are still tips making it easier for you to decide what to do, though.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了如何采纳别人给你的建议。
【16题详解】
选项G. There are still tips making it easier for you to decide what to do, though.(不过，仍然有一些技巧可以让你更容易决定要做什么。)与上下文呼应。该句中的easier与上文中的hard形成对比；同时，下文中的them指的就是该句中的tips。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Listen to yourself first. (听你自己的。)”可知，本段的中心是听从自己的内心想法；空格前为举例证明本段中心思想，D选项“你内心的声音告诉你自己这是错的，你应该听从（它）”符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“However, just because someone is successful in their field doesn't necessarily mean they'll give you good advice.(然而，仅仅因为某人在他们的领域取得了成功并不一定意味着他们会给你好的建议。)”中的转折词However可知，空格处的句意与后句句意相反， F选项“Good advice always comes from those who are experts on the subject.”（好的建议总是来自于这方面的专家）与后句构成转折关系，故选F。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Instead, reach out to several people whose judgment and experience you really trust.(相反，多与你真正信任其判断和经验的人接触。)”中的Instead可知，空格处的句意与后句句意相反，即：我们不能只从一人身上寻求意见；前文“Seek several different opinions.(寻求不同的意见。)”也说明我们要从不同人身上寻求不同意见，故选B。
【20题详解】
后文“Take a little bit of time to think over any advice someone offers even if you have to make a quick decision. (花一点时间考虑一下别人提供的建议，即使你必须迅速做出决定。)”与选项A“给自己时间思考你收到的建议”所讲的内容一致，前后文连接顺畅，故选A。
