We all know that the world's greatest athletes earn high salaries (薪水). Shaquille O'Neal earned ＄27.7 million in one season playing with the Miami Heat. That's ＄337,804 for each regular season game. However, in the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association), the top players only earn about ＄79,500 for the entire season. There's always been a gap between men and women in sports.
Laila Ali, the daughter of the famous boxer Mohammed Ali, is someone helping women athletes get the appreciation they deserve. She became a boxing champion like her father. She has won fifteen of her eighteen victories by knockout (击倒) and gained a lot of attention for women's boxing. Boxing, of course, is not the only sport in which female athletes break through the gender barrier (性别障碍)．
And one sport in which female athletes are currently respected is tennis, but this was not always the case. In the 1960s, Billie Jean King was the best female tennis player in the world, and she worked hard to improve conditions for women in tennis. For example, she wanted them to make as much money as men. She became the first female athlete to earn over ＄100,000 in prize money in a single year. Still, King was not respected by some men.
In 1973, male tennis player Bobby Riggs declared that women could not be equal to men. He challenged King in a tennis match to decide who was better. This “Battle of the Sexes” had the largest television audience ever for a tennis match. At the time, Riggs was fifty years old, and King was just thirty. King kept long volleys to make Riggs grow tired, and she defeated Riggs in three straight sets. She later said, “It helped a lot of people realize that everyone can have skills, whether you are a man or woman ... as well as helping men and women understand each other. ”
There will always be great female athletes. Through their accomplishments, maybe professional sports will someday be equal for both genders.

If you truly want to become a great singer, you must practice using your singing voice. Here's some advice that can put you on the right track.
Where should I practice
__1__ Your practice space can be anywhere in your home where you can be alone and concentrate. This practice space doesn't have to be the size of a football stadium. You simply need space to move around comfortably during the warm up or when you create the scene for your song.
What’s the best time to practice
Schedule a specific time for practicing each day.If the practice time is allotted (留出) on your calendar, you're more likely to practice.__2__ Many singers practice more effectively at night because of their body clocks.If your home is usually overwhelmed (应接不暇) with familial comings and goings in the evening or early morning hours, then you may want to schedule a time in the middle of the day.__3__
How long should I practice
The length of the practice period depends on your level of expertise.Someone who is new to singing can benefit from practicing 15 to 20 minutes a day. __4__ However, quality practice is better than quantity.Focusing for 20 minutes of creative practice is better than unfocused practice for an hour.
Improvement happens with frequent practice.__5__ Set goals for each practice period for consistent progress.
A．The number one question is about location.
B．You can't expect to practice once and be perfect.
C．Decide if you're a morning person or an evening person.

With the summer/winter vacation coming near, many kids will find ways to earn money. Babysitting, dog walking and running a lemonade stand (柠檬汁小摊位) are all popular jobs for kids. But did you know that the last one may be illegal
Recently, the state of Utah in America officially made it legal for kids to open lemonade stands or run the occasional business. You wouldn't think such a law would be necessary, but in most states, the harmless business pursuits (追求) of kids can get shut down. In 2011, Georgia police officers shut down a lemonade stand run by three little girls because they didn't have a business permit to sell food. Last year, two teens were threatened with fines from New Jersey officials because they hadn't got a permit before they went door to door offering to clean snow after a storm.
David Roland, co founder of the Freedom Center of Missouri, recently represented two girls in Missouri who were banned from selling cookies out of their driveway. According to David, media attention usually helps government officials see the light and let these kids get back to business. But one problem still remains: laws requiring permits and licenses that are aimed at adults are increasingly being used to shut kids down. Worse still, officials often receive complaints (投诉) from neighbors.
So what can kids do to stay on the right side of the law with business ventures (冒险) The best way is to call the local city or town office and ask if there are any regulations in place that would prevent kids from running a lemonade stand. That should give kids an idea about whether the local government is willing to work with kids to protect these occasional businesses.
语篇解读：本文是说明兼议论文。越来越多的孩子利用假期打工赚钱，但他们的这一做法在很多地方被认为是非法的。那么到底孩子能不能经营自己的生意呢？
1．Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 2
A．To prove vacation jobs are very popular among kids.
B．To tell the business pursuits of kids are restricted.
C．To explain what kinds of jobs can appeal to kids.
D．To show how important business regulations are.
解析：选B 推理判断题。由第二段的“in most states, the harmless business pursuits (追求) of kids can get shut down”可知，作者列举两例孩子因无经营许可证而无法做生意的情况旨在表明有些地方限制孩子做生意。
2．What does David suggest doing to help kids get back to business
A．Making use of the power of the media.
B．Regulating the use of business permits.
C．Turning to government officials for help.
D．Staying on the right side of kids' neighbors.
解析：选A 细节理解题。由第三段的“According to David, media attention usually helps government officials see the light and let these kids get back to business”可知，David建议借助媒体的力量来引起政府官员的关注，让孩子可以自由进行经营。
3．What should kids do if they want to start occasional businesses according to the last paragraph
A．Make a formal request for a business permit.
B．Develop and stick to a realistic business plan.
C．Have a full understanding of business ventures.
D．Ask whether kids' businesses are officially permitted.
解析：选D 细节理解题。由最后一段尤其是“The best way is to call the local city or town office and ask if there are any regulations in place that would prevent kids from running a lemonade stand”可知，要询问当地法律，看其是否允许孩子做生意。
4．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The law governing kids' business pursuits
B．The best time for kids to do business
C．Are kids' lemonade stands legal
D．Should kids take vacation jobs

In China, the “kingdom of bicycles”， people went everywhere by bicycle.However, now as a result of industrialization, from 1995 to 2005, the number of bikes declined by 35% in Chinese cities, while cars and other motor vehicles doubled.This has left air polluted and roads crowded.In China, pollutant levels have risen alongside urban population growth.
To deal with this issue, Chinese cities have invested (投资) increasingly in public transport systems like bike sharing.Bike sharing systems have grown extremely in China in the past decade.The first major models started in European cities Amsterdam and Copenhagen in 1968 and 1995 and offered a service through which city goers could easily borrow bikes to travel around the city.Since then, bike sharing systems have grown rapidly.
China now has the biggest and largest number of bike sharing programs.One of the largest programs is the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Service.The system is straightforward — pick up a bike from any station and you can ride for free in the first hour.Need another hour Pay 1 yuan for a second hour.Given its ease and cheapness, it's no surprise that an average of 310,000 people use the system every day.
However, the adoption of bike sharing wasn't easy at the beginning.After the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing struggled in maintaining its bike sharing programs, as bike sharing companies suffered heavy financial (财政的) losses due to little government support and little demand.Shanghai similarly struggled in 2014, with citizens choosing to take taxis or to buy their own bikes.Then things started to look up.And now more bike sharing programs are developing quickly.
Regardless of how bike sharing systems change in China, it's evident that they've made their mark on China's transport systems, on the way to making the country return to the “kingdom of bicycles” and hopefully regain clean air.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了共享单车在中国的发展过程。
5．What contributed to the birth of bike sharing programs in China
A．Rising pollutant levels.
B．The population growth.
C．The tradition of riding bicycles.
D．People's increasing interest in cycling.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To deal with this issue, Chinese cities have invested (投资) increasingly in public transport systems like bike sharing”可知， this issue应指第一段所提到的“However, now as a result of industrialization ... This has left air polluted and roads crowded”，所以说是机动车导致的城市环境污染催生了共享单车。
6．What can we learn about bike sharing from Paragraph 2
A．It serves as the most convenient transport system.
B．It is a common means of transport in Europe.
C．It enjoys popularity in most Chinese cities.
D．It has a history of about half a century.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“The first major models started in European cities Amsterdam and Copenhagen in 1968 and 1995 and offered a service through which city goers could easily borrow bikes to travel around the city”可知，共享单车已经有半个世纪的历史，故选D项。
7．What made Shanghai have trouble keeping its bike sharing programs at first
A．Little demand. B．Too many taxis.
C．A lack of money. D．No government support.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Shanghai similarly struggled in 2014, with citizens choosing to take taxis or to buy their own bikes”可知，市场需求少是造成其最初发展问题的因素。
8．What would be the best title for the text
A．Bikes: an eco friendly means of transport
B．The benefits of bike sharing
C．The kingdom of bicycles
D．Bike sharing in China
解析：选D 标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了共享单车在中国的发展过程，故D项为最佳标题。

语篇解读：本文是记叙文。Brighton Zeuner小小年纪就已经是职业滑板运动员，并在世界级比赛中取得了骄人成绩。
1．Bored 此处是过去分词作状语，表示原因。

3．the at the age of是固定搭配，意思是“在……岁的时候”。

5．Skating Skating against women twice her age是现在分词短语作状语，skate与逻辑主语she之间是主谓关系。
6．were 主语是most skaters，谓语动词用复数；这里说的是过去的情况，用一般过去时。

Ranulph Fiennes, explorer
When I was 10, I wanted to buy a canoe (独木舟) and needed ￡85.I washed the buses at Midhurst bus station between 3 am to 7 am during the week.Then I washed the dishes at the Angel Hotel from 6 pm to 10 pm.I was paid ￡11 per week in all, and that's how I got the cash.It is too long ago to know if I actually learnt anything from the experience.
Russel Kane, comedian
I did two humiliating (不体面的) Saturday jobs.The first was selling vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) door to door.I didn't sell a single one.The other job was working with my granddad for a frozen food delivery service.I doubt that a Saturday job really teaches you anything.Where I come from, it's automatic: at age 11 you get a job.It wasn't, “Hey man.I'm really learning the value of work.” It was, “If I want money, I must work for it.” My dad never gave me a penny of pocket money after the age of 11.
Tony Ross, illustrator and author
In the fifties, when I was a boy, I used to work at the Post Office over Christmas.Many of us did it, and it was fantastic fun.I earned enough to buy an old motor cycle.I learnt the basics of working for money like arriving on time, and enjoying it no matter what.It was a good introduction because very few people work for fun.
Adele Parks, author
When I was 16, I worked in our local supermarket, stacking (堆放) shelves for two years.I am good at talking and telling stories, and I think I learnt it there, because one of the things about stacking shelves or being at the checkout is that you get to pass the time with people.That's what I liked best.

Fay Weldon

I get up at seven or eight and then I write until lunchtime.I don't write after lunch.I wrote by pen until about four years ago when I realised that the rest of the world used computers.Although I have a new laptop, I still prefer to use my old computer.
Michael Morpurgo
British children's book writer
I had problems some years ago sitting at a desk, because I got pains in my shoulder, so I decided to write in bed.Now, when I have a story in my head I go to bed with a small notebook and fill it up. I keep my manuscripts (原稿) in the fridge just in case the house burns down.
John Mortimer
British novelist
I write in a room that used to be the garage (车库)．Now it's full of books and photographs.I write with a soft red pen on a notebook.Each page is almost exactly 300 words long.
Simon Armitage
British poet and novelist
I used to be more nocturnal (夜间活动的), but since my daughter was born I try to keep more traditional hours.I have an office just outside the house above the garage where I keep my books and my treasures.I listen to music when I'm writing.I have no love for my computer, although when it's working we are great friends.
Marina Lewycka
Ukrainian (乌克兰) novelist
I write in bed, partly because it's the most comfortable and private place and partly because I like to write either at the beginning or the end of the day.I drink an amount of tea and I work on a laptop.

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years, I_was_treading_water,_just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated.Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new start — there's a dark period in between where you're neither one thing nor the other.You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, “Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there.” My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agent (代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents.So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher.After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really.When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract (合同) of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding (有回报的)．
语篇解读：文章叙述了作者从英语文学专业毕业之后，几经周折，最终幸运地找到自己喜爱的写书这门职业的事情。
8．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean
A．I was waiting for good fortune.
B．I was trying to find an admirable job.
C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据前后文“but no sense of what I wanted to do” “just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism, ...then finance, which I hated.Finally, I got a job ...”可知作者对于找怎样的一份适合自己的工作这件事漫无目的。故选C。
9．The author decided to write a novel ________.

解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It takes confidence to make a new start” “My confidence dived” “Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.”及本段叙述了作者回答别人问题时提到“I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there”可知，此时她的感觉应该是还不完全确定她现在是否还要继续写她的小说。故答案选D。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A cycling session at Queen Mary homeless women's hostel (寄宿舍) in London starts.Eleven women discuss what they're hoping to achieve in today's session.Then they push their bikes to a basketball court to practise in an off road environment.Supported by instructors, they practise riding by themselves.Sometimes these women feel a little tired because they take medicine, but they have all made up their mind for cycling training.
Last year Queen Mary approached Sustrans (a charity) to set up a cycling club for women.Many of them have low levels of fitness.All have survived challenging situations ranging from social isolation (孤立) to abusive (虐待的) relationships.The hostel staff, who are experienced mental health experts, try to develop cycling to build the women's confidence and give them access to other fields of society.The hostel is moving away from traditional treatment of mental health with the belief that cycling could be a really useful tool in helping the women live on their own.After the success of a 10 week pilot project, the cycling club received financial support of ￡10,000 to continue the club.
In modern society, homelessness and mental health problems often go hand in hand.Studies have shown that physical activity, including walking and cycling, can be used to overcome and even prevent stress, depression and anxiety.It can be more effective than medical treatment.
Women, however, are less likely than men to take part in physical activity.Women in the UK make nearly three times fewer cycling journeys than men.Two main causes of this are traditional barriers — mostly because women still undertake most household tasks — and fear of judgment.The network of bike routes has been expanded yet the “build it and they will come” approach ignores the fact that not all people start from the same point.Social interventions (干预) are a useful way to achieve equality of access to cycling.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand?written application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.
The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has even been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self?confident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person. Someone who not only takes his work seriously, but also has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won't only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it！Body language will determine first if it clicks, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (下意识的) level.Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.
