Ⅰ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was the end of the school term and my son Tom had less than three months left before he would finish his six years at high school.During that time he developed a love for basketball. Sadly, because of my work over the last twelve months, I had only been able to attend a few of his games; however, I was determined to get to his last game for the school term.
Tom's team led by just over 20 points at the end of the first half. The second half changed as the other team quickly came back. Tom's team started to miss an increasing number of shots. It was at that point that the coach called his first timeout.
The spectators (观众) became quiet as the coach spoke to them. He had the team standing in a half circle, but he squatted (蹲) down, looking up at them and giving some very clear instructions on what they needed to do in the last couple of minutes. As he stood up to allow the team to return to the court, I saw he gave some further words of encouragement to all of them.
You could see that he knew that the team was fighting to save the game and that he needed to lift their spirits. By squatting down he placed himself in a position where he was talking up to them, rather than down or at them, and as the players went back onto the court his words of encouragement served to lift their energy and spirits.
Well, Tom's team went on to win the final by 5 points. As I drove away I thought about what can happen to us all in our everyday life. One of my favourite quotes is about the half filled glass of water — “Is the glass half empty or half full？” Like the coach, the answer to this quote all depends on how you look at things.
1．Why did the writer go to see his son play basketball
A．Because his son would graduate from high school.
B．Because he felt sorry for never watching his son play.
C．Because it was a final his son played a key role in.
D．Because he had a strong interest in basketball himself.
2．By squatting down, the coach wanted to ________.
A．talk about where the players were doing wrong
B．make the players feel better
C．prevent spectators from hearing what he said
D．show his anger at the bad performance of the players
3．What can we infer from the passage
A．A father should care about his son at school.
B．Playing hard is rewarded with a close match.
C．What a coach says has the most influence on players.
D．Looking at things positively is important in hard times.
B
Playing sports can help children in many ways. But many children cannot play sports. Their families do not have enough money to buy the equipment (器材) they need. Max Levitt wanted to change that. He had worked in College Youth Sports. And that experience helped him find a solution to the problem.
Levitt created a group called Leveling the Playing Field (LPF) four years ago. The organization collects used sports equipment and gives it to children who need it. Levitt said no child should be unable to play sports because of the cost.
Levitt noticed in America, much of the sports equipment that teams used in the previous (以前的) season was thrown away every year. So Levitt started collecting used equipment and storing it in his parents' home. Now, he keeps it in a storage building. The boxes and shelves are filled with about D|S1.5 million worth of sports equipment.
Jerome Clemons is a soccer coach at a program called DC SCORES, a group that gives free classes after school. Clemons said playing sports was important to children. “It helps them build character. It teaches them about teamwork. It gives them the opportunity to do activities after school.”
LPF has given more than D|S1.4 million worth of sports equipment to 300 programs in Washington, DC. It has helped more than 100,000 children. Levitt said he planned to bring the LPF to other cities to give every child a chance to play sports.
Levitt said his organization could not succeed without the help of volunteers. He and another person are the group's only paid workers. He said more than 500 people had volunteered to work for the group.
4．Why can't many children play sports
A．They have no time to play sports.
B．They can't pay for the equipment.
C．They don't want to buy equipment.
D．They can't get support from their families.
5．What made Levitt think of the idea of creating the LPF
A．He liked collecting used things.
B．His parents gave him much money.
C．There was a waste of sports equipment.
D．College Youth Sports was popular in America.
6．What does Jerome Clemons tell us
A．DC SCORES is important to children.
B．Playing sports is very helpful for students.
C．Children need more time to take exercise.
D．It's necessary to have free classes after school.
C
Sport is not only physically challenging, but can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated (表明) that it can lead to burnout (精疲力竭). Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters' performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.
7．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ________.
A．to make sport less competitive
B．to increase their sense of success
C．to reduce their mental stress
D．to make sport more challenging
8．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that ________.
A．it can help them learn more about society
B．it enables them to find faults in themselves
C．it can provide them with valuable experiences
D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
9．According to the passage parents and coaches should ________.
A．pay more attention to letting children enjoy sport
B．help children to win every game
C．train children to cope with stress
D．enable children to understand the positive aspect of sport
10．The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.
A．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B．to persuade children not to worry about criticism
C．to stress the importance of positive support to children
D．to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Climate change could turn the Arctic Ocean into a high speed ice superhighway. Large pieces of sea ice in the Arctic are becoming thinner as old ice melts. The new ice that's replacing it travels farther and faster than the older ice had. As the younger ice travels, it carries dirt, organisms (微生物) and pollution along for the ride, new research shows.
Researchers have been tracking the movements of Arctic ice for several years. They noticed that the area covered by ice making the trip from one side of the ocean to the other has grown larger and larger. That movement means that far away reaches of the Arctic are becoming more connected, notes Robert Newton, from Columbia University.
“The speedy ice is a problem，” he explains. “The ice in the Arctic is surprisingly polluted，” he said. “When the ice travels from one part of the Arctic to the other, it carries all that material with it.”
Winds sweep air pollution north from lower latitudes. Much of that pollution can settle into the ocean and onto sea ice. Industries along Arctic coastlines, such as gold mining and oil drilling, also can pollute the region's waters. As new ice forms in fall and winter, that pollution gets trapped inside the ice. When that ice then melts in spring and summer, it'll bring the pollution it carried back into the ocean.
In the study, the researchers put snapshots (快照) of the Arctic together. The pictures came from satellites far above the surface. They used computer software that can recognize the edges of sea ice. This allowed them to follow the movements of ice from forming to melting. To help them do that, they also included tracking buoys (浮标) on the ice that had been equipped with GPS devices.
They found about 60% of Arctic ice travels less than 100 kilometers from its birthplace. The rest covers an area equal to tens of thousands of square kilometers. It can travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. And that ice is moving faster as well.

第二节：概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Climate change could turn the Arctic Ocean into a high speed ice superhighway. Large pieces of sea ice in the Arctic are becoming thinner as old ice melts. The new ice that's replacing it travels farther and faster than the older ice had. As the younger ice travels, it carries dirt, organisms (微生物) and pollution along for the ride, new research shows.
Researchers have been tracking the movements of Arctic ice for several years. They noticed that the area covered by ice making the trip from one side of the ocean to the other has grown larger and larger. That movement means that far away reaches of the Arctic are becoming more connected, notes Robert Newton, from Columbia University.
“The speedy ice is a problem，” he explains. “The ice in the Arctic is surprisingly polluted，” he said. “When the ice travels from one part of the Arctic to the other, it carries all that material with it.”
Winds sweep air pollution north from lower latitudes. Much of that pollution can settle into the ocean and onto sea ice. Industries along Arctic coastlines, such as gold mining and oil drilling, also can pollute the region's waters. As new ice forms in fall and winter, that pollution gets trapped inside the ice. When that ice then melts in spring and summer, it'll bring the pollution it carried back into the ocean.
In the study, the researchers put snapshots (快照) of the Arctic together. The pictures came from satellites far above the surface. They used computer software that can recognize the edges of sea ice. This allowed them to follow the movements of ice from forming to melting. To help them do that, they also included tracking buoys (浮标) on the ice that had been equipped with GPS devices.
They found about 60% of Arctic ice travels less than 100 kilometers from its birthplace. The rest covers an area equal to tens of thousands of square kilometers. It can travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. And that ice is moving faster as well.
