三、阅读理解
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 that it can lead to burnout. 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.
1.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
2.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
3.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _________.
A.believing that criticism does good to their early development
B.without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence
C.in order to make them remember life's lessons
D.so as to put more pressure on them
4.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

四、答案:longer ; has increased ; Is expected ; On; their ; a; factors ; to live ; which ; comfort
解析:①考查形容词比较级。句意:根据世界健康报告,近年来,日本人的寿命比其他任何国家的人都长。根据than这个词,此处是日本人和其他国家的人做比较。故填longer。
②考查时态。句意:在最近的40年中,这个数字有所增加。本句中有时间状语for the last forty years,故应用现在完成时,又因本句主语是This figure,故填has increased。
③考查时态和语态。句意:预计到2050年将达到近1 000 000。be expected to do是固定搭配,意为“期望/ 预计/有望做某事”,本句为一般现在时,又因本句主语是it,故填is expected。

⑧考查非谓语动词。句意:日本是一个非常安全的生活场所,家庭和社区经常相距很近,这为每个日本人提供了很多安慰和支持。不定式短语to live作后置定语修饰place。故填to live。
⑨考查定语从句。句意:日本是一个非常安全的生活场所,家庭和社区经常相距很近,这为每个日本人提供了很多安慰和支持。定语从句中的关系代词指代前面整句话的意思,因有逗号隔开是非限制性定语从句,所以用which。故填which。
⑩考查名词。句意:日本是一个非常安全的生活场所,家庭和社区经常相距很近,这为每个日本人提供了很多安慰和支持。comfortable(舒服的)为形容词,应填入名词作give的宾语。故填comfort。
