  No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own hard  41 . Several years ago, I was a leader of a football team in a small school. It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 42  team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to  43  the game. Being the leader of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but we lost the game.
Thinking hard about it, we came to realize that we had to change the attitude (态 度) about our ability and potential (潜 力). We started doing anything we could to  44  a little pride. Most important, we began to treat ourselves  45  winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the  46 .Six months later, we won our first game and our second, and continued to  47 .Finally, we faced the number one team in our city. We felt that it would be still a success for us  48  we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. We beat the best team and that gave us one of the greatest  49  of our life!

  阅读材料,然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Tu Youyou, pharmacologist, born in December 1930.   Tu, winner of the 2015 Nobel Prize for the discovery of artemisinin, a kind of medicine used to fight against malaria (疟疾), has solved the problem of fighting against malaria and done a lot for scientific and technological inventions in traditional Chinese medicine and human health.
  Zhang Fuqing,war hero, born in December 1924. Zhang served as a People's Liberation (解放) Army soldier in the Liberation War and was twice given the name of War Hero. He volunteered in 1955 to work in Laifeng County, Hubei Province's remotest county,so he could give his life to the poor in the mountainous region.
  Wang Youde, desert fighter, born in September 1953. Wang led his partners to build over 600,000 mu of sand-fixation (固定) forest and managed to control nearly 1 million mu of quicksand, helpfully preventing the development of the Maowusu Desert. His work offered valuable experience to sand prevention and control in China.
 Yuan Longping, agriculturalist, born in September 1930. Yuan, the Father of Hybrid Rice, was the first person in the world to develop a hybrid rice strain, and his research on higher rice yields (产量) helped provide a solution to worldwide hunger and starvation.
( )51.Which of the following is Tu Youyou's great achievement
A.Discovering artemisinin.
B.Serving the people in the poor region.
C.Preventing and controlling sand.
D.Developing a hybrid rice strain.
( )52.Who used to be a soldier and then worked in the poor region
A.Tu Youyou.

B.He is protecting the environment.

  Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn't come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery”, focused on saving people's lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon's knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria, Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist (药学家), took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received a Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said,“If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I certainly didn't plan to revolutionise (变革) all medicine by discovering the world's first antibiotic (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
( )54.What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common
A.They succeeded in solving world problems.
B.They spent all their lives serving people.
C.They achieved a lot in the medical field.
D.They are remembered for their happiness.

D.got his fingers cut off
( )56.What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A.Not everyone can be successful.
B.The more difficulties, the better.
C.Great achievements aren't made naturally.
D.Great hopes make great men.
C
  Moderation (自我调节)
Pay attention to how you lead your life most of the time. A healthy lifestyle is one that doesn't take extremes (极端) as a way of life. Be moderate in what you do.
  Eat well
It is important to pay attention to both what you eat and how you eat. As Socrates said, “You should eat to live; not live to eat.” A different diet (饮食) with vegetables and fresh fruits is good for the brain.
  Exercise
Students must know the value of exercise because it plays a necessary part in control the stress (压力), such as, your study, your car or your week.
  Sleep

  Express yourself
The way students feel about their work and other matter in their life plays a part in a way that they deal with stress. It is advisable that students should be realistic whatever happens in their lives.
  To sum up, learning is really very important, but never at the expense (代价) of students' physical and mental health. Besides, if students feel well will be ready to face the challenges (挑战) of exams.

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for others a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure (血压).
Why are so many people sleep-deprived Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people pay more attention to work than sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep Perhaps they may listen to the advice from Dr. James Maas an expert (专家) about sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card (信用卡). When you sleep less. you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. You should pay back the hours on your ‘sleep credit card.’”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said.“Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea which is held by some people. You will be able to do more.”
( )61.What is the easiest and cheapest way to improve health
A.To eat healthy food every day.
B.To take exercise as much as possible.
C.To get medical help whenever necessary.
D.To sleep eight hours or more one night.
( )62.What does “sleep-deprived” mean in Paragraph 2
A.Having a good sleep.
B.Excited about sleep.
C.Having less sleep.
D.Interested in sleep.
( )63.According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like
A.An hour.
B.A report.
C.A credit card.
D.A piece of paper.
( )64.What is the main idea of Paragragh 5
A.Sleeping during the night is foolish.
B.People need enough sleep.
C.People have no courage.
D.People always do less work.
( )65.What is the best title of the passage
A.The Value of Sleep
B.The Value of Study
C.The Ways of Eating Less
D.The Ways of Making Money

Beethoven was born in a small city in Germany. His father always drank and his mother was a servant. They lived a poor life. Beethoven was a talented child in music. People at that time thought he was as clever as Mozart. His father wanted to make money from his talent, so he told him to practice and play music all the time. If he didn't do that, his father would be angry with him and beat him. He couldn't hear well from the age of 26 and later he heard nothing, but all these unhappy things didn't make him dislike music. He began to write symphonies at 30, and later he became a great musician.
