The Day Lisa Lost
Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the many professional athletes of today who have developed a me-
first attitude. I am talking about high school sports, where lessons of life are still being learned. Here, athletes still
compete for the love of the game and their teammates. Lisa Kincaid is one of them.
I first met Lisa on the volleyball court. If anyone had a right to be cocky (自大的) or proud of herself, it was
Lisa. Besides being one of the best volleyball players in the USA, she became a track legend (传奇人物) . She went
sixty-four national games without losing any event.
However, she felt uncomfortable talking about her achievements and would usually change the conversation to
others’ performances. She often lent her shoes to someone who'd forgotten her own, or sincerely sent best wishes to
第4页/共8页
competitors from different teams.
Soon after, Lisa's impossible failure in one game impressed me a lot. Lisa's coach told her he needed her to run
the mile. She had never done so, but agreed to do what was best for the team. Lisa easily outdistanced the competition,
but on the last lap she seemed to grow tired. Jane, Lisa's teammate, passed her. Lisa managed to stay just behind Jane
and followed her across the finish line. Lisa lost an event for the first time in her track career.
Athletes in Lisa's track program needed to earn a set amount of points to gain a varsity letter (校队标志微章).
Lisa knew that Jane needed to finish first to earn a letter for the first time. Without Lisa, Jane would make it. Lisa
remembered all this as she lined up for the start of that race. It suddenly struck me why she wore a slight smile on
her face after having “lost”for the first time ever. Jane finally received her first varsity letter. And Lisa On that
day, the day she lost, she earned my respect and admiration.
49. From the passage, we can learn that Lisa_________.
A. valued the importance of respect B. intended to prove herself in the race
C. won every race she had ever entered D. cared less about what she had achieved
50. Why did Lisa wear a smile on her face after the race
A. Because she did a deal with Jane. B. Because she lent her shoes to others.
C. Because she carried out her secret plan. D. Because she already earned her varsity letter.
51. Which of the following word can best describe Lisa according to the passage
A. Generous. B. Brave. C. Patient. D. Independent.
C
Human activity is changing the temperature of the planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound
of the Earth's oceans and seas.
Scientists say the changes in the sounds of our oceans and seas affect many marine(海洋) animals—from very
small fish to huge whales. Sound travels "very far underwater," Francis Juanes told the reporter. "For fish," he
explained, "sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light. "
Sounds help fish and other marine animals survive. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds
also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Many ocean animals use sounds to find good places
to give birth. However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The
noise comes from shipping traffic, underwater oil and gas exploration, and other noisy human activity.
"For many marine species, their attempts to communicate are being masked by sounds that humans have
produced," said Duarte. The Red Sea, Duarte said, is one of the world's most important shipping passages. It is full
of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Some fish and other animals, he said, now avoid the noisiest
areas. Also, the overall number of marine animals has gone down by about half since 1970. In some parts of the ocean,
scientists now record "fewer animals singing and calling than in the past—those voices are gone," said Duarte.
Juanes and Duarte examined studies and articles about changes in noise volume(音量) and frequency in the
world's oceans. Then they put together a detailed picture of how the ocean soundscape is changing and how marine
life is affected.
Climate change, the researchers found, also affects physical processes that shape ocean sounds. These include
such things as wind, waves, and melting ice.
Some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss of marine animals. Besides, many marine animals are
第5页/共8页
showing higher levels of stress due to noise, which might also affect the immune(免疫) system.
Scientist Juanes says sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats. "In theory," he said,
"you can turn down or turn off the sound immediately. It's not like plastics or climate change, which are much harder
to undo. "
52.What can we learn from the passage
A. Sound noise may result in hearing loss of human beings.
B. Sound pollution killed most of the marine animals in the Red Sea.
C. Sound noise can influence the communication of marine animals.
D. Sound is unlikely to be a better way to sense their environment than light.
53. What's the meaning of the underlined word "passage" in Paragraph 4
A. Channel. B. Address. C. Industry. D. Company.
54. In the following paragraph, the author probably tells us__________.
A. what is the main cause of climate change
B. what should be done to reduce sound pollution
C. how to record changes in noise volume and frequency
D. how to enhance the immune system of marine animals
55. Which is the best title for the passage
A. The Future of Oceans Exploration
B. The Changes in the Sounds of Oceans
C. Sounds Help Marine Animals Survive
D. Humans are Making Oceans Too noisy

Would you turn down the chance to become a smart cookie We've been longing for quick fixes that could
increase our intelligence (智力) . Today, people hope brain training apps can be a speedy "digital pill". The more you
play, the smarter you will get - or so some apps tell us. But is this digital-shortcut(捷径) all that it seems to be
The use of games for serious purposes has become widespread with the development of the Internet. Brain
training apps are typical, frequently featured by Apple and Google's app stores. Many of such apps say that they are
hacked by "science". Even if there were agreement around what makes general intelligence, the idea that increasing
it would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day goes against our current discovery.
Several major studies have found that they have little to no effect on users’ performance. A 2021 study discovered
brain training has no significant effect on cognitive (认知的) functioning in the “real world". The positive effects
are limited to the very specific mini-games, such as memorizing lists of words or numbers, or performing mental
calculation (心算) . So, if your job needs summing quickly or remembering all your friends’ phone numbers, these
apps will do. But if you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or form a complex (复杂的)
spreadsheet, you have to look elsewhere. Yet, despite the fact that they hardly work, brain training apps play a leading
role, partly because they are regarded to be scientific and partly because users think they are fun.
As a co-creator of gamification (游戏化) noted, what is especially disappointing about these apps is that they
just aren't that fun - at least, not compared with the various thoughtful board games and video games coming out
every day. Puzzle video games see players apply their skill at reasoning, memory and concentration in a far more
第6页/共8页
challenging and engaging(吸引人的) way.
If you aren't into games, simply go for a walk or learn how to dance. They are likely to be more effective than a
brain training app in sharpening your mind. These activities might not lead to an increased IQ, but they are sure to
engage your brain deeply while having fun-something I can by no means say of brain training apps.
56. Which of the following would the author probably agree with
A. Brain training apps are supported by science.
B. Creativity can be improved with brain training apps.
C. Gaming has little to do with increasing intelligence.
D. Increasing IQ is as simple as practising a few mini-games every day.
57. According to the passage, brain training apps are still popular because____
A. they turn mental exercises into quick games.
B. they are considered both scientific and interesting.
C. they are more effective in shaping our minds than other games.
D. they have significant effects on the cognitive functioning in the “real world".
58. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. A Smart Cookie or Not B. There's No App for That
C. What will Games Lead Us to D. A Digital Pill for Intelligence
第二节：七选五（每小题 2 分，共 10 分）
从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the
world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our
daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:
Schedule yearly exams. 59 Experts advise parents to bring babies 6 to 12 months of age to the doctor for a
careful check. The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment,
including eyeglasses.
Protect against UV rays (紫外线). Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes. No matter what the season
is, it's extremely important to wear sunglasses. 60_
Give your eyes a break. Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital
products. 61 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second
break and look at something 20 feet away.
62 As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins(维生素) C and E help protect
eyesight and promote eye health.
Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses (隐形眼镜). Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their
eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting
their eyesight at risk. 63 Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious
condition.
A. Eat your greens.
B. Eye care should begin early in life.
C. They can properly protect your eyes.
