David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner.He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old， which led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was “living in fear for a number of years” — until he discovered his passion for running.After winning an essay contest， he attended the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides.At the Rio Games in 2016， Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold.
Brown made his way to running from another sport.He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3， and lost vision in his right eye over time.He played basketball as a kid， but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming.“I took the opportunity to run on the playground， and realised I had some speed there，” he says.
He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind.Brown started at the school when he was 11， and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running.Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing.He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome obstacles， noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.
It’s crucial to be in sync with your running partner.His new partner Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown， because he’s fast.A 10-or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking， Steward says， beyond the occasional cues.
It’s also an honor， Brown says.He notes that Paralympic runners can’t do what they do without guides like Steward， who could theoretically run solo but choose not to.He calls it “a great honor”.

Three teenage tennis stars have been amazing crowds at this year’s US Open （美国网球公开赛）. One of the athletes has left the contest because of an injury， but two others have reached the semi-finals， after defeating many famous players.
Leylah Annie Fernandez is a 19-year-old Canadian， who is small compared to many other players， and has a different playing style. She often hits the ball early， trying to make it difficult for her opponent （对手） to reach it. So far， Fernandez’s style is working wonderfully. She defeated Naomi Osaka， who’s ranked （排名） third in the world. She also defeated the world’s #5 player and #17 player.
Earlier this year， 18-year-old British athlete Emma Raducanu was ranked #339 in the world. But people began to notice when she made it to Wimbledon’s fourth round this summer. On Monday， Raducanu beat American Shelby Rogers， who had just beaten the world’s #1 female， Australian Ash Barty. Yesterday， Raducanu faced #11 Belinda Bencic who won the gold medal at this summer’s Olympics. Raducanu managed to defeat Bencic 6∶3， 6∶4. She has now reached the semi-finals.
Carlos Alcaraz， an 18-year-old from Spain， entered the US Open ranked #55 in the world. On the tournament’s fifth day， he defeated the world’s #3 player， Stefanos Tsitsipas， in a 5-set match. On Sunday， he beat Peter Gojowczyk in another 5-set match， becoming the youngest player ever to reach the quarter-finals at the US Open. On Tuesday night， Alcaraz was forced to give up in the middle of a match because of an injury in his right leg.
Many people believe that being young and unknown gives these players more freedom， since they’re playing without much pressure. Because no one expected them to win at all， no matter how far they go， they’re making progress. Many older players warn that even though it’s exciting to see young players do great things， the pressure of continuing to play well can be very difficult. They point to a long history of young players who started off strong， but had trouble continuing to play at the same level.
8.What do we learn about the young players？
A.Leylah Annie Fernandez is slow in action.
B.Emma Raducanu has made big progress.
C.Carlos Alcaraz has reached the semi-finals.
D.Shelby Rogers has beaten Emma Raducanu.
9.Which of the following probably has left the contest？
A.Leylah Annie Fernandez.
B.Emma Raducanu.
C.Carlos Alcaraz.
D.Shelby Rogers.
10.Why do the young players perform well according to the last paragraph？
A.They are not famous.
B.They practice very hard.
C.Their opponents aren’t strong.
D.Their opponents don’t work hard.
11.How does the writer develop the passage？

C.By listing some numbers.
D.By offering some reasons.

A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the state of California to operate the vehicles without backup drivers.The tests will be carried out by Cruise， the self-driving car company owned by General Motors.
Cruise reported last week that it got a permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to let the self-driving cars travel on their own.The company plans to have them operating in San Francisco by the end of this year.
Cruise is still just testing its self-driving vehicles.But it plans to offer ride-sharing services in major cities across the United States in the future.Until now， testing was only carried out with human backup drivers in all Cruise vehicles.Rules required the backup drivers to be inside the cars and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary.
Cruise has completed enough testing to feel that it is now ready to safely operate the cars without humans， said company spokesman Ray Wert.Wert said that Cruise will go neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood in San Francisco and launch the driverless vehicles slowly before spreading to the whole city.It will also hold community meetings to answer people’s questions about the program.
“We understand that this is a trust race as much as it is a technology race，” Wert told The Associated Press.“This is absolutely about making sure that we’re doing this with San Francisco.”
The approval in California followed a similar decision in Arizona.Arizona state officials approved a request by Waymo， a company owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc.， to open its ride-sharing service to the public in vehicles without human drivers.The service was launched last week in the city of Phoenix.
Steven Shladover is a research engineer at the University of California， Berkeley.Shladover says the latest moves by Waymo and Cruise are the next logical steps as the technology progresses.
“I don’t see them as revolutionary steps， but they’re part of this step-by-step progress toward getting the technology to be able to work under a wider range of conditions，” he said.
12.What will Cruise be allowed to do？
A.Produce driverless cars.
B.Begin to test driverless cars.
C.Provide ride-sharing services in America.
D.Let their driverless cars run by themselves.
13.What’s Ray Wert’s attitude to Cruise’s driverless cars？
A.Curious. B.Worried.
C.Confident. D.Surprised.
14.What do we learn about Waymo？
A.It is more traditional than Cruise.
B.It has progressed faster than Cruise.
C.Its driverless cars aren’t safe enough.
D.Its driverless cars haven’t hit the road.
15.What does Steven Shladover think of the latest moves by Waymo and Cruise？
A.They are unbelievable.
B.They involve great risks.
C.They are not surprising.
D.They are not successful.

Your body is really quite an amazing machine.But you only get one， and you can either handle it with care， or you can abuse it.
16 You can eat good food， get enough sleep， keep good hygiene， do push-ups in your room， lift weights， take time to relax， go for a walk， dance， do yoga， or try a hundred other things.For now， let’s focus on exercise.
One of my favourite movies is Forrest Gump.It’s the story of a young man who keeps winning success in spite of himself.At one point， Forrest is frustrated and confused about his life. 17 He starts to run， and keeps on running.After running back and forth from one coast to the other two and a half times， Forrest feels better and is finally able to sort his life out.
18 It’s at times like these when perhaps the best thing we can do for ourselves is to do what Forrest did： exercise ourselves better.Besides being good for your heart and lungs， exercise has an amazing way of giving you a shot of energy， melting stress away， and clearing your mind.
There’s no single best way to exercise.Some teenagers play competitive sports； some prefer running， walking， biking， skateboarding， dancing， doing yoga， or lifting weights. 19
“Pain” doesn’t have to be the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear the word “exercise”. 20 In this way， it’s easy to maintain a consistent （坚持的） workout schedule.For best results， you should exercise for thirty minutes or so， at least three times a week.
A.So what does he do？
B.What’s the best form of exercise？
C.Find something fun that you enjoy doing.
D.We all feel depressed or confused at times.
E.There are so many ways to stay physically sharp.
F.Still others just like to get outside and move around.
G.Whatever you will do， you need to keep your body healthy.

David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind
runner.He was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old， which
led him to completely lose his sight by age 13.
Brown says he was “living in fear for a number of years” — until he
discovered his passion for running.After winning an essay contest， he
attended the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.It was at that time that he
knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic runners train and compete alongside sighted guides.At the
Rio Games in 2016， Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the
men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold.
Brown made his way to running from another sport.He explains that
he lost his left eye when he was 3， and lost vision in his right eye over
time.He played basketball as a kid， but was increasingly getting injured
because he couldn’t see the ball coming.“I took the opportunity to run on
the playground， and realised I had some speed there，” he says.
He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind.Brown
started at the school when he was 11， and it was there that he really
started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running.Brown
was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in
Beijing.He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome
obstacles， noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.
It’s crucial to be in sync with your running partner.His new partner
Steward says he doesn’t have to slow down when running with Brown，
because he’s fast.A 10-or 11-second race doesn’t require much speaking，
Steward says， beyond the occasional cues.
It’s also an honor， Brown says.He notes that Paralympic runners
can’t do what they do without guides like Steward， who could
theoretically run solo but choose not to.He calls it “a great honor”.

Three teenage tennis stars have been amazing crowds at this year’s US
Open （美国网球公开赛）.One of the athletes has left the contest because
of an injury， but two others have reached the semi-finals， after defeating
many famous players.
Leylah Annie Fernandez is a 19-year-old Canadian， who is small
compared to many other players， and has a different playing style.She
often hits the ball early， trying to make it difficult for her opponent （对
手） to reach it.So far， Fernandez’s style is working wonderfully.She
defeated Naomi Osaka， who’s ranked （排名） third in the world.She
also defeated the world’s #5 player and #17 player.
Earlier this year， 18-year-old British athlete Emma Raducanu was
ranked #339 in the world.But people began to notice when she made it to
Wimbledon’s fourth round this summer.On Monday， Raducanu beat
American Shelby Rogers， who had just beaten the world’s #1 female，
Australian Ash Barty.Yesterday， Raducanu faced #11 Belinda Bencic who
won the gold medal at this summer’s Olympics.Raducanu managed to
defeat Bencic 6∶3， 6∶4.She has now reached the semi-finals.
Carlos Alcaraz， an 18-year-old from Spain， entered the US Open
ranked #55 in the world.On the tournament’s fifth day， he defeated the
world’s #3 player， Stefanos Tsitsipas， in a 5-set match.On Sunday， he
beat Peter Gojowczyk in another 5-set match， becoming the youngest
player ever to reach the quarter-finals at the US Open.On Tuesday night，
Alcaraz was forced to give up in the middle of a match because of an injury
in his right leg.
Many people believe that being young and unknown gives these
players more freedom， since they’re playing without much
pressure.Because no one expected them to win at all， no matter how far
they go， they’re making progress.Many older players warn that even
though it’s exciting to see young players do great things， the pressure of
continuing to play well can be very difficult.They point to a long history of
young players who started off strong， but had trouble continuing to play
at the same level.

A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the
state of California to operate the vehicles without backup drivers.The tests
will be carried out by Cruise， the self-driving car company owned by
General Motors.
Cruise reported last week that it got a permit from the California
Department of Motor Vehicles to let the self-driving cars travel on their
own.The company plans to have them operating in San Francisco by the
end of this year.
Cruise is still just testing its self-driving vehicles.But it plans to offer
ride-sharing services in major cities across the United States in the
future.Until now， testing was only carried out with human backup drivers
in all Cruise vehicles.Rules required the backup drivers to be inside the cars
and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary.
Cruise has completed enough testing to feel that it is now ready to
safely operate the cars without humans， said company spokesman Ray
Wert.Wert said that Cruise will go neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood in
San Francisco and launch the driverless vehicles slowly before spreading to
the whole city.It will also hold community meetings to answer people’s
questions about the program.
“We understand that this is a trust race as much as it is a technology
race，” Wert told The Associated Press.“This is absolutely about making
sure that we’re doing this with San Francisco.”
The approval in California followed a similar decision in
Arizona.Arizona state officials approved a request by Waymo， a company
owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc.， to open its ride-
sharing service to the public in vehicles without human drivers.The service
was launched last week in the city of Phoenix.
Steven Shladover is a research engineer at the University of
California， Berkeley.Shladover says the latest moves by Waymo and
Cruise are the next logical steps as the technology progresses.
“I don’t see them as revolutionary steps， but they’re part of this step-
by-step progress toward getting the technology to be able to work under a
wider range of conditions，” he said.

Your body is really quite an amazing machine.But you only get one，
and you can either handle it with care， or you can abuse it.
16 You can eat good food， get enough sleep， keep good
hygiene， do push-ups in your room， lift weights， take time to relax，
go for a walk， dance， do yoga， or try a hundred other things.For
now， let’s focus on exercise.
One of my favourite movies is Forrest Gump.It’s the story of a young
man who keeps winning success in spite of himself.At one point， Forrest
is frustrated and confused about his life. 17 He starts to run， and
keeps on running.After running back and forth from one coast to the other
two and a half times， Forrest feels better and is finally able to sort his life
out.
18 It’s at times like these when perhaps the best thing we can do
for ourselves is to do what Forrest did： exercise ourselves better.Besides
being good for your heart and lungs， exercise has an amazing way of
giving you a shot of energy， melting stress away， and clearing your
mind.
There’s no single best way to exercise.Some teenagers play
competitive sports； some prefer running， walking， biking，
skateboarding， dancing， doing yoga， or lifting weights. 19
“Pain” doesn’t have to be the first thing that comes into your mind
when you hear the word “exercise”. 20 In this way， it’s easy to
maintain a consistent （坚持的） workout schedule.For best results， you
should exercise for thirty minutes or so， at least three times a week.
A. So what does he do？
B. What’s the best form of exercise？
C. Find something fun that you enjoy doing.
D. We all feel depressed or confused at times.
E. There are so many ways to stay physically sharp.
F. Still others just like to get outside and move around.
G. Whatever you will do， you need to keep your body healthy.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。身体的重要性不言而喻，我们可以
采取多种锻炼方式来保持身体健康。
16. E 下文列举了各种各样的健身方式，E项符合语境，是本段的主
题句。
17. A 上文说明阿甘（Forrest Gump）面临的人生困境，下文是他所
采取的措施，A项承上启下，符合语境。
18. D 根据下文的at times like these （像这样的时刻）可知，D项符合
语境。
本文是一篇说明文。身体的重要性不言而喻，我们可以
采取多种锻炼方式来保持身体健康。
19. F 上文列举了两类人的健身选择（Some teenagers ...；
some ...），F项是作者列举的另一类人（Still others ...）。
20. C 上文作者指出：健身并不一定意味着“痛苦”，也就是说“健身
可以是快乐的”，故C项符合语境。
谢谢观看！
