A
When
I
was
growing
up,
I
had
an
old
neighbor
named
Doctor
Gibbs.
He
didn't
look
like
any
doctor
I'd
ever
known.
He
never
yelled
at
us
for
playing
in
his
yard,
but
was
always
very
kind.When
Doctor
Gibbs
wasn't
saving
lives,
he
was
planting
trees.
He
had
some
interesting
theories
about
planting
trees.
He
believed
in
the
principle:
"No
pains,
no
gains".
He
hardly
watered
his
new
trees,
which
flew
in
the
face
of
conventional
wisdom.
Once
I
asked
why
and
he
told
me
that
watering
plants
spoiled
them
because
it
made
them
grow
weaker.
He
said
you
had
to
make
things
tough
for
the
trees
so
that
only
the
strongest
could
survive.
He
talked
about
how
watering
trees
made
them
develop
shallow
roots
and
how,
if
they
were
not
watered,
trees
would
grow
deep
roots
in
search
of
water.
So,
instead
of
watering
his
trees
every
morning,
he'd
beat
them
with
a
rolled-up
newspaper.
I
asked
him
why
he
did
that,
and
he
said
it
was
to
get
the
tree's
attention.
Doctor
Gibbs
died
a
couple
of
years
after
I
left
home.
Every
now
and
then,
I
walked
by
his
house
and
looked
at
the
trees
that
I'd
watched
him
plant
some
twenty
five
years
ago.
They
were
all
tall
and
strong.
I
planted
a
couple
of
trees
myself
a
few
years
ago.
Two
years
of
attending
these
trees
meant
they
grew
up
weak.
Whenever
a
cold
wind
blew,
their
branches
trembled.
Adversity(逆境)
seemed
to
benefit
Doctor
Gibb's
trees
in
ways
comfort
and
ease
never
could.
Every
night
before
I
go
to
bed,
I
check
on
my
two
sons.
I
often
pray
that
their
lives
will
be
easy.
But
lately
I've
been
thinking
that
it's
time
to
change
my
prayer.
I
know
my
children
are
going
to
meet
with
hardship.
There's
always
a
cold
wind
blowing
somewhere.
What
we
need
to
do
is
to
pray
for
deep
roots,
so
when
the
rains
fall
and
the
winds
blow,
we
won't
be
torn
apart.
21.
With
the
trees
planted,
Doctor
Gibbs
often
__________.
A.
paid
little
attention
to
them
B.
kept
watering
them
every
morning
C.
talked
to
them
to
get
their
attention
D.
beat
them
to
make
them
grow
deep
roots
22.

does

author
think
of
the
way
Doctor
Gibbs
planted
trees
A.
Strange
and
harmful.
B.
Interesting
and
funny.
C.
Cruel
and
unacceptable.
D.
Original
and
reasonable.

prayer
does
the
author
wish
for
his
sons

like
Dr
Gibbs
in
the
future.
B.

much
to
worry
about.
D.
Have
good
luck,
encountering
less
hardship
in
their
life.

be
the
best
title
of
the
passage

my

How
to
Be
a
Winner
Sir
Steven
Redgrave
Winner
of
5
Olympic
Gold
Medals
“In
1997
I
was
found
to
have
developed
diabetes
(糖尿病).
Believing
my
career
was
over,
I
felt
extremely
low.
Then
one
of
the
specialists
said
there
was
no
reason
why
I
should
stop
training
and
competing.
That
was
the
encouragement
I
needed.
I
could
still
be
a
winner
if
I
believed
in
myself.
I
am
not
saying
that
it
isn’t
difficult
sometimes.
But
I
wanted
to
prove
to
myself
that
I
wasn't
finished
yet.
Nothing
is
to
stand
in
my
way.”
Karen
Pickering
Swimming
World
Champion
“I
swim
4
hours
a
day,
6
days
a
week.
I
manage
that
sort
of
workload
by
putting
it
on
top
of
my
diary.
This
is
the
key
to
success
—you
can’t
follow
a
career
in
any
field
without
being
well-organized.
List
what
you
believe
you
can
achieve.
Trust
yourself,
write
down
your
goals
for
the
day,
however
small
they
are,
and
you’ll
be
a
step
closer
to
achieving
them.”Kirsten
Best
Poet
&
Writer
“When
things
are
getting
hard,
a
voice
inside
my
head
tells
me
that
I
can’t
achieve
something.
Then
there
are
other
distractions,
such
as
family
or
hobbies.
The
key
is
to
concentrate.
When
I
feel
tense,
it
helps
a
lot
to
repeat
words
such
as
‘calm’,
‘peace’
or
‘focus’,
either
out
loud
or
silently
in
my
mind.
It
makes
me
feel
more
in
control
and
increases
my
confidence.
This
is
a
habit
that
can
become
second
nature
quite
easily
and
is
a
powerful
psychological(心理的)
tool.”
25. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about
A. Difficulties influenced his career.
B. Specialists offered him medical advice.
C. Training helped him defeat his disease.
D. He overcame the shadow of illness to win.
26. What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary
A. Her achievements.
B. Her daily happenings.
C. Her training schedule.
D. Her sports career.
27. According to the passage, what do the three people have in common
A. Courage.
B. Devotion.

C. Hard work.
D. Self-confidence.
C
A
couple
of
days
ago,
as
the
test
results
came
out,
my
son
and
a
group
of
his
13-year-old
friends
piled
into
the
back
seat
of
my
car,
ready
for
the
last-day-of-school
party
at
McDonald's.
“Jack
got
a
laptop
for
getting
straight
A's,
and
Laurie
got
a
cell-phone,”
one
boy
said.
“Oh,
yeah,
and
Sarah
got
an
iPad,
and
she's
only
in
third
grade,”
said
another.
“And
how
about
Brian
He
got
$10
for
each
A.”I
suddenly
became
concerned.
These
payoffs
might
get
parents
through
grammar
school,
but
what
about
high
school
and
beyond
What
would
be
left
after
the
electric
guitar,
the
cell-phone,
and
the
DVD
player
I
saw
the
road
ahead: As
the
homework
load
increased,
my
income
would
decrease. I
saw
my
comfortable
lifestyle
disappear
before
my
eyes
—
no
more
of
those
$5
bags
of
already-peeled
organic
carrots.
No
more
organic
anything!
I
started
to
feel
surprised
and
nervous.
Would
every
goal
achieved
by
my
two
children
fetch
a
reward
A
high
grade
point
average
A
good
class
ranking
Would
sports
achievements
be
included
in
this
reward
system:
soccer
goals,
touchdowns
What
about
the
orchestra
Would
first
chair
pay
more
than
second
I'd
be
penniless
by
eighth-grade
graduation.
“We
never
paid
anything
for
good
grades,”
said
my
neighbor
across
the
street,
whose
son
was
recently
accepted
at
MIT.
“He
just
did
it
on
his
own.
Maybe
once
in
a
while
we
went
out
for
pizza,
but
that's
about
it.”
Don't
you
just
hate
that
We're
all
running
around
looking
for
the
MP3
player
with
the
most
updates,
and
she’s
spending
a
few
dollars
on
pizza.
She
gets
motivation;
we
get
negotiation.
And
what
about
the
primary
grades
What
do
these
students
get
“When
the
teacher
asked
if
anyone
got
rewards
for
good
grades,
everyone
in
my
class
raised
their
hands
and
said
they
got
ice
cream
cones
,”
said
one
third-grader.

D
Children
who
spend
more
time
outdoors
may
have
a
lower
risk
of
becoming
nearsighted,
new
research
suggests.
In
the
study,
researchers
looked
at
about
1,900
schoolchildren.
The
scientists
found
that
the
kids
who
had
been
instructed
to
spend
more
time
outdoors
over
three
years
were
23
percent
less
likely
to
develop
nearsightedness
during
this
time
than
those
who
had
not
been
instructed
to
spend
more
time
outdoors.
Moreover,
among
the
kids
who
did
become
nearsighted
during
the
study,
the
degree
to
which
their
eyesight
worsened
was
slightly
smaller
among
those
who
spent
more
time
outdoors.
The
researchers
selected
six
schools
and
required
the
children,
whose
average
age
was
7
at
the
start
of
the
study,
to
attend
one
additional
60-minute
class
of
outdoor
activities
during
each
school
day
for
three
years.
The
parents
of
these
children
were
also
encouraged
to
engage
their
children
in
outdoor
activities
after
school,
especially
during
weekends
and
holidays.
The
other
half
of
the
children,
from
another
six
schools,
continued
their
usual
activity
patterns.
After
three
years,
30.4
percent
of
the
kids
in
the
intervention(干预)
group
had
become
nearsighted,
compared
with
38.5
percent
of
the
kids
in
the
other
group.It
is
not
clear
exactly
why
spending
more
time
outside
would
benefit
children’s
eyesight,
the
researchers
said.
However,
some
research
has
suggested
that
the
higher
levels
of
light
intensity
found
outdoors
may
increase
the
release
of
the
chemical
dopamine(多巴胺)
of
the
eye.
In
turn,
dopamine
is
known
to
restrain（抑制）
the
type
of
growth
in
the
eye
that
is
associated
with
nearsightedness.
Based
on
the
new
results,
the
researchers
recommend
that
children
spend
more
time
outdoors
because
of
the
potential
benefits
to
their
eyesight.
However,
it’s
important
to
protect
kids’
skin
and
eyes
from
UV
light,
which
can
be
damaging.
32.
What
did
the
children
in
the
intervention
group
do
during
each
school
day
A.
Attend
an
extra
class
of
outdoor
activities.
B.
Continue
to
do
their
usual
activities.
C.
Spend
one
hour
in
doing
eye
exercises.
D.
Participate
in
outdoor
activities
with
parents.
33.
What
can
be
inferred
about
the
chemical
dopamine
A.
It
can
contribute
to
poor
sight.
B.
It
can
damage
people’s
brain.
C.
It
is
beneficial
to
eyesight.
D.
It
means
low
levels
of
light
intensity.
34.
What
may
be
discussed
in
the
following
paragraph
A.
How
to
design
outdoor
activities
for
kids.
B.
How
to
prevent
kids
becoming
nearsighted.
C.
How
to
protect
kids’
skin
and
eyes
from
UV
light.
D.
How
to
encourage
kids
to
join
in
outdoor
activities.
35.

根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
practice
perseverance
more
often,
and
never
give
up
a
thing
because
it
was
hard
or
inconvenient.
36
“There
are
only
two
creatures,”
says
a
proverb,
“who
can
surmount(越过)
the
pyramids
—
the
eagle
and
the
snail.”
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
school
myself
into
a
habit
of
attention.
I
would
let
nothing
come
between
me
and
the
subject
in
hand.
37
The
habit
of
attention
becomes
part
of
our
life,
if
we
begin
early
enough.
I
often
hear
grown-up
people
say,
“I
could
not
fix
my
attention
on
the
lecture
or
book,
although
I
wished
to
do
so,”
and
the
reason
is,
the
habit
was
not
formed
in
youth.
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
cultivate
courage.
“Nothing
is
so
mild
and
gentle
as
courage,
nothing
so
cruel
and
pitiless
as
cowardice
(怯懦),”
says
a
wise
author.
38
The
fear
of
ill
exceeds(超过)
the
ill
we
fear.
Dangers
will
arise
in
any
career,
but
presence
of
mind
will
often
conquer
the
worst
of
them.
39
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
look
on
the
cheerful
side.
Life
is
very
much
like
a
mirror:
if
you
smile
upon
it,
it
smiles
back
upon
you;
but
if
you
frown
and
look
doubtful
on
it,
you
will
get
a
similar
look
in
return.
Inner
sunshine
warms
not
only
the
heart
of
the
owner,
but
of
all
that
come
in
contact
with
it.
40
I
might
write
pages
on
the
importance
of
learning
very
early
in
life
to
gain
that
point
where
a
young
boy
can
stand
straight
and
decline
doing
an
unworthy
act
because
it
is
unworthy.
Finally,
instead
of
trying
hard
to
be
happy,
as
if
that
were
the
sole
purpose
of
life,
I
would,
if
I
were
a
boy
again,
try
still
harder
to
make
others
happy.
A.
If
we
want
light,
we
must
conquer
darkness.
B.
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
school
myself
to
say
“No”
oftener.
C.
We
too
often
borrow
trouble,
and
expect
that
may
never
appear.
D.
I
would
remember
that
a
good
skater
never
tries
to
skate
in
two
directions
at
once.
E.
If
I
were
a
boy
again,
I
would
demand
of
myself
more
courtesy
towards
my
companions
and
friends
and
indeed
towards
strangers
as
well.
F.
Perseverance
can
sometimes
equal
genius
in
its
results.
G.
Be
prepared
for
any
fate,
and
there
is
no
harm
to
be
feared.

Most
people
need
to
hear
“I
love
you”.
Once
in
a
while,
they
hear
them
just
41
.
I
met
Connie
the
day
she
was
42
to
the
hospice
ward
(病房)
,where
I
worked
as
a
43
.
Her
husband,
Bill,
stood
nervous
nearby
as
she
was
44
to
the
hospital
bed.
While
Connie
was
in
the
final
45
of
her
fight
against
cancer,
she
was
46
.
Connie
was
a
47
.
As
we
became
acquainted
,
she
confided
(吐露)
how
48
it
was
to
be
married
32
years
to
a
man
who
often
called
her
“a
silly
woman”.
“I
know
Bill
loves
me.
“she
said.”
But
he
has
never
been
one
to
say
he
loves
me,
or
send
cards
to
me.
I’d
give
anything
if
he’d
say
‘I
love
you’,
but
it’s
just
not
in
his
49
.”
Soon,
when
Connie
had
fewer
50
moments,
I
began
spending
more
of
my
volunteer
time
with
Bill.
One
day,
I
got
him
on
the
51
of
women,
how
we
need
romance
in
our
lives
and
how
we
love
to
got
sentimental
cards.
“I
don’t
have
to,”
he
said.
“She
knows
I
do!”
“I’m
sure
she
knows,”
I
said,
“but
she
needs
to
hear
what
she
has
52
to
you
all
these
years.
Please
think
about
it.”
Two
days
later
I
walked
down
the
hospice
ward
at
noon.
There
stood
Bill,
leaning
53
the
wall
in
the
hallway
and
staring
at
the
floor.
I
already
knew
Connie
had

at
11
a.m.
When
I
saw
Bill,
his
face
was
wet
with
55
and
he
was
56
.
He
said,
“I
have
to
say

good
I
feel
about
telling
her.
He
stopped
to
57
his
nose.
“This

I
told
her
how
much
I
loved
her…and
loved
being
married
to
her.
You

to
say

to
Connie.

on
the
bedside
table,
was
a

Valentine
59

version:
Last
December
5th
our
class
organized
an
activity
to
celebrate
the
International
Volunteer
Day.
We
decided
to
spend
the
afternoon
doing
something
for
our
school
instead
of
having
classes.
At
the
beginning
of
the
first
class
in
the
morning,
we
gathered
in
our
classroom
and
our
monitor
told
us
what
we
would
do.
As
soon
as
we
were
divided
into
four
groups
we
began
to
work
separately.
I
was
in
Group
1.
My
classmates
and
I
were
responsible
for
the
security
of
the
school.
We
patrolled
the
campus
with
the
guard
to
make
sure
everyone
was
safe
at
school.
The
students
of
Group
2
went
to
the
garden
to
take
care
of
the
plants.
Some
were
watering
the
flowers
and
trees
while
the
others
were
trimming
the
bush.
The
third
group
helped
the
cook
prepare
for
the
dishes.
They
washed
the
vegetables
and
cut
them
into
small
pieces.
Group
4
worked
in
the
lab
where
they
cleaned
the
test
tubes
and
put
them
in
good
order.
Having
got
the
work
done
we
all
felt
a
sense
of
achievement.
At
the
end
of
the
last
afternoon
class
we
got
together
again
in
our
classroom
and
elected
the
top
ten
volunteers
for
the
day.
What
a
valuable
experience
I
had
in
the
high
school!
I’ll
remember
it
forever.
