Armand Duplantis may only be 20 years old, but he is already a track and field superstar. Duplantis had already earlier broken his own indoor pole vault（撑杆跳）world record in February of this year. Last month, he broke the __41__ world record too. At the Diamond League meeting in Rome, he cleared 6.15 meters with his second __42__, beating Sergey Bubka's mark of 6.14 meters set in July 1994.
Before Duplantis, the 6.14-meter mark was the most impossible world record known to man. Yes, it was less attainable than any short distance running, distance running, jumping or throwing event record. "I hit the mat（垫子）but I haven't really fallen back to earth," Duplantis told reporters after breaking the record. "I think I'm still up in the __43__ right now."
Nicknamed Mondo, Duplantis has been labelled as the next Usain Bolt（尤赛恩·博尔特） for his __44__ to light up the sport. The child prodigy broke age-group records on his way to joining the pole vaulting elite. In fact, he remains __45__ since the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha.
Duplantis sporting story began when he first tried pole vaulting at the age of four. Born to an American pole vaulter father and a Swedish athlete mother, Duplantis had the __46__ of growing up with a pole vault pit in his own back garden. It was a child's playground heaven, but also the perfect breeding ground for greatness. Having already set world bests at every age from seven to 12, he won the world youth title in 2015, and then the world junior and European senior titles in 2018. In summer 2019, he __47__ his first global medal as an adult with a world silver.
In the context of his __48__ of achievements, it was somewhat unsurprising that Duplantis was able to break the 26-year-old record. The most pressing question now is whether he can continue to reach new __49__. The Swede has already been selected to compete at the Tokyo Games, where he will be a favourite to win gold. "I've always tried to not put a __50__ on myself," he says. "There are endless possibilities."
II. Reading Comprehension
Directions: Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Section A
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports can have __50 effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been __51 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad __52 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main _53 of too much aggression ill children's sports. They believe children _54 _ aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that__55 is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and shout __56 _ at other players or cheer when their child behaves __57__. As well, children arc even taught that hurting other players is _ 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured _59 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches _61 should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better__62 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to __63 _ , themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that __64 is not as important as winning.

Section B
(A)
The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off ship in New York Harbor in 1949. I was a nine-year-old war refugee. who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.

A. Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B. The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.
C. Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.

57. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?
A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time. B. Her mother’s miserable death.
C. Being exposed to Greek literary works. D. Following the prettiest girl in his class.

(B)
HOW TO GET THERE
BA and Royal Jordanian airlines fly direct between London Heathrow and Jordan’s capital city Amman (from ?435; rj. com). Flight time is five hours.
HOW TO GET AROUND
Jordan is a joyfully easy country to travel around, in part due to its small size. You could drive from top to bottom in little over five hours if you wanted to. The national bus company has services between the main towns, and limited options to Petra and the Dead Sea. For full flexibility, you're better off hiring a car-roads are in good condition, and other drivers tend to be less manic (not stand up to free use of the car horn) compared to other countries in the Middle East. The traffic in Amman makes it frustrating, and nerve-wracking, to navigate, so pick up and drop off your car at the airport, a little outside of the city. The usual suspects have offices there (week’s hire from ?235; hertz. jo).
HOW LONG TO SPEND
Given the short travel times between major sites, you could feasibly whip around Jordan in little under a week, spending a night in each location. However, it’s important to factor in the weather: your pace will slow in high temperatures, and you’ll find many Jordanians sensibly spending the hottest part of the day indoors, indulging in a long lunch. You’ll also want to devote a proper amount of time to each location: two or three nights in each of Petra and Wadi Rum will allow you to get to a few less explored corners, while two nights in Amman and one each at the Dead Sea and hot springs is about right. If you add in a side trip for some diving in the Red Sea, two weeks is plenty.
WHAT TO BUDGET
Staying in budget guesthouses, eating only from markets and street stalls, and using public transport, you could survive in Jordan on around ?40 per day. Factor in a midrange hotel, car hire, guided tours and meals in local restaurants, and the figure could rise to ?100-plus a day. The national currency is the dinar（第纳尔）, and is available from ATMs at all the main sites.
WHEN TO GO
High season is September to October and March to May, when the weather is warm but bearable. Note that price hikes are common in this period, and hotels get booked far in advance. One of the most pleasant times to visit is winter, from November to February, though be aware the desert gets very cold at night during this period. If you can take the extreme temperatures of summer, it can be an excellent time to travel, with fewer tourists around.
HOW TO PLAN
See Lonely Planet’s Jordan and the Jordan tourist board’s official site, visitjordan.com, which has a wealth of information on general travel in the region and specific sites.
60. Which of the following statements is True about travelling in Jordan according to the passage?
A. Drivers in Jordan use car horn more freely than those in other countries.
B. It's better to drive your own car since the traffic in Amman is frustrating.
C. Weather should be taken into consideration when you arrange holiday.
D. Diving in Red Sea is a must if you plan to travel in Jordan for one week.
61. Which factor is NOT related with the budget according to the passage?
A. To choose what kind hotels. B. To eat what kind of food.
C. Whether to use cash or not. D. When to travel in Jordan.
62. The word “hikes” in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by the word “ ”.
A. declines B. rises C. varies D. collapses
Section C
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness.
B. The players will go all out for the games.
C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.
D. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
E. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
F. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament. ____67____ Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination(单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
____68____ The fun comes partly from guessing the winner for every game. Friends compete against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities. This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams. ____69____
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. ____70____ About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
What I think of boxing as a sport
Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. Sometimes fans are rooting for a particular boxer, moreover because the boxer comes form their own country, and if "their" boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
However, there is a negative side to boxing. It can be a very dangerous sport. Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. For example, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing, in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
To conclude, I am personally not at all in favour of aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we celebrated more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

Summary writing: 参考答案：
The author is opposed to boxing as a sport. Boxing is nowadays very popular because people, especially men, release their feelings of aggression while watching the boxing match. However, boxing can have a devastating impact on boxer’ health and even lives. Therefore, the author appeals to the public to enjoy more non-aggressive sports.

Guided Writing: (a possible version)
Nowadays, many students together with their parents are keen on taking on tutors, especially for those junior or senior students.
Some people think taking on a tutor is good for students in some ways. The tutor can answer the students’ questions individually; thus, the students can solve difficult problems as soon as possible, and it will help them make rapid progress. In addition, some tutors assign their students supplementary exercises, and as a result, the students will learn extra knowledge from their tutors.
On the other hand, some people think that the students depend too much on their tutor and they may take little notice of what their own teacher says. Besides, the tutor assigns them too much extra homework, which may make them tired of studies.
In my opinion, every coin has two sides. It is hard to say whether taking on a tutor is good or not. It all depends on the individual. If you want to take on a tutor, you should choose carefully since he or she will have a great influence on your studies.
