For the disabled sisters, who both have spina bifida (脊柱裂), it may have seemed that all hopes were lost at that time. But after being adopted by a British couple, they have become two of the country's most promising wheelchair basketball stars.In 2005, the Haizes adopted them. Then, they moved to the UK when Joy was six and Miriam was seven. The girls discovered the wheelchair basketball through a chance conversation, which Mr. Haize had with a friend in 2011. They hadn't known wheelchair sports before, but Joy was hooked from the beginning.While Miriam loved the sport, it took her a little longer to become a serious athlete. “I used to have really low self-respect,” she said. “It's only when Joy got into the Under 25s Europ ean Championships in 2013 that I started to take basketball seriously. It gave me a path to follow.” Miriam was then chosen to play at both regional trials and the Sainsbury's School Games in 2014. Of course, she earned herself a place at the famous GB Futures training camp. “GB Futures helped me a lot. It helped me take basketball to another level and learn more about the game and its history. It also helped me be more independent,” said Miriam. Meanwhile, Joy is currently the youngest player on the GB women's team — but she is making her mark on the international stage, having represented Great Britain in tournaments (锦标赛) all over the world.The teenagers are now eager to encourage others to explore the world of wheelchair sports. “You should have c onfidence in yourself. That's the one thing to help you succeed. Having setbacks helped me grow into a person and player. No matter what people said to us, we just tried our best,” said the girls.4.What happened to Joy and Miriam when they were born?A. They were adopted by a British couple.B. They were abandoned to an orphanage.C. They moved to the UK with their parents.D. They lived with parents in an orphanage.5.The sisters first got to know the wheelchair basketball from ________.A.GB Futures training campB. their P.E. teacher by chanceC. a conversation in a TV programD. a talk between their father and his friend6.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the Haizes aimed to train Joy to become the world championB. Joy set a good example to Miriam in the wheelchair basketballC.it took Joy a long time to take the wheelchair basketball seriouslyD. Miriam is the youngest player on the women's basketball team7.What suggestion did the disabled sisters give to others?A. Put your heart into work!B.A good beginning is half done!C. All roads lead to Rome.D. Believe in yourself!CInternet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptomsSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens —or too little, for that matter —might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about "depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken into account.Since teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.8.How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A. More than two hours.B. More than eight hours.C. More than twelve hours.D. More than ten hours.9.What’s the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues’ study?A. To know the actual number of teenagers online.B. To know the actual time of teenagers online.C. To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D. To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.10.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. Separated.D. Capable.11.According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A. Non-users of Internet aren’t likely to be depressed.B. Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users.C. Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D. Non-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.DA study, conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and Anna Popova of Stanford University, looked at 19 programs around the world in which individuals were given cash transfers (汇款)from the government, either as a handout or as a “reward” for something like getting kids to school on time or taking them to the doctor for checkups.Evans and Popova looked at the impact those cash transfers had on the family budget and whether or not they led to an increase in spending on alcohol and cigarettes .What they found was that they almost always led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases.The news may surprise some people, b ut it’s true, and the researchers have several theories about why.One theory is that the cash transfer made things possible that once seemed impossible. Investing in their kids’ education or buying healthier and more expensive foods may be within rea ch now, but without the cash handout, these goals weren’t even a possibility. So families cut back on other expenses (like alcohol and tobacco) to make those dreams a reality.Another theory is that people just generally seem to do what they’re told. If they are given money and told to use it for their family’s welfare, in most cases, they will do just that. And that leads to the third theory: These cash transfers are usually given to women, and studies show that when women control the purse strings, more money is spent on taking care of their children.Whatever the reason for the trend, the data is clear—families that receive cash handouts don’t waste the money on booze and cigarettes as was previously thought. Instead, they typically use that mone y for the benefit of their families. And that’s money well spent.12.The study proves that .A. cash transfers help poor families get what would seem unavailable otherwiseB. cash should be given to poor people as a reward for something good for kidsC. given cash handouts, poor people would spend the money on alcohol and tobaccoD. poor people would save the cash given by the government for emergency needs13.A cash transfer led to a reduction in a family’s alcohol and tobacco purchases because.A. the education gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol and tobaccoB. the money previously for alcohol and tobacco would help realize their dreamC. buying healthier and more expensive foods left less money for alcohol and tobaccoD. that was the promise made before the cash transfer was given to the poor family14.In paragraph 5, when the author said “women control the purse strings”, he just meant “”.A. women are told what to doB.women are given the moneyC.women know what to do with the moneyD.women have the final word for money15.The passage mainly tells us .A.how the study was carried outB.why cash transfer is preferredC.the findings of a study and explanations to themD.the theories for a study about cash transfers第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。

Eight months later, I began to come out of the fog of sadness and depression to find a new purpose for my life.Like many of my generation, I had lived only for myself —traveling, acquiring possessions, rising to a position of importance and seeking financial rewards. I was “charitable” and “volunteered” for various causes, but really didn’t give of myself.In the spring after my mom’s death, I found myself waking in the middle of the night with one thought. I felt forced to offer myself as a living kidney donor. My husband Robb had received the gift of life through a kidney transplant(移植)from a dead donor in 1999, so I was familiar with the enormous need for donors and knew several people who were waiting for a lifesaving transplant. I decided to offer myself to be matched with the most compatible(互不排斥的)person on the waiting list at my local transplant center.I was paired with 71-year-old Dee from New Jerse who had survived for six years on peritoneal dialysis(腹腔透析). At her 70th birthday, her family threw a big party as they did not expect her to live much longer. Dee has become my very good friend. Almost two years after the transplant, I was privileged to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband, their five children and their extended family.In donating my kidney, I extended myself in a way far beyond what I ever believed was possible. I did so in honor of my mother who sacrificed so much for me and my sisters, and in memory of my husband’s donor who extended her 1ife through him.I encourage all who enjoy the gift of good health to share with others, either as a living donor or by appointing organ donation upon death. By extending yourself through organ donation, you will live on through others in an extraordinary way and give comfort to your loved ones.5. What does the underlined phrase “give of” mean?A. Relieve.B. DevoteC. AppreciateD. Forgive6. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Dee was the author’s old friendB. The author attended Dee’s birthday partyC. Dee treated the author as a family memberD. The author’s donation made Dee live six years longer7. What would be the best title for this text?A. An old lady benefited from organ donationB. The memory of my beloved motherC. The deep meaning of loveD. Extend yourselfCOur modern working lives are ruled by the concept of competence．The idea that lies behind competence is quite simple：that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms，and then measure whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not．We rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving competence is a good one or not．In fact，it is a controversial one．Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the concept of competence．Take the example of a barista(咖啡师)who is being trained to make coffee．The job title of“barista”suggests a degree of skill in making coffee．However，baristas in large coffee chains are usually trained through competence-based qualifications．One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a minimum standard．It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance．This might seem perfectly reasonable，but there are two reasons why such an approach to training baristas does not work．First，the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary(二次元的)outcome．The baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot．If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world，it does not matter，as competence-based training does not reward outstanding performance．Likewise，producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same way as producing a cup just below the standard．In fact，competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all—only the final binary outcome．Second，if the barista does produce a coffee to a certain standard，competence is not interested in why the barista can do that．But humans are not machines that simply produce binary outcomes．We have bodies and minds which change through learning．Yet we are increasingly forced to achieve competence in our schools and workplaces．We are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomes．If we want to be true human in our learning and our workplaces，we need to be creative and special．Learning and innovation(创新)involve failure in aiming forsomething that is unusually good．Such things simply cannot be judged by the standard of competence where the mediocre is the gold standard．8. Why is the approach to training baris tas unreasonable in the author’s eyes?A. It makes the outcomes rather unexpected．B. It encourages low standards in workplaces．C. It can’t improve baristas’motivation in work．D. It ignores the fact that humans are not machines．9. How does the author argue his main point?A. By giving an example and explaining．B. By criticizing the opposite point．C. By examining differences．D. By offering statistics．10. What does the underlined word“mediocre”in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Special skill．B. Great creativity．C. Average quality．D. Outstanding ability．11. What is probably the main purpose of the author in writing the text?A. To introduce new forms of learning and training．B. To explain how people learn and work nowadays．C. To state hu man beings’advantages over machines．D. To deny the general rule of measuring competence．DThey say the average person makes 35, 000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fa il to notice. “There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers, ”explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: At one end, there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker--all written by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes. At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence.“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s? ”Therese wondered. “Men are respected as decision makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because there’s thiscultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.”So, Therese began to pick apart the stereotypes (固有印象) to see what scientific research had found. “Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making equally. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years, teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. Otherwise, there’s little difference between the genders.”However, there are some differences. “Women are more cooperative, ” says Therese, “A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice. Women ask for input, which helps make better decisions. However, this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make different choices, and the outcomes are often better when women are involved.Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react very differently.During their study, which involved playing a virtual gambling (赌博) game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smart decisions-quitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets. But when the men became stressed, they did the opposite, risking everything for a slim chance of a big win.12. Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?A. Women are less respected as decision makers.B. Women are not equally treated in workplaces.C. Women are unable to make smart choices.D. Women are poor at making big decisions.13. What is women’s weakness in decision-making according to Therese Huston?A. Men can make quicker decisions than women.B. Women easily get stressed when making decisions.C. Women are likely to ask for input when making decisions.D. Teenage girls are 1ess able to make decisions than teenage boys.14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Women show less confidence in times of stress.B. Men tend to make risky decisions in times of stress.C. Men demonstrate great bravery in times of stress.D. Women quit making decisions when ahead in games．15. What’s Therese’s final conclusion according to the text?A. Women are brilliant as decision makers.B. Men are weaker in making smart decisions.C. We should give up all cultural beliefs about gender.D. Great difference exists between the two genders in decision-making.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。
