阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Olympic gold medalist Morolake Akinosun walked through the halls of her high school in Illinois in the US, surprised at how little had changed at her old high school other than the green color on the walls.

Akinosun won her medal with the 400-meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this summer. Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she’s learned since running track for Wsubonsie more than fours year ago.

Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents. “They see things you can't see,”she said. “In high school I thought I was on the top of the world.”

In Akinosun’s case, her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois, which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Bufor d-Bailey. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without my

parents,”she said.

Her parents saw Buford-Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter, something Akinosun said she didn’t understand at the time. It didn’t take long, however, for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford-Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there. Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right.

Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication. She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete.

“I always put track and field first, and then comes school,”Akinosun said. A social life comes last.

“It’s about sacrifices(牺牲). You can’t be on the track team unless you’re chosen,”she added.

Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing fully, no matter how she might feel on a given day. “I never missed a training session (环节) in my four years in college,”she said. “It’s my job; it’s what I do. Think about that when you want to sleep in.”

21. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Akinosun according to the article?

A.She is than kful to her parents for finding her the right coach.

B. She make up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school.

C. She still doesn’t want to admit that her parents helped her a lot.

D. Sh e was a big fan of Buford-Bailey in high school.

22. According to Akinosun, she became a successful athlete because ______.

A. she had great confidence in herself.

B. she always put training before anything else.

C. she was pushed by her coach to train hard.

D. she could keep a good balance between school and training.

23. The underlined word “dedication”in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. knowing oneself

B. committing fully

C. a clear purpose

D. a strong desire

24. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. How Akinosun spent her high school years.

B. The story of Akinosun’s success.

C. Being an athlete is not easy.

D. Akinosun’s advice to her schoolmates.

B

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.

Nobody knew who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probabl y the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC.

We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its uses: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times. the umbrella was allowed to be used only

by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe. the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again It became a symbol of power.

Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

28. Ancient people first used umbrellas as __________ .

A. a symbol of honor B a symbol of power

C. protection against the sun

D. protection against the rain

29. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident

A. Babylon

B. China

C. Egypt

D. Rome

30. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life.

B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages.

C. The umbrellas for woman were made colorful in ancient times.

D. The style of the umbrella hasn't changed a lot since it was invented

31. What is the passage mainly about?

B. The differences among umbrellas.

D

The latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful, and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.

The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a chocolate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.

Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells people more than just about their physi cal appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.

The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted social standards. The researchers believe it proves that people don’t want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirror lowers

the taste of unhealthy food.

However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more healthily.

32. Researchers are amazed to find that ______.

A.mirrors can help people lose weight

B. people using a fork will eat more

C. paper plates make food look nicer

D. people will eat more in front of a mirror

33. What can be inferred from the study?

A. Some teenagers got involved in it.

B. People were required to eat with a spoon.

C. People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.

D. The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.

34. According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror ______.

A. makes people judge others correctly

B. makes people well judge themselves

C. is a necessary part of people’s daily life

D. can only show the appearance of

a person

35. How does the mirror affect the taste of junk food?

A. By making people hungry.

B. By showing the social standards.

C. By attracting people to healthy food.

D. By causing a feeling of discomfort.

Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street. 38.____________ The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.
