Without doubt, Pele is the greatest soccer player ever.Born in a small village in Brazil, Pelé grew up playing soccer like most other children of his age. Too poor to afford a soccer ball, Pele and his playmates often made one by tying together a bunch of rags. Their playing field was usually a sidewalk. Old tin cans marked where the goalposts should be. Pelé and the other boys from his neighborhood often dreamed of one clay becoming professional soccer players. At the age of eleven, Pelé was discovered by Waldemar de Brito, a former professional player. Waldemar de Brito was then the coach of the Bauru Soccer Club and he signed Pele to play for the junior Bauru team.In 1956, when Pele was fifteen, Waldemar de Brito took him to the city of Santos, Brazil, to try out for the Santos professional team. Pele immediately distinguished himself as one of the best players.In 1957, Pelé was selected to play on Brazil's national team. He scored the only goal for Brazil in the first game and another goal in the second game. Then in 1958, Pelé helped Brazil win ils first World Cup.Between 1958 and 1970, Pele played in four World Cups. He is the only person who won three World Cups. Pelé played his last game with the Brazilian national team in 1971, but he continued to play for the Sanlos team for three more years before calling it quits.Throughout his career, Pelé had an amazing ability to touch people. Once a war was suspended for two days because the Santos team had been invited to play there and people on both sides were so eager to see Pelé play.Pelé's name represents excellence in soccer. His 20-year career has yielded some of the most memorable moments in soccer histoiy. People today still refer to him as the great Pelé, the King of Soccer.1.What was Pelé's soccer playing environment like when he was young?A.Well-developed.B.Tough.C.Relaxing.D.Standard.2.What's the focus of Paragraphs 3 to 5?A.Pelé's influence.B.Pelé's achievements.C.Pelé's personal development.D.Pelé's international records.3.Why was the war in Nigeria suspended for two days?A.Nigerians were fed up with wars.B.Pelé refused to play soccer unless the war was stopped.C.Nigerians didn't want to injure Pelé.D.People wanted to see Pelé's game.4.What do we know about Pelé?A.Growing up in a soccer family influences him a lot.B.He is a selfless and generous player.C.He has a talent for soccer and practices a lot.D.He received professional training at age 15.3、Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.1.What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.2.What does the underlined word “persist” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.4.In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events4、Cities Are Turning Snails YellowIn the early and mid-20th century, if you wander through woodlands or cities of Europe, you will likely find, with an observant eye, that grove snails come in a variety of colors.Over that time, European cities have seen high-rises, concrete, and asphalt (沥青). And the snails—still common, still everywhere—have been changing, too. In the Netherlands, the results of a citizen-science project suggest that light-colored snails are becoming more common in cities. Researchers blame the urban-heat-island effect. Yellow shells, they argue, reflect more sunlight, allowing snails to stay cool in the heat.If you are interested in finding this change yourself, there is an Android app called SnailSnap. It was developed by Niels Kerstes at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center with his co-workers in 2017. The problem with citizen science, however, is that it's hard to say how reliable the data are," Kerstes says. When a citizen scientist ' uses SnailSnap to take a photo of a snail, the app also records the location. Sometimes the GPS didn't work or people disagreed on the color, but it gave Kerstes more overall confidence in the data.The team eventually compared snails from four types of habitats: farmland, natural habitats like forests, urban "green" areas like parks, and urban "gray" areas that were primarily residential, commercial, or industrial. In both types of urban setlings, they found more yellow snails. Kerstes and his co-authors think this is because of the temperature. Cities are often hotter than their surrounding areas because they've full of materials like asphalt absorbing more radiation and are relatively short of trees. Since dark ones also absorb more radiation than their yellow counterparts, they may get too hot and have to spend more time trying to escape from the sun."Organisms are evolving all the time. People just don’t walk around with this kind of consciousness," says an ecologist. But if you stop to notice snails, you may be more familiar with the evolution that's happening on sidewalks, in alleyways, and all around.1.What is the result of the urban-heat-island effect in Paragraph 2?A.Light-colored shells absorb more sunlight.B.Dark-colored snails are on the increase.C.Rising temperature results in more light-colored snails.D.Urban changes lead to the change in size of snails.2.What’s the function of SnailSnap?A.To encourage citizens to take more photos of snails.B.To introduce citizens to snails of different colors.C.To collect more data on snails from "citizen scientists".D.To call on people to work together to protect snails.3.What does the underlined word “counterparts” refer to?A.Snails.B.Habitats.C.Trees.D.Cities.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.Urban parks are suitable for all the snails.B.Evolution can happen anywhere and anytime.C.Radiation is the main reason for the fading colors of snails.D.Kerstes is worried about the data collected by citizens.5、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。
