But 16._ life was turned upside down when a motorist, 17._(distract) by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter. Four months later, Pania reluctantly but 18._

8、(courage) decided to try to educate the public and to fight 19. _ laws to ban drivers from using cell phones 20. _ a car is moving. In her first speech, Pania was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic 21. _(transform) took place. She stopp

She wanted everyone in the audience to know 24. _ she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears and to action. In subsequen

10、t presentations, Pania gained reputation 25. _ a highly effective speaker. 阅读 ASport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for y

11、oung athletes (运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about ones

12、elf. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to

13、 youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more

14、 important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters

15、 performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.26.An effective way to preven

16、t the burnout of young athletes is _.A) to make sports less competitiveB) to make sports more challenging ks5uC) to reduce their mental stressD) to increase their sense of success（C）27.According to the passage sport is positive for young people because _.A) it can help them learn more about societyB

17、) it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC) it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD) it can provide them with valuable experiences（D）28.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _.A) without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidenceB)

18、in order to make them remember lifes lessonsC) believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentD) so as to put more pressure on them（A）29.According to the passage parents and coaches should _.A) help children to win every gameB) pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC)

19、 enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD) train children to cope with stress（B）30.The authors purpose in writing the passage is _.A) to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB) to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenC) to discuss the skill of

20、 combining criticism with encouragementD) to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout（B） BAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman a

21、sked: “So, how have you been?” And the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years oldreplied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.”This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends an

22、d I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.Whether this is

23、 good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists, Why?Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social rote to another usually involves learnin

24、g the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes.

25、 It is called television, Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through pr

26、int, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.31.According to t

27、he author, feeling depressed is _.A) a sure sign of a psychological problem in a childB) something hardly to be expected in a young childC) an inevitable has of childrens mental developmentD) a mental scale present in all humans, including children（B）32.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn ab

28、out the adult world _.A) through contact with societyB) gradually and under guidanceC) naturally and by biological instinctD) through exposure to social information（B）33.The phenomenon that todays children seem adult like is attributed by the author to _.A) the widespread influence of televisionB) t

29、he poor arrangement of teaching contentC) the fast pace of human intellectual developmentD) the constantly rising standard of living（A）34.Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?A) It enables children to gain more social information.B) It develops childrens interest in

30、 reading and writing.C) It helps children to memorize and practice more.D) It can control what children are to learn.（D）35.What does the author think of the change in todays children?A) He feels amused by chair premature behavior.B) He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.C) He considers it a po

31、sitive development.D) He seems to be upset about it.（B） CPsychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and ener

32、gy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an

33、 economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. ks5uHenry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But hes also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can s

34、till ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but hes learned that young at heart doesnt mean young. Lately hes been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You cant get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological

35、 clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry theyll be mistaken for grandparents, or that theyll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core

36、 of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they wont be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn No

37、len and her husband. Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in

38、 their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”36.Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?A) Older parents are often better prepared financially.B) Older parents can take better care of their children.C) Older parent

39、s are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.D) Older parents can better balance their resources against childrens demands.（C）37.What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They are reluctant to retire when they rea

40、ch their retirement age.B) They cant obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.C) They cant get full pension unless they work some extra years.D) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.（D）38.The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that _.A) older parents shoul

41、d exercise more to keep up with their athletic childrenB) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy（C）39.Whats the biggest fear of older parents according to New Yo

42、rk psychologist Joan Galst?A) Approaching of death.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being laughed at by other people.D) Being mistaken for grandparents.（A）40.What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until the

43、y reached middle age did they think of having children.C) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.D) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.（C） DSpeeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelc

44、ome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a mi

45、cro-processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life ha

46、rder for car thieves. The pattern of vehicle crime has changed, says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal

47、, as their engine management computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways

48、 to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owners keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen.

49、The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicles movements via the cars GPS unit.41.Whats the function of the remote immobilizer fit

50、ted to a car?A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.（C）42.By saying “The pattern of vehicle cri

51、me has changed” (Lines 1-2. Para. 3), Martyn Randall suggests that _.A) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingB) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftC) the thief has to make use of computer technologyD) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years

52、 old（B）43.What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A) A coded ignition key.B) A unique ID card.C) A special cellphone signal.D) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.（A）44.Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?A) To leave

53、 time for the operations centre to give an alarm.B) To keep police informed of the cars movements.C) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.D) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.（D）45.What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A) Start the trackin

54、g system.B) Contact the car owner.C) Block the car engine.D) Locate the missing car.（B）第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是Knox 大学所提供的一些课程：A. German 202B.

He

71、 graduated from Harvard University, where he majored in Economics. Being a member of the university basketball team, the player made a great contribution to the championship. Though turned down in NBA draft, he signed a contract with Warriors on 21st, July, 2010, becoming the first Chinese American

72、to join NBA. Nicknamed as “Linsanity”, he has been a new star with a brilliant future in NBA.读写任务ks5uBy comparing a quotation from Lei Fengs diary with “Xiao Yueyue Incident”, the author draws a conclusion that with the development of living standard, the country has witnessed a decline of social mo

73、rality.With the fast development of the society, it seems that we are on the edge of losing some good morals which has been cherished by Chinese as an important part of Chinese culture, helping others included. In the first place, the society should be to blame for the decline. The society put too m

74、uch emphasis on personal interest, money and time, which leads to many peoples unwillingness to give a helping hand to others in need. In the second place, some people are afraid of being involved in troubles. However, tough as the reality is, it is never too late to do something to waken our consci

75、ence. As a saying goes, human being are born with good morals. Thus, it is not that people are all cold-blooded, but that they live in such a social atmosphere where people dont realize the importance of mutual help. Thus, as far as I am concerned, it is education that is to sow a seed of good moral

76、s in peoples mind. Not only should education teach people skills and knowledge, but also should lay stress on good morals. Whats more, the government should encourage the public to help each other by rewarding those who help others.A Chinese proverb goes like this：“Do not fail to do good even if its

77、 small; do not engage in evil even if its small.” To promote Lei Feng spirit, we can first start with small things that happen around us. Giving a helping hand is not difficult. For example, dont hesitate to give whatever you can to a beggar instead of passing by coolly. No matter it is a coin or a

78、warm smile, you are making a great difference to his life, which is similar to shedding a bright light into a dark room. In addition, your helping hand is beneficial but not enough for a whole society. Things should be done to make sure that you are not alone in helping others. When helping others,

79、you are also setting a good example for those standers-by. Modern communication devices like blogs can also help to appeal to the public to contribute.In a word, human beings are originally good in heart. By gathering every piece of goodness together, we will not ks5u be far from creating a harmonious and friendly society. 高考资源网版权所有，侵权必究！
