10．As a high school athletics coach，I gave a speech about football to students and parents，aiming at getting new team members：I talked  about how"everyone  can benefit from football．This year，a worried-looking couple approached me．Their son，who had a sickly childhood，really wanted to play football．They'd tried to talk him out of it，but he had his heart set on joining the team．
When they told me his name，my heart sank．Michael was short and thin．He was a lonely kid and the constant target of other kids'jokes．I knew Michael would never make it．But so close to my"football is for everyone"speech，I told them we could give it a try．
On the opening day of practice，Michael was the first player on the field．We started a one-mile jog around the track．Repeatedly he fell，each time picking himself up．The same thing happened for weeks．But Michael put his whole heart into the training．Cradually，Michael gained strength both socially and physically．He began to laugh and most of the teammates became friendly．By the last week of practice Michael could run the mile without falling．He asked me to add a few more exercises he could work on his own．Soon，Michael ran the opening mile faster than anyone．
One day after practice，the team captain，Steve，came up to me．He was talented but lazy．He was popular with students even though he could be heartless．Steve pointed to the field where Michael was jogging all alone and asked me why he was still out there．I told Steve to ask him．The next night，I was surprised to see Steve exercising right next to Michael．
Finally our big game came-at first we were losing by twelve points．I could see that some kids  had already lost heart．But Michael was playing as hard as he could，begging the team to keep trying．Finally we won the game by one point in the final ten seconds．
At our celebration dinner，we always gave a big award to the most productive player．Steve had scored the most points that season，and everyone cheered as he received his award．"There's someone who deserves it more than I do，"Steve said，"Everything I accomplished，and everything the team accomplished this season，is thanks to one person-Michael．"The entire team cheered as Steve turned the prize over to the player who had inspired them all．

4．It was a dreadfully cold and cloudy afternoon．I was on the bus with my children，aged four and two，heading home when it started to rain．I realized this would mean a wet walk home （16）from the bus stop．
（17）Although/Though/Whilemy house was merely two blocks away，it was not a pleasant walk with one small boy asleep in the pram （手推婴儿车），the other one in a raincoat and no umbrella for myself．A pick-up truck passed us on the road．I tried to thumb a ride but failed．My little boy woke up with a start and began to cry．I（18）was convinced （convince） that thins might become worse and nobody would bother to help on such a terrible day．

11．The"Earth Hour"initiative（自发行动） started in Australia's biggest city Sydney last year when an estimated 2.2million people flicked the switch---leaving the Sydney Opera House bathed in moonlight and the Harbor Bridge blacked out．
Organizer Andy Ridley said Sydney's 60minutes of darkness generated huge interest around the world and 23other cities from the Asia Pacific，North America，Europe and the Middle East had now signed up to be part of the 2008event．
The eight latest cities to join"Earth Hour"are Atlanta，San Francisco and Phoenix in the US； Thailand's capital Bangkok； Ottawa，Vancouver and Montreal in Canada and Dublin in Ireland．They joined Australian cities Sydney，Perth，Melbourne，Canberra，Brisbane，Adelaide； Denmark's Copenhagen，Aarhus，Aalborg and Odense； the Philippine capital Manila，Fiji's biggest city Suva．Christchurch in New Zealand； Chicago； Tel Aviv and Torono．
Ridley said he expected the"Earth Hour"concept，which is managed by the conservation group WWF，to extend beyond the borders of these countries on the scheduled start time of 8：00p．m．local time on Saturday March 29．
"I think it already has become much bigger，"he said．"he idea was that anyone could do it，whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney．"
Ridley said the Sydney event，in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour，had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy．
"I know that on the night we thought we might be able to cut energy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10.1percent，"he said．
He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a"very bg visual message"to politicians that climate change must be addressed quickly．
"The problem is massive but we do make a difference when we all take action，"he said．

8．Many people think of the brain as a mystery．They don't know much about intelligence and how it works．When they do think about what intelligence is，many people believe that a person is born smart，average，or dumb---and stays that way in the whole life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle---it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．
Everyone knows that when you lift weights，your muscles get bigger and you get stronger．A person who can't lift 20pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100pounds after working out for a long time．That's because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising，the muscles shrink and you get weaker．That's why people say"Use it or lose it!"
But most people don't know that when they practice and learn new things，parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex（皮层） of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells，called neurons．The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things，these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn，the more your brain cells grow．Then，things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do----like speaking a foreign language----seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time．The result is a stronger，smarter brain．
Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals'brains．They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more"perspicacious"-----they were better at solving problems and learning new things．
71．According to the first paragraph，C．
A．our brain can remember many more things than we think
B．until now it's impossible to explain the brain's mystery
C．many people believe one's intelligence is naturally determined
D．scientists are carrying out many experiments to study intelligence

A．developing the brain
B．doing physical exercise
C．remembering things
D．learning a new language
73．What is Paragraph 3mainly about？D
A．How scientists find the secrets of the brain．
B．How changes in the muscles affect the brain．
C．The importance of the brain．
D．How the brain works．
74．What does the underlined word"perspicacious"in the last paragraph probably mean？B
A．strong
B．smart
C．popular
D．active
75．The following paragraph will most probably talk aboutC．
A．differences between animals'brains and humans'brains
B．the right environment to raise animals
C．scientists'findings about animals'brains
D．animals'development throughout history．

7．What would Barbie look like if she were average？
According to US artist Nickolay Lamm，she would be a brunette with a rounded face and a much thicker waist．
Frustrated with the unrealistic beauty standards of Barbie and her friends，Lamm took data from Disease Control and Prevention about an average 19-year-old American woman，who is about 163cm tall，with a 84-cm waist． With those measurements，Lamm created a doll．
The doll-s tagline （口号）is"Average is beautiful．"
"I think a realistic-size doll is important because when I look at current dolls on the market，they all look like supermodels，"the artist told APF．"I just had the impression that the wall of supermodels suggests that something is wrong with you if you don-t look like one．  So I created an alternative to suggest that it's OK to look like a normal person．"
The Lammily dolls，which are 27cm tall，have been on sale since last month．
Lammily also has other features． Unlike Barbie and her friends，whose pointed legs would force her to walk on all fours if she were real，Lammily has articulated（枢接的） joints-able to walk，run，and play．  The doll can even be put in a yoga position．
What's more，the Lammily dolls include a sticker package that can help to add real-life marks to the dolls，including freckles，acne，moles，and tattoos．
"You can also add minor cuts and bruises，like ones you'd get from falling down while snowboarding，"Lamm told NBC．
"I feel that，right now．  dolls are very perfect looking，when，in real life，few of us have perfect skin，"Lamm told The Huffington Post．"Things like pimples are a natural part of who we are． So，why not give dolls a real treatment？"
As The Huffington． Post said，"Getting kids used to the idea that these things are completely normal and not 6flaws'（缺陷） to be ashamed of can only be a good thing．"

38．Why did Nickolay Lamm make the Lammily doll？（No more than 14words）（2marks）Because he doesn't agree with the unrealistic beauty standards of Barbie dolls．/Because he wanted to suggest that it is OK to look like a normal person．
39．How is the Lammily doll different from Barbie dolls？（No more than 13words）（3marks）It's modeled after an average young American woman with real life features．
40．What does Lamm mean when he says，"why not give dolls a real treatment？"in the second-to-last paragraph？（No more than 1words）（3marks）Rather than having perfect looks and skins，dolls should look natural with real-life marks．
41．What is the author-s attitude toward Lammily dolls？（No more than 6words）（2marks）He/She is supportive．He/She is in favor of them．．
