题目内容

   Many sports players have not only accomplished incredible(不可思议的) acts of athleticism,but also unbelievable acts of sportsmanship. There were some 41 examples in 2014,and T ve 42 two that inspired me.

   One example of sportsmanship took place in the Sochi Olympics. Russian Anton Gafarov was hobbing(蹒跚而行) along the track,far 43 the rest of the skiers. One of his skis was*broken. He had tried to 44 with the damaged equipment. Canadian ski coach Justin Wadsworth was the only one who had a(n)45 ski. Wadsworth didn't want Gafarov to finish slowly,hobbling across the line. He wanted him to finish with 46 .The Canadian skiers were already out of the race,giving Wadsworth two 47 : Leave Gafarov to hobble across the line on one ski,or give him the spare one. Wadsworth gave him the extra ski,48 Gafarov to get second place in the quarter-finals. 49,he came in sixth in the semi-finals. It was Wadsworth who helped Gafarov 50 his Olympic dream.

   The other example took place in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final match between Brazil and Colombia. The game had just ended. Brazil had won,2-1. Brazil was 51 on the sidelines,cheering and having a good time. Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez had just had his World Cup dream 52 despite scoring a record-breaking six goals in the competition. Brazilian defender David Luiz walked over to him,pointed at him,and 53 the crowd to acknowledge him. He then declared his 54 for a game well played and 55 him for his wonderful World Cup performance. It made both the crowd and Rodriguez 56.

   As an athlete,I know it's easy to get caught up in the 57 of a game. But I also know that 58 is just as important as winning and losing.

   Always remember to 59 your opposing team. Play hard,but play fair. And always be nice. It's the right thing to do and it always 60 .

   When I went away to college,I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books.

   Since I didn't know a soul at this university,I volunteered for a dub to make friends. That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union,waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up. My assignment was to escort (护送)her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou,author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

   As showtime neared,Angelou's car pulled up. When its door opened,Angelou and a female friend exited,each wearing head-to-toe fur coats. I nervously guided the pair inside. Angelou was ready to sweep onstage,but first,there was her fur coat. I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.

   “No,” she said. She looked out at the audience. “You need to get out there and live."

   So I found a front-row seat and heard,for the first time,a book come alive in an author's own voice. The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.

   I wish I could say that my life changed then. But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact. A few years later,I became a newspaper editor,which required talking to "many people. For those times,I depended on index(索引) cards. But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.

   Today,I'm in my 50s. I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true. I get out there now and live.

   A. found a job as a newspaper editor

   It is the first day of high school. And with it'so often,comes nervousness — especially for students making the leap to high school.

   But inside the Theodore Roosevelt High School gym for freshman orientation (迎新会) , at least some of those nerves had turned into excitement.

   Juniors and seniors were leading ninth-graders through team-building activities,then walking them through their class schedule. And before they left,students planned on exchanging phone numbers to text questions later on.

   The new initiative(行动) is part of a nationally known program called Link Crew,which started at Roosevelt and was adopted as a district-wide high school program this year.

   What's unique about this initiative is the yearlong focus on peer mentoring(同龄人指导) that goes far beyond the first few days of lockers that won’t open and classrooms that can't be found.

   The idea is to build up friendships and school spirit and encourage ninth-graders to meet new friends or join activities that interest them.

   Roosevelt Principal Kevin Biggs said ,“Our freshmen will be more comfortable around peers than they will be around adults."

   Groups are designed so students meet individuals with different backgrounds and cultures. And they'11 continue to meet during the school year,attending a football game or school dance together.

   The new program is expected to develop friendships and peer-to-peer support,from helping each other through a breakup to talking through concerns about fights with friends.

   “A lot of times,students can talk to students about things that they may not feel comfortable talking to an adult about,” said Ally son Vukovich,the district's community partnership coordinator (协调者) .

   “It really changes the culture within a building,” she added, “so upperclassmen find some ownership about what goes on in their school."

25. Which word can describe the feeling of the freshmen in Theodore Roosevelt High School?

   A. Nervous. B. Afraid.

   C. Proud. D. Excited.

26. What do we know about the new initiative?

   A. It lasts through a year.

   B. It is adopted throughout the US.

   C. It was put forward by Kevin Biggs.

   D. It paired adult mentors with freshmen.

27. What's the main purpose of the new program?

   A. To develop students’ sense of responsibility.

   B. To help freshmen adjust to life in high school.

   C. To help students learn about different cultures.

   D. To teach students how to get along with others.

28. What's Allyson Vukovich’ s attitude towards the new program?

   A. Worried. B. Doubtful.

   C. Uncaring. D. Supportive.

  In my early 30s,I used an expired(过期的) student ID to buy discounted movie tickets. I'd tell myself,I'm buying a ticket I wouldn’ t have otherwise bought. I think many people have done similar things; however,we still think of ourselves as honest citizens. Researchers who study these behaviours believe that character isn 51the real reason. We might break the rules under some conditions and in some mind-sets,but not in others.

   Years ago,Francesca Gino,a professor at Harvard,and Dan Ariely,a behavioural economist at Duke,wondered if people with higher IQs were more likely to cheat. They found that cleverness wasn't closely connected to dishonesty,but creativity was. The more creative you are,the easier it is to retell the story of what happened when you behaved dishonestly.

   Harvard University psychologist Joshua Greene argues in his book Moral Tribes that we may be bom without having a clear sense of right and wrong,but our culture sharpens it. If your tribe downloads pirated(盗版的) music,you’ re likely to go with the flow.

   Harvard researcher Leslie John,along with two colleagues conducted an experiment. They told volunteers that others in the room were making more money than they were for getting questions right on a test. Guess what happened? That group,which considered itself disadvantaged,cheated more than those who believed that everyone received an equal payment.

   The real threat is that rule breaking worsens over time. Behavioural psychology offers a few antidotes. Keep yourself fed and well-rested — we’ re likelier to behave badly when hungry or tired. Reflect on how your actions look through others’ eyes and see yourselves in a positive light. In a Stanford study,when researchers used the verb cheat — please don't cheat — participants still cheated freely because they felt distanced from the act. When the noun was used — don't be a cheater — hardly anyone did.

32. According to Francesca Gino,who are likeliest to break the rules in a company?

   A. Accountants. B. Designers.

   C. Cleaners. D. Typists.

33. Why did volunteers in Leslie John's experiment cheat more than others?

   A. Because they were not as smart as others.

   B. Because they thought others cheated too.

   C. Because they felt a sense of unfairness.

   D. Because they were tired and hungry.

34. The underlined word “antidotes” in the last paragraph can be replaced by.

   A. explanations   B. solutions

   C. studies   D. novels

35. What's the best title for the text?

   A. Why people break the rules

   B. How people break the rules

   C. The influence of breaking the rules

   D. Different ways of breaking the rules
