题目内容

【题目】DirectionsComplete the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

What do Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Dijokovic and Andy Murray have in common? Sure, they’re all tennis champions but each has also struggled with serious injury.

Future stars of the sport may soon get help from a technology used in Hollywood—motion capture technology. 1 According to scientists from Britain’s Coventry University, it is now being used to help tennis players avoid injury.

The researchers use a new type of motion capture technology sensor and their own software. 2 The resulting data can help players avoid injury and, more importantly, it can help improve training.

Players wear a special suit containing 17 sensors. The sensors can capture detailed data and transmit it to a computer. The information is used to create a 3D moving figure of the player. Their bones, joints and muscles, as well as the movement of the ball and racquet can all be seen on the screen.

3 It can record far more detail than the naked eye can pick up. The programme can also analyze the data. It gives coaches and doctors a wide range of information about the player. For example, the speed of the racquet, the weight placed on muscles and joints, and the movement the player goes through as they hit a ball.

With this information, coaches get a far greater understanding of what goes on inside the player’s body. They can know how the game affects the players’s body and how their movement impacts on their game. 4 They can also record how the changes affect their game, as well as show them how to avoid injury.

The motion capture technology also enables the coaches to quantitatively compare the movement of different players, so that players can learn from others. Players can also store a record of their action in the event of(倘若发生)injury or a decline in performance.

The team has already started using the equipment with coaches at Edgbaston Priory Tennis Club in Birmingham.

A. Thirteen-year-old player Joe Hart didn’t notice them while playing.

B. Thus, they can encourage the player to make adjustments in specific areas.

C. This technology has been commonly used in Hollywood movies to add special effects to moving characters.

D. That technology might particularly have benefited Andy Murray.

E. The unique combination gives all round 3D detail for the first time about how players play tennis.

F. The process is all done through BoB, a computer program developed by the university.

Living a Life Full of Wild Adventures

Helen Skelton was brought up on a remote farm, and her family wasn't full of "runners and rock climbers". However, she has since travelled the world on 1 series of record breaking adventures. The former Blue Peter presenter has kayaked(划皮划艇)down the Amazon River, cycled to the South Pole and done a tightrope walk between the chimneys of Batter-sea Power Station in London. Now, Skelton 2 (share) the secrets of her success in a new book called Wild Girl: How to Have Incredible Outdoor Adventures.

3 she's got plenty of stamps in her passport, Skelton says you don't need to go to the Amazon or Antarctica in order to have an adventure - there's plenty to do here in the UK. She grew up in Cumbria, and would go bike-riding and skateboarding with her mum, as well as building rafts. She hopes to pass on these adventures to her own children.

Despite the title, Skelton says that the book isn't just for girls. She believes adventure is a leveller - an activity 4 men and women are equal. Adventures 5 also be educational. Skelton says when you're at the mercy of the elements you have to adapt and be flexible, which is a great lesson for life.

Of all the places she 6 (be) to, Skelton says the South Pole was particularly hard. "It's like living in a freezer. It's the windiest, driest, coldest place on Earth." Skelton explains, "You can't even put up your tent, which is your only shelter, 7 putting on huge gloves, otherwise you'll get a frostbite. 8 (put) up a tent in oven gloves isn't easy."

Her advice to any aspiring adventurers would be to "not worry about 9 comments other people might make. When I said I'm going to kayak the Amazon, people told me that's madness. And, if I had listened to them, I never would have done 10 of it. So just try."

【题目】 A single cigarette sold on a street corner may not cost a lot; however, the whole costs of smoking are huge.

First, consider the cost of human life. About 10 people die of a tobacco-related disease every minute. Most of these preventable deaths happen in low-income and middle-income countries. The World Bank says each of these countries has a total national income of less than $ 12,746.

The World Health Organization says tobacco kills 6 million people yearly -a number that is expected to rise to 8 million by 2030 unless immediate action is taken.

But smoking costs more than the life of a person. It can affect the health of the whole country. The World Health Organization says low-income countries depend heavily on taxes from cigarettes. They use the money, in part, to pay the costs of health care for tobacco-related diseases.

But the illegal trade in tobacco products is further testing the economies of low-income countries. WHO officials say the illegal trade earns about $ 31 billion every year.

Douglas Bettcher is the director of the W HO s Department for the Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases. He calls the illegal trade a monster with many heads. He says the trade enables young people to buy cigarettes at low prices, become addicted to tobacco and suffer from serious health problems. It also increases crime and reduces taxes.

The World Health Organization is strongly suggesting that the U. N. member states sign an agreement to end the illegal trade in tobacco products. Eight countries have agreed to the agreement. But the agreement of 32 other countries is still needed for it to become an international law.

If the agreement succeeds, governments could put people who trade illegal tobacco products in prison-another cost to countries budgets.

1Where are people dying of a tobacco related disease mostly from?

A.Developed countries.B.Old countries.

C.Underdeveloped countries.D.New countries.

2Which of the following about the whole costs of smoking is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Destroying the environment.

B.Being harmful to human life.

C.Affecting the whole country’s economy.

D.Causing the illegal trade.

3What’s the main idea of Paragraph 6?

A.Some action has been taken by the WHO.

B.The illegal trade in tobacco products is harmful.

C.Young people who are addicted to smoking may commit a crime.

D.An agreement to end the illegal trade in tobacco products is being signed.

4Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Smoking Costs More than You Think

B.Different Ways to Stop Smoking

C.The Illegal Trade in Tobacco Products

D.Immediate Action to Stop Smoking

【题目】 I want to share with you a story from 28 years ago. My dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for an auction (拍卖会). Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it at the auction.

One day I was riding with my dad when he noticed a hitch-hiker(搭便车的人) with a backpack. Without hesitation, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him that he was heading for the west. I can’t recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to make that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before. He was low in spirits, but I could see that the hitch-hiker’s attitude was changing as someone was really listening to him.

We drove 45 minutes before the hitch-hiker got off. We pulled over and Dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitch-hiker a twenty-dollar bill. The guy smiled. He nearly lit up right there on the cold, dark highway.

We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I had just witnessed. I was always told by everyone never to pick up a hitch -hiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. While reflecting upon that story I came to understand that just one single kind act could change someone’s life, and I am sure that my father’s deed made that poor man’s day.

1What made the hitch-hiker become less upset?

A.The writer’s father offering him a free ride.

B.The writer’s father really listening to him.

C.The writer’s father agreeing to drive him to his destination.

D.The writer’s father talking to him about all sorts of things.

2The underlined words “that decision” in Para. 2 refer to______.

A.catching the carB.heading for the west

C.talking about his experiencesD.driving 45 minutes

3Which of the following words CANNOT be used to describe the father?

A.Willing to help.B.Easy-going.

C.Far-sighted.D.Full of sympathy.

4The author wrote the text mainly to ______.

A.show his respect for his fatherB.tell a story of his father

C.prove his father is the best teacherD.advise people to learn from their father

【题目】 The cracked (有裂缝的) step four years ago was the start of it. That day, I awoke tired—the children were tiny and needing so much—and I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead, my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep. I dropped them off and drove home—the sun shining and my bed signaling. As I was about to enter the house, I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet.

Without thinking, I turned around, walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store. Four hours later, I had all the tools, had mixed my own cement (水泥), filled in the crack and repaired the foundation. Perfect. As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork, I realized that I was trembling. I’d forgotten my shot at a nice long nap, and my children were already on their way home. That sleep... that promise to self was broken, because I had focused, instead, on the crack in the step.

Suddenly, everything started to hurt. My head, my throat, my back. I couldn’t stop shaking. What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced. This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down. Ironically (讽刺地), for many of us, it is only when we have no choice— when we fall ill—that we learn to listen. For me, when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks while my body worked to clear two different infections, the lesson is ever present. I did it to myself—a whole twisted spin on DIY.

Sadly it took another two ridiculous DIY projects to finally get through. The cracks will never be fully filled. Focus, then, on your own inner core the feeding of that light, that fire and that strength.

1What made the author so sleepy in the first place?

A.Taking care of the kids.B.Visiting her mother.

C.Doing the housework.D.Dealing with DIY projects.

2How did the author feel as soon as she finished her repair work?

A.Regretful.B.Upset.

C.Proud.D.Thankful.

3What can be implied from Paragraph 3?

A.Our health is ignored deliberately.

B.Our body will respond to what we do.

C.The author took her mother’s advice.

D.The author stayed in hospital for two weeks.

4What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To present a way to fill a crack.

B.To show the danger of DIY.

C.To stress the importance of sleep.

D.To encourage focusing on oneself.
