The passage is probably taken from a 。A. journal B. travel brochure C. textbook D. novel B“Youre too small, Ginny, and youll never make an Olympic team,” claimed my first-ever rowing coach in the late winter of 1978. I had just taken an extremely large risk being here, as I stood in the basement of Yales Payne Whitney Gymnasium. I had confessed (坦白) my dream, which was admittedly outsize at that point, to somebody whose opinion not only mattered, but whose emotional support could play an important role. However, the easy road did not lie ahead for me. Defeated not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty, I left the gym in a panic, forcing my tears back, rushing out into the cold winter weather to find fort in the loneliness of my off-campus apartment. As I walked, I began to reassess my future, making room for my coachs opinion. But just because my own coach didnt have faith in me, or just because Id heard a forceful “no” instead of even a useless “yes”, it didnt mean I had to give up on myself so quickly. When I arrived at my apartment, I was annoyed with my coach and my dream was back on the center stage. To achieve my goal, I struggled hard every day. Eventually, I made that 1980 team, despite our not beginning to pete at the Olympics. All the effort was worth the wait. And the lessonnot to give up on myself too soon and not to allow someone elses opinion to destroy my desirehas stood me in good stead since those years. Everything I have today is a result of sticking to that dream, all those hours on the water, in the weight room, and in the stadiumthey got me here, where I know now that big aspirations need not just time to develop, but a firm belief in them. If Im not going to be my own champion for my dreams, no one else will. And I will not allow anyone else to decide for me whats possible. 24. What did the author think was “an extremely large risk”?A. Her bad health condition. B. Being too small.C. Her coachs objection. D. Being a rowing player. 25. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The authors coach was not responsible. B. The author was a student of Yale University. C. The authors coach felt uncertain about the authors disadvantages.D. The author felt extremely sad after hearing her coachs words. 26. What kind of person is the author? A. Hard-working and brave. B. Ambitious and proud. C. Shameful and unconfident. D. Hopeful and clever. 27. What can we learn from the authors experience? A. Believe yourself no matter what others say. B. Listening to others opinions is good for your success. C. It is important to maintain a good relationship with your coach. D. It is impossible for us to have no weakness.CLove to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all-Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的), the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree. Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently pleted a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period. All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom. American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October xx, have seen similar results. In May xx, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europes first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging. The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachersit helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience. 28. According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that. A. they have to exchange desks with each other B. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats C. there are no seats for them to sit in class D. the officials show no sympathy to them at all 29. According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because . A. they are cleverer than younger students B. they are easily tired of standing long C. they have formed the habit of sitting D. they do badly in class while standing 30. What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial? A. The standing desks cant be used at all. B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks. C. More tests should be done in other schools.D. The students are different in personality. 31. Why do the teachers like the standing desks? A. Because the educators can draw the students attention. B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy. C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom. D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated. DMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in xx his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine. The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in xx, includes a 900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine”. With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVFleading to the birth of the worlds first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples. It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.” Louise Brown, the worlds first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969.IVFin vitro fertilisationis the process whereby egg cells are fertilized outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in fivethe same as healthy couples who conceive naturally. Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and eleven grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said: “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall Clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment. But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”. Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive (生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said: “We couldnt understand why the Nobel has e so late but he is delightedthis is the cherry on the cake for him.” Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”. 32. What is Robert Edwards contribution to science? A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby. B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing. C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life. D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies. 33. What does the underlined word “afflicting” (Paragraph 4) most probably refer to? A. Troubling. B. Developing. C. Improving. D. Confusing. 34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that . A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards finding C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A.

They stood behind the adults and ate whatever the adults gave them. Later, children were allowed to sit at the table, but they couldnt speak unless an adult spoke to them. They couldnt ask for a dish, either. 37 It was also considered rude to look at someone else who was eating. Table manners are even older than tables. About 9,000 years ago, people cooked soups in pots. When they ate, they dipped spoons, made of wood or bone, into the cooking pot. Sometimes people didnt use spoons. They just picked out pieces of meat with their fingers. 38 Some cultures still follow this custom. For example, some people use only the first three fingers of the right hand. In northern India, some diners use only the fingertips of the right hand, but in the south, it is acceptable to use both hands. Table manners became quite important in Europe in the 1100s. That was when people developed the idea of courtesy (礼貌). Soon rules about eating began appearing in written texts. In the 1300s, the Renaissance arrived in Europe. So did the fork. As new table customs developed, people began to eat from plates, and everyone had their own cup. People couldnt throw bones on the floor anymore. 39 Nowadays people use many simple table manners without thinking. But if youre a guest, and youre not sure what to do, just do what the host does and follow the basic principle of table manners: 40 A. It was more polite to leave them on the plate. B. Eating with the fingers has never disappeared. C. They had to wait until an adult offered it to them. D. There are many other rules, especially at formal parties. E. Be thoughtful of others, and make dining as pleasant as possible. F. The rules were meant to make the dining experience pleasant and tidy. G. Well if you do, be grateful you werent a child of Americas early settlers. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Yesterday I was shopping with my 5-year-old daughter 41 a group of punk(朋克) rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos(纹身) 42 much of their bodies.

At the same time, however, its really not my 59 to judge it either.
