Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities. The world opens up in ways that mature our vision and give us a sense of responsibility and gratefulness. Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted, get engaged in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. Connor’s optimism was infectious. There was so much he could do, and so much he could become.
But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado high- way. A young man,who gave off so much light, suddenly went dark.
Connor’s father, David, took it particularly hard. A father sees more than his own traits (性格) in his son; he sees greater possibilities than he achieved. Taking that hope away left David feeling at a loss. But Connor’s optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So, David got to work.
First, he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community. Next, he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while driving. It includes a very simple three part promise: Do not text or use social media while driving, speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools, ensuring young minds understand how statistically at risk they are when they text while driving. He’s become a passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not reach for their phones while they’re at the wheel. “I just don’t want other parents to go through what I did when I lost Connor,” says David. “It’s just so preventable.”
24．What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To give the background of a funny story.
B．To explain why David chose to volunteer.
C．To set off David’s great pain of losing his son.
D．To sing high praise for Connor’s healthy growth.
25．What happened to Connor on a Colorado highway?
A．The headlight of his car went wrong.
B．He drove carelessly and died in an accident.
C．He suffered an accident for his father’s fault.
D．He died from another driver’s careless driving.
26．From whom did Connor get the positive attitude towards life?
A．His coach. B．His grandfather.
C．His teacher. D．His father.
27．Why did David work with lecturers under a research-based curriculum?
A．He wanted to take a job in a college.
B．He took the classes that Connor hadn’t finished.
C．He wanted to prevent the sad event that he had suffered.
D．He honored Connor for what he had done in the community.
C
“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally? Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.
One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”, or become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates. Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent, they also clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.
Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research. Firstly, Ericsson stated that 10,000 hours was an average figure. Some people needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice was also essential. He went on to explain the importance of “deliberate practice”, which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.
A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert. Another natural factor is physical superiority, which is especially evident in sports. IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive, too. But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success, which also relies on social and environmental factors.
In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement. Based on Ericsson’s research, here are some tips on how to practise effectively: be motivated; make specific and realistic goals; work outside your comfort zone; be consistent and persistent; and get plenty of rest! For those wanting to become an expert in something, remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions.
28．How did Gladwell support his idea?
A．By listing numbers. B．By using examples.
C．By interviewing famous people. D．By mentioning other researchers.
29．Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with?
A．Practice alone is far from enough.
B．10,000 hours of practice leads to success.
C．Practice hours vary from person to person.
D．Deliberate practice is much more effective.
30．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The role of practice. B．Factors in creating experts.
C．The importance of natural talent. D．Warnings for experts.
31．What is the author’s attitude to the idea “Practice makes perfect”?
A．Favorable. B．Intolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Objective.
D
Earth’s natural resources include air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife. Conservation is the care and protection of these resources so that they can survive for future generations. It includes maintaining diversity of species, genes, and ecosystems, as well as functions of the environment, such as nutrient cycling.
Continued human population growth has led to unsustainable rates of consumption of our natural resources, resulting in a loss of Earth’s biodiversity. The main factors driving biodiversity loss include habitat destruction, climate change, invasive (入侵的) species and pollution.
Declining biodiversity is closely intertwined with species extinction. While extinction is a normal process of nature, the rate at which it is happening today is not. Scientists estimate that current extinction rates are about a thousand times higher now than would be expected based on the fossil record, and that we may be experiencing a mass extinction event, which is when 75 percent or more species are lost at a time.
The extinction of the passenger pigeon is a famous example of an extinction caused by human activity. It was once the most richest land bird in North America, with a population of approximately three to five billion when Europeans arrived. Despite its vast numbers, this pigeon became extinct in the wild by the 1900s because of overhunting. The last individual bird, named Martha, died in captivity in 1941 at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Conservation practices and policies—ranging from the removal of invasive species, to setting aside protected land for wildlife and plants, to establishing the U. S. Endangered Species Act (ESA)—have been put in place to deal with these extinction pressures. Currently, more than 26,500 species are estimated to be at risk of extinction, though the exact number is difficult to calculate.
32．How does the author illustrate “conservation” in the text?
A．By giving a definition.
B．By offering an example.
C．By listing some facts.
D．By making comparisons.
33．What does the underlined part “intertwined with” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Caused by.
B．Connected to.
C．Disturbed by.
D．Similar to.
34．Why does the author take the passenger pigeon as an example?
A．To show that animals die out quickly.
B．To tell North America is perfect for animals.
C．To explain how species die out in a short time.
D．To state that man is to blame for extinction.
35．What’s the suitable title for the text?
A．Conservation, Necessary and Urgent.
B．The Extinction of the Passenger Pigeon.
C．Effective Ways Done to the Environment.
D．Protection, More Than the Care for Animals.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Over the past century, science has made lots of advances in understanding the meanings of body language. Here are some of the most useful findings.
Open palm(手掌)
Have you noticed how someone swears to tell the truth in a court of law? He usually puts one hand on a religious book and raises the other hand into the air, palm facing whoever he is speaking to. He does this because an open palm has been associated with truth and honesty throughout our history. ___36___ . So we cannot be a threat to anyone.
Finger pointing
If someone is closing their palm and pointing with their index finger, then he is trying to display power, though it doesn’t always work out. Psychologists say, the pointed finger is used like a symbolic stick with which the speaker tries to beat his listeners. ___37___ .
Forced smile
Researchers say, smile is all about the lines around the eyes. ___38___ . If he is trying to force a smile, you won’t see the lines and the facial expression tends to be very awkward. Making a genuine smile-also known as a Duchenne smile-is nearly impossible to do on command. So look for a lack of lines around the eyes to detect a forced smile.
___39___
In the same way that real smiles shape the lines around the eyes, worry, shock or fear can cause people to raise their eyebrows in discomfort. So if someone praises your new hairstyle or clothes with his eyebrows raised, he or she may not be sincere.
Crossed arms
___40___ While crossed arms typically indicate that someone is closed off, people are also more likely to cross their arms
