However, I believe learning that sometimes you lose is just as important.There is a school of thought that if children are playing for fun, they should not keep score, which seems a bit backwards to me. Participation is great, but let’s also give them a goal to reach.Sport has winners and losers, which is an important part of its make-up. I believe the greatest joy you can get from sport is when you play hard and produce a win, when you and your teammates work together for your goal.I am a competitive person, but I don’t think you’re ever too young to start learning that putting effort into something can result in reward. I’m not saying winning should be the be-all and end-all of the experience for children, but it should at least be a choice.Michael Jordan once said. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”Without learning how it feels to win, and just as importantly how it feels to lose, we will bring up children who expect life to be easy. Life is not easy and I believe the sooner children learn that, the better off they are in the long run. But, there does need to be a balance. There are parents who always want to see their children win and will punish them when they make mistakes.I believe the key is to teach children that they should give their all in an effort to be victorious. It does need to be fun or they won’t be interested, but they should be graceful (优雅的) in failure. Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios is an example of someone who appears to have gone too far the other way, always in the news for his terrible attitude on court.36．Which of the following will the author agree with?A．Fewer kids play sport nowadays. B．It is participation that matters most. C．Competitive sport is important for kids. D．Kids often have unrealistic goals in sport.37．What does the author want to show by using Jordan’s words?A．Life lies in sport. B．Nothing is impossible.C．Great hopes make great men. D．Failure is the mother of success. 38．What will winning and losing in sport teach children?A．The difficulty of life. B．The role of hard work.C．The power of teamwork. D．The need for dreaming big.39．What does the author think of Nick Kyrgios?A．He is not skilled. B．He is not graceful.C．He sets a good example for kids. D．He pays little attention to success.While Romano’s classmates were beginning their college life, the 19-year-old Croatian young man had different dreams. In Croatia, taking a gap year is not as common as in other countries, but Romano decided to take a break for a year or two after high school and try volunteering in Africa.Upon arrival in Arusha, Tanzania, Romano found a volunteering project through an organization. Now he helps poor children and teaches them English and math. These children are not abandoned. They come from low-income families and any help is welcome. There is no soap or running water in the school, and to learn English, the children depend on volunteers because there are not enough qualified teachers.“They don’t have much, they are poor, but honest and happy, because they are not aware that there may be something better out there for them. As I was lecturing, I saw the materials they used for learning: worn-out pencils, one eraser for 20 children, torn and printed notebooks, and not to mention clothes and shoes. I will only tell you that uniforms are worn to conceal（掩饰）their clothing and thus to mask material inequality,” says Romano, who was therefore encouraged to launch a charity action to collect donations for children’s necessities.Romano believes that every child has the right to the basics, including education.It is for this reason that he wants to help these little ones. “Now I realize how privileged I am in life just because I was born on another continent. I learned to appreciate more what I have and manage without the basics. As a result, I met a different culture, tested my limits and looked at things from a different perspective — a gratitude perspective,” concludes Romano, hoping that little by little, both he and other volunteers will contribute to positive change through their work. 40．According to the text, what is the education like in Croatia?A．Before going to university, Croatian students must have dreams.B．The students have to take a year or two off after high school.C．Taking a gap year is a common occurrence in Croatia.D．It is not allowed to take a gap year during school in general.41．Why did Romano come to Arusha?A．To prepare for his college life.B．To help children there as a volunteer.C．To earn money as a part-time teacher.D．To promote an educational program.42．What do we know about the children that Romano teaches?A．They are too poor to be happy.B．They all have an incomplete family.C．They have no local English teachers.D．They know little about the outside world.43．What does the underlined word “mask” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Hide.B．Reduce.C．Create.D．Remove.44．What did Romano learn from his experience?A．All children should have access to higher education.B．All children should try their best to go to colleges.C．He should treasure more his life and feel grateful.D．He should work hard in college to be more powerful.In the middle of the twentieth century, medical research showed that there was a clear connection between cardiovascular (心血管的)disease or CVD and lifestyle. This awareness led to a change in attitudes towards health care. Health experts began to stress the idea that people could take control of their own health instead of relying on medical help. People listened.Many people are no longer depending on doctors for advice and treatment; instead they are focusing on preventive measures and taking responsibility for their own health. A greater understanding of the connection between diet and health has led many to reduce or even reject food high in fat from their diets.Similarly, people are also becoming more serious about reducing stress. An increasing number of people understand that frequent aerobic (有氧的)exercise like walking, running, and swimming reduces stress.These changes in attitudes and behavior have had a positive effect. Deaths from CVD first began to fall in western countries in the 1960s, and this trend continues today. In the United States the death rate from this disease fell by more than 35 percent between 1980 and 1997 and then by another 26 percent between 1999 and 2005. In 2010, 6 percent of adults suffered from some form of CVD, down from 6.7 percent in 2006.However, the news about CVD is not all positive. Despite the fall in death rates, CVD is still much too frequent in most western countries. CVD has also become much more common in developing countries, with 80 percent of all CVD deaths now occurring there.What are governments doing to fight this terrible disease? The global effort to inform people of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle continues. Governments are also introducing specific changes aimed at reducing unhealthy lifestyles. In Mauritius a government program encouraged the nation to switch from palm oil, high in fat, to healthier soybean oil.45．What does the underlined word “ change” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．A decreasing number of people are dying from CVD．B．People understand the need for an expert doctor.C．Medical science can be used to cure CVD．D．People take better care of their health.46．What are more people doing to reduce stress?A．Exercising on a regular basis.B．Focusing on new medical research.C．Seeking treatment from their doctors.D．Removing food high in fat.47．How does the author show the effects of these changes?A．By giving examples. B．By stating arguments.C．By listing numbers. D．By providing research results. 48．Why did the government of Mauritius encourage people to eat soybean oil instead of palm oil?A．Soybean oil is cheaper than palm oil.B．Palm oil is less healthy than soybean oil.C．Soybean oil is easier to digest than palm oil.D．Palm oil is harder to produce than soybean oil.49．What would be the best title for the text?A．Causes of CVDB．Changing patterns of CVDC．Changing attitudes towards CVDD．Treatment breakthroughs in the field of CVD四、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want?’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”50．What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people?
