If a child is playing sport, they should have fun. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是孩子们在参加体育比赛的时候输也是有意义的。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“If a child is playing sport, they should have fun. However, I believe learning that sometimes you lose is just as important.(如果孩子在做运动，他们应该玩得开心。然而，我相信知道有时你会输也是同样重要的。)”，第二段的“Participation is great, but let’s also give them a goal to reach.(参与固然好，但我们也要给他们一个目标。)”和第三段的“Sport has winners and losers, which is an important part of its make-up.(体育运动有赢家和输家，这是其组成的重要组成部分。)”可知，作者会同意的观点是竞技运动对孩子们很重要。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.(我这辈子失败了一次又一次。这就是我成功的原因。)”可知，作者想用乔丹的话来表达失败是成功之母。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“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.(如果不学习什么是胜利，什么是失败，我们就会把孩子培养成期望生活轻松的人。生活并不容易，我相信孩子们越早认识到这一点，从长远来看对他们越有利。)”可知，体育比赛的输赢会教会孩子们生活的困难。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“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.(体育运动必须是有趣的，否则他们不会感兴趣，但他们应该在失败中保持风度。澳大利亚网球运动员Nick Kyrgios就是一个似乎走得太远的例子，他总是因为在球场上糟糕的态度而上新闻。)”可知，作者认为Nick Kyrgios没有风度，即He is not graceful。故选B。
C
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we eat them. It is important because it decides the vitamins (维他命) and other nutrients (营养物质) that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw (生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene (番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors (因素) decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important! When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them.
8. The writer mainly wants to tell us that________.
A people should eat more vegetables B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us D. how much vegetables one should eat
9. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. need lycopene (番茄红素) D. hate eating tomatoes
10. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
11. From the last paragraph, we can know________.
A. it’s better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了怎样正确地食用蔬菜，才能更有利于健康。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we eat them. It is important because it decides the vitamins (维他命) and other nutrients (营养物质) that enter our body. (一项研究表明，当谈到蔬菜时，不仅仅是我们吃多少，还有我们怎么吃。它之所以重要，是因为它决定了进入我们身体的维生素和其他营养物质)”可知，作者通过本文主要告诉我们：人们吃蔬菜的方式是很重要的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene (番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. (研究人员发现，198名吃生食物的德国人缺乏番茄红素，这种物质存在于番茄和其他红色蔬菜中)”可知，长时间吃生蔬菜的人需要番茄红素。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“A number of factors (因素) decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways. (许多因素决定了这些蔬菜在上桌之前对人们健康的好处，包括它们在哪里、如何种植和储存，然后才被购买。没有一种烹饪方法是最好的。如果用不同的方法烹饪，有些营养物质很容易在烹饪过程中流失)”，并结合选项可知，蔬菜的售价不会影响其对人们有好处。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. (肥肉还可以使蔬菜的味道更好，这意味着人们会吃更多的蔬菜)”可知，可以把蔬菜和肥肉一起烹饪，这样味道更好。故选A项。

A Georgia mom is winning praise for the way she’s teaching her children, aged 13,10 and 6, about money.
Shaketha MeGregor, a single mother in Dublin, Georgia, knew she needed a solution after frequent requests from her three kids for things like new toys and money to do things with their friends.
She came up with the unique idea to host a “job fair(就业展览会)”for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade. The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor(洗衣房主管).Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.
Jahkeem, Takeia and Serinity each picked the job they wanted to apply for, filled out the application and had interviews with their employer-their mom.
“My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper” McGregor said.“ As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem.”
”I want them to be familiar with the process when they are older,“ she said. ”Whether they’re applying to a school or for a new job. they can look back and say, “I did this with Mom years ago.” As a parent you want to protect your children as much as possible, but you know that eventually they’ll have to experience it on their own and a child’s greatest lesson in life is going through the process.
MeGregor’s post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes. She said she hoped it inspired other parents to think outside of the box and let their kids’ voices be heard.“ What I’m realizing is that kids just want to be part of something. The first-hand experience is the best way to educate children,” McGregor said.
12. What do you know about McGregor’s solution
A. It is creative. B. It’s uninteresting
C. It is strange. D. It’s traditional.
13 How can Takeia get the new toy she wants according to the passage
A. By doing housework. B. By behaving well.
C. By getting good marks. D. By listening to McGregor.
14. What can we infer from the result of the job fair
A. Serinity was awarded a new toy.
B. Serinity got the position as a kitchen manager.
C. Takeia became the lead housekeeper at the fair.
D. Jahkeen didn’t get the job he had applied for.
15. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Children should always listen to their parents views.
B. Parents should pay their children for anything.
C. MeGregor’s post is well received online.
D. MeGregor’s idea is suitable for all families.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了三个孩子的母亲Shaketha McGregor被孩子们的物质需求弄得焦头烂额，对此她想出了举办家务工作招聘会的点子，让孩子们通过竞争家务工作的职位来赚取零花钱，这个创意获得了网友们的一致好评。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She came up with the unique idea to host a “job fair” for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade.(她想出了一个独特的主意，为她的三个孩子举办一场“招聘会”，他们分别是七年级的Jahkeem、五年级的Takeia和一年级的Serinity。)”可知，这种举行家庭工作招聘会的方法很独特，有创意。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor(洗衣房主管).Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.(招聘会上的三个职位分别是厨房经理、首席管家和洗衣房主管。孩子们不得不通过工作来赚取零花钱。)”可知，孩子们可以通过工作来赚零花钱。所以，Takeia如果想要得到一个新的玩具，她只有通过工作来赚钱买玩具。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper,” MeGregor said.“ As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem.”(“我最大的孩子和最小的孩子都申请了首席管家的职位，” McGregor说。“至于我6岁的女儿Serinity，我对她的申请和面试印象比我13岁的儿子Jahkeem更深刻。”)”可知，Jahkeem的申请和面试结果并没有自己的妹妹出色，因此他并没有得到申请的职位。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“MeGregor’s post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes.( MeGregor在脸书上分享了她招聘会的想法，现在已经有20多万个赞了。)”可知，她的帖子在网络上受到一致好评。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一些人们选择美国南部的阳光地带来过冬的原因以及他们为实现此目的的不同的方式的利弊和在温暖地方过冬带给人们的好处。
【详解】1.根据前文“Each year many people move to the Sun Belt in the southern United States.”（每年都有很多人搬到美国南部的阳光地带。）可推知，接下来可以谈论他们来到这里的目的。选项A.“They choose to seek a warm and sunny climate.”（他们选择温暖阳光充足的气候。）可知，温暖和阳光充足的气候是他们来此的目的。与前文逻辑相符，故选A。
2.根据前文“Most of the time people use the word snowbird in reference to retirees that travel to a southern state during the winter months. However, snowbirding is certainly not limited to retirees.”（大多数时候，人们用“候鸟老人”这个词来形容那些在冬季去南方旅行的退休人员。然而，“候鸟老人”肯定不仅限于退休人员。）可推知，接下来可以描述前文的“到温暖地带过冬的人”的行为也存在于其他的人群中。选项E.“People of all ages have more freedom to spend months away now.”（现在各个年龄段的人都有更多的自由，可以在外面度过几个月。）与文意符合，故选E。
3.根据下文“Some people like to travel in their RV(recreational vehicle), others have a second home in a location of their choosing. ”（有些人喜欢开着他们的房车(露营车)旅行，有些人在他们选择的地点拥有第二个家。）讲述了人们进行“snowbird”行为的方式，所以作为本段的中心句，空白处应总说人们为实现他们的目标的方式是什么。选项F.“There are many ways people choose to accomplish their snowbirding.”（人们有很多方法来完成他们到温暖地带过冬。）与文意相符，故选F。
4.根据前文“The second home provides ...They can also explore a wide variety of places.”（第二个家提供了房子所能提供的一切，但它不允许自由探索。然而，房车旅行者可以去任何他们想去的地方。在房车里，这些到温暖地方过冬的人可以选择在一个地方建立可移动的住所。他们还可以探索各种各样的地方。）讲述了房车旅行到温暖的地方与在过冬地建立第二个家的利与弊，可知，不管是哪种形式，人们最终都实现了温暖过冬。所以接下来的内容应总说不管利弊如何，人们会根据自己的喜好来选择实现他们的目的。选项G.“Whatever advantages or disadvantages, people will take whichever way they like.”（无论优缺点如何，人们都会选择自己喜欢的方式。）与文意相符，故选G。
5.根据前文“For those people that have the ability to leave their homes for a few months during the winter to explore the southern areas, there are many benefits to have.”（对于那些能够在冬天离开家几个月，去南方探险的人来说，有很多好处。）提到了到南方过冬的好处。所以接下来的内容可以阐述具体的好处是什么。选项D.“They can build new friendships and communities over the years.”（多年来，他们可以建立新的友谊和社区。）与前文意义相符，故选D。

Hello, everyone! It’s my great honor to talk with the benefits of Taichi, my favorite physical activities.
To begin with, Taichi helped stretch our muscles, improves our body’s range of movements and makes us to have a lower risk of diseases. What’s more, Taichi can help us get over negative feelings whatever we feel sad.
But as for me, a year of practising Taichi has positive effect on my everyday life. I sleep well at night and I am more energetic during the day. Besides, Taichi has taught us to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calmly in stressful situations. I am sure I’ll continue to practise Taichi but enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
That’s all, thank you!

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了练太极的好处。
【详解】1. 考查介词。句意：我很荣幸能谈论太极拳的好处，太极拳是我最喜欢的体育活动。此处考查的是固定搭配，talk about意为“谈论....”，而talk with意为“和...交谈”不符合句意。故将with改为about。
2.考查名词单复数。句意：我很荣幸能谈论太极拳的好处，太极拳是我最喜欢的体育活动。根据前文“It’s my great honor to talk with the benefits of Taichi”可知，“我”说的是太极一个活动，所以应用单数形式。故将activities改为activity。
3.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：首先，太极拳有助于伸展我们的肌肉，改善我们身体的运动范围，使我们降低患病风险。分析句子结构可知，本句描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，help的主语是Taichi，所以应用第三人称单数形式。故将helped改为helps。
4.考查固定搭配。句意：句意：首先，太极拳有助于伸展我们的肌肉，改善我们身体的运动范围，使我们降低患病风险。此处考查的是固定搭配，make sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”，在此固定搭配中do前的to一定要省略，被动语态时再还原。故将to删掉。
5.考查状语从句的连词。句意：此外，太极拳可以帮助我们克服悲伤时的消极情绪。分析句意可知，本句想表达的是“无论什么时候我们感到悲伤”，而不是“我们无论感到什么悲伤”，明显不符合句意。故将whatever改为whenever。
6.考查冠词。句意：但对我来说，一年的太极练习对我的日常生活有积极的影响。分析句子结构可知，effect是可数名词，此处用的是单数，故前面要加冠词，此处表泛指，positive首字母的发音为辅音音素。故has后应加a。
7.考查副词比较级。句意：我晚上睡得更好，白天更精力充沛。根据本句中“and I am more energetic during the day”可知，and表并列，前后需一致，后文用了比较级，所以前文也需比较级。故将well改为better。
8.考查代词。句意：此外，太极拳教会了我放松心情，使我能够在紧张的情况下保持冷静。根据前文可知这是“我”在讲述太极对“我”的好处，以及后文“enabling me to stay calmly in stressful situations”也是说的“我”，另在谓语动词后应用宾格形式。故将us改为me。
9.考查形容词。句意：此外，太极拳教会了我放松心情，使我能够在紧张情况下保持冷静。分析句子结构可知，stay是系动词，后应接形容词做表语。故将calmly改为calm。
10.考查连词。句意：我相信我会继续练习太极，并享受它给我带来的好处。分析句意可知，此处表并列而不是转折。故将but改为and。

If a child is playing sport, they should have fun. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
C
By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we eat them. It is important because it decides the vitamins (维他命) and other nutrients (营养物质) that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw (生的) vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene (番茄红素), the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors (因素) decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important! When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them.
8. The writer mainly wants to tell us that________.
A. people should eat more vegetables B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us D. how much vegetables one should eat
9. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. need lycopene (番茄红素) D. hate eating tomatoes
10. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
11. From the last paragraph, we can know________.
A. it’s better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
D
A Georgia mom is winning praise for the way she’s teaching her children, aged 13,10 and 6, about money.
Shaketha MeGregor, a single mother in Dublin, Georgia, knew she needed a solution after frequent requests from her three kids for things like new toys and money to do things with their friends.
She came up with the unique idea to host a “job fair(就业展览会)”for her three children, Jahkeem, in seventh grade, Takeia, in fifth grade, and Serinity, in first grade. The three positions at the job fair were the kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor(洗衣房主管).Children had to earn their pocket money by doing a job.
Jahkeem, Takeia and Serinity each picked the job they wanted to apply for, filled out the application and had interviews with their employer-their mom.
“My oldest and my youngest both applied for the lead housekeeper,” McGregor said.“ As to my 6-year-old daughter Serinity, I was more impressed with her application and her interview than my 13-year-old son Jahkeem.”
”I want them to be familiar with the process when they are older,“ she said. ”Whether they’re applying to a school or for a new job. they can look back and say, “I did this with Mom years ago.” As a parent you want to protect your children as much as possible, but you know that eventually they’ll have to experience it on their own and a child’s greatest lesson in life is going through the process.
MeGregor’s post on Facebook where she shared her job fair idea now has more than 200,000 likes. She said she hoped it inspired other parents to think outside of the box and let their kids’ voices be heard.“ What I’m realizing is that kids just want to be part of something. The first-hand experience is the best way to educate children,” McGregor said.
12. What do you know about McGregor’s solution
A. It is creative. B. It’s uninteresting
C. It is strange. D. It’s traditional.
13. How can Takeia get the new toy she wants according to the passage
A. By doing housework. B. By behaving well.
C By getting good marks. D. By listening to McGregor.
14. What can we infer from the result of the job fair
A. Serinity was awarded a new toy.
B. Serinity got the position as a kitchen manager.
C. Takeia became the lead housekeeper at the fair.
D. Jahkeen didn’t get the job he had applied for.
15. What do we know from the last paragraph
A. Children should always listen to their parents views.
B. Parents should pay their children for anything.
C. MeGregor’s post is well received online.
D. MeGregor’s idea is suitable for all families.

Hello, everyone! It’s my great honor to talk with the benefits of Taichi, my favorite physical activities.

But as for me, a year of practising Taichi has positive effect on my everyday life. I sleep well at night and I am more energetic during the day.
