If sports are something that interests you, you must want to know how to be good at them. Succeeding at a sport takes skill. （1） Skill alone may take you far, but you’ll never go all the way without the right attitude and team spirit. The following tips can help you be a better sports player

Join a sports team. If you’re interested in sports, joining a team is a good way to start. （2） You are likely to develop friendships with at least some of your team members. Besides, even if your skills are low, joining a team will improve your skills.

Set big but realistic（现实的）goals for yourself. This does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and decide where you think you would like to be. （3）

Be a good sport. Being good at sports means more than physical strength and speed. （4） If you fail in a match, accept the loss and show respect to other players for their victory. Treat loss as a learning experience. Find out what you did wrong, and then try to improve it for the next game.

（5） It’s possible to get so crazy about winning that you forget why you want to be good at the very beginning. Not taking the time to enjoy the sport you play results in a fast burnout. Whether you’re practising or playing a competition, remember it is the joy that matters.

A. Let yourself have fun. B. Stay focused on the competition. C. Exercising with others is very enjoyable and encouraging. D. In order to be truly great, you need to be positive towards failure. E. Break a big goal down into small parts, and achieve them step by step. F. However, other things should be considered if you want to be a good sports player.

Last July, my family took a holiday in a village. We stayed there for five days and enjoyed ourselves every day. However, when we went home by train, my 6-year-old son found his favorite ball was lost. The ball was a gift from his best friend, so I knew what it meant to him. I called the hotel which we stayed in, but they said, “Sorry. No one has found a lost ball here.” My son was very sad.

One week later, we received a box from the hotel. My son couldn’t wait to open it. He was very happy to see his ball in the box. I was glad that the hotel helped us find the ball in the end.

Mike, a 12-year-old boy, lived in a hillside village. His neighboring village was famous because of a great discovery there. In 2003, paleontologists（古生物学家）found the bones（骨头）of the largest dinosaur（恐龙）in Europe in a field near his neighboring village.

Mike liked dinosaurs more than anything else in the world. He also believed that there was an amazing dinosaur bone under the ground of his own village. His dream was to be the first person to find it.

One summer morning, Mike was exploring（勘查）in a field near a river. He looked up to see his two friends Fern and Pepe running toward him with a colorful kite. Mike enjoyed playing with his friends and began to fly the kite with them. As he ran, he fell to the ground. “I caught my left foot on this grey object,” he said.

“A rock,” said Fern.

Mike looked at it carefully. “I don’t think it’s a rock,” he said excitedly.

“Let me pull it out,” said Pepe.

“No,” said Mike. “It’s better to leave the object right here.”

Mike and the boys ran to school to tell their teacher. The teacher called the paleontologist’s office. The next day, a paleontologist came to the village to examine the object. “It could be a dinosaur bone,” he said. Soon, many paleontologists came and more bones were found. They turned out to come from a new kind of dinosaur.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. “Nothing special,” she replied.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight（视力）? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.

On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.

On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man’s progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.

The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent（永久的）night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.

I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again…But of all the senses, I’m sure that sight must be the most pleasant.

（3）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．	A description of different senses.	B．	A method of living a pleasant life.

（4）Which is the best structure（结构）of the passage?

（①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…）

A．

B．

C．

D．

Have you ever thought about what goes into making a cartoon? Or maybe there is a famous cartoon from another country you like to watch in Chinese? But how do you change the language to Chinese? This is something called dubbing（配音）. To dub means adding sounds or words in a new language to a movie, radio or TV show. Dubbing is usually done to make it easier for people in another country to understand a movie or a show.

For me, I’ve had experience dubbing TV shows and cartoons from Chinese into English. I’ve done dubbing for many kinds of shows, such as love stories, kung fu movies, documentaries（纪录片）and more. However, my favourite ones to dub are cartoons. That’s because with cartoons I can use many different kinds of voices, such as high ones for good guys and low ones for bad guys.

Two of my favourite cartoons that I’ve dubbed were called A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix（《百鸟朝凤》）and The Foolish Old Man Who Removes the Mountains（《愚公移山》）. In the first cartoon, I got to play a silly and very proud but well-meaning blackbird. In the second cartoon, I played both the main hero named Qingfeng and the main bad guy named Mountain Spirit Zheng. The hardest part was not reading the written words. But it was acting out（将……演出来）the voices while matching the actions at the same time. Still, it was really fun voicing all of these different roles!

If you enjoy making different voices, then I highly suggest that you try dubbing at least once.

（1）Why do people dub foreign movies?

A．	To show their foreign language skill.	B．	To increase the movies’ ticket prices.
C．	To make the movies easy to understand.	D．	To add their own opinions in the movies.

（2）What is the writer’s favourite type of dubbing?

A．

Love stories.

B．

Kung fu movies.

C．

Documentaries.

D．

Cartoons.

（3）The underlined word “guys” in paragraph 2 means ______ in the text.

A．

roles

B．

voices

C．

stories

D．

lifestyles

（4）What did the writer dub in A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix?

A．

A child.

B．

A bird.

C．

A mountain spirit.

D．

An old man.

（5）What was the hardest part for the writer in dubbing the second cartoon?

A．	Dubbing the voice of a blackbird.	B．	Writing the words for the movies.
C．	Reading aloud behind the screen.	D．	Matching voices and actions well.

Standing on the beach of Copacabana, I come to realize that any understanding of Brazil really begins on its beaches. Everyone here has his or her perfect beach and is ready to tell you where to find it. I’m happy to take people’s advice, but my final goal is to find my own dream beach.

I head to Bahia, a place with Brazil’s best coastline. Over the centuries, people of many races have arrived here, creating a wonderful cultural mix. This mix influences Bahia’s language, food, music, and dance.

On arriving at one of Bahia’s best beaches —Prainha, I discover its golden sand lined by a row of perfect trees, moving softly in the ocean wind. As I enter the water, I have the feeling of swimming through moonlight. Prainha’s beauty is like something you might see in a postcard. But for me, it’s a little too perfect. ▲

I continue my search, heading north to Maceió, a fisherman’s beach. Boats lie on their sides while nets hang out to dry on lines between fishermen’s houses. We eat on the beach and later rest near the table. It’s a great day, but I have one final place to visit.

A few hundred kilometers out in the Atlantic, the islands of Fernando de Noronha are a national park, rich with birds and sea life. I visit a number of beaches on Fernando, but I leave the best one for last.

The beach at Praia do Leão has perfect sand, sea and sky. The water is pale blue and warm, alive with colorful fish and other sea life; the sand is the color of honey. The rocks and strong winds have the touch of wildness I was looking for. I dig my toes in the sand deeply and imagine I can hold on to this place forever.

（1）Which is the first beach the writer visits?

A．

Maceió.

B．

Praia do Leão.

C．

Prainha.

D．

Copacabana.

（2）What can we learn from the passage?

A．	Prainha is a popular beach for fishermen.
B．	Bahia is a place with a wonderful cultural mix.
C．	The islands of Fernando are very rich in honey.
D．	Maceió’s beauty is like something in a postcard.

（3）Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ?

A．	The beach I’m searching for needs to be a little wilder.
B．	The beach I’m looking for is a place for fishermen to fish.
C．	The beach I’m searching for needs to be famous to tourists.
D．	The beach I’m looking for is popular with parents and children.

（4）What is the best title for this passage?

A．	An Unknown Beach	B．	Memories of Vacation
C．	The Perfect Beach	D．	A Tour of Education

请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。

If you have a chance to learn by yourself, what might you do? Perhaps you choose to practice football skills; you would prefer to discuss something together; and you might just read. This is the most important thing of “unschooling”. It is also known as “natural learning” or “independent learning”. For this kind of educational practice, people think differently. Here are their comments（意见）.

Know More Schooling is education that children receive at school. Home schooling is the practice of educating that children learn at home with a parent or a tutor. Unschooling is an educational practice that allows children to decide how, what and where they want to learn.

Agree Independent learning teaches children to be responsible for themselves. With no teacher around, children must manage themselves, and this is a really important skill for later life. Unschooling allows children to learn what they are really interested in. If learning is enjoyable, it’s more successful. Very young children learn in a natural way. Without being taught, they know colors and voices, they learn smiling and walking. Why shouldn’t people continue to learn like this? Unschooling gives children more time for sports, volunteering and museum or park visits. They may meet different people who share their interests.

Disagree Unschooling requires parents’ support and attention. They need to create a learning space that excites children and remind them of their daily routines. Teachers can push children to learn what they don’t enjoy but can be important later in life. Unschooling sounds too good to be true. It can be helpful when children are very young. But it puts too much pressure on children because they can learn difficult subjects easily only with teachers’ help. Unschooling happens at home, so children could have less contact with others at their age. This means they could end up becoming shy.

When deciding how you are going to learn, it’s necessary to think about which works. Choose what is suitable for you and what can have a positive influence on your growth.

（1）What is the most important thing of unschooling?

_________________________________________________________________

（2）Whose support and attention do children need when they experience unschooling?

_________________________________________________________________

（3）How can children become successful in learning?

（4）Why are children under too much pressure from unschooling?

_________________________________________________________________

（5）If possible, what kind of educational practice would you like to choose? Why?

请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won ＄1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds（概率）of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.

It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery（抽奖）winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only ＄2.46 in the bank when he won ＄16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.

Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won ＄3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.

Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.

Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable（合理的）amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.

People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.

（1）How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?

A．	By giving an example.	B．	By listing numbers.
C．	By telling the differences.	D．	By asking a question.

（2）What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?

A．	They came from the same country.
B．	They won the lotteries in the same year.
C．	They were poor before winning the lotteries.
D．	They spent their money quickly and carelessly.

（3）What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．

Expensive.

B．

Funny.

C．

Surprising.

D．

Lucky.

（4）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．	Big money brings lasting happiness.
B．	People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C．	Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D．	The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.

（5）What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?

A．	To encourage readers to make big money.
B．	To advise people to stay away from lotteries.
C．	To show his opinion about money and happiness.
D．	To share some success stories about finding happiness.
