Organized youth sports first appeared during the early 20th century in the United States and other wealthy nations. They were 51 developed when some educators and developmental experts realized that the behavior and character of children were strongly influenced by their social surroundings and everyday experiences.
This belief that the social 52 influenced a person’s overall development was very 53 to people interested in progress and reform in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.

Today, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems, burdens and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go.
The most extraordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He looked at least 70 years old. He seemed so tired and nobody bought his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me.
Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Grandpa, may I polish your shoes?” That old man took pity on her and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, “I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.”
I heard this and tears filled my eyes. The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.” Then they walked to a market and I followed close behind them. There he bought her a uniform. The girl said, “Thank you so much for doing this. May God bless you.” Then she left, leaving the old man smiling.
The old man walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, “You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see
him still smiling.
My own sadness had disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man who only had a little, but shared it happily with someone who had nothing.

A. surprise. B. regret. C. sympathy. D. sorrow. 58. Why did the girl offer to polish shoes for the old man? A. She took pity on him.

59. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A clever little girl B. A kind shoe seller C. A pair of old shoes D. A girl’s new uniform B

There is an old Chinese proverb that states \"One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,\" and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, says, \"I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn't consider her my best friend. Best friends don't pay for your wedding. Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.
While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared
the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren't speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother's emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don't care deeply about their mothers. It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always \"trumps\" friend. 64. The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______. A. prevent B. differ. C. benefit D. change 65. Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship? A. Because they have a lot in common. B. Because they have common family values. C. Because they have no generation gap. D. Because they keep a constant relationship. 66. What do we know from the passage?
A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend. B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship. C. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
D. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship. 67. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to be a good mother and daughter? B. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend? C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Who is a mother’s best friend?
D
A cyclic drop in the sun’s radiation can cause unusually cold winters in parts of North America and Europe, scientists say, a finding that could improve long-range forecasts and help countries prepare for snowstorms.
Scientists have known for a long time that the sun has an 11-year cycle during which radiation measured by sunspots on the surface reaches a peak then falls. But explaining a clear link to weather has proved harder.
“Our research confirms the observed link between solar change and regional winter climate,” lead author Sarah Ineson of the UK Met Office told the reporters in an email. The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Monday.
Her team focused on data from the recent solar minimum during 2008~2010, a period of unusual calm for the sun and extreme winters in the United States and parts of Europe that shut down air travel and disrupted business.
The researchers found that a reduction in ultraviolet(UV紫外线) radiation from the sun
can affect high-altitude wind patterns in the Northern Hemisphere(半球), causing cold winters. “While UV levels won’t tell us what the day-to-day weather will do, they provide the exciting prospect of improved forecasts for winter conditions for months and even years ahead. These forecasts play an important role in long-term possibility planning,” Ineson, a climate scientist, said.
Ineson and colleagues from Imperial College London and the University of Oxford used satellite data that more accurately measures UV radiation from the sun and found a much greater change than previously thought.
They found that in years of low activity, unusually cold air forms high in the atmosphere over the tropic(热带). This causes a redistribution of heat in the atmosphere, making easterly winds that bring freezing weather and snowstorms to northern Europe and the United States and milder weather to Canada and the Mediterranean.
When solar UV radiation is stronger, the opposite occurs.
Ineson’s team used the data in a complex computer model that simulates(模拟) long-term weather patterns. The model successfully reproduced what scientists have observed happening in the upper atmosphere during changes in solar radiation.
More study was needed, though. A key uncertainty in the experiment lay in the satellite data used, because it covers only a few years. ”So questions remain concerning both accuracy and also applicability to other solar cycles,” she said.
68. The new finding claims cold winters in the North Hemisphere can be caused by ______. A. a sharp rise in the amount of sunspots B. a decrease in the sun’s UV radiation C. a complex computer model simulation D. a clear link between the sun and the earth
69. It has long been known by scientists that ______. A. UV radiation can affect high-altitude wind patterns.
B. there’s a clear link between the sun’s activity and weather C. the sun’s radiation reaches a peak every eleven years.
D. they can predict day-to-day weather conditions from UV levels
70. What will happen if the sun turns into years of high activity according to the finding? A. Canada and the Mediterranean will have milder weather.
B. The whole Northern Hemisphere will suffer from extreme winter days.
C. Freezing cold weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States. D. Burning hot weather will appear in northern Europe and the United States. 71. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. researchers have analyzed the data collected in eleven years.
B. long-term weather conditions can be accurately predicted depending on UV levels C. the research doesn’t seem accurate enough due to limited satellite data used D. climate scientists have just begun their research in severe weather forecast

People often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.
Ask anyone in a business. They will tell you that it is a jungle out there. This expression probably began because the jungle is filled with wild animals and unknown dangers. Sometimes people in business feel competing businesses are as dangerous as wild animals, and that unknown dangers in the business world threaten the survival of their business.
People have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments.
Nobody is sure how the word got started. But it began to appear in American newspapers in the 1800s. The newspaper said a criminal whose name was Borghese wrote checks to people although he did not have enough money in the bank, and after that, he would flee from the town, so people who were paid with his checks received nothing. Americans shortened and changed the criminal’s name Borghese, to bogus.
People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off. A person ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated very unfairly. It is said that the expression was first used in 1971, on a sign that a student carried during a protest demonstration in a university. The message was that the student felt ripped off.
And a successful person in business should work hard and try to get down to brass tacks. This expression means getting to the bottom or most important part of something. For example, a salesman may talk and talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how much does it cost?”
So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can prevent rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money in that jungle out there. And, some good luck will help, too.
72. Mentioning business world, people say “it is a jungle out there” in that ______. A. it is not easy to earn enough money to travel in jungles B. business world, like jungles, is full of known dangers
C. people in business will sometimes meet with failure like through jungles D. unknown dangers in the business world threaten their life
73. If consumers feel ripped off by an advertising campaign, we can say ______. A. they feel delighted B. they feel embarrassed C. they feel shamed D. they feel cheated 74. Which of the following has the expression that ISN’T properly used? A. Tourists complain of being ripped off by local cab drivers.
B. Let’s make bogus investments. How much does this computer cost?
C. I’m afraid I can give you only ten minutes’ time. Let’s get down to brass tacks at once.
D. If people say it is a jungle out there, there will be no rule and the situation will be dangerous.
75. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Several expressions related to business. B. The fierce competition in business world. C. Some principles in business.
D. The role money plays in business.

We have been hearing our parents or teachers’ instruction that helping others in need is a duty as well as a virtue since we began to form the senses of responsibility and concern in mind. Undoubtedly, it is a must in any era.
However, when handling the situations of strangers in reality, we are supposed to keep at least three tips in mind. First and foremost, having had a calm analysis on the current occasion, we then make a rational decision. Sometimes, we change the solution flexibly and accordingly. Secondly, we should promptly ask more capable people for help if it is beyond our power, such as calling their family members, dialing 110 or even asking for first aid. Above all, we can’t be too cautious about developing the awareness of self-protection lest we might be trapped into tricks.
From the above statement, we can reach a conclusion that we never hesitate to help others in need and , in the meanwhile, we take rationality, flexibility and our own security into account.
写作二
Dear Sir of Madam,
I’m Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. I’m writing to apply for the opportunity to help the students in Chenxi Hope School with their English. Thus they can improve their English during the summer vacation. Meanwhile, I can learn how to get along with the students and benefit the whole school.
I’m kind, easy-going and always ready to help others. I wash clothes and make beds by myself to develop independence. English is my favourite subject and I’ve won several prizes in English contests. So I think that I’m qualified for the position.
I plan to communicate with the students first to know what they need. Besides, I’ll try to get them more interested in English by telling stories, singing songs, playing games and so on. I’d appreciate it if you could give me the opportunity.
Yours,
Li Hua
