People make themselves into winners by their own 1.I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head 2 job at a school in Baxley Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.It was a tradition fbr the schooPs old team to play against the 3 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to prepare fbr the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn't believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 4 that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to change my attitude about their ability and potential.I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 5, Most important, I beganto treat them like winners. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and 6 passing and kicking the football.Six months after suffering our defeat on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 7 fbr us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 8 of my life!From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 9 the members of a team.

My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.I knew we were already watching our "last runner”. Her feet were turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled （跛足的）and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, not to mention run a marathon.The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait fbr her to gain some distance. Then we'd slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself breathing for her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I prayed that she wouldn't.Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet standing straight and proud waited a man. He was holding one end of a ribbon tied to a post. She slowly crossed through, leaving both ends of the ribbon fluttering behind her.I don't know this woman's name, but that day she became a part of my life a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn't about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can't-do-it J I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is. 32. What words can best describe the woman?A. Proud and determined.B. Modest and courageousC. Diligent and considerate.D. Strong-willed and honorable.33. What has the author learnt from the woman?A. Don't depend on others when facing difficulties.B. Nothing is too tough to accomplish if one is brave enough.C. Ifs not winning but holding on straight to the end that really matters.D. The disabled can also run a marathon despite their walking difficulty.34. What could be the best title for the text?B. The Last Runner.A. The Annual Marathon.C. An Unforgettable Job.D. Humorous Stranger.CThe woods are turning orange. Drifts of dry leaves are growing on forest floors and flying into street corners. From a distance, it is beautiful. But the air is still warm and summery. This turning and leaf fall is not the usual gradual preparation for winter in temperate zones （温带）but a stress response by trees trying to preserve water. We are now in a false autumn, caused by heat and drought. And it feels wrong.There is, therefore, something deeply disturbing about such a graphic alteration of familiar rhythms. Droughts are not unknown to the UK, of course, and too many parts of the world are certainly familiar with far more severe versions. But increasingly they are occurring in the context of a climate emergency, and record-breaking heat. And the beauty of a false autumn, specifically, has an emotional effect, a deep weirdness, something mysteriously suggestive of evil or danger.Cultures across the world contain ceremonies for the propitiation （宽恕）of the weather; a sense of responsibility for the natural world- and the belief that it will punish us if we fail it-is as old as humanity. One of the reasons why the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1798 poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is so effective is the directness with which it links the shooting of an albatross （信天翁）一the destruction of innocent wildlife-to a terrible change in the weather: no rain, just burning, death-dealing sun. We may not understand the mechanism, but at an instinctual （本能的）level it feels right.And in a similar way it has not really been a surprise to hear that birds are struggling. In London, young swifts （雨燕）were seen falling out of the sky. Fewer-and too early-nuts and berries mean some animals will not live through this winter. Older trees, with their longer roots, will hopefully survive, but young trees may not-all that promises further warming. There will always be a degree of uncertainty about the causes of specific weather events, but we cannot deny that we have not taken care of the albatross. Now we must hope we are doing enough to make sure that these fearful golden days can be an autumn of autumns.35. According to the passage, what is a disturbing sign of "a false autumn”?A. Tree leaves are turning orange and fall gradually in winter.B. Birds are struggling to fall out of the sky in London.C People worldwide are careless of droughts and heat in the UK.D. Nuts and berries ripen earlier but yield less than before.36. Why is Coleridge's 1798 poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner so effective?A. Because people across the world sympathize with the albatross.B. Because it directly links destruction of wildlife to extreme weather.C. Because we are certain about how the weather shifts instinctually.D. Because he is an established Romantic poet curious about nature.37. What is the overall tone of the passage?A. Optimistic.B. Concerned.C. Humorous.D. Ironic（讽刺的）.DBetween the last application season and the current one, Swarthmore College, a school nationally well-known for its academic strictness, changed the requirements for students for admission into its next freshman class. It made filling out the proper forms easier.Swarthmore is hardly alone in its desire to eliminate（清除）obstacles for a bounty of applicants. Over the last decade, many elite colleges have adjusted their applications in ways that remove disincentives（抑制因素）and maximize the likelihood that the number of students contesting to get in remains robust-or, even better, grows larger.In one sense, that's a commendably egalitarian（平等主义的）approach and a sensible attempt to be sure that no qualified candidate is missed. But there's often a less pure motive in play. In our increasingly status-oriented society, a schooPs reputation is improved by a low acceptance rate, which can even influence how U.S. News & World Report ranks it. And unless a school is shrinking the size of its student body, the only way to bring its acceptance rate down is to get its number of applicants up. So, many colleges methodically generate interest only to frustrate it. They woo applicants for the purpose of turning them down.And there can be other justifications for what looks like a loosening of application demands. Smith College and several other similarly prominent colleges no longer require the SAT or ACT, and Kathleen McCamey, the president of Smith College, said that thafs not a bid for more applicants. It's a recognition that top scores on those tests correlate with high family income and may say more about an applicant's economic advantages-including, say, private SAT tutoring-than about their academic potential.Jim Bock, Swarthmore's dean of admissions, said that by lightening the essay load fbr its current applicants, the college was less concerned about increasing its overall number of applicants than about making sure candidates of great merit didn't miss out on Swarthmore and vice versa. He mentioned the hypothetical度定的）example of a high school student from a low-income family who works 10 or more hours a week and doesn't have sufficient time to do different essays fbr different schools.But will Swarthmore's applicants this year give quite as much thought regarding whether it is suitable and the right home for them? I'm betting not.When it's very easy for a student to apply to yet one more college and each school is simply another desirable box of cereal（谷物）on top shelf that he or she is determined
