The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8x50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal.That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8x50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter's gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place. 注意：1 .续写词数应为150左右；2 .请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。My turn arrived and I took the baton （接力棒）cleanly and began my run.As a result, I left the meet empty-handed.Not open to Seniors.Dates: 24 July-24 August1.

They are open to any college student.I am thinking today about my new favorite thing. It's an app that my husband told me a few years ago that helps me bypass all the obstacles （障碍）in my way: potholes, heavy traffic, and even speed cameras.To be honest, when my husband first told me about it, I didn't pay much attention. I was only going to places I already knew how to get to. Plus, I learned to drive from my father-who never turned to a map. I think I mistakenly absorbed the message that real drivers didn't need a map; you somehow just magically knew where to go. It was only later that I realized that just getting a driver's license didn't mean you knew how to get to places一that was lesson one. Lesson two came when my kids started playing on two different travel teams. The drivers in our household suddenly had the need to head in different directions on the same day.Suddenly my app became very meaningful to me. How did I ever manage to get to strange playing fields hidden somewhere without it? But the crazy thing I have also noticed is how often I just don9t listen to it. Why might that be? Do I just prefer the old routes, even if they are actually worse? I see an analogy （类比）to the present moment. There is evidence that some old ideas and some long familiar ideas will send us into a boring unchanging lifestyle. But for some reason we like them better than an unfamiliar new route that might take us into areas we've never heard of, let alone visited.It can be hard to admit we don't know everything. As a person who still drives an8-year-old stick shift and who has never stood in line for anything new, I certainly understand that. But I also try to remember the times I let go of my ego （自负），or my fear, and learned that life could be better. Not perfectbut better. I am glad I finally listened to my husband about that app. He was right.4. What did the author think of the app at the very beginning?A.It was magical.B.It was practically valueless.C.It was powerful.D.It was not as good as a map.5. What would probably make the author ignore the app's instructions?A.Her desire to explore alone.B.Her doubt about the new device.C.Her preference for the new routes.D.Her refusal to experience changes.6. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is willing to challenge herself.B.She cares little about others' comments.C.She recognizes her problems easily.D.She is too inflexible to make any change.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Real Drivers Know Their WayB.It Pays to Take a New RouteC.New Apps Make Life PerfectD.It Matters to Listen to Inner VoiceResearchers set up an experiment in which 5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under different circumstances of transparency （透明）and different audiences. They set up a sticker machine that in some settings was transparent, and other settings in which only the giver of stickers knew how many stickers he could give. They had children give out stickers in both settings. The results were striking: children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options. Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn't see the options.The researchers said, "Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in the condition when they could see the receiver and their allocations （分配物）were fully visible; in all other conditions, children were statistically ungenerous, giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers.They made the conclusions that at a very early age, children are learning how to position themselves socially. Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiverobserves them.Children change their behavior in response to having an audience. Help children give to others in full view, delivering meals to families, and in private, dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names. Also, children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive. When we give gifts or lend help to others, try to help children remember why-to provide something for another. It really doesn't have to be recognized. When a thank-you card doesn't come, it doesn't make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for those who were lucky enough to receive.8. What did the researchers discover?A. The givers' behavior greatly inspired the receivers to help in return.B , The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings.C. The presence of an audience affected children's decisions to give.D. Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.9. Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers?A. Observing the givers.B. Donating more stickers.C. Gaining a reputation.D. Receiving more allocations.10. What does the underlined word “apprehend” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Share.B. Predict.C. Confirm.D. Understand.11. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To suggest recognizing others' kindness.B. To acknowledge the giver's contribution.C. To confirm the benefits of being grateful.D. To advise inspiring generosity inchildren.In a new finding that goes against current conservation patterns, re-introducing wolves and other predators （捕食者）to our landscapes does not amazingly reduce deer populations, restore worsening ecosystems or significantly threaten livestock （家禽），according to a new study.“The hopes and fears that we have on both sides of the debate一neither are realized/9 said conservation biologist Bernd Blossey, professor of natural resources and the environment at Cornell University. On the one hand, there is little evidence for claims that re-introducing large predators such as wolves, bears and mountain lions is a major threat to livestock and wild animals such as white-tailed deer and mule deer. When the wolf was taken off the endangered species list, hunters and livestock producers, and some state governments, called for action to safeguard the wildlife they wanted to hunt and the livestock that was their livelihood. But it is nearly impossible to independently evaluate those claims, Blossey said. Other factors also kill livestock, from lightning strikes to extreme weather and diseases.On the other hand, the claim that wolves and other predators can control deer populations and restore worsening ecosystems lacks evidence as well. "Meaningfully reducing deer populations in Wisconsin alone would require tens of thousands of wolves, which is ecologically and socially impossible,said Blossey. And wolves alone can't repair the ecological damage humans have done, he said. A popular video “How wolves change rivers J which has been viewed more than 43 million times, suggests that the re-introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park benefited the entire ecosystem. "I was as fooled like everybody else by the lovely stories that came out of Yellowstone saying, you bring wolves back, and you restore the rivers, and everything's satisfactory,said Blossey.We should see large predators like wolves as a valuable part ecological communities in their own right, Blossey said, and not just for their function. "As long as people learn to live with and tolerate the new (old) neighbors, a careful but not fully conflict-free existence appears possible,“ said Blossey.12. Which of the following does Blossey probably agree with? A. The loss of livestock may not necessarily be due to wolves. B. People should not take wolves off the endangered species list C. People should take action to protect livestock and wild animals. D. The threat to predators comes from climate change and diseases.13. Which word best describes Blossey's attitude to the video “How wolves change rivers? A. Tolerant.B. Unclear.C. Doubtful.D. Favorable.14. What does Bernd Blossey say about large predators in the last paragraph?A. They upset the balance of the ecosystem.B. They should rightfully stay in their habitats.C. They are key to restoring the environment.D. They change people's view about rewilding.15 . What is the text mainly about?A. The value of humans9 living together with animalsB , The importance of restoring worsening ecosystems.C. A debate over the threat to livestock and wild animals.D. A clarification of the effects of bringing back the wolves.二、七选五The road to learning how to take personal responsibility can be a difficult one, but starting simple really works. 16 Here is some advice you need to follow.Focus on the basics of your journey.Just like the ocean, our life has many ups and downs. If you start building a solid sailboat, you can withstand （经受）the weather. The solid boat represents your basic needs: safety, self-esteem （自尊）and connection with others. 17Open your sails and be willing to fail.Do not lay too much stress on the destination. Just head in the right direction. 18 You're supposed to take the courage to really open your sails. When you devote yourself to what you are doing, you will forget about your insecurities and worries.19As you sail through life, are you making goals and plans, or are you simply letting things happen and watching life pass? Working on goal setting enables you to measure your progress and take responsibility for all you have and haven't done to achieve them.Live in the moment.As you're moving through the ocean of your life, are you really concentrating on each present moment, or are your thoughts set on the past and future? Do you complain about mistakes others made that forced you into a difficult position? 20 Start taking personal responsibility for each thought and emotion that passes through you.A. Reach your goals.B , Move forward with intention.C. Then begin to tackle the more difficult aspects.D. So check in and make sure that they are being met.E. Stop blaming others or situations if you really want to enjoy each moment.F. Everyone can edge closer to that stage through taking personal responsibility.G. You must enjoy the sail by finding purpose and following that desire to explore.三、完形填空My son Darcy, 10, begged “No more needles”, tears rolling down his cheeks. Seeing him so 21 broke my heart. Darcy had a surgery and the needle would provide a blood transfusion （输血）. It looked like the 22 was successful, but Darcy only got sicker.Darcy often asked, “Mom, when can I see my 23?” "Soon, sweetie," I'd reply.But with a weak immune （免疫的）system, it was 24 for him to return to school. At first, my words seemed 25 but as the months passed, I watched as Darcy became26. While he was in hospital, his friends were enjoying their lives without him. I could27 he was giving up.I consulted the school about 28 Darcy's education in the hope of creating more29 for him and I got the reply "If he's well enough”. At that point, I wondered if this had happened to thousands of kids around the country.30, a year later, Darcy got better enough to go back to school!One day, I talked with some friends, who had 31 kids too. We all agreed that there should be a way to keep them in the classroom 32 with their mates, even if they can't 33 be there. Later, we got to know some sort of robot, which could just34 the need.
