NEW ZEALANDBConsider this: LeBron James made $71 million last year. Nurses who give a lot of time and energy to take care of others didnt make that much. Firefighters who pull little kids out of burning buildings didnt make that much. The president of the United States who runs the entire country didnt make that much. Not even close.And that is a problem. What does it say about our society when we pay athletes men and women who play games for a living millions more than we pay people who save lives? Do we value entertainment more than health and safety? Is petition more important to us than pity and public service?Of course, not all professional athletes make as much as LeBron, but the average salaries for professional football, baseball, basketball, and hockey players all tend to be in the $2 million to $ 5 million a year range. pare that with the average salary for a family: $54,000. Whats more, many Americans will work a full-time job until they are about 70 years old and not make as much in a lifetime as an athlete like Tom Brady makes in one year ($36 million).Its true that the careers of athletes are short, which means players have a smaller window of time to earn money. But retired athletes can go on to lucrative jobs. Many former athletes bee coaches, sports mentators, or public speakers.Athletes do deserve to make a good living. They encourage and entertain us, and they work hard. Training can be very tiring and difficult. Injuries are a long-lasting threat, especially in sports like football and hockey. But there are plenty of people who have difficult and dangerous jobs, and no one is handing them too much money.Professional athletes are certainly impressive, but are they really worth millions of dollars more than the rest of us?24.The author expressed his idea mainly by_.A. making parisons.B. telling interesting stories.C. showing his own experiences.D. presenting research findings.25.What does the underlined word “lucrative” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Moneymaking.B. Troublesome.C. petitive.D. Interesting.26.What does the author agree with?A. Professional athletes have easy lives.B. The sports industry creates many jobs.C. Professional athletes careers are short.D. People value petition more than pity.27.What does the author say about professional athletes salary?A. He is against it. B. He supports it.C. He has doubts about it. D. He is unconcerned about it.C In xx, I read an article about 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick, who jumped off her towns water tower because shed been cyberbullied (网络欺凌). I was heartbroken. I started looking up other stories, reading about kids hanging themselves in their bedrooms after being told the world would be a better place without them. It hit me hard. Ive always been interested in the brain. It controls so much of what we do, and we understand so little about it. Scientifically speaking, the reason why young people are more likely to act impulsively (冲动的) is because the part of the brain that is supposed to control decision-making skills isnt fully developed until age 26.I decided to explore the relationship between that and bullying. I thought “What if I give kids a rethink word almost force them to do it?” Thats when the experiment began. I spent months doing the research. Young people were presented with offensive (侮辱的) messages and then asked to choose, “Would you post this?” or “Would you not post this?” If they said, “Sure, Ill post You are so ugly on social media,” we said, “Hold on! Are you sure you want to do this?” We found that over 93 percent of the time young people changed their minds. The overall willingness to post a message actually dropped from 71 percent to 4 percent. I knew I was onto something.I entered the Google Science Fair and was chosen as a global finalist(决赛选手), one of the top 15. It was the first time Google had accepted a behavioral science project into the finals. I lost, but it hit me: Maybe people could use this. I ended up creating ReThink.I released two apps this past August, ReThink for Android and ReThink for iOS. Were now working with schools, parents, and teachers. Our goal is to help students download the app onto their mobile phones. ReThink could bee more than a solution. It could bee a movement, a mind-set, a call to action.28.What saddened the author?A. Deaths happened because of cyberbullying. B. Rebecca Sedwick was treated unfairly.C. Some acts of violence online. D. Some online stories.29.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. How kids brain develops. B. The way to form good character.C. How to improve decision-making skills. D. The reason young people fail to control themselves.30.How does ReThink work?A. By erasing unfriendly public opinion.B. By changing a hurtful message into a polite one.C. By forcing kids to think twice about their problems.D. By asking teens to reconsider before posting a message.31. Which of the following word would best describe the author?A. Careful and responsible. B. Humorous and clever.C. Creative and helpful.D. Proud and brave.DIf you have a chance to take a walk in a park, look carefully at the people walking their dogs. Youll probably find friendly-looking people with friendly dogs; quiet people with quiet dogs; large men with oversized dogs and long-haired women with long-eared dogs. As youve probably noticed, dogs and their owners look alike. Have you ever wondered why?These similarities are so mon that researchers have tried to explain them. There are two theories：the convergence theory and the selection theory. The convergence theory says that as the owner and the dog spend more time together, they influence each other to the point where they grow similar. In other words, they “converge.” The selection theory, on the other hand, says that owners are interested in dogs that look like them, so they choose those dogs as pets.Recently, researchers at the University of California decided to test the two theories by taking pictures of 45 dogs separately from their owners. Then they asked some students to match the dogs photos with their owners. The students were quite successful with purebred（纯种的）dogs: they correctly matched 16 out of 25 with their owners. However, they had almost no success connecting mixed-breed（杂交的）dogs with their owners. When owners select a purebred dog, they can easily predict what it will look like later. But that is not true with mixed-breed dogs because its hard to predict what a mixed-breed dog will look like when it grows up. And since it was the purebreds not the mixed-breeds that looked like their owners, the research seems to prove the “selection theory”.But one bit of warning. Although many people look like their dogs, not all dog owners enjoy having the similarity pointed out to them. So, even if the similarity is amazing, dont go up to a stranger and say, “Wow, you look just like your dog!”32. The convergence theory explains that the similarity between dogs and their owners A. decreases with the age of them.B. decreases with increasing differences.C. increases with the period of ownership.D. increases with increasing attractiveness.33. According to the selection theory, why do dogs look like their owners?A. They influence each other.B. They often do the same thing.C. Dogs follow what their owners do.D. Owners pick dogs that look like them.34. Whats the purpose of the research? A. To test two similarity theories. B. To prove the selection theory. C. To help people choose proper dogs. D. To show the differences between dogs.35. What can we learn from the research? A. Purebred dogs have predictable appearance.B. Most owners want their dogs to look like them. C. Mixed-breeds and their owners share similarities.D. Most owners prefer purebred dogs to mixed-breeds.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ideas for bringing order to your lifeYou think youre a clean person.
