Although he is disabled, Muniz is one of the top players at the school and captain of his gym class. He can run, dribble(运球), pass and strike the ball as well as any of his able-bodied teammates. He spends all his spare time on the football pitch.His best friend Lucas Santos spoke about his abilities on a video for the Sun, “He is skillful, he goes after it, he is fearless and he knows how to organize plays. He also makes good passes.” Mum Sandra was thrilled that her son would achieve his dreams. She said, “He started walking before he was one. We would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell.” Munizs gym teacher added, “He is challenging the social norms(标准). When he arrived there, no one believed in him.” But he showed to everyone that he could play as well as any other boy. So he was invited to go to Spain to show his talent.The Spanish La Liga soccer club has offered to fly Muniz to Spain in September, where hell be albe to show off his “fancy footwork” and meet his idol, Barca soccer player Lionel Messi.Muniz wears a prosthetic(假体的) ankle and foot to keep him get around in rainy weather. He knows that his disability means hell never be able to play for a professional football team, so Muniz is hoping that football will one day become a Paralympic(残奥会的) sport.1. What did Lucas Santos think of Munizs football abilities? A. Just so-so.B. Excellent.C. Very bad. D. Skilled.2. What can we know about Muniz according to the passage? A. He has a hope that playing football will be part of Paralympic Games. B. His biggest dream is to play for a professional football team. C. He has great difficulty in living a normal life. D. He is going to play football for the Spanish La Liga soccer club.3. Which saying can best describe Munizs experience? A. A good beginning is half done. B. All is well that ends well. C. Never put off tomorrow what we can do today. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.BHow nice are you? Do you give money to homeless people? Do you offer your seat to someone in need on a bus?Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low self-respect think less of their good qualities. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported The Guardian.The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychology(心理学) professor from the University of London, the UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population.In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate(评级) their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “Have you ever donated blood?”. The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped others carry heavy shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood.In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, the US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually chose the more attractive ones.So, why do we think were nicer than we actually are? There are many theories. A popular one says we unconsciously(无意识地) cheat ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowingly lying to ourselves or each other.How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback(反馈). Compare others opinion toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture.4. What did the new study find? A. The more confident people are, the more good qualities they have. B. Most of the people with low-respect are not nice. C. People with great confidence do not like those with low-respect. D. People are nicer in their own eyes than they really are. 5. Why did people choose the more attractive pictures of themselves? A. Because they were not happy with their own looks. B. Because they wanted themselves to look good. C. Because they lied to themselves without knowing it. D. Because they were not able to tell the difference. 6. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. How to be a nice person.B. Peoples opinion of their own niceness. C. Others opinions toward you.D. How to know ourselves well. CFor 300 years, the Slims River had been flowing through Canadas Yukon region. But last year, in only four days, the water in the big river reduced sharply, which made the river almost disappear. What happened?After a year of careful studies, a group of scientists recently said that the sudden change of the river was caused by climate change. The Slims River used to be a big river, reaching up to 150 metres at its widest points. It carried melt water from the huge Kaskawulsh glacier(冰川) into the Kluane River, then into the Yukon River toward the Bering Sea.But in spring 2016, there was a sharp melting of the Kaskawulsh glacier because of climate change. It made the melt water run in a different direction, and into a second river, the Alsek River, then into the Gulf of Alaska. It is thousands of kilometers away.In geography, this is called “river piracy”. Although it was not unusual in ancient times, this is the first time it has happened under scientists noses in modern times. The Slims River is almost dry now, which also takes away the clean air in the region because strong wind blows up all the dust in the river bed. Fish have already swum to other rivers. And sheep from Kluane National Park are now coming down to eat the fresh plants.Lonnie Thompson, a scientist from Ohio State University, the US, said that we could hardly feel the effects of climate change in our daily life, but the case of the Slims River shows what will happen when gradual temperature increases.7. Why did the Slims River almost disappear? A. Because the air pollution brought more rain to Yukon region. B. Because the climate suddenly became hotter than before. C. Because the human activities destroyed the banks of the river. D. Because the Kaskawulsh glacier did not exist any longer. 8. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The Slims River has now become part of Kluane National Park. B. The air in the region of the Slims River is still clean. C. Climate change has no effect on our daily life. D. Global warming can bring sudden changes to the environment. 9. In which direction did the water run in 2016? the Kaskawulsh glacier the Gulf of Alaska the Yukon River the Alsek River the Bering Sea the Kluane RiverA. B. C. D. 10. What may the underlined part “river piracy” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. A river suddenly disappears without any reason. B. Two rivers join together to make a bigger one. C. The flow of a river is suddenly taken away into another. D. The water in a river reduces sharply. 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。Ways to Save Money When Youre ShoppingSmart shopping is important for a low budget(预算).The following tips will help you save money when you are shopping.Make a shopping list.
