move acting as a team member these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.think about some of the games you played when you were in a primary school, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. such games are entertaining and fun. but perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic and practical rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.many childrens games have a practical side. children around the world play games to help them make preparations for work they will do as grown-ups. for example, some saudi arabian children show preference for a game called bones, which sharpens the precise hand-eye coordination needed in hunting.many sports encourage national or local pride. the most famous games of all, the olympics, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition and make a presentation of their talents. people who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a precious gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who has earned it and should be praised. for countries facing the pressure of natural disasters or war, an olympic win can mean so much.sports are also an event that unites people. soccer is the most popular sport in the world. people on all continents play itsome for fun and some for a living. nicolette iribarne, a californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope and power through soccer. he created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 1. through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _.a. be a team leaderb. obey the basic rulesc. act as a grown-upd. predict possible danger2. according to the passage, why is winning olympic medals so encouraging?a. it inspires peoples deep love for the country.b. it proves the exceptional skills of the winners.c. it helps the country out of natural disasters.d. it earns the winners fame and fortune.3. iribarnes goal of forming the foundation is to _.a. bring fun to poor kidsb. provide soccer balls for childrenc. give poor kids a chance for a better lifed. call on soccer players to help poor kids4. we can infer from the passage _.a. games benefit people all their livesb. sports can get all athletes togetherb. people are advised to play games for fund. sports makes a country competitivenessbthinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. to be human is to think constantly. but thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的) thinking. when you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes to construct your own ideas. otherwise, you might be controlled by others ideas. indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.the word “critical” here contains a special meaning. it doesnt mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. the nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seenbeyond the pictures on tv which are often not consistent with reality, the untrue and controversial reports in the newspapers, and the faulty and contradictory reasoning.critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. if you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. if you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. they take time, and do not consist with the fast speed in todays world: fast food, instant coffee, and self-developing film. if you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about albert einstein, who made great contributions to science during his life. the first time banesh hoffman, a contemporary scientist, was to consult albert einstein about his work, hoffman was too nervous to speak. but einstein was very considerate and immediately put hoffman at ease by saying, “please go slowly. i dont understand things quickly.”5. critical thinking is important to us because if we dont think critically, _.a. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastb. we might be controlled by other peoples ideasc. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyd. we might be fooled by other peoples ideas6. if you are a critical thinker, you will _.a. think deeply about different ideasb. trust the reports in the newspapersc. take one view against another viewd. criticize other people for their mistakes7. in the last paragraph, “something new” suggests that _.a. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsb. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomec. speed can improve intelligenced. intelligence is not decided by speed8. what would be the best title for the passage?a. thinking and critical thinkingb. understanding critical thinkingc. thinking is natural and humand. thinking fast means intelligencecin the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. electronic media can provide the same information faster and cheaper. the internet, together with laptops and cellphones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.youll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like switching on tv. an electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. youll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. want more information on the brief story? a simple touch makes the entire text appear.there are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. pictured as part of home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analyzing video images of news events.the continuing loss of readers will result in a small number of advertisements in newspapers. it makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.with the development of technology, more and more electronic medium have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger. since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists, who arent used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.9. computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages except that _.a. they are more expensive than traditional newspapersb. you can choose the kind of voice you like to hearc. you can get more information from them easilyd. you can easily store information for the future use10. the underlined word “resistance” in the fifth paragraph probably means _.a. a thought which directs your actionb. a force that acts to stop something happeningc. a force that helps you do somethingd. an idea which is different from others11. we can infer from the passage that _.a. all technological developments are very importantb. traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soonc. new things will replace the old ones in the futured. traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular12. the author writes the article to _.a. let people know the great development of the journalismb. tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the futurec. prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any mored. say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than before dmy father often talks about his definition of success. he tells us that it isnt measured in money or material things, but in love and joy. while my brothers and i were all raised together under the same roof, i wonder how different we can be sometimes. four kids, four different life paths, personalities and ambitions.we must follow a different path to let our light shine, and thats what makes us so unpredictable and unique. in todays world, expecting every childs education to be the same, progress at the same rate and be measured against the narrow standards of performances is not just outdated, its also harmful to young people.i experienced this disconnect(脱节) firsthand after graduating from college. i had many opportunities in front of me, but they didnt test my limits and my creativity to pursue my passions. at first, i took a job at a big consulting firm. however, i couldnt shake my passion for music. i had followed the somewhat predictable path of a college graduate, but i was crazy about how to become an artist. now i am a nine-time grammy awards winner who has sold multiple top 10 albums.imagine what it would look like if our schools were set up to help people discover and pursue a personal passion instead of a predictable path? the good news is that a number of individuals and organizations are finding new ways to innovate in education. the goal is to create more student-centered environments that help young people not just do better in school but also discover what they love.we cant live lives of joy if we cant discover what we love doing with our lives. so let each person discover the power and uniqueness of his or her own passion.13. what does the writers father think success should be measured in?a. pleasure.b. ability.c. wealth.d. fame.14. we can infer that the writer _.a. is devoted to reforming the education systemb. pursued his passions once he left collegec. realized his dream before his graduationd. finally became an outstanding singer15. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. where there is a will, there is a way.b. let every childs light shine.c. all that glitters is not gold.d. let bygones be bygones.第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分）
