one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. sometimes her family didnt have enough to eat. she ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldnt afford shoes. her mother maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby.maximes early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in waterhouses roundabout of poverty. one of the first things maxime used to do with shelly-ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.it didnt take long for shelly-ann to realize that sports could be her way out of waterhouse. on a summer evening in beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. the barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.but shelly-anns victory was far greater than that. the night she won olympic gold in beijing, the routine murders in waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped. the dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighbourhoods simply disappeared for a few days. “i have so much fire burning for my country,”shelly said. she plans to start a foundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in waterhouse. she hopes to inspire the jamaicans to lay down their weapons. she intends to fight to make it a womans as well as a mans world. as muhammad ali puts it, “champions arent made in gyms. champions are made from something they have deep inside them. a desire, a dream, a vision.”one of the things shelly-ann can be proud of is her understanding of this truth.1. why did stephen francis decide to coach shelly-ann?a.he had a strong desire to free her family from trouble.b.he sensed a great potential in her despite her weaknesses.c.she had big problems maintaining her performance.d.she suffered a lot of defeats at the previous track meets.2.what did the sprinting world think of shelly-ann before the 2008 olympic games?a.she would become a promising star.b.she badly needed to set higher goals.c.her sprinting career would not last long.d.her talent for sprinting was known to all.3.what made maxime decide to train her daughter on the track?a.her success and lessons in her career.b.her interest in shelly-anns quick profit.c.her wish to get shelly-ann out of poverty.d.her early entrance into the sprinting world.4.what can we infer from shelly-anns statement underlined in paragraph 5?a.she was highly rewarded for her efforts.b.she was eager to do more for her country.c.she became an athletic star in her country.d.she was the envy of the whole community.5.by mentioning muhammad alis words, the author intends to tell us that .a.players should be highly inspired by coachesb.great athletes need to concentrate on patiencec.hard work is necessary in ones achievementsd.motivation allows great athletes to be on the top6.what is the best title for the passage?a.the making of a great athleteb.the dream for championshipc.the key to high performanced.the power of full responsibility第三节 书面表达the other day, bbc broadcast its documentary(纪录片) “are our kids tough enough?chinese school”, in which the british and chinese teaching styles competed against each other, with both sides tested after four weeks to see who comes out on top.in this unique experiment, five chinese teachers took over a british classroom with 50 teenagers aged 13 and 14 in a british school for one month and taught them in a typical chinese way:no talking, no questions and experiencing the severe classroom discipline within an extended school-hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the meantime, another group of students were guided in the british teaching style:free talking, free questioning, thinking for themselves and relaxing learning atmosphere.at the end of the documentary, all the pupils took part in the same exams in a few subjects. next is the result.mathematicschinesesciencechinese style67.7446.8858.33british style54.8436.4650faced with the result, many netizens in britain made a strong suggestion to their education minister that britain should learn from china and adopt chinas educational style.写作内容假设英国教育部长正在向中国学生征询对上述建议的看法,请你给他写封信表达你的看法。1.用约30个单词完成上文的概要。2.用约120个单词发表你的观点,你应该:(1)阐述你对 “英国教育该不该采用中国方式”的看法;(2)用23个理由或论据支撑你的观点。写作要求1.写作时不能直接引用原文语句;2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。评分标准内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。dear minister, yours sincerely,a chinese senior student参考答案完型填空答案1.d2.d3.a4.c5.b6.a7.d8.c9.b10.d11.a12.a13.c14.b15.c16.a17.d18.b19.b20.c阅读理解答案1.b2.c3.c4.b5.d6.a书面表达one possible version:dear minister,i hear that many people in your country are suggesting britains education syste
