The children need to learn how to be gracious winners and losers. And we need to help them understand that losing at something does not mean they are a failure.Competition in school is helpful to the students. Having competition makes learning fun, it gives students motivation, it also gives them a challenge and reasons to pay attention to.Competition in school makes the learning process fun. Kids can participate in games like spelling games or jeopardy(冒险智力游戏). When they play these games children get points for offering correct answers to the questions. Kids like playing these games because they give them a break from the regular lectures and tests. It can also offer rewards such as homework passes or candy to whoever or the team which wins each game. Jeopardy games can fit into almost every type of subject and be formed around almost any type of material. This also gives a child or student a chance to learn what they have already known and what they should study more before a big test.Student often need more motivation in the classroom. This gives them self support to do better and learn more. It also gives them more motivation to ask more questions and to further study about the subject outside the classroom. Competition gives them a challenge to want to be the best in class which makes them be better at school and to receive better grades. It also gives them more reasons to pay attention in class. When they pay attention in class they learn more. This also gives some of the kids reason of not sleeping in class but studying more at home and in class.21. The author explains “Competition makes learning fun” by .A. presenting research findingsB. describing a scene in schoolC. giving examplesD. making a comparison22. We can learn from the last paragraph that .A. there are many ways to raise students gradesB. competition makes students more focused in classC. students are under great pressure in schoolD. competition seldom offers a challenge to students23. The best title of the passage is .A. Students are Satisfied with CompetitionB. Motivation is Involved in CompetitionC. Competition is Good for TeachersD. Competition is Beneficial to StudentsBNo need to head to the movie theater or download the video game app: Angry Birds can be found right in your backyard this summer-if you live in the suburbs, that is. Virginia Tech researchers recently found that birds that live in suburban areas exhibit significantly higher levels of territorial aggression than their country counterparts. The results were recently published in Biology Letters.“A possible reason for this is that these birds have less space but better resources to defend,”said Scott Davies, a postdoctoral associate in biological sciences in the College of Science. “Living near humans provides better food and shelter, but it also means more competition for these limited resources.”Davies and co-author Kendra Sewall, an assistant professor of biological sciences in the College of Science, measured territorial aggression in 35 urban and 38 rural male song sparrows at three rural and three urban sites in the New River Valley during the spring of 2015.The Virginia Tech and Radford University campuses served as the (sub) urban sites due to their levels of human impact. Rural sites included Kentland Farm and Heritage Park. In these settings,the researchers played a recording of a male song sparrow and observed how the territory-holding birds responded to a simulated intrusion from a neighbor.Campus birds showed a higher level of aggression: they approached and remained near the speaker, flapped their wings furiously, engaged in loud singing and then began to produce soft song - a term that researchers use to describe the quiet noise that a bird makes, which is predictive of a coming attack.Though rural birds still responded to a song intrusion, they did not respond as vigorously.The researchers placed small leg bands on the birds to identify individuals, and recorded each individuals responses twice, several weeks apart. The suburban birds were more territorial on both occasions, showing that their increased aggression lasts throughout a breeding season.24. Why does the author mention “Angry Birds” in the first paragraph?A. To introduce a video game app.B. To arouse the readers interest in the topic.C. To analyze the reason why this app is so popular.D. To compare the realistic birds and the virtual birds.25. What can we learn from the passage?A. Suburban birds act more aggressively than rural birds.B. Urban birds must fight for the abundant food.C. Birds producing soft song means attacking is ready.D. Rural birds didnt react to the recording of the song at all.26. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To stress the importance of protecting birds.B. To inform us of the difficulties of an experiment.C. To show urban birds enjoy a better life than rural ones.D. To tell us birds territorial aggression in different areas.27. Where can we read this passage?A. In a biography textbook.B. In an experiment report.C. In a science magazine.D. In an environmental journal.CJimmys mother called out to him at seven in the morning, “Jimmy, get UP. Its time for school.” He answered, “Mother, Im not going to school. Therere fifteen hundred kids at that school and every one of them hates me. All the teachers hate me, too. I dont understand it. Why would you want to put me through all of that suffering?” “Jimmy, for two good reasons,” she fired back. “Firstly, youre forty-two years old. Secondly, youre in charge of the whole school.”There are few of us who, on some days, have not felt like Jimmy. We just do not want to go to school. That school, of course, is life itself, where dropping out can seem a much better idea than facing the challenges that inevitably lie ahead.Pablo Casals, the great musician, was asked why he continued to practice five hours a day at eighty-five years of age. He replied, “Because I think Im getting better.” To grasp the significance of this more fully, let me explain the success in our culture. Through the over-exposure and media attention given to the rich and powerful, we believe that some people have made it. The lie is that they then live happily ever after. Those who have made it in order to “make it” discover that happy life ever after doesnt exist.Success begins the moment we understand that life is about growing; it is about acquiring the knowledge and skills, which we need to live more fully and effectively. Life is meant to be a never-ending education, and when this is fully appreciated, we are no longer survivors but adventurers. Life becomes a journey of discovery, an exploration into our potential. Any joys we experience in living are the fruits of our willingness to risk, our openness to change, and our ability to create what we want for our lives.If you have already risked much and lost much, it doesnt matter. Mistakes dont matter. Failure doesnt matter. What matters is that you learned from your mistakes and failures. A successful bank president was being interviewed by a reporter:“Sir, to what do you owe your success?”“Thats easy to answer: good decisions.”“And to what do you attribute your good decisions?”“Thats easier still: the wisdom gained from experience.”“And where did you get that experience?”“Easy again: bad decisions!”28. Whats Jimmys problem?A. Being too old to get to school.B. Having difficulty in understanding teachers.C. Getting through much suffering from schooling.D. Having trouble getting along with workmates and students.29. What does the writer intend to tell us by giving the example of Pablo Casals?A. Progress and excellence in work is possible only with hard practice.B. Challenges are waiting for you even after you have achieved some success.C. Valuable lessons from experiences greatly improve the quality of life.D. Memorable life should be filled with traditional meaning of culture.30. What can be concluded from the interview between the reporter and the bank president?A. Failure teaches success.B. Wisdom flows from experience.C. Even the best of us make mistakes.D. Past lessons guide us in the future.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。Traffic Rules in America 31 Keep RightThe traffic follows the “keep right rule”.
