DLatin American Festival.BProfessional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run a darker risk: doping the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russias doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2020, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC. Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.4. The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ .”A. deafening B. conveyingC. spreading D. weakening5. Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?A. To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.B. To show cycling is very popular in France.C. To indicate doping exists everywhere.D. To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.6. Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?A. Giving birth to an unhealthy child.B. Suicidal tendencies.C. Stimulates the production of red blood cells.D. Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.7. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.B. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.C. Doping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.D. WADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.CThe regular world presented to us by our five sensesyou could call it reality 1.0is not always the most user-friendly of places. Weget lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we dont understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality (AR) or reality 2.0? AR technology adds computer-produced images (图像) on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here. With the right downloads, smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But thats just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that theres a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews ofit.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface (界面) between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Lets jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix their car wont be reading a book with pictures; they will be wearing a device that projects animated 3-D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years time these will have been replaced by contact lenses (隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of the eye. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality worlds, howwill we be communicating with each other?8. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The next information technology revolution.B. Early forms of augmented reality technology.C. The differences between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.D. The relationship between people living in reality 2.0.9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The menu. B. The block. C. The revolution. D. The restaurant.10. What are tiny LEDs used to do?A. Protect peoples eyes. B. Show text and images.C. Warn users of dangers. D. Replace video glasses.11. Whats the authors attitude towards AR technology?A. Doubtful. B. Disapproving. C. Favourable. D. Ambiguous.DYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.12. According to Paragraph 2, creators _.A. seem willing to experience failures in life. B. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wisely D. have potential to create something new13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.

Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.14. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _.A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.D. ones experiences determine his attitude toward life.15. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Music is often targeted at teenagers.
