I took the head 　1　 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. ‎ ‎　　It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even 　2　 to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was 　3　 because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated(打败). I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to 　4　 my attitude about their ability and potential(潜能). ‎ ‎　　I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most important, I began to treat them like 　5　. That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. ‎ ‎　　Six months after being defeated on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we 　6　 the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills(兴奋, 激动) of my life! ‎ ‎　　From the 　7　 I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 　8　, and they built themselves into winners. ‎ ‎　　Winners are made, not born.‎ ‎(　　)1.A.running B.driving C.coaching D.swimming ‎(　　)2.A.practice B.make C.learn D.forget ‎(　　)3.A.sorry B.worried C.brave D.excited ‎(　　)4.A.take B.change C.insist D.catch ‎(　　)5.A.winners B.losers C.teachers D.students ‎(　　)6.A.built B.faced C.trained D.thanked ‎(　　)7.A.show B.visit C.experience D.experiment 5‎ ‎(　　)8.A.luckily B.easily C.carefully D.differently Ⅱ. 阅读理解 Green Roofs(屋顶)‎ ‎　　Why would anyone want to plant a garden on a roof? People are finding out that it is good for the environment and good for them.‎ ‎　　Cities can be as much as four to ten degrees warmer than the countryside. Green rooftops can help cool the air in cities. One green roof will not do much to change the temperature of a city. However, when more buildings begin to convert their rooftops to green spaces, it can make a real difference. Buildings that are cooler also use air conditioning less often. This reduces the amount of energy a building uses. ‎ ‎　　Cities are usually more polluted than other areas. The plants on the rooftops can even help clean the air. Gardens in the city can also provide a place for birds and bugs to live.‎ ‎　　One unusual rooftop garden is on the rooftop of Children’s Hospital in Missouri. The garden covers an area of 7,500 square feet. It is a place for the children and parents to relax and be close to nature without leaving the hospital. The garden has flowers, fountains(喷泉), and even a goldfish pond.‎ ‎　　Another interesting garden is on the rooftop of the Royal York Hotel in Canada. The hotel’s cooks can pick herbs(草本植物) they use fresh from the roof. Some other hotels and restaurants have rooftop gardens to grow plants. They just need gardeners to care for them. Rooftop gardens can dry out quickly in the summer sun, and vegetables need frequent watering.‎ ‎　　Not all buildings have green rooftops. For one thing, green rooftops can be more expensive than traditional rooftops. Also, a roof needs to be flat and strong enough to support the weight of the garden.‎ ‎　　In the past, not many people knew about rooftop gardens and how good they could be for the environment. But it is changing. You may want to keep your eyes on the skies when you walk in the streets in your town or city. You never know when you might catch a look of a secret garden many feet above the ground.‎ ‎9.The word “convert” in Paragraph 2 probably means “　　　　”. (　　) ‎ A.connect B.move C.change D.take ‎10.The sixth paragraph is mainly about 　　　　. (　　) ‎ 5‎ A.why it is difficult to have green rooftops ‎ B.when all buildings can have green rooftops ‎ C.what buildings need to have green rooftops ‎ D.how to make all buildings have green rooftops ‎11.What can we learn from the passage? (　　)‎ A.Cooks of hotels and restaurants care for plants in rooftop gardens. ‎ B.Rooftop gardens in hospitals should be larger and more beautiful. ‎ C.Rooftop gardens help people save a lot of money.‎ D.More and more people begin to know rooftop gardens.‎ Ⅲ.回答问题 ‎　　Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such a world.Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee.Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing.Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.‎ Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the mountains of Tennessee.When he grew up, he became a blacksmith.When he was doing business with those“English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas.Sequoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”.He began to wonder why people who spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.‎ In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”.At first, he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language.But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable(音节).After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols.In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly.Sequoyah’s invention was a success!‎ Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide.Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read and write.In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for Cherokee people.To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system.In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee.Sequoyah will always be remembered for his important contribution to ‎ 5‎ Cherokee people.‎ ‎12.Did the Cherokee have newspapers before 1809? ‎ ‎  ‎ ‎13.What did Sequoyah call the pieces of paper with marks? ‎ ‎  ‎ ‎14.How many symbols did Sequoyah invent in the Cherokee language?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎15.When was Sequoyah’s system made the official written language?‎ ‎  ‎ ‎16.Why will Sequoyah always be remembered?‎ ‎  ‎ 5‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ Ⅰ.1.C　2.A　3.D　4.B　5.A　6.B 7.C　8.D Ⅱ.9.C　10.A　11.D Ⅲ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文,文中主要介绍了塞阔雅(Sequoyah)对切罗基语的发展所作出的巨大贡献。‎ ‎12.No.‎ ‎13.Talking leaves.‎ ‎14.85.‎ ‎15.In 1825.‎ ‎16.Because of/For his important contribution to Cherokee people./Because he created the writing system for Cherokee language./Because he made the official written language for Cherokee people.‎ 5‎
