Never Say Quit
In my twenty-five years of coaching, I encountered many extraordinary athletes. Yet the
athlete who made the greatest impression on me wasnƳt one of those promising young men, but
Bobby Colson.
Early in the season, Bobby, who looked heavy but strong, 11 me in the school hallway.
He told me he was eager to join in our track team and believed he could make an important
12 . I was deeply 13 by his presentation and self-confidence.
Given his physique, the logical role for Bobby was that of a “weight man”. So he did his best
in trying discus(铁饼), shot pot ƺ, only to find out these events were not 14 for him at all.
So Bobby intended to try another more difficult event: two-mile race. I admired BobbyƳs 15 ,
but to myself,I questioned whether the two-mile race was a good choice. Yet Bobby was 16
and for the following weeks, he painfully but 17 struggled through his workouts.
Three months later, the two-mile race was well underway. While all the other runners had
already finished, Bobby 18 had three laps to go. As Bobby completed his last two of his
19 laps, several boys from the other teams started making fun of him and 20 at him to get
off the track. Bobby was crying noticeably but kept going. At this moment, our team members
noticed and went to 21 Bobby on. On the last lap, all our athletes stood up to cheer Bobby
on. Imagine a moving sight: Our whole team lined up 22 the track, clapping and cheering for
Bobby as tears 23 down his face.
After that, Bobby put in effort to support his teammates. He went from event to event 24
his teammates. When one of our athletes took a first place, Bobby was even more excited than the
winner. Every teammate 25 him very much and felt lucky to have him in the team.
Bobby had been right when he told me he felt he could make a significant contribution. He
had joined a good team and made it into a great 26 . Since then, IƳve seen many top athletes
27 the track when they knew they werenƳt going to win a race. Bobby, on the contrary, never
once 28 leaving that two-mile race. Once he 29 , quitting was not an option. His example
helped us all to understand that talent is God given, and those who have it should be thankful, but
the spirit of 30 is self-given, and we should value it.

Three Modern Services
When youƳre working a full-time job, studying or on the hunt for work, life can feel
exhausting. The good news is that modern technology has made life easier in many ways, and with
the following services, youƳll find you have more time and energy for the things that matter.
Meal kit delivery services
Meal kit delivery services are one of the most underestimated innovations of the 21st century.
How they work is simple. At the beginning you choose how many people need to eat in your
英语试卷 第 4 页(共 12 页)
household. Then, what your dietary requirements are, and any other preferences. Finally, you get
to choose which meal kits will be delivered to your door.
No matter your diet, you can have an appropriate meal kit delivered. For example, check out
these low carb meal delivery options. The kit comes complete with all the ingredients you need,
already prepared. All you have to do is to follow the simple recipe to put them together and pop
your meal in the oven.
With meal kit delivery, you donƳt have to worry about cooking or spending money on takeout.
Your trips to the grocery store will become easier and youƳll waste less money and food.
Taskrabbit
One of the most frustrating aspects of having a place you call your own is that you have to take
care of the maintenance(维修). Even if you are renting, there are certain tasks that your landlord
will expect you to see to, whether a leaky tap or a problematic electrical appliance.
For this, Taskrabbit connects you with freelancers who are willing to take on just about any
task for you. You can hire someone to take care of your leaky tap rather than spending your own
time and energy doing it. YouƳre giving someone work while enjoying your time off.
Postmates
Finally, one of the most convenient and useful services is, of course, Postmates. With
Postmates, you can get just about anything delivered or deliver something yourself. You can get
someone to do your groceries for you — simply make a list of what you need and choose whether
the shopper should call you if something is out or if they can decide on replacements themselves.
You can also use it for takeout, to send or receive documents, and any other delivery needs
you have.
We live in an age of convenience, and we should take advantage of it. Start using the above
services and youƳll see your stress levels drop.
31. What will people first do to enjoy Meal kit delivery services?
A. To check out some options.
B. To pop your meal in the oven.
C. To confirm the exact number of people.
D. To follow the simple recipe to put them together.
32. What do the three Modern Services have in common?
A. They can help people save money.
B. All the Modern Services are top-level.
C. They can make people easily enjoy their lives.
D. Young people show their preference for the three Modern Services.

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to
work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was
sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window.
“Hey!” she shouted. “IƳm driving around giving free haircuts. If I
go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”
The man looked to be in his 60s. He was balding, and missing a few
teeth. As Steller liked to tell the story, he laughed, then paused.
“Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut. ”
Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After
the work was finished, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Until last year, Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘) around
the city. She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
“ItƳs more than a haircut,” she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect,
but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships. ”
Steller knew that a haircut could change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered
from a severe disease, her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for StellerƳs
first professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an
illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she said.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the
way sheƳd felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she
now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing
some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe
IƳd go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I canƳt fix their problems, but maybe I can help
them feel less alone for a moment. ”
It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you
show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with
the kindness that you give them. ”

Why is poverty so difficult to overcome? Why are poorer people less likely to invest in their
own learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video
games?
In the past, a poor person was normally considered to have bad character or have no
ambition. Banerjee corrects such views and explains the economics behind the poor. Poor people
tend to live with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions, cell
phones, junk food and video games to relieve worries more than others. But investment in learning
often takes a long time to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic reasons,
and their life in the meantime is getting more worrisome and boring.
That goes for health. Banerjee and his wife find that the poor spend the same amount of money
and time, or even more on health and medical care than the middle class group, but they tend to
get bad effects. The reason is that the poor often lack the essential medical and healthy knowledge
and they tend to get medical treatment when the disease has worsened to a certain stage. Besides,
they tend to trust the doctors who “give strong medicine” because they believe such doctors are the
英语试卷 第 7 页(共 12 页)
“good ” ones. But in fact, “ strong medicine ” always leads to resistance to drugs and
overtreatment. This kind of attitude, which emphasizes treatment rather than early prevention, has
brought many poor people more economic stress and physical damage, and even has affected the
education of their next generation. According to the study, children in poorer physical condition
tend to spend less time in school and have lower incomes after graduation, so poverty gets
“inherited”.
When it comes to finance, BanerjeeƳs research has found that the poor often need to borrow
little and short-term loans while paying extremely high interest rates. It is also because the poor
tend to take higher financial risks — they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get
working capital from banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans
put a brake on their savings against risks.
How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for
the extremely poor, itƳs impossible to get the capital they need to start a business. In most cases, a
more practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking,
government jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long
term, to increase the range of their thinking and thus enabling families to move from poverty to the
middle class.
BanerjeeƳs research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that
policies can be tailored to decrease poverty and ultimately eliminate(消除) it.
38. How do the poor deal with the issue of health?
A. They spend less money in preventing disease.
B. They focus more on the diseases than early prevention.
C. They usually think it essential to resist strong medicine.
D. They are willing to get free medical treatment from the government.
39. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that .
A. poverty is produced by the poor
B. poverty is passed down by their parents
C. poverty has some bad effects on the poor
D. poverty causes people to bear more economic stress
40. Banerjee considers it difficult to overcome poverty because .
A. the poor have bad character or have no ambition
B. the poor prefer to invest in business rather than work
C. the government hasnƳt taken proper and effective measure
D. the poor were troubled by their lives, health and finance
英语试卷 第 8 页(共 12 页)
41. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The poor have attached importance to education.
B. The government canƳt provide the jobs for the poor.
C. All the poor need to start a business for their survival.
D. BanerjeeƳs research is helpful for the government to rid of poverty.
D
AI can identify rare genetic disorders
People with genetic syndromes(基因遗传综合症) sometimes have revealing facial features,
but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be tricky when there are hundreds of
possible conditions they may have. A new neural(神经的) network that analyses photographs of
faces can help doctors narrow down the possibilities.
Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at
the gestalt(形态) — or overall impression of faces and return a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a
person is most likely to have.
They trained the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labeled to
correspond to more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to identify potential
genetic disorders from a further 502 photographs of people with such conditions. It included the
correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.
Gurovich and his team also tested the AIƳs ability to distinguish between different genetic
mutations (突变) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used images of people with Noonan
syndrome, which can result from mutations in one of five genes. DeepGestalt accurately identified
the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time.
“ItƳs clearly not perfect,” says Gurovich. “But itƳs still much better than humans are at trying
to do this. ”
As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the
determination are highlighted and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand
the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.
The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions of privacy. If faces
can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle,
secretly use such techniques to discriminate against people with a high probability of having certain
disorders.
However, Gurovich says the tool will only be available to doctors. Christoffer Nellaker at the
University of Oxford says this technique could bring significant benefits for those with genetic
英语试卷 第 9 页(共 12 页)
syndromes.
“This is not fundamentally different information than weƳre sharing walking down the street,
or weƳre happy to share with Facebook or Google,” he says. “But questioning the data in this way
means you can obtain information about health or disease status. ”
“The real value here is that for some of these extreme rare diseases, the process of diagnosis
can be many, many years. This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and
then be confirmed through checking genetic markers,” he says.
For some diseases,this kind of technology will cut down the time to diagnose thoroughly. For
others, it could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease and, in turn, help
find new treatments or cures.
42. What is the purpose of GurovichƳs neural network?
A. To test the AIƳs ability.
B. To analyze photographs of faces.
C. To help doctors reduce the range of the diagnosis.
D. To research the overall impression of patientsƳ faces.
43. What disadvantage does Deep Gestalt bring?
A. It will probably involve in the peopleƳs privacy.
B. It cannot provide information about health or disease.
C. The diagnosis based on a simple photograph is not accurate.
D. It could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The result of the assessments for this system is perfect.
B. Deep Gestalt can correctly label 200 genetic syndromes.
C. It seems doubtful to use AI to distinguish genetic mutations.
D. This kind of technology can speed up the diagnostic process.
45. What is the authorƳs attitude to this technique?
A. Supportive. B. Puzzled.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.

The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on 22 March since1992. Each year has a
different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop
wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.
英语试卷 第10 页(共 12 页)
46 But it is also vital for sanitation ( 卫 生). It is estimated that more than
700 children under the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor
sanitation. The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. 47
These include rural communities, people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts
and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer.
Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of accessible clean water means that people —
often women and children — spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies.
This means they donƳt have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties.
48 And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly
vulnerable.
There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different
communities around the world. 49 But the fundamental problem of increasing demand
for a limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry
and agriculture. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques
and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.
50 We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water
Day events that are happening all around the world and, of course, be careful with how we use
water in our own lives. Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us.
Follow world water day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important
issue.
A. Clean drinking water is fundamental.
B. As individuals, what can we do to help the issue?
C. The search for water becomes their main occupation.
D. This important work needs to continue and to expand.
E. Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.
F. In normal conditions, the human body can only survive three or four days
without water.
G. However, there are still at least 2. 1 billion people around the world living
without safe water.
