Her return to her high school recently included a chance for the young woman to tell what she’s learned since running track (参加田径赛) for Waubonsie more than four years ago. Her first piece of advice to the crowd of students was asking them to listen to their parents. “They see things you can’t see,” she said. “In high school I thought I was on the top of the world.” In Akinosun’s case, her parents encouraged her to consider going to the University of Illinois, ‎ which at the time had a team that was coached by Olympic medal winner Tonja Buford-Bailey. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without my parents,” she said. Her parents saw Buford-Bailey as a good fit to coach their daughter, something Akinosun said she didn’t understand at the time. It didn’t take long, however, for her to see they were right and she ended up following Buford-Bailey to the University of Texas at Austin when the coach took a job there. Akinosun admitted it was three years before she told her parents they were right. Becoming an excellent athlete who can take part in the Olympics needs serious dedication. She says her success came from viewing herself as an athlete-student instead of a student-athlete. “I always put track and field first, and then comes school,” Akinosun said. A social life comes last. “It’s about sacrifices (牺牲). You can’t be on the track team unless you’re chosen,” she added. Making athletics the most important thing in her life meant committing (完成) fully, no matter how she might feel on a given day. “I never missed a training session (环节) in my four years in college,” she said. “It’s my job; it’s what I do. Think about that when you want to sleep.”‎ ‎21. Akinosun’s first piece of advice suggests ______. A. she was a big fan of Buford-Bailey in high school B. she made up her mind to win Olympic medals in high school C. she still doesn’t want to admit that her parents helped her a lot D. she is thankful to her parents for finding her the right coach ‎22. According to Akinosun, she became a successful athlete because ______.‎ ‎ A. she had great confidence in herself B. she always put training before anything else C. she was pushed by her coach to train hard D. she could keep a good balance between school and training ‎23. The underlined word “dedication” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______. A. a strong desire B. knowing oneself ‎ C. a clear purpose D. committing fully ‎24. If asked to make a newspaper, which part will you put the article in? A. Fashion B. Celebrities C. Science D. Events B If you have spent any time living in or visiting a big city in China, you have most likely used the service that Didi provides. The convenient ride-sharing company, now known as Didi Chuxing, was praised last month by Fortune magazine. According to the magazine, it is changing the world with its environmentally friendly solution to getting around in major cities. As the magazine reported: “Didi concluded that last year its car-pooling services helped reduce total car trips in the country by 1 million a day, which saved 500 million liters of gas, cutting 13.5 million tons of carbon emissions (排放) per day.” The transport service was the only Chinese company to make the important magazine’s list, and its influence can be felt in many parts of Chinese society.‎ Didi is just one example of what is being called the “sharing economy”. The sharing economy is one in which regular people exchange goods and services, usually using an online marketplace. Other similar companies include companies that allow people to rent out their homes to strangers like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, and similar ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft.‎ All of these services are possible partly because many people are realizing that they have underused assets in their lives. Millions of people around the world have started renting them out online to earn extra money. They rent their apartments while they are away for the weekend, lend people their cars for money and even sell their spare time.‎ The sharing economy is the latest example of the Internet’s value to customers. This model is now big enough for regulators and companies to have woken up to it. That is a sign of its great potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.‎ ‎25. What does the first paragraph imply?‎ ‎ A. Didi Chuxing can bring down the price of gas.‎ ‎ B. Didi Chuxing has solved the traffic jam in China.‎ ‎ C. Didi Chuxing is helpful to environment.‎ ‎ D. Didi Chuxing is the best transport service in China.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “assets” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Possessions. B. Services. C. Houses. D Cars.‎ ‎27. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To stress the importance of online services. ‎ ‎ B. To introduce the “sharing economy”.‎ ‎ C. To advertise a new means of transport. ‎ ‎ D. To explain the benefits of using Didi.‎ C What horrors hide in our subconscious (潜意识）？ According to a new French study on sleep-talking, researchers found the most commonly used word is “no”, and the French swearword (骂人的话）“putain” occurred, reports the New York Times, “800 times more often in sleep than when awake”. The study also found that men sleep-talked more than women and used more swearwords.‎ Sleep-talking is a form of sleep disorders. “In my experience, it can be linked to the nervous system being overactive, which can be related to the overuse of technology before bed or too much coffee, says Dr Nerina. “But these sorts of behaviors can happen with people who are quite hard on themselves. They're perfectionists, but they often hold back on saying what they really want to say. When they go to bed at night, it comes out into the sleep.”‎ The idea that you can find someone's deepest secrets while they are asleep is irresistible. There are apps that record sleep-talking. But can you admit to a murder in your sleep? Or to having a lover? Prof. Horne suggests we shouldn’t read too much into what is said. “Sleep-talking lends to occur in very light sleep,” he says. Sleep-talking isn’t related to dreaming but to the lighter sleep. It’s really the wanderings of a rather confused mind. ”‎ It is much more common in children, and the majority of people grow out of it. “Anxiety and stress tend to bring it on,” says Horne. “Sleep-talkers are generally reflecting some sort of aspect of a worry. I think it’s best not to place too much concern on sleep-talking and not take the words said by someone seriously.”‎ However, sleep-talking might tell you one thing. Someone who often does it is probably quite anxious and it might be a good idea to find out what is worrying them.‎ ‎28. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Swearwords occur more often when people are awake.‎ B. Adults sleep-talk less since they are happier than kids.‎ C. Sleep-talking has an obvious connection with dreaming.‎ D. People don't need to worry too much about sleep-talking.‎ ‎29. According to the text, the most likely cause of sleep-talking is _______ .‎ A. hard work and lack of sleep B. advances in modern technology C. one’s deepest secrets D. constant worry and tension ‎30. What is the text mainly about? ‎ A. How subconscious works. B. When sleep disorders arise.‎ C. What sleep-talking means. D. Why people feel anxious.‎ 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。‎ Your beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life. 31 If you believe that you are loser, that you never get a break in life or that you can't accomplish anything, these things will be your reality. Believe you are unlimited and that you can do anything you commit to doing. When you do, your accomplishments will know no doubts.‎ You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life. This is a very important point. 32‎ ‎ Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. 33 If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with. Get around positive and successful people.‎ ‎ 34 That is why it is so important to experience on a regular basis. Set small, achievable goals, and try your best to reach them." I will finish this project by early afternoon." "I will exercise for 20 minutes tonight. "When you experience success, you will believe in success, and that leads to more successes.‎ Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more you will know to be possible. Always take advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.‎ Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting new goals for your life. 35 Then, in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. Mentally live the experience, see the sights, hear the sounds, smell the aroma and feel the feelings. Your developed beliefs will lead you to their reality.‎ A. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, work hard to change it.‎ B. Set your goals in your mind and attempt to reach them.‎ C. Whatever you believe is what you will become.‎ D. Beliefs also come from past experience.‎ E. Set your goals clearly and exactly.‎ F. Belief comes from achievable goals.‎ G.
