He had amazing athletic abilitiesand was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger toadversity(逆境).Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary skillsin his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardshipbrought upon by racial prejudice (偏見). Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grewup poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of hisparents.But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothingseemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete inthe Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised (臨時拼湊) by getting shoes outof garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot toeven them out.He still went on to win two gold medals - winning each event he competed in except forone, the javelin (標槍). The javelin was the only event he didn't win, probably because he hadnever competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw thejavelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn't know that he could throw itwith a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.I think Paul Dughi said it best, "It's hard to imagine that now professional athletes getpaid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn'tmatter what kind he wore."30. What do we know about Thorpe A. He gained athletic skills through hard training.B. His success was no guarantee of a better life.C. His career brought him both gains and losses.D. He suffered many hardships throughout his life.31. What most likely led to Thorpe's failure to win the javelin A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A carefree attitude toward the eventC. Lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the sport高二英語試卷共 11頁 第5頁{#{QQABbYIh5wCwkBRACZ77Q0FmCEgQkIATLQoOxUAKOAwKARFIBCA=}#}32. Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe A. Loyal and enthusiastic B. Tough and determinedC. Disciplined and ambitious D. Confident and committedCSocial media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today's world. A study conductedby the US think tank (智囊團) Pew Research Center showed that 92 percent of teenagers goonline daily. The wide spread of social media has changed nearly all parts of teenagers' lives.Changing relationshipsHigh school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reducesface-to-face communication. "It makes in-person relationships harder because people giveattention to their phones instead of their boyfriends or girlfriends," Cooper said.There's also a greater possibility of things getting lost in translation over social media. "Ifhalf of your relationship is over social media, you don't really know how the other person isreacting," Sienna Schulte, a junior student from Illinois, said.Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier to start relationships withanyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois met her long-distance friend through socialmedia. He currently lives in Scotland, but they're still able to frequently communicate withone another. "I can feel close to someone that I'm talking to via (通過) FaceTime," Kaplan said.Wanting to be "liked"The rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see themselves. The 19-year-oldEssena O'Neill announced on the social networking service Instagram that she was quittingsocial media because it made her obsessed with appearing perfect online.Negative comments also can do great damage to a teenager's self-esteem (自尊 ). Inparticular, anonymous (匿名的) social media apps such as Yik Yak may provide opportunitiesfor cyber bullying.The app allows users within 5 miles (8km) to create and add comments toeverything. Teenagers who get negative comments on these sites can't help but feel hurt.Opening new doorsHowever, Armin Korsos, a student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments hereceives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site Youtube."Social media can help people show themselves and their talents to the world in a way thatwas never possible before," Korsos said.高二英語試卷共 11頁 第6頁{#{QQABbYIh5wCwkBRACZ77Q0FmCEgQkIATLQoOxUAKOAwKARFIBCA=}#}But Korsos recognizes that social media has become a distraction. "Social media, thoughit helps people connect with their friends and stay updated, is not all necessary."33. What is the article mainly about A. The major problems with social media.B. The effects of social media on teenagers.C. How teenagers benefit from social media.D. Why social media attracts teenagers so much.34. How does social media change relationships, according to the article A. It pushes people to meet their friends more often offline.B. It encourages people to pay more attention to those around them.C. It enables users to understand accurately what others are talking about online.D. It allows people to keep in touch with their friends who live far away more easily.35. Which statement about the use of social media would Armin Korsos probably agree with A. Social media can easily become an addiction, despite its benefits.B. The use of social media taught him to turn negative comments into motivations.C. Social media is mostly a distraction to teenagers, so it is unnecessary for it to exist.D. If used well, social media can create opportunities for teenagers to develop themselves.DAfter years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make thedifference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity anddiscontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have neverknown an average man who had both. The two belong together.Together, these deep human urges (驅(qū)策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileowas not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the LeaningTower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in historywere curious and asked in discontent, “Why Why Why ”Fortunately curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them andneed only retake them. “The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his高二英語試卷共 11頁 第7頁{#{QQABbYIh5wCwkBRACZ77Q0FmCEgQkIATLQoOxUAKOAwKARFIBCA=}#}child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challengingcustom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us tooccupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met andliked them, we think how terrible it would have been, if we had missed the chance. We willprobably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.How should you start Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friendwho couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it.Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability Mostpeople don’t. There are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time That’s good, because it’salways the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote partsof Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old Remember that Thomas Costain was 57when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures whenshe was 78.However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’llnever be more alive than you are at this moment.36.In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.A.present an argument B.make a comparisonC.raise a question D.propose a definition37.According to the author, a person with “his child’s heart” tends to ________.A.try to avoid making mistakes B.be curious about the unknownC.follow the custom all the time D.lead a simple and satisfying life38.What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7 A.Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.B.Experience and special abilities are the keys to success.C.The genius can get things done easily and creatively.D.Satisfying yourself can help you become an expert.高二英語試卷共 11頁 第8頁{#{QQABbYIh5wCwkBRACZ77Q0FmCEgQkIATLQoOxUAKOAwKARFIBCA=}#}39.What could be the best title of the passage A.Well Begun Is Half DoneB.Don’t lose your child’s heartC.Trial and Error Leads to SuccessD.Young Minds Never Feel Contented第二節(jié)(共 5 小題;每小題 2 分,共 10 分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。If you are a motivated person, it is easy to put your personal goals ahead of those of thepeople around you. It is natural and not necessarily a bad thing. However, it is crucial to learnto be a team player. Acting as a part of a team builds character, teaches empathy(共鳴), andeventually achieves goals. 40 Here's why:Group Effort Is More Effective than Individual Effort. You can run a small businesspretty independently, but if you ever plan on being employed or running a business thatemploys others, you'll have to learn how to work with other people. 41Improving Others Equals Improving Yourself. If you're on a team, your personal successhelps make you a good team player. This is because most people are at least a little bitcompetitive, whether they admit it or not. When you do well, you set a standard that otherswill want to meet. By pushing yourself, you help push the people on your team. 42 Whenyou see someone you're working with do something better than you, more often than not,you'll push yourself to meet that standard.Your Attitude Matters. You should be the kind of person who wants to be a team player.People respect the ability to work well with others more than anything. Your individualactions have an impact, but if you're reluctant to do something to help your team, it'll beevident and your contribution will be less appreciated. 4344 As much as your work is important and necessary to the success of your team, thesuccess of your team is important and necessary to your success.A.

But there were no “bring a plate”invitations, no car pooling (拼車) for her daughters Liza, 12 and Erin, 15.“The families really didn’t know each other,” says Jan. “We are far from relatives.Neighbours are our family.”So Jan, an artist, decided to repeat a project she had done for Liza’s fifth-grade class.They invited each neighbour to paint his or her face on a big canvas (帆布畫布). The finishedpiece would become the new family photo.First, Jan painted a grid (網(wǎng)格) on the canvas and put it up in the garage with a table ofpaints nearby. Then whenever she was home, the “art room” door was up, with an openinvitation for neighbours to paint. The first to stop in were kids riding by. “They thought itwas cool,” says Jan, but the adults weren’t so keen. “They were afraid they would mess it up.”But as words slowly spread, they came, some using their driver’s license photos as models.Then something started to happen. They returned to see who had painted, or if they couldrecognize who was who. In Jan’s garage, they began to chat about schools, jobs and families,almost daily. Wendy, who lived across the street and was seriously ill, came in her wheelchairto watch the fun. Neighbours began to offer their support.This year has been different in the neighbourhood. Neighbours watch over each other’sproperty when they are not around. Families take turns hosting happy hours.“We’re watchingover each other now just like in the painting,”says Jan.45.
