【题目】请用适当的词完成下面的短文, 并把所缺单词坡写在指定位置上。每个空格只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。

You have probably dreamed about how you would change the world, only to find that it seems impossible. However, you may have the power to make 1 world better with baby steps. That's the idea behind the BA Challenge.

The BA Challenge is a public service activity started 2 Alibaba and Sina Weibo. It asks people 3 do something good and then record the changes before and after. Since its first appearance on Sina Weibo on Sept. 2, millions of people, including some famous stars, have taken 4 in it. For example, Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming sent mooncakes to old people 5 live alone. The young actor Xu Weizhou drew some trees in the desert, trying to show that working to 6 the environment can give us hope.

Though these little things may be easily ignored (忽视)in our daily 7, they strike a chord with many people. “The challenge makes me 8 in the miracle(奇迹)good actions again.” wrote a commenter(评论家)on Sina Weibo. “Though they are unimportant to one single person, they actually have a great impact on making the world 9 if we all do that.”

As the old Chinese saying goes, “Do not fail to do good even if it's small, do not engage in evil 10 if it's small.” Why don't we all set smaller goals? Then we may change the world slowly but surely, as a river changes a mountain.

【题目】 Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans — a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didnt work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上)into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neural disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.

At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do.” Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.

Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation(处境) is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

【题目】 Are you nearsighted(近视)? Do you wear glasses? Many of you may say "yes". In fact, according to a report from the World Health Organization, China has the biggest population of nearsighted young people. More than 70of middle school students in China are nearsighted.

In August, a plan to solve this problem was introduced. It aims to cut down the rate(率)of nearsightedness for middle school students to less than 60% by 2030. Schools across the country are taking action to meet this goal.

Luoyang Experimental School in Henan started with its desks. It has made desks with a board above the desktop. The board stops students from lowering their heads too close to their desktops. More than 400 students have used them so far. More students will use them soon. Similarly, the High School Affiliated to Remain University Chaoyang Branch School is now providing desks and chairs according to students' heights. Studies have shown that proper desk height can stop nearsightedness.

Spending more time outside can also reduce nearsightedness. Chengdu No. 7 High School makes sure that its students play outside for at least 80 minutes every day. "We have a PE class and a 20-minute break in the morning and afternoon to do exercises.”said Sun Zihan,l4.

Staring(凝视)at screens can also hurt our eyes. Beijing 101 Middle School has a solution to this problem. In its classrooms, there are special boxes for storing students' cell phones. "We have to hand in our cell phones every morning and get them back after school," said Huang Jiameng,15.

1In China,___________ of middle school students are nearsighted.

A.more than 70 percentB.less than 70 percent

C.more than 60 percentD.less than 60 percent

2___________ can not cause students' nearsightedness according to the passage.

A.Using uncomfortable desks and chairsB.Doing more exercises outside every day

C.Staring at cell phones for too long a dayD.Spending lots of time doing homework

3The underlined word "reduce" here probably means ________________.

A.cut upB.cut downC.turn upD.turn down

4What can we infer from the passage?

A.Parents have tried different ways to save students' sights.

B.Less attention has been paid to nearsightedness.

C.Cell phones will disappear in schools

D.The rate of students' nearsightedness will fall in the near future.

【题目】 Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket — anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15thbirthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of adventure(冒险)in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold—waterexploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long—distance expedition (探险) towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.
