Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coachers, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skill that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates(激发)and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

61. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is _________.

A. to make sports less competitive B. to increase their sense of success

C. to reduce their mental stress     D. to make sports more challenging

62. According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that _________.

A. it can help them learn more about society

B. it enables them to find faults in themselves

C. it can provide them with valuable experiences

D. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

63. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes            .

A. believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

B. without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence

C. in order to make them remember life’s lessons

D. so as to put more pressure on them

64. According to the passage parents and coaches should _________.

A. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

B. help children to win every game

C. train children to cope with stress

D. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

65. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is __________.

第三部分  阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

August has always been difficult for me. It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.

You might think that I don’t want to spend my summer reading, but that’s not the problem: I love reading. On the first day of my summer holidays this year, I went to the library and got “A Gathering of Old Men” by African-American writer Ernest Gaines. I enjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper. So why do I hate summer reading for school? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slow-going and just uninviting. Teachers and librarians don’t understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books that a friend of my mother’s calls “spinach books”: good for you, but not much fun to take in. Every summer, I read them, hate them and get bitter about the experience.

This bitterness started three years ago when I was about to begin high school. As preparation, my English teacher told me to read “The Age of Innocence” by American author Edith Wharton. I’m sure there are many people who enjoyed “The Age of Innocence”—some might even say it’s their favorite book.

But I don’t think any of these people read it as a 14-year-old boy on his summer vacation.

“The Age of Innocence” is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago. At 14, my only experience with romance was my love for baseball. I couldn’t imagine being in love, much less being in love in 1900. “The Age of Innocence” was totally different to my life.

Most of my required summer reading has been like that—books written in a style that plays up the adjectives and plays down the verbs. I guess teachers don’t think exciting plots make for “good literature”. To me, though, a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.

If I were making up a summer reading list, it would include “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George V. Higgins, “The Right Stuff” by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. These are all books that have literary value but, just as important, can also entertain kids on vacation. If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign, my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.

46. The author thinks he will have a difficult August because _______.

A. he doesn’t like reading in summer vacation

B. he hates the English teacher assigning homework

C. he is to read the books boring and not right for kids

D. he hates August

47. What can make students interested in August reading ought to be ______.

A. romantic            B. out of date       C. pure    D. entertaining and educational

48. The author listed such books as “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” because he thinks ______.

A. they can change his opinion                          B. he can learn a lot more from them

C. they are of literary value, and enjoyable  D. he has to do as teachers tell him to

49. In the opinion of the author of this passage, a good writer should be one who _______.

A. uses a way of describing that makes the reader wish to know what to happen next

B. describes events and characters in different ways

C. is learned

D. is full of imagination

50. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?

A. I Don’t Like Reading on the Vacation     

B. Why Can’t Teachers Set Us Fun Books? 

C. Teachers, Don’t Set Us Any Reading Assignments

D. Teachers, Set Us Free

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。选项中的两项为多途选项。

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.

     Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.    71    . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.

    72    . Here are some ideas:

     Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting,      73    .

     Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (体形) don’t just happen.     74    . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.

     Respect your body! Practicing good habits ---- regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on ---- can help you build a positive body image.

         75    . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.

   A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.

   B. Be yourself.

   C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.

 D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.

   E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.

 F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.

   G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?

----I’d rather have some wine, if you don’t mind.　　

----_______.

　 A. No, you’d better not 　                          B. Not at all, anything you want

C. Thank you all the same 　                     D. Yes, but not good

．______ surprised the family most was ________the girl played basketball very well．

              A．That; that         B．That; what       C．What; that    D．What; what

_______ achievement, last week’s ministerial meeting of the WTO here earned a little, though not failed.
