• 2．One day Mrs.Smith was sitting in her doctor's waiting room when a young boy and his mother entered the office.The young boy caught Mrs.Smith's attention because he wore a patch over one eye.She felt surprised at how unaffected he seemed to be by the loss of an eye and watched as he followed his mother to a chair nearby.
     The doctor's office was very busy that day，so Mrs.Smith had an opportunity to ask the little boy what had happened to his eye while he played with his soldiers.He considered her question for a long moment，then replied， "I'm a pirate（海盜）!" Then he returned to his game.
     Mrs.Smith was there because she had lost her leg from the knee down in an auto accident.Her trip today was to determine if it had healed enough to be fitted with a prosthetic（假肢）.The loss had been a disaster to her.Intellectually，she knew that this loss should not interfere with her life；but emotionally，she just couldn't overcome this obstacle.Her doctor had suggested imagination，but she had been unable to imagine such an emotionally unacceptable，lasting image.
      The word "pirate" changed her life.Instantly，she was transported.She saw herself dressed as Long John Silver，standing aboard a pirate ship.She stood with her legs wide apart one artificial.Her hands were clenched（緊握的） at her hips，her head up and her shoulders back，as she smiled into a storm.Cold water blew across the board as great waves broke against the ship.Still she stood firmly proud，fearless.
     A few minutes later，the nurse called her.As she balanced on her walking sticks，the boy noticed her amputation（截肢）."Hey lady，" he called，"What?s wrong with your leg？"
     Mrs.Smith looked down at her shortened leg for a moment.Then she replied with a smile，"Nothing.I'm a pirate，too."
  
  （1）According to the first two paragraphs，which word can best describe the boy？

  
  A．enthusiastic
  B．curious
  C．a(chǎn)thletic
  D．optimistic
  （2）What do we know about Mr.Smith's leg？

  
  A．She lost her leg by accident.
  B．She couldn't accept the fact that she lost her leg.
  C．She suffered great pain due to the loss of her leg.
  D．She decided not to give up her life even without her leg.
  （3）We can infer from the underlined sentences that

  .
  A．the pirate's life attracted Mrs.Smith's a lot.
  B．Mrs.Smith became a pirate after she left the hospital.
  C．what the boy said had a great influence on Mrs.Smith's life attitude.

• 3．For centuries，tea has been used for far more than quenching thirst.Around the world people drink it to relax，reinvigorate and relieve，and it's something we need now more than ever.
     Even in the United States，a long coffee-dominated country，tea drinking is growing in popularity，with the country consuming 0.4 kilograms（14 ounces 盎司）of tea leaves per person a year compared with 0.36 kilograms （12.7 ounces） in 2007 according to the United Nations，as people switch away from soda，milk and fruit drinks.
     Scientists are beginning to look into just how tea might affect mood and cognition.Specifically，they're investigating whether its relaxing and refreshing effects are a direct biological outcome of the compounds in tea or whether they come from the context in which the drink is consumed-preparing your tea，choosing your favorite cup and sitting down for a brief break from the wjye.aild.Or both.
     Drinking green tea has been found to improve brain function in healthy people，said Stefan Borgward，chair and director of the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Lubeck，Germany.
     In a 2014 study，he gave one or two cups of green tea to 12 healthy volunteers and imaged their brains to analyze changes in connectivity inside certain brain regions.
     "We noticed an increased connectivity in regions of the brain associated with working memory，" he said via email.
     And a 2017 review of more than 100 studies he coauthored found that green tea can impact the brain in three ways：It can influence psychopathological state such as reducing anxiety；cognition by benefiting memory and attention；and brain function，specifically memory.
     That review concluded that "it would be desirable" for more Westerners to consume at least 100 milliliters （3.3 fluid ounces） of green tea each day "to protect neurocognitive（神經(jīng)認(rèn)知）function."
     However，Borgward，cautioned that the effects aren't large，and the evidence is mainly provided by small-scale studies.
  
  （1）How does the author introduce the tendency of drinking in the US？

  
  A．By showing examples.
  B．By explaining reasons.
  C．By making a comparison.
  D．By checking existing facts.
  （2）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？

  
  A．Scientists are looking into why tea makes people relaxed and refreshed.
  B．The context in which the drink is consumed is very important.
  C．People's relaxation is the direct biological outcome of the ingredients in tea.
  D．Preparing tea，choosing a cup and sitting down for a brief rest is amazing.
  （3）What can we conclude from Stefan's research？

  
  A．Tea is a cure for a neurocognitive disease.
  B．Green tea is particularly beneficial to our memory.
  C．Drinking tea every day can prevent us from getting ill.
  D．Westerners drink less than 100 milliliters of green tea.
  （4）What is the researcher's attitude towards the finding？

  
  A．Supportive
  B．Doubtful
  C．Unclear
  D．Objective

• 4．Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck．I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do．some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is．
     However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical．And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practicing．To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time that most people won't put in．
     This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love．If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it．
     When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost．It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway．
     Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time．If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards．Consistent，hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into．
  
  （1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about

  ．
  A．the reasons for success
  B．the meaning of success
  C．the standards of success
  D．the importance of success
  （2）In Paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to

  ．
  A．being good at something
  B．setting a practical goal
  C．putting in more time
  D．succeeding in life
  （3）What can we infer from Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Successful people like to show their great skills．
  B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent．
  C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life．
  D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success．
  （4）What is the main theme of the passage？

  
  A．Having a goal is vital to success．
  B．Being good is different from being great．
  C．One cannot succeed without time and practice．
  D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success．
