The Special Olympic World Summer Games are held every four years. The athletes, representing the millions of people who take part in Special O1ympics activities in cities and towns all over the world, take part in a wide variety of sports, including running, basketball, swimming and bowling. All of the athletes who compete in the Special Olympics are mentally slow. Some have physical disabilities too. The idea for the competition began more than 30 years ago. Eunice Kennedy Shriver held sporting events on her farm in the state of Maryland for 100 mentally retarded children and adults. She had young men and women work with them to find out what they could do. Mrs. Shriver found out that the lives of people with slow intelligence development improved when they took part in such activities. Later scientific research has shown that people who take part in the Special Olympics are happier. It also shows they feel better about themselves and are better able to deal with other people. The first Special Olympics was held in 1968. Since then this competition has spread all over the world. It costs the individual athlete nothing to take part in the games. The Special Olympics is supported by the public and by private businesses. One of the goals of the Special Olympics is to let other people see that the special athletes have many abilities. Mrs. Shriver says the games also show the mentally retarded that they can do things. All the Special Olympics athletes want to win their competitions. But, Mrs. Shriver says, that is not what is important. All of the athletes are winners...just by taking part. The Special Olympics has a saying: "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." 21. The athletes take part in the Special Olympic World Summer Games, representing _______.

VisitHannibal. com 4 Hannibal, Missouri, founded in 1819, is known worldwide as the boyhood home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), 1835-1910. The Clemens family moved to Hannibal in 1839 from nearby Florida, Missouri when Sam was four years old. He spent his formative years here, leaving such a lasting impression that his childhood memories provided the basis for much of his writing. In later life during an interview in India he was quoted as saying “ All that goes to make the me in me is a small Missouri village on the other side of the globe”. Besides Mark Twain, notable Hannibal residents that may interest tourists include:  Marga ret To bin Bro wn, know n as “Unsin kab le Mo lly Brow n” after he survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, was born in Hannibal in 1867.  William P.

In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close. When his heart problems led to operation, Jim went through it successfully, and a full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jim was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the 5 operating table on the day before his 48th birthday. Dr. Bruce Smoller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jim’s case was. When Jim was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jim returned his father had died. Jim’s father was 48. “I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,” Dr. Smoller says. “He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jim had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial (判决) he had expected for forty years. “Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48. Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude plays in physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jim’s, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness. 28. Jim was sent back to operation because ________. A. his heart didn’t work well B. he expected a full recovery C. his life was drawing to a close D. the first one wasn’t well performed 29. What made Dr. Smoller feel strange about Jim’s case? A. Jim died at a young age. B. Jim died on the operating table. C. Both Jim and his father died of the same disease. D. Jim’s death is closely connected with his father’s. 30. From Smoller’s words, we can infer that ________. A. Jim’s father cared little about his study B. Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father C. Jim thought he would be punished some day D. Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48 31. Which of the following could have strong effect on one’s physical health according to the text? a. One’s genes. b. One’s life in childhood. c. One’s physical education. d. The date of one’s birthday. e. The opinions one has about something. A. a, b, d B. a, b, e C. a, c, e D. b, c, d D Sorry to say, our brains naturally start slowing down at the Cruelty young age of 30. It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to work faster. “Your brain is a learning machine, “ says University of California scientist Dr. Michael Merzenich. Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is the practice designed just for the purpose: a few exercises for the mind. Merzenich has developed a computer-based training method to speed up the process(过程) in which the brain deals with information (positscience. com). Since much of the data we receive comes through speech, the Brain Fitness Program works with language and hearing to better speed and accuracy (准确性). 6 Over the course of training, the program starts asking you to distinguish (辨别) sounds (between “dog” and “bog”, for example) at an increasingly faster speed. It’s a bit like tennis instructor, says Merzenich, hitting balls at you ~faster and faster to keep you challenged(受到挑 战). You may start out slow, but before long you’re pretty quick. The biggest finding in brain research in the last ten years is that the brain at any age is highly plastic. If you ask your brain to learn, it will learn. And it may even speed up while in the process. To keep your brain young and plastic you can do one of a million new activities that challenge and excite you: playing table tennis or bridge, doing crossword puzzles, learning a language.... “When it comes to preventing ageing, you really do ‘use it or lose it’,” says Barbara Sahakian, professor at Cambridge University. 32. Dr. Merzenich’s training method mainly depends on ________. A. speech training B. computer languages C. the activities one joins in D. the information being dealt with 33. By saying “the brain at any age is highly plastic “, the writer probably means the brain can be______. A. used B. mastered C. developed D. researched 34. What can we learn from the text? A. Practice makes a quick mind. B. Brain research started ten yeas ago. C. Dr. Merzenich is a scientist in computer. D. People believed nothing could stop the brain slowing down. 35. Which of the following agrees with the writer’s idea? A. The training methods work better for the old. B. People should use the brain to stop it from ageing. C. The training of the brain should start at an early age. D. It’s necessary to take part in as many activities as possible. 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。 Giant Panda Is No Longer Endangered A leading international group has taken the giant panda off its endangered list thanks to decades of conservation efforts, but China’s government is unwilling to accept the change, saying it did not view the status of the country’s beloved symbol as any less serious. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) said in a report that the panda is now classified as a “vulnerable” instead of “endangered” species, reflecting its growing numbers in the wild in southern China. __36__That is the result of work by Chinese agencies to carry out hunting bans and expand forest reserves. In a statement, China’s State Forestry Administration said that it doubted the classification change because pandas’ natural habitats have been mainly separated by human causes. The animals live in small, isolated groups of as few as 10 pandas that struggle to reproduce and face the risk of disappearing altogether. If we relax our conservation work, the populations and habitats of giant pandas would still suffer a great loss. __37__ Therefore, we’re not being alarmist (危言 7 耸听的) by continuing to emphasize the panda species’ endangered status. __38__John Howard, a senior official at World Society for the Protection of Animals, expressed his satisfaction over the effective measures taken by the Chinese government. The Chinese government and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) first established the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province in 1980. Wild panda numbers have since slowly recovered as China punishes the skin trade. __39__ Over the last few decades, international groups and the Chinese government have worked to save wild pandas and breed them in face of their extinction. It is not surprising that the WWF, whose logo has been a panda since 1961, celebrated the panda’s re-classification. __40__ A. As a result, our achievements would be quickly lost. B. The wild panda population jumped to 1,864 in 2014 from 1,596 in 2004. C. Still, other animal protection organizations praised the recovery of the pandas. D. Panda has long been a symbol of China and the global conservation movement. E. And China gradually expanded its protected forest areas to cover 1.4 million hectares now. F. Some pandas have been sent to zoos around the world as a gesture of Chinese goodwill. G. It says that long-term efforts do pay off when political will and engagement come together. 第三部分 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从 36—55 各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D) 中选出最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It’s fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA.

I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot.
