With these words, Russian tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, 32, has announced her retirement. “How do you leave behind the only life you've ever known?" she asked herself. Several reasons played a role in Sharapova leaving the tennis court for good. Over the last couple of years, she's dealt with an injury in her right shoulder and inflammation (炎症) in her forearms that may have prevented her from returning to top form. In more recent news, the death of her longtime friend, US basketball legend Kobe Bryant, also played a factor in her decision to retire, “As I think you've seen throughout my career, my perseverance has been my greatest tool, my greatest strength," Sharapova said in an interview.“But I've started feeling like it was becoming a weakness, because the stubbornness that was keeping me going was keeping me going for wrong reasons." Sharapova rose to fame at age 17 when she won Wimbledon in 2004. She won a total of four Grand Slam singles titles; the 2006 US Open, the 2008 Australian Open, and the 2012 and 2014 French Open. She also earned the Fed Cup title in Russia in 2008 and an Olympic silver medal in singles in 2012, among many other accomplishments. For 16 straight years from 2004, Sharapova was the world's highest-earning female athlete, according to Forbes. Off the court, she made millions of dollars from companies such as Evian and Nike, as well as starting her own candy company. "Tennis showed me the world - - and it showed me what I was made of," Sharapova wrote on Facebook on Feb 26, alongside a photo of herself as a young girl with a tennis racquet, “It's how I tested myself and how I measured my growth. And so in whatever I might choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I’ll still be pushing. I'll still be climbing. I'll still be growing.” 5. What contributed to Sharapova' s retirement? A. Her stubbornness. B. Her friend's suggestions. C. Her injuries. D. Her growing age. 6. What does the underlined word “stubbornness?" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Tool. B; Perseverance. C. Strength. D. Reason. 7. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us? A. Sharapova is the highest-earning female. B. Sharapova donated a lot to Evian and Nike. C. Sharapova's companies run successfully. D. Sharapova is a woman of many achievements. 8. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Playing tennis taught Sharapova how to advance in life. B. Sharapova will continue pushing herself as a tennis player: C. Climbing mountains is Sharapova's new interest. D. A picture posted online showed Sharapova's growth. C In Central America, sea turtle eggs are a popular cuisine dish. The eggs are hugely and secretly harvested onto tables, leaving the sea turtles listed as 1hreatened.Yet we simply do not have the ability to continuously guard large beaches, Scientist Kim William was thinking hard when she had an “aha” moment: How about placing a fake egg containing a GPS tracker, That's how the special eggs come in. To build them, Williams and colleagues used a 3D printer. Then, they fixed in the smallest GPS tracking devices. As mother turtles laid their eggs under cover of night, the researchers slipped a single spy egg into each nest. Once they are ; covered in sand with the real ones, “"it's very difficult to tell the difference," says Williams. Of the 101 spy eggs, 95 were taken away while 6 were quickly discovered and left on the beach. The team received tracking data with the farthest egg travelling 137 kilometers inland and stopping at a local supermarket. The spy egg sent its final signal the next day from a personal house, suggesting that the research team had tracked the eggs all the way, The researchers stress that the tracker is not a way to catch local thieves, many of whom are living in poverty, but rather a tool to better understand how the deal goes. Still, stopping stealing is not as simple as handing the tracking data over to the police, Across; Central America, trade in sea turtle eggs can be legally ambiguous. In Costa Rica, for example; it is illegal to .steal and sell sea turtle eggs but buying them is not a crime, It is not black and white. Meanwhile, local support is in need above all.“It, but not tracking with eggs, is the real meat and potatoes of conservation," says Williams. 9. What is the major threat to the existence of sea turtles? A. Unguarded sea beaches. B. Unsafe GPS trackers. C. The overhunt of turtle eggs D. The popular dishes of sea turtles. 10. How does Williams explain her study, in Paragraph2? A. By using an expert's words. B. By clarifying the process. C. By making a comparison. D. By listing scientific data. 11. The researchers tracked so many spy eggs to_______ A. test the GPS trackers B. look into the whole deal of turtle eggs C. catch the eggs thieves D. learn about the current situation of sea turtles 12. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Central America Need Wildlife Protection B. Sea Turtles Draw International Concern C. GPS Trackers Improve Tracking accuracy D. Spy Eggs Help Save Endangered Sea Turtles D A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Wharton, a student stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry: his girlfriend had left him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot t0 turn in papers by the deadline.“1 just got my first A-minus." he said, his voice shaking. Year after year, I watch in sadness as students go all for straight A's. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after falling short. All hold the belief that top marks are a ticket to best graduate schools and high-paying job offers. I was one of then. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, revealing that I had the right stuff to succeed.. But I was wrong The evidence is clear: academic excellence is not a strong predictor of career excellence. Across industries, research shows that the connection between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and unimportant within a handful of years, For example, a Google, once employees are tW0 or three years out of college, their grades have no bearing on their performance. (Of course, it must be said that if you got D's, you probably didn't end up at Google.) In a classic 1962 study, a team of psychologists tracked down America's most creative architects and compared them with their technically skilled but less original matches. One of the factors that distinguished the creative architects was a record of grades.“In college our creative architects earned about a B average," Donald MacKinnon wrote.“In work and courses which caught their interest they could turn in an A performance, but in courses that failed to strike their imagination, they were quite willing to do no work at all." Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight-A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem 一 it is more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a 2.65 GPA, J. K. Rowling graduated from the University of Exeter with roughly a C average, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. got only one A in his four years at Morehouse. 13. Why did the author list the events that crossed his mind in the first paragraph? A. To make sure he didn't misunderstand the student. B. To make the real trouble of the student more striking. C. To show sympathy for the student. D. To describe an unusual meeting with a student. 14. What did the author believe? A. Academic achievements don't always mean success in career. B. Top marks meant well-paid job offers. C. Nobody was to blame for falling short in school. D. Marks didn't reflect willpower and brainpower 15. What's the author 's conclusion about straight A's? A. Straight A's don't necessarily lead to professional success. B. Straight A's are a ticket to a number of opportunities. C. Straight A's are of little value in future careers. D. Straight A's can't help people find right solutions. 16. What should people focus more on to succeed? A. How to be a creative leader. B. How to solve a challenging problem. C. What is the right problem to solve. D. What really interests them. E Last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared a war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years," he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned." In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites. Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technology that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped ( 炒 作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous, An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and s0 far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions for the student that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a web-linked, e-leaning environment, and while it's true that the high-tech industry has sponsored considerable amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal (纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects. In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students' backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the astonishing costs to equip every student with an e reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice. As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I can't help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper. 17. What does the underlined part “a tried-and-true technology" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A: Foundation. B. Paper C. E-books. D. Platform. 18. What is the drawback of textbooks according to the passage? A. Its price. B. Its efficiency. C. Its content. D. Its weight. 19. What worries Maryanne Wolf is that__________ A. E-readers and multimedia websites are learning methods that are proved effective. B. the results of digital reading effects are understandable C. digital reading can't provide potential benefits for users D. students may not focus on leaning by digital reading 20. What is the author's attitude towards digital-learning? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Positive. D. Disapproving. 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。 Studies show that people who are happy 一 truly happy 一 have deep connections with those around them. 21 They actively try hard to improve these relationships and build quality relationships with others. Those connections and relationships that we build and that we attempt to develop, create experiences in our lives. Some experiences will be poor, but it is possible for us to create meaningful experiences 一 experiences that allow us to just be. Studies show that when we create meaningful experiences, we allow ourselves time to relax, to build connections, and to become our best selves._ 22 If we want to create meaningful experiences, we need to learn how to create these moments in our lives. Instead of taking many classes and workshops to teach us how to build connections with others, we should experience beSHOPs, which means we learn by being, by observing, and by becoming. 23 It helps define us and motivates us to do good, to step outside of our comfort zone, and to be better. A few of these values that we need to create meaningful experiences include: •Compassion (同情): Compassion has been thoroughly studied and proven to be a natural human response 24_ When you are compassionate, you don't have to think twice about helping others. •Gratitude: Showing sincere appreciation to others helps establish strong feelings of gratitude, and build strong connections. You should express appreciation for all the things in your life and make gratefulness just a part of who you are, •Willingness to learn:_ 25- Many individuals will find themselves stuck in their own world and never take a step outside of their comfort zones. When we have that desire to learn, to explore, and our curiosity is continually peaked, then we are more likely to have these meaningful experiences. Remember, true happiness, and meaningful experiences are not things you can learn from a series of worksheets and lectures. It is about being A. There is s0 much in the world around us, B.“To be" requires key values that shape us, C. It means service, kindness and love for others. D. Within the communities, you can work on developing these values. E. Working with others will help you experience many aspects of life. F. Creating these experiences is a vital step in the process to achieve full happiness. G. They lay stress on the relationships with their family, friends, colleagues and even strangers. 第二部分英语知识运用“(共三节，满分 50 分) 第一节:完型填空(共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 A、B、C 和 D 中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 Everybody always says that parenthood is a learning curve, and it really is, in more ways than one、My recent discovery is that you can never imagine how big and 26 the inner world of a three-year-old is, even as a mom.
