My first introduction to gymnastics was through my older sister Arielle, who used to be a gymnast. She taught me how to do my first cartwheel(侧手翻). By the end of the week, I was teaching myself one-armed cartwheels and my sister said to my mom, “You need to put this kid in gymnastics.”‎ At about age 9, I realized that I wanted to pursue the Olympic path. I was used to the public eye, but the Olympic stage was different. The Games teach you to act in a certain way and to be disciplined(守纪律的). They teach you to be a mature young lady, and you grow up fast.‎ When I started this journey, I never knew what it actually took to get to the Olympics. I thought it was: Training. I had to give up a normal kind of life for gymnastics, but I didn’t mind. I moved from Virginia Beach to Iowa to get a different coach. I sacrificed my privacy. Gymnastics was what I was going to eat, breathe and sleep. It takes a lot to be an Olympic athlete. You may have a talent, but the people who work harder than you will surpass(超过) you.‎ Throughout my career, a lot of people have doubted me. When someone tells you that you can’t do it,‎ ‎ especially when there are many people, you start to believe it. It took me years to figure out how great I was at gymnastics. Fear held me back when I hurt my leg in 2011, but I told myself that I had a talent and that I was going to use it. I went to the world championships and got a team gold.‎ I won three gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games and helped Team USA win gold at the 2011 and 2015 world championships. My mom used to say, “Inspire a generation.” It’s one thing when you say it, but I never thought that I would be a pioneer and that people would draw inspiration from my story.‎ ‎24. Why did the author’s sister suggest putting her in gymnastics?‎ A. She was talented in gymnastics. B. She needed to decide her future career.‎ C. She was too noisy to stay at home. D. She had fallen in love with gymnastics.‎ ‎25. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the author ________.‎ A. left school at an early age B. devoted great efforts to training C. thought talent was necessary D. dreamed of being famous one day ‎26. What did the author learn from others’ doubt?‎ A. Failures were unavoidable. B. She had to improve her skills.‎ C. She should be confident in herself. D. What others thought was not important.‎ ‎27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?‎ A. Her childhood experience. B. Her road to success.‎ C. Her passion for the Olympics. D. Her performance in gymnastics.C The younger generation, according to a new survey, can hardly remember the last time of climbing trees or flying kites, as they are kept indoors and short of outdoor experiences.‎ The survey of 1,000 people found that the current generation of 15- to 34-year-olds have fewer memories of 12 key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.‎ The research found that three quarters of the older generation remembered playing games or climbing trees, compared with two thirds of younger adults.‎ The 55+ generation also had more memories of collecting stones, visiting a farm or pond dipping. Altogether, two thirds of older people had more memories of playing outdoors compared to just over half of the younger generation.‎ The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting outdoors enough.‎ The study has found that 82 percent of people think thatschools should provide more outdoor ‎ education and most believe nature is still important to children today.‎ Dr. Mike Clarke, head of the RSPB, said children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get "nature deficit disorder". He said public money should be used to take children on day trips to nature and to build wildlife gardens, especially in poor areas.‎ ‎"To many people, it would seem clear and unquestionable that an important part of childhood is exploring the world around you. Unfortunately, this is far from the fact and the children are having less time and fewer chances to get close to nature," he said.‎ ‎"The RSPB has more than a 40-year history in getting children outdoors and is still continuing to play our role. We now need the government and the schools to realize that they should play the most important role in making it possible for all the children to experience, enjoy and benefit from the outdoor environment."‎ 28. Compared with the current generation, the older generation had ________.‎ A. more homework and exercises when they were children B. more memories of wonderful life in the countryside C. fewer memories of taking part in outdoor activities D. fewer chances of going on a visit to the big cities ‎29. The RSPB carried out the study in order to tell people to ________.‎ A. spend more time with their kids B. care more about the kids' growth C. let their kids get more outdoor activities D. order the schools to provide outdoor education ‎30. According to the passage, "nature deficit disorder" often happens to ________.‎ A. children who often stay indoors B. children who often go outdoors C. all the younger generation D. all the older generation ‎31. We can learn from Dr. Clarke's words in the last paragraph that ________.‎ A. all the children can’t get close to nature and aren’t healthy any longer B. outdoor activities are the most important for the current generation C. the RSPB is more important than the government and schools in getting kids outdoors D. the RSPB plays an important role in getting kids outdoors all the time D We chat with our colleagues all the time: when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. ‎ Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your co-workers and builds trust within your team. But revealing(揭露) too much about yourself to colleagues or managers can cause difficulties and even endanger your work. ‎ It’s vital(致命的) to break the right balance between getting along with colleagues and keeping your privacy safe. “As a matter of fact, it takes skills to communicate in the office. You can neither chat too much, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others,” said Yang Yudan, vice HR director at P&G. According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. ‎ But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is potentially risky. Cui Xia, 21, who has been working for an IT company for only 2 months, learned this hard way when she found out that everyone knew she had broken up with her boyfriend. “I spoke about it with two colleagues in the tearoom and told my friend via phone, and then the news spread.” And her boss finally heard about it and asked her not to let it affect her work performance. ‎ Sometimes revealing private matters in a thoughtless manner can result in disastrous consequences(灾难性后果). Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn’t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her,” said Liang. “Then our HR told me it’s forbidden to talk about payments in the office.” HR expert Yang Yudan also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It’s unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are. ‎ To sum up, Yang Yudan advises office workers to be more aware of their images when talking to colleagues. “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume(无形的简历) and may slow down your career progression.” ‎ 32. Which of the following topics is not suitable when chatting in the office?‎ A. Makeup B. Football matches ‎ C. Annual earnings D. TV shows such as Running Man ‎ ‎33. We may know from the passage that ________.‎ A. women often talk more about their personal affairs than men. ‎ B. to avoid getting into trouble, you’d better keep silent at work. ‎ C. it’s wise to talk about how much you earn each month with your colleagues. ‎ D. revealing too much about your privacy may have a negative effect on your career. ‎ ‎34. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To draw people’s attention to their behaviors in public.‎ B. To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project.‎ C. To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated.‎ D. To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues.‎ ‎35. The best title for this passage is ________. ‎ A. At work, No chatting! B. Desire for privacy.‎ C. At work, Keep it to yourself! D. Learn to respect others’ privacy.‎ 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。‎ ‎ The beauty of confidence is that it is possible to learn it, no matter who you are! Follow these simple steps to be confident.‎ Consider your strengths and success. 36 When did you help others? What are you good at? When have you taken pride in yourselves? What are you working hard for? If you have difficulty thinking of your strengths and success, ask your family member or a close friend.‎ Have goals. Sitting around and doing nothing will make you feel worse. Start with a small goal. 37 You’ll get more confidence achieving a small goal. Once you’ve achieved many smaller goals, you can set bigger goals.‎ ‎ 38 Failure is the mother of success. When you fail, view it as a learning experience. Often we have to fail on our own to gain experience. By failing, you have at least taken a chance. ‎ Pick a role model. Pick a role model that is always confident and always learn from them. Study their action, their manners of speaking and how they communicate with others. 39 However, it’s a great place to start.‎ Smile. Confident people smile often, and without much reason. 40 It tells the people around you that you’re comfortable in yourself and enjoying your time.‎ A. Of course you don’t want to spend your entire life copying someone else.‎ B. If possible, write them down so that you can look back at them later.‎ C. Start projecting a more powerful you today.‎ D. Smiling is a friendly and open gesture.‎ E. Otherwise, you’ll get discouraged.‎ F. After reaching a goal, reward yourself.‎ G. Learn from failure.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（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。‎ A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because a disease made his leg lame.
