As a hockey (冰球) parent, while watching my son play from Mite to Bantam, House League to Travel, I’ve learned that losing may be best for kids.
In his third season in 2019, my son’s team never lost more than three straight games. It was a typically good youth hockey season. There was happiness, boasting, celebration, pizza. He improved as a player, but did not much change as a person.
However, what happened the next year added its story to the legends of sporting incompetence. Not merely weak but prettily bad, this team lost 40 of their first 50 games, most of the defeats coming in the course of two losing streaks (连败). For a time, I worried that these failures would kill my child’s love of the game.
But that’s not what happened. As bad as it got, the losing was clarifying. It weeded out the kids who were in it less for the game than the glory, leaving behind those with a real passion for the sport. What started as a list of 17 of the team was cut down to 12. It was especially educational for the kids. It taught them a great truth of the world: For everyone good, there is someone better.
What’s more, the kids were learning the game in a way that only losing can teach. Each player got to play everywhere, to learn and appreciate the role of every position on the ice. They kept an eye on their opponents too, studying the secret of their good performance. In an effort to break the streak, they went back to basics, accepted the wisdom of the hockey ancients: If playing like a team, they can defeat a collection of all-stars; If doing small and unappreciated tasks well, they can get the goal.
This new team had character and could never be counted out, no matter the score. They had learned the most important lesson: You can lose without being beaten. They squeaked into the state tournament, then made it all the way to the final, where the winner was decided in overtime (加时赛). When they narrowly lost that game and went into the handshake line, it was not as runners-up but as a team that had been made into winners in the only way that will stick- by losing.
24. What does the author think about the son’s team in the third season in 2019?
A. The team had a bad performance.
B. The team didn’t live up to the author’s expectations.
C. The team played typically well and won all the games.
D. The team didn’t help with players’ mental growth.
25. What does the underlined ward “clarify” refer to?
A. The losing made the kids better understand hockey.
B. The losing helped the kids learn a great truth of the world.
C. The losing separated true player from those playing for glory.
D. The losing boosted the kids teamwork.
26. What can be implied from the new team’s experience?
A. They valued teamwork and details in a game.
B. They kept their winning strategies a secret
C. They beat a team of all-star players.
D. They won the championship in the tournament
27. What is the writing purpose of the passage?
A. To offer some suggestions on getting over losing.
B. To explore the benefits of losing.
C. To describe a team’s road to success.
D. To make a comparison between winning and losing.
C
    Facial recognition software has found an unlikely new application: scanning the faces of thousands of British children in school canteens.
    Nine schools in North Ayrshire will today start taking lunch payments by scanning the faces of pupils, claiming that the new system speeds up queues and is more secure than the card payments and fingerprint scanners they used previously. “It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till,” said David Swanston, the managing director of CRB Cunninghams, the company that installed the systems. “In a secondary school you have around a 25-minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast productivity at the point of sale.” He said the average transaction time was cut to five seconds per pupil.
    However, privacy campaigners say there is little need to spread out facial recognition technology, which has been criticized for often operating without gaining approvals from the owners. Swanston argued that CRB Cunningham’s system, which uses cameras to check against coded face-print modes stored on servers at the schools, was different from live facial recognition systems that scan through crowds to identify faces. Live facial recognition has previously caused debate after being used by schools for security or to monitor attendance.
    North Ayrshire committee said that 97 percent of children or their parents had given agreement for the new system. “Pupils often forget their PINs and unfortunately some have also been the victim of PIN cheating, so they are supportive of the planned developments and appreciate the benefits to them,” the council said.
    But some parents said they were unsure whether their children had been given enough information to make their decision, and suggested that peer pressure had also played a role.
28. What can we infer from Swanston’s word?
A.He speaks highly of the system.
B.The software is intended to promote the sales.
C.The technology has previously caused debate.
D.The system will be helpful when the students forget their PINs.
29. What is not the advantage of the facial recognition software?
A.It speeds up the queues.
B.It is safer than the previous payments.
C.It operates without being approved of.
D.It benefits the pupils who often forget their PINs.
30. What’s the author’s attitude to the application of facial recognition technology?
A.Supportive B.Disapproved C.Objective D.Critical.
31. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Facial recognition has been the best way adopted so far.
B.Parents disagree with the application of facial recognition system.
C.The facial recognition system can benefit the pupils who are forgetful.
D.Schools speed up canteen queues with facial recognition technology.
D
Human language is made possible by an impressive gift for vocal learning. Most animals cannot learn to imitate sounds at all. Though some species can learn how to use natural sounds in new ways, they don't show a similar ability to learn new calls. Among all nonhuman vocal learners across the branches of life, the most impressive are birds.
"I wouldn't say they have language in the way linguistic experts define it," says the neuroscientist Erich Jarvis. "But I would say they have a primitive form of what we might call spoken language."
Birdsong appears to have a lot in common with human speech, such as conveying information intentionally and using simple forms of some of the elements of human language. One key element of human language is semantics, the connection of words with meanings. Over the past four decades, numerous studies have shown that many bird species use different alarm calls for different attackers. Recent studies suggest that the order of some birds' calls may impact their meaning. This could represent a primary form of the rules governing the order and combination of words and elements in human language known as syntax, as illustrated by the classic "dog bites man" vs "man bites dog" example.
And the parallels run deeper, including similar brain structures that are not shared by species without vocal learning. Jarvis and his team have tried to compare the brain structures in songbirds and humans. "I think we humans tend to overestimate how different we are," he says. What has happened is that humans and songbirds have evolved a new forebrain circuit for learned sounds that has taken control of the brain stem circuit for natural sounds. "There is an assumption that species more closely related to us (e. g. monkeys) are going to be most like us. And that is true for many features," he says. "But, as you see, this is not true for every feature. "
With all these similarities in mind, it's reasonable to ask if birds themselves have language. It may come down to how you define it. But anyway, when the story of the evolution of language is finally complete, be prepared to thank the birds.
32. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To show different capacities for imitating sounds.
B. To illustrate the major features of vocal learning.
C. To imply the uniqueness of birds as vocal learners.
D. To explain the origin of species differences.
33. What can we learn about birdsong from the third paragraph?
A. It is superior to human language.
B. It lacks meaningful order of calls.
C. It has evolved from human speech.
D. It shows certain grammatical features.
34. What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A. Evolved brain circuit paves the way for vocal learning.
B. Humans possess biological uniqueness in vocal learning.
C. Closely related species are less likely to share parallels.
D. Circuit for natural sounds disables new call learning.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bird Brains Suggest How Vocal Learning Evolved
B. Birds Are Stretching the Boundaries of Language
C. Human Speech and Birdsong Share Biological Roots
D. Human Speech Could Have Evolved from Birdsong

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Move towards nature when feeling down. Miracles do happen if you try. According to studies, walking among trees makes us relaxed. ____36____ There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults. 
____37____ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 206 children between the ages of 5 and 15. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. ____38____ They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So, exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. ____39____    
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. ____40____ What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A. It’s so adventurous going for a walk around trees.
B. Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s performance and nature.   
C. And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave properly. 
F. In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.

书面表达答案：
ANIMAL PROTECTION ACTIVITIES HELD
To raise our awareness of protecting animals, our school held diverse activities on October 4th, “World Animal Day”.
A photo exhibition attracted a number of students, showing us many animals are becoming endangered species for various reasons like illegal hunting and pollution. More inspiring was a speech contest where participants eagerly talked about how we individuals could make a difference.
The activities turned out a great success. As one student put it, “It’s really distressing to see the animals dying out at such an alarming rate. It’s time we should spare no effort to protect them.”
