Life is competitive-some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are "winners" and "losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can
choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a "good" winner
No one likes a "show off"
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆Be modest.
◆Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an even better loser
Of course it's disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being "unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sporter. And no one likes bad sports either.
To be an even better loser you need to:
◆Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆Congratulate the other team.
◆Keep any negative（消极的） thoughts to yourself—at least until you are away from the game.
It's OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don't do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
61. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. We are either losers or winners. B. We should face winning or losing properly.
C. We can do nothing about winning or losing. D. We are always competing with others not ourselves.
62. If we succeed, it's NOT proper to ______.
A. go on improving our skills B. tell our team members to aim higher
C. thank our team members D. put down others to make ourselves look good
63. Who is probably a bad sporter?
A. Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B. Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C. Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D. Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
64. A better loser should ______ when losing.
A. let out his anger to his parents at once B. express his negative feelings in the game
C. try harder to improve himself in the next game D. behave badly to his team members or competitors
65. What is the passage written for?
A. Telling us what we can learn from losing.
B. Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C. Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.
D. Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.
C
People often use their phones to take pictures of their meals—especially fancy（华丽的） ones—to share online. But Clear Plate, a WeChat mini-program, encourages you to take pictures of your empty plates after a meal. The program's AI（智能） "sees" that your plates are empty and gives you points. You can use these points to buy yourself gifts or give away the points to buy meals for children in poor areas.
The program was developed by Liu Jichen, 23, a student at Tsinghua University. Liu came up with the idea in 2017. "Technology is a good way to cut down food waste," said Liu. He put together a 20-member team to work on the program. To teach the program's Al how to recognize（辨别） empty plates, the team spent half a year collecting100,000 photos from restaurants in 10 cities.
The team also started a campaign called Clear Your Plate in Chinese universities in 2018. Students compete against each other to see who can get those most points in Clear Plate. Now in its third year, the
one-month campaign has reached 1, 017 schools. In 2020, almost 16 million people took part in it, cutting down food waste by 862 tons and carbon emissions（排放） by 3, 337 tons.
Thanks to his work, Liu was chosen as one of the United Nations' 2020 Class of Young Leaders for the Sustainable Development Goals（可持续发展目标）. "We hope our efforts can encourage young people to cherish the food and save the food," Liu said.

In 2021, the net population growth（人口净增长） of China was only 480, 000, the lowest over the last 60 years. And all the signs show that China will see negative population growth in the near future. It has to be pointed out that China is still a developing country, and negative population growth in most cases has happened in the developed countries.
Now, what is urgent（紧急的） for our policymakers is to deal with the decreasing population growth, because our country still needs labor to keep growth. Our country's pro-birth policies are underdeveloped now, and they do not match the need to encourage women to have babies. Considering this, the National Health Commission has made every effort to improve public childcare services, introduce more holidays and make the holiday system more flexible（灵活的） and strictly carried out. But that's far from enough to deal with the root causes of the problem.
In the first place, exorbitant housing prices and underdeveloped public rental housing system have brought down the marriage rate in the country. Second, the houses in the communities near the prestigious schools aren't affordable for a common family. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult for children from low-income（收入） families to receive a good education. Also, the quality of labor and production efficiency are hard to improve with-education resources becoming more exclusive（独有的） to the rich.
Besides, the shortage of a mature business environment and an unfair distribution of wealth also bring forward our country's decreasing population growth.
Since we have found out these problems, what should we do next?
71. Which picture best explains the first two sentences in Paragraph 1?
A. B.
C. D.
72. In Paragraph 3, which word means "famous"?
A. Exorbitant. B. Prestigious. C. Underdeveloped D. Affordable
73. What will be most probably introduced next?
A. The measures（措施）China will take to solve the population growth problem.
B. The time when our country's population growth problem will be solved.
C. The problems that our country will face if the population growth is negative.
D. The advantages and disadvantages that the low population growth brings.
74. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? （①=Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2...）
A. B. C. D.
75. How does the writer feel when writing this article?
A. Excited. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Angry.
五、任务型阅读。（每小题1.5分，共10题，计15分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填写表格（每空限填一词）。
Exams are a fact of school life for most people. Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed, although they have prepared well.
A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can sharpen your mind and motivate（激发） you to do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so its important not to let it get out of control. Here are some ideas to help you.
The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision（复习）, and giving yourself enough time to do it.
If you can, find a copy of the syllabus for each subject. This tells you what you need to know and gives you the topics for revision.
Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to display in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject.
About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home.
During your exam period you want your brain to work at its very best, so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision sessions and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If panic（惊慌） starts to creep in, try to replace your negative thoughts with more positive（积极的） ones, such as "It's going to be OK?" If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one-don't spend time tying yourself in mental（思想上的） knots over each question.
You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Call psychological（心理的） hotline to share your worries and get help from others going through the same experience. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won't last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there.

范文1. A musician made me a difference
In our life, our family or friends, even some strangers, as well as what we've gone through in our study or daily life, may make us a difference.
The musician Tan Dun made me a difference.When I was young I was forced to practise playing the piano every day by parents. Day after day, I got tired of it.I thought playing music was just a waste of time and meaningless.
Last month, I happened to hear a piece of music -Water,created by Tan Dun.He was so creative to make 50 sounds from water by controlling the speed of water flow.I lost myself in the music.Later I learnt more about Tan Dun.He is a world-famous composer who can mix traditional Chinese music and modern Western music together.He has made more westerners learn more about Chinese music and Chinese culture.
Suddenly,I realized the meaning of music.Maybe I can be a musician like Tan Dun to spread the Chinese culture.
范文2. An experience made me a difference
In our life, our family or friends, even some strangers, as well as what we've gone through in our study or daily life, may make us a difference.
Last weekend, I decided to do some housework after I finished my homework. First,I tidied up my room carefully. Then I cleaned up the living room and kept everything in order. One hour later, I managed to cook some noodles for a light supper. To tell you the truth, I was very tired after doing all that. But I felt really proud and satisfied when my parents praised me with big smiles on their faces.
The experience made me a difference. It has helped me realize that it is my duty to share housework.By doing housework, I can not only develop my living skills but also get a sense of achievement.

The best way of learning a language is using it. To learn English well, it is important to talk in English as much as possible. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humour, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be sad if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”

Hello, everyone. This is our Saturday Radio Programme. Today is March 12th. Now for the news: First, some bad news. One of the school computers was lost last night. We don’t know who did it. But a taxi driver said he saw a tall man walking around the school gate last night at 11 o’clock. The man was wearing a black shirt with a black hat. Do you know who he could be? If you do, please call the police at 7932107.
Now for some good news. The new Sports Center will open at 9:30 tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, at three o’clock, there will be a swimming match. If you can swim, go there and try to win. The first prize is a set of Beats earphones. Good luck!
