When Dusang turned 13 and was n lnger allwed t play it with bys, her mther drve her three times a week t train with ther girls in Mulins an hur away.
In 2003, after graduating frm CNFE Clairefntaine, the French natinal female ftball cllege, Dusang was picked ut t play fr France. But because she earned nly a small match fee fr each game she played, she had t wrk as a marketing assistant fr the club. “I’d wrk in the ffice, and run t my training,” she recalls, nly t aware it wasn’t the same fr the men.
Dusang std fr France in 47 internatinal matches between 2003 and 2011, but tday, she fights fr equal pprtunities in the game. Her activism has taken several frms. She spent fur years writing fr a French news site, prmting (促进) wmen’s ftball and diversity in sprt, and vlunteering fr Equal Playing Field, an internatinal rganizatin that fcuses n sprts develpment fr wmen wrldwide.

Just being intelligent (聪明的) desn’t mean smene will be successful. And just because smene is less intelligent desn’t mean that persn will fail. That’s ne take-hme message frm the wrk f peple like Angela Duckwrth, wh wrks at the University f Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Like many ther scientists, Duckwrth wndered what makes ne persn mre successful than anther. When digging deeper, Duckwrth fund that the peple wh perfrmed best shared a quality independent f intelligence. They had what she nw calls grit (毅力). Duckwrth develped a set f questins t test it. She calls it her “grit scale (量表).”
In ne study f peple 25 and lder, she fund that as peple age, they becme mre likely t stick with a prject. She als fund that git increases with educatin. Peple wh finished cllege scred higher n the grit scale than peple wh quit befre graduatin. Peple wh went t graduate schl after cllege scred even higher.
She then did anther study with cllege students. Duckwrth wanted t see hw intelligence and grit influenced perfrmance in schl. S she cmpared scres n cllege-entrance exams, which measure IQ, t schl grades and scres n the grit scale. Students with higher grades tended t have mre grit. That’s nt surprising. Getting gd grades takes bth smarts and hard wrk.
But sme peple cunter that this grit means success. Amng thse peple is Marcus Crede, a prfessr at Iwa State University in Ames. He recently pled the results f 88studies n grit. Tgether, thse studies tested nearly 67, 000 peple. And grit did nt predict success, Crede fund.
Hwever, he thinks grit is very similar t smene’s ability t set gals, wrk tward them and think things thrugh befre acting.
“Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far mre strngly cnnected t schl grades than grit,” Crede says. “We can teach students hw t study well. We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m nt sure we can d that with grit.”
8．What can we knw frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Intelligence determines success. B. Nt all smart peple will succeed.
C. Duckwrth redesigned a grit scale. D. Grit decides hw intelligent ne might be.
9．What might influence a persn’s grit accrding t Angela Duckwrth’s findings?
A. Lifestyle. B. Family. C. Persnality D. Educatin.

A. Grit can hardly be taught. B. Grit can be imprved eastly
C. Grit is strngly related t test anxiety. D. Grit has nthing t d with schl grades.
As the extreme heat waves nw affecting parts f Eurpe, Asia and the US make clear, hmes in any area f the wuld badly need t be changed t help deal with a htter climate.
The quickest, simplest slutin is t equip (安装) air cnditining. But this wuld lead t a huge increase in electricity demand, researchers warn, driving further climate change. “If ur hmes are verheated and the first slutin that we run t is air cnditiners, that is ging t dry up ur energy systems,” said Miranda, a researcher frm Oxfrd University.
A greener slutin wuld be t develp “passive cling” technlgies, which dn’t require large energy inputs. Bertie Ozarisy frm Middle East Technical University fund a special hme built in 2015, Userhuus, had a “severe verheating risk” during the summer. Using cmputer mdels f the huse, he fund that adding a wind catcher was the mst effective fr reducing indr temperatures. Wind catchers get the cler wind frm high abve the grund and direct it int the building, pushing ut the warmer air inside the huse. Hwever, althugh wind catchers culd be easy t fit t new hmes, equipping them is likely t be expensive.
Further research shwed that pening windws at night and pulling dwn shades during the day can lwer indr air temperatures by 14C during a heatwave. “Mst heat in a hme cmes frm tw surces; first, peple and equipment they use, and secnd, slar heat gain thrugh windws.” Says Bertie. “Ht utside air is actually a very small surce.”
“The imprtant thing is t pen up the entire huse at night, t pen the windws as sn as utdr air is cler than indr air, and t leave them pen all night until the next mrning. Clse them nly when the utdr air temperature rises.” he added. Blcking sunlight frm entering the hme is therefre an effective way t keep temperatures under cntrl.
12．What is Miranda’s attitude twards equipping air cnditining?
A. Uncaring. B. Psitive. C. Objective. D. Unfavrable.
13．What might be a disadvantage f a wind catcher?
A. Its high cst. B. Its pr effect.
C. Its ugly design. D. Its equipping prblem.
14．Accrding t Bertie Ozarisy, mst heat in a hme cmes frm __________.
A. ht utside air B. peple’s activities
C. air-cnditining system D. prly-designed windws
15．What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Surces f Heat B. Reasns fr Heatwaves
C. Hw t Keep Hmes Cl D. Hw t Equip Air Cnditiners

5．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2003, after graduating frm CNFE Clairefntaine, the French natinal female ftball cllege, Dusang was picked ut t play fr France. But because she earned nly a small match fee fr each game she played, she had t wrk as a marketing assistant fr the club. (2003年，从法国国立女子足球学院CNFE Claifntaine毕业后，Dusang被选中为法国队效力。但是因为她每场比赛只能挣一点点比赛费，所以她不得不为俱乐部做市场营销助理。)”可知，Dusang在2003年毕业后兼职做市场营销助理。故选C。

7．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Nw, 20 years after starting her sprts, Dusang is fighting t get recgnitin fr Crsica’s first female-nly club. She is bth a player and c-president f Feminine Esprit Club (FEC) Bastia. Sandrine Dusang has als used her psitin at FEC Bastia t cmmunicate imprtant messages and values. Players’ shirts carry a message in lcal language prmting gender (性别) equality. It translates as “Everyne can play.”(如今，在开始从事体育运动20年后，Dusang正在努力争取科西嘉岛首家女子俱乐部的认可。她既是球员，也是女性精神俱乐部(FEC)巴斯蒂亚的联合主席。Sandrine Dusang还利用她在巴斯蒂亚联邦选举委员会的职位传达重要信息和价值观。运动员的衬衫上用当地语言传递着促进性别平等的信息。翻译过来就是“每个人都可以玩”)”可知，文章主要介绍了女足运动员Sandrine Dusang，在国际比赛中代表法国出场47次，如今她为女性足球的平等机会而奋斗。由此可推知，文章主要是为了介绍一位伟大的女性，故选D。
8．答案： B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Just being smart desn’t mean smene will be successful, And just because smene is less intelligent desn’t mean that persn will fail.(聪明并不意味着一定会成功，不聪明也不意味着一定会失败。)”和第二段中的“When digging deeper, Duckwrth fund that the peple wh perfrmed best shared a quality independent f intelligence. (深入研究后，Duckwrth发现，表现最好的人拥有一种与聪明无关的品质。)”可知，聪明并不完全意味着一个人就会成功，不那么聪明的人也并不一定会失败，表现最好的人拥有一种与智商无关的品质，由此可推知，不是所有聪明人都能成功。故选B。
9．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She als fund that grit increases with educatin. Peple wh finished cllege scred higher in the grit test than peple wh quit befre graduatin. Peple wh went t graduate schl after cllege scred even higher.(她还发现，毅力随着教育程度的提高而增加。在毅力测试中，大学毕业的人比毕业前辍学的人得分更高。大学毕业后去读研的人得分更高。)”可知，Angela Duckwrth认为教育程度可以影响一个人的毅力。故选D。
10．答案： B
解析：词义猜测题。根据上文的“S she cmpared scres n cllege-entrance exams, which test IQ, t schl grades and scres n the grit scale. Students with higher grades tended t have mre grit. (因此，她将测试智商的大学入学考试的分数与学校成绩和某人在毅力测试中的分数进行了比较。成绩越高的学生更有毅力)”可知，Duckwrth认为毅力和成功有很大关系。结合划线词所在句子中的but可知，该句陈述的观点与上文相反，即一些人反对毅力意味着成功这个观点。由此猜测划线词意为“反对”，与Disagree(不同意)同义。故选B。
11．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Study habits and skills, test anxiety and class attendance are far mre strngly cnnected t schl grades than grit,” Crede says. “We can teach students hw t study well. We can help them with their test anxiety,” he adds. “I’m nt sure we can d that with grit.”(“学习习惯和技能、考试焦虑和出勤率与学校成绩的关系要比毅力密切得多，”Crede说，“我们可以教学生如何学好。我们可以帮助他们缓解考试焦虑，”他补充道。“我不确定我们是否能在毅力上做到这一点。”)”可推知，Crede认为学习习惯和技能、考试焦虑和出勤率与学校成绩的关系要比毅力密切得多，他不确定能否教会学生有毅力，这说明教会学生有毅力是很难的，由此可推知，毅力几乎不能被教会。故选A。
12．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的““If ur hmes are verheated and the first slutin that we run t is air cnditiners, that is ging t dry up ur energy systems,” said Miranda, a researcher frm Oxfrd University.(牛津大学的研究人员Miranda说：“如果我们的房子过热，我们首先想到的解决办法就是空调，这将使我们的能源系统枯竭。”)”可知，Miranda认为安装空调来解决房子过热的方法会是我们的能源系统枯竭，由此可知，Miranda对安装空调持反对的态度。故选D项。
13．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Hwever, althugh wind catchers culd be easy t fit t new hmes, equipping them is likely t be expensive.(然而，尽管风收集器可以很容易地安装到新家庭中，但装备它们可能很昂贵。)”可知，风收集器很容易安装到新家庭中，但是安装他们可能很昂贵，由此可知，风收集器的缺点是太昂贵。故选A项。
14．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的““Mst heat in a hme cmes frm tw surces; first, peple and equipment they use, and secnd, slar heat gain thrugh windws.” Says Bertie. “Ht utside air is actually a very small surce.”(“家里的大部分热量来自两个来源;首先是人和他们使用的设备，其次是通过窗户获得的太阳热量。” Bertie说。“外部热空气实际上是一个很小的来源。”)”可知，家里的部分热量来自人和他们使用的设备以及窗户获取的太阳热量，由此可知，家中大部分的热量来自人们的活动。故选B项。
15．答案： C
解析：主旨大意题。根据首段“As the extreme heat waves nw affecting parts f Eurpe, Asia and the US make clear, hmes in any area f the wuld badly need t be changed t help deal with a htter climate.(极端热浪正在影响欧洲、亚洲和美国的部分地区，这清楚地表明，全球任何地区的房屋都迫切需要进行改造，以帮助应对更热的气候。)”可知，极端热浪影响着很多地区，提出需要改进房屋以帮助应对更热的气候，结合第二段中的“The quickest, simplest slutin is t equip (安装) air cnditining.(最快、最简单的解决办法是安装空调。)”、第三段中的“A greener slutin wuld be t develp “passive cling” technlgies, which dn’t require large energy inputs.(更环保的解决方案是开发“被动冷却”技术，这种技术不需要大量的能源投入。)”和第四段中的“Further research shwed that pening windws at night and pulling dwn shades during the day can lwer indr air temperatures by 14C during a heatwave.(进一步的研究表明，在热浪来袭时，晚上打开窗户，白天拉下窗帘可以使室内气温降低14摄氏度。)”以及尾段中的“Blcking sunlight frm entering the hme is therefre an effective way t keep temperatures under cntrl.(因此，阻挡阳光进入室内是控制温度的有效方法。)”可知，本文分别介绍了通过安装空调、发展更环保的“被动冷却”技术、晚上开窗的方式和阻挡阳光进入室内来控制温度的方法，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是控制室内温度的方法，所以题目“如何让家里保持凉爽”与本文的主题一致，可以作为最佳标题。故选C项。
16．答案：①-⑤EGAFD
