My birth was a little mre dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the wrld. I was brn missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference culd have been a disaster if it hadn’t been fr what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mther’s arms and instructed, “Yu will take her hme. Yu will lve her and treat her as nrmal.”
That is exactly what happened. I played sprts, acted in theater, excelled in schl and had playdates with friends. While I did get sme stares and “plite” questins abut my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun f fr it.
Hwever, that fact that I was different hit me bard my first day f high schl, I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-cnscius and the need t fit in is intensified, I remember ne f the ther kids n the schl bus stared just a little t lng at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge t hide my hand, s I slipped it int my pcket. I tld myself that I’d just hide it that ne day, while I was trying t make friends. But ne day f hiding turned int a week, a mnth, and years — 25 f them t be exact.
When I was 38 years ld, tired f hiding and lnely, I met smene special and invited him in. The cmbinatin f me finally feeling ready t unhide and his willingness t g thrugh the unhiding prcess with me was exactly what I needed. Fr the first time in my life, I allwed smene t really hld my limb, lk at it, tuch it, lve it — lve me. I saw my limb difference as smething unique abut me, smething that shuld be shwn, nt hidden.
It was a transfrmatinal experience, and I learned t lve me t. It changed hw I lived my entire life and made me happier. I als discvered and jined the Lucky Fin Prject, an rganizatin devted t peple with all types f disabilities.
Hiding things, especially frm lved nes, is tiring and lnely, and it prevents us frm getting help and supprt. It’s time t change that.

Wmen were less likely than men t supprt the Vietnam war, the Gulf war, r the invasins f Afghanistan and Irag. They cmmit far fewer murders. They are less likely t favr strikes. Fr sme schlars, these are grunds(理由) fr thinking that a wrld run by wmen wuld be mre peaceful.
But Eurpean histry suggests therwise, accrding t plitical scientists Oeindrila Dube and S. P. Harish. They studied hw ften Eurpean rulers went t war between 1480 and 1913, and fund that states ruled by queens were 27% mre likely t get invlved in wars than thse ruled by kings.
This was nt all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as sft targets, tended t attack them. Frederick the Great f Prussia nce declared: “N wman shuld ever be allwed t gvern anything.” Shrtly after becming king, be attacked the newly crwned(加冕) Archduchess f Austria, Maria Theresa, and seized Silesia prvince. Despite years f war, she never recvered it.
But perceived weakness is nt the whle stry. Queens, the researchers fund, were mre likely t gain new territry. Catherine the Great expanded her empire by sme 200,000 square miles. And married queens were mre aggressive than single queens r kings, whether single r married.
The authrs suggest several reasns fr this. First, married queens may have been able t frm mre military alliances (联盟), making them cnfident enugh t pick fights. Their husbands had ften served in the army befre they married, and were well placed (很有条件) t strengthen military ties between their hmelands and their wives’ states.
Secnd, unlike mst kings, queens ften gave their husbands a lt f pwer, putting them in charge f freign plicy r the ecnmy. During the 1740s, Maria Theresa’s husband, Francis I, refrmed the Austrian ecnmy and raised mney fr the armed frces while his wife ruled much f central Eurpe. Prince Albert was Queen Victria’s mst trusted adviser, shaping her freign plicy until his death in1861. This divisin f labr, the authrs suggest, freed up time fr queens t pursue mre aggressive plicies.
The mdern era, t, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Glda Meir and the Ym Kippur war, r Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. The number f cuntries led by wmen has mre than dubled since 2000, but there is plenty f rm fr imprvement: the current level f 15 represents less than 10 % f the ttal. A wrld in which mre wmen tk pwer might be mre equal. Whether it wuld be mre peaceful is a different questin.
28. The underlined “perceived weakness” in paragraph 4 refers t ________.
A. wmen were less likely t supprt wars
B. wmen culd nt recver lst territry
C. wmen cmmit far fewer crimes
D. wmen were sft targets
29. Why were married queens mre likely t gain new territry?
A. Because their military alliances picked fights fr them.
B. Because they were ambitius and aggressive by nature.
C. Because their husbands were supprtive in state gverning.
D. Because they centralized all pwer int their wn hands.
30. What is the purpse f mentining the tw female leaders in the last paragraph?
A. T imply there is rm fr imprvement in gender equality.
B. T indicate mre females becme leaders in mdern times.
C. T illustrate female leaders cannt prevent wars in mdern times.
D. T suggest female leaders have their share f wars in mdem times.
31. Accrding t the passage, we can safely cnclude that _________.
A. married wmen are nt fit t gvern their states n their wn
B. female leaders shuld be respnsible fr all wars thrughut histry
C. the wrld wuldn’t be mre peaceful even if mre wmen tk pwer
D. the divisin f labr allws queens t survive ecnmic crisis

Thugh the spread f gd reprductin f wrks f art can be culturally valuable, museums cntinue t prmte the special status f riginal wrk and highlight the authenticity f its exhibits. Unfrtunately, this seems t place severe limitatins n the kind f experience ffered t visitrs.
One limitatin is the way the museum presents its exhibits. Art museums are called “treasure huses”. We are reminded f this befre we view a cllectin by the presence f security guards wh keep us away frm the exhibits. In additin, a majr cllectin like that f Lndn’s Natinal Gallery is hused in numerus rms, where a single piece f wrk is likely t be wrth mre than all the average visitr pssesses. In a sciety that judges the persnal status f the individual s much by their material wrth, it is difficult nt t be impressed by ne’s wn relative “wrthlessness” in such an envirnment.
Furthermre, cnsideratin f the “value” f the riginal wrk impresses the viewer that since these wrks were riginally prduced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms f mney by sme persn mre pwerful than themselves. Evidently, nthing the viewer thinks abut the wrk is ging t alter that value, and s tday’s viewer is discuraged frm trying t extend that immediate and self-reliant kind f interpretatin which wuld riginally have met the wrk.
The visitr may then be struck by the strangeness f seeing such a variety f paintings, drawings and sculptures brught tgether in an envirnment fr which they were nt riginally created. This “displacement effect” is further heightened by the huge vlume f exhibits. In the case f a majr cllectin, there are prbably mre wrks n display than we culd realistically view in weeks r even mnths.
This is particularly distressing because time seems t be a vital factr in the appreciatin f all art frms. A fundamental difference between painting and ther art frms is that there is n prescribed time ver which a painting is viewed. Operas, nvels and pems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has n clear place at which t start viewing, r at which t finish. Thus art wrks themselves encurage us t view them superficially withut appreciating the richness f detail and labr that is invlved.
Cnsequently, the dminant critical apprach becmes that f the art histrian, a specialized academic apprach devted t “discvering the meaning” f art within the cultural cntext f its time. This is in harmny with the museum’s functin, since the apprach is dedicated t seeking ut and cnserving “authentic”, “riginal” readings f the exhibits.
32. The writer mentins Lndn’s Natinal Gallery t illustrate ________.
A. the undesirable cst t a natin f maintaining a huge cllectin f art
B. the negative effect a museum can have n visitrs’ pinin f themselves
C. the cnflict that may arise in sciety between financial and artistic values
D. the need t put individual well-being abve large-scale artistic schemes
33. The writer says that tday viewers may be unwilling t criticize a wrk because they ________.
A. lack the knwledge needed
B. feel their persnal reactin is f n significance
C. have n real cncept f the wrk’s value
D. fear it may have financial implicatins
34. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Original wrk: reductin t value f art wrks
B. Original wrk: art histrians’ bread and butter
C. Original wrk: substitute fr reprductin
D. Original wrk: killer f artistic appreciatin

Benefits f Sprts
Ding sprts is a physical, mental and scial adventure. It’s a great way fr children t take a break frm academics and release extra energy. It als helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sprts have prven t imprve verall well-being.
The physical benefits f ding sprts are prbably the mst bvius. Regardless f yur fitness level when yu start playing sprts, yu’ll ntice an increase in yur verall fitness nce yu’re invlved. 35 Basketball players fcus n strength training; ftball players wrk n speed while track athletes train thrugh lnger runs. The training prcess helps prmte physical fitness and perfrmances in cmpetitins.
36 Playing sprts als cntributes t mental health, helping t increase cnfidence and self-wrth. A pat n the back, a high five frm a teammate, r a handshake after a match really bsts a child’s cnfidence. Wrds f praise and encuragement frm the cach, parents and ther players raise self-wrth. 37 S after a game, it’s a better idea t ask “Did yu enjy the game?” rather than “Did yu win?”
Children wh participate in sprts might als benefit frm the scial aspect, feeling part f a grup, building up respnsibility and leadership. 38 Teamwrk invlves bth being dependable as a teammate and learning t rely n yur teammates t achieve a psitive utcme. Teamwrk breeds respnsibility and challenges yu t be respnsible fr yur actins. Being part f a team gives yu an pprtunity t be a leader.
Discipline is anther scial advantage. Mst rganized sprts require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, yu need t balance studies and athletics. 39
There is n shrtage f reasns t find a sprt t get invlved in. Are yu ready t g? Pick ne and get mving!
A. It’s nt just yur bdy that benefits frm sprts.
B. Therefre, playing sprts is ging t make yu mre fit.
C. But remember, a child’s self-wrth shuld nt be distinguished by victry r lss.
D. If yu play grup sprts, yu’ll be part f a team that takes directin frm a cach.
E. Nearly every sprt requires physical activities and the skills needed t be cmpetitive.
F. Amng these, learning hw t functin as part f a team is the mst imprtant advantage.
G. Only with strict discipline can yu be successful bth in the classrm and in the sprts field.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In a grwing number f schl districts acrss America, students must wear a unifrm. Accrding t the US Department f Educatin, wearing a unifrm can maintain discipline and help schls recgnize thse wh cme t the schl illegally. Schls claim that when students cme in unifrm, it imprves discipline and leads t academic gains. Hwever, students prtested the decisin.
A mre imprtant questin is whether there is any evidence t shw that mandatry (强制的) unifrm plicies can lead t imprved student utcmes. A 2003 study that used a large natinal data set cncluded that elementary and middle schls with schl unifrms had fewer student behavir prblems. But it fund that high schls bad a greater frequency f misbehavir.
Interestingly, even when evidence is available, educatrs culd take the ppsite view. Fr example, a study f educatrs in 38 Nrth Carlina high schls fund that 61% f the schl masters believed that there was a reductin in cases f misbehavir n campus when schl unifrms were intrduced. In reality, the data shwed n change in incidents f suspensins (停学) and ther prblems.
Similarly, research n the effectiveness f schl unifrms n increasing student attendance and achievement is cnfusing. Fr example, ne study cncluded that schl unifrms resulted in increased student achievement and increased attendance. Hwever, anther study fund little impact n academics at all levels and little evidence f imprvement in attendance fr girls and drp in attendance fr bys. S, what des lack f cnsistent research mean fr plicy?
In my view, it des nt mean that schls shuld nt carry ut such plicies. It des mean, hwever, that educatrs must be clear abut the gals that they hpe t achieve. Decreased discipline prblems, increased attendance and academic achievement may nt be achieved just by wearing unifrms. But there may be ther benefits, fr instance, it culd help a schl prmte its brand thrugh a unifrm lk. Schl unifrms may als serve as a symbl f cmmitment t academic achievement.
40. Why are students required t wear schl unifrms in America?
______________________________________________________________________________________41. What are the findings f the 2003 study?
______________________________________________________________________________________42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
⮚Sme studies shwed wearing schl unifrms helped imprve students’ perfrmance, but ther studies fund n cnsistent results, s schls shuld stp the schl unifrm plicy.

43. What d yu think f wearing schl unifrms? Explain yur reasns. (In abut 40 wrds)

第一节
本文通过苏珊的成长故事，展现教师对学生自信心的深远影响。因结巴而恐惧公开演讲的她，在老师的鼓励下突破自我，最终成为一名需频繁演讲的培训师。文章强调：教育者的善意与信任能成为学生终身的精神支柱，这种“无名英雄”式的引导往往改变人生轨迹。
1 B根据前文“I had a mild stutter (结巴).”可知苏珊有轻微结巴，所以她会很艰难地说出以“D”或“TH”开头的单词。“struggling”表示“艰难地进行”，符合语境。“cntinuing”是“继续”；“pretending”是“假装”；“hping”是“希望”，均不符合。所以答案是B。
2 D根据语境，苏珊觉得在同学面前结巴着背诗这件事很难承受。“bear”有“承受”的意思。“share”是“分享”；“express”是“表达”；“prve”是“证明”，都不合适。答案是D。
3 C苏珊回家后向妈妈“透露”她有多害怕。“revealed”表示“透露”。“taught”是“教”；“prmised”是“承诺”；没有“hped”这种搭配表达，所以选C。
4 A妈妈同意写便条请求让她免于在全班同学面前做这个任务。“excused frm”表示“免于”。“prhibited frm”是“禁止”；“crrected”没有这种搭配；“discuraged frm”是“劝阻”，这里是请求免于，所以是A。
5 D “一旦”苏珊完成背诵，迪梅奥先生说了她从未听过的话。“Once”表示“一旦”，引导时间状语从句。“While”是“当……时候”，强调同时进行；“Althugh”是“尽管”；“Unless”是“除非”，均不符合，答案是D。
6 B她第一次认为公开演讲不一定会是恐惧的来源。“wrry”表示“担忧，恐惧”。“jealusy”是“嫉妒”；“bredm”是“无聊”；“lneliness”是“孤独”，所以选B。
7 C毕业后她“获得”了一份企业培训师的工作。“landed a jb”是固定搭配，表示“获得一份工作”。“wanted”是“想要”；“ffered”是“提供”，这里是她获得工作，不是提供；“created”是“创造”，答案是C。
8 A新职位让她意识到迪梅奥先生对她的信心产生了多大的“影响”。“impact”表示“影响”。“idea”是“想法”；“chice”是“选择”；“stress”是“压力”，所以选A。
9 B苏珊最近找到了一种与她以前的老师“联系”的方式。“cntact”表示“联系”。“judge”是“判断”；“study”是“学习”；“interview”是“采访，面试”，答案是B。
10 C如果她因为害怕尴尬而一直让自己的声音“沉默”，她不知道自己会怎样。“”表示“使……沉默”。“sweet”是“甜的”；“lud”是“大声的”；“deep”是“深的”，所以选C。

11. what 此处需填入引导宾语从句的连接代词。从句中yur prfile picture says缺少宾语，因此用what引导从句，相当于the things that。句意：研究揭示了你的头像所传达的关于你的信息。
12. t shape动词allw的固定搭配为allw sb t d sth。此处需用不定式作宾语补足语，说明社交媒体允许用户塑造理想化形象。注意：社交媒体平台名如允许用户做某事时，常隐含主动选择的意味，因此不定式结构更准确。
13. represents主语scial media behavir为单数概念（集体名词）时间状语usually表明是一般现在时主谓一致原则要求填represents。句意：证据表明社交媒体行为通常代表真实自我的延伸。
14 when。Ry Jnes在游泳时，假牙突然掉出。语法：此处需连接词表示“当……时，突然发生另一动作”。when 强调主句动作（swimming）进行中，从句动作（fell ut）突然发生，符合“正在做某事时突然……”的语感。
15 lst。Jnes向经理讲述“丢失牙齿”的经历。语法：需形容词修饰名词“teeth”，表示“丢失的”。lst 为过去分词作形容词，直接修饰teeth，意为“遗失的假牙”。
16 explaining。经理感到惊讶，随后解释自己曾找到假牙。语法：需非谓语动词作伴随状语，与主句动作（lked surprised）同时发生。explaining 为现在分词，表伴随状态，体现“边惊讶边解释”的逻辑关系。
17 which 本句为介词+which引导的定语从句来修饰先行词a frm f learning，表示“印记是一种学习方式，‌在这种方式中‌幼年动物会关注第一个接触的对象”‌。
18 have dressed 根据时间状语ver the last few mnths判断用现在完成时，主语caretakers为复数，故填have dressed，强调过去动作对现在的影响。
19 with 固定搭配interactins with表示与……的互动，符合上下文限制熊猫与人类的接触的语义。
20 easier形容词比较级，呼应后文in the lng run，表示希望通过伪装使熊猫未来适应野外的过程更容易。

21. C 根据原文“Schedule and Time Cmmitment”部分，志愿者需在季节内至少服务8天，每天6小时（10:00 a.m.至4:00 p.m.）。因此，总时长为 8天 × 6小时/天 = 48小时，对应选项C。
22. C 原文强调“良好的口头沟通能力”（very gd ral cmmunicatin skills）和“体能要求”（stand, walk, hike, tlerate weather, carry 15 punds）。
23. B文末提到点击蓝色Apply Nw按钮填写申请，这种交互式操作提示（在线申请链接）通常出现在网页上。手册、杂志或报纸一般不会包含实时在线申请功能，因此最可能来源是网站。

作者天生左臂缺失，在成长过程中，因身体的差异遭遇了一些不好的经历，如他人异样的眼光和不公平的对待等。13岁时在公交车上因他人注视而感到愤怒。38岁时，作者决定不再隐藏自己的身体差异，选择坦然面对，并因此加入了相关公益组织，心态也发生了转变，变得更加快乐。
24. C作者提到A nurse placed me in my mther’s arms and instructed, “Yu will take her hme. Yu will lve her and treat her as nrmal.” That is exactly what happened. I played sprts, acted in theater, excelled in schl and had playdates with friends. While I did get sme stares and “plite” questins abut my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun f fr it. 这表明作者从小就被细心照顾，并被当作正常人对待，正常参加活动交朋友，没有被人取笑过。因此，选项C“她是在关爱中被抚养长大并被正常对待的”是正确的。
25 D根据文章第三段I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-cnscius and the need t fit in is intensified. I remember ne f the ther kids n the schl bus stared just a little t lng at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge t hide my hand, s I slipped it int my pcket. (我13岁，这个年纪的孩子已经很有自我意识了，融入社会的需求也越来越强烈。我记得校车上的一个孩子盯着我的左臂看了太久。我突然有一种想把手藏起来的冲动，于是我把它塞进了口袋。)可知，当作者13岁的时候，由于有了自我意识，作者对于周围的目光十分敏感。故选D。
26. C根据文中第五段“It was a transfrmatinal experience, and I learned t lve me t. It changed hw I lived my entire life and made me happier”可知，当她不再隐藏自己的差异时，她开始敞开心扉接受自己，变得更加快乐，故选C。
27. B作者从最初因身体差异而试图隐藏，到后来坦然面对并接受自己，变得更加快乐，文章传达的是自我接纳可以带来自爱，故选B。
C
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由女性执政的国家历史上并不比男性执政的国家和平，已婚女王带领的国家其实经历了更多的战争。
28. D根据第三段第一句话This was nt all the queens’ fault: men, seeing them as sft targets, tended t attack them. (这不全是女王的错：男人们把他们视为软目标，倾向于攻击他们)以及下文可知，男人们将女人看作软柿子，倾向于攻击她们，然后举例证明男人攻击女性执政的国家，而第四段却表示这不是完整的故事，说明划线词应该指代上文男性对女性的轻视，因此画线的句子应该理解为“认为女人是软柿子”。故选D。
29. C 根据倒数第三段The authrs suggest several reasns fr this. First, married queens may have been able t frm mre military alliances(联盟),making them cnfident enugh t pick fights. Their husbands had ften served in the army befre they married, and were well placed t strengthen military ties between their hmelands and their wives’ states.(作者提出了几个原因。首先，已婚皇后可能已经能够形成更多的军事联盟，使他们有足够的信心挑起战争。他们的丈夫在结婚前经常在军队服役，他们处于有利地位，可以加强祖国和妻子所在州之间的军事联系)可知，他们的丈夫会帮助其管理国家。故选C。
30. D根据最后一段第一句话The mdern era, t, has witnessed female leaders in wars: Glda Meir and the Ym Kippur war, r Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands. (现代也见证了战争中的女性领导人：戈尔达·梅尔和赎罪日战争，或者玛格丽特·撒切尔和福克兰群岛)可知，这里举例是想表明当代的女性领导者也在战争中有参与。故选D。
31. C 根据文章最后一段最后两句话A wrld in which mre wmen tk pwer might be mre equal. Whether it wuld be mre peaceful is a different questin.(一个有更多女性掌权的世界可能会更加平等。是否会更和平是另一个问题)可知，越来越多女性执政可能世界会更平等，但是是否更和平就是另一回事了，且前面一直介绍历史上和现代女性执政者都参与战争，所以我们可以总结出就算更多女性执政，世界也不会变得更加和平。故选C。
D
32. B根据第二段中In additin, a majr cllectin like that f Lndn’s Natinal Gallery is hused in numerus rms, where a single piece f wrk is likely t be wrth mre than all the average visitr pssesses. In a sciety that judges the persnal status f the individual s much by their material wrth, it is difficult nt t be impressed by ne’s wn relative “wrthlessness” in such an envirnment.（此外，像伦敦国家美术馆那样的大型藏品被安置在许多房间里，在那里，一件作品的价值可能比普通游客拥有的所有物品都要高。在一个以物质价值来判断个人地位的社会中，在这样的环境中，一个人很难不意识到自己相对的“毫无价值”。）可知，伦敦国家美术馆的大型藏品会让游客意识到自己相对来说“毫无价值”。因此，作者提到伦敦国家美术馆是为了说明博物馆对游客自我评价的负面影响。故选B项。
33. B 根据第三段中Evidently, nthing the viewer thinks abut the wrk is ging t alter that value, and s tday’s viewer is discuraged frm trying t extend that immediate and self-reliant kind f interpretatin which wuld riginally have met the wrk.（显然，观众对作品的任何想法都不会改变它的价值，所以今天的观众不愿意尝试扩展那种直接的、自主的解读，而这种解读本来是可以与作品相遇的。）可知，今天的观众可能不愿意批评一件作品的原因是他们觉得自己的个人反应没有意义。故选B项。
34. D 通读全文，并结合第一段中Unfrtunately, this seems t place severe limitatins n the kind f experience ffered t visitrs.（不幸的是，这似乎严重限制了提供给游客的体验。）可知，文章介绍了博物馆过分强调原创作品的特殊价值，反而严重限制了游客的体验，令游客对自己产生负面的评价，不愿尝试自主的评价，被作品的错位置换所震动。因此，D项“原创作品：艺术鉴赏的杀手”符合文章大意，突出了核心内容，适合作为标题。

本文是一篇说明文。运动是一种身体、心理和社交的冒险。这是孩子们休息一下，释放额外能量的好方法。这也有助于他们过上更充实、更幸福的生活。本文主要介绍了运动对身心的好处。
35. E根据空后的例证Basketball players fcus n strength training; ftball players wrk n speed while track athletes train thrugh lnger runs. (篮球运动员注重力量训练；足球运动员提高速度，而田径运动员则进行长跑训练)可知，下文介绍各种运动对身体技能的要求。E项Nearly every sprt requires physical activities and the cmpetitive skills. (几乎每一项运动都需要体力活动和具有竞争力的技能)符合语境，开启下文，E项中的every sprt对应空后列举的几项运动。故选E。
36. A上一段讲的是运动对身体的好处。根据后句Playing sprts als cntributes t mental health, helping t increase cnfidence and self-wrth. (运动也有助于心理健康，有助于增强信心和自我价值)可知，本段讲的是运动对心理的好处。A项It’s nt just yur bdy that benefits frm sprts. (不仅仅是你的身体从运动中受益)承上启下，符合语境。故选A。
37. C根据上文Wrds f praise and encuragement frm the cach, parents and ther players raise self-wrth. (教练、父母和其他球员的赞美和鼓励提高了自我价值)可知，空格前说表扬和鼓励会提升自我价值感，空格后说的是比赛后不要过度关注输赢。由此推知，空处陈述自我价值，并不体现在输赢中。C项But remember, a child’s self-wrth shuld nt be distinguished by victry r lss. (但是记住，孩子的自我价值不应以胜利或失败来区分)与空前后意思连贯，句中的self-wrth是前一句中的原词复现，且victry r lss与后一句中的Did yu win?呼应。故选C。
38. F根据前句Children wh participate in sprts might als benefit frm the scial aspect, feeling part f a grup, building up respnsibility and leadership. (参加体育运动的孩子也可能从社交方面受益，感觉自己是群体的一部分，加强责任感和领导力)和后句Teamwrk invlves bth being dependable as a teammate and learning t rely n yur teammates t achieve a psitive utcme. (团队合作包括做一个可靠的队友和学会依靠你的队友来取得积极的结果)可知，设空处承上启下。F项Amng these, learning hw t functin as part f a team is the mst imprtant advantage. (其中，学习如何充当团队的一员是最重要的好处)符合语境，a part f team是关键词。故选F。
39. G根据前文Discipline is anther scial advantage. Mst rganized sprts require a strict training and practice schedule. As a student-athlete, yu need t balance studies and athletics. (自律是另一个社会优势。大多数有组织的运动都需要严格的训练和练习时间表。作为一名学生运动员，你需要在学习和运动之间取得平衡)可知，通过运动的规则，学会遵守纪律也是很重要的，有助于学生取得成功。 G项Only with strict discipline can yu be successful bth in the classrm and in the sprts field. (只有遵守严格的纪律，你才能在课堂上和运动场上都取得成功)符合语境，是对前三句内容的总结。故选G。
