21、   Misty Copeland spends most days practicing and perfecting the graceful movements of her art. She takes classes almost every day and takes care of her body so she doesn’t injure it when she goes to work at Americam Ballet Theatre, one of the most famous ballet companies in the world.

“I treat my body with the respect that any musician would their instrument. I accept all that it is and do my best to make it the best it can be,” says Misty.

Misty didn’t always feel so confident in herself. The challenges she has faced over almost 20 years of dancing have made her strong. She was a shy child and avoided the spotlight. But she loved music and movement. When she was 13, she joined the drill team. One day, her coach suggested that she attend a free ballet class at the Boys & Girls club. For two weeks, Misty sat on the gym platforms watching the class, afraid to join in. Finally, she gave it a try.

At first, Misty felt out of place in the class. She didn’t know anything about ballet, and she was older than most of the students. Even though Misty felt discouraged, she didn’t quit. She talked with others who had struggled with similar problems. With the support of these friends, things slowly improved.

Over the next five years, ballet was Misty’s life. She practiced, performed, competed, attended summer ballet programs, and got loads of awards.

Today, Misty says, “I’ve learned to embrace my appearance, skin color, and figure.” She wants to help other dancers, especially ballerinas of color, accept themselves, too. She wrote a picture book, Firebird, in which her character encourages a young African American ballerina. In a note at the end of the book. Misty tells readers to follow their dreams: “No matter what that dream is,” she writes, “you have the power to make it come true with hard work and dedication.”

【1】When Misty Copeland began to learn ballet, she _____________.

A.felt a sense of belonging immediately

B.joined the drill team and practiced actively

D.encouraged others with similar problems and improved together

【2】Which words can best describe Misty Copeland?

A.Determined and indifferent. B.Persistent and devoted.

C.Diligent and pessimistic. D.Talented and traditional.

【3】What does the story intend to tell us?

A.Many hands make light work. B.One good turn deserves another.

C.Diligence is the mother of success. D.A fall in a pit, a gain in your wit.

22、We all think best when we're well rested． A clear， alert brain allows us to focus， learn and remember information， and to be creative． On the other hand， when we're sleepy， we make more mistakes and are less productive in school and at work． In a report from Psychological Science， researchers at the University of Paris report sleeping between two learning sessions improve your learning．

In this study， 60 French adults were randomly divided into a "sleep" or "wake" group． They all were given 16 French-Swahili words in pairs in random order． After studying a pair for seven seconds ， the Swahili word appeared on a screen and the participants were asked to type the French translation． If they made a mistake， the words appeared again until every word-pair was correctly translated． Twelve hours later， they did it again． The wake group did their tests first in the morning and then in the evening so they had no time to sleep in between． The sleep group members did their first session in the evening and the second came the next morning， after a good night's sleep．

The sleep group members did much better at recalling the correct translations and were quicker to learn when they make a mistake． Both groups were eventually able to learn all the word-pairs but getting some sleep allowed the sleep group to learn in less time and with less effort， A follow-up showed that the sleep group still did better than the wake group a week later and even six months later，

So， if you have to learn something， study and then get a good night's sleep．

【1】What is the difference of the two groups' tasks？ ______

A. Who to learn．   B. What to learn．

C. How to learn the words．   D. When to learn the words．

【2】How did the participants deal with a typing mistake they made？ ______

A. Translating the same word again．

B. Leaving the wrong word alone．

C. Asking for a correct answer．

D. Redoing the typing twelve hours later．

【3】What does the underlined word it in Para． 2 refer to？ ______

A. Correcting the mistakes．

B. Typing the French translation．

C. Typing the Swahili words．

D. Showing the Swahili word on the screen．

【4】Compared to the wake group ， those in the sleep group ______ ．

A. typed more quickly

B. made fewer translation mistakes．

C. learned with more effort．

D. learned all the word- pairs．

23、The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.

I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51 years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.

Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I’ve never faced such a structured(高度组织化的) time since, well, when I went to camp in Grade 9. I think of home.

The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes(股流) of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit. I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.

Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp director a big hug.

【1】How did the author feel before the camp?

A．Angry.

B．Disappointed.

C．Anxious.

D．Excited.

【2】Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?

A．To stress its liveliness.

B．To explain its topic.

C．To introduce his preference.

D．To show its similarity to camping.

【3】Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?

A．He is fed up with making excuses.

B．He hates to be regret-stricken.

C．He desires to show off his swimming skills.

D．He is encouraged to do so by his colleagues.

【4】What happened to the author at the end of the camp?

A．He has used up his energy.

B．He misses home very much.

C．He turns into a camp director.

D．He has become a camp lover.

24、When I worked on the manufacturing shop（车间）floor, we rarely saw plant managers. Except for one. He often walked through the plant. He checked out product quality. He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a "hello." He wasn't outgoing. He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader." Yet we liked him.

In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study, researchers had four women attend a number of different classes. Their attendance varied: one woman might attend every class; a different woman might attend only a few. What didn't vary was their behavior. None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.

At the end of the term, students were asked which woman they liked best. Who "won"? Women who attended the highest number of classes. According to the researchers, "Mere exposure had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity." Or in non-researcher-speak: If I see you frequently, I naturally like you more. That's the power of showing up.

Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters. In a 1967 University of Minnesota study, researchers gave study participants profiles of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups. When asked, the participants said they liked their future partner more. Even though the profiles were almost identical.

Want your team or your customers to like you more? Show up. Drop in. Drop by. Send a brief note. Make a quick phone call. You don't have to say or do much. Then, be consistent in your behavior. In time, people will expect you to drop in or drop by, whether in person or virtually. Anticipating future contact will make them like you more.

【1】What does the first paragraph serve as?

A．An introduction.

B．A background.

C．A comment.

D．An explanation.

【2】According to the 1992 study, what helps make a student welcome?

A．Answering questions frequently.

B．Greeting others enthusiastically.

C．Behaving more like others.

D．Attending classes more often.

【3】What did the University of Minnesota study find?

A．Familiarity contributes to likability.

B．Identical behaviours enhance likability.

C．Future partnership increases likability.

D．Virtual contacts benefit likability.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Power of likability.

B．Research on likability.

C．Definition of likability.

D．Application of likability.
