2．（10分）When I was in my fourth year of teaching，I was also（and am still） a high school track and field coach（田径教练）.One year，I had a student，John，who entered my class when he was a junior.John changed to our school from Greece，and seemed to be interested in sports，so I encouraged him to join our track tea m.I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before，I did believe that he could do wel
l in any event，and I would be willing to coach him for whatever interested him.He accepted the offer，and b egan to work hard at every practice.
About a month later，I found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player，winning
vari ous junior awards in his home country.I went to him asking，"John，I really appreciate that you came out for the track team，but why didn't you play tennis instead？It seems that would interest you a lot more，since yo u're so good at it. " John answered，"Well，I like tennis，but you told me that you believed in me，and that y ou thought I could do well in track，so I wanted to try it for that reason. "
From then on，I often remember my student's reply.I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers.No matter how critical students can be of themselves，I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go along way!
（1）According to paragraph 1，what does the author seem to think more about？
A．John's PE marks.
B．John's self-confidence.
C．John's interest in sports.
D．John's state of health.

A．Teachers.

C．Students.
D．Players.
3．（10分）Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have.Imagine how Italian travele r Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil，seeing a way of life quite different from anything he'd seen before.
And how great must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey throu gh Central Asia and West Asia？His brain must have been packed with everything he'd seen and heard，leadin g to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have traveled all over the world，and travel is a way of life to them.They perhaps know what t o expect before they travel.That's why the best travel is when it's for the first time.Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States.Of course，they've probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousan d times on TV，and the White House，and all the other famous sights.But none of that would compare to the excitement of looking out of the window as the plane lands，watching the cities and streets of the real Ameri ca come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation，it's also educational.We may not know that we are getting an e ducation，but we still are.
We're learning every day：new words in a new language，new people，and new ways of life.But this learnin g takes place in the school of the world，not the classroom.As we get to know foreign places，we come to un derstand that there are many different ways to live，and that the way we live isn't necessarily the best way.
（1）The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .
A．explain how the Silk Road was founded
B．present travel as an amazing experience

D．people usually make better preparations for their first trip

A．fun
B．risk
C．learning
D．knowledge
（4）According to the last two paragraphs，the author believes that .
A．traveling should be included in formal education
B．traveling improves people's confidence in their lifestyle
C．foreign journeys can enrich people's knowledge of the world
D．foreign ways of life are better than our own way of life at home.
4．（10分）Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many years later？Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain，in rats at least.
"This is an animal study，but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important-not just for ph ysical development，but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive（认知的）development during ageing，" says Martin of the University of Toronto，Canada." In humans， it may put off the appearance of Alzheimer's symp toms（阿兹海默氏症），possibly to the point of preventing them."
Martin's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups，and placed running wheels in the cages o f one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later-when the rats had reached middle age-the tea m taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box，they fr oze with fear.
Two weeks later，the team tested the rats in three situations：exactly the same box in the same room，the same box with the room arranged differently，and a completely different box in a different room.
The rats without access to（接触）a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations，suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those tha t had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.
"The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young，at least for rats，has influence on b rain and cognitive health-in the form of better memories-when we're older，" says Arthur Kramer of Northeas tern University in Boston，who has found that，in humans，exercise improves the growth of new brain cells.
（1）The study shows that .
A．physical activity is important for physical health
B．using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growth
C．physical activity can prevent human's Alzheimer's symptoms
D．exercise when young can prevent memory loss when older in rats
（2）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．Exercise.
B．Development.
C．Benefit.
D．Study.
（3）How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed？
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By giving an example.
C．By describing the process.
D．By showing differences.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the animal study？
A．Surprised.
B．Objective （客观的）.
C．Critical （批判性的）.
D．Doubtful.
