8、y twenty-five years of coaching,I encountered many extraordinary athletes.Yet theathlete who made the greatest impression on me wasnt one of those promising young men,butBobby Colson.Early in the season,Bobby,who looked heavy but strong,11 me in the school hallway.He told me he was eager to join in
9、our track team and believed he could make an important 12.I was deeply 13 by his presentation and self-confidence.Given his physique,the logical role for Bobby was that of a“weight man”.So he did his bestin trying discus(铁饼),shot pot,only to find out these events were not 14 for him at all.So Bobby
10、intended to try another more difficult event:two-mile race.I admired Bobbys 15,but to myself,I questioned whether the two-mile race was a good choice.Yet Bobby was 16 and for the following weeks,he painfully but 17 struggled through his workouts.Three months later,the two-mile race was well underway
11、.While all the other runners hadalready finished,Bobby 18 had three laps to go.As Bobby completed his last two of his 19 laps,several boys from the other teams started making fun of him and 20 at him to getoff the track.Bobby was crying noticeably but kept going.At this moment,our team membersnotice

14、Since then,Ive seen many top athletes 27 the track when they knew they werent going to win a race.Bobby,on the contrary,neveronce 28 leaving that two-mile race.Once he 29,quitting was not an option.His examplehelped us all to understand that talent is God given,and those who have it should be thankf

28、ok.BLast summer,Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way towork in Minneapolis.She stopped at a traffic light,where a man wassitting with a sign asking for help.She rolled down her window.“Hey!”she shouted.“Im driving around giving free haircuts.If Igo grab my chair,do you want one right now?
29、”The man looked to be in his 60s.He was balding,and missing a fewteeth.As Steller liked to tell the story,he laughed,then paused.“Actually,”he said,“I have a funeral to go to this week.I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair i
30、mmediately.Afterthe work was finished,Edward looked in a mirror.“I look good!”he said.Until last year,Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘)aroundthe city.She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.“Its more than a haircut,”she said.“I want it to be a gateway,t
31、o show value and respect,but also to get to know people.I want to build relationships.”Steller knew that a haircut could change a life.One changed hers:As a teen,she sufferedfrom a severe disease,her hair thinned drastically.Seeing this,her mother arranged for Stellersfirst professional haircut.“To
32、sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just anillness,it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”she said.After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel theway shed felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology schoo
33、l in 2009,she began what shenow calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets.Her aim was that by doingsome kind acts,others would be inspired to spread their own.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,”she said.“I thought maybeId go around and ask if peop
34、le want free haircuts.I cant fix their problems,but maybe I can helpthem feel less alone for a moment.”It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness,such as a free haircut.“The way youshow up in the world matters,”said Steller.“You have no idea what people are going to do withthe kindness th

38、lopment,but more likely to be addicted to television and videogames?In the past,a poor person was normally considered to have bad character or have noambition.Banerjee corrects such views and explains the economics behind the poor.Poor peopletend to live with more worries in their lives,he said,so t
39、hey need tools such as televisions,cellphones,junk food and video games to relieve worries more than others.But investment in learningoften takes a long time to get rewards,while the poor are often impatient due to economic reasons,and their life in the meantime is getting more worrisome and boring.
40、That goes for health.Banerjee and his wife find that the poor spend the same amount of moneyand time,or even more on health and medical care than the middle class group,but they tend toget bad effects.The reason is that the poor often lack the essential medical and healthy knowledgeand they tend to
41、get medical treatment when the disease has worsened to a certain stage.Besides,they tend to trust the doctors who“give strong medicine”because they believe such doctors are the英语试卷 第 7 页(共 12 页)“good”ones.But in fact,“strong medicine”always leads to resistance to drugs andovertreatment.This kind of
42、attitude,which emphasizes treatment rather than early prevention,hasbrought many poor people more economic stress and physical damage,and even has affected theeducation of their next generation.According to the study,children in poorer physical conditiontend to spend less time in school and have low
43、er incomes after graduation,so poverty gets“inherited”.When it comes to finance,Banerjees research has found that the poor often need to borrowlittle and short-term loans while paying extremely high interest rates.It is also because the poortend to take higher financial risks they often have unstabl
44、e incomes and are unable to getworking capital from banks,so they rely more on these high-interest loans.And these small loansput a brake on their savings against risks.How could the poor step into the middle class?Maybe starting a business is a way out.But forthe extremely poor,its impossible to ge
45、t the capital they need to start a business.In most cases,amore practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking,government jobs are very stable,which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the longterm,to increase the range of their thinking and thus
46、enabling families to move from poverty to themiddle class.Banerjees research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty,so thatpolicies can be tailored to decrease poverty and ultimately eliminate(消除)it.38.How do the poor deal with the issue of health?A.They spend less money in
47、 preventing disease.B.They focus more on the diseases than early prevention.C.They usually think it essential to resist strong medicine.D.They are willing to get free medical treatment from the government.39.From the underlined sentence,we can learn that.A.poverty is produced by the poorB.poverty is
48、 passed down by their parentsC.poverty has some bad effects on the poorD.poverty causes people to bear more economic stress40.Banerjee considers it difficult to overcome poverty because.A.the poor have bad character or have no ambitionB.the poor prefer to invest in business rather than workC.the gov
49、ernment hasnt taken proper and effective measureD.the poor were troubled by their lives,health and finance英语试卷 第 8 页(共 12 页)41.What can we learn from the passage?A.The poor have attached importance to education.B.The government cant provide the jobs for the poor.C.All the poor need to start a busine
50、ss for their survival.D.Banerjees research is helpful for the government to rid of poverty.DAI can identify rare genetic disordersPeople with genetic syndromes(基因遗传综合症)sometimes have revealing facial features,but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be tricky when there are hundreds of
51、possible conditions they may have.A new neural(神经的)network that analyses photographs offaces can help doctors narrow down the possibilities.Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look atthe gestalt(形态)or overall impression of faces and return a list of t
52、he 10 genetic syndromes aperson is most likely to have.They trained the neural network,called DeepGestalt,on 17,000 images correctly labeled tocorrespond to more than 200 genetic syndromes.The team then asked the AI to identify potentialgenetic disorders from a further 502 photographs of people with
53、 such conditions.It included thecorrect answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and his team also tested the AIs ability to distinguish between different geneticmutations(突变)that can lead to the same syndrome.They used images of people with Noonansyndrome,which can res
54、ult from mutations in one of five genes.DeepGestalt accurately identifiedthe genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time.“Its clearly not perfect,”says Gurovich.“But its still much better than humans are at tryingto do this.”As the system makes its assessments,the facial region
55、s that were most helpful in thedetermination are highlighted and made available for doctors to view.This helps them to understandthe relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions of privacy.If facescan revea
56、l details about genetics,then employers and insurance providers could,in principle,secretly use such techniques to discriminate against people with a high probability of having certaindisorders.However,Gurovich says the tool will only be available to doctors.Christoffer Nellaker at theUniversity of
57、Oxford says this technique could bring significant benefits for those with genetic英语试卷 第 9 页(共 12 页)syndromes.“This is not fundamentally different information than were sharing walking down the street,or were happy to share with Facebook or Google,”he says.“But questioning the data in this waymeans
58、you can obtain information about health or disease status.”“The real value here is that for some of these extreme rare diseases,the process of diagnosiscan be many,many years.This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space andthen be confirmed through checking genetic markers,”he says.
59、For some diseases,this kind of technology will cut down the time to diagnose thoroughly.Forothers,it could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease and,in turn,helpfind new treatments or cures.42.What is the purpose of Gurovichs neural network?A.To test the AIs ability.B.To analy
60、ze photographs of faces.C.To help doctors reduce the range of the diagnosis.D.To research the overall impression of patients faces.43.What disadvantage does Deep Gestalt bring?A.It will probably involve in the peoples privacy.B.It cannot provide information about health or disease.C.The diagnosis ba
61、sed on a simple photograph is not accurate.D.It could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease.44.What can we learn from the passage?A.The result of the assessments for this system is perfect.B.Deep Gestalt can correctly label 200 genetic syndromes.C.It seems doubtful to use AI t
62、o distinguish genetic mutations.D.This kind of technology can speed up the diagnostic process.45.What is the authors attitude to this technique?A.Supportive.B.Puzzled.C.Doubtful.D.Negative.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The World Water Day has been celebrated an
