16、 physics textbook.B Standing at the finish line, 70-year-old Bob Long spent a while reflecting on the achievement hed just made. Behind him was the wild, endless Mongolian grassland extending into the distance. This American had just become the oldest person ever to complete and win the Mongol Derby
17、, the worlds longest horse race. Long, a rider all his life, entered the race after being inspired by All the Wild Horses, a movie based on the grueling event. Fearing that he wouldnt be able to complete it, he set about preparing his mind and body for this “hardest, toughest, most demanding thing y
18、ou can do on a horse”, an annual 1,000-kilometer race that was recognized as the worlds longest horse race by The Guinness Book of Records in 2011. Although Long had been riding horses for many years, the hardship and uncertainty of the task pushed him to his limit and forced him to depend entirely
19、on his own will. The race organizers had provided an extensive support network to keep an eye on the participants from afar. Despite that, the physical strain of riding such a long distance made simple things like squatting (蹲) down at the end of the day almost impossible. Along the vast race course
20、 there were unpredictable circumstances beyond Longs control, however well prepared hed been. Weather was one of them, which could switch from heavy rain to burning sun unexpectedly. Above all else, the biggest obstacle was the state of mind. Without a living soul in sight, Long was desperate for in
21、teraction, guidance, and comfort. This feeling of loneliness accounted for his hope that one of his fellow competitors would catch up. Regardless of the hardship, Long felt a sort of spiritual adventure while traveling through the wilderness. He was provided with some memorable moments while connect
22、ing with nature. Still holding the passion for riding, Long never dismisses the idea of competing in another Mongol Derby.24.

The physical strain of riding a long distance.27. What is the text mainly about? A. An introduction to the Mongol Derby. B. A r
25、eview of a film based on the longest horse race. C. The contributions Bob Long made to the horse race. D. The experience of the Mongol Derbys oldest winner.C The United States is a nation of car owners. Ninety-five percent of households own a car, and 85 percent of people get to work in one. This li
26、festyle contributes to congestion on our roads and damages the environment. As autonomous vehicles begin to hit the streets over the next decade or so, its believed that all this will change. Autonomous vehicles will most likely decrease the number and severity of crashes, allow cars to travel more
27、closely together and improve cooperation between vehicles, all of which tend to reduce traffic jams and increase capacity(容量). However, this future is not assured. To realize the full potential benefits of driverless cars, we will have to act soon to encourage a culture in which transportation is sh
28、ared. Many people in the automobile industry assume that driverless vehicles will automatically be shared, but there is little evidence that this is true. Most estimates suggest that driverless cars will eventually be only slightly more expensive than traditional cars, which means theyll be within r
29、each of many consumers, so users are not willing to share rides. If most people are going to buy-in to a shared-ride culture, they need to get a significant benefit. Saving a few dollars off the fare isnt likely to promote the movement dramatically. A better benefit would be knowing that youre going
30、 to reach your destination more quickly. The way to guarantee quick passage is to redesign our roads to give priority to ride-sharing autonomous vehicles like building priority lanes. The cost of travel will also be varied based on how efficiently a vehicle uses the roads. Autonomous vehicles carryi
31、ng multiple people should get higher priority than those carrying one or none at all. Decision-makers must push for incentives(动机) that encourage the most efficient use of our limited roadway infrastructure (基础设施). The autonomous future is rapidly approaching; it is critical that we act now, while t

To tell the severe traffic problem. C. To prove the necessity of autonomous vehicles. D. To show the damage of cars to the
33、environment.29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Autonomous vehicles are likely to reduce traffic jams. B. Driverless Cars are unaffordable for the average American. C. Saving some fares contributes to shared-ride significantly. D. Many people have ridden autonomous vehicles to avoid traffic j

36、work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was torn apart by self-criticism. “I cant stop beating myself up,” she told me. “Im at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?” Many students I teach, like this athlete, believe t
37、hat all-nighters in the library and hours on the field should get them exactly where they need to go. When they fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them f
38、rom discomfort. But there is something else at play among the most privileged in particular: a false promise that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. Psychologists have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mind-set” research, which has found that praising childre
39、n for effort will increase academic performance. Developed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, mind-set education has entered classrooms around the world. But a 2018 analysis found that while praising effort over ability may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, it does not nec
40、essarily help everyone. One possible explanation comes from Suniya Luthar, who argued in a research paper last year that for teens in wealthy communities, “it is not a lack of motivation and perseverance that is the big problem. Instead, it is unhealthy perfectionism, and difficulty with backing off
41、 when they should, when the drive for achievements is over the top.” This can lead to physical and emotional stress. The cruel, messy reality is that you can do everything in your power and still fail. Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things dont go their way, we should all qu
42、estion a culture that has taught them that feeling anything less than overwhelmed means theyre lazy, and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are. The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard. But we would be wise to remind our kids that life has a way
43、of sucker-punching(出其不意地击打) us when we least expect it. Its often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest.32. Which sort of students does the star athlete belong to? A. Those lacking courage to make self-criticism. B. Those tired of working all night in the library. C. Tho

It encourages teachers and parents to praise smart children. B. It has been proved beneficial to students all over the world. C. Applying it
45、wrongly causes a problem for privileged teens. D. Psychologists believe it is the source of academic achievement.34. What does Suniya Luthar find about teens in rich families? A. They dont stick to their goals. B. They are less motivated to achieve success. C. They break down easily under mental str

48、nting out some interesting sights. We dont have time for that silliness today. But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow. It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words. _36_Have you ever really thought about the saying “Actions speak lou
49、der than words”? Think about it now. If you say one thing and act in an opposite way, will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered? I dont think so. _37_ It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation, love, approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug,

Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime. I am sure that each of us remembers a time when a friend made an unkind commen

The power of this written note will be remembered for many days, even years. “I can live for two months on a g

Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood. _40_ A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child. “I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.” “Did you hang your coat up all by yourself?” It is amazing how those few wor
