25、 a dancer. That ambition nearly ended in 2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17- year-old high school senior in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning
26、. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight. “I want to prove to everyone including myself that Im still normal,” she said, whatever normal means.Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. Half of her body w
27、as taken away from her, so she had to move it with her hands. It took much learning and patience.After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who were fighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal(脊椎的)injuries,
28、 and invited them to dance with her. To reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes.Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their a
29、cting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time theyd felt they belonged. Edna Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car. “I didnt know I could do so many things that my fellow teammat
30、es had taught me.” she said. “I didnt know I could be sexy. Its so powerful to have my teammates in my life, because theyre my teachers. I have more confidence.”Chelsie Hill attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She has been chasing her dream in the wheelchair. Shes a dancer. The
31、 Rollettes havehelped her find something else just as fulfilling.34. What happened to Chelsie Hill in 2010?A. She last her hope of dancing.B. She suffered from a serious disease.C. She realized her dream of becoming a dancer.D. She was severely disabled due to a car accident.35. Why did Chelsie Hill
32、 set up the Rollettes in 2014?A. To expand her social network.B. To enlarge her dance business.C. To seek more chances to dance.D. To motivate more people like her.36. What change did the Rolleltes Experience bring to Edna Serrano?A. She could help others.B. She had more faith in herself.C. She lear
33、ned how to drive.D. She became sexier than before.37. Which of the following words can best describe Chelsie Hill?A. Modest and professional.B. Responsible and creative.C. Determined and inspiring.D. Cooperative and generous.CIn the first few years of their lives, children brought up in English-spea
34、king homes successfully master the use of hundreds of words, including those for objects, actions, emotions, and many other aspects of the physical world. However, when it comes to learning colour words, the same children perform very badly. If shown a blue cup and asked about its colour, typical tw
35、o-year-olds seem as likely to come up with “red” as “blue”.Cognitive (认知) scientists at Stanford University in California supposed that childrens incompetence at colour-word learning may be directly linked to the way these words are used in English. They are used mostly in pre-nominal position (e.g.
36、 “blue cup”), in contrast to post-nominal position (e.g. “The cup is blue.”). The difficulty children have may simply come down to the challenge of having to make predictions from colour words to the objects they refer to, rather than from the objects to the colour words.To explore this idea further
37、, the research team recruited 40 English children aged between 23 and 29 months and carried out a three-phase experiment. It considered of a pre-test, followed by training in the use of colour words, and finally a post-test that was identical to the pre-test. The pre- and post- test materials compri
38、sed six objects that were unfamiliar to the children. There were three examples of each object in each of three colours red, yellow and blue. The objects were presented on trays (托盘), and in both tests, the children were asked to pick out objects in response to requests in which the colour word was
39、either a pre-nominal (“Which is the red one?”) or a post-nominal (“Which one is red?”).In the training, the children were introduced to five sets of familiar items (balls, cups, crayons, glasses, and toy bears) in each of the three colours. Half the children were presented with the items one by one
40、and heard them labeled with colour words used pre-nominally, while the other half were introduced to the same items described with a post-nominal colour word. After the training, the children repeated the selection task on the novel items in the post-test. Correct choices on items that were consiste
41、nt across the pre- and post-tests were used to measure childrens colour knowledge.According to the assessment, childrens performance was consistent when they were both trained and tested on post-nominal adjectives, and worst when trained on pre-nominal adjectives and tested on post-nominal adjective
42、s. Comparing the pre- and post-test scores across each condition revealed a significant decline in performance when children were both pre- and post-tested with questions that placed the colour words pre-nominally.38. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To present a phenomenon.B. To make a contras
43、t.C. To give a possible explanation.D. To provide an example.39. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?A. The children had to place the pre-and post-test objects onto coloured trays.B. The children were presented with the same objects in the pre- and post- tests.C. Pre-nominal ques
44、tions were less used than post-nominal questions in the training.D. The researchers aimed to look for consistencies in childrens knowledge of word order.40. What does the underlined word “novel” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Imaginary.B. Unknown.C. Familiar.D. Common.41. The outcome of the experim
45、ent shows that .A. children are unable to accurately sort objects by colourB. children trained on pre-nominal adjectives perform wellC. children learn colour words rapidly in post-nominal positionD. children can make predictions from the objects to the colour wordsDIn the picture Landscape with Diog
46、enes by the 17th century French artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. He realizes he doesnt need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that Diogenes spiritual descendants (后代
47、) known as “new minimalists” are now everywhere, if not as completely possession-free as he was.There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their mo
48、nthly outgoings. Whats more, theres a general fear that people are becoming choked by their possessions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. Its true, sales of e-readers and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for books
49、helves is cut out.However, todays new minimalists dont urge us to burn our books and destroy our CDs, but just make sure we have them as digital files. So, for example, I have digitised versions of some of my old vinyl LP (黑胶) records and havent, as yet, stimulated myself to take the LPs to the near
50、est charity shop and I admit I shall probably go on keeping them. Technology has gone beyond our dreams and there is always the doubt that our hard drives will crash and all will be lost. Far more important, however, is the fact that our memories are so inseparably tied to our possessions that we ca
51、nt get rid of stuff. We are not exactly suffering withdrawal symptoms (症状) as we try to break our addiction to objects. We are just acquiring new stuff, which means we can bin or recycle our old stuff.Im happy to have found another website which seems to solve a whole lot of problems at once a thriv
52、ing online advice service offering storage solutions. The interior (室内的) designer responsible for this does not suggest getting rid of stuff, but rather recommends buying more stuff such as elegant flexible baskets or colourful lidded containers to hide the first lot of stuff from view. I love thisp
53、hilosophy convince yourself youve got your desire for possessions under control, without having to lose a thing. After all, we arent merciless enough to follow Diogenes and cast away all our possessions.42. Why does the author mention a picture by the artist Poussin?A. It illustrates a modern trend.
54、B. It describes a wise philosopher.C. Its meaning is only now becoming clear.D. Its message is not as simple as it appears.43.

57、w up to be happy and successful. (46) A wide range of research, however, indicates happiness brings success in adults, and achievements do not always make adults happier.Recently in new study, John K. Coffey II, assistant professor of psychology at Sewanee, the University of the South, found that ha
58、ppiness during infancy (婴儿期) predicted childhood IQ and adult educational success.In his 29-year study, Coffey used the Fullerton Longitudinal Study (FLS). In 1978 the FLS research team recruited 130 parents with babies for a study that now has run for more than 30 years. (47) When each baby was 18
59、months old, one parent reported how often his or her baby expressed positive and negative emotions and researchers measured the infants IQ. When babies were children (ages 6 to 8), they completed IQ tests. When babies had grown into 29-year-old adults, they reported how many years of education they
60、had completed and their life satisfaction.As expected, Coffey found that regardless of intelligence during infancy or parents wealth, happier babies were more likely to graduate from high school and college. (48) It suggests that happier babies learn more between infancy and childhood. (49) Parents
61、wishing to help their children enjoy greater happiness can focus on small changes they can make in their day-to-day lives to create more positive moments. Parents do not need to aim for intense experiences or “best day ever” for their children. Although peak experiences can be fun, they also tend to
62、 be tiring for both children and their parents, which can lead to anxiety and conflict.Currently, Coffey and other researchers are exploring when and why some children are happier than others or whether we can increase it. Happiness during infancy and childhood is predicted by relationships with car
63、egivers and teachers or by learning new skills. Inexpensive and easy-to-do activities like practising acts of kindness or appreciation can boost happiness. (50)A. We often think that achieving success will ultimately make us happy.B. We can use these activities to help children grow into happy and s
64、uccessful adults.C. To test his theory, Coffey looked at how intensely childrens emotions are experienced.D. These happy babies arent just growing up to be successful, but they are also happy adults.E. Further, happier babies had more growth in their IQ scores between infancy and childhood.F. Anothe
