In Return
Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I started to
feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity (不幸)on the court and he was
playing in a bad environment﹣it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters, and
Nathan's team was left behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had been fired earlier
in the day. A career position I held for 14 years was the victim of corporate restructuring (公司
重组).I was prepared for it as I had experienced the same thing 14 years earlier, but, just like
a punch in the mouth, the blow is never softened because you were expecting it.
As I watched the adversity on the court that my son was experiencing, I recalled my earlier
events, packing up everything in a box and waving goodbye to a great group of colleagues with
whom I'd had the pleasure of working. Driving home, I kept telling myself, " I will find work
again in a short time 一 I am confident in my experience and abilities. " It was a belief I repeated to
myself during a trying day and it was the same one that I tried to teach my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter. I saw the focus and determination on his face
. There was no room for self﹣doubt. He fought back to go ahead by three points. After he made 第 6 页(共 13 页)
the basket , his team was able to hang on and stop the other team from scoring , and won the
game. Nathan's joy on his face, the cheering from the crowd, the silence on the other side of the
gym﹣﹣it was a moment that would make any parent proud.
As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned (领悟)on me that I had taught him
determination in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief
moment of self﹣doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on
the basketball court.
(1)What happened to the author 14 years earlier?

B.He quitted his job.
C.He worked in a bad environment.
D.He was prepared for a career position.
(2)In face of adversity, the author had taught his son the following beliefs EXCEPT .

D. determination
(3)What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 3?
A.To criticize the unfriendly gym.
B.To encourage himself to be confident.
C.To amuse the readers with a funny sport event.
D.To acknowledge Nathan's focus and determination.
(4)What can we learn from this story?
A.Success means getting personal desires satisfied.
B.Little man can make a big difference.
C.Fame is a great thirst of the young.
D.You harvest what you sow.
5.(8 分)On a windy day in early March, Fabiano Caruana decides to get away. He drives three
hours west from his St. Louis apartment to a 2,000﹣acre field in the countryside of Missouri 第 7 页(共 13 页)
owned by a friend.
At 7 : 30 the next morning, he heads out for an hour﹣long run with his training partner,
Cristian Chirila. As he's jogging, ifs easy to mistake him for a soccer player. He has a packed
schedule for the day:a five﹣mile run, an hour of tennis, half an hour of basket ball, and an
hour of swimming.
But Caruana is, in fact, an American grandmaster in chess, the number two player in the
world. His training partner, Chirila? A Romanian grandmaster. And they're doing it all to
prepare for the physical demands of…chess? Yes, chess.
It seems to make no sense. How could two humans 一 seated for hours, with no greater
manner than off and on extending their arms a foot at a time﹣﹣face physical demands?
In October 2018, Polar, a U. S. based company that tracks heart rates, monitored chess
players during a tournament and found that 21﹣year﹣old Russian grandmaster Mikhail Antipov
had burned 560 calories in two hours﹣roughly what Roger Federer bums in an hour of tennis.
Grandmasters in competition are subjected to constant stress. That causes their heart and
breathing rates to increase, which forces their bodies to produce energy.
Meanwhile, players eat less during tournaments, simply because they don't have the time or
the appetite. Stress also leads to disturbed sleep patterns, which in turn cause more tiredness and
can lead to more weight loss. A brain operating on less sleep, even just one hour, requires more
energy to stay awake during the chess game.
It all combines to produce an average weight loss of 2 pounds a day, or about 10 to 12 pounds
over the course of a ten﹣day tournament.
To fight against the stress, some players have begun to adopt strict food and fitness methods to
increase oxygen supply to the brain during tournaments, prevent sugar﹣related crashes, and
sustain their energy. " Physical fitness and brain performance are tied together," Ashley says, a
grandmaster and commentator (解说员).
So back in Missouri, Caruana and Chirila hole up in the dining room for six hours of chess.
Afterward, Caruana looks tired. Still, he grabs a handful of nuts and heads out for a final hour
of tennis before dinner.
After dinner, he passes on the chocolate pudding pie. "No dessert for me today," he says.
Last year, Caruana gave up alcohol before the world championship. This time, he has chosen 第 8 页(共 13 页)
sugar. In his mind, Caruana knows what he has to do: he just needs his body to hold up.
(1)What do we know about chess players?
A.They eat dessert for energy during the competition.
B.They all have physical training during the tournament.
C.Disturbed sleep patterns are common among chess players.
D.Playing chess is physically demanding for chess players.
(2)Which of the following words can best describe Fabiano Caruana?
A.Clever and strong.
B.Humorous and knowledgeable.
C.Determined and ambitious.
D.Straight and honest.
(3)Which is NOT a reason for the weight loss of chess players during a tournament?
A.Having little appetite.
B.Giving up alcohol.
C.Sleeping worse.
D.Competing under pressure.
(4)What is the best title for the passage?
A.Train Like a Master
B.A Day with a Packed Schedule
C.Physical Training Your Choice
D.Get Tied Together

Do You Have Enough Time?
Experiences are more likely than material goods to deliver happiness. But the fear of choosing
to pursue the wrong experience, and therefore wasting valuable time, is something many of us
feel deeply.
There's something funny to this﹣we have more free time now, but for a number of reasons,
it doesn't feel that way.
In his book Spending Time, Daniel Hamermesh explains that while our lifetimes have gotten 第 9 页(共 13 页)
a bit longer﹣13% since 1960﹣our spending power has increased by 198%. "It makes it difficult
to stuff all the things that we want and can now afford into our limited available time to purchase
and to enjoy them over our lifetimes," he writes.
Next, there's our cell﹣phone addiction. American adults spend around 3.5 hours on their
devices each day, trying to keep up with the emails, social media updates and 24/7 news. And
much of our time is "contaminated time" 一 when we're doing one thing but thinking about
something else. It makes us think we're being productive, but really it just makes us feel more
worn out.
Add to this the ever expanding options in today's experience economy. Think of all the pop﹣
ups, plays, workshops and escape rooms you could go to tonight. No wonder many of us suffer
from what psychologists call " time famine". No wonder we're seeing books about attaining more
of our time and letting go of cell phones, like Jenny Odell's How to Do Nothing.
There've been calls to control the attention economy, but the factors that make us feel time﹣
poor aren't going away anytime soon. Tech companies, for instance, may have built apps to tell
you how much time you spend on your device, but their business models rely on your continued
use.
As for me, I have characterized experiences as "rubbish food" or "superfood". Rubbish?
Spending too much time indoors on Facebook or TV, alone. Superfood? Getting offline and
outside and doing things for or with others and staying active.
These experiences require that we actually take time off﹣not easy in a culture attaching so much
importance to productivity. But researchers say sometimes it's about changing our thoughts of
leisure activities. Harvard's Anat Keinan has found a helpful way: we're more likely to go
camping if we acknowledge it will be good for our productivity at work. Similarly, we often
choose "collectable experiences" that give us a story to tell, as we like to feel we're accomplishing
something. Keinan has also argued that while we often feel good about ourselves by choosing work
over leisure , in the long term we're likely to regret this , feeling we've missed out on "the
pleasures of life".
Time is our least renewable resource. It's good for us to consider if we're using it wisely.
(1)Which of the following statements can best explain "contaminated time" in paragraph 4? 第 10 页(共 13 页)
A.Checking emails frequently.
B.Scanning Twitter while watching TV.
C.Looking up new words in the homework.
D.Keeping up with the social﹣media updates.
(2)Which of the following is NOT a factor that makes us feel time﹣poor?
A.Our lifetimes have become longer than decades ago.
B.We're too addicted to our mobile phones.
C.Our spending power has sharply increased.
D.There are an increasing number of things for us to experience.
(3)The underlined word "famine'' in paragraph 5 probably means .
A.uselessness
B.value
C.management
D.shortage
(4)According to the passage, we should .
A.cut down the eating of rubbish food and enjoy superfood more
B.experience something relaxing if it adds to our work performance
C.make wise use of time by choosing work over leisure activities
D.use a time﹣management app to know how we spend our time

Sustainable Fabrics (织物)of the Future
Choosing what to wear can be a difficult problem, especially if you're a fashion victim. Trying
to keep up with the latest styles involves regular visits to the shopping malls and sometimes paying
for expensive designer clothes. But the fashion often changes. (1)
Many stores now offer cheap "fast fashion"一 low﹣price items that copy the styles of more
expensive designer brands. Environmentalists are angered by the amount of energy involved in
making these clothes and that many of them are made from non﹣ recyclable materials. (2)
Eleanor Lawrie, a BBC reporter, says that people in the UK are the worst in Europe for 第 11 页(共 13 页)
getting rid of unwanted clothes every year . And she says , " On top of often poor labour
conditions for workers, the fashion industry is also responsible for 20% of the world's waste water
, and 10% of carbon emissions (丹 F 放)."
This is something the fashion industry is becoming more aware of and has tried to find new
crops of biomaterials to replace wasteful fabrics like cotton and leather. Examples include Pinatex
, a leather﹣like material made from pineapple leaves. It's been used in collections by Hugo Boss
and H&M. (3) It is being used to create food, packaging and clothes.
(4) The current farming practice requires a massive amount of water and insect killer
. Eleanor says, "About 15,000 litres of water are required to make one pair of jeans, while 95%
of its material is cotton. " So, buying organic cotton is a better choice. And there is also Tencel
, a natural product becoming increasingly popular. It's made by taking cellulose fiber (木质纤
维素)from trees and its production is thought to use 95% less water than cotton processing.
Professor Richard Blackbum from Leeds School of Design tells the BBC that creating
sustainable fabrics is only part of the battle 一 buying reasonably, buying second hand and buying
fewer clothes are obviously the more environmentally friendly choices for people. (5) If
one can do that, he is starting to be sustainable.
A.Cotton is a very resource﹣demanding crop to grow.
B.And there's Mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms.
C.Every year, a million tonnes of unwanted fabrics just get thrown away.
D.Many of your clothes will then be left in the back of cupboards gathering dust.
E.Recycled cotton can come from secondhand clothing or from fabrics' leftovers.
F.This means the cheap fashionable items will have to be burned or go into landfill.
G.One shouldn't consider buying any item of clothing unless he commits to 30 wears.
