I carried the flame in 1984 in the Torch Relay as it made its way across the country to the Olympics in Los Angeles. I wasn’t an Olympic athlete. My dad did some voluntary work for the Olympics that year, for which I was able to carry the flame. Still it makes me realize that all sorts of honors can come our way unexpectedly.
On one May night, the flame had just begun its journey across America, covering around 15,000 kilometers. It inched its way along the coast from New York, each runner carrying it for a kilometer. Some of the runners were famous and admired. Others were common people like me and supporters of the event.
I had already been sent a uniform and the official torch. I held it as I stood waiting in the dusk for the flame to arrive. Part of me wondered if it would even arrive. Would they ever find enough runners to cover that ambitious distance?
All at once it happened. A runner appeared and lit my torch. I was sent on my way. People lined the road, clapping and shouting as I passed, not for me, but for what I represented: the free expression of athletic skills and the celebration of talent, devotion, and discipline. Soon I passed the flame on to the next runner. I think we all have these opportunities to carry the torch of our faith and
our values, because we can all be the light of this world. We might wonder if what we have to do or say or show will even matter. But we should step out, lit by our faith and values, and meet people waiting for us all along.
4. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?
A. The Torch Relay begun in Los Angeles.
B. Not all flame carriers are athletes.
C. The author’s experience made him stand out.
D. Great honor came to the author’s father.
5. How did the author feel when waiting for the flame to arrive?
A. Excited. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Panicked.
6 Why did the people on the roadside clap? .
A To celebrate the Olympic spirits. B. To encourage the runners.
.
C. To show their love for sports. D. To praise Olympic athletes.
7. What does the author call on people to do in the end?
A. Keep to their values. B. Attend the Olympics.
C. Let their light shine. D. Carry Olympic torches.
C
While Disney animations are successful in moving their audiences, their subsidiary (子公司) Pixar is expert at creating tear-jerking movies as well.
At first sight, it is remarkable that these movies make us cry—the main characters are cartoon characters, in most cases not even human beings, who do things that could evidently never happen in the real world: toys come to life, monsters are to scare sleeping children, and helium-balloon-powered houses travel the world. How can a story so unrealistic make us care so much about their animated main characters?
The Pixar creators explained that their stories often reflect their own personal lives. Whereas the animated characters are far from real, their lives are relatable. The magical ingredient is the realistic portrayal of the complex emotional lives of the characters.
As Pixar director Pete Doctor explains: “What you’re trying to do, when you tell a story, is to write about an event in your life that made you feel a particular way. And what you’re trying to do,
when you tell a story, is to get the audience to have that same feeling. While this is true for storytelling in general, it is especially important in Pixar movies, given that the basic plots of their movies cannot happen in real life.”
What makes Pixar’s highly unrealistic stories believable is the fact that they address problems that are central to our own lives. Pixar addresses real human matters such as family, friendship, death, loss, and the highly realistic emotions that such events evoke in our life.
The effect of the story thus depends on the human capacity to empathize with others: to recognize which emotions others experience, and to understand why others feel how they feel. The fact that empathy is learned and developed through life may well be the reason why these movies are entertaining for kids but rather devastating and heart-crushing for adults.
Every Pixar movie has the moment when we cry. We learn and feel with the characters through the realistic portrayal of their emotional lives. The stories appeal to our deepest emotions and, thus, make us cry. Because, essentially, Pixar stories are about us.
8. Which real issue may not be dealt with in Pixar’s movies?
A. Family conflicts. B. Romantic love.
C. A political issue. D. The betrayal of a friend.
9. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The Pixar’s movies are not only entertaining for kids but also heart-breaking for adults.
B. Pixar can create touching movies because of the support from Disney.
C. Both the realistic emotions and real human matters are shown vividly in Pixar’s tear-jerking movies.
D. People can find empathy more easily in animation movies than in any other movies.
10. The key reason for the success of Pixar’s movies lies in _________.
A. empathy of the audience
B. the delicate film design
C. the adorable cartoon characters
D. good taste of the audience
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to Make Unrealistic Stories Believable?
B. How Do Disney Pixar Movies Make Us Cry?
C. Why Are Human Easily Attracted by Movies?
D. What Makes Disney Pixar Movies Successful?
D
Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala ( 大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kühn, head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk. This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.
12. What does the hen-and-egg problem mean by Sonja Sudimac?
A. Living in rural areas actually affects brain activity.
B. People in cities tend to have a higher risk of mental problems.
C. It’s unnecessary to work out the complex issue of stress and health.
D. It’s hard to clarify the impact of living environment on mental health.
13. How did researchers collect evidence for the study?
A. By quoting authoritative experts.
B. By interviewing healthy volunteers.
C. By researching on a previous theory.
D. By comparing volunteers’ amygdala activities.
14. What contribution did Simone Kühn and his team mainly make?
A. Confirming the assumption of nature’s benefits to brain health.
B. Supporting a commonly held view of urban exposure.
C. Revealing the link between age and mental health.
D. Identifying the causes of mental health problems.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Benefits of a regular walk in nature.
B. The focus of the follow-up research.
C. An appeal for living in urban regions.
D. Nature’s positive effects on women and children.

One particular Thanksgiving, the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on our front lawn. Dad built a long table, and Mom and I rounded up every chair in the house. I did the place settings and made the centerpiece — my favorite job of the year.
My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon. I watched him walk from the street up the lawn, tall with his blond hair shining in the sun. Another car had pulled up behind them, and Uncle Gordon waited for a slim man to join him. As they walked, he and Gordon chatted. Mom came out of the house and greeted my aunt. Then, with a surprised look, she said hello to Gordon and his friend.
“Who’s this?”
Gordon smiled and told us the man’s name. “A Canuck(法裔加拿大人) from Toronto, like me.”
“Oh,” Mom said uncertainly. “Well, welcome. Leslie, get another place setting and a chair.” She turned to the stranger. “Please have a seat. We’re going to eat in about half an hour. ”I thought the man looked a little funny, but he smiled. “Why, thanks. Thanks a lot.” I did as Mom asked and set a place at the table for the stranger. I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall home. And they did a lot of talking.
After dinner, the man approached my mother with a smile. “Thank you for including me in your Thanksgiving dinner, Joyce. It wasn’t something I was expecting.” Mom frowned, a little confused. “Of course,” she said. “We’re glad you could be here. Do you have Thanksgiving in Canada?”
“Ours is in October. We have turkey, though, just like you.” He smiled. “But this is one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had. I guess Americans and Canadians aren’t that different, eh?” Then again, he said, “But I never expected this.”
“Gordon’s friend seems nice,” Mom said to my aunt when we were alone in the kitchen. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Gordon’s friend?” my aunt said. “He’s not Gordon’s friend. We don’t know him.”

One particular Thanksgiving, the weather was so beautiful that Mom decided to have dinner on our front lawn. Dad built a long table, and Mom and I rounded up every chair in the house. I did the place settings and made the centerpiece — my favorite job of the year.
My aunt arrived with Uncle Gordon. I watched him walk from the street up the lawn, tall with his blond hair shining in the sun. Another car had pulled up behind them, and Uncle Gordon waited for a slim man to join him. As they walked, he and Gordon chatted. Mom came out of the house and greeted my aunt. Then, with a surprised look, she said hello to Gordon and his friend.
“Who’s this?”
Gordon smiled and told us the man’s name. “A Canuck(法裔加拿大人) from Toronto, like me.”
“Oh,” Mom said uncertainly. “Well, welcome. Leslie, get another place setting and a chair.” She turned to the stranger. “Please have a seat. We’re going to eat in about half an hour. ”I thought the man looked a little funny, but he smiled. “Why, thanks. Thanks a lot.” I did as Mom asked and set a place at the table for the stranger. I put him next to Uncle Gordon so the two friends could recall home. And they did a lot of talking.
After dinner, the man approached my mother with a smile. “Thank you for including me in your Thanksgiving dinner, Joyce. It wasn’t something I was expecting.” Mom frowned, a little confused. “Of course,” she said. “We’re glad you could be here. Do you have Thanksgiving in Canada?”
“Ours is in October. We have turkey, though, just like you.” He smiled. “But this is one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had. I guess Americans and Canadians aren’t that different, eh?” Then again, he said, “But I never expected this.”
“Gordon’s friend seems nice,” Mom said to my aunt when we were alone in the kitchen. 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Gordon’s friend?” my aunt said. “He’s not Gordon’s friend. We don’t know him.”
