Do you like running? Have you ever noticed a running track has two straight lines and tow curves(曲线)? Do you know why? Why is it not in some other.   46  , like a circle or a square?

Imagine that the track is a circle. Then you are changing your direction all the time when you run. This will consume (消耗) far   47   energy. If it’s a square track, you need to change directions.   48   at each comer.

It’s not good for the runner either.

How about making it a straight 400-meter line? Well, this is good for the runner, but not for the audience. That’s

  49   people designed running tracks to be oval-shaped.

The running track of the first modern Olympic Games, which were held in Athens, Greece in 1896, was in the shape of U. The first 400-meter track similar to today’s was   50   in the 1920 Olympic Games.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like others to notice me. And if I was not told to have a seat by the teacher, I always   51   to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I could join the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, and I didn’t have the   52   to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept insisting on(坚持) my “  53   for it”, I decided to give a try.

Getting the   54   to try was only the half of it! When I first started   55   the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused(迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really silly.   56  , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game. So I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know. I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the   57   and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING   58   I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!

With more self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “  59  ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,   60   raising my hand —even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

(    )57.A. steps  B. games  C. rules

(    )58.A. so  B. because  C. though

(    )59. A. hiding  B. playing  C. relaxing

(    )60.A. by  B. to  C. with

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容判断句子正误. 正确的涂A，错误的涂B（共5小题，每小题2分；计10分）

As students, we should work hard at school, but having a good rest is also very important. Maybe the followings are useful to relax.

First of all, we should think about what exactly causes us to feẹl tired or stressed. According to the Mayo Clinic, a lack of exercise is the main reason for feeling tired. With this in mind, finding the time to do light exercise during the day could make a huge difference to our mood(心情).

Light exercise includes really simple things like walking, cycling, or even doing housework. This means that if you normally take the bus or subway to school, you could try walking instead. Or when you get home from school, spend 30 minutes or so cleaning up or helping your parents to make dinner.

Being more active is a great way to relax. But yet another way to feel better about yourself could be to take up a hobby. “In fact, hobbies are just as important to good health as exercise is, thanks to their abilities to reduce stress,” according to the health magazine Shape. And having a hobby is one of the best ways people can show passion(热情) and leadership.

A hobby could be anything. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it takes your mind off your daily worries. A new hobby could not only relax you, but it could also help you develop some new skills. So, the next time you feel stressed, don’t forget to slow down and relax. Something as small as taking a quick run in the park could make a huge difference to your day.

(    ) 61. Walking during the day could make people relaxed.

(    ) 62. There are only 3 ways mentioned in the passage to relax us.

(    ) 63. Taking up a hobby could make you less confident.

(    ) 64. If you feel stressed, you can slow down and relax.

(    ) 65. The passage mainly tells us how to deal with our pressure.

Living on an island might sound wonderful. But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return? What if your home, and even the land it stood on, was gone forever?   1   

Climate(气候) change is causing the sea to rise. That’s bad news for the Pacific Islands. Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder: Will they be the last generation(一代人)?

This won’t happen if the islanders choose to do something about it.   2   The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries: the Marshall Islands, Fiji, Samoa, and others. But now, those countries are working together. They’re joining forces to fight climate change.

Why is climate change such a huge threat(威胁) to this part of the world? Islands have low elevations(海拨).

  3   That’s why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part.

But these are small countries. When it comes to climate change, can they make a big difference? They can, because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships.   4   After all, ships put out almost 3 percent of the world’s carbon emissions (碳排放). That makes climate change worse.

Pacific Islanders realize the problem. So, in 2019, six countries got together. They came up with a plan. They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030. How will they pull this off?   5   They’ll make use of solar and wind energy(太阳能和风能).

Sea levels are rising, but hopes aren’t sinking in the Pacific Islands.

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Why does washing hands with soap not happen as often as we might think? This is partly because there aren’t enough resources (资源) in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It’s not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood—but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

Sidibe, a health expert says soap is “the most beautiful invention in health”. Washing your hands with soap can make a big difference to reduce (减少) the spread of diseases (疾病). Handwashing with soap keeps children and adults healthy.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促进) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in some African countries.

Today, different areas and countries continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives and improves the health of millions around the world.
