When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014, the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother. His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent, The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.

Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家). On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.

“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.

She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.

Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.

Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community. “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.

41.What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about?

A. Durant’s career path.

B. Durant’s hard childhood.

C. Durant’s mother’s devotion to the family.

D. Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent.

42. What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Enjoyable. B. Important. C. Unusual. D. Hopeful.

43. What does Durant’s mother do as a motivational speaker?

A. To share experience of her life and education on her son.

B. To make Durant realize the importance of financial planning.

C. To give the audience advice on how to achieve financial stability.

D. To explain that we can enjoy rewards by working hard.

44. What are the financial principles of Durant’s mom?

China landed a spacecraft on Mars for the first time last Saturday. This makes China the first country to make a successful landing on Mars on its first mission to Mars. China's Zhurong rover （探测车）, named after a traditional Chinese fire god, has touched down on the martian surface, the China National Space Administration confirmed on the morning of Saturday, May 15,

The rover is part of the Tian wen-1 mission, which consists of an orbiter, a probe, and a lander. The mission was launched in summer last year, and took seven months to complete its journey to the red planet. It arrived at Mars in February this year, and since then the spacecraft has been performing operations such as capturing images of Mars.

Believe it or not, traveling to Mars is actually the easy part of such a mission. The truly hard part is landing on the planet's surface, as landers must contend with factors like the planet's thin atmosphere, its variable dust storms, and a communication delay between Mars and Earth. This delay makes it impossible for people in mission control on Earth to control a craft in real time as it approaches the planet, so the landing must be performed autonomously.

To slow its speed as the lander approached the surface, it used both a parachute （降落伞）and a retrorocket (减速火箭）in its own "seven minutes of terror" as it moved through the atmosphere. It then landed in the Utopia Planitia area, a large impact basin, part of which was exploded by NASA's Viking 2 lander in the 1970s.

According to China's slate news agency Xinhua, President Xi Jinping said he was sending “warm congratulations and sincere greetings to all members who have participated in the Mars exploration mission.”

The rover will now begin its three- month mission to explore the Utopia Planitia area, where it will be searching for surface and subsurface ice. The mission will involve both the rover and the orbiter working in concert to create a map of water ice, with the orbiter focusing on the planet's polar regions.

46. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Tianwen-1 mission includes four space missions.

B. Zhurong was known as a great astronomer in ancient China.

C. The spacecraft has carried out a series of experiments in advance.

D. China achieved success in landing on Mars creating a new record.

47. What should be carefully considered on landing on Mars?

a. Mars's atmosphere.   b. Mars's bad weather

c. The landing instructions.  d. The communication delay.

A. abc B. bed C. abd D. abcd

48. What does the author imply in Paragraph 4?

A. The landing way is quite different. B. The landing process is full of danger.

C. The landing site is unknown to NASA. D. The landing time is calculate precisely.

49. Which of the following missions will be launched in three months?

A. The analysis of ice samples.

B. The mapping of the Mars's polar regions.

C. The exploration of the Utopia Planitia area.

D. The collection of surface and subsurface ice.

50. Which column does the passage come from?

A. Space B. Fiction C. Medical D. Nature

D

It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.

The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said: “We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”

Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.

Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”

51. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one?

A. Those who join in structured activities.

B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.

C. Those who don’t like school sports.

D. Those who take part in game lessons.

52. What did the researcher focus on in their research?

A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams.

C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms.

53. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.

A. understand each other better B. follow the rules

C. respect the teachers  D. give up

54. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. How scientists carried out the research. B. Why parents were interviewed by phone.

C. How kids behaved at home or at school. D. How many sports kids did at school.

55. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph?

A. The research will be of great benefit.

B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens.

C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment.

D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.

Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.

Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.

She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want?’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.

“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.

Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state. Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”

56. What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people? (No more than 10 words)

57. Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her? (No more than 15 words)

58. What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about? (No more than 10 words)
