For most people，graduation is an exciting days the conclusion of years of hard work.My graduation day…was not.Like everyone else in my graduating class，I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my senior year.We graduates had degrees，but very limited prospects.Numerous applications had not panned out（成功）and I knew that the next day，when my lease（租约）ended，I would no longer have a place to call home.
The weeks ahead weren't easy.I gathered up everything I couldn't carry and put it into storage.Then，because I knew my small university town couldn't offer me any opportunities，I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work.But what I thought would take a week dragged into two，and then four，and 100 job applications later，I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before.And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was closer.
You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear？Fearful of something you can't control —that sense of failure Everything that happened to you thus far was just a bad dream.That feeling became a constant in my life.Days felt like weeks，weeks like months and those many months felt like an unending difficulty.And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried，I just couldn't seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to maintain my sanity？I wrote.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.And if you want something badly enough...sometimes a little hope is all you need!I channeled my frustration into a children's book.Beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero featuring a little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream.
And then one day，without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance —I was offered a publishing contract for my first book!After that things slowly began to fall into place.I was offered a second book deal.Then，a few months later，I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Don't give up.Even if things look hopeless now don't give up.Two years ago I was huddled in my car drinking cold soup right out of the can.Things change.If you work hard，give it time，and don't give up，things will always get better.Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream...all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.

Is it possible to build houses that are completely self-sufficient in providing and disposing of their own water？Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall.A lack of water is increasingly becoming a problem.How is it possible to save and better use water resources in homes？
Some houses in rural areas of Australia do not have water supplied to them.The house was like this even though the people lived in a suburb called Gelorup，only 10 kilometers from the city of Bunbury.They collected all the water on the roof and from the gutters（排水沟）where it went into underground pipes that led to a large water tank.From the tank the water fed back to the house and supplied all their needs from drinking to flushing toilets.When they came to the end of the winter rainy season，they would carefully watch the level of the water in the water tank：it had an indicator on the side.
The water used by the house would go into a system below the house which purified it and eventually released it into the ground.They weren't allowed to use strong chemicals in cleaning and washing the natural bacteria needed to work in the water before it was released again.
This was a great system as water was not pumped to or from their house.They were using their own water and were self-reliant.They didn't even get a water bill!Imagine if every house could be built with this capacity.
The drawback was that it often seemed to be such a waste that the water filtering（过滤）down into the ground could not be first used on the garden.When they ran low on water，it was the garden that suffered as they had to stop watering.How often they imagined that water feeding the flowers and vegetables.
Now there is a system，developed by an Australian company that allows people to reuse much of that water.The system is called the Nexus eWater Recycler.On their website they explain that，"...grey water is wastewater generated by washing people and their clothes.It accounts for nearly half of the water used in a typical home…"Water from the bath，shower，sink dishwasher and washing machine is pulled into the recycler.There it is made safe enough to use on gardens and in toilets.
That surely would have solved all the water problems.Houses which do not collect their own water as people in Gelorup did，can also still benefit from this system.With the system，most of the water fed to the houses can be used twice over.In addition，the system has an extra component that can be bought and installed that uses the heat from the waste bath or washing machine water to heat up a tank of clean water.
26. What do we know about people living in Gelorup from Paragraph 2 and 3？ ______
A. They collect all the water they could find in the underground pipes.
B. They install a system to purify the water before it's supplied to the family.
C. They employ chemicals to kill the bacteria in water before draining it.
D. They seldom worry about the volume of water in their tanks in rainy season.
27. The drawback of the system used by Gelorup is ______ .
A. water should be pumped into the system to be purified before releasing
B. it fails to rid the waste water of unnecessary bacteria and virus before releasing
C. people still have to pay high water bill because of its low recyclability rate
D. the waste rate is so high that people have to sacrifice gardening when lacking water
28. What's NOT the advantage of the Nexus eWater Recyeler？ ______
A. Water dealt with by Recycler is safer to use in gardening.
B. It improves the recyclability rate of the waste water.
C. It enables every drop of water to be recycled and used again.
D. An extra component can help reuse energy from waste water.
29. What's the attitude of the author towards recycling water in homes？ ______
A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Central. D. Indifferent.
30. What could be the best title for this passage？ ______
A. A house that collects its own water.
B. A house that lies in rural area.
C. A famous Australian company.
D. An intellectual washing machine.
D
Youth sports in America needs a reset.
We've all read the cautionary tales about the crazy world of selective youth travel teams，of one sport specialists with helicopter parents willing to spend thousands of dollars in the hope a child's talent can be turned into a college scholarship.
At the same time，more kids give up early on organized sports by the pressures，financial burdens，or injuries.
The statistics are troubling.A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute and Utah State Families in Sports Lab found that overall youth team sports participation in the US is in decline—just 38 per cent of kids are playing team sports today，down from 45 per cent a decade ago.The average kid is quitting youth sports after less than three years—at age 11.
For those children who do keep playing，money becomes a factor.Team fees，travel costs，coaching，equipment—the price keeps going up，driving away kids from families that can't afford the bill.The result is something of a paradox（自相矛盾）：A"competitive"environment which becomes deeply exclusive（专有的），since only a fraction of the population has the means to compete.
"Parents who can afford to do so are investing more heavily in their child at an earlier age，" says Tom Farrey，the founder and executive director of the Aspen Institute's Sports &Society program."When you do that，you begin to push aside the families who can't afford the youth sport arms race.You also end up piling enormous amounts of pressure on the bodies and the minds of the children who are still in the game.
There have always been hyper-competitive（超强度竞争的）youth leagues of course and adults who don't know how to relax.But Farrey believes the growth of athletic scholarship opportunities—and the rising costs of college —ratcheted up the stakes（加大风险）.
"Parents know how expensive college is，and they start to think to themselves.'Huh，if I get him on the right travel team maybe my kid can get a college athletic scholarship，""he says."Or.increasingly，with wealthier families，preferential admission."
The solution，Farrey thinks，is turning down the volume.Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything."The game-changers in all of this are parents，"says Farrey."They think they understand what athletic development looks like but they don't know about the value of free play in developing creativity.They don't fully appreciate the value of playing multiple sports."
31. Which is NOT the reason why more kids are giving up organized sports early？ ______
A. Financial difficulty. B. Stress.
C. Scholarship. D. Injuries.
32. What do the statistics in Paragraph 4 show？ ______
A. All the kids are giving up youth sports at around age 11.
B. Less and less kids take part in team sports activities in America.
C. The participation of youth team sports decreases in parts of America.
D. The youth team sports participation has declined by 45 percent in the past decade.
33. What does the underlined phrase"turning down the volume"in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. Parents should reduce the expenses invested in sports.
B. The youth should pay more attention to school work rather than sports.
C. Parents should encourage their kids to treat the results of game lightly.
D. Colleges should rule out athletic scores or awards as a standard of scholarship.
34. Which of the following may Tom Farrey agree with？ ______
A. The poor family had better quit sports as early as possible.
B. Some parents' craziness for sports has brought about ill competition.
C. Competitive environment enables the youth to realize their potential in sports.
D. Colleges should include sports as criteria because free play can inspire creativity.
35. Where does this passage most probably come from？ ______
A. A sport magazine. C.A journal about health.
B. A travel brochure. D.A website about specialists.

56. Rock climbing requires not only physical strength，but also complete mental concentration.So it is not an easy sport.But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha DiGuilian.This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.
The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk.As a baby，she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills.Then at the age of seven she attended brother's birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.
Soon after，she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria，Virginia and began climbing—first once a week，then twice and soon，almost every day.At the age of nine，she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn't even been aware of，until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine.Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began ，training seriously，but this time outside the gym—climbing real mountains.
As a youngster，she won the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010.Then she went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough.And in 2011，at just 18 years old，she was crowned Female Overall World Champion in Arco，Italy at her first attempt.
Sasha DiGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14 d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical.The 5.14 d graded climb is regarded as the most difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to take on，because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death.

(2) When did Sasha DiGuilian find she had the talent for rock climbing？（no more than 12 words） ______

（2）推理判断题。根据第二段中But what I thought would take a week dragged into two，and then four，and 100 job applications later，I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before.And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was closer.（但是，我原本以为需要一周时间的事情却拖到了两周，然后是四周，然后是100份工作申请，我发现自己和以前一样处于同样的境地。我开始偿还学生贷款的截止日期也越来越近了。）及第三段中You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear？Fearful of something you can't control —that sense of failure Everything that happened to you thus far was just a bad dream.That feeling became a constant in my life.Days felt like weeks，weeks like months and those many months felt like an unending difficulty.And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried，I just couldn't seem to make any progress.（你知道那种一觉醒来就被恐惧吞噬的感觉吗？害怕一些你无法控制的事情——失败的感觉——到目前为止发生在你身上的一切都只是一场噩梦。这种感觉一直存在于我的生活中。日子过得像个星期，几个星期过得像个月，而那许多个月就像一个没完没了的困难。最令人沮丧的是，无论我多么努力，我似乎就是无法取得任何进展。）可知，作者找工作无望，还学生贷款的截止日期就要到来，感到非常的沮丧，内心充满了失败感。由此推断，作者所遇到的麻烦是他心理上的消极情绪。故选 D。
（3）词义猜测题。根据第四段中So what did I do to maintain my sanity？I wrote.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.（那么我做了什么来保持我的sanity呢？我写作。把文字写在纸上让一切看起来更清晰——更明亮。写作给了我希望。）划线处上下文进行猜测可知，sanity意思是"明智"。A.desperate绝望的；B.reasonable明智的；C.awkward令人尴尬的；D.frustrated懊恼的。只有B选项与之意思接近。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 And then one day，without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance —I was offered a publishing contract for my first book!（然后有一天，我没有任何写作学位，也没有在写作界的人脉——只是付出了大量的努力和坚持——我得到了一份出版合同，要出版我的第一本书!）可知，作者会收到第一份出版合同是因为他付出了大量的努力和坚持，从不灰心。故选C。
（5）推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者在毕业后经历了失败和恐惧，然后依靠坚持写作，不懈努力，走出困境的励志故事。我们能从这篇文章中明白的道理是依靠自己，不懈努力，贵在坚持，总会走出困境的。A选项God helps those who help themselves"天助自助者"符合作者所要表达的意思。故选A。

【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中They collected all the water on the roof and from the gutters（排水沟）where it went into underground pipes that led to a large water tank.From the tank the water fed back to the house and supplied all their needs from drinking to flushing toilets.When they came to the end of the winter rainy season，they would carefully watch the level of the water in the water tank：it had an indicator on the side.（他们收集了屋顶上和排水沟里的所有水，这些水流入地下管道，这些管道通向一个大水箱。水箱里的水回流到房子里，满足了他们从饮水到冲厕所的所有需求。当冬季雨季结束时，他们会仔细观察水箱里的水位：水箱侧面有一个指示器。）及第三段 The water used by the house would go into a system below the house which purified it and eventually released it into the ground.They weren't allowed to use strong chemicals in cleaning and washing the natural bacteria needed to work in the water before it was released again.（房子使用的水会进入房子下面的一个系统，经过净化，最终释放到地下。在水再次释放之前，他们不允许使用强效化学物质来清洁和洗涤水中工作所需的天然细菌。）可知，居住在 Gelorup的人在雨季很少担心水箱里的水量。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第五段中 The drawback was that it often seemed to be such a waste that the water filtering down into the ground could not be first used on the garden.When they ran low on water，it was the garden that suffered as they had to stop watering.（缺点是，它往往似乎是一种浪费，渗入地下的水不能首先用于花园。当他们的水用光时，遭殃的是花园，因为他们不得不停止浇水。）可知，Gelorup使用的系统的缺点是浪费率高，以至于人们在缺水时不得不停止对花园的浇水。故选D。
（3）。根据倒数第二段中On their website they explain that，"...grey water is wastewater generated by washing people and their clothes.It accounts for nearly half of the water used in a typical home…"Water from the bath，shower，sink dishwasher and washing machine is pulled into the recycler.There it is made safe enough to use on gardens and in toilets.（在他们的网站上，他们解释说："……灰水是洗涤人和衣服时产生的废水。它占了普通家庭用水的近一半……"来自浴缸、淋浴、水槽、洗碗机和洗衣机的水被拉入回收器。在那里，它被制作得足够安全，可以用于花园和厕所。）及最后一段中With the system，most of the water fed to the houses can be used twice over.In addition，the system has an extra component that can be bought and installed that uses the heat from the waste bath or washing machine water to heat up a tank of clean water.（有了这个系统，大部分的水都可以被两次使用。此外，该系统还有一个可以购买和安装的额外组件，该组件利用废浴池或洗衣机的水产生的热量来加热一罐清洁水。）可知，A选项"经回收处理的水用于园艺更安全"、B选项"提高了废水的可回收利用率"以及D选项"一个额外的组件可以帮助从废水中回收能源"说的都是Nexus电子水回收器的优点，只有C选项"它使每一滴水都能被循环利用"表达片面。故选C。
（4）观点态度题。根据最后一段开头 That surely would have solved all the water problems.Houses which do not collect their own water as people in Gelorup did，can also still benefit from this system.（这肯定能解决所有的水问题。那些不像Gelorup居民那样自己收集水的房屋也可以从这个系统中受益。）可知，作者对家庭用水的回用所持的态度是赞成的。A.Critical批评的；B.Approving赞成的；C.Central中心的；D.Indifferent冷淡的。故选B。
（5）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了在世界降雨量少的地区要如何节约和更好地利用家里的水资源，并以澳大利亚农村地区的格洛鲁普郊区没有水供应的房子为例，说明他们的房子是怎样的收集水和利用水的。所以A选项"自己收集水的房子"突出了文章的主旨大意，适合作本文标题。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在世界降雨量少的地区要如何节约和更好地利用家里的水资源，并以澳大利亚农村地区的格洛鲁普郊区没有水供应的房子为例，说明他们的房子是怎样的收集水和利用水的。

31~35.【答案】C、B、C、B、A
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段中more kids give up early on organized sports by the pressures，financial burdens，or injuries.（由于压力、经济负担或受伤，越来越多的孩子过早地放弃了有组织的运动。）可知，孩子们早早放弃有组织的运动是因为压力、经济负担或者受伤，而奖学金在文中没有被提及。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段中A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute and Utah State Families in Sports Lab found that overall youth team sports participation in the US is in decline—just 38 per cent of kids are playing team sports today，down from 45 per cent a decade ago.The average kid is quitting youth sports after less than three years--at age 11.（阿斯彭研究所和犹他州家庭体育实验室进行的一项调查发现，美国青少年团队运动的总体参与率正在下降，目前只有38%的孩子参加团队运动，低于十年前的45%。平均而言，11岁的孩子在不到三年后就退出了青少年运动。）可知，青少年放弃团队运动的平均年龄是11岁左右，并非所有孩子都在11岁左右放弃了团队运动，选项A与文章内容不符，故排除；整个美国的青少年团队运动参与率都下降了，而不是在美国的部分地方，C项与文章内容不符，故排除；青少年团队运动参与率在过去十年间从45%下降到38%，而不是下降了45%，排除D项。故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据画线句下文Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything.（玩游戏，但要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识。优先考虑包容和自由发挥。不要让孩子专注于一项运动。让他们玩所有的游戏。）可知，Farrey认为解决办法是让孩子们减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识，鼓励孩子们尝试各种运动。由此推断，turning down the volume此处的意思是"减少不惜一切代价去赢的竞争意识"；A.Parents should reduce the expenses invested in sports.家长应该减少在体育运动上的投入；B.The youth should pay more attention to school work rather than sports.年轻人应该更多地关注学业，而不是体育运动；C.Parents should encourage their kids to treat the results of game lightly.父母应该鼓励孩子对比赛结果等闲视之；D.Colleges should rule out athletic scores or awards as a standard of scholarship.大学应该排除将体育成绩或奖项作为奖学金标准的可能性。选项C与划线部分意思接近，故选C。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段"The game-changers in all of this are parents，"says Farrey."They think they understand what athletic development looks like but they don't know about the value of free play in developing creativity.They don't fully appreciate the value of playing multiple sports."（"这一切的游戏规则改变者都是父母，"法利说。"他们认为自己理解运动发展是什么样子的，但他们不知道自由发挥在培养创造力方面的价值。他们没有充分意识到参加多种运动的价值。"）可推知，Tom Farrey认为，一些家长对于运动的狂热导致了恶性竞争。故选B。
（5）文章出处题。阅读全文，并根据文章第一句Youth sports in America needs a reset.（美国的青少年体育运动需要重新调整。）以及最后一段中The solution，Farrey thinks，is turning down the volume.Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything.（Farrey认为，解决办法是"降低音量"。玩游戏，但要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识。优先考虑包容和自由发挥。不要让孩子专注于一项运动。让他们玩所有的游戏。）可知，本文主要谈论的是美国青少年的体育运动需要重新调整，要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识，让孩子们去尝试各种运动。由此推断，该文章有可能出现在一本体育杂志上。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论的是美国青少年的体育运动需要重新调整，要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识，让孩子们去尝试各种运动。

For most people，graduation is an exciting days the conclusion of years of hard work.My graduation day…was not.Like everyone else in my graduating class，I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my senior year.We graduates had degrees，but very limited prospects.Numerous applications had not panned out（成功）and I knew that the next day，when my lease（租约）ended，I would no longer have a place to call home.
The weeks ahead weren't easy.I gathered up everything I couldn't carry and put it into storage.Then，because I knew my small university town couldn't offer me any opportunities，I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work.But what I thought would take a week dragged into two，and then four，and 100 job applications later，I found myself in the exact same spot as I was before.And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was closer.
You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear？Fearful of something you can't control —that sense of failure Everything that happened to you thus far was just a bad dream.That feeling became a constant in my life.Days felt like weeks，weeks like months and those many months felt like an unending difficulty.And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried，I just couldn't seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to maintain my sanity？I wrote.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.And if you want something badly enough...sometimes a little hope is all you need!I channeled my frustration into a children's book.Beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero featuring a little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream.
And then one day，without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance —I was offered a publishing contract for my first book!After that things slowly began to fall into place.I was offered a second book deal.Then，a few months later，I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Don't give up.Even if things look hopeless now don't give up.Two years ago I was huddled in my car drinking cold soup right out of the can.Things change.If you work hard，give it time，and don't give up，things will always get better.Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream...all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.

Is it possible to build houses that are completely self-sufficient in providing and disposing of their own water？Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall.A lack of water is increasingly becoming a problem.How is it possible to save and better use water resources in homes？
Some houses in rural areas of Australia do not have water supplied to them.The house was like this even though the people lived in a suburb called Gelorup，only 10 kilometers from the city of Bunbury.They collected all the water on the roof and from the gutters（排水沟）where it went into underground pipes that led to a large water tank.From the tank the water fed back to the house and supplied all their needs from drinking to flushing toilets.When they came to the end of the winter rainy season，they would carefully watch the level of the water in the water tank：it had an indicator on the side.
The water used by the house would go into a system below the house which purified it and eventually released it into the ground.They weren't allowed to use strong chemicals in cleaning and washing the natural bacteria needed to work in the water before it was released again.
This was a great system as water was not pumped to or from their house.They were using their own water and were self-reliant.They didn't even get a water bill!Imagine if every house could be built with this capacity.
The drawback was that it often seemed to be such a waste that the water filtering（过滤）down into the ground could not be first used on the garden.When they ran low on water，it was the garden that suffered as they had to stop watering.How often they imagined that water feeding the flowers and vegetables.
Now there is a system，developed by an Australian company that allows people to reuse much of that water.The system is called the Nexus eWater Recycler.On their website they explain that，"...grey water is wastewater generated by washing people and their clothes.It accounts for nearly half of the water used in a typical home…"Water from the bath，shower，sink dishwasher and washing machine is pulled into the recycler.There it is made safe enough to use on gardens and in toilets.
That surely would have solved all the water problems.Houses which do not collect their own water as people in Gelorup did，can also still benefit from this system.With the system，most of the water fed to the houses can be used twice over.In addition，the system has an extra component that can be bought and installed that uses the heat from the waste bath or washing machine water to heat up a tank of clean water.
26. What do we know about people living in Gelorup from Paragraph 2 and 3？ ______
A. They collect all the water they could find in the underground pipes.
B. They install a system to purify the water before it's supplied to the family.
C. They employ chemicals to kill the bacteria in water before draining it.
D. They seldom worry about the volume of water in their tanks in rainy season.
27. The drawback of the system used by Gelorup is ______ .
A. water should be pumped into the system to be purified before releasing
B. it fails to rid the waste water of unnecessary bacteria and virus before releasing
C. people still have to pay high water bill because of its low recyclability rate
D. the waste rate is so high that people have to sacrifice gardening when lacking water
28. What's NOT the advantage of the Nexus eWater Recyeler？ ______
A. Water dealt with by Recycler is safer to use in gardening.
B. It improves the recyclability rate of the waste water.
C. It enables every drop of water to be recycled and used again.
D. An extra component can help reuse energy from waste water.
29. What's the attitude of the author towards recycling water in homes？ ______
A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Central. D. Indifferent.
30. What could be the best title for this passage？ ______
A. A house that collects its own water.
B. A house that lies in rural area.
C. A famous Australian company.
D. An intellectual washing machine.

Youth sports in America needs a reset.
We've all read the cautionary tales about the crazy world of selective youth travel teams，of one sport specialists with helicopter parents willing to spend thousands of dollars in the hope a child's talent can be turned into a college scholarship.
At the same time，more kids give up early on organized sports by the pressures，financial burdens，or injuries.
The statistics are troubling.A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute and Utah State Families in Sports Lab found that overall youth team sports participation in the US is in decline—just 38 per cent of kids are playing team sports today，down from 45 per cent a decade ago.The average kid is quitting youth sports after less than three years—at age 11.
For those children who do keep playing，money becomes a factor.Team fees，travel costs，coaching，equipment—the price keeps going up，driving away kids from families that can't afford the bill.The result is something of a paradox（自相矛盾）：A"competitive"environment which becomes deeply exclusive（专有的），since only a fraction of the population has the means to compete.
"Parents who can afford to do so are investing more heavily in their child at an earlier age，" says Tom Farrey，the founder and executive director of the Aspen Institute's Sports &Society program."When you do that，you begin to push aside the families who can't afford the youth sport arms race.You also end up piling enormous amounts of pressure on the bodies and the minds of the children who are still in the game.
There have always been hyper-competitive（超强度竞争的）youth leagues of course and adults who don't know how to relax.But Farrey believes the growth of athletic scholarship opportunities—and the rising costs of college —ratcheted up the stakes（加大风险）.
"Parents know how expensive college is，and they start to think to themselves.'Huh，if I get him on the right travel team maybe my kid can get a college athletic scholarship，""he says."Or.increasingly，with wealthier families，preferential admission."
The solution，Farrey thinks，is turning down the volume.Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything."The game-changers in all of this are parents，"says Farrey."They think they understand what athletic development looks like but they don't know about the value of free play in developing creativity.They don't fully appreciate the value of playing multiple sports."
31. Which is NOT the reason why more kids are giving up organized sports early？ ______
A. Financial difficulty. B. Stress.
C. Scholarship. D. Injuries.
32. What do the statistics in Paragraph 4 show？ ______
A. All the kids are giving up youth sports at around age 11.
B. Less and less kids take part in team sports activities in America.
C. The participation of youth team sports decreases in parts of America.
D. The youth team sports participation has declined by 45 percent in the past decade.
33. What does the underlined phrase"turning down the volume"in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. Parents should reduce the expenses invested in sports.
B. The youth should pay more attention to school work rather than sports.
C. Parents should encourage their kids to treat the results of game lightly.
D. Colleges should rule out athletic scores or awards as a standard of scholarship.
34. Which of the following may Tom Farrey agree with？ ______
A. The poor family had better quit sports as early as possible.
B. Some parents' craziness for sports has brought about ill competition.
C. Competitive environment enables the youth to realize their potential in sports.
D. Colleges should include sports as criteria because free play can inspire creativity.
35. Where does this passage most probably come from？ ______
A. A sport magazine. C.A journal about health.
B. A travel brochure. D.A website about specialists.

56. Rock climbing requires not only physical strength，but also complete mental concentration.So it is not an easy sport.But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha DiGuilian.This fearless girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.
The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says that she began climbing even before she could walk.As a baby，she constantly escaped from her bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills.Then at the age of seven she attended brother's birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.
Soon after，she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria，Virginia and began climbing—first once a week，then twice and soon，almost every day.At the age of nine，she won her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn't even been aware of，until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine.Her competitive nature and love for the sport immediately reached the peak and she began ，training seriously，but this time outside the gym—climbing real mountains.
As a youngster，she won the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010.Then she went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as she was old enough.And in 2011，at just 18 years old，she was crowned Female Overall World Champion in Arco，Italy at her first attempt.
Sasha DiGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14 d graded climb in which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical.The 5.14 d graded climb is regarded as the most difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to take on，because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death.

（3）词义猜测题。根据第四段中So what did I do to maintain my sanity？I wrote.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.（那么我做了什么来保持我的sanity呢？我写作。把文字写在纸上让一切看起来更清晰——更明亮。写作给了我希望。）划线处上下文进行猜测可知，sanity意思是"明智"。A.desperate绝望的；B.reasonable明智的；C.awkward令人尴尬的；D.frustrated懊恼的。只有B选项与之意思接近。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 And then one day，without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance —I was offered a publishing contract for my first book!（然后有一天，我没有任何写作学位，也没有在写作界的人脉——只是付出了大量的努力和坚持——我得到了一份出版合同，要出版我的第一本书!）可知，作者会收到第一份出版合同是因为他付出了大量的努力和坚持，从不灰心。故选C。
（5）推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者在毕业后经历了失败和恐惧，然后依靠坚持写作，不懈努力，走出困境的励志故事。我们能从这篇文章中明白的道理是依靠自己，不懈努力，贵在坚持，总会走出困境的。A选项God helps those who help themselves"天助自助者"符合作者所要表达的意思。故选A。

26~30.【答案】D、D、C、B、A
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中They collected all the water on the roof and from the gutters（排水沟）where it went into underground pipes that led to a large water tank.From the tank the water fed back to the house and supplied all their needs from drinking to flushing toilets.When they came to the end of the winter rainy season，they would carefully watch the level of the water in the water tank：it had an indicator on the side.（他们收集了屋顶上和排水沟里的所有水，这些水流入地下管道，这些管道通向一个大水箱。水箱里的水回流到房子里，满足了他们从饮水到冲厕所的所有需求。当冬季雨季结束时，他们会仔细观察水箱里的水位：水箱侧面有一个指示器。）及第三段 The water used by the house would go into a system below the house which purified it and eventually released it into the ground.They weren't allowed to use strong chemicals in cleaning and washing the natural bacteria needed to work in the water before it was released again.（房子使用的水会进入房子下面的一个系统，经过净化，最终释放到地下。在水再次释放之前，他们不允许使用强效化学物质来清洁和洗涤水中工作所需的天然细菌。）可知，居住在 Gelorup的人在雨季很少担心水箱里的水量。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第五段中 The drawback was that it often seemed to be such a waste that the water filtering down into the ground could not be first used on the garden.When they ran low on water，it was the garden that suffered as they had to stop watering.（缺点是，它往往似乎是一种浪费，渗入地下的水不能首先用于花园。当他们的水用光时，遭殃的是花园，因为他们不得不停止浇水。）可知，Gelorup使用的系统的缺点是浪费率高，以至于人们在缺水时不得不停止对花园的浇水。故选D。
（3）。根据倒数第二段中On their website they explain that，"...grey water is wastewater generated by washing people and their clothes.It accounts for nearly half of the water used in a typical home…"Water from the bath，shower，sink dishwasher and washing machine is pulled into the recycler.There it is made safe enough to use on gardens and in toilets.（在他们的网站上，他们解释说："……灰水是洗涤人和衣服时产生的废水。它占了普通家庭用水的近一半……"来自浴缸、淋浴、水槽、洗碗机和洗衣机的水被拉入回收器。在那里，它被制作得足够安全，可以用于花园和厕所。）及最后一段中With the system，most of the water fed to the houses can be used twice over.In addition，the system has an extra component that can be bought and installed that uses the heat from the waste bath or washing machine water to heat up a tank of clean water.（有了这个系统，大部分的水都可以被两次使用。此外，该系统还有一个可以购买和安装的额外组件，该组件利用废浴池或洗衣机的水产生的热量来加热一罐清洁水。）可知，A选项"经回收处理的水用于园艺更安全"、B选项"提高了废水的可回收利用率"以及D选项"一个额外的组件可以帮助从废水中回收能源"说的都是Nexus电子水回收器的优点，只有C选项"它使每一滴水都能被循环利用"表达片面。故选C。
（4）观点态度题。根据最后一段开头 That surely would have solved all the water problems.Houses which do not collect their own water as people in Gelorup did，can also still benefit from this system.（这肯定能解决所有的水问题。那些不像Gelorup居民那样自己收集水的房屋也可以从这个系统中受益。）可知，作者对家庭用水的回用所持的态度是赞成的。A.Critical批评的；B.Approving赞成的；C.Central中心的；D.Indifferent冷淡的。故选B。
（5）标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了在世界降雨量少的地区要如何节约和更好地利用家里的水资源，并以澳大利亚农村地区的格洛鲁普郊区没有水供应的房子为例，说明他们的房子是怎样的收集水和利用水的。所以A选项"自己收集水的房子"突出了文章的主旨大意，适合作本文标题。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在世界降雨量少的地区要如何节约和更好地利用家里的水资源，并以澳大利亚农村地区的格洛鲁普郊区没有水供应的房子为例，说明他们的房子是怎样的收集水和利用水的。
阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。
31~35.【答案】C、B、C、B、A
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段中more kids give up early on organized sports by the pressures，financial burdens，or injuries.（由于压力、经济负担或受伤，越来越多的孩子过早地放弃了有组织的运动。）可知，孩子们早早放弃有组织的运动是因为压力、经济负担或者受伤，而奖学金在文中没有被提及。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第四段中A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute and Utah State Families in Sports Lab found that overall youth team sports participation in the US is in decline—just 38 per cent of kids are playing team sports today，down from 45 per cent a decade ago.The average kid is quitting youth sports after less than three years--at age 11.（阿斯彭研究所和犹他州家庭体育实验室进行的一项调查发现，美国青少年团队运动的总体参与率正在下降，目前只有38%的孩子参加团队运动，低于十年前的45%。平均而言，11岁的孩子在不到三年后就退出了青少年运动。）可知，青少年放弃团队运动的平均年龄是11岁左右，并非所有孩子都在11岁左右放弃了团队运动，选项A与文章内容不符，故排除；整个美国的青少年团队运动参与率都下降了，而不是在美国的部分地方，C项与文章内容不符，故排除；青少年团队运动参与率在过去十年间从45%下降到38%，而不是下降了45%，排除D项。故选B。
（3）词义猜测题。根据画线句下文Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything.（玩游戏，但要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识。优先考虑包容和自由发挥。不要让孩子专注于一项运动。让他们玩所有的游戏。）可知，Farrey认为解决办法是让孩子们减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识，鼓励孩子们尝试各种运动。由此推断，turning down the volume此处的意思是"减少不惜一切代价去赢的竞争意识"；A.Parents should reduce the expenses invested in sports.家长应该减少在体育运动上的投入；B.The youth should pay more attention to school work rather than sports.年轻人应该更多地关注学业，而不是体育运动；C.Parents should encourage their kids to treat the results of game lightly.父母应该鼓励孩子对比赛结果等闲视之；D.Colleges should rule out athletic scores or awards as a standard of scholarship.大学应该排除将体育成绩或奖项作为奖学金标准的可能性。选项C与划线部分意思接近，故选C。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段"The game-changers in all of this are parents，"says Farrey."They think they understand what athletic development looks like but they don't know about the value of free play in developing creativity.They don't fully appreciate the value of playing multiple sports."（"这一切的游戏规则改变者都是父母，"法利说。"他们认为自己理解运动发展是什么样子的，但他们不知道自由发挥在培养创造力方面的价值。他们没有充分意识到参加多种运动的价值。"）可推知，Tom Farrey认为，一些家长对于运动的狂热导致了恶性竞争。故选B。
（5）文章出处题。阅读全文，并根据文章第一句Youth sports in America needs a reset.（美国的青少年体育运动需要重新调整。）以及最后一段中The solution，Farrey thinks，is turning down the volume.Play the games，but cool the win-at-all-costs competitiveness.Prioritize inclusion and free play.Don't make kids specialize on one sport.Let them play everything.（Farrey认为，解决办法是"降低音量"。玩游戏，但要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识。优先考虑包容和自由发挥。不要让孩子专注于一项运动。让他们玩所有的游戏。）可知，本文主要谈论的是美国青少年的体育运动需要重新调整，要减少不惜一切代价赢得竞争的意识，让孩子们去尝试各种运动。由此推断，该文章有可能出现在一本体育杂志上。故选A。
