His mother is a former champion netballer, his father is a league footballer, and his sister is already ranked number one in Australia for her age in tennis. She has achieved already more in tennis than Lleyton had at the same age.‎ The Hewitts have a grass court at their home. This was where young Lleyton began his tennis career. When Lleyton showed an unusual ability for a 4-year-old and he was hitting balls consistently over the net, his parents decided it was time to find him a coach.‎ ‎“Rather than get into bad habits, it was best he learnt how to hit the ball correctly.” says his father. Two years later, they got Peter Smith as his coach.‎ At the age of five, when most children that age are playing hide and seek or getting into all sorts of trouble, Lleyton and his family would make the trip to Melbourne for the Australian Open. Lleyton would sit for up to 12 hours a day watching players practise.‎ Lleyton’s career as a tennis player was planned by his parents who tried their best to keep him away from football. Lleyton’s parents thought it was too risky to play football since he might get hurt. Had Lleyton played football, it is quite possible he may have ended up playing for his favorite team—the Adelaide Crows. As his mother says, “I guess we’ve guided him into things we felt good for him before he did.”‎ By the time Lleyton was eight, he was winning “under-10 games” and always won a year ahead of his age. A professional career was looking very promising. Lleyton officially turned pro in 1997.‎ 21. Why does Lleyton’s parents disapprove of him playing football? A. They want him to learn from his sister.‎ B. They think playing football is dangerous.‎ C. They think tennis is more potential.‎ D. They can’t afford a coach.‎ 22. From the passage, we know “the Adelaide Crows” is______.‎ A. a basketball team B. a football ‎ team C. a university D. a company 21. We can infer from the passage that______‎ A. Lleyton’s parents decide everything for their son.‎ B. Lleyton’s sister is more famous than him C. Lleyton showed a talent for football at a very young age.‎ D. Lleyton works very hard to achieve his dream.‎ 22. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. A sports family B. A wise decision C. A tennis star D. A promising career.‎ B From VOA learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.‎ Next time you make yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee, you might want to let it cool down a bit before drinking.‎ Researchers say letting your hot drinks cool off could help you avoid some kinds of cancer.‎ In fact, the United Nations' cancer research agency decided to list hot drinks with lead, gasoline and exhaust fumes as ‎“possibly carcinogenic.” In other words, each one could cause cancer.‎ Researchers at IARC(The International Agency for Research on Cancer) found evidence that drinks at temperatures above 65 degrees Celsius, when swallowed, can cause cancer of the esophagus(食管).‎ In developed countries, health experts have linked esophageal cancer to smoking and alcoholic drinks. However, researchers said “this form of cancer is more common in areas where people drink beverages at very high temperatures.”‎ In Europe and the United States, many people drink coffee and tea at temperatures around 60 degrees Celsius. And they often add milk which lowers the temperature considerably.‎ The findings, however, are good news for coffee drinkers.‎ In 1991, the World Health Organization listed coffee as “possibly carcinogenic.” WHO officials have since changed their position on that listing. They now suggest that the temperature of your hot drink is a greater risk factor than the actual drink itself.‎ Christopher Wild is the director of the IARC. When he spoke with the AFP news agency, he said the results “suggest that drinking very hot beverages is one probable cause of esophageal cancer and that it is the temperature, rather than the drinks themselves, that appears to be responsible.”‎ But how common is esophageal cancer? Worldwide, it is the eighth most common cancer. Cancer of the esophagus killed about 400,000 people in 2012.‎ I’m Anna Matteo.‎ 25. The passage is probably taken from____ A. A health magazine B. A scientific research ‎ C. A news report D. A school text.‎ 25. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the possible cause of cancer?‎ A. Lead B. Petrol C. Exhaust fumes D. Drinks.‎ 26. The new research tells us_____‎ A. Drinking coffee may cause cancer.‎ B. Smoking and alcoholic drinks are related with esophageal cancer.‎ C. Esophageal cancer is the most common cancer.‎ D. Hot drinks have something to do with esophageal cancer.‎ 27. The relationship between “coffee” and “beverages” is just like_____‎ A. Rose and flowers B. Tea and milk C. Fish and water C. Cancer and doctor C An 18-year-old girl from Austria is taking her parents to court for posting over 500 photos of her on Facebook since ‎2009, without her permission.‎ Anna Meier has apparently become fed up with her parents refusal to take down intimate and embarrassing photos of her dating back to when she was a toddler, and is now seeking justice in court.‎ She said that when she was 11 years old, her parents started sharing photos of her with several hundreds of Facebook friends, without ever asking if it was alright with her. “They didn’t care whether it was a picture of me sitting on the toilet or lying naked in my cot – every stage was photographed and then made public,” she said. The girl added that she was only able to see the photos posted on Facebook by her parents when she was 14, after setting up her own account on the world’s most popular social network. Angry and upset, Anna asked her mother and father to remove the over 500 photos of her immediately, but they refused. She kept asking them over the years, but faced with constant refusal, she felt that she had no other way to coerce them than taking them to court. Which she did as soon as she turned 18, this year.‎ Although Anna is convinced that her right to privacy has been violated, her parents, on the other hand, see nothing wrong with posting baby photos of her. However, a German law firm advises parents not to post photos of children on Facebook without their consent. Apart from legal consequences and subsequent compensation, they also risk making their children-especially those of school age-targets for cyber-bullying(网络暴力).‎ 29. What does the underlined word “intimate”(in Paragraph 2) mean?‎ A. close B. shameful C. private D. ugly 30. In which year was Anna able to see the photos posted by her parents?‎ A. ‎1998 B. 2002‎ ‎ C. 2009 D. 2012‎ 29. Why are take her parents to court?‎ A. The photos her parents posted were embarrassing B. Her parents refused to remove the photos of her.‎ C. She became fed up with her parents D. She wanted her parents to be punished 30. What does the German law firm advises parents to do?‎ A. Protect children from cyber-bullying B. Never post photos of children C. Post photos of children with their permission D. Always take children seriously D A study led by child psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson suggests that children aged between 7 and 14 experienced twice the cognitive processing speed(认知处理速度) and performed better in testing after watching 20 minutes of a 3D film.‎ This is despite suggestions that attention spans in children have shortened in the last decade due to unlimited to access to entertainment, including on-demand TV, gaming and social media.‎ A 2015 study claimed that watching 3D content had a similar effect to brain-training exercises. Consumer psychologist Mr Fagan said that the increased stimulation found in watching something in 3D "exercised" the brain and improved performance in the short term. "3D films can play the role of 'brain-training' games and help to make children 'smarter' in the short term," he said. "The shortening of response times after watching 3D was almost three times as big as that gained from watching 2D; in other words, 3D helps children process aspects of their environment more quickly. This is likely to be because 3D is a mentally stimulating experience which 'gets the brain's juices flowing'."‎ The experiment saw children given a range of cognitive tests before watching 20 minutes of a movie in either 2D or 3D and being tested again. The results showed those who saw the 3D content reacted faster and performed better in the second round of testing. Mental engagement also rose by 13% among 3D watchers.‎ Child psychologist Dr Woolfson added that "supportive parenting" and regularly listening to classical music can also aid a child's memory. "Children now expect to flit(转换) from activity to activity in a matter of seconds, leaving them struggling when they need to concentrate for longer, for instance, during a classroom learning experience." he said.‎ 31. According to Mr. Fagan, why can 3D movies help to make children smarter’ ?‎ A. Their content is better than that of 2D B. They have a similar effect to brain-training exercise.‎ C. They can help children react faster and perform better.‎ A. They can process aspects of the environment quickly.‎ 30. Which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. All children performed better after watching a 3D film B. The children experimented on were tested at least twice.‎ C. Dr Woolfson said children now have trouble concentrating for long.‎ D. Unlimited access to entertainment has shortened attention spans in children.‎ 31. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. How watching 3D movies exercises the brain.‎ B. Watching 3D movies is not good for attention spans in children C. A study suggests that 3D movies can help to make children smarter.‎ D. A study claimed that compared with 2D, watching 3D content is better.‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Things I Wish I’d Known in High School Sometimes high school seems like a necessary evil, Now at the end of my college , I know there are still more things I could have done to make my high school more beneficial.‎ ‎ 36 Take a class that scares you during high school.
