Brought to the United States by his parents at the age of five, he grew up in Chicago.‎ After graduating from high school, Rockne worked at various jobs until he had enough money to go to Notre Dame University in South Bend, Indiana. Though only 5-foot-8 tall and 145 pounds, Rockne was a star player on Notre Dame's football team. During his years on the team, Notre Dame never lost a football game.‎ After graduating in 1914, Rockne remained at Notre Dame as a chemistry instructor and assistant football coach. Four years later, he became the football team's head coach.‎ Rockne's success in developing winning Notre Dame teams was unmatched. He taught his players how to work together in perfect harmony（和谐）. They were experts at forward passing and shift plays. Rockne was the best-known college football coach of his time. During his 13 years as head coach, his teams were always winners.‎ Known for his inspiring talks, Rockne also taught his players good behaviour and attitudes to show respect for the game rules and other players. He was respected by opponents（对手）, and his own players made him an hero.‎ On March 31, 1931, Rockne was killed in a plane crash. People were sorrowful at his death. Ten thousand fans crowded into a Chicago train station just to see the train carrying his casket (骨灰盒)back to South Bend. They wanted to pay their respect to a man who did so much for the game of football.‎ ‎24. Why did Rockne stop his study after graduating from high school?‎ A. He lacked money . ‎ B.

The population of the UK is about 63,000,000.‎ Latest researches from Cancer Research UK show smoking is the biggest avoidable risk factor (因素), followed by unhealthy diets. The charity advises people to live healthily, limit alcohol intake（酒精摄入） and do regular exercise.‎ According to the research from 2007 to 2011, more than 300,000 cases of cancer recorded were linked to smoking. A further 145,000 were linked to unhealthy diets containing too much processed (加工的) food. Obesity (肥胖) contributed to 88,000 cases and alcohol to 62,200. Sun damage to the skin and physical inactivity were also contributing factors.‎ Professor Max Parkin, a Cancer researcher, says, “There’s now little doubt that certain lifestyle choices can have a big influence on cancer risk, with research around the world all pointing to the same key risk factors.‎ ‎“Of course everyone wants to enjoy some extra treats during the Christmas holiday so we don’t have to stop eating beef pies and drinking wine but it’s a good ‎ time to think about taking up some healthy habits for 2015.‎ ‎“Leading a healthy lifestyle can’t promise that someone won’t get cancer but we can stack the odds in our favor by taking positive steps.”‎ Public Health England says a healthy lifestyle can play an important role in reducing cancer risk. It says campaigns such as Smokefree, Dry January and Change4Life Sugar Swaps all aim to raise public awareness (意识). It’s important that we continue to make progress in noticing cancer earlier and improving treatments, but helping people understand how they can reduce their risk of developing cancer in the first place remains important in dealing with cancer.‎ ‎28. According to Professor Max Parkin, .‎ A. it’s OK to drink wine during festivals B. the causes of cancer are still unclear now C. people should stop having unhealthy food completely D. a healthy life style will protect us from cancer ‎29. By saying the underlined words in Paragraph6, Professor Max Parkin means we can .‎ A. help others[Z-X-X-K]‎ B. improve our lives C. discover cancer early D. decrease our cancer risk ‎30. What’s the main idea of the text?‎ A. Most cancers are caused by smoking.‎ B. Cancer is greatly linked to our lifestyle.‎ C. There are different factors that lead to cancer.‎ D. Public awareness should be raised to prevent cancer.‎ D Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.‎ We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.‎ Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.‎ Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.‎ Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.‎ When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.‎ One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.‎ An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.‎ Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.‎ ‎31. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .‎ A. delay tasks B. work hard C. seek help D. accept failure ‎32. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?‎ A. Writing essays in strict order.‎ B. Building up physical strength.‎ C. Leaving out the toughest ideas.‎ D. Dealing with the hardest task first.‎ ‎33. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?‎ A. Before starting a difficult task.‎ B. When all the solutions fail.‎ C. If the job is rather boring.‎ D. After finding a way out.‎ ‎34. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .‎ A. ignore mental problems B. get some nice sleep C. gain complete relief D. find the right solution ‎35. What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Success Is Built upon Failure B. How to Handle Performance Fatigue C. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems 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。‎ How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.

Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read.‎ ‎● _____37_______ ‎ If the plot, characters, or word usage is confusing for you, likely won’t be able to remember what you read.
