“YOU’RE too small, Ginny, you’ll never make an Olympic team,”said my first-ever rowing （赛艇） coach, way back in the late winterof 1978. I had just 36 my dream. It was sure too big at thatpoint to somebody whose 37 not only mattered, but whoseemotional support could play a key role.
Then I was just 20, and still a(n) 38 athlete. Maybe mydream wasn’t based on reality. After all, I had tried out for thenational team for the first time the previous year and been__39 . I lacked the height that most Olympic rowers possess,not to 40 much experience as an athlete, and I suffered fromasthma, but still, I was shocked by my coach’s response.41__ not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty,I left the gym in a panic.
As I walked, I began to rethink my future, making room for mycoach’s opinion, setting 42 my dream. A small inner voicehad joined forces with the coach’s. “Maybe he’s 43 .”
But then, another voice 44 . “What does he know? Why doeshe get to decide?” That my own coach didn’t have faith in me didn’tmean I had to give up on myself so quickly. By the time I arrivedback at my apartment, I was 45 my coach. And my 46was back on center stage.

All the effort was worth it. Everything I have today is a resultof 52 that dream, all those hours on the water and in thestadium. They got me here, 53 I know now that big ambitionsneed not just time to develop, but firm 54 in them. If I’mnot going to be my own 55_ for my dreams, no one else will.And I will not allow anyone else to decide for me what’spossible.

In a historic moment on June 26, the US Supreme Court ruled thatsame-sex marriage is a legal right across all 50 states. TheSupreme Court justices ruled states cannot deny gay men and womenthe same marriage rights. The decision means the 13 states withbans on same-sex marriage are no longer able to enforce them.
Same-sex couples “ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law”.Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion: “TheConstitution grants them that right.”
The decision came after decades of litigation（诉讼） and activism.It set off celebrations across the US. In affected states includingGeorgia, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, same-sex couples rushed to wed,while officials in Mississippi and Louisiana said marriages had towait until procedural issues were addressed, reported the BBC.
According to “The New York Times”, the ruling came against thebackdrop of fast-moving changes in public opinion in the US, withpolls indicating that most Americans now approve of same-sexmarriage.
US President Barack Obama welcomed the ruling, saying it“affirms what millions of Americans already believe in theirhearts.” “Today,” he said in a press release, “we can say, in nouncertain terms, that we have made our union a little moreperfect.”
Another win.
This was the second time the Supreme Court took up same-sexmarriage, according to an article in “Business Insider”. The firsttime, in June 2013, the court made a decision that allowed the USfederal government to recognize same-sex marriages in states wherethey were already legal.
But at that time, the Supreme Court declined to rule on thebroader question about gay marriage: Is there a constitutional（宪法的）right to same-sex marriage? The June 26 ruling gave a positiveanswer to that question.
Justice Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion that theConstitution should evolve with societal changes.
“The nature of injustice is that we may not always see it inour own times,” he wrote. “The generations that wrote andratified the “Bill of Rights” and the “Fourteenth Amendment（修正案）”did not exactly know the extent of freedom in all of itsdimensions, and so they hoped the future generations can protectthe right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn itsmeaning.”
The Fourteenth Amendment addresses citizenship rights and equalprotection of the law. In the June 26 ruling, the Supreme Courtdeclared that the equal protection clause of the amendment
requires marriage rights be extended to same-sex couples,too.
58. According to the passage, which of the following istrue?
A. The majority of Americans now object to same-sexmarriage.
B. Gay men and women did not care about the ruling.
C. All the US states did not ban same-sex marriage before theruling.
D. The US president believes the country will be less perfectafter the ruling.
59. It can be inferred that ________.
A. before June 26, most Americans have doubt about same-sexmarriage.
B. this is the first time the Americans have got the same-sexmarriage right.
C. thanks to the amendment, all the Same-sex couples can getmarried immediately.
D. Americans struggled for decades to win the same-sexright.
60. Why does the author refer to Justice Kennedy’s “ the natureof injustice is that we may not always see it in our own times”?
A. The author thinks that it is unfair for same-sex marriage notto have the marriage right.
B. The author wants to show that it is difficult for same-sexmarriage couple to get the right.
C. The author thinks that in our own times we can not see thejustice.
D. The author shows his dissatisfaction with the delayedapproval of the legal same-sex
marriage.

If you could change your child’s DNA in the future to protectthem against diseases, would you? It could be possible because oftechnology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR.
CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designedto work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that cantake unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to TheEconomist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will doit very simply, quickly, and exactly.
The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed foreverything from Alzheimer’s to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctorsto put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient’s immunesystem, the technology could help greatly.
In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR toedit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos wouldnever turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had evertried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US’National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions aboutCRISPR’s ethics (伦理问题).
For example, CRISPR doesn’t work properly yet. As well ascutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. Inaddition, we currently seem to have too little understanding ofwhat DNA gives people what qualities.
There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course,medicine already stops natural things from happening —— forexample, it saves people from infections. The opportunities totreat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn’t keep going.
A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit humangerm-line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on tochildren. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in manyothers. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, theycan also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society todecide when and where editing the genome is wrong.
Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean thatparents make choices that are not obviously in the best interestsof their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to bedeaf too; parents might want to make their children moreintelligent at all costs.”
In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can andcan’t do with CRISPR. “It’s still a huge mystery how we work,”Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prizewinner, told The Boston Globe. “We’re just trying to figure outthis amazingly complicated thing we call life.”
61. What is the article mainly about?
A. How CRISPR was developed by scientists.
B. What we can and can’t do with CRISPR.
C. Chinese scientists’ experiment of using CRISPR to edit humanembryos.
D. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics.
62. According to the article, the technology of CRISPR________.
A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is lookingfor
B. is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many others
C. could cause parents to make unwise choices for theirchildren
D. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualitiesit gives people
63. It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR________.
A. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIV
B. allows scientists to edit genomes for the first time
C. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA andDNA
D. has proven to be the most effective way to protect childrenagainst diseases
64. What is the author’s attitude toward CRISPR?
A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Negative. D. Objective.
D
My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be inAmerica. America was where all my mother’s hopes lay. She had comehere in 1949 after losing everything in China. But she never lookedback with regret. There were so many ways for things to getbetter.
“Of course you can be a prodigy, too,” my mothertold me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didn’timmediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my motherthought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We’d watch Shirley’sold movies on TV as though they were training films. My motherwould poke my arm and say, “Ni kan” — You watch. And I would seeShirley tapping her feet, or singing a sailor song, or pursing herlips into a very round O while saying, “Oh my goodness.”
Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, shetook me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of astudent who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Insteadof getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinklyblack fuzz. My mother dragged me off to the bathroom and tried towet down my hair.
“You look like Negro Chinese,” she lamented, as if I had donethis on purpose.
In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother,maybe even more so. I pictured this prodigy part of me as manydifferent images, trying each one on for size. I was a daintyballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the rightmusic that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderellastepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon musicfilling the air.
In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I wouldsoon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I wouldbe beyond reproach. I would never feel the need to sulk foranything.
But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. “If you don’thurry up and get me out of here, I’m disappearing for good,” itwarned. “And then you’ll always be nothing.”
Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at theFormica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking herexamples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozenother magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother gotthese magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. She wouldlook through them all, searching for stories about remarkablechildren.
The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-oldboy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of theEuropean countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boycould also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.
“What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking atthe magazine story.
All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento wasthe name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” Iguessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. Shechecked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce“Helsinki” before showing me the answer.
The tests got harder—multiplying numbers in my head, finding thequeen of hearts in a deck of cards, trying to stand on my headwithout using my hands, predicting the daily temperatures in LosAngeles, New York, and London.
And after seeing my mother’s disappointed face once again,something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raisedhopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, Ilooked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back—andthat it would always be this ordinary face—I began to cry. Such asad, ugly girl! I made high pitched noises like a crazed animal,trying to scratch out the face in the mirror.
And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me—becauseI had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection,blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at mewas angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had newthoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots ofwon’ts. I won’t let her change me, I promised myself. I won’t bewhat I’m not.
65. The underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 2 is closest inmeaning to ________.
A. talent B. professor C. leader D. superstar
66. Why did the mother and the girl watch Shirley’s old movieson TV?
A. Because the mother was a fan of Shirley Temple.
B. Because Shirley Temple’s hairstyle was very popular amongchildren.
C. Because the girl resembled Shirley Temple in appearance.
D. Because the mother wanted her daughter to be a ChineseShirley Temple.
67. How did the girl feel about the tests she did everynight?
A. She felt confident and finished it smoothly.
B. She got through the tests painfully.
C. She failed the tests and began to lose confidence.
D. She eventually sadly found herself ordinary and ugly.
68. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 13 mean?
A. The mother was not sure about the answer and wanted toconfirm it.
B. The mother expected her daughter to know the rightanswer.
C. The answers were more than one and the mother checkedthem.
D. The mother was disappointed and gave up her daughter.
69. What might happen after the last paragraph?
A. The girl might try her best to become famous andsuccessful.
B. The girl might do what she really likes.
C. The girl might do whatever her mother asks and becomes adifferent image.
D. The mother might change her attitude and listen to herdaughter’s words.

If your determination for the new year is typical, it probablyincludes a commitment to lose weight. But if you are like mostAmericans, any success you have cutting pounds will be short-lived,and you’ll end the year weighing more than you do right now.
So why are Americans addicted to weight loss? Many people saythey want to lose weight to improve their health, but this may notactually be their primary motivation. In one of the moreinteresting surveys I’ve seen, more than three-fourths of the 231dieters surveyed said that they would take a pill that wouldguarantee they would achieve or maintain their desired weight evenif it would lower their life expectancy. On average, they werewilling to give up 5.7 years.
These findings may seem puzzling, but they are not so surprisingwhen you consider weight-loss attempts for what they really are:efforts to protect against weight-based discrimination.
Yale researchers have shown that weight discrimination in the UShas increased dramatically in the last decade and is now comparablein prevalence (普遍) to rates of reported racial discrimination,especially among women.
Multiple studies have documented weight prejudice in employment,healthcare, education and public spaces – unequal treatment basedon stereotyping (模式化) fat people as lazy, unmotivated, sloppy andlacking in self-control and competence.
When I was doing research for a book on the social understandingof fat, several heavy women told me they were often blamed foreating in public. Some tearfully shared stories of having hadpeople actually throw food at them. Heavy women are routinelyteased in advertisements, television and film.
Of course, there are genuine health risks associated with higherbody mass. The clearest case is that of Type 2 diabetes, whichbecomes more likely as weight goes up.
It is clear that anti-fat prejudice in and of itself has a badeffect on public health in ways many may not suspect.
Fear of tease leads many heavier women to avoid exercising inpublic or even – when they are very heavy – to avoid leaving theirhomes, taking away social interaction from them. And the fear ofbecoming fat can lead women of all sizes to develop eatingdisorders that can reduce their lives and be dangerous to theirhealth.
What should be done about weight-based discrimination? Theanswer is to call for increasing tolerance and appreciation ofdiverse body types.
This year, before setting about another diet, ask yourself whyyou want to lose weight. If it is to improve your health, perhapsyou should focus on health-increasing behaviors that are moredirectly linked to health: swear, for example, to get more sleep,eat more fruits and vegetables, get regular physical activity, orspend more time with friends.
But if you are trying to change your body to protect againstdiscrimination and shame, consider making a different kind of newyear’s determination: to stand up to intolerance and prejudice inall its various forms.

The recent few years has seen a rise in the number of seniorhigh school students “advised” to remain in their classrooms atnoon, doing lessons and then napping (小睡) at their desks. In someparts of Jiangsu Province, such practice has become a routine oncampus since the Five Strict Stipulations was conducted.
17-year-old Zheng Gang responded to the Teens (21st Century) asfollows. “I used to be crazy about mobile games. Whenever I wasalone, I would swipe on my smart phone for games. Now, however,things have changed for I have to stay in my classroom where theuse of electronic devices is prohibited. And I find myself improvedacademically.”
In contrast, Xue Pinting, a senior 3 student from Jinkou SeniorHigh School, Zhenjiang, described her routine as a day-longtorture. “I can’t imagine my senior school life being so boring.Each day is burdened with endless school work. I couldn’t enjoy asecond for rest with all my classmates around me. It seems as if Iwere in prison. ”
In a survey regarding how the parents respond to the trend, 67%of the respondents hold that they stand up for the practice andthey give various reasons spontaneously.
Zhao Yuntian, director of NanjingSchool Health Centre, told China Daily that he is strongly opposedto the operation. “ Fitness is the first priority in schooleducation. School administrators and teachers can’t get theso-called achievements at the cost of students’ health. When itcomes to learning, what counts is how efficiently a student canlearn rather than how long he or she sits at the desk.”

The company says that its S-512 SupersonicBusiness Jet can fly from New York to London in just 3 hours. Theyclaim that the jet can reach a maximum speed of 1370 miles perhour, which is 1.8 times faster than the speed of sound. Now,passengers might be able to fly all over the world for a simple daytrip and still be back home by bedtime! Although it was firstintroduced in a 2013 research paper, the plane has undergone someimportant changes that have made its actual production possible.The newly designed “delta” wings are how the plane is able totravel so fast, (19) as their shape makes the jetlighter and better able to cut through pockets of warm air. Theinside of the plane is called the “Multiplex Cabin”, and instead ofwindows for passengers to look out of, small cameras show images onthin screens on the wall. This means you can watch whatever youwant, whenever you want! Not just anyone will be able to fly onthe S-512, though, as it will likely cost around $80 million for asingle round trip. (20) Spike Aerospace isset to start offering its service to the public in December of2018.
