【題目】Super Bowl Weekend has just ended, and I was very excited for the big game. But I’m not just a fan of the game: I’m a 13-year-old and offensive guard. I just finished playing my eighth and final season.

During the last two years, they’ve created Title IX regulations that forbid girls from playing contact sports due to safely and “touching” concerns. They claim to be acting in the best interests of young people.

During the 2015 season, the Archdiocese(大主教轄區(qū)) announced that it would be my last season because of a rule that girls were not permitted to play football in the league. Right away, I knew I needed to change this rule for not just myself, but for all girls.

So I started a change.org petition(請愿書) that received more than 108,000 signatures!I told my story on national news networks and shows. And in March 2016, the Archbishop changed the rule to make CYO football coed(男女混合的) in Philadelphia.

But in July 2016, the bishops(主教) changed their decision and made football once again for boys only. They let me in for my eighth-grade season, but shut down the opportunity of any other girl to play. I could have walked away, but I knew that I had to stay and fight this rule again for girls who want to play football. I started another petition. No girl should be banned from a game she loves.

I hope that you join me in my effort to call on the bishops of Pennsylvania to permit young people like me to learn and grow together, not separately. You can sign my petition at change.org/girl in football.

【1】Why did the author decide to start the first change.org petition?

A. Because she finished her final season.

B. Because she watched Super Bowl Weekend.

C. Because she was banned from the league in 2016.

D. Because she learned a lot about Title IX regulations.

【2】What can we learn about the author?

A. She is smart. B. She is selfless.

C. She is generous. D. She is offensive.

【3】What is the real purpose of writing the text?

A. To complain the policy is unfair.

B. To express her passion for football.

C. To introduce her change.org petition.

D. To appeal to people to join her in the fight.

【4】Where can others sign their names?

A. On the website. B. In the league.

C. On the papers. D. In the letters.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】本文作者是一位足球隊的后衛(wèi)，但是由于大主教轄區(qū)宣布禁止女孩在聯(lián)盟隊踢足球的規(guī)則而面臨禁賽。為了所有女孩能參加比賽的權(quán)利，作者號召大家為請愿書簽名。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段During the 2015 season, the Archdiocese(大主教轄區(qū)) announced that it would be my last season because of a rule that girls were not permitted to play football in the league. Right away, I knew I needed to change this rule for not just myself, but for all girls. So I started a change.org petition(請愿書)可知,“我”因為不滿禁止女孩在聯(lián)盟隊踢足球的規(guī)則而寫了請愿書。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Right away, I knew I needed to change this rule for not just myself, but for all girls.可知，從作者發(fā)起為請愿書簽名的活動可知，作者是一個無私的人。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段I hope that you join me in my effort to call on the bishops of Pennsylvania to permit young people like me to learn and grow together, not separately. You can sign my petition at change.org/girl in football.可知，通過本文作者號召大家加入到她的請愿隊伍中來。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段You can sign my petition at change.org/girl in football.可知，要想簽字也可以登錄網(wǎng)站change.org。故選A。

Letter One
Dear Editor,
After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends. Sometimes I play Internet games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm children. Once I went to a net bar to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.
Li Ping, Nantong
Letter Two
Dear Li Ping,
I think it's not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don't want their children to play computer games.
Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It's never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.
Good luck,
Rebecca

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer form it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely are doing nothing either.
Paralyzed (使失去活力) by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell (魔咒).
According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world's population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don't delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is non sense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent（過失的） in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.
Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.
（1）Which behavior belongs to procrastination?
A.Never dream away the time.
B.Always complete the tasks ahead of time.
C.Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today.
D.Always wait to work until the “good mood” or “good time”.
（2）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Procrastination makes people waste their time.
B.Speedy action is considered as a moral standard in the society.
C.procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly.
D.Procrastination is common among people.
（3）What is most likely to be discuss ed in the paragraph that follows?
A.Ways to handle the study pressures.
B.Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation.
C.More examples to illustrate procrastination
D.Measures to deal with procrastination.
