RIO DE JANEIRO - China claimed its first cycling Olympic gold after Gong Jinjie and Zhong Tianshi won the women's team sprint in the Rio Olympic Velodrome（自行车赛车场） on Friday.

The Chinese due beat Daria Shmeleva and Anastasiia Voinova of Russia in the final to take the gold, while the bronze went to Germany who defeated Australia. Gong Jinjie and Zhong Tianshi set a new world record of 31.928 seconds in the first round after breaking an Olympic record in the qualifying round. Gong and Zhong's achievement is inseparable from their French coach Benoit Vetu's training.

"I moved my family to China for this job. It's to achieve this dream that I have stayed in the cycling training base. It was a hard decision, but it worth it. I have no regrets now," Vetu told chinadaily.com.cn.

Under Benoit Vetu's coaching, Gong and Zhong won in their debut at the Incheon Asian Games after teaming up in 2014. And at the 2015 UCI World Track Cycling Championships, they won the gold by breaking the world record.

As they improved continually in their races, their trust into Vetu also increased."We trust each other, and there are no problems in our cooperation. We admire him, and he feels the same way about us. He understands us, is familiar with our emotions and when to encourage us," Gong told chinadaily.com.cn about their coach after the race.

21. The text is mainly talks about________.

1. China wins first cycling Olympic gold, owes glory to French coach
2. Winner’s thought on cycling Olympic game
3. Cycling Championships won the gold in 2015
4. Succeeding in the game as trusting each other

22. Who won the silver medal in the Rio Olympic Velodrome?

1. Gong Jinjie and Zhong Tianshi B. Daria Shmeleva and Anastasiia Voinova

C. Benoit Vetu D. Germany player

23. The passage is likely take from_________.

1. newspaper B. magazine
   C. website D. drama

Are you a team player?

We hear a lot about team building these days. Team-building gurus are hired by some corporations to lecture us on how to work more effectively with each other. And they organize awaydays(息工日) - a time employees spend together away from their usual workplace.

Here in the UK, employees can take part in activities such as Zombie boot camps where military instructors train you how to fight walking 'dead people'. For the brainier office workers amongst us there are crime investigations modelled on popular TV dramas like Sherlock Holmes and CSI.

Stressed-out city workers might have ukulele lessons made available to them. Why is that a good team-building exercise? Ukulele teacher Lorraine Bow says:"The fact that they can play a musical instrument within an hour is quite a fulfilling thing, really. It's not competitive – it's quite easy to do and a bit less intimidating than a guitar…"

Actually, a horse might be a bit more intimidating than an instrument. The animals are used by a company in Abu Dhabi which teaches leadership through horse training. Basically, you have to go in a yard with a horse and persuade it that you're the boss by using body language.

Kelly Eide, co-founder of True Leadership, says:"The horses don't care if your hair is purple, if you're a man or a woman, if you're old or young... It transcends all of those cultural boundaries – age, gender, religion, tradition etc. – so that's a perfect fit. And in an organization where you really need groups of people to gel, who come from backgrounds which have no common norms, you can teach that most efficiently with a horse."

And the horse feels instinctively whether or not you are a natural leader. So if after you've done a good presentation your boss offers you a carrot, you'll know where he might have learnt it from.

24. What are awaydays for?

1. To gather employees to join a meeting on how to work more effectively with each other.
2. To building team spirit among people who work for the same company.
3. To criticize employer who have not satisfied outstanding achievement.
4. To teach people how to make term more united.

25. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

1. The one in which you learn to 'kill' Zombies is more physically demanding.
2. Ukulele lessons are designed for people who are highly intelligent.
3. Stressed-out city workers both have ukulele lessons made available to them.
   D. A horse must be a bit more intimidating than an instrument.

26. How long does it take for you to learn how to play the ukulele?

1. One hour B. Two-hour C. 15 minutes D. half hour

27. We can infer that the word "it" (Line 4, Para5) refers to______.

1. invitation B. recreate C. cooperate D. help

(C)

In 1988, a company in Ohio invented an alcohol-based hand cleaner, which was meant to be used by health-care worker; when soap and water were unavailable. Joe Kanfer, the company's C. E. O., told me recently, “there were a couple of other alcohol products out there, but they were really ugly. Either they were greasy (油腻的) or they burned your hands white.” Kanfer took a year and a half to develop this product which is visually appealing and does almost no harm to one's skin. Still. Kanfer lost money on it for more than a decade because people couldn't get what it was for.

    The product was called Purell. Today, you see it everywhere. My doctor uses it several times during every office visit. You can hear it in almost every office in the U. S. and school picnics would be impossible without it. The former president Grorge W.Bush was called a racist for using hand cleaner after first shaking hands with Barack Obama, but Bush also gave some of it to Obama and recommended it as a cold preventative (预防药). What was once barely even a product is now a growing product category, worth hundreds of millions per year.

The rise of Purell makes some health professionals uneasy. Some claimed that promoting hand cleaner may worsen “our culture's irrational (非理性的) fear about bacteria.” Still, the clear agreement among experts is that unclean hands pose a serious health risk, and are one of the main reasons in the spread of infections in hospitals. A 2007 study estimated that, in America in 2002, such infections resulted in more than a million and a half patient illnesses and caused or contributed to nearly a hundred thousand patient deaths - about double the number of U. S.deaths currently caused each year by AIDS and guns combined.

However, I asked a food microbiologist whether clean hands might have a medical drawback. He said, “We might have a much healthier population if we adopted the kinds of condition that we see in many Third World countries, with poor-quality food and poor-quality water and lots of bacteria. If we did that, we would have adults who were very healthy and have very strong immune systems. Unfortunately, the price that we would pay would be extremely high child death rate. ”

28. Why did Joe Kanfer lose money on his product according to Paragraph 1?

1. Because people didn't think it useful.
2. Because people thought it was ugly.
3. Because it was harmful to the skin.

    D. Because it burned the hands white.

29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

1. Purell brings in lots of money for Kanfer.
2. Purell has been widely used in the US.
3. Purell is a cold preventative.
4. Purell meets different needs.

30. What mainly caused patient deaths according to the figures in Paragraph 3?

1. People's fear about bacteria.   B. Hand cleaner.

    C. Bacteria on the dirty hands.    D. AIDS and guns.

31. What can we learn about the people in Third World countries?

1. They adopt healthy living habits.
2. They have poor immune systems.
3. They eat food with fewer bacteria.
4. Their child death rate remains high.
   (D)
   The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to present all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on earth.
         An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if, in his word, “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill（钻孔） deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above 0ºC. The seeds will be protected behind walls a meter thick and high-security door.
        The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below 0ºC. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
     Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s safest gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason. Norway first put forward the idea in the 1980s. But safety concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
   32．The project is meant to ______.
       A．increase the world’s food output in the future 
       B．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes 
       C．build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds 
       D．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
   33．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?
       A．The government of Norway will perform the project alone. 
       B．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago. 
       C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is free of the nuclear war forever. 
       D．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
   34．We can infer from the text that _______.
       A．Norway had meant to build the storage centre about 20 years before.   
   B．The storage center will greatly promote world agriculture 
       C．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year.
       D．There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before.
   35．What is probably the best title of the passage? 
       A．The Best Place to Store Seeds     
       B．Noah’s Ark（诺亚方舟）of Plant Seeds in Plan
       C．Concerns of World Food Supply   
       D．A New Way to Feed the World
   第二节七选五阅读（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
   阅读下列文章，根据短文内容选择匹配选项，有两项为多余项。
   Whether you're a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect you’re your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development.    36    No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.
   ●Respect their belongings.
   One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things.  For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation of personal boundaries.    37    And never borrow things without asking first.
   ●Punctuality .
   38    Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）.Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.
   ●_39    Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.
   ●Be kind.
   Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them.  Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements.    40
   A．Be a good listener.
   B．Celebrate with them.
   C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.
   D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.
5. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.
6. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.
7. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

My husband Jeff and I moved into our new home in Scottsbluff last year just before Christmas. I did not have the 41 or energy to carry out my traditional Christmas decorating and baking activities. What was the point, anyway? It was going to be a 42 Christmas after all.

43, the neighborly nature of west Nebraska residents started to trickle (陆续来临) in.

There was a 44 on the door one evening. It was Jeff’s new colleague, John Smith, and his wife, Phyllis. The Smiths had stopped by to 45 us with a loaf of homemade bread. They pointed out a 46 on the porch (门廊). Apparently the doorbell wasn’t working in the cold snowy weather and we had 47 a visit from the Browns, our across-the-street neighbors, who brought us a Christmas card and more Christmas cookies.

The48 feelings brought by these thoughtful gestures lasted longer than the food.

As Jeff and I were 49 pre-Christmas snow from our driveway, Ernie Guzman came over from next door to 50 us to dig out.

Then, we received an invitation to 51 a Christmas Eve meal with our neighbors, Ernie and Nancy Sommer, and their 52—a 90-year-old lady, who also had no family in the immediate area with whom to spend the holiday.

Our Christmas Eve was quite merry, thanks to our 53. Our Christmas morning 54 was special, thanks to the Smiths’ gift of bread. I was so 55 for these gestures of welcome, especially during the holidays.

This year, we were again unable to be with our families for Christmas. The 56 and work schedules just made things too difficult. 57 that sense of Christmas isolation (孤立) all too well, we decided to try to round up some other folks who were 58 in the holidays.

Lonely people are all around us, but most of us 59 notice them. Just take a look around you. Sometimes, the smallest 60 gesture can make a world of difference.

41. A. chanceB. anxiety C. time D. ability

42. A. lonely B. freeC. merryD. usual

43. A. ThereforeB. However C. Somehow D. Meanwhile

44. A. signB. knockC. card D. note

52. A. guest B. aunt C. maidD. partner

53. A. folks B. relatives C. neighbors D. colleagues

54. A. call B. greeting C. meeting D. breakfast

55. A. sorry B. eager C. gratefulD. ready

56. A. season B. expense C. distance D. situation

57. A. KnowingB. Showing C. Studying D. Discovering

58. A. happy B. busy C. alone D. active

第二节书面表达（满分25分）

One possible version 1:

I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well. Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment. When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities to practice listening and speaking. Therefore, they will be able to learn more quickly.

However, there are also some problems with this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher. Slow learners may even lose interest in English.

Practice makes perfect. To learn English well requires a lot of practice. Therefore, I like my English classes to be taught completely in English.

One possible version 2:

I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English. In my opinion, learning English is a step-by-step process. As middle school students, we only have a small vocabulary. If the teacher can use some Chinese in an English class, we will understand the lesson better.

Of course, an English class taught in two languages has its shortcoming. Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning. Some students may speak Chinese all the time and cannot learn English well.

If you want to learn a lesson well, you have to understand it first. To help students understand the lesson better, the teacher should use Chinese from time to time. Therefore, I like my teacher to use both English and Chinese in teaching.
