Passage 1(第11–15题)

Emily was crying by the time the softball game ended. It wasn’t because her team had lost. It wasn’t because she was unhappy about her own playing. It wasn’t even because of anything the other team had said or done. Emily’s tears came after her dad yelled at her—in front of all her teammates—for missing the fly ball that could have saved the game. Emily is just 8 years old.
If your child has ever participated in a sport, you’ve undoubtedly met people like Emily’s dad, parents who behave inappropriately and upset their kids. These parents get so wrapped up in winning and losing or how well their own kids perform that they lose sight of what’s really important. They forget that one of the most important goals of kids’ sports is to promote a sense of good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship is when teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials treat each other with respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches.

Passage 2(第16–20题)

Two stupid farmers had a mule that worked very hard. The only problem was every time they went to put the mule back in his stall, his ears would brush the top of the entrance and then the old mule would go nuts and kick everything. One day, the farmers decided to cut an opening in the top to prevent this from happening. While they were working, a neighbor stopped by and asked what they were doing, so they explained the problem. The neighbor suggested that they could save a lot of work and time if they simply dug the entrance down a little bit. The farmers thanked their neighbor and he drove off. Then one of them said to the other, “what a stupid neighbor we have, it’s not his feet that are too long, it’s his ears!”

Passage 3(第21–25题)
A young monk goes fishing with two other much older and experienced monks. While out in the boat, one of the older monks realizes he has forgotten his favorite hook, gets out of the boat, walks across the water, and returns shortly with his hook. The young monk is shocked at this sight. A short while later the other monk needs to take back a fishing cork he has dropped into the lake. He gets out of the boat, walks across the water about 15 feet, picks up the cork, and returns to the boat. The young monk is wide eyed at this miracle, knowing fully well that what he thought impossible can be done. Time passes and the young monk makes up an excuse to go ashore so he steps out of the boat, sinks over his head in the very cold water, and comes to the surface. He asks the two old monks, “How did you do that? Walking on water.” The second monk replied, “It is easy if you know where the rocks are.”

Passage 4(第26–30题)
The story of Forrest Gump seems to be playing out in real life in a fishing village in Zhejiang Province. Chen Penbin, a young Chinese man from the village, has now completed ultra marathons (超级马拉松) on all seven continents and won a gold medal in the Antarctic Ice Marathon.
This 36-year-old with only a primary school education is the character in the real-life legend of his transformation (转变) from a fisherman to an extreme marathon athlete.
Chen was born on an isolated island where villagers only connection with the external world was the town on the opposite bank. Understanding his destiny, Chen joined his brother in the fishing boat when he was 13.
After having worked nine years as a fisherman, Chen lost interest in the job and sold his boat despite strong opposition from his father. Chen sought another job in a factory and developed the hobby of jogging between his home and the factory, a 10-kilometer round trip, every day.
Many a time, this lone shirtless runner on the road drew looks of surprise from passers-by who thought Chen must be “mad.” However, Chen believed he had a special talent for running.
“I called some companies more than 100 times to see if any of them could sponsor (赞助) me, but not a single company was even willing to think about it,” Chen recalled. However, his persistence (毅力) eventually paid off when the boss of Supor, one of the biggest cookware (厨房用具) suppliers in China, heard his story and supported Chen’s participation in contests and helped him for all his costs. Therefore, whenever he appears in contests these days, he sticks a Supor label next to his official sponsors logos on his sportswear.
The Antarctic Ice Marathon, which drew only six competitors this year, is one of the hardest races Chen has ever run. With temperatures slipping below negative 30 degrees Celsius, the athletes were freezing as they raced to their destination. However, despite the severe weather conditions, Chen persisted, finishing the race in 13 hours, 57minutes and 46 seconds, taking first place. He met an amazing life goal by completing ultra marathons on seven continents in the span of four years and five months.
