12、ostly outside at the mercy of ice or snow, involving (牵涉) metal edges, extreme speeds and crashes. Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israels first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.Edelma
13、n was the 10th athlete named to the 2018 Israeli Olympic Team. Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is impressive. But its more impressive if you qualify for the Olympics after only four years in the sport and without a coach.Edelman was first introduced to skeleton watching the game on televisi
14、on in late 2013. Sports have always been a part of his life. He grew up playing football and was a goalkeeper on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology football team. Ready for a new challenge, he set his sights on the Olympics.Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours o
15、f YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody else on the track. “When everybody else would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but theres one more element (因素) required, one that c

To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2023 Olympics could be in his futu

20、heir forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to throw large amounts of waste in the form of orange peels (皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a
21、landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting a national park.” They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through.Then in 2013, while discussing pos
22、sible research avenues with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.“While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby
23、 fields, Id have to climb through undergrowth and cut paths through walls of vines(藤) in the orange peel site itself, “said Timothy Treuer.Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples (样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found great differences between the areas covered with orange peels
24、and those that were not. The area with orange waste had richer soil.The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange mined a national park and slo
25、pped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuers study has received worldwide attention, this type of ruining is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.1、Why could Del Oro throw orange peels within the national park?AHe rented a 3-hectare piece of land in the nation
26、al park.BHe gave part of their forestland to the national park.CThe national park wanted to make the soil richer.DHe came to an agreement with the national park by paying some money.2、When was the deal between Del Oro and the national park made?AIn 1998.BIn 1999.CIn 2012.DIn 2013.3、What made Treuer
27、shocked?AThe orange story Daniel Janzen mentioned.BThe deal between Del Oro and the national park.CThe pollution of orange peels to the national park.DThe effect that the orange peels had on the land.4、Whats the authors attitude to the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?APositive.BWorried.CAdmira
28、ble.DDisapproving.23（8分）A new report comparing Australian high school students with those of 65 other countries show the nation is slipping further behind in maths and reading skills.The 2017 Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA)measures the mathematics, reading and science skills of
29、half a million 15-year-olds from around the world. It found Australian teens placed equal 17th in maths, equal 10th in reading and equal 8th in science. Asian countries like China, Singapore, Korea and Japan are pulling ahead of Australian students in maths and reading. The results show Australian s
30、tudents have slipped in maths performance by about a half a year of schooling compared to 10 years ago. The decline was stronger in girls than boys, with girls dropping to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD) average.The report also found a wide gab between students in di
31、fferent parts of the country. Tasmania and the Northern Territory lagged well behind other states in all three areas. About 14,500 Australian students from 775 schools were measured in the assessment, which was conducted by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)for the OECDACERs dire
32、ctor of educational monitoring and research, Dr. Sue Thomson, says gender, indigenous status and socio-economic status still divide student outcomes. Australian students from a wealthy background show a difference of about two-and-a-half years of schooling compared to a student from the lowest socio
33、-economic group. Questionnaire responses have also found girls have a much more negative view about maths. Indigenous students are, on average, performing significantly worse than non-indigenous students, a difference of about two-and-a-half years of schooling or more in maths, science and reading.M
34、s. Thomson also raised concerns that more than two-fifths of students failed to reach base proficiency levels in maths. “These are the levels which the Ministerial Council set as not really ambitious goals, but achievable goals for a country such as Australia, and a large proportion of students not
35、to be achieving those results are quite a worry,” she said.Twelve other countries also showed declines in maths literacy over 10 years, with the largest decline occurring in Sweden, then Finland, New Zealand, Iceland and then Australia.1、According to the passage, the report _.Acompared the mathemati

Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and
40、 over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project. “They have this amazing drive that Ive never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High. “I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying I didnt expect this much work, but they do
41、nt. Theyre just working hard and theyre not giving up.”Living in a low-income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for. Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter
42、might help refugees(难民). Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code. But the most important lesson shes learned over the course of the
43、project isnt technical. “Ive learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science
44、, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year. She says, “Many of them didnt think about engineering before. They thought maybe theyre not made out to be an engineer. But working together, now they reali
45、ze theyre all needed in this field. Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”1、Why did Mardirosian think some girls would quit the subject?AIt was not practical in real life.BIt demanded a lot of time and energy.CIt was not supported by their math teacher.DIt required a lot of money and
46、expert knowledge.2、Why did the girls decide to create a solar-powered shelter?ATo save energy.BTo win a scholarship.CTo help the homeless.DTo be admitted to MIT.3、According to Maggie, what is the most valuable lesson she has learned from the project?AHow to code.BThe power of teamwork.CThe way to te
47、ach herself.DHow to make the world a better place.4、What does Mardirosian think of the project?AIt taught girls to be independent.BIt should be continued next year.CIt inspired girls interest in STEM.DIt showed the importance of engineering.25（10分） Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too?
