10、 Professional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run
11、 a darker risk: doping the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee
12、 (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.
13、Russias doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail
14、 a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more
15、 sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength
16、. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than
17、a dozen cyclists deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would ge
18、t their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOCTheir interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat
19、 (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.1、The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ .”AdeafeningBconveyingCspreadingDweakening2、Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?ATo illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.BTo show cycling is very popular in France.CTo i

21、hat can be inferred from the passage?AThe CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.BThe Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.CDoping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.DWADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.2

31、 WITH THE HUMPBACKS OF TONGA23（8分）Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, youre returning faulty goods or making
32、a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude.

33、 people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism (悲观) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative (消极的) attitude.

36、 children we are made fun of and even get bullied (欺侮) and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence.
