26、One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.

This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.

Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally Insane.

Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volunteers defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

【1】According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary ____.

A．came out before Minor died

B．was edited by an American volunteer

C．included the English words invented by Murray

D．was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary

B．Cautious and friendly.

C．Considerate and optimistic.

D．Unusual and scholarly.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

27、A character in one of Shakespeare's plays once said, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Any of these could apply to the modern day sportsmen. Many still argue about the nature of talent. Some claim that people are born to be sportsmen, while others say it is only through devotion and hard work that they achieve their abilities. Arguably though, it is not until their talents are acknowledged by the public that they truly have greatness fallen upon them.

With this acknowledgement of their "greatness" come all the trappings of modern day celebrity：money, power, influence and responsibility. For better or for worse, like it or hate it, modern sportsmen are the role models of children everywhere. These children will grow up admiring their heroes, devoting their lives to copying their every move, and wanting above all to be like them. Due to this fascination，particularly with the massive influence of the media, it is more important than ever for these sportsmen to acknowledge their responsibility.

In the past few months alone, there have been many examples of questionable behaviors from sports icons. Sport stars of the present day are often mirroring the very worst aspects of society, a fact that the self-righteous(自以为是的) anger of the modern press has been quick to point out. It would be wrong for us to expect sportsmen to be saints. It would also be wrong for us to think that their behavior is markedly different from the sportsmen they grew up watching, but with the all-seeing eye of modern media it is a different world，and different standards must be expected.

Of course there is no obligation for sportsmen to be good role models. There are no prison sentences, no fines, no community service—unless their behaviors are illegal. Unless they break the law, it is entirely up to them as to whether or not they think their behavior is appropriate. Furthermore, measuring the true influence their decisions have on their followers is absolutely impossible. Some will rise against their idols, seeing them in a new light and condemning their actions. Others may copy their heroes' actions, using them as a shield when accused of the same crimes.

It is undeniable that the actions of sportsmen will influence the lives of those who worship them. Modern day sportsmen are almost ideals of today's world, and their actions are watched carefully by millions over the world. Some may complain against it, denying their influence on these children's lives. Others may be aware of it but not respect it, while many may both be aware of it and respect it. In a word, you do not choose whether you are a role model. All you can do is to decide how to act when greatness is thrust upon you.

【1】In Paragraph 1, the author tries to emphasize________.

A．sportsmen become great when their gifts are recognized by people

B．sportsmen achieve greatness through their devotion and efforts

C．different ways for sportsmen to achieve success and greatness

D．the core characteristic to become great sportsmen nowadays

【2】According to Paragraph 4, we can learn that________.

A．role models usually have positive influence on their fans

B．sportsmen have the right to behave freely within the law

C．all the fans will follow their heroes' actions

D．no obligation is given to sportsmen

【3】The underlined phrase thrust upon most probably means________.

A．palled off

B．removed from

C．related to

D．forced on

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To advise the media to choose proper events to report.

B．To inform the public that sportsmen are no role models.

C．To remind the sportsmen of their social responsibilities.

D．To argue that sportsmen should not be expected as herons.

28、（题文）It’s generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It’s undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions（性情）, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern, by observing our own behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why should we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover, we don’t just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character --- we infer characters that weren’t there before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance（符合）with their true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut’s advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

【1】（小题1）According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to _________.

A. determine one’s behavior

B. reflect one’s taste

C. influence one’s surroundings

D. result from one’s habits

【2】（小题2）Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?

A. A kind person will offer his seat to the old

B. One buys latte out of true love of coffee

C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment

D. The return of a wallet can indicate one’s honesty

【3】（小题3）What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires

D. Our characters can shape our social relationships

【4】（小题4）What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

A. Personalities and attitudes   B. Preferences and habits

C. Behavior and personalities   D. Attitudes and preferences

“Test tourism” for grammar schools will be stopped and replaced by a new national selection exam, according to plans being considered by ministers.

A new “selective education team” has been set up, 【1】 up by Nick Timothy, who is joint chief of staff to Prime Minister Theresa May.

Currently, there is a wide 【2】 in the type of Eleven plus exams that children sit, depending on which school or area of the country the student is in. Ministers are hoping to impose severe 【3】 on” test tourism”, where parents travel huge distances and even relocate their family to secure a place for their child at a grammar school.

A summary document of a series of meetings between senior Department for Education ministers and the Grammar School Heads Association (GSHA) also reveals that the Government is developing “coaching 【4】 tests” to prevent heavily tutored children from wealthy families or expensive preparatory schools gaining unfair advantage.

Details of ministers’ plans 【5】 after the GSHA released a list of key points following their discussions with Government officials. Education Secretary Justine Greening reportedly told the grammar school headteachers that ministers “are philosophically opposed to selection but present little 【6】 to support this claim”.

According to the GSHA, ministers still want to see the top 25 percent of pupils attend 【7】 schools, and for grammar schools to cater .for a “narrower ability range” - closer to 10 percent. The notes add that there is a “move away from focusing on social 【8】 to social reform”.

Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner said it was “unbelievable” that grammar school headteachers “have been given the inside 【9】 on the government’s plans, while our state schools and academies are left out in the cold”.

A Department for Education spokesperson said, “Thanks to the government’s reforms, there are now almost 1.8 million more pupils being taught in good schools than in 2010. But we know there is more to do, and that’s precisely why we have set out plans to make more good school places 【10】 to more parents and in more parts of the country.”

32、Directions: Write an English composition in 120—150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.

“Life is not easy for any of us. We must work, and above all we must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that, when we discover what this something is, we must work until we succeed.”

—Madame Curie
