Before joining the WNBA, Napheesa Collier won a national championship as a key player during the University of Connecticut's undefeated 2016 season. Collier is also on another team: She's an Eco Athletes champion. Eco Athletes is a nonprofit launched just over a year ago, with the mission to inspire and coach athletes to lead climate action．In its first year, 34 current and retired professional athletes have joined the team, from a wide range of sports and countries.
"My teammates and I talk about a lot of issues, but we haven't gotten into it on climate yet," says Collier. "Two things my teammates do talk about are racial and economic injustice. I know that climate change makes these issues much more difficult to deal with. I hope Eco Athletes can help me bring people's attention to it and to act on positive solutions. "
Although there's a long history of athletes taking a stand on social justice issues, they have been more hesitant to speak out about climate change for a number of reasons, explains Lewis Blaustein, the founder of Eco Athletes. "First, some athletes prefer to not publicly engage in polities, which is common to a range of advocacy work. Second, when it comes to climate, athletes worried about communicating the science poorly. Finally, fears of being labeled a 'climate fake(冒充者)'also stood in the way. "
To overcome these challenges, Eco Athletes offers athletes access to a resource center and organizes events for athletes to learn from climate scientists and other climate experts. In turn, athletes can share their passion for the environment with their fans, get involved in more direct action and even advocate for policy change.
"A lot of it is trying to educate our followers and talk about climate change," says Collier. "Caring about the Earth shouldn't be a hobby or an identity, but a responsibility that everyone recognizes as their own. Once that happens, sustainability will become a value in everyday decision making and all those actions will add up. "
24．Why was Eco Athletes set up
A．To promote eco-friendly sports.
B．To provide a platform for world leaders.
C．To appeal to athletes to take climate action.
D．To inspire coaches to lead climate activities.
25．Which of the following may prevent athletes from engaging in climate issues
A．High economic pressure. B．Lack of related knowledge.
C．Poor interpersonal relationships. D．Worry about breaking sports rules.
26．What will athletes get from joining Eco Athletes
A．Access to sports skills. B．Ways to attract followers.
C．Chances to learn climate science. D．Rights to draft climate policies.
27．What can we learn from the text
A．Responsibility falls on climate experts. B．Greatness comes from small beginnings.
C．The spirits of sports make great athletes. D．Active engagement makes a difference.
C
Have you ever felt the urge to input critical financial information on a not-so-familiar business's website Would you dare to entrust your credit card details or passwords to potentially unsafe trading platforms
Researchers from the University of Vienna have tackled this dilemma by designing an unconditionally secure system for conducting trade in such situations. This solution is"quantum(量子)-digital payments" which combines crystallographic(加密的)methods with the properties of quantum light.
In today's payment ecosystem, customers' sensitive data is replaced by sets of random numbers, and the uniqueness of each trade is secured by a classical crystallographic method. However,companies with powerful computational resources can break these codes and recover the customers' private data, and for example, make payments in their name.
A research team led by professor Philip Walther from the University of Vienna has shown how the quantum properties of light can ensure security for digital payments. In an experiment,the researchers demonstrated that each trade cannot be copied. They replaced classical crystallographic techniques with a quantum protocol(协议)using single photons, a unit of energy. During the course of a classical digital payment trade, the client shares a classical code called cryptogram with his payment provider. This cryptogram is then passed on between the customer, businessmen, and payment provider. In the demonstrated quantum protocol this cryptogram is generated by having the payment provider sending particularly prepared single photons to the client.
The researchers successfully conducted quantum-digital payments,connecting two university buildings in downtown Vienna. Digital payments currently operate within a few seconds. "At present, our protocol takes a few minutes of quantum communication to complete a trade. This is to guarantee security in the presence of noise and losses," says Philip Walther. "However, these time limitations are only of technological nature. We will witness that quantum-digital payments reach practical performance in the very near future. "
28．What do the underlined words"this dilemma" in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Need for financial services. B．Urge to get rid of credit cards.
C．Fear of digital payment safety. D．Concern about false information.
29．What is a disadvantage of the present payment system
A．The convenience of payment can't be enjoyed. B．The uniqueness of trade can't be ensured.
C．Customers' private data may be leaked. D．Customer payment choices are limited.
30．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．How quantum-digital payment works. B．How digital payment proves safer.
C．Why single photons are necessary. D．What is important for online trade.
31．What is Philip's attitude towards quantum-digital payment
A．Confident. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Conservative.
D
Scientists have transfused lab-made red blood cells into a human volunteer in a world-first trial that experts say has major potential for people with hard-to-match blood types or conditions such as sickle cell disease. The research could someday mean an end to long searches for compatible donors or dangerous transfusion reactions.
The experimental transfusion was done at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, England, as part of a collaborative effort among UK scientists to understand how lab-made blood transfusions could work.
The scientists took whole blood from donors in a UK database and separated out the stem cells. These are the body's raw materials---the cells from which all specialized cells, like a red blood cell, can generate. The researchers grew red blood cells from those stem cells and transfused them into two healthy volunteers. The transfusions involved only a tiny amount of blood: the equivalent of one or two teaspoons. A standard blood transfusion would involve many hundred times that amount. This stage of the trial involves two mini transfusions at least four months apart, one with a standard donation of red cells and the other with lab-made cells from the same donor.
The researchers are closely monitoring the volunteers to determine whether the process was safe. They say there have been with " no side effects" so far. They' re also watching how long the lab-grown cells last compared with an infusion（注入）of standard red blood cells. Red blood cells typically last about 120 days, but a transfusion from a standard donation contains cells that are a variety of ages because the bone marrow（骨髓）continuously makes these cells.
Previous tests have shown that manufactured cells function like normal cells and that these lab-made cells are likely to survive longer overall while in circulation. This study will determine for the first time whether that's true. Further trials will be necessary to determine whether there could be a clinical use of this lab-grown product.
The research could eventually make a difference to people with sickle cell disease, those who develop antibodies（抗体）against most donor blood types, or those with genetic disorders in which their body can't make red blood cells or the blood cells they make don't work well.
32．What function is expected of the lab-made red blood cells transfusion
A．It may make it easier to get blood donors.
B．It may grow red blood cells from the stem cells.
C．It may end the dangerous transfusion reactions.
D．It may develop antibodies against many donor blood types.
33．What can be inferred about the experimental procedure
A．It is widely considered not safe despite many experiments.
B．The two mini transfusions shouldn't be carried out closely together.
C．The researchers transfused stem cells into volunteers to monitor them.
D．A standard blood transfusion only need to involve a tiny amount of blood.
34．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．The process of lab-made blood transfusions proves safe so far.
B．Lab-made cells survive longer overall than normal cells in circulation.
C．There are two mini transfusions with lab-made cells in the experiment.
D．The stem cells, as the body's raw materials, can't produce red blood cells.
35．What's the passage mainly about
A．A small amount of blood can make a difference.
B．Lab-made cells outweigh normal cells in a transfusion.
C．Lab-made cells can contribute to blood-related diseases.
D．Lab-made cell transfusions can replace normal blood donations.

Be a true runner
For me, it was normal to feel lost at the inter-camp track. Four camps of kids were ready to lead their teams to a blue ribbon and win the day. Not me. I was too little to be the leader and too skinny to be an athlete. I knew this by the time I was twelve, because my camp counselors（辅导员）and the other kids reminded me of it every chance they got. So when our camp needed a fourth runner in the two-mile race around the lake, I knew I was no one’s first choice.
I hid in the shade of a maple tree as they called the names of the runners, my body tensed as I heard a counselor call, “Fred! Where is Fred! He is in this race!” It was Barry. He spotted me under the tree. “Fred! We need a 12-year-old who hasn’t been in other events to run the two-mile!”
He gave me a push towards the starting line. Having no confidence and trying to save myself from the shame of taking the last place as four camps watched, I pleaded with him.
“But I don’t know the way around the lake!”
“You’re in. Just follow Bill!” Barry smiled.
Bill was my friend and the fastest runner in our camp. And then Barry said, “When you make it to the last stretch（最后一程）on the field, just throw your head back and run. ”
At the starting line, I stood next to Bill and trembled.
“On your mark… Get set…” The gun cracked and sixteen of us took off. I stayed close on Bill’s heels, a little too close for Bill, I guess. He shouted at me, “Back off!”
I did. Two guys passed me, but I kept my eyes on Bill．
It was tiring. The distance was widening between Bill and me. We made the turn from the dusty road onto the muddy, wooded trail that would go around the lake back to the field. Through the trees, I saw Bill trip over a tree root and fall. A runner from another camp passed him.
In a moment, Bill was up and running again. ____________________________________________

第一节参考范文：
As we all know, there are many traditional festivals in China. Some of them are representative. So whenever people mention them, they will think of China. Those are called Chinese symbols. As for me， “Mid-Autumn Festival” is the most distinctive Symbol of China.
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of our Chinese lunar calendar, when all the family members will come home for the festival, enjoying the moon cakes and appreciating the beautiful moon. As one of the most representative Chinese festival, it has been enjoying great popularity, which means Chinese people extremely value family union. That is why Mid-Autumn Festival is regarded as “Symbol of China”.
Mid-Autumn Festival is always my favorite holiday.
第二节参考范文：
In a moment, Bill was up and running. I couldn’t think of anything but to follow him closely. I could even feel the air hitting my face and I was totally worn out. Naturally, my pace slowed down. Just at the moment, Barry’s words “Just follow Bill” called me back. Convinced that I was no longer a loser, refreshed up again and accelerated and soon I was quite close to Bill again. Injected with confidence, I headed for the finishing line. The gun cracked again, announcing the last 200 meters. I closed my eyes, threw my head back and ran with my last bit of strength in the direction of the dream line.
I didn’t realize that I had crossed the finish line. I still kept running on when a thunderous applause burst, which signaled the birth of the champion. I stopped and opened my eyes and saw my camp of kids and the camp counsellor gathering around me. “We have won the race! We are the champion!’ they shouted and cheered, throwing me in the air. Showered with hugs and applause and whistles, I felt a surge of delight sweeping over me. To me, the race meant more than a champion; it well proved that I was not a loser as an athlete and that I could further explore my potential Just as Hemingway puts it, “The true nobility is superior to your former self. ”
