I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least,skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me,and I even grew to love the tiredness and the light headache that came with my poordiet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach,Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talkedwith me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she triedto make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly.Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice andgames were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smithasked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet. She looked at me, disappointmentin her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. Istood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then thatI had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hersas well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently takemy arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw thefamiliar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.” When I thinkof a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction —not a friend.But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problemin a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve herkindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and nowfor her friendship.24.

My Way of Losing WeightCThere has long been a belief that money buys happiness. However, “although we really, really tried that for a couple of gen erations, it didn’t work,”said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.Thanks to a travel-inspired revelation (启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years. “I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry-on bag,” she told CNN. “I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this way？I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life.”Jay decided to get rid of all her extra possessions and live with just the essentials. “I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things.”Jay is a follower of a movement called “minimalism (极简主义)”. Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment, Leah Watkins, a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, told Stuff magazine in March.But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions.Depression with the materialism of our world isn’t new. English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how depressing this was back in 1802, at the beginning of the industrial age, when he wrote: “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers”. His preference was to go back to nature. Closer to our own times, the hippies (嬉皮士) of the 1960s also sought to “drop out” of modern life.And for many minimalists, their key is to unload. “Without objects, they believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that’s where life happens,” wrote Stuff.But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice？“It’s eliminating the excess — unused items, unnecessary purchases — from your life. Well, I may have fewer possessions, but I have more space … Minimalism is making room for what matters most,” said Jay.And “the real questions”, according to Duane Elgin, US social scientist, are “what do you care about?” and “what do you value?”He told CNN: “It’s important for people to realize minimalism isn’t simply the amount of stuff we consume. It’s about our families, our work, our connection with the larger world, our spiritual dimension. It’s about how we touch the whole world. It’s a way of life.”28. What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life？A. A book she cameacross.B. Her desire to keep up with modern life.C. The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly.D. A follower ofminimalism she met on a trip.29. According to this passage, a minimalist tends to ______.a. be fed up with materialismb. like visiting naturec. be angry about his or her current lifed. be environmentally friendly and live with fewer thingsA. a,b B. a, b,d C. a, b,c D. b, c, d30. The underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 8 probably means ______.A. increasingB. removingC. acceptingD. improving31. Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with？A. Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modernlife.B. Minimalism limits people’s freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest.C. Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in theirlives.D. Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply.DMeasles (麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more,was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of theMMR vaccine (疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growinganti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year,115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of lastyear.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend.When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the peoplewho get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reason s,babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When somerefuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in evenbigger danger.That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country fromOrange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out (决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption （豁免), sometimes just by signinga paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.32. The first two paragraphs suggest that ______.A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD. information about measles spreads quickly33. Herd immunity works well when ______.A. exemptions are allowedB. several vaccines are used togetherC. the whole neighborhood is involved inD. newregulations are added to the state laws34. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A. The overuse of vaccine.B. The vaccine opt-outs of some people.C. The features of measles itself.D. The lack of medical care.35. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce the idea of exemption.B. To discuss methods to cure measles.C. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.D. To stress the importance of vaccination.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
