Football is a popular sport. More than a million kids play on high school teams, but football can be a hazard. The National Football League(NFL) has acknowledged that almost 30 percent of its players will eventually suffer from brain-related diseases. That’s a lot.
A recent study involving 40 former NFL players showed that those who started playing football before age 12 did worse on thinking tests than players who started after age 12. By the way, all the tested players scored below average for their age and education. Concerns about the effects of constant hits to the head have caused some medical experts on brain injuries, such as Robert Cantu of Boston University, to recommend that kids not play football before age 14.
I don’t think football is all bad. It helps kids learn teamwork, discipline and how to get into better physical condition. But now that we know that the sport might be dangerous, it’s time to make some changes in the youth and high school football.
First, seasons should be shorter. The high school regular season should not be more than nine games. Second, kids should not play tackle(擒抱) football too soon. As Cantu points out, “By age fourteen, our necks are strong and our overall body strength is sufficient to keep the head steady when we slam at the line of scrimmage(争球).” Personally speaking, I don’t think kids should sit on the couch until they are 14. But they can play flag football and other gentler sports. If you think age 14 is too late to become a good football player, remember that four-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady started playing football at that age.
1.What does the underline word “hazard” mean?
A. difficulty. B. danger.
C. punishment. D. pain.
2.Why did the former NFL players perform badly in tests?
A. Their heads were hit frequently.
B. They had some mental disorders.
C. They didn’t take the tests seriously.
D. They received little school education.
3.What does the author advise for kids under 14?
A. They watch football games. B. They play safer games.
C. Football be forbidden for them. D. They play 10 games a season.
4.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To entertain. B. To advertise.
C. To instruct. D. To warn.

Monday 2nd January
I am in a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, north of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. I’ve come to see the brown bears, which come to the villages at night to look for food. They walk 20 kilometres a night to get here. A farmer told me that some of his sheep have been killed by bears. But this is unusual. Usually, the bears just take bits of food which people have thrown away. Tonight I hope I’ll see them.
Tuesday 3rd January
Last night I waited with a group of tourists and as it grew dark, we saw the huge black shapes of bears. It seems the bears don’t go for people, unless they are attacked first. They were not afraid of the tourists, who took photos of them. Those clever bears knew where to go for their dinner. They jumped straight into the rubbish, where there was lots of food which people had thrown away.
Wednesday 4th January
Although it’s wonderful to see the bears in the village, it can only mean one thing: their habitat is disappearing. They would prefer to stay hidden in the mountain forests, but the trees have been cut down for firewood. So they cannot find enough food any more.
Thursday 5th January
Today I met the head of the Carpathian Animal Protection Group. He says that there are only about 2,500 bears left, and is worried that they will soon become extinct. Rich people from other countries pay a lot of money to come and shoot the bears for sport. The poor people from these villages need the money. But perhaps they could make more money from the tourists who want to come just watch the bears; and this would continue in the future. Once the bears are all dead, the tourists will stop visiting the village. But if the bears keep visiting the villages, then, perhaps, so will the tourists.
1.The best title for this passage would be _____________.
A. Hungry Brown Bears B. Brown Bears in the Forest
C. Wandering Brown Bears D. Brown Bears—A Wonder
2.It is unusual to the writer that ________________.
A. the brown bears like to be taken photos of.
B. the bears come out at night to look for food
C. the bears just take bits of food thrown away
D. the bears have attacked a farmer’s sheep
3.The villagers could continue to earn money from the bears if _________.
A. they shot the bears for sport
B. people paid more money to kill them
C. more tourists came to see the bears
D. the villagers sold the bears’ skins to tourists
4.What will happen to the bears in the future?
A. They may be kept in zoos.
B. They may become extinct.
C. They may keep eating rubbish.
D. They may be watched by visitors.

科目：高中英语 来源：四川省遂宁市2015-2016学年高二下学期教学水平监测（期末）英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
Chokwe Selassie, aged 13, is working hard to help drivers avoid potholes(坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his creation on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. He decided to do something about the pothole problem in his city. His solution: an app that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.
Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red. And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they meet, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.
The app relies on current available information about the streets of Jackson. It works by using the city’s 311 call system, and uses information already stored in a database. Through the call system, citizens dial 311 to report non-emergency problems, which include potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jackson would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型).
Although the app isn't yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to improve it. The prototype remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther until it's nationwide.
1.The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a solution to traffic jams B. an App to detect potholes
C. pothole problems in big cities D. poor road conditions
2.What’s the closest meaning of the underlined phrase “kick off” in Paragraph 1?
A. leave B. invent
C. begin D. change
3.How does the app work through the 311 call system?
A. By replying to citizens’ calls.
B. By broadcasting traffic accidents.
C. By settling non-emergency problems.
D. By using its information about potholes.
4.Which can be Chokwe’s future target?
A. Encouraging more kids to create apps.
B. Taking part in more learning programs.
C. Making the app available for sale online.
D. Making the app include streets nationwide.

Do you hate your job? As far as I know, many young people liked complaining about their jobs. When my uncle started working about five years ago, he couldn’t stop complain about his work every time he got back from work. He considered his work simple and bored as he just needed to type works by famous writers. Therefore, as time went by, he found his work real helpful. When he was typing the works, he also read it. He learned lot from the works by famous writers and about two years later, his writing was greatly improved. He had his first books published last year and now he’s working for his second book.
