NASA-s New Horizons probe（宇宙探测器）flew by Pluto（冥王星）this morning,

sending back history's first up-close looks at the vast freezing-cold world. Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT. To celebrate, NASA gave out the latest photo of

Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface. After today's close encounter, all the nine solar system's traditionally recognized planets have now been visited by a spaceship-a huge project begun in 1962 when NASA's Mariner 2 probe flew past Venus, a planet in the solar system. More than l,200 scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the flyby live at New Horizons' mission control center.

Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round！

Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state

o~ happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our

hearts, minds and souls. Actually, that-s your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!

In order to make \that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you'd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity about yourself.

You are also supposed to take a close look at your \something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it!

Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside

3

us

just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel \really contradict each other.

Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so. you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you！

Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief of American Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word \Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls?

The campaign claims that terms like \preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future \application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men It first appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning \manager who was extremely bossy . As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. \reference is always in association with women,\

Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned.

It's not just \women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which

some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled 'bossy'. And she rarely, if ever, hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be

done much earlier in a woman's life. \she says. \ like 'confidence' or 6assertiveness', we would all be in a much better place. \28.

Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their

performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 0ut of 10 had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.

The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.

Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: \otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding.

\oups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train.

\take

a drink. \

At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.

Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.

While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental

5

health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.

32. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth? A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches. B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players. C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life. D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.

33. What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth? A. Experiencing too much training. B. Eating food with too much sugar.

C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise.

D. Having little education of oral disease prevention. 34. These findings are worrying clubs because____.

A. footballers aren’t willing to give up sugary or acidic food B. they've spent much on their players' oral disease prevention C. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public D. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games 35. This passage is most probably taken from____. A. a dentist's diary B. a sports newspaper C. a medicine magazine D. a science report 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.

In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 36 Together,

however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing（调味酱）,but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.

From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work

together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 37 Each ethnic group has its own special customs, Language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is,

American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.

38 Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed

together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a

new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will

6

be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. 39 In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation-s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 40

A. Both are correct depending on one-s point of view. B. They never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.

C. This is why there is so much diversity within America.

D, In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity. E. Thus, one needs to abandon one's culture to be considered \

F. They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.

G. The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. 第三节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面材料，在空白处填人适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

As is known to us. the year 2016 has one extra day in it- February 29th. This is because it's 61 we call \e year has 366 days in 62 instead of 365.

It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England, the extra day wasn’t 63 (legal) recognized. There is a well-known tradition in the UK 64 (associate) with 29th February, introduced many centuries ago. Women are allowed to break with

tradition and propose(求婚)to their boyfriends on this day. This all started back in the 65 (five) century, when a famous Irish saint made a 66 (complain) that women had to wait too long for men to propose. According to the legend, Saint Patrick said any female dreaming of a proposal could ask her boyfriend to marry her on this additional day in February. This so-called tradition was 67 (write)in law in the thirteenth century. Scotland passed a law allowing women to propose to men in a leap year. It was said that if the men refused, they had to pay a fine!

Now in 2016, there are calls 68 29th February to become a public holiday. Some people believe that it should be an 69 (office) day off, because no one gets 70 (many) payments for working an extra day in a leap year. For the moment though, the British still have to go to work on this day.
