Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks—determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments—she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team—is a movie!
The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater(母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ distinctive coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life—her mother.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma(哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated(被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”.
After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Initially that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have distinguished themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three consecutive Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another distinction for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!
24. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career
A．Being the team bus driver.
B．Doing the laundry for her players.
C．Walking to the Black swimming pool.
D．Finding venues for team practice.
25. What did Starks learn from her mother
A．An optimistic attitude towards life.
B．A strong will to overcome tough situations.
C．A willingness to push the limits of her body.
D．Her distinctive coaching style.
26. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because of _________.
A．racial discrimination
B．her gender
C．her physical condition
D．her lack of experience
27. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate _________.
A．like teacher like student
B．education is the key to success
C．practice makes perfect
D．equality is greater than division
C
When people “choke under pressure,” it’s often at times when success could result in a big payoff - maybe they’re an athlete at a championship match or an actor performing for a famous director. Now, a study in monkeys helped reveal why.
The study involved three monkeys completing tasks to get a reward - in this case, water to drink. The task was a test of speed and accuracy, in which the monkeys were trained to reach for a target on a screen. The monkeys had to wait for a cue to begin reaching and then hold that position for a time. The color of the cue corresponded with the size of their potential reward for doing so accurately, from small to big. The monkeys performed their best when the prize was a medium to large volume of water. But when they could win an unusually large prize, they underperformed, or choked under pressure.
“They were too slow,” said first study author Adam Smoulder. “It was as if they were worried about missing the target and focusing so much on what they were doing that they’d run out of time.”
During the experiment, the scientists tracked the activity of the monkeys’ brains and found these performance issues caused by the promise of a big prize arose from impaired (受损的) motor preparation.
Motor preparation, in which the brain prepares to make a motion, like reaching with a hand, mainly takes place in parts of the brain that have an “optimal (最佳的) zone”. The new study shows that the size of a reward determines whether the brain reaches this optimal zone. The presence of a reward pushes the brain toward this optimal place, but when the reward gets too large, it goes beyond it.
The researchers now hope to explore whether they could help bring about these “optimal” brain patterns to help someone perform at their best. “We would love to understand how we can make psychological training a little bit more formal and repeatable,” Adam said.
28. How could the monkeys know the size of the reward
A．By observing the color of the cue.
B．By touching the screen to get a cue.
C．By looking at the amount of water given.
D．By measuring the time of holding the target.
29. Why did the monkeys perform poorly in the high-reward situation
A．They were too cautious to take action.
B．They were too excited to stay focused.
C．They were too confused to make choices.
D．They were too stressed to identify the color.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．The brain.
B．The reward.
C．The optimal zone.
D．The prepared motion.
31. What will the researchers do next
A．Confirm their research findings.
B．Explore different brain patterns.
C．Find ways to unlock people’s potential.
D．Optimize psychological training methods.
D
As popular mistrust of expert opinion grows, we increasingly encounter the following skeptical argument about science: Historically, even well-established theories and findings have been overturned, so why should we trust the ones we have now
The question sounds sobering (令人深思的) but also misleading. To understand what’s wrong with the skeptical argument, we should closely examine its reasoning.
One possibility is that science is imperfect in essence. If the scientific method has obvious drawbacks, people may expect science to keep producing problematic theories.
The fundamental issue lies in the fact that there is no single scientific method used in all of science. For instance, Newton’s deductive reasoning (演绎推理) based on observed phenomena is strikingly different from Darwin’s approach of inferring the best explanation from available evidence, which, in turn, differs completely from Einstein’s thought experiments involving light beams, trains, and elevators. What people call the scientific method is really many distinct ways of investigating the world — different strategies for representing, experimenting and classifying.
To claim that science is fundamentally unreliable, one may examine the evidence and methods in a specific research area. Take early-stage medical research, where a large proportion of findings were later found to be contradicted by better evidence. In this context, doubt may be justified: if previous findings were unreliable, future ones might be too.
But notice that we’re not making an overgeneralized claim about all scientific research. We’re identifying a specific area of research which is methodologically problematic and coming to a limited conclusion supported by solid evidence. Nor are we comparing the failures of early-stage medical research to the so-called “failures” of Newtonian physics. Newton’s laws are accurate in many but not all contexts; one reason Einsteinian physics is considered successful is that it preserves Newton’s accuracy.
What I propose is neither global pessimism nor blind faith. It’s local skepticism, or disciplined trust, which would serve us much better but requires some actual knowledge of science and some intellectual humility. The history of science is indeed a graveyard (坟墓) of abandoned theories, but the fact that science keeps changing is a mark of its strength. It’s not a problem but the engine that drives scientific progress.
32. Why does the author mention Newton, Darwin, and Einstein in Paragraph 4
A．To illustrate the progress of physics over time.
B．To show that science lacks a universal method.
C．To argue that thought experiments are unreliable.
D．To prove that scientific theories often contradict each other.
33. What can be inferred about early-stage medical research from the passage
A．It follows the same methods as Newtonian physics.
B．Its findings are generally more reliable than physics.
C．It is a good example of where local skepticism is justified.
D．Its failures prove that all scientific research is problematic.
34. What does the author mean by “disciplined trust” in the last paragraph
A．Believing in historical scientific theories.
B．Trusting scientific findings without question.
C．Rejecting scientific claims unless proven true.
D．Trusting science based on evidence and context.
35. What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To defend the public’s distrust of science.
B．To prove that scientific theories are often wrong.
C．To argue for a balanced view of scientific reliability.
D．To compare different scientific methods across history.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Eight-year-old Eli was starting his first day at Maplewood Elementary School. His mom had warned him a hundred times: “Never accept peanut snacks, and always tell others about your peanut allergy (过敏). Even a tiny bit could make your throat itch (痒) and cause breathing problems.”
But he hated feeling “different”. When Mrs. Lopez asked the class to share their “favorite snacks” for a get-to-know-you activity, the other kids talked about chocolate chip cookies and fruit cups. Eli just mumbled, “I like… apples.” He didn’t mention his allergy. He was afraid of being labeled “the weird (奇怪的) kid who couldn’t eat normal food.”
A month later, Mrs. Lopez asked everyone to bring a homemade snack to share for the end-of-September party. The desks were covered with fruit, juice, popcorn and cookies. Eli had brought some apple pies and watched the other kids laughing and enjoying their treats.
Lila, his deskmate, held a cookie out to him. “My grandma made it! Want a taste It’s sweet and chewy!”
Eli’s heart raced. He shook his head rapidly and said, “No, thanks!” Lila’s smile faded a little, but she simply shrugged and walked away.
Eli let out a sigh of relief — then felt a twist of guilt. She was just being nice, and now she probably thought he was weird. Maybe this one had no peanuts, he hoped. “Lila, wait,” he called out. She turned back, surprised. Eli forced a smile. “Actually… I’ve changed my mind. Can I try one ” Lila’s face lit up. “Sure!” She handed him a cookie.
Eli took a small bite, chewing slowly. It tasted delicious. But after two bites, his throat began to tighten. His nose felt stuffy. Red spots spread across his face. Panic surged through him — were there peanuts in the cookie He clutched his throat, gasping for air. His voice came out weak: “I… I can’t breathe…”
“Mrs. Lopez! Something’s wrong with Eli!” Lila called at the top of her voice.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

Mrs. Lopez turned around and noticed Eli’s serious condition.

Mrs. Lopez turned around and noticed Eli’s serious condition. Realizing Eli was having a severe allergic reaction, she rushed over immediately. She quickly sent for the school doctor and called Eli’s parents. Lila stood by nervously, feeling extremely guilty for offering the cookie. Soon the doctor arrived and gave Eli first aid. Fortunately, timely treatment relieved his symptoms. On the way to hospital, Eli finally told Mrs. Lopez his secret peanut allergy.
Two weeks later, the class held a “Safe Snack Party” to celebrate Eli’s return. All students prepared snacks without peanuts in advance. Before the party, Eli bravely shared his allergy experience with the whole class. He admitted that hiding his problem only brought danger. His classmates all showed understanding and promised to watch out for peanut food for him. Warmth filled the classroom. Eli no longer felt different, learning that honesty and self-acceptance bring true warmth and friendship.
