Hansel Enmanuel, a 19-year-old basketball player, has drawn attention after videos spread quickly showing his awesome skills, like making 3-point shots and dunking (灌篮) with ease. All with just his right arm. It looks almost effortless when he plays. However, it’s not. It never has been.
Enmanuel was 6 when he was climbing a wall. It fell over him, bricks and blocks on his left arm. He was rushed to the hospital, but the doctor couldn’t save his arm and it was cut off several inches below the shoulder. It was a dark time for Enmanuel and his family.
Slowly, things got better for the little boy. He still remembers the first time he tied his shoes. Just 7, Enmanuel was waiting for his mother to do it for him, but she was busy cooking. “I was like, never mind, I’m going to start,” he said in a recent interview. “I told myself let me try. I was trying. Then I made it.” “So I was excited, excited like crazy,” he added.
Small things became huge victories. Months after that, Enmanuel tried basketball, too. But it’s not an easy path. His missing arm left him lacking balance. Every time he tried to run, he’d crash to the ground, falling on debris (碎片) covered across the courts he played on. These falls left him with numerous scars (疤痕). In the interview, Enmanuel pointed to the scar after scar down the length of the leg, reminders of a hard time that has brought him to excellence in basketball skills.
Enmanuel first dunked at 14, and it wasn’t long before his popularity grew with the views on his videos. But it wasn’t the highlight videos that interested his coach, Corey Gipson. He liked Enmanuel’s attitude and the way he carried himself on the court. “Hansel is a very tough person,” Gipson said. “When you see him on the floor, you just see an unstoppable force that doesn’t take anything for granted (理所应当).” “I’m not special,” Enmanuel said. “I’m not different than nobody. The only difference is that I’ve got one arm, but that’s not different.”
18. What first encouraged Enmanuel to recover from the accident
A．The help from his doctor.
B．Managing to tie his shoes.
C．Videos on his shots and dunking.
D．The attention from his mother.
19. Enmanuel pointed to scars on his leg mainly to show his ______.
A．success
B．health
C．efforts
D．competence
20. What interested Enmanuel’s coach most
A．His response to difficulties.
B．His great sense of balance.
C．His confidence on the court.
D．His popularity on social media.
21. What does the story intend to tell us
A．He who laughs last laughs best.
B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D．You can make a difference by being different.
C
Have you ever wished you could be better organized or more sociable Perhaps you’re a constant worrier, and you’d prefer to be a little more carefree Actually at least 2/3 of people would like to change some elements of their personality. In the past, such desires appeared to be fruitless. One’s personality was thought to be formed in childhood and to remain fixed throughout his entire life.
Recent research from psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues, however, challenges this expectation of a fixed personality. With the right psychological strategies and enough effort, they say, many people can successfully shape their desired personality.
Their interventions (干预) typically involve recommending regular activities that reflect the personality traits(特征) people wish to adopt. Introverts who wish to be more outgoing, for example, might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week, or making small talk with the cashier in the supermarket. Someone who wishes to be more organized and disciplined might be asked to carefully double-check an email before sending it, or to write a to-do list before going to bed.
While these tasks may seem insignificant, the aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviors they produce to become habitual. And the evidence so far suggests it works remarkably well. In one 15-week trial of 400 people, participants accepted an average of two challenges each week. After they completed those tasks, their traits shifted in the desired direction, according to a personality questionnaire (调查问卷).
The unexpected personality change should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable, organized, or happy-go-lucky. Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health.
People always believe negative feelings are just part of who they are, and there is little they can do to change them. But what if educating people about their potential for personality change could place them on a more positive track To test this idea, Harvard professor of psychology, John Weisz, and his partner selected a group of 100 teenagers who had previously shown signs of anxiety or depression. They took a computerized course that explained the science of brain plasticity(可塑性), and were then given worksheets to strengthen what they had learned.
When Weisz checked in on the teens’ mental health nine months later, the students reported a significant decrease in their anxiety and depression compared with those who had instead taken part in a course on “emotional expression”.
Whether you are struggling with serious issues or simply want to polish off your rougher edges, remember that character is within your own hands and you have the power to become what you want to be.
22. According to the passage, an old belief about personality is that ________.
A．most people are satisfied with their personality
B．sociable or organized people are more popular
C．childhood has nothing to do with personality
D．people can’t change their personality traits
23. In Nathan Hudson’s research, participants ________.
A．became more aware of their mental health
B．formed new thinking patterns and behaviors
C．reported their completed tasks in the questionnaire
D．were advised to work as cashiers in the supermarket
24. John Weisz’s study is mentioned to ________ Hudson’s research.
A．question the result of
B．make a comparison with
C．explain the method used in
D．show an additional benefit of
25. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage
A．Mental Issues: More than Meets the Eye
B．Personality: It Is Not Set in Stone
C．Your Personality Shapes Your Future
D．A Great Cure for Mental Problems

六、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
The Impact of Social Media on Adolescents
Using social media has become a routine activity for most young people. In recent years, the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically, so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet.
Social media allows young people to achieve online many of the tasks that are important to them offline: staying connected with friends and family, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. Some schools successfully use blogs as teaching tools, which has the benefit of improving skills in written expression and creativity. At the same time, social media helps them get what they want, increase their knowledge and confidence in their academic performance.
While social media provides many benefits, it can also have a negative impact on young people, both physically and mentally. It is easy to become addicted, and research shows that students who spend too much time on social media can suffer from poor sleep, eye fatigue, negative body image, depression, anxiety and more. Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours, which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰).
Using social media becomes a risk to adolescents more than they can realise. When people go on to websites, they leave evidence of their visits. This ongoing record of online activity is called the “digital footprint”. One of the biggest threats to young people on social media is to their digital footprint and future reputations. Young people who lack an awareness of privacy issues often post inappropriate material without understanding that “what goes online stays online”. As a result, future jobs and college acceptance maybe put in danger by inexperienced clicks of the mouse.
46. Why is a large part of young people’s social and emotional development occurring on the Internet
____________________________________________________________________________________________
47. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
____________________________________________________________________________________________
48. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Young people’s improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
49. How do you make full use of social media to better your life and study Please give one or two examples. (In about 40 words)

Dear Jim,
I’d recommend you to choose the trip to Xi’an. As an ancient capital, it boasts world-famous cultural treasures like the Terracotta Army, which can help you know brilliant Chinese history. Besides, local traditional snacks are amazing.
Compared with Beijing, Xi’an has fewer tourists and offers a quiet journey full of traditional culture. I believe you will have an unforgettable time there.
Yours,
Li Hua
