Simone Biles was expected to lead the United States women's gymnastics team to an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo,Japan.But not long into the competition on July 27，Biles withdrew（退出） from the team event.

Biles told reporters that stress had taken its toll.She was not injured,she said.But "once I came out here,I felt that the mental element is not there.So I just need to let my teammates do it and focus on myself."

Biles isn't the first athlete to speak out about the pressure of competitive sports.In May,tennis star Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open.She was concerned about her mental health.Swimmer Michael Phelps has long spoken about his struggles. "We're human beings," he says. "It is okay not to be okay."

Athletes are usually taught to focus on winning.They work through pain and injury.But now,sports stars are pushing back against that thinking.They say winning should not take priority（优先） over their health. "It's okay sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself," Biles said. "It shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are."

Jill Emanuele,a director at the Child Mind Institute,says star athletes are setting a positive example. "The message now is that being tough means paying attention to yourself and making sure you're okay," she says.In sports,mind and body must work together,or that could lead to injuries.It's why Biles did not continue in the team event.

Emanuele advises young athletes to "talk to people when you have trouble." That's what Biles did.And with the support of her team,she was able to return to competition.She finished the Olympic Games with a bronze medal in the women's balance-beam final.

(1) Why did Biles withdraw from the team competition？______

A. She was not qualified. B. She suffered great pressure.

C. She was seriously injured. D. She lost interest in the competition.

(2) What might athletes be generally taught to believe？______

A. Being tough is a must.

B. Winning comes before one's health.

C. Sitting out big competitions is okay.

D. Focusing on oneself is the most important.

(3) According to Jill Emanuele,which can be a positive example of athletes？______

A. One who always focuses on winning.

B. One winning many big competitions.

C. One who is mentally and physically fit.

D. One never getting injured in competitions.

(4) What does Jill Emanuele advise young athletes to do？______

A. Turn to others for help. B. Try to avoid the trouble.

C. Practice even harder. D. Have more confidence.

Many airlines overbook their flights—meaning they sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane.But why do they do it,and what happens to passengers who arrive at the airport only to learn that their seats are already taken？

Like any business,airlines want to make money.So,they try to fill as many seats on each plane as possible.After all,empty seats are a financial loss on airlines.

Airlines look at data from past flights to predict the number of expected "no-shows"，passengers who canceled their flight,don't show up or arrive late because of the connecting flights.For example,if the data shows that eight people normally don't show up for flights from New York to Los Angeles,the airline might sell eight extra tickets.

However,the airlines sometimes get their numbers wrong.If there are too many people and not enough seats,the airline may ask passengers to volunteer to take a later flight for compensation（赔偿） —which might include money,travel vouchers（优惠券），free meals and hotel rooms.Some airlines have offered as much as ﹩10，000 to get people to volunteer.However,if there are no volunteers,airlines may have to make passengers give up their seats.This is called "bumping".

Although there's no exact science,it's often the lowest fares that get bumped to the next flight first.This means those flying business class or first class are highly unlikely to be bumped.Airlines have also admitted to bumping people based on the time of check—in arriving last minute is not recommended.Certain groups are less likely to be denied boarding due to overbooking,such as frequent flyers,the elderly,families with young children and people with disabilities.

In the US，if a bumped passenger is able to arrive at their destination less than an hour late using another flight,no compensation is required by law—although airlines may offer some.If they arrive over two hours late,the law requires that they be given 400% of the one-way ticket price,up to a total of ﹩1，550.

(1) How do airlines determine the number of extra tickets？______

A. By analyzing the passengers' loyalty.

B. By checking the number of unsold seats.

C. By checking the passengers' information.

D. By analyzing the previous number of no-shows.

(2) What can we infer from the text？______

A. Every airline sells more tickets than the seats on the plane.

B. Airlines always bump people based on the time of check-in.

C. The volunteers who take a later flight may get ﹩10，000 as compensation.

D. The airlines sell eight extra tickets for flights from New York to Los Angeles.

(3) Who would most probably be denied boarding in case of overbooking？______

A. A couple with a baby. B. A man flying business class.

C. An old man in the wheelchair. D. A young lady arriving last minute.

(4) Which of the following can be the best title for the text？______

A. What Is the Best Time to Check-in？

B. What if You Are Late for Your Flight？

C. Why Do Airlines Overbook Their Flights？

D. How Could You Get Compensation from Airlines？

5阅读七选五 易

Too often we get caught up with negative（消极的） opinions,attitudes,actions and thoughts of those around us,which then brings a negative lifestyle.So to avoid falling into this trap,we need to begin changing. (1)

Change your negative responses.If someone asks you, "How are you？"，instead of responding by saying, "Not bad." Why not say, "I'm doing great." (2) If you're in a conversation where everybody is just being negative,try saying something positive and see what happens.You'll actually get them to stop being so negative and start looking at things in a more positive way.

Focus on the good qualities.Too often we focus only on a person's negative qualities when being made upset or angry. (3) As the old saying goes, "What goes around comes around." You focus on the positive in other people and other people will see the positive qualities in you.

(4) Another thing you can do is to be encouraging.Offer encouragement when people have questions or concerns instead of discouraging them.Listen to what people say and try to offer a positive suggestion to help.When you do this you get your mind to go in a positive direction,and you also back it up with action.

Try smiling. (5) It's true.Researchers and scientists have found that you actually use fewer muscles to smile than you do when you frown（皱眉）.Take some time to laugh at yourself and at things you find funny.Be a kid at times—having fun frees the soul and the mind.Do things you enjoy and you'll start creating a positive lifestyle.

A.Encourage the positive.

B.Avoid making unkind comments.

C.The following tips may be of help.

D.It's actually a lot easier than frowning.

E.I've heard people say they can't think of anything nice about their bosses.

F.If you actually start saying that,you'll begin to believe things will turn out great.

G.It requires that you see and understand the positive things,instead of just the negative aspects.

9书面表达 中

Filling Your Gas Tank（油箱） and Your Confidence Tank! During my graduation internship（实习期），I sometimes helped out with tasks that didn't directly relate to my work.One of these tasks was to deliver a completed machine to a client（客户） with the little truck the company had.

I had done this once before so I felt comfortable driving it.Near the delivery point,which was about ninety minutes away from the company,the warning light came on that I had to fuel the truck.I was a bit worried since I had not done that before and wondered how different it would be.

Stopping at a self-service gas station,I was anxious but still wanted to try and figure it out myself first.

I must have been there for at least ten minutes,circling the little truck,getting increasingly more anxious.I found a small tank,but it seemed way too small and didn't have that gasoline smell.

There was another bigger tank under the truck bed,but it didn't have a tank cap I could open；instead,it had a hole for a key.In my mind,this meant it could be dangerous and I could mess up something very badly if I tried to open it without being 100% sure it was what I thought it was.

I was starting to feel that I was not able to do this,so I decided to call my manager for help.He was only able to tell me that the gas tank was on the right side.But I still couldn't find where it was.I was thinking that I could probably head into the gas station and ask for help from one of the employees,though I really didn't want to trouble them.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Finally I gathered all my courage to go into the gas station to ask for help.

____________

The employee helped me fill up the gas tank.
