16、 in South Africa. It was my first time to travel on the African continent and truly each day was filled with one adventure after another. That was the craziest and the most dangerous experience I have ever had. On the morning of the excursion (远足), I met with my friends for breakfast, with little co
17、nversation. I suppose we were nervous about the day ahead of us. The coach then 高三二阶英语 第 4 页 共 14 页drove us from Cape Town to Dyer Island in Gansbaii. As soon as we got to our destination, we were quickly pushed onto a boat. About 2 hours into the boat ride we spotted our first shark. It was not the
18、 common shark though; it was one of the worlds deadliest predators (食肉动物) a Great White shark. Our guide told us that we had to get into the water immediately. Without any formal preparation or instruction, we put our thick wet suits on and jumped inside the iron cage.There I was in this tiny cage w
19、ith 3 Great White sharks circling around me. I tried desperately to take pictures with my underwater camera while at the same time not letting my hands and feet drift out of the cage. When I would take a mouth of air, life above the water seemed a mess. However, I would drop back under the water and
20、 life would seem to stop existing. And the sharks that always appeared frightening on TV or in photographs actually appeared peaceful in person. After an hour, I decided it was probably time for me to get out once the sharks started to become really aggressive. I waited until the very last second I
21、could, since I knew I would probably never do this again. 31. What is the text mainly about?A. The authors first travel in Africa.B. The Great White sharks in South Africa.C. A thrilling experience of encountering the Great White sharks.D. The ways to protect oneself when meeting with sharks.32. Whe

25、ry school day. This makes school meals a particularly important opportunity to improve the diets and health of US school children. With rising rates of child obesity, child health advocates are eager to see Americas schools make more use of this opportunity. The USDAs Food and Nutrition Service, whi
26、ch manages the school-meal programs, has urged school food services to make meals healthier by offering more whole grains, fruit, and vegetables, encouraging drinking of low-fat milk, and reducing the amounts of fat in meals. However, despite the pressure to improve meals, and in addition to providi
27、ng the USDA meals, most middle and high schools sell low-nutrient, high-calorie foods and beverage (饮料). Some school administrators argue that they should be sold there because students like them, they expand the choices available, and help to balance tight food-service budgets in a period of rising
28、 food costs. Many child-health advocates want to ban the less nutritious competitive foods. They argue that children lack the maturity to consider the long-term consequences of eating sugary or high-fat foods. However, some schools continue to oppose such bans, citing(引用) the reasons already mention
29、ed, as well as the fact that students will eventually have to learn to make such choices on their own. According to experts, skillful presentation of foods can preserve freedom of choice while guiding students in the right direction. Since the arrangement of foods in the school influences how studen
30、ts choose, its important to consider the consequences of design and layout. Given that school-cafeteria managers have big influence over the types of foods they sell, and the manner in which they are presented, this strategy may be a highly effective way to improve the food choices of students. 35.

Now a member of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater wheelchair basketball team, Scott has won four national championships, and has recently been selected to the Paralympic (残奥会) team for the second time. The 23-year-old college senior owes his achi
36、evements to his hard work and the support of his friends and family, who never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse. “My mother was always great. Whenever I felt like giving up, she had no sympathy. She really helped me build my independence by not babying me the way other mothers would ha
37、ve,“ Scott says.It was Scotts independent nature and strong will, along with his on-the-court skills, that attracted the attention of Americas most influential sports wear company, Nike.

44、d they become to work out physically. However, the findings should not stop us from keeping fit. Experts believe that willpower is like a muscle, and needs to be exercised to help one avoid the temptation (诱惑) of spending a night on the couch instead. Kathleen Martin-Ginis, a professor of kinesiolog
45、ythe science of movement who led the study, says everyone has a limited amount of willpower, and that it will be reduced by stress. Miss Martin-Ginis, of Canadas McMaster University, explains, “Cognitive (认知的) tasks, as well as tasks such as regulating (调整 ) ones emotions, can reduce ones capacity t
46、o force oneself to exercise.“Her team of scientists performed a so-called “Stroop“ test on volunteers to reach their conclusions. The experiment involved showing participants words associated with colors but printed in different colors for example, the word “blue“ written in red ink. 高三二阶英语 第 8 页 共
47、14 页Participants were divided into two groups. One group was asked to name the color of the ink, instead of saying the printed word, while the other wasnt. Martin-Ginis says, “After we used this cognitive task to use up their self-regulatory capacity, the participants didnt exercise as hard as those
48、 who had not performed the task.“ The more people concentrated on the cognitive task, the more likely they were to skip exercise sessions (活动时间) over the next eight weeks. You only have so much willpower. However, there are ways to strengthen willpower. The study found that listening to music before
49、 going to the gym can help, as well as making a commitment to work out with friends. It also concluded that willpower can be stretched by constantly challenging oneself to resist temptations such as chocolate cake, or forcing oneself to study an extra half-hour each night. Martin-Ginis adds, “There are strategies people can use
