That ambition nearly ended in 2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17-year-old high school senior in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the w

26、aist down. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight.“ I want to prove to everyone including mysmelf that Istill normal, ” shewshaaidte, ver n“ormal means. ”Normal for

27、her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. Half of her body was taken away from her, so she had to move it with her hands. It took much learning and patience.After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to inclu

28、de women like her. She met people online who were fighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal （脊椎的 ） injuries, and invited them to dance with her. To reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rolle

29、ttes.Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their acting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time they fedlt they belonged. Edna Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes

30、 team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car.“ I didn t know I could do smany things that my fellow teammates had taught me, ” shied .sa“ I didn t know I could be sexy.It sos powerful to have my teammates in my life, because they rmey teachers.

34、ermined and inspiring.D. Cooperative and generous.CLearning Colour WordsIn the first few years of their lives, children brought up in English-speaking homes successfully master the use of hundreds of words, including those for objects, actions, emotions, and many other aspects of the physical world.

35、 However, when it comes to learning colour words, the same children perform very badly. If shown a blue cup and asked about its colour, typical two-year-olds seem as likely to come up with"red" as "blue ".Cognitive (認(rèn)知)scientists at Stanford University in California supposed that

36、 children ' s incompetence at colour-word learning may be directly linked to the way these words are used in English. They are used mostly in pre-nominal position (e.g." bluecup",) in contrast topost-nominal position (e.g. "Thecup is blue." )The difficulty children have may s

37、imply come down to the challenge of having to make predictions from colour words to the objects they refer to, rather than from the objects to the colour words.To explore this idea further, the research team recruited 40 English children aged between 23 and 29 months and carried out a three-phase ex

38、periment. It consisted of a pre-test, followed by training in the use of colour words, and finally a post-test that was identical to the pre-test. The pre- and post-test materials comprised six objects that were unfamiliar to the children. There were three examples of each object in each of three co

39、lours red, yellow and blue. The objects were presented on trays (托盤),and in both tests, the children were asked to pick out objects in response to requests in which the colour word was either a pre-nominal ( " Whichis the red one?” or a post-nominal ( "Which one is red?. ")In the trai

40、ning, the children were introduced to five sets of familiar items (balls, cups, crayons, glasses, and toy bears) in each of the three colours. Half the children were presented with the items one by one and heard them labeled with colour words used pre-nominally, while the other half were introduced

41、to the same items described with a post-nominal colour word. After the training, the children repeated the selection task on the novel items in the post-test. Correct choices on items that were consistent across the pre- and post-tests were used to measure children c olour knowledge.According to the

42、 assessment, children's performance was consistent when they were both trained and tested on post-nominal adjectives, and worst when trained on pre-nominal adjectives and tested on post-nominal adjectives. Comparing the pre- and post-test scores across each condition revealed a significant decli

43、ne in performance when children were both pre- and post-tested with questions that placed the colour words pre-nominally.38. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2?A. To present a phenomenon.B. To make a contrast.C. To give a possible explanation.D. To provide an example.39. What can we learn about the

44、experiment from the passage?A. The children had to place the pre- and post-test objects onto coloured trays.B. The children were presented with the same objects in the pre- and post-tests.C. Pre-nominal questions were less used than post-nominal questions in the training.D. The researchers aimed to

45、look for consistencies in children s konfowwolerddgoerder.40. What does the underlined word novel ” “ in Paragraph4 probably mean?A. Imaginary.B. Unknown.C. Familiar.D. Common.41. The outcome of the experiment shows that .A. children are unable to accurately sort objects by colourB. children trained

46、 on pre-nominal adjectives perform wellC. children learn colour words rapidly in post-nominal positionD. children can make predictions from the objects to the colour wordsDIn the picture Landscape with Diogenes by the 17th century French artist Poussin, the ancient philosopher Diogenes is described

47、casting away his last possession, a drinking bowl. He realizes he doesn t need it after seeing a youth cupping a hand to drink from a river. The significance for us is that Diogenes sdpeisrictueanldants （后代） known as new minimalists are now eve, rywhereif not as completely possession-free as he was.

48、There are hundreds of websites praising the virtues of tidy living. Everyone is trying to cut down on things these days. People are trying to reduce their carbon footprints, their waistlines, and their monthly outgoings. What s more, there s a general fear that peoplecahroekebdecboymingtheir possess

49、ions, and this is fueled by the knowledge that the leading hobby these days seems to be shopping. It s true, sales o-freeaders and e-books go beyond those of paperbacks. As a result, the need for bookshelves is cut out.However, today s new minimalists don t urge us to burn our boodkestaronyd our CDs

50、, but just make sure we have them as digital files. So, for example, I have digitised versions of some of my old vinyl LP （黑膠 ） records and haven t, asstyimetu, lated myself to take the LPs to the nearest charity shop and I admit I shall probably go on keeping them. Technology has gone beyond our dr

51、eams and there is always the doubt that our hard drives will crash and all will be lost. Far more important, however, is the fact that our memories are so inseparably tied to our possessions that we can t get rid of stuff. We are not exactly suffering withdrawal symptoms （ 癥狀 ） as we try to break ou

52、r addiction to objects. We are just acquiring new stuff, which means we can bin or recycle our old stuff.I m happy to have found another website which seems to solve a whole lot of problems atonce a thriving online advice service offering storage solutions. The interior （ 室內(nèi)的 ） designer responsible

53、for this does not suggest getting rid of stuff, but rather recommends buying more stuff such as elegant flexible baskets or colourful lidded containers to hide the first lot of stuff from view. I love this philosophy convince yourself you vegot your desire for possessions under control, without havi

54、ng to lose a thing. After all, we aren mterciless enough to follow Diogenes and cast away all our possessions.42. Why does the author mention a picture by the artist Poussin?A.

58、always make adults happier. Recently in a new study, John K. Coffey II, assistant professor of psychology at Sewanee, the University of the South, found that happiness during infancy ( 嬰兒期) predicted childhood IQ and adult educational success.In his 29-year study, Coffey used the Fullerton Longitudinal Study (FLS). In 1978 the FLS research team recruited 130 parents with babies for a study that now has run for
