Joe DiMaggio was one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. A three-time winner of the Most Valuable Player award, DiMaggio was selected to the Major League All-Star team in each of his thirteen seasons. He is best known for his remarkable performance during the 1941 season.
I recently heard a little-known story about how DiMaggio acquired his exceptional ability. As the story goes, a reporter was interviewing DiMaggio at his home and asked him what it felt like to be such a “natural hitter”. Without saying a word, he dragged the reporter downstairs. In the shadows of the basement, DiMaggio picked up a bat and began to repeat a series of practice swings. Before each swing, he would call out a particular pitch such as “fastball, low and away” or “slider, inside” and adjust his approach accordingly.
Once he finished the routine, DiMaggio set the bat down， picked up a piece of chalk, and scratched a tally mark on the wall. Then he flicked on the lights to reveal thousands of tally marks covering the basement walls. Supposedly, DiMaggio then looked at the reporter and said, “Don’t you ever tell me that I’m a natural hitter again.”
We love stories like this — stories that highlight how remarkable success is the product of effort and perseverance. In recent years, the study of hard work has developed into a scientific pursuit. Experts have begun to refer to focused and effortful training as “deliberate practice” and it is widely considered to be the recipe for success.
There is no doubt that deliberate practice can be the recipe for success, but only under certain conditions. If we are serious about maximizing our potential, then we need to know when deliberate practice makes the difference between success and failure and when it doesn’t. Before we can capture the power of deliberate practice, we need to understand its limitations. In highly competitive fields, deliberate practice is often necessary, but not sufficient for success.
24. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A DiMaggio’s life experience. B. DiMaggio’s personal struggle.
C. The great popularity of DiMaggio. D. The great achievement of DiMaggio.
25. Why did DiMaggio show a series of practice swings to the reporter
A. To demonstrate his brilliant skills. B. To demonstrate his poor conditions.
C. To prove he wasn’t a genius indeed. D. To prove he wasn’t excellent indeed.
26. What does the author want to tell us by sharing DiMaggio’s story
A. Perseverance leads to success. B. Genius comes from hard work.
C. Your hard work will pay off in the end. D. Diligence makes up for a lack of talent.
27. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to deliberate practice
A. Doubtful. B. Confused.
C. Objective. D. Ambiguous.
C
Angus, Doris, Gabriel and Kamil are some of the 21 names that have been chosen to be given to storms in the UK in the 2016/17 season.
The Met Office, the UK’s national weather service, decided to give storms boys’ and girls’ names in 2015 in the same way as they did in America.
The Met Office hopes that naming big storms will mean people are more aware (意识到) of them and how dangerous they can be. Derrick Ryall, from the Met Office, said, “We have seen how naming storms elsewhere in the world raises people’s awareness of storms before they break.”
In the past, the same UK storm could be given different names by different organizations. “We noticed that many organizations during the last couple of winters, when we have had bad storms, started giving names to them. Think back to the St Jude’s Day storm in 2013, and the so-called Hurricane Bawbag in Scotland in 2011. But it led to confusion (混乱),” a Met Office spokeswoman said.
According to the Met Office, there is a name for each letter of the whole alphabet (字母表), except for Q, U, X, Y and Z. That is the same as the naming tradition used in America. And not all storms will be big enough to get names— only those expected to cause great damage.
If there are more than 21 storms in a year, the Met Office will start again with another name beginning with “A”. However, according to Met Office spokeswoman Lindsay Mears, “It’s unlikely we would get through the whole alphabet in one season. We had 14 storms in the very bad winter of 2013/14, and if the naming system had been in operation then we wouldn’t have used the whole alphabet.”
28. Why are storms in the UK named
A. To remind people of their short stay. B. To increase public awareness of them.
C. To follow what other countries did. D. To meet the needs of its people.
29. Examples are given in Paragraph 4 to show ______.
A. there’re many storms to name in a year
B. some storms’ names are similar to others’
C. some storms’ names are hard to understand
D. organizations named storms differently
30. What do we know about the names given to storms
A. 21 letters will be used to begin the names.
B. Storms will be given names whatever their sizes.
C. Serious storms will be given boys’ names.
D. 21 names will be given at most in a year.
31. What can be learned from Lindsay Mears
A. There are not too many big storms each year.
B. Action will be taken to prevent storms.
C. There are usually 14 storms in a year.
D. The naming system will not change.
D
Millions of tons of electronic waste, known as e-waste, is produced ever year. In 2016, the world’s population make 49 million tons of electronic waste. It has been calculated that there will be more than 60 million tons by 2021. The amount of electronic waste is growing so rapidly that it has become a global problem that needs to be addressed.
What is causing the upsurge(激增)in e-waste Technology is becoming more and more widespread, covering almost every aspect of our lives. Meanwhile, the lifespan of devices is getting shorter— many products will be thrown away once their batteries(电池)die, to be replaced by new panies update the design or software so quickly and it is usually cheaper and easier to buy a new product than to repair an old one. Since prices are falling, electronic devices are in demand around the world.
As more people buy electronic equipment, manufacturers(制造商)are beginning to face shortages of the raw material needed to make their products, so recycling and reusing materials from discarded(废弃的)products and waste makes economic and environmental sense. Recycling e-waste is practiced both formally and informally. Formal e-waste recycling usually involves taking apart the electronics, separating and sorting through the materials and cleaning panies must obey health and safety rules to reduce the health and environmental harm of handling e-waste by using pollution-control technologies. All this makes formal recycling expensive.
With the amount of e-waste growing around the world, recycling alone will not be enough to handle the problem. In order to reduce e-waste, manufacturers need to design electronics that are safer, and more durable (耐用的)repairable. As a customer, you’d better get our old product repaired if possible and buy a new device only when you really need.
32. The underlined word “addressed” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by _________.
A. reduced B. changed
C. controlled D. solved
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly bout
A. The problems caused by the upsurge in e-waste.
B. The reasons for e-waste’s sharp increasing.
C. The bad effect of updating devices.
D. The causes of devices’ price dropping.
34. What makes recycling e-waste meaningful according to the text
A. Improving the quality of e-devices.
B. Lowering the costs of technology innovation.
C. Relieving companies’ lacking raw materials.
D. Increasing the variety of electronic products.
35. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Recycling is the only way to reduce e-waste.
B. Companies should be mainly responsible for reducing e-waste.
C. Repairing a device is better than buying a new one.
D. Everyone should take action to reduce e-waste.
