10.16-year-old Laresce Brown has become the strongest schoolgirl in the UK.She says her success is due to a joint condition,which used to engender great pain.
Laresce has six British and World Champion power-lifting records under her belt.Yet until just two years ago,a condition called hypermobility left her in so much pain that she was unable to take part in sport.Rather than letting her illness limit her life,Laresce took inspiration from her father,and began weight-lifting.This put an end to her pain,and she became a champion in her field.
Laresce loves to dance and she was a keen Morris dancer at the age of eleven.After that,she had to face daily pain in her knees,elbows and hands.She was forced to miss several days of school each month,due to pain and the lack of sleep that caused.
However,she is now effectively cured,since taking up the sport of power-lifting 18 months ago.
Laresce's position as Britain's strongest power-lifter for her age is down to her spirit and determination.To ensure her success,Laresce must train for eight hours a week."I really enjoyed the feeling of power I got and the excitement of people encouraging me to do my best.Becoming a champion was a big surprise-I just started off for fun and I was not expecting anything.So to win six titles was amazing,"she said.
Laresce's father said,"Being the father of such a high-achieving teen,I couldn't be more proud.She's truly the apple of my eye and has worked so hard to be where she is today.She's made us all so happy,and I feel we all enjoy a bright future together thanks to her."

71.What does the underlined word"engender"in Para.1 probably mean?(1 word)Cause
72.What achievements has Laresce got?(no more than 8 words)SixBritishandWorldChampionpower-liftingrecords.
73.What helped her defeat the illness?(no more than 8 words)Herfather'sinspirationandweight-lifting
74.Why did she think winning six titles was amazing?(no more than 15 words)Becauseshestartedoffforfunandwasnotexpectingthesuccess.
75.What do you think of Laresce Brown?(no more than 25 words)Sheisadeterminedgirl.Inspiteofherterribleillness,sheworkshardandsucceedsinthepower-liftingfield..

分析 本文講述了Laresce的故事.Laresce天生就患有關(guān)節(jié)過度活動綜合征,這種病使得她的關(guān)節(jié)是彎曲的,并且很疼痛并伴有脫臼等情況.而Laresce卻充分利用這一切,克服重重困難,獲得眾多殊榮,使得自己成為全英國最強壯的女孩.

解答 71.Cause.
根據(jù)后面第二段的描述Yet until just two years ago,a condition called hypermobility left her in so much pain that she was unable to take part in sport.可知,這種疾病是給她帶來巨大疼痛的,此處的engender應該是導致的意思,即cause.
72.Six British and World Champion power-lifting records.
根據(jù)第二段開頭一句Laresce has six British and World Champion power-lifting records under her belt.可知她取得的成就(即答案)是Six British and World Champion power-lifting records.
73.Her father's inspiration and weight-lifting.(答一方面給1分)
由第二段最后兩句Rather than letting her illness limit her life,Laresce took inspiration from her father,and began weight-lifting.This put an end to her pain,and she became a champion in her field.可知,是她爸爸的鼓勵和舉重運動使她戰(zhàn)勝了疼痛,獲得了成功.故答案為Her father's inspiration and weight-lifting.
74.Because she started off for fun and was not expecting the success.
由第五段Becoming a champion was a big surprise-I just started off for fun and I was not expecting anything.可知,Laresce最初是為了戰(zhàn)勝疾病的疼痛而進行舉重運動的,僅僅是為了娛樂并沒有期待獲獎;所以這是令她感到意外和吃驚的.故答案為Because she started off for fun and was not expecting the success.
75.She is a determined girl.In spite of her terrible illness,she works hard and succeeds in the power-lifting field.
根據(jù)最后一段爸爸對女兒的評價She's truly the apple of my eye and has worked so hard to be where she is today.可知,Laresce應該是一個意志堅定的人,工作努力并在舉重領域取得了驕人的成就,故答案為She is a determined girl.In spite of her terrible illness,she works hard and succeeds in the power-lifting field.

2.Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder how paving(鋪砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater.Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It come from underground.The more roads and parking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Driver climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case,good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live,but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗機)only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

60.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?C
A.Using river water.
B.Throwing batteries away.
C.paving parking lots.
D.Throwing rubbish into lakes.
61.What can be inferred from the text?B
A.All water shortages are due to human behavior.
B.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.
C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.
D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.
62.The last paragraph is intended toD.
A.show us how to fix leaks at home 
B.tell us how to run a dishwasher
C.prove what drinking glass is best for us 
D.suggest what we do to save water at home
63.The text is mainly aboutD.
A.Why paving roads reduces our water 
B.how much we depend on water to live
C.why droughts occur more in dry climates
D.how human activity affects our water supply.
