其次节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
When an egg breaks from outside, a life ends. When an egg breaks from inside, a life begins.
All life’s circumstances can be seen in an egg where in the soft yolk (蛋黄) inside is our 41 and the hard shell outside is the barrier. When the barrier breaks from outside, our desire is crushed, but when it breaks from inside, we 42 a new skill, a new habit and a new life.
I was 22 years old. I did not 43 where the kitchen was in my house, since I had 44 gone into the kitchen before. All of a sudden, I had to move to America to pursue my master’s degree. That is when it 45 me that I had to learn to cook a proper meal in order to 46 . My desire to cook began to 47 , and the yolk began to stir.
The first time I made 48 , it came out like white glue. Within a month of experimenting with different recipes, I 49 the art of making Chinese fried rice and north Indian curry. This breaking of the eggshell from 50 gave me yet another skill for life, 51 . Now that I look back, maybe my wife agreed to marry me for this 52 alone.
It is easy to break an egg from outside, but it is 53 to break it from inside. What is even more difficult is to 54 you from outside and break the egg from inside. That is where the role of a teacher, a mentor or a coach comes in.
As a father, I took it as my responsibility to 55 my son cycling and swimming. In this case, the yolk was the untapped potential of my son and the barrier was his fear of losing 56 . It took months of patience and coaching to help him 57 his fear. It was an uphill task to keep him motivated through failures. 58 , I was glad and relieved when he learned both these essential skills.
The important lesson here is that the egg will be 59 no matter what. Success, when the egg breaks from inside, is more about what you overcome than what you achieve.
Life always throws up 60 . I urge you all learn the instrument that you always wanted to play but have not played so far. As the saying goes, there is never a lock without a key, never a problem without a solution. Persist, believe in yourself and allow your yolk to break through to a new soul, a new you.

A
BEIJING—As China scrambles to respond to the choking smog that has blanketed Beijing in recent weeks, authorities in several major cities are experimenting with carbon trading platforms. The schemes are one effort to get control over greenhouse gases in an economy still hungry for cheap energy.
It has been a persistent concern in recent years, but the high pollution levels in January are sparking a public outcry.
Emissions from coal-fired electricity plants and busy factories are part of the problem that officials hope to get control over through carbon trading platforms. Seven cities are expected to open carbon markets later this year, including Tianjin.
“The government has decided to start with programs because the carbon trading is something new to China,” said David Tang, secretary of the board of the Tianjin Carbon Exchange. “So we want to have a number of programs to explore the use of the market.” said Tang.
China wants to launch a national carbon trading program by 2022. If it is successful, analysts say, the program would be one of the largest in the world and would help the country meet its target of cutting carbon dioxide emissions by 45 percent within seven years.
The platforms allow companies to earn credits for lowering greenhouse gas emissions, which can then be traded. If it works, it would encourage for-profit businesses to invest in green technology.
As public concern builds pressure for the government to find a solution, Wu Changhua, greater China director of the Climate Group, says there is a broad shift under way in how Chinese weigh their quality of life.
China has long put economic growth ahead of environmental concerns, making it the world’s biggest polluter. Carbon trading supporters hope that the markets could be one way to curb pollution and keep the economy growing.
( ) 61. Which of the following is TRUE about carbon trading platforms?
A. They are used to trade various resources.
B. They caused the choking smog in China.
C. They have been in existence for many years in China.
D. The choking smog may promote their development.
( ) 62. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means “ ______”.
A. to make blanket B. to cover something
C. to make something empty D. to be like a blanket
( ) 63. Tang’s attitude towards carbon markets is ______.
A. unknown B. indifferent C. optimistic D. pessimistic
( ) 64. What can we infer from the passage?
A. China will have built a national carbon trading program by 2022.
B. Chinese have lived a life of high quality in all aspects.
C. The markets could slow the development of economy.
D. Standards of life will be changed in China.
( ) 65. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. The choking smoke in China. B. The urge for carbon trading platforms.
C. Greenhouse gases. D. The world’s biggest polluter.
B
Basketball, baseball and soccer are classic sports that people will always enjoy. And yet we keep changing popular games like these in new ways to keep them fresh.
Underwater hockey
This game is played in swimming pools with two teams of six players. Each player has flippers (蛙鞋), a snorkel and a stick used for hitting a puck (圆盘). Each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal. Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member goes up for air. That makes underwater hockey a true team sport.
Chessboxing
A sport can also be revised by mixing it with another game. In chessboxing, two players compete on the chess board and in the ring. First, their minds are tested in a game of chess. Then they use thei
