2．Being a high school coach provides wonderful opportunities not only to seek great skill from students in sports，but also to implant in them some valuable life lessons.Donta Green，a committed coach at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania has brought his school team to victory.While part of this is down to physical fitness and practice，an improved general attitude has also played a key role in the team's success.
One way Green has changed his players' behaviors is a strict no-bad-words rule.This applies to players and coaches alike.If anyone uses bad language then they can expect to start doing push ups.In another way，the coach is also addressing the way the high school students dress.No students are to be seen wearing trousers hanging too low and players should walk the corridors of the school in suit and tie.
This is having a positive effect on the students and their academic success，with the team grade average being 3.2.These changes are really affecting the way the players see themselves.As Keyshawn Morsillo，the team's star quarterback，pointed out：
"He's changed us.Everyone on the football team used to have some bad behaviors.But he has showed us the right way to be a successful man.We look up at him and follow his footsteps.Really，he's helping turn us from boys to men."
This is impacting the general attitude for these students not just in the school，but how they're perceived in the wider community，too.
"A lot of the things we do might seem like small things，but they add up to big things.There are things we do that set us apart from other programs.It's just a lot of simple disciplines.That's what is lacking in a lot of our young people." pointed out Green.
While the team continues to impress，it's important to take note on how these small steps can inspire others.We can strengthen in our own children the importance of behaving appropriately.
（1）Why did Donta Green try to change his players' behaviors？
A．To promote their overall quality.
B．To achieve their academic success.
C．To improve their communicative skills.
D．To focus their mind on physical training.
（2）What is the students' attitude to the extra disciplines in the team？
A．Negative.
B．Skeptical.
C．Indifferent.
D．Supportive.
（3）What do Green's words mean in paragraph 6？
A．Young people don't have right attitude to life.
B．Children's daily behaviors should be regulated.
C．All the students in his school behave themselves.
D．Disciplines are more important than skills.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．A coach has brought his school team to victory.
B．A player is changing from a boy to a sport star.
C．A coach is teaching players valuable life lessons.
D．A football team has won the heart of community.组卷：3引用：5难度：0.5 -
3．In September 2022，Artemis Technologies company presented a new type of water ferry（渡船）.The Artemis E-24 is the world's first high-speed，electric，zero-emissions ferry.Currently，the only way to get from Belfast，Northern Ireland to Bangor，Wales without gelling on a plane，is to take a bus or train to Dublin.Ireland and to get on a ferry there.However，that could all change with Artemis E-24 to be applied literally.
The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024.But actually the road to its creation began nearly 20 years ago，in 2005，when Olympic medalist，Dr.Iain Percy，joined the Artemis Racing sailing team.The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil（水翼船）technology that the Artemis Racing America's Cup racing yachts did.It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed，much like an airplane's wings，that make it seem as if it is flying.
Beyond the coolness factor，the reasons why Artemis E-24 uses the hydrofoil technology are practical.Raising the boat above the water，and reducing drug leads to up to a 85 percent reduction in fuel costs.Likewise，the reduced drag also minimizes the impact that running the ship has on shorelines.Reduced drag means lower waves.
The environmental benefit of a transportation technology is obvious to all.However，it also has practical benefits.As Dr.Percy told The Irish World， "this ferry will not only be the cheapest，but also the fastest way in water-based cjye.aiies.It will get commuters（通勤者）to where they are going in 25 mjye.aiutes.In addition，this new initiative will also bring more than 1，000 new jobs into the Belfast area over the next few years. "
The Artemis Ferry is a proof to the fact that new and creative technologies can make huge impacts，not only for the world and the environment，but for the local economics that produce them.
（1）Why is the route from Belfast to Bangor mentioned in paragraph 1？
A．To analyse the new ferry.
B．To make a list of evidence.
C．To come up with an idea.
D．To add the background of the topic.
（2）What does the paragraph 2 mainly show？
A．The shape of the Artemis E-24.
B．The origin of the new invention.
C．The experiences of an Olympic medalist.
D．The effect of the hydrofoil technology.
（3）How can we describe the Artemis E-24？
A．It is light and energy-efficient.
B．It is cheap and fully automatic.
C．It is high-speed and cost-effective.
D．It is oil-burning and multifunctional.
（4）Whal is the best title of the text？

D．Hydrofoil Technology Leads to Reduction in Fuel Costs.组卷：4引用：5难度：0.5
