Following his father's footsteps, in 1996, 18-year-old Kobe directly joined the NBA after
high school. Although he was not the most gifted basketball player, it was his steely will that
made him one of the most remarkable basketball players. He always practised extremely hard and
finally it paid off. He even scored 81 points with the help of his teammates in a game and
defeated their opponents. However, what made everyone sad was that Kobe died in a plane crash.
同学们都知道 “white lie”,白色的谎言,即“善意的谎言”。其实英文中还有很多与 white
有关的表达,理解起来都不可直译,下面我们就一起来看看吧!
1.a white night 不是指夜晚被月光笼罩呈现白色,而是指“不眠之夜;失眠的晚上 ”。另外
a white night 还可被用来指“护花使者”。
2.a white day,既然有 a white night,那肯定就有 a white day,很显然,这不是“白天”的意思。
a white day 通常是指“吉利的日子;黄道吉日;情人节”等。
3.a white hat 白色的帽子,除了这个意思外,a white hat 还有另一个意思。在美国早期的
电影中,坏人都戴黑色帽子,好人都戴白色帽子,久而久之,a white hat 就用来指代 “好人”。
还有很多与 white 有关的表达,如:white elephant 不是“白色的大象 ”,而是指“华而不实的
东西;昂贵而无用的东西”,还有“white coffee ”不是指“白色咖啡”,而是指“牛奶咖啡”。怎么样,
大家都记住了吗?
Taijiquan
Taijiquan has its original nicknames such as changquan, mianquan and bamenwubu etc.
After the publishing of the book “On Taijiquan” by Wang Zongyue in the years of Qianjia in the
Qing dynasty, it gains the name Taijiquan.
“Taiji” is a term in the Chinese traditional philosophy. It comes from “The Book of
Changes”. In the time of the Song dynasty, Zhou Dunyi wrote the book “Theory of the Taiji
Pictures” and drew “Taiji” into a shape of a circle in his “Taiji Picture”.
The inventors of Taiji are enlightened by this picture and invent taijiquan with the
continuous movement of drawing circles in the air as the constant movements, absorbing the
skills of guiding the breath with the wills, using the stillness to control the motion in the
traditional qigong and Taoist breathing exercises and combining the sets of other kinds of wushu.
The most typical characteristic of taijiquan is to restrain hardness with softness. When
taijiquan is being practiced, the movements are smooth and gently slow. It seems that it is of no
aggression.
But when the taiji masters are in actual combats, they will defeat the opponents cleverly with
the gently slow movements and then strike with the borrowing of the opponents' power and the
sudden hardness.
It is proved by the modern medical science that long-time practice of taijiquan can improve
the functions of people's heart and lung, build up people's physique and even make people live
longer.
Now taijiquan is practiced and loved deeply by people all over the world.
【译文】
太极拳
太极拳原名长拳、绵拳、八门五步等,至清朝乾嘉年间王宗岳著《太极拳论》后,世人
才统一以太极拳名之。
“太极”本是中国传统哲学中的一个术语,源自《周易》。在宋朝时,周敦颐著写《太极
图说》,并在其所绘的“太极图”中把“太极”画成一个圆圈状。
受到图画的启发,太极拳的发明者们,以在空中不停地画圆为太极拳贯穿始终的动作,同
时吸取传统气功、道教呼吸练习中以意引气、以静制动的功法,再结合其他拳术的击打套路,
创制出了太极拳。
太极拳最大的特点就是以柔克刚。太极拳在演练时,动作舒展、柔缓,似乎丝毫不具攻
击力。
但是,当太极拳手进入实战状态时,便会以柔缓的动作巧妙地化解对方的攻击力,然后借
力打力,以突然爆发的刚劲,将对手击倒或击退。
现代医学证实,长期练习太极拳,对于改善人们的心肺功能,增强体质,甚至延年益寿都有
显著的功效。
目前,太极拳深受世界各地人们的练习和喜爱。

M:Didn't you say you wanted to stop drinking coffee for a while?
W:I did. I was trying to drink tea or juice each morning instead of coffee. But it didn't go so well.
Text 2
W:Lucas, have you bought the cellphone you always want?
M:No. I have $500 now, but the phone costs $800. My boss said he would give me a rise next
month.
Text 3
W:Is September really a good month to take cuttings from roses?
M:Well, it's the best month, because you don't need to protect them at all. You don't need a
greenhouse. All you need is a bit of reasonably worked soil.
Text 4
M:Sarah has worked as a journalist for a month, but she couldn't handle it successfully.
W:Why?
M:She wasn't able to finish her stories on time for the strict deadlines.
Text 5
W:We are trying to start a club.
M:How is it going?
W:We hoped for at least fifteen people, but only two signed up.
Text 6
M:Why are you walking up and down in the room? Why not sit down just like me and watch the
talk show about reading on TV?
W:Well, I'm worrying about the children. After all, this is the first time that they have been out
without us.
M:Don't worry. They are grown-ups. What's more, they are just having a party in their friend
Mike's house.
W:I know. But I couldn't help thinking. George, please call them up, and tell them to be careful
and come back earlier.
M:All right. I'll do that.
Text 7
M:Excuse me, are you Anita Handley?
W:Yes, that's me. How can I help you?

Britain.
W:Ah, so you are looking for a British agent to represent you here? Is that right?
M:Yes, exactly.
W:Well, that's perfect. We have already represented a number of companies, so I'm certainly
interested in discussing a partnership of some kind.
M:Oh, what other partnerships do you have?
W:Well, we represent a large Japanese company and we have agreements with agents in Australia
and Greece. We handle all their marketing in Britain.
M:That sounds great. Why don't we sit down and talk a bit more about it?
W:Fine. Let's get a coffee at the same time.
Text 8
W:Good afternoon. Can I help you?

large pot of coffee. And would you please bring them to my room as soon as possible?
W:Yes, sir, no problem.

make it very strong.
W:OK, no sugar, no cream, straight coffee and very black. I'll bring them to you right away.
...
W:Room service. May I come in?
M:Come in. Just put them on the table over there.
W:All right. Here are your sandwiches and your coffee. The sandwiches are $6 each and the
coffee is $3. And here is your bill.
M:Thank you. Can I have it charged to my account, please?
W:Of course. Just sign here. Enjoy your meal.
Text 9
W:What's that, Brett?
M:It's my new e-book reader. I'm just downloading some new books onto it.
W:I haven't bought one yet. I still prefer a printed book.
M:But if you haven't tried it yet, how do you know you wouldn't like it better, Fiona? This e-book
reader can store over 10,000 digital books. Imagine trying to carry an entire library from place to
place.
W:I don't usually read 10,000 books all at once and I like the look of text on a printed page.
M:You mean that faded text on that yellowed page? On an e-book reader, you can adjust the text
size and even line spacing.
W:Can I get all of the out-of-print books on my shelves in the digital format?
M:Well, I'm not sure.
W:Until I can, I'll stick to my low-tech books. Let's take our seats. The class is about to begin.

As you are learning Chinese social problems now, I would like to share the result of a recent
survey with you.
The researchers asked 20,000 young people in 20 countries, including China, the US and the
UK, how they thought and felt about the world. They found that 53 percent of those questioned in
China thought the world was becoming a better place. That's the highest percentage among the
countries in the survey, followed by India with 49 percent.
When asked why they felt hopeful about the future, 93 percent of those Chinese youth said it
was because the advances of technology like medicine, new energy and the Internet might make
life in the future easier.
However, Chinese young people seemed to worry about something else. As much as 82
percent of them worried about climate change. That's a lot more than the number of people who
cared about the environmental problems in other countries. We can see that Chinese young people
are quite different from their previous generations. I hope each of you can write a report on this
problem after class.

In October 2013, Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet. He learned that his biological
mother had died not long before.“My name is Davion and I've been in foster care (寄养照管)
since I was born,” he said, “but I'm not giving up hope.”
The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly, and Only's foster agency received calls from more
than 10,000 people. Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family. But after Only got into
a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family changed their minds.
Back in Florida, Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following
year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption case worker, to make a special request. Only had
known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she
always hesitated. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there,” Going said in an
interview. But last July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going said
something different. “When he asked me, my heart felt this ache and I just knew he was my son,”
she said.
So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family—her two
daughters, Sydney, 21, and Carly, 17, and a son Taylor, 14, who she also adopted out of foster
care. Eventually, after seeing how well the arrangement was working, Going, who had rented a
bigger home, started adopting Only. Only moved in with her family last December.He officially
joined Going's family on April 22, 2015 when the adoption papers went through.
“Today, I feel blessed and honored to have been chosen to be the parent of all my children,”
Going said.
24.By making the appeal, Davion Only hoped that .
A.service in his foster agency would improve
B.his biological mother would come to him
C.a foster agency would accept him
D.he would be adopted by a family
25.Davion Only didn't live with the family in Ohio because .
A.he hated living with them
B.they finally refused to accept him
C.he has received another invitation
D.he often fought with his would-be brothers
26.What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A.Davion Only had fun living in different homes.
B.Connie Going had cared about Davion Only for over ten years.
C.Davion Only had a strong desire to be adopted by Connie Going.
D.Connie Going believed she would give Davion Only what he wanted.
27.After Davion Only joined Connie Going's family, .
A.Connie Going bought a bigger house
B.the four kids often had physical fights
C.Connie Going didn't regret her decision
D.another three kids were later adopted as well
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个渴望有安定家庭的孤儿 Davion Only 在网
上发布请求信息,希望能有家庭收养自己并最后被善良的 Connie 收养的故事。
24.D 推理判断题。根据文章第一段 Davion Only 在网上发布请求信息可以推断出,他希望
能有家庭收养自己。故选 D。
25.B 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子:Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family.
But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family
changed their minds.可知俄亥俄州家庭在 Only 和自己家的儿子打架后,不想收养他了。故选
B。
26.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的句子:Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and
had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she always hesitated.可知,Only 每年都会问
Going 是否能收养他。故选 C 。
27.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, I feel blessed and honored to have been chosen to
be the parent of all my children,” Going said.可知,Connie Going 感到幸福和荣幸,可以推断出
她不后悔收养这个孩子,由此判断选 C。

Sand, sun, fitness, and fun were popular at the LeapFrog's Fit Made Fun Day event on
September 6.With LeapFrog's new LeapBand activity tracker, the event that took place at Santa
Monica Beach in California was to educate kids about staying active.
The LeapBand is LeapFrog's newest product. It is strapped (用带子系好) on the wrist, like a
watch, and features a virtual (虚拟的) pet that kids can care for. Kids do activities such as
walking like a penguin and popping like popcorn to earn points and power-ups, which unlock new
pets and rewards.
“We want to make sure kids understand that getting up, getting active, having fun, and
getting healthy tips can all be part of their daily lives,” says Greg Ahearn, who works for
LeapFrog. “Our goal with the LeapBand is to get kids up and active and having fun.”
The event included creative illness activities for kids and parents. Artie Green and Easy AD,
who are a part of an organization called Hip Hop Public Health, performed songs and taught
dances. There were photo opportunities, healthy snacks, and goodie bags too.
Mia Hamm, a former member of the United States national women's soccer team, is the
official spokesperson for the LeapBand. Hamm took part in Women's World Cups and the
Olympics. When she was about 15, she knew that her sport was soccer. “I loved the way it
challenged me every single day,” she said. Hamm says exercising should be fun “whether it's
playing soccer with your friends or hopping on one foot or dancing”. She advises aspiring athletes
to “go for it. It's a lot of hard work, but it's meaningful”.
Later in the afternoon, the crowd came together to try to break three Guinness World
Records: the most people making sand angels, the most people hopping on one foot, and the most
people doing the swim dance. Participants enjoyed exercising together, dancing, hopping, and
flapping along to music. Better yet, they broke all three records! Hamm hopes these families and
many more continue to take part in fitness activities. “Fun is the most important thing,” she says.
28.The event LeapFrog's Fit Made Fun Day is to .
A.encourage participants to break Guinness World Records
B.introduce LeapFrog's newest product—the LeapBand
C.instruct people, especially kids to keep an active lifestyle
D.find suitable volunteers to care for virtual pets
29.According to the passage, what can we know?
A.Kids don't understand the value of active life.
B.The activities of the event are concerned with fitness.
C.Soccer doesn't mean a lot to Hamm.
D.Ahearn thinks breaking all the three records is the most important thing.
30.The fifth paragraph mainly intends to tell us Mia Hamm .
A.is active in sports activities
B.is a famous woman soccer player
C.acts as the spokesperson for the LeapBand
D.calls on people to do sports activities
31.What's the main purpose of the passage?
A.To sell a product.
B.To provide information about an activity.
C.To promote an activity.
D.To describe an experience.

来快乐的,也是有意义的,因而推断她是想呼吁人们做体育运动,故本题选 D。
31.B 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知,文章讲述了许多人参与了一项旨在运动和快乐的活动,
这项活动让人们得到了运动所带来的快乐。因此推断全文的意图就是提供一项活动的信息,
所以选 B。

Skateboarding has become one of several non-traditional activities that PE teachers around
America are introducing to inspire kids to exercise regularly. Some PE classes feature in-line
skating, yoga, and even rock climbing. Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.
Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to
keep them from becoming overweight. Now, 9 million U.S. children and teens are overweight.
Obesity (肥胖) can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.
“Our children and youths are becoming unhealthy and obese,” says Lindsey Johnson.
“Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movements and gives them new
skills and interests.”
Some schools don't allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous. Cendali, however,
argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger. “We teach students how to do it
and how to do it safely,” he says.
Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons. “Skateboarding teaches kids to believe
that if they stick with something they will finally succeed,” says education expert Richard Sagor
of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills. “It's natural for kids to
want to learn and get better at things,” adds Sagor. “When it comes to skateboarding, they'll try a
trick hundreds of times before they succeed.” That same effort could be made in schoolwork.
Eric Klassen agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for
them. “A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful,” says Klassen.
“We tell students that they shouldn't say ‘I can't do it’ unless they've tried 600 to 900 times.”
32.Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to .
A.encourage students to compete bravely in competitions
B.teach students how to deal with risks
C.prevent students suffering from heart disease later in life
D.help students form the habit of doing sports
33.The underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A.reduces B.increases C.adds D.brings
34.What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding?
A.To succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding.
B.You will succeed in life if you don't give up.
C.Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed.
D.There is no hard work after learning skateboarding well.
35.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The dangerous PE
B.Skills of skateboarding
C.The new PE
D.The change of PE
答案
[语篇解读] 本文为议论文。文章介绍了在学校里开展的一些新的体育项目,如滑板运动、
瑜伽等,以及人们对此的不同观点。
32.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中 Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids
develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight.可知答案为 D。
33.A 词义猜测题。根据第四段后两句可知 Cendali 的观点和其他学校不一样,他认为滑板
运动并不危险,经常练习可以减少危险,因为他们教学生如何做,如何安全地做。故 A 正确。
34.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段中“Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they
stick with something they will finally succeed”可知滑板运动让孩子们相信,如果他们坚持下去,
最终会成功。B 项内容与之相符。故 B 正确。
35.C 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段及全文内容可知,本文写的是在学校里开展的一些新的
体育项目,如滑板运动、瑜伽等,以及人们对此的不同观点。故 C 正确。

(2020 山东济宁北大培文实验学校开学考)
In the future, people will work fewer hours a week than today, right? 36 Too much work
takes up almost all of their time. They are busy and feel very tired. Many people are
asking,“When will I get some free time?”
37 One reason is the increase in the cost of living. In order to support a family today,
many people have to work longer hours or work at a second job. 38 She works in New Jersey
as a social worker from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. In the late afternoon and in the evening, she
sees private customers. On weekends, she works as a caterer(宴会承办者). It costs so much to
support her family, she says, that working less is not impossible.
But there is a second reason for people's overwork. 39 Employees feel that they have no
choice. If they don't agree to work overtime, they are afraid that they will be fired by their
companies. Changes in technology make it easier for people to be working all the time. With
faxes, cellphones, and e-mail, people can work even when they are on holiday.
40 If things continue this way into the future, we may never get to leave the office, at
least not for long. Or people may begin to say, “This is enough. I need my relaxing time.”
A.Take the example of Lily.
B.Most of people's work will be replaced by robots.
C.People working longer hours will be much better paid.
D.More people are working long hours for two reasons.
E.Where will technology and the demands of the workweek take us?
F.Today, many companies are trying to do more work with fewer workers.
G.Actually, more people nowadays are working 10 to 12 hours a day, six days a week than ever
before.
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如今越来越多的人工作时间过长这一现象并分析了
其原因。
36.G 空前提到了将来人们每周的工作时间会比现在少,空后又说太多的工作几乎占据了他
们大部分的时间,这说明现在人们每周工作的时间很长,故 G 选项(事实上,与之前相比,现在
越来越多的人每天工作 10 到 12 小时,每周工作 6 天)符合语境。
37.D 上文提到了人们工作时间过长的问题,根据空后的“One reason”及下一段第一句“But
there is a second reason for people's overwork.”可知,此处是说人们工作时间过长有两个原因,
故 D 项(越来越多的人长时间工作主要有两个原因)符合语境。
38.A 空后说她从早上 8:30 到中午 12:30 做社工,下午晚些时候和晚上她为私人顾客服务,
周末她还要承办宴会,空后的“She”表明此处会以一位女性为例对空前所说的“为了养家糊口,
许多人不得不延长工作时间或从事第二份工作”进行举例说明,故 A 项(以莉莉为例)符合语
境。
39.F 空后说员工们觉得他们别无选择,如果他们不同意加班,他们担心自己会被公司解雇,
这说明公司强制要求员工加班干更多的活,也就是说公司想用更少的人做更多的工作,故 F
项(如今,许多公司试图用更少的员工做更多的工作)符合语境。
40.E 上一段最后两句说技术的发展使人们更容易一直工作,有了传真、手机和电子邮件,
人们甚至在度假时也能工作,空后又说如果这种情况持续下去,我们可能永远都无法离开工
作,至少不会太久,因此此处应该是说技术的发展和常规工作(办公室或车间工作)会如何影响
我们,故 E 项(技术和工作周的需求会把我们带到哪里呢?)符合语境。

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“If Mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble,” I said to myself softly
in a low voice.
I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking
towards the back door, Mum asked without looking up from her “dish washing”, “Where are you
going?” I answered back without hesitation, “I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of
the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence
and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top
speed.
After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby.
Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut
tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunks (泳裤). For about an hour, we played
volleyball happily.
Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going
to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I
wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared that I would help get the ball for them.
I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten
minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an
extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the
ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weeds (海草) tangled (缠绕) up with my
feet and I could not swim properly.
I struggled to keep a float but it was no use. “If I had listened to my parents, this would never
have happened,” I thought silently.
注意:续写的词数应为 150 左右。
答案
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. I told myself I
should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great effort. The weed finally broke. I
swam back to the surface. I saw two young men in canoes racing. I shouted for help. They saw
me and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had been already unconscious.
Paragraph 2:
When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. Jimmy and Bobby told me the two
young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents
with half angry and half worried faces walked in. My parents scolded me for running out of the
house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I will never forget that
terrifying experience. Neither will I want to show off again.
素养强化练(一)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2020 期中)
Five years ago, my wife said she'd found us a tiny but adorable house. It was close to the
historic Abbot Kinney. However, there was a bus depot(公共汽车站)across the street. Hundreds
of buses noisily parked there every night and noisily left every morning. It was awful.
But I was determined to make the best of it. “It is noisy, but it offers us a good way to think
about what is required to make a city work,”I kept telling our 6-year-old daughter.
Then one morning, I woke up to find that the buses were gone! I allowed myself to get
excited. My daughter, however, was unhappy. It took me a minute to understand: she had got
used to the idea of us having a role in city life.
Shortly afterward, a homeless encampment(临时营地)was built there. Then I found out what
was planned for the bus depot—a place to deal with the homeless.
When I told my daughter about the“bridge housing”, a big smile spread across her face. Her
first reaction wasn't fear or selfishness. She understood instantly how special it was that the bus
depot would become a place for people who needed just that to live in.
What story about city life could I tell her then?I tried to keep fruit in the car so that at traffic
lights, we could hand out a banana or an apple. When a woman put up a tent on the sidewalk in
front of our stairs, I filled all her water bottles.
Now we have a couple hundred new neighbours, and I'll be telling anyone who will listen
what an honour it is to live among the homeless. Without my daughter, I might not have come to
the same conclusion.
1.What was wrong with the author's new house in the beginning?
A.It was too small for family use.
B.There was too much noise around.
C.It was too close to a tourist attraction.
D.There were too many neighbours around.
2.Why was the author's daughter unhappy when she found the buses were gone?
A.She thought she lost the role in city life.
B.She didn't like the idea of bridge housing.
C.She had been used to the presence of buses.
D.She couldn't go out of town without buses.
3.What was the author's purpose of keeping fruit in his car?
A.To meet his family's needs.
B.To make his daughter happy.
C.To help the homeless when possible.
D.To thank those who had helped them.
答案
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家搬了新家,新家附近由最初的公共
汽车站变成了无家可归的人的收容所,作者针对此事从不同的角度跟女儿做了解释,并使她
欣然接受这一变化。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的 However, there was a bus depot across the street.
Hundreds of buses noisily parked there every night and noisily left every morning. It was awful.
可知答案为 B 项。
2.A 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的 My daughter, however, was unhappy. It took me a
minute to understand: she had got used to the idea of us having a role in city life.可知答案为 A
项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据文章第六段中的 I tried to keep fruit in the car so that at traffic lights,
we could hand out a banana or an apple.可知,作者会在交通灯的位置给无家可归的人分发水果。
故答案为 C 项。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2020 重庆七校联盟期中联考)
A dog is known as man's best friend because it can enrich its owner's life in many ways.
1 Many teenagers suffer from periods of no self-confidence as they try to deal with
adolescence (青春期).A teenager without self-confidence may be unable to tell his parents about
problems. With a dog around, it can be a huge comfort. A dog offers its unconditional love.
2
All dogs need exercise, so taking his dog for a walk is the perfect opportunity for a teenager
to get outdoors and enjoy fresh air and physical activities. Exercise allows people to take control
of their bodies, which is good for their life. 3 Exercise releases chemicals which improve self-
confidence.
Dogs can help teenagers make new friends. 4 A dog is a great ice-breaker, making the
teenager feel comfortable with people he meets. The more confident the teen becomes when out
and about with his dog,the more his self-confidence will improve.
5 If a teenager is developing dangerous habits such as drinking, more action may be
required. In these cases, professional help should be sought. Parents should ask a health
professional (专业人士) for advice if they believe there's a sign of a far more serious problem.
A.Pets offer unconditional love that can be very helpful.
B.You don't have to worry about hurting your pet's feelings.
C.It simply accepts its owner for who he is and doesn't judge or question its owner.
D.Particularly, someone without self-confidence may find a pet dog helpful.
E.A teen may meet someone of the same age while walking his dog in the park.
F.In some cases, having a dog will not help improve a teenager's self-confidence.
G.Many forms of exercise besides walking can be enjoyed with a dog, such as cycling.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
答案
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了狗对缺乏自信心的孩子有好处。狗可以陪
伴他们,帮助他们交朋友,而且对他们的健康有好处。但如果孩子养成了坏习惯,就要及时求
助专业人士。
1.D 考查段首句。下文 Many teenagers suffer from periods of no self-confidence as they try to
deal with adolescence.与 D 项承接自然,符合语境,前后句的 self-confidence 是原词复现。故选
D 项。
2.C 考查段尾句。前文 A dog offers its unconditional love.(狗能向它的主人提供无条件的
爱。)与 C 项承接自然,前文中的 unconditional 和 C 项中的 doesn't judge or question its owner
都是指狗对主人无条件的信任和接受。故选 C 项。
3.G 考查段中句。G 项与前文 Exercise allows people to take control of their bodies, which is
good for their life.及后文 Exercise releases chemicals which improve self-confidence.逻辑严密,
符合语境,这三处都在谈论锻炼。故选 G 项。
4.E 考查段中句。E 项与前文 Dogs can help teenagers make new friends.承接自然,符合语境,
遇到同龄人和交朋友属于相同话题。故选 E 项。
5.F 考查段首句。这段讲如果青少年养成了非常危险的习惯,家长应该找专业人士寻求帮
助。所以 F 项可以作为段落主题句,放在段首。故选 F 项。

I used to hate running. It seemed too hard, and pushing outside my comfort was not

a serious competitive runner for many years. After our marriage, he wouldn't stop talking about
how much he 2 it.
So he picked it up again, and after about a year, I started to join him at the 3 . Just a few

I rounded a corner, and saw both sides of the street 9 with people watching the race, all
cheering the runners on. I willed my legs to keep going.
Then I looked up and saw the clock. The 10 ticking away gave me an incentive(鼓励). I
knew that if I had 11 finished this race I would have achieved something. So, I straightened

个跑步者,故推测作者在他的带动下也成了跑步者,故选 D 项。

向前冲;come over 过来。结合实际,枪响了以后参加比赛的人应该向前冲,故选 C 项。
6.D mildly 温和地;shallowly 浅地;gently 绅士地,轻柔地;heavily 猛烈地。根据前文的 The
first kilometer was tough.可知开始的一千米对于作者来说很困难,故用“喘着粗气”符合语境,

一定距离处设置一个标记提醒参赛者距离,故选 B 项。

(2020 山东潍坊高二期中)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last year at Christmas time, my wife, three children and I were on our way from Paris to
Nice. Somehow everything went wrong. Our hotels were “tourist traps” and our rented car broke
down. On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dirty hotel in Nice, there was no Christmas
spirit in our hearts.
It was raining and cold when we went out to eat. We found a small restaurant poorly
decorated for the holiday. Only five tables in the restaurant were taken. There were two German
couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony
silence except the sailor. He was writing a letter, and a half-smile lit up his face. In the corner a
piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a
worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet. Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one
table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the
flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas,” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers. “How much are
they?”
“Two francs, sir.”
The sailor put a twenty-franc note in the woman's hand.
“I don't have change, sir,” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”
“No, ma'am,” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek. “This is my
Christmas present for you.”
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
答案
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。记述了圣诞前夕,小饭店里的顾客都没有节日的心情,一位
慷慨的美国水手,使人们沉浸在节日的快乐之中。
[已知线索]前文主要记叙了作者和家人从巴黎赶往尼斯过圣诞节,途中状况不断,等到了尼斯
的时候已经全然没有了过节的心情。作者一家到一个小饭店吃饭,餐馆只有五张桌子有人坐,
后来进来一位卖花的法国老妇人,年轻的美国水手买了一把花……
[续写线索](1)根据第一段所给首句:Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his
hand.可知后文应该是讲述水手拿着花送给了餐馆里吃饭的人们,融化了他们沮丧的心,驱散
了所有不愉快的情绪。
(2)根据第二段首句:The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room.可知
本段应该写节日的气氛淹没了我们所有人。这一切都归功于一位年轻的美国水手的善良和
慷慨。
Paragraph 1:
Then the sailor headed for our table with the flowers in his hand. He handed me a red flower
and greeted us in a cheerful voice, “Merry Christmas!” Before we could say “Thank you”, he had
gone to other tables. In an instant, everyone in the room was presented with flowers, including the
waiter and the piano player. These magical flowers melted our frustrated hearts and blew away all
the unpleasant moods.
Paragraph 2:
The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room. A festival atmosphere
drowned all of us. We merrily danced to the joyful music, singing, laughing and wishing each
other good luck. The old flower woman also joined us. The spirit of Christmas came back to us
again. All this was due to the young American sailor, who, through his kindness and generosity,
brightened our paths.
