When Ma Hu was chosen for a baseball training camp in Beijing, the 12-year-old didn't have the slightest idea how baseball was played or even what a baseball field looked like.
The son of a migrant worker in Ningxia, northwest China didn't have enough warmth of family. In the past, he was a headache for the teachers at school, acting up in the class and fighting with classmates during break time.
"I was lost at the street crossing and got picked up by the camp people" is how Ma describes how he came to join the training camp run by the Power Baseball Angel project. It was launched by Sun Lingfeng, former captain of the men's national baseball team, in 2015 to provide professional training to children from poor households and remote areas.
When Ma joined the camp, it had only 16 boys. They were told those who could get into the national top three would qualify for college admission. Other good players could join professional baseball teams. Still others could work at the base, leaching the newcomers.
Ma, now 15, has become a professional baseball player with a bright future. His story, including his early days when he fought with his teammates and ignored the coaches instructions, is part of an award-winning documentary Tough Out on the young baseball players at the camp, which was released in December 2020.
The documentary focuses on the team of underprivileged and abandoned children who struggled to learn a new sport and build a new life for themselves while fighting low self-esteem（自尊）and pursuing their dreams. It is dedicated to people who work hard silently, seize every opportunity and refuse to admit defeat.
4. Why did Sun Lingfeng start the Power Baseball Angel project
A To promote baseball in big cities of China
B. To train children who are fond of baseball.
C. To select players for the national baseball team
D. To offer poor kids professional baseball training
5. Which word can best describe Ma Hu
A. Promising. B. Independent C. Caring. D. Honest.
6. What does the underlined word "underprivileged" in paragraph 6 probably mean
A Naughty. B. Disadvantaged C. Outgoing. D. Ambitious
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Moving Story of a Baseball Camp Founder
B. An Award-winning Documentary on Baseball
C. Potential Boys Fighting Hard for College Dreams
D. Poor Youngsters Staying Ahead through Baseball
C
Of all the things that have effects on your future，I believe that personal growth is the greatest .Many people talk about sales growth，profit growth, and possession growth，but none of these will happen without personal growth. In fact，I'd like to have you memorize a most important sentence. It is “The key to your future is you yourself.”
There are many things that will help you better your future. If you belong to a strong，dynamic(充满活力的)and progressive company, that will help. Good training will help. Strong leadership will help. If the neighbors stay civil (文明的)，that will help. If your relatives don't trouble you, that will help... All these things will help. We can go on and on with the list；but remember, the things that I've covered above just play minor (次要的)roles in helping you reach a good future. The major cause doesn't lie outside. It lies inside.
Strangely enough, when two different men work in the same company, the first person may earn $1,000 a month, while the second may earn$10, 000 a month. What causes the difference when they have the same job，use the same tools，and get the same training
The cause of the difference lies in believing，in trying, in accepting failures, in thinking, in a smile at people around, and in the ways of dealing with problems. All of these can be major causes of your good future. You can see all these come from inside. In fact, the real difference is you yourself. You are the key to your future. Teens are the most wonderful and important period in life. If you want a great future, begin to improve yourself from now on!

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. He said, “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled, while all thinking but no study makes people lazy.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness(仁) and good manners(礼). He said, “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.”
12. Today we still remember Confucius mainly because________.
A. he lived a poor life in his childhood
B. he traveled with his students from state to state
C. he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period
D. he had wise thoughts and great views about education
13. The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to .
A. poor B. wealthy C. fool D. cute
14. What can we learn from Confucius according to the passage
A. Thinking is very important in study.
B. We can learn everything from others.
C. We should always care for ourselves.
D. Learning music and sports is popular.
15. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. Confucius’ teaching methods
B. A great man with a hard childhood
C. A person who changed Chinese history
D. Confucius-a great teacher and thinker

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was crossing a very busy street when I heard something familiar. I later asked my sister Jeanne how she had known it was me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is unusual, but I guess to a family member it can spread to him or her in some way. It hits their hearts and makes a deep, clear sound that continues for a long time in their minds. I would tell you our story right here.
I come from a broken family. After we grew up, I haven’t seen my other three brothers and sisters for many years. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne was only 14 months older than me,but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch with each other. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’s horse farm in Virginia,where I worked to treat sick or injured animals. I was told that Jeanne got married at 18, and moved to Chicago. And our connection somehow ended since then.
About five years flew by. I was 24 and on a trip with my husband to New York City,a place where I had never been before. It was a very,very large city. I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little town of Driver, Virginia. We went to New York to visit my husband’s cousin. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several other places of interest. I had never seen so many taxis in one place in all my life.
One day, we were crossing a very busy street filled with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I laughed at something my husband said, and I suddenly heard my name called from somewhere behind me: “Chery!” I stopped in the middle of the road. Tears rolled down quickly at once from my face. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne.

When Ma joined the camp, it had only 16 boys. They were told those who could get into the national top three would qualify for college admission. Other good players could join professional baseball teams. Still others could work at the base, leaching the newcomers.
Ma, now 15, has become a professional baseball player with a bright future. His story, including his early days when he fought with his teammates and ignored the coaches instructions, is part of an award-winning documentary Tough Out on the young baseball players at the camp, which was released in December 2020.
The documentary focuses on the team of underprivileged and abandoned children who struggled to learn a new sport and build a new life for themselves while fighting low self-esteem（自尊）and pursuing their dreams. It is dedicated to people who work hard silently, seize every opportunity and refuse to admit defeat.

Of all the things that have effects on your future，I believe that personal growth is the greatest .Many people talk about sales growth，profit growth, and possession growth，but none of these will happen without personal growth. In fact，I'd like to have you memorize a most important sentence. It is “The key to your future is you yourself.”
There are many things that will help you better your future. If you belong to a strong，dynamic(充满活力的)and progressive company, that will help. Good training will help. Strong leadership will help. If the neighbors stay civil (文明的)，that will help. If your relatives don't trouble you, that will help... All these things will help. We can go on and on with the list；but remember, the things that I've covered above just play minor (次要的)roles in helping you reach a good future. The major cause doesn't lie outside. It lies inside.
Strangely enough, when two different men work in the same company, the first person may earn $1,000 a month, while the second may earn$10, 000 a month. What causes the difference when they have the same job，use the same tools，and get the same training
The cause of the difference lies in believing，in trying, in accepting failures, in thinking, in a smile at people around, and in the ways of dealing with problems. All of these can be major causes of your good future. You can see all these come from inside. In fact, the real difference is you yourself. You are the key to your future. Teens are the most wonderful and important period in life. If you want a great future, begin to improve yourself from now on!
8. Among all the things mentioned, which one is the most important in the author's opinion ___

【9题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第二段The major cause doesn't lie outside. It lies inside.可知影响你未来的主要因素是来自于内部因素，而不是外部因素。A. Being determined.有决心；B. Working in good companies.在好的公司工作；C. Having rich relatives.拥有富有的亲戚；D. Getting leaders' help.领导的帮助，B、C、D都属于外部因素，只有A属于内部因素，故选A。

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.
Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. He said, “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled, while all thinking but no study makes people lazy.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness(仁) and good manners(礼). He said, “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.”
12. Today we still remember Confucius mainly because________.
A. he lived a poor life in his childhood
B. he traveled with his students from state to state
C. he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period
D. he had wise thoughts and great views about education
13. The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to .

14. What can we learn from Confucius according to the passage

【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国历史上最伟大的教师孔子的生平事迹和他对教育的贡献。孔子的教诲至今仍被人们所尊重和传承，他告诉我们每个人都有值得学习的东西，并且强调学习必须与思考相结合。他的重要教导是关于仁和礼的，他说“对自己要严格，对别人要宽容”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第一段“Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today. (虽然他生活在2000多年前，但今天人们仍然记得并尊敬他对教育的贡献。)”可知，今天人们还记得并尊敬孔子是因为他对教育的贡献，由此推断出今天我们仍然记得孔子，主要是因为他有明智的思想和伟大的教育观点，故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。划线词所在的句子“but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. (但孔子认为，如果每个人想学习，就应该去上学。)”可知，当时孔子认为每个人都可以去上学，而不是只有贵族家庭的孩子才能上学。故推测划线词“noble”的意思是“富裕的”与B选项为同义词。故选B。

考查定语从句。句意：你应该找到最适合你脚的鞋子。分析句子结构可知，空白前句不缺主宾成分，后句缺少主语，考虑定语从句，句意上来讲后句描述的也正是鞋子，先行词是the shoes，事物属性，无特殊情况可用that或which。故填that /which。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：更重要的是，你应该每跑500到800公里就换一双新鞋。空白处位于句首，修饰整个句子，要使用副词。故填importantly。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：每次跑步后，写下你做了什么和感受如何。这里两个谓语动词、即空白处与 felt 并列，都要用过去式。故填did。
【44题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：每次跑步后，写下你做了什么和感受如何。这里的结构与并列的what you did一致，都是连接词词引导的宾语从句。句意应该是“感觉如何”，考虑方式状语，要用how。故填how。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：或者当你在跑步日期间休息了一次，你也许会觉得很不错。have a rest意为“休息一下”，固定短语。故填a。

【答案】Long Holidays
Generally speaking, long holidays are good for us high school students. During holidays, we have more time to study by ourselves and thus further develop our strengths. Besides, we can take part in some volunteer work, which can help us form a sense of responsibility and prepare us for social life.
However, some students fail to make good use of their time and they are addicted to various computer games, which I believe, is a waste of time.
As far as I am concerned, holidays are a good chance for me to catch up with my classmates. Therefore, I will take advantage of long holidays to review and consolidate what I have learned.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was crossing a very busy street when I heard something familiar. I later asked my sister Jeanne how she had known it was me! She said it was my laugh. I wouldn’t say my laugh is unusual, but I guess to a family member it can spread to him or her in some way. It hits their hearts and makes a deep, clear sound that continues for a long time in their minds. I would tell you our story right here.
I come from a broken family. After we grew up, I haven’t seen my other three brothers and sisters for many years. And that is where this story begins.
My sister Jeanne was only 14 months older than me,but by the time we were teenagers we had lost touch with each other. By age 19, I had moved away from our home in Wisconsin to live on my father’s horse farm in Virginia,where I worked to treat sick or injured animals. I was told that Jeanne got married at 18, and moved to Chicago. And our connection somehow ended since then.
About five years flew by. I was 24 and on a trip with my husband to New York City,a place where I had never been before. It was a very,very large city. I was used to riding my horse to the corner store where everyone knew everyone and everything going on in the quiet little town of Driver, Virginia. We went to New York to visit my husband’s cousin. We went to Little Italy, the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, and several other places of interest. I had never seen so many taxis in one place in all my life.
One day, we were crossing a very busy street filled with people. Everyone was in a hurry. I laughed at something my husband said, and I suddenly heard my name called from somewhere behind me: “Chery!” I stopped in the middle of the road. Tears rolled down quickly at once from my face. I knew without a doubt that it was my sister Jeanne.

3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1:
I shouted back before even turning to look. “Jeanne ”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Since that time，my sister and I have never been separated.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I shouted back before even turning to look. “Jeanne ” It was her,my dear sister. I began pushing people out of my way to get to her. People in the street were looking at us very surprisingly. They started to part, letting us go through. And there we were,standing in the middle of the street,facing each other and smiling. I asked her what she was doing in New York, and she told me everything about herself those years. It was a miracle to see my sister there.
Paragraph 2:
Since that time,my sister and I have never been separated. My sister moved back to Wisconsin with me. We live not far away from each other,and we often visit our father together and look after him quite well. We visit each other as well and talk with each other almost every day. Whenever we are in trouble,we help each other. Many years have passed, and we have got into touch with my other brothers and sisters. We are now living a happy life on the horse farm.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要记叙了作者在长大的过程中逐渐与兄弟姐妹了失去了联系，几年之后的一天，作者和姐姐Jeanne在大街上不期而遇了的故事。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我甚至没来得及回头看就喊了出来，“珍妮”？后文应当描写姐妹二人相见时的情景，她们彼此嘘寒问暖了解对方的情况，感到很开心。第二段开头是：从那时起，我和姐姐再也没有分开过。后文可以描写姐妹二人一起做的事情，与其他兄弟姐妹取得了联系，从而一家人过着幸福的生活。注意要使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了固定短语和主从复合句。如：push people out of my way，go through，get into touch with，live a happy life等固定短语；I asked her what she was doing in New York, and she told me everything about herself those years.该句使用了what引导的宾语从句；Since that time, my sister and I have never been separated.该句使用了since引导的时间状语从句；Whenever we are in trouble, we help each other.该句使用了whenever引导的时间状语从句。
