On an autumn day, a stranger rang a woman’s doorbell. The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.
The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.
Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. Our late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”
Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.
It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.
4. Why did the man come to the woman’s home
A. To donate money to Karen with cancer.
B. To find out the real situation of Karen.
C. To ask for the address of a patient he was to help.
D. To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.
5. How did the man’s family honor his mother
A. By appealing to more people to help others.
B. By continuing to offer help to those in need.
C. By starting Random Acts of Kindness program.
D. By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness
A. The return it expects. B. The way to join it.
C. How it begins. D. How it functions.
7. What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A. No pains, no gains. B. Love me, love my dog.
C. More love more hope. D. Faith can move mountains.
C
By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.
While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.
Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat. So are women and children because of their smaller body size.
While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.
If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase our water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water.
“Most people had better keep drinking water throughout the day, but larger amounts may be needed in the heat for an extended period of time or during exercise. If you are thirsty water—listen to your body. But don’t overdo it,” says Zumpano.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By giving an example. B. By showing the findings.
C. By making a comparison. D. By putting up a question.
9. What effect may drinking too much water have on us
A. Putting on weight. B. Speeding up aging.
C. Cutting sodium in blood. D. Making us more active.
10. What do we know from paragraph 4
A. We must drink less than 48 ounces of water a day.
B. Women can take in more water than men an hour.
C. We can take in little water from fruits and vegetables.
D. We’d better drink about 64 ounces of water every day.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. What is the result of water toxicity
B How much water is too much water
C. Why do you find it difficult to drink enough water
D. How often need we remind ourselves to drink water
D
An international design competition was held in 1955 for an art center to be built. There were 233 entries received from many countries. Danish architect Jorn Utzon won the competition with his unique design of shells that looked like sails on a boat.
The construction began on March 2, 1959 and was expected to be accomplished within 4 years. However, they quickly ran into trouble. The ground was not suitable to hold the weight of the building and huge concrete foundations (混凝土地基) had to be built. Mr Utzon had also made mistakes about how many columns (柱) would be needed to support the roof, thus making the concrete shells at the risk of falling down.
Mr Utzon figured out a new way to disperse the weight of the concrete by making each shell out of a part of a perfect globe. The 14 shells look like a single piece of concrete, but they are actually built across frames (框架) of concrete to hold them in place. They weigh as much as 15 tons each. The highest roof point of the building is 67 m above sea level — the same as a 22-storey high building.
This major correction saved the project but added one decade to the building time. The building consists mainly of two main halls, a number of smaller theaters, performance halls and other additional facilities. Both main halls are housed in relatively large sail-shaped structures, and the smaller performance halls are housed at the ground floor. In particular, the grand organ (风琴) in the concert hall is one of the world’s largest organs containing over 10,000 pipes.
The Sydney Opera House is a great success in the history of architecture. It is not only a world-famous performing arts center and the landmark of Sydney, but also recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of the 20th century. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
12. What was the difficulty when building Sydney Opera House
A. Its columns were at the risk of falling down.
B. There was no satisfactory appearance design.
C. The foundation couldn’t support its huge weight.
D. No suitable site could be found for construction.
13. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Put on. B. Spread out. C. Cut down. D. Look into.
14. How long did it take to build Sydney Opera House
A. 4 years. B. 6 years. C. 10 years. D. 14 years.
15. What does the last paragraph focus on about Sydney Opera House
A. Its position. B. Its history. C. Its general shape. D. Its inner structure.

47. 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。
I lost all my hair at age 2 due to alopecia (脱发). Though all I can do was fit in when growing up, I would look at all the beautiful girls I was surrounded by at schools and in the media and think if I had hair, I would be beautiful, too.
I wore a wig (假发) and was often laughed at for it. They called me “bald (光秃的)”. I had no choice but just to let them laugh at me, because I know it was the fact. I felt like I deserved it, as if losing my hair was somehow my fault.
When I came to the senior high school, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and avoided talking about it. I was expecting a huge change, and I extremely wanted to be like everyone else. I kept my alopecia a secret and was fearful of telling anyone about it.
I remembered one day I built up the courage to tell a girl about my alopecia. Hesitating for a long time, I finally stammered (结结巴巴地说), “I have no hair because of alopecia.” She was shocked because I hid it so well. “I can’t have a date with someone who doesn’t have hair,” she said in a low voice. Disappointed and heart-broken, I turned around and walked away. From then on, I shut down, never wanting to let anyone know my alopecia again. I continued to wear my wig no matter what the weather was and what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world.
Sports became my escape, though. I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home and play basketball for hours every day. I would pretend to make the game-winning shot when I was playing. I had big dreams. I did not think about my alopecia during these moments, but think who I wanted to become and what I wanted to accomplish.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I put all my time and energy into becoming the best player I could be.

推理判断题。根据第一段中“Canada is a vast and diverse country that offers plenty of incredible tourist destinations. From wonderful natural landscapes to lively cities, Canada has something for every traveler.

On an autumn day, a stranger rang a woman’s doorbell. The woman looked through the peephole (窥视孔) and saw a man. At first, she thought it was a salesman who might go away. When he didn’t, she decided to answer and see what he wanted.
The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away. When the woman saw the contents of the envelope, she was shocked. She then rushed out of the apartment to run after the man, but the stranger was gone.
Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from. “Please accept this gift. Our late mother devoted much of her time and resources to helping people through Random (随机的) Acts of Kindness program. One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness. Although we do not know you personally, other members of our community identified you as a deserving recipient of this gift. Please use this money in any way you see fit.”
Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.
It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. The illness left her financially struggling and this amount of money would really help her. We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.
4. Why did the man come to the woman’s home
A. To donate money to Karen with cancer.
B To find out the real situation of Karen.
C. To ask for the address of a patient he was to help.
D. To invite Karen to join Random Acts of Kindness.
5. How did the man’s family honor his mother
A. By appealing to more people to help others.
B. By continuing to offer help to those in need.
C. By starting Random Acts of Kindness program.
D. By raising funds for Random Acts of Kindness.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Random Acts of Kindness
A. The return it expects. B. The way to join it.
C. How it begins. D. How it functions.
7. What does the last paragraph intend to convey
A. No pains, no gains. B. Love me, love my dog.
C. More love, more hope. D. Faith can move mountains.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的一位女士收到了来自于陌生人的随机善举，给她的母亲捐赠了1000美元的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The man asked if a woman named Karen lived at the address. The woman answered that Karen was her mother, but she wasn’t home now. The man smiled, handed an envelope over and then walked away.( 那人问这个地址是否住着一个叫凯伦的女人。那个女人回答说凯伦是她的母亲，但她现在不在家。那人笑了笑，递给他一个信封，然后走开了。)”可知，那位男士在找一位叫Karen的女士，并交给她的女儿一个信封，第三段中的“Inside the envelope was $1,000 in cash and a letter explaining where the money was from.(信封里有1000美元现金和一封信，说明钱的来源。)”以及尾段中的“It turned out that Karen had been battling cancer for three years. (原来，凯伦已经和癌症抗争了三年。)”可知，信封里有1000美元现金，并解释了钱的来源，由此可知，那位男士是来给患癌症的Karen捐款的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One way our family honors her is to keep the tradition with acts of random kindness.(我们家纪念她的一种方式就是保持传统，做一些随机的善举。)”可知，那位男士说纪念母亲的方式就是继续做一些随机善举。故选B项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Random Acts of Kindness does not have to involve the giving of money. It can be as simple as sharing your time with someone lending an ear, or offering a compliment (赞美). The most important part is that the act is done with no expectation of anything in return.(随机的善举并不一定要包括给钱。它可以很简单，比如与倾听的人分享你的时间，或者给予赞美。最重要的是，这种行为是在不期望任何回报的情况下进行的。)”可知，随机善举不一定包括给钱，还可以与他人分享时间，倾听他人，或者给别人赞美，最重要的是不求任何的回报，由此可知，第四段主要讲述的是关于随机善举如何运行的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“We truly never know what someone is going through and how much a random act of kindness might help turn their life around. Surely, $1,000 won’t necessarily meet her need, but it can go a very long way in changing someone’s luck and setting them on a better path.(我们真的不知道一个人正在经历什么，也不知道一个偶然的善举能在多大程度上改变他们的生活。当然，1000美元不一定能满足她的需求，但它可以在很大程度上改变一个人的运气，让他们走上更好的道路。)”可知，随机善举不一定能满足人们的需求，也不知道能有多大程度地改变人们的生活，但是这能改变一个人的运气，使他们走上更好的道路，由此可知，尾段倾向表达的是更多的爱会给人们带来更多的希望。故选C项。

By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much. Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.
While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood, which can be life-threatening, according to Julia Zumpano, an expert at Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition.
Exactly how much is enough for our body depends on a variety of factors, including our weight, age, location and overall health. People in poor health, or active people such as athletes, are at risk of water toxicity, as they tend to drink large amounts of water and lose sodium through their sweat. So are women and children because of their smaller body size.
While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women. And it recommends not drinking more than 48 ounces of water per hour. This includes total water from fruits, vegetables and other drinks besides water.
If you struggle with getting enough water per day, you can try water bottles to help track your water intake. Eating fruits and vegetables can also increase our water intake. You could experiment with adding flavor to improve the taste of your water.
“Most people had better keep drinking water throughout the day, but larger amounts may be needed in the heat for an extended period of time or during exercise. If you are thirsty water—listen to your body. But don’t overdo it,” says Zumpano.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By giving an example. B. By showing the findings.
C. By making a comparison. D. By putting up a question.
9. What effect may drinking too much water have on us
A. Putting on weight. B. Speeding up aging.
C. Cutting sodium in blood. D. Making us more active.
10. What do we know from paragraph 4
A. We must drink less than 48 ounces of water a day.
B. Women can take in more water than men an hour.
C. We can take in little water from fruits and vegetables.
D. We’d better drink about 64 ounces of water every day.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. What is the result of water toxicity
B. How much water is too much water
C. Why do you find it difficult to drink enough water
D. How often need we remind ourselves to drink water
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了每天喝足够的水是非常重要的，但过犹不及，并提出了一些科学的喝水建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第一段首句“By now we all know the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day, but there is such a thing as too much.(到目前为止，我们都知道一天中喝足够的水的重要性，但也有喝水太多的问题。)”首先提出了喝水过多会有不良后果，接着“Earlier this summer, a 35-year-old Indiana woman, died from water toxicity(毒性作用) after drinking too much water in a short period of time, according to a local news report.(据当地新闻报道，今年夏天早些时候，一名35岁的印第安纳州妇女因短时间内饮水过多而死于水中毒。)”举了一位女性喝水过多导致死亡的例子，对前面的话题进行具体说明，由此可推测出，作者通过举例介绍本文话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While drinking enough water is important, overdoing it can lead to low levels of sodium(钠) in the blood（虽然喝足够的水很重要，但过量喝水会导致血液中的钠含量过低）”可知，喝水过多会导致血液中的钠含量降低。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While the gold standard for many years has been eight glasses of 8 ounces(盎司) of water per day, the National Academy of Medicine suggests enough water intake is about 125 ounces for men and about 91 ounces for women.(虽然多年来的黄金标准一直是每天8杯8盎司的水，但美国国家医学院建议，男性的足够摄入水量约为125盎司，女性约为91盎司。)”可知，喝水的黄金标准是每天8杯8盎司的水，即每天64盎司，美国国家医学院的建议是男性每天约125盎司，女性每天约91盎司。所以我们每天最好喝大约64盎司的水。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一、二段指出喝水过多有危害；第三段指出喝水的量由许多因素决定；第四至最后一段讲述了提出科学喝水量、摄入水的建议。由此可推测出，本文以喝水过多为话题展开论述，提出每天要科学控制喝水。所以B项“多少水是太多的水？”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B。
D
An international design competition was held in 1955 for an art center to be built. There were 233 entries received from many countries. Danish architect Jorn Utzon won the competition with his unique design of shells that looked like sails on a boat.
The construction began on March 2, 1959 and was expected to be accomplished within 4 years. However, they quickly ran into trouble. The ground was not suitable to hold the weight of the building and huge concrete foundations (混凝土地基) had to be built. Mr Utzon had also made mistakes about how many columns (柱) would be needed to support the roof, thus making the concrete shells at the risk of falling down.
Mr Utzon figured out a new way to disperse the weight of the concrete by making each shell out of a part of a perfect globe. The 14 shells look like a single piece of concrete, but they are actually built across frames (框架) of concrete to hold them in place. They weigh as much as 15 tons each. The highest roof point of the building is 67 m above sea level — the same as a 22-storey high building.
This major correction saved the project but added one decade to the building time. The building consists mainly of two main halls, a number of smaller theaters, performance halls and other additional facilities. Both main halls are housed in relatively large sail-shaped structures, and the smaller performance halls are housed at the ground floor. In particular, the grand organ (风琴) in the concert hall is one of the world’s largest organs containing over 10,000 pipes.
The Sydney Opera House is a great success in the history of architecture. It is not only a world-famous performing arts center and the landmark of Sydney, but also recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of the 20th century. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
12. What was the difficulty when building Sydney Opera House
A. Its columns were at the risk of falling down.
B. There was no satisfactory appearance design.
C. The foundation couldn’t support its huge weight.
D. No suitable site could be found for construction.
13. What does the underlined word “disperse” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Put on. B. Spread out. C. Cut down. D. Look into.
14. How long did it take to build Sydney Opera House
A. 4 years. B. 6 years. C. 10 years. D. 14 years.
15. What does the last paragraph focus on about Sydney Opera House
A. Its position. B. Its history. C. Its general shape. D. Its inner structure.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了著名的悉尼歌剧院设计构思的征集、建造的过程、建筑的外观和内部结构，以及它的成功和知名。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The ground was not suitable to hold the weight of the building and huge concrete foundations (混凝土地基) had to be built. (地面不适合承受建筑物的重量，必须建立巨大的混凝土地基)”可知，建造悉尼歌剧院的困难在于地基无法支撑建筑物巨大的重量。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Mr Utzon had also made mistakes about how many columns (柱) would be needed to support the roof, thus making the concrete shells at the risk of falling down. (Utzon先生还在需要多少根柱子来支撑屋顶的问题上犯了错误，从而使混凝土贝壳有倒塌的危险)”和下文“the weight of the concrete by making each shell out of a part of a perfect globe (通过将每个贝壳做成一个完美球体的一部分来……混凝土的重量)”可知，为了解决柱子无法支撑屋顶的问题，Utzon先生想出了把贝壳做成完美球体的一部分的新方法。由此推知，这个方法的作用是可以分散混凝土结构的重量，disperse意思应该是“分散”，与spread out意思接近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The construction began on March 2, 1959 and was expected to be accomplished within 4 years. (建造于1959年3月2日开工，预计4年内完工)”和第四段中“This major correction saved the project but added one decade to the building time.(这一重大修正挽救了项目，但增加了10年的建设时间)”可知，悉尼歌剧院原本计划4年内完成建造，但后来增加了10年，因此一共花了14年的时间。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The Sydney Opera House is a great success in the history of architecture. It is not only a world-famous performing arts center and the landmark of Sydney, but also recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world of the 20th century. In 2007, the Sydney Opera House was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List. (悉尼歌剧院在建筑史上是一个巨大的成功。它不仅是世界著名的表演艺术中心和悉尼的地标，而且被公认为20世纪世界七大奇迹之一。2007年，悉尼歌剧院被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录)”可知，悉尼歌剧院在建筑意义上非常成功，具有极大的知名度和美誉，且被列入世界遗产名录。由此可知，本段聚焦于它极高的建筑地位。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是许多喀麦隆学生有兴趣学习汉语，以提高自己的职业技能。
【36题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：近年来，喀麦隆讲汉语的学生人数大幅增加。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据该句中的时间状语in recent years可知，该句应该用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，同时，当the number of＋复数名词作主语时，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has increased/has been increasing。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：许多喀麦隆学生有兴趣学习汉语，以提高自己的职业技能。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，根据固定短语be interested in... 意为“对……感兴趣”可知，此处应为interested。故填interested。
【38题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：在整个非洲，喀麦隆是学习汉语人数最多的国家。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语，根据句中提到的范围In all of Africa以及定冠词the可知，此处应该用形容词的最高级形式。故填highest。
【39题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：我们有近200所中学可以提供汉语课程，”一位喀麦隆官员最近告诉新华社。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处使用关系代词，先行词schools指的是事物，所以使用关系代词which或者that。故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：这位官员说，“现在，又有四所州立大学正式申请开设中文课程。2008年，全国只有一所州立大学授予汉语学位。”分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语来修饰动词applied，formal的副词为formally意为“正式地”符合句意。故填formally。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这位官员说，“现在，又有四所州立大学正式申请开设中文课程。2008年，全国只有一所州立大学授予汉语学位。”分析句子结构可知，official为可数名词单数，结合句意可知，此处的official指的是上文中提到的同一人，所以此处使用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：他强调，由马鲁阿大学和孔子学院共同培养的近300名喀麦隆人现在选择在全国的学校教授汉语。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作宾语，根据固定用法choose to do sth意为“选择去做某事”可知，此处应使用动词不定式形式，且表示主动意义。故填to teach。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：在喀麦隆，很难找到学过汉语的人仍然失业，而其他语言的情况就不一样了。分析句子结构可知，此处为it作形式主语，动词不定式为该句真正的主语，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填It。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在喀麦隆，很难找到学过汉语的人仍然失业，而其他语言的情况就不一样了。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，根据空前的other可知，此处应为名词复数形式。故填languages。
【45题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：在中国毕业后，喀麦隆学生选择继续在中国学习或在喀麦隆从事与中国有关的工作。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，graduate的名词为graduation意为“毕业”，且为不可数名词。故填graduation。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 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。
I lost all my hair at age 2 due to alopecia (脱发). Though all I can do was fit in when growing up, I would look at all the beautiful girls I was surrounded by at schools and in the media and think if I had hair, I would be beautiful, too.
I wore a wig (假发) and was often laughed at for it. They called me “bald (光秃的)”. I had no choice but just to let them laugh at me, because I know it was the fact. I felt like I deserved it, as if losing my hair was somehow my fault.
When I came to the senior high school, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and avoided talking about it. I was expecting a huge change, and I extremely wanted to be like everyone else. I kept my alopecia a secret and was fearful of telling anyone about it.
I remembered one day I built up the courage to tell a girl about my alopecia. Hesitating for a long time, I finally stammered (结结巴巴地说), “I have no hair because of alopecia.” She was shocked because I hid it so well. “I can’t have a date with someone who doesn’t have hair,” she said in a low voice. Disappointed and heart-broken, I turned around and walked away. From then on, I shut down, never wanting to let anyone know my alopecia again. I continued to wear my wig no matter what the weather was and what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world.
Sports became my escape, though. I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home and play basketball for hours every day. I would pretend to make the game-winning shot when I was playing. I had big dreams. I did not think about my alopecia during these moments, but think who I wanted to become and what I wanted to accomplish.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

I put all my time and energy into becoming the best player I could be.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then a marathon totally changed my life.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I put all my time and energy into becoming the best player I could be. I was still laughed at sometimes, but it began to bother me less. I became determined and wasn’t going to let anything slow me down or hold me back from accomplishing my dreams. With time going by, I broke countless school records, and received a scholarship. They were dreams that came true one by one. I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair.
Then a marathon totally changed my life. To check my own athletic ability, I signed up for a marathon of our city at the end of my second year. I trained hard before it. When I was the first to be arriving at the finish line, something flashed inside me. I pulled my wig off my head and crossed the finish line bald, which shocked those on the site. Instead of laughing at me, they celebrated and cheered for my courage and running, not for my being bald. Tears and sweats flowing down my cheeks, I saw the true beauty of myself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事的发展为线索展开，讲述了作者因从小秃头而没有头发，作者一直戴着假发而被别人嘲笑，在上高中时作者将自己脱发的秘密告诉同学后，同学感到很震惊，并且不愿意与作者交往，这让作者从此避而不谈脱发的事情，但是作者利用自己的运动天赋打篮球，跑马拉松，让自己成为想成为的样子，从此作者变得更加的自信和美丽。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我把所有的时间和精力都投入让自己到成为最好的球员上。”可知，第一段可描写作者接下来的变化以及作者在运动方面取得的成绩。
②由第二段首句内容“然后一场马拉松彻底改变了我的生活。”可知，第二段可描写作者合适参加的马拉松比赛以及这次马拉松比赛是如何让作者的生活发生改变的，结合文章原文，该变化应与作者的秃头有关系。
