Thirteen years ago, Ava Kaufman was fighting for her life. Now, thanks to a donor heart and successful organ transplant, she’s alive — and saving others.
“My life changed on a dime.” said Kaufman, who was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo (跆拳道) when an autoimmune disease went undiagnosed and she ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure. On her birthday in 2009, she received a new heart and promised God if she could live to raise her young daughter, she would do everything she could to give back. Today, Kaufman is doing just that.
Kaufman started her non-profit, Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offer transplant patients services that are often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, and housing. She found out that patients often must show financial security and be able to afford transportation and housing near their transplant hospital to get listed. And for some patients hoping to receive a transplant in a big city like Los Angeles, where rents are high and hotels are expensive, the cost alone could be a barrier.
Kaufman runs two housing locations where she houses up to five transplant patients and their families at a time, at no cost, after their surgery. This allows them to remain close to their transplant hospital for the duration of their aftercare. Since she started, Kaufman has helped about 175 people with post-transplant housing, and about 150 more with support services and financial assistance.
At 72, Kaufman works out every day and has no plans to slow down. “I feel like I was chosen to do this,” she said. “When I made a promise to God, I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it turned out to be my non-profit, Ava’s Heart.”
4. What left Kaufman’s life in danger
A. A heart from a donor. B. An undiagnosed disease.
C. An organ transplant. D. A promise to God.
5. What does the underlined phrase “on a dime” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Immediately. B. Slightly. C. Frequently D. Occasionally.
6. What can we infer about Ava’s Heart
A. It has offered housing to 175 patients after their transplant surgeries.
B. It plans to slow down because no profit can be made from the patients.
C. It was started by Kaufman to help the transplant patients with insurance.
D. It makes a great difference to the patients who can’t afford the cost.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Woman Fighting for Life. B. Never Lose Heart in Future.
C. Home is Where the Heart is. D. Heart Donation to Those in Need.
C
In the animal kingdom, killer whales (虎鲸) are social stars: they travel in varied family groups, care for grandchildren, and even imitate human speech. Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.
Some ocean animals maintain social structures — including male dolphins that learn the “names” of their close allies (盟友). But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone (无人机) technology came in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120 meters above a group of killer whales. That was high enough not to trouble the whales, marking the first time drones have been used to study friendly physical contact in whales.
The researchers recorded over 800 instances of physical contact between individuals. Those included hugs, back-to-back and nose-to-nose touches between pairs of whales. Other whales playfully threw young whales into the air, letting them fall into the water. Besides, the drone images revealed clear preferences among individuals, usually for one “best friend” of the same sex and age. Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged 9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each other,” Weiss says.
The young led most of these interactions, rather than the older females or males. Older males in particular were less important. “The young individuals really seem to be the glue holding the groups together,” Weiss says. As individuals age, this gradual loss of “centrality” is known in many social mammals, including humans. That finding is “especially appealing” to Stacey Tecot, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Scientists have long observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says Weiss.
8. What does the underlined word “rival” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Benefit from. B. Be equal to. C. Depend on. D. Be fond of.
9 What is new about Weiss’ research
A. The research method. B. The variety of species.
C. The size of the research team. D. The time spent on the research.
10. What did Weiss find about J49 and J51
A. They have a stable friendship. B. Their interactions are more complicated.
C. Their communicating ways change frequently. D. They prefer playing with young female whales.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. More researchers will be involved in the study.
B. Other scientists take a negative attitude to the research.
C. Researchers will collect more data to study killer whales.
D. Researchers will uncover the social aging trend in animals soon.
D
In the days before the Internet, critical (批判性的) thinking was the most important skill of well-educated people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a social scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring”.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete (竞争) for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose (暴露) us to money-making advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers control their information environment on purpose to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves getting rid of the low-quality yet hard-to-resist (抵制) information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it's better to just keep them out of sight in the beginning.
The next is to make a judgement about whether the information is reliable, so that you can be protected from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the top news media which is widely considered as being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who spread false and hurtful information online on purpose to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By improving our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being hurt by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
12. What is “critical ignoring”
A. The process of spotting and analyzing poor quality data.
B. The skill of not paying attention to online information.
C. The ability to analyze information to come to a conclusion.
D. The art of choosing what information you let into your life.
13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments. D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text
A. Expose their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
15. What is the text mainly about
A Importance of critical ignoring in online search.
B. Ways to practice critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy.
D. Strategies to improve critical thinking among online users.

Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet,her love for ballet had faded years before,and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase:BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔).That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day,she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer,right Besides, boxing is only for boys,and you’re so good at ballet.Lean into your strength,Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted,“and what exactly does ‘only for boys’mean,anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually,touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision,no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout,where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn't come natural to Kelly,but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
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。
Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom.

Thirteen years ago, Ava Kaufman was fighting for her life. Now, thanks to a donor heart and successful organ transplant, she’s alive — and saving others.
“My life changed on a dime.” said Kaufman, who was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo (跆拳道) when an autoimmune disease went undiagnosed and she ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure. On her birthday in 2009, she received a new heart and promised God if she could live to raise her young daughter, she would do everything she could to give back. Today, Kaufman is doing just that.
Kaufman started her non-profit, Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offer transplant patients services that are often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, and housing. She found out that patients often must show financial security and be able to afford transportation and housing near their transplant hospital to get listed. And for some patients hoping to receive a transplant in a big city like Los Angeles, where rents are high and hotels are expensive, the cost alone could be a barrier.
Kaufman runs two housing locations where she houses up to five transplant patients and their families at a time, at no cost, after their surgery. This allows them to remain close to their transplant hospital for the duration of their aftercare. Since she started, Kaufman has helped about 175 people with post-transplant housing, and about 150 more with support services and financial assistance.
At 72, Kaufman works out every day and has no plans to slow down. “I feel like I was chosen to do this,” she said. “When I made a promise to God, I didn’t know what it was going to be, but it turned out to be my non-profit, Ava’s Heart.”
4. What left Kaufman’s life in danger
A. A heart from a donor. B. An undiagnosed disease.
C. An organ transplant. D. A promise to God.
5. What does the underlined phrase “on a dime” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Immediately. B. Slightly. C. Frequently D. Occasionally.
6. What can we infer about Ava’s Heart
A. It has offered housing to 175 patients after their transplant surgeries.
B. It plans to slow down because no profit can be made from the patients.
C. It was started by Kaufman to help the transplant patients with insurance.
D. It makes a great difference to the patients who can’t afford the cost.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. A Woman Fighting for Life. B. Never Lose Heart in Future.
C. Home is Where the Heart is. D. Heart Donation to Those in Need.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Ava Kaufman经历心脏移植手术后成立慈善机构Ava’s Heart以帮助更多移植病人重获新生的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“who was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo when an autoimmune disease went undiagnosed and she ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure (她曾是一名专业舞蹈演员,跆拳道黑带,当时自身免疫性疾病没有被诊断出来,最后因器官衰竭而在重症监护室维持生命)”可知,未能确诊的自身免疫力疾病使Kaufman生命处于危险之中。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“who was a professional dancer and black belt in taekwondo when an autoimmune disease went undiagnosed and she ended up on life support in intensive care with organ failure (她曾是一名专业舞蹈演员,跆拳道黑带,当时自身免疫性疾病没有被诊断出来,最后因器官衰竭而在重症监护室维持生命)”可知,Kaufman曾是一名职业舞者并获得跆拳道黑带段位,但是由于生病,她的人生很快发生了改变,由此可推知,此处指她的人生在生病后立即发生了变化。所以画线短语“on a dime”意为“立即、马上”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Since she started, Kaufman has helped about 175 people with post-transplant housing, and about 150 more with support services and financial assistance. (自她开始工作以来,Kaufman已经为大约175人提供了移植后住房,并为大约150多人提供了支持服务和经济援助)”可知,Kaufman的机构已经为很多病人提供了住所,服务和经济援助,从而推知,Ava’s Heart对不能支付移植费用的病人帮助很大。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,再根据文章第三段“Kaufman started her non-profit, Ava’s Heart. She and her organization offer transplant patients services that are often not covered by insurance, including food, gas, and housing. (Kaufman创办了非盈利组织Ava’s Heart。她和她的组织为移植病人提供医疗保险不包括的服务,包括食物、汽油和住房。)”可知,本文主要介绍了Kaufman在接受了心脏移植的帮助后,创建了非盈利组织——Ava’s Heart,通过为移植病人提供术后住处来帮助他们获得心脏移植的机会。C项“Home is Where the Heart is. (家是心之所在)”符合文意,最适合作为本文标题,选项中的“Home”指的是Ava’s Heart无偿为移植患者提供的住处。故选C。
C
In the animal kingdom, killer whales (虎鲸) are social stars: they travel in varied family groups, care for grandchildren, and even imitate human speech. Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.
Some ocean animals maintain social structures — including male dolphins that learn the “names” of their close allies (盟友). But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone (无人机) technology came in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120 meters above a group of killer whales. That was high enough not to trouble the whales, marking the first time drones have been used to study friendly physical contact in whales.
The researchers recorded over 800 instances of physical contact between individuals. Those included hugs, back-to-back and nose-to-nose touches between pairs of whales. Other whales playfully threw young whales into the air, letting them fall into the water. Besides, the drone images revealed clear preferences among individuals, usually for one “best friend” of the same sex and age. Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged 9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each other,” Weiss says.
The young led most of these interactions, rather than the older females or males. Older males in particular were less important. “The young individuals really seem to be the glue holding the groups together,” Weiss says. As individuals age, this gradual loss of “centrality” is known in many social mammals, including humans. That finding is “especially appealing” to Stacey Tecot, who wasn’t involved in the study. “Scientists have long observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says Weiss.
8. What does the underlined word “rival” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Benefit from. B. Be equal to. C. Depend on. D. Be fond of.
9. What is new about Weiss’ research
A. The research method. B. The variety of species.
C. The size of the research team. D. The time spent on the research.
10. What did Weiss find about J49 and J51
A. They have a stable friendship. B. Their interactions are more complicated.
C. Their communicating ways change frequently. D. They prefer playing with young female whales.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. More researchers will be involved in the study.
B. Other scientists take a negative attitude to the research.
C. Researchers will collect more data to study killer whales.
D. Researchers will uncover the social aging trend in animals soon.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新的研究表明,在“社交接触”方面,虎鲸可以与黑猩猩和猕猴等动物相媲美,甚至可以与人类相媲美。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Now, scientists are adding one more behavior to the list: forming fast friendships. A new study shows killer whales can rival animals such as chimpanzees and macaques (a kind of monkey), and even humans when it comes to the kind of “social touch” that indicates strong bonds.(现在,科学家们又增加了一种行为:快速建立友谊。一项新的研究表明,在“社交接触”这一强烈友谊标志上,虎鲸可以与黑猩猩和猕猴(一种猴子)等动物rival,甚至可以与人类相媲美)”可知,科学家们对于虎鲸的社交能力有了新的发现,它们具有很强的建立友谊的能力。由此可知,这种能力甚至达到可以和黑猩猩、猕猴,甚至人类的水平。由此推知,划线词rival意为“与……相匹敌”,与be equal to意思相近。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But there is little data about wild killer whales. That’s where drone (无人机) technology came in. Michael Weiss, a behavioral ecologist, teamed up with his colleagues to launch drones, flying them 30 to 120 meters above a group of killer whales.(但是关于野生虎鲸的证据很少。这就是无人机技术的用武之地。行为生态学家Michael Weiss和他的同事们一起发射无人机,让它们在一群虎鲸上空30到120米的地方飞行)”可知,Weiss的研究方法是新颖的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Take J49 and J51 — two distantly related young males aged 9 and 6 — for instance. “Every time you see a group of whales, those two are right there interacting with each other,” Weiss says.(以J49和J51为例,它们是两个年龄分别为9岁和6岁的远亲年轻雄性动物。Weiss说道:“每当你看到一群鲸鱼时,你便会发现它们正在相互交流”)”可知,J49和J51之间有长久的友谊。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Scientists have long observed this social aging trend in animals, but there are still many unanswered questions,” she says. That’s certainly on the researchers’ radar. “We’re already gathering new data, with more advanced equipment,” says Weiss.(她说:“科学家们长期以来一直在观察动物的这种社会老龄化趋势,但仍有许多未解之谜。”这当然在研究人员的关注范围内。“我们已经在用更先进的设备收集新的证据,”Weiss说)”可推知,研究人员将会有更多的证据来研究虎鲸。故选C。
D
In the days before the Internet, critical (批判性的) thinking was the most important skill of well-educated people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a social scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring”.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete (竞争) for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose (暴露) us to money-making advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers control their information environment on purpose to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves getting rid of the low-quality yet hard-to-resist (抵制) information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it's better to just keep them out of sight in the beginning.
The next is to make a judgement about whether the information is reliable, so that you can be protected from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the top news media which is widely considered as being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who spread false and hurtful information online on purpose to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By improving our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being hurt by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
12. What is “critical ignoring”
A. The process of spotting and analyzing poor quality data.
B. The skill of not paying attention to online information.
C. The ability to analyze information to come to a conclusion.
D. The art of choosing what information you let into your life.
13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments. D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text
A. Expose their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Importance of critical ignoring in online search.
B. Ways to practice critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Benefits of critical ignoring in the attention economy.
D. Strategies to improve critical thinking among online users.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文,主要讲述了在数字时代练习批判性忽视的技巧。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers control their information environment on purpose to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information. (为了保护自己不受这种影响,Kozyreva呼吁学习批判性忽视的技能,即读者有意控制他们的信息环境,以减少接触虚假和低质量的信息。)”可知,“critical ignoring”指的是用户通过有意控制自己信息接收的环境来减少接触错误信息或低质量信息,故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight in the beginning. (成功的节食者需要把不健康的食物远离他们的家。同样,我们需要建立一个数字环境,让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线。就像节食一样,如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的“新闻”,他肯定会失败。所以,最好在一开始就把它们放在视线之外。)”可知,成功的节食者会让家中没有不健康食品。同理,用户在面对纷杂信息时,有效的方式应该是保证自己的阅读环境,让低质量信息完全不进入自己的视线。因此,作者提到“dieters”是为了类比论证环境的重要性。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention. (回复他们澄清事实可能很有吸引力,但喷子只关心惹恼别人,而不是事实。所以,最好不要用我们的关注来奖励他们的坏行为。)”可知,对于网络喷子,我们最好的办法应该是充耳不闻,故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段为“critical ignoring”话题的引入,第二段对“critical ignoring”这一概念做了解释。第三、四、五段讲述了在数字时代练习批判性忽视的三种技巧,第六段总结了练习批判性忽视的好处。因此,本文主要讲述了在数字时代练习批判性忽视的技巧。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名旅游景点庐山的历史变革。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:事实上,它的历史重要性使得它在1996年被列为世界遗产。分析句子结构可知,宾语从句缺谓语动词,根据“in 1996”可知,用一般过去时,“it”和“honor”之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was honored。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它位于九江市以南约20公里处,向东延伸到木甫山脉。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“runs”,故空处需填非谓语动词作状语,be located表示“位于,坐落于” ,做状语时,省略be动词,用过去分词作状语。故填Located。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大汉阳峰是庐山的最高峰,海拔1474米。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is”,故空处需填非谓语动词作状语,“Dahanyang Peak”和“rise”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。故填rising。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:从北面可以看到长江绝佳的美景,而从南面可以俯瞰鄱阳湖。根据“views”可知,空处需填形容词作定语修饰名词,impressive作形容词,表示“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:早在东汉时期,一位名叫张道龄的著名道教领袖就曾到过这里。根据“well-known Taoist leader”可知,空处需填冠词,此处表示一位道教领袖,故用不定冠词,“well-known”以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:晋朝时,东林寺建在山上,此后许多寺庙开始在山上拔地而起,直到有300多座。分析句子结构可知,“across__________many temples began coming up from then on”是介词+关系代词引导的定语从句,从句缺介词across的宾语,先行词是“mountain”,故用which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,庐山直到宋朝才真正出名,那时新儒学的创始人——朱熹重建了庐山。根据句意可知,此处表示庐山直到宋朝才真正出名,not…until表示“直到……才”,符合句意。故填until。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:到了19世纪,它已经变成了一个非常大的地方,有自己的寺庙、自习室和图书馆。根据“large”可知,空处需填副词作状语,修饰形容词。故填extremely。

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。
Ballet was a way of life in Kelly’s family. Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly’s mom always wanted her to follow in her sister’s footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet,her love for ballet had faded years before,and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school,as Kelly left the dance studio,she walked past the gym,fascinated by boxers(拳击手)training inside the boxing ring. She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved. In fact, she’d long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase:BOXING CLUB TRYOUT(选拔).That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet. Tired of trying to keep up with her sister, Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day,she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion. At first, Serena didn’t understand and thought she was just joking. But when she saw Kelly was serious, she replied, “You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer,right Besides, boxing is only for boys,and you’re so good at ballet.Lean into your strength,Kelly.”
“But this is where I want to put my strength,” Kelly insisted,“and what exactly does ‘only for boys’mean,anyway Boxing is a sport for everyone!”
Gradually,touched by her determination and passion, Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it. Her sister was going to respect her decision,no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout,where she was required to show her footwork and punching(击打)abilities with other candidates. Boxing didn't come natural to Kelly,but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
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。
Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom.
_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then Kelly began her training for the tryout, keeping it a secret from her mom. Ballet was the Kelly way of life, so only her sister knew about boxing, and her mother would have stopped it. Because boxing didn't come naturally to Kelly, she just came to love it, so she often got knocked down during training and suffered. Now that you've made a choice, you can't give up. She has an unyielding spirit and must participate in the qualifiers.
The following Monday, results of the boxing tryout were posted. Kelly was afraid to look at the published list for fear of losing out. Then a woman tapped her on the shoulder and told her she had been chosen. The voice sounded familiar to her. It was her mother. Her sister stood by smiling. Before she knew it, her mother told her she had known she had been boxing. Her mother very much support her. Now through the qualifiers, the family happily went home to celebrate. This really echoes the saying, "Interest is the best teacher".
