Nowadays the festival is observed by dragon boat races and eating zongzi．And we can also get the occasion when we get together with our families．
Have you got any idea of this traditional festival？Looking forward to your reply．
Yours，

(2022·合肥市第二次教学质量检测)
During school life，Muhammad Tariq Khan developed an interest in playing badminton．Unfortunately，the school did not have a coach，so he had to teach himself the sport．His dedication helped him become an under 12 Pakistan Champion at the age of 10．
Coming from a working-class family，Khan had to work in a factory to earn money for his family．But driven by his passion，Khan found out ways to watch other players play matches on the badminton court and he learned various techniques used by experienced players．Meanwhile，Khan practiced badminton by hitting the shuttlecock (羽毛球) against the walls of his home．Seeing his passion for the sport，his family bought him a net，a few wooden rackets，and a pack of shuttlecocks to practice at home．Later，Khan often practiced in an open court．To build up strength，he went on daily morning dash (短跑) by the riverside．
His intense practice sessions had made him so skilled that he courageously attacked and played against the top-ranked players．Soon he became a known player．Although he had a supportive family，he could not take up badminton as a full-time career．In order to help his father with finances and shoulder responsibility for his brothers and sisters，he had to switch his focus to build a long-lasting and stable career to sustain his family．After completing his degree in Bachelor of Commerce from Sindh University in 1964，he joined the Pakistan International Airlines in 1967．As an adult，he acknowledged the importance of his duties and performed them with great enthusiasm．Despite his daily office routine，Khan did not lose his passion for sports and played regularly．
The journey of Khan's achieving his goals is indeed challenging．His family had spent their initial days in a refugee (难民) camp．Khan ever walked long distances from college to his house to avoid using public transport to save cash to buy shuttlecocks．
Today he has been recognized by many reputable Pakistani platforms for his contribution to badminton．His personality is inspirational for many young individuals，who can learn from him the art of balancing life pressures and sticking to a passion!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。Khan自小对羽毛球感兴趣，在家人的支持下，他刻苦训练，逐渐成长为著名的运动员。为了承担家庭责任，他加入航空公司，但他仍然没有失去对羽毛球的热情。

B．He wanted new challenges．
C．He lost his parents' support．

3．What is the author's purpose in writing paragraph 4
A．Stimulate readers' deep interest．
B．Add some background information．
C．Summarize the previous paragraphs．

4．Which of the following can best describe Khan
A．Responsible and determined．
B．Modest and creative．
C．Ambitious and adventurous．
D．Cooperative and honest．
A [推理判断题。通读第二段内容可知，Khan为了养家糊口，不得不在工厂打工，据此可知，他是一个有责任心的人；他通过观看羽毛球运动员的比赛学习各种技巧，并坚持每天早上在河边进行短跑锻炼。据此可知，他是一个有决心的人。]

(2022·长春市质监)
With the weather warming up，the desire to kick-start a new fitness routine is very real．But after being locked indoors for months，you may feel as though you lack exercise． 1 ？ Working out with your partner can be a great way to boost inspiration．Here are our top tips for an exercise routine that's built to last．
Pick something you both love．
If you love Pilates but your partner is all about lifting heavy weights，working out together might seem like an impossible task．While you can both stick to the activities you love， 2 ．Pick an activity you both love，or work towards a fitness goal together，like completing a fun run or half marathon．
3 ．
Getting sweaty doesn't sound like the most comfortable when you're doing activities，but there are things you can do to make it as enjoyable as possible．Invest in active wear that not only feels good but looks good，too．Dressing in workout gear that you're excited about can make a difference on days when the motivation might be lacking．
4 ．It is ideal for wearing during sport or heavy-duty outdoor activities．It's sweat-resistant，with a dry-touch formula，while still offering UVA and UVB coverage．
Be supportive and have fun．
Trying a new outdoor fitness route，or running in front of strangers along the sand，can be a little discouraging，even if you're doing it with the one you love， 5 ．Motivate each other to get out of bed on days and remind each other that you're not working out just for looks．Getting your body moving has long-term benefits that far outweigh what can be seen from the outside．
And remember to have fun: trying something new is tricky but finding something you both love and enjoy means you'll have a healthy habit for life．
A．Feel good with fitness preparation
B．Dress comfortably and properly to feel good
C．So how do you get motivated to get active once more
D．choose some exercises that require very little equipment
E．so remind your partner that you're in it together and stay supportive
F．make time to start something new together or work towards a common goal
G．Sunscreen is a must-have too when you choose to exercise together on the beach
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲了一些建立长期锻炼习惯的妙招。
1．C [结合空后一句“Working out with ...to boost inspiration．”可知，空处应该会就如何激励自己积极锻炼提出疑问，故C项符合语境。空后的问号也是提示。]
2．F [根据本空的特点可知，空处需要选择一个小写字母开头的选项，符合要求的有D项、E项和F项，结合空前的从句“While you can both stick to the activities you love”可知，F项(腾出时间一起开始做一些新的事情，或者朝着一个共同的目标努力)符合语境。]
3．A [根据空处所在位置可知，本空为小标题，结合文中小标题的特点可知，空处应为祈使句，符合要求的选项有A项和B项。根据下面两段中的“Invest in active wear ...Dressing in workout gear”和“offering UVA and UVB coverage”可知，这两段主要讲到了在锻炼时需要做好各种准备，故A项符合语境。]
4．G [根据空后的“It's sweat-resistant ...UVB coverage．”可知，此处讲到的应该是防晒的物品，故G项符合语境。]
5．E [空前讲到尝试一条新的户外健身路线，或者沿着沙滩在陌生人面前跑步，即使和一个你爱的人一起，你也会感到有一点气馁，又结合标题可知，E项(所以提醒你的搭档你们是一起运动的，要给予支持)符合语境。]

(2022·保定市一模)
It was early morning，yet already it had been a very bad day．One thing after another，the downward spiral (螺旋)continued when a large bottle of orange juice slid from my hands and fell to the floor．Glass and sticky juice splashed onto the farthest corners of the kitchen．Shocked，I looked at the mess．Then I dropped heartbrokenly down to the floor，my eyes filling with tears．The tears seemed to show that “today is just not my day”．
Bad day or not，things had to be done．Filled with anxiety and negative mental baggage，I got in my car to drive into town．In the few minutes it took to travel to the bank．I made a decision．I would be careful not to pass my bad day off to anyone else．I would be friendly and polite．And I would not be angry when that careless driver pulled quickly and rudely in front of me，causing me to brake suddenly．
Standing in line at the bank，I was silently talking to myself．Actually，I was scolding myself．All of the events that had accumulated and contributed to my bad day were，in reality，so very minor and trivial．I was overreacting．I was filled with self-pity．I tried to imagine the innumerable，individual lives that had been affected by terrorist attacks，by war，by hurricanes，earthquakes，and other natural disasters．
For the second time that day my eyes filled with tears as I realized how disconnected I felt from all those individuals who were trying to cope with truly miserable experiences in their lives．
They all seemed so distant and unknowable，and this justified and strengthened my belief that I was being self-centered and selfish．I was sure that all my efforts to be a caring and loving person were in vain．
A voice broke through my mental distractions．Somehow I had mechanically finished my bank transaction (交易)and the teller was trying to get my attention．“Young lady，”she was saying，gently．“Young lady！”
注意：1．续写词数应为 150左右；

【写作思路】
文章大意：早晨“我”心情很差，还不慎打碎了一瓶橙汁。但是“我”不打算将糟糕的心情带给他人，当一辆车在我面前转向时“我”会控制自己不生气；在银行排队时“我”想到那些遭受恐怖袭击、战争、飓风、地震及其他自然灾害的人，觉得自己的遭遇是微不足道的。办完银行事务准备离开时，银行出纳员叫住了“我”。
谋篇布局：根据续写第一段的开头语可确定第一段的写作思路——看到“我”的状态，这位银行出纳员对“我”说了什么？她是怎样安慰“我”的？她做出了什么样的举动？“我”的感觉发生了什么变化？
根据续写第二段的开头语可确定第二段的写作思路——“我”的自我怀疑为何消失？“我”感觉到他人的关心和爱护了吗？“我”对这位善良的出纳员有何反应？“我”是否改变了对这一天的看法？
【参考范文】
I looked up and into the eyes of the bank teller，a silver-haired grandmother with gentle beauty．Her keen eyes reflected concern as she leaned forward and softly said，“I don't know what is happening inside of you，but please，believe me when I tell you that—everything will be okay．”And then she did something quite marvelous．My hands were resting on the counter．She took her hands and placed them gently on top of mine．The touch was quick but electric．And at that moment my world shifted．
In the moment of her touching my hands，my self-doubt disappeared．I found understanding and acceptance．I knew that love was being channeled through the heart of this beautiful woman directly into my heart．I was filled with a deep awareness inside me—that I am loved．I was speechless．I smiled and gave her a little nod．It was my first smile of the day．But it would not be my last，as from that moment on my entire day was transformed．
