The Curb-cut Effect (路缘坡效应) refers to the fact that supporting small groups of people often ends up helping much larger ranges of society.
Curb cuts: Easing the walking
In the 1940s, hundreds of thousands of World War Ⅱ soldiers returned home with disabilities. Disappointed by the difficulties they faced, Jack Fisher of Kalamazoo, Michigan, as one of them, asked his city government to build an experimental curb cut-a gentle slope that brings the end of a sidewalk down to meet the level of the street-at the corners of several blocks downtown. A few months later, Fisher reported that even residents without wheelchairs were enjoying the impact of the little slopes.
Reading machines: Getting the message
In 1976, technologist Ray Kurzweil invented a machine for the blind and visually damaged to change images into text that it then read aloud. Smart speakers with those voices are now in roughly one-quarter of US homes. By detecting street signs and house numbers, it is helping build the maps that self-driving cars use to navigate the world.
Closed captions (字幕): Following the conversation
Sears launched the first TV with a built-in equipment that allowed deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to read along with their favorite programs in 1980. In the 1990s, text became increasingly common as DVDs and, later, streaming services added the ability to switch the words on at will. A 2006 survey found that only around 20 percent of the people using captions had hearing problems.
DeafSpace designs: Keeping things quiet
More than 150 designs of the DeafSpace Project came from architect Hansel Bauman. One aim is to clear distracting noises, which can make it difficult for people to use their limited hearing abilities. By keeping conversations and other sound disturbances from walking and jumping around the room, these ways also make it easier for all sorts of students and workers to focus.

With the social media freely available, I've realized how easy it is to become a jealous cow. The truth is that however much I remind myself of the many wonderful things I have in my life, there are still moments when I look at those around me and feel bitterly upset by their success.
It's a horrible thing to admit! In an ideal world, I'd never want to be jealous of another person's achievements and I'd want to celebrate the successes of my friends. But sometimes it's hard, even when we want to. But I don't want to live my life as a jealous cow, and I assume you don't either.
It's easier to celebrate other people's wins if you celebrate your own. How often do we take the time to enjoy our success rather than instantly move onto the next thing we want to achieve Last year, I decided to write a book. It was the only professional goal I set for myself and, while it tired me out, I got there. But as soon as it was done, I started planning my next goal-making the book a success. As I saw other people publishing books, I stopped celebrating and instead began to fear that mine wouldn't compete.
When I told a friend how I was feeling, she reminded me how much easier it is to clap for someone else when we also clap for ourselves. So, I took myself out for lunch, ordered a glass of wine and wrote myself a congratulations card. When I saw all those other books being written on my social media, I felt proud of each and every one of us who had battled to the end of the word count.
The other trick for celebrating other people's success is to realize that there is no limit on success. We can make more, which means that while it might seem as if others have everything and we have nothing, the reality is that life turns quickly and our luck could change at any time. If others have achieved those things, we can too. When we celebrate others, we're acknowledging their achievements but also cheering for ourselves as well as for our hopes and dreams and our belief that we can make them happen. And hopefully, when we do, those people will cheer for us too.
4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Social media is the source of the author's jealousy.
B. Frequent successes on social media encourage envy.
C. It is a pleasure to face others' successes on social media.
D. People tend to be crazy about immediate success online.
5. As far as the author is concerned,what should we do after achieving success
A. Appreciate what's been done.
B. Show it off on social media.
C. Reflect on gains and losses.
D. Waite for others' congratulations.
6. One of the keys to removing jealousy lies in.
A. pursuing those achievable goals
B. devoting yourself to the next goal
C. admitting personal incompetence
D. changing your attitude to success
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. I'm so happy for us!
B. What a considerate friend!
C. I don't care about it!
D. How selfless you can be!

Amazon will let customers at some Whole Foods stores pay with a simple wave of their hands.
The company announced it is bringing palm scanners (掌纹扫描仪) to one of its Whole Foods stores in Seattle, with plans to roll out the new payment system to eight stores in the Seattle area in the coming months. Customers will hold their hands above the scanner for a contact-free payment method.
The scanners are already available (可用的) at one of those Seattle stores — its Madison Broadway location. Amazon plans to increase availability further after this first test run. “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers,” said Arun Rajan, chief technology officer at Whole Foods.
To make use of the new service, customers will give Whole Foods their bank card information to make a connection with their palm print. They can choose to use a different payment method, such as cash, check or other bank cards, in later visits.
Amazon has already tried the system, which it calls Amazon One, at some of its own stores in Seattle, including Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery, which have allowed customers to pick the things they want and then leave the store without checking out, as sensors (传感器) and cameras track their purchases.
That checkout-free technology has been criticized (批评) as a way to avoid the need for workers.
Whole Foods said this new palm scanner will not have any effect on employment in the stores where it is offered.
“Amazon One is an additional payment choice at checkout, and Whole Foods Market Team Members will continue to maintain all of their present responsibilities,” said the company’s statement.
8. What will happen in the next few months
A. Amazon will open more Whole Foods stores.
B. Whole Foods stores in Seattle will have a sale.
C. A new payment method will be promoted worldwide.
D. More palm scanners will be used in Whole Foods stores.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How to use the service. B. Why to use the service.
C. When to use the service. D. Whether to use the service.
10. What does the underlined part “their purchases” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Services they got. B. Challenges they faced.
C. Tools they used. D. Things they bought.
11. What will Whole Foods Market Team Members do
A. Ask for more pay. B. Enjoy their free time.
C. Continue their services. D. Serve major customers.

The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don’t tell me that competitive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an activity involving physical effort and skill.” I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of petition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.
12. What are “e-sports” according to the text
A. Sports events on television screens.
B. Easy sports games for kids.
C. Video computer game competitions.
D. The latest sports in the Olympics.
13. What might the author think of “e-sports”
A. They are not instructive.
B. They should be banned in school.
C. They need too much time and money.
D. They have some negative influence on children.
14. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a new kind of sport.
B. To introduce a competition held in Beijing.
C. To explain the importance of playing sports.
D. To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A brochure.

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。
Recently I graduated from high school, and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers, 40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn't know what to do with them. The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
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。
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.

（江苏省常熟市2021-2022学年高一下学期期中英语试题）
The Curb-cut Effect (路缘坡效应) refers to the fact that supporting small groups of people often ends up helping much larger ranges of society.
Curb cuts: Easing the walking
In the 1940s, hundreds of thousands of World War Ⅱ soldiers returned home with disabilities. Disappointed by the difficulties they faced, Jack Fisher of Kalamazoo, Michigan, as one of them, asked his city government to build an experimental curb cut-a gentle slope that brings the end of a sidewalk down to meet the level of the street-at the corners of several blocks downtown. A few months later, Fisher reported that even residents without wheelchairs were enjoying the impact of the little slopes.
Reading machines: Getting the message
In 1976, technologist Ray Kurzweil invented a machine for the blind and visually damaged to change images into text that it then read aloud. Smart speakers with those voices are now in roughly one-quarter of US homes. By detecting street signs and house numbers, it is helping build the maps that self-driving cars use to navigate the world.
Closed captions (字幕): Following the conversation
Sears launched the first TV with a built-in equipment that allowed deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to read along with their favorite programs in 1980. In the 1990s, text became increasingly common as DVDs and, later, streaming services added the ability to switch the words on at will. A 2006 survey found that only around 20 percent of the people using captions had hearing problems.
DeafSpace designs: Keeping things quiet
More than 150 designs of the DeafSpace Project came from architect Hansel Bauman. One aim is to clear distracting noises, which can make it difficult for people to use their limited hearing abilities. By keeping conversations and other sound disturbances from walking and jumping around the room, these ways also make it easier for all sorts of students and workers to focus.

（2）C.细节理解题。根据Curb cuts：Easing the walking段落下"Jack Fisher of Kalamazoo，Michigan，as one of them（密歇根州卡拉马祖市的Jack Fisher，就是其中一员）"，句中的them指代"World War Ⅱ soldiers returned home with disabilities（二战的伤残士兵）"，由此可知Fisher是一名伤残士兵。故选C。（3）D.细节理解题。根据DeafSpace designs：Keeping things quiet段落下"these ways also make it easier for all sorts of students and workers to focus.（这些方法也使各种各样的学生和工作者更容易集中注意力）"可知，DeafSpace designs这项发明设计有助于集中注意力，由"More than 150 designs of the DeafSpace Project came from architect Hansel Bauman.（DeafSpace项目的150多个设计来自建筑师Hansel Bauman）"可知，这是由Hansel Bauman发明设计的。故选D。

With the social media freely available, I've realized how easy it is to become a jealous cow. The truth is that however much I remind myself of the many wonderful things I have in my life, there are still moments when I look at those around me and feel bitterly upset by their success.
It's a horrible thing to admit! In an ideal world, I'd never want to be jealous of another person's achievements and I'd want to celebrate the successes of my friends. But sometimes it's hard, even when we want to. But I don't want to live my life as a jealous cow, and I assume you don't either.
It's easier to celebrate other people's wins if you celebrate your own. How often do we take the time to enjoy our success rather than instantly move onto the next thing we want to achieve Last year, I decided to write a book. It was the only professional goal I set for myself and, while it tired me out, I got there. But as soon as it was done, I started planning my next goal-making the book a success. As I saw other people publishing books, I stopped celebrating and instead began to fear that mine wouldn't compete.
When I told a friend how I was feeling, she reminded me how much easier it is to clap for someone else when we also clap for ourselves. So, I took myself out for lunch, ordered a glass of wine and wrote myself a congratulations card. When I saw all those other books being written on my social media, I felt proud of each and every one of us who had battled to the end of the word count.
The other trick for celebrating other people's success is to realize that there is no limit on success. We can make more, which means that while it might seem as if others have everything and we have nothing, the reality is that life turns quickly and our luck could change at any time. If others have achieved those things, we can too. When we celebrate others, we're acknowledging their achievements but also cheering for ourselves as well as for our hopes and dreams and our belief that we can make them happen. And hopefully, when we do, those people will cheer for us too.
4. What can we infer from Paragraph 1
A. Social media is the source of the author's jealousy.
B. Frequent successes on social media encourage envy.
C. It is a pleasure to face others' successes on social media.
D. People tend to be crazy about immediate success online.
5. As far as the author is concerned,what should we do after achieving success
A. Appreciate what's been done.
B. Show it off on social media.
C. Reflect on gains and losses.
D. Waite for others' congratulations.
6. One of the keys to removing jealousy lies in.
A. pursuing those achievable goals
B. devoting yourself to the next goal
C. admitting personal incompetence
D. changing your attitude to success
7. What is the best title for the passage
A. I'm so happy for us!
B. What a considerate friend!
C. I don't care about it!
D. How selfless you can be!
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A
【解析】讲述了"我"因为社交媒体中无处不在的成功，而变得容易嫉妒他人。因为"我"在日常生活中并不会这样，所以对此感到非常苦恼。最终在朋友的指导下，学会庆祝自己的成功，破除心魔。
B. 推理判断题。 根据第一段With the social media freely available， I've realized how easy it is to become a jealous cow. The truth is that however much I remind myself of the many wonderful things I have in my life， there are still moments when I look at those around me and feel bitterly upset by their success.（有了免费的社交媒体，我意识到成为一只嫉妒的人是多么容易。事实是，无论我多么提醒自己，我的生活中有许多美好的事情，仍然有一些时刻，当我看着周围的人，感到痛苦的沮丧，他们的成功。）可知，因为社交媒体的随处可及，导致别人的成功频频出现在自己眼前，因此感到嫉妒。所以从第一段可推出社交媒体上的频繁成功鼓励嫉妒。故选B.
（2）A. 细节理解题。 根据第三段的It's easier to celebrate other people's wins if you celebrate your own. （如果你庆祝自己的胜利，那么庆祝别人的胜利就更容易了。）和第四段的When I told a friend how I was feeling，she reminded me how much easier it is to clap for someone else when we also clap for ourselves. （当我告诉朋友我的感受时，她提醒我，当我们为自己鼓掌时，为别人鼓掌是多么容易。）可知，想要为他人的成功感到高兴，得先学会为自己的成果庆祝。所以就作者而言，我们在取得成功后应该欣赏所做的一切。故选A.
（3）D. 推理判断题。 根据最后一段的The other trick for celebrating other people's success is to realize that there is no limit on success.We can make more， which means that while it might seem as if others have everything and we have nothing， the reality is that life turns quickly and our luck could change at any time.（庆祝别人成功的另一个诀窍是认识到成功是没有限制的，我们可以做得更多，这意味着，虽然看起来别人拥有一切，而我们一无所有，但现实是，生活转瞬即逝，我们的运气随时可能改变。）可知，要意识到成功是没有限制的。之前我之所以会感到嫉妒，是因为我看到别人"有"成功的时候认为自己"没有"，实际上，别人"有"的时候，自己也可以"有"成功，这是对成功态度的转变。所以消除嫉妒的关键之一在于改变你对成功的态度。故选D.
（4）A. 标题判断题。 根据最后一段的When we celebrate others，we're acknowledging their achievements but also cheering for ourselves as well as for our hopes and dreams and our belief that we can make them happen.And hopefully，when we do，those people will cheer for us too.（当我们庆祝别人的时候，我们承认他们的成就，同时也为我们自己，为我们的希望和梦想，以及我们相信自己能够实现的信念而欢呼。希望，当我们这样做的时候，那些人也会为我们欢呼。）可知，当我们为别人庆祝成功时，我们也可以为自己将来也可以像他们一样完成梦想感到高兴，而当我们最终实现时，那些人也会来为我们喝彩。即当我为别人喝彩时，也是在为自己喝彩，所以选项A" 我真为我们高兴！"是最好的标题。故选A.

Amazon will let customers at some Whole Foods stores pay with a simple wave of their hands.
The company announced it is bringing palm scanners (掌纹扫描仪) to one of its Whole Foods stores in Seattle, with plans to roll out the new payment system to eight stores in the Seattle area in the coming months. Customers will hold their hands above the scanner for a contact-free payment method.
The scanners are already available (可用的) at one of those Seattle stores — its Madison Broadway location. Amazon plans to increase availability further after this first test run. “We’re always looking for new ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers,” said Arun Rajan, chief technology officer at Whole Foods.
To make use of the new service, customers will give Whole Foods their bank card information to make a connection with their palm print. They can choose to use a different payment method, such as cash, check or other bank cards, in later visits.
Amazon has already tried the system, which it calls Amazon One, at some of its own stores in Seattle, including Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery, which have allowed customers to pick the things they want and then leave the store without checking out, as sensors (传感器) and cameras track their purchases.
That checkout-free technology has been criticized (批评) as a way to avoid the need for workers.
Whole Foods said this new palm scanner will not have any effect on employment in the stores where it is offered.
“Amazon One is an additional payment choice at checkout, and Whole Foods Market Team Members will continue to maintain all of their present responsibilities,” said the company’s statement.
8. What will happen in the next few months
A. Amazon will open more Whole Foods stores.
B. Whole Foods stores in Seattle will have a sale.
C. A new payment method will be promoted worldwide.
D. More palm scanners will be used in Whole Foods stores.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How to use the service. B. Why to use the service.
C. When to use the service. D. Whether to use the service.
10. What does the underlined part “their purchases” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Services they got. B. Challenges they faced.
C. Tools they used. D. Things they bought.
11. What will Whole Foods Market Team Members do
A. Ask for more pay. B. Enjoy their free time.
C. Continue their services. D. Serve major customers.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全食商店采用掌纹扫描仪来让顾客完成支付。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The company announced it is bringing palm scanners (掌纹扫描仪) to one of its Whole Foods stores in Seattle, with plans to roll out the new payment system to eight stores in the Seattle area in the coming months. (该公司宣布，将在西雅图的一家全食店推出掌纹扫描仪，并计划在未来几个月在西雅图地区的八家店推出新的支付系统)”可知，在接下来的几个月里，全食超市将使用更多的手掌扫描仪。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“To make use of the new service, customers will give Whole Foods their bank card information to make a connection with their palm print. They can choose to use a different payment method, such as cash, check or other bank cards, in later visits. (为了利用这项新服务，客户将向Whole Foods提供银行卡信息，以便与他们的掌纹建立联系。在以后的访问中，他们可以选择使用不同的支付方式，如现金、支票或其他银行卡)”可知，第四段主要介绍了如何使用这种支付方式。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第四段“including Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery, which have allowed customers to pick the things they want and then leave the store without checking out, as sensors (传感器) and cameras track their purchases.(包括Amazon Go和Amazon Go Grocery，它们允许顾客挑选他们想要的东西，然后离开商店而不结账，因为传感器和摄像头会跟踪他们的购买)”可知，第5段中划线部分“他们的购买”指的是“他们购买的东西”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Amazon One is an additional payment choice at checkout, and Whole Foods Market Team Members will continue to maintain all of their present responsibilities(Amazon One是结账时的额外支付选择，Whole Foods Market Team Members将继续履行他们目前的所有职责)”可知，Whole Foods Market Team Members将继续履行自己的职责。故选C项。

The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.
In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens.
The games have gone way past kids playing against each other while sitting on a sofa at home. The International, a major competition for players of Dota 2, awarded $24 million in prizes, with the winner taking home almost $11 million. A recent e-sports competition attracted more than 80,000 fans to the Olympic Stadium in Beijing, China.
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of computer games. I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.
And please don’t tell me that competitive gaming is real sport because it requires hand-eye coordination. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, a sport is “an activity involving physical effort and skill.” I don’t think anyone works up much of a sweat playing video games.
Too often, regular sports send kids a kind of petition starts early, when lots of kids are not ready for the ups and downs of games. Tryouts and travel teams come next, giving too many kids the message they are “not good” at sports. So lots of kids quit sports and start playing more video games.
Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.
12. What are “e-sports” according to the text
A. Sports events on television screens.
B. Easy sports games for kids.
C. Video computer game competitions.
D. The latest sports in the Olympics.
13. What might the author think of “e-sports”
A. They are not instructive.
B. They should be banned in school.
C. They need too much time and money.
D. They have some negative influence on children.
14. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce a new kind of sport.
B. To introduce a competition held in Beijing.
C. To explain the importance of playing sports.
D. To call on people to pay more attention to traditional sports.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A brochure.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】本文是议论文。文中作者介绍了电子竞技受欢迎的现象，表达了对此现象的担忧。建议我们看到真正运动的好处，呼吁人们更多地关注传统体育。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In e-sports, players and teams compete in popular video computer games such as Dota 2 and Ovenvatch. Fans fill arenas to watch the action live on huge television screens. (在电子竞技中，玩家和团队在Dota2和Ovenvatch等流行的电子游戏中竞争。粉丝们挤满了球场，在巨大的电视屏幕上观看现场直播。)”可知，电子竞技是电脑游戏(video computer games)的比赛。故选C 项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段 “I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.(我知道有些游戏是有教育意义的，但我认为太多的孩子花太多的时间坐在屏幕前射击外星人。我认为如果孩子们能花更多的时间来阅读或玩真正的运动，比如篮球棒球和足球，那就更好了。)”以及最后一段 “Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.(也许每个年轻人，包括教练、父母和孩子，都应该多想想真正体育运动的好处)”可推知，作者认为电子竞技对孩子们造成了一些消极影响，更倾向孩子们进行真正的体育运动。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.(我认为如果孩子们能花更多的时间来阅读或玩真正的运动，比如篮球、棒球和足球，那就更好了。)”和最后段中的“Maybe everyone in youth sports, including coaches, parents and kids, should think more about the advantages of real sports.(也许每个年轻人, 包括教练、父母和孩子都应该多想想真正体育运动的好处。)”可推知，作者的目的是呼吁人们应该更多地关注真正体育（即传统体育）。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段“The latest sports craze is not even a sport. According to a recent article, “e-sports” are attracting a large number of audience.（最近的运动热潮甚至不是一项运动。根据最近的一篇文章，“电子竞技”正吸引着大量的观众。）”和第四段 “I know that some games can be educational, but I think too many kids spend too much time sitting in front of a screen shooting space aliens. I think it would be better if kids spent more time reading or playing real sports such as basketball, baseball and soccer.(我知道有些游戏是有教育意义的，但我认为太多的孩子花太多的时间坐在屏幕前射击外星人。我认为如果孩子们能花更多的时间来阅读或玩真正的运动，比如篮球棒球和足球，那就更好了。)可知，文中作者介绍了电子竞技受欢迎的现象，表达了对此现象的担忧。建议我们看到真正运动的好处，呼吁人们更多地关注传统体育。即本文讨论了一种社会现象，由此推知，本文应该出自杂志（magazine）里面的文章。故选B项。

【答案】
Dear William,
Have you watched the Beijing Winter Olympic Games recently I’m writing to share with you something exciting.
I was amazed at a lot of exciting moments, among which a freestyle skiing player’s perfect skills and quick mind left the deepest impression on me. She was weaving through the snow with ease when suddenly she almost lost control. But in the blink of an eye, she stopped her skid and rocketed through the rest of her run.
Seeing this, I couldn’t help wondering how she had been going to great lengths to give such a fantastic performance.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Recently I graduated from high school, and as a gift I received a huge hunch of flowers, 40 to be exact! I had so many that I didn't know what to do with them. The next weekend my niece and nephew, Sue and Mike, aged 6 and 7, came and suddenly I had an idea. I might let them give out these flowers to people they met on the street, and in this way they could learn how to be friendly to others. So I told them about my plan and explained that these flowers would make people feel happy and smile. They loved the idea and were eager to have a try. So at once we took every single flower and tied a smile card to it. We then went to the street with the flowers.
The first flower went to a policeman. As soon as she saw the policeman, my niece ran up to him and handed him a flower. His smile was so big, but hers was even bigger!
In no time, we neared the end of our flowers. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, who was really excited to receive the flower. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! She said the chocolate cookies were for them and that she really liked the flower! As they ate the cookies, my niece and nephew looked at me with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
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。
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It turned out to be a great day for us.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most. Just then, my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby. “I think she’s the very person for the flower. She lives a hard life because of bad health. She needs smiles most,” said my nephew. With these words, my nephew, followed by my niece, took the flower up to her. You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled, and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us. We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers, and received a lot of smiles in return. The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves, but also made 40 other people feel happy. I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people. Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!
