Dear Chris，
I'm writing to tell you something about the sports meeting we held at the school stadium last Wednesday．
We had all kinds of traditional events this time，during which three boys from my class and I took part in the 4×100m relay race．At the beginning，we were in first place．Unfortunately，I fell down when I took the stick from another boy．Although I stood up and kept on running，we were the last to reach the finishing line．All the audience still cheered loudly for me because I didn't give up．
Do you often take part in the sports meeting at your school？Please write and share with me．
Yours，
Li Hua

On the journey to the lake, a wide excitement took hold of Mom．Mom insisted that we go camping in the next village, her eyes twinkling with excitement．When we arrived at the camping place, Mom couldn't wait to zoom out and excitedly urged us to put up the tent．Then, Mom walked towards the lake and then came an excited scream．Enjoying the beautiful view Mom could hardly contain her excitement．
在去湖边的路上，妈妈兴奋不已。妈妈坚持要我们去隔壁村子露营，她的眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。当我们到达露营地时，妈妈迫不及待地把镜头拉远，兴奋地催促我们搭起帐篷。然后，妈妈朝湖边走去，然后传来一声激动的尖叫。欣赏着美丽的景色，妈妈几乎无法抑制她的兴奋。

我心里又惊又疑。毕竟，我们已经四年没有联系了。“奶奶总是和我分享你的生活。”当我看到她会意的表情时，她的话飘进了我的耳朵。在那个下午，客厅里充满了我们的笑声。我终于明白了奶奶是对的，多亏了她，我们确实更了解对方了。

A
The National Pass walking track is in the Blue Mountains National Park，one of the most well-known national parks in Australia．It is near Wentworth Falls，which is only around 100 kilometres from Sydney (the largest city in Australia)．It is a circular walking track of 4.4 km．It includes a 709m climb and takes around 3.5 hours to complete．Though the transport is not perfect，the National Pass can be readily reached by car or train．
The Grand Stairway is an unforgettable part of the National Pass．This is a zigzag stairway (which looks like a line of Z's joined together) with 173 steps．It has been described as the tallest outdoor stairway in Australia．The Grand Stairway provides a way to the valley below Wentworth Falls．It was built around 1906 by workers who used all kinds of different tools．
Along a great part of this track is the amazing waterfalls which hikers(远足者)pass by，through，and over．These include the Empress Falls．This is a wonderful waterfall in the Valley of the Waters．It goes down a series of rocks to a pool．There are stepping stones for hikers to cross the falls and some shady spots where tired travellers can rest．
In 2002 the National Parks and Wildlife Service started repair work on the National Pass．This work took several years and the project was awarded recognition from UNESCO (United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and the National Trust of Australia．It is worthwhile to choose a guided tour package for the National Pass．The walk costs around $135 per person and requires good health and physical condition．It takes the hiker through valleys，thick forests and ends with a lovely picnic lunch．

Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms—but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits．The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle (乒乓球拍) in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball．
Hamadtou, who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten, was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend．“I was once watching a match between two of my friends，”Hamadtou explains．“They disagreed on a point．When I was in favour of one of them, the other player told me，‘Mind your own business as you will never be able to play．’It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis．”
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport．He said the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body．“I was trying first to use the bat under the arm, and I also tried using other things, which weren't working so well．Finally, I tried using my mouth．It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve．With practicing and playing regularly, this skill improved．”
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the Year．He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships, qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43, and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at 48．
The inspiring athlete says，“The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up whatever you would like to do．”

A new study, out of Japan's Fukuoka University and presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 72nd Annual Meeting in April, 2020, is so interesting．The researchers found that playing ping pong may lead to significant improvements in Parkinson's symptoms．
“Ping pong, which is also called table tennis, is a form of aerobic (有氧的) exercise that has been shown in the general population to improve hand-eye coordination, sharpen reflexes, and stimulate the brain，” said study author Ken-ichi Inoue, M．D．, of Fukuoka University．“We wanted to examine if people with Parkinson's disease would see similar benefits that may in turn reduce some of their symptoms．”
The study included 12 people (an average age of 73) with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's for seven years on average．The participants were tested at the beginning of the study to assess the type and degree of symptoms they had．They then had a ping pong session once a week．The sessions included stretching exercises and specific ping pong exercises led by experienced table tennis players from the department of Sports Science of Fukuoka University．
The symptoms were then assessed again at three months and six months (at the end of the study), and during that period participants experienced significant improvements in speech, handwriting, getting dressed, getting out of bed and walking．For example, it took participants an average of more than two attempts to get out of bed at the beginning of the study compared to an average of one attempt at the end of the study．They also had significant improvements in facial expression, posture, rigidity (僵硬), slowness of movement and hand trembles．
“While this study is small, the results are encouraging because they show ping pong, a relatively inexpensive form of therapy, may improve some symptoms of Parkinson's disease，” said Inoue．“A much larger study is now being planned to confirm these findings．”

Sport is not only physically challenging, but also mentally challenging．Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes．Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated (表明) that it can lead to burnout (精疲力竭)．Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable．
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself．The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place．Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives．Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children．Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves．
Coaches and parents should also pay attention that youth sport participation does not become work for children．The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons．In today's youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport．Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters' performances．Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome．Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism．Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。体育运动既是对人的体力的挑战，也是对人的心理的挑战。在体育运动中，父母和教练应对孩子多鼓励，少批评，让孩子用积极的心态去迎接挑战。
12．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ．
A．to make sport less competitive
B．to increase their sense of success
C．to reduce their mental stress
D．to make sport more challenging
C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout．”可知C项正确。]
13．According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that ．
A．it can help them learn more about society
B．it enables them to find faults in themselves
C．it can provide them with valuable experiences
D．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

B．help children to win every game
C．train children to cope with stress

A．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

40．being allowed/allowed [before既可作介词，也可作连词。before为介词时，allow与主语为动宾关系，应用其动词-ing形式的被动；before作连词时，此处可看作before they are allowed省略了they are的情况。故填being allowed/allowed。]
41．and [分析句子结构可知， fitness tests和hard theory exams为并列结构，作动词pass的宾语，应用and连接。故填and。]
42．are [not only置于句首，后面的句子用部分倒装，谓语动词与主语they保持一致。故填are。]
43．fully [空处作状语，应用副词。故填fully。]
44．which/that [分析句子结构可知， snow and ice为先行词，在后面的定语从句中作主语。故填which/that。]
45．protection [空前有形容词unique修饰，应用名词。故填protection。]

Last Wednesday we had a sports meeting．The weather was fine that day．The students were very excited and the whole school was full of energy．In the girls' 100-metre race, Candy from our class won the second．At first, Candy and Lucy were neck and neck．A girl from Class 5 fell behind them．When Candy ran faster, my classmates stood up and shouted, “Well done！” But finally that girl tried her best and came out first．What a pity! But I thought Candy and Lucy did very well．We were proud of them．
第二节
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。
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions．We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA．When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV．My favourite player was LeBron James．Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions．
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA．Guess what Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more．During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration．Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me？”
Our coach was not so sure．Paul had to try out many times just for making the team．He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him．Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team．However, Paul didn't get a chance．
This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect．They hadn't lost a single game．It would be a tough one．Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he'd been waiting for．
Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other．Pain raced through my body．My knee hurt badly．The team gathered around looking worried．The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points．We had no more players．Just then the coach cast a look at the bench players．
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
At the very moment I advised the coach to give Paul a chance, but he hesitated．
When the game ended, our team won by two points．
[参考范文]
At the very moment I advised the coach to give Paul a chance, but he hesitated． “Please give him a shot, coach！” I insisted．“Though he is short, he has been practising hard and has played well．” Other players also begged our coach．“Let me try, coach! I won't let you down！” Paul said．Finally he agreed．Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court．All of his efforts paid off．The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed．He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering．The scores between the two teams were getting closer and closer．
When the game ended, our team won by two points． All the teammates ran towards Paul to lift him in the air．Surprised and moved, he shed tears of joy．Our coach came up, hitting Paul on the shoulder with wild joy．“Well, Paul, you've just earned your place on the team, big guy！” said the coach．“Thank you all, my dear．Now I have made it．” he made a bow to us．Actually we knew it was himself that he should be grateful to．Continuous efforts will make your life shine some day．

1．A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole．
这与美国男子职业篮球联赛(NBA)赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料贴到电线杆上，建了一个简易篮筐。
2．In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills．
如此日复一日地练习，斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火纯青。
3．Despite his father's successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps．
尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功，但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱，无法延续他父亲的荣耀。
4．That's how I got here．That's how I continue to get better every single day．
这是我走到今天的方法，也是我每一天都能更进一步的原因。
5．Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become．
斯蒂芬·库里激励着所有人去相信自己，他也生动地证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。

Dear Chris，
I'm writing to tell you something about the sports meeting we held at the school stadium last Wednesday．
We had all kinds of traditional events this time，during which three boys from my class and I took part in the 4×100m relay race．At the beginning，we were in first place．Unfortunately，I fell down when I
took the stick from another boy．Although I stood up and kept on running，we were the last to reach the finishing line．All the audience still cheered loudly for me because I didn't give up．
Do you often take part in the sports meeting at your school？Please write and share with me．
Yours，
Li Hua
[片段1]
On the journey to the lake, a wide excitement took hold of Mom．Mom insisted that we go camping in the next village, her eyes twinkling with excitement．When we arrived at the camping place, Mom couldn't wait to zoom out and excitedly urged us to put up the tent．Then, Mom walked towards the lake and then came an excited scream．Enjoying the beautiful view Mom could hardly contain her excitement．
在去湖边的路上，妈妈兴奋不已。妈妈坚持要我们去隔壁村子露营，她的眼睛里闪烁着兴奋的光芒。当我们到达露营地时，妈妈迫不及待地把镜头拉远，兴奋地催促我们搭起帐篷。然后，妈妈朝湖边走去，然后传来一声激动的尖叫。欣赏着美丽的景色，妈妈几乎无法抑制她的兴奋。
[片段2]
A mixture of surprise and suspicion welled up in my mind．After all, we had never been in contact for four years．“Grandma always shares with me your life．” Her words floated into my ears as I met her knowing look．During the afternoon, the living room was brimming with (充满；洋溢着) our laughters．I finally understood Grandma was right, and thanks to her, we indeed knew each other better．
我心里又惊又疑。毕竟，我们已经四年没有联系了。“奶奶总是和我分享你的生活。”当我看到她会意的表情时，她的话飘进了我的耳朵。在那个下午，客厅里充满了我们的笑声。我终于明白了奶奶是对的，多亏了她，我们确实更了解对方了。
