I was also heavily bullied before this day by most of my classmates. They would insult kick, and push me down the stairs. Teachers did nothing as the other kids were “paying customers” but I was not. I didn’t want to involve my mother because she was going through a nasty divorce, and I wanted to protect her from more stress.
Then, this day came. These two kids were infamous (臭名昭著) for bullying anything that moved. Younger kids, mostly, as they were cowards. They had never bothered me before that day but had beaten several of my friends and classmates. But one day, as they started bothering my friends and me, I told them to go away. Their eyes lit up as they approached to beat me, and then they made a foolish mistake: they insulted my mother.
I just jumped on them, and it wasn’t pretty though. At some point, I got my ribs bruised by knee kicks by one of them while the other held me. I couldn’t breathe. However, they ended up worse. One had a broken nose and a black eye and was all scratched up with deep scratches. The other had three broken finger. I also trapped his head on my arm and punched him in the head hard that I had bruises on my hands, but he had a big black bruise on the side of his head for a week. I also remember kicking one in the stomach when they were on the floor until two teachers arrived and held me.
Because they had started it, I got no punishment or detention. Teachers were mostly shocked. I think the two boys were also quite embarrassed that a 10-year-old girl had won so they didn’t want to bring too much attention to the fact. But it was too late, dozens of students had seen it (none of which had been willing to defend a younger student from two bullies). The word got around the school. From that moment on, these two did not bother a single soul and kept a very low profile, and they would walk away the moment they saw me.
The best part was that because those two had beaten most of my bullies, my bullies were scared of me, and I was never picked on again. It also taught me that bullying is wrong, but defending yourself is good. I want to clarify that I am not proud to have put two kids in the hospital. What I did was uncontrolled and a bit of an overkill, but it was an unplanned reaction. I am, however, proud to have been the first and only to stand up to these two older boys.

Utah business owner Ed Wertz was looking for a way to stay active after his gym closed early in the pandemic. His wife suggested they try pickleball for a date night one evening. “We’ve played two to three times a week ever since,” the 7l-year-old says.
The couple joins more than 36 million Americans playing what has become the fastest-growing sport in the United States for three consecutive(连续的) years. “In a relatively short time, pickleball has already reached the levels of running, basketball and golf in popularity-and the wide age range of people now playing indicates its growth will likely continue,” says Jim Edwards, a physical therapist and rehabilitation(康复) manager at Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation &. Sports Therapy in Ohio.
Originating in the United States in 1965, pickleball is a racquet(球拍) sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. Played either one on one or two on two on a 20×44-foot court, players use a solid paddle to hit a hollow, perforated(穿孔的)plastic ball back and forth over a net.
As fun as participants say pickleball is to play, the sport’s primary benefit may be that it’s good for the body and mind. “Pickleball truly is a whole-body workout that improves cardiovascular health, assists with weight loss, and can help with balance, coordination, and flexibility,” says Matthew Anastasi, a physician and sports medicine specialist at Mayo Clinic. “It also provides a great opportunity for socialization and can reduce stress and provide mental health benefits.”
The sport was once thought of as a leisurely backyard activity for seniors and retirees, but data shows the average age of participants is now 35—with younger and younger players joining every year. “We now have people of all ages engaging in it, including celebrities like Taylor Swift, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Billie Eilish,” says Emily Hemendinger, a psychiatrist and outpatient clinical director at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Even star athletes like Patrick Mahomes, Serena Williams, LeBron James, and Tom Brady have publicly shown their love of the sport.
28．Which sports has pickleball matched in terms of popularity
A．Football and basketball. B．Baseball and soccer.
C．Running, basketball and golf. D．Swimming and track and field.
29．What can be inferred about pickleball from the text
A．It is primarily played in backyards.
B．Only elderly people enjoy playing it.
C．It requires expensive equipment to play.
D．It has become more and more popular among younger people.
30．What might be the attitude of the celebrities mentioned towards pickleball
A．Positive. B．Worried. C．Indifferent. D．Tolerant.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Ed Wertz: Pickleball Pioneer at 71
B．Pickleball: The New National Pastime
C．Pickleball: Americn’s Fastest-Growing Sport
D．Sporting Trends: Pickleball Sweeps Across America
D
It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time and space. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops.
Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, one of the pioneers of research into how language influences our thoughts, has shown that in English and many other European languages, people typically view the past as being behind us and the future in front of us. But in Aymara, spoken by the Aymara people who live in the Andes in Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Argentina, the word for future means “behind time”. And when the Aymara talk about the future, they tend to make backward gestures, whereas people who speak Spanish, for example, view the future as being ahead of them and make forward gestures.
Languages also encode time in their grammar. In English, for example, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present — we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, which means “it rains tomorrow” — you don’t need to build the future into the grammar. The same is true for many other languages, including Mandarin (普通话).
But does this affect how we think In 2013, Keith Chen, a behavioral economist at the University of California, Los Angeles, set out to test whether people who speak languages that are “futureless” might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages. And he discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future- focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had accumulated 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke, 29% more likely to be physically active, and 13% less likely to be medically obese (肥胖的). This result held even when controlling for factors such as socioeconomic status and religion.
It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us and our passage through it. And while being multilingual won’t necessarily make us a genius, we all can gain a fresh perspective and a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language.
32．What do the Aymara tend to do when they talk about the future
A．They keep stepping forward.
B．They look backwards now and then.
C．They put their hands behind their backs.
D．They point their hand backwards as a gesture.
33．What did Keith Chen want to find out by carrying out the study
A．How the future tense is used in different languages.
B．How language affects the speaker’s sense of the future.
C．How speakers of different languages overcome language barriers.
D．How people distinguish between “futureless” and “future” languages.
34．What can we learn about speakers of futureless languages
A．They are anxious about their future.
B．They can hardly control their weight.
C．They look forward to their retirement.
D．They like to prepare for the future.
35．What does the author encourage us to do in the last paragraph
A．To learn as many languages as possible.
B．To find similarities between languages.
C．To know the world better through a new language.
D．To change the way we compare different languages.

While writing, we may always ask ourselves “Are there any better expressions to convey what we mean ” In a writing class, a teacher tells a golden rule of writing.
Teacher: Show but don’t tell, class. This is the golden rule of creative writing. You need to show the reader (the person who is reading) what you want to say, not tell him, or her.
David (student): 36 Writing is about words, right We can only tell things using words. How can we show them We’re not painters!
Teacher: Stop laughing, everybody, and listen carefully. I’ll give you two examples: ‘He was feeling very worried.’ Now I will say the same thing in a different way: ‘He was biting his fingernails and sweating.’ 37 Which part shows the reader how he was feeling
Anne(student):The second example, the one about the fingernails and the sweating. 38
Teacher: Yes! Excellent! Well done, Anne. You’re a brilliant student.
David: I don’t understand.
Teacher: And here, everybody, we see a very good example of both showing and telling. Not only has David told us that he doesn’t understand, he’s also shown us: with that silly look on his face. 39 Well done!
David: Stop laughing! It’s not funny! Be quiet, Anne!
Teacher: David! Don’t shout at Anne. She’s done nothing wrong. Now, everybody, let’s play a game: 40 . OK Right, let’s go. ‘She was very sad.’ Now, who’d like to speak out your sentence
A．This is showing
B．A lovely example
C．Why not try doing it
D．But how do we do that
E．I’ll tell you something and you have to say it in a different way
F．Now, which example tells the reader about how the man was feeling
G．Look and decide which ‘tell’ sentence matches which ‘show’ sentence

67．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’m smaller than everyone else my age. When I walk in the halls at school, I have to squeeze in between the bigger kids to get by. At the playground, sometimes even little kids try to boss me around. Mia, my best friend, is so tall that when she walks, I have to jog to keep up with her.
I used to try to make myself taller whenever I could, but I was the same height every time. Frustrating! “Don’t worry,” Mum always said. “Being small has its advantages.” “Really I could never notice any.”
One day, Mrs. Alvarez announced to the class that we’d be putting on a spring play. I practiced all the lines. But at the audition, when I walked up to the stage, Mrs. Alvarez cried, “You’ll be perfect as the elf! You’re just the right size for the costume.” I never even got a chance to deliver the lines I’d practiced. Back home I grumbled (咕哝) to Mum that I had been made an elf. But she bet I would be the best elf. To please her, I went to rehearsals, though I only had two lines.
Mia got the lead role — a girl wandering through a magical fairy forest in search of her lost dog. In the last scene, she finds a box under a giant mushroom, and when she opens it, her dog jumps out. Mrs. Alvarez’s dog, Prince, played the dog role. She brought him to all the rehearsals, and when he wasn’t onstage, we got to play with him, but he seemed to like me best.
The night of the show, my first line came early. Since my only other line was toward the end, I waited offstage, playing with Prince. Finally, the grand end came, and Prince was brought onstage inside the box. But the box was found empty. Mrs. Alvarez said, “A burst of noise frightened him away. I see him under the stage!”
注意：1.续写词数应为150字左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Having no other ideas, Mrs. Alvarez nodded to me.

25．推理判断题。由文章第一段“I didn’t want to involve my mother because she was going through a nasty divorce, and I wanted to protect her from more stress.(我不想让我母亲卷入其中，因为她正在经历一场糟糕的离婚，我想保护她免受更多的压力。)”可知，作者是一个充满关心的人；再从最后一段“I want to clarify that I am not proud to have put two kids in the hospital. What I did was uncontrolled and a bit of an overkill, but it was an unplanned reaction. I am, however, proud to have been the first and only to stand up to these two older boys.(我想澄清一下，我并不为把两个大孩子送进医院而感到自豪。我所做的是不受控制的，有点矫枉过正，但这是一种无计划的反应。然而，我很自豪能成为第一个也是唯一一个站出来对抗这两个大男孩的人。)”可知，作者用自己的行动捍卫了尊严，说明是一个“有尊严的”人。故选B项。
26．词句猜测题。由第四段“Because they had started it, I got no punishment or detention. Teachers were mostly shocked. I think the two boys were also quite embarrassed that a 10-year-old girl had won so they didn’t want to bring too much attention to the fact. But it was too late, dozens of students had seen it (none of which had been willing to defend a younger student from two bullies).(因为他们已经开始这件事的，我没有受到惩罚或拘留。老师们大多感到震惊。我认为这两个男孩也很尴尬，因为一个10岁的女孩赢了，所以他们不想引起太多的关注。但为时已晚，已有数十名学生目睹了这一幕（其中没有一人愿意保护一名年幼的学生免受两名欺凌者的伤害）。)”可知，这里表示两位施暴者不想让这件事被知道，但是老师和学生都知道了，所以猜测划线句“The word got around the school”暗示着全校许多学生和老师都知道作者的反击。故选D项。
27．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The best part was that because those two had beaten most of my bullies, my bullies were scared of me, and I was never picked on again. It also taught me that bullying is wrong, but defending yourself is good. I want to clarify that I am not proud to have put two kids in the hospital. What I did was uncontrolled and a bit of an overkill, but it was an unplanned reaction. I am, however, proud to have been the first and only to stand up to these two older boys.(最棒的是，因为这两个人打败过我的大多数欺负者，我的欺负者都害怕我，我再也没有被欺负过。它也教会了我欺凌是错误的，但为自己辩护是好的。我想澄清一下，我并不为把两个孩子送进医院而感到自豪。我所做的是不受控制的，有点矫枉过正，但这是一种无计划的反应。然而，我很自豪能成为第一个也是唯一一个站出来对抗这两个大男孩的人。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲述作者受到欺凌后奋力反抗，从此再也没有受到他们打扰的故事，所以D项Where there’s oppression there’s resistance.(哪里有压迫，哪里就有反抗。)符合文意，号召大家要站起来反对欺凌。故选D项。

29．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The sport was once thought of as a leisurely backyard activity for seniors and retirees, but data shows the average age of participants is now 35—with younger and younger players joining every year.

31．主旨大意题。由文章第二段“The couple joins more than 36 million Americans playing what has become the fastest-growing sport in the United States for three consecutive(连续的) years.

67．“How can we get Prince out from beneath the stage ” Mrs. Alvarez asked. Meanwhile, the audience began to whisper and someone even stretched their necks. Mrs. Alvarez and some girls tried to call Prince’s name, but there was no response. Worried about my little friend and our performance, I visually measured the room under the stage and thought of my size. “Maybe I can get him out. I’m small enough.” My words suddenly cut through the constant calling of “Prince”.
Having no other ideas, Mrs. Alvarez nodded to me. So I crawled inch by inch until I found Prince curled up like a ball. I raised my hand, saying, “It s me, e here.” Luckily, Prince recognized me and nuzzled my fingers. When we came out, I knew it was time to say my last line, “Yes, I am the small elf who can bring good luck!” With thunderous applause hovering over the hall, I saw Mum in the audience, my eyes beaming with joy. She winked at me as if to say, “Look, being small has its advantage, right ”
