17-year-old girl Cigla is a freshman at Nagqu No.2 Senior High School in Lhasa， which sit 3，650 meters above sea level.She now plays point guard for the school’s 12-member female basketball team.
“Practice makes perfect.You get used to the altitude when you love the sport and train hard enough，” said the potential basketball star， who has been crazy about the sport since taking it up three years ago.
With outstanding speed and accurate passes， she never fails to shine on the basketball court， even when she competes against the boys.Though she is a freshman in high school， Cigla already has a clear picture of her future — entering a sports college to study basketball.In the eyes of Cigla， who comes from a poor herder’s （牧民的） family in northern Xizang， studying in Lhasa， the most developed city in this area， has made it much easier for her to realize her basketball dream.
With an average altitude of over 4，500 meters.Nagqu is among the most uninhabitable places in Xizang.Low-oxygen environments and extreme weather have long influenced the health of Nagqu students， hampering the development of primary education in the area.
Like Cigla， many students at the school are from poor farmers’ and herders’ families.Dawa Droma， a senior student also on the school’s female basketball team， recalled， “I had never touched a basketball before that game but joined the class team anyway.When I scored and heard my classmates cheer for me， I couldn’t feel more proud.That’s how I fell in love with basketball and why I never looked back.” Reflecting on the influence of basketball on her life， Dawa Droma said the sport had helped her get fit and build up confidence over the years.“Meeting players from different schools has certainly made me a more outgoing person，” she said.
24.What do we know about Cigla from the text？
A.She loves playing basketball but dislikes training hard.
B.She is in Grade One at a senior high school at a high altitude.
C.She’s been crazy about playing basketball since she was 12 years old.

26.What does the underlined word “hampering” in Paragraph 4 mean？

For most of our history， humans have been short， a study has found.Until around 150 years ago， few people grew taller than 170 centimeters.
Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height of people from a wide range of populations.In their latest paper， they combined the existing data of more than 6，000 prehistoric human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations from Europe and the US.They also included their own data on 1，666 present-day school children from Indonesia.
In the prehistoric populations， the maximum height for men was 165 to 170 centimeters， while women topped out at 160 cm.Today， men in England have an average height of around 175 cm， while for women it is about 162 cm.
But there is significant variation between modern countries.The Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly aged children from the US， despite being well nourished.
Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of dominance （统治地位）， so in societies where it is possible to move up through the social classes， evolution favors individuals who reach a greater height.
Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s interpretation.His team previously showed that the best predictor of a child’s height is the height of their parents.This suggests that the influence of other factors， such as social mobility， is limited.
After assessing nearly 163， 000 children living in 55 low- and middle-income countries， Subramanian’s team found that 42.9 per cent had poor nutrition but no sign of stunting （阻碍生长） or other physical indicators of this fact.
This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesn’t reveal itself through stunting.A person’s nutritional condition should be assessed by looking at their diet not their height， says Subramanian.
28.How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research？
A.Studying the skeletons of prehistoric humans.
B.Combining existing data with recent research.
C.Assessing children living in various income areas.
D.Analyzing the results of other scientists’ researches.
29.What’s Subramanian’s attitude towards the explanation of Scheffler and Hermanussen？
A.Worried. B.Cautious.
C.Doubtful. D.Supportive.
30.What can we infer from Subramanian’s study？
A.Poor nutrition delays physical development. B.A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.
C.High social classes can reach a greater height. D.A human’s height has little to do with nutrition.
31.What is the text mainly about？
A.The significance that lies in nutrition. B.The factors that influence humans’ height.
C.The importance that humans attach to height. D.The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.

Long before the term “snowboarding” existed — at least 80 years before it was an Olympic phenomenon — people were flying like surfers down snow-covered hills.The first known instance came in 1917， when 13-year-old Vern Wicklund stood on a sled （雪橇） that he rode down his parents’ backyard in Cloquet， Minnesota.Wicklund patented the idea nearly two decades later but produced only a handful of models.
The sport picked up speed in 1965， when Michigan’s Sherman Poppen created the Surfer by connecting two skis and adding a string at the front to control the direction.Poppen sold close to one million units by 1970.But the real breakthrough happened when Dimitrije Milovich， a Cornell University student， founded Winterstick， the first modern snowboard company， in 1972.With steel edges， solid fiberglass and， most crucially， two belts for one’s feet， Winterstick’s boards allowed riders to fly through more complex topography （地形） than previous riders could do.
Snowboarding went mainstream soon thereafter due to the competition between Jake Burton Carpenter and Tom Sims.Sims， a New Jersey-raised professional skateboarder who was more interested in aerial stunts （空中特技） than in how fast he could slide， founded SIMS Snowboarding in 1976.Carpenter， a race enthusiast from Long Island who was credited with coining “snowboarding”， created Burton Snowboards one year later.
In the 1980s， most North American ski resorts （滑雪场） banned snowboarding， citing insurance liability and the rudeness of too many riders.However， the sport was more accepted in Europe， particularly in France.By the 1990s， though， almost every resort in North America allowed riding.The appearance of the Pipe Dragon， a machine to cut half-pipes through snow， enabled new aerial stunts， and when snowboarding appeared at the 1998 Olympics， the half-pipe was the sport’s biggest draw.
32.What contributions did Milovich make？
A.He created a variety of aerial stunts. B.He did a lot to improve snowboards.
C.He invented the word “snowboarding”. D.He popularized snowboarding in France.
33.How did Sims differ from Carpenter？
A.Sims preferred skills to speed.
B.Sims had his own skateboard company.
C.Sims participated in more competitions.
D.Sims did better in flying through complex topography.
34.What can be learned about the half-pipe？
A.It appeared after the 1998 Olympics. B.It was banned in most European ski resorts.
C.It made snowboarding an appealing sport. D.It could produce incredible amounts of snow.
35.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Vern Wicklund and His Patent B.A Brief History of Snowboarding
C.Snowboarding and the Olympics D.A Newborn Sport in North America

Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.Many teens in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them popular. 36 Here are some of them.
With electronic products becoming more popular， it has become much easier for teens to be by themselves.Kids used to hang out around the town； now they just sit at home. 37 In this case， they’ll learn how to interact and work as a team — something they’ll find useful later in life.
38 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise to lose weight or get into shape.What’s more， these days， it is becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them.A great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games.You can also help them practice， and help with the team fundraising.These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may think your teens aren’t good enough to make their school team. 39 There are plenty of other places besides the school to play team sports.You can also check other “for-fun clubs”.You could look into sports that you may not have thought of.If you do a little research， you are sure to find something your teens will enjoy.
Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house， get moving， make friends， and even get a scholarship to college. 40
A.Take it easy.
B.Take your chance.
C.Sports help address teens’ overweight.
D.Then how can you develop a hobby of doing sports？
E.So why not talk to them about getting into sports today？

G.Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize.

A Girl Without Left Arm
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength.A young girl decided to learn judo （柔道）， though she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
This girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo coach.She was doing well.But she couldn’t understand why， after three months of training， the coach had taught her only one move.
“Coach，” the girl finally asked， “shouldn’t I learn more moves？”
“This is the only move you know， and this is the only move you’ll ever need to know，” the coach replied.
Not quite understanding， but believing in her teacher， the girl kept training.
Several months later， the coach took the girl to her first tournament.She used the move to win several matches and she was now in the finals.
This time， her opponent was bigger， stronger and more experienced.Concerned that the girl might get hurt， the judge called a timeout.She was about to give up the match.
“No，” the coach insisted， “let her continue.”
Soon after the match restarted， her opponent thought little of her and dropped his guard.Instantly， the girl used her move to defeat her opponent.She became the champion.
On the way home， the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in each match.Then the girl asked what was really on her mind.
“Coach， how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
“Two reasons，” the coach answered.“First， you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second， your opponent’s only defense against that move is to catch your left arm.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Hearing what her coach said， the girl was in deep thought.
With tears running down her face， she realized what she lacked was just “one move”.

（Text 2）
W：Can you tell me how much it costs to repair the TV set？
M：Well， the set is very old. It’ll cost about 100 pounds. However， a new one may cost you 120 pounds more or less. So it’s not worth repairing.
（Text 3）
W：How many people are they interviewing？
M：They interviewed sixteen the first time， and now four of us were chosen to go back for the second interview.
W：I hope it goes well. Good luck. I hope you can get the job.
（Text 4）
M：The guests are leaving for New York today on the 11 o’clock flight. It’s too late. So there will be no bus then. We need someone to get them to the airport on time.
W：I’d be happy to， but my car is under repair now.

M：Not really. It’s all because of my professor. We were asked to turn in a paper on Friday morning， but I haven’t started writing even a single word.
W：Why didn’t you write it？
M：I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English exam all the time， so I had no time.

W：Are you serious？

Madonna’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses； Albert Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore them！ I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning， just as Elvis liked to do. On the next table， the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup！ The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London！

第一节
The 28th Autumn Sports Meeting
To raise our awareness of body building， our school held the 28th autumn sports meeting on the playground last Thursday and Friday.
The students selected from every class took part in the sports meeting.They involved themselves in different kinds of events， such as running， the high jump， and so on.They all tried their best and some even broke the records of our school.
The activity was highly spoken of， because it not only provided a chance for us to exercise， but also made us more cohesive.
第二节
Hearing what her coach said， the girl was in deep thought.Head down， she thought of her timidity — she lacked confidence because she had lost her left arm.Frequently， she gave up on herself.But sometimes， she was
heard murmuring to herself， “How can I make it？” “I’m afraid it’s beyond my ability， and the like.” She even refused to keep in touch with old friends for fear of being laughed at.What’s even worse， fluently as she had practiced at home， she did not dare to show up in the front of the classroom.
With tears running down her face， she realized what she lacked was just “one move”.It’s the move to become confident.Fortunately， the girl eventually came to realize that in life she has only one enemy， herself， to defeat.Quite determined， she rejoined her friends and followed her dream to be a painter.Equipped with courage and confidence， the girl became the master of herself， living a wonderful life.

（Text 1）
W：I don’t understand how you got a ticket. I thought you were a
careful driver.
M：I usually am， but I thought I could get through the crossing
before the lights turned red. I was driving too fast so I hit a car.
（Text 2）
W：Can you tell me how much it costs to repair the TV set？
M：Well， the set is very old. It’ll cost about 100 pounds. However，
a new one may cost you 120 pounds more or less. So it’s not worth
repairing.
（Text 3）
W：How many people are they interviewing？
M：They interviewed sixteen the first time， and now four of us were
chosen to go back for the second interview.
W：I hope it goes well. Good luck. I hope you can get the job.
（Text 4）
M：The guests are leaving for New York today on the 11 o’clock flight.
It’s too late. So there will be no bus then. We need someone to get them
to the airport on time.
W：I’d be happy to， but my car is under repair now.
M：In that case， we have to call a taxi.
（Text 5）
W：Mary and I are going to the concert. Do you want to come， too？
M：Sorry， but I’m meeting Jane. She’s writing an article and she
has asked me to help collect materials for it.
W：An article？ About what？
M：Oh， just old churches. Anyway， I’ll see her at the library at
half past two.
（Text 6）
W：Sunshine Hotel， may I help you？
M：Yes， I’m phoning up because I have booked a room for an
overseas visitor who won’t be able to come now and so I’ll have to
cancel it， I’m afraid.
W：What is the name， please？
M：It was a double room booked in the name of Dr. R. Sun from
January 14th， for a week.
W：Ah， yes， I’ve got it. And now you want to change the
booking， do you？
M：I wish I could， but it now appears that he won’t be able to come
at all.
W：Well， sir， I’ll cancel it then. I hope we can help you some other
time.
（Text 7）
W：Dr. Carter’s Office.
M：I’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Carter， please.
W：Okay. Could I have your name please？
M：Yes. My name is Ronald Schuller.
W：And may I ask who referred you to our office？
M：Uh， I drove past your office yesterday and I saw your number.
W：Okay. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4
o’clock？
M：Uh. Do you happen to have an opening in the morning？ I usually
pick up my kids from school around that time.
W：Okay. How about Tuesday or Thursday at 8：00 am？
M：Can it be earlier， like 7：30？
W：No. I’m sorry.
M：Well， in that case， Thursday would be fine.
（Text 8）
W：Look！ Here is the information about the evening courses.
M：Flower arranging. That’s a real course. Why would someone want
to do that？
W：You watch TV for 3 hours every Saturday and many people find
that boring too.
M：OK， relax. Let’s see what else is there.
W：Photography. That looks interesting.
M：But look at the price. I don’t think I can afford it. Web design is
pretty cheap. What do you think？
W：I don’t want to work on the computer in the evening.
M：Hey， look， how about Indian cooking？ It starts this week. A
little bit expensive.
W：You know how much I love Indian food. I’ll call them tomorrow to
see if they want new students.
M：OK.
（Text 9）
W：Hey， Jack. Are you going to the party in town tonight？
M：No， I’d better stay at home.
W：Why？ It is your favourite.
M：Well ... no.
W：Jack， are you yourself？ What has happened？ Are you having
a fever？
M：Not really. It’s all because of my professor. We were asked to turn
in a paper on Friday morning， but I haven’t started writing even a
single word.
W：Why didn’t you write it？
M：I was very busy these days. I had been preparing for my English
exam all the time， so I had no time.
W：Oh， come on. I think you should have a good rest. Let’s enjoy
this free Wednesday night.
M：Anne， listen， I really can’t.
W：Are you serious？
M：Yes， you know it means a lot to me.
W：OK， I understand. I will go by myself. Could you lend me your
car， please？
M：But you don’t have a driver’s license.
W：Who cares？
M：Well， well， Anne. I am going to drive you there and you can
call a taxi when the party is over.
W：All right.

What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein？ What
clothes would be in your wardrobe if you were Madonna？ Well now
you can discover the answer to all these questions at the Fame Hotel in
California.
When you enter the room， you enter the life of a famous person.
The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects，
clothes， even food that he thinks the stars would have liked.
Madonna’s wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses； Albert
Einstein doesn’t have any socks in his wardrobe because he never wore
them！ I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. “I love
this hotel，” he said to me. “I wanted to know what Elvis Presley
would eat for breakfast and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes
and strawberry ice cream every morning， just as Elvis liked to do.
On the next table， the Einstein room’s guest is eating cabbage soup！
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year
and there are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to
staying in the Winston Churchill suite in London！

17-year-old girl Cigla is a freshman at Nagqu No.2 Senior High
School in Lhasa， which sit 3，650 meters above sea level.She now
plays point guard for the school’s 12-member female basketball team.
“Practice makes perfect.You get used to the altitude when you
love the sport and train hard enough，” said the potential basketball
star， who has been crazy about the sport since taking it up three
years ago.
With outstanding speed and accurate passes， she never fails to
shine on the basketball court， even when she competes against the
boys.Though she is a freshman in high school， Cigla already has a
clear picture of her future — entering a sports college to study
basketball.In the eyes of Cigla， who comes from a poor herder’s （牧
民的） family in northern Xizang， studying in Lhasa， the most
developed city in this area， has made it much easier for her to realize
her basketball dream.
With an average altitude of over 4，500 meters.Nagqu is among
the most uninhabitable places in Xizang.Low-oxygen environments
and extreme weather have long influenced the health of Nagqu
students， hampering the development of primary education in the
area.
Like Cigla， many students at the school are from poor farmers’
and herders’ families.Dawa Droma， a senior student also on the
school’s female basketball team， recalled， “I had never touched a
basketball before that game but joined the class team anyway.When I
scored and heard my classmates cheer for me， I couldn’t feel more
proud.That’s how I fell in love with basketball and why I never looked
back.” Reflecting on the influence of basketball on her life， Dawa
Droma said the sport had helped her get fit and build up confidence
over the years.“Meeting players from different schools has certainly
made me a more outgoing person，” she said.

For most of our history， humans have been short， a study has
found.Until around 150 years ago， few people grew taller than 170
centimeters.
Christiane Scheffler at the University of Potsdam and Michael
Hermanussen in Altenhof have spent several years studying the height
of people from a wide range of populations.In their latest paper， they
combined the existing data of more than 6，000 prehistoric human
skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical populations
from Europe and the US. They also included their own data on 1，666
present-day school children from Indonesia.
In the prehistoric populations， the maximum height for men was
165 to 170 centimeters， while women topped out at 160 cm.Today，
men in England have an average height of around 175 cm， while for
women it is about 162 cm.
But there is significant variation between modern countries.The
Indonesian school children in the study were shorter than similarly
aged children from the US， despite being well nourished.
Scheffler and Hermanussen argue that height can be a signal of
dominance （统治地位）， so in societies where it is possible to move
up through the social classes， evolution favors individuals who reach
a greater height.
Subramanian at Harvard University isn’t convinced by the pair’s
interpretation.His team previously showed that the best predictor of a
child’s height is the height of their parents.This suggests that the
influence of other factors， such as social mobility， is limited.
After assessing nearly 163， 000 children living in 55 low- and
middle-income countries， Subramanian’s team found that 42.9 per
cent had poor nutrition but no sign of stunting （阻碍生长） or other
physical indicators of this fact.
This implies there is a lot of hidden malnutrition that doesn’t
reveal itself through stunting.A person’s nutritional condition should
be assessed by looking at their diet not their height， says
Subramanian.

28. How did Scheffler and Hermanussen conduct the research？
A. Studying the skeletons of prehistoric humans.
B. Combining existing data with recent research.
C. Assessing children living in various income areas.
D. Analyzing the results of other scientists’ researches.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的In their latest paper，
they combined the existing data of more than 6，000 prehistoric
human skeletons with multiple studies of more recent historical
populations from Europe and the US. 可知，Scheffler和
Hermanussen在研究过程中将现有数据与最新研究结合了起来。
29. What’s Subramanian’s attitude towards the explanation of
Scheffler and Hermanussen？
A. Worried. B. Cautious.
C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
解析： 观点态度题。根据第六段第一句可知，Scheffler和
Hermanussen的解释并不能令Subramanian信服。
30. What can we infer from Subramanian’s study？
A. Poor nutrition delays physical development.
B. A balanced diet contributes to growing taller.
C. High social classes can reach a greater height.
D. A human’s height has little to do with nutrition.
解析： 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Subramanian’s team
found that 42.9 per cent had poor nutrition but no sign of stunting
（阻碍生长） or other physical indicators of this fact.可知，
Subramanian认为人的身高和营养的关系并不大。
31. What is the text mainly about？
A. The significance that lies in nutrition.
B. The factors that influence humans’ height.
C. The importance that humans attach to height.
D. The reasons why prehistoric humans were short.
解析： 主旨大意题。本文通过一项关于人类身高的研究发现引
入话题，讲到了Scheffler和Hermanussen的观点——身高是人类统
治地位的标志，而另一位研究人员Subramanian通过研究发现，
人类的身高与营养状况关系不大，据此可知，本文主要探讨了影
响人类身高的因素。

Long before the term “snowboarding” existed — at least 80 years
before it was an Olympic phenomenon — people were flying like
surfers down snow-covered hills.The first known instance came in
1917， when 13-year-old Vern Wicklund stood on a sled （雪橇） that
he rode down his parents’ backyard in Cloquet， Minnesota.Wicklund
patented the idea nearly two decades later but produced only a
handful of models.
The sport picked up speed in 1965， when Michigan’s Sherman
Poppen created the Surfer by connecting two skis and adding a string
at the front to control the direction.Poppen sold close to one million
units by 1970.But the real breakthrough happened when Dimitrije
Milovich， a Cornell University student， founded Winterstick， the
first modern snowboard company， in 1972.With steel edges， solid
fiberglass and， most crucially， two belts for one’s feet，
Winterstick’s boards allowed riders to fly through more complex
topography （地形） than previous riders could do.
Snowboarding went mainstream soon thereafter due to the
competition between Jake Burton Carpenter and Tom Sims.Sims， a
New Jersey-raised professional skateboarder who was more interested
in aerial stunts （空中特技） than in how fast he could slide，
founded SIMS Snowboarding in 1976.Carpenter， a race enthusiast
from Long Island who was credited with coining “snowboarding”，
created Burton Snowboards one year later.
In the 1980s， most North American ski resorts （滑雪场）
banned snowboarding， citing insurance liability and the rudeness of
too many riders.However， the sport was more accepted in Europe，
particularly in France.By the 1990s， though， almost every resort in
North America allowed riding.The appearance of the Pipe Dragon， a
machine to cut half-pipes through snow， enabled new aerial stunts，
and when snowboarding appeared at the 1998 Olympics， the half-
pipe was the sport’s biggest draw.

Sports is getting its increasing popularity among teens.Many teens
in high school want to try sports because they think it will make them
popular. 36 Here are some of them.
With electronic products becoming more popular， it has become
much easier for teens to be by themselves.Kids used to hang out
around the town； now they just sit at home. 37 In this case，
they’ll learn how to interact and work as a team — something they’ll
find useful later in life.
38 Playing a team sport will help your teens get some exercise
to lose weight or get into shape.What’s more， these days， it is
becoming harder to show your teens that you love and support them.A
great way to do this is by showing up while they are playing games.You
can also help them practice， and help with the team
fundraising.These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and
talk to them.
You may think your teens aren’t good enough to make their
school team. 39 There are plenty of other places besides the school
to play team sports.You can also check other “for-fun clubs”.You could
look into sports that you may not have thought of.If you do a little
research， you are sure to find something your teens will enjoy.
Sports are a great way for your teens to get out of the house， get
moving， make friends， and even get a scholarship to college. 40
A. Take it easy.
B. Take your chance.
C. Sports help address teens’ overweight.
D. Then how can you develop a hobby of doing sports？
E. So why not talk to them about getting into sports today？
F. However， there are other benefits your teens don’t realize.
G. Yet getting into a sport gives them a chance to go out and socialize.

成一篇完整的短文。
A Girl Without Left Arm
Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest
strength.A young girl decided to learn judo （柔道）， though she
had lost her left arm in a car accident.
This girl began lessons with an old Japanese judo coach.She was
doing well.But she couldn’t understand why， after three months of
training， the coach had taught her only one move.
“Coach，” the girl finally asked， “shouldn’t I learn more
moves？”
“This is the only move you know， and this is the only move
you’ll ever need to know，” the coach replied.
Not quite understanding， but believing in her teacher， the girl
kept training.
Several months later， the coach took the girl to her first
tournament.She used the move to win several matches and she was
now in the finals.
This time， her opponent was bigger， stronger and more
experienced.Concerned that the girl might get hurt， the judge called
a timeout.She was about to give up the match.
“No，” the coach insisted， “let her continue.”
Soon after the match restarted， her opponent thought little of
her and dropped his guard.Instantly， the girl used her move to defeat
her opponent.She became the champion.
On the way home， the girl and her teacher reviewed every move
in each match.Then the girl asked what was really on her mind.
“Coach， how did I win the tournament with only one move？”
“Two reasons，” the coach answered.“First， you’ve almost
mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second， your
opponent’s only defense against that move is to catch your left arm.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Hearing what her coach said， the girl was in deep thought.
With tears running down her face， she realized what she
lacked was just “one move”.
参考范文：
Hearing what her coach said， the girl was in deep thought.Head
down， she thought of her timidity — she lacked confidence because
she had lost her left arm.Frequently， she gave up on herself.But
sometimes， she was heard murmuring to herself， “How can I make
it？” “I’m afraid it’s beyond my ability， and the like.” She even
refused to keep in touch with old friends for fear of being laughed
at.What’s even worse， fluently as she had practiced at home， she
did not dare to show up in the front of the classroom.
With tears running down her face， she realized what she lacked
was just “one move”.It’s the move to become confident.Fortunately，
the girl eventually came to realize that in life she has only one enemy，
herself， to defeat.Quite determined， she rejoined her friends and
followed her dream to be a painter.Equipped with courage and
confidence， the girl became the master of herself， living a
wonderful life.
