This catery and community center, located in the town of Stroud in South West England, has recently gained the attention of the public because it has been employing an unusual but revolutionary dining idea — a pay-as-you-can model. When someone enters The Long Table, they simply order their meal, say how much they would like to pay, and receive meal token as they wait for their food. The Long Table serves lunch five days a week, and the store portion of the restaurant is open every morning for coffee and cake. They also offer hot dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The restaurant features a new menu every day, including plant-based and gluten-free options, meaning that their diners never quit know what to expect. In addition to their accessible food model, they also place an emphasis on conversation and community among their patrons. The restaurant got its name from the long tables located at the center of their establishment. The nature of their dining setup encourages customers to sit across from each other and talk as they enjoy their meals. As their website states, “At The Long Table, community and great food sit side by side. Whoever you are, whatever your story, pull up a chair and join us as we evolve the very notion of what a restaurant can be.” Sadly, the restaurant that they repurposed may be on its way out as it was sold to a new landlord. But members of the community are still holding out hope and have created an open letter urging the new landlord to allow for The Long Table to remain at the Brimscombe Mill. Even though The Long Table’s future may be uncertain, the impact it is having on the local community certainly is not. One line of the open letter reads, “Collectively we hope a solution can be found which means that this loved, and very much needed, community resource can remain at Brimscombe Mill.” 8. What is the unique dining idea employed by The Long Table? A. A fixed-price menu. B. A pay-as-you-can model. C. A take-away only option. D. A membership-based dining club. 9. What is the main focus of The Long Table, apart from serving food? A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Conversation and community. D. Health and fitness. 10. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “patrons”? A. Diners. B. Locals. C. Staff. D. Neighbors. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The Long Table is a popular community resource. B. The future of The Long Table is completely uncertain. C. The open letter is addressed to the local government. D. The Long Table may bring conflicts to the people. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国一家名为Long Table的餐厅有着独特的经营理念，并且向顾客强调了对话和社区的重要性，现在这家餐厅面临着倒闭的风险，但它对当地社区的影响不可忽视。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This catery and community center, located in the town of Stroud in South West England, has recently gained the attention of the public because it has been employing an unusual but revolutionary dining idea—a pay-as-you-can model.(这家位于英格兰西南部斯特劳德镇的餐饮和社区中心最近引起了公众的注意，因为它采用了一种不同寻常但革命性的餐饮理念——即量入为出的模式。)”可知，Long Table使用了量入为出的模式。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In addition to their accessible food model, they also place an emphasis on conversation and community among their patrons.(除了他们的可获得食物模式，他们还强调顾客之间的对话和社区。)”可知，Long Table关注对话和社区。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The nature of their dining setup encourages customers to sit across from each other and talk as they enjoy their meals.(他们用餐设置的性质鼓励顾客坐在对面，边用餐边交谈。)”可知，Long Table鼓励顾客面对面坐着边用餐边交谈，由此可推测出，画线词所在句表示的是“除了他们的可获得食物模式，他们还强调顾客之间的对话和社区”。patrons指的是在餐厅吃饭的顾客，与diner(就餐者)意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Even though The Long Table’s future may be uncertain, the impact it is having on the local community certainly is not.(尽管Long Table的未来可能不确定，但它对当地社区的影响肯定不是。)”和“Collectively we hope a solution can be found which means that this loved, and very much needed, community resource can remain at Brimscombe Mill.(我们共同希望能找到一个解决方案，这意味着这种备受喜爱、需要的社区资源可以留在Brimscombe Mill。)”可知，这家餐厅对当地的影响是确定的，它是一个备受喜爱、需要的社区资源，由此可推测出，Long Table是一个受欢迎的社区资源。故选A。 D While Instagram’s impact on teenage girls’ body image made the news recently, few have thought about its effect on teenage boys and young men. The masculine (男子汉的) body ideal has become increasingly large and more muscular in recent years. Given these pressures, a third of teenage boys report trying to bulk up (增肌). Social media use is linked to muscle and height dissatisfaction in young men. Boys using social media are more likely to think about using harmful muscle-enhancing products. The pressure to become muscular can lead to muscle dysmorphia (健身成瘾症), which is when individuals become absorbed in the idea that their bodies are too small and not muscular enough. Like common eating disorders among teenagers, muscle dysmorphia can significantly worsen a teen’s physical and mental health. Because of social media, boys’ bodies are on display now more than ever, especially through influencers’ accounts. Compared to female selfies (自拍照) which are more likely to feature faces, male selfies are more likely to be full-body photos: An analysis of 1,000 male full-body Instagram posts showed that a majority portrayed muscularity, and that images featuring this body type received significantly more likes and comments. Boys who view or post content related to fitness or muscularity on social media are subsequently flooded with other images of bulking teens, leading to an unhealthy cycle of constantly comparing their body with others and possible social media addiction. While lawmakers debate potential government regulation of social media, concerned parents can start having conversations with their teens and discourage content that makes teens feel worse about themselves. They can also help relieve social media addiction by encouraging their kids to turn off updates, by having social media-free time (such as during family meals) and by having teens keep phones away from their beds while sleeping. Boys suffering from body image anxiety often experience delays in diagnosis and treatment. Parents need to be aware that the negative impact of social media isn’t only impacting their daughters but their sons as well. 12. What is the influence of social media on teenage boys? A. Their dissatisfaction with their look. B. Their wish to be covered by the media. C. Their falling victim to eating disorders. D. Their addiction to using harmful products. 13. Why is the analysis mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To showcase the popularity of Instagram. B. To compare the gender differences on selfies. C. To illustrate features of some desirable body types. D. To explain boys’ motivation for posting full-body photos. 14. What is the author’s key message in paragraph 4? A. Parenting matters more than law-making. B. Boys’ body shame requires parents’ attention. C. The use of social media does no good to boys. D. The appearance anxiety is not easy to be cured. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Ideal Body Shape Is Not Built In One Day B. Selfies Out Of Sight, Anxiety Out Of Mind C. To Be Muscular Or Not. That Is The Question D. Muscular Body Figure, Poisonous Social Media 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了社交媒体对男性造成的身材压力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While Instagram’s impact on teenage girls’ body image made the news recently, few have thought about its effect on teenage boys and young men. The masculine (男子汉的) body ideal has become increasingly large and more muscular in recent years. Given these pressures, a third of teenage boys report trying to bulk up (增肌).(虽然Instagram对十几岁少女身体形象的影响最近成为新闻，但很少有人考虑它对十几岁男孩和年轻男性的影响。近年来，完美的男子汉身材变得越来越大，肌肉也越来越发达。考虑到这些压力，三分之一的十几岁男孩报告说，他们试图增强增肌。)”和第二段中的“Social media use is linked to muscle and height dissatisfaction in young men.(社交媒体的使用与年轻男性对肌肉和身高的不满有关。)”可知，社交媒体让十几岁的男生对自己的外表产生不满。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Compared to female selfies (自拍照) which are more likely to feature faces, male selfies are more likely to be full-body photos: An analysis of 1,000 male full-body Instagram posts showed that a majority portrayed muscularity, and that images featuring this body type received significantly more likes and comments.(与更可能以面部为特征的女性自拍相比，男性自拍更可能是全身照片：对1000条男性全身Instagram帖子的分析显示，大多数人都描绘了肌肉发达的形象，而以这种体型为特征的照片获得了更多的点赞和评论。)”可知，这个分析表明，大多数男性的自拍都展示了肌肉发达的形象，而这种体型照片获得了更多的点赞和评论，由此可推测出，作者提到这个分析只为了解释男性发布这类全身照的动机，即获得点赞和评论。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While lawmakers debate potential government regulation of social media, concerned parents can start having conversations with their teens and discourage content that makes teens feel worse about themselves.(当立法者就政府对社交媒体的潜在监管进行辩论时，担心的父母可以开始与青少年进行对话，并阻拦那些让青少年自我感觉更糟的内容。)”和“Boys suffering from body image anxiety often experience delays in diagnosis and treatment. Parents need to be aware that the negative impact of social media isn’t only impacting their daughters but their sons as well.(患有身体形象焦虑症的男孩经常在诊断和治疗方面出现延误。父母需要意识到，社交媒体的负面影响不仅影响到女儿，也影响到儿子。)”可知，本段主要表达的是：对于那些受到社交媒体影响而对自己身体形象产生焦虑的男孩，父母需要进行及时关注。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“While Instagram’s impact on teenage girls’ body image made the news recently, few have thought about its effect on teenage boys and young men. The masculine (男子汉的) body ideal has become increasingly large and more muscular in recent years. (虽然Instagram对十几岁少女身体形象的影响最近成为新闻，但很少有人考虑它对十几岁男孩和年轻男性的影响。近年来，完美的男子汉身材变得越来越大，肌肉也越来越发达。)”和第二段中的“Social media use is linked to muscle and height dissatisfaction in young men.(社交媒体的使用与年轻男性对肌肉和身高的不满有关。)”可知，本文主要讲述的是社交媒体使得男性对自身身材产生焦虑这一现象，他们愈来愈追逐肌肉发达的身材。所以D项“肌肉发达的身材，有毒的社交媒体”最能概括本文。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people fear failure and try to avoid it even when they have the opportunity to succeed.

On 45. Dressed 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了云南彝族独特的风俗文化。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：这些都是答案一部分，但绝对不是全部。空处连接前后两个句子，应用连词。“These are all part of the answer”和“they are definitely not everything”之间是转折关系，应用表示转折的并列连词but或yet。故填but/yet。 【37题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在云南的25个民族中，彝族有着独特的文化，经过数千年的发展，形成了丰富多彩、各具特色的风俗习惯。这里泛指一种独特的文化，空后的unique发音以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【38题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意参考上题。空处充当which非限制性定语从句的谓语。根据句中的“over thousands of years”可知，这里应用现在完成时。主语which指代前面的culture，所以助动词应用has。故填has developed。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：许多节日都是由崇拜这些物品的仪式发展而来的。for为介词，其后跟动名词作宾语。worship的动名词形式为worshipping/worshiping。故填worshipping/worshiping。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：火把节是庆祝最广泛的节日，具有非常强烈的宗教元素。空处修饰element，应用形容词religious，意为“宗教的”。故填religious。 【41题详解】 考查代词。句意：彝族自称“火族”，认为火具有驱邪、震慑鬼神的超人力量。这里指的是彝族人自己，应用反身代词themselves作宾语。故填themselves。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：节日期间，在村口，有一座宏伟的“火把塔”，由松枝和干柴制成，高达20多米，上面装饰着鲜花和水果。本句的谓语是is decorated，所以“made of pine branches and dry firewood and___7___(stand) more than 20 meters high”是非谓语动词短语作后置定语。逻辑主语a grand “torch tower”和stand之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词。故填standing。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：晚饭后，夜幕降临，年轻人和老年人热情地涌向“火把塔”广场。空处应用副词修饰动词rush。enthusiastically意为“热情地”。故填enthusiastically。 【44题详解】 考查介词。句意：在这样一个灿烂的夜晚，所有的参与者都陶醉在盛大的场面和庆祝的气氛中。空处应用介词，和空后的such a brilliant night构成介宾短语。这里特指这样一个灿烂的夜晚，表示具体某一天的晚上，应用介词on。首字母大写。故填On。 45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：身着华丽服装的年轻男女手挽手围着篝火载歌载舞，表达对富足生活的感激之情和对来年的美好祝愿。本句的谓语是sing and dance，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语young men and women和dress之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词，作状语。首字母大写。故填Dressed。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华，学校要求外教Jack下期开设一门英语选修课，请你给他写一封邮件推荐一门英语选修课，内容包括： 1．推荐课程； 2．推荐理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack, I am more than excited to know you are going to offer us an optional course.

We both worked in the field of physical education and coach youth high school track and field. So, Kenny and I weren’t surprised when our daughter, Becky, showed early athletic promise. Watching her outrun other kids on the playground, I knew she was destined for winning medals on the track. Slowly but surely, track took over our lives. Weekends were devoted to training. We stopped taking vacations so the girl wouldn’t miss any practices. We missed her birthdays and family outings. I even restricted the time she could spend hanging out with her friends, which would consume the energy she needed for competition: We didn’t really ask Becky if that was what she wanted. Of course she did! Who wouldn’t want to use a God-given talent to the fullest? Occasionally, Becky would open up after a loss, “I wish you were the same even if I have a bad day on the track. I feel like you don’t accept me just for who I am.” Honestly, that hurt. In my heart, I knew what she said was true. I could behave more like a coach than a Mom on the sideline. But I didn’t mind. Ensuring her on the track of winning was my only goal. I probably cared more about the medals than she did. By the time Becky started middle school, our family life had revolved around (以……中心) practices and competitions. I had visions of college scholarships, maybe even the Olympics. One day, at a regional Junior Olympics qualifying event, she twisted her leg and ended up in a heavy fall, screaming in pain. This was not supposed to happen. Kenny and I pushed her too hard the day before and she attempted to break the record which was clearly beyond her reach. We rushed her to the hospital right away. Never did I imagine sitting in a doctor’s office, staring at the X-ray result as the doctor calmly explained that Becky’s posterior cruciate ligament (后十字韧带) — the thick tissue stabilizing the back of her knee—was torn. 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。 “Her professional career as an athlete was over,” the doctor broke the news to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following the hard-fought recovery, I watched her running with a new attitude. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “Her professional career as an athlete was over,” the doctor broke the news to me. Just then, my mind went blank. The doctor kept talking about some immediate surgery, but I was lost in enormous guilt. “It’s alright, Mom. We can get through this,” Becky seemed to read my mind. The surgery went smoothly, and the news that physical therapy might bring her back to the track was a delight. Three days a week, Kenny and I drove her to the hospital for therapy. My heart cried out every time Becky struggled through a stretch or an exercise. Beholding her incredible determination, I started to take pride in Becky for who she was, not the medals she could have won. Following the hard-fought recovery I watched her running with a new attitude. As usual, I was standing on the sideline. But this time I conducted myself like a Mom cheerleading for her daughter rather than a demanding coach. Becky only took baby steps toward regaining her speed and strength. But neither of us worried that she would never be able to pursue a championship. In fact, we started taking family vacations and Becky hung out with her pals like a normal teenager. It was the first time that Becky had actually enjoyed sports and life in years. I realized that perhaps Becky was after all not destined for winning medals on the track, but a wholesome life that really counted. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对运动员夫妻把所有的时间都用来培养自己的孩子进行体育训练，让田径占据一家人的生活，并梦想着有一天自己的孩子参加奥运会，但是孩子受伤后，母亲坐在医生办公室里陷入了沉思。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘她的运动员生涯结束了，’医生告诉我这个消息”可知，第一段可描写女儿的手术进展如何以及作者的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过艰难的康复后，我看到她以一种新的态度跑步”可知，第二段可描写作者心态的改变以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：医生告知要手术——作者内疚——手术顺利——女儿康复——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：behold/see ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③尖叫：cry out/scream 情绪类 ①为……骄傲：take pride in /be proud of ②高兴：delight/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Beholding her incredible determination, I started to take pride in Becky for who she was, not the medals she could have won.

B In 2009, Kevin Pearce was at the height of his professional snowboarding career and bound for the Winter Olympics. But in an instant, it came to an end. During training, he struck his head on the edge of a pipe, resulting in a traumatic (创伤的) brain injury. It changed the course of the then-22-year-old’s life. He had to relearn how to walk and talk and essentially start over. His older brother Adam quit his job and moved across the country to help him through rehab. He eventually started doing yoga, and his family saw how it transformed him and gave him a sense of hope: “It was the first time I remember so clearly coming out of a class with him and just seeing in his face this new expression, this new person.” Adam Pearce said, “We were like, ‘We need to figure out why and how that just happened.’” Wanting to bring hope and healing to others through yoga and meditation (冥想). Adain and Kevin co-founded the Love YourBrain Foundation in 2014. The nonprofit offers week-long meditations and community-based yoga classes across the United States for people who are living with long-term brain-related disabilities. “I think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don’t feel able, and when you don’t feel able, you generally retreat back inside.” Adam said, “At these retreats, people are given the space to lean into those deep challenges and express them and talk about them.” Ultimately, the organization aims to create a safe space and supportive community where people with brain-related disabilities can heal together. “Connection happens quickly because there’s such a shared common understanding among the group.” Adam said. “Once someone sees someone be vulnerable, it instantly allows the next person (to be). By the end, people start to see vulnerability as a superpower.” 4. What prevented Kevin from career development? A. A severe brain cancer. B. A new training routine. C. A devastating accident. D.

This catery and community center, located in the town of Stroud in South West England, has recently gained the attention of the public because it has been employing an unusual but revolutionary dining idea — a pay-as-you-can model. When someone enters The Long Table, they simply order their meal, say how much they would like to pay, and receive meal token as they wait for their food. The Long Table serves lunch five days a week, and the store portion of the restaurant is open every morning for coffee and cake. They also offer hot dinners on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The restaurant features a new menu every day, including plant-based and gluten-free options, meaning that their diners never quit know what to expect. In addition to their accessible food model, they also place an emphasis on conversation and community among their patrons. The restaurant got its name from the long tables located at the center of their establishment. The nature of their dining setup encourages customers to sit across from each other and talk as they enjoy their meals. As their website states, “At The Long Table, community and great food sit side by side. Whoever you are, whatever your story, pull up a chair and join us as we evolve the very notion of what a restaurant can be.” Sadly, the restaurant that they repurposed may be on its way out as it was sold to a new landlord. But members of the community are still holding out hope and have created an open letter urging the new landlord to allow for The Long Table to remain at the Brimscombe Mill. Even though The Long Table’s future may be uncertain, the impact it is having on the local community certainly is not. One line of the open letter reads, “Collectively we hope a solution can be found which means that this loved, and very much needed, community resource can remain at Brimscombe Mill.” 8. What is the unique dining idea employed by The Long Table? A. A fixed-price menu. B. A pay-as-you-can model. C. A take-away only option. D. A membership-based dining club. 9. What is the main focus of The Long Table, apart from serving food? A. Entertainment. B. Education. C. Conversation and community. D. Health and fitness. 10. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “patrons”? A. Diners. B. Locals. C. Staff. D. Neighbors. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A The Long Table is a popular community resource. B. The future of The Long Table is completely uncertain. C. The open letter is addressed to the local government. D. The Long Table may bring conflicts to the people. D While Instagram’s impact on teenage girls’ body image made the news recently, few have thought about its effect on teenage boys and young men. The masculine (男子汉的) body ideal has become increasingly large and more muscular in recent years. Given these pressures, a third of teenage boys report trying to bulk up (增肌). Social media use is linked to muscle and height dissatisfaction in young men. Boys using social media are more likely to think about using harmful muscle-enhancing products. The pressure to become muscular can lead to muscle dysmorphia (健身成瘾症) which is when individuals become absorbed in the idea that their bodies are too small and not muscular enough. Like common eating disorders among teenagers, muscle dysmorphia can significantly worsen a teen’s physical and mental health. Because of social media, boys’ bodies are on display now more than ever, especially through influencers’ accounts. Compared to female selfies (自拍照) which are more likely to feature faces, male selfies are more likely to be full-body photos: An analysis of 1,000 male full-body Instagram posts showed that a majority portrayed muscularity, and that images featuring this body type received significantly more likes and comments. Boys who view or post content related to fitness or muscularity on social media are subsequently flooded with other images of bulking teens, leading to an unhealthy cycle of constantly comparing their body with others and possible social media addiction. While lawmakers debate potential government regulation of social media, concerned parents can start having conversations with their teens and discourage content that makes teens feel worse about themselves. They can also help relieve social media addiction by encouraging their kids to turn off updates, by having social media-free time (such as during family meals) and by having teens keep phones away from their beds while sleeping. Boys suffering from body image anxiety often experience delays in diagnosis and treatment. Parents need to be aware that the negative impact of social media isn’t only impacting their daughters but their sons as well. 12. What is the influence of social media on teenage boys? A. Their dissatisfaction with their look. B. Their wish to be covered by the media. C. Their falling victim to eating disorders. D. Their addiction to using harmful products. 13. Why is the analysis mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To showcase the popularity of Instagram. B. To compare the gender differences on selfies. C. To illustrate features of some desirable body types. D To explain boys’ motivation for posting full-body photos. 14. What is the author’s key message in paragraph 4? A. Parenting matters more than law-making. B. Boys’ body shame requires parents’ attention. C. The use of social media does no good to boys. D. The appearance anxiety is not easy to be cured. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Ideal Body Shape Is Not Built In One Day B. Selfies Out Of Sight, Anxiety Out Of Mind C. To Be Muscular Or Not. That Is The Question D. Muscular Body Figure, Poisonous Social Media 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people fear failure and try to avoid it even when they have the opportunity to succeed. They won’t attempt something if they think they might fail. ___16___ Research the alternatives. ___17___ When you don’t know-what you’re dealing with, potential consequences seem far worse than they actually are. Take the power out fear by understanding it. Research all the potential outcomes(both good and bad) so you genuinely understand the risk of failure and benefits of success.

It’s like jumping off a cliff into a lake-after you do it once, you see that the water is safe and each time afterwards is easy.

We both worked in the field of physical education and coach youth high school track and field. So, Kenny and I weren’t surprised when our daughter, Becky, showed early athletic promise. Watching her outrun other kids on the playground, I knew she was destined for winning medals on the track. Slowly but surely, track took over our lives. Weekends were devoted to training. We stopped taking vacations so the girl wouldn’t miss any practices. We missed her birthdays and family outings. I even restricted the time she could spend hanging out with her friends, which would consume the energy she needed for competition: We didn’t really ask Becky if that was what she wanted. Of course she did! Who wouldn’t want to use a God-given talent to the fullest? Occasionally, Becky would open up after a loss, “I wish you were the same even if I have a bad day on the track. I feel like you don’t accept me just for who I am.” Honestly, that hurt. In my heart, I knew what she said was true. I could behave more like a coach than a Mom on the sideline. But I didn’t mind. Ensuring her on the track of winning was my only goal. I probably cared more about the medals than she did. By the time Becky started middle school, our family life had revolved around (以……中心) practices and competitions. I had visions of college scholarships, maybe even the Olympics. One day, at a regional Junior Olympics qualifying event, she twisted her leg and ended up in a heavy fall, screaming in pain. This was not supposed to happen. Kenny and I pushed her too hard the day before and she attempted to break the record which was clearly beyond her reach. We rushed her to the hospital right away. Never did I imagine sitting in a doctor’s office, staring at the X-ray result as the doctor calmly explained that Becky’s posterior cruciate ligament (后十字韧带) — the thick tissue stabilizing the back of her knee—was torn. 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。 “Her professional career as an athlete was over,” the doctor broke the news to me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Following the hard-fought recovery, I watched her running with a new attitude. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
