As a reporter for her school newspaper, she would interview Ramon Fuller today, the star player for the Green-port football team. To Sophia, this meant a lot. She planned to be a professional football player, just like Ramon. Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. “Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,” he often said seriously. At school, Sophia went over the questions again and again before the big hour came. When she finally saw Fuller, Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady (稳重的) in a suit. For some reason, he reminded Sophia of her brother. Sophia began to ask Fuller how he got started in sports. “My talent showed early,” Fuller continued to tell Sophia how he won competitions and became famous. “But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school, That was when I met my hero.” “Who was that?” Sophia was interested. “Dr. Philip Taylor,” Fuller smiled. “My dad?” Sophia shouted, “Why was he your hero?” Fuller told Sophia how her father encouraged him to do his best in football after treating his knee. But with four operations on the knee, he couldn’t imagine playing football for long. Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities. “That’s why I started studying medicine in the university,” Fuller continued. “When I retire from football, I want to be a doctor like your father.” “But you are rich enough,” Sophia felt curious. “You don’t have to work.” “It’s not about money,” Fuller said. “I want to achieve more with my life. Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.” The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day. 49. What was Sophia Taylor’s job for school newspaper? ____________________________________________________________ 50.

He seemed steady ...”可知，Sophia认为Ramon Fuller看起来不像电视上那么令人激动，而是很稳重的。故填He looked steady. 【52题详解】 根据第五段“But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school”可知，Ramon Fuller在高中的最后一年膝盖受伤了。故填He hurt his knee. 53题详解】 根据第九段“Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities.”可知，Philip Taylor建议Ramon Fuller探索更多的可能性。故填He advised him to explore more possibilities. 【54题详解】 根据倒数第二段“Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.”，最后一段“The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day.”以及前文可知，Ramon Fuller说：“在各个方面努力工作，很多事情都是可能的。”而这些话很对于Sophia来说熟悉，因为她的父亲Philip Taylor也对她说过这样的话，所以她迫不及待地想把这个大日子告诉她的新偶像。由此可知Sophia的新偶像就是她的父亲；她之所以认为那是一个大日子，是因为通过采访她明白了父亲说的“在各个方面努力工作，很多事情都是可能的。”故填Her father. Because she realized that many things are possible if she works hard. VII. Writing(写话)(共16分) A.

Word bank: echo chamber 信息茧房 Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) Sophia’s Big Day It was Sophia Taylor’s big day. As a reporter for her school newspaper, she would interview Ramon Fuller today, the star player for the Green-port football team. To Sophia, this meant a lot. She planned to be a professional football player, just like Ramon. Sophia’s dad, Dr. Philip Taylor, said YES to her but only allowed her to train after she finished her homework. “Work hard in all areas, and many things are possible,” he often said seriously. At school, Sophia went over the questions again and again before the big hour came. When she finally saw Fuller, Sophia was surprised to find he didn’t look like the exciting player she saw on TV. He seemed steady (稳重的) in a suit. For some reason, he reminded Sophia of her brother. Sophia began to ask Fuller how he got started in sports. “My talent showed early,” Fuller continued to tell Sophia how he won competitions and became famous. “But I hurt my knee in my last year of high school, That was when I met my hero.” “Who was that?” Sophia was interested. “Dr. Philip Taylor,” Fuller smiled. “My dad?” Sophia shouted, “Why was he your hero?” Fuller told Sophia how her father encouraged him to do his best in football after treating his knee. But with four operations on the knee, he couldn’t imagine playing football for long. Then Dr Taylor advised him to explore more possibilities. “That’s why I started studying medicine in the university,” Fuller continued. “When I retire from football, I want to be a doctor like your father.” “But you are rich enough,” Sophia felt curious. “You don’t have to work.” “It’s not about money,” Fuller said. “I want to achieve more with my life. Work hard in all areas. And many things are possible.” The words were familiar, but this time they made more sense to Sophia. She couldn’t wait to tell her new hero about her big day. 49.
