第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Tourism Regions
Ontario is paving the way for a stronger, more competitive tourism industry. Based on recommendations from the 2009 report, Discovering Ontario: a report on the future of tourism the ministry established 13 tourism regions, each with a strong Regional Tourism Organization.
Each Regional Tourism Organization independent, industry-led and not-for-profit and each provides leadership and coordination to support competitive and sustainable tourism regions. As a result, Ontario’s tourism industry now has a stronger combined voice and is better equipped to attract more visitors, generate more economic activities, and create more jobs across the province.

B
Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness...
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.
I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing.
“I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.”
The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?”
And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”
This is what older age means. We do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
24. What does the author say about her present life?
A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends.
C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises.
25. Why did the author mention the sparrow?
A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort.
C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval.
26. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A Physical weakness. B. The great lie.
C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul.
27. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author?
A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can.
C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及的经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景,以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法,强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.(随着年龄的电梯慢慢到来,我们能做些什么呢?主要的解决办法是每天出去走走,最好是和朋友一起。老朋友——哪怕只是想起他们——都是我的安慰。)”可知,作者烦恼的时候就想和朋友一起。由此可知,作者喜欢和老朋友见面。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”(麻雀回答说:“做自己能做的事。”)”以及倒数第二段“This is what older age means. We do what we can.(这就是老年的含义。我们做我们能做的。)”可推测出,作者提到麻雀的故事是为了表达作者对于麻雀行为的赞同,作者认为我们做自己能做的就可以了。故选D。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. (上了年纪,我们的身体是如此脆弱,但友谊使它成为灵魂的划船机。)”可知,划线单词“it”所指的是上了年纪后,我们的身体会脆弱。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.(到了一定的年龄,我们就会知道生活中最大的谎言——如果你做到了或实现了这个或那个,你就会快乐和富有。不。爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知,作者认为幸福不是通过实现重要的人生目标获得的,而是通过爱和服务的生活方式来获得的。故选C。
C
Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal(脊柱的)cord injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to permit them to stand, walk and exercise.
Scientists have discovered that neurons—which receive and send signals for muscle movements—often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Court in e and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles.
The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implant were able to take their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the ability to take-part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride bicycles and swim in community settings.
Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Court in e said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said.
The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for walking and other activities. However, because the patients’ muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight the researchers said. It also took some time for them to learn to work with the technology. Still, Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.”
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Three paralyzed men recovered with the help of a new electrical device.
B. Court in e and Bloch have found that neurons in paralyzed patients still work.
C. The new electrical device can imitate the brain to send signals to the spinal cord.
D. Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research into spinal cord injuries.
29. How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly?
A. By using the AI system.
B. By sending the signals to the brain.
C. By making signals enter the spine from the sides.
D. By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine.
30. Which can best describe Bloch’s idea in the last paragraph?
A. Every garden has its weeds. B. Put the cart (运货马车) before the horse.

Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates and to a certain extent it is .But companies themselves are prone (有倾向的) to bend reality out of shape in ways that are self-defeating.
Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants. When it comes to writing the resume (简历),they tend to massage (美化) reality into the most appealing shape possible .Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating millions income; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens.
But the tendency to stretch the truth infects companies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the ideal candidate someone who almost by definition does not exist. Sometimes, the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.
Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in text or video what a typical day in the role would look like.
Such honesty can be its own reward. Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organization's honesty are the best explanation for why. So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves.
32. Why are “leader” and “enthusiast ” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To present a rule. B. To give examples.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a phenomenon.
33. What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Overturn. B. Overstate. C. Overlook. D. Overestimate.
34. What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph 4?
A. They show a position as it is.
B. They are made either in text or video.
C. They are favorable for bigger firms.
D. They mainly contain negatives of a job.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Pains and gains of employees.
B. Dishonest behavior of companies.
C. How to be more appealing in hiring.
D. How to get the lying out of hiring.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了招聘过程中的不诚实现象,并探讨了应对措施。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants.

The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens. (从明显的犯错者开始:求职者。在写简历的时候,他们倾向于把现实尽可能地美化成最吸引人的样子。每个经验超过一定水平的人都是变革型的领导者,个人负责创造数百万的收入;如果所有这些说法都是真的,那么世界经济规模将是实际规模的15倍左右。英国人平均每天花四个半小时看电视和在线视频。但平均每位求职者都是热衷于公益事业的狂热者,他们只把业余时间用于有价值的目的,比如在施粥处做志愿者)”可知,本段提到了“领导者”和“狂热者”是为了解释求职者夸大事实的现象。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“When it comes to writing the resume (简历),they tend to massage (美化) reality into the most appealing shape possible .Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating millions income; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true.

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in text or video what a typical day in the role would look like. (很少有公司会在工作预演中准确地描述一个职位的实际工作内容,而预演的目的是让未来的员工真正了解这份工作的优缺点,以及公司的企业文化。一个有效的策略是在文字或视频中列出这个职位的典型一天是怎么过的)”可知,工作预演应该如实呈现一个职位是什么样子的。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段中“Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty.(招聘过程可以被看作是诚信与不诚实之间的一场战斗)”和最后一段中“Such honesty can be its own reward.(这种诚实本身就是一种回报)”可知,文章介绍了招聘过程中求职者和公司都倾向于夸大事实,很少有公司提供真实的职位预览,但研究表明诚实是一种回报,真实的职位预览会降低离职率,提高员工满意度,可知,D“如何让招聘不再说谎”符合主题,故选D项。

【56题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在黄浦江东岸的中国美术馆举办的“敦煌艺术大展”在国庆假期大受欢迎,吸引了全国各地的游客。提示词be是连系动词,作谓语,由时间状语“during the National Day holiday”可知,描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时态,主语The Great Art of Dunhuang exhibition是单数名词,谓语动词也用单数形式。故填was。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意:展出的是甘肃省敦煌研究院收藏的一些最具代表性和罕见的文物,这些文物首次在大都会公开展出。提示词与形容词rare是并列关系,修饰名词artifacts,应用形容词representative构成最高级the most representative作定语,意为“最具有代表性的”。故填representative。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:展出了168件(套)被认定为国家一级文物文物,展览国庆期间共接待游客5万余人。句中已有谓语welcomed,“(feature) 168 pieces and sets of cultural relics recognized as national treasures of Ching”作伴随状语,feature(以……为特色,以……为主要组成)是非谓语动词,与逻辑主语the exhibition之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词表主动,作状语;句首单词首字母大写。故填Featuring。
【59题详解】

【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:更令人印象深刻的是,六个最具代表性的洞穴中有真人大小的复制品展出,为游客带来了沉浸式的莫高窟体验。可数名词experience在句中表示“一次沉浸式的体验”,泛指,且immersive是发音以元音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位参观者说:“我们参观莫高窟时不允许拍照。多亏了数字技术,我们可以在这些复制的洞穴中近距离地欣赏艺术品,这比参观真正的洞穴所能做的要多。”allow sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”,句中使用了其被动语态sb. be allowed to do sth.,意为“某人被允许做某事”,用不定式to take作主语补足语。故填to take。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一位参观者说:“我们参观莫高窟时不允许拍照。多亏了数字技术,我们可以在这些复制的洞穴中近距离地欣赏艺术品,这比参观真正的洞穴所能做的要多。”“ is more than we can do by visiting the real caves”是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,先行词为主句“we can have a close-up experience with the artworks in these reproduced caves”讲的这件事情,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:敦煌位于戈壁沙漠中的一片绿洲上,曾是古丝绸之路上一个重要的贸易中心。句中已有谓语served,“(locate) in an oasis in the Gobi Desert”作后置定语,locate(把……安置/建造于”是非谓语动词,与逻辑主语Dunhuang之间为被动关系,应用过去分词表被动。故填located。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:敦煌位于戈壁沙漠中的一片绿洲上,曾是古丝绸之路上一个重要的贸易中心。serve as为固定搭配,意为“充当,担任”。故填as。

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。
It was a sunny Friday afternoon. My assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet. All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself.
“Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face.
“May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A gentle voice caught our attention.
“Tommy, your show time!” I shouted and gave him a thumb-up.
Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my smartphone, ready to shoot.
With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But there was one problem for me-I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable.
“Come on, Tommy!” Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step.
Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug! But I could not. I had to finish recording the whole race, so I waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line. Suddenly, I noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. Feeling puzzled, Tommy immediately found the judge and pointed out this mistake politely. However, the second-place finisher insisted he was the winner. No one could tell exactly what had happened. Tommy was at a loss what to do, feeling frustrated. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process. Rushing to the judge, I showed him the video, which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived.
The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion. After learning the truth, the audience broke into thunderous applause. Tommy shouldered his way through the crowd, gate ring me in his arms with a proud smile on his face. We both knew this was not just a victory of a race, but also a victory of sticking to the truth and daring to fight for it in the face of injustice.

Tourism Regions
Ontario is paving the way for a stronger, more competitive tourism industry. Based on recommendations from the 2009 report, Discovering Ontario: a report on the future of tourism the ministry established 13 tourism regions, each with a strong Regional Tourism Organization.
Each Regional Tourism Organization independent, industry-led and not-for-profit and each provides leadership and coordination to support competitive and sustainable tourism regions. As a result, Ontario’s tourism industry now has a stronger combined voice and is better equipped to attract more visitors, generate more economic activities, and create more jobs across the province.

Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness...
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.
I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing.
“I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.”
The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?”
And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”
This is what older age means. We do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
24. What does the author say about her present life?
A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends.
C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises.
25. Why did the author mention the sparrow?
A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort.
C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval.
26. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Physical weakness. B. The great lie.
C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul.
27. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author?
A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can.
C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done.
C
Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal(脊柱的)cord injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to permit them to stand, walk and exercise.
Scientists have discovered that neurons—which receive and send signals for muscle movements—often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest experiment led by Gregoire Court in e and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles.
The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implant were able to take their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the ability to take-part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride bicycles and swim in community settings.
Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the spine, Court in e said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said.
The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for walking and other activities. However, because the patients’ muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight the researchers said. It also took some time for them to learn to work with the technology. Still, Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their muscles, the more fluid it becomes.”
28. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. Three paralyzed men recovered with the help of a new electrical device.
B. Court in e and Bloch have found that neurons in paralyzed patients still work.
C. The new electrical device can imitate the brain to send signals to the spinal cord.
D. Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research into spinal cord injuries.
29. How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly?
A. By using the AI system.
B. By sending the signals to the brain.
C. By making signals enter the spine from the sides.
D. By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine.
30. Which can best describe Bloch’s idea in the last paragraph?
A. Every garden has its weeds. B. Put the cart (运货马车) before the horse.
C. It’s hard to please all. D. Practice makes perfect.
31. What is the purpose of this text?
A To introduce the findings of a recent research.
B. To report the consequence of spinal cord injuries.
C. To recommend a treatment for paralyzed patients.
D. To compare a recent research with other previous researches.
D
Hiring processes can be thought of as a battle between integrity and dishonesty. You might imagine this is a simple fight between truth-seeking firms and self-promoting candidates and to a certain extent it is .But companies themselves are prone (有倾向的) to bend reality out of shape in ways that are self-defeating.
Start with the obvious wrongdoers: job applicants. When it comes to writing the resume (简历),they tend to massage (美化) reality into the most appealing shape possible .Everyone beyond a certain level of experience is a transformational leader personally responsible for generating millions income; the world economy would be about 15 times bigger than it actually is if all such claims were true. The average British spends four and a half hours a day watching TV and online videos. But each average job candidate is an enthusiast for public welfare, using their spare time only for worthy purposes, like volunteering in soup kitchens.
But the tendency to stretch the truth infects companies as well as applicants. The typical firm will write a job description that invariably describes the work environment as fast-paced and innovative, and then lays out a set of improbable requirements for the ideal candidate someone who almost by definition does not exist. Sometimes, the requirements include an ability to go back and change the course of history.
Too few firms offer an accurate account of what a position actually involves in their job previews, which are supposed to give prospective employees a genuine sense of the negatives and positives of the job, as well as a clear idea of the company’s corporate culture. One effective strategy is to lay out in text or video what a typical day in the role would look like.
Such honesty can be its own reward. Research has long suggested that realistic job previews lead to lower turnover and higher employee satisfaction. A paper in 2011 by David Earnest of Towson University and his co-authors concluded that favourable perceptions of the organization's honesty are the best explanation for why. So a process designed to uncover the truth about job applicants would run a lot more smoothly if firms were also honest about themselves.
32. Why are “leader” and “enthusiast ” mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To present a rule. B. To give examples.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a phenomenon.
33. What does the underlined word “stretch” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Overturn. B. Overstate. C. Overlook. D. Overestimate.
34. What are job previews expected to be like in paragraph 4?
A. They show a position as it is.
B. They are made either in text or video.
C. They are favorable for bigger firms.
D. They mainly contain negatives of a job.
35. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A Pains and gains of employees.
B. Dishonest behavior of companies.
C. How to be more appealing in hiring.
D. How to get the lying out of hiring.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon. My assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet. All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself.
“Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face.
“May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A gentle voice caught our attention.
“Tommy, your show time!” I shouted and gave him a thumb-up.
Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my smartphone, ready to shoot.
With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But there was one problem for me-I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable.
“Come on, Tommy!” Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step.
Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug!
