When Jack was ten years old, he watched a documentary about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The ideas of natural healing (治愈) and balance in the body immediately fascinated him. From then on, he decided to learn more about TCM. He saved his pocket money to buy books about Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and other treatments, studying the basics on his own. As Jack grew older, his passion for TCM became stronger. After finishing high school, he decided to travel to China to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine. He attended a well-known TCM school in Beijing. The study there was very demanding. Every day, Jack attended lectures on Chinese medical theory and practiced acupuncture and herbal medicine under the guidance of experienced teachers. Although the studies were difficult and sometimes confusing because of many differences, Jack worked hard and never gave up. In the beginning, Jack faced many challenges communicating with his teachers and classmates, as he did not know much Chinese. However, he learned important medical terms in Chinese, such as “zhong yi” (Chinese medicine), “zhen jiu” (acupuncture), and “cao yao” (herbs). With continuous effort, he gradually improved his language skills and better understood the lessons. After years of careful study and practice, Jack became skilled in many aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He learned how to diagnose (诊断) illnesses by observing patients’ pulse and tongue and how to treat various conditions using acupuncture and herbal medicine. He often took part in TCM workshops and received recognition for his knowledge. When Jack returned to the United States, he wanted to share the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine with his local community. He opened a small clinic where he treated patients patiently using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other natural methods. Many people in his town began to trust and appreciate the treatments he provided. 4. What inspired Jack Anderson to study TCM? A. A trip to China when he was young. B. A film that introduced him to TCM. C. His parents’ recommendation of TCM. D. A book about TCM he found in a library. 5. Which words can best describe Jack Anderson? A. Curious and determined. B. Energetic and flexible. C. Generous and respected. D. Athletic and accessible. 6. What made Jack’s study in China challenging at first? A. Language barriers in class and life. B. Strict teachers and high tuition fees. C. Limited chances to praetice medicine. D. Unfamiliar culture and local customs. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Challenges of Learning TCM B. A Foreigner’s Introduction to TCM C. A Journey to Master and Promote TCM D. The Benefits of TCM in Modern Society 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7.

All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines like daily housework and weekly shopping. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis. Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community (社会)groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified(识别)by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do. Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions(情感)connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we learn, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures. 8. The underlined word “routines” in paragraph1 is closest in meaning to________. A. Hobbies B. behaviors C. formal activities D. daily activities 9. Where does the real strength of culture live? A. In arts B. In societies C. In families D. In languages 10. How can people appreciate cultural differences? A. By building a wall B. By preparing to fight C. By communicating D. By making friends 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. What is Culture? B. What is Society? C. What is Tradition? D. What is System? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对文化这一概念做了简要介绍。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词下文“like daily housework and weekly shopping(比如每天的家务和每周的购物)”可推理出划线词的含义为每日的活动，故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The real strength of culture is in larger community (社会)groups. These larger groups are called societies.( 文化的真正力量在于更大的社区群体。这些较大的群体被称为社会)”可知，文化的真正力量在社会，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we learn, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures.(人们正在学习更好的沟通方式。我们学习得越多，就越能体会到不同文化之间的差异)”可知，人们通过沟通理解文化差异，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family.( 那么什么是文化呢？这是我们在一个群体中的行为方式。它从每个家庭开始)”、第二段“Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community (社会)groups.( 文化并不局限于个别家庭群体。文化的真正力量在于更大的社区群体。这些较大的群体被称为社会)”以及最后一段“Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions(情感)connecting us to our own society.( 我们的文化帮助我们了解自己和我们的信仰。有非常强烈的情感将我们与我们自己的社会联系在一起)”可知，第一段提出了“什么是文化”这个问题，后面段落就这个问题进行了解释，A项“什么是文化？”适合作文章标题，故选A项。 D Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem. I’ve spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to evidence. However, it passionate about your complicated. “follow your passion” was flawed, for it lacks scientific doesn’t mean you should abandon the goal of feeling work. The reality emphasizes that the things are quite. Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy, respect, competence, creativity, and a sense of impact. In other words, if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood, don’t seek the perfect job, but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have. Passion is elusive (难捉摸的). Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion, but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly “valuable”, for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection. Passion is dangerous. I’ve watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hopping due to the “follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion, and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness, reality will always pale in comparison. Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you’re seeking a dream job, you’ll end up frustrated, again and again. Don’t set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate, but it’s a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going. 12. People satisfied with their careers are _____. A. autonomous and passionate B. creative and passionate C. respectable and sensitive D. creative and competent 13. What is the author’s advice on achieving career satisfaction? A. Figuring out what one will do in the future. B Matching the pre-existing passion to one’s work. C. Developing passion for what one is doing. D. Discovering skills that lead to interesting careers. 14. The underlined sentence in Para.5 probably means that _____. A. it’s not easy to match our passion with our jobs B. we shouldn’t think everyone has a pre-existing passion C. high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointment D. workplace happiness doesn’t require a pre-existing passion 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the advice of “following your passion”? A. Neutral. B. Disapproving. C. Cautious. D. Supportive. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是工作中常听到的“Follow your passion”这句话的不合理之处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy, respect, competence, creativity, and a sense of impact.(拥有令人满意的职业的人享受以下特征的组合：自主权、尊重、能力、创造力和影响力。)”可知，对自己的事业满意的人是有创造力和能力的。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Don’t set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it.(不要去发现激情。相反，开始培养它。)”可知，作者对实现职业满意度的建议是培养对所做事情的热情。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Passion is dangerous. I’ve watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hopping due to the “follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations.(激情是危险的。我看到太多的同龄人因为“追随你的激情”的建议而陷入焦虑和长期跳槽。问题在于期望。)”和“If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion, and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness, reality will always pale in comparison.(如果你相信我们每个人都有一种预先存在的激情，并且将其与工作相匹配将会立即带来工作场所的快乐，那么相比之下，现实总是苍白的。)”可知，第5段中划线的句子可能意思是对工作激情的过高期望会带来失望，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“But this can be a problem.(但这可能是个问题。)”和倒数第二段的“Passion is dangerous. I’ve watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hopping due to the “follow your passion” advice.(激情是危险的。我看到太多的同龄人因为“追随你的激情”的建议而陷入焦虑和长期跳槽。)”可知，作者对“追随你的热情”这条建议的态度是不赞成的，故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____17____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对音乐为什么总是会唤起人们的某些回忆进行了解释。 【16题详解】 根据前文“It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past.(我们每个人都有过这样的经历：收音机里响起一首歌，我们立刻被传送回过去的某个时间。)”和后文“There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.(有一些东西可以将音乐与我们的记忆联系起来。)”可知，此处是指音乐是如何与我们的回忆联系在一起的，所以选项C“但是什么让音乐在这方面如此有效呢？”切合文意。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention.(音乐往往是许多重要生活事件的必要元素，它也非常有效地吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，此处是指因此音乐和生活事件有可能在我们的记忆里产生联系，所以选项G“音乐和这些生活事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起。”切合文意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.(原因是我们更有可能一遍又一遍地听一首歌，而不是用同样的方式看电影或电视节目。)”可知，此处是指比起电影或电视节目等音乐更有可能唤起回忆，所以选项E“比起其他文化产品，这更适用于音乐。”切合文意。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据后文“She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.(她告诉我们，由于这一特点，在整个历史中，口头文化是如何通过歌曲将重要的知识代代相传的。歌词的节奏和韵律都可以帮助记忆。)”可知，此处是指音乐容易记忆，所以选项B“音乐本身很容易记住。”切合文意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据后文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“怀旧性记忆”相吻合，即老年人（40岁以上）对青春期和成年早期发生的事件的回忆增加。)”可知，此处是指我们的音乐喜好通常形成于青少年时期，所以选项D“我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成。”切合文意。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) Have you ever monitored something about yourself?

I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy. My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit. I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships. My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance! Well, as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Today, I teach baseball in a high school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost. I was depressed at the time about the loss of my dream. I talked with my coach Bob Ohm about my failure. He shared the way he became himself now and comforted. “There can be many kinds of dreams in life. As long as you never give up, you can have the chance to realize your dream. The key point is that you need to maximize your strengths and be who you really are.” Thinking of my coach’s words, I decided to continue to play and practise to achieve my next dream of being a baseball teacher in a school. Today, I teach baseball in a high school. The relationships that I have enjoyed with the students and athletes through the years are things that no one can put a price tag on. Although my early dream to play baseball for the Tigers didn’t come true, it created a new dream for me to be a teacher. I am proud of what I am doing because I can help the young go beyond their dreams with my most positive influence on them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了作者从小是底特律老虎队的球迷，梦想成为心目中的英雄Al Kaline，也为老虎队效力。作者坚持练习棒球，在各级比赛中表现很好。后来作者在一个美国退伍军人协会的棒球项目中遇到了优秀的教练Bob Ohm，学到和很多知识和技巧，创造了很多新的纪录。一个夏天，作者参加了一场棒球比赛，希望把握住被球探发现成为最佳球手的机会，但不幸的是他在比赛中犯了几个错误，最后一个错误甚至引起了人们的嘲笑。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛结束后，我知道我打职业棒球的梦想破灭了”可知，第一段可描写作者在知道自己梦想破灭后的心理活动，以及通过和教练Bob Ohm交谈，得到安慰，重新确立自己的梦想。 ②由第二段首句内容“今天，我在一所高中教棒球”可知，第二段可描写作者很享受自己现在的这份工作，以及作者对自己工作意义的理解。 2. 续写线索：梦想破灭——心理活动——交流后确立新的梦想——在高中教棒球——享受工作——工作的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/quit/abandon ②实现：realize/achieve/fulfill ③决定做某事：decide to do sth./determine to do sth. 情绪类 ①沮丧的：depressed/frustrated/downhearted ②安慰：comfort/console 【点睛】[高分句型1] As long as you never give up, you can have the chance to realize your dream.

B Since Jack Anderson was a child, he has been deeply interested in Chinese culture. When Jack was ten years old, he watched a documentary about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The ideas of natural healing (治愈) and balance in the body immediately fascinated him. From then on, he decided to learn more about TCM. He saved his pocket money to buy books about Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and other treatments, studying the basics on his own. As Jack grew older, his passion for TCM became stronger. After finishing high school, he decided to travel to China to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine. He attended a well-known TCM school in Beijing. The study there was very demanding. Every day, Jack attended lectures on Chinese medical theory and practiced acupuncture and herbal medicine under the guidance of experienced teachers. Although the studies were difficult and sometimes confusing because of many differences, Jack worked hard and never gave up. In the beginning, Jack faced many challenges communicating with his teachers and classmates, as he did not know much Chinese. However, he learned important medical terms in Chinese, such as “zhong yi” (Chinese medicine), “zhen jiu” (acupuncture), and “cao yao” (herbs). With continuous effort, he gradually improved his language skills and better understood the lessons. After years of careful study and practice, Jack became skilled in many aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He learned how to diagnose (诊断) illnesses by observing patients’ pulse and tongue and how to treat various conditions using acupuncture and herbal medicine. He often took part in TCM workshops and received recognition for his knowledge. When Jack returned to the United States, he wanted to share the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine with his local community. He opened a small clinic where he treated patients patiently using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other natural methods. Many people in his town began to trust and appreciate the treatments he provided. 4. What inspired Jack Anderson to study TCM? A. A trip to China when he was young. B. A film that introduced him to TCM. C. His parents’ recommendation of TCM. D. A book about TCM he found in a library. 5. Which words can best describe Jack Anderson? A. Curious and determined. B. Energetic and flexible. C. Generous and respected. D. Athletic and accessible. 6. What made Jack’s study in China challenging at first? A. Language barriers in class and life. B. Strict teachers and high tuition fees. C. Limited chances to praetice medicine. D. Unfamiliar culture and local customs. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Challenges of Learning TCM B. A Foreigner’s Introduction to TCM C. A Journey to Master and Promote TCM D. The Benefits of TCM in Modern Society C Our culture is the system we use to build our identity. All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines like daily housework and weekly shopping. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis. Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community (社会)groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified(识别)by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do. Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions(情感)connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we learn, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures. 8. The underlined word “routines” in paragraph1 is closest in meaning to________. A. Hobbies B. behaviors C. formal activities D. daily activities 9. Where does the real strength of culture live? A. In arts B. In societies C. In families D. In languages 10. How can people appreciate cultural differences? A. By building a wall B. By preparing to fight C. By communicating D. By making friends 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. What is Culture? B. What is Society? C. What is Tradition? D. What is System? D Do you want to love what you do for a living? Follow your passion. This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction. But this can be a problem. I’ve spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies we use to seek happiness in our work. It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to evidence. However, it passionate about your complicated. “follow your passion” was flawed, for it lacks scientific doesn’t mean you should abandon the goal of feeling work. The reality emphasizes that the things are quite. Passion is earned. Different people are looking for different things in their work, but generally, people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features: autonomy, respect, competence, creativity, and a sense of impact. In other words, if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood, don’t seek the perfect job, but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have. Passion is elusive (难捉摸的). Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion, but still end up unhappy in their work. The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization. As you become increasingly “valuable”, for example, your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility, as this is what is most useful to your company. However, you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection. Passion is dangerous. I’ve watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and chronic job-hopping due to the “follow your passion” advice. The issue is expectations. If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion, and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness, reality will always pale in comparison. Work is hard. Not every day is fun. If you’re seeking a dream job, you’ll end up frustrated, again and again. Don’t set out to discover passion. Instead, set out to develop it. This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might advocate, but it’s a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going. 12 People satisfied with their careers are _____. A. autonomous and passionate B. creative and passionate C. respectable and sensitive D. creative and competent 13. What is the author’s advice on achieving career satisfaction? A Figuring out what one will do in the future. B. Matching the pre-existing passion to one’s work. C. Developing passion for what one is doing. D. Discovering skills that lead to interesting careers. 14. The underlined sentence in Para.5 probably means that _____. A. it’s not easy to match our passion with our jobs B. we shouldn’t think everyone has a pre-existing passion C. high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointment D. workplace happiness doesn’t require a pre-existing passion 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the advice of “following your passion”? A. Neutral. B. Disapproving. C. Cautious. D. Supportive. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____16____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.

The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____18____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____19____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____20____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题1分,满分 15 分) Have you ever monitored something about yourself?

I was a fan of Detroit Tigers, a famous baseball team, as a young boy. My childhood dream was to be like my hero, Al Kaline, and someday play for the Tigers. My Dad would take me to Tiger Stadium several times a year and my hero Al Kaline would never let me down. We never attended a game that he didn’t get at least one hit. I was crazy about baseball. If there was a game in my high school, I was never absent. I kept practising so that I could achieve my dream of playing for the Tigers, and I was doing well at each level of play. Later, I got a chance to sign up for a strong American Legion baseball program. There I met our coach, Bob Ohm, who knew a lot of baseball and taught each of us the basics as well as more advanced baseball skills. With Bob Ohm’s help and my hard work, I had set new records in many baseball championships. My dream to be like my hero seemed to draw near. One summer, I went up to play the final season in Marinette. There were scouts who came to find the best players. This was it! My big chance! Well, as the game progressed I hit the ball very well getting five hits in the game. Unfortunately, I also made four mistakes. The final mistake actually drew laughter from the crowd. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After the game, I knew my dream of playing professional baseball was lost. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Today, I teach baseball in a high school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
