Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分)

难度:☆☆
“Sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never harm me.” This is an old saying my fourth-grade teacher once told me.I grew up thinking as long as people didn't physically hurt each other,hurtful words were to be tolerated,but I changed my mind after reading Linda O'Connell's story,Two Little Words with a Big Impact.She discussed two words:“and” and “but”,and explained how “but” can be one of the most destructive words.
Then I realized I had been hurt by the word “but”,and that I had wounded others,too,by using the word thoughtlessly.For example,when I was a teacher and edited my students' stories,I would always say their content was good,but then I would add comments such as “but you need to make your characters more realistic”.I could have said,“Your content is good and making your characters more believable will make it even better.”
In setting up guidelines for commenting on writers,I realize we need to praise each other,make helpful remarks,and then praise each other again,without using the word “but”.I remember a college professor who said,“There is no such thing as constructive criticism.Criticism is criticism.” She has now passed on,but her words remain with me always.
My fourth-grade teacher's quote was aimed at what she thought was harmless playground teasing,but even teasing hurts.Today,we can read sad news related to many stories where people have been terribly hurt by ugly words and suffered a lot.Now I realize the importance of thinking before speaking,even to avoid seemingly unimportant words like “but”.Sticks and stones break our bones,but thoughtless words also do harm.They can leave marks for a lifetime.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者由自身经历总结出了“说话前要多思考”的道理。
1.What changed the author's attitude to hurtful words?( )
A.A teacher's advice.
B.His personal experience.

A.The author used “but” too often.
B.The author could tolerate criticism.

D.Realistic characters are needed in writing.
解析:C 推理判断题。第二段第一句提到作者意识到,自己曾被“但是”一词伤害到,而且自己也曾草率地用这个词伤害到了别人。接下来作者讲述了自己在给学生批阅文章时经常使用“但是”一词的经历,所以这一例子是用来说明“but”一词的错误使用会给他人造成伤害。故选C项。
3.Which words can best describe the author?( )
A.Honest and warm-hearted.
B.Devoted and cooperative.
C.Optimistic and open-minded.
D.Caring and self-reflective.
解析:D 推理判断题。由第二、三段以及最后一段中的“Now I realize the importance of thinking before speaking”可知,作者从自身经历意识到使用错误的语言会对他人造成伤害,以及说话前思考的重要性。由此可见,作者关心他人且善于自我反思。故选D项。
4.What is the text mainly about?( )

难度:☆☆☆☆
For the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who've never heard of pickleball,the little-known paddleball game is one of America's fastest-growing sports.
Invented in 1965 by three middle-aged fathers in Washington State,pickleball is an odd cross among tennis,ping-pong and badminton,played with a paddle and a perforated (穿孔的) plastic ball.The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.
Most of pickleball's core players—those who play more than eight times per year—are over age 65,but the game is getting younger,with the strongest growth among players under 55,according to USA Pickleball.But with so many new players,the US is struggling to keep up with the demand for courts.The country has only about 10,000 places to play,by USA Pickleball's count,but that continues to grow by several dozen every month.
Pickleball is also fast becoming a spectator sport (观赏性体育运动).Its first professional tournament,the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) Tour,was formed in 2018 and the professional players are being able to really become celebrities and spotlights.Traditional broadcasters' interest in the sport is growing.So far,pickleball fans can watch amateur and professional matches on sports or social channels,mostly online.
“The ability for a sport to find an audience quickly via social media is unprecedented (前所未有的),” says Ben Shields,who lectures at MIT Sloan School of Management and studies the sports industry.Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences,who has been the key to success for other sports leagues—that also started with grassroots and unusual names.“I think if pickleball,in its own humble way,can continue to grow its participation and find ways to make the sport an appealing fan product,who knows,10 or 20 years later,it could be a big competitor in the global sports industry.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国快速发展的运动项目匹克球。
5.What do we know about the pickleball game from the text?( )
A.It was named after a dog.
B.It was popular among young kids.
C.It's a cross between tennis and volleyball.
D.It was invented by three ordinary women.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The founders are said to have named the game after a family dog called Pickles.”可知,匹克球运动是以一条狗的名字命名的,故选A。
6.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?( )
A.The playing time.
B.The form of matches.
C.The number of courts.
D.The participation rate.
解析:C 代词指代题。根据上文中的“The country has only about 10,000 places to play,by USA Pickleball's count”可知,这个国家只有大约1万个匹克球运动场地,再根据that后面的“continues to grow”可推测,此处指的是“比赛场地的数量”,即比赛场地的数量继续以每个月几十个的速度增长,故选C。
7.Which best describes “a famous star” to pickleball according to Ben Shields?( )
A.Humble. B.Inflexible.
C.Harmful. D.Influential.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Shields adds that pickleball still needs a famous star to draw in wider audiences”可知,“a famous star”的作用是吸引更多的观众,所以推测“a famous star”对于匹克球运动而言应该是具有很大影响的,故选D。
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )
A.The History of Pickleball
B.The Growing Popularity of Pickleball
C.The Rise and Fall of Pickleball
D.The Rules of Playing Pickleball
解析:B 标题归纳题。文章第一段首先引出了匹克球这项运动在美国发展很快,第二段介绍了匹克球的起源,接着介绍了这项运动的发展和前景。所以文章主要都在围绕“匹克球运动的快速发展”这个主题展开,故选B。

1.解析:celebration 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空前是of,且该空有the限定,故需要填名词。故填celebration。
2.解析:was invited 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处为谓语动词。根据时间状语in 2004可知,需要使用一般过去时;又因主语和谓语动词之间是被动关系,故用被动语态;主语Sommier是第三人称单数。故填was invited。
3.解析:Europeans 考查名词的数。根据空前“many other”可知,此处指其他的不止一位欧洲人,需要填名词复数。故填Europeans。
4.解析:immediately 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空后是谓语动词caught,需要用副词修饰动词。故填immediately。
5.解析:and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知,空前和空后均为并列名词。故填and。
6.解析:to pass 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,was touched是谓语动词,空处应为非谓语动词。应用动词不定式作effort的后置定语。故填to pass。
7.解析:an 考查冠词。空后art为名词单数,此处表示泛指,又因“art”的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
8.解析:depends 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处为谓语动词,此处描述客观情况,所以应该用一般现在时;主语the effect of the performance为单数概念;主语与depend为主动关系。故填depends。
9.解析:to 考查介词。此处考查固定短语introduce ...to ...意为“把……介绍给……”,to是介词。故填to。
10.解析:original 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,空后为performances,是名词,需要用形容词修饰。故填original。

The Low-carbon Lifestyle Around Me
“Low-carbon lifestyle” is a concept aiming to lower the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible.At present,this lifestyle is being accepted in my family.
My father used to drive his car to and from work,but things were different in the last Spring Festival,during which he had enough time to experience the low-carbon lifestyle.We visited our relatives and friends by bicycle during the festival,which is good for our health and for the environment.Besides,I remember to turn off the light when I leave my room.I often use things that can be recycled.For example,I use both sides of the paper.
I think it's our duty to live a low-carbon life.Let's put it into action as soon as possible.
第二节(满分25分)
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。
From the day Tony was born,Jeff refused to let his son's disabilities hold him back.Tony has cerebral palsy (脑瘫),making it difficult for him to walk.Determined to show Tony that he could pursue his dream of being an athlete,when he was 15 years old,Jeff signed him up with Team Triumph,an organization that helps kids with disabilities engage in endurance sports.
“It gave me a new perspective on life,”Tony said.He even dreamed of walking marathon one day.From then on,Tony became addicted to racing,and Jeff also wanted to be a part of it.Though Jeff had been a minor league baseball player,endurance (耐力) sports were new to him.He made up his mind to achieve Tony's dream and started doing things he never dreamed about.He began waking up at 4 a.m.So he could run in the silent street while pushing Tony in a special wheelchair called a racing chair.Every morning,he drove himself to run increasingly longer distances.Soon,he and Tony were entering 5K races,then on to Iron-man triathlons.
Finishing the Iron-man competition in under 16 hours would be another dream for Jeff and Tony.The big day came.The race began with a 2.4-mile swim in the river.Jeff helped Tony into a kayak (皮船).With one end of a rope tied to a belt around his back and the other end to the kayak,Jeff eased himself into the water.Swimming while dragging another person is quite tough.The pair completed the swim in 90 minutes,and then it was on to the next leg:a 112-mile bicycle ride.Their custom-built bike had an additional seat in the back for Tony that faced backward.
After completing the demanding bike part in roughly nine hours,they set their sights on the final leg of the race—a 26.2-mile marathon with Jeff pushing Tony in the racing chair.They'd been competing for 10 hours,with only 6 hours left for the race.The first 7 miles went smoothly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But at mile 19,Jeff began to worry they were going too slow.
Jeff handed Tony his rolling walker (助行器).
[参考范文]
But at mile 19,Jeff began to worry they were going too slow.Somehow he found the energy to pick up the pace.With Tony's dream deeply imprinted in his mind,he realized he was not alone in this battle.Clenching his teeth,Jeff used all his strength and will power to push the racing chair.The audience can't help cheering for them.With thunderous applause,they were close to the finishing line.Jeff knew it was time to fulfil Tony's wish.
Jeff handed Tony his rolling walker (助行器).Not that long ago,Tony could barely walk several steps.But after years of painstaking work,he increased his step count and was determined to finish the race on his own.After 15 hours and 55 minutes with just five minutes to spare—father and son crossed the finishing line together.As the crowd engulfed and cheered on an overwhelmed Tony,a weary Jeff kept a low profile.“He didn't want his finish line moment,” says Tony,“He wanted it to be mine.”
