All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up. “I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said. I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father. I started pacing again. “I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued. Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along. Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain. Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头)，the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said. I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat. 4. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive. 5. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father? A. He had never fished in the rain. B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip. C. He and his own father usually went fishing there. D. He wanted to have a better relationship with his sons. 6. What can we know about Jeremy? A. He doesn’t enjoy fishing. B He dislikes outdoor activities. C. He is addicted to playing the guitar. D. He showed no interest in the fishing trip. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express the fondness for a particular day. B. To describe a fishing experience in the rain. C. To reflect on the old family tradition of fishing. D. To recall the generation gap between father and brother. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了爸爸带两个孩子去钓鱼，无奈遇到雨天，在一番等待和内心的挣扎后，冒雨钓鱼的故事。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据首段末句“All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. (雨一整天打在我们小屋的屋顶上。)”以及第二段末句“I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up. (我在房间里踱来踱去，偶尔朝父亲方向看一眼，看看雨有没有______的迹象。)”可知，一整天都在下雨，作者看望外面，应是看看有没有雨停的迹象。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句“This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father. (这次旅行对他意义重大。他以前常和自己的父亲来这里。)”可知，钓鱼之旅对作者的父亲很重要的原因是他和他的父亲经常去那里钓鱼。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said.(“我希望我们永远不要来这个无聊的地方，”杰里米说。)”以及第六段““I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued.(“我的意思是，如果我们呆在家里，至少我可以看电视，和朋友出去玩，或者弹吉他，”杰里米继续说。 )”可知， 杰里米对钓鱼之旅一点兴趣都没有。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. (结果并不是我们想象中的钓鱼之旅。这肯定不是爸爸承诺的。雨整天打在我们小屋的屋顶上。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了描述雨天的钓鱼之旅。故选B。 C According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’ s languages will have died. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages spare no effect to fight back. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world. For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back and survive. 8. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show? A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language development. C. Human activity has an influence on languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 9. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do? A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 10. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project? A. It is portable but very expensive. B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 11. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph? A. Be enriched. B. Be lost. C. Be acquired. D. Be invented. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了全世界使用的语言总数中至少有 43% 面临灭绝的危险，到本世纪末，世界上至少有一半的语言会消亡。科学家认为，数字化可能是我们在网络世界中保留其中一些迅速消失的语言的唯一希望。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. (根据联合国教科文组织分享的统计数据，全世界使用的语言中至少有43%面临灭绝的危险。此外，现在世界上许多语言的使用者不到1000人)”可知，43% 的语言面临灭绝，一些语言的使用者人数甚至不超过1000人，这些数字是说明很多语言濒临灭绝。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. (例如，牛津大学出版社几年前推出了牛津全球语言，倡导“数字代表性不足”的语言。他们专注于推广可能在全球有近一百万使用者的语言，但很少或根本没有在线存在。因此，他们一直在创建数字词典作为帮助保存它们的基本构建块)”可知，Oxford Global Languages 在创建数字词典，努力以数字的形式保存一些语言的基本构建块。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information.Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.(有无数其他类似的项目具有相同的目标。另一个是罗塞塔项目，该项目旨在创建一个手持式数字图书馆，将承载1500多种语言。它的大小将适当，以适合我们的手，并将提供大约13000页的信息。像这样的项目的主要目标是确保在当地语言使用者去世后很长一段时间内得到保护)”可知， Rosetta Project项目的目标是确保当地的语言在使用者在去世之后很长一段时间后可以得到保护，即它保护了语言的多样性。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文第四段最后一句“Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.(像这样的项目的主要目标是确保在当地语言使用者去世后很长一段时间内得到保护)”和下文最后一段第二句“Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss.(当然，我们不能仅仅依靠数字化来应对全球语言的流失) ”可知，此处指的是语言使用者逝世之后，语言就会消失，而科学家们现在在用数字化保护这些语言，确保在语言使用者逝世后语言依然可以得到保护，故推测perish是“消失”的意思。故选B项。 D They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.” 12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 13. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知，C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为本文标题。故选C。 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.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious. When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA. He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting. Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game. It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line. 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。 His first shot bounced around but missed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】His first shot bounced around but missed. As soon as Kevin’s teammates had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in the certain place near the free-throw line. He shot it slowly, but he missed it again. Nevertheless, all the players of his team kept throwing the ball to him and clapped him with encouragement. Very soon the audience figured out what was happening, so one by one they stood up and clapped their hands. The whole playground thundered with the clapping and shouting, “Kevin! Kevin!” And Kevin just kept shooting. Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. With arms shooting high into the air, Kevin shouted, “I won! I won!” He jumped high and hugged every teammate excitedly. Everyone could see tears welling in his eyes. They began to shout wildly and clap their hands to congratulate him. The feathery snow danced in the late afternoon air, making a beautiful sight. The clock ticked off the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. Even though they lost this game again that afternoon, everyone left the playground truly feeling like a winner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物线索展开，讲述了Kevin是个“迟钝”的男孩，但和其他人相处的很好，他加入了他的老师Randy组建的篮球队，Kevin热爱篮球，但是他投不进球，球队输掉了所有的比赛。在赛季结束时，他们不幸地与第一名的球队比赛，虽然比对方落后很多，但是Kevin的队友觉得应该让Kevin投篮，每次Kevin所在的球队拿到球，Kevin都要站在罚球线附近他的特殊位置，然后他们就会把球给他。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“他的第一球弹过，但没有击中”可知，第一段可描写Kevin第一次失败后大家的举动，所有人都为Kevin鼓掌，鼓励他。 ②由第二段首句“最后，球弹了一下，出乎意料地进去了”可知，第二段要描写Kevin进球后大家的反应和感想。 2. 续写线索： Kevin投球不进——观众加油助力——Kevin进球——Kevin、队友、观众的反应——虽输犹胜——感想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓掌：clap/applaud ②拥抱：hug /embrace ③大喊：shout/yell 情绪类 ①兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement ②疯狂地：wildly/crazily 【点睛】【高分句型1】Very soon the audience figured out what was happening, so one by one they stood up and clapped their hands. （运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Even though they lost this game again that afternoon, everyone left the playground truly feeling like a winner.（运用了even though引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024级高二入学考试 英语试题 (满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 选择题部分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共5 小题;每小题 1.5分,满分 7.5分) 听下面5 段对话，每段对话后有一个小题。从题中所给的 A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

B It was not turning out to be the great fishing trip we had imagined. It certainly was not the one Father had promised. All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin. Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up. “I wish we’d never come out to this boring place,” Jeremy said. I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn’t. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to come out here with own father. I started pacing again. “I mean, if we’d stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,” Jeremy continued. Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to come along. Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. “Come on, get up, Jeremy,” he said. “Let’s go fishing, boys.” He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain. Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock (码头)，the wind whipping (打) at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. “He's crazy if he thinks I’m going with him,” he said. “Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now,” he said. I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn’t believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn’t quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat. 4. What does the underlined phrase “let up” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stop. B. Continue. C. Hit. D. Arrive. 5. Why was the fishing trip important for the author’s father? A. He had never fished in the rain. B. It’s his son Jeremy’s first fishing trip. C He and his own father usually went fishing there. D. He wanted to have a better relationship with his sons. 6. What can we know about Jeremy? A. He doesn’t enjoy fishing. B. He dislikes outdoor activities. C. He is addicted to playing the guitar. D. He showed no interest in the fishing trip. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express the fondness for a particular day. B. To describe a fishing experience in the rain. C. To reflect on the old family tradition of fishing. D. To recall the generation gap between father and brother. C According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists (语言学家) and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world’ s languages will have died. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages spare no effect to fight back. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world. For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating “digitally underrepresented” languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died. Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course, we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back and survive. 8. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show? A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language development. C. Human activity has an influence on languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 9. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do? A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 10. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project? A. It is portable but very expensive. B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 11. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish” in the last paragraph? A. Be enriched. B. Be lost. C. Be acquired. D. Be invented. D They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.” 12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 13. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination 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. Group discussions are a way of expressing your thoughts and opinions with other people.

He didn’t learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin’s enthusiasm for life was quite infectious. When Kevin joined the boys’ school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you’d think he was preparing for the NBA. He liked to stand in a certain place near the free-throw line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. “Look at me, Coach!” he’d shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting. Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn’t help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one—the night when it snowed and the other team couldn’t make it to the game. It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the last-place team, they played against the first-place team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin’s team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point one of Kevin’s teammates called time-out. As he came to the side, Randy couldn’t imagine why the time-out had been called. “Coach,” said the boy. “This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he’s never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the free-throw line. 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。 His first shot bounced around but missed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
