She couldn’t sit still, and her favorite place was the trampoline (蹦床) in her grandparents’ backyard, where she jumped and twisted (扭动) in the air for hours. Simone was born in 1997. When she was 6 years old, her day-care group went on a field trip to a gym. Simone loved watching the gymnasts train and perform. She couldn’t just watch them, though she had to try their moves. She was so good that one of the coaches sent a letter home with her, inviting Simone to take gymnastics classes. Simone loved the classes, and she was excellent at climbing, swinging and jumping. She had a lot to learn, though. Most of the gymnasts in her class had started lessons when they began to learn to walk. At 6, Simone was the oldest child in her class. But that would change quickly. Several times a year, the gym would hold exhibitions to demonstrate the gymnasts’ skills. At one of these, young gymnasts had to climb 10 feet up a rope, using just their arms and holding their legs straight in front of them. Simone was so strong that she climbed 20 feet into the air. At 9, Simone learned why she couldn’t sit still; She had ADHD (注意缺陷障碍). Her brain moved fast and her body did too, which made it hard for her to concentrate in school. “The challenges we face help us become who we are,” Simone wrote. “My challenge is also my superpower: ADHD.” Simone’s superpower would help make her one of the most brilliant gymnasts ever seen. At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, including the all-around. She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. That’s the most in world gymnastics history. So outstanding is she that several signature moves have been named after Simone. 1. What does the underlined word “bouncy” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Confident. B. Active . C. Curious. D. Gifted. 2. What does the writer want to show with the exhibition in paragraph 4? A. Simone liked to show off. B. Simone didn’t need to learn more. C. How excellently Simone performed. D. Why Simone fell behind her classmates. 3. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Simone’s superpower. B. Simone’s signature moves. C. Simone’s great achievements. D. Simone’s experience in competitions. 4. What does Simone’s story convey? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Talent is the key to success. D. Challenges can be superpower. VII.完形填空 A Canadian neighbourhood came together to surprise a young basketball fan.

C 考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知，体操馆举办表演赛是为了展示运动员的技术。其中，此项目要求参赛队员爬上 10 英尺高的绳子，而 Simone 非常强壮，她可以爬到 20 英尺高的空中。由此可推知，在第四段中提到表演赛是为了说明 Simone Biles 的表现非常优秀。故选 C。 3.C 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“At age 16, she won two gold medals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, including the all-around. She has now won 25 world medals, 19 of them gold. That’s the most in world gymnastics history.”可知，文章最后一段充分展示了 Simone Biles 所取得的成就。故选 C。 4.D 考查主旨大意。根据倒数第二段“At 9, Simone learned…the most brilliant gymnasts ever seen.”及最后一段中提到的 Simone Biles 取得的伟大成就可知，Simone Biles 的成功故事向我们说明挑战可以让一个人获得成功，即挑战可以成为超能力。故选 D。 VI.完型填空 1.B 考查名词。根据下文中的“the teenager who couldn’t leave his ball at all”和第二段第一句“Anthony Mwobike, 14, used to practise basketball every day for hours on his driveway in Edmonton.”可知，Anthony Mwobike 喜欢篮球这项运动。故选 B 项。 2.C 考查动词。根据上一句“Anthony Mwobike, 14, used to practise basketball every day for hours on his driveway in Edmonton.”可知，此处是指 Anthony 在没有合适的装备的情况下练习篮球。故选 C 项。 3.A 考查名词。根据第一段第一句“A Canadian neighbourhood came together to surprise a young basketball fan.”可知，Ian Ray 是 Anthony 的一位邻居。故选 A 项。 4.D 考查动词。根据下一句“In the Facebook post, Ian people to help the kid with a new basketball net.”可知，此处是指 Ian Ray 在网上发帖筹集资金。故选 D 项。 5.A 考查动词。根据下文中的“Many people ______ their used nets and the company Canadian Tire ______ Anthony a hoop (篮筐) and a basketball.”可知，此处是指 Ian Ray 在网上鼓励人们帮助这个孩子。故选 A 项。 6.A 考查动词。根据语境可知，许多人给 Anthony 提供用过的球网，以帮助他练习篮球。故选 A 项。 7.C 考查动词。根据“…Anthony a hoop（篮筐）and a basketball.”可知，加拿大轮胎公司也给 Anthony 提供了帮助，给他赠送了篮筐和篮球。故选 C 项。 8.D 考查名词。根据上文内容和下文“…with which they go” Anthony a pair of sports shoes.”可知，社区也收到了一些现金捐款。故选 D 项。 9.C 考查动词。根据语境可知，筹钱的目的是帮助 Anthony，所以此处是指社区用收到的现金捐款为 Anthony 买了运动鞋。故选 C 项。 10.
