To hold a pencil， she must balance it between her wrists， then use her arms to push it along the page. But that didn’t stop her from winning a national handwriting contest when she was in first grade. 　　In the two years since， she has taken on greater challenges. Last week， she won another national handwriting contest， this one for cursive （草书）. And by all accounts from her teachers at Greenbrier Christian Academy， she has become an accomplished artist. 　　Anaya isn’t one to boast about her successes. She unwillingly says they make her proud but adds that they come from “lots of practice”. 　　Her friends at school said， “She inspires everybody by what she does and how she does it.” Anaya’s mother says， “Being a parent can be scary. No one wants their child to fail， and raising one who was born with a disability can heighten that protective instinct.” Before Anaya was born， doctors knew about her condition， although not its cause. Other than having no hands， she is a regular 9-year-old girl. 　　“Anaya succeeds because she is not afraid to fail，” Middleton said. The two began practicing cursive last year， when Anaya was in second grade. She struggled sometimes， because unlike traditional penmanship， which allows for breaks after each letter， cursive words are written straight through — and added effort for someone who must balance rather than hold the pencil. 　　Middleton could see her daughter thinking through the challenge， figuring out how she could do better. She’d get frustrated at times， but she never hesitated to do things as often as it took to get them right. 　　“I don’t think I’ve ever heard Anaya say I can’t do something，” Middleton said. 1.How did Anaya make her writing？（　　） A.By hand. B.With her arms. C.With her wrists. D.With her mouth. 2.Why did Anaya’s mother say being a parent can be scary？（　　） A.Because she doesn’t want her child to fail. B.Because she loves her child very much. C.Because raising one who was born with a disability can be a burden. D.Because she wants to protect her child from failing. 3.According to the passage， what kind of person do you think Anaya is？（　　） A.Brave， hard-working and proud. B.Brave， warm-hearted and kind. C.Brave， diligent and modest. D.Brave， diligent and shy. 4.What would be the best title for the text？（　　） A.Girl Without Hands Inspires Everybody B.A Special Artist C.Mother and Daughter D.We Can Do Everything That We Want B 　　“Never give up！ Never give up！” sang my two young children， Max and Charley， as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi on another adventure， off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and beating the waves. This time， they were seeking the ice cream truck. 　　Over the years， Mimi had become our family’s source of positivity through her effort. My father’s death left her to raise me and my ten-year-old brother alone at forty. She faced tragedy that is powerful enough to cloud just about anyone’s outlook. Instead， she challenged herself to find joy every day. She was always up for a new challenge， whether parasailing over the Gulf of Mexico， or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example， Mom taught us how much one could accomplish with a positive attitude. 　　She has taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren. Prior to starting her adventure with Max and Charley that hot July afternoon， Mimi heard the familiar sound of the ice cream man’s bell from her beach chair. The ice cream man’s visit is a daily occurrence at the beach， but one must be quick to catch his truck. Max and Charley were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day， until Mimi’s eyes sparkled and explained that they could rush to find it at its next stop. 　　They walked block after block. My kids’ tiny legs were tired， but they went on. After about twenty minutes’ walking， Max spoke out loud， “Maybe we should give up.” Charley responded with a quick “No way！ Never give up！” and resumed her singing with Mimi. 　　Just two blocks later， they found it. Max and Charley screamed with excitement， “Never give up！” Simple though it was， that phrase has become our battle cry （口号） for the challenges we face. Upon hearing those words， they are instantly transported to a positive state of mind — where the next ice cream truck is just around the corner. 5.Why were Max and Charley marching barefoot？（　　） A.To get some extra exercise on the beach. B.To meet their grandma’s special request. C.To run after the truck for an ice cream. D.To build sand castles and fight the waves. 6.What can we learn about Mimi from paragraph 2？（　　） A.She was optimistic despite misfortune. B.She once had a bright prospect in life. C.She was dominant in her community. D.She developed an interest in adventure. 7.How did Charley react to Max’s disappointment？（　　） A.She blamed him for being loud. B.She took the chance to be outstanding. C.She turned to Mimi for some advice. D.She opposed him and went on seeking. 8.What lesson can we learn from the story？（　　） A.Self-trust is the first secret of success. B.Remain positive in times of difficulties. C.Seize a chance in life before it disappears. D.Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　Being able to see the bright side of life goes beyond mere optimism. 9.（　　） Want to know what people who see the bright side of life do differently？Here are the qualities they all have in common. ·They don’t expect life to be easy. 　　People who keep on looking at the bright side of things have accepted that life is anything but easy.Traffic might be bad every now and then.Their job applications might get rejected.10.（　　） But in the end， they can brush them off and just enjoy whatever can be enjoyed in the moment. ·They make it a habit to always find a silver lining. 　　Trying to find a silver lining when they’re dealt a bad hand in life is why optimistic people manage to be so positive.11.（　　） But hey， maybe they can just use the time and money for something more important.They accept that bad things simply happen sometimes， but they try to see what good they can make out of it. ·12.（　　） 　　They are appreciative of whatever life has to offer — from the insects flying around their garden to the ice cream melting （融化） in their mouth.When you’re willing to see the beauty in everything around you， you’re more likely to spot good things when they happen to you. ·They forgive. 　　Some people may treat us badly or make mistakes that cost us dearly.And it’s hard to see the bright side of life if we insist on carrying around the weight of all the anger and regret.Optimistic persons refuse to let themselves be weighed down.13.（　　） A.They count their blessings. B.They see beauty in the ordinary. C.They might feel upset about all of these. D.Perhaps their favorite event got canceled. E.It’s being able to find beauty and hope in everything. F.The most optimistic people have experienced great suffering. G.They forgive those who had done them wrong and look forward to a new start. Ⅲ.语法填空 　　Zhong Tianshi didn’t seem to have made 14.　　　　　　 point of recalling the moment when she won the Olympic championship.In 2016， Zhong won China’s 15.　　　　　　 （one） track cycling gold at the Rio Olympics.Five years later， Zhong won gold in the women’s team sprint （竞速赛） at the Tokyo Olympics. 　　Zhong Tianshi 16.　　　　　　 （regard） as a talented track cyclist， but few know she suffered from a serious injury in 2019， 17.　　　　　　 threw a cloud over her cycling career.In a team training before the 2019 World Championships， Zhong fell off her bike， breaking three bones.“So after 18.　　　　　　 （win） the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics， I was calm rather than excited.All the challenges I had faced became worthwhile，” she said. 　　Zhong stressed the only way to the top is to endure the hard training day in and day out.She can’t forget the most 19.　　　　　　 （pain） training days.After she finished training， she felt her legs were not her own and had to ask for 20.　　　　　　 （assist） to get out of the car.Zhong mentioned again and again that even with talent， it is difficult 21.　　　　　　 （reach） the top if you don’t put in 100 per cent effort. 　　Zhong 22.　　　　　　 （retire） from racing in 2023.But cycling is still her deep love.Her inspiration is not in the moment of glory （荣誉），23.　　　　　　 in the ability to stand up when she falls down. 5 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
