Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an “Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
4. What happened to Ada in her childhood?
A. She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B. She had to compare herself with other women.
C. She gave up learning because of her father’s nature.
D. She had no father any more.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ada thought poetry was boring.
B. Ada thought science was creative.
C. Ada was interested in both science and poetry.
D. Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
6. What decided Ada’s professional life?
A. Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville.
B. Somerville’s suggestions.
C. Her husband’s encouragement.
D. Her communication with Babbage.
7. What did Ada do after she met Babbage?
A. She taught people how to program.
B. She invented an “Analytical Engine”.
C. She translated an article and developed it.
D. She praised Babbage’s achievements.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了女科学家阿达·洛芙莱斯的主要事迹,展现了她对科学知识的热爱。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. (为了阻止这种情况的发生,艾达的母亲强迫她学习科学和数学,这在当时的女性中并不常见。)”可知,阿达的母亲强迫她学习科学知识。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time.(艾达的母亲和父亲(著名诗人乔治·戈登·拜伦勋爵)在她出生几周后就分手了。她的母亲担心她在父亲喜怒无常的性格下长大。为了阻止这种情况的发生,艾达的母亲强迫她学习科学和数学,这在当时的女性中并不常见。)”可知,阿达的父亲是英国诗人拜伦。她的父母分开之后,她的母亲不愿阿达继承拜伦身上感性、多变的特质,于是她强迫阿达学习数学和科学,并对她严格要求。对于母亲的想法,阿达了然于心。划线处与上文中的“keeping the creative side of her from germinating(让她的创造力无法萌发)”为顺承关系,目的是为了引出阿达说的话“如果不让我学习诗歌,那么至少让我学习富有诗意的科学”。结合上文中提到的阿达对数学表现出了浓厚的兴趣,我们可以推断,阿达将 poetry和science进行比较,说明她认为科学如诗歌般具有创造性。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.(被这个想法吸引,阿达开始和他一起写信,后来决定了她的职业生涯。)”可知,阿达与查尔斯·巴贝奇针对科学知识展开的交流一定程度上决定了阿达以后的职业生涯。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新).(她不仅翻译了这篇文章,还添加了一页又一页的注释、计算和创新。)”可知,她不仅翻译了学术文章,并加注了很多自己原创的见解。故选C。
C
When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says,”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She is trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
8. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A. To promote guilt-free fur.
B. To expand the fashion market.
C. To introduce a new brand.
D. To celebrate a winter holiday.
9. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B. Nutria are an endangered species.
C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
10. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed.
11. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地,因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措,科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.得知,美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀,时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服,项目总监Cree McCree说:“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地,否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”,可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏,这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail.得知,科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们5美元,可以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡,。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 得知,毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制,但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时,这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据but判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词collapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt –free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least in New York. ” 得知,为了给人们一种无罪的选择,人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆,我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情,根据模特摩根所说得知,在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。故选B。
D
If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding it’s own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life,” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery.”
The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service in Milton Keynes, England. The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, told The Washington Post's Maura Judkis last year. “If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb the edges of a road.”
By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft. In its announcement, the company cited statistics from a Wakefield Research Poll for Comcast last year that found that 3 in 10 Americans who live in houses or townhouses have had packages stolen.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company's app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon, com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
12. Which can best replace the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 2?
A. failure B. expectation C. safety D. trouble
13. What problem is the delivery robot facing?
A. There is a limit to its service area.
B. It takes longer to deliver packages.
C. It covers a short distance each time.
D. It can’t sense the barriers 20 feet away.
14. How does the package by a robot avoid being stolen?
A. The company shortens the delivery hour.
B. The package is delivered to the house directly.
C. Its delivery time is in the control of customers.
D. The customers are informed of its delivery time in advance.
15. What can be inferred about Starship Delivery Address in the last paragraph?
A. It is a real home address of the customers.
B. It can arrange delivery robots for the customers.
C. It is a cheaper solution to the delivery of packages.
D. It sends the packages mainly to some shopping platforms.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项新科技发明——世界上第一个机器人包裹递送服务。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的内容介绍的人工投递的不便之处可知,此处指为快递而重新安排生活的麻烦将成为过去,由此可知画线词词义为“麻烦”,故D项正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet”可知,快递机器人面对的问题是包裹递送服务还没有提供给每一个人,也就是说它的服务范围有限,故A项正确。
【14题详解】
34. C细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft”可知,通过让客户控制送货时间,该公司将其服务定位为打击包裹盗窃的一种方式,故C项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot”可知,一旦包裹被送到Starship Delivery Address,客户就会收到一个文本,允许他们通过机器人安排一次家庭递送,由此可知,它能够为顾客准备好递送机器人,故B项正确。
【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大,抓住画线词后起解释说明或举例说明作用的句子是关键,例如本篇第1题,根据画线词后的“You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery.”可知,介绍人工投递的不便之处可知,你不必因而错过了送货而在家里工作、重新安排会议、去储物柜、开车去邮局或联系快递员,这些都是人工投递的不便之处,此处指为快递而重新安排生活的麻烦将成为过去的事情,由此可知画线词词义为“麻烦”。

47. 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。
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the same.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“Don’t lose heart. You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.
My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner.
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。
However, when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite the cheering of my classmates, I was almost the last to cross the finish line.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
However, when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. Suddenly, I heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
Despite the cheering of my classmates, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. In relief, I was so tired that I knelt down on the track. My sweat streamed down my face, my arms and my legs. Immediately, my classmates rushed to me, held my arms, and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with towels and all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. That sports meet is an unforgettable experience, which gives me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential.
【解析】
【分析】文章以我为线索展开,讲述作者成长中的故事。我因为害怕体育,所以遭到同学们的嘲笑。因为一次错误,我的名字被写入了女子1500米比赛的名单中,而我的同桌,作为一个天生的运动员,在自己已经报名参加了三项比赛的情况下,鼓励我,并陪同我一起练习。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而,当我站在起跑线后面的时候,我不再感到孤独和害怕。”可知,第一段可描写在比赛开始后,我竭尽全力跑,但因为自身原因,终于还是慢了下来。同桌给我加油。
②由第二段首句内容“尽管我的同学们都在欢呼,但我几乎是最后一个冲过终点线的。”可知,第二段可描写冲过终点线后的我的动作,同学们给我的安慰给了我温暖,给了我信心。
2.续写线索:
不再害怕——尽力跑——速度慢下来——同桌鼓励——冲过终点——瘫坐在地——同学冲向我——同学们的慰问给了我信心

Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an “Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的) calculations. Ada was later asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming. Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
4. What happened to Ada in her childhood?
A. She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B. She had to compare herself with other women.
C. She gave up learning because of her father’s nature.
D. She had no father any more.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Ada thought poetry was boring.
B. Ada thought science was creative.
C. Ada was interested in both science and poetry.
D. Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
6. What decided Ada’s professional life?
A. Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville.
B. Somerville’s suggestions.
C. Her husband’s encouragement.
D. Her communication with Babbage.
7. What did Ada do after she met Babbage?
A. She taught people how to program.
B. She invented an “Analytical Engine”.
C. She translated an article and developed it.
D. She praised Babbage’s achievements.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says,”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She is trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
8. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A. To promote guilt-free fur.
B. To expand the fashion market.
C. To introduce a new brand.
D. To celebrate a winter holiday.
9. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B. Nutria are an endangered species.
C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
10. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed.
11. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional.
D
If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding it’s own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life,” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a deliveryman all because of a missed delivery.”
The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service in Milton Keynes, England. The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, told The Washington Post's Maura Judkis last year. “If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb the edges of a road.”
By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is offering its service as a way to battle package theft. In its announcement, the company cited statistics from a Wakefield Research Poll for Comcast last year that found that 3 in 10 Americans who live in houses or townhouses have had packages stolen.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company's app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon, com. Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
12. Which can best replace the underlined word “hassle” in paragraph 2?
A. failure B. expectation C. safety D. trouble
13. What problem is the delivery robot facing?
A. There is a limit to its service area.
B. It takes longer to deliver packages.
C. It covers a short distance each time.
D. It can’t sense the barriers 20 feet away.
14. How does the package by a robot avoid being stolen?
A. The company shortens the delivery hour.
B. The package is delivered to the house directly.
C. Its delivery time is in the control of customers.
D. The customers are informed of its delivery time in advance.
15. What can be inferred about Starship Delivery Address in the last paragraph?
A. It is a real home address of the customers.
B. It can arrange delivery robots for the customers.

47. 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。
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the same.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“Don’t lose heart. You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.
My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner.
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。
However, when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Despite the cheering of my classmates, I was almost the last to cross the finish line.
