Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned (分配) to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of the Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A．Shame. B．Honour. C．Threat. D．Glory. 25．(2.5分)Why did the author win the Softball Throw event? A．Because she practised a lot. B．Because her father inspired her. C．Because she believed in her skills. D．Because she had advanced sports gloves and hats. 26．(2.5分)What did the author do after stepping into adulthood? A．She stuck to working out. B．She changed the focus into reading. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27．(2.5分)What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The writer chooses to give up sports during holidays. B．Most of the writer’s friends agree with her lifestyle. C．The writer balances sports as well as reading and arts. D．The writer thinks sports are the only part of a rich life. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．A 27．C 【导语】本文主要讲述作者从小学起受父亲影响爱上体育竞技，多年坚持锻炼，认为体育与文艺相结合可以让生活更丰富。 【详解】24．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. (我个子比同龄人矮小，与其说是体育爱好者，不如说是书虫，我曾因在各种体育队中最后一个被选中而遭受那种特殊的humiliation。)”可知，“最后一个被选中”对不爱运动的作者来说是令人难堪的事，因此humiliation意为“羞耻、屈辱”。 25．细节理解题。根据第一段“In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. (在垒球投掷项目中，我第一次尝到了体育胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一位教练——我的父亲的榜样作用。)”可知，作者能赢得垒球投掷项目，是因为父亲的榜样激励了她。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation.(这种早期的基础在成年后继续延续，成为体育和健身的重点，即使在假期也被认为是重要的。)”可知，作者成年后依然坚持锻炼。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.(因此，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到惊讶，但早年打下的（体育）基础在成年后依然延续，体育和健身成了我关注的重点——即便在假期，这也被我视作重要的事。我依然热爱阅读与艺术。在我看来，双脚同时踏在这两个领域，生活才最富足圆满)”可知, 作者既坚持运动健身，也依旧热爱阅读与艺术，可推断出兼顾二者、平衡发展。 （本题10分）You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent research has triggered the discussion. It is highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance (极限耐力) competitions is as low as 4 percent, while it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. When it comes to the marathon, we know that finishing times are greatly influenced by VO2max (最大摄氧量). However, these factors have been shown to be less influential in ultra-endurance performance. What this means is that success in ultra-marathons must be determined by the interplay of other physiological characteristics. If we look at the physiology, men tend to have more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Besides, as distances increase and intensity subsequently decreases, we rely more on fat to provide energy to our working muscles. Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores. This would mean they’re less likely to hit “the wall” in a race. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of which might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s hard to properly draw a firm conclusion that women excel in ultra-endurance sports. Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. 28．(2.5分)What can we learn about the research from Paragraph 1? A．Men perform better than women in sports on the whole. B．Ultra-endurance sports are gaining popularity among women. C．Men are comparatively at a disadvantage in traditional endurance sport. D．The performance divide between men and women closes as distances grow. 29．(2.5分)Which of the following accounts for women’s better ultra-endurance performance? A．They have more type II muscle fibers. B．They are better at burning fat for energy. C．They are less dependent on carbohydrate. D．They care more about competition results. 30．(2.5分)What does the last paragraph focus on? A．The intention of the research. B．The influence of the research. C．The limitation of the research. D．The conclusion of the research. 31．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the passage? A．To make a comparison between males and females in sports. B．To clarify a fact that females are equally competent in sports. C．To explain why women make better ultra-endurance athletes. D．To advocate more women engaging in ultra-endurance sports. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．C 【导语】本文对比男女运动员耐力赛事表现，从生理构造、能量供给、心理素质分析女性极限耐力运动优势，同时点明相关研究存在不足。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming.(而且，这种情况似乎随着赛事时间的延长而逐渐减少，以至于在超长距离游泳等项目中，女性甚至超过了男性)”可知，比赛距离增加，男女运动差距逐渐缩小。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores.(目前的研究表明，与男性相比，耐力训练过的女性即使在静息状态下也消耗更多的脂肪，因此她们体内拥有额外的必需碳水化合物储备)”可知，女性更擅长分解脂肪供能，适配长距离耐力运动。 30．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions.(超长距离赛事吸引的是极少数特定人群，而非主流群体，而参与其中的女性人数较少，因此很难得出结论)”可知，本段点明该项研究存在局限性。 31．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇提出研究发现，随后从多个角度分析女性更擅长极限耐力运动的原因，最后补充研究的局限性，因此本文的写作目的是解释为什么女性更适合成为极限耐力运动员。 （本题10分）After a competitive event, three medalists stand on the podium (领奖台) and receive a round of applause from the crowd, but their levels of happiness aren’t equal. While it is believed that the higher the rank, the happier the medalist, psychological studies reveal it is not the case. Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists. This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred. Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful. On the other hand, bronze medalists compare their achievement to the alternative of not winning a medal at all. This downward comparison brings them relief and gratitude because they feel fortunate just to be on the podium. The thought of “at least I won a medal” gives them satisfaction with their accomplishment. While silver medalists center on “almost winning,” bronze medalists find joy in making it onto the podium. This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives. 32．(2.5分)What is true about the medalists’ happiness? A．It is equal among the medalists. B．The bronze medalists feel happier. C．The higher the rank, the happier. D．The silver medalists express the greatest joy. 33．(2.5分)What is counterfactual thinking? A．Feeling successful and fortunate. B．Experiencing alternative outcomes. C．Imagining the results would have been different. D．Comparing accomplishments among the medalists. 34．(2.5分)How do silver medalists usually feel about their achievement? A．Regretful and disappointed. B．Very satisfied and proud. C．Indifferent and neutral. D．Grateful and relieved. 35．(2.5分)What is the main message of the passage? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍赛事获奖者中铜牌得主常比银牌得主更开心的现象，并从反事实思维角度解析原因，点明幸福感取决于看待结果的方式。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists.(铜牌得主往往比银牌得主表现出更多的喜悦与满足感。卡尔森管理学院的研究人员借助面部表情软件，对比了三个不同名次获奖者的面部表情，进一步证实铜牌得主比银牌得主更有可能露出笑容)可知，铜牌获得者会感到更开心。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred.(这一令人惊讶的结果可以用反事实思维来解释，即想象已经发生的事件的其他结果的心理过程)可知，反事实思维是想象已经发生的事情本会有不同的结果。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful.(人们常常发现，银牌得主会心生遗憾与失落。对他们而言，错失金牌是一大憾事。他们总忍不住想象自己夺得金牌的另一种可能，这种心理被称为向上对比。那份差一点就能夺冠的心情，会给他们的成就蒙上一层阴影，让他们产生挫败感)可知，银牌得主对自己的成绩通常感到遗憾和失望。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，文章核心介绍了银牌得主因向上对比感到遗憾，铜牌得主因向下对比感到满足的现象，最后点明“This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives.(这表明，内心的满足感往往不在于结果本身，而更多取决于我们如何看待它。专注于自己所拥有的，而非那些错失的，我们便能在生活中收获更多的幸福感)可知，D项“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”(一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林)，寓意珍惜当下拥有的，符合文章的主要信息。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）How to Be a Better Player in Sports Do you want to improve your performance in sports?

I watched people move in loose formation at an unhurried pace. The 41 of their movements was like a water lily (睡莲) opening in slow motion. I found tai chi as 42 , but I couldn’t see its point. I defined fitness 43 and strength. Moving slowly did not build muscles, so I chose to 44 myself from the practice. Still, the 45 stayed with me, a seed planted. After retirement, with a doctor’s 46 , I returned to that park, no longer a watcher but inside the group, awkwardly moving toward the growth once seeded long ago. My early 47 were discouraging. I joined one class, then left; joined another, and 48 , failing to complete the routines. I assumed that mastering tai chi meant memorizing all the 49 . But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction. Everything changed in my first expert-led class. Surrounded by advanced 50 , I felt like a beginner when the instructor 51 singled me out for instruction. Embarrassed, I listened attentively, watched closely and 52 my body to move by copying him. Ultimately, this focus helped 53 my embarrassment. In that instant, my emotion 54 , from embarrassment to empowerment. I learned not just a move, but a patient and open way of being. I became that lily unfolding, awakened not by force, but by this 55 martial art. 41．(1分)A．order B．power C．grace D．precision 42．(1分)A．reliable B．fascinating C．familiar D．strange 43．(1分)A．flexibility B．tolerance C．balance D．speed 44．(1分)A．distance B．protect C．isolate D．free 45．(1分)A．answer B．response C．presence D．image 46．(1分)A．treatment B．recommendation C．assessment D．announcement 47．(1分)A．observations B．memories C．attempts D．mistakes 48．(1分)A．struggled B．hesitated C．panicked D．followed 49．(1分)A．positions B．settings C．rules D．moves 50．(1分)A．instructors B．learners C．athletes D．performers 51．(1分)A．reluctantly B．casually C．unexpectedly D．briefly 52．(1分)A．willed B．trained C．urged D．allowed 53．(1分)A．hide away B．bring about C．build up D．crowd out 54．(1分)A．settled B．shifted C．progressed D．softened 55．(1分)A．traditional B．demanding C．gentle D．complex 【答案】 41．C 42．B 43．D 44．A 45．D 46．B 47．C 48．A 49．D 50．B 51．C 52．A 53．D 54．B 55．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者从20世纪80年代初次接触太极，到退休后重新学习太极的经历，以及在太极练习中从尴尬到获得力量、领悟柔和之道的心路历程。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：他们动作的优雅就像一朵睡莲在慢动作中绽放。A. order顺序；B. power力量；C. grace优雅；D. precision精确。根据下文“their movements was like a water lily (睡莲) opening in slow motion.”可推知，将动作比作睡莲缓缓绽放，强调的是动作的优雅美感。 42．考查形容词。句意：我发现太极很迷人，但看不出它的意义。A. reliable可靠的；B. fascinating迷人的；C. familiar熟悉的；D. strange奇怪的。根据下文“but I couldn’t see its point.”可推知，but表示转折，前面应表示正面感受，fascinating与后面“看不出意义”形成对比。 43．考查名词。句意：我将健身定义为速度和力量。A. flexibility灵活性；B. tolerance容忍；C. balance平衡；D. speed速度。根据下文“Moving slowly did not build muscles”可推知，说明作者之前重视的是速度而非慢速。 44．考查动词。句意：缓慢移动不能锻炼肌肉，所以我选择远离这项练习。A. distance使远离；B. protect保护；C. isolate孤立；D. free解放。根据上文“Moving slowly did not build muscles”可推知，作者认为缓慢移动不能锻炼肌肉，所以远离了这项练习，distance oneself from为固定搭配，意为“使自己远离”。 45．考查名词。句意：然而，那个画面一直留在我心中，像一颗播下的种子。A. answer答案；B. response回应；C. presence存在；D. image画面。根据上文“their movements was like a water lily (睡莲) opening in slow motion.”及下文“stayed with me, a seed planted.”可推知，前文描述的是观看太极的场景画面，这个画面像种子一样留在心中。 46．考查名词。句意：退休后，遵照医嘱，我重回那座公园。我不再只是旁观者，而是融入了人群之中，笨拙地迈步前行，重拾多年前便埋下的那份热爱与生机。A. treatment治疗；B. recommendation推荐/建议；C. assessment评估；D. announcement宣布。根据下文“I returned to that park, no longer a watcher but inside the group”可推知，医生给作者提出了建议。 47．考查名词。句意：我早期的尝试令人沮丧。A. observations观察；B. memories记忆；C. attempts尝试；D. mistakes错误。根据下文“I joined one class, then left; joined another”可推知，参加课程又离开是不断尝试的过程。 48．考查动词。句意：我报了一个班，没多久便退出了；后来又加入另一个，学得十分吃力，整套动作始终无法练完整。A. struggled艰难地做；B. hesitated犹豫；C. panicked恐慌；D. followed跟随。根据上文“I joined one class, then left; joined another”及下文“failing to complete the routines.”可推知，报了一个班，然后离开；参加了另一个，没能动作，说明学得十分吃力。 49．考查名词。句意：我原以为掌握太极意味着记住所有动作。A. positions位置；B. settings设置；C. rules规则；D. moves动作。根据上文“I assumed that mastering tai chi meant memorizing all the”及下文“But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits”可推知，与habits相对，且太极学习通常指记忆动作，但后文转折说需要掌握的是习惯。故选D。 50．考查名词。句意：被高级学员包围，当教练出乎意料地单独挑我出来指导时，我感觉像个初学者。A. instructors教练；B. learners学员；C. athletes运动员；D. performers表演者。根据上文“Surrounded by advanced”及下文“I felt like a beginner”可推知，在课堂中被包围的应该是其他学员，且与beginner对应。 51．考查副词。句意：被高级学员包围，当教练出乎意料地单独挑我出来指导时，我感觉像个初学者。A. reluctantly不情愿地；B. casually随意地；C. unexpectedly出乎意料地；D. briefly短暂地。根据下文“singled me out for instruction.

As the 57(1.5分) (found) of the Norwegian Taiji Center in Oslo, she is widely recognized as a pioneer of tai chi in the country.

Hiley first encountered tai chi at the age of 20, when she learned human movement and art at university. Her academic curiosity about movement, 60(1.5分) (combine) with an artistic fascination with the color black, ultimately led her to tai chi. Later, while 61(1.5分) (study) for a postgraduate’s degree in London, she found a tai chi teacher. The practice struck a deep impression within her. It motivated her 62(1.5分) (open) her own tai chi school in London after a period of systematic study. Later, following a personal invitation, Hiley moved to Norway, 63(1.5分) she established a new tai chi school. Hiley’s approach to tai chi is gentle, especially with 64(1.5分) (beginner). She introduces philosophical ideas through movement, showing students how to feel the concepts in their bodies. But her teaching goes far beyond posture. She asks her students as she recognizes that people come to tai chi seeking solutions to 65(1.5分) wide range of difficulties — physical, emotional or psychological. 【答案】 56．has lived 57．founder 58．evidently 59．to 60．combined 61．studying 62．to open 63．where 64．beginners 65．a 【导语】本文主要介绍来自英国威尔士的希莉在挪威推广太极拳的经历，讲述她与太极拳结缘、先后在伦敦和奥斯陆开办太极馆的历程，以及她温和且融合哲学思想的太极教学理念。 【详解】56．考查动词时态与主谓一致。句意：希莉原籍英国威尔士，已经在挪威生活四十多年了。所填词作谓语，根据句意和时间状语for more than four decades，用现在完成时；主语Hiley是单数名词，与提示词live是主动关系，要用现在完成时的主动语态has lived。 57．考查名词。句意：作为奥斯陆挪威太极中心的创始人，她被公认为挪威太极拳的先驱。所填词前有定冠词the，空后有介词of，与主语she是照应关系，要填表示身份的单数可数名词；提示词found为动词，要变为表示“创始人”的名词founder。 58．考查副词。句意：但显而易见，对希莉来说，太极拳远不止一门重要武术或是一种健身方式——它是一条认识自我、与广阔世界建立联结的道路。所填词作状语修饰句子，需将形容词evident变为副词evidently。 59．考查介词。句意：但显而易见，对希莉来说，太极拳远不止一门重要武术或是一种健身方式——它是一条认识自我、与广阔世界建立联结的道路。a path to...是固定短语，意为“通往……的道路”，介词to符合搭配要求。 60．考查非谓语动词。句意：她对人体动作的学术好奇心，再加上对黑色的艺术痴迷，最终引领她接触太极拳。本句有谓语动词led，提示词combine无并列连词与谓语连接，要将该词变成非谓语动词，作非限制性定语修饰Her academic curiosity，它们是逻辑上的动宾关系，要将combine变成过去分词combined，表被动。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：后来在伦敦攻读研究生学位期间，她遇到了一位太极老师。此处为时间状语从句的省略句；当while引导时间状语从句，从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句含有be动词，可以省略从句中的主语和be动词，句中省略的是she was，要将study变成现在分词studying，表主动。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：经过一段时间系统学习后，这门运动深深打动了她，促使她在伦敦开办了自己的太极馆。motivate sb. to do sth.是固定结构，表示“激励某人做某事”，要将open变成to open，作宾补。 63．考查定语从句。句意：后来，受私人邀请，希莉搬到挪威，在那里她开办了一所新的太极馆。此处引导非限制性定语从句修饰地点名词Norway，所填关系词在该从句中充当地点状语，关系副词where符合要求。 64．考查名词。句意：希莉的太极教学方式十分温和，对待初学者尤其如此。所填词作介词with的宾语，要用名词；此处泛指所有初学太极的人，表一类人需用复数形式beginners。 65．考查冠词。句意：她明白人们练习太极是为了解决各种各样身体、情绪或心理层面的难题。a wide range of是固定短语，表示“各种各样的”，不定冠词a符合要求。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你在校运会中参加了1500米的中长跑比赛。你的美国朋友Mathew发来邮件询问比赛情况。请给Mathew回复一封邮件。内容包括： (1)比赛的过程和结果； (2)你的感受。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mathew, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】参考范文： Dear Mathew, I’m writing to share with you the 1,500-meter race I ran in our school sports meeting recently.

Dad worked as a mail carrier, rising before dawn and returning at dusk enthusiastically. On weekends, he coached a Little League team, patiently teaching kids how to hold a bat and position their feet. He would often show them how to swing hard to hit the ball, then dash around the bases to score. He used to say, “Baseball never gives up on you, and you shouldn’t give up on it either.” The accident happened on a rainy evening. He survived, but his right arm was crushed beyond repair. When he got home from hospital, he often sat on his bed, staring out the window and barely speaking. If I mentioned baseball, he would wave me off. One evening, I lay reading the sports page. Sunday was my birthday, and the Yankees were playing against the St. Louis Browns. In past years, Dad would have taken me. It hurt to read about baseball, until I spotted an article on a new outfielder named Pete Gray, who was dominating the game. Then I knew I had to get my father to that game. At dinner, Mom asked about my birthday. I said, “I want Dad to take me to the ballpark.” Dad just shook his head. I reminded him how he used to teach me to watch the fielders. He cut me off: “Go with a friend, or go alone.” After dinner, I handed Mom the article about Gray who was excelling in the major games. Her face lighting up, she promised to urge Dad until he gave in. Sunday morning, Dad, clean-shaven and wearing a jacket with his empty sleeve stuffed into the pocket, walked with me to the bus. He was silent, his face blank. At the stadium, I had chosen seats where we could see Gray up close. When Pete Gray stepped out, Dad leaned forward. Gray was tall and strong, but his right sleeve hung empty. “Can he play?” Dad asked, inching forward on his seat. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Dad’s eyes fixed on Gray’s empty sleeve, I saw a flicker of hope in his eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the game finally ended, I knew something inside Dad had shifted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 With Dad’s eyes fixed on Gray’s empty sleeve, I saw a flicker of hope in his eyes. He straightened up and kept his gaze on Gray throughout the game. When Gray succeeded in a difficult play, Dad let out a quiet sigh, almost of relief. I gripped his good hand and whispered, “Dad, look! He’s doing everything you taught me. He never gave up, and neither should you. You still have your left hand, your sharp eyes, and all your baseball wisdom.” Dad’s jaw trembled, and for a long moment he stared at Gray, then, slowly but surely, his hand squeezing mine back. When the game finally ended, I knew something inside Dad had shifted. He rose from his seat, his face softer. He started talking about Gray’s techniques, his voice hesitant but alive. I seized the chance: “Let’s practice tomorrow; you can still show me everything.” He looked at his empty sleeve, then at me, nodding firmly. I tossed him a soft ball; he caught it cleanly with his left hand. For the first time in two years, he smiled and I realized my hope had become his, and baseball had given us back not just a game, but each other. 【导语】本文以棒球为线索展开，讲述了父亲因车祸失去右臂后陷入消沉，作者通过带父亲观看独臂棒球运动员Pete Gray的比赛，帮助父亲重新振作、走出人生低谷的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写比赛进程中父亲从失神到专注的神态动作变化，以及作者顺势鼓励父亲的互动场景。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写赛后父亲心态的明显转变，回家后父子二人重启棒球练习，父亲重拾生活热情的温暖结局。 2.续写线索：观赛初始父亲沉默失神→看到Gray独臂参赛时闪现希望→观赛中父亲逐渐投入、情绪松动→作者借机鼓励唤醒父亲信念→赛后父亲心结消解、心态转变→父子重拾棒球练习、重获生活暖意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坐直身体：straighten up/sit up straight ②紧紧握住：grip/clench ③颤抖： tremble/quiver 情绪类 ①迟疑的：hesitant/uncertain ②宽慰：relief/ease 【点睛】【高分句型1】Dad’s jaw trembled, and for a long moment he stared at Gray, then, slowly but surely, his hand squeezing mine back.(运用了名词+现在分词构成的独立主格结构作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】He looked at his empty sleeve, then at me, nodding firmly.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Sports Culture（较易版01） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）When did BAA change its name into NBA?

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned (分配) to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of the Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation continued in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 1? A．Shame. B．Honour. C．Threat. D．Glory. 25．(2.5分)Why did the author win the Softball Throw event? A．Because she practised a lot. B．Because her father inspired her. C．Because she believed in her skills. D．Because she had advanced sports gloves and hats. 26．(2.5分)What did the author do after stepping into adulthood? A．She stuck to working out. B．She changed the focus into reading. C．She regularly exercised on weekends. D．She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27．(2.5分)What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The writer chooses to give up sports during holidays. B．Most of the writer’s friends agree with her lifestyle. C．The writer balances sports as well as reading and arts. D．The writer thinks sports are the only part of a rich life. （本题10分）You only need to think of any marathon you’ve watched to assume that men tend to outperform women in sport. But an interesting recent research has triggered the discussion. It is highlighted that the male-female performance gap in ultra-endurance (极限耐力) competitions is as low as 4 percent, while it’s around 10 percent in traditional endurance sport. And the difference seems to reduce the longer the event becomes, to the point that women even outperform men when it comes to events like ultra-distance swimming. When it comes to the marathon, we know that finishing times are greatly influenced by VO2max (最大摄氧量). However, these factors have been shown to be less influential in ultra-endurance performance. What this means is that success in ultra-marathons must be determined by the interplay of other physiological characteristics. If we look at the physiology, men tend to have more type II muscle fibers, which are good for high power output sports such as sprinting (短跑). Women have more type I muscle fibers, which produce less force but are more resistant to exhaustion — ideal for ultra-endurance events. Besides, as distances increase and intensity subsequently decreases, we rely more on fat to provide energy to our working muscles. Research currently suggests that compared to males, endurance-trained females use more fat even at rest and so they have spare essential carbohydrate stores. This would mean they’re less likely to hit “the wall” in a race. Sports psychologists have also suggested that women are generally better at bearing pain, reframing feelings such as exhaustion and enjoying the process rather than worrying about the outcome, all of which might lead to a better performance. As persuasive as these theories are, it’s hard to properly draw a firm conclusion that women excel in ultra-endurance sports. Ultra-endurance events appeal to a very small and specialized part of the population rather than the mainstream and the small numbers of women participating make it challenging to draw conclusions, and it’s rare to find direct comparisons with men. Hopefully this will change over time. 28．(2.5分)What can we learn about the research from Paragraph 1? A．Men perform better than women in sports on the whole. B．Ultra-endurance sports are gaining popularity among women. C．Men are comparatively at a disadvantage in traditional endurance sport. D．The performance divide between men and women closes as distances grow. 29．(2.5分)Which of the following accounts for women’s better ultra-endurance performance?

While it is believed that the higher the rank, the happier the medalist, psychological studies reveal it is not the case. Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists. This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred. Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful. On the other hand, bronze medalists compare their achievement to the alternative of not winning a medal at all. This downward comparison brings them relief and gratitude because they feel fortunate just to be on the podium. The thought of “at least I won a medal” gives them satisfaction with their accomplishment. While silver medalists center on “almost winning,” bronze medalists find joy in making it onto the podium. This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives. 32．(2.5分)What is true about the medalists’ happiness? A．It is equal among the medalists. B．The bronze medalists feel happier. C．The higher the rank, the happier. D．The silver medalists express the greatest joy. 33．(2.5分)What is counterfactual thinking? A．Feeling successful and fortunate. B．Experiencing alternative outcomes. C．Imagining the results would have been different. D．Comparing accomplishments among the medalists. 34．(2.5分)How do silver medalists usually feel about their achievement? A．Regretful and disappointed. B．Very satisfied and proud. C．Indifferent and neutral. D．Grateful and relieved. 35．(2.5分)What is the main message of the passage? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. （本题12.5分）How to Be a Better Player in Sports Do you want to improve your performance in sports?

After retirement, with a doctor’s 46 , I returned to that park, no longer a watcher but inside the group, awkwardly moving toward the growth once seeded long ago. My early 47 were discouraging.

But I soon learned otherwise: What needed mastering were my own habits — impatience, resistance to correction. Everything changed in my first expert-led class.

As the 57(1.5分) (found) of the Norwegian Taiji Center in Oslo, she is widely recognized as a pioneer of tai chi in the country. But 58(1.5分) (evident), tai chi is far more than a significant martial art or a form of physical exercise for Hiley — it is a path 59(1.5分) understanding oneself and connecting with the wider world. Hiley first encountered tai chi at the age of 20, when she learned human movement and art at university. Her academic curiosity about movement, 60(1.5分) (combine) with an artistic fascination with the color black, ultimately led her to tai chi. Later, while 61(1.5分) (study) for a postgraduate’s degree in London, she found a tai chi teacher. The practice struck a deep impression within her. It motivated her 62(1.5分) (open) her own tai chi school in London after a period of systematic study. Later, following a personal invitation, Hiley moved to Norway, 63(1.5分) she established a new tai chi school. Hiley’s approach to tai chi is gentle, especially with 64(1.5分) (beginner). She introduces philosophical ideas through movement, showing students how to feel the concepts in their bodies. But her teaching goes far beyond posture. She asks her students as she recognizes that people come to tai chi seeking solutions to 65(1.5分) wide range of difficulties — physical, emotional or psychological. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，你在校运会中参加了1500米的中长跑比赛。你的美国朋友Mathew发来邮件询问比赛情况。请给Mathew回复一封邮件。内容包括： (1)比赛的过程和结果； (2)你的感受。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mathew, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题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。 For two years, I had waited for my father to come home after a car accident. Dad worked as a mail carrier, rising before dawn and returning at dusk enthusiastically. On weekends, he coached a Little League team, patiently teaching kids how to hold a bat and position their feet. He would often show them how to swing hard to hit the ball, then dash around the bases to score. He used to say, “Baseball never gives up on you, and you shouldn’t give up on it either.” The accident happened on a rainy evening. He survived, but his right arm was crushed beyond repair. When he got home from hospital, he often sat on his bed, staring out the window and barely speaking. If I mentioned baseball, he would wave me off. One evening, I lay reading the sports page. Sunday was my birthday, and the Yankees were playing against the St. Louis Browns. In past years, Dad would have taken me. It hurt to read about baseball, until I spotted an article on a new outfielder named Pete Gray, who was dominating the game. Then I knew I had to get my father to that game. At dinner, Mom asked about my birthday. I said, “I want Dad to take me to the ballpark.” Dad just shook his head. I reminded him how he used to teach me to watch the fielders. He cut me off: “Go with a friend, or go alone.” After dinner, I handed Mom the article about Gray who was excelling in the major games. Her face lighting up, she promised to urge Dad until he gave in. Sunday morning, Dad, clean-shaven and wearing a jacket with his empty sleeve stuffed into the pocket, walked with me to the bus. He was silent, his face blank. At the stadium, I had chosen seats where we could see Gray up close. When Pete Gray stepped out, Dad leaned forward. Gray was tall and strong, but his right sleeve hung empty. “Can he play?” Dad asked, inching forward on his seat. 注意： 1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With Dad’s eyes fixed on Gray’s empty sleeve, I saw a flicker of hope in his eyes. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the game finally ended, I knew something inside Dad had shifted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Can you tell me something about the N, B, A? yes.
