Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his school team, I was feeling sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity(困境) on the court, trailing for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had just been dismissed from my job. As I watched what my son was experiencing, I recalled the events earlier in the day—packing up everything in a box and saying goodbye to my colleagues. During the drive home, I kept telling myself that I will find work again—I am confident in my experience and abilities, but self-doubt was still sticking its foot in the door. The game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still trailing. I saw the determination on his back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he made the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul(犯规). As Nathan stood preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, with no room for self-doubt. After he made the free throw, his team managed to stop the other team from scoring, winning the game and moving on to the finals. As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me. I had taught him perseverance(毅力) in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. At this moment, we both won. 1.We can learn from the text that ________. A.I lost my job for lack of experience and abilities. B.Nathans team won a narrow victory in the basketball game. C.I was proud of Nathan because he won the game in the finals. D.Nathan had never doubted himself whenever he was in trouble. 2.The underlined word “trailing” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A.losing B.falling behind C.being defeated D.winning 3.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.My son would win in the finals and I would find a job soon. B.I had once taught my son face to face that we should never give up. C.It was my encouragement and help that made my son win the game. D.I would become more confident about my future after this experience. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.An Inspiring Game B.A Moment of Self-doubt C.Lesson from My Son D.An Unforgettable Experience

Being able to find high quality healthcare at an affordable price is a problem to be solved in many countries. In the United States, Walmart, a large chain store, is trying to help. It is offering something new to its employees: cutting the cost of a doctor’s appointment(预约) to only $4 instead of the usual $40 for the same service. Walmart is the latest major business in the United States to push its workers toward a high-tech way to be examined and treated by doctors. Thanks to telemedicine (远程医疗), people can talk with medical experts from the privacy of their own homes, often using a secure video connection. Supporters say online visits make it easier for patients to see an expert or quickly find help for problems considered non-emergencies. Some healthcare needs are well-suited for telemedicine. It can help people seek treatment for insect bites or skin conditions. Patients who have had medical treatments and cannot move around easily can use telemedicine for their follow-up visits. Also, people seeking help for mental health issues can benefit from the privacy that telemedicine gives. But still, many people do not use telemedicine, they continue to go to the doctor’s office when they are sick. 80 percent of middle-size and large U.S. companies offered telemedicine services to their workers in 2018. However, only 8 percent of its employees used telemedicine at least once in 2017. Compared with seeing a real doctor in person, some people may think the quality of telemedicine is not as good. Parents, for example, may feel they are not giving their child the best care if they use a virtual doctor appointment. Another reason some adults may not use telemedicine services is trust. Tom Hill, aged 66, says he has no plans to ever use telemedicine. He says, for him, it is important to look at his doctor in the eye and shake hands. However, for some people, especially young people and busy students, telemedicine might be a good choice. It can cut down on the time away from work. It can also cut down on the cost of doctor visits. 1.What do we know about telemedicine? A.It is increasingly popular with people in America. B.It is an online service provided by most companies. C.It enables the patients to see a doctor at home for free. D.It makes it easier for people to receive medical treatment. 2.Who is most likely to use “telemedicine”? A.Robert, a grandfather who fell off a bike and got injured. B.Katherine, a shy woman who suffers from mental illness. C.Jackson, a firefighter who got seriously burnt in a big fire. D.Susan, a mother whose kid is suffering from a strange disease. 3.What is the author’s attitude towards “telemedicine”? A.Positive. B.Concerned. C.Uncertain. D.Doubtful.

Culture shock isn’t a clinical term or medical conditions. It’s simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a different culture. 1. That can be exciting, but it can also be overwhelming(不可抗拒的). Everyone feels the pressure to fit in at one time or another—whether they’ve lived in the area for days or years. But don’t feel like you need to change everything about yourself so you can stand out less. 2. Here are a few tips for making sure your new culture doesn’t overpower the old: Educate people about your culture. Just because you’re the one entering the new culture doesn’t mean you should be the one doing all the learning. 3. They may know little about it. It will also help them to learn more about you in the process. Find a support group. Find kids in your class or neighborhood who recently moved, too. You can share experiences. 4. You probably left behind good friends and family when you moved. If it’s going to be a long time until your next visit, keep in touch. You also left behind other things—like your favourite spot to hang out. Keep pictures around to remind you of home. Remember, it’s important to be yourself. 5. You will have your own pace of adjusting. As long as you find a good combination between old and new, you’ll be fine. A. Keep in touch with home. B. Understand the new culture. C.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 When I was seven years old, I went into my parent’s bedroom and saw my mother sitting at her sewing machine making doll clothes. When I asked her who the doll clothes were for, she told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. On the Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were those beautiful doll clothes. I said to her, “I thought the doll clothes were for the poor people.” My mother just smiled and said, “They are for the poor people. We’re poor.” When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick(弹簧单高跷). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of sticks my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I had a pogo stick surely I would be proud of my unbelievable skills. When Christmas season rolled around again, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. My mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one. On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back. I need to see something in the tool department.” After the bill was taken care of, my mother and I went ahead and got in the truck. Soon my dad came walking out with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the barn(谷仓). While my parents were busy with their things, I walked out to the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 使用5个及以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: After all the wrapping(包装) paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the barn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I couldn’t believe how they were able to get the money for it and how they tricked me with the broom. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
