21、Sportsmanship isn’t just about shaking hands after the game. It’s about helping young athletes enjoy the spirit of competition, deal with adversity. 【1】

Character is a word that gets used often, but its true meaning may be hard to explain to a young mind. 【2】 By raising standards early, an athlete can both give and expect mutual respect during their course of competition.

One way to teach the idea of sportsmanship is to let the athlete know that they should do their personal best and to treat teammates and opponents in the same fashion they wish to be treated. 【3】 It also helps them off the field as well.

It’s important to the young athlete to understand that for as many victories as they hope to have, they must face losing if they’re going to play their sport. An effective method is to have a young athlete pick out well-known popular athletes, particularly in their sport or sports of interest, and look up their statistics. 【4】

【5】 Practice and skill building should be offset by times of goofing off (偷懒), perhaps practicing with crazy costumes or with fun music, and not coaching in the traditional sense. This one little thing can do wonders in reminding the athlete not to take anything too seriously and to have fun doing what they have chosen to participate in.

A．Sports are designed to be enjoyable.

B．Having sports is a course of sweat and tears.

C．Sport is a matter of failure and success to some degree.

D．It’s ultimately a choice to hold oneself to a higher standard.

E．This age-old idea will help them become a respected competitor.

F．Here are tips to young players’ sportsmanship and prepare them for their future life.

G．Knowing professional athletes have faced defeat can teach the young competitor to face loss graciously.

22、   Children have been thought to be largely spared from the worst of the new coronavirus, but doctors in the U. K. are now warning of a possible connection between CO VID-19 and an unusual inflammatory（发炎性的）syndrome（综合症）in children. However, experts stress that serious illness related to CO VID-19 in children is still very rare overall.

The warning came over the weekend, when the National Health Service （NHS） England issued an alarm informing doctors of a small but growing number of cases of "multisystem inflammatory" disease in children that required intensive care, according to the U. K. Paediatric Intensive Care Society. Some of these children have tested positive for COVID-19, although others have not.

Some of the symptoms in the U. K. cases included fevers, severe pain and skin rashes（皮疹）,along with markers of severe inflammation in the blood, The Guardian reported. Some of these children have also needed treatment for heart inflammation. So far, the inflammatory syndrome appears rare-only about a dozen children in the U. K. have been reported to have the syndrome, according to The Guardian, Similar cases have also been reported in Spain and Italy, according to CNN. And in the United States, doctors at Stanford University recently published a case report in the journal Pediatrics describing a 6-month-old infant who was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and COVID-19.

However, it’s still too early to say that COVID-19 is behind this inflammatory syndrome in children, Gidengil said. More data will be needed to show this. Indeed, the NHS alert noted the possibility that another, yet-to-be-identified pagothen is associated with the inflammatory syndrome. Still, “it’s great that they’re raising an alarm about this so people can be aware," Gidengil said. Although this news might sound worrisome to parents, reports of serious COVID-19 complications remain uncommon in children. "It’s really important to just keep in mind that it’s still really rare for kids to have complications from CO VID at this point," Gidengil added.

【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．Children are free from the COVID-19.

B．COVID-19 has no effect on children,

C．CO VID-19 seldom has serious effect on children.

D．COVID-19 is the cause of inflammatory syndrome in children.

【2】Why did NHS England issue the alarm over the weekend?

A．To fight against COVID-19 for children.

B．To require doctors take good care of children.

C．To try to seek for a positive choice to treat children.

D．To inform doctors of the possible relationship between the syndrome and COVID-19.

【3】What can the symptoms contain?

A．Cough, fevers and breast pain.

B．Fevers, severe pain and skin rashes.

C．Difficulty in breathing and skin rashes.

D．Severe abdominal pain and throat discomfort.

【4】Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A．Rare Syndrome in Children about COVID-19

B．Children are Affected by COVID-19

C．Some Children Be Seriously Ill.

D．Children Need Special Protection.

23、More than a third of small towns in Georgia lost population in the last year alone, highlighting the challenges of reviving rural areas. New census (人口普查) estimates show that Camilla fell below 5,000 residents. Sparks fell below 2,000, and Milan fell to 661 residents for a loss of 7% of its population. All three towns are in South Georgia.

Many of the young people in these communities graduate from high school and don’t come back. “They go to college, whatever, they don’t come back,” said David Bridges, head of its Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation in Tifton.

Meanwhile, Georgia’s cities are growing, having no problem drawing people from small towns and other cities. Atlanta grew more than 1% in the past year and is now nearing the half-million-resident mark.

The trend of people moving from rural to urban areas is hardly a new one — it’s been going on worldwide for more than a century. But continued population losses have raised questions about whether rural areas can do anything to reverse the tide.

Rural residents can face a number of challenges including access to good jobs, transportation and health care. Manufacturing jobs have dried up in many places, while modernization and new technology means fewer people are needed for farming. And many people are deciding to have smaller families than was typical a century ago.

“The older generation is dying, the younger generation is moving away, and because there are perceived to be fewer business opportunities, financial opportunities, etc. It’s very challenging to get inbound population.” Bridges said.

Demographers (人口学家) expect the shift from rural to urban to continue. But there are some bright spots in rural America still. Jackson County near Athens was recently named one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation by the Census Bureau. Amazon opened a large fulfillment center there a couple of years ago. And Young Harris, near the Georgia-North Carolina border, has grown by more than 80% since 2010.

【1】What happened to the small towns mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A．Their sizes grew rapidly.

B．Their population declined.

C．They drew more residents.

D．They raised challenges to locals.

【2】Which of the following best explains “reverse the tide” underlined in Paragraph 4?

A．People move from rural to urban areas.

B．Small towns draw people from cities.

C．Rural areas develop their economy quickly.

D．Population continue to grow in urban areas.

【3】Why is David Bridges quoted?

A．To offer more evidence.

B．To draw a conclusion.

C．To show his contribution.

D．To give part of the reasons.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Jackson County is the best town in the US.

B．Rural towns will keep growing to larger ones.

C．Others will follow the lead of these bright spots.

D．There can be measures to help rural towns grow.

24、   When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble—a word game—against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.

I wasn’t sure my mother was ready for it. After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents’ home. And so began my mother’s adventure in the world of computers.

It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I’d taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back.

It wasn’t easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces.

“Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked.

“No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.”

My mother isn’t the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we’ve had in the past 20 years.

【1】Why did the author decide to give her mother a computer?

A.To help her through the bad times.

B.To make her life more enjoyable.

C.To support her in doing her homework.

D.To let her have more chances to write letters.

【2】What does the author do according to the text?

A.She is a teacher. B.She is a cook.

C.She is a housewife. D.She is a computer engineer.

【3】Why did the author ask her mother to write her a letter?

A.To keep in touch with her mother.

B.To free her mother from heavy housework.

C.To practice what her mother had learned.

D.To prevent her mother from using the telephone.

【4】What happened to the author’s father after the computer was brought home?

A.He played even more games. B.He became skilled at it.

C.He lost interest in cooking. D.He took more phone calls.

25、Until a few years ago, I was a calm person. If you were going to ______ me I almost never lost it ______； of course I felt hurt, but I didn't show it.

Then, one day, I met my husband and I fell ______ in love with him, a proud Italian who loudly discusses things ______ with himself when he's not happy. Things got worse for me when we started ______ on things. He seemed really angry and loud, while I seemed detached and polite. Truth is that I was ______ too. Fight after fight, he always acted as if nothing had happened a few minutes after each quarrel, while my moments of ______ discontent started to ______ more and more in time until they became hours, sometimes even days.

I felt this had to change and the conversation went ______ like this:

Me: “Either you change your ______ when we fight or I will start avoiding any discussion, and this will ______ our relationship.”

Him: “Did you ______ the Mpemba Effect? If you put two ______ containers filled with the same amount of water into the fridge except that one has boiling water in it while the other one has water at ambient(周围的)______， the boiling water will ______ faster than the ambient water. Baby, you got to boil first, to cool down faster. That's why the Italians live ______ than Canadians.”

The connection he suggested is to be ______. but I have learned a fact I didn't know, one that has ______ me to understand that if I'm angry about something or someone, for that anger to disappear, it has to be towards the ______ or otherwise it is like hiding the dust under the ______: your house might look clean, but it is not.

26、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。

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom at Edgewood Elementary School in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. Virtual learning was a challenge across the country. It was a new class mode for students to adapt to, especially when it came to the learning tools, but it helped the community grow closer. Many teachers there gave their personal phone numbers to students and their families in case they needed extra help. Sometimes, the exchange was literally life-changing.

One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, Julia received a call from Cynthia Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter's tools for online learning. As Cynthia explained what the problems were, Julia sensed something was wrong with her. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Julia had never heard the grandmother sound quite abnormal like this. Cynthia's words were so jumbled(混乱的)that Julia could barely understand her. Julia repeatedly asked, "What's happened to you? Are you OK?", and the grandmother uttered something brokenly.

Julia stood still, trying her best to identify the grandmother's physical condition by what she heard on the phone. Eventually, she made out that Cynthia had fallen four times that day. Julia suspected Cynthia might be having a stroke(中风)—she recognized the signs as her own father had suffered one before. She heard the word 'kids' and immediately became more concerned. Cynthia's two grandchildren, Emily and Susan, were only aged six and eight. They were probably home alone with her—she is their primary guardian. If something urgent happened, nobody in the home could handle it. Immediate actions were required. Without thinking twice, Julia quickly dialled the number of EMTs(emergency medical technicians).

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。

Then, Julia dropped everything and drove to the family's home.

While the grandmother was in hospital, Julia became much busier.
