Born in Russia and living in an orphanage (孤儿院) for the first 13 months of her life, Jessica Long had no idea what her future would hold. The little girl born with Fibular Hemimelia would not only go on to be a 13-time gold medal-winning Paralympic champion, but she would inspire others to chase their dreams.
Long was born in Russia, where she lived in an orphanage until her parents adopted her in 1993. Soon after being adopted, she had to have her legs amputated (截肢) at only a year and a half. “It gave me a lot of freedom and movement,” Long said. “But growing up was definitely really hard. From a very early age, I just decided that I was going to be unstoppable and I wasn’t going to let my legs hold me back.” From that point forward, she didn’t let anyone tell her what she was or wasn’t capable of doing. She started doing gymnastics as a kid. Then, in 2002, Long found her sport for life: swimming!
“I was the only girl with no legs on the swim team, ” she said. “There were moments I struggled, but my teammates treated me like a friend. When I look back on my life and I think about anyone on that team, no one made fun of me for having no legs and they were so kind.” Long defied (顶住) all odds and surprised everyone when she qualified at age only 12 for the Paralympics in 2004 in Athens. After four Paralympics, Long has won 13 gold, six silver, and four bronze medals. She has dozens of World Championship medals and has broken numerous world records throughout her career so far. But she didn’t concentrate on winning awards or being famous. “I really just love swimming. It’s important for any athlete to remember just why you started,” she said.
As one of the most decorated athletes in history, Long’s goal is to just keep competing as long as her body allows. “Dream big,” she said. “There are so many possibilities out there, so find your passion, be consistent and work hard. You define your own success.”；
4. How old was Long when she found her life sport
A．11 B．10. C．12. D．13.；
5. What made Jessica determine to devote herself to swimming
A．Her experience of winning 13 gold medals.
B．Her parents’ support and teachers’ help.
C．Her teammates’ understanding and kindness.
D．Her focus on winning awards and fame.；
6. What is the text mainly about
A．A poor orphanage and her close friends.
B．A happy girl and her confusing childhood.
C．An amazing illness and its terrible influence.
D．An inspiring story about an unlucky person.；
7. Which of the following may Long most agree with

C．A man never reaches success until disabled.
D．A sportsman’s goal is winning gold medals.

The red knot, flying long distances and migrating (迁徙) every year from the Arctic to West Africa and back, has been facing great risks as shellfish food is becoming fewer in the feeding grounds lining its migratory route. Now climate change is affecting these birds: they are getting smaller in size, and the effects may be speeding up their extinction.
Scientists found that global warming is making red knot chicks miss their insect peak and therefore achieve a smaller size with a shorter bill (喙). The changes are reducing the population's survival rates in their wintering grounds.
Furthermore, the fewer migrants are paying the price, with the smallest young birds' survival only half of that of the larger ones. Leading researcher Jan van Gils of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research said the reason is quite simple since only larger birds with long bills can reach deeply hidden shellfish for food. “Shorter billed birds were forced to live on seagrass, which is a poor food source for these birds. The poor survival of fewer first year birds clearly contributes to the population decrease seen in red knots nowadays，” van Gils explained.
The North American red knots were listed as threatened in 2015 due to the decrease in horseshoe crab eggs in their key stopover feeding location, Delaware Bay, on their way to their winter home.
Over the last three decades, snow at the birds' breeding ground has progressively melted at a half day rate every year, which brings it to over two weeks at present. This change has led to a mismatch: plants blossom earlier and insects feeding on the plants come out earlier, but the chicks eating the insects are too late to feed on them at their peak.
8. What threatens red knots on their way of migration
A．Cold weather. B．The falling snow.
C．Their difficulty in finding shellfish. D．The disappearance of their feeding grounds.
9. In what way does global warming affect red knots
A．They now hunt with shorter bills. B．They are confused during migration.
C．They have to migrate farther to find food. D．Fewer of them are migrating year by year.
10. What happens when plants blossom earlier
A．Red knot chicks come out earlier.
B．Red knot chicks miss the insect peak.
C．The insect peak comes and goes too quickly.
D．There are too many insects for red knot chicks.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A．The endangered red knots B．Global warming and its effect
C．Climate change affects migrating birds D．Red knots get fewer due to climate change
D
There’ve been plenty of Tokyo 2020 headlines about Hend Zaza, the Syrian table tennis genius who, at 12 years old, is one of the youngest Olympians of all time.
But there are some striking personal stories on the other side of the age spectrum (年龄谱), too.
Oksana Chusovitina, a 46-year-old gymnast from Uzbekistan, impressively competed in her eighth Olympic Games this summer. Chusovitina, who competed in a sport dominated by teenage athletes, received a standing ovation (鼓掌欢呼)after performing in what she said would be her last Olympics. “I feel very good to be here. But this will for sure be my last Olympics, she told reporters. “I’m 46 years old. Nothing is going to change that. I’m alive, I’m happy, I’m here without any injuries, and I can stand on my own,” she added with a laugh.
Then there’s Australian equestrian (马术师) Mary Hanna, who at age 66 is the second-oldest female athlete in Olympic history and the oldest Olympian competing in Tokyo.
“Through their efforts, Hanna and Chusovitina are changing the conversation around age and agility. They’re proof that you can compete or put yourself up to a physical challenge way past what is considered your peak,” said Michael Stones, a professor at Lakehead University in Ontario, Canada, who researches healthy aging and physical performance. “It’s great that this year’s Olympics include so many younger and older athletes,” he told HuffPost. “They show that age alone is not an insurmountable (不可克服的) barrier to excellence in physical activities.”
These Olympians also lend the games some experience and maturity, especially in team sports, said Sandra Hunter, a professor of exercise science at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “These older athletes can help guide the younger ones, particularly with all the mental and psychological challenges that we’ve seen,” she said. “They bring a level of maturity to the teams and surrounding athletes that allows the younger athletes to learn.”
“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.” The quote from American writer Robert Fritz is highly consistent with the Olympic spirit as well as enlightening us on our way to success.；
12. Who is Oksana Chusovitina
A．A 12-year-old table tennis player.
B．A 46-year-old gymnast from Syria.
C．A 66-year-old Australian equestrian.
D．An eight-time Olympian from Uzbekistan.；
13. The first paragraph is intended to
A．lead in the topic of the passage
B．stress the importance of being a genius
C．tell the difference between younger and older athletes
D．introduce a research on performances of younger athletes；
14. What’s professor Michael Stones’s attitude to those younger and older Olympians
A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring.
C．Supportive. D．Indifferent.；
15. What can be inferred from the passage
A．Olympic athletes should try their best to be uninjured.
B．Olympic athletes prove success is not related to age.
C．Olympians show that age alone is not an insurmountable barrier.
D．Older athletes are changing the conversation around age and agility.

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。
It was cool and bright and just right for running. I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race through some hills. Birds were singing on the trees. The soft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thought it was going to be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake, a student from Burke High School. He was running easily, too, moving along efficiently. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where he was; why bother concentrating on pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter for me I would overtake Blake later on when he used up energy.
So I ran closely behind him. The course headed north for five miles, wandered west for a mile, and then turned south again. The race was getting tougher. With three miles to go, it was beginning to be real hard work. My lungs were on fire, and legs felt like stone.
Blake overtook the boy in front of him. Apparently he knew the boy, for they exchanged a few words. Their brief communication worried me. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good, and Blake plainly was. There was still a noticeable bounce in his steps, but the springiness I had once possessed was gone.
Still, I was close enough to overtake Blake if he was tired, so I didn’t give up hope completely. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost certainly determine who crossed it first.
As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Blake was moving away, first five yards, then ten, then more. There was no hope of catching Blake.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 诮按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully.
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online.

Suddenly Blake slowed and sat onto the ground painfully. Then I hurried up and ran up to him, only to find that his leg was cramping. I tried to help him stand and move forward, but he refused. He asked me to run after the others so that I could get the first place. I thought for a second and decided to accompany him for a rest .Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we ran slowly and were overtaken by others, I felt relaxed and we finally crossed the finish line together.
A reporter took a picture of this moving scene and posted it online. During the time, the photo got a lot of likes. Many strangers sent the emails to praise me about the incident. In fact, I was a little hesitant at the beginning, but the moment I decided to help Blake, I felt calm and relaxed. I’m happy that I did the right thing.
