Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence． ‎ Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much．The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs （分） and the game is in the eighth inning （局）．I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning． ‎ ‎ Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart．The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted． ‎ In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three．In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field．Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field.In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again．Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat．Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?‎ Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat．Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible．The first pitch （投） came and Shay missed．The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay．As the pitch came in , Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher． ‎ The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game . Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked． ‎ Everyone shouted, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second．By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head． ‎ All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay．” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third．” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying,“Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team． ‎ That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world．Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!‎ 25. Not expecting much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly ‎ because the father _________． ‎ A.noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating B.understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted C.learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well D.guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decision ‎26.In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys______． ‎ A.would like to help Shay enjoy the game B.believed they were sure to win the game C.found Shay was so eager to be a winner D.fell forced to give Shay another chance ‎27.The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably because that boy ________． ‎ A.failed to throw the ball to the second baseman B.looked forward to winning the game for his team C.was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purpose D.saw that Shay already reached second base ‎28.What to you think is the theme of the story ？‎ A.The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players．‎ B.Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled． ‎ C.Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents． ‎ D.True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other．‎ ‎ C The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid--we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.‎ However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward.For humans to do this, we’d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”.‎ But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.‎ Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice, if you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink －and take a shower afterward!‎ ‎29. Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans _________‎ A.are not interested in it B.are afraid to make an attempt C.have not invented proper tools D.have biological limitations ‎30.What do we know about Basiilius basilicus from the passage?‎ A.It can run across water at a certain speed.‎ B.Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.‎ C.It is light enough to walk on water.‎ D.Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in watch ‎31.What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?‎ A. To help the liquid behave normally.‎ B. To turn the water into solid.‎ C. To create a thick liquid. ‎ D. To enable the water to rove rapidly.‎ ‎32. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of humans’ walking on water?‎ A.It is risky but beneficial.‎ B.It is impractical though theoretically possible.‎ C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.‎ D. It is interesting and worth trying.‎ ‎ D Children often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate. When my ex-husband and I split up after 10 years of marriage, our daughter was 5 years old and my son only 3. We decided to consult a psychologist about the best way to explain this new situation to the children. She shared with us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle, which we then used to help them better comprehend.‎ ‎　　Once upon a time，a land turtle ( Mommy) met a sea turtle ( Daddy) close to a beautiful shore. Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to get married. For a time, they continued to live at the water’s edge so that Mommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm, while Daddy sat in the shallow water to keep cool. A few years later two baby turtles arrived ( you both!). They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.‎ ‎　　But as the years went by, Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls. Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods. Little by little, Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift further and further apart. Finally one day，Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn’t want to live together anymore. The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents. They made lots of friends with all the fish，dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits, deer, and foxes in the woods. In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.‎ Over the years, this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope with and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over. They know that we once loved each other very much and they were born out of true love.‎ ‎33.When the parents divorce，their children often feel________.‎ ‎　A. relieved B. annoyed C.pleased D. unsafe ‎34.In the third paragraph, the underlined phrase“drift…apart”probably means____.‎ ‎　A. become disconnected B. make sense C. break down D. get excited ‎35. We can probably find the passage in the column“_________”‎ A. Culture B. Parenting C. Career D. Education ‎ 第二节 （共5小题， 每小题2分， 满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do you ever wonder if you’re doing what you’ re supposed to be doing with your life? What if you have potential talents that could lead you to a new path and change everything for the better?　36 The following tips will help you discover your potential strength.‎ ‎. Do what you love.‎ One sure way to get yourself moving in the right direction is to do more of the things that make you feel good. 37 That might lead to writing a book or a movie or a career in writing. If baking treats for friends and neighbors gives you great pleasure, take it one step further. Upgrade your packaging and look into selling your goodies at a local market.‎ ‎. Complete some assessment activities.‎ ‎    38   While none of them is perfect, each of them can help you realize the types of your strengths.‎ ‎.    39    ‎ It’s not always easy to self-identify what we’re good at.

Sometimes your friends are more aware of your strengths than you.‎ ‎.
