Then without warning，my strength began to______. Neck and neck with one of my greatest competitors, I could see the finish line. I had begun the final dash into______ when my knees became weak and my legs gave way. Nothing I could do would make them______ weight.

I watched as runners rushed by me.______ I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed, I had to finish the race. However, my legs hurt badly.

The ______ were there in seconds, but my eyes searched the crowd for him. There was only one person I wanted to talk to.

“But we worked so hard. What about our dream?” He ______over for my hand and said, “Don’ t you know that you are my dream and it has come true?”

It wasn’t long before my running shoes were back on, marking a______ path for my journey. I learned that all of the miles, the tears, the sweat, and the pain my dad and I ______ together were not for a race. What I realized, though, was that to him, I was the greatest prize he had ever won.

My favorite sport is football. In my eyes, it is an unique form of sport. So I’m happy I am belong to our school football team. We practise three times every week and often watch football match on TV together. Play football not only makes us grow tall and strong but also give us a sense of fair play and team spirit. We must keep in mind that we play for the team instead ourselves. Also sport taught us the importance of obedience(服从). Each player must obey the captain, that is the leader of the team. And they must not break the rules too often if we want to win a true wonderful match.

4 . Kobe Bryant, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 23, 1978, was a professional basketball player, nicknamed "Black Mamba" or "Little Flying Man ". He played for the Los Angeles Lakers throughout his NBA career from 1996 to 2016.

In 1996, Kobe Bryant entered the high school and then began his legendary NBA career. On behalf of his school, Kobe Bryant won many basketball games and got a very high total score. He broke the record of the southeast of Pennsylvania that Chamberlain had created and maintained for 38 years, which made Jerry West, the Lakers vice president, think highly of him. After Kobe Bryant became the dunk（扣篮）champion in the All-Star Game in 1997, his career took off. From 2000 to 2002, he and his team won the NBA championships for three years in a row.

Kobe Bryant maintained a lot of NBA personal records. He once got 81 scores in a game, the second highest single-game scoring in the NBA history. In the 2007-2008 season, he received the title of Most Valuable Player, which is the highest honor for NBA players. After that, he and his team continued to attain lots of remarkable achievements, including two NBA championships from 2009 to 2010.

Unfortunately, on January 27, 2020, this great man and other eight persons were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas. Kobe Bryant was then only 41 years old. Those who loved him all mourned the death of him. Though we have lost a superstar, his mamba spirit will live on.

5 . The decision on Tuesday by Japan and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to postpone the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games until next summer because of the novel corona virus pandemic (流行病) must have been a hard one to make.

Although the Games have been canceled three times in all, in 1916, 1940 and 1944 — due to the two world wars in the modern Olympics’history of more than 120 years, never before have any Games been postponed to a different year.

Nevertheless,the decision is the right one. If it is not brought under control, the harm done to human society by the pandemic could be more serious and far-reaching than even the two world wars. Given the number of countries affected and social and economic shock waves that have been caused by the rapid spread of the virus,postponing the Games is the only right and sensible choice to make.

After all, nothing is more important than people’s lives. Postponing the Games not only safeguards the health of athletes,audiences and everyone involved in the Games, but also reduces potential transmission of the virus from one place to another. Even looking at it from only a sporting level, the pandemic has already caused huge disruptions (扰乱) to athletes’ training and the qualification process.

It is undoubtedly a big blow for Japan, which has prepared meticulously for the largest sports event in the world, including renovating and upgrading its infrastructure and sports venues, such as rebuilding Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium at cost of$1.45 billion. Japan will suffer huge loss at least in the short term.

The international community owes a big “thank you” to Japan for all it has done for the Games despite the postponement. That’s why the Games will still be called the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 despite taking place in 2021. The Olympic flame will also remain stored and displayed in Japan.

More importantly,all members in the Olympic family, guided by the Olympic spirit of respect and understanding are morally bound to stand behind Japan to go through this most difficult moment in the Games’ history.

1. What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The decision.

B．The Games.

C．The pandemic.

D．The war.

2. How many times have the Olympics been put off to a different year?

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

3. We know from the passage________.

A．the Games should be put off in times of war and disaster

B．the Games will still be called Tokyo 2020 Games for its sacrifice

C．postponing the Games will have a bad influence on the athletes

D．the Olympic family will have to make up for the loss of Japan

4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The whole world will support Japan.	B．Japan will keep the Olympic flame burning.
C．Postponing the Games will bring the world hope.	D．Tokyo will become the symbol of the Games.

7 . There are a lot of benefits to staying physically fit. You’ll have more energy, you’ll look great, and you’ll notice improvements in your health.     1     However, if you focus on exercise, you can make a lot of healthy physical changes.

Find the time. Exercise is one of the most important aspects in staying (or becoming) fit and healthy.     2     Try scheduling your exercise the same way that you schedule other appointments and work. You’ll be more likely to stick to it if it’s on the calendar (日历).

    3     You will see the most benefits from exercise if you do it regularly. One good way to make you stick to it is to pick a form of exercise that you enjoy. For example, if you like swimming, make it a point to swim twice a week.

Go outdoors. It is really good to work out at a gym—without air conditioning and televisions. But scientists report that exercising outdoors, at least part of the time, can have more benefits.     4    

Be social. If you join other people in your exercise routine, you’ll see a positive influence in your results.     5     If you schedule an activity with a friend, you are less likely to cancel than if you were only cancelling on yourself.

A．Make it a habit.

B．Enjoy your exercise.

C．Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to stay in great shape.

D．In a word, it is absolutely good for you to stay physically fit.

E．Finding a workout partner can help you to stick to your exercise.

F．The road or sidewalk challenges your body in ways that gyms can’t do.

9 . Yoga is an age-old practice that stretches (伸展) the body and calms the mind. By performing a series of poses(体式), called asanas, you will feel more relaxed. This results in lower blood pressure, a decrease in stress and healthy muscles.     1     With poses ranging from simple to challenging, yoga gives your mind something to think about. So get started by trying simple poses.

Mountain Pose

Stand barefoot on a no-slip mat and put your feet side-by-side,     2     Stretch your leg muscles and feel your knee caps lift. Practice holding your head and neck in a straight line. Relax your shoulders. Breathe in and out, and focus on your breathing.

Triangle Pose

Begin in Mountain Pose. As you breathe out, move your left foot about three or four feet to the left side. Lift your arms until they’re parallel with the floor. Stretch your fingertips outward. Then turn your left foot 90 degrees to the left, and turn your right foot about 45 degrees toward your left.     3    

Cat to Cow Pose

This is a great way to loosen a tight back, neck or shoulders. Begin with your palms(手掌) under your shoulders and your knees under your hips(臀部).     4     Then drop the head and neck toward your mat, pull your stomach muscles tight, and round your back up toward the ceiling. Hold that pose and breathe in and out.

    5     Gradually add more asanas to your practice. Before long, you’ll notice a positive change in your body and your mind.

A．Continue moving back and forth.

B．It can be hard to balance in this way.

C．Perform these poses every day, if you can.

D．Hold your back and neck in a straight line.

E．Adjust your feet till they feel good against the mat.

F．But beyond its health benefit yoga brings a lot of fun!

G．The heels of both feet should be in line underneath your arms.

10 . Why do you run? Different people have different reasons. Whatever your reason is, there’s one thing we can be sure of: Running is much better injury-free. In his book, Dr. Jordan Metzl’s Running Strong, Metzl has the perfect suggestions for enjoying your running without losing your well-being (健康). Here are five must-follow rules for injury-free running:

Train for your level of fitness and your goals.

Don’t run more miles than your body can deal with. If you run for fitness and your goal is about 30 minutes a day, that’s cool. But if you are just starting out,     1    

Wear the right shoes for your feet.

You will hear lots of opinions about whether running shoes really help prevent injury and whether you should even wear them.     2     And some of you may need a little added assistance from inserts (鞋垫).

    3    

Be honest about how much sleep you need and stick to it. The cool runner is the one who wins the race. Sleep will get you there.

Fuel (提供能量) your body right for running and recovery.

    4     And after a workout or race, you need to deliver nutrients to all the body rebuilders in your muscles, so they can do their job and get you back into tip-top shape for your run tomorrow.

Pay attention to pain.

When pain changes the way you run, stop running.     5     And use dynamic rest (动态休息) to stay in shape until you are back on your running feet.

A．Get seven to eight hours of sleep every night.

B．Try to find out what is going on and treat the pain.

C．you need to get there slowly.

D．Running should be seen as fun rather than pain.

E．It is because of the health benefits, including lowering your risk of disease.

F．The right running shoes can help correct foot-movement problems that lead to injury.

G．A good pre-run meal plan is one that keeps you stepping strong.
