7 . 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。

There was a young basketball player named Spencer. He was tall and thin, just like a basketball player should be. At the age of 11, he had already developed impressive skills on the court. Spencer was known for his shooting and his ability to dribble (运球) the ball.

Spencer took basketball very seriously. He always made sure his jersey (球衣) was clean and his shoes were clean. He believed that looking good on the court would help him perform better. But sometimes, his obsession (痴迷) with perfection would get in the way of his game.

One day, Spencer’s team was in the championship game. They were leading by three points, and it was up to Spencer to secure the victory. As he stepped onto the court, he felt the pressure. He knew that every shot counted, and he couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. But as the game progressed, Spencer’s focus started to waver. He began to notice small things that bothered him, like a scuff (磨痕) on his shoe or a loose thread on his jersey. These started to affect his performance. His shots were off target, and he couldn’t seem to make a basket.

Coach Dan, who had been watching Spencer closely, called a timeout. He walked up to Spencer and put his hands on Spencer’s shoulders. “I know what’s wrong,” Coach Dan said, “you’re letting these little things get to you. Remember, basketball is about focus and determination, not about having a perfect uniform.”

With those words, Coach Dan pulled down Spencer’s sock. “This will remind you to stay focused on the game, “he said. Spencer felt a mix of embarrassment and gratitude. He realised that Coach Dan was right. He had been so caught up in his appearance that he had forgotten what really mattered-playing basketball with passion and joy.

8 . Clarence DeMar would train for races by running to and from his job in Boston, up to 14 miles a day. His hard work paid off. He won the 1911 Boston Marathon and competed in the next year’s Olympics.

But at the time, many people and medical experts thought prolonged (持续很久的) exercise was dangerous. A doctor, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar to quit the sport.

DeMar proved them all wrong—both during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change people’s minds about the benefits of exercise.

He became one of the most noticeable distance runners of his day, competing in two more Olympics and winning the Boston Marathon a record seven times between 1911 and 1930. He kept winning races well into his 40s. The press called him “Mr. DeMarathon”.

After he died of cancer at age 70, two Boston-area experts took a look at his heart. What they found were different from all those terrifying warnings. Not only was DeMar’s heart in good shape, but his arteries(动脉) were also two to three times the size of a typical person’s — reducing the risk of a fatal blockage. As for that heart murmur the doctor warned DeMar about? Experts say, “We now know that highly trained athletes often have a heart murmur, and it’s normal.”

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1961, made the front page of The Boston Globe. “It was one of those first studies that taught us that the human body can really handle, very healthfully, lots and lots of exercise,” said Dr. Aaron Baggish, a professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and the former medical director of the Boston Marathon.

The popularity of running exploded in the decades after DeMar’s death, as further research backed that up. It’s now well-established that regular exercise makes us healthier and prolongs our lives.

The current national guidelines recommend at least two and a half to five hours of moderate exercise like walking each week, or an hour and fifteen minutes to two and a half hours of vigorous activity like running—and research suggests more is generally better.

1. Why did the doctor advise DeMar to give up prolonged exercise?

A．He was in poor health.	B．He had a heart murmur.
C．He must focus on his job.	D．He was unable to finish it.

2. What was DeMar’s attitude to the doctor’s warning?

A．Favorable.

B．Worried.

C．Mistrustful.

D．Unclear.

3. What did the two Boston experts find about DeMar?

A．His heart was in bad shape.	B．He died from too much exercise.
C．He suffered from artery blockage.	D．He benefited from lots of exercise.

4. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Advice on exercise.	B．Several forms of exercise.
C．The advantages of walking.	D．The purpose of the research.

9 . Female squash (壁球) player Karthik, who partnered with Sandhu to claim India’s first-ever gold medal in squash mixed doubles on Thursday — defeating traditional powerhouse Malaysia — said she hoped their victory would motivate more young women in her homeland to play the sport.

“It’s unbelievable,” said Karthik, the world champion in mixed doubles and women’s doubles, and the first Indian woman to rank in the world’s top 10. “If you asked us a few years back if we would be part of this team or where we are standing and winning gold, I don’t think we would have believed it. We really put in the effort and the hard work back home, and I’m very glad it worked out.”

Karthik began playing squash at age 10 and competed in her first professional tournament at age 15. She became the first Indian female squash player to win an-individual medal at the Asian Games when she took singles bronze at the 2014 Games in Incheon, Republic of Korea. But she took a break from the sport between 2018 and 2022 to get married. After giving birth to twin sons in 2021, she returned to training later that year and returned to competition at the 2022 World Doubles Championships in Glasgow. She and Saurav then became the first Indian squash players to win a gold medal at the world doubles championships, following their victory in the mixed event at the 2022 edition in Glasgow. Later, she won the women’s doubles title alongside Joshana Chinappa to become the first Indian player to win multiple titles at the tournament.

“Being an athlete is tough, but being an Indian woman athlete is tougher, especially when you compete for the country. But it’s heartening to see so many women taking up sports because of strong role models like (Indian boxer) Mary Kom, (Indian badminton player) PV Sindhu and others.”

The 32-year-old said she believed women athletes are earing more attention in India, partly because of their performances. “I think just a little bit of encouragement for women will go a long way, ” Karthik said. “Hopefully, we can get more opportunities; We hope that women in sports and women in the workplace can receive more attention and recognition whether in sports or in the workplace.”

1. How did Karthik feel about their victory?

A．She found it amazing and incredible.

B．She regarded the victory as meaningless.

C．She believed it was a result of luck and chance.

D．She was disappointed with the outcome and expected more.

2. Why did Karthik take a break from squash between 2018 and 2022?

A．She had a serious injury.	B．She lost interest in the sport.
C．She wanted to start a family.	D．She was focusing on other sports.

3. Which of the following can best describe Karthik?

A．Creative and humorous.	B．Generous and cool-headed.
C．Determined and inspirational.	D．Knowledgeable and demanding.

4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．There is a lack of women role models.

B．Karthik has been pushing for women’s rights.

C．The situation of Indian women athletes is satisfying.

D．Karthik believes Indian women are naturally better athletes.
