I and the other fifty girls sat on the chairs in the gym of my middle school.We waited there for the coach to give the results of the competition for roles as cheerleaders (啦啦队队员)．One by one, each girl left her seat, jumping up and down as their number was called out. “Will I be one of them?” I wondered. I was getting more nervous, and each second felt like a century.

“Number seventeen.” the coach called out. Hearing it, I jumped right away from my seat. And I ran over to stand next to the girls who had been chosen to be cheerleaders. We smiled and hugged each other because we became members of the 10­girl cheerleading team.

During the following days, I and the other nine cheerleaders practiced for the performance. We were dressed in our blue uniforms before the upcoming sports meet. It was going to be held on a Friday morning. However, the night before the sports meet, I got very nervous, and worried what if I made a mess in the performance. I tried to comfort myself, “You can make it. Just calm down and relax.” The next morning, my parents left home for work and I hurried to go to school.

Unluckily, when I arrived at school, I found the other nine cheerleaders were all in their white uniforms. But I was still in my blue uniform. At once I realized I had made a mistake: wearing the wrong uniform. There was not much time left before the cheerleading performance started. What should I do? Both my team members and the coach were worried. Then a cheerleader called Tammy offered to help me. She said, “My home is quite close to our school.Maybe I could give my mother a call. She is at home now. She could drive Jane to her home, so Jane can change her uniform quickly.”

The coach allowed Tammy to give it a try.

2 . At the age of 17, when my parents asked me, after passing my higher secondary school, whether I wanted to ______ a medical college or an engineering college, I found myself between a rock and a hard place.

After all,   ______ a spot at either type of college and getting a degree was no less ______ than landing on the moon unless one is really interested in the studies.

4 . 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。 续写的词数应为150左右。

I walked into a restaurant and sat down at a table. I picked up a menu, trying to decide what to eat.“Excuse me. Is your name Roger?” asked someone, who touched me on the shoulder. I looked up and turned to the side to see a rather nice looking woman standing before me. “Yes.” I replied, looking rather confused as I had never seen the woman before.

“My name is Barbara and my husband is Tony. He is from George High School.” she said, pointing to a distant table near the door. I looked in the direction but I did not recognize the man who was sitting alone at the table, with a wheelchair (轮椅) around the corner.

“I'm really sorry. The name doesn't ring a bell.”I said.

She turned and walked back to her table. She and her husband immediately began talking and once in a while looked directly at me.

I sat there, thinking hard and tried to remember who this Tony guy was. “I must know him, ”I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up my coffee and took a sip. All of a sudden, it came to me like a flash lightning.

“Tony. THE BULLY (校园霸凌者). The bully of my seventh grade geography class.” I said to myself. I turned around and faced in his direction.

How many times that guy had made fun of my big ears in front of girls? How many times he called me “four-eyed toad”? How many times he pushed me up against the lockers just to make himself look like a big man to all the other students?

He raised his hand and waved at me. I smiled, returned the wave and turned back and began to eat my breakfast.

“Goodness. He's so thin now. Not the big guy that I remembered,” I thought to myself.

All of a sudden I heard the sound of dishes breaking so I turned around to see what had happened.

“Could you help me get into the wheelchair?” asked Tony.

6 . This time last year I had a bit of a crisis. I left the company where I’d worked for over 23 years; my child went to university.

I went for a walk with a friend. “How are you?” she said. I tried to say I was “fine”, but the word stuck in my throat. I started to cry and couldn’t stop.

“Change is difficult,” she said. That hit me in the heart. It allowed me to find things tough, to not be coping, to admit to myself I was in trouble.

I went home and sat down at my computer, searching for a site that might give me comfort. There was nothing. I shouldn’t have been surprised. During my years as an editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, I’d had trouble getting stories about women in midlife, or older, into the magazine.

Women are described about their lives: get educated, get a job or career, find a partner and somewhere to live, have some kids...and that’s where the script stops. The later parts of women’s lives are unmapped, undiscussed.

So I’ve set up an online platform and community for women in midlife. It’s called Noon and it exists to help women find their next act. We tell stories of transformation-the woman who became a stand-up comedian at 60 and a civil servant who changed career to become a doctor at 50. We offer expert advice to get women through the pinch points.

Why shouldn’t younger women look forward to their “Noontime”, a period of wisdom and purpose, when having jumped through the hoops society sets out for us, we can finally pursue our own dreams. There is so much more to come.

1. What brought the author trouble?

A．Losing her child.	B．Losing her job.
C．Bad relationship with neighbors.	D．Changes in life and family.

2. Why was there nothing that could be found in the computer?

A．Because there was little care for women above mid-age.

B．Because the author was too careless to find.

C．Because the author’s friend prevented her from doing so.

D．Because nobody was interested in women ?s stories.

3. Which of the following is close in meaning to the underlined word in Para. 5?

A．Talk.

B．Discussion.

C．Saying

D．Story.

4. What can be learned from the text?

A．Women are being respected.	B．Mid-aged women are still hopeful.
C．There are too many unhappy women.	D．Women should be independent.

7 . Matly Gregg, a 40-year-old former Apple engineer, needed a change in his life. So, he decided he would run across the country.

Gregg wants to run for office in 2022 in New Hampshire and hopes to get in touch with the “real America” by running 5,075 miles across the country before he does so. He is also trying to raise $ 1 million for Firefighter Cancer Support Network. “It’s a great conversation starter with complete strangers,” Gregg said. “I think we can raise $ 1 million, and I also think our firefighters are worth it, especially in light of what’s happening now in California.”

Gregg stated his run on November 6. So far, he has been averaging about 25 miles a day and has made stops in Santa Cruz and Salinas, California. “I’ve had this goal for a very long time, ever since the Terry Fox Story. That movie inspired me to start running as a kid, and running across the country. I always felt it would be something that would change my life.” Gregg said. “My family loves it. We’re all a little ambitious. My coworkers mostly think I’m crazy. My friends love that I’m taking a different path to my life knowing that I was very comfortable at Apple,” Gregg said. “But I see real places in this world where I can make a larger impact, and I need to get out there and learn more before I can help.”

Gregg recently purchased his childhood home on his 40th birthday — the house had been off the market for 20 years. “The idea that I’m running back to it keeps me motivated every day. My father passed away when I was young, and he built that house,” Gregg said. “I’ve only spent two days in it (I haven’t slept in it yet), and I can say nothing will make me more thrilled than the moment when I am to go back to it to explore.”

1. Why does Gregg want to run across the country?

C．To improve his health.	D．To meet strangers.

A．A movie.

9 . Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School. For him, the sky’s the limit, but it wasn’t always that way.

The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father’s best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton’s study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.

But with help from a free tutor, Staton’s grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to.

So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. “Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter. “They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future.”

Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it?’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”

1. What can we know about Staton from paragraph 2?

A．He received special care from his teacher.

B．He used to have poor academic performance

C．He worked three jobs to help support his family

D．He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties

2. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Decreased.

B．Change.

C．Appeared.

D．Continued.

3. What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector?

A．The mixed backgrounds of his coworkers

B．The misunderstanding about garbage men

C．The strong encouragement from his coworkers

D．The misfortune of people at the bottom of society

4. What can we infer from the text?

A．Courage is resistance to fear and pain.	B．Success comes from sweat and support.
C．Achievements are going from failure to failure.	D．Progress takes place outside the comfort zone.
