• 2．I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself.And unless assigned （指定） a seat by the teacher，I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
     All this changed after I joined a sports team.It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team.At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn't have a good sense of balance，nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would laugh at me.But for the teacher who kept insisting on my "going for it"，I wouldn't have decided to give a try.
     Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts （選拔賽） was only the half of it!Luckily，I passed them.When I first started attending the practice sessions，I didn't even know the rules of the game，much less what I was doing.Sometimes I'd get confused and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really stupid.Thank God，I wasn't the only one "new" at the game，so I decided to focus on learning the game，do my best at each practice session，and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't know "just yet".
     I practiced and practiced.Soon I knew the rules and the "moves".Being part of a team was fun and encouraging.Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of confidence.With time，I learned how to play and made friends in the progress—friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player.I never had so much fun!
     With my improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates.I have gone from "hiding" in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself，to raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn't and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer.Now，I have more self-confidence in myself.Every time I come across a challenge，my teacher's "going for it" rings in my ears.
  
  （1）What made the author decide to join a basketball team？

  
  A．His teacher's encouragement.
  B．His determination to change.
  C．His desire to show himself off.
  D．His love for team cooperation.
  （2）Before attending the practice sessions，players must

  .
  A．pass the tryouts
  B．know what they will do
  C．have enough courage
  D．learn the rules in advance
  （3）From the last paragraph，what has happened to the boy？

  
  A．He has got more praise and become overconfident.
  B．He has continued to sit in the back of the classroom.
  C．He is willing to answer questions in class now.
  D．He focuses more on study rather than basketball.
  （4）What does the author want to tell us in the passage？

  
  A．Team spirit can teach us a lot.
  B．Practice makes perfect.
  C．Go for it，and we will make it.
  D．Desire to compete does matter.

• 3．A 99-year-old woman and a high school student in British Columbia have formed a wonderful friendship through a program that connects seniors with young people.
     Myrtle MacDonald，99，says she signed up for the local program after feeling lonely because her daughter and son couldn't keep her company.She was paired（結(jié)對子）with Jaelyn Brown，17，based on their common interest -- nursing. "I just found her more interested and less in a hurry than I expected.It has filled an empty spot，" said MacDonald.
     For the high school students taking part，the time spent with seniors can be used toward volunteer hours needed for graduation.They're supposed to speak for 30 minutes each week，but many go far beyond that. "I love and look forward to getting to talk to her every week.We talk about an hour and 15 minutes，and the time just goes by so quickly，" said Brown.
     MacDonald，a former nurse，spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need.The stories are inspiring to Brown，who also wants to become a nurse. "In high school they kind of say you go to school，you get a job，you have kids.It's are regular practice but talking to her has made me realize I don't have to limit myself to one thing.I can have it all，" she said.
     The program has been a good fortune to both seniors and high school students.Due to various reasons，seniors can't meet with their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours. "Therefore，there's been a huge positive response from them，" said the program's organizer Connie Stam.
  
  （1）How do the high school students help the seniors？

  
  A．By contacting their relatives.
  B．By communicating with them.
  C．By doing housework for them.
  D．By setting up the volunteer program.
  （2）What can be learned about the program？

  
  A．It improves the seniors' health.
  B．It collects some data for research.
  C．It calls for some practical nursing skills.
  D．It goes beyond the requirement for graduation.
  （3）Which can best describe MacDonald as a nurse？

  
  A．Grateful.
  B．Graceful.
  C．Helpful.
  D．Powerful.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．A Good Friend Is A Close Relative
  B．True Friendship Bridges Age Gaps
  C．Friendship Is The Basis Of Morality
  D．Old Friends And Old wine Are Best

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      This morning I went shopping and in a surrounded area where the shopping trolleys（購物車） are housed，I saw a young man who appeared very troubled.He was thin，dirty and very much alone.I went over to see if he was OK and asked if I could get him something.He said he was OK and that he didn't want anything.
      Oh，my heart went out to this man who appeared to have a mental（精神的）illness and to be homeless.He was so tired and he looked very sad.His feet were in worn shoes.He had a small backpack，a cap，a pair of well-worn runners and a can of coke with him.
      While shopping I kept an eye on him to see if he'd moved away or was still there.As he hadn' t moved on，I bought him a sandwich，a couple of bottles of water，some bananas，muesli bars and some cheese and put them in a bag for him.
      As I gave the bag to him，I sensed he was astonished at the simple act of kindness.He said， "You didn't have to do that for me"，to which I answered "I wanted to. " I spoke to him again as I was returning my trolley and he was clearly mentally unwell but I took the time to listen to him.
      He introduced himself as Nathan and I introduced myself to him.I hope Nathan felt a little bit of love and human kindness today in a world where many people like him are ignored（忽視），and given up.I'm sure Nathan never expected to be where he was now when he was growing up.
      I won' t forget Nathan easily.His sad brown eyes，his tiredness and my short connection with him today touched me deeply.I wonder what situations have brought him to his present state.I came to know his past experiences.
  
  注意：（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
      He lost everything，including his parents，in a hurricane （颶風(fēng)）.
  __________
      I happened to know from our talk that the next day was his birthday.
