He didn't learn his ABCs as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the schoolyard races. However, his smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the mountain sky. Kevin's enthusiasm for life was quite infectious.When Kevin joined the boys9 school basketball team, basketball became the center of his life. At practice, he worked so hard that you'd think he was preparing fbr the NBA. He liked to stand in a certain place near the freethrow line and shoot at the basket. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball. "Look at me, Coach!" he'd shout at Randy, jumping up and down with the excitement of shooting.Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn't help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season, except one一the night when it snowed and the other team couldn't make it to the game.It was a cold snowing afternoon when their last game came. As the lastplace team, they played against the firstplace team. The game went pretty much the same as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin's team stood nearly 30 points behind.At that point, one of Kevin's teammates called timeout. As he came to the side, Randy couldn't imagine why the timeout had been called. "Coach,“ said the boy. "This is our last game and I know that Kevin has played in every game, but he's never made a basket. I think we should let Kevin make a basket. With the game pletely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so the plan was made. When they had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who was standing in his special place near the freethrow line.注意：1 .续写词数应为150左右；2 .请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。His first shot bounced around but missed.Finally, the ball took one bounce and went in unexpectedly.A.

All day the rain beat against the roof of our cabin.Father sat at the window, looking out over the lake. My older brother Jeremy, who had recently turned sixteen years old, lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I paced the room, occasionally glancing toward Father to see if there was any sign that the rain would let up.“I wish we'd never e out to this boring place J Jeremy said.I stopped pacing and looked at Father. He gave no sign that he had heard, and I hoped he hadn't. This trip meant a lot to him. He used to e out here with own father.I started pacing again.“I mean, if we'd stayed home, at least I could watch TV, go out with my friends or play my guitar,“ Jeremy continued.Silence continued for some time. I kept pacing, imagining the trip I had dreamed of before the bad weather had set in. I saw us in the boat, anchor dropped in a calm bay casting our lines toward shore, the way Father had described it when he was trying to convince Jeremy to e along.Father stood up and turned to face us. He smiled at me. 4te on, get up, Jeremy,“ he said. "Lefs go fishing, boys." He picked up his fishing rod and the tool box, opened the door, and walked out into the rain.Jeremy and I watched Father walk down the pathway toward the dock （码头），the wind whipping （打）at his hair,the rain wetting his clothes. Jeremy shook his head. "He's crazy if he thinks I'm going with him,“ he said. "Maybe I would have when I was a little kid, but not now," he said.I waited for a while, unsure of what to do, looking out the open door at Father, who was walking onto the dock, facing against the storm. Jeremy couldn't believe I picked up my rod and walked out into the storm after Father. I couldn't quite hear what Jeremy said because of the wind in my ears, but I heard his footsteps behind me as he began to follow me out to the boat.24.

Moreover, many languages around the world have less than 1,000 speakers now. Linguists （语言学家）and researchers believe that by the end of the century, at least half of the world's languages will have died.Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages spare no effect to fight back. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly disappearing languages in the online world.For example, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago, advocating "digitally underrepresented, languages. They are focused on promoting languages that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, but have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them.There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project,which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will e with around 13,000 pages of information. Projects like these have as their main goals to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their speakers have died.Countless languages will continue to perish as the remaining speakers die. Of course we cannot only rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages many opportunities to bounce back and survive.28. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show?A. Many languages are endangered.B. Culture determines language development.C. Human activity has an influence on languages.D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages.29. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do?A. Promote online courses of local languages.B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages.C. Increase dying language speakers to a million.D. Make certain languages available in digital form.30. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project?A. Tt is portable but very expensive.B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press.C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity.D. It contains automatically updated information.31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “perish" in the last paragraph?A. Be enriched. B. Be lost. C. Be acquired. D. Be invented.DThey say procrastination （拖延）is the thief of time 一 actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short.Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task pletion for their research.Participants were invited to plete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline
