• 2．I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada，I was sitting and watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to debate the importance of sports.Different from my father，I argued with all the overconfidence of a teenager that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and went as far as claiming that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"
     As an adult，my teenage tendencies of exaggeration（夸张）may have faded but I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience.The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this.The effect of cancelling all sports from professional leagues right down to amateur budding athletic programs，can be felt by millions of people worldwide.To many the social emotional impact is stronger than the physical.The loss of the sense of community，of belonging，and of an extended family is real for many girls，boys，men and women everywhere.Others are feeling physical challenges as well as they are struggling to stay active during these times.
     But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations，and sports once again is playing a role.Sports teams are staying in touch online and are a source of much needed support，love and laughter in these times.So many professional athletes are playing vital roles through this crisis by sharing their messages of support and at times，making valuable monetary donations to the cause.Even in areas of isolation，people are coming out on their balconies and leading their neighbours through a workout programme to help them stay active.Others are turning to online workout programmes to follow.Once again，sports is finding its way.
     So，in challenging times such as now，people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.
  
  （1）What may the author's father agree about sports？

  
  A．It is a personal hobby.
  B．It boosts confidence.
  C．It affects social relations.
  D．It helps avoid wars.
  （2）How does life without sports affect people？

  
  A．They lack family connection.
  B．They have lost their hobbies.
  C．They feel bored more than lonely.
  D．They suffer both in body and mind.
  （3）How do isolated people respond to the tough situations？

  
  A．Struggle to be athletes.
  B．Try to stay physically active.
  C．Make donations to good causes.
  D．Design new sports programmes.
  （4）What is the best title？

  
  A．Sports reduces risks in our livesB
  B．Sports continues to offer strength
  C．Sports makes the impossible possible
  D．Sports has new functions in the pandemic

• 3．More than a third of small towns in Georgia lost population in the last year alone，highlighting the challenges of reviving rural areas.New census（人口普查）estimates show that Camilla fell below 5，000 residents.Sparks fell below 2，000，and Milan fell to 661 residents for a loss of 7% of its population.All three towns are in South Georgia.
     "Many of the young people in these communities graduate from high school and don't come back.They go to college，whatever，they don't come back，" said David Bridges，head of its Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation in Tifton.
     Meanwhile，Georgia's cities are growing，having no problem drawing people from small towns and other cities.Atlanta grew more than 1% in the past year and is now nearing the half-million-resident mark.
     The trend of people moving from rural to urban areas is hardly a new one——it's been going on worldwide for more than a century.But continued population losses have raised questions about whether rural areas can do anything to                   .
     Rural residents can face a number of challenges including access to good jobs，transportation and health care.Manufacturing jobs have dried up in many places，while modernization and new technology means fewer people are needed for farming.And many people are deciding to have smaller families than was typical a century ago.
     "The older generation is dying，the younger generation is moving away，and because there are perceived to be fewer business opportunities，financial opportunities，etc.It's very challenging to get inbound population." Bridges said.
     Demographers（人口学家） expect the shift from rural to urban to continue.But there are some bright spots in rural America still.Jackson County near Athens was recently named one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation by the Census Bureau.Amazon opened a large fulfillment center there a couple of years ago.And Young Harris，near the Georgia-North Carolina border，has grown by more than 80% since 2010.
  
  （1）What happened to the small towns mentioned in paragraph 1？

  
  A．Their sizes grew rapidly.
  B．Their population declined.
  C．They drew more residents.
  D．They raised challenges to locals.
  （2）Which of the following best explains"reverse the tide"underlined in paragraph 4？

  
  A．People move from rural to urban areas.
  B．Small towns draw people from cities.
  C．Rural areas develop their economy quickly.
  D．Population continue to grow in urban areas.
  （3）Why is David Bridges quoted？

  
  A．To offer more evidence.
  B．To draw a conclusion.
  C．To show his contribution.
  D．To give part of the reasons.
  （4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Jackson County is the best town in the US.
  B．Rural towns will keep growing to larger ones.
  C．Others will follow the lead of these bright spots.
  D．There can be measures to help rural towns grow.

第二节（满分25分）

• 9．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。
      Anyone going to an amusement park might have seen the likes of me.I held purses，cellphones and sunglasses while others threw themselves on roller coasters.I admit their bravery，but refuse to challenge my own limitations.
      One day when we were at the Wonderland Amusement Park in Toronto.My friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster.But the click，click，click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me fear.The stop at the top，before falling with peoples screams，seemed terrible.
      My friends were still trying to persuade me，and I was still saying no，when I suddenly saw a familiar face，one I had never seen outside a television set.It was Jennifer Capriati，a popular tennis star at the top of her game，already winning titles at the age of fourteen.She was my heroine.I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.
      She was weaving her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Jet Scream.I was running quickly because I didn't want to pass up the chance to meet her face to face，but I was also a bit nervous.So I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.
      Several minutes later，she got out from the exit，laughing and talking with her brother.I focused on her walking toward me.I looked down at the ground.She walked past.It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought，but I had to take the chance.I called her name，not very confidently，but more like a question， "Jennifer？" She turned around.Her eyes met mine.Our eyes actually met "Would you mind signing for me？" I asked，handing the pen and paper toward jye.ai.Her hand wrote over the paper and said， "You are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together."
  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。
  Hearing her invitation，I was filled with mixed feelings.
  My friend came up and asked， "Are you sure you will take a roller coaster？"
