Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children, so he didn't know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 39 degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. When I asked him how he felt, he simply replied “OK”. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 39 degree fever, so he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it, so he didn't know. He just made it.

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition nearly ended one night in 2010. Hill, then a 17-year-old high school senior in Pacific Grove, California, was in a car accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. “I wanted to prove to my community — and to myself — that I was still‘normal’,”she told Teen Vogue.“Whatever normal meant.”
Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in the wheelchair right alongside her non-disabled high school dance team. “It definitely took a lot of learning and practice,” Hill told Today.
After graduation, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her.
Hoping to reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes, “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you're walking or you're rolling,” she told CBS News. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety. They're having fun, and the fun is touching.
Hill has attained what many of us never will:her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for

wheelchair users of all ages and abilities with an eye to helping them find their inner Ginger Rogers or Julianne Hough.
The dancers aren't the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw a YouTube video of the team competing and commented, “You guys are so awesome! To be in a wheelchair and still be so beautiful makes me know I can be beautiful too! Thank you!”

tips 根据段落大意,提炼文章大意
文章是由段落组成的。段落的主题就是段落的中心思想,具体段落的中心思想又是为文章整体中心思想服务的。理解整篇文章的中心思想的方法是建立在理解具体段落中心的基础上的。找出每小段的主题句,各段的主题句常在该段的首句或尾句,各段主题句的整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。有的文章无明显主题句,主题句隐含在段意之中,这就需要进一步加工概括。根据全文的结构安排,理解文章的“重心”和支撑性细节。
例如上文B篇阅读中主题句不明显,但是每段的中心很明显,把每段中心意义连接起来,便很容易得出整篇的文章的中心为“Chase Your Dreams — Even in a Wheelchair”。
Ⅱ.读后续写
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。 Ten-year-old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house. The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm_trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.
This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There were hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.
Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door — one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juiciest coconuts.
One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed (辗转) and turned in bed. Suddenly, the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung (附着) to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, “It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!” They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound, the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, “The sea is rising! The sea is rising!” The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck (呆若木鸡).
The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, “How big the waves are!” He

went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.
Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, “You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near.” He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging (汹涌) in.
Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1:
Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them.

The water pushed him ahead. Fortunately, he caught a palm_tree in his courtyard. He panicked and screamed out to Sami but could not see him. He clung to tree tightly while the sea was all around. In hope of seeing Sami. Grandpa climbed higher up the tree. The water carried Sami round and round.
Paragraph 2:
“Sami, Sami!” Grandpa cried.“Don't be scared, little one, come to me, quickly.”“But Grandpa. I can't swim!” Another wave came with terrifying speed and force. Sami cried in despair. Suddenly, Sami felt himself thrown onto the top of a tree. He immediately held it! Looking around, he saw everything was terribly destroyed, but in the near distance, his grandpa was on another tree! Soon it was calm, both Grandpa and Sami came down the trees and rushed to hug each other, then they hugged the trees with tears of gratitude.
