2.When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money.Paired through DOROT,a New York organization which was launched in 1976,they are a perfect match. "I was a good opponent for him.I don't think he expected it." Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well.Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy.Williams and Daniels' relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.
Since its founding,DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services.Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults,in services specific to the person's needs and interests,with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.
Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years,but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic(流行?。?has emerged only in recent years.In 2018,the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness,highlighting the increasing concern around the issue.This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission,which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.
Fortunately,there are ways to battle loneliness,including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT.It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends,joining a community or social group,or volunteering to connect with like-minded people.The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants,young and old.
Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations.Practicing self-care is also encouraged,as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.
(1)What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.She had a running race with Daniels.
B.Daniels felt disappointed.
C.Daniels had a tough win.
D.She gave Daniels money as a gift of greeting.
(2)What is the purpose of DOROT?
A.To make technological innovation.
B.To enhance the living standards of the elderly.
C.To offer job opportunities for people of all ages.
D.To provide seniors with inter-generational connection.
(3)What does the author try to stress in paragraph 3?
A.The solution to loneliness.
B.The root cause of loneliness.
C.The classification of loneliness.
D.The growing attention to loneliness.
(4)In which section of a newspaper does this passage probably come from?

3. Several years ago,I was at a pre-season football practice at a high school where I was working with the team on a concussion (腦震蕩) research project.The players were lined up in two rows facing each other and with little more instruction from the coach than, "on the whistle,hit the man across from you",great concern rushed through my mind.
Professional sports get the lion's share of attention,but over three million children and teenagers in the United States play the same game.This directly places concussions as a significant public health concern for all.
However,for decades,concussion has been considered a temporary injury with no long-term consequences.Many athletes will do just about anything to stay on the field and "play through the pain" as a sign of toughness.In 2005,with the release of the brain tissue pathology (病理學(xué)) report of Mike Webster a,a retired National Football League player,our thinking on concussion began to shift.Since then,public attention has focused on this link between brain injury and blows to the head.As our understanding of concussion progressed to understanding its significance as an injury,so too did the development of player equipment.
In the early 1900s football was played without helmets (頭盔),but severe injuries,like skull fractures,led to the occasional use of leather helmets in the 1920s.The first facemask entered the game in the 1950s.Modern helmets use advanced shell materials,have moveable panels to absorb forces,and multi-layered padding that responds to different impacts.Companies will continue to improve helmets as new materials become available,guided by the newest science.
Sports are an important part of a society's culture and they give millions of children much-needed exercise.Yet,participation in any sport carries injury risk,and concussion will always be part of that.As those children become adults and make sport their hobby or even career,ensuring them play safely at all levels is essential.
(1)What made the author feel concerned?
A.The coach's in experience.
B.The physical conflicts among the players.
C.Unawareness of the potential injuries.
D.Unpredictable outcome of the project.
(2)What did athletes use to do when meeting with sports-related concussion?
A.They tended to ignore it.
B.They felt scared about it.
C.They quit playing immediately.
D.They refused medical assistance.
(3)What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning the helmet?
A.Its gradual improvement.
B.Its widespread influence.
C.The discovery of its new materials.
D.The difficulty of its mass production.
(4)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Exercise is vital for children.
B.Sports safety can't be overemphasized.
C.No participation in sports is without injuries.
D.Concussion is the most common injury in sports.組卷:13引用:3難度:0.3

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。
"Go home and ask your mummy about your blind brother!I am surprised you didn't know that he is as blind a sabat!" Hearing Nathan's words,I wanted to land a blow on him for making fun of my two-year-old brother,David,but I was more desperate to find out the truth.
With a misty vision,I ran home as fast as I could.Still out of breath,I questioned, "Is David blind?" Mother turned to me with tears in her eyes. "Yes,he's born blind." It was a heartbreaking moment.I knew clearly the dream of showing David my cool soccer moves or playing videogames with him ended cruelly. "Why did you keep the truth from me?I often wondered why he didn't look at me or why he was always tripping over things and I thought it was because he was still too young..." Before I could continue any further,mother hugged me and cried, "I'm sorry,Caleb.Dad and I just didn't know how to tell you."
Suddenly,it struck me that David was blind but he could still hear the whole conversation.Not wanting him to be affected by it,I stopped crying and went forward and embraced him. "I love you so much,David." Worry crept upon me:How hard life would be for him!
Little did I know that David was to inspire me so greatly.
As David grew up,he was fairly strong-willed.Despite the challenges that he faced,he continued to attend the school for visually impaired children.He insisted he would take the bus home on his own.Often,he would walk through the main door looking sheepish and saying the same phrase, "Sorry Mum,I am late.I boarded the wrong bus again."
Tough as life was,there was always silver lining of misfortune.Despite not being able to see,he could play a piece of music after listening to it being played once on the piano.He even dreamed of playing solo (獨奏) one day onstage.Luckily for him,the school had discovered David's extraordinary talent.
注意:
(1)續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2)請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
One day,David burst through the main door excitedly.
Tapping the ground with his walking stick,David entered the stage.
