I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who

11、 looked somewhat_. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and

12、not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“My I get you something ?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more , and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him we

13、ll, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.”I could hardly believe it. I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the

17、rn again and again. After my first visit to Boracay, Philippines, in March of last year, I knew that I would return soon. I was there again in April this year.It was on the island that I first tried kite-surfing. The Bulabog Beach on the eastern side of Boracay has many wind-surfing and kite-surfing

18、 sports centers. I randomly chose a center, which happened to be an affiliation(附屬機(jī)構(gòu)) of International Kiteboarding Organization.The organization has training centers around the world, and some of its courses are tailored for beginners like me.The center on Boracay has different courses, from recrea

19、tional to professional. In the recreational category, trainees have to do the discovery level before they go on to more advanced levels.My instructor Brian, who was from the United States, strictly followed the centers rules about levels, and began the training by asking me to set up the kite on the

20、 sand, which was the very first step at the ground level of the discovery course.I had a teammate, and we both couldnt wait to have the feeling of riding with the wind on the surface of the water. But we had to practice at length the various skills for assessing the direction of the wind and the mov

21、e-ments of our bodies.It was there in March, which was still the windy season on the island. Because of the winds, the Philippines were important on the ancient marine (海上的) trade route.

24、Philippines started to trade in the windy season.BBecause the winds made the Philippines active in the ancient time.CBecause the Philippines had been relying on the winds to trade.DBecause the winds benefited the Philippines a lot in the ancient maritime trade.23（8分）Mr. Omorogbe was originally set t

25、o graduate in 2014. But after a fight with his dad, he was “tossed out” on the street. Eventually, his grandmother took him in for a while, but with her working during the day, Omorogbe needed to care for his seriously ill grandfather. School eventually became too much, so he dropped out.For many st

26、udents across the country, circumstances like Omorogbes can derail (使偏離軌道) them the high-school-to-college track. In his case, Boston Public Schools Re-Engagement Center was able to connect him with EDCO Youth Alternative, a school that provides extra support to nontraditional and struggling student

27、s. He started in September 2016 and will have his diploma in hand by May.“I have my counselor (指導(dǎo)教師) who calls me every day. If I miss school for two or three days, shell call me, and ask, Are you OK? ” says Omorogbe. “During the vacations, shell call me; for my birthday, shell bake me a cake.”Ten y

28、ears ago, Boston high school students like Omorogbe were far less likely to get their diploma. In 2007, the citys graduation rate was 59 percent. This year, in 2017, the number of Boston students who graduated in four years hit a record high of 72.4 percent. Statewide, the graduation rate inched up

29、to a record 87.5 percent from 87.3 percent last year, according to state figures.“Youre seeing gradual progress,” says Paul Reville, a professor at Harvards Graduate School of Education and former Secretary of education for Massachusetts. “Were dealing with one of the most important problems that we

30、 have in education these days, which is people dropping out without a high school education and having no place to go in our economy.”Education experts say Bostons record graduation rate was particularly encouraging because of the gains by the citys African-American and Latino students in the last d

31、ecade 13.6 and 16.5 percentage points respectively.But with roughly 5,500 kids across the state still dropping out of high school every year, professor Reville and others admit that Massachusetts, widely recognized as having the nations leading education system, still has a long way to go.1、Why did

32、Omorogbe drop out of school?AHe had a poor family. BHe had no interest in his studies.CHe was seriously injured in a fight. DHe had to take on the role of a carer.2、What does Omorogbe think of his counselor?AShes strict. BShes kind-hearted.CShes open-minded. DShes knowledgeable.3、Which of the follow

33、ing is TRUE about Bostons high school graduation rate?AIt reached a record 87.5 percent this year.BThere has been a rise of over 10 percent in 10 years.CThis years figures show a sharp increase over last years.DLess than half of the students could graduate 10 years ago.4、Whats the best title for the

They irrigate our farms, are an important means of

35、transport and a source of eco-friendly power.

Game-time cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which shou

47、ld not be considered a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is more than a form of entertainment. It is really a competitive sport.Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. The majority of the teams require a certain level of tumbling (翻騰) ability. Its a very common thing for

48、gymnasts, so its easy for them to go into competitive cheerleading. Usually these cheerleaders integrate lots of their gymnastics experience including their jumps, tumbling, and overall energy. They also perform lifts and throws. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in d

49、ifferent positions that require strength and working with other teammates.Competitive cheerleading is also an activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared. It is awarded points for technique, creativity and sharpness. Usually the more difficult the action is, the better th

50、e score is. Thats why cheerleaders are trying to experience great difficulty in their performance.Besides, there is also a strict rule of time. The whole performance has to be completed in less than three minutes and fifteen seconds, during which the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certai

51、n area. Any performance beyond the limit of time is invalid.Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women.

52、Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders dont use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect

53、all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accep

54、ted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach.1、What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading?ATo compare skill

55、s of participants.BTo make the audience feel amused.CTo attract more people to watch events.DTo cheer up the competitors on the court.2、The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.AexamineBcombineCidentifyDreplace3、We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading _.A
