Born on a farm in 1876, Mordecai Brown couldn’t have imagined his life as a Major League Baseball pitcher (投手). When he helped his parents at age 5, his right hand accidentally was caught in a corn harvester, losing parts of two fingers or three fingers left. However, his disabled hand did not keep him from doing what other boys of his age were doing, like playing baseball.

While working as a coal miner in his twenties, Mordecai joined a baseball team made up of fellow coal miners. In 1898, the team’s pitcher injured his arm. The manager ordered Mordecai to act as the pitcher. Mordecai shook his head and held up his right hand as a reminder. But the manager didn’t care. “Since you have the best arm on the team, you will have to pitch.” Finally, his team won the game nine to three.

In 1903, Mordecai Brown broke into Major League Baseball when he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. Only a year later, the management of the Cardinals decided that Mordecai’s disability would keep him from ever becoming a star pitcher. They traded him to the Chicago Cubs.

On a sunny October afternoon in 1908, thousands of pe ople went to New York City’s Polo Grounds to see the New York Giants and the Chicago Cubs battle. Mordecai was not the pitcher at first. He watched as the chosen starter faced the batters (击球员) for the New York Giants. Soon, the batters were filling the bases.

Then, Mordecai was asked to be the pitcher. It seemed that the unfavorable condition

didn’t affect him. He held the ball with his three fingers firmly and let it go. Strike one! Strike two! Strike three! The batter was out. And soon, the game was over. The Cubs beat the Giants, four to two.

Mordecai went on to pitch, winning one game after another, and retired after the 1916 season. In 1949, Mordecai Peter entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in New York, earning him a well-deserved place in baseball history.

It's good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new fashion trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?

What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it doesn't only belong to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away details about their personal life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?

Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in internet psychology, says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them. It seems that the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.

However, Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more positive posts we share on a platform, the more socially attractive we become. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We are supposed not to show off, as it's now known—especially about our love lives. It makes sense—if your date is going 'that well', would you really have time to share a photo with text?

So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaint about your lack of money really are too much.

8．Why do some people try to overshare at parties?

A．Because they want to catch others' attention.

B．Because they just want to show off something.

C．Because they have a strong desire to pour out their emotions.

D．Because they may expect to make a connection with someone.

9．What does the underlined word in Para.3 mean?

A．explore B．expose C．display D．discuss 10．What can we know from the passage?

A．We will become more socially attractive if we post more on a platform.

B．We tend to show sympathy when things go wrong.

C．We may be considered negative when seeking for sympathy by oversharing.

D．We can show off something positive especially about our love lives.

11．What is the purpose of the text?

A．To inform. B．To inspire. C．To advertise. D．To condemn.

For sports fans, nothing could be better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports field. But there’s nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a water-logged court or too much heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.

In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts "cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses sinking into the sea."

The threat to sporting events from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, officially approved and licensed by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that "By 2050, it's estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year." This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation from ticket sales.

Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade over the next decade.

Of course, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors as well as fans who should promote a wide low carbon message to help protect sporting fields—before it’s 'game over'.

12．What is the latest research above mainly concerned with?

A．the forbidden sporting events B．the influential climate change

C．the severe environmental pollution D．the rising sea level

13．What influence will the extreme weather have on the sports?

A．Football fans cannot afford the entrance fee.

B．Overheat will largely affect the cricket calendar.

C．The golf games will thoroughly disappear due to rising sea level.

D．Sports leaders will face bigger challenges to lead their teams to win.

14．What does the underlined part “the issue” refer to in the last paragraph?

A．the constant increase in sea level B．the fading popularity of sport events C．the changing attitude of sponsors. D．the effective reduction of carbon footprint 15．The research is introduced to us mainly to ___________.

A．inform the readers of the worsening global climate change

B．require governments’ protection of sporting fields

C．promote awareness of low carbon life on sports

D．urge financial support from sponsors

二、七选五

Happy, angry, amazed – these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending a message on our smartphones! Many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someone’s mobile screen. 16．. Emojis have become a vital tool for communication.

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word 'emoji' comes from the Japanese words for 'picture' and 'character'. 17．Now we have a picture for every mood or situation.

So now we have the option to give this new creation the visual 'thumbs-up' but have you thought (puzzled face) why we've become so addicted to using emojis? 18．. Emojis are a sort of substitute for the visual or non- verbal signals we normally give when we speak to someone face-to-face.

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language – they don't use words but tell a message in pictorial form so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language. However, the emojis you send need some thought. 19．– if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he is angry when he is saying he has hurt himself or he is clumsy!

Emojis are a good way for showing empathy—they are a virtual hug or a loving pat. But as linguist Neil Cohn says, "20．; to others, they are posing a threat to our language." It does show there is a lot more to our communication than words alone but does this mean the decline in

traditional writing?

A．They can sometimes be misinterpreted

B．They are widely adopted in people’s daily communication

C．To many, emoji are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate

D．The number of different images has dramatically increased since then

E.We're also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling

F.They really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively

G.To many, emojis are taking over conventional face-to-face communication

During my first seven semesters as a medical student, I 21 myself to studying and 22 spoke with real patients in a hospital. Then I started visiting local hospitals to gather data for my essay. One cold evening, I was “hunting" for the final three patients I needed to complete my study. The records showed a 43-year-old patient, Ms. A, was in the ward still 23 from her recent stroke(中风). No relatives or friends with her. When

I sat down on a chair next to her bed and told her my 24 , she agreed. The questionnaire

25 of three simple questions. Before I could 26 after finishing it, Ms. A spoke up in her weak voice. “Doc, do you think I can get back my normal life?” Deep in my heart, I thought, God, I wish I was your doctor so I could answer you properly. I replied that 27

I didn't know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learned about the recovery of stroke patients. Ms. A then talked about herself. She told me that her husband died and her pay as a cleaner was 28 enough for her kids. I didn't know what to say. Looking into her eyes, I tried to remember the lessons from a communication skills class a few years earlier, but my mind was 29 . Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms. A's hand. Since I didn't have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That's when it 30 to me that she was not expecting any 31 from me. She just wanted me to listen. All I did was nodding my head as a way of showing my 32 . Finally, Ms. A stopped talking. “I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel 33 now.” A single tear fell from the corner of her eye. Finally, I knew what to say. “It's OK, M a'am. It's part of my 34 .”

Ms. A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or technology. They just need someone with the 35

and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.

47．阅读下面材料, 根据其内界和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One day I got stuck in the Tube on my way to work.

The Tube—that’s what most people call it—is London’s underground railway system.

It was about nine o’clock in the morning, the middle of the rush-hour. Nobody had expected something unusual would happen later and everyone was doing their usual: a pretty girl gave her boyfriend sweet kisses one after another. Sitting next to me, a young woman with a suitcase and a baby took a scarf out of her suitcase and made her baby a nest, so that it could lie more comfortably. In fact, the train had just left Green Park Station when, instead of speeding up, it started to slow down and then came to a stand-still.

Ten minutes passed, though it seemed like half a day. the train didn’t move. Had the railwaymen forgotten all about our existence? Had there been a crash on the line in front? How serious was the breakdown? We had no means of knowing. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it is that has broken down. What they care is when they can get out of the trouble.

Twenty minutes passed. All hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the train really broken down? Several people thought so, but they were wrong. A railwayman at last came down the length of the train to tell us that the power supply had failed, and that we were

not to worry as they were working to put it right.

We could not leave the train, as it had stopped in the tunnel (隧道), not at a station. There was nothing else to do. The weak signal disabled cellphones. Besides, the train was getting hot and stuffy (闷). I even began to wonder if we were going to stay there for the rest of the day. 注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左石：

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy.

___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________

As a commuter (上班族) who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something.

___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________

根据上文“So now we have the option to give this new creation the visual 'thumbs-up' but have you thought why we've become so addicted to using emojis?(所以现在我们可以给这个新创意一个视觉上的“竖起大拇指”，但是你有没有想过为什么我们如此沉迷于使用表情符号？)”后文“Emojis are a sort of substitute for the visual or non-verbal signals we normally give when we speak to someone face-to-face.(表情符号是一种视觉或非语言信号的替代品，我们通常与人面对面交谈时，会给出这样的信号)”可知，上文提到了关于为什么沉迷使用表情符号的问题，可推知本句应当是给出这一问题的回答，结合后文提到表情符号可以发挥面对面交流时的作用，可推知表情符号可以让我们更有效地表达自己的情感。F选项中They指代上文emojis。故F选项“它们确实能让我们更有效地表达自己的情感”符合语境，故选F。

19．

根据后文“if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he is angry when he is saying he has hurt himself or he is clumsy!(如果一个朋友给你发了一个锤子的表情符号，如果他不解

释说他的意思是他受伤了或者他很笨手笨脚，你可能会认为他在生气！)”可知，后文给出的例子表明，表情符号有时会导致人与人之间的误解。故A选项“他们有时会使人与人之间产生误解”符合语境，故选A。

20．

根据后文“to others, they are posing a threat to our language. (对其他人来说，他们正在对我们的语言构成威胁)”可知，后文提到表情符号对其他人来说，正对语言构成威胁，可推知，本句是在说明对大多数人来说，表情符号的意义。后文中to others与G选项中to many相对应。故G选项“对大多数人来说，表情符号正在取代传统的面对面交流”符合语境，故选G。
