26、Once my husband was diagnosed (诊断) with stage 4 cancer, I didn’t go back to work and my life became about being the best caretaker and wife I could possibly be. After my husband was gone, it felt like my entire future had been ripped out from under me. All my hopes and dreams had involved the two of us together. But life took on new meaning.
I went to the quiet beach in Hawaii that my husband and I discovered together the first morning of our honeymoon and spread his ashes (骨灰) in the ocean. I once wished a heart attack would strike me dead, but something about having to be alone and carry the pain made me stronger than before. I realized that I could rely on myself and be my own friend.
Pretty soon, I went to Florida and saw my dad for the first time in 6 years. I went to Australia by myself and made many lasting friends from all over the world. I started to experience things that challenge myself and live life to the fullest. After many trips to other countries, I returned to work. But this time instead of working really hard like before, 1 made a promise to myself to work less and experience more.
Since my husband’s death, I have travelled to over 20 countries. The lesson I could learn from my travelling experiences was that we should live in the moment. We can’t know what will happen in the future, or even control much of it but I don’t want to wait to follow my dreams and check things off my bucket list (遗愿清单). I hope you don’t either.

27、The moment that Jiang Mengnan received the Touching China Person of the Year Award for2021, she said she most wanted to express her gratitude to her parents. Born in 1992 in Yizhang county, Hunan Province, Jiang’s world has been silent since she was 6 months old, when the drugs she was given damaged her hearing. So, Jiang’s parents, both middle school teachers, taught her to learn vocalization (发声法) and lip reading.
Jiang put her hands on the throats of her parents when they talked and felt the vibration (震动) of the vocal cords (声带) to learn to speak. When reading Pinyin, she carefully looked at the lips of other people’s pronunciations to know the formation of each syllable. Mastering a single word can take at least 1000 practice attempts for Jiang, and different people having differing mouth movements added difficulty to her when it came to lip reading.
Through lip reading and self-study, she was able to keep up with learning and was accepted by Jilin University School of Pharmacy (药剂学) with a high score of 615 on the college entrance examination. In 2018, she was accepted as a PhD candidate at Tsinghua University’s School of Life Sciences.
Because of her hearing loss, she couldn’t be a doctor. Instead, she chose pharmacy to help reduce people’s pain and assist their recovery. More importantly, she is helping inspire disabled children in her native Hunan Province and beyond to struggle for success and challenge the low expectations that society still places on them. Besides, she aims at teaching children in similar situations not to be limited by their disability. As often as she can, Jiang visits special education schools and meets with students. She tells them to do their best to achieve as much as a so-called healthy person.
Jiang’s story is one of victory over adversity. She stressed that people with disabilities have no need to feel discouraged, as they can do the same or even better than non-disabled people around them. When God closes a door, he opens a window, and this girl believes that all challenges are gifts.
【1】What caused Jiang to lose her hearing?
A.She had a genetic disease.
B.She took a harmful medicine.
C.She suffered from a high fever.
D.She was injured in a car accident.
【2】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The profession Jiang took after graduation.
B.The difficulty Jiang met on her way to success.
C.The main achievements Jiang made despite her disability.
D.The attempts Jiang has made to help the disabled children.
【3】What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Misfortune.
B.Devotion.
C.Pain.
D.Success.
【4】Which proverb can best describe Jiang?

B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.A man can do no more than he can.

29、Nobody was watching Ahmed Hafnaoui at the beginning of the swimming race. But all eyes were on the 18-year-old Tunisian(突尼斯的)teenager at the finish.
“When I touched the wall and I saw myself first, I just couldn’t accept that—it was too unbelievable,” said the teenager, who became the unexpected winner of the 400-meter freestyle at the Tokyo Olympic Games on Sunday.
When asked how he kept his lead, he simply said, “I don’t know. I just put my hand in the water. That’s it. ”The swimmer seemed at a loss for words. Shaking his head, he said, “It’s a dream that has become true. ”

Standing on the podium(领奖台), Hafnaoui felt really excited. “I was in tears because when I saw the flag of my country and I heard the national song in the background, it was great, ” he said. “I’m so proud of it. ”
Hafnaoui has another chance to pull off a surprise when he competes in the 800 freestyle on Thursday. Next year, he said he plans to attend college in the US.

32、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。
When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old.I preferred that students began at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence, I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed (认为), because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming—he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed a letter on the upcoming concert to the students’ homes. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts (辍学者), but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnasium was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would be reduced to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21 in C Major.
