23、 In 2007, Jamie Whitmore was considered as one of the most successful athletes in America.
However, everything changed during a competition that seemed like many others she had conquered. As a professional athlete, Whitmore was used to suffering, but she never imagined the pain in her leg could be a deadly cancer.
What doctors found during surgery shocked them all: Whitmore had Spindle Cell Sarcoma, a soft tissue tumor (肿瘤) that can start in the bone, and the tumor was wrapped around her nerve and touching several vital organs. They couldn’t cut it out fearing to burst the tumor.
When she heard the diagnosis for the first time, Whitmore said, “time stood still, I couldn’t breathe. They were talking about the treatment and I started crying as I didn’t want to die.” Finally, the doctors enlisted the help of several specialists to remove the tumor. Whitmore developed sepsis (败血症) from the surgery and endured a two-month recovery. When she began to feel sick again, Whitmore was sure her cancer was back. Instead, doctors gave her unexpected news: She was pregnant-with twins. “That was a whole other freak-out,” Whitmore recalled.
She has never met a challenge she couldn’t overcome. Today, Whitmore is a mother of two sons and cancer-free. She is competing again, and has won a gold medal in the Paralympics (残奥会), nine world titles, and has set two world records. She travels as a motivational speaker when she doesn’t spend time with her sons. Whitmore has some words of advice for others with limitations: “Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. Some doctors told me I would never ride anything. And yet I rode my mountain bike 104 miles climbing from 9,000 feet to 14,000 feet. People with two good legs have fallen short of that task! You just can’t give up.”

24、 In the summer of 1967, Walker was about to enter the sixth grade after having recently moved to the new town. Her mother signed Walker up for Girl Scouts(童子军)to help her get used to the place. She was paired with a girl named Laurie Luna in a four-person tent. At the camp, Walker and Lima's lives were tightly tied. As a Girl Scout, you have someone to rely on, to know where you're going, to talk over things with, and to develop a friendship. It was a wonderful time for these girls to look back on.
After boating with Luna one afternoon, lightning hit a tree outside the girls' tent. "It happens in the mountains in summertime. Then a storm blew in and sent us all to our tents," Walker remembers. "Lightning struck and its path led through me. I was lying on the floor seriously burned and unconscious(昏迷的)."As bad luck would have it. Walker had been standing on her bed at the time. Instantly, two-thirds of Walker's body was burned.
The other three girls in the tent screamed and ran away, but Luna quickly realized her friend was not among them. She thought Walker must be missing and went back to look for her — only to find Walker on the floor of the tent. Seeing Walker, she sped to the counselors, brought help and, in doing so, saved Walker. The counselor raced to give Walker first aid treatment, who then was rushed to the hospital by a nurse.
"The timing of getting artificial respiration(人工呼吸)and being taken to the hospital allowed me to recover with few health problems and to continue on with my life——to be a teacher, a wife, a mother, and a part of the world," Walker says.
【1】What can we say about Walker from the first paragraph?

【2】What happened to Walker one afternoon?
A.She got lost in the mountain. B.She was hit by a big lightning.
C.She was late for the boating. D.She was ill because of the storm.
【3】How was Walker saved at last?
A.By relying on her strong will.
B.By calling someone for help.
C.By using her skills learned at school.
D.By receiving instant treatment in time.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?

26、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 things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining?” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.
注意:
1、续写词数应为150左右;
2、请按如下格式作答。
She picked it up, not realizing she had paint on her fingers.
