I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre, the former Yankees star pitcher (投手) and Mets and Yankees coach. I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan. 13, 2018, at the age of 77.‎ He was warm, friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues. He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a "two- seamer," a fastball that tends to sink, as well as a straight four-seam fastball. I knew that pitching was not for me. At age 45, my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx, and softball games as an adult. Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees. I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis(诊断) of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in April 2000, and a stem cell transplant.‎ In the summer of 2002, I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloa Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.‎ This shocked me, and frankly, I became quite depressed. I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel. One day, my phone rang. Mel was calling from the Yankees' locker room. I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment. He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details. I hung on every word. He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! "I feel great,and I'm not retiring," he told me. ‎ This incredible experience lifted my spirits. Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant I repeated to myself, "Look at Mel. If he can do it, so can I."‎ ‎4. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1?‎ A. He met an unusual coach. B. He was successfully cured.‎ C. He joined a famous team. D. He was chosen as a pitcher.‎ ‎5. What do we know about the author?‎ A.He called Mel for his treatment.‎ B. He was a good baseball player.‎ C. He forgot what Mel had told him.‎ D. He was not skilled in pitching.‎ ‎6. How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma?‎ A.23. B.61. C.59. D.45. ‎ ‎7. What would be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. The Skills Taught by My Former Coach B. The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors C. My Coach's Spirits Shining on Me D. My Baseball Team Helping Me Out C Uber and Lyft offer people quick rides with a light hit on a smartphone. In a short time, these companies have made huge changes to the way the world gets around. But are they making things better?‎ The ride-hailing(叫车) companies use smartphone apps to allow riders to call for a ride whenever and wherever. The rides are faster and cheaper than taxis. They are also more convenient and more comfortable than most public transportation choices, like buses, subways or trains.‎ As Uber and Lyft spread out around the world, people in many countries acted against them because they put taxi companies and drivers out of business.‎ It's not just taxi companies that are losing business. Public transportation is one of the most helpful ways of moving lots of people around. And it's an important way of fighting air pollution. But as ride-hailing companies have taken off in large cities, the number of people riding on public transportation has gone down.‎ The ride-hailing companies say that their businesses will make it so that most people don't need to own cars at all. But their services seem to be putting even more cars on the streets. And all those cars affect traffic.‎ San Francisco studied how their traffic changed after Uber and Lyft arrived. They discovered that the numbers of cars on the roads had increased a lot, making the city' s traffic much worse.‎ Uber and Lyft recently ran their own study in six different US cities. Their results were the same —ride-hailing cars were indeed causing heavier traffic. And to make things worse, around 35% of the time, the ride-sharing cars weren't carrying any passengers.‎ So if Uber and Lyft are greatly increasing traffic in many cities, what should people do?‎ Some suggest ride-hailing companies introduce congestion pricing to big cities. But I think perhaps a better way would be to put some limits on the number of cars on the street, just as was done for taxis a century ago in many cities for the same reasons.‎ ‎8. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Why few people use public transportation.‎ B. How people usually get around.‎ C. The popularity of ride-hailing services.‎ D. The advantages of ride-hailing services.‎ ‎9. What did the study in San Francisco show?‎ A. Many passengers didn't want to share cars. ‎ B. Ride-hailing services were common in big cities.‎ C. Ride-hailing businesses were making traffic worse.‎ D. Many people didn't have their own cars.‎ ‎10.What is the author's suggestion?‎ A. To introduce congestion pricing.‎ B. To take a taxi whenever possible.‎ C. To allow fewer cars to run on the street.‎ D. To encourage passengers to share rides.‎ ‎11. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?‎ A. Ride-hailing companies become popular B. Uber and Lyft— cheaper, but is there a cost？‎ C. Uber and Lyft —bringing more harm than good D. Time to develop greener transportation!‎ D Years ago, my girls and I began walking the short distance to school whenever possible. My eldest daughter even said she liked to start and end her school day with a nice walk to get her brain going. The research backs her up on this.‎ According to a Danish study, kids who bike or walk to school have better concentration throughout the school day than those who drive or use public transportation. The study was part of “Mass Experiment 2012”, a project that evaluated the connection between concentration, diet and exercise. Researchers looked at nearly 20,000 kids between the ages of 5 and 19 and found that those who cycled or walked to school performed significantly better on school tasks demanding concentration, like solving puzzles than their classmates who were driven to school. What's more, the effects lasted for up to four hours after they took a seat at their desks.‎ A 2019 study also found that children who regularly walk or bike to school are less likely to be overweight than those who travel by car or public transportation. Researchers think it could be promising for combating childhood obesity (肥胖).‎ Still, study shows that in the US, just 13% of US students between age 5 and 14 usually walked or biked to school in 2009, according to Safe Routes to School, compared with 50% in 1969. In a 2016 report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers found that at most schools, 10% or fewer of students walked or biked on an average day.‎ Isn’t it ironic(讽刺的) that we as parents spend so much time, money and effort shuttling our kids to various extracurricular activities each day to give them exercise for their brains and bodies, when simply helping them walk or bike to school might offer an even greater benefit?‎ ‎12. What can we know about Mass Experiment 2012?‎ A.It proves concentration is beneficial to kids.‎ B. It shows walking can improve concentration.‎ C. It aims to connect diet, exercise and health. ‎ D. It is carried out among kids of all ages. ‎ ‎13. What does the underlined word"combating" in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Battling. B.Developing. C. Predicting. D. Discovering.‎ ‎14. Why were some statistics mentioned in paragraph 4?‎ A. To indicate the number of students is decreasing.‎ B. To describe the condition of American education.‎ C. To prove children become much lazier than before.‎ D. To show fewer kids go to school on foot or by bike.‎ ‎15. What is mainly talked about in the passage?‎ A. The ways to encourage kids to walk or cycle.‎ B. The wrong belief parents hold about kids.‎ C. The effects of walking or riding on kids.‎ D. The embarrassing situation kids are facing.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Organize a Music Festival You love music and you always have.
