黑龙江省大庆实验中学2020届高三5月第一次模拟英语试题含答案

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 different 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 the score is. That’s 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 certain 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. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t 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 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 accepted 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.

32. What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading? A. To compare skills of participants. B. To make the audience feel amused. C. To attract more people to watch events.

D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.

B. combine

C. identify

D. replace

Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend

Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be one of the most difficult things you do.

But we all make mistakes, so you’ll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize.

Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly. 36 . Whatever the reason is，apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.

37 . First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology，you take responsibility for your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you. Second, an apology shows your sincerity as a friend. 38 , but that doesn’ t mean you still shouldn’ t apologize.

Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 39 , depending on what the offense was, where it was done, and who you are apologizing to. In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their attention, an acknowledgment of what happened, sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words “I’m sorry” or “I apologize.”

Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility. Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don’t think you did. 40 , you should talk things through with your friends until you see why they are hurt or how you came across. You’ll really need to self-reflect so you can see things from your friend’s point of view.

A. When you make your apology in person B. If you really believe you did nothing wrong C. Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways D. The way you apologize is going to be slightly different E. Or maybe you just didn’t show support when you needed to F. Apologizing the right way, however, may take a little practice G. Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong

Next week, strangers with a truck will take away everything we own, except the clothes on our backs, the car we will drive, and as much stuff as we can pack into it．

It’s called 41 . Some people do it often. For others, like me, it’s a 42 experience. In all my adult years, I’ve moved only three times．

My first 43 and I moved into our first house with a bed, our clothes and a few gifts. That was many years ago. Over the years, I 44 that house with three children, a few dogs and enough stuff to 45 the ceiling.

Then the kids grew up, I lost my husband to cancer, and I began to learn about 46 .

First, I let go of the 47 of being in control. Life isn’t about being in charge of what 48 ; it’s about being in charge of what we do with it.

Next, I let go of 49 the things I care most about, like keeping in touch with the people that 50 the most to me.

I let go of the people whose 51 are about anger or hatred, and tried instead to 52 myself with those who shine with 53 .

Finally, I let go of being alone—I remarried. I 54 moved to a new city with my new husband, and after that move, I 55 I’d stop collecting meaningless things. But 12 years later, here I am, still learning about letting go.

We’ll all move someday from this 56 to the next, but we won’t need a truck to do it. We’ll take 57 with us and leave behind a(n) 58 of the life we lived, the mistakes we 59 , and all the love and kindness we tried to show.

That memory might not be a treasure, but if we’re 60 , someone will keep it and hold it close and never let it go.
