    Section B
    Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
    Marti Sementelli has been a baseball player since preschool, throwing plastic balls and swinging a tiny wood bat from the time she was 3 years old. She was a solid player at every youth level, and sometimes a star. In 2007, Nike even featured the young Californian in a TV commercial.
    Despite her experience, Sementelli, now 16, had a hard time finding a high school that would allow her to try out for the boys’ baseball team.
    Two parochial schools (教会学校) near her family’s home in North Hollywood said no, and several public schools were lukewarm (冷淡的) to the idea. Finally, she found Burbank High School, where she’s now a sophomore and a member of the JV baseball team.
    Sementelli’s story is not unique. Across the country, girls devoted to baseball--and with as many seasons of youth ball under their belts as their male teammates--are finding it isn’t easy to stay in the sport when they reach high school.
    Biology does play a role in the situation: Boys, especially older ones, often have an edge over girls in size and strength, allowing them to throw harder and swing with greater force. But girls say that the toughest battles are not about capabilities, but against the traditional attitude that baseball is for boys.
    “Most people just are incapable of seeing beyond what’s easy,” says Jennifer Ring, the author of Stolen Bases: Why American Girls Don’t Play Baseball, and a professor at the University of Nevada-Reno. “It is much neater if we say boys play baseball and girls play other sports.”
    In at least one state, Massachusetts, girls are barred from trying out for boys’ baseball in high schools that also offer softball. Nebraska dropped its ban last year, and in January, Indiana removed its ban after being sued (控告) by the parents of Logan Young, a 15-year-old aspiring catcher and freshman at Bloomington South High School.
    81. When did Sementelli begin to play baseball? (no more than 6 words)
    82. Where did Sementelli stay in a baseball team? (no more than 6 words)
    83. What does the author think about girls’ capabilities in baseball? (no more than 10 words)
    84. In which states are girls allowed to play baseball? (no more than 4 words)

    81. When she was three.
    82. In Burbank high school.
    83. They are not as strong and powerful as boys.
    84. Nebraska and Indiana.

    I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.
    A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2007, I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
    I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.
    After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.
    By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.
    41. The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of “_______”.
    A. operation       B. unconsciousness     C. treatment          D. emergency
    42. According to Paragraph 3, it can be inferred that the author _______.
    A. was unable to talk or communicate        B. was in despair
    C. faced physical and mental challenges      D. felt anxious about his state
    43. What is the correct order of the following events?
    a. went to outpatient therapy
    b. received membership of the swim team
    c. was pushed around to visit other patients
    d. walked like a baby
    e. learnt to live all by himself
    A. d、a、c、b、e                       B. e、c、d、a、b
    C. d、c、a、b、e                       D. e、c、a、d、b
    44. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to show _______.
    A. his positive influence on other patients    B. his meaningful life
    C. his purpose of sharing his story          D. his great achievements
    45. The best title for the passage would be “_______”.
