We had little money

18、, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the differen

19、ce between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would

20、 have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldnt be playing. I was dreading (害怕) this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your play

21、ing days are limited. You cant afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“W

22、ell,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $

26、ney in the summer jobCWilliam Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered little of childhood but its pain. In fact, he inherited (继承)

27、excellent taste in art from his family both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1

28、890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama. Compared with his dramatic works, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time

29、and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition. He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he

30、continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeatss Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wr

35、ring differs from conventional （常规的） part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitmentJob sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of

36、 jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed peopleJob sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who wan

A year with

44、 a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.36.American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap ye

45、ar. This year, 2020, is such a year. In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.37. The reason

46、 for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earths orbit around the sun exactly.38. So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra day or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day. “Leap” is also an important word for two other common American

47、expressions.39. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, “Look before you leap.” The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to “take a leap of faith” means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation

48、 is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.40. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything

49、new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual.AOne is a kind of warning.BThats why we called it a Leap YearCIt just leaped right over Wednesday.DEach year, we have a little time left over.E.Yo

50、u have to wait three years in between birthdays!F.As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly.G.Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 No one is born a winner.
