2．When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March，16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still，the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South，and it pains me to see one of them being wasted，" Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives，but for students，the disruption feels particularly acute.Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled.Summer plans，like camps and internships （實習），are up in the air.
But right now，many students are trying to stay connected，struggling with misinformation，and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki，17，a senior student at the Ship-ley School in Philadelphia，the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge （承諾）" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention，" he said. "They were still going out，hanging out with people.1 thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks，who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge.The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way，so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant，they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this seriously，but our map shows that you're not alone，" he said.
（1）What does the underlined word "jarring" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．natural
B．disturbing
C．necessary
D．reasonable
（2）Why does the author describe Andrew Chen's experience in the text？
A．To show how the coronavirus affected students' lives.
B．To explain what worried students most when schools closed.
C．To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.
D．To present the different views of students toward the coronavirus.
（3）Who does Harycki mainly want to reach out to？
A．Friends who are worried and bored.
B．Folks taking the coronavirus seriously.
C．Younger generations trying to contribute.
D．Young people who are not aware of the situation.
（4）What's Harycki's purpose in creating the "social distancing pledge"？
A．To convince young people to stay at home.
B．To track those people infected with the coronavirus.
C．To inform young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.
D．To show young people they shouldn't be concerned about the coronavirus.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．Once a circle missed a wedge（楔子）.The circle wanted to be whole，so it went around looking for its missing piece.But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly，it admired the flowers along the way.It chatted with worms.It enjoyed the sunshine.Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly.It was so happy.Now that it was a perfect circle，it could roll very fast，too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms.When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly，it stopped，left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something.The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man.He will never know what it feels like to hope and to nourish（滋潤）his soul with the dream of something better.He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had.
There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations，who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so.There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive一he or she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is more like a baseball season，when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance.Our goal is to win more games than we lose.When we accept that imperfection is part of being human，and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it，we will have achieved wholeness that others can only long for.
（1）Which may be an example of being whole？
A．A person has everything.
B．A person accepts his or her limitations.
C．A person loves someone and is also loved.
D．A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.
（2）How is a baseball season similar to life？
A．Easy come，easy go.
B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．Energy and persistence conquer all things.
D．Some battles you win and some battles you lose.
（3）How does the author clarify his idea？
A．Mainly by arguing.
B．Mainly by informing.
C．Mainly by comparing.
D．Mainly by reasoning.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A．No pains，no gains
B．Be whole in our life
C．Pursue perfection in life
D．Life without mistakes is whole組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Before our wedding，my fiance（未婚夫） and I were very excited about shopping for our first house.So，we took a look at several houses，yet as our funds were limited，none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.
One agent recommended a house in particular.Although her description of the house sounded very wonderful，the price was beyond our range，so we declined.However，she kept urging us to have a look at least.
We finally agreed and went to take a look.It was lovely at first sight.It was small but charming，overlooking a quiet beautiful lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners，a kind and hospitable elderly couple，we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that house.It was exactly the house we wanted!Perfect as it was，the price remained much too high for us.But every day，we could sit by the lake，looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.
Days later，we made an offer，which was far below the asking price.As the price was so low，we were afraid that they would laugh it off.Surprisingly，they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could actually afford，but far less than the original asking price.
The next day，we got a disappointing message that another buyer offered a much higher price.Even so，we made up our minds to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer，which was still thousands of dollars less than the other buyer 's bid.We knew it，yet we decided to have a try.Nobody knew if we could get it.
