Jim was working at his fathers logging business in the small town ofMontesano,Washington.One Friday,his dad woke him at 4:30 am to work.Having finished themorning work,Jim crawled into the grapple(吊车)for an after-lunch nap.It was then that Jimsfather started the engines,not realizing that his son lay inside,asleep.“Oh my God!”Jims father cried out.“I broke his neck!”Immediately,Jims dad called for help on the C.B radio.A logging company helicopter heardthe call for help and picked Jim up,taking him to the hospital in Olympia,sixty-five miles away.Itwas truly a miracle!His fathers logging business was in the middle of nowhere,and helicoptershardly ever flew around there.After surgery,Jim was left paralyzed from the neck down.Nineweeks later,he was moved to an orthopedic(矫形的)hospital in Seattle where he became aninspiration to the nurses and other patients with his optimism and good sense of humor.One day a volunteer came by Jims room and asked if he would

try:If that girl could高三第二次月考英语试卷高三第二次月考英语试卷第第 3页页(共共 6 页页)（北京）股份有限do it,so could he!It was awkward and difficult at first.Jim practiced day after day,and gradually his drawingsturned from amateur sketches into beautiful scenes.Prior to the accident,Jim had never drawn.Today,Jim lets nothing stand in his way.He is able to support himself by holding art showsthroughout the country.How easy it is to justify giving up on our dreams with a ready excuse.“Itstoo difficult.”“Im not that smart.”“I dont have time.”Jim Ritter is living proof that no excuse isgood enough.24.What do we know about Jim on

pandemic,lockdown and work-from-home orders were put into force,meaningpeople were having to spend even more of their time online.Previously,more time online had been linked to an increased chance of a person participatingin cyberbullying.Studies have shown that stress and anxiety have increased during the pandemic,both of which can lead to increases in the number of interactions that involve cyberbullying.Yetthis phenomenon has actually decreased during the pandemic.The reason behind this could tell ushow to better deal with this problem once we finally emerge from the pandemic.One reason for the decline is that in-person interactions can fuel both online and in-personbullying.Bullying tends to start in free time,which doesnt exist in the same way in onlineschooling.This suggests that if we focus prevention efforts on free time,it is likely that we will beable to stop both traditional forms of bullying,as well as that of cyberbullying.Bullying rates arent fixed.When children feel nurtured and socially and emotionally safe,they bully less.During the pandemic,young people have been spending more time at home withtheir parents or carers.For some,this has probably provided feelings of safety a positive effectwell known to occur in time of disaster or crisis.Positive relationships can also help reduce bullying.While it is undoubtedly true that somefamilies have experienced interpersonal conflicts during the crisis,most households have beenreporting positive increases in their feelings of unity and bonding among their family members.Studies have shown that children reported more positive feelings when asked about having to spendmore time with their families.Keeping these positive relationships strong may also help preventbullying in the future.28.What led to more online time according to the passage?A.Measures against the pandemic.B.Development of technology.C.Addiction to the Internet.D.More participation in cyberbullying.29.What explains the decreased cyberbullying?A.Aclose watch on young people.B.A sense of safety found in study.C.Agood relationship with family.D.Abusy online schooling schedule.30.How does the passage develop?A.By analyzing causes.B.By giving examples.C.By making contrast.D.By describing the process.31.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To show cyberbullying is a constant problem.B.To compare traditional bullying and cyberbullying.C.To call on people to fight against cyberbullying.D.To explore possible solutions to cyberbullying.DIf you are hooked on watching fantasy or reading science fiction,you may be on tosomething.Contrary to the common misunderstanding that reading science fiction and fantasy isan unworthy practice,reading it may help young people cope,especially with the stress andanxiety of

strategies for life.And the critical thinking andwise habits of mind prompted by this type of literature may actually produce creativity thateveryday life and reality typically do not.32.Why is

is so appealing to the young readersB.How reading science fiction helps kids deal with realityC.What stories science fiction is bringing to the young peopleD.How science fiction turns into the

time like everyone else!“37I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to domonths and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended.I knew that thebook of my life wasnt done yet and that I had many pages left to go.Still,that didnt stop me fromtrying to write the ending half-way through.Time and again,I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every imaginable problembefore it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.38Godloves to surprise us,and you never know what new problem,change,or opportunity each new daywill bring.Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in thefuture again,something unexpected struck into my heart.39When I realized it Ismiled,turned the book of my life back to the right page,and thanked God for today.40Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time.Each of us has to havefaith in God to help us to write it line by line and moment by
