第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分)
A
There are top four places to visit in the Monterey Peninsula, California, where there are so many activities and beautiful lookout spots.
Pebble Beach
This scenic place offers many activities, hotels, and restaurants. At Pebble Beach, one can go fishing, swimming, diving, surfing, picnicking, boating, and on the nature trails there’s bicycling and hiking. It is a picture that is perfect with a white sand beach and beautiful view of the ocean.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Regarded as the number one aquarium, Monterey Bay Aquarium has all kinds of interesting fish to see. Not only do they have strange fish but also other sea creatures too. They have very creative ways of displaying the fish; sharks are kept in a large glass looking tank. Admission (入场费) for adults is S34.95, children (13-17) $31.95, and children under 12 is S21.95．
The Butterfly Sanctuary
Every year in October, the Monarch butterfly migrates to Monterey County to stay for the winter. This is actually called overwintering, and at this sanctuary (庇护所) these large numbers of butterflies gather together on the tree branches to keep warm. There are tens of thousands of them flying up and down; it’d be a sight worth seeing.
Andrew Molera State Park
Being the largest state park in the area, Andrew Molera State Park offers many activities and natural views. The Big Sur, made famous by John Steinbeck’s novel, is within this park and is very beautiful. The park also offers camping, surfing, and hiking.
If you ever had the chance to go to Monterey County, California these are some of the places you’d like to see. Check them out for yourself at their websites below and see if they’ll be added to your travel wish list!

Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA. It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.
The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives.
Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly.
The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week, and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up.
If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves.
Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.
Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.
41. The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________.
A. are used only in hospitals
B. are too complicated to operate
C. help people recover from illness
D. can detect disease as soon as possible
42. A melanoma monitor can benefit ________.
A. those dealing with stress B. potential cancer patients
C people suffering a wound D. people who’ve got toothache
43. The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “________”.
A. staying calm B. stopping sweating
C. keeping handsome D. expressing in words
44. It is difficult for scientists to ________.
A. persuade people to use the gadgets B. design inventions to prevent illness
C. collect enough money for their work D. make the gadgets affordable and handy
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Doctor in the House B. Hospitals in the Future
C. Tips for Brushing your Teeth D. The History of Medical Equipment
C
I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake — I had left a window open. I approached my house guest to entertain her by giving her some treats and scratches under her collar.
Just like many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be separate from outside at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit lifted my spirits for the day.
A few days later I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Over the next few weeks, Mika would drop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit cheered me up. Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.
While the lockdown has been awful, I doubt I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part.
While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend.
46. What do we know about the cat from the first paragraph
A. She entered by the window.
B. She used to go out at night.
C. She annoyed the neighbors badly.
D. She liked the author’s treats particularly.
47. How did the author probably feel at first during the lockdown
A. Moved. B. Cheerful. C. Lonely. D. Angry.
48. How did Mika help the author during the lockdown
A. By bringing food.
B. By serving as a social bridge.
C. By keeping the house clean.
D. By protecting him from dangers.
49. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The open window. B. The lockdown.
C. A need for connection. D. A stay with new neighbors.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The author lives an unusual life. B. The author longs for a peaceful society.
C. Keeping cats is boring. D. Befriending nice cats is worthwhile.
D
To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.
In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case
Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.
Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”
So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success
51. Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play
A. To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.
B. To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.
C. To challenge the conventional belief regarding adversity.
D. To show the long-standing recognition of adversity’s value.
52. What is conveyed through Mary Pickford’s story
A. Fame can block one’s achievements.
B. Strong determination overcomes adversity.
C. Accepting adversity results in positive outcomes.
D. Courage in the face of challenges leads to success.
53. What is the idea behind Krumboltz’s happenstance theory
A. Embracing uncertainty. B. Managing life’s challenges.
C. Seizing hidden opportunities. D. Focusing on personal growth.
54. What is the author’s attitude towards adversity
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Finding value and opportunity in facing adversity.
B. Stress as the primary cause of growth and innovation.
C. How to avoid adversity and negative experiences in life.
D. Historical figures who failed to overcome adversity effectively.

第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题。
Growing up in Arizona’s rodeo (竞技) country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, it’s children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.
It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my decision- making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.
My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didn’t like getting dirty; I didn’t even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.
My feet went into the narrow pen (羊圈) first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was balanced on the top of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward. I did as he said. I could feel the animal’s heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was.
Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge (复仇), and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me. “Stand up and show them you’re okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother.
Sadly, I didn’t win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for those little balls of wool, though.
56. Who is mutton busting intended for (no more than 5 words)
________________
57. Why did the author decide to take part in the competition (no more than 10 words)

58. What does this idea refer to (no more than 15 words)

Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. A toothbrush that checks blood sugar and bacteria while you brush is currently in development in the USA. It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.
The gadgets seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets. In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead healthier lives.
Intelligent bandages are a good example. Powerful sensors within the bandage could quickly identify tiny amounts of bacteria in a wound and determine what medicine would work best. The cut could then be treated instantly.
The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer. It could be used to take a picture of your body each week, and then compare it to previous images. If a problem is found, the system would advise you to get a check-up.
If all this sounds worrying, then help is at hand. Experts are also working on a “digital doctor”, complete with a comforting bedside manner. A standard computer would be able to understand your voice and answer questions about your symptoms in plain English and in a way which could calm your nerves.
Stress is no sweat either. A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.
Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.
41 The gadgets mentioned in Paragraph 1 ________.
A. are used only in hospitals
B. are too complicated to operate
C. help people recover from illness
D. can detect disease as soon as possible
42. A melanoma monitor can benefit ________.
A. those dealing with stress B. potential cancer patients
C. people suffering a wound D. people who’ve got toothache
43. The underlined part “keeping your cool” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by “________”.
A. staying calm B. stopping sweating
C. keeping handsome D. expressing in words
44. It is difficult for scientists to ________.
A. persuade people to use the gadgets B. design inventions to prevent illness
C. collect enough money for their work D. make the gadgets affordable and handy
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Doctor in the House B. Hospitals in the Future
C. Tips for Brushing your Teeth D. The History of Medical Equipment
【答案】41. D 42. B 43. A 44. D 45. A

【41题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal.”（这些小器械应该能让人们在疾病发作之前很早就发现疾病，从而比正常人更早地寻求治疗），可知小器械能帮助人尽快发现疾病。故选D项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“The biggest development is melanoma（黑色素瘤） monitor designed to give early warnings of cancer.”（最大的进展是黑色素瘤监测仪，用于对癌症进行早期预警），可知黑色素瘤监测仪可以对癌症进行早期预警，说明黑色素瘤监测仪对潜在的癌症患者有好处。故选B项。
【43题详解】
词句猜测题。由第六段中的“A portable communication aid could recognize certain phrases and tones and let you know when you are about to lose your temper. The software would also suggest ways of keeping your cool.”（一个便携式通讯工具可以识别某些短语和音调，并让你知道什么时候你要发脾气。该软件还建议了keeping your cool的方法），可知这个便携式通讯工具会让你知道什么时候你要发脾气，它还对快要发脾气的人提出了建议，因为本文讲的是与保持健康相关的小器械，可知此处提的建议应该是让人不要生气，即保持冷静的方法，keeping your cool在此处意为“staying calm（保持冷静）”。故选A项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段“Researchers are still struggling, however, with making the technology cheap and simple enough for the household user. That is going to be the difficult part.”（然而，研究人员仍在努力使这项技术对家庭用户来说足够便宜和简单。那将是困难的部分），可知科学家很难做到让这些小玩意儿既便宜又方便。故选D项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“It is one of many gadgets（小器械） proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York.”（美国目前正在研制一种能在刷牙时检查血糖和细菌的牙刷，它是纽约未来健康中心的工程师和医生们提出的许多小器械之一），第二段中的“Instead of relying on hi-tech hospitals, the emphasis（重点） is shifted to the home and easy-to-use gadgets.”（而不是依靠高科技医院，重点转移到家庭和易于使用的小器械）和下文讲的“智能绷带、黑色素瘤监测仪、“数字医生”电脑以及便携式通讯工具” 等这些家庭医用的小器械，可知文章介绍了多项家庭医用的小器械，包括刷牙时检查血糖和细菌的牙刷、智能绷带、黑色素瘤监测仪、“数字医生”电脑以及便携式通讯工具等，这些家庭医用的小器械就好比“家里的医生”，将使人们的身体以及日常生活保持健康，A项“家里的医生”符合文意。故选A项。
C
I was scared when a loud noise in my apartment woke me in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and discovered it was a cat. Here’s the thing — I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake — I had left a window open. I approached my house guest to entertain her by giving her some treats and scratches under her collar.
Just like many others, I shifted from working in an office to working from home. Living alone can be separate from outside at the best of times. It was around the one-month mark of the lockdown when I heard a meow outside my window. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-colored cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat jumped into my home. Her short visit lifted my spirits for the day.
A few days later, I heard a familiar meow. I saw a name tag on her collar: Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Over the next few weeks, Mika would drop by occasionally. Sometimes, she only stayed for a few minutes; other times, she would wander around my apartment much longer. Each visit cheered me up. Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.
While the lockdown has been awful, I doubt I might not have ever met Mika if it had not happened. But perhaps she came by at this time because she sensed a need for connection on my part.
While dogs are said to be man’s best friend, a good cat can be everyone’s best friend.
46. What do we know about the cat from the first paragraph
A. She entered by the window.
B. She used to go out at night.
C. She annoyed the neighbors badly.
D. She liked the author’s treats particularly.
47 How did the author probably feel at first during the lockdown
A. Moved. B. Cheerful. C. Lonely. D. Angry.
48. How did Mika help the author during the lockdown
A. By bringing food.
B. By serving as a social bridge.
C. By keeping the house clean.
D. By protecting him from dangers.
49. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. The open window. B. The lockdown.
C. A need for connection. D. A stay with new neighbors.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The author lives an unusual life. B. The author longs for a peaceful society.
C. Keeping cats is boring. D. Befriending nice cats is worthwhile.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了封锁期间，一只名叫米卡的猫咪经常探访作者家，缓解了作者的孤独，充当了作者的社交桥梁，帮助与新邻居建立联系的故事
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第四五句“And this was not the first time this particular cat had demanded my attention. I immediately calmed down and realized my mistake — I had left a window open.(这已经不是这只猫第一次引起我的注意了。我立刻冷静下来，意识到我的错误——我忘了关一扇窗户)”可知，猫是从窗户进来的。故选A项。

【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Mika even served as my social bridge, helping me connect with some new neighbors, who, as it turns out, had also received visits from her.(米卡甚至充当了我的社交桥梁，帮助我与一些新邻居建立联系，后来发现，这些邻居也曾被米卡拜访过)”可知，米卡充当了作者的社会桥梁，帮助作者与一些新邻居建立联系。故选B项。

【50题详解】

To put it simply, stress can be the father of growth, while a crisis can be the mother of innovation. The notion that great good can emerge from great adversity (逆境) is as old as the legend of the great phoenix (凤凰), who not only arises but soars to new heights from its own ashes.
In 1598, William Shakespeare penned the play As You Like It. One of the most famous lines from that play is spoken in Act 2 Scene 1 by Duke Senior, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which, like the toad (癞蛤蟆), ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head.” Even 500 years ago, the potential value of adversity was recognized, not by a great healer, but by a great playwright. Can this really be the case
Fast-forward to the great silent film star Mary Pickford. She was called the most popular actress in the world in the 1910s and 1920s. Failing to continue acting with the advent of the “talkies”(movies with recorded sound), she co-founded the film company United Artists. Shifting her talents to producing and directing, she became the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. She once noted, “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.”
Rather than fear and try to avoid adversity, perhaps we should accept the inevitability (必然) of adversity and prepare for it. Indeed, positive things can emerge from adversity.
Adversity reveals true opportunities for those preparing to take advantage. Dr. John Krumboltz’s happenstance theory states that career and life development is best fostered by preparing for opportunities that you may not know even exist in the current moment. Numerous unpredictable factors are potentially shaping the future. These include the crises adversity brings.
In Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Behold the Man, the German philosopher writes that a person who has “turned out well” could be recognized by the ability to take advantage of and prosper from adversity, just as he wrote before, “What does not kill him makes him stronger.”
So, the next time adversity enters your life, will you run from it, or will you embrace it and use it as a step ping stone to greater happiness and success
51. Why does the author quote the line from Shakespeare’s play
A. To emphasize the great wisdom of Shakespeare.
B. To highlight the beauty of Shakespeare’s language.

(该剧最著名的台词之一是老公爵在第二幕第1场中说的，‘甜蜜是对逆境的利用，就像 癞蛤蟆一样，又丑又毒，头上还戴着一颗珍贵的宝石。’即使在500年前，逆境的潜在价值也得到了认可，不是由一位伟大的治疗师，而是由一位了不起的剧作家写就。)”可知，作者引用莎士比亚戏剧中的一句话，以表明人们长期以来对逆境价值的认识。故选D项。

阅读下列短文，按照要求用英文回答问题。
Growing up in Arizona’s rodeo (竞技) country, I was familiar with the events that come with traveling rodeos: bull riding, dressing and mutton busting. Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, it’s children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.
It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep. Being seven years old, my decision- making ability was pretty limited. I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid. Little did I know that I was in for a world of pain and embarrassment.
My nerves were shaking the day of the rodeo. I hated being in front of crowds. I didn’t like getting dirty; I didn’t even like sheep, which I thought of as just dirty and smelly. Yet there I was, getting ready to ride one for eight seconds in front of hundreds of people. I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over. But by the time this idea occurred to me, it was too late. I was lifted away from my mother by a rodeo trainer and placed onto a platform.
My feet went into the narrow pen (羊圈) first. I felt my shoes touch the dirty floor of the pen. Once I was balanced on the top of the sheep, the trainer let go and told me to lean forward. I did as he said. I could feel the animal’s heart beating faster than mine. I realized that the poor sheep was even more frightened than I was.
Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge (复仇), and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me. “Stand up and show them you’re okay,” she told me as she wiped the dirty tears from my face. I stood up, dirty and upset, waved my little hand, and walked out with my mother.
Sadly, I didn’t win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for those little balls of wool, though.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者参加骑羊比赛的一次经历。虽然作者比赛失败了，但却有所收获。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Mutton busting is like bull riding, but instead of bulls, they use sheep. And in place of the men, it’s children between six and ten years old who try to hang on for eight seconds.(骑羊就像骑公牛，但他们用绵羊代替公牛。取而代之的是六到十岁的孩子他们试图坚持八秒钟。)”可知，骑羊比赛（mutton busting）主要为六到十岁的孩子准备的，故答案为It’s for 6-to-10-year-old children. OR: Children aged 6 to 10.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“It took me all of five minutes to say yes to the idea of riding a sheep...I figured I could ride a sheep as well as the next kid.(我花了五分钟才同意骑羊。我想我可以像其他孩子一样骑羊。)”可知，作者同意参加这个比赛，是因为他认为自己会像其他孩子一样骑羊，即认为自己会表现得好，故答案为Because he thought he could do well. OR: Because he thought he could do as well as other kids.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线单词上文“I wanted to run out of the field and hide in the hot car until it was over.(我想跑出战场，躲在车里，直到一切结束。)”可推知，“this idea(这个主意)”指的是作者想要跑出战场，躲在车里，直到比赛结束，即他想要放弃/退出比赛。故答案为The author wanted to run away and hide himself until the competition was over. OR: The author wanted to give up taking part in the competition. OR: The author wanted to drop out of the competition.
【59题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第五段中“Then the gate opened, and I quickly discovered that my hold was too weak. Within three seconds I had fallen off the sheep, and found myself face-down on the sun-baked earth. The sheep thought this was its time to take revenge (复仇), and attacked me from behind. There I lay, hat down, covered in dirt, with tears streaming down my face. I looked behind me to see my mother running to comfort me.(然后大门打开了，我很快发现我的支撑力太弱了。不到三秒钟，我就从羊身上摔了下来，发现自己脸朝下躺在被太阳烤焦的土地上。羊认为这是它报复我的时候到了，于是从背后袭击我。我躺在那里，帽子脱落，浑身是泥，泪水顺着脸颊流下来。我回头看见妈妈跑过来安慰我。)”可知，第五段主要讲述了作者在骑羊比赛中的表现，即作者是如何在骑羊中失败的，故答案为It talks about the author’s performance in the sheep riding. OR: How the author failed in the sheep riding.
【60题详解】
开放题，言之有理即可。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Sadly, I didn’t win anything, not even the respect of these rodeo animals. I did find a new admiration for those little balls of wool, though.(可悲的是，我什么也没赢，甚至没有得到这些竞技动物的尊重。不过我倒是对那些小毛球有了新的敬佩之情。)”可知，作者参加骑羊比赛虽然失败了，但是作者却有所收获，由此可以得出的一个答案是：赢得比赛不是很重要，因为参加比赛的过程更重要，故答案为No. Because the process of the competition is more important.
