PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A
Directions Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Rest is critical to life and work and a positive attitude towards rest needs to be maintained, for enough rest is significant to our
body and mind while a lack of adequate rest, as well as misleading attitudes to rest, will do great ha rm to our health.
Rest is vital to our ability to function at our best. Recent news stories report that scientists are learning surprising things about the importance of sleep. There is enough evidence suggesting that
rest will refresh us, enabling our body and mind to work efficiently. Besides, rest is important for more than that; it is helpful in setting appropriate goals and deciding what goals to attain first. Those who are caught up in extremely busy lives lack the time to
think about what they are doing and to make objective decisions, which blocks the maximization of their potential.
On the contrary, lack of adequate rest damages brain function, so much so that sleep experts have been able to measure drops in IQ in patients who are short of sleep. Other studies have presented a negative effect on body movements in sleep-wanting subjects. It should not, therefore, be a surprise that the California Highway Patrol has stated that sleep-wanting drivers are as great a threat to road safety as are drunk drivers.
However, rest is widely misunderstood by some people. Instead of sleep, they go to pubs and clubs and claim that this kind of entertaining is rest. For example, what they call social drinking or having a smoke with friends. Nowadays, the economy forces people to drink and gamble for the sake of the circles one moves in. This is wha t fools claim thoughtlessly that it’s restful. The truth is that rest means not using our labor both physically and mentally, even spiritually.
We need to rest correctly and sufficiently; otherwise, tiredness and illness will occur. Without sufficient rest, good work is impossible. Rest is critical; it is not an end in itself.

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, no w 16, had a hard time finding a high school that would allow her to try out for the bo ys’ 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 i s 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 Sementel li 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 2014 words)
84. In which states are girls allowed to play baseball? (no more than 4 words)
SECTION C

注意：
1．适当展开想象，语意连贯，结构完整。
