They take part in all kinds of sports in order to^① become stronger.They join in the sports that interest them most^②， such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. Girls also like sports. Some of them want to lose weight, to be slim and pretty by doing sports.

In my opinion, no matter what^③ reasons we have, we all can get a lot from sports.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位很有耐心，而又别具匠心的妈妈，教育孩子的故事，用沙漏和时钟作比，教育孩子做事情要有耐心、循序渐进，只要你用心去做，慢慢就会水到渠成的。

16. B　点拨：考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：他妈妈非常和蔼和______。根据下文“When it was proper to answer his questions，she would do so. ”只要能够回答他的问题，她都会回答的，可知妈妈是和蔼且有耐心的，而不是strict严格的，nervous担忧的，polite有礼貌的。排除选项A，C和D。故选B。

17. C　点拨：考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：当弗兰克第一次见到沙漏时，他是非常______，但是他不知道它是什么。pleased高兴的；relaxed轻松的；interested感兴趣的；bored厌倦的。因为是第一次见到，且后面的“他不知道它是什么”，所以最可能的是interested感兴趣的，排除选项A，B和D。故选C。

18. A　点拨：根据前面的内容可知，是他妈妈。故选A。

19. A　点拨：考查动词短语辨析。句意为：沙子在它的一端被加入，然后______一个中间的小孔。run through穿过；run along沿着……跑；go over复习；go across穿过。根据句意可知要用“穿过”，run through是从中间穿过，go across是从表面穿过，故用run through。故选A。

20. D　点拨：考查介词词义辨析。句意为：被放进沙漏的沙子要______一小时才能穿过。before在……之前；of……的；on在……上；in在……之后。“in ＋一段时间”表达将来，选项D符合题意。

21. A　点拨：考查动词词义辨析。句意为：他说：“让我来______它，妈妈。”shake摇动；get得到；take拿走；carry运送。联系下文“它太懒惰了，将穿不过去”，推测是“摇动”。故选A。

22. D　点拨：考查副词词义辨析。句意为：沙子______移动，但是它一直在移动。carefully仔细地；quickly快速地；heavily大量地；slowly慢慢地。根据句意可知选D。

23. D　点拨：考查连词词义辨析。句意为：你在玩耍______，沙子正在一粒一粒地流动……Since自从、由于；Unless除非；Before在……之前；While当……时。前后都是进行时态，可知用While。故选D。

24. C　点拨：根据文章前句“When you look at the clock，you will find the same. ”当你看着时钟时，你会发现是一样的，可知这里说的是闹钟的“手”，即指针一秒一秒地走，和沙漏一粒一粒地漏一样，故选C。

25. C　点拨：根据上句的“At night，the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. ”可推断此处表示钟表的时针走了整整一圈，故选C。

26. D　点拨：句意为：这是因为它们每一______都不停地工作。这里是指“每一分钟都不停地工作”，即every minute。排除选项A，B和C。故选D。

27. B　点拨：句意为：它们不会停下来想不得不做多少，和做那事要花费它们______。how far多远；how long多长时间；how much多少；how soon多久。根据句意可知需要“多久，多长时间”，但是how soon是“从现在往后再过多久”，这里是指花费“多长时间”，故用how long。故选B。

28. B　点拨：句意为：现在，弗兰克的妈妈想让他学习一首诗，但是他却说：“妈妈，我______。”由连词but可知，前后意思转折，因此需要否定形式。故选B。

29. B　点拨：考查副词词义辨析。句意为：他的妈妈说：“一直学习，______关心它会花费的时间……”Often经常；Never从不；Always总是；Sometimes有时。用never否定。故选B。

30. C　点拨：考查名词词义辨析。句意为：弗兰克遵循了妈妈的______。rule规则；diet日常饮食；advice建议；decision决定。联系上下文，可知是遵循了妈妈的建议，才慢慢学会了那首诗，故选C。
