Dragon boating is a team sport that has its root in ancient China. The boats are decorated with a dragon head and tail. In recent years cancer survivor groups have got involved in the sport to help make friends and help rebuild their lives.
On a recent Saturday morning, a group of 20 women were on a boat in the Anacostia River in Washington DC. They moved their paddles(船桨)in rhythm to the call of a coach. The women belong to the dragon boat team GoPink! DC, which trains weekly. It also races against other breast cancer survivor teams in dragon boat festivals. As a result, GoPink! DC won medals in this Washington dragon boat festival.
Lydia Collins joined five years ago after finding out she had breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I was demoralized because of my illness - I lost all interest in life and wouldn't even get out of bed to eat. But now I love the team spirit. I just love everything about it. It is like a floating support group on the water.”
The paddles are breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Annette Rothemel helped establish(建立)the group in 2006. She is a researcher with the National Institutes of Health as well as a breast cancer survivor. “It is sort of an easy entry sport because on the same boat people at different levels can be doing the same sport.” But Ms Rothemel saysdragon boating can be physically demanding, especially for someone who is sick and getting treatment for cancer.
“It’s hard but I think you have to challenge yourself in life. This is something I look forward to. I get to be out here with my sisters and supporters that understand what I’m going through and help motivate me. So it makes me stronger and it makes me feel better,” another cancer survivor Rhonda Hartzel said.
Annette Rothemel says the cancer survivors feel a sense of sisterhood and share good times when they paddle together. She says both feelings are treasured by the team.

【56题详解】
考查连词。

句意：如果不是你帮助我们，我们不可能成功。

Unless为连词，引导条件状语从句，or是并列连词，不能引导主句，故将or删除。

【57题详解】
考查状语从句的省。

句意：当过马路的时候四周看看。

句中when引导的时间状语从句，从句中省略了主语和be动词，cross此处表示主动，故将crosses改为crossing。

【58题详解】
考查主谓一致。

句意：他五分之三的收入都花在了食物和衣服上。

分数后面的名词为pay，是不可数名词，所以谓语动词用单数形式，故将were改为was。

【59题详解】
考查代词。

句意：她的头发比你的长。

宾语yours与主语指代同一事物，即your hair，故将you改为yours。

【60题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：他宁愿呆在家里也不愿跟你出去。

would rather do than do，为固定搭配，意为“宁愿做……而不愿……”，故将to删除。

【61题详解】
考查连词。

句意：小心，否则你会掉进河里。

分析句子可知，前后两句是转折关系，故将and改为or。

【62题详解】
考查连词。

句意：虽然我知道为了成为一个博学的人，我必须学习相当多的科目，但有两个科目是我特别重视的。

Although和but不能同时使用，故将but/although删除。

【63题详解】
考查主谓一致。

句意：河上有两家工厂。

There be句型中谓语动词的单复数取决于真正的主语，即two factories，故将stands改为stand。

【64题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：这是我们上次参观的房子。

分析句子可知，此句为定语从句，先行词house在从句中作宾语，因而要使用关系代词that/which，故将where改成which/that。

【65题详解】
考查形容词。

句意：不要再工作了，你看上去很累。

主语为人，表语为ed结尾的形容词,意为“感到疲惫的”，故将tiring改为tired
52.略。
