17、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. "Mama, want to play?" "Not today, baby." I shook my head. These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. "Bird!" he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. "Look, Matthew," I said, pointing to the tree. "They're going to make a nest." The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree.
Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn't help but look forward to the doves' visits too.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened.
注意:(1) 续写词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:I knew I had to do something.
……

19、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
"It is an outstanding conclusion to a great Beethoven cycle. Frank Peter Zimmermann and Martin Helmchen finish their project in fine style," says Julian Haylock.
We are (current) experiencing one of the most exciting periods in recording. We have been especially lucky over the last decade or so, charming recordings of Beethoven's violin sonatas that make some older ones sound ordinary.
Frank Peter Zimmermann and Martin Helmchen are an outstanding team, latest release brings their three-disc survey to uplifting conclusion. The "little" No.8 is kept light-as-air, with some music jokes occasionally thrown off from magical hands. One of the trickiest movements in the cycle (be) the central Minuetto (小步舞曲), yet here it is kept flowing and dancing, gently (mix) with delicate precision.
These are the readings that also have their great arms firmly on the music. The (distinguish) players create a sense of anticipation in the introduction to Kreutzer Sonata's opening movement, which (play) completely with Zimmermann over the wonderful music pauses.
Finest of all is a reading of the Op.96 Sonata that allows listeners (dream) a little and feel the (composer) undervalued silence in all its charm.
