15、 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。
When Marco was a boy, he tried everything to get his father's love and attention. He worked hard to earn good marks; he tried to be obedient (顺从的), he chose inspiring friends and always tried to behave well.
Sensitive and shy, he was so timid (胆怯的) that he always wore turtleneck shirts. He hid behind his hair, which he wore long around his face and ears. To make it worse, Marco was naturally shorter than the other kids. And because his good marks had allowed him to skip second grade — he was younger than everyone else. This added nothing to his already low self-confidence.
When Marco was eight his parents divorced, and Marco was sent to a boarding school. Six years later, he and his young sister Sandra moved in with their dad and his new wife in S-Leonard, a French Canadian and Italian neighborhood on the east side of Montreal, It felt to Marco that his father had little time for him and Sandra. Except for his demands around chores (日常琐事) after school, communication was nonexistent. It seemed to Marco the only time his dad ever spoke to him was to be demanding. He began to fear to come home from school every day.
Marco sank further into his low self-confidence, feeling unappreciated, inadequate, depressed and confused.
One day, his aunt called him. To Marco, this seemed like a miracle. Aunt Ginette usually only called once a year, on his birthday. She said she had just seen some young teenagers participate in a public speaking contest called Gala Personnalite sponsored by Club Optimiste — and she thought about him. She thought he, should give it a try. She told him she firmly believed he could perform on stage like the other kids.
Marco was greatly surprised. Him? Onstage? In a public speaking contest? To agree would be contrary to his entire shy, timid personality. But Aunt Ginette was so confident. She seemed really serious. She was sure it was something he could do. She truly believed in him. And feeling her strong belief, Marco agreed to enter the contest.

19、 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As you get older, you'll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. If you haven't met many people from different backgrounds, it can be hard to know how to respect their culture. .
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people's cultures is to first consider your own. Most of us don't realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. Don't think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else's to be strange. .
Learn about a different culture
Maybe you've recently met someone from a different culture, or you're curious about how different people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
.
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: . Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A. Respect other cultures.
B. Appreciate the differences.
C. Ask questions if your friends are open to it.
D. In this way, you may find it hard to know your own culture.
E. Otherwise, it's hard to approach those differences with respect.
F. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
G. These will help you get an insider's view on a different culture.

20、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A NASA-led international mission launched a radar (雷达) satellite from southern California. The satellite will be involved in a major project to research the world's oceans, lakes and rivers.
The satellite is called SWOT, short for Surface Water and Ocean Topography. It is designed to give scientists a never-before-seen view of the Earth's water, which covers about 70 percent of the planet.
About the size of a car, the satellite uses advanced microwave radar technology to collect detailed height and surface measurements of all bodies of water. The data will provide researchers with more information on the effects of climate change.
Data will be taken from radar readings of the planet at least two times every 21 days. The information will help study ocean currents, predict the weather, and control freshwater supplies in areas with little rain.
One major goal of the mission is to research how oceans absorb atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide (CO2) — the natural process that slows down temperatures and climate change.
SWOT is designed to measure small differences in surface heights around smaller currents, where much of the oceans' reduction of heat and carbon is believed to happen. And SWOT can do so with 10 times more accurate (精确的) details than existing technologies.
The world's oceans are estimated (估计) to have absorbed more than 90 percent of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Studying how that happens will help climate scientists answer an important question: What is the turning point at which oceans start giving off, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere?
The satellite will also be used to study the effects of rising ocean levels. And it will be able to measure all rivers wider than 100 meters, as well as more than 1 million lakes and bodies of water larger than 6.25 hectares.
(1)、What will the data of the satellite help researchers do?A、Study the movement of fish. B、Increase freshwater supplies. C、Better learn about global warming. D、Count the number of sea creatures.(2)、What makes SWOT special compared with existing technologies?A、Its accuracy. B、Its size. C、Its speed. D、Its purpose.(3)、What might be a major concern according to paragraph 7?A、Ocean levels start to change. B、The sea starts to give off heat. C、Oceans will absorb extra heat. D、Greenhouse gas will increase.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A、Exploring Oceans' Effects On Climate B、Space Technology Used To Study The Earth C、Finding Out The Systems Of Water On The Earth D、Studying The Water Around The World From Space
