At only 9 years old,Lesia Cartelli was badly burnt in a gas explosion at her grandparents' house.The burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn't recognize her.Lesia could have remained withdrawn for her whole life.But now,this woman uses her painful past to help other burn victims find healing(治愈)."My life got better when I started to look at my life as a gift,"Lesia said.
Lesia started Angel Faces,a national nonprofit organization offering week-long supportive retreats(休养所)for adolescent female burn victims.These retreats,for girls from 11-19 years of age,provide meetings to help the girls heal emotionally.
"She's like a ball of sunshine,"said Casi Smith,a 17-year-old with burns on her face she received as a baby."Looking at her,I can see everything she's been through.But here she is; instead of hiding,she's helping people.To me,that is amazing.I don't know if I could ever do that."
As a woman burned in a gas explosion,Lesia is able to connect with these young ladies on a personal level,as someone who knows what they're going through.Her heart for helping others motivates fellow burn victims to take control of their circumstances.
All of these women are miracles.They are blessed to have survived horrible accidents most of us can't even imagine.Yet,surviving the incident is just the beginning.Lesia describes the period following the actual event causing the burns as a "trauma cocoon".And that's where she steps in."I didn't want any other girl to go through what I had gone through,"she says."We offer a place where the girls can suffer less pain and begin to really heal."

14、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。
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small village. The village thrived in the heart of a big jungle. Surrounded by the mountain s and in the shade of green trees, the villagers happily lived a life of bliss. All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could read let alone write, and Hannah was one of them.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. She loved to explore and would spend hours in the woods looking for new things. She loved to create stories in her head and used to imagine herself as one of her characters.
One afternoon, when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The cottage looked very old in its condition. The door was barely hanging and the wood was chipping away. Even though Hannah's mother had strictly warned her not to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her.
She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of Hannah was a room full of books! Books glistering in the dust, basking in the warm sunlight just waiting to be explored. Hannah's excitement was visible on her face as she jumped up and down with glee!
She dusted the books, the shelves, and what was left of the furniture. Hannah broomed, swept, and dusted all day long until she realized that it was dark and she had to go back to her home. She met her friends on the way home who were curious by what Hannah was carrying. With excitement, Hannah shared everything with her friends. She was thinking that her friends will share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!
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。
Hannah was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books.
With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the people of her village.

Cloud storage is a flexible and convenient way to store data with complete peace of mind. This means you can store all your digital things remotely, without taking up space on your computer. There are two options available: public cloud storage allows you to share hosting space with other users; private cloud storage is the ideal choice for companies who want to have their data stored in their own environment.
Once you have registered and set up your account, you simply save your files via the internet using your user name and password. This ensures your data remains secure and inaccessible to anyone else. Should you choose, you can put certain permissions in place, which makes it easy to share your data with your colleagues or your family.
When you sign up to cloud storage, you can choose the amount of space you need. You can store anything digital: all your files, videos and pictures. Whether you want to use this storage solution to store your family photographs or you want to use it to store your work documentation, you will find it quite convenient.
Is it better than your computer or an external drive? The answer is a definite yes. Computers crash all the time. External hard drives can still break, or fail. Here you also have the added risk of misplacing it or having it stolen. There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices. .
A. Cloud storage is very simple to use.
B. You will find cloud storage very cheap.
C. It enables you to store your data on hosted servers.
D. It is the least thing people like to meet during work.
E. This is the most common cause of lost work and memories.
F. You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on.
G. The only disadvantage, however, is that you need internet to access files.

You might have seen Family Guy, American Dad on the television many times but have you ever wondered if it gets any crazier than this?

Seth isn't just the creator of Family Guy and American Dad. He produces these shows and also provides voice-over talent, and both of these shows have now become critical hits. Showing off his talents in these shows really paid off when he made the transition to the big screen. He then starred in movies like Ted (2012), Ted 2 (2015), and A Million Ways To Die In The West (2014). He is currently starring in the Hit Sci-Fi Comedy Show "The Orville".
In these past years, Seth MacFarlane has proved one thing—There is nothing in this world that he can't do. He is a modern-day Renaissance man. Seth has made his mark on Hollywood with his unique talents and humor.
Is there anything that Seth MacFarlane can't do? Here are some of the facts that you don't know about the veteran producer.

Later, he arrived at the airport 10 minutes late and missed his flight. After missing the plane he went to the passenger lounge to rest, upon waking up he witness the horrifying news about the massacre of 9/11. When both planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the airline announced which planes were involved in this horrid event. MacFarlane then realized that he was supposed to be in the second plane.

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。
The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth's surface, yet around 80% of the ocean remains unexplored. To put it simply, we know very little about most of the ocean. Seafloor mapping is the first step to uncovering the mysteries of the deep. Sea floor maps increase the scope, efficiency, and pace of deep-sea exploration, keeping scientists and boats from "flying blind."
A vital part of exploring the seafloor is mapping the density of the ocean crust. But probing the ocean's crust requires a significant wave source. The most common method for determining crustal structure is also controversial — firing seismic air guns from ships. While this method is effective, it is potentially harmful to marine life and not easy to use.
The song of the fi n whale is one of the loudest in the animal kingdom, and is detectable over great distances. Their low-frequency calls generate more than 185 decibels(分贝) underwater, on par with a large ship. Part of the energy of this powerful song transmits into the ground as a seismic wave. The wave travels through the oceanic crust where it reflects and refracts off layers in the crustal interface. Ocean-bottom seismometers(地震计) off the coast of Oregon picked up on the seismic waves of these fin whale calls. Researchers Kun a and John Nábelek, from Oregon State University, analyzed six whale songs. Using these signals, the team was able to map the thickness of sediment and rock on the ocean floor.
While fi n whale songs are never going to replace seismic air guns entirely, they do provide a free and natural alternative for scientists looking to explore the ocean floor. In the future, scientists think broader-frequency vocalizations, like those of sperm whales, may produce higher-resolution imaging.
The researchers write, "our study demonstrates that animal vocalizations are useful not only for studying the animals themselves but also for investigating the environment that they inhabit."
(1)、 What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A、Sea floor maps helps scientists and boats fly further in the air. B、Sea floor maps guides scientists and boats to sail with clear direction in the sea. C、Sea floor maps equips scientists and boats to sail with a fi rm destination in the ocean. D、Sea floor maps keeps scientist sand boats from flying blindly.(2)、 What can be inferred from the passage?A、Around 80% of the earth's surface remains unexplored. B、Fin whale songs are going to replace seismic air guns entirely. C、Our study benefits the animal's living environment. D、Their low-frequency calls of the fi n whale is louder than that of a large ship.(3)、 Which of the following best describes the most common method for determining crustal structure?A、Effective but controversial. B、Inefficient and costly. C、Harmful but fruitful. D、Ineffective and harmful.(4)、What is the purpose of the passage?A、To arouse the readers' awareness of wildlife protection. B、To share the latest development of the seafloor mapping. C、To inform us an alternative way to replace the original method of measuring the ocean floor. D、To emphasize the importance of whales to ecosystem.
