I had never picked up a camera before my freshman year in 2012, when my journey to an artist began. For four years, I 1 G-Star School of The Arts, where my 2 for photography and filmmaking were awaken.
Having seen my first short film, my teacher came over, saying: "You got a good 3 . Why not consider doing this as your profession. I think you've got a 4 in it". Then, it clicked. I, therefore, 5 my bank account and bought my first camera.
Since then, I was amazed by the 6 the world has to offer. I have to 7 , though: I, shy and chicken-hearted, tended to capture nature-related scenes, 8 anything to do with people.
As I was 9 my way, I started photographing myself, the only one I felt 10 with. The camera soon became my strongest 11 , serving as the tool for how I expressed myself. Gradually, I gained enough 12 to start taking photos of other people, greatly touched by how I was able to 13 the best in them through the lens (镜头).
Each year, I would look back on all of the shots I did that year and would 14 them to the first one I ever took in my career. Although the progress seemed substantial, I realized the key to growth as an artist is to never be 15 . This allows me to create progressively better work year after year.

2、 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。
Health, as the old saying goes, is over wealth, so it's of great significance to keep fit. You can take away our money, our house, or our clothes and we can survive. That is why I eat healthfully, exercise regularly, and keep up my social life.
Eating healthfully is important to maintain one's health. I try to avoid foods high in fat like French fries or cookies. I also try to limit the amount of animal protein I consume. So, it is important to know how to cook these foods so that the nutrients are not lost in the cooking process.
Our muscles must continue to be strong to support our body as we age. Exercise helps the bones build density and helps us maintain our posture. A regular exercise program of cardiovascular training and weight training is an important part of keeping us healthy.
Studies have shown that people with a wide range of social contacts get fewer colds and recover faster from diseases than those who aren't socially active. For the sake of health, I like to play and interact with my friends and I always feel better when I am with them than when I am alone.
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at an appropriate weight and can maintain my health. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.
A. It can also strengthen our muscles.
B. Take away our health and we will die.
C. Friends are an important part of one's health.
D. These are my three secrets to keeping a healthy lifestyle.
E. Besides, I always stay away from junk food which lacks nutrients.
F. By joining in relaxing activities, I can refresh myself to study well.
G. Instead, I eat lots of vegetables and fruit which are rich in fiber and vitamins.

3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
It was February 24, 2017, and my husband, David, and I were both at work. It was a day like any other. Our 15-year-old son, Justin, his sister and his friend Mike were playing with a ball in our backyard. Completely a common day!
What happened next was exactly a storm. Justin suddenly suffered cardiac arrest (心脏停搏) caused by a hit to the chest, and his heart just stopped. No pulse, no heartbeat. There are only about 10 to 20 cases a year. And it was almost always deadly until recently, when CPR (心肺复苏) has worked in up to one-third of cases.
Thankfully, the other children acted immediately instead of freezing in fear. Mike called 911 while my daughter called my husband. That second call proved vitally important, as my husband was able to get in touch with a neighbor who ran over and started CPR. And later, the doctors arrived and quickly shocked Justin's heartbeat rhythm (节奏) back to normal.
Since then, I've found myself changed as a parent. There is more worry now. This unexpected incident has made me realize that anything can happen to my children. So, we're doing what we can to be prepared. Earlier this year, Justin took part in a community education event with our fire department teaching Hands-Only CPR to the public. At least 100 participants showed up, and Justin shared his story to show why CPR is so important. At a local university where I work as a nurse lecturer, I've volunteered to join the CPR and AED first aid training for incoming freshmen.
David and I feel very fortunate to still have our son with us. If the kids hadn't known to call 911, he wouldn't be here. If our neighbor hadn't known CPR, Justin wouldn't be here. I think everyone should take the time to learn CPR. You could save a life — maybe the life of someone you love. Cardiac arrest often comes without warning. Everything will be normal right up until the point it isn't. You have to know what to do.
(1)、Why does the author say the incident was a storm?A、Her son played dangerous sports. B、Her son had a close encounter with death. C、Her children made a real mess when playing. D、Her neighbor complained of the children's noise.(2)、How did the author feel about the other children's responses?A、Curious. B、Grateful. C、Surprised. D、Puzzled.(3)、What did the author and Justin do after the incident?A、They worked as medical workers. B、They shared their stories on speaking tours. C、They trained others in first aid skills. D、They introduced first aid courses to schools.(4)、What does the last paragraph mainly highlight?A、The theory behind CPR. B、The ways of ensuring child safety. C、The causes of cardiac arrest. D、The importance of learning first aid. -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
With the ocean covering more than 70% of the Earth's surface, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said scientists and researchers had depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor which had charted only about 10% of the world's ocean. For the ocean and coastal waters in the US, the number is just around 35%.
We know less about our planet's ocean than what we know about the far side of the moon or the surface of Mars. Part of the reason for the lack of observation is the challenge of powering an underwater camera. Researchers have used ships to recharge cameras or observed with a camera tied to a ship to solve the issue, which is expensive and unsuitable for long-term observations.
Recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken a major step to iron out this problem by developing a battery-free, wireless underwater camera that could harvest energy underwater on its own for long periods.
To keep power consumption as low as possible, the researchers used off-the-shelf, ultra-low-power imaging sensors. The device takes color photos, even in dark underwater environments, and sends image data wirelessly through the water.
The camera is powered by sound. It changes mechanical energy from sound waves traveling through water into electrical energy that powers its imaging and communications equipment. After getting and encoding image data, the camera also uses sound waves to send the data to a receiver that reconstructs the image. Those sound waves could come from any source, like a passing ship or marine life. As it doesn't need a power source, the camera could run for weeks on end before getting it back, enabling scientists to search remote parts of the ocean for new species.
Now that researchers have demonstrated a working prototype (原型), they plan to enhance the device so it is practical in real-world settings. For future application, these cameras may be used to take images of ocean pollution and create more accurate models to monitor climate change to better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world, and advance various undersea scientific fields.
(1)、What do the data in paragraph 1 mainly show?A、Undersea exploration is poor in the US. B、Much of the planet's ocean remains unexplored. C、The mapping of the sea floor is time-consuming. D、Technology development matters a lot to sea observation.(2)、What limits the researchers' undersea exploration according to the text?A、The complexity of the sea environment. B、The concern about potential sea pollution. C、The shortage of investment in ocean exploration. D、The inability to effectively power underwater cameras.(3)、What does the underlined phrase "iron out" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Overcome. B、Face. C、Analyze. D、Illustrate.(4)、Which of the following can best describe the MIT underwater camera?A、Secure and stable. B、Expensive but effective. C、Impractical but advanced. D、Self-sufficient and energy-saving. -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Cordero is the farm manager at Ollin Farms, not far from Boulder, Colorado. The locally grown vegetables on the farm aren't just pretty. "We play an important role in public health nutrition programs," says Cordero's dad, Mark Guttridge, who started this farm with his wife, Kena, 17 years ago.
At a meeting with about a dozen local farmers, two state representatives, and the Colorado officials of agriculture, Guttridge explains how Boulder county has made creative investments in his farm that could be spread to the state or even national level. Before the meeting, Guttridge shows them one of those investments.
A dozen sheep, which Guttridge raises for wool, feed on root vegetables like radishes that have been leftover for them. "So these guys are out fertilizing the vegetable field," Guttridge laughs. "They'll be out here a couple more weeks, and then we'll get our next summer vegetables planted right there." Around the field is a special moveable type of fencing that Ollin Farms bought using financial aid from the Boulder County Sustainability Office. It allows them to move the sheep from one field to another, fertilizing as they go. The goal of these investments is "really building up our soil health," he explains. "That relates directly to the nutrient quality of the food-healthy soil grows healthy food."
The county also makes an effort to get that healthy food out to different communities to boost public health. That's where the Boulder County Public Health department comes in. It created a coupon program to give discounts to people buying fruits and vegetables from Ollin Farms. Nutrition incentive programs, like those public health fruit and vegetable coupons, are spreading all over the country, and most are funded through the federal farm bill. Amy Yaroch, executive director at the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, says "It's a trip le win. It's basically good for the consumers who live in that particular community because they're getting the healthy food, it's good for the farmer, and then it's good for the economy."
(1)、What does Ollin Farms do?A、It makes public nutrition health plans. B、It offers financial aid to other farms. C、It provides cheap food to the local community. D、It grows fruits and vegetables rich in nutrition.(2)、How does Boulder county support sustainable farming practices at Ollin Farms?A、By raising sheep on radishes. B、By buying fences for farmhouses. C、By funding the farm's soil health. D、By giving advice about fertilizing fields.(3)、What is Amy's attitude towards "nutrition incentive programs"?A、Cautious. B、Dismissive. C、Unclear. D、Approving.(4)、Which is the most suitable title for the text?A、Couponing for Health: Stimulating Nutrition Choices B、Growing Health: Innovations in Farm and Public Health Initiatives C、Fertile Fields and Furry Friends: A Farming Fairy Tale D、Local Produce, Global Impact: The Nutrition Choices of Ollin Farms -

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 was never a fast runner and thus I always didn't like running. Throughout my childhood, whenever we competed in the 50-meter run, the 400-meter, or any other type of race, I would always end up with the last one among all the athletes. Therefore, twenty years later, when I entered into my first official running race—a 3,000-meter challenge in my city—at age 38, I certainly didn't expect to win or earn any prize.
I learned about the race from my friend Jim. He told me that the race was aimed at raising money for the unfortunate patients in a hospital and encouraging the patients and their families to be brave. Since it was a heartwarming program, I showed up, paid the entrance fee and moved over to the starting line. Before long, someone spoke into a microphone. "Anyone weighing over 200 pounds comes down to the scale(秤), please. " Knowing I was over 200 pounds, I walked down to the scale: A man told me to stand on it. "Two hundred and three pounds," he said. Then he wrote down the race number and pinned(把……别在) it on my back. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he did so, and then I was told there would be an award ceremony(仪式) after the race. One award was for the first finisher in the over 200-pound group, and this special award would be announced at the end of the ceremony.
Then started the race. Not realizing there were only two runners weighing over 200 pounds, I gathered all my strength to run in my burning heat. Although other runners gradually passed me along the way, I kept moving forward as fast as I could and struggled to make it to the finish line. Despite the tiredness, I was satisfied, for I could try my best to help those in need by running. Shortly after the race, the award ceremony began and several awards were presented.
注意:所续写短文为一段;词数应为80左右,注意衔接。
Then came the last award, and to my surprise, my name was announced.

Tanghulu (also known as bingtang hulu) is a traditional Chinese snack consisting of hardened sugar coated fruits on a stick. (typical), tanghulu is made of hawthorns that are rich vitamin C. In recent times, tanghulu makers (add) variety to this traditional snack by using other fruits such as cherries, strawberries, pineapples or grapes.

Tanghulu is easier (make) at home than you might think. The trick is to use the correct water to sugar ratio (比例) and boil the sugar water mixture its temperature reaches 150℃. Then quickly dip your fruit skewer (扦) into the sugar mixture. This will result in fruit that's coated in a thin layer of hard candy that cracks when (bite) into.
Tanghulu is commonly eaten in the winter. You can find (travel) traders roaming (游荡) in the streets, selling this unique snack. If you want to try the sticky treat (you), you can find Tanghulu stands near most of the popular tourist attractions in China. Tanghulu isn't expensive, as a skewer costs only $1. So, what could possibly stop you from giving one try?
