3、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。
One day, Emma's mother brought Emma to her favorite steak house (牛排餐厅). She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother's car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn't help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, "Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!"
"Okay! Mom," she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
"Emma! Don't head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!" Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. "Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?"
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, "Isn't it your favorite steak, sweetheart?" "It is, mom," Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
"No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. "I can only eat it once a month, right?" "Yes, we made a promise about this," said the mother.
"Can I just give it to him?" Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car.
"Of course, you can," her mother agreed.

5、 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。
My relationship with needles was not very close. I only recently overcame my fear of getting my blood drawn. So when I (offer) the opportunity to try acupuncture (针灸) for the first time for my anxiety and (tense), I was uneasy.
Anyway, I tried out New York's newly opened acupuncture studio, WTHN. The place is beautiful, simple but modern. My acupuncturist first inquired I was looking to achieve by completing this session. Then I settled facedown onto the heated table and comfortably lay there the guidance of the acupuncturist. She inserted (插入) hair – thin needles into my ankles and slowly worked her way up, (hit) certain points throughout my body, until she arrived at my head. With each needle, I felt a bit of pressure, but no pain. After all needles were inserted, she explained that I was going to lie in position for the next 20 – 25 minutes to let (they) work magic.
The idea of needles being placed into certain parts of your body sounded like a horror film when (describe) out loud for me; however, after trying acupuncture, I could tell you that it was (complete) different. This approach allowed me to calm down totally step away from the things that were causing me stress to focus on my health.

I live about three miles from the sea in San Luis Obispo, California. Every few years, the humpback whales come close to the 1 for a few days. November, 2020 was one of those times. At the time, my friend Liz Cottriel was 2 with me. So I asked her if she wanted to see them.
"No way!" said Liz. "I'm sure our boat will overturn if we are 3 by hungry whales."
"There's nothing to worry about," I said. "It is very safe if we are following them 4 . I don't want you to miss this wonderful experience and 5 it later."
She finally 6 and we got out on the sea. There were already about 15 whale watchers there. After half an hour, we 7 two whales about 200 feet away.
Having taken a deep breath, the two whales 8 down. I figured we'd be 9 if we went a little bit closer toward that spot. I later found out that whale watchers are 10 to stay 300 feet away.
11 , a lot of small fish started jumping out of the water into our boat. What should have been a fun moment was actually 12 . Their actions meant they were 13 the whales, which meant that we needed to get out of there too. But before we could turn around, our boat was 14 out of the water about six feet. Liz and I fell into the sea. Fortunately, the whales left us alone and other whale watchers immediately came to our 15 and brought us to the beach.

7、 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。
Sometimes, it's good to be bored
"I am dying of boredom," complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov's 1897 play UncleVanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom.
That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.
"An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state," says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. "" Parents will tell you that kids with "nothing to do" will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.
The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don't struggle to overcome these slow moments. "" Mann says. "This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking." So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can't be distracted by her phone.
The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can't be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.
A.And there is, of course, bad boredom.
B.Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.
C.But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?
D.These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.
E.Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.
F.We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.
G.When not satisfied with your state, you're seeking and engaged.

Maths is all around us, from working out how to share the bill after a meal to calculating (计算) your household bills. Some people love the challenge of working out maths problems, but many fear the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures and feel a real sense of worry. It can seem discouraging, but this ‘maths anxiety' is perfectly normal, and you're definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don't necessarily reflect our ability.
The problem really starts in childhood, at school. Research has found that maths teachers who are nervous about teaching the subject can pass on their anxiety to the pupils, and girls may be more likely to be affected. The Programme for International Student Assessment found around 31% of 15 and 16-year-olds across 34 countries said they got very nervous doing maths problems, 33% said they got tense and nervous doing maths homework, and nearly 60% said they worried maths classes would be difficult. Shulamit Kahn, from Boston University's Questrom School of Business, told the BBC she believes giving students, particularly girls, good role models "is significant, especially at a young age". She thinks the key is to get people, especially women who love teaching maths, to teach younger children.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says "It's not clear why maths gives rise to so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there's a right or wrong answer might make you more worried about underperforming." And once we assume we're not a ‘maths person', we avoid solving things that we probably could do.
Psychologists (心理学家) have been trying to work out why mental calculation can bring us out in a sweat. That fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears clearly can loosen their hold on you, and encourage children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat (威胁). We need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance.
(1)、Regarding "maths anxiety" in paragraph 1, the author thinks ____.A、it is unique B、it is formal C、it is common D、it is necessary(2)、What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A、Girls are better at maths than boys. B、Maths classes are difficult for all students. C、Students' anxiety results entirely from teachers. D、Confidence in maths needs developing in childhood.(3)、What will be a potential result if one thinks he is not a ‘maths person'?A、He will rise to challenges. B、He will learn maths harder. C、He will be doubtful about his ability. D、He will not see maths as a threat.(4)、What are children advised to do according to the last paragraph?A、Track sources of maths fear regularly. B、Speak fears out for improvement bravely. C、Explore causes of failure in maths carefully. D、Quit challenges to avoid anxiety actively. -

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake locked up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner", if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
"You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Bebringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonies, "Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."
The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen, she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie, it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
(1)、Why did the watchers doubt if any of the vehicles could finish the race?A、They did not have any human guidance. B、The road was not familiar to the drivers. C、The distance was too long for the vehicles. D、The prize money was unattractive to the drivers.(2)、What was the purpose of the race organized by DARPA?A、To raise money for producing more robotic vehicles. B、To push the development of vehicle industry. C、To train more people to drive in the desert. D、To improve the vehicles for future wars.(3)、In the race, what was the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered?A、Almost two miles. B、Six miles. C、About eight miles. D、About one mile.(4)、What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?A、A robotic vehicle can finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties. B、A little child who has just learned to walk can't reach the cookie on the table. C、A robotic vehicle can't deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve. D、A little child can understand the importance of wiping apple juice off her face. -

David loved his grandson Philip dearly. The boy reminded him of himself at an early age. They had a lot of fun together, exploring the backyard and hiking in the nearby park. However, one weekend, Philip felt ill and had to stay in bed. David made sure to keep his grandson entertained by finding a book they could enjoy together.
Before handing it to Philip, he decided to leaf through it and look back at the story. However, while looking through it, he didn't expect to see another piece of his youth, this time in the form of a photograph of him and his old friends. There were four in the picture — David, Steve, Dorothy, and Teresa. They were neighbors and often went to the beach together. In the photo, the four of them were playing on the sand.
Suddenly, David wondered about the people in the photograph, curious to know where life had taken them.
Philip noticed that and asked "What happened, Grandpa?" David smiled, excitedly taking the book and the photo to Philip. "Look, Philip. This is an old photo of my friends and me!" he said. "I wish I could meet them again." Philip suggested looking for them on Facebook. Through Philip's tablet, they searched for David's friends. To Philip's surprise, they weren't on the social media platform.
David decided to go to his hometown to find Steve, Dorothy, and Teresa. The town had changed a lot and he found that Dorothy's and Steve's houses were no longer there. Still hopeful, David decided to visit the last address, which was Teresa's. A young girl opened the door. "I'm sorry, young lady. I was just looking for Teresa Green, but I might have gotten the address wrong," he said.
Suddenly, the girl shouted, "Grandma, you have a visitor!"
(1)、Why did David find a book to enjoy with Philip?A、Because Philip was entertained most by books. B、Because David intended to show Philip a picture. C、Because David remembered something in the book.

D、Some beach tours.(3)、How did Philip help David search for his friends?A、By posting the picture online. B、By visiting them with David. C、By giving away his tablet as a gift.
