2、 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。
Simon transferred (转学) to the school which Jerry attended after his parents business closed down. Jerry had met Simon long before. After all, his mother once worked as the housekeeper in the large house that was Simon's home. Since young Jerry had looked at all that Simon had with envy and anger. Jerry's mother ensured that Jerry treated Simon's family with politeness, unaware that each time she made him do so, her young son's hatred increased.
Jerry was seen as the leader in class, being the captain of the school soccer team. The other students looked on him as their hero. When Simon transferred to the school, Jerry knew that it was payback time. He would show Simon that he was the superior one even without all the trappings of wealth. Thus,he always tried to ensure Simon was unwelcome in his class. He always said,"Sometimes, we have to treat people unkindly for their own good."
One day, Jerry's teammate ran to him with the message that his form teacher and soccer coach wanted to see him in the teachers' office. Jerry ran to the teacher's office. The expressions on the faces of his form teacher and coach worried him. He sat down quietly, hoping that the worst would not happen. He knew that he had not managed to get the minimum score required for a school athlete to remain in the school team. But he was confident that his superb performance in the soccer team would overcome all those poor results. The look on their faces showed that he was mistaken.
As he left the office, Jerry was upset. How was he to achieve the results required by the school before they would let him play in the game due to start in a month's time? To catch up on all his schoolwork in a month was clearly impossible. His mother would never be able to afford a private teacher and he had no good friends who were capable of helping him.
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。
Just then, Jerry saw Simon and he brightened up.
After a long stop, Simon's voice rang out loud and clear.

6、 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。
Happy and healthy kids. That's what parents want. Many parents are reading books and receiving all kinds of information that will help them with their meaningful role. So, on that note, here are some tips that help improve the happiness of kids.
These special times help establish the connection between parents and children. Having quality time together can teach strategies to parents to help them understand their children's needs and deepen their empathy (同理心) for their kids.
Having friends and building relationships with others is not only a useful skill but also an important part of a child's social and emotional development. Friendships help children build self-esteem (自尊心) and confidence. Encouraging kids to develop new friendships can be very helpful to them, especially to shy kids. Provide a fun and comfortable environment in the home to encourage children to bring their friends over, and offer to drive them around.
Thinking positively might not come naturally to some children. It can help them with their daily challenges, help them recover from failures, and continue to feel confident about the future. To encourage positive thinking, parents can develop a habit of praising their kids. Hanging up cards with positive messages around the house is also a good idea.
Kids learn more by watching their parents than by listening to what they tell them. Parents should teach their children by example to take care of themselves. Besides, parents can go to the gym, and perhaps even take a vacation with friends, which can be beneficial to the children.
A. Encourage physical activity.
B. After all, happy parents raise happy kids!
C. It seems like there is always more to learn.
D. This could help them get to know themselves better.
E. Encouraging this skill can be valuable and beneficial.
F. For children, spending time with their parents is a huge treat!
G. You can help your children create conditions for making friends.

A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and5th-grade students from 15schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trip s during the school year, to an art museum, a live theatre performance, and a symphony (交响乐) concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores and performed better in class over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
This new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered "cultural".
(1)、Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips according to Paragraph 2?A、Teachers are concerned about students' safety. B、Teachers don't believe in the worth of field trips. C、Students have to miss a whole day out of school. D、Teachers have to ensure the students meaningful experiences.(2)、What is Heidi Erickson's attitude towards cultural field trips?A、Doubtful. B、Supportive. C、Concerned. D、Unclear.(3)、How did the researchers make the finding?A By asking students questions.
A、By taking field trips themselves. B、By doing surveys among teachers. C、By comparing different groups of students.(4)、What is the main idea of the text?A、Cultural field trips improve students' grades. B、Students perform better in an appropriate space. C、Why cultural field trips are popular with students. D、Why the number of students' field trips is dropping. -

Based on a comic series of the same name, Paper Girls arrived on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, July 29, 2022. It tells the story of four 12-year-old paper girls — Erin, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ — on a time-travelling adventure in the late 1980s, when girls usually delivered newspapers in Cleveland, Ohio.
The comic series was written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated (作插图) by Cliff Chiang. According to Chiang, the series explores questions of identity all young people face. "When you're 12," he said, "you're starting to ask yourself, ‘Who do I want to be?' And that's a question that follows you throughout your life."
Chiang, a famous illustrator, was thrilled to draw strong female characters in Paper Girls. He liked the book so much that he decided to revisit the world of the book by drawing pictures for it. "They're changing themselves," he said, "and they also stand for so much potential (潜力) to change the world. Because there's always something broken that they need to fix, and hopefully fix for the better." He said it looks at diversity (多样性) in a new way. "Diversity is so important," Chiang said. "It just shows you that the world has always been diverse."
"Wherever you look, there is a woman in power," said actor Nate Corddry, who plays Larry Radakowski in the time-travel adventure. "The biggest thing is that this lesson that women can run every department is being sent down to the girls." Actress Camryn Jones agreed. The 15-year-old plays paper girl Tiffany. "There's a heavy female influence on this project," she said.
(1)、What do we know about Paper Girls?A、It was produced in July. B、It tells a fact-based story. C、It is set in the late 1980s. D、Its characters are made of paper.(2)、What does the underlined word "thrilled" mean in Paragraph 3?A、Excited. B、Touched. C、Worried. D、Confused.(3)、Who plays one of the leading roles in the show?A、BrianK. Vaughan. B、Cliff Chiang. C、Nate Corddry. D、Camryn Jones.(4)、What message does Paper Girls mainly try to get across to girls?A、Women can be brave. B、Women can be clever. C、Women can be lovely. D、Women can be powerful. -
9、 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。
In May, we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, or AAPI Heritage Month. My family comes from the country of Bangladesh, a country in South Asia. Tens of years ago, members of my family moved to the United States. They lived in New Jersey, where some other relatives had already lived.
While family members have got used to American ways of life, the Bangladeshi culture is still alive through our food and culture. Traditionally in May, we go to my grandmother's house and make homemade paratha, fresh mint tea, aloo tikki, khichri, and phirni, all of which are delicious Bangladeshi foods.
When my mother was growing up, she often asked my grandma to make paratha. "Even now, I ask my mum to make paratha. Having my mum's paratha brings back something from my childhood," she says.
Often, we start our morning by picking fresh mint from my grandma's garden, which we later use in our tea. We then collect what is needed for—the star of our breakfast, paratha. Some simple things include flour (面粉) water, and salt. The most important part is kneading the dough (揉面团). Many things can go wrong, such as adding too much water or not adding enough flour. With practice, the end result is fried bread that is thin.
Shortly after our light breakfast, we prepare aloo tikki. It starts with mashing (捣碎) potatoes. My grandma often uses pink salt and lemon to make the potatoes taste better. Next, the potatoes are shaped into small round pieces and fried in oil. The final thing on our menu is phirni, a rice pudding. It's the perfect way to end a Bangladeshi meal.
My grandmother moved to the U. S. as a teenager. It's a gift to learn about her experiences, and to learn from her about the tastes of Bangladeshi culture. Although Bangladesh is a lesser known Asian country, through people like my grandmother, Bangladeshi culture and traditions will continue.
(1)、How does the author's family celebrate AAPI Heritage Month?A、By having a meal with their friends at home. B、By sharing ways to cook Bangladeshi dishes. C、By taking his grandmother out for a big meal. D、By cooking something from their native land.(2)、What can we learn from the author's mother's words?A、She likes paratha very much. B、She misses her mum very much. C、She is not good at cooking. D、She had a lonely childhood.(3)、What is the most challenging part of preparing paratha?A、Picking fresh mint. B、Kneading the dough. C、Frying bread. D、Mashing the potatoes.(4)、What does the author tell us to do by writing the text? ·A、Keep all close people in mind. B、Celebrate even small wins in life. C、Keep hometown cultures alive. D、Arrange a happy family time often. -

Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519),painter, sculptor(雕塑家), architect and inventor, is probably the most talented person who ever lived. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa,sits in the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫), is one of the great art attractions of the world.
The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious smile the woman's face. What is the reason for her smile? Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait(肖像) of Da Vinci (he)!This is because some of her (face) features are similar to those in one of Da Vinci's self-portraits. They might suggest that the smile is because Da Vinci knows the (true)—where we see a woman, what he painted was a man. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her(tooth)! We will never know for sure, but it is fun to guess!
Mona Lisa didn't always sit behind the glass in the Louvre. In 1911 the painting (steal).Many were called in for questioning,(include) the now famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso.(lucky), two years after the theft, it was discovered. People are now more careful to protect this precious work of art.

These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz.
Study Alone. Unless you've got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly.
The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible—like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don't have your own room, consider studying at the library instead.
Eat healthy while you study. If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food(垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood.They won't help you in the long run. You can instead eat a banana or an apple.
Study all term long. You may always wish to put off studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won't really stay in your brain. That's not true. Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook.
A. Get everything you need.
B. Create a perfect study area.
C. Say no to caffeine or energy drinks.
D. Having trouble getting serious about studying for a test?
E. Save the social time till after you've handed in your test.
F. Having no idea what to expect in your first year of high school?
G. It might seem boring, but it'll really keep all those facts in your brain on test day.

Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That's the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation(放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we're on the go.
The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract(抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That's the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test.
The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones.
This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure(接触) each person could have got while talking.
A phone user's exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phone s more than others. People also hold their phone s differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes.
The teens' scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.
(1)、The underlined word "impairment" in Paragraph 1 most probably mean"____".A、result B、damage C、mistake D、improvement(2)、Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A、The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total. B、The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones. C、Researchers paid little attention to the teens' habits of using phones. D、The teens' ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test.(3)、According to the study, teens who use their phone s to their right ears a lot do worse inA、matching numbers B、reading signals C、remembering shape D、learning words(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings B、Facts About Cell Phone Use at School C、Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens D、Teen's Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems -

Social media has been around for years now, and most of us may describe it as any Internet medium(媒体) that can be used to share information with others. But what exactly is so "social" about sitting before a computer blogging(发博客) for days without anybody reading it, or scrolling(滚屏) through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you hardly know? If you ask me, it can be way more anti-social than anything.
Social media is not a "thing". It's not just Facebook, WeChat and Weibo. It's more of a frame of mind(心态) and a state of being. It's about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life. However, we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually des troy those relationships.
Social media isn't about numbers. When someone says "social media", web giants like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds, often because they have more updates, more friends, more followers, more everything. As the old saying goes, quality over quantity is usually the way to go. So, social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly pushing around lots of information.
Social media needs to have an "IRL" factor——an Internet expression standing for "In Real Life". It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn't be an end in itself. It was built to improve your actual social life, in real life. Take for example an event that a person attends because they are invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page. Something like that definitely has the IRL factor. Likewise, a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
In fact, there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists. Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It's all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.
(1)、The writer thinks that social media should be ____.A、a number of websites where people communicate B、a set of social tools like Facebook, WeChat and Weibo C、a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged D、a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships(2)、According to the author, which of the following cases has an IRL factor?A、Updating Facebook every now and then. B、Following new friends in real life on Facebook. C、Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo. D、Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.(3)、What is the author's main purpose of writing this article?A、To explain the importance of social media. B、To inform the negative effects of social media. C、To call on readers to use social media to better their real social life. D、To encourage readers to communicate with others in real life more often. -

We were driving on the right road when, all of a sudden, a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stepped on his brake, skidded(打滑), and missed the black car's back end by just inches! The driver of the black car, who almost caused a major accident, turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, my taxi driver was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!" And the following is what my taxi driver told me, which I now call "the law of the Garbage Truck".
"Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump(倾卸) it. And if you let them, they dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish him well, and move on. Believe me. You'll be happier."
So this is "The Law of the Garbage Truck". I started thinking: How often do I let "Garbage Trucks" run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets? It was then that I said, "I'm not going to do it any more."
I began to see "Garbage Trucks". I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my taxi driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, and move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. What about you? The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what's important.
(1)、Why did the taxi driver just smile and wave?A、Because the taxi driver didn't want his mood ruined. B、Because the taxi driver realized the black car was full of garbage. C、Because the driver of the black car didn't cause any damage to the taxi. D、Because the driver of the black car was so angry that the taxi driver felt a little frightened.(2)、The underlined part "the load" in Paragraph 5 refers to"____".A、useless garbage B、heavy goods C、new products D、bad mood(3)、What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A、Always be kind and hardworking. B、Try to be good leaders as well as good parents. C、Finish tasks quickly so as to be ready for the next. D、Ignore unpleasant experience and stick to your goals. -
