12、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As usual, the whole class burst out laughing as Patric rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama (条纹睡衣) top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals (凉鞋) that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula (公式) on the blackboard.
Patric mumbled, "Sorry, teacher," and rushed to his seat. Mr Gao glared (怒视) at the rest of the students. The chuckles (轻声笑) quickly stopped. Patric's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Patric's late arrival and his odd appearance, which usually included improper clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Patric lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school every day. Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry classmates in the bus, he would wave kindly. Although Patric was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Kevin, who sat next to Patric , tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Patric did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Kevin decided to walk over to Patric's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Patric must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Kevin let himself in. He called Patric's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Kevin peered (仔细看) in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Patric was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Kevin left quietly.
注意:1)续写词数应为150个左右;2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
With the Teacher's Day approaching, Kevin had a plan.
Paragraph 2:
As the last note(音符) ended, there was a moment of silence.

17、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 Stanford marshmallow(棉花糖)test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success.
As adults we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We're not tempted(诱惑)by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers.
We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we've reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn't eat.
A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now ceaselessly bombed(轰炸)with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental "junk food" in order to manage our time most effectively.
(1)、What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel's test?A、Delay eating for fifteen minutes. B、Show respect for the researchers. C、Share their treats with others. D、Take an examination alone.(2)、According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ____.A、the rich food supply and our unchanged brains. B、the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs. C、the calorie-poor world and our good appetites. D、the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit.(3)、What does the author suggest readers do?A、Absorb new information readily. B、Protect the information environment. C、Use diverse information sources. D、Be selective information consumers.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、Eat Less, Read More B、The Bitter Truth about Early Humans C、The Marshmallow Test for Grown-ups D、The Later, the Better -
18、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。
Perhaps you know them as "taters," "spuds," or "Kennebees," or as "chips," "Idahoes," or even "shoestrings. " No matter, a potato by any other name is still a potato - the world's most widely grown vegetable. As a matter of fact, if you are an average potato eater, you will put away at least 100 pounds of them each year.
That's only a tiny amount grown every year, however. Worldwide, the annual potato harvest is over 6 billion bags. Each bag contains 100 pounds of potatoes, some of them as large as four pounds each. Here in the United States, farmers fill about 400 million bags a year. That may seem like a lot of "taters, " but it leaves the United States a distant third among world potato growers. Polish farmers dig up just over 800 million bags a year, while the Russians lead the world with nearly
1. 5 billion bags.
People eat potatoes in many ways-baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are devoured in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. For example, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into "shoestrings" shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no "small potatoes. "
(1)、What can we learn from the passage about potato?A、Taters don't belong to the category of potato. B、One potato can weigh 4 pounds. C、Potato lovers eat 100 pounds of potato every day. D、Polish farmers harvest the most potatoes in the world.(2)、What does the underlined word "devoured" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、planted B、consumed C、produced D、harvested(3)、How does paragraph 4 mainly develop?A、By making comparison. B、By listing figures C、By following the order of space. D、By providing examples.(4)、What's the main idea of the passage?A、Potatoes are disliked by many people. B、Potatoes have experienced many changes. C、Potatoes are small, but the industry is large. D、Potatoes have been made into different food. -
