1、 根据下面短文,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。
Home accidents occur unexpectedly everywhere in and around the house. One of the best ways is to take action ahead to prevent them from happening.
If you find any object lying on the floor, you need to pick it up and keep it on the table. Otherwise, it might hurt anybody in your house. Then, if you find that any of the electrical wires which needs repair, you must do it immediately. This kind of wires or switches can lead to short circuit(短路)in the house. To make your home shockproof, you must check the wires from time to time. This will not only keep you safe, but will also protect other members of the family.
Another way is keeping a first aid kit in your room. When you prepare a first aid kit for your house, you need to decide about the things that you need to keep inside it. First of all, you need band aids. You must make sure that these band aids are of all sizes and they must also be waterproof. The painkillers will help you when you get hurt or if you are in great pain due to some home accidents. You will also need cotton, wool, scissors as well as safety pins. If you have these things inside the first aid kit, then you will surely not have any problem in the future.
A. Then you need to have tape as well as painkillers.
B. So what you need to do is prepare yourself for them.
C. In addition, you also have the chances of getting shock.
D. Here are necessary things you should put in a first aid kit.
E. This will protect you from the accidents which are common.
F. You can follow certain rules to prevent pain and accidents.
G. It is perhaps significant for you to be well prepared before an accident happens.

Squirrels eavesdrop on(窃听)the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator(食肉动物)is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to tune in to cries of alarm from other creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.
Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they pottered about(晃悠)different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.
After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a redtailed hawk, which lasted a couple of seconds—and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a threeminute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent "vigilant"(警惕)compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these "lookups" dropped off faster over time.
"Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging(觅食)success," the authors wrote.
The team suggested that with levels of humanmade noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.
Dr. Jakob BroJorgensen, coauthor of the study from Oberlin College, said: "The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant," he said. "And it
makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive(无处不在的)impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven't thought of."
(1)、What does the new research find about squirrels' eavesdropping?A、It lacks scientific evidence. B、It is more widespread and broader. C、It needs to be further investigated. D、It is contradictory to previous findings.(2)、What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A、The subject of the experiment. B、The findings of the experiment. C、The process of the experiment. D、The purpose of the experiment.(3)、Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels?A、They can escape from potential risks. B、It helps them to forage food successfully. C、It is safe for them to play with their mates. D、They can adapt to a new environment quickly.(4)、What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research?A、It's possible effects. B、Its appeal to the public. C、Expectations for further study. D、Scientists with new awareness. -

First constructed in the first century as a part of a villa, the garden of Keyuan in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, was rebuilt and redecorated on numerous occasions throughout history until it became a Confucian academy in
1805. The waterscape, rockeries and flourishing willows may have greeted students to step into a "painting" where earthly beauty and dynamics of a real world can be felt.
However, in recent history, the shine of the past seems to have been forgotten by the passing of time. The pond was muddy. Rocks were unstable. Plants were withering. Termites also damaged the buildings, the structure of which had been damaged through decades of neglect. The contrast became even more regrettable when the Great Wave Pavilion, a garden on the UNESCO World Heritage List that is just a few meters away across a narrow lane, was crowded with tourists every day.
When Keyuan was handed to He Fengchun, an experienced garden renovation designer, in 2016, her work to make "the pearl" shine again was challenging. "Every step in the restoring and decorating process has to follow historical recordings," says the designer. "It took just more than one year for us to actually renovate this garden, but much longer time was spent in evaluating every detail in the plan and making sure of its historical accuracy," she says.
Renovation of Keyuan was recognized with an AsiaPacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation by UNESCO in
2021. A bright and elegant garden is now accessible to visitors and jointly describes a culturally rich neighborhood with the Great Wave Pavilion.
And now, to keep healthy, it also needs regular maintenance, in which modern science plays a key role. For example, with support of big data analysis and scientific evaluation of impact brought by tourism, the largest numbers of visitorswithin a day or even an hourare set for every key site to create a comfortable experience for both tourists and the gardens.
(1)、What do the underlined words "the pearl" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A、Keyuan. B、The UNESCO World Heritage. C、Renovation of Keyuan. D、The Great Wave Pavilion.(2)、What does the designer say about renovating Keyuan?A、It's practical. B、It's significant. C、It's timeconsuming. D、It's urgently needed.(3)、What does the author want to tell us by the example in the last paragraph?A、The need to limit the number of visitors. B、The negative impact tourism has on gardens. C、The comfortable experience gardens give visitors. D、The role modern science plays in protecting gardens.(4)、What is the most suitable title for the text?A、The Process of Repairing Keyuan B、Beauty of Classical Suzhou Gardens C、The Shinning of the Garden of Keyuan Again D、Classical Gardens of World Cultural Heritage -

I was in a new state at a new school and needed something solid to stand on: a place to feel grounded. I also needed to do laundry, so I walked to a nearby selfservice laundry and stuffed a machine with my clothes. As I struggled to close the washer door, the woman working behind the counter told me to give it a good hit with my hand. The washer did its job, yet even after an hour, the dryer seemed to have barely warmed my clothes. I left, having decided to airdry them on my car in the August heat.
A month later, I learned her name was Sandy, which she told me after I'd helped her stop a washing machine from moving across the floor. I was grading poems at a table when one of the washers broke loose and skipped an inch into the air. I jumped to the machine and held on while she unplugged it. The next week, Sandy told me dryer No. 8 was the fastest.
It went on like this. I'd do laundry once a week, usually Thursday or Friday. Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and we'd talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and his grades, the new dog they'd just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased(开玩笑)that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.
I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, I'd do laundry and talk with her. We checked on each other and expected the other to be there. We asked where the other had gone when we missed a week. There was a note of concern for the other's absence, a note of joy at their return.
I'd found a place to stand on solid ground.
(1)、Why did the author leave with his wet clothes?A、He liked the August heat better. B、He had to go back to the class. C、He wanted to show off his new car. D、He didn't think the dryer worked well.(2)、Why did Sandy tell the author to use dryer No. 8?A、She was warmhearted. B、She needed a volunteer. C、She wanted to thank him. D、She was sorry for the mess.(3)、What did Sandy think of a career in poetry?A、It was harder to fulfill. B、It was really fascinating. C、It was badlypaid work. D、It needed a lot of effort.(4)、What can be inferred about the author from the passage?A、He formed a close friendship with Sandy. B、He made a lot of friends in college. C、He expected Sandy to do laundry for him. D、He often wrote to Sandy after graduation. -

Emily White came to the world 17 years ago, with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive long. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In her hometown, a yearly outdoor performance was held in the school auditorium (礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the own's people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only in elude the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a glance at Amy's body and said, ''Child, you are just not suitable. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too. ''
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Butler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn't want to be rejected again, so she hesitated about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Butler called, ''Emily, you' re next. '' Kind of nervous as she was, Emily did as Mr. Butler told her to. Mr. Butler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Butler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn' t sleep that night. She tossed and turned in bed one thousand times. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn't fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain due to stress.
Paragraph 1:
Emily hurried to the choral room and anxiously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
Paragraph 2:
Finally, the day of performance came.

Tips for Writing a Great Speech
How to write a strong speech? There are a lot of different ways to answer that question.
◆ Read your speech out loud
Unlike almost all other forms of writing, speech-writing is designed for listeners. So, when reviewing your text, read it to yourself and pay attention to how the words sound and feel. If your phrases make you stumble(结巴), they are guaranteed to make your boss stumble as well. Just remember that good writing is not necessarily good speech-writing。
◆ Simple phrases are your friends
Keep your sentences short and sweet. Compound phrases with multiple clauses may look great on paper, but are likely to confuse your audience and decrease the effectiveness of your speech. Limit yourself to one or two ideas per sentence.
◆ Do your research
Before beginning a speech, make sure to familiarize yourself with the subject. The creative aspects of speech-writing are only effective when backed by a strong foundation of knowledge by the speaker. The audience must trust your words in order for their meaning to sink in. If you're well-prepared, it will show.
Your listeners should be a strong determining factor of the content, tone and style of your speech. Before drafting remarks, think about who you're speaking to, the place you're speaking at and the timing of your speech. There' s a time and a place for every type of remarks. It's your job to figure out when and where you are
A. Know your audience.
B. Show respect to your listeners.
C. Express them as clearly and powerfully as possible.
D. Thus, you can write about it with confidence and authority(权威).
E. Do they slip off the tongue or are they clumsy and awkward?
F. Different writers are most likely to adopt diverse approaches to speech-writing.
G. Here are rules that all writers should follow in order to write a winning speech.
