2、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Culture and heritage play an important role in our lives. Countries and societies use diverse methods to preserve their culture and heritage. Some document it through architectural skills. Some write manuscripts in great detail. This is because as a society we understand the importance of documenting our culture and heritage. People document their past. This makes sure their culture is clearly understood by the generations to come.
Each culture has its own music, literature, festivals, clothing, food habits, and other unique characteristics. Celebrate major holidays with family, friends and relatives; organize your cultural events and cook traditional foods by taking guidance from the elders in your family. When you prepare such food, you will realize that it's actually your comfort food and a source of family pride.
Right now many languages are at risk of extinction. If you know one of themand if it is your native language, motivate others in your family and relationships to talk more in this language. If you know people who share your culture and tradition, but speak in a different language ,try to talk to them in your own native language. This will help in preserving an integralaspect of your culture.
If you live in a foreign country, adjust to the local culure but try not to lose your family traditions. And for that keep talking to your family and friends at home, join local groups linked to your culture and keep celebrating your country's festivals, of course by following local laws.

The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacifie Ocean. Here,a string of 452 volcanoes stretches from the southern tip of South America, up along the coast of North America, across the Bering Strait, down through Japan, and into NewZealand.
The Ring of Fire is the result of plate tectonics(板块构造).Tectonic plates are huge pieces of the earth's crust, which fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The plates are constantly moving on top of a layer of solid rock called the mantle(地幔).Sometimes these plates collide, move apart, orslide next to each other, which shows the normal conditions on the Ring of Fire.
The Ring of Fire is home to hot spots, areas deep within the earth's mantle from which heatrises. This heat facilitates the meling of rock in the upper portion of the mantle.The melted rock, known as magma, often pushes through cracks in the crust to form volcanoes. Most of the active volcanoes on the Ring of Fire are found on its western edge.
Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand is one of the active volcanoes on the Ring of Fire, with yearly minor eruptions, and major eruptions occuring about every 50 years.It's part of the Taupo Volcanic Area, where the dense Pacific Plate is subducting(向下俯冲)beneath the Australian Plate.
Krakatau is an island volcano in Indonesia, beneath which the denser Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. A violent eruption in 1883 destroyed the entire island.
Mount Fuji, Japan's tallest and most famous mountain, is an active volcano on the Ring of Fire. It last erupted in 1707,but recent earthquake activity in eastern Japan may have put the volcano in a"critical state".Mount Fuji sits at a zone where the Amur Plate, Okhotsk Plate, and Philippine Plate interact.
The Ring of Fire's eastern half also has many active volcanic areas. For instance, Popocatépetlis one of Mexico's most active volcanoes, with 15 recorded eruptions since 1519.The volcano is the result of the small Cocos Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate.
(1)、What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A、The importance of the Ring of Fire. B、The tectonic activity on the Ring of Fire. C、The eruptive volcanoes on the Ring of Fire. D、The exact location of the Pacifie Ring of Fire.(2)、How do volcanoes form?A、By heating the rock in the mantle. B、By stimulating the tectonic activity. C、By accelerating the crash of the plates. D、By pushing magma through the cracks of the crust.(3)、Which volcano is the result of the interaction among three tectonic plates?A、Mount Fuji in Japan. B、Krakatau in Indonesia. C、Popocatepetl in Mexico. D、Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand.(4)、What do we know about the volcanoes mentioned in the text?A、Krakatau has only erupted once. B、Popocatépetl erupts every 33 years. C、Mount Ruapehu is relatively active. D、Mount Fuji suffers from earthquakes. -

Music festivals are environmental disasters when it comes to the amount of trash generated, and this seems mostly from festival-goers' strange disposable mentality. An estimated 80%of trash generated by music festivals comes from what's left behind by campers, and the Association of Independent Festivals guesses 1 to 2 out of every 6 tents are left behind. They get used for a single weekend and are often abandoned.
After the Isle of Wight Festival in the UK saw a shocking 10,000 tents left behind in 2011,some environmentally-minded people decided to take action. A campaign called" Love Your Tent(LYT)"was started, and its aim is to"make getting up and leaving absolutely everything behind you completely socially unacceptable".
The campaign took over a single campground at the festival and ensured that every person who wanted to camp there signed an agreement including promising to take their gear home. The first year 2012 was a success. Out of 1,500 campers, only 18 tents were abandoned. In 2018,the Isle of Wight Festival saw 1,450 campers staying in the designated(指定的)"Love Your Tent"fields,a nd no tents were left behind.
Unfortunately, it continues to be a frustrating battle. When LYT did a survey of students in 2017,they found that 60%of participants admitted to leaving tents behind in the past, even though86%recognized waste has an impact on the environment.36%were unsure if their behavior would ever change, and a pitiful 35%said their behavior would definitely never change.
While there's no easy solution to this trash disaster, it's clear that music festival organizers need to take responsibility for what their event creates, and demand that campers clean up their act, literally. Organizers could also provide tent-recycling facilities for those who insist on leaving their tents behind. Everyone could at least sign a code of conduct agreement when purchasing tickets.
Participants can also avoid attending festivals with bad reputations for waste management and support those with good policies. Most importantly,create your own zero-waste standards for camping and be an example to others. Camping,which is supposed to be a celebration of nature, should never turn into a garbage dump.
(1)、What led some environmentalists to launch the "Love Your Tent" campaign?A、Their need for disposal rules. B、People's waste disposal behavior. C、People's call for more music festivals. D、Their recognition of the festival trash.(2)、What do we know about the campaign in 2012 and 2018?A、They attracted few campers. B、No campers broke its rule. C、The campers remained constant. D、It resulted in cleaner campground.(3)、What does the author intend to show about the campaign by mentioning the survey?A、Its impact on the participants' attitudes towards littering. B、Its efforts to raise students' environmental consciousness. C、Its ongoing challenges in changing festival goers' behavior. D、Its progress in combating trash generation at music festivals.(4)、Which of the following is discussed in the last two paragraphs?A、The organizers' duty to manage waste. B、The value of solving trash problem. C、The role of festival plays in life. D、The urgency of spreading music. -

In 1983,thousands of runners from all over the world gathered in Australia to take part in the West field Sydney-Melbourne Ultramarathon—a distance of 875 kilometers. The first man to win this race was 61-year-old potato farmer Cliff Young.
When Cliff showed up in the race, he stuck out like a sore thumb. While all the other participants wore professional running equipment, Cliff was dressed as if he had just retumed from the field. Wearing his everyday clothes and work boots, he quickly attracted the attention of reportlers present,
"I grew up on a farm where we couldn't afford horses or tractors(拖拉机).Whenever the storms would roll in, I'd have to go out and round up the sheep," Clif told reporters."Sometimes I'd have to run those 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres for two or three days.It took a long time, but I'd always catch them. I believe I can run this race. "No one actually believed him. Most competitors were in their 20s and early 30s,with years of training and marathon experience.
On the first day, Cliff was left far behind. But he had one advantage that no one had expected. All the other runners had been training to run for 18 hours a day and then stop and sleep for the other six, but he didn't stop until he reached the finish line. Although running at a slow pace, he simply didn't stop running, which helped him maintain the lead for the whole five and a half day. Upon being handed a $10,000 check as a prize for winning the race, Clif decided to keep none of it for himself and instead divided it evenly among the other five runners, who eventually managed to finish the race.
Cliff continued to run. In 1997,he set out to raise funds for homeless kids by running all 16,000 kilometers of the Australian coastline. In 2000,Cliff achieved a world age record in a six-day race in Victoria

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。
One year ago, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be "neighbours" with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the "trash king".
Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms. Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a "garbage-inspired inventor" who has won the city invention award. According to Ms. Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a"domestic wastewater separation system".
Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack's way of "picking up trash". We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the "trash king". Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack's guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention—a small cart for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels? We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.
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。
When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea.
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.

The ancient Chinese built two great engineering wonders: the Great Wall and the Grand Canal. Though the Great Wall's effect in military (defend) has worn off over time, the Grand Canal remains an important channel of cultural communication.
The Grand Canal, is made up of three parts (Suitang Grand Canal, Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal and Zhedong Grand Canal), is a (run) epic (史诗) of transformation. The man-made waterway runs more than 2,000 kilometres from north to south across the large eastern flatland of China. It is about 16 times size of the Suez Canal in Egypt and 33 times (long) than the Panama Canal, the world's second- and third-largest man-made waterways. "It sees the striking and early development of water engineering," the UNESCO website says (official).
In ancient times, the Grand Canal served the key waterway for grain transport and every kind of economic and cultural exchange. It also improved the time-consuming journeys of workers materials for the building of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the imperial city of the Yuan (1271-1368), Ming and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
Years ago, it (inspire) the name of Chenchen, one of the three mascots (吉祥物) of the Hangzhou Asian Games. Chenchen, from the Gongchen Bridge, which goes across the Hangzhou part of the Grand Canal, is coloured blue (suggest) science and technology.
