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。
Merchant Tovel loved attention. Knowing that people would listen if he had news to share, he went around his village making up stories about the local rabbi(犹太教神职人员).
"He mixes dairy and meat!" said Tovel.
The townspeople shook their heads, for they all knew that dairy and meat must not be mixed in the course of any meal.
"And he sneaks(偷拿) food on Yom Kippur, " added Tovel.
"Not Yom Kippur!"cried the townspeople.
For not only is Yom Kippu r the most important fasting day of the year, but it is also the holiest Jewish holiday.
Later, alone in his home, the talebearer felt bad about what he had done. His stories about the rabbi had spread quickly. "I will go to the rabbi and beg him for forgiveness, "he decided. Then all would be well again.
The next morning, he went to the temple and knocked on the door. "Rabbi, "he called, "it is merchant Tovel, coming to see you about an important matter. "
"Come in, Tovel, "the rabbi said warmly, opening the door.
In a matter of moments, Tovel told the rabbi all the things he had said. Then he asked, "What can I do to make things right?"
The rabbi thought for a moment, then told him, "You must take a feather pillow(枕头), cut it open, and feed the feathers to the wind. "
Tovel thought that the rabbi's suggestion was strange, but the task seemed simple enough. And if it would take away the guilt he felt, then why not do it?Tovel thanked the rabbi and quickly left the temple. At home, the talebearer grabbed a feather pillow, waited for the afternoon winds to pick up, then climbed to the top of a hill. There, he cut open the pillow and watched the feathers float far and wide across the land. Satisfied, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi of his deed. "Now go and gather those feathers, "the rabbi commanded.
注意: 续写词数应为 150 左右;
"But they are everywhere!" Tovel cried. "How will I get them all?"
Feeling disappointed, Tovel returned to tell the rabbi about the feathers he couldn't collect.

Conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship. The key is not to fear or try to avoid conflict but to learn how, to solve it in a healthy way.
When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but, when handled in a respectful, positive way, Whether you're experiencing conflict, at home, work, or school, learning skills can help you resolve differences in a healthy way and build stronger, more rewarding relationships.
It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can range from the need to feel safe and secure or respected and valued, to the need for greater closeness and intimacy.
Think about the opposing needs of a toddler and a parent. The child's need is to explore, so venturing to the street or the cliff edge meets that need. But the parent's need is to protect the child's safety, a heed that can only be met by limiting the toddler's exploration.
The ability to successfully resolve conflict depends on your ability to: By staying calm, you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication. Control your emotions and behavior. When you're in control of your emotions, you can communicate your needs without threatening, intimidating, or punishing others.
A. Since these needs are different, conflict arises.
B. Conflict arises from differences, both large and small.
C. Manage stress quickly while remaining alert and calm.
D. Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feeling.
E. Differing needs can result in broken deals, decreased profits and lost jobs.
F. After all, two people can't be expected to agree on everything all the time.
G. Conflict provides an opportunity to strengthen the bond between two people.

One recent report found that adults in the US check their phones, on average, 344 times a day——once every four minutes——and spend almost three hours a day on their devices in total. The problem for many of us is that one quick phone-related task leads to a quick check of our email or social media feeds, and suddenly we've been sucked into endless scrolling(滚屏).
It's a vicious circle. The more useful our phones become, the more we use them. The more we use them, the more we lay neural pathways in our brains that lead to picking up our phones for whatever task is at hand——and the more we feel an urge to check our phone even when we don't have to.
What we do know is that the simple distraction of checking a phone or seeing a notification can have negative consequences. This isn't very surprising;we know that, in general, multitasking harms memory and performance. One of the most dangerous examples is phone use while driving.
In another recent study, researchers asked participants to either put their phones next to them so they were visible (like on a desk), nearby and out of sight (like in a bag or pocket), or in another room. Participants then completed a series of tasks to test their abilities to process and remember information, their problem-solving, and their focus. They were found to perform far better when their phones were in another room instead of nearby——whether visible, powered on or not. That held true even though most of the participant s claimed not to be consciously(有意识地) thinking about their devices.
The mere proximity(靠近) of a phone, it seems, contributes to"brain drain" Our brains may be subconsciously hard at work in controlling the desire to check our phones, or constantly monitoring the environment to see if we should check our phone(eg, waiting for a notification). Either way, this diverted attention can make doing anything else more difficult. The only"fix", the researchers found, was putting the device in a different room entirely.
(1)、How does the author bring up the topic of the text?A、By offering a piece of news. B、By sharing a magazine article. C、By describing his own experience. D、By citing previous research findings.(2)、What does the underlined word" vicious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Full. B、Magic. C、Tight. D、Bad.(3)、What does the author advise us to do to avoid mobile phone distraction?A、Never wait for a notification. B、Use our phone as little as possible. C、Stay away from our phone when doing things. D、Focus on one thing when finishing difficult things.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、The Pros and Cons of Using Mobile Phones. B、How Have Mobile Phones Changed Our Brains Negatively? C、The Consequences of Using Mobile Phones. D、Do You Want to Control the Desire to Check Your Mobile Phones? -

The plastic value chain faces two key challenges:controlling plastic waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The chemical industry has a unique role to play in addressing these challenges. Cooperation between upstream and downstream partners is essential to develop solutions that reduce plastic pollution and emissions in plastic production. SABIC(Saudi Basic Industries Corporation)is at the forefront of these efforts.
SABIC has set specific goals, including a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和) by 2050. To realize this goal, the company has outlined a Carbon Neutrality Roadmap that focuses on five pathways:energy efficiency;renewable energy;electrification;carbon capture, usage and storage(CCUS);and green/blue hydrogen.
Recognizing the scale of the challenges, SABIC understands that progress cannot be made alone. The company actively cooperates through initiatives, such as the Low — Carbon Emitting Technologies(LCET) initiative, where chemical companies work together to accelerate the development of technology solutions for carbon neutrality.
Partnerships are also vital in addressing plastic waste. SABIC is a founding member of the Alliance(联盟) to End Plastic Waste, an organization that brings stakeholders(利益相关者) from across the value chain together to take collective action on the ground. The alliance works towards a future where plastic products never end up in landfills or oceans, but instead are reused or transformed into new products. SABIC is also actively involved in driving the transition from a linear to a circular carbon economy. As responsible plastic producers, SABIC recognizes the importance of offering sustainable materials to customers.
Although the chemical industry has made significant progress, there is still more work to do to achieve the goals. SABIC is already making progress on the complex, long—term effort required and will continue to partner with others to increase the solutions needed to push meaningful change.
(1)、What kind of difficulty is the plastic value chain faced with?A、Exploring renewable energy. B、Reducing plastic production. C、Decreasing plastic pollution. D、Achieving carbon neutrality.(2)、What is vital for chemical companies according to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?A、Technology development. B、Partners' cooperation. C、Carbon neutrality. D、Sustainable development.(3)、Which best describes SABIC's efforts?A、Fruitless. B、Predictable. C、Frustrating. D、Rewarding.(4)、Which can be a suitable title for the text?A、SABIC:A leader mapping the path forward. B、SABIC:A leader solving the plastic pollution. C、SABIC:A leader reducing greenhouse gas emission. D、SABIC:A leader founding the plastic value chain. -

Cyberspace(网络空间)is constantly developing and presenting new opportunities, as the desire of businesses to quickly adopt new technologies, such as using the Internet to open new channels and adopting cloud services, provides vast opportunity. But, it also brings unexpected risks and unintended consequences that can have a potentially negative effect.
Hardly a day goes by without news of a new cyber threat. Unfortunately, businesses tend to misjudge how much risk they face from cyber crimes and how quickly this risk can develop. For them, the commercial, reputational and financial risks that go with cyberspace presence are real and growing every day.
So all businesses need to do now is establish cyber security within their organization, right?
Establishing cyber security alone is not enough. Nowadays, it is not very difficult for attackers to break security and stop the overall business system. Preventive measures are not enough to stop them. With the advancement of technology, hackers(黑客)have been changing and developing. So business risk management should include risk resilience(复原力)so that businesses can respond to any damaging cyberspace activity. Cyber resilience helps businesses successfully recover to their pre-attack business processes and business operations.
Building cyber resilience is not easy. A key finding of an authentic cyber-resilience report is that no organization can respond effectively on its own to the threats from cyberspace. Organisations must work together to share intelligence and resources. In this way, the quality, usability and authenticity of intelligence will be greatly improved.
(1)、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A、To make the development of cyberspace known. B、To show the great contributions from business. C、To make the technologies adopted by businesses attractive. D、To make the topic appealing.(2)、From the author's perspective, businesses are ____.A、lacking in awareness of cyber safety B、financially abundant C、managed successfully D、developed in judgment(3)、Cyber resilience is currently necessary for the reason that ____.A、it can prevent attacks B、threats are always transforming C、cyber security doesn't work now D、it keeps all the hackers off the internet(4)、What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A、Effective resilience can be built by an organization alone. B、Joint efforts are required in the formation of true resilience. C、A great amount of difficulty prevented building resilience. D、The cyberspace threat is nothing when cooperation is used. -

Lately, an 86. 6-metre-tall mass-timber(拼接木材) tower in Milwaukee, Wisconsin designed by Korb+Associates Architects, has been certified as the world's tallest timber building. Located in a neighbourhood near the lakefront, the 25-store y tower is made almost entirely from timber except for the base, elevators and stair shafts(竖井).
The structure took only two years to build. It has a concrete-framed podium(基座) at the base that is six storeys tall and the 19-store y timber tower rises from the podium. The core containing the elevator shaft and staircase is made of concrete to help the building deal with wind and earthquakes, as well as for fire safety reasons. "Our cores are concrete, "Korb+Associates Architects founder Jason Korb said.
Thornton Tomasetti associate Alejandro Fernandez, who worked on the project, said that the city required a three-hour fire rating for the columns, so the team worked with the Forest Products Laboratory to optimize the columns to meet this standard. "We think it was the first three-hour fire testing on columns, " said Fernandez, adding that the floor plates had a two-hour rating, meaning the components can burn for two hours without losing structural integrity.
Because of requirements preventing external wood exposure and the developer's desire to capture the lake views, the outside of the structure is made almost entirely of glass and metal panelling.
Both Korb and Fernandez agreed that many of the drivers behind the project were economic——from the real estate perspective of the facade(建筑物正面) to the cost restrictions of the timber. Much of the wood was sourced from Austria because sourcing high-quality supplies from North American manufacturers would have been too expensive. Economic benefits were increased by labour usage of the project. Korb estimated that the project used about 25 per cent of the onsite labour required for a concrete structure and that it was completed in about half the time.
Both Fernandez and Korb believe that the tower will provide further proof of concept for developers who are looking to create innovative structures from timber. And mid-rise developments like these that "attract people to the urban core"are a "good"thing, Korb added.
(1)、What can we know about the building?A、It is about 19-storey tall. B、Its cores are made of timber. C、It is the tallest building in the world. D、It can stand three-hour fire testing on columns.(2)、Where is the wood used for construction from?A、Austria. B、North America. C、The Wisconsin state. D、The Forest Products Laboratory.(3)、What does Korb think of the project?A、It is time-saving. B、It is difficult and costly. C、It is environment-friendly. D、It is energy-consuming.(4)、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A、More developers will choose timber to build tall buildings. B、The timber tower is a good example of innovative structure. C、Mid-rise developments will become more and more popular. D、Innovative structures from timber will need more improvements. -

If your friends are happy, it turns out that you're more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the likelihood that you'll pack on pounds.
The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million individuals worldwide who used an exercise tracking device for five years. They used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network. On average, fine days would encourage people to run more, rainy or cold days less.
Since different cities have different weather patterns, this natural experiment allowed them to ask: Did a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? If the weather in New York caused changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it could possibly happen through peer influences of the friends. The behavior of one city's runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city.
Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around."We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Since they are easily influenced by and influence their social network in very strong and dynamic ways, it will change the way a particular intervention succeeds or fails." Sinan Aral, the leading researcher said.
Or, let's put it this way. Next time, the doctors recommend people to do more exercise.
A. There were a few more findings.
B. That was exactly what the researchers saw.
C. More difficulties remained to be worked out.
D. They will tell the same to their friends and family, too.
E. The result provides some practical guidance for professionals.
F. Runners in one city would run as much as peers in another city.
G. Now researchers have identified another similar quality: exercise.

The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy is a highly-praised and prize winning book that highlights the globalization debates and reveals the key factors to make global business happen. Following a T-shirt's life story from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese factory and back to a U. S. storefront before arriving at the used clothing market in Africa, the book uncovers a wealth of interesting questions about politics, trade, economics, ethics(道德学), and the impact of history on today's business landscape.
Pietra Rivoli's story began at George Town University in Washington where she worked as a professor of finance and international business. One day, she encountered a student seminar about globalized economy, where one student illustrated his views by giving the simple and accessible examples of T-shirts. She became inspired so one day she bought an ordinary T-shirt randomly for $5.99, deciding to look into how the process worked, which triggered the whole story. She travelled thousands of miles and across three continents to find out who did make these T-shirts that we all wear without giving a second thought about the journey each T-shirt had to go through to make it to the United States. She reached readers by using this simple, everyday T-shirt as a camera through which to explore all aspects of globalization in a historical context.
The story is told in an interesting and efficient way to achieve its purpose of educating on global economy. The language used is simple for anyone interested in reading to understand the complex world of international trade. The book is written professionally from an economist's point of view. Rivoli uses a neutral tone, which is uncommon among economic writers and policymakers. She says, "I have written this book not to defend a position, but first of all, to tell a story; not to convey morals but to discover them, and simply to see where the story leads".
(1)、What is the usual journey does a T-shirt go?A、USA-Africa-USA-China. B、USA-China- USA-Africa. C、China- USA-China-Africa. D、USA-China-Africa-USA.(2)、What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A、The travel of a T-shirt. B、The impact of the book. C、The wisdom of the writer. D、The background of the book.(3)、What role did the T-shirt play in the book?A、An example to show complex concepts. B、An effective way to inspire the students. C、A main contributor to global cooperation. D、An important way to earn a living globally.(4)、What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?A、To show where a T-shirt goes. B、To praise an insightful professor. C、To introduce a great economy book. D、To explain what global economy is. -

Restart Dogs are currently working with Adult Estates training prisoners to raise and train puppies as assistance dogs. The analysis found the program led to a reduction in reoffending(再犯) rates in prisoners compared to those who had not participated.
Based in the UK, Restart Dogs is a vocational education programme that trains adult prisoners to become assistance dog trainers. They raise and train dogs to become assistance dogs, teaching them key skills such as door manners, staying where they are asked, walking to heel on a loose lead, and settling next to their handlers while they work and study. But most importantly, they are learning to have faith in their handlers guiding them through their new adventures and environment.
The programme is paid for by the Prisoners Fund, raised by the work that prisoners do in prison. There are a few conditions that prisoners must meet before they can take part in the programme, for example, they must be free of behaviour-related violation(违反) for a specified period before admittance to the programme as well as continuedgood behaviour throughout the programme.
For prisoners, the benefits of training dogs have been well researched and recorded. Working with professionals to train dogs responsibly allows prisoners to improve their social skills, empathy, self-regulation, respect and overall well-being. The analysis reported a 36% difference in reoffending rates in the training group compared to the control group. These outcomes are similar to those found with more traditional programmes such as education, employment and training programmes.
Meanwhile, for people in need of an assistance dog, there can often be a long waiting list due to the length of time it takes to train an assistance dog—it usually takes two to three years. Thanks to the work that Restart Dogs is doing, as well as training the dogs for future success and happiness, prisoners are able to get a second chance in society!
(1)、What are the dogs mainly trained to learn?A、To follow orders. B、To cure the prisoners. C、To trust the trainers. D、To learn to be quiet.(2)、Which is the requirement for the participants?A、Having free time. B、Being well-behaved. C、Respecting officers. D、Sticking to the end.(3)、What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A、The program works better than expected. B、The program contributes to positive outcomes. C、The trainer prisoners tend to be released early. D、The program can replace other traditional ones.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、A Reform was Conducted in Prisons B、Great Wonders were Created by Dogs C、A Program Helped to Reduce Crimes D、Prisoners Training Dogs Got Trained -

When I got a job as a waitress at Olive Garden, I hadn't waited tables for 13 years, and it was the only place that would hire me with an employment gap like that. For the first time in over a decade, I felt at my wit's end in my freelance(自由职业) writing business for so long that I needed to get a part-time job for inspiration.
My first day of employment was a few weeks before Thanksgiving on my 37th birthday. At first, I was worried about whether I could still physically do the job. But Olive Garden made it easy to relearn serving. For not long, my arms got stronger, I mastered the pace and got used to the chaos and I made friends with my co-workers.
On Valentine's Day, I was surprised by what I saw. That night, Olive Garden was a madhouse. A fight was about to break out in the kitchen. Instead of three or four tables in my section, I had more like nine. In the mid of all this chaos, I was struck with a deep sense of appreciation for what I was doing. Standing in that packed dining room, with my apron and name tag on, I saw myself in the guests — the big families getting together to celebrate love and the couples who were there on casual dates.

20、 短文续写
Have you ever been so depressed that you can't sleep? You also can't eat. You can't read. You have no friends to call up and nothing is good on TV. So, you sigh, press your face down harder into your pillow, and shed a few tears.
This was my life two years ago. I had just turned 14 but already found life a struggle. As I lay in my bed one Saturday, Mom peeked (瞄) into my room to make her regular "Is Emily still alive" check. I knew that if I spent more time like this, she would begin dusting me. After suggesting a few things for me to do that I immediately rejected, Mom made her move, "Emily! Get dressed! I'm taking the dog out for a walk, and you're coming with me!" "Why?" I protested. "Because it'll make you feel better."
The thought of moving was unbearable. I felt as if all of my body parts were weighed down by tons of bricks. I couldn't remember the last time I had gone outside. Somehow, I found the strength to slip on a pair of jeans and a black sweatshirt. Mom was waiting at the door, leash (狗绳) in hand and dog at her side.
Then, we stepped outside. It was a warm March Day and it had been a long time since the warmth of the sun had touched my cheeks. Mom led the dog and me down some dirt paths, through a big field and reached Halsey Pond. But the signs of spring had yet to appear and the scene was rather colorless throughout the entire journey.
"I'm tired! It's boring, Mom! When can we go home?" "Not yet," she'd say. Mom stopped to say hi to every jogger, dog walker, runner, and bicyclist who passed us. Sometimes she would get into a conversation. They would talk about weather, dogs, and all small talk topics. She seemed happy, and was literally glowing (容光焕发). After walking for what seemed an age, Mom finally said it was time to go back.
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。
Paragraph 1: When I got home, a new feeling seemed to be awakened.
Paragraph 2: A new Saturday found me asking Mom if I could take the dog out.
