12、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a busy morning and I had several tasks to do before the day became too hot outside. While walking by the side of a busy road, I noticed an old lady, maybe in her 80s standing in danger close to the traffic. Although my mind was occupied, I thought to myself that I should warn her not to stand so close to the traffic rushing by.
When I reached the spot where the old lady was standing, I recognized that she was trying to get attention of passersby who of course were too busy to take note of her. She kept pointing to the middle of the road. When I tried to gently move her back further away from the edge of the busy road, she said that she was standing there because she had dropped her house key in the middle of the road and was unable to open her house without the key. I looked around and no one seemed to be interested in the two of us. I knew I was getting delayed but decided to help.
The traffic was busy on the road with people on two-wheelers and office goers in cars as well as school buses rushing with school children. It was the worst time of the day to cross a busy road without a traffic light.
After asking the old lady to stay at a safe distance, I took a deep breath, stepped onto the road, and waved my hands wildly, expecting not to be hit by the coming vehicles. At first one lane stopped and then I moved further on to the middle of the road, continuing to wave my hand. Just then a school bus was approaching me and I stepped in front of it to stop it. My experience has been that school bus drivers are always considerate of reckless(鲁莽的) pedestrians like me.
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:
The school bus stopped exactly opposite the spot where the key had fallen.
Paragraph 2:
As I turned to continue my hurried walk, the old lady pulled me by my hand.

Physical exercise can play an important role in mental well-being and can even relieve symptoms of mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. While the physical health benefits of exercise are frequently discussed, the link between exercise and mental health is often overlooked.
Physical activity distracts you from negative thoughts and emotions. Exercise can also be used to enhance well-being in people who already feel mentally healthy. Increased physical activity has also been found to promote quality sleep.
Exercise can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy state. You may feel a significant boost in your mood as your clothes look more beautiful on you and you seem to look more elegant.
Exercise can be a good source of social support. The benefits of social support are well-documented. So whether you join an exercise class or you play softball in a league, exercising with others can give you a double dose of stress relief.
Have you ever noticed how your body feels when you are under stress? Your muscles may be tense, especially in your face, neck and shoulders, leaving you with back or neck pain, or painful headaches. Exercising is an effective way to break this cycle.
If you are just starting out with an exercise program, it's important to consult with your doctor to determine the best form of exercise for your physical condition.
A. Exercise promotes confidence.
B. Exercise helps reduce health risk.
C. Many physical activities can be social activities as well.

Earthquake prediction has long been a challenge for scientists around the globe since the geological phenomenon can occur at any time and any location with little or no warning. The chance of a powerful earthquake can only be determined through long-term forecasts in a general area or region on Earth.
Throughout history, no individual or group has yet successfully predicted a major earthquake: including its date and time, location and magnitude. These are the three element s essential to make an earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). While small earthquakes occur all the time, high-intensity earthquakes are rare but is something to watch out.
Now, a new study led by researchers from Pennsylvania State University found a potential solution to the dilemma of earthquake forecast: ancient underthrust rocks. Rocks buried deep in ancient subduction (俯冲) zones—where tectonic ( 地壳的) plates bump with each other—could help scientists make better predictions of how these zones behave during the years between major earthquakes.
According to the USGS, we are still uncertain how we can make such a feat and are not expecting to perfectly predict major earthquakes any time in the foreseeable future.
Although some people in the past said they could predict earthquakes, the U. S. Government agency asserts these are all failed predictions. Their predictions are neither grounded on scientific fact nor passed through the scientific method.
Since authorities in the field of geology and other related areas acknowledged that earthquake prediction is still far from being completed, scientists continue to further understand this mystery. Unlike weather forecasts of hurricanes and other storms, earthquakes have no concrete parameters (参数) that would indicate that they would occur in the coming hours, days, weeks or months.
Regardless, the Penn State researchers have made progress in the dilemma by understanding the underthrust rocks in ancient subduction zones. Determining this area could help scientists better predict the behavior of these zones during periods between major earthquakes. Evidence of their findings was based on clues from rock formations in Alaska and Japan.
(1)、What is the hard nut as to earthquake prediction?A、Earthquakes often occur in unexpected areas. B、No scientists can tell how earthquakes happen. C、The geological structure is too complicated. D、It is hard to predict earthquakes accurately.(2)、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4?A、Take actions. B、Achieve success. C、Adopt measures. D、Face challenges.(3)、Why can hurricanes be accurately forecasted?A、Because they can be tracked through the specific data. B、Because they usually happen in some particular places. C、Because they can be confirmed by the practical experience. D、Because they often take place during hot summer time.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Ancient underthrust rocks help in earthquake prediction. B、Earthquake prediction remains a problem to work out. C、Underthrust rocks indicate coming violent earthquakes. D、Scientists can successfully predict destructive earthquakes. -

New research from the American non-profit organization Consumer Reports finds that plastics have a "widespread" presence in food. The group called on the United States government to examine the safety of food that comes into contact with plastics during production.
In a report released Thursday, Consumer Reports said that 84 out of 85 food products it recently tested contained "plasticizers" called phthalates. Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics last longer. The researchers also said 79 percent of the examined foods contained bisphenol A (BPA), another chemical found in plastics.
In these tests, the researchers checked a wider variety of foods to see how much of the chemicals Americans actually consume. The answer is quite a lot. The tests found that bisphenols and phthalates remain widespread in food, almost in every food we tested. The levels did not depend on packaging type, and no one particular type of food—say, dairy products or prepared meals—was more likely than another to have them. Consumer Reports said all the levels were within limits set by U. S. and European regulators. All the foods tested remained within the limits. However, does that mean it is safe to eat?
Beyond highlighting these concerns, Consumer Reports is actively working on issues related to consumer safety. This includes advocating for the banning of harmful chemicals in food. The widespread presence of plastics in food is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention from both regulators and consumers. While we wait for policy changes, there are steps individuals can take to reduce exposure to these chemicals. Some of these measures include avoiding plastic food storage containers, limiting consumption of fast food. Replacing plastic kitchen tools with those made of wood and stainless steel can also help. Using glass or steel water bottles can further reduce exposure. It's also important to air your home regularly to reduce exposure to phthalates in household dust.
(1)、What is the finding of the research?A、Plastic containers are widely used nowadays. B、Plastics can pollute food during production. C、Plastics contain many harmful materials. D、Plastics are related to food safety issue.(2)、Why does the author mention phthalate?A、To stress its key role in making plastics. B、To show it will do harm to our health. C、To offer basic information to consumers. D、To tell what food products are made up of.(3)、Why are researchers so worried?A、Bisphenols and phthalates are not used. B、The set limits may not be suitable at present. C、The regulators don't perform their duty. D、The packaging types are still the same.(4)、How is the passage mainly organized?A、By discussing research experiments. B、By comparing different results. C、By analyzing cause and effect. D、By presenting problem and solution. -
19、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
When I was a little boy, my mom, dad, brothers and I lived in my grandma's old house, surrounded by four huge vegetable gardens. Around the house she planted so many flowers. On the back porch grandma had dozens of potted plants hanging on hooks. She watered them, talked to them and nurtured them. And in winter she would carry them all inside and set them on shelves near the windows of our enclosed front porch. There with a little water and a lot of love she kept them alive and growing even during the darkest months.
As a boy I was puzzled by all the effort she put into them. I comprehended the four huge gardens. They helped to feed the family all winter long. I even recognized the flowers around the house. They were pretty and smelled so sweet in the summer months. The reason she put so much effort into caring for those potted plants, however, troubled me. They didn't give us any food and they rarely had any flowers on them. They remained a mystery to my child's mind.
Now as I've grown older, I am beginning to understand why my grandma had those potted plants. It is the same reason I have so many pictures of sunrises and forests hanging in my home. They remind me during the dark winter months full of bare trees and yellow grass that light, love and growth still exist. They remind me that spring will come again.
Today I see grandma's potted plants in a new light. They were worth every bit of the love and care she put into them. But my greatest reminder of light and love was grandma herself. Her love lives on in my heart although she is in Heaven. May we all learn to love as she loved, shine as she shined and live as she lived!
(1)、What does the author intend to tell in Paragraph 1?A、His family all enjoyed a peaceful life in the old house. B、His grandma brought beauty and brightness to life. C、His grandma always created surprises to them. D、The potted plants cost his grandma much energy.(2)、What made the author get into knots?A、The four huge vegetable gardens. B、The flowers planted around the house. C、The efforts grandma put in the gardens. D、The plants grandma took care of.(3)、What does the author learn from his grandma?A、He knows how to seek light and hope in life. B、He likes taking photos of sunrises and forests. C、He realizes potted plants are worth doing. D、He gradually falls in love with potted plants.(4)、Which can best describe the author's attitude to his grandma?A、Indifferent. B、Grateful. C、Cautious. D、Critical. -
