1、 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 late spring when my mum and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with mum. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mum pulled over. "What are you doing?" I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and that we'd be stuck there, so far from home. Fortunately, that wasn't the case. My mum hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. "It'll just be a minute," she called back through the open windows.
Impatiently, I cast my eyes towards the edge of the road before they settled on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mum reappeared empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, "Do you know anyone there?" She shook her head. "Then what did you do with the flowers?" She smiled slightly, "I gave them to the receptionist(接待员)." "What?" She laughed at my confusion. "I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially those who haven't received any."
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we went on with our driving, I spoke again, "Did you leave your name?" To this she answered instantly, "No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough for me."
Suddenly, still thinking about mum's deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mum nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
注意:
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
I let out a sigh while my mum rooted herself against the car worrying about what could be done.
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.

So she 8 what she needed. She started by constructing a shelter. She walked to a stream three times a day to get fresh 9 and lived on pine needles and even bugs(小虫).
Ticking off the days, she 10 the six nights she and her dog had spent in the wilderness. All the while, she remained 11 , remembering that motto about a positive attitude.

5、 阅读下面短文,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。
Large meals make people full and sleepy. We want our children to learn, not falling asleep at their desks, so let's keep those lunches on the lighter side. You can do this if you provide them with a good breakfast.
By working beside your children and discussing what they eat for lunch, you are helping them understand the importance of whole foods and the avoidance of junk foods. As they get older, these good habits will stay with them. They will learn that these types of food are beneficial to them. Try to let them see that the food choices they are making will help them feel so much better.
I know of one family that actually had the food pyramid on the wall of their kitchen and it helped their children pick out what foods they wanted. Everyone got a chance to decide what to eat, but they had to pick protein, vegetables and fruit. Besides, the mother had a book with recipes for healthy foods. All of the recipes had pictures of what the food looked like. .
Unlike today, when we grew up we played outside, rode our bikes, ran around, and the list goes on and on. So apart from the above healthy eating choices, you need to plan some activities for your children today other than the television or video games.
A. We didn't have TV or computer games.
B. How are children helped to choose their food?
C. You are helping them make smart informed choices.
D. Think what large meals do to your children at school.
E. What adults eat daily has a great effect on their children.
F. So children knew what healthy foods they should choose.
G. The recipes for children should mainly include healthy foods.

6、 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。
In life, there are many opposite things, which cannot be united by many people. But there is always a chance to unite two different things in one work. The following passage will tell you more about the possibility of combining painting and poetry.
Perhaps, it is not a new idea that a great work can be created by combining paintings and poems. In this case, we can unite both things in two ways. The first way is to make the poem as the main inspiration for the painting. It is also possible to write a poem after looking at a painting.
What about the next idea to combine painting and poetry? Well, we can combine both of them on a canvas(画布). You can paint an oil painting on it and then write down the poem on that canvas. I do not know whether this kind of idea has been used for years. But this is quite a great new idea for me. It will make more people love painting and poetry at the same time. You will not need to read the poem on plain white paper any more.
A poem is a good way to represent a story or a thought. It is usually not too long and not easy to understand literally(字面上地). It is a series of words arranged in stanzas(诗节) and lines with rhymes, which are quite changeable. Therefore, combining it with another type of art (such as painting) will be very good. You can get the message of the poem through the colours on the canvas. All you need to do is use your creativity to make a painting with the right colours and with great words on it.
(1)、What does the author think of the combination of painting and poetry?A、Acceptable. B、Boring. C、Doubtful. D、Ridiculous.(2)、What can be inferred from the text?A、Poetry inspires us to paint but not the opposite. B、Any opposite things can be united through efforts. C、Painting and poetry are hard to combine together. D、The author hasn't combined painting and poetry on a canvas before.(3)、Which of the following is NOT the feature of a poem?A、Not being too long. B、Having fixed forms. C、Being representative. D、Having deep meanings.(4)、What do you need if you want to try to combine painting and poetry?A、Great creativity. B、Rich life experience. C、Good skills of painting. D、Good knowledge of poetry. -
7、 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。
A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent years as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.
Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
"The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011," said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we're talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in autumn, when bears are forced towards land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said, "I've been offering polar bear tours since 2004." Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development.
(1)、What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?A、Their growing numbers. B、Their preference for land. C、The global climate change. D、Their habitats' movement to the shore.(2)、What does the underlined word "plight" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Increase. B、Death. C、Dilemma. D、Reproduction.(3)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、Tourism affects the balance of nature. B、Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually. C、Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide. D、Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.(4)、Which of the following can best describe the text?A、The fittest can survive. B、Every coin has two sides. C、After a storm comes a calm. D、There is always opportunity in crisis. -
8、 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。
German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. "We are living in the time of garbage," says Schult. "I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves." Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
"They are social sculptures," he explains. "They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in the time of garbage." So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.
HA Schult's work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations. "Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living."
Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or whom artists are or should be.
You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organisers.
(1)、What do we know about Schult's sculptures?A、They served as garbage containers. B、They reflected environmental issues. C、They were first shown in Paris, France. D、They were to raise economic awareness.(2)、What do HA Schult's artistic works convey to us?A、An artist must be socially responsible. B、An artist must be as modest as possible. C、An artist must make garbage recyclable. D、An artist must take diverse artistic forms.(3)、What does the author probably agree according to the last two paragraphs?A、It takes talent to be a trash artist. B、Preset ideas are important to artists. C、Trash art can't be seen as a real art form. D、Average people can also be trash artists.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、What Are Social Sculptures? B、Could You Be a Trash Artist? C、Do You Know About Trash Art? D、How Can We Deal with Used Cans? -

10、 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 evening, a workman was exhaustedly making his way home after work, when he stopped to rest by the side of the road. A woman came by, pushing a cart full of flowers. The smell of her blossoms filled the air with sweetness and it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits. He had never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. "How much must I pay, or what must I do, to have some of your wonderful flowers?" he asked the woman.
"Oh, sir," she said, "take what you wish for."
"What return must I make for them?" he asked again.
"Your gratitude is enough," she said, "and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with you."
So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home. His wife and his children were also glad over the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
In order not to lose his valuable possession, the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land behind his house. Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic magic.
Every day, his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers. They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together. When children came to play near the flowers, the man over and over warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they would walk on the flowers and damage them. But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish(滋养) them. Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness, such comfort in sadness, such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure, the man became even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
注意:
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
He was determined to protect the flowers.
However, the flowers seemed to fade day by day, so the man went everywhere for help.

12、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Shi Jing, also called the Book of Songs, is the oldest existing (collect) of Chinese poetry. A few years ago, when Chinese musician Fang Jinlong read Shi Jing, he was interested in the stories in the poems. Because he couldn't (full) understand the ancient Chinese language (use) in the poems, he turned to experts to explore the poems.
Then he decided to portray the poems with musical language by inviting composer Ma Jiuyue (create) an album. Titled Music and the Book of Songs, the album was released on Jan. 18, (feature) 10 original songs composed by Ma. They (perform) by Fang and won great popularity.
The 10 songs are based on 10 poems from Shi Jing, including Qiong Yao, which conveys gratitude to people who are eager to help others, and Swallows, which (send) farewell messages to friends.
"Young people gave warm feedback about traditional Chinese music they had watched my performance. It has inspired me to create more works for them, which helps popularize traditional Chinese music," says Fang.
"The 10 pieces sound (enjoy) and easy. For the listeners, it's a fresh way to comprehend poems from Shi Jing," says Ma. "We spent three years working on project. There are so many meanings in the poems and we want to display them as deep as possible with music," Ma says. "It's our mutual goal to have traditional Chinese music reach a wider audience."

14、 阅读下面短文,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。
If poetry is not your cup of tea, then you will be afraid of the assignments that ask you to analyse poetry. However, even though you "hate" poetry, your final analysis may find you citing(引用) lines from Emily Dickinson or Edgar Allen Poe. .
Select the poem carefully. In a poem analysis, you will generally be given a selection of two or three poems. You must pick one to analyse. Be careful. Sometimes the shorter poems are very difficult poems. Often, longer poems are more like stories.
Research the poet. There will be research already performed on the poet you've selected. Often the poet's personal life has a direct effect on his or her works.
Research the poem. If you are analysing a poem, it is probably quite well known. Research and read about the poem. Other literary criticism can help you in your analysis. You must come up with a new thought and a new analysis for the poem. Simply copying someone else's ideas will not be enough.
Your outline should consist of an introduction, a thesis statement(论点), three pieces of analysis, and a conclusion to bring it all together. Put these basic sentences into an outline structure, which will make the writing of the paper much easier.
A. Create an outline.
B. Communicate with other readers first.
C. Here are some tips that help you analyse a poem.
D. However, remember not to copy, or ignore the original poem.
E. Many students select short poetry as their preference for analysis.
F. Read about the poet's life, history and style as you begin your analysis.
G. Become familiar with different poem structures before you finish the analysis.

15、 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。
No poem should ever be discussed or analysed, until it has been read aloud by someone, teachers or students. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling "interpretation(解释)" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and the teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than analysing it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is a criticism of life, and a heightening(提升) of life. It is an approach to the truth of feeling, and it can save your life. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
(1)、What should we do if we want to have a better understanding of a poem?A、Analyse it by oneself. B、Discuss it with others. C、Practise reading it aloud. D、Copy it down in a notebook.(2)、What might be the best way for a teacher to teach poetry?A、To have students recite a poem. B、To explain a poem again and again. C、To have students watch films of a poem. D、To have students listen to records of a poem.(3)、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A、Criticising life. B、Saving life. C、Heightening life. D、Extending life.(4)、What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply?A、Poetry is more important than any other subject. B、Attention should be paid to the teaching of poetry. C、Poetry is the foundation of language and literature. D、One cannot enjoy life fully without understanding poetry. -

Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament(性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticised injustice in the society through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited (继承) Chinese civilisation that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting, and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.
(1)、What can we conclude from the text?A、Only people in the Tang Dynasty created poems. B、The Tang Dynasty saw four famous poets altogether. C、Most common people were poets in the Tang Dynasty. D、The Tang Dynasty probably existed for about three centuries.(2)、Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A、Why the poets created poems. B、The editors of Poems of the Tang Dynasty. C、Other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty. D、The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.(3)、What does the underlined word "adjacent" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A、Strong. B、Rich. C、Poor. D、Neighbouring.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、The Great Tang Dynasty B、Poetry of the Tang Dynasty C、Famous Poets in the Tang Dynasty D、The Development of the Tang Dynasty -
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。
How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games online. Or maybe we're using the time between stops to do our make-up, catch up on emails, or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public transport every day that she is taking. The photographs catch those quiet and personal moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean their heads against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture captures one tiny moment in people's lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at someone's commute(上下班) and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
"What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day," Dina told My Modern Met. "My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you need is just to look around and find those magic moments."

Last week, I saw a program about Chongqing hotpot on TV. I was curious but planned a special one-day trip there with a friend of me. Our fast train was packing with passengers. A attendant gave us some travel brochures about Chongqing. When we arrived, we went straight a famous restaurant and ordered dishes, which tasted greatly. The atmosphere here made the meal all the more enjoyed. Hotpot is meant for families and friends to sit together, dip everything they like this in one pot, and shared friendship and love.
