While working at the Columbia Paper Bag company, she developed an automated system to fold paper bags—a process which up to that time was done by hand. She founded her own company, creating paper bags for groceries similar in form to the ones that would be used in later generations.Bette Nesmith Graham (1924-1980)As electric typewriters came into widespread use, Bette Nesmith Graham and countless other secretaries had a big problem—while the new machines made typing easier, it was impossible to correct mistakes neatly with an eraser. Graham wanted a solution to the problem, and she found it by watching painters decorating windows, who covered any imperfections with an additional layer. Graham copied their technique by using white, water based paint to cover her typing errors. Graham named the product “Liquid Paper” and the rest is history.Patricia Billings (1926-)Patricia Billings is a sculptor inventor, and businesswoman who invented Geobond, a building material that is strong and fire-proof. In the late 1970s, one of her sculptures fell and broke into pieces, so she began experimenting in her studio. Eight years later, she invented an additive that, when mixed with concrete, creates a very hard fire proof material. Nowadays, contractors use Geobond every day.Sally Fox (1959-)Sally Fox is a cotton grower who grows naturally colored varieties of cotton. She is the inventor of FoxFibre, which is recognized as the first species of long-fiber, naturally-colored cotton that can be made into thread on a machine, which could considerably reduce the amount of pollution that's created through dyeing (染色) fabrics.21.Which of the following inventions saves much human labor?A.An automated system to fold paper bags.B.Liquid Paper.C.Geobond.D.FoxFibre.22.What was Bette Nesmith Graham?A.A sculptor. B.A grower.C.A secretary. D.An engineer.23.Whose invention benefits the environment?A.Margaret Eloise Knight's.B.Bette Nesmith Graham's.C.Patricia Billings's.D.Sally Fox's.BDavid Bennett Sr., who was seriously ill and seeking a miracle, took the last bet on Jan. 7, when he became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center.Bennett, aged 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who'd received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (異種器官移植) could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient's body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplantation was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒).However, in recent years, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they're easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies, including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re edited to improve the heart's condition. Besides, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself.This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate.24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Bennett survived the surgery and has lived healthily since then.B.The operation on Bennett was successfully carried out.C.Xenotransplantation completely solves the problem of the shortage of replacement organs.D.Many patients have received the heart from a pig but failed to live as long as Bennett.25.What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3?A.The process of an xenotransplantation operation.B.The consequence of the xenotransplantation operation.C.The significance of the xenotransplantation operation.D.The past exploration of the xenotransplantation operation.26.What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation?A.Their growth speed and health condition.B.Their life pattern and resistance to viruses.C.Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth.D.Their investment value and natural qualities.27.Why was Bennett's operation considered as a breakthrough?A.It offered a possibility of replacement organs through gene editing.B.It proved the potential for using organs from various animals.C.It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants.D.It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection.CThe next time you have cheese, remember the French scientist Louis Pasteur who discovered that bad milk, and many diseases are caused by bacteria (細菌).Louis Pasteur is known as the father of microbiology. In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接種疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur's chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every child vaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.28.What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A.His discoveries weren't used at his time.B.He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C.He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D.His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.29.What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A.Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B.Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C.All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D.The weakened cholera couldn't kill the living creatures.30.What is the function of the process of vaccination?A.It builds up people's body.B.Without it, people will die.C.It improves people's ability to avoid diseases.D.It can kill all the diseases and make the sick healthy.31.Why does the author write the passage?A.Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B.Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C.Because he wants to call on children to learn from Louis Pasteur.D.Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.DA Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world's first, cloned wild arctic wolf via video—100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company's general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf—Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya's surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it's more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.From the world's first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.32.What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf's birth?A.To produce more endangered species through cloning.B.To help the scientists win an award.C.To promote the research cooperation.D.To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.33.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.B.Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.C.There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya's surrogate.D.Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya.34.What's the author's attitude toward cloning technology?A.Doubtful. B.Favorable.C.Objective. D.Opposed.35.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The Research on the Rare and Endangered AnimalsB.The Debut of the World's 1st Cloned Wild Arctic WolfC.The Beginning of the Cloning Technology ApplicationD.The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife Through Cloning Technology第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。How to develop a healthy lifestylein high schoolHigh school is a time known for teenagers spreading their wings and developing their minds. 36 Therefore, it is necessary for teenagers to develop a healthy lifestyle.

He was taught by his father, a professor of mathematics. In 1832, the family moved to Glasgow where Thomson attended university at the age of 10, then studied at Cambridge and Paris Universities. In 1846 he became professor of natural philosophy in Glasgow, a post he 41 for more than 50 years.In Glasgow, Thomson 42 the first physics laboratory in Britain. He was a pioneer in many different 43 , particularly electromagnetism (電磁學) and thermodynamics (熱力學). 44 Faraday (法拉第), he was responsible for the introduction of the 45 of an electromagnetic field where Thomson developed the work of the 46 of the subject, Nicolas Carnot and James Joule. One of the most 47 results of his work was his idea of an absolute zero of temperature—the scale based on this is named 48 him.Throughout his work Thomson's main goal was the practical use of science. He achieved 49 through his work on submarine telegraphy, a major practical problem of the day. He was 50 as a scientific adviser in the laying of the Atlantic telegraph cables in 1857-1858 and 1865-1866, for which he was knighted in 1866. His 51 in marine issues also inspired him to develop a mariners' compass and 52 a tide machine and depth measuring equipment. He invented many electrical instruments and his house in Glasgow was the first to be 53 by electric light.Thomson was raised to the noblemen with the 54 of Baron Kelvin of Largs in 1892. The Kelvin was a small river that flowed near Glasgow University and he was president of the royal Society from 1890 to 1895.

I know that this is good news. I feel extremely proud that Matthew will go to a great school. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying 56 (bitter). Maybe it's normal for most people. 57 (feel) rather depressed, I tell myself, “Pull yourself together!” There are parents sending their kids off to battle fields.One of the greatest gifts of my life is my boys, Matthew and John Owen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious and complicated bond (紐帶) between fathers and sons over the past years. By the time Saturday came around, I 58 (be) unable to enjoy the day's activities.Now, standing among Matthew's so many things including 59 collection of science magazines, all of a sudden, I realize it's me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing 60 (hold) on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed, 61 position is in the corner of the room, is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I remember wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times when we lay among the covers, reading books or magazines. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times when I was 62 (annoy) at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again.For his part, Matthew, who is an 63 (ambition) boy, has been a rock. He is treating the time to leave as just another day at home. After all, someone's got to be strong. The reason why I'm proud is 64 he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence. I myself am to blame 65 the feelings of sorrow and bitterness.56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 第四部分 寫作(共兩節,滿分40分)第一節(滿分15分)你校近期將舉辦一場以“科學精神(scientific spirit)”為主題的演講比賽,請你寫一篇發言稿參賽。注意:1.寫作詞數應為80個左右;2.可以適當增加細節,以使行文連貫。 第二節(滿分25分)閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。Brianna Kemp's father had to move her entire family from Chicago to a small town in Maryland after his business went bankrupt. He didn't lose faith in life, though, and decided to start his family's new life there.Along with the move came a new school for Brianna, who was 14 years old. She had a difficult time accepting the move, as she was a popular cheerleader at her school in Chicago. She also had a good set of friends, and she didn't exactly like meeting new people.When it was time to go to school, her father drove her there to wish her well. “Good luck, sweetheart. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you can do it. I know you can!” he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.“Thanks, Dad,” Brianna said quietly before leaving the car. While she was sad, Brianna didn't want her dad to worry even more, so she put on a brave smile and waved before her father drove away.When she got to the school, she was greeted by the school secretary, Mrs Keppler. “Hello, welcome to Chester Middle School! I'm going to give you a quick tour of the school,” she said.“Thank you,” Brianna responded shyly and nervously.Mrs Keppler showed Brianna around, pointing her to the cafeteria, the school auditorium, and the gym. They also passed through the art and music rooms, the science laboratories, and the kitchen.Finally, Brianna was led to the classroom and started her suffering first school day. Faced up with so many new faces, she made a brief self-introduction, still nervous. Then she was guided to sit in the back row alone. During the breaks, all the students seemed so familiar with each other. Brianna found it hard to start a conversation with any one of them, as they were always busy with their own friends. She felt like she was an outsider and didn't belong. What a suffering the first school day was! So were the following weeks.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150個左右;2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father. Over the next few weeks, things changed beyond Brianna's imagination. 第一單元檢測卷 時間:120分鐘 滿分:150分較易題(占比50%) 中檔題(占比40%) 拔高題(占比10%)題型 聽力 閱讀 七選五 完形填空 語法填空 應用文寫作 讀后續寫A B C D難度 ★ ★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★★第一部分 聽力(共兩節,滿分30分)第一節(共5小題;每小題1.5分,滿分7.5分) 掃一掃·聽錄音聽下面5段對話。每段對話后有一個小題,從題中所給的A、B、C三個選項中選出最佳選項。聽完每段對話后,你都有10秒鐘的時間來回答有關小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。Text 1M:I have an appointment to see Dr Gran for a physical exam.

The worst kinds of customers are those who are the most impatient people to serve, and then, they leave me nothing. A step above them is the second type of customers who must think they are great tippers. If they order a $5.95 beer, I get six dollars and be told to keep the change. Even so, these customers let me know they expect quick service. The next types are those who leave the normal fifteen percent tip. They are often quiet and orderly. These people are always welcome, especially after I've dealt with the other two types. But in the last type, I find my waitress's dream come true. These customers order a $5.95 and pay eight dollars with a cheerful “Keep the change”, even if the beer happens to come through slowly. To make things even nicer, these customers order the rest of the evening, adding big tips every time. The variety makes my job interesting, but I have to admit that I like the last two types best.18.How many types of customers are there according to the speaker?A.Three. B.Four.C.Five.答案:B19.What is the normal percentage for tipping?A.5%. B.8%.C.15%.答案:C20.What does the speaker talk about mainly?A.Payment. B.Service.C.Tipping.答案:C第二部分 閱讀(共兩節,滿分50分)第一節(共15小題;每小題2.5分,滿分37.5分)閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。AInventions by Women You MightNot Be Aware ofMargaret Eloise Knight (1838-1914)Margaret Eloise Knight was an American inventor, notably of the flat bottomed paper bag. While working at the Columbia Paper Bag company, she developed an automated system to fold paper bags—a process which up to that time was done by hand. She founded her own company, creating paper bags for groceries similar in form to the ones that would be used in later generations.Bette Nesmith Graham (1924-1980)As electric typewriters came into widespread use, Bette Nesmith Graham and countless other secretaries had a big problem—while the new machines made typing easier, it was impossible to correct mistakes neatly with an eraser. Graham wanted a solution to the problem, and she found it by watching painters decorating windows, who covered any imperfections with an additional layer. Graham copied their technique by using white, water based paint to cover her typing errors. Graham named the product “Liquid Paper” and the rest is history.Patricia Billings (1926-)Patricia Billings is a sculptor inventor, and businesswoman who invented Geobond, a building material that is strong and fire-proof. In the late 1970s, one of her sculptures fell and broke into pieces, so she began experimenting in her studio. Eight years later, she invented an additive that, when mixed with concrete, creates a very hard fire proof material. Nowadays, contractors use Geobond every day.Sally Fox (1959-)Sally Fox is a cotton grower who grows naturally colored varieties of cotton. She is the inventor of FoxFibre, which is recognized as the first species of long-fiber, naturally-colored cotton that can be made into thread on a machine, which could considerably reduce the amount of pollution that's created through dyeing (染色) fabrics.篇章導讀:本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了四位女性發明家及其發明成果。21.Which of the following inventions saves much human labor?A.An automated system to fold paper bags.B.Liquid Paper.C.Geobond.D.FoxFibre.答案:A解析:細節理解題。根據Margaret Eloise Knight (1838-1914)部分中的“While working at ... that time was done by hand.”可知,Margaret Eloise Knight (瑪格利特·埃洛伊絲·奈特)發明了一種折疊紙袋的自動化系統,該發明大大節約了人力。故選A。22.What was Bette Nesmith Graham?A.A sculptor. B.A grower.C.A secretary. D.An engineer.答案:C解析:細節理解題。根據Bette Nesmith Graham (1924-1980)部分中的“As electric typewriters ... had a big problem (隨著電動打字機的廣泛使用,Bette Nesmith Graham (貝蒂·尼斯密斯·格雷厄姆)和無數其他秘書都遇到了一個大問題)”可知,Bette Nesmith Graham是一名秘書。故選C。23.Whose invention benefits the environment?A.Margaret Eloise Knight's.B.Bette Nesmith Graham's.C.Patricia Billings's.D.Sally Fox's.答案:D解析:細節理解題。根據Sally Fox (1959-)部分中的“She is the inventor of ... created through dyeing (染色) fabrics.”可知,Sally Fox (薩莉·福克斯)種植的彩色棉花大大減少了織物染色所帶來的污染,由此可知,Sally Fox的發明對環境有益。故選D。BDavid Bennett Sr., who was seriously ill and seeking a miracle, took the last bet on Jan. 7, when he became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center.Bennett, aged 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who'd received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (異種器官移植) could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient's body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplantation was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒).However, in recent years, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they're easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies, including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re edited to improve the heart's condition. Besides, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself.This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了異種器官移植的發展及其成果。24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Bennett survived the surgery and has lived healthily since then.B.The operation on Bennett was successfully carried out.C.Xenotransplantation completely solves the problem of the shortage of replacement organs.D.Many patients have received the heart from a pig but failed to live as long as Bennett.答案:B解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“It creates the beat ... it is his heart (它創造了心跳;它產生了壓力;這是他的心臟)”可知,Bennett (班尼特)的手術很成功。故選B。25.What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3?A.The process of an xenotransplantation operation.B.The consequence of the xenotransplantation operation.C.The significance of the xenotransplantation operation.D.The past exploration of the xenotransplantation operation.答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“The earliest attempts ... in the early 20th century”“in the 1960s”以及“in 1983”可推知,作者想在第三段介紹異種器官移植手術的既往探索。故選D。26.What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation?A.Their growth speed and health condition.B.Their life pattern and resistance to viruses.C.Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth.D.Their investment value and natural qualities.答案:C解析:細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的“Pigs could be ideal ... adult human size in months.(豬可能是實現這個目的的理想選擇,因為它們很容易飼養,幾個月內就能達到成年人類的大小。)”可知,豬是異種移植中提供供體理想的選擇,是因為它們容易飼養且長得快。故選C。27.Why was Bennett's operation considered as a breakthrough?A.It offered a possibility of replacement organs through gene editing.B.It proved the potential for using organs from various animals.C.It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants.D.It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection.答案:A解析:細節理解題。根據最后一段“This medical breakthrough ... a good candidate.(這一醫學突破為心臟移植候選名單上20%的患者提供了另一種選擇,這些患者或是在等待過程中死亡或因病情嚴重而不適合接受心臟移植手術。)”可知,Bennett的手術被認為是一個突破,是因為它提供了通過基因編輯替代器官的可能性。故選A。CThe next time you have cheese, remember the French scientist Louis Pasteur who discovered that bad milk, and many diseases are caused by bacteria (細菌).Louis Pasteur is known as the father of microbiology. In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接種疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur's chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every child vaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.篇章導讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了法國微生物學家Louis Pasteur (路易斯·巴斯德)發現了疫苗接種,從而拯救了億萬人的生命。28.What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A.His discoveries weren't used at his time.B.He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C.He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D.His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.答案:B解析:細節理解題。根據第一段“The next time you have cheese ... are caused by bacteria (細菌).”可知,Louis Pasteur發現很多疾病是由細菌引起的,即他發現了細菌和疾病之間的聯系。故選B。29.What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A.Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B.Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C.All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D.The weakened cholera couldn't kill the living creatures.答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段“When Pasteur ... an antibody against it.”可知,有些雞感染了霍亂卻沒有死,因為它們感染的霍亂已經變弱了,由此可推知,變弱的霍亂無法殺死生物。故選D。30.What is the function of the process of vaccination?A.It builds up people's body.B.Without it, people will die.C.It improves people's ability to avoid diseases.D.It can kill all the diseases and make the sick healthy.答案:C解析:推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“We now know that ... it can fight them off.(我們現在知道,接種疫苗的過程會將一種變弱的細菌引入我們的身體。我們的身體通過產生抗體來對抗細菌。現在,當我們的身體遇到同樣的更強大的細菌時,它可以將它們擊退。)”可推知,疫苗接種的作用是它能提高人們避免疾病的能力。故選C。31.Why does the author write the passage?A.Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B.Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C.Because he wants to call on children to learn from Louis Pasteur.D.Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.答案:A解析:推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據最后一段中的“For every child ... to thank.”可知,本文講述了微生物學家Louis Pasteur發現了疫苗接種,從而拯救了億萬人的生命,由此可推知,本文的寫作目的在于緬懷這位偉大的科學家,銘記他的卓越貢獻。故選A。DA Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world's first, cloned wild arctic wolf via video—100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company's general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf—Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya's surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it's more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.From the world's first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼的相關情況,以及其帶來的影響。32.What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf's birth?A.To produce more endangered species through cloning.B.To help the scientists win an award.C.To promote the research cooperation.D.To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.答案:A解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Experts said its birth ... through cloning technology.”可知,該北極狼克隆的成功為培育更多珍稀瀕危動物開創了先河。故選A。33.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.B.Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.C.There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya's surrogate.D.Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya.答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“The cloning of the arctic wolf ... Zhao noted. (趙指出,北極狼的克隆是通過構建137個新胚胎完成的,隨后將85個胚胎移植到7只狗的子宮中,其中一只出生時是健康的狼——Maya(瑪雅)。)”可推知,研究人員經歷了反復實驗,才成功克隆出Maya。故選D。34.What's the author's attitude toward cloning technology?A.Doubtful. B.Favorable.C.Objective. D.Opposed.答案:C解析:推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段中的“When endangered species ... experts said. (專家表示,當一些地方的瀕危物種被發現時,利用冷凍技術保存的細胞進行克隆也可以產生新的生命。)”可知,作者呈現了克隆技術對瀕危物種的價值;再根據最后一段中的“However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. (然而,一些人提出了與克隆北極狼有關的爭議。)”可知,作者呈現了對克隆技術的質疑。由此可推知,作者對這一技術持客觀態度。故選C。35.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The Research on the Rare and Endangered AnimalsB.The Debut of the World's 1st Cloned Wild Arctic WolfC.The Beginning of the Cloning Technology ApplicationD.The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife Through Cloning Technology答案:B解析:標題判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據第一段中的“A Beijing-based gene firm ... cloned wild arctic wolf via video (北京一家基因公司周一通過視頻宣布,世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼首次亮相)”可知,本文主要圍繞著第一只克隆的北極狼展開,因此B項(世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼首次亮相)最適合作為文章標題。故選B。第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。How to develop a healthy lifestylein high schoolHigh school is a time known for teenagers spreading their wings and developing their minds. 36 Therefore, it is necessary for teenagers to develop a healthy lifestyle.

I know that this is good news. I feel extremely proud that Matthew will go to a great school. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can't stop crying 56 (bitter). Maybe it's normal for most people. 57 (feel) rather depressed, I tell myself, “Pull yourself together!” There are parents sending their kids off to battle fields.One of the greatest gifts of my life is my boys, Matthew and John Owen. Through them, I have explored the mysterious and complicated bond (紐帶) between fathers and sons over the past years. By the time Saturday came around, I 58 (be) unable to enjoy the day's activities.Now, standing among Matthew's so many things including 59 collection of science magazines, all of a sudden, I realize it's me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing 60 (hold) on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed, 61 position is in the corner of the room, is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I remember wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times when we lay among the covers, reading books or magazines. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times when I was 62 (annoy) at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again.For his part, Matthew, who is an 63 (ambition) boy, has been a rock. He is treating the time to leave as just another day at home. After all, someone's got to be strong. The reason why I'm proud is 64 he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

He didn't lose faith in life, though, and decided to start his family's new life there.Along with the move came a new school for Brianna, who was 14 years old. She had a difficult time accepting the move, as she was a popular cheerleader at her school in Chicago. She also had a good set of friends, and she didn't exactly like meeting new people.When it was time to go to school, her father drove her there to wish her well. “Good luck, sweetheart. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you can do it. I know you can!” he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.“Thanks, Dad,” Brianna said quietly before leaving the car. While she was sad, Brianna didn't want her dad to worry even more, so she put on a brave smile and waved before her father drove away.When she got to the school, she was greeted by the school secretary, Mrs Keppler. “Hello, welcome to Chester Middle School! I'm going to give you a quick tour of the school,” she said.“Thank you,” Brianna responded shyly and nervously.Mrs Keppler showed Brianna around, pointing her to the cafeteria, the school auditorium, and the gym. They also passed through the art and music rooms, the science laboratories, and the kitchen.Finally, Brianna was led to the classroom and started her suffering first school day. Faced up with so many new faces, she made a brief self-introduction, still nervous. Then she was guided to sit in the back row alone. During the breaks, all the students seemed so familiar with each other. Brianna found it hard to start a conversation with any one of them, as they were always busy with their own friends. She felt like she was an outsider and didn't belong. What a suffering the first school day was! So were the following weeks.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150個左右;2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father.

The worst kinds of customers are those who are the most impatient people to serve, and then, they leave me nothing. A step above them is the second type of customers who must think they are great tippers. If they order a $5.95 beer, I get six dollars and be told to keep the change. Even so, these customers let me know they expect quick service.The next types are those who leave the normal fifteen percent tip. They are often quiet and orderly. These people are always welcome, especially after I've dealt with the other two types. But in the last type, I find my waitress's dream come true. These customers order a $5.95 and pay eight dollars with a cheerful “Keep the change”, even if the beer happens to come through slowly. To make things even nicer, these customers order the rest of the evening, adding big tips every time. The variety makes my job interesting, but I have to admit that I like the last two types best.18.How many types of customers are there according to the speaker?A.Three. B.Four.C.Five.19.What is the normal percentage for tipping?A.5%. B.8%.C.15%.20.What does the speaker talk about mainly?A.Payment.

While working at the Columbia Paper Bag company, she developed an automated system to fold paper bags—a process which up to that time was done by hand. She founded her own company, creating paper bags for groceries similar in form to the ones that would be used in later generations.Bette Nesmith Graham (1924-1980)As electric typewriters came into widespread use, Bette Nesmith Graham and countless other secretaries had a big problem—while the new machines made typing easier, it was impossible to correct mistakes neatly with an eraser. Graham wanted a solution to the problem, and she found it by watching painters decorating windows, who covered any imperfections with an additional layer. Graham copied their technique by using white, water based paint to cover her typing errors. Graham named the product “Liquid Paper” and the rest is history.Patricia Billings (1926-)Patricia Billings is a sculptor inventor, and businesswoman who invented Geobond, a building material that is strong and fire-proof. In the late 1970s, one of her sculptures fell and broke into pieces, so she began experimenting in her studio. Eight years later, she invented an additive that, when mixed with concrete, creates a very hard fire proof material. Nowadays, contractors use Geobond every day.Sally Fox (1959-)Sally Fox is a cotton grower who grows naturally colored varieties of cotton. She is the inventor of FoxFibre, which is recognized as the first species of long-fiber, naturally-colored cotton that can be made into thread on a machine, which could considerably reduce the amount of pollution that's created through dyeing (染色) fabrics.篇章導讀:本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了四位女性發明家及其發明成果。21.Which of the following inventions saves much human labor?A.An automated system to fold paper bags.B.Liquid Paper.C.Geobond.D.FoxFibre.解析:細節理解題。根據Margaret Eloise Knight (1838-1914)部分中的“While working at ... that time was done by hand.”可知,Margaret Eloise Knight (瑪格利特·埃洛伊絲·奈特)發明了一種折疊紙袋的自動化系統,該發明大大節約了人力。故選A。22.What was Bette Nesmith Graham?A.A sculptor. B.A grower.C.A secretary. D.An engineer.解析:細節理解題。根據Bette Nesmith Graham (1924-1980)部分中的“As electric typewriters ... had a big problem (隨著電動打字機的廣泛使用,Bette Nesmith Graham (貝蒂·尼斯密斯·格雷厄姆)和無數其他秘書都遇到了一個大問題)”可知,Bette Nesmith Graham是一名秘書。故選C。23.Whose invention benefits the environment?A.Margaret Eloise Knight's.B.Bette Nesmith Graham's.C.Patricia Billings's.D.Sally Fox's.解析:細節理解題。根據Sally Fox (1959-)部分中的“She is the inventor of ... created through dyeing (染色) fabrics.”可知,Sally Fox (薩莉·福克斯)種植的彩色棉花大大減少了織物染色所帶來的污染,由此可知,Sally Fox的發明對環境有益。故選D。BDavid Bennett Sr., who was seriously ill and seeking a miracle, took the last bet on Jan. 7, when he became the first human to be successfully transplanted with the heart of a pig. “It creates the beat; it creates the pressure; it is his heart,” declared Bartley Griffith, director of the surgical team that performed the operation at the University of Maryland Medical Center.Bennett, aged 57, held on through 60 tomorrows, far longer than any previous patient who'd received a heart from another species. His remarkable run offered new hope that such procedures, known as xenotransplantation (異種器官移植) could help relieve the shortage of replacement organs, saving thousands of lives each year.The earliest attempts at xenotransplantation of organs, involving kidneys from rabbits, goats, and other animals, occurred in the early 20th century, decades before the first successful human-to-human transplants. Rejection, which occurs when the recipient's body system recognizes the donor organ as a foreign object and attacks it, followed within hours or days. Results improved after some special drugs arrived in the 1960s, but most recipients still died after a few weeks. The record for a heart xenotransplantation was set in 1983, when an infant named Baby Fae survived for 20 days with an organ from a baboon (狒狒).However, in recent years, advances in gene editing have opened a new possibility: re-edit some genes in animals to provide user friendly spare parts. Pigs could be ideal for this purpose, because they're easy to raise and reach adult human size in months. Some biotech companies, including Revivicor, are investing heavily in the field. The donor pig was offered by Revivicor from a line of animals in which 10 genes had been re edited to improve the heart's condition. Besides, the pig was raised in isolation and tested regularly for viruses that could infect humans or damage the organ itself.This medical breakthrough provided an alternative for the 20% of patients on the heart transplant waiting list who die while waiting or become too sick to be a good candidate.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了異種器官移植的發展及其成果。24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Bennett survived the surgery and has lived healthily since then.B.The operation on Bennett was successfully carried out.C.Xenotransplantation completely solves the problem of the shortage of replacement organs.D.Many patients have received the heart from a pig but failed to live as long as Bennett.解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“It creates the beat ... it is his heart (它創造了心跳;它產生了壓力;這是他的心臟)”可知,Bennett (班尼特)的手術很成功。故選B。25.What does the author intend to show in Paragraph 3?A.The process of an xenotransplantation operation.B.The consequence of the xenotransplantation operation.C.The significance of the xenotransplantation operation.D.The past exploration of the xenotransplantation operation.解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“The earliest attempts ... in the early 20th century”“in the 1960s”以及“in 1983”可推知,作者想在第三段介紹異種器官移植手術的既往探索。故選D。26.What makes pigs ideal for providing spare parts in xenotransplantation?A.Their growth speed and health condition.B.Their life pattern and resistance to viruses.C.Their easiness of keeping and rapid growth.D.Their investment value and natural qualities.解析:細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的“Pigs could be ideal ... adult human size in months.(豬可能是實現這個目的的理想選擇,因為它們很容易飼養,幾個月內就能達到成年人類的大小。)”可知,豬是異種移植中提供供體理想的選擇,是因為它們容易飼養且長得快。故選C。27.Why was Bennett's operation considered as a breakthrough?A.It offered a possibility of replacement organs through gene editing.B.It proved the potential for using organs from various animals.C.It guaranteed a sufficient supply of donor pigs for transplants.D.It introduced new medications to prevent organ rejection.解析:細節理解題。根據最后一段“This medical breakthrough ... a good candidate.(這一醫學突破為心臟移植候選名單上20%的患者提供了另一種選擇,這些患者或是在等待過程中死亡或因病情嚴重而不適合接受心臟移植手術。)”可知,Bennett的手術被認為是一個突破,是因為它提供了通過基因編輯替代器官的可能性。故選A。CThe next time you have cheese, remember the French scientist Louis Pasteur who discovered that bad milk, and many diseases are caused by bacteria (細菌).Louis Pasteur is known as the father of microbiology. In his lifetime, he not only proved that bacteria are the cause of diseases, but also discovered the process of vaccination (接種疫苗) which has saved billions of lives.When Pasteur worked with chickens that were suffering from cholera during his experiments, he accidentally spread cholera to his chickens. Pasteur's chickens became mildly sick but did not die. This was strange as every chicken that came near cholera earlier had died. He realized soon that the cholera had become weak. By the time he tried again, the chickens he had cured earlier did not get cholera anymore. He realized that a weak cholera helped his chickens develop an antibody against it.Later, Pasteur went on to try this on cows, pigs and dogs. All his research helped him develop different vaccines. We now know that the process of vaccination introduces a weakened kind of bacteria into our body. Our body reacts by creating antibodies to fight the bacteria. Now, when our body comes across the same bacteria which are much stronger, it can fight them off.Louis Pasteur received numerous awards for the advancement of biology, chemistry, and medicine. He founded the Pasteur Institute to study diseases. It was the first university to teach microbiology and today there are 32 institutes across 29 countries. For every child vaccinated against a deadly disease, we have Louis Pasteur to thank.篇章導讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了法國微生物學家Louis Pasteur (路易斯·巴斯德)發現了疫苗接種,從而拯救了億萬人的生命。28.What do we know about Louis Pasteur?A.His discoveries weren't used at his time.B.He discovered the connection between bacteria and diseases.C.He was a professor at the Pasteur Institute.D.His discoveries brought many profits and awards to him.解析:細節理解題。根據第一段“The next time you have cheese ... are caused by bacteria (細菌).”可知,Louis Pasteur發現很多疾病是由細菌引起的,即他發現了細菌和疾病之間的聯系。故選B。29.What can we learn from his experiment with chickens?A.Cholera was not a deadly disease then.B.Pasteur spread cholera to chickens on purpose.C.All chickens suffered from cholera died at last.D.The weakened cholera couldn't kill the living creatures.解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段“When Pasteur ... an antibody against it.”可知,有些雞感染了霍亂卻沒有死,因為它們感染的霍亂已經變弱了,由此可推知,變弱的霍亂無法殺死生物。故選D。30.What is the function of the process of vaccination?A.It builds up people's body.B.Without it, people will die.C.It improves people's ability to avoid diseases.D.It can kill all the diseases and make the sick healthy.解析:推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“We now know that ... it can fight them off.(我們現在知道,接種疫苗的過程會將一種變弱的細菌引入我們的身體。我們的身體通過產生抗體來對抗細菌。現在,當我們的身體遇到同樣的更強大的細菌時,它可以將它們擊退。)”可推知,疫苗接種的作用是它能提高人們避免疾病的能力。故選C。31.Why does the author write the passage?A.Because he wants to honour Louis Pasteur and his contribution to the world.B.Because he wants to show the discoveries of the vaccination.C.Because he wants to call on children to learn from Louis Pasteur.D.Because he wants to introduce an important invention in microbiology.解析:推理判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據最后一段中的“For every child ... to thank.”可知,本文講述了微生物學家Louis Pasteur發現了疫苗接種,從而拯救了億萬人的生命,由此可推知,本文的寫作目的在于緬懷這位偉大的科學家,銘記他的卓越貢獻。故選A。DA Beijing-based gene firm on Monday announced the debut (首次亮相) of the world's first, cloned wild arctic wolf via video—100 days after its birth in a Beijing lab. Experts said its birth pioneers the breeding of more rare and endangered animals through cloning technology.“To save the endangered animal, we started the research cooperation with Harbin Polarland on cloning the arctic wolf in 2020. After two years of painstaking efforts, the arctic wolf was cloned successfully. It is the first case of its kind in the world,” Mi Jidong, the company's general manager of the Beijing-based Sinogene Biotechnology Co., said at a press conference in Beijing.Born on June 10, the wolf, named Maya, is in very good health. Its donor cell came from the skin sample of a wild female arctic wolf, which had been introduced from Canada to Harbin Polarland. The cloning of the arctic wolf was accomplished by constructing 137 new embryos (胚胎), followed by the transfer of 85 embryos to the uteri of seven dogs, of which one was born as a healthy wolf—Maya, Zhao noted. The selection of a dog as Maya's surrogate (代孕) was made because dogs share genetic ancestry with ancient wolves and it's more likely to succeed through cloning technology, experts said.He Zhengming, the head of Chinese Experimental Animal Resources Research Institute for Food and Drug Control, said that the cloned animals still have the ability to reproduce if they have intact fertilized eggs. The cloning technology can copy all genetic information for selective breeding, and in this way, it diversifies the population of endangered animals.From the world's first mammal clone “Dolly”, cloning technology has provided the possibility to diversify the populations of some species such as cattle, pigs and horses. When endangered species in some places are identified, cloning of cells preserved from freezing technologies could also generate new life, experts said.However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. Sun Quanhui, a scientist from the World Animal Protection organization, insisted that cloning technology has made great progress since its birth, but it is still being perfected and in the exploratory stage of research, and there are many technical and ethical issues that need to be tackled and treated with caution.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼的相關情況,以及其帶來的影響。32.What is the significance of the first cloned wild arctic wolf's birth?A.To produce more endangered species through cloning.B.To help the scientists win an award.C.To promote the research cooperation.D.To increase the profit of wildlife reserves.解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Experts said its birth ... through cloning technology.”可知,該北極狼克隆的成功為培育更多珍稀瀕危動物開創了先河。故選A。33.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Maya is the first cloned arctic wolf in the world.B.Wild arctic wolves are easily available in Harbin Polarland.C.There is no scientific support for choosing a dog as Maya's surrogate.D.Researchers experienced trial and error to achieve the successful birth of Maya.解析:推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“The cloning of the arctic wolf ... Zhao noted. (趙指出,北極狼的克隆是通過構建137個新胚胎完成的,隨后將85個胚胎移植到7只狗的子宮中,其中一只出生時是健康的狼——Maya(瑪雅)。)”可推知,研究人員經歷了反復實驗,才成功克隆出Maya。故選D。34.What's the author's attitude toward cloning technology?A.Doubtful. B.Favorable.C.Objective. D.Opposed.解析:推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段中的“When endangered species ... experts said. (專家表示,當一些地方的瀕危物種被發現時,利用冷凍技術保存的細胞進行克隆也可以產生新的生命。)”可知,作者呈現了克隆技術對瀕危物種的價值;再根據最后一段中的“However, some raised controversy relating to the cloned arctic wolf. (然而,一些人提出了與克隆北極狼有關的爭議。)”可知,作者呈現了對克隆技術的質疑。由此可推知,作者對這一技術持客觀態度。故選C。35.Which is the best title of the passage?A.The Research on the Rare and Endangered AnimalsB.The Debut of the World's 1st Cloned Wild Arctic WolfC.The Beginning of the Cloning Technology ApplicationD.The Conservation of Endangered Wildlife Through Cloning Technology解析:標題判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據第一段中的“A Beijing-based gene firm ... cloned wild arctic wolf via video (北京一家基因公司周一通過視頻宣布,世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼首次亮相)”可知,本文主要圍繞著第一只克隆的北極狼展開,因此B項(世界上第一只克隆的野生北極狼首次亮相)最適合作為文章標題。故選B。第二節(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。How to develop a healthy lifestyle in high schoolHigh school is a time known for teenagers spreading their wings and developing their minds. 36 Therefore, it is necessary for teenagers to develop a healthy lifestyle. Follow the tips to live a healthy lifestyle. 37 With studying and homework, high school students stay up late and still make it to early class. To function properly, your body and mind need at least eight hours of sleep each night. Go to sleep early enough to get your full requirement, and encourage your roommates to respect your need for enough sleep.Eat a well-balanced diet. High school students may live on a diet of junk food and drinks. 38 If you have the benefit of a meal plan in the high school canteen, make good use of the salad bar and watch out for treats such as ice cream.Exercise regularly. 39 High school students who exercise regularly benefit from a healthy physique (體格) and a mind with less stress.

All my sadness and longing 60 (hold) on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed, 61 position is in the corner of the room, is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I remember wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight.” I think of all the times when we lay among the covers, reading books or magazines. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times when I was 62 (annoy) at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again.For his part, Matthew, who is an 63 (ambition) boy, has been a rock. He is treating the time to leave as just another day at home.

He didn't lose faith in life, though, and decided to start his family's new life there.Along with the move came a new school for Brianna, who was 14 years old. She had a difficult time accepting the move, as she was a popular cheerleader at her school in Chicago. She also had a good set of friends, and she didn't exactly like meeting new people.When it was time to go to school, her father drove her there to wish her well. “Good luck, sweetheart. I know this is going to be difficult for you, but you can do it. I know you can!” he said, giving her a kiss on the forehead.“Thanks, Dad,” Brianna said quietly before leaving the car. While she was sad, Brianna didn't want her dad to worry even more, so she put on a brave smile and waved before her father drove away.When she got to the school, she was greeted by the school secretary, Mrs Keppler. “Hello, welcome to Chester Middle School! I'm going to give you a quick tour of the school,” she said.“Thank you,” Brianna responded shyly and nervously.Mrs Keppler showed Brianna around, pointing her to the cafeteria, the school auditorium, and the gym. They also passed through the art and music rooms, the science laboratories, and the kitchen.Finally, Brianna was led to the classroom and started her suffering first school day. Faced up with so many new faces, she made a brief self-introduction, still nervous. Then she was guided to sit in the back row alone. During the breaks, all the students seemed so familiar with each other. Brianna found it hard to start a conversation with any one of them, as they were always busy with their own friends. She felt like she was an outsider and didn’t belong. What a suffering the first school day was! So were the following weeks.注意:1.續寫詞數應為150個左右;2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍Over the next few weeks, things changed beyond Brianna's imagination. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍寫前導讀:本文是一篇記敘文。Brianna Kemp (布麗安娜·坎普)跟著父母搬家,離開了原來的城市,因此她不得不轉學到新的學校,她在新學校舉步維艱,感覺自己像個局外人。父親會如何鼓勵她融入新的環境?Brianna最終有何轉變呢?[精彩范文]When the day was finally over, Brianna shared her day with her father. Hearing what Brianna said, her father smiled, “New life means not only new challenges but also opportunities. It all depends on you.” Inspired by what her father said, Brianna was determined to adjust herself to fit in here. She knew that it wasn't easy, and she needed to make an effort. During the breaks, she encouraged herself to reach out to some of those who were talkative, actively involved in their conversations. To her surprise, most of them were easy to get along with.Over the next few weeks, things changed beyond Brianna's imagination. Brianna got to know more classmates and even befriended them. They started spending time together outside of school. They chatted about their interests and had fun together after school, and supported each other during tough times. Thanks to her courage, Brianna was finally able to break into her class's social circle at the new school. She was delighted that she took the initiative to reach out first, which made her school experiences much more enjoyable. 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 01 第一單元檢測卷.mp3 第一單元檢測卷.docx 第一單元檢測卷.pptx 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
