About 50 feet from shore, two brothers were fighting for their lives. They had been swept out to sea in a rip current, their mouths barely able to stay above the water. Thick fog made it difficult for beachgoers on Northern California’s Trinidad State Beach to see the guys, but the screams were unmistakable. The brothers, ages 15 and 20, were wearing shorts and T-shirts, unsuitable for a November day, let alone the 50-degree water. Luckily, four surfers in wet suits were nearby. Narayan Weibel, Spenser Stratton, and Adrian York, all 16, along with Tai Ortiz-beck, 15, were on their surf boards riding up and down the coast on five-foot waves when hearing the cries. They turned and saw two heads moving up and down repeatedly and four flailing arms. “We looked at each other and knew these guys were about to drown”, Weibel told the Washington Post. Weibel, Stratton and Ortiz-beck paddled (划) toward the distressed swimmers while York headed to shore to warn someone to call 911. He then dived back in to help his friends. As the surfers drew close, the brothers were struggling. Ortiz-beck pulled up alongside the younger brother. Grabbing him under his arms, he lifted him up onto his board. Stratton and Weibel, meanwhile, were trying their help the older brother. He was large, 250 to 300 pounds, and panicked. York arrived in time to help get the older brother at the top of the second board. The surfers then paddled several minutes through rough water to the medical help waiting onshore. The brothers were scared but fine. “When we get a call like this one, it’s usually too late by the time we get there”, says Dillon Clevenger, a first responder. “I can’t say enough about what these surfers did. They were willing and prepared to risk their lives.” 【1】What does the underlined word “flailing” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Desperately-waving. B.Tightly-crossed. C.Seriously-injured. D.Fully-open. 【2】Why did York make his way to the shore? A.To warn swimmers of danger. B.To make an easy dive. C.To have someone call for help. D.To pull up the brother. 【3】What can we learn from the words of Dillon? A.The accident was hard to avoid. B.The surfers were brave and heroic. C.The first responder got a call too late. D.Swimming in the sea was not permitted. 【4】What’s the best title of the passage? A.A Report about Surfing B.Two Brothers Fighting for Lives C.An Adventure on Shore D.Surfers Coming to the Rescue |

During the Second World War, Dr. William Walsh served on a U.S. Navy ship in the South Pacific. While serving there, Walsh observed the poor health conditions in which the people of the South Pacific lived. After the war ended in 1945, Walsh founded an organization called Project Hope. Its goal was to bring health education and care to people in poor countries around the world. In 1958, Walsh convinced U.S. President Eisenhower to allow Project Hope to rent a U.S. Navy hospital ship for just one dollar a year. Many companies and ordinary people donated money to Project Hope. The organization used the funds to turn the navy ship into a civilian hospital ship called the SS Hope. During the next 14 years, the SS Hope traveled to every region of the world. Wherever it went, it provided health care for needy people and helped poor countries establish their own health care systems. In 1974, the SS Hope was retired from service, and Project Hope began to provide health care on land instead. The story of the SS Hope inspired Don and Deyon Stephens to buy a passenger ship in 1978 and transform it into another hospital ship. Since then, their organization, called Mercy Ships, has sent ships equipped with medical supplies and hospital beds around the world. Doctors volunteer to travel on these ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them. They car correct people’s vision, straighten bent limbs, fix cleft palates (腭裂), remove facial tumors (肿痛) and more. Mercy Ships also provides medical equipment for local health clinics and builds medical facilities.

Growing up, “family” meant something very different to Bianca Jones Marlin. Her biological parents provided attendance to multiple children, giving Marlin the joy of having many brothers and sisters from different backgrounds. On occasions, she would stay up late listening to the stories from their past homes-stories filled with suffering and sadness. These stories had a lasting impact on Marlin. “There were stories of abuse, of not getting the proper nutrition or proper care that a child would need,” Marlin says. “Taking my passion for science and what I’ve learned from the stories, and putting them together is what I really want to do.” Today as a neurobiologist, Marlin researches how suffering can be passed down from generation to generation. At Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, she studies the molecular mechanisms of stresses in parents that can affect the brain structure and e sensory experiences of their future generations. Marlin’s investigations examine a process known as epigenetic inheritance, in which biochemical markers acquired from experiences or environmental conditions can change how our genes are expressed inside of cells. In the case of the mice she works with, Marlin creates a stressful association with a particular smell, which in turn increases the number of olfactory cells inside the mice’s brains used to detect that specific smell. She then looks at whether or not the children are born with more of these olfactory cells as a result of their parent’s suffering. If that proves to be true, Marlin plans to find and potentially even affect the epigenetic switches responsible for changing the children’s biology or behavior-eventually improving the outcomes for the children. “The passion of my work stems from my desire to apply neurobiology and the science of learning to understanding how both positive and negative experiences in life influence brain health.” says Marlin. 【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? A.Marlin’s interest in science. B.Marlin’s suffering in children. C.The influence of the stories on Marlin. D.The brief introduction to Marlin’s family. 【2】What is the function of olfactory cells? A.To sense specific stress. B.To lessen the mice’s suffering. C.To change epigenetic inheritance. D.To discover some particular smell. 【3】What can be learned from Paragraph 3? A.Olfactory cells decrease in the mice in the test. B.Marlin has improved the outcomes for the children. C.Biochemical markers are likely to change gene expression. D.Parents’ suffering can’t be passed down to their children. 【4】Where is the text probably from? A.A science magazine. B.A travel journal. C.An exhibition guidebook. D.A literature review. |

When should you worry about your teens? Many parents feel alarmed about how much their teen has changed, practically overnight, from their sweet, innocent child to a moody, rough teenager. 【1】 That’s what they have to experience based on their stage in development. It can be hard to tell what to worry about, but first, know what is normal. Adaptation, for example, can be challenging for everyone. Starting high school and graduating are natural points for stress. 【2】 What we expect is this anxiety will fade relatively quickly, in a few weeks or so. Kids are learning to adapt and getting in their own experience for their future life. However, anxiety that lasts can be a red flag. Anxiety doesn’t always look like what you’d expect. 【3】 It can also be physical like stomachaches, headaches or tense muscles. If this sounds like a teen you live with, there are ways to help get them back on track to success and managing anxiety well. You can talk to them, sending them a message that they don’t have to go through this alone and encourage self-care through sleep routines, showering, exercise or even eating. 【4】 The constant surfing on the internet is hard on anxiety and affects sleep. Think about ways to get your child to turn off’ before bed like reading or a quiet hobby, focusing on helping them go to sleep and wake up at a consistent time. Finally, know that treatment is very effective for practical anxiety management. 【5】 A.In fact, this is typically normal. B.It never hurts to consult a professional. C.These changes may bring on some anxiety. D.Try to find out how it affects a teen’s functioning. E.You may feel painful watching your child struggle. F.Managing devices and social media is another challenge. G.It can be a lot of worrying and questioning about things which are safe. |

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 freezing January night. Lydia Chen was struggling home from school. How she hated the heavy snow and everything else about Vancouver, Canada. How she missed China!" I hate it here! I want to fly back to my homeland! “Lydia thought. Arriving home, Lydia opened her Email-box. There was an invitation to Maggie’s birthday party this coming weekend. However, Lydia didn’t want to go. She felt embarrassed at the thought of being at a party with a bunch of boys and girls she barely knew. She closed her eyes and pictured her hometown at this time of the year, the red Spring Festival couplets, the red lanterns, window decorations and paper-cuttings every here and there. In the stands along the streets, various Spring Festival goods were on display. What happy days! Lydia Chen sighed deeply and entered the kitchen to find her mother. She was busy cooking. “Maybe I should go just once for Mum. She is so worried that it’s difficult for me to make friends in my new school.” Lydia went over and tied an apron around her waist. As she was washing dishes, she told her mother that she had been invited to a birthday party on weekend. Mum smiled, saying that she would be happier in their new home here. Lydia nodded, thinking Vancouver could never be her home Mum drove Lydia to the birthday party on Saturday evening. Maggie welcomed her at the door and led her into the dining room. To her surprise, over twenty students from her class were seated around the table waiting for her. They were drinking, laughing and chatting loudly after a simple greeting to Lydia. Wow, she loved being ignored since she could be herself. She decided to silently give the birthday gift to Maggie without being noticed. As she was taking out the Chinese paper-cutting she prepared with the help of her Mum, Maggie yelled out “Amazing! How did you make it?” The others joined, staring at Lydia with admiration. Lydia’s face was shining with excitement. “Maybe I could fit in here-a little.” she thought. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With the party going on, the talk turned to the coming holidays. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Noticing their admiring eyes, Lydia was filled with a feeling of belongingness. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
