For years, I thought of a present and a gift as the same thing. I grew up in a household where presents marked special ______.

His joy in the hunt was proof of the ______ of giving and of his love for her. I came to see these presents as the ______ of a husband’s devotion. So when I married a man who did not give presents on a regular basis, it was an ______. I wrestled with my deep-rooted expectations. Gary did not ______ avoid gift-giving. Gary would return from sea armed with a brown paper bag inside of which was something that ______ him of me. But mostly, he ignored holidays, ______ to shop for a thing to present to me as a sign of his affection. I tried to change him ______. I prepared gifts for Christmas and for his birthdays ______. He appreciated the caring, but refused to do the same thing for me. I dropped hints, but they fell on ______ ears. I began to tell him what I wanted, giving ______ instructions. When Gary left for the market one Saturday, I asked him to find me diamond earrings as a birthday gift. Yet he came home with a road scraper (刮路机). ______ when the snowstorm hit later that year and he was at sea, I used the road scraper to plow ( 犁 ) out both our driveway and our neighbor’s, thinking how ______ earrings would have been and it was then that I finally realized he had been giving me gifts all along. The gestures, large and small, born of his caring and concern for the family were the ______ that he gave daily. We ______ to teach others how to love us. In that struggle, we often forget how to ______ the love they already give us as only they can give it. I finally began to understand the ______ between a present and a gift. A present is a thing. But a gift is broader and often abstract. It is a small act of kindness, the ______ to bend to another’s needs, the sacrifice of time and effort. Love is a gift.

A Portland, Oregon man has become the first person to travel across Antarctica by himself without receiving any assistance. Colin O’Brady has completed the 1,500-kilometer trip. He crossed the continent in 54 days. Friends, family and other people followed his progress through messages and pictures he left on social media. O’Brady spoke with his wife Jenna Besaw by telephone soon after he completed the journey. “It was an emotional call,” she said. “He seemed overwhelmed by love and appreciation, and he really wanted to say ‘thank you’ to all of us.” The 33-year-old O’Brady documented the trip on the social networking services Instagram. He called his journey “The Impossible First”. He wrote that he traveled the last 129 kilometers in one big, final push to the finish line. The distance took over one day to complete. O’Brady wrote, “While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced.” The day before, he wrote that he was “in the zone” and thought he could make it to the end without stopping. “I was listening to my body and taking care of the details to keep myself safe,” he wrote. “I called home and talked to my mom, sister and wife. I promised them I would stop when I need to.” Other people have traveled across Antarctica, but they all had some form of assistance. They either had better, more plentiful supplies or devices that helped move them forward. In 2016, British explorer Henry Worsley died in his attempt to travel alone across Antarctica unassisted. Worsley’s friend Louis Rudd, also from Britain, is attempting an unaided solo journey in Worsley’s honor. He was competing against O’Brady to be the first to do it. Besaw told the Associated Press that her husband plans to stay in Antarctica until Rudd finishes his trip. 【1】What did O’Brady think of his journey in Antarctica? A.It was pleasant. B.It was discouraging. C.It was impossible to complete. D.It was hard to complete. 【2】What did O’Brady promise his family? A.Making sure of his safety. B.Trying to achieve the goal. C.Keeping in touch with them. D.Stopping the travel halfway. 【3】Why does O’Brady still remain in Antarctica? A.To wait for another explorer. B.To compete with others. C.To help other explorers. D.To make his victory recognized. 【4】What might be a suitable title for the text? A.The Antarctic Continent B.The Impossible First C.Traveling in Antarctica D.An Incomplete Journey |

The peak of Mount Everest is the highest point in the world, which extends 29,029 feet (8,840 meters) above sea level. On Earth, mountains can’t grow much higher than Mount Everest. So what stops our planet’s mountains from growing forever? “There are two major reasons for that,” said Nadine McQuarrie, a professor in the department of geology at the University of Pittsburgh. The first reason is gravity. Many mountains form because of movements in Earth’s surface layer known as plate tectonics (板块构造论). This theory describes the Earth’s crust (壳) as mobile and dynamic, divided into large pieces that move around with time. When two plates crash, the impact forces materials on their touching edges to move upward. This is how the Himalayas mountain range, which includes Mount Everest, formed. “The plates keep pushing together and the mountain keeps growing, until it becomes too hard to do that work against gravity,” McQuarrie told Live Science. At some point the mountain becomes too heavy, and its own weight stops the upward growth caused by the crash of those two plates. But mountains can also form in other ways. Volcanic mountains, like those on the Hawaiian Islands, for example, form from boiling rock that erupts through the planet’s crust and begins piling up. “But no matter how mountains are formed, they eventually become too heavy and succumb to gravity,” McQuarrie said. In other words, if Earth had less gravity, its mountains would grow higher. That is indeed what happened on Mars. Mars’ Olympus Mons, the tallest known volcano in the solar system, extends 82,020 feet (25,000 meters) high, nearly three times taller than Mount Everest. The second reason relates to rivers. At first, rivers make mountains appear taller — they carve into the edge of the mountains and create deep cracks near a mountain’s base. But as rivers gradually destroy materials, their channels may become too steep. This can cause landslides (滑坡) that carry materials away from the mountain and limit its growth. 【1】What can we learn about Mount Everest? A.It continues growing slowly. B.It is formed by a volcanic eruption. C.Its heavy weight stops its further growth. D.Its peak is the highest point in the solar system. 【2】What do the underlined words “succumb to” in Paragraph 5 mean? A.Break away from. B.Give in to. C.Come up with. D.Get close to. 【3】What does the last paragraph imply? A.Mountains near rivers grow higher. B.Landslides occur frequently on high mountains. C.Rivers can also limit mountain growth. D.Rivers don’t limit mountain growth as much as gravity. 【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A.To explain why mountains can’t grow forever. B.To describe how mountains form. C.To list different kinds of mountains. D.To compare mountains on different planets. |

A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she suffered severely by self-criticism. This student, like many I teach, strongly believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. In her mind, “Nothing can stop me but myself”. So when these students fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are filled with self-blame, reasoning, “If my accomplishments are mine to control, my failures must be entirely my faults, too”, which makes it extremely difficult for them to move on. We often owe young adults struggling with failure to their parents’ overprotection of them from discomfort. But there is another factor at play: a message transmitted by indulging ( 纵容的 ) parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it. However, the cruel reality of life is that you can do everything in your power—and still fail. Then what should be done to help? Psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world, which may help them gain greater life satisfaction and become more psychologically mature. Besides, instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up when things don’t go their way, we might all question a culture where one is considered lazy without full devotion. The point is to remind them that life has a way of sucker-punching ( 出其不意) us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up the fastest. 【1】How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A.By analyzing some facts. B.By raising some questions. C.By giving an example. D.By defining a concept. 【2】The author believes that young adults find it hard to struggle with failure because ________. A.they are not taught how to deal with difficulties B.they are short of the ability to handle failure C.they are under the protection of their parents D.they are misled by their parents’ false message 【3】What did psychologists Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to do? A.To teach students how to avoid faults. B.To lead students to set their truly loved goals. C.To help students to discover a path to success. D.To allow kids to blame themselves. 【4】What can be inferred from the passage? A.Students don’t care about failure at all. B.Students are sure to succeed if they try their best. C.Students should bear all the failures on their own. D.Students with positive attitudes can move on more easily. |

The disease spreads to people through mosquito bites. Mosquito nets and insect-killing chemicals【9】 (help) people fight against malaria over the past 20 years. This is especially the case in African countries south of the Sahara Desert. However, mosquitoes in some areas are becoming resistant to chemical products.

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。 I was busy with my work when I noticed a very untidy man standing in the hall. He looked lost and possibly homeless, or maybe even drunken because he was unsteady on his feet. He made his way over to me and I asked if I could help him. He looked at me for a few minutes and thanked me for not judging him like everyone else. He finally said yes as he gave me some old papers. He asked if I could make him a copy of his military paperwork. As I made the copies he told me that he became injured in the war. I took a deep breath and simply replied, “Thank you for your service.” Then I noticed he was holding a small brown paper bag tightly. The bag was dirty so I asked him if he would like a plastic bag for his paperwork. He nodded and then asked me to hold out my hand. As I opened my hand he carefully placed two items in my hand. My eyes were filled with tears. This wonderful man had just placed his Purple Heart and a Silver Star into my hand. I gave him a salute just like a real soldier. I thanked him, one of the nation’s heroes, for his service again. He smiled and carefully placed his items back in his bag and started to walk away. I saw him take a few dollars from his pocket. He turned back and asked if we had a vending machine so he could get some cookies. I told him the right direction, but after looking at his money he put it back in his pocket and started to walk off the wrong way. I walked to him and asked if I could buy him some cookies. He refused, saying he didn’t want a handout and that he would eat something for lunch when he got home. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: I couldn’t let this hero go hungry. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then I rejoined him in the park. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
