“GOING,GOING, GONE, for $3 to bidder No. 43, the lady in the last row, white hat.” The auctioneer (拍卖师） called out my auction number and location. Delighted at my victory, I took the box and gave it a shake. The contents rattled. Inside were dozens -- maybe even hundreds --of buttons, pins, and other items, all glittering in the sunlight. It reminded me of my mom's button box. As a girl, I'd always enjoyed digging through it, just as my own daughters enjoyed looking through mine. Then I caught sight of an old woman on a swing, watching the happenings in the yard. I went to chat with her. She told me she was selling almost all her possessions because she was moving to a nursing home in town. Her eyes fell to the button box, and when she looked up, they were glistening with tears. Her fist closed around a delicate pearl button, now yellow with age. She smiled as she told me about the birth of her first child and the special pearl-buttoned outfit that would be worn by five more babies before time wore it thin. I noticed a large, dark brass military button and asked her about it. “From my first husband's uniform,” she said. “It's one of the few things I had to remind me of him when he didn't return home alive." As we went through the box together, I pulled a small key from the box, I heard the sharp intake of her breath. It was the key to a music box that played a special love song, she said. She'd lost it years ago. From my hand to hers, I passed the key to her memories. Hairpins, wooden nickels, and ruby buttons took her further down memory lane. I knew that when I reached my own home, my heart would pull me to my sewing room, where I would rediscover my own lifetime of memories in my own button box. 【1】What do we know about the old woman? A.She was in need of money. B.She was leaving her house. C.She was wearing a white hat. D.She was selling her mum's button box. 【2】Which of the following words best describes my talk with the old woman? A.Discouraging. B.Amusing. C.Touching. D.Shocking. 【3】What might be the best title for this passage? A.A Life in a Button Box B.Memories of My Life C.An Old Lady at a Yard Sale D.My Purchase at an Auction |

The United Nations'World Food Program, WFP, won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is recognizing the group for its efforts to fight hunger and improve conditions for peace in areas affected by conflict. The award comes with a gold medal and $1.1 million --a small amount compared to the money the WFP needs for its work. So far in 2020, the UN agency has received almost $6.4 billion in goods and other donations. The World Food Program has long specialized in getting assistance to some of the world's most dangerous places. For example, the WFP has air-dropped food in South Sudan and Syria. It also created an emergency service that kept working as COVID-19 delayed many flights. In 2019, the UN agency provided aid to almost 100 million people in 88 countries. Berit Reiss-Andersen, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said on Friday, “With this year's award, the committee wishes to turn the eyes of the world to the millions of people who suffer from or face the threat of hunger.” In announcing the award, the Nobel committee noted that “Until the day when we have a medical vaccine (疫苗），food is the best vaccine against chaos.” And it added, “there will be 265 million starving people within a year, so of course this is also a call to the international community not to underfund the World Food Program.” In Geneva, a WFP spokesman told reporters: “When everything went into shutdown mode, the World Food Programme was there. When everyone was leaving, the World Food Programme had to provide the support that the world deserved.” Dan Smith is director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. He said the Nobel committee had wanted to send a message of both hope and support for international cooperation. “Hunger, like climate change, the pandemic (疫情） and other issues, is a world problem that can only be properly addressed through cooperation,” he told Reuters news agency. 【1】The WFP won the Nobel Peace Prize because it A.offered assistance to Sudan B.fought hunger to promote peace C.created services against COVID-19 D.collected goods and donations 【2】We can infer from the text that the WFP____. A.could always offer necessary aid in time B.kept working as food is the best vaccine C.struggled to keep offering nonstop support D.defeated hunger with support from cooperation 【3】What message does the news convey? A.International community is supposed to underfund WFP. B.The money awarded is adequate for WFP to provide services. C.Problems like hunger call for joint efforts by all the countries. D.Enough attention should be paid to the importance of vaccine. |

Yawning is something we all do -- maybe because we're bored carrying out boring tasks or because we're tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious, and why do we do it in the first place? Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we're more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures. What is clear is that we yawn more when we're exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can't control when we do it -- once we start, there's no stopping us! But it's also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too. Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn't. They also found, when using electrical stimulation, that they were able to increase people's desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette's, which involve the same area of the brain. What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we're not tired --but, I hope, not when you're reading this article! 【1】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “contagious”？ A.Infectious. B.Active. C.Dangerous. D.Efficient. 【2】According to a new research, we yawn because A.we are too exhausted. B.our brain needs more oxygen. C.we are bored with difficult tasks. D.our brain needs to be cooled down. 【3】What is the similarity between John Drury's findings and those of the university of Nottingham? A.Humans can't stop yawning as it is beneficial. B.When told not to yawn, we will yawn less frequently. C.Using electrical stimulation can stimulate people to yawn. D.We are more likely to yawn when someone around us yawns. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.The reasons for yawning. B.The benefits of studying yawning. C.The necessity of yawning. D.The similarity of the studies on yawning. |

Learning to Love Locally-Grown Foods Cooking shows on TV are usually all about foreign foods. Thanks to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world.【1】 In the past few years, the number of people purchasing local foods has been rising because it offers a lot of benefits. For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Imported goods must be flown or shipped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey.【2】These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today's laws regarding foods vary from country to country.【3】But when you know the local farmer who grows your food, the chances of it being polluted are greatly reduced. Buying local foods can also have a beneficial impact on the environment. Buying local, consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities. Besides, if farmers can sell directly to consumers, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high.【4】 【5】This is an open area where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket. A.In the end, it's a win-win situation for both parties. B.However, some disagree with the idea of importing foreign foods. C.To conclude, the farmers can make money and improve their life. D.This makes it difficult to detect if any harmful chemicals have been used. E.At the same time, other people are discovering that food from their area is the best. F.If you're interested in having more local foods, you can even attend a farmers' market. G.Imported goods must also be packaged in plastic or other containers to survive the journey. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 John Henderson was driving home late last night from an exhausting business trip. He had put off visiting the company's new headquarters in order to get home before midnight, and now he was having trouble staying awake. He turned up the radio and tried to concentrate on the news -- something about a robbery -- but his eyes kept on closing. His wife, Marsha, was back home in Dayton, and he missed having her company on this long trip. It was then that he noticed the hitchhiker (搭便车者） at the side of the road. Without even thinking about what he was doing, he slowed down and stopped the car. He couldn't help feeling sorry for the young man who looked so wet and miserable in the rain. “Get in,” he said. John remembered having to hitchhike home from the university before he had a car. He couldn't stand sitting at the side of the road for hours, waiting for rides. The hitchhiker got in and immediately John was sorry that he had picked him up. The young man had a strange face and very sharp eyes. His clothes were old and dirty, and his long hair needed cutting. The hitchhiker lit a cigarette and said he was going to Woodsville but when John asked him other questions, the young man avoided giving him any personal information and changed the subject. John began to sweat and his thoughts turned nervously to his wallet and all the money he was carrying on the backseat. He desperately tried to remember what the newscaster had said earlier about a robbery. “Don't be ridiculous!” He thought to himself. “Stop imagining things! This guy isn't a criminal. What's the use of panicking?” At this moment, John felt like having a cigarette, even though he had quit smoking three months before. He asked his passenger for one but before lighting it, he had to wait for his hands to stop shaking. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: “Oh, stop the car!" cried the young man all of a sudden. Paragraph 2: The young man looked puzzled, “It is I that am to pay!”. |
