Six-year-old Stella Malpass is a first grader. She likes games, playing house and her favorite class is gym. But she has been learning to overcome some difficulties since she was born. Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a condition that limits her ability to fully extend(伸展) her arms and legs. She has had five operations. "She can’t run but she can walk really fast, but there are just certain things she wishes she could do," said Stella's mother, Kim Malpass. One of those things is going to the restroom on her own." This is the one thing in school she needs help with," Kim said, "she can do just about everything on her own but she just isn't able to pull her pants up." Jodi Carroll, Stella's doctor for two years had been trying to find a solution, but had no luck reaching out to clothing companies. "After many searches I realized we needed to invent something," Carroll said. She then got in touch with the Petoskey High School drafting team, and no doubt they were all in. "As soon as I told the students about it they supported me and we went to work right away," Lauren Liebler, the school's engineering teacher, says. Students say it was the perfect project for the students, combining brainstorming, design thinking, problem-solving and tests. Once Stella tried the device(装置), it was kind of a disappointment to find out that the first one didn't work, but then it was just the matter of coming up with the next idea or seeing how they could improve the first one to make it work. After three tests, the class's 3D-prinled tool worked. Liebler says the class can use its 3D printing technology to continue to work and grow with Stella. They can even print different colors to match her dresses. 【1】What caused Stella’s physical condition? A.An illness from her birth. B.An accident in an operation. C.A serious traffic accident. D.A fire she experienced at six. 【2】What difficulty did Stella have at school? A.Walking fast. B.Learning math well. C.Taking a gym class. D.Going to the toilet by herself. 【3】What can we know about Jodi Carroll? A.She runs a clothing company on her own. B.She is good at designing dresses for children. C.She manages to help Stella recover completely. D.She gets the idea of making something new to help Stella. 【4】What did the students think of the project? A.Hard and dangerous. B.Easy but useful. C.Useful and difficult. D.Useless but funny. |

Many of us have had this annoying experience: You are waiting at a bus station when someone nearby begins to smoke a cigarette. You frown and move, but it seems that there isn't much you can do about it. The situation is changing now, as in Beijing, a new ban is set to fight against smoking. Seen as the toughest anti-smoking regulation in China's history, the law makes smoking in Beijing locations such as offices, restaurants, hotels and hospitals punishable by fines. Businesses that fail to rein in smoking can be fined up to 10,000 yuan and repeat offenders could have their licenses revoked (吊销). Individual smokers themselves can be fined up to 200 yuan. As well as indoor smoking, the law prohibits lighting up in some open-air spaces close to schools, hospitals, and sports stadiums. Tobacco advertisements are not allowed to appear outdoors. Health commission inspectors will be in charge, carrying out spot checks and acting on tip-offs from the public — posters in the capital advertise a hotline number, and the city government has launched a social media account allowing observers to upload images of smokers caught in the act. "Since previous anti-smoking laws have been poorly carried out, we don't expect it will be entirely smooth running," said Bernhard Schwartlaender, the WHO's representative in China. "The key point is enforcement (强制实行)." "I don't think you can just rely on policy," Yang Gonghuan, deputy head of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, said of the law. "Parents and teachers who smoke have a strong influence on children. Smoking scenes in films and TV programmes also make young people wrongly connect tobacco use with glamour(魅力) and a cool image." 【1】The best title for the passage is probably _______. A.No more smoking, Beijing B.Anti-smoking movement C.Fight against indoor smokers D.Get rid of tobacco in China 【2】What does the underlined phrase "rein in" in the third paragraph probably mean? A.Promote. B.Control. C.Advocate. D.Quit. 【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.There used to be some anti-smoking laws in the past. B.Experts are positive about the new anti-smoking law. C.Beijing is the first city in China to produce a ban on smoking. D.The most effective way to ban smoking is to get smokers fined. 【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______. A.family members are the decisive factor B.teachers hold the key to fighting against smoking C.education matters in discouraging people from smoking D.media are responsible for the failure of banning smoking |

The old Chinese saying "as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice. Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration. "In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion," said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher. "As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy," said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang. "I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Year’s Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us," said Zhang Hui, from Hebei. 【1】Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage? A.Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years. B.Nowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival. C.People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits. D.In the past, setting off fireworks couldn’t be seen almost anywhere. 【2】What Li Shunzhi said implies . A.what people do during the festival now is different from the past B.people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve C.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest D.the New Year holiday is just like any other day 【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival. B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family. C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival. D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area. 【4】What does the whole passage show? A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before. B.The Spring Festival is outdated now. C.The Spring Festival is losing its qualities. D.The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West. |

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。 In a bakery store, some cakes are put in a row on a shelf during the Spring Festival. Here you may select the one which is most to your taste, and you are even allowed to sample them before coming to a decision. I have often wondered whether some people, who have no intention of making a purchase, would take advantage of this. One day I asked the shop girl this question, and the answer was yes. "Now there's one old gentleman, for instance," she told me. "He comes here almost every week and samples each one of the cakes, though he never buys anything, and I suspect he never will. Well, let him come if he wants it, and welcome him. And I hope there are a lot more stores where he can go and get his share. He looks as if he needs it, and I suppose they can afford it." She was still speaking when an elderly gentleman limped(蹒跚) up to the counter and began looking closely at the row of cakes with great interest. "Hey, that's the very gentleman I've been talking about," whispered the shop girl, and then turned to him. "Would you like to sample them, Sir? Here's a spoon for you to use." The elderly gentleman, who was poorly but neatly dressed, accepted the spoon and began eagerly to sample one after another of the cakes, only breaking off occasionally to wipe his red eyes with a large tom handkerchief. "This is quite good. This is not bad either, but a little too heavy." All the time, it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these cakes, and I was positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old man! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite cake. Among the crowd of happy, prosperous looking festival shoppers, the little black figure of the old man seemed pitiful and out of place. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.至少使用5个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: In a burst of mercy, I went up to him and said ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The girl took down the cake from its stand and started to make a parcel. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
