Ⅰ.阅读理解
In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery (奴隶制) in 1820.Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross.She was to become Harriet Tubman.She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the United States.
From the age of five, Harriet Tubman's owners made her work very hard.First, she cared for the child of the farm owner.Then, she did hard work on large farms.
Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right.Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.
One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old.Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head.She was badly hurt.For the rest of her life, Tubman's head wound caused problems for her.
When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman.But she was still a slave.Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape.She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North.Tubman became a free woman.
But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South.So she travelled back to help them escape as well.Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom.Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the US.
Harriet Tubman died in 1913.Her memory brings hope to many people—especially to those who fight for justice (正义).She encouraged people to never give up.
“If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”

Ⅲ.读后续写
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 the school spelling bee. Mark stood behind a microphone. “Your word is ‘onomatopoeia’，” said Mr Green, the announcer.
“I got this！” Mark thought. Spelling was sort of his superpower. He wasn't good at math or science, but he enjoyed reading books. He rarely studied yet always ached (在……中取得好成绩) his spelling tests — even the hardest words.
Mark's brain fast forwarded to the spelling bees ahead: first the county championship, then the state championship, and finally the national spelling bee.
“Your answer, please, Mark？”
He glanced back at Alice, another fourth grader. She wanted another chance to win the game. If he missed his word, she would be back in the game, but that wasn't going to happen.
Mark cleared his throat, “Onomatopoeia, o n o m a t o p o e i a, onomatopoeia.”
“Correct！” said Mr Green.
Mark's older sister, Daisy, who had also competed but missed her word, applauded with the rest of the crowd. Mr Green presented the trophy (奖杯) to Mark. Then he immediately ran down the steps toward his sister. “I win，” Mark said, showing the trophy to Daisy. However, Daisy rolled her eyes and said, “You're a terrible winner.”
“What's wrong？” Mark asked.
“You know, it wasn't cool that you ignored Alice on the stage. She tried to shake your hand，” Daisy said.
Mark shrugged (耸肩) and said, “I didn't notice. Anyway, county bee, here I come！”
Two weeks passed in a blink (转眼间). At the county bee, students from different schools stood on the stage. After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students dwindled (减少) to just seven. This was no regular spelling bee. Mark barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on “conscience”．
Mark wiped his sweaty palms on his pants. Gary, a fifth grader next to him, told him during break that he had studied two hours a day to get ready for this competition.
Another speller crashed with “rhythmic”．
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
“Your word is ‘maestro’，” the announcer said to Mark.
Gary finally won with the word “obnoxious”， but his behavior was different from Mark's in the competition at school.
参考范文：
“Your word is ‘maestro’，” the announcer said to Mark. Mark knew the word, but he was not sure about the correct order of “a” and “e”. He took a deep breath. “Meastro, m e a s t r o, meastro.” It was not correct. Mark stood frozen for a long time. He'd lost the competition. He left the stage and sat with the other students. His superpower did not exist. Suddenly, he thought about the school spelling bee and Alice's missing the win.
Gary finally won with the word “obnoxious”， but his behavior was different from Mark's in the competition at school. He accepted his trophy with a small bow, and then shook hands with the other students. Mark felt ashamed. The following Monday at school, Mark found Alice in the lunchroom. “I'm sorry I acted so rudely when I won the school spelling bee.” “It doesn't matter，” Alice said. “How was the county bee？” “What a disaster，” Mark said. “If you need a study partner for the next competition, I'm happy to help.” Alice smiled. Mark laughed. “Let's shake on it, partner.” “Better late than never，” Alice said, shaking his hand.
