写作 第一节
Dear Smith,
I learned from your last letter that you are going back to your homeland that you want to bring some gifts with Chinese characteristics for your friends. I’m writing to offer you my advice.
From my point of view, you can buy a Chinese knot. It’s a nice souvenir which is usually hung in the sitting room as a beautiful decoration. What’s more, it is a symbol of good luck. I do hope it will bring your family good luck and happiness.
Have a good holiday and give my best regards to your family.
Yours, Li Hua
第二节
I expected him to get mad, but he didn’t. I knew that this dog had never felt love before, and that he was enjoying every bit of the love I could give him in that moment. Tears began to stream down my face. I felt everything that this poor creature was feeling right then. He just wanted to be loved and he just wanted a home and a family. So I took the little animal home.
Our lives have been changed since we took the dog home. Now, his favorite thing to do is give us kisses with his giant tongue every morning. He is always there to greet us when we come home with a huge smile. He’s shown us more love than any other living creature on Earth ever had before. And every time I look into his eyes I see love, compassion and gratitude—things I never thought that a pit bull was capable of feeling.

In February, 2005, my uncle Phillip was teaching his seventh-grade students a poem called Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. He liked the poem very much, so he recorded it on his home answering machine. When Phillip and his family returned home from their vacation, he listened to his voice messages. One old man said he dialed the wrong number. But, he added, he’d really enjoyed the poem. A few days later, that old man called. He said that he wanted to hear the poem again. The two men talked. John, now 73, who used to be a doctor, lived in almost state. It turned out that his brother’s number was almost the same my uncle’s. That was 13 years ago. They’ve spoken on the phone a few times a month ever since. They haven’t gone to a game together or had a cup of coffee together. Their friendship is just to pick up the phone.

What is the purpose of lightning That might sound like a deeply philosophical question, but scientists may have shed some more light on the answer with the results of a recently released study.
The new study published at the end of April in Science found that lightning may play a bigger role in global climate change than was previously known by the scientific community. ^Lightning increases the atmosphere^ ability to cleanse itselg" the researchers wrote in the study.
According to the National Weather Service, the probabilities of being struck are quite low—1 in 1,222,000 in a given year and 1 in 15,300 in a lifetime, although many are familiar with the potentially deadly hann caused by lightning, which is blamed for an average of 43 deaths in the United States each year, based on data from 1989 to 2018. Whafs more, the earth is struck by lightning nearly 20 million times each year, and lightning can travel as much as 10 to 12 miles from a thunderstorm, instantly heating the air to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
As a result, the study estimates that somewhere between 2% and 16% of the oxidizing （氧化），or cleaning that happens naturally in the Earth5s atmosphere, is done by lightning. Why is this significant The oxidation process helps to reduce chemicals like carbon monoxide and methane in the atmosphere. These chemicals, known for being greenhouse gases, have been proven to contribute to rising temperatures associated with climate change. Researchers say that more studies will need to be conducted to verify the degree to which lightning contributes to the fight against global climate change.
What has the recent study found
Lightning is a deeply philosophical question.
Lightning reduces the atmosphere^ ability to cleanse itself.
Lightning prevents the process of oxidation.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Last year, my oldest son Matthew went off to college. Things at home were not as "busy5' as they used to be. We still had our 15-year-old son Gabriel with us5 but we missed having Matthew around.
My wife soon had a crazy idea. "Let's get a dog,” she suggested. I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea, but I agreed. I mean, what better way to replace a kid that has gone off to college than to get a dog.
When we got to the animal shelter, it seemed like every dog was a pit bull （t：匕特犬）.I'd had many bad experiences with pit bulls as a child, so I didn't want to take one of them home with me.
While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, and looked like he'd given up on life. There was only one problem: he was a pit bull.
As he looked at me with his big, beautiful eyes, I could see into his soul. I could see how scared he was and that he just wanted a happy life. I couldn5t just walk away—I had to at least go over and look at him. I approached his cage, and he just sat there, looking at me. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and petted him on the head.
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。
I expected him to get mad, but he didn't.
Our lives have been changed since we took the dog home.
