Graffiti
Have you ever written anything on a wall It's nothing new, and for thousands of years humans
have been writing messages on walls, bridges, and buildings as a means of expressing themselves.
Ancient Graffiti
Some of the first graffiti artists were the Vikings. You can read some at a prehistoric site in Scotland. The Vikings broke into the burial site about 800 years ago, hoping to find treasure.Unfortunately,there wasn't any; however, the cave was a good place to shelter from the terrible storm that night,where the Vikings left messages on the walls to pass the time. Interestingly, many of the things they wrote are typical of modern-day graffiti, for example “Benedikt made this cross.”
Political Graffiti
At times, graffiti is used to make political statements. During World War II, people in occupied Holland painted orange victory “V”signs on walls in major towns. Here's another example: “No more wars!”
American Graffiti
During the 1970s a new type of graffiti became popular in the States:tagging(标记）。Bands of youngsters slipped away into the streets at night with cans of paint and left their tags on as many walls as possible.Some people see this form of graffiti as an example of urban art; others see it as an example of urban decline.
British Graffiti
In Britain, one of the most popular forms of graffiti is known as “toilet graffiti”， which is common on the walls of public toilets all over the country. The graffiti often consists of a funny or rude comment. Occasionally it will be a response to another piece of graffiti, or at other times; it will be a political comment.
21.Why did the Vikings leave messages at the prehistoric site
A.To relieve their boredom.
B.To cause a sense of mystery.
C.To display their strength.
D.To show their disappointment.
22. As far as the author's concerned, it is believed that
A.the Vikings created the very first graffiti
B.political graffiti resulted in more conflicts
C.there remain some arguments about tagging
D.rude comments are not allowed on walls
23.In which of the following types can you communicate in others' absence
A.Ancient Graffiti.
B.Political Graffiti.
C.American Graffiti.
D. British Graffiti.

“Have you checked the oil in the car " my father used to say to me,his version of "Hello,hope you are well."Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with one about the oil.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice. In my experience: It's mostly about your motor vehicle.
My student car-an old green Toyota bought for $500-was the vehicle for which my father carved his paternal affections(父爱）。I bet it's always been so. Back in ancient Rome,the father would test the son on the state of his carriage.
Why can't fathers just say“I love you” or “It's great to see you”？ The point is:You just have to
translate from the language that is Fatherlish.Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you”can
be heard in the slightly lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the seal(密封圈）
around the base of your toilet because I assume that thing is getting really smelly.”
The affectionate phrase“You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
When I was 17,I went on my first road trip in that Toyota. My father stood on the corner. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and carriage. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would repeat “horse-and-carriage” every time I sped up to overtake some other speeding vehicle.
Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary,I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so ignored was simply dad's attempt at affection.
24.According to the author, a typical father's greetings may start with “
A.Look who it is!
B.Everything OK
C.Hi,sweetheart!
D.How's the leak in the ceiling
25. What did the author's old Toyota mean to his father
A. A symbol of his son's admiration.
B.A medium for his paternal love.
C. A sign of a modernized lifestyle.
D.A turning point in the family life.
26.Why does the author mention certain daily phrases in Paragraphs 4 and 5
A.To show the fatherlish's influence on kids.
B.To illustrate a dad's loving concern for kids.
C.To prove the usefulness of a dad's greetings.
D.To compare different versions of fatherlish.
27.What is probably the best title for the passage
A.Speaking Fluent Fatherlish
B.Remembering Very Moments
C.Displaying Parental Love
D.Giving Practical Advice
C
What kind of people can become scientists When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders,almost every student gave such responses as "People who work hard" or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists,citing concerns such as “I'm not good at science" and “Even ifI work hard, I will not dowell."It's easy for them to see a scientist's work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science.Researchers at Teachers College,Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students' beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study,the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein,Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories:stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories" improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower-performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition,students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist's struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情）with the scientists during their own struggles.
28.Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists
A.They lack interest in science.'
B.They don't possess inborn talent.
C.They are short of confidence.
D.They have no ability to study science.
29.What's the purpose of the intervention
A.To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B.To expose students to scientists 'great achievements.
C.To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D.To clear students' misunderstandings of scientific work.
30.The underlined word "pronounced" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
A.delicate
B.permanent
C.doubtful
D.apparent
31.What can we learn from the research
A.Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B.Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C.Scientists' struggle stories can influence readers' beliefs.
D.Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
D
A terrible thing happened to me while I was watching TV recently:I realized that I had aged. Now of course I know that I am aging, it's just that I hadn't realized quite how old I was until I saw a participant who I recognized on a reality TV show.Well, I didn't recognize her but I recognized her name. I'd slightly known her in my 20s when she'd been the celebrity who had stolen my roommates' boyfriends.
However,here's the thing that shocked me-I hadn't recognized her because rather than the beauty I remembered, on my TV was a middle-aged mum cooking. And then it hit me: that's what I look like too.
It's a particularly cruel change of nature that we can't see ourselves as others do. We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed. Occasionally we might get a rude awakening when suddenly our bodies stop working as expected but, for the most part, we're left to get on with growing old without too many reminders. But when you get a reminder ... oof! Since that show aired, I have sat in front of the mirror analyzing my face and wondering how I came to look so like my mother without noticing. I've also realized that my waist no longer fits into baby fat but a middle-aged spread.
I also fear that I don't know what middle age looks like for my generation. Did my mother still feel 24 when in reality she was 15 years older And why do I not feel like I'm where I should be as I approach 40 I definitely remember writing a list of things I will have achieved by the time I'm 40 at 19.Where is the house in the South of France or the Porsche 911 she so desperately wanted
Since then, I've started to redefine myself. I don't want to put everything down to age but I can't quite stop myself. Tired again Must be my age. Thank God then for social media. All around me I see amazing women at the other end of their 40s. They've accepted their age and seem to love it, so I'm hopeful that as I move into the next decade that will be me too. And maybe I'll get the Porsche before I'm 50.
32.What is implied in Paragraph 1
A.The author has been friends with the TV celebrity.
B. The TV celebrity used to be popular among boys.
C.The TV celebrity now lives a life of extreme luxury.
D.The aging process doesn't affect the TV celebrity.
33.In most cases, how do we perceive the aging process
A.We clearly know what happens.
B. It is very likely to slip our mind.
C.We can accept it quite peacefully.
D.It always brings about hopelessness.
34.The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to
A. a lady denying being old
B.the ambitious self aged 19
C. a woman accepting her age
D.the celebrity on the TV show
35.What is the theme of this article
A. It matters not how long we live but how.
B. Wrinkles are just evidence of great wisdom.
C.Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
D.The best tunes are played on the oldest violins.

“We work four-day weeks because it makes our staff more motivated,” says Joe Munns,CEO
and founder of Bakedin, which makes home baking kits and cake mixes.
Joe has put his 40 workers on a four-day week since he started the firm in 2013, when he was working for the computer giant IBM. 36 When he was at IBM,he actually reduced his hours down to a four-day week and had Fridays free,when he could work on Bakedin,which became his second job and he was devoted to.
37 It means that he could do what he liked and took that opportunity to start the business with a four-day week. So they have the normal working week of Monday to Thursday－then everyone gets those three days off.
Because there is still some business to do on Fridays, such as dealing with customer enquiries, some of Bakedin's office workers volunteer to work on Fridays. 38
Bakedin staff put in nine-and-a-half-hours on the four days they are at work. 39 “When we are together, we just find that we're more productive. We get more done this way, because we don't get that tired,Friday feeling.”
Many firms and countries.have started experimenting with four-day,rather than five-day weeks.
40 Bakedin is in the food industry,which has a very high turn-over rate for staff. “Every year, some 30% of employees in the food industry leave their jobs,” says Joe. “But at Bakedin, our staff turnover rate is under 5%. So a four-day week is an excellent way of keeping staff loyal.”
A.He figured it was his business.
B.He ran the company as a weekend passion.
C. There are other benefits of putting staff on a four-day week.
D. It is a big selling point when they first advertise for workers.
E.They take their third day off at some other point in the week.
F.They get more done this way than if they were at work five days a week.
G. It reduces the risk of staff “burning out" and improves their work-life balance.

“She was brought to us as a stray(流浪狗）in 2017,”the Facebook post reads.“She needs the perfect home,not just any home.” Ingersoll said that it's been difficult finding the right one for Ginger because she has some 47 needs that should be satisfied by a. 48 family.
Ginger is outgoing and likes sticking by.However,she has 49 with resource. guarding-meaning she can become 50 and possessive of objects like her food bowl and toys. For that reason, RPC doesn't consider her a good 51 for families with small children, or any children who may not be 52 enough to recognize when they need to leave Ginger alone.
Ingersoll 53 noted that Ginger has never bitten anyone, and RPC wants to make sure it stays that way: “Because she is such a unique and loving dog, we don't want to put her in a situation where she can 54，”she said.
While RPC is willing to'consider non-locals, any potential adopter will have to agree to a home
55 by the shelter. “We would love nothing more than for her to have her own family right now,” said Ingersoll.

Once upon a time when I was in school my best friend called me late night on Saturday to invite me to her birthday the next day. I was very happy and excited to go there but I needed to take permission from my parents. I went to their room and slowly asked them. They said, “OK,you can go but you should be back before 10.”
Then my preparations started. I made a card for my friend and started selecting clothes for the party. Finally everything completed and I went to sleep and only one thing was there in my mind all the time-THE PARTY.I was waiting for the night to end and the party to begin.
Next morning my Mom was surprised to see that I just woke up by myself, no alarm,no Mom's warning. The whole day had passed and now it was party time. My father dropped me to my friend's place and said that he would be back at 10.
I enjoyed a lot at the party. My friend loved the card that I made for her and everybody in the party loved my dress. I was on cloud nine. We had dinner, played so many games and it was 10 finally.I remembered my parents' advice that I should be back by 10. I came out and started searching for my dad, but I could not find him. I was so worried and scared; everybody was inside, but I was alone there. I waited there for 5 to 10 minutes but waiting alone seemed to be more than the time. I started walking, and I thought at least I could go home by walking as my home was 20 minutes away from my friend's place. As I was walking I was weeping as I had never walked alone on the road at night.

1.续写词数应为150左右；

Dear friends,
There is no denying that electricity plays a great role in our society.However, with the rapid development of our country, it is being consumed too much, which threatens the sustainable economic growth.
It is high time that we saved electricity. Switch off the household appliances in time. Use the stairs as often as possible. Set the air conditioner at a reasonable temperature. All in all, form a good habit of saving electricity.
Let's make joint efforts to save energy and live a green low-carbon life.

Suddenly I heard someone calling something. I was scared and started walking fast. As I was walking I heard someone following me and I started running and crying. Then I saw some cars that parked there and I hid myself behind those cars. I saw one shadow searching for me. After some time that shadow disappeared and I ran towards my home. Finally I reached home.I hugged my mom and started crying. She started asking so many questions but I was unable to answer any of them.
After some time I relaxed and told everything to mom. She got scared and while we were discussing my father came and asked what happened. As soon as I started telling him my story, he said, “I saw you and I was screaming at you but you were running away from me and suddenly you disappeared. I came late there as my tyre got flat.” My mom burst out laughing and told my dad everything. I was shocked to hear that and felt relieved. That day I slept with my parents and really felt safe and secure.

W:He recently took an amazing photo of birds following a ferry he was on while in Mexico,but Ryan grew up in New York and what he really loves is getting pictures of his city, its sights and those who live there. He considers photography an art form because it lets him catch life and ordinary people through his own eyes.
M: What kind of camera did he begin with
W:He began to take photos when he was eight with the camera on his sister's phone. By the age of twelve, though, he began with an old camera belonging to his dad. At that time, photography was changing his life.Nowadays he always chooses from the latest models.
M:What advice does Ryan have for other young photographers
W:He believes that thinking you can't achieve what you want while you're young is a mistake. And Ryan's amazing career shows just how true that is.
M:Well,thank you for talking to us,Amy.

M:Good morning, everyone. I've come here to talk to you about the company's new plan to encourage employees to come to work by bike instead of by car. First of all, let's look at the benefits to employees.
One of the obvious benefits is financial-obviously it costs a lot to buy and run a car, and bicycles are much cheaper. Cyclists don't have to pay road tax or insurance. And cycling will also reduce the amount of time it takes them to get to and from work. The health benefits of the plan are probably well known. Studies have shown that cycling four miles a day halves the risk of heart disease. Another health benefit is that cycling can reduce stress, so it helps you to arrive at work or at home feeling good.
Well,let me just tell you a bit more about the plan itself. The company will lend you up to a thousand dollars to buy a bike and all the necessary safety equipment and you won't have to pay any interest or any tax on that amount.
You'll just repay it over three years. You are allowed to buy two bikes-but no more-with your loan, and that's if you live a long way from work. This allows you to cycle to your nearest station, leave one bike there, get a train, pick up the second bicycle at your arrival station, and then cycle from there to work.2022届盐城高三上期中考试解析

A篇
A篇关于壁画的起源，在几千年前人们就开始在墙上等建筑物上记录信息，壁画被分为了四种类型。有古代的、有政治的、有美国的、有英国的。
第21题 A 根据however, the cave was a good place to shelter from the terrible storm that night, where the Vikings left messages on the walls tol pass the time可知，维京人在墙上留下了信息来消磨时间。故选项A“缓解他们的无聊”正确。
第22题 C 其中A选项偷换概念，原文是Some of the first graffiti artists were the Vikings. B选项并没有引起更大的冲突。D选项原文often consists of a funny or rude comment说明rude comment 是包含在内的。故C选项正确。
第23题 D 细节题。根据Occasionally it will be a response to another piece of graffiti, or at other times it will be a political comment与题目呼应可知，选项D正确。
B篇
B篇主要讲的是父爱的表达方式，作者一开始不理解为什么父亲总是用有没有检查车里是否有油来开展对话，但在最后发现车子是父亲表达对他爱的一种媒介。
第24题 D 细节题。由原文第一段 “Have you checked the oil in the car ”可知作者认为的典型父亲的招呼应该是询问是否有问题，与选项D中“天花板上的渗漏怎么样了”一样，故D选项正确。
第25题 B 理解题。由倒数第二段可知，一次开Toyota出去旅行的经历中，父亲的话让作者知道Toyota是父亲对作者表达父爱的媒介。父亲是通过细节处的关心来表达出他对儿子的爱的。故选项B正确。
第26题 B 理解题。四、五两段主要阐述了父亲对孩子的关爱。故选项B正确。
第27题 A 概括题。选项B范围太广，选项C和D 没有提及，选项A贴合文意故正确。
C篇
C篇文章是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家们的挫折故事反而能激发学生认真学习科学的兴趣这件事。
第28题 C 细节理解题。定位到文章第二段，“citing concerns such as ‘I’m not good at science’ and ‘Even if I work hard, I will not do well.’ ”学生们认为，自己不擅长科学，即便努力工作也不会做的很好，因此他们缺乏信心，故选C。
第29题 D 细节理解题。定位到文章第三段，“Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students' beliefs…”他们设计了一种干预，改变学生的想法，科学成就反映出来的并不仅仅是努力。所以，这个干预的目的在于，清楚学生心中对于科学研究的误解，故选D。
第30题 D 词意猜测题。定位到文章最后一段，划线词前一句说，受干预的学生科学成绩有所提高，后一句说，与阅读成就故事的低成绩学生相比，那些看了挫折故事的学生在科学课上的表现更好。也就是说，这一个现象或者说影响，在低成绩学生身上更为明显(pronounced)，故选D，明显的。
第31题 C 细节理解题。定位到文章最后一段，最后一段一共说了两件事，第一，接触了奋斗故事的学生科学课上的成绩显著提高；第二，接触了奋斗故事的学生的内心和科学家产生了共鸣。AB选项和文章内容不符，错误；D选项，并不是表现差的学生和科学家产生共鸣，而是接触了奋斗故事的学生产生了共鸣。C选项，科学家们的奋斗故事对读者，也就是文中的学生产生了影响，这些故事让学生产生了共鸣，故选C。
D篇
D篇是一篇记叙文，作者看电视的时候突然意识到自己变老了，陷入了深深的焦虑之中，担心许许多多的事。但是随后，作者重新定义自己，领悟到，人需要接受自己的年龄，一个人的存在并不取决于ta能够活多久，而是ta该怎么活着，最终释怀。
第32题 B 推断题。定位到文章第一段，“电视上的名人抢走了我舍友的男朋友”这一情节，可以推断出，能够抢走作者舍友的男朋友，电视上的那个名人应该是有几分姿色的，所以应该在男生中间玩的很来。A选项，原文说，我对那个电视上的名人略知一二，显然不是朋友，错误；C选项，文章中并没有有关电视上名人经济状况的语句，错误；D选项，根据第二段，我们可以知道，年龄其实是影响了她的，因为她“并不是电视上的美丽，而是一位正在做饭的中年妈妈”，错误。故选B。
第33题 B 细节理解题。定位到文章第三段，“We see our own face so often that the wrinkles that start to cut through it just go unnoticed”，我们经常看到自己的脸，以至于脸上的皱纹分隔开我们的脸我们都忽略了（注意不到了）。所以，在大多数情况下，我们对待变老这件事的时候，会更多的忽略它，忘记它，故选B。
第34题 C 指代题。定位到文章最后一段，划线词前一句说，我看到了40多岁的女性，他们接受并喜欢上了自己的年龄。划线词所在句说，我希望当我进入我人生的下一个十年时，也会像那样子。显然，这里的“那”指代的是，那一位接受自己年龄的女性，故选C。
第35题 A 主旨大意题。通读全文，作者从文章开头就在为自己的年龄焦虑，她并不知道自己的中年是什么样子，也不知道自己年少时定的目标何时实现，但是在文章结尾作者接受并喜欢上自己的年龄。这一态度的转变的关键在于，作者意识到，年龄并不是重要的，我进馆40岁我仍然可以积极乐观的活下去，去完成自己未完成的目标，去期盼自己在十年之后能够获得自己想获得的东西。因此，这篇文章的主旨应该是，人活多久并不重要，重要的是如何活着。

本篇主要介绍了Bakedin公司的创始人Joe Munns 在公司实行的每周四天工作制，提高了员工的积极性和效率，减少员工在工作中的倦怠感和员工的离职率。
详细解析：
第36题 B 36题空前主要讲：在2013年创办公司的时候，Joe就让他的员工每周工作四天。说明工作氛围并不像五天制那么令人疲倦。空后主要讲：当他在IBM工作的时候，他把他的工作时间减少到每周四天，周五有空可以在Bakedin工作。所以选B，他把运营这个公司当做周末消遣。
第37题 A 他觉得这是自己苦心经营而且钟情的事业，苦心经营而且钟情的事业用business, 他在Bakedin的事业意味着他可以做自己喜欢的事情，并且借助着机会去开始自己四天工作制的（创业）实践。后面的文字是对he figured it was his business的具体阐述。
第38题 E 38题这段主要讲，由于周五仍然有一些工作要做，一些员工自愿在周五工作，优先看E和F两个They开头的句子，根据句意，E选项“他们在一周的其他时间休息第三天”更加符合。
第39题 F 39题空前主要讲Bakedin员工在四天的工作时间里要工作九个半小时，空后主要讲员工认为这样比工作五天做的更多，效率更高。所以F选项“他们这样做比一周五天做得更多”符合。
第40题 G 前后句是因果关系，很多公司在实行四天工作制，这样可以减少员工过度疲劳的风险，并且可以改善他们工作与生活的平衡，正因为如此，能够和后文也形成因果关系，所以可以减少员工的离职率。

本文用形象的叙述讲述了狗狗Ginger在宠物之家的生活情况，以及其后寻求领养主人的需求及注意事项。语言生动活泼，感染力强。
详细解析：
第41题 C 根据下文我们不难看出，Ginger被宠物之家的员工们和许多的志愿者所喜爱。这一点也在后文中多次出现，是此空想要强调的。Pat甚至评价道”She’s our little princess”。所以此处选C选项。
第42题 A 根据上下文我们可知，Ginger不仅在shelter中生活，也时常外出享受shelter外面的生活。a fair amount of time意为相当一部分时间；很大一部分时间，最为合适。Equal太过精确，我们无法测量是否使用了同等的时间。
第43题 D 根据第四段中的文章内容我们可知，Ginger “needs a home”，这也是原词重现。也即Ginger不能一直呆在现在的shelter中，而是需要找到一户人家将它领养。故本题选D。
第44题 B 本题考查基础词组释义。Leave for表示动身去，把…留给(某人)做；look for表示寻找；stare at表示凝视、盯着看；wonder at表示怀疑，对……感到吃惊。所以根据上下文我们可知，Ginger在寻找一个能够领养它的家庭。故答案为B。
第45题 C 根据下文的“please”一词我们不难看出，Ginger在照片里盯着镜头，表现出了一直在寻找领养者的渴望。只有“begging”一词才最能体现这种心情。
第46题 B 本题基于上下文可知Ginger处于正待被领养的状态中。故本体选择B选项adopt。
第47题 C 根据下文我们可知，Ginger有一些需要特别注意的习性需要被照顾，从而也限制了领养家庭的种类。故本题选择specific。
第48题 D 根据下文我们可知，对于Ginger特殊的习性对于家庭有了许多的限制。但A,B选项皆无法从文章中推断出来。所以此空应基于“未来可能领养它的家庭”来选择。Potential有潜在的，可能的之意，故此处意为“可能的领养家庭”。答案为D选项。
第49题 B 通过下文我们可知，Ginger在保护属于自己的物品时会表现得较有攻击性，所以它在保护自己的一些资源方面的行为存在一些问题。Have some issues with sth 意为在某方面存在……的问题，符合题意。其余选项皆不符合题意。
第50题 A 根据上下文推断，Ginger对于自己的物品有着强烈的占有欲。所以它会变得非常possessive，意为占有欲强的，有控制欲的。与其状态相近的词语只有A选项的defensive，意为防御的，戒备的。故答案为A。
第51题 A 本题考查语境理解和固定搭配。A good fit for sth表示非常适合、合适某物或某人。根据上文，我们知道因为Ginger有可能会做出这样的行动，所以RPC并不认为有幼童的家庭适合领养它。其余选项皆不符合题意。
第52题 B 根据上下文我们不难推测，家里有太过年幼的幼童不适合领养Ginger，因为他们并不够成熟，无法分辨什么时候需要让Ginger独处，而这也会对孩子本身造成威胁。后文的“recognize”所指代的这一件事是需要充分的判断力才能够完成的事，故mature最符合题意。
第53题 A 本题为情感态度题。根据后文Ingersoll描述的内容我们可知，他认为Ginger还是一只很可爱的、特别的小狗，所以他前文陈述Ginger至今没有咬过人时的情感应该是对Ginger持肯定态度的。firmly最能体现出这里的态度。
第54题 C 根据上文我们可知，Ginger从未咬过任何人。所以RPC也不想让它处于一个会伤人，从而做出让人失望行为的环境中。故选择C选项。
第55题 D 根据上下文，我们可知虽然RPC可以考虑非本地用户的领养，但是为了确保Ginger的状态，他们还是需要进行上门探访检查，也即home check。本题亦为固定搭配的考察

应用文写作（龚露工作室学霸原创）：
Dear friends,
To respond to the appeal for sustainable development, I am encouraging all of you to save electricity, for the purpose of protecting the earth and creating a greener living environment.
As we all know, owing to people's lack of energy-saving awareness, electricity waste has become a commonplace, which takes a heavy toll on the environment, as electricity is generated by burning wood and the process creates large amounts of carbon dioxide. Hence, it is imperative for us to spring into action. First,turn off the light when leaving a room. What’s more, replace high- power electrical appliances with energy-efficient products, if possible.
It is our collective duty to save the earth. Take action and do our part!

Version A:
Suddenly I heard someone calling something. So scared was I that I looked around with my heart racing rapidly, only to find everything in total darkness. The whole world was in total silence except the heavy pounding in my chest. “Obviously it's just an illusion.” I muttered to myself, trying to forget the strange sound. Just then, I heard it again but this time I recognized that it was my dad's typical hoarse voice. Following his voice, I found a young man lying on the ground and my father was giving him CPR. I asked dad what had happened and he explained that he found the young man in a coma on his way to pick me up. Unfortunately, his telephone was dead so he failed to call for help. Knowing that, I immediately rang the ambulance and rushed the young man to the hospital.
After some time, I relaxed and told everything to mom. She was still waiting at home, wondering what happened to us until I called her and explained the whole story. My dad was calling the police since we failed to identify the young man, let alone contact his family. Mom's voice sounded so gentle and caring on the other end of the line, which calmed me down and made me completely relaxed. Dad's broad shoulders outside the operating room were also very reassuring so that I finally drifted into sleep.
龚露老师评价：这篇作文引进了一个陌生的young man ，可能不是很好，请大家谨慎对待。
Version B:
Suddenly I heard someone calling something. The whole world was in total silence except the strange sound. So scared was I that I failed to recognize the voice and regretted the decision to go back alone. News about missing girls at night and plots of horror fictions flooded into my mind, which made my heart beat even faster. I began to run for dear life, only to be patted by someone behind me. Hardly had I cried out in fear when a familiar voice rang by my ear. This time, I recognized the voice——it was from dad. I turned around in relief and went home with him, still feeling the cold sweat in my back.
After some time, I relaxed and told everything to mom. She had been waiting at home on pins and needles since we were almost one hour later than usual. Learning what had happened, mom patted me on my shoulder and told me how dangerous it was to go back alone at night. “If you run into an unfamiliar situation, remember to stay put and contact us first. We are not forcing you to come back at ten. We just want to ensure your safety.” Mom's voice sounded so gentle and caring which calmed me down and made me start to reflect on myself. Had I been more patient and cautious, I wouldn't have my parents worry so much. Staring at mom's soft eyes and dad's gentle grin, I felt warm in the cold night.
