一、完形填空
(2021·山东烟台中考)Being a parent is without doubt among the most challenging jobs in the world. But no matter how 1 it is, some people voluntarily(主动地) take this role—even if they don't have to. We know them as “foster(收养) parents”．
Katie Holstein is one such example. In 2017, though unmarried, she decided to become a mother. Eight months later, she got a license and was 2 to become a first－time mom to two babies. It was not an easy 3 for Katie. However, she made it. The babies were looked after very well.
Over the next three years, this 4 mom fostered 16 children. They were all under five years old because she wasn't willing to take teenagers. However, her attitude changed when she met a teenage girl named Akyra.
Akyra's foster family needed a break. Katie was asked to let Akyra 5 with her for a week. To Katie's surprise, she and Akyra got on well. They had the same 6 such as watching movies and reading novels. As time went on, the pair grew 7 . Katie made up her mind to foster her for real. Akyra was 14 at that time and planned to live with Katie until she aged out of the system at 18 years old.
Now Katie's story is 8 known. She hopes it will encourage other people to 9 their homes to foster kids. “Being a real family doesn't always mean being connected by blood. Sometimes, it just means being connected by the 10 . I promise you, there are children in your community right now who need a safe place to land. They need willing families, not perfect ones，” explained Katie.

(2021·江苏淮安涟水一模)Last night, an amazing thing happened to Daisy. She was in the bathroom of her flat. As usual, Daisy was brushing her teeth and ready to go to bed. The tap was on. Water was coming into the sink.
“Turn that tap off，” a voice said loudly. Daisy looked round, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You're wasting water，” the voice sounded again.
“Who... who are you？” “I'm water. It's not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I'm from？”
“From the tap, of course，”said Daisy.
“Yes, yes, but before that？” the voice said. “24 days ago, I was in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying the sights comfortably. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake. I stayed there for a few days, and then I traveled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up.”
“Cleaned up？” Daisy was surprised.
“Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They gave me cleaning and added a few chemicals(化学品) to me. Then I traveled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me, and here I am.”
Daisy said, “So this is the end of your journey.”
“No. When you've finished with me, I'll go to a sewage plant(污水处理厂). Then they'll pour me into the river and I'll be back in the sea again.”
“Again？”
“Yes. That's where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I'm precious like gold. See you. ”
“Wait a minute. What do you mean by that？” But there was no answer. The water left.
