A woman in Pulaski, Virginia, says she was stopped by a squirrel, who pulled on her leg repeatedly and led her to help its injured baby.
Tia Powell was walking in Kiwanis Park when she was "approached by a squirrel", the Pulaski Police Department wrote on Facebook. The squirrel stood in her way on the path. After realizing that the squirrel did not mean any harm and wasn't going to leave her side, Powell turned around and the squirrel led her down the path to a baby squirrel with an injured leg.
At one point, Powell wasn't sure she could help and she began walking and the squirrel followed her again and actually pulled her trouser leg! So, she fed the squirrels a sandwich she had with her and watched them try to jump up into a tree. When she realized the baby squirrel was still struggling to get up the tree, she decided to call in backup. Powell called the Pulaski Police Department.
Powell didn't know how the baby squirrel got injured, but she thought a nearby street cat was the culprit(肇事者). So, the group of rescuers decided to move the squirrels to safer area. "We were able to get the baby and mother to a different area with more trees and it was able to climb all the way up and they looked very happy," Powell said.
She went back a few days later to show her kids where it all went down. In the trees, Powell spotted two squirrels staring at her, and couldn't help but wonder if they were the same squirrels she rescued.
1. Why did the squirrel stop Tia Powell
A. To attack her side. B. To save its baby.
C. To ask her the way. D. To pull her trousers.
2. What did Tia Powell do after feeding the squirrels
A. Turned and walked away. B. Helped them into a tree.
C. Left a sandwich for them. D. Reported them to the police.
3. Who did Powell think injured the baby squirrel
A. The baby squirrel itself. B. The mother squirrel.
C. A street cat. D. Tia Powell's kid.
4. How did the squirrel feel after getting rescued
A. Cheerful. B. Doubtful.
C. Sensitive. D. Unhappy.

Mom and I were putting the finishing touches on dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.
When she had set all six places, she stood back and sighed, "Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!" We had a good laugh at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.
Mom worked for the local council on aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the litlle things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver then to the people who she knew didn't get enough to eat.
This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom's clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad's death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.
When I was cleaning out Mom's house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir(纪念品). That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one's neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.
1. Why did the author think those plates beautiful
A. They were not all alike.
B. They were little Jessica’s pride.
C. They were collected from different places.
D. They were symbols of the parents' kindness.
2. What did the author's mother do to earn a living in the 1970s
A. Be a housewife.
B. Run Meals on Wheels.
C. Deliver food to houses.
D. Do housework for the old.
3. Why did the author's mother make to-go meals
A. It was her job.
B. She was good at cooking.
C. She wanted to help beyond her duty.
D. Her family didn't have enough to eat.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Plates of Sympathy
B. A Precious Souvenir
C. Services for the Senior
D. A Kind-hearted Mother

Jane Austen ever popular
Last summer, the UK honored one of its favorite writers, Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), by making her the face of the new 10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen's fame has increased to global fame.
Yet Austen's works are so very English that it's rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age. Her most famous works — including Pride and Prejudice(《傲慢与偏见》) the one for which she is most known — are set in the world of the English gentry (上流社会人士) in the early 19th century.
Most of her fiction is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work, so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject, of course, but the joy of Austen’s stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching comedy out of something so serious.
Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. The main plot of the novel is driven by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, a wealthy man. At first, they don't get on. Elizabeth finds Darcy too proud; she feels he thinks he is better than everyone else. She thinks that he looks down upon her family in particular. Darcy, while admiring Elizabeth, believes that she has taken unfairly to him. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these difficulties are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.
If we think about this story, it's obvious why Jane Austen is still popular more than 200 years after her death, and why readers can still have the same feelings with characters from the long dead world of the 19th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.
1.It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that the author ________.
A.believes Jane Austen's works are ahead of her time
B.thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen's works
C.has doubts about Jane Austen's popularity all over the world
D.is surprised that Jane Austen's works are still so popular
2.According to the text, Pride and Prejudice __________.
A.has a sad and unexpected ending
B.deals with a serious social issue in a lighthearted way
C.centers on poor people's struggles in the early 19th century
D.tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work
3.We can learn from the text that Jane Austen remains popular today because _________.
A.readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy people
B.readers are attracted by the way people deal with difficulties in the stories
C.readers can always find something new from her novels
D.her works deal with problems many of today's readers still face
4.The text is mainly written to ________.
A.tell us why Jane Austen is chosen to be on the new 10 note
B.introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice
C.explain why Jane Austen is still popular today
D.introduce Jane Austen's creative writing style

This app could checkmate dating game
George Church, a leading professor of genetics at Harvard University, is planning to create a dating app that can match users based on their genetic agreement.
①_____ Two people considering going on a date take out their smartphones first and check each other's genetic table to see whether there are any undesirable genes that cannot be determined from outward appearance. Genetic deficiencies(基因缺陷) that might lead to diseases in offspring will be screened out first. Heart disease No. Immune deficiency No. Hemophilia No.
②_____ Eye color, height preference, curly or straight hair. In the end, only those with the genes that promise the users a perfect child will date.
It sounds terrible. If the app becomes a reality, it could split people into different camps based on the genes they carry.
Some might argue that even now people are not wholly equal to each other—there are the rich and the poor to begin with. ③_____ Genes, on the other hand, are fixed, with no hope of changing at least in the near future.
Church didn't have this divisive goal in mind. In an interview, he said he hopes to let people know the genetic deficiencies in their mating partners so as to minimize the chances of giving birth to children with diseases. ④_____
The problem is not so much with genetic technology, which can help people find possible diseases before birth, and possibly even cure them through gene editing. But it would be a mistake to let everybody know of each other’s genetic information and make choices on that basis.
⑤_____ Gene sequencing(基因排序) is becoming increasingly popular with many people choosing to know their genes better. It is reaching a stage when it becomes urgent for the law to protect such information and avoid possible leaks.
A. He will make it.
B. This is how it works.
C. That in turn calls for legislation(法律,法规).
D. The app will be popular with different people.
E. Then comes the turn of harmless appearance characteristics.
F. But he will not be able to stop the above-mentioned possibility.
G. However, one can always struggle to improve one's quality of life.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when she faced a problem, she should try another solution instead of giving up. In the following years, Lisa always remembers her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer after growing up. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road.
After leaving college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted(针织的)sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches (编织法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself after talking with her for a while. The lady said it was the work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea. "Why not own a fashion store of my own That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes," she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweater.
Later Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order forty such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Lisa told the good news to Madam Dean. ______________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

答案：1-4.DBDC
解析：1.考查推理判断。根据"it's rather strange"以及"Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age"可知,作者认为Jane Austen的作品是非常英式的,具有她那个时代的特点,但是很奇怪在这个完全不同的年代她的作品依旧能在全世界继续流行,故从第二段得出的结论是作者很惊讶Jane Austen的作品仍然流行,故选D。
2.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"This is a very serious subject... comedy out of something so serious"以及第四段中的"The pleasure of the novel is... how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved"可知,作者认为《傲慢与偏见》以轻松的形式来处理严肃的社会问题,因此选B。
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段内容,尤其是最后一段中的"Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams"可知,Jane Austen的作品至今仍然流行的原因是尽管时代变了,但是寻求合适的伴侣仍然是人们生活中面临的最大挑战,而这个问题也是Jane Austen的作品探讨的问题。因此选D。

第二节
答案：①-⑤ BEGFC
解析：①根据本段内容可知，两个想要约会的人先拿出智能手机，检查对方的基因表，看看是否有不能从外表判断出来的不良基因，遗传疾病的基因缺陷将首先被筛选出来，因此本段主要介绍的是这款应用程序是如何工作的，故B项(它的工作原理是这样的）符合语境。
②空后提到的眼睛颜色、身高、卷发或直发都属于外表方面的，因此本段主要讲的是外表上的特征，故E项（然后是无害的外表特征）符合语境。
③空前说有人可能会说即使是现在，人们也不是完全平等的，一开始就有贫富之分，此处承接上文，讲的是关于生活质量方面的内容，故G项（然而，一个人总是可以努力提高自己的生活质量）符合语境。
④空前说在一次采访中，丘奇说他希望让人们知道他们的伴侣的基因缺陷，从而尽量减少生下有疾病的孩子的机会，此处承接上文，讲的是他的这个想法并没有成功，F项中的he指代的就是前面的Church，故F项（但他将无法阻止上述的可能性）符合语境。
⑤空后说法律保护这样的信息，避免可能的泄密，已经到了刻不容缓的阶段，因此此处讲的应该是与法律相关的话题，故C项（这反过来又要求立法）符合语境。

第二节
答案：① reliable② popularity③ attracting④ an⑤ who ⑥ However⑦ on⑧ constantly⑨ added⑩ has appeared
解析：①考查形容词。how修饰形容词、副词、动词，句中已有动词，为系表结构，作表语要用形容词，故填rely的形容词形式reliable。
②考查名词。所填词在定冠词后，并列连词and后为名词，and连接两个相同词性的词，所以所填词应为名词，故填 popularity。
③考查非谓语动词。句中主系表完整，所填词应为非谓语动词，非谓语动词的逻辑主语为The site，是动作的执行者，且与谓语动词同时发生，所以用现在分词，故填 attracting。

⑥考查连词。上文是 there are some controls，所填词后为it isn't easy，前肯后否，所以连词为转折连词，且位于句首，首字母应大写。故填However。
⑦考查介词。 keep an eye on“留意，密切注意”，是固定搭配，故填on。
⑧考查副词。updated为形容词，修饰形容词要用副词，所以要用constant的副词形式，故填constantly。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句中主谓宾完整，所填词修饰 information,用非谓语动词，information与add之间为被动关系，所以要用过去分词，故填added。
⑩考查时态。句中时间状语so far (到目前为止），表示从过去开始一直延续到现在，句中时态要用现在完成时，句中some of后接不可数名词misinformation,故填 has appeared。

I recommend a well-known Chinese book titled Journey to the West to you. The book was written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century during Ming Dynasty, which tells a story about Priest Tang and his three animal followers with human characteristics. Seemingly stubborn, weak and incompetent, Priest Tang played an important role in keeping the team united and bringing out people's kindness and humanity. I will send this book to you by airmail tomorrow, so please pay attention to your package.
I am looking forward to your view of this book.
Yours,
Li Hua

A woman in Pulaski, Virginia, says she was stopped by a squirrel, who pulled on her leg repeatedly and led her to help its injured baby.
Tia Powell was walking in Kiwanis Park when she was "approached by a squirrel", the Pulaski Police Department wrote on Facebook. The squirrel stood in her way on the path. After realizing that the squirrel did not mean any harm and wasn't going to leave her side, Powell turned around and the squirrel led her down the path to a baby squirrel with an injured leg.
At one point, Powell wasn't sure she could help and she began walking and the squirrel followed her again and actually pulled her trouser leg! So, she fed the squirrels a sandwich she had with her and watched them try to jump up into a tree. When she realized the baby squirrel was still struggling to get up the tree, she decided to call in backup. Powell called the Pulaski Police Department.
Powell didn't know how the baby squirrel got injured, but she thought a nearby street cat was the culprit(肇事者). So, the group of rescuers decided to move the squirrels to safer area. "We were able to get the baby and mother to a different area with more trees and it was able to climb all the way up and they looked very happy," Powell said.
She went back a few days later to show her kids where it all went down. In the trees, Powell spotted two squirrels staring at her, and couldn't help but wonder if they were the same squirrels she rescued.
1. Why did the squirrel stop Tia Powell
A. To attack her side. B. To save its baby.
C. To ask her the way. D. To pull her trousers.

Mom and I were putting the finishing touches on dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table. Instead of going to the dish cabinet, she went into the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched dinner plates on the bottom shelf.
When she had set all six places, she stood back and sighed, "Oh, Grandma, your plates are so beautiful. Ours are all alike!" We had a good laugh at her innocent remark, but as I think back to all those years ago, I believe she was right. Those plates were beautiful.
Mom worked for the local council on aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the litlle things that allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients got Meals on Wheels, a service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered with aluminum foil, and then deliver then to the people who she knew didn't get enough to eat.
This was about ten years before microwave ovens became common so it was important that the food be on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom's clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad's death until all her former clients had either passed away or moved out.
When I was cleaning out Mom's house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir(纪念品). That plate is a sweet reminder of the lessons of generosity and caring for one's neighbor that were modeled for me by my parents.
1. Why did the author think those plates beautiful
A. They were not all alike.
B. They were little Jessica’s pride.
C. They were collected from different places.
D. They were symbols of the parents' kindness.
2. What did the author's mother do to earn a living in the 1970s
A. Be a housewife.
B. Run Meals on Wheels.
C. Deliver food to houses.
D. Do housework for the old.
3. Why did the author's mother make to-go meals
A. It was her job.
B. She was good at cooking.
C. She wanted to help beyond her duty.
D. Her family didn't have enough to eat.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Plates of Sympathy
B. A Precious Souvenir
C. Services for the Senior
D. A Kind-hearted Mother
D
Jane Austen ever popular
Last summer, the UK honored one of its favorite writers, Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), by making her the face of the new 10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen's fame has increased to global fame.
Yet Austen's works are so very English that it's rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age. Her most famous works — including Pride and Prejudice(《傲慢与偏见》) the one for which she is most known — are set in the world of the English gentry (上流社会人士) in the early 19th century.
Most of her fiction is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work, so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject, of course, but the joy of Austen’s stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching comedy out of something so serious.
Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. The main plot of the novel is driven by the love-hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, a wealthy man. At first, they don't get on. Elizabeth finds Darcy too proud; she feels he thinks he is better than everyone else. She thinks that he looks down upon her family in particular. Darcy, while admiring Elizabeth, believes that she has taken unfairly to him. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these difficulties are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.
If we think about this story, it's obvious why Jane Austen is still popular more than 200 years after her death, and why readers can still have the same feelings with characters from the long dead world of the 19th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.
1.It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that the author ________.
A.believes Jane Austen's works are ahead of her time
B.thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen's works
C.has doubts about Jane Austen's popularity all over the world
D.is surprised that Jane Austen's works are still so popular
2.According to the text, Pride and Prejudice __________.
A.has a sad and unexpected ending
B.deals with a serious social issue in a lighthearted way
C.centers on poor people's struggles in the early 19th century
D.tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work
3.We can learn from the text that Jane Austen remains popular today because _________.
A.readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy people
B.readers are attracted by the way people deal with difficulties in the stories
C.readers can always find something new from her novels
D.her works deal with problems many of today's readers still face
4.The text is mainly written to ________.
A.tell us why Jane Austen is chosen to be on the new 10 note
B.introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice
C.explain why Jane Austen is still popular today
D.introduce Jane Austen's creative writing style

This app could checkmate dating game
George Church, a leading professor of genetics at Harvard University, is planning to create a dating app that can match users based on their genetic agreement.
①_____ Two people considering going on a date take out their smartphones first and check each other's genetic table to see whether there are any undesirable genes that cannot be determined from outward appearance. Genetic deficiencies(基因缺陷) that might lead to diseases in offspring will be screened out first. Heart disease No. Immune deficiency No. Hemophilia No.
②_____ Eye color, height preference, curly or straight hair. In the end, only those with the genes that promise the users a perfect child will date.
It sounds terrible. If the app becomes a reality, it could split people into different camps based on the genes they carry.
Some might argue that even now people are not wholly equal to each other—there are the rich and the poor to begin with. ③_____ Genes, on the other hand, are fixed, with no hope of changing at least in the near future.
Church didn't have this divisive goal in mind. In an interview, he said he hopes to let people know the genetic deficiencies in their mating partners so as to minimize the chances of giving birth to children with diseases. ④_____
The problem is not so much with genetic technology, which can help people find possible diseases before birth, and possibly even cure them through gene editing. But it would be a mistake to let everybody know of each other’s genetic information and make choices on that basis.
⑤_____ Gene sequencing(基因排序) is becoming increasingly popular with many people choosing to know their genes better. It is reaching a stage when it becomes urgent for the law to protect such information and avoid possible leaks.
A. He will make it.
B. This is how it works.
C. That in turn calls for legislation(法律,法规).
D. The app will be popular with different people.
E. Then comes the turn of harmless appearance characteristics.
F. But he will not be able to stop the above-mentioned possibility.
G. However, one can always struggle to improve one's quality of life.

When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when she faced a problem, she should try another solution instead of giving up. In the following years, Lisa always remembers her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer after growing up. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road.
After leaving college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted(针织的)sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches (编织法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself after talking with her for a while. The lady said it was the work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea. "Why not own a fashion store of my own That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes," she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweater.
Later Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order forty such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.

D
答案：1-4.DBDC
解析：1.考查推理判断。根据"it's rather strange"以及"Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age"可知,作者认为Jane Austen的作品是非常英式的,具有她那个时代的特点,但是很奇怪在这个完全不同的年代她的作品依旧能在全世界继续流行,故从第二段得出的结论是作者很惊讶Jane Austen的作品仍然流行,故选D。
2.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"This is a very serious subject... comedy out of something so serious"以及第四段中的"The pleasure of the novel is... how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved"可知,作者认为《傲慢与偏见》以轻松的形式来处理严肃的社会问题,因此选B。
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段内容,尤其是最后一段中的"Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams"可知,Jane Austen的作品至今仍然流行的原因是尽管时代变了,但是寻求合适的伴侣仍然是人们生活中面临的最大挑战,而这个问题也是Jane Austen的作品探讨的问题。因此选D。

第二节
答案：①-⑤ BEGFC
解析：①根据本段内容可知，两个想要约会的人先拿出智能手机，检查对方的基因表，看看是否有不能从外表判断出来的不良基因，遗传疾病的基因缺陷将首先被筛选出来，因此本段主要介绍的是这款应用程序是如何工作的，故B项(它的工作原理是这样的）符合语境。
②空后提到的眼睛颜色、身高、卷发或直发都属于外表方面的，因此本段主要讲的是外表上的特征，故E项（然后是无害的外表特征）符合语境。
③空前说有人可能会说即使是现在，人们也不是完全平等的，一开始就有贫富之分，此处承接上文，讲的是关于生活质量方面的内容，故G项（然而，一个人总是可以努力提高自己的生活质量）符合语境。
④空前说在一次采访中，丘奇说他希望让人们知道他们的伴侣的基因缺陷，从而尽量减少生下有疾病的孩子的机会，此处承接上文，讲的是他的这个想法并没有成功，F项中的he指代的就是前面的Church，故F项（但他将无法阻止上述的可能性）符合语境。
⑤空后说法律保护这样的信息，避免可能的泄密，已经到了刻不容缓的阶段，因此此处讲的应该是与法律相关的话题，故C项（这反过来又要求立法）符合语境。

⑥考查连词。上文是 there are some controls，所填词后为it isn't easy，前肯后否，所以连词为转折连词，且位于句首，首字母应大写。故填However。
⑦考查介词。 keep an eye on“留意，密切注意”，是固定搭配，故填on。
⑧考查副词。updated为形容词，修饰形容词要用副词，所以要用constant的副词形式，故填constantly。
⑨考查非谓语动词。句中主谓宾完整，所填词修饰 information,用非谓语动词，information与add之间为被动关系，所以要用过去分词，故填added。
⑩考查时态。句中时间状语so far (到目前为止），表示从过去开始一直延续到现在，句中时态要用现在完成时，句中some of后接不可数名词misinformation,故填 has appeared。
第三部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are interested in Chinese classics, I am more than excited because I am fairly a classical literature lover myself.
I recommend a well-known Chinese book titled Journey to the West to you. The book was written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century during Ming Dynasty, which tells a story about Priest Tang and his three animal followers with human characteristics. Seemingly stubborn, weak and incompetent, Priest Tang played an important role in keeping the team united and bringing out people's kindness and humanity. I will send this book to you by airmail tomorrow, so please pay attention to your package.
I am looking forward to your view of this book.
Yours,
Li Hua

Do you know how long it took me to make the sweater for you It took me one week, "said Madam Dean. Lisa was very sad to hear that. But she didn't want to lose such a great opportunity. It was really important to her.
Paragraph 2:

All the sweaters were finished in two weeks. The sweaters were all delivered to New York and they sold very well. Lisa was finally closer to her dream.
