[浙江2021年1月]At the start of the 20th century,an American engineer named John Elfreth Watkins made predictions about life today. His predictions about slowing population growth,mobile phones and increasing height were close to the mark. But he was wrong in one prediction: that everybody would walk 10 miles a day.
Today,in Australia,most children on average fall 2,000 steps short of the physical activity they need to avoid being overweight. In the early 1970s,40 per cent of children walked to school,while in 2010,it was as low as 15 per cent.
The decline is not because we have all become lazy. Families are pressed for time,many with both parents working to pay for their house,often working hours not of their choosing,living in car-dependent neighborhoods with limited public transport.
The other side of the coin is equally a deprivation: for health and well-being,as well as lost opportunities(机会)for children to get to know their local surroundings. And for parents there are lost opportunities to walk and talk with their young scholar about their day.
Most parents will have eagerly asked their child about their day, only to meet with a "good", quickly followed by "I'm hungry". This is also my experience as a mother. But somewhere over the daily walk more about my son's day comes out. I hear him making sense of friendship and its limits. This is the unexpected and rare parental opportunity to hear more.
Many primary schools support walking school-bus routes(路线),with days of regular,parent-accompanied walks. Doing just one of these a few times a week is better than nothing. It can be tough to begin and takes a little planning-running shoes by the front door,lunches made the night before,umbrellas on rainy days and hats on hot ones-but it's certainly worth trying.
1.Why does the author mention Watkins' predictions in the first paragraph?
A. To make comparisons.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To support her argument.
D. To provide examples.
2.What has caused the decrease in Australian children's physical activity?
A. Plain laziness.
B. Health problems.
C. Lack of time.
D. Security concerns.
3. Why does the author find walking with her son worthwhile
A. She can get relaxed after work.
B. She can keep physically fit.
C. She can help with her son's study.
D. She can know her son better.

[江苏南京部分学校2021高二期中]Our world is more connected than ever before thanks to technology. 1 Indeed,it is becoming increasingly important that we all learn how to deal with this painful feeling.
You should be determined to actively end your loneliness. We often end up passively waiting for someone else to make us feel less lonely. You may feel that your loneliness indicates that nobody is willing to connect with you. And there is nothing you can do about it. But that is far from the truth. 2
You should find reasons why you are lonely. We all feel lonely for different reasons. Some of us have no one to interact with on a consistent basis and that's why we feel lonely. You may feel that the people in your life don't share your thoughts and ideas. 3 you need to identify it. And you know exactly how to handle your loneliness.
4 People who are lonely tend to fall into destructive mental habits. They try to avoid the pain of not being understood and being disconnected by not giving people an opportunity to understand and connect with them. So the solution is to share your thoughts and feelings with others and to do so openly and fearlessly.
You should find people who share your interests. 5 everybody is interested in something. And just as there are many interests, there are many people who share those interests. Find what interests you and makes you connect with others on that basis.
A. Whatever the reason is,
B. When you feel really lonely,
C. If you want to make friends with them,
D. Whether it's coin collecting or video games,
E. You should be open about your thoughts, ideas and desires.
F. Ending loneliness is something that you can and should pursue actively.
G. However, more and more of us find ourselves having to stand loneliness.

[山东济宁实验中学2021高二月考]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。
Tim recently graduated from the university and was looking for a job. After searching on the Internet,he found that a famous online business company was recruiting(招聘)a new office manager. Many candidates(求职者)applied,but only one would be accepted in the end.
Tim was surprised to see that some of them held a Master's Degree or Doctor's Degree. But Tim was only a Bachelor(学士)and hardly met the lowest requirement. Tim felt a bit disappointed.
All the candidates entered the exam hall. Tim looked through the pages of the test paper and found out that the questions were very difficult for him. Tim tried to calm down and started with the easiest ones and moved on to the more difficult ones slowly.
There were two invigilators(监考人)in the hall. They seemed to be quite confident about the honesty of the candidates. After about 10 minutes,one of the invigilators left to answer a phone call. The other invigilator soon went out,too.
The atmosphere in the exam hall changed after the invigilators had left. Some of the candidates took out notes and books,and some of them took out mobile phones to search for answers,and some even called others for help.
Tim looked back,and he saw the candidate sitting behind him cheating too. The man whispered to Tim,telling him to cheat in the test because everyone was doing so. Tim shook his head and continued doing the difficult problems at a slow pace.
In about half an hour,the invigilators returned to the exam hall. Tim still had one question left blank at the end of the test. He was almost sure that he was not going to be accepted.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

【写作提示】
1.材料导读
本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Tim大学毕业后到一家公司去应聘办公室经理一职。应聘时,Tim发现自己的学历最低,感到有点失望。应聘考试过程中,两位监考员离开后,除了Tim,其他的求职人员都通过各种方法作弊。考试结束时,Tim还有一个问题没回答。他几乎可以肯定他不会被录取。
2.续写分析
(1)由第一段首句内容“考试结果令Tim很吃惊”可知,Tim收到了该公司的通知,告知被录用。Tim一定想知道原因,因而一定以某种方式与公司管理人员进行了沟通。
(2)由第二段首句内容“Tim理解了事情的原委”可知,他一定知
道了公司是刻意安排监考员离场,进而观察应聘者的诚信程度,所以可以描写公司一定通过监控或者考场里安排了伪装应聘者的公司内部人员了解了所有应聘者的答题情况,以及公司为何最后会录用Tim。
续写线索:Tim感到惊讶——收到录用结果——公司高层解释——Tim理解公司用意。
3.提分词句
be accepted as...,be arranged to test...,based on,require sb to do sth,in consideration of...,before Tim said a word(时间状语从句),sitting behind Tim in the test(现在分词短语作定语),that had happened(定语从句),whether the candidates were honest(宾语从句),even if no invigilator was there(让步状语从句),to hold this position(不定式短语作后置定语)等。
【参考范文】
The test result was a surprise to Tim. After one week,Tim received an e-mail from the company that said he was accepted as the new office manager. The next day,Tim went to the chief manager's office. Before Tim said a word,the chief manager smiled at Tim and explained that he was the candidate sitting behind Tim in the test.
Tim then understood everything that had happened. The test was carefully arranged to test whether the candidates were honest even if no invigilator was there. The chief manager continued to say that their company was founded based on honesty of the employees. The job of office manager would require the candidate to be independent and honest. In consideration of this,they found that Tim was the most suitable candidate to hold this position.
