参考范文：
Hello, everyone! I’m Li Hua. I’m glad to tell you about my experience of English writing. First of all, I think reading and reciting beautiful English articles is the key to improving English writing. Besides, we know that wonderful words and expressions and correct grammar are important to a good article, so you should pay attention to studying English vocabulary and grammar. Last but not least, as the saying goes practice makes perfect, so you’d better keep writing in English. I suggest you get into the habit of keeping an English dairy.
I hope what I have shared here can help you.
That’s all. Thank you!宝鸡市金台区2022-2023学年高二下学期期末考试

I was a single parent of four small children. Money was always tight.
It was Christmas, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with parties and friends, drives downtown to see Christmas lights, special dinners, and by decorating our home. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping at the mall. I have saved $120 for presents to be shared by all five of us.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts about four dollars each.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, but my younger daughter, Ginger, was unusually quiet. I noticed she had only one small, flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars — fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I gave her I wanted to yell at her, but I didn’t say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and asked her what she had done with the money. This is what she told me:
“I was looking around, thinking of what to buy when I saw the little cards on one of the Salvation Army’s ‘Giving Trees’. One of the cards for a little girl, four-year-old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll with clothes and a hairbrush. So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll and hairbrush for her and took it to Salvation Army booth.”
“I only had enough money left to buy candy bars for us.” Ginger continued.
“But we have so much and she doesn’t have anything.” I never felt so rich as I did that day.
26. What excited the children most at Christmas time
A. Seeing the Christmas lights. B. Having special dinners.
C. Decorating their home. D. Doing Christmas shopping.
27. From the passage, we know that the doll and hairbrush probably cost Ginger ________.
A. twenty dollars B. one dollar and fifty cents
C. nineteen dollars and fifty cents D. fifty cents
28. We can learn from the passage that the Salvation Army is most probably ________.
A. a market that sells Christmas trees
B. an organization that helps the poor
C. a workshop that produces Christmas presents
D. an army that joins in Christmas celebrations
29. From the last two paragraphs, we know that Ginger was ________.
A. easy-going B. sweet-tempered
C. strong-minded D. kind-hearted

A. To introduce the history of Christmas.

The amount of plastic pollution in the oceans is rapidly increasing. This is problematic, as at least 700 kinds of ocean animals—including sharks, whales, seabirds and turtles—can become caught in the stuff or mistake it for a tasty snack.
While we know that some ocean animals seem to catch plastic because it looks like jellyfish or some other food sources, less research has been carried out into what plastic smells like to ocean animals. But now, a study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found the coating (涂层) that naturally builds up on ocean plastics causes the rubbish to give off the smell of food.
The researchers took 15 turtles, each around five months old, and placed them in a lab aquarium. They then piped in smells of clean water, clean plastic, turtle food, and plastic that had been soaking in the ocean environment for five weeks. The turtles showed no reaction to the smells of clean water or clean plastic. But when facing ocean soaked plastic or turtle food, they stuck their noses out of the water and showed increased activity.
“This finding is important because it’s the first proof that the smell of ocean plastics causes animals to eat them,” said Dr Kenneth J Lohmann, who took part in the study. It’s common to find a turtle with its stomach full of plastic materials. There are also increasing reports of sea turtles that have become ill and stuck on the beach due to their taking in plastic.”
According to the researchers, areas of the ocean with much plastic may trick turtles and other animals into thinking that there are plenty of food sources, when the opposite is true. “Once these plastics are in the ocean, we don’t have a good way to remove them or prevent them from smelling like food,” said Lohmann. “The best thing we can do is to keep plastic from getting into the ocean at all.”
31. Why is plastic pollution posing a threat to ocean animals
A. It may mislead them as food. B. It may eat up all jellyfish.
C. It may kill them with its smell. D. It may trap 700 species of sea animals.
32. What smell did turtles prefer according to the study
A. Sea water. B. Clean water.
C. Glean plastic. D. Ocean-soaked plastic.
33. What do we know from the study
A. Turtles seem to eat plastic because it looks like food.
B. Turtles have died out due to their taking in plastic.
C. Turtles eat plastic because it gives off the smell of food.
D. Turtles with their stomachs full of plastic were studied.
34. What are we supposed to do according to Dr. Kenneth J Lohmann
A. Keep away from the polluted ocean. B. Maintain a plastic-free ocean.
C. Remove plastic from the ocean. D. Stop people feeding turtles plastic.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Entertainment B. Literature
C. Health D. Science

There are too many classic literary works we should read that it’s hard to know where to start. Watch the movie version is certainly one way to get familiar with a book. Beside, the movie version usually gives you most of the important plots and characters informations. It may also help you decide if the book is worth reading it. Reading the original books is complete different. With far more characters and plot details, it allows you appreciate the beauty of the language in the book. As for which is better, it depends on that you need. If you just want to get the story, watch the movie version; for an more complete experience, the book version is definitely best.
