Ta Leia Thomas, known as “Ace”, was working her shift at Brooklyn Centre Liquor(烈性酒) in Minnesota when a homeless man came in the store looking for boxes.

On Tuesday, the Instagram account @ nicekicks posted an update showing Thomas holding a new pair of the custom shoes she gifted a stranger in need.

I overnighted these customs to Minnesota and Ryan surprised her at work earlier today with not only these shoes but some other surprises as well. Ace, I want to thank you again for being awesome.

Tea originated in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2, 000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose. Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavor, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料) .
China first started exporting tea during the Ming dynasty(1368—1644), and the drink has since come to lead humanity’s drinking habits far beyond Asia. It is the most widely consumed drink on Earth today, aside from water and coffee.
In Chinese mythology, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong ( “Divine Farmer”) in737BC， when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi’an and western Tibet, showing that tea was grown at least 2, 100 years ago during the Western Handy nasty when it was most likely used as medicine.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies, resulting in today’s tea culture full of life. There’s no doubt that China’s tea culture has become one of the most popular, diverse, and unique traditions in the world.
China is already the world’s largest tea exporter. The inclusion of the country’s traditional tea-making process on the UNESCO list will obviously generate practical benefits for tea makers in the country and across the world as more resources are given to protect and preserve such millennia-old tea culture and technical practices. As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.
As one of China’s oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn’t just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A. Chinese tea has a fresh taste. B. Chinese tea is added with spices.
C. Chinese tea has a long history. D. Chinese tea has a rich variety.
29. When did China begin to export tea
A. In about 737 BC.
B. Two thousand years ago.
C. During the Ming dynasty.
D. During the Western Handy nasty.
30. How does the author find about Chinese tea
A. Hopeful. B. Objective. C. Careless. D. Disapproving.
31. What is the best tittle for the text
A. Chinese Tea Benefits the Globe a Lot
B. Chinese Protect and Develop Its Tea Culture
C. Chinese Tea Is Included in the UNESCO List
D. China Plays a Vital Part in Cultural Diversity

Two far-off planets are likely made of water, according to NASA’s research. They’re “unlike any planets found in our solar system”.
The system they studied is called Kepler-138 because it’s located within the field of vision of NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. Researchers have known about the existence of three outer planets within the Kepler-138 system, but have only just discovered two of them are likely made out of water.
They also discovered evidence for a fourth planet that hadn’t been described before. But the finding isn’t as clear as it might seem. The scientists didn’t directly discover water at planets Kepler-138c and Kepler-138d. Instead, they compared the sizes and masses of the planets to models for comparison. When doing so, they found that “up to half of their volume (体积) should be made of materials that are lighter than rock, but heavier than hydrogen or helium(氦)”
“We previously thought that planets that were a bit larger than Earth were big balls of metal and rock,” said Bj rn Benneke, the study’s co-author. “However, we have now shown that these two planets, Kepler-138c and d, are quite different in nature and that a big part of their entire volume is likely made up of water.”
The high temperatures on these planets mean they might be enveloped in an atmosphere of steam, according to NASA. “The temperature in Kepler-138d’s atmosphere is likely above the boiling point of water, and we expect a thick atmosphere made of steam on this planet,” Bjorn said. “Only, under that steam atmosphere there could possibly be liquid water at high pressure.”
The “water worlds” are outside their star’s habitable place—the area in which temperatures allow liquid water on the surface of a rocky planet, possibly supporting life. But the new planet described by the researchers, Kepler 138-e, does fall into that just-right area, according to the research.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add some background information.
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Provide some advice for the readers.
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
33. What do we know about Kepler-138d from the text
A. It is a little smaller than Earth. B. It is heavier than a rock.
C. It is like a planet in the solar system. D. It likely has high-pressure liquid water.
34. Which of the following may exist life according to the text
A. Kepler-138c. B. Kepler-138d.
C. Kepler-138e. D. A fourth planet.
35. How does the author support the theme of the text
A. By using examples. B. By stating study results.
C. By describing processes. D. By making comparisons.

Sometimes, life just throws a huge curveball at you, and you have to deal with it. For this girl, she kept going even though that curveball took away most of her.
Kate, 17, was riding home from Bear Lake with her families when they were hit by a truck. It was not a very serious traffic accident.
It was just a crash without causing any deaths. But it brought misfortune to Kate. She suffered the worst out of anyone in the car. In other words, she was the worst injured in her family.
Kate was badly injured from the waist down. There was no blood flow in her legs, and things weren’t looking good. She needed both legs amputated(截肢) above the knee and spent two months in the hospital. At that age, most of her classmates would be getting ready for college. But fate wasn’t so kind to her.
It was not easy to get back on track after such a misfortune, but life was still worth living on. At this time, Kate knew that she must encourage herself to be even stronger and fight with every challenge more bravely than before. She had to gain more confidence to shoulder the burden that nobody in her age had ever faced.
She was a cheerleader(啦啦队队员) at school, after all. She knew better than anyone that some encouragement and hard work can really make a difference. As a to-be adult, she also showed her uncertainty about her own future. She sometimes asked her mum whether she would ever drive or swim again. Her mother answered yes to everything she asked.
However, one thing was for sure: Kate would need a wheelchair for the rest of her life. What would you do if you had to live on a wheelchair What would you do if you wanted to return to your stage Luckily, Kate didn’t feel or do as you did.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

【解析】
【原文】A Russian man named Ham has always been interested in constructing things out of glass bottles. Not long ago, he built a unique house which was built almost entirely of wine bottles.
His children had always admired his work. They encouraged him to build a house someday.
But he always thought it was impossible. When Ham lost his seconds on, who passed away at the age of 18, he finally decided to build the house in the boy’s memory. So he started the search for suitable materials. To construct the 99-square-metre house, Ham spent about three years collecting over 12, 000 empty bottles. Ham believes that the house is quite strong and expected to stand for at least 100 years! In fact, he has built it in such a way that if some of the bottles break, they can easily be replaced. More interestingly, the house cost five times less than it would cost to build a house with regular materials. But Ham says he wasn’t thinking about the money. He just wanted to build the house in the way his son wanted. Ham gave away his piece of work to his eldest son as a wedding present. His daughter-in-law is quite proud of the house, and says she can’t wait to decorate it.

Tea originated in China over two thousand years ago. Today, the country owns over 2, 000 varieties of tea, differing in taste, sweet and purpose. Some teas, such as Huang Shan, refresh the sense of taste with their special flavor, while others, such as spicy chai, are added with spices (香料) .
China first started exporting tea during the Ming dynasty(1368—1644), and the drink has since come to lead humanity’s drinking habits far beyond Asia. It is the most widely consumed drink on Earth today, aside from water and coffee.
In Chinese mythology, tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong ( “Divine Farmer”) in737BC， when a soft wind carried some leaves into a pot of boiling water. However, the oldest dependable evidence comes from ancient plant remains found in 2016 in Xi’an and western Tibet, showing that tea was grown at least 2, 100 years ago during the Western Handy nasty when it was most likely used as medicine.
Generation after generation of tea makers experimented with different brewing (冲泡) techniques, leaves, and ceremonies, resulting in today’s tea culture full of life. There’s no doubt that China’s tea culture has become one of the most popular, diverse, and unique traditions in the world.
China is already the world’s largest tea exporter. The inclusion of the country’s traditional tea-making process on the UNESCO list will obviously generate practical benefits for tea makers in the country and across the world as more resources are given to protect and preserve such millennia-old tea culture and technical practices. As additional attention is brought to this traditional technique, the Chinese tea sector will further tap its potential and improve its growth.
As one of China’s oldest cultural practices, traditional tea processing techniques show the spirit of modesty (谦逊), peace, and comity (礼让). No matter your preference for green or dark tea, with milk or without, Chinese tea isn’t just brews. Instead, it is a bridge connecting different cultures and peoples.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A. Chinese tea has a fresh taste. B. Chinese tea is added with spices.
C. Chinese tea has a long history. D. Chinese tea has a rich variety.
29. When did China begin to export tea
A. In about 737 BC.
B. Two thousand years ago.
C. During the Ming dynasty.
D. During the Western Handy nasty.
30. How does the author find about Chinese tea
A. Hopeful. B. Objective. C. Careless. D. Disapproving.
31. What is the best tittle for the text
A. Chinese Tea Benefits the Globe a Lot
B. Chinese Protect and Develop Its Tea Culture
C. Chinese Tea Is Included in the UNESCO List
D. China Plays a Vital Part in Cultural Diversity
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B

Two far-off planets are likely made of water, according to NASA’s research. They’re “unlike any planets found in our solar system”.
The system they studied is called Kepler-138 because it’s located within the field of vision of NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. Researchers have known about the existence of three outer planets within the Kepler-138 system, but have only just discovered two of them are likely made out of water.
They also discovered evidence for a fourth planet that hadn’t been described before. But the finding isn’t as clear as it might seem. The scientists didn’t directly discover water at planets Kepler-138c and Kepler-138d. Instead, they compared the sizes and masses of the planets to models for comparison. When doing so, they found that “up to half of their volume (体积) should be made of materials that are lighter than rock, but heavier than hydrogen or helium(氦)”
“We previously thought that planets that were a bit larger than Earth were big balls of metal and rock,” said Bj rn Benneke, the study’s co-author. “However, we have now shown that these two planets, Kepler-138c and d, are quite different in nature and that a big part of their entire volume is likely made up of water.”
The high temperatures on these planets mean they might be enveloped in an atmosphere of steam, according to NASA. “The temperature in Kepler-138d’s atmosphere is likely above the boiling point of water, and we expect a thick atmosphere made of steam on this planet,” Bjorn said. “Only, under that steam atmosphere there could possibly be liquid water at high pressure.”
The “water worlds” are outside their star’s habitable place—the area in which temperatures allow liquid water on the surface of a rocky planet, possibly supporting life. But the new planet described by the researchers, Kepler 138-e, does fall into that just-right area, according to the research.
32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add some background information.
B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Provide some advice for the readers.
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
33. What do we know about Kepler-138d from the text
A. It is a little smaller than Earth. B. It is heavier than a rock.
C. It is like a planet in the solar system. D. It likely has high-pressure liquid water.
34. Which of the following may exist life according to the text
A. Kepler-138c. B. Kepler-138d.
C. Kepler-138e. D. A fourth planet.
35. How does the author support the theme of the text
A. By using examples. B. By stating study results.
C. By describing processes. D. By making comparisons.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The “water worlds” are outside their star’s habitable place—the area in which temperatures allow liquid water on the surface of a rocky planet, possibly supporting life. But the new planet described by the researchers, Kepler 138-e, does fall into that just-right area, according to the research.(这些“水世界”位于恒星的可居住区域之外——在这个区域，温度允许岩石行星表面存在液态水，可能支持生命的存在。但是根据研究可知，研究人员描述的新行星开普勒138-e，确实属于那个恰到好处的区域)”可知，开普勒138-e可能存在生命，故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Two far-off planets are likely made of water, according to NASA’s research.(根据美国宇航局的研究，两个遥远的行星很可能是由水构成的)”，第二段中“Researchers have known about the existence of three outer planets within the Kepler-138 system, but have only just discovered two of them are likely made out of water.(研究人员已经知道开普勒-138系统中存在三颗外行星，但是刚刚发现其中两颗可能是由水构成的)”以及最后一段中“But the new planet described by the researchers, Kepler 138-e, does fall into that just-right area, according to the research.(但是根据研究可知，研究人员描述的新行星开普勒138-e，确实属于那个恰到好处的区域)”可知，作者通过揭示相关研究结果来支撑文章主题，故选B。

2. 考查冠词。句意：不久之后，它获得了Adbusters的支持，这家加拿大媒体公司质疑文化对广告和购物的重要性。此处特指Adbusters的支持，应用定冠词修饰名词support，故填the。

5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：“不买东西日”要求人们在24小时内不要买任何东西。avoid doing sth.固定搭配，意为“避免做某事”。故填buying。
6. 考查连词。句意：通过让人们关注他们所拥有的，他们可以变得更加同情穷人和比他们拥有更少东西的人。“the poor”和“people who have less then they do”是并列关系，应用连词and。故填and。

67. 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。
Sometimes, life just throws a huge curveball at you, and you have to deal with it. For this girl, she kept going even though that curveball took away most of her.
Kate, 17, was riding home from Bear Lake with her families when they were hit by a truck. It was not a very serious traffic accident.
It was just a crash without causing any deaths. But it brought misfortune to Kate. She suffered the worst out of anyone in the car. In other words, she was the worst injured in her family.
Kate was badly injured from the waist down. There was no blood flow in her legs, and things weren’t looking good. She needed both legs amputated(截肢) above the knee and spent two months in the hospital. At that age, most of her classmates would be getting ready for college. But fate wasn’t so kind to her.
It was not easy to get back on track after such a misfortune, but life was still worth living on. At this time, Kate knew that she must encourage herself to be even stronger and fight with every challenge more bravely than before. She had to gain more confidence to shoulder the burden that nobody in her age had ever faced.
She was a cheerleader(啦啦队队员) at school, after all. She knew better than anyone that some encouragement and hard work can really make a difference. As a to-be adult, she also showed her uncertainty about her own future. She sometimes asked her mum whether she would ever drive or swim again. Her mother answered yes to everything she asked.
However, one thing was for sure: Kate would need a wheelchair for the rest of her life. What would you do if you had to live on a wheelchair What would you do if you wanted to return to your stage Luckily, Kate didn’t feel or do as you did.

Then the last football game of the season arrived.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Kate had to relearn how to live on a wheelchair. It could feel demoralizing and frustrating to have to relearn how to do a simple task. Most people don’t even have to think about it. But Kate undertook the challenge like a champ. Her family, friends, and even people she knew in the community gave her great support because they believed “Kate is strong”. The message “Kate is strong” stayed with the family throughout the entire journey of Kate’s recovery, with loved ones wearing shirts with the message written across the front.
Then the last football game of the season arrived. She arrived home just in time too, and she was able to join her fellow cheerleaders on the field. “It’s really important to me; it’s my favorite hobby by far,” she said. “I knew that it would be modified, but I was still able to be a part of the team.” She learned a new cheer routine, set to her favorite song. Finally she made it again. She successfully performed the routine at the football game with her team while sitting on a wheelchair. And now, just six months later, the senior in high school has regained her independence.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章主要讲述了17岁的女孩Kate的经历。她与家人一起遭遇了一场车祸，她是受伤最重的那个，需要在膝盖以上的地方截肢，在医院住了两个月。然而，作为学校里的啦啦队员，Kate深深地明白“鼓励”和“支持”带来作用。她没有因此而放弃自己，更加坚强地开启了“轮椅上的生活”，并成功地在最后一场球赛时进行了啦啦操表演。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Kate had to relearn how to live on a wheelchair.(Kate不得不重新学习如何在轮椅上生活。)”可知，第一段可描写轮椅上的生活对于Kate来说很困难，但她不放弃，而且有家人和朋友的支持。
②由第二段首句内容“Then the last football game of the season arrived.(接着，本赛季的最后一场足球赛开始了。)”可知，第二段可描写Kate想继续作为啦啦队员进行表演，最后在自己的努力下做到了。
2.续写线索：轮椅上的生活艰难——Kate的坚强——家人，朋友的支持——Kate想继续作啦啦队员表演——Kate的决心——Kate学习新的啦啦操——Kate成功了
