Frightened, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years. So I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town.
On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India, we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s the fourth period.”
“But the bell just rang,” I said.
“That is the lunch bell, young man,” she said.
I apologized. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Everything here seemed like a hindrance I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.

6. What does the underlined word “hindrance” in the last paragraph mean

7. How did the author feel at the end of the day
A. Worried. B. Happy. C. Anxious. D. Surprised.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者在美国上高中第一天的情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years. So I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town.(我从印度远道而来，就是为了和在这里生活了三年的父母团聚。所以我在我的新城镇上了一所当地的高中)”可知，作者去美国上学是为了和父母团聚，故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India, we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.(他给了我一张叫做‘课程要求’的表格，我在印度永远也拿不到，因为我们没有这样的东西。然后他让我选择坐在哪里。其实我并不想选座位。在印度，我们有固定的座位，所以我从不需要担心这个问题。在剩下的时间里，我根据投影仪产生的图像做笔记。在印度的学校里，我们没有使用这项技术。老师讲课时我们必须记笔记)”可知，作者在美国上学第一天从很多方面都感受到了美国学校和印度学校的不同。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句后的“…I had to get through to reach my goal.(我达到目标必须克服……)”可猜测，划线单词hindrance为“障碍，困难”的意思，与D项Difficulty“困难”意思一致。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.(我看到我的公共汽车，高兴地坐在里面。我在想，今天还不错)”可知，作者在一天结束时感觉是快乐的。故选B。

At the start of every working week, millions of people around the world get ready for something they do endlessly, joylessly and badly: a meeting.
The reason is simple, says Madeleine de Hauke, a meeting coach and teacher in an Antwerp Management School. “We spend our lives and huge amounts of money on meetings, but there’s very little work that helps people run them effectively.”
Madeleine is correct. Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it.
I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the unkind off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler whose speech is endless. The rude multi-tasker. The one who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work.
The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine. A good meeting leader knows how to stop this behavior, or make sure it never starts by making it clear what will and won’t be allowed.
A bad meeting is like a virus (病毒). By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another. Luckily there is no need for a vaccine (疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.
8. What cause bad meetings according to the author
A. Boring meeting activities. B. Untrained meeting leaders.
C. Careless meeting coaches. D. Unreasonable meeting schedules.
9. Which is a typical behavior of a “Meeting Monster”
A. Never stopping his chatter. B. Scaring meeting attendees.
C Always raising questions. D. Refusing to finish his tasks.
10. Why does the author say “a bad meeting is like a virus”
A. It makes the attendees sick. B. It fails to produce decisions.
C. It results in more meetings. D. It requires care and preparation.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Spend More for Meeting Attendees B. Get Ready for Bad Meetings
C. Start the Week with a Meeting D. Kill the Meeting Monsters
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当代人们大多数时间都在为无聊且糟糕的会议做准备，指出办好会议需要技巧，并给出了一些建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it.(主持好会议需要技巧。人们需要提前知道他们为什么要开会，他们应该达成什么目标，谁真正需要在那里，他们应该如何出力。这听起来很明显，但事实并非如此，任何参加过毫无意义的会议的人都知道这一点。然而，会议领导人应该在工作中学习所有这些。我不记得有人教过我如何组织会议，也很少有工作需要我这样做。)”可知，根据Madeleine所说，糟糕的会议是由于缺乏训练的会议领导导致。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the unkind off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler whose speech is endless. The rude multi-tasker. The one who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work.(我也喜欢Madeleine对“会议怪物”的描述：那些用各种令人讨厌的行为破坏会议的人。一种是刻薄的跑题演讲者。背景中不停的噪音。说个没完没了的令人困惑的漫游者。粗鲁的一心多用者。一个什么都不说，只是后来发邮件说决定了什么的人永远不会成功。)”可知，“会议怪物”的典型行为总是喋喋不休。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后第一段“A bad meeting is like a virus (病毒). By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another.(糟糕的会议就像病毒。由于不能做出好的决策，它往往需要召开另一次会议，然后是一次又一次会议。)”可知，作者把糟糕会议比成病毒，因为糟糕的会议会导致再召开多次会议。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine.(“问题是，我们有时候都是会议怪物，”Madeleine说。)”以及最后一段“Luckily there is no need for a vaccine (疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.(幸运的是，不需要接种疫苗，只需要更多的用心和准备，以及理解学习如何很好地领导会议并不可耻。)”及全文可知，作者主要介绍办好会议，避免成为会议怪物需要的技巧。所以D选项“Kill the Meeting Monsters(杀死会议怪物)”可作为最好的题目。故选D。
D
Feeling overcome by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic elixir (灵丹妙药) most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness—but only up to a pared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” (富有成效的) or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions (假设), which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.”
12. How did the researchers carry out the study of the free-time “sweet spot”
A. By studying the collected data. B. By doing the experiment again and again.
C. By observing the respondents. D. By doing an interview with the subjects.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The activity. B. Free time.
C. The finding. D. The experiment.
14. Why does the author mention “soap opera” in paragraph 4
A. To present a fact. B. To make a prediction.
C. To explain an opinion. D. To introduce a topic.
15. What does the new study suggest about people’s happiness
A. Much free time with purposeful activities can affect people’s happiness.
B. The “sweet spot” has little connection with the amount of free time.
C. Much unfinished work is likely to make people feel worse.
D. People will always feel much happier with more free time.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，人们的空闲时间并不是越多越好，“最佳点”可能是每天两到三个小时，而这个“最佳点”与人们怎样度过空闲时间有关。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time.（研究人员分析了35000名美国人如何度过闲暇时间的数据）”可知，研究人员是通过研究收集到的数据进行空闲时间“最佳点”的研究的。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据it所在的句子“Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively.（他们中的大多数人认为，如果他们在白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感就会受到影响——但前提是他们把它毫无意义地利用起来）”可知，句中的它（it）指的是上文的free time。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care.（当然，对你来说，任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。如果在空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为对你有利）”可知，作者提到“肥皂剧”是为了解释上文提到的观点：对你来说任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively.（他们中的大多数人认为，如果他们在白天有很多空闲时间，他们的幸福感就会受到影响——但前提是他们把空闲时间毫无意义地利用起来）”和第四段“Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.（当然，对你来说，任何能增加幸福感的活动都是“富有成效的”。如果在空闲时间看肥皂剧让你感觉更好，你应该这样做，因为你有自我照顾。一些传统的生产性活动也可以变得简单而有趣。例如，散步和烹饪可以帮助燃烧压力，让人们处于一种心流状态）”以及第五段“‘In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,’ Sharif said, ‘our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.’（谢里夫说：‘在人们发现自己有大量空闲时间的情况下，比如退休或失业，我们的研究结果表明，他们可以有目的地利用新获得的时间。’）”可知，大量有目的的活动的自由时间可以影响人们的幸福感。故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了杰夫·金尼的书Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：通常家庭自驾游都很有趣的，对吧 根据句意可知，提示词修饰整个句子作评注性状语，应用副词normally，意为“通常”。故填normally。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：当旅行开始时，这家人充满了美好的希望，但事情并没有如他们所愿。根据句意可知，前后分句有转折关系，用并列连词but连接。故填but。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：日子一天天过去，坏运气越来越多。根据句意，应用介词with构成介词短语with more bad luck作伴随状语，其意为“有……”。故填with。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：他们在一个阳光明媚的水上公园度过了一天，但他们的车钥匙和钱包都丢在了那里。分析句子可知，lose(遗失，丢失)是分句谓语动词，与主语their car keys and wallets之间是被动关系，结合前面分句时态可知，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语their car keys and wallets是复数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上，谓语动词应用一般现在时的被动语态，复数形式。故填are lost。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：旅途继续，又发生了几起事故。several意为“几个”，其后跟复数名词，可数名词accident用复数形式accidents。故填accidents。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，在这个过程中，这家人找到了享受自己的时间。...time to do sth.为固定搭配，跟不定式作后置定语，意为“……的时间”。故填to enjoy。
【42题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：作为世界上最伟大的作家之一，金尼在讲述现实生活中可能出现的人物的故事方面做得非常好。“one of+形容词最高级+复数名词”是固定搭配，意为“最……之一”，句中指“最伟大的作家之一”，结合空格前定冠词the可知，提示词用最高级greatest。故填greatest。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：作为世界上最伟大的作家之一，金尼在讲述现实生活中可能出现的人物的故事方面做得非常好。分析句子可知，空格处为限制性定语从句，修饰先行词people，指人，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词who或者that引导该定语从句。故填who/that。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它真的很有趣，包括家庭乐趣和很多幽默。分析句子可知，include(包括)是句中谓语动词，与主语it之间是主动关系，根据句中并列谓语动词is可知，应使用一般现在时态，又因主语it是第三人称单数代词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般现在时的主动语态，单数形式。故填includes。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我发现自己读的时候总是笑。分析句子可知，提示词laugh作found后宾语myself的补足语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语myself之间是主动关系，所以应用现在分词，表示主动。故填laughing。

47. 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。
That night, Nick Bostic could only see a weak orange light as he drove down the streets of Lafayette. It was not until he drove his car further that he finally figured out what he was seeing. Oh my god, he thought, that house was on fire!
It was an ordinary night for Bostic, who was still figuring out how to make his way through a life that hadn’t always been easy.
That night, he was on the road back to his apartment just after midnight when he saw the house on fire. Fires were climbing up, and his phone was dead, with no other vehicles around coming to the rescue (救援). He ran around to the back door, not realizing that it was open. Without pausing to think about the danger, he ran into the burning building.
In the building were the Barrett families, and before the fire broke out, the Barrett couple had left home for a party, leaving their four children at home. Seionna, their 18-year-old daughter, was in charge. She was sleeping when she heard what sounded like an explosion (爆炸), followed by the heat and smell of smoke. Immediately she woke up the other kids, but then a horrible realization hit Seionna. The 6-year-old Kaylani wasn’t there, who would like to sleep in the living room. And the living room was on fire.
At the same time, Bostic peered (盯) into each room of the burning house, searching to see if anyone was home. He had just started climbing the staircase when he looked up and saw three faces from a room at the top of the stairs and peer down at him, their eyes wide.
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Bostic shouted.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He ran forward and threw himself out of the window, with Kaylani landing on his shoulder after the fall.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
“Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Bostic shouted. He quickly led them through the stairs and ran out of the building. After learning the 6-year-old girl Kaylani was trapped inside, Bostic bravely rushed back to the house. He began searching upstairs, but could not find the child. Suddenly, he heard a child crying. He moved with his body close to the ground to the little crying girl. But he couldn’t find the back door of the house quickly because of the heavy smoke. He was forced out of a second-story window.
Bostic ran forward and threw himself out of the window, with Kaylani landing on his shoulder after the fall. The children were finally saved. By the time, firefighters with fire engines had arrived because of calls from other people. With the efforts of the firemen, the fire was finally put out. The firefighters praised Bostic for his heroism. The Barrett couple rushed home and learned about the entire story, expressing deep gratitude to Bostic on behalf of the rescued children. It was the fearless Bostic who had saved these children’s lives. He set an example for us to learn from.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。晚上开车回家的路上Bostic发现有房子着火了，他冲进房子就出了三个孩子，当得知6岁的Kaylani还在房子里时，他有毫不犹豫的冲进着火的房子，费了很大劲找到Kaylani后，由于浓烟他们跑到二楼去，Bostic肩抗Kaylani从二楼窗户跳下，孩子们都得救了。消防队员表扬了Bostic的英勇行为。孩子们的父母更是对他深表感激。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“你们的房子着火了。你们得走了！”可知，第一段可描写Bostic如何把三个孩子救出着火的房子并返回房子去寻找没有出来的Kaylani。
②由第二段首句内容“Bostic冲上前去，从窗户跳了出去，Kaylani在他的肩膀上。”可知，第二段可描写Bostic救出了Kaylani，孩子的父母对他深表感激。
2.续写线索：冲进房子救孩子——救出三个孩子——得知6岁女孩Kaylani仍然没有出来——返回着火的房子——救出Kaylani——父母深表感激
3.词汇激活

①跑出去：run out of/dash out of
②使…陷入困境：trap/ensnare
③扑灭：put out/extinguish

[高分句型2] It was the fearless Bostic who had saved these children’s lives.（运用了强调句型强调主语the fearless Bostic）
[高分句型3] Bostic ran forward and threw himself out of the window, with Kaylani landing on his shoulder after the fall. （运用了with复合结构“with+宾语+现在分词”作状语）

Frightened, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been here for three years. So I enrolled (登记) in the local high school in my new town.
On the first day, I went to my second class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered, “Yes.” His voice comforted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India, we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector (投影仪). In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s the fourth period.”
“But the bell just rang,” I said.
“That is the lunch bell, young man,” she said.
I apologized. Without another word I headed for the dining hall. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Everything here seemed like a hindrance I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I saw my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t so bad.

At the start of every working week, millions of people around the world get ready for something they do endlessly, joylessly and badly: a meeting.
The reason is simple, says Madeleine de Hauke, a meeting coach and teacher in an Antwerp Management School. “We spend our lives and huge amounts of money on meetings, but there’s very little work that helps people run them effectively.”
Madeleine is correct. Running a meeting well takes skill. People need to know ahead why they are meeting, what they are supposed to achieve, who really needs to be there and how they should contribute. That sounds obvious but it is not, as anyone who has been to a pointless meeting knows. Yet meeting leaders are expected to learn all this on the job. I cannot remember ever being taught how to organize a meeting, and I have rarely had a job requiring me to do it.
I also like Madeleine’s descriptions of what she calls the Meeting Monsters: people who destroy meetings with all sorts of annoying behaviors. There is the unkind off-topic speaker. The non-stop noise in the background. The confusing rambler whose speech is endless. The rude multi-tasker. The one who says nothing but emails later to say what was decided will never work.
The trouble is, we are all meeting monsters sometimes, says Madeleine. A good meeting leader knows how to stop this behavior, or make sure it never starts by making it clear what will and won’t be allowed.
A bad meeting is like a virus (病毒). By failing to produce good decisions it often requires another meeting to be held, then another and another. Luckily there is no need for a vaccine (疫苗), just a bit more care and preparation, and an understanding that there is no shame in being taught how to lead a meeting well.
8. What cause bad meetings according to the author
A. Boring meeting activities. B. Untrained meeting leaders.
C. Careless meeting coaches. D. Unreasonable meeting schedules.
9. Which is a typical behavior of a “Meeting Monster”
A. Never stopping his chatter. B. Scaring meeting attendees.
C. Always raising questions. D. Refusing to finish his tasks.
10. Why does the author say “a bad meeting is like a virus”
A. It makes the attendees sick. B. It fails to produce decisions.
C. It results in more meetings. D. It requires care and preparation.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Spend More for Meeting Attendees B. Get Ready for Bad Meetings
C. Start the Week with a Meeting D. Kill the Meeting Monsters
D
Feeling overcome by your to-do list can make you unhappy, but a new study suggests that more free time might not be the magic elixir (灵丹妙药) most of us dream it could be.
The researchers analyzed data from 35,000 subjects about how Americans spend their free time. They found that people with more free time generally had higher levels of subjective happiness—but only up to a pared to those with less time, people with up to two hours of free time a day generally felt better. However, people who had five or more hours of free time a day generally felt worse. So the free-time “sweet spot” might be two to three hours per day.
Part of finding this “sweet spot” is connected with how people spend their free time. In an online experiment, the subjects were asked to imagine having four to seven free hours per day and spending that time doing “productive” (富有成效的) or “unproductive” activities. Most of them believed their happiness would suffer if they had a lot of free time during the day—but only if they used it unproductively. Though that experiment was based on the previous assumptions (假设), which is one limitation, it agrees with other experiments showing that being in a state of flow can benefit people’s mental health.
Of course, for you, any activities that increase your happiness are “productive”. If watching soap opera in your free time makes you feel better, you should do that due to self-care. And some traditionally productive activities can be easy and fun. For example, walking and cooking can help burn stress and put people in a state of flow.
“In cases where people find themselves with large amounts of free time, such as retirement or unemployment,” Sharif said, “our results suggest they can benefit from spending their newfound time with purpose.”
12. How did the researchers carry out the study of the free-time “sweet spot”
A. By studying the collected data. B. By doing the experiment again and again.
C. By observing the respondents. D. By doing an interview with the subjects.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A The activity. B. Free time.
C. The finding. D. The experiment.
14. Why does the author mention “soap opera” in paragraph 4
A. To present a fact. B. To make a prediction.

47. 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。
That night, Nick Bostic could only see a weak orange light as he drove down the streets of Lafayette. It was not until he drove his car further that he finally figured out what he was seeing. Oh my god, he thought, that house was on fire!
It was an ordinary night for Bostic, who was still figuring out how to make his way through a life that hadn’t always been easy.
That night, he was on the road back to his apartment just after midnight when he saw the house on fire. Fires were climbing up, and his phone was dead, with no other vehicles around coming to the rescue (救援). He ran around to the back door, not realizing that it was open. Without pausing to think about the danger, he ran into the burning building.
In the building were the Barrett families, and before the fire broke out, the Barrett couple had left home for a party, leaving their four children at home. Seionna, their 18-year-old daughter, was in charge. She was sleeping when she heard what sounded like an explosion (爆炸), followed by the heat and smell of smoke. Immediately she woke up the other kids, but then a horrible realization hit Seionna. The 6-year-old Kaylani wasn’t there, who would like to sleep in the living room. And the living room was on fire.
At the same time, Bostic peered (盯) into each room of the burning house, searching to see if anyone was home. He had just started climbing the staircase when he looked up and saw three faces from a room at the top of the stairs and peer down at him, their eyes wide.
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Bostic shouted.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He ran forward and threw himself out of the window, with Kaylani landing on his shoulder after the fall.
