Fun Fall Weekend Getaways.
Gulf Shores, Alabama:
Alabama’s Gulf Shores is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable prices on hotels. Head to Gulf Shores for warm ocean waters and lovely white sand beaches that you may have all to yourself. There’s also plenty to do at this beach destination outside of playing in the sand and surfing. For example, you can visit a downtown music bar.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque’s amazing landscapes provide an enjoyment for visitors year-round. However, visiting in fall allows you to enjoy the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October. Book a trip in early October to see hundreds of brightly colored balloons dot the sky—you can even take a balloon ride yourself. Because this hot air ball oon festival is such a popular event, you’ll want to secure accommodations well in advance.
Laconia, New Hampshire
You may not have heard of Laconia before. This small New Hampshire city is mostly known for its incredible fall festivals. Perhaps you’ve heard the famous New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival, which takes place here in late October. Plan a weekend getaway to check out the amazing display of jack-o’-lanterns, live music, the Children’s Costume Parade, a cornhole tournament and more.
Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Located around 75 miles southwest of the nation’s capital is Shenandoah National Park, a great place for leaf peeping（赏叶）and exploring the outdoors in autumn. This national park has more than 200,000 acres of forest, waterfalls, flower fields and plenty of wildlife. For example, you can spot black bears, deer and birds throughout the national park.
21. What can tourists do in Alabama’s Gulf Shores
A. Attend pumpkin exhibitions. B. See beautiful fallen leaves.

On Sunday night, the police found a baby koala in a bag in the town of Wishart in Queensland, Australia, during a traffic stop. Queensland police spokesperson Michael Beatty said that the officers asked a 50-year-old driver if she had anything to report. She then told the officers that she had a baby koala in her bag.
“Not quite believing their ears, the officers cautiously opened the bag and found this lovely boy and we’ve called him Alfred,” the spokesperson said. “The young koala is about 6 months old and weighs 1.5 kg. It appears to be healthy, though it was very thirsty.”
The police are warning people who find koalas to turn them over to authorities, rather than try to take care of them themselves. Koalas are protected in parts of Australia, including in Queensland, where they have been listed as “threatened” under the Nature Conservation Act.
Of course, koalas are also violent animals. One particularly wild koala even attacked a farmer in South Australia when she was riding along a muddy road.
“As it started running towards me, I thought I’d better speed up,” the terrified farmer told reporters. “But the road was too muddy, So I abandoned my bike and ran away. Fortunately, it ran up and attached itself to the dirty wheel—perhaps mistaking it for a eucalyptus tree.”
Deakin University biologist Desley. Whisson has some tips in case you experience this predicament. “Koalas more generally run from than to people. The farmer did the right thing by moving away from her bike,” she said. “The best advice I can give to people is to not fight with a koala displaying unusual behaviour. Make sure that there is another object between you and the koala so that it can’t climb you. Or you can just simply run. Their fingers are very sharp.”
She also believed the koala might have been confusing the sound of the bike with that of a koala mate.
24. What do the police in Wishart most likely want to tell the public
A. Koalas are protected by law all over Australia.
B. It is illegal for the public to keep koalas in Queensland.
C. The public should stay away from violent animals.
D. Baby koalas are too violent to be kept in bags.
25. What can we learn about adult koalas
A. They enjoy climbing bikes. B. They have good eyesight.
C. They can be dangerous. D. They weigh about 1.5kg.
26. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Boring animal. B. Interesting event.
C. Pleasant meeting. D. Difficult situation.
27. From which is the text probably taken
A. A research paper. B. The Nature Conservation Act.
C. A news report. D. An announcement from the police.
C
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society suggests that Leonardo da Vinci was more experimental with his well-known “Mona Lisa” than previously thought—and was likely the creator of a technique seen in works used a century later.
A team of scientists in France and Britain has detected a rare mineral compound（矿物化合物）, plumbonacrite, within the piece. Plumbonacrite forms when lead oxides（铅氧化物）combine with oil. Mixing these two substances is the technique that later artists like Rembrandt used to help the paint dry, according to the study.
Detecting the rare compound in the “Mona Lisa” suggested that Leonardo could have been the original user of this approach, said Gilles Wallez, an author of the study. “Everything that comes from Leonardo is very interesting, because he had lots of ideas, and he was an experimenter, attempting to improve the knowledge of his time,” Wallez said. “Each time you discovered something in his processes, you discovered that he was clearly ahead of his time.”
The “Mona Lisa”, like many other paintings from the 16th century, was created on a piece of wood that required a thick base layer. The researchers believed that Leonardo had made his mixture of lead oxide powder with linseed oil to produce the thick coat of paint needed for the first layer, while unknowingly creating the rare compound.
Nowadays, researchers aren’t allowed to take samples from the masterpiece, which resides at the Louvre in Paris and is protected behind glass. Using a microsample that had been taken from an area of the artwork just behind the frame, however, scientists were able to analyze the paint by using a high-tech machine. “These samples have a very high cultural value,” Wallez said. “You can’t afford to take big samples on a painting.”
28. Why is Rembrandt mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate his unique talent for painting.
B. To show the technique was useful for drying the paint.
C. To stress what made him different from other painters.
D. To explain how he used the technique correctly.
29. What did Wallez think of Leonardo da Vinci
A. Pioneering. B. Strict. C. Independent. D. Friendly.
30. How did researchers think Leonardo da Vinci created the rare compound
A. By reading many books. B. With other painters’ help.
C. By accident. D. Through various attempts.
31. What can be learned about the “Mona Lisa” from the last paragraph
A. It didn’t contain plumbonacrite. B. Taking its samples is an easy task now.
C. It was created in the 17th century. D. Analyzing its paint is invaluable but costly.
D
A tiny crack grew in a very small piece of metal when placed under repetitive stretching. The experiment, designed to study crack growth, continued as predicted for a while. But then, something unexpected happened. The crack stopped growing and instead began to get shorter, effectively “healing（愈合）”itself. This incredible observation was made by a group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories. The findings were recently published in the journal Nature.
It would be reasonable to think, prior to this discovery, that self-healing metal was something that could only be found in science fiction. However, Dr. Michael Demkowicz, a professor in Texas A&M University’s materials science and engineering department and co-author of the recent study, held no such assumptions.
Ten years ago, while an assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s materials science and engineering department, Demkowicz and his student predicted self-healing in metals. “We didn’t set out to find healing. My student, Guoxiang Xu, was doing experiments on fracture（断裂）,” Demkowicz said. “We accidentally observed healing in one of his experiments and decided to follow up.” Then, just like now, the results in 2013 were surprising.
Both the 2013 models and the recent experiment used nanocrystalline（纳米晶体）metals, which make studying self-healing easier because their small grain size allows for more microstructural features that even small cracks can interact with. Demkowicz said that these features are common in many metals. One condition common to both the 2013 theory and the recent experiment is that both were conducted in vacuum environments without foreign matter. Such outside matter could influence crack surfaces’ ability to bond back together.
Even with this limitation, applications could still be possible for space faring technology or internal cracks that are not exposed to outside air. “The main impact of the current work is to move the original theoretical prediction off the drawing board and show that it occurs in reality,” Demkowic z said. Potential applications of this work could vary widely. Demkowicz suggests that self-healing could be possible in conventional metals with larger grain sizes, but future investigations will be needed.
32. What was the recent experiment aimed at
A. Challenging a former mistaken theory. B. Studying the uses of various metals.
C. Proving what happens in science fiction. D. Learning about crack growth in metals.
33. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By listing examples. D. By presenting ideas.
34. What is Demkowicz’s suggestion
A. Constantly changing the research environment.
B. Further researching the metals with larger grain sizes.
C. Learning drawing skills from different masters.
D. Paying much attention to the original theories.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Latest Developments in Science and Technology
B. Personal Achievements of Dr. Michael Demkowicz
C. Scientists Were Shocked by Self-Healing in Metals
D. The New Applications of Metals Were Found by Scientists

A. Re-read for sound
B. Re-read for meaning
C. Dig into the author’s history.
D. Notice where in the poem you react

Japanese researchers have developed computerized chopsticks that enhance（增加） salty tastes, 56 could help those who need to reduce sodium（钠）in their diets.
The chopsticks 57 （develop）by Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita and drink manufacturer Kirin Holdings Company in May.
Wiring connects the chopsticks to a small computer device 58 （attach）to the eater’s hand. A weak electrical current transports sodium ions（离子）from food through the chopsticks 59 the mouth. “As 60 result, the salty taste enhances 1.5 times,” Miyashita said.
The 61 （tradition）diet in Japan is salty. The average Japanese adult eats about 10 grams of salt each day. That is twice the amount suggested by the World Health Organization.
High sodium intake is linked to increased cases of high blood 62 （press）, strokes and other conditions.
“To prevent these 63 （disease）, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take in,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. Sat o 64 （add）that if Japanese people try to reduce salt intake in the usual ways, they will need to cut many of their favorite foods from their diet. Otherwise, they would have to eat bland or flavorless food.
Miyashita and Kirin are improving their chopsticks and hope to have them ready 65 （sell）as early as next year.

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。
Music is my first love. I can sit down at my electronic keyboard and forget all about time and space, all about my problems. During the lowest moments in my life, music was my savior. Besides, I would like to thank two volunteer organizations-one is America’s Veterans Services and the other is The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled.
I was a veteran(老兵). After I got out of the service, I began a career in music, and then became an ironworker for higher pay. A few years ago, the one-bedroom house I rented in Massachusetts was sold. The developer planned to tear it down. The property manager gave me two months rent-free to find a new place to live. It didn’t help because I’d been disabled from an accident at work and was living on benefits. Nothing affordable turned up.
With the help of two friends, I silently and hopelessly packed up my belongings and moved everything-including my electronic keyboard-into storage. I slept in my car, thinking it wouldn’t last long. But weeks turned into months and the months into years. My car had become my home.
The one thing that kept me alive was music. I would lose myself in music. Although I had developed cataracts(白 内障), nothing could keep my fingers from finding the right keys.
However, I hit my real low one Christmas Eve. I was driving down a narrow back road to where I would park my car and sleep at night. I turned right and accidentally ran into a wall. My car—my only home—lost its right front end.
At that point, I really had no place to live. Fortunately, Bruce Knight, a retired firefighter, heard about me. He drove me to a homeless shelter in York County where I stayed for 75 days. That’s where I met with case managers from Volunteers of America’s Veterans Services. They helped me move into their housing, a place called Huot House. I was able to sign up for Veterans Administration benefits and get the cataract treatment I needed to recover my eyesight.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

M: Hello, everyone. I’m a big fan of films about the spy James Bond. I’ve got most of them on DVD. I’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the part of Bond. It’s a great movie. All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who’s made lots of other films, plays the part better than any of the others. Even though he doesn’t talk very much, I think he’s the perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I did wonder sometimes in the film whether he’d be clever enough to defeat the bad people, but I’m not going to tell you the ending! The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance, too. I loved all the stylish clothes she wore! The director probably had a hard job making this film as full of action as the earlier ones. But the excitement starts right at the beginning here, with a car crash along a mountain road, and plenty of other thrilling scenes. Unfortunately, I found the story difficult to follow sometimes, and it also seemed to be over very quickly—it lasted under two hours. I also felt there weren’t as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the ridiculous Bond equipment—the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoyed it.

29. A 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘…he had lots of ideas, and he was an experimenter...’ Wallez said. ‘Each time you discovered something in his processes, you discovered that he was clearly ahead of his time.’”可推断，Wallez认为达·芬奇是有创造力的。
30. C 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers believed that Leonardo had made his mixture of lead oxide powder with linseed oil to produce the thick coat of paint needed for the first layer, while unknowingly creating the rare compound.”可知，研究人员认为达·芬奇是偶然地创造了这种罕见的化合物。
31. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“…analyze the paint... ‘These samples have a very high cultural value,’ Wallez said. ‘You can’t afford to take big samples on a painting.’”可推断，分析《蒙娜丽莎》这幅画的颜料是有价值的，但花费高昂。
32. D细节理解题。根据第一段“The experiment, designed to study crack growth, continued as predicted for a while.”可知，最近的这个实验的目的是了解金属中的裂纹扩展。
33. A推理判断题。根据第四段“Both the 2013models and the recent experiment used nanocrystalline（纳米晶体）metals... One condition common to both...”可推断,本段主要是通过作比较的方式展开内容的。
34. B细节理解题。根据最后一段“Demkowicz suggests that self-healing could be possible in conventional metals with large r grain sizes, but future investigations will be needed.”可知，Demkowicz建议进一步研究晶粒度较大的金属。
35. C 标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可推断，本文主要讲的是科学家们对金属的自我修复感到震惊。
36. F 根据本节小标题及空后“how does it make you feel How does the title fit the shape of the poem ”可知， F项“在开始读一首诗之前，你应该先读一下诗的标题”符合。
37. G 根据空前“If the title is sad, let the shape of the poem inform the small difference of the emotion—if it’s short and sparse（稀疏的）, maybe it’s coming from a place of desolation or desperation.”可知，G项“长而杂乱的形式可能意味着来自于迷惑或是愤怒的情绪”符合。
38. D 根据空后“—maybe your stomach churns（恶心）at a particular phrase...”可知，D项“注意你对诗的反应”符合。
39. A此处缺少小标题 ，本段主要讲了大声朗读诗句，体会其中的韵律，故A项“重读一遍 ，注重声调”符合。
40. C 根据空前“Finally, return to the poem context.”及空后“look at the publication date and consider the world around the poem when it was first released.”可知，C项“深入了解作者的生平”符合。

第二节
One possible version:
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life. One of the first things I did when I got settled was get my electronic keyboard out of storage and set it up in the TV room at Huot House. I’d play for hours, totally lost in the music. After listening to the music I played, Ken told me about The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled, where a “Day of Caring” was held every year.
I went to volunteer for the “Day of Caring” held by The Paul Hazelton House. I played several songs for the seniors and disabled there. Music, the universal medium that had helped me, was also a joy to others. People gathered around my electronic keyboard, clapping and singing. As I played the music, I thought back to what I had experienced. I realized how blessed I’d been that people had stepped up and helped me when I couldn’t see how to help myself. They took me in, encouraged me to make music and put me back on the right path.

Fun Fall Weekend Getaways.
Gulf Shores, Alabama:
Alabama’s Gulf Shores is attractive year-round, but the fall months bring fewer crowds and more affordable prices on hotels. Head to Gulf Shores for warm ocean waters and lovely white sand beaches that you may have all to yourself. There’s also plenty to do at this beach destination outside of playing in the sand and surfing. For example, you can visit a downtown music bar.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Albuquerque’s amazing landscapes provide an enjoyment for visitors year-round. However, visiting in fall allows you to enjoy the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which takes place in October. Book a trip in early October to see hundreds of brightly colored balloons dot the sky—you can even take a balloon ride yourself. Because this hot air ball oon festival is such a popular event, you’ll want to secure accommodations well in advance.
Laconia, New Hampshire
You may not have heard of Laconia before. This small New Hampshire city is mostly known for its incredible fall festivals. Perhaps you’ve heard the famous New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival, which takes place here in late October. Plan a weekend getaway to check out the amazing display of jack-o’-lanterns, live music, the Children’s Costume Parade, a cornhole tournament and more.
Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
Located around 75 miles southwest of the nation’s capital is Shenandoah National Park, a great place for leaf peeping（赏叶）and exploring the outdoors in autumn.

On Sunday night, the police found a baby koala in a bag in the town of Wishart in Queensland, Australia, during a traffic stop. Queensland police spokesperson Michael Beatty said that the officers asked a 50-year-old driver if she had anything to report. She then told the officers that she had a baby koala in her bag.
“Not quite believing their ears, the officers cautiously opened the bag and found this lovely boy and we’ve called him Alfred,” the spokesperson said. “The young koala is about 6 months old and weighs 1.5 kg. It appears to be healthy, though it was very thirsty.”
The police are warning people who find koalas to turn them over to authorities, rather than try to take care of them themselves. Koalas are protected in parts of Australia, including in Queensland, where they have been listed as “threatened” under the Nature Conservation Act.
Of course, koalas are also violent animals. One particularly wild koala even attacked a farmer in South Australia when she was riding along a muddy road.
“As it started running towards me, I thought I’d better speed up,” the terrified farmer told reporters. “But the road was too muddy, So I abandoned my bike and ran away. Fortunately, it ran up and attached itself to the dirty wheel—perhaps mistaking it for a eucalyptus tree.”
Deakin University biologist Desley. Whisson has some tips in case you experience this predicament. “Koalas more generally run from than to people. The farmer did the right thing by moving away from her bike,” she said. “The best advice I can give to people is to not fight with a koala displaying unusual behaviour. Make sure that there is another object between you and the koala so that it can’t climb you. Or you can just simply run. Their fingers are very sharp.”
She also believed the koala might have been confusing the sound of the bike with that of a koala mate.
24. What do the police in Wishart most likely want to tell the public
A. Koalas are protected by law all over Australia.
B. It is illegal for the public to keep koalas in Queensland.
C. The public should stay away from violent animals.
D. Baby koalas are too violent to be kept in bags.
25. What can we learn about adult koalas
A. They enjoy climbing bikes. B. They have good eyesight.
C. They can be dangerous. D. They weigh about 1.5kg.
26. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Boring animal. B. Interesting event.
C. Pleasant meeting. D. Difficult situation.
27. From which is the text probably taken
A. A research paper. B. The Nature Conservation Act.
C. A news report. D. An announcement from the police.
C
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society suggests that Leonardo da Vinci was more experimental with his well-known “Mona Lisa” than previously thought—and was likely the creator of a technique seen in works used a century later.
A team of scientists in France and Britain has detected a rare mineral compound（矿物化合物）, plumbonacrite, within the piece. Plumbonacrite forms when lead oxides（铅氧化物）combine with oil. Mixing these two substances is the technique that later artists like Rembrandt used to help the paint dry, according to the study.
Detecting the rare compound in the “Mona Lisa” suggested that Leonardo could have been the original user of this approach, said Gilles Wallez, an author of the study. “Everything that comes from Leonardo is very interesting, because he had lots of ideas, and he was an experimenter, attempting to improve the knowledge of his time,” Wallez said. “Each time you discovered something in his processes, you discovered that he was clearly ahead of his time.”
The “Mona Lisa”, like many other paintings from the 16th century, was created on a piece of wood that required a thick base layer. The researchers believed that Leonardo had made his mixture of lead oxide powder with linseed oil to produce the thick coat of paint needed for the first layer, while unknowingly creating the rare compound.
Nowadays, researchers aren’t allowed to take samples from the masterpiece, which resides at the Louvre in Paris and is protected behind glass. Using a microsample that had been taken from an area of the artwork just behind the frame, however, scientists were able to analyze the paint by using a high-tech machine. “These samples have a very high cultural value,” Wallez said. “You can’t afford to take big samples on a painting.”
28. Why is Rembrandt mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To demonstrate his unique talent for painting.
B. To show the technique was useful for drying the paint.
C. To stress what made him different from other painters.
D. To explain how he used the technique correctly.
29. What did Wallez think of Leonardo da Vinci
A. Pioneering. B. Strict. C. Independent. D. Friendly.
30. How did researchers think Leonardo da Vinci created the rare compound
A. By reading many books. B. With other painters’ help.
C. By accident. D. Through various attempts.
31. What can be learned about the “Mona Lisa” from the last paragraph
A. It didn’t contain plumbonacrite. B. Taking its samples is an easy task now.
C. It was created in the 17th century. D. Analyzing its paint is invaluable but costly.
D
A tiny crack grew in a very small piece of metal when placed under repetitive stretching. The experiment, designed to study crack growth, continued as predicted for a while. But then, something unexpected happened. The crack stopped growing and instead began to get shorter, effectively “healing（愈合）”itself. This incredible observation was made by a group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories. The findings were recently published in the journal Nature.
It would be reasonable to think, prior to this discovery, that self-healing metal was something that could only be found in science fiction. However, Dr. Michael Demkowicz, a professor in Texas A&M University’s materials science and engineering department and co-author of the recent study, held no such assumptions.
Ten years ago, while an assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s materials science and engineering department, Demkowicz and his student predicted self-healing in metals. “We didn’t set out to find healing. My student, Guoxiang Xu, was doing experiments on fracture（断裂）,” Demkowicz said. “We accidentally observed healing in one of his experiments and decided to follow up.” Then, just like now, the results in 2013 were surprising.
Both the 2013 models and the recent experiment used nanocrystalline（纳米晶体）metals, which make studying self-healing easier because their small grain size allows for more microstructural features that even small cracks can interact with. Demkowicz said that these features are common in many metals. One condition common to both the 2013 theory and the recent experiment is that both were conducted in vacuum environments without foreign matter. Such outside matter could influence crack surfaces’ ability to bond back together.
Even with this limitation, applications could still be possible for space faring technology or internal cracks that are not exposed to outside air. “The main impact of the current work is to move the original theoretical prediction off the drawing board and show that it occurs in reality,” Demkowic z said. Potential applications of this work could vary widely. Demkowicz suggests that self-healing could be possible in conventional metals with larger grain sizes, but future investigations will be needed.
32. What was the recent experiment aimed at
A. Challenging a former mistaken theory. B. Studying the uses of various metals.
C. Proving what happens in science fiction. D. Learning about crack growth in metals.
33. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By listing examples. D. By presenting ideas.
34. What is Demkowicz’s suggestion
A. Constantly changing the research environment.
B. Further researching the metals with larger grain sizes.
C. Learning drawing skills from different masters.
D. Paying much attention to the original theories.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Latest Developments in Science and Technology
B. Personal Achievements of Dr. Michael Demkowicz
C. Scientists Were Shocked by Self-Healing in Metals
D. The New Applications of Metals Were Found by Scientists

Japanese researchers have developed computerized chopsticks that enhance（增加） salty tastes, 56 could help those who need to reduce sodium（钠）in their diets.
The chopsticks 57 （develop）by Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita and drink manufacturer Kirin Holdings Company in May.
Wiring connects the chopsticks to a small computer device 58 （attach）to the eater’s hand. A weak electrical current transports sodium ions（离子）from food through the chopsticks 59 the mouth. “As 60 result, the salty taste enhances 1.5 times,” Miyashita said.
The 61 （tradition）diet in Japan is salty. The average Japanese adult eats about 10 grams of salt each day. That is twice the amount suggested by the World Health Organization.
High sodium intake is linked to increased cases of high blood 62 （press）, strokes and other conditions.
“To prevent these 63 （disease）, we need to reduce the amount of salt we take in,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sato. Sat o 64 （add）that if Japanese people try to reduce salt intake in the usual ways, they will need to cut many of their favorite foods from their diet. Otherwise, they would have to eat bland or flavorless food.
Miyashita and Kirin are improving their chopsticks and hope to have them ready 65 （sell）as early as next year.

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。
Music is my first love. I can sit down at my electronic keyboard and forget all about time and space, all about my problems. During the lowest moments in my life, music was my savior. Besides, I would like to thank two volunteer organizations-one is America’s Veterans Services and the other is The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled.
I was a veteran(老兵). After I got out of the service, I began a career in music, and then became an ironworker for higher pay. A few years ago, the one-bedroom house I rented in Massachusetts was sold. The developer planned to tear it down. The property manager gave me two months rent-free to find a new place to live. It didn’t help because I’d been disabled from an accident at work and was living on benefits. Nothing affordable turned up.
With the help of two friends, I silently and hopelessly packed up my belongings and moved everything-including my electronic keyboard-into storage. I slept in my car, thinking it wouldn’t last long. But weeks turned into months and the months into years. My car had become my home.
The one thing that kept me alive was music. I would lose myself in music. Although I had developed cataracts(白 内障), nothing could keep my fingers from finding the right keys.
However, I hit my real low one Christmas Eve. I was driving down a narrow back road to where I would park my car and sleep at night. I turned right and accidentally ran into a wall. My car—my only home—lost its right front end.
At that point, I really had no place to live. Fortunately, Bruce Knight, a retired firefighter, heard about me. He drove me to a homeless shelter in York County where I stayed for 75 days. That’s where I met with case managers from Volunteers of America’s Veterans Services. They helped me move into their housing, a place called Huot House. I was able to sign up for Veterans Administration benefits and get the cataract treatment I needed to recover my eyesight.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

M: Hello, everyone. I’m a big fan of films about the spy James Bond. I’ve got most of them on DVD. I’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the part of Bond. It’s a great movie. All the actors who’ve played James Bond have been great, but Daniel Craig, who’s made lots of other films, plays the part better than any of the others. Even though he doesn’t talk very much, I think he’s the perfect actor for the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I did wonder sometimes in the film whether he’d be clever enough to defeat the bad people, but I’m not going to tell you the ending! The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance, too. I loved all the stylish clothes she wore! The director probably had a hard job making this film as full of action as the earlier ones. But the excitement starts right at the beginning here, with a car crash along a mountain road, and plenty of other thrilling scenes. Unfortunately, I found the story difficult to follow sometimes, and it also seemed to be over very quickly—it lasted under two hours. I also felt there weren’t as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the ridiculous Bond equipment—the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoyed it.

Dear Jason,
Hearing that you are interested in the festival on science, technology and culture held by our school last week, I feel honored to make a brief introduction to you.
The festival included a wide range of activities, all revolving around its theme. We had a technology fair where students showcased their innovative projects. There was also a robotics competition and a 3D printing competition, as well as workshops on coding and 3D modeling.
I found the festival to be a rewarding experience, providing me with an opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in technology.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life. One of the first things I did when I got settled was get my electronic keyboard out of storage and set it up in the TV room at Huot House. I’d play for hours, totally lost in the music. After listening to the music I played, Ken told me about The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled, where a “Day of Caring” was held every year.
I went to volunteer for the “Day of Caring” held by The Paul Hazelton House. I played several songs for the seniors and disabled there. Music, the universal medium that had helped me, was also a joy to others. People gathered around my electronic keyboard, clapping and singing. As I played the music, I thought back to what I had experienced. I realized how blessed I’d been that people had stepped up and helped me when I couldn’t see how to help myself. They took me in, encouraged me to make music and put me back on the right path.
