4 Modern Robots That Will Shape Our Future
There was once a time when robots were limited to science-fiction movies and novels. Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for or service. Here are 4 examples.
Valkyrie
NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.
Schaft
This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away.
Ian the Invincible
Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go.
Telebot
Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.
21．What does Valkyrie feature
A．Built-in cameras. B．The capacity to use tools.
C．Its unique gender design. D．The ability to pick up objects.
22．What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common
A．They have the same height. B．They offer similar applications.
C．They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D．They now belong to the same firm.
23．Who is Telebot intended for
A．The disabled. B．The police. C．The elderly. D．The astronauts.
B
Marei S.B., 25, got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado, where she interned（实习）at Woodward, Inc., an American designer, manufacturer, and service provider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world’s largest aircraft companies. Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward, helping train the operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components.
“This was my very first internship, and I was amazed by the aerospace industry,” she said. “We were always crunched under deadlines, and customers, understandably, requested large work orders. There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is, but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.”
The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills. She worked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward. “The operations team didn’t necessarily have engineering degrees, so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words that we use,” she said. “It taught me to be specific and precise. Even if I have to repeat things three or four times, that’s totally fine. I’d rather be more repetitive and ensure each step is correct than have to rework the entire process.”
Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on how to manufacture specific products. That brought its own unique thrill, as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended.
Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth of engineering knowledge, which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said. “The internship taught me the technical knowledge I’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.”
24．Who is Marei
A．An American manufacturer. B．A graduate from Woodward.
C．A long-time worker of Woodward, Inc.. D．An advanced student gaining practical experience.
25．What does the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Extremely busy. B．Desperately frustrated.
C．Really satisfied. D．Especially random.
26．Which words can best describe Marei’s work in Woodward, Inc.
A．Boring but rewarding. B．Motivating and smooth.
C．Demanding but beneficial. D．Challenging and comfortable.
27．Why will Marei return to Woodward
A．To hunt for further study in high college. B．To realize the potential in teaching.
C．To better put the knowledge into practice. D．To fulfill the initial dream at the young age.
C
“Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express,” said American journalist Brenda Ueland. However, sometimes strict teachers or art world could kill creative spark in those who might not meet academic or art world expectations.
From a young age, Emily’s parents introduced her to art. Her father took her to world-renowned galleries in Germany, Italy, or France. Although her father loved and focused on Medieval and religious art, nine-year-old Emily was taken aback by the Modern Art. “I would go to the Modern Art section on my own. The paintings were fantastic, and my heart flew looking at them,” said Emily.
Although she loved arts and took creative subjects at school, she never had enough time to dedicate to painting. Only after she completed her Ph.D. in systematic theology（神学）at The University of St. Michael’s College in Canada, she found time to paint in 1996. “I was already teaching theology, and I enrolled（报名）in a watercolour class. Once I started, I could not stop,” she said.
Emily works as an independent fundraiser consultant for non-profit organizations, in addition to her responsibilities as a Fund Developer at Cardinal Felix Foundation. She regularly takes art classes or paints at home, but she packs her colours on every trip. “Painting helps me to get in touch with my true self. It has made my life richer,” she said.
In her painting, she likes to focus on a single object and draw attention to its details. “I like to see what is unique about an object and how it complements its surrounding,” she said. Emily enjoys creating colourful and novel scenes. She ignores remarks of those who follow strict art concepts and who is considered a genuine artist. Emily views art and creativity as a unique language that introduces her to different aspects of life and people. “Art is also my best friend. It is always here for me,” she said.
28．Why does the author mention Brenda Ueland
A．To share a depressing story. B．To clarify insights on art creation.
C．To assume the prospect of talents. D．To demonstrate the creativity of artists.
29．What do we know about Emily’s father
A．He led Emily to the door of art.
B．He accompanied Emily to paint all the way.
C．He was against the choice of systematic theology.
D．He had the same tastes in art and similar hobbies.
30．When did Emily actually begin to draw pictures
A．At a young age. B．During the trip to France.
C．In the University of St．Michael’s College. D．After obtaining her Ph. D. in Canada.
31．How did Emily react to the strict art critics
A．Turn a deaf ear and be true to herself.
B．Follow their professional and far-reaching advice.
C．Learn from their educational and creative remarks.
D．Adopt critical thinking to handle the criticism.
D
A species of spider lives its entire life underwater, despite having lungs that can only breathe atmospheric oxygen. How does it do it This spider, known as the Argyroneta aquatica, has millions of rough, water-repellent（防水）hairs that trap air around its body， creating an oxygen can and acting as a barrier between the spider’s lungs and the water.
Now, a team of researchers led by the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences （SEAS）, has developed a superhydrophobic（超疏水）surface with a stable plastron（胸甲）that can last for months under water, following the suit of the spider.
“Research in these materials is an extremely exciting area that continues to bring into the region of man-made materials elegant solutions evolved in nature, which allow us to introduce new materials with properties never seen before,” said Joanna Aizenberg. “This research exemplifies how uncovering these principles can lead to developing surfaces that maintain superhydrophobicity underwater.”
Researchers have known for 20 years that a stable underwater plastron was theoretically possible but, until now, haven’t been able to show it experimentally. One of the biggest issues with plastrons is that they need rough surfaces to form, like the hair of Argyroneta aquatica. But this roughness makes the surface mechanically unstable and subtle to any small change in temperature, pressure, or tiny defect.
But with a new method and a simple manufacturing technique, the team designed a surface from a commonly used and inexpensive material with a long-lasting plastron that kept the surface dry thousands of hours longer than previous experiments and even longer than the plastrons of living species. To prove the stability of the plastron, the researchers put the surface through the test-bending it, twisting it, hitting it with hot and cold water, and rubbing it with sand and steel.
32．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A．The characteristics of the Argyroneta aquatica.
B．The potential threat to the existence of the Argyroneta aquatica.
C．The effect of the Argyroneta aquatica in the water world.
D．The dilemma of the Argyroneta aquatica facing to survive underwater.
33．What may Joanna Aizenberg approve of
A．The prospect of man-made materials taking place of natural ones.
B．The necessity of measuring the advantages of developing creative surfaces.
C．The significance of detecting the principles in animals to discover rare species.
D．The benefit of observing nature and making full use of it to create new materials.
34．Why was it hard to produce a stable underwater plastron previously
A．Because of lack of raw materials.
B．Since there was no example to follow.
C．Due to the shortage of experimental experiences.
D．Because the special surface makes it difficult to be stable.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．A Breath-catching Spider B．Staying-dry Plastron Underwater
C．Innovations in Wildlife Protection D．Recognition of Copying Spider’s Role

Overcoming Fear of Failure
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all Or has fear of failure meant that, subconsciously, you undermined（削弱）your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure 36 It’s important to realize that in everything we do, there’s always a chance that we’ll fail. Facing that chance and embracing it give us a more rewarding life. Here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing.
Analyze all potential outcomes. 37 Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. You can map possible outcomes visually.
Set small goals. Imagining how life will be after you’ve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. So start by setting a few small goals. 38 Don’t focus on the end picture. Just focus on the next step. Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving towards your final goal.
Learn to think more positively. Every coin has two sides. 39 Learn to change your thoughts and focus more on the bright side of the situation, making you like yourself. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence.
40 In some cases, the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous（灾难性的）and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
A. Look at the worse-case situation.
B. It is up to you to decide which one to look at.
C. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends.
D. Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another.
E. If you are afraid of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals.
F. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging.
G. Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.

第二节 续写（满分25分）
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。
I can count a dozen friends, all in thei50s, who adopted a puppy. Actually, I did, too. Last year, I was suddenly consumed by the urgent desire to acquire a seven-week-old Australian shepherd. For one thing, this breed is one of the most energetic on the planet, whereas I am bookish, lazy, and middle-aged.
My trouble with dogs is that I never have the remotest clue what they want, and they never seem to have the slightest idea of what I’m saying to them. He was highly alert, yet unable to grasp a single thing. Kevin’s entire communicative gestures-whether he wanted food, exercise, permission to jump on the sofa, a toy, or, who knows, a conversation about the electric bill-consisted of walking up to me and staring. He did this about 50 times a day, just staring brightly without moving a muscle, and after years of living together, I still didn’t know what he wanted. We coexisted in a state of profound mutual （相互的） incomprehension.
“Sometimes I think,” I wrote in my journal, “it doesn’t matter that I don’t know what he wants, because we have nothing in common. Whatever he wants will be something I don’t want. He probably wants me to go outside and chase squirrels. I don’t want to.”
But one afternoon, there was only Kevin and I at home. My husband was on business abroad for several days and my son was also abroad attending college. I enjoyed my favorite book leisurely while Kevin had a rest or stared at me as usual. It suddenly began to thunder aloud and soon rained cats and dogs. I dashed out of the front-door to fetch the vegetables in my parking lot. The wind was so strong that the front-door just slammed loudly, closed, after I made my way out. Worse still, when I came back with the rescued vegetables, I found the keys were not with me. There was also no backup （备份） of the keys outside my house.
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。
At last, I realized the only one who could help out was Kevin. Eventually Kevin began to act.

An Unforgettable Debate
I took part in a heated debate in the hall of our library last week, which was themed on “Should we explore the sea or not ”
We students have prepared for the debate for a whole week, surfing the Internet, sorting out materials, dividing tasks among members...Everyone interested was excited to be present. I was for the opinion on “We should explore the sea.” After stating our position, giving hard evidence and cooperating with each other, we finally won the fierce argument.
Through the activity, I deepened my understanding of sea exploration and benefited a lot.
第二节 续写
At last, I realized the only one who could help out was Kevin. I took a deep breath and said to myself: “Just have a try. Maybe I can count on Kevin.” I called his name with all my strength and knocked at the door at the same time. But the rain and the thunder were so noisy that Kevin, who was in the sitting room when I went out, had no clue of my urgent need. I tried on and on. Fortunately, Kevin got it and ran to the front-door. I screamed to him to open the door and patted the outside switch to direct him. Maybe realizing my urgent situation yet not knowing what to do, he barked anxiously inside.
Eventually Kevin began to act. He seemed to know my trouble and did as I instructed. “Kevin, straighten up, seize the switch and lower your body.” Kevin did raise but missed the switch. I patted the outside switch to show him the target. Much to my surprise, he made it and opened the door for me. I hugged him with relief and gratitude. Maybe he really knew me, but I, should learn more about him.

He Ting and Xiao Han are now full-time artists and they run their own studios. They both graduated from Shanghai Normal University where they majored in traditional Chinese painting. It is created using ink and water-based colors on materials such as paper or silk.
Xiao’s paintings are created on round silk fans. Most are inspired by the pure, simple life of people in the Southern Song Dynasty. “That’s my ideal painting style and ideal life in a busy world,” says Xiao, who has set up a home studio in Shanghai with a window allowing him to enjoy the sunrise. Xiao says he plans to further his studies in poems and history. He also wants to travel around the world by the time he turns 40.
Instead of drawing people and life, the folding fans decorated by He Ting, on the other hand, feature paintings that are focused on landscapes. Born in the coastal city of Xiangshan in Zhejiang Province, He Ting loves the warm, delicate views of Jiangnan water towns.
“I think we are lucky. We are in a time when the government supports the culture industry completely. As the country develops, artists will get more chances to spread the culture both at home and abroad,” says He.

4 Modern Robots That Will Shape Our Future
There was once a time when robots were limited to science-fiction movies and novels. Now we have a wide variety of robots, available for or service. Here are 4 examples.
Valkyrie
NASA’s “superhero” robot is 6 feet 2 inches in height and was originally designed for use on the International Space Station. Valkyrie is able to walk by itself, pick up objects and use tools. NASA hopes that one day, it can help humans in danger zones and disaster-stricken areas. The robot is basically a she-bot since it was built with female characteristics.
Schaft
This robot, made by a Japanese company (which was later bought by Google), won the recent DARPA robotics competition. The 4 feet 11 inches in height robot can power itself instead of a battery. This gives it greater movement since batteries limit how fast the robot can actually perform tasks. Schaft blew the competition away.
Ian the Invincible
Ian, based on the Atlas robot, is created by Google-owned, Boston Dynamics. The 6 feet 2 inches in height robot has 28 hydraulically actuated joints and stereo vision. What makes Ian unique is the software which allows him to drive a car. Ian came second at the Robo-Olympics, but the 330pound giant still has quite a way to go.
Telebot
Still under development at Florida International University, Telebot will give injured and disabled police officers an opportunity to go back to work. The robot is 180 cm in height, travels on wheels and is remote controlled. Three HD cameras give Telebot a 360 degree view and with multiple sensors, it helps cops to monitor any dangerous situation from a safe distance.
21．What does Valkyrie feature
A．Built-in cameras. B．The capacity to use tools.
C．Its unique gender design. D．The ability to pick up objects.
22．What do Schaft and Ian the Invincible have in common
A．They have the same height. B．They offer similar applications.
C．They both won in the Robo-Olympics. D．They now belong to the same firm.
23．Who is Telebot intended for
A．The disabled. B．The police. C．The elderly. D．The astronauts.
B
Marei S.B., 25, got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado, where she interned（实习）at Woodward, Inc., an American designer, manufacturer, and service provider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world’s largest aircraft companies. Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward, helping train the operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components.
“This was my very first internship, and I was amazed by the aerospace industry,” she said. “We were always crunched under deadlines, and customers, understandably, requested large work orders. There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the best possible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced the industry is, but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospace industry.”
The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills. She worked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward. “The operations team didn’t necessarily have engineering degrees, so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words that we use,” she said. “It taught me to be specific and precise. Even if I have to repeat things three or four times, that’s totally fine. I’d rather be more repetitive and ensure each step is correct than have to rework the entire process.”
Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on how to manufacture specific products. That brought its own unique thrill, as the instructions she created could be used long after her internship ended.
Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth of engineering knowledge, which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to apply many of the things I learned at Harvard,” she said. “The internship taught me the technical knowledge I’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.”
24．Who is Marei
A．An American manufacturer. B．A graduate from Woodward.
C．A long-time worker of Woodward, Inc.. D．An advanced student gaining practical experience.
25．What does the underlined word “crunched” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Extremely busy. B．Desperately frustrated.
C．Really satisfied. D．Especially random.
26．Which words can best describe Marei’s work in Woodward, Inc.
A．Boring but rewarding. B．Motivating and smooth.
C．Demanding but beneficial. D．Challenging and comfortable.
27．Why will Marei return to Woodward
A．To hunt for further study in high college. B．To realize the potential in teaching.
C．To better put the knowledge into practice. D．To fulfill the initial dream at the young age.
C
“Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express,” said American journalist Brenda Ueland. However, sometimes strict teachers or art world could kill creative spark in those who might not meet academic or art world expectations.
From a young age, Emily’s parents introduced her to art. Her father took her to world-renowned galleries in Germany, Italy, or France. Although her father loved and focused on Medieval and religious art, nine-year-old Emily was taken aback by the Modern Art. “I would go to the Modern Art section on my own. The paintings were fantastic, and my heart flew looking at them,” said Emily.
Although she loved arts and took creative subjects at school, she never had enough time to dedicate to painting. Only after she completed her Ph.D. in systematic theology（神学）at The University of St. Michael’s College in Canada, she found time to paint in 1996. “I was already teaching theology, and I enrolled（报名）in a watercolour class. Once I started, I could not stop,” she said.
Emily works as an independent fundraiser consultant for non-profit organizations, in addition to her responsibilities as a Fund Developer at Cardinal Felix Foundation. She regularly takes art classes or paints at home, but she packs her colours on every trip. “Painting helps me to get in touch with my true self. It has made my life richer,” she said.
In her painting, she likes to focus on a single object and draw attention to its details. “I like to see what is unique about an object and how it complements its surrounding,” she said. Emily enjoys creating colourful and novel scenes. She ignores remarks of those who follow strict art concepts and who is considered a genuine artist. Emily views art and creativity as a unique language that introduces her to different aspects of life and people. “Art is also my best friend. It is always here for me,” she said.
28．Why does the author mention Brenda Ueland
A．To share a depressing story. B．To clarify insights on art creation.
C．To assume the prospect of talents. D．To demonstrate the creativity of artists.
29．What do we know about Emily’s father
A．He led Emily to the door of art.
B．He accompanied Emily to paint all the way.
C．He was against the choice of systematic theology.
D．He had the same tastes in art and similar hobbies.
30．When did Emily actually begin to draw pictures
A．At a young age. B．During the trip to France.
C．In the University of St．Michael’s College. D．After obtaining her Ph. D. in Canada.
31．How did Emily react to the strict art critics
A．Turn a deaf ear and be true to herself.
B．Follow their professional and far-reaching advice.
C．Learn from their educational and creative remarks.
D．Adopt critical thinking to handle the criticism.
D
A species of spider lives its entire life underwater, despite having lungs that can only breathe atmospheric oxygen. How does it do it This spider, known as the Argyroneta aquatica, has millions of rough, water-repellent（防水）hairs that trap air around its body， creating an oxygen can and acting as a barrier between the spider’s lungs and the water.
Now, a team of researchers led by the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences （SEAS）, has developed a superhydrophobic（超疏水）surface with a stable plastron（胸甲）that can last for months under water, following the suit of the spider.
“Research in these materials is an extremely exciting area that continues to bring into the region of man-made materials elegant solutions evolved in nature, which allow us to introduce new materials with properties never seen before,” said Joanna Aizenberg. “This research exemplifies how uncovering these principles can lead to developing surfaces that maintain superhydrophobicity underwater.”
Researchers have known for 20 years that a stable underwater plastron was theoretically possible but, until now, haven’t been able to show it experimentally. One of the biggest issues with plastrons is that they need rough surfaces to form, like the hair of Argyroneta aquatica. But this roughness makes the surface mechanically unstable and subtle to any small change in temperature, pressure, or tiny defect.
But with a new method and a simple manufacturing technique, the team designed a surface from a commonly used and inexpensive material with a long-lasting plastron that kept the surface dry thousands of hours longer than previous experiments and even longer than the plastrons of living species. To prove the stability of the plastron, the researchers put the surface through the test-bending it, twisting it, hitting it with hot and cold water, and rubbing it with sand and steel.
32．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A．The characteristics of the Argyroneta aquatica.
B．The potential threat to the existence of the Argyroneta aquatica.
C．The effect of the Argyroneta aquatica in the water world.
D．The dilemma of the Argyroneta aquatica facing to survive underwater.
33．What may Joanna Aizenberg approve of
A．The prospect of man-made materials taking place of natural ones.
B．The necessity of measuring the advantages of developing creative surfaces.
C．The significance of detecting the principles in animals to discover rare species.
D．The benefit of observing nature and making full use of it to create new materials.
34．Why was it hard to produce a stable underwater plastron previously
A．Because of lack of raw materials.
B．Since there was no example to follow.
C．Due to the shortage of experimental experiences.
D．Because the special surface makes it difficult to be stable.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．A Breath-catching Spider B．Staying-dry Plastron Underwater
C．Innovations in Wildlife Protection D．Recognition of Copying Spider’s Role

Overcoming Fear of Failure
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all Or has fear of failure meant that, subconsciously, you undermined（削弱）your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure 36 It’s important to realize that in everything we do, there’s always a chance that we’ll fail. Facing that chance and embracing it give us a more rewarding life. Here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing.
Analyze all potential outcomes. 37 Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. You can map possible outcomes visually.
Set small goals. Imagining how life will be after you’ve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. So start by setting a few small goals. 38 Don’t focus on the end picture. Just focus on the next step. Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving towards your final goal.
Learn to think more positively. Every coin has two sides. 39 Learn to change your thoughts and focus more on the bright side of the situation, making you like yourself. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence.
40 In some cases, the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous（灾难性的）and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.
A. Look at the worse-case situation.
B. It is up to you to decide which one to look at.
C. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends.
D. Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another.
E. If you are afraid of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals.
F. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging.
G. Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.

第二节 续写（满分25分）
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。
I can count a dozen friends, all in thei50s, who adopted a puppy. Actually, I did, too. Last year, I was suddenly consumed by the urgent desire to acquire a seven-week-old Australian shepherd. For one thing, this breed is one of the most energetic on the planet, whereas I am bookish, lazy, and middle-aged.
My trouble with dogs is that I never have the remotest clue what they want, and they never seem to have the slightest idea of what I’m saying to them. He was highly alert, yet unable to grasp a single thing. Kevin’s entire communicative gestures-whether he wanted food, exercise, permission to jump on the sofa, a toy, or, who knows, a conversation about the electric bill-consisted of walking up to me and staring. He did this about 50 times a day, just staring brightly without moving a muscle, and after years of living together, I still didn’t know what he wanted. We coexisted in a state of profound mutual （相互的） incomprehension.
“Sometimes I think,” I wrote in my journal, “it doesn’t matter that I don’t know what he wants, because we have nothing in common. Whatever he wants will be something I don’t want. He probably wants me to go outside and chase squirrels. I don’t want to.”
But one afternoon, there was only Kevin and I at home. My husband was on business abroad for several days and my son was also abroad attending college. I enjoyed my favorite book leisurely while Kevin had a rest or stared at me as usual. It suddenly began to thunder aloud and soon rained cats and dogs. I dashed out of the front-door to fetch the vegetables in my parking lot. The wind was so strong that the front-door just slammed loudly, closed, after I made my way out. Worse still, when I came back with the rescued vegetables, I found the keys were not with me. There was also no backup （备份） of the keys outside my house.
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。
At last, I realized the only one who could help out was Kevin. Eventually Kevin began to act.

An Unforgettable Debate
I took part in a heated debate in the hall of our library last week, which was themed on “Should we explore the sea or not ”
We students have prepared for the debate for a whole week, surfing the Internet, sorting out materials, dividing tasks among members...Everyone interested was excited to be present. I was for the opinion on “We should explore the sea.” After stating our position, giving hard evidence and cooperating with each other, we finally won the fierce argument.
Through the activity, I deepened my understanding of sea exploration and benefited a lot.
第二节 续写
At last, I realized the only one who could help out was Kevin. I took a deep breath and said to myself: “Just have a try. Maybe I can count on Kevin.” I called his name with all my strength and knocked at the door at the same time. But the rain and the thunder were so noisy that Kevin, who was in the sitting room when I went out, had no clue of my urgent need. I tried on and on. Fortunately, Kevin got it and ran to the front-door. I screamed to him to open the door and patted the outside switch to direct him. Maybe realizing my urgent situation yet not knowing what to do, he barked anxiously inside.
Eventually Kevin began to act. He seemed to know my trouble and did as I instructed. “Kevin, straighten up, seize the switch and lower your body.” Kevin did raise but missed the switch. I patted the outside switch to show him the target. Much to my surprise, he made it and opened the door for me. I hugged him with relief and gratitude. Maybe he really knew me, but I, should learn more about him.

He Ting and Xiao Han are now full-time artists and they run their own studios. They both graduated from Shanghai Normal University where they majored in traditional Chinese painting. It is created using ink and water-based colors on materials such as paper or silk.
Xiao’s paintings are created on round silk fans. Most are inspired by the pure, simple life of people in the Southern Song Dynasty. “That’s my ideal painting style and ideal life in a busy world,” says Xiao, who has set up a home studio in Shanghai with a window allowing him to enjoy the sunrise. Xiao says he plans to further his studies in poems and history. He also wants to travel around the world by the time he turns 40.
Instead of drawing people and life, the folding fans decorated by He Ting, on the other hand, feature paintings that are focused on landscapes. Born in the coastal city of Xiangshan in Zhejiang Province, He Ting loves the warm, delicate views of Jiangnan water towns.
“I think we are lucky. We are in a time when the government supports the culture industry completely. As the country develops, artists will get more chances to spread the culture both at home and abroad,” says He.
