She browsed through many platforms and read multiple information and found there indeed exists a certain demand for patient escorts, especially for the elderly, children, and pregnant women.

The walls of our house were supposed to be white. But I never remember them being white. At first, they were gray, then turning black. My father was a coal worker. He made charcoal (木炭) in our house. Have you ever seen charcoal being made The little bags you buy in the store for barbeque come from somewhere, and honestly, it’s a very dirty business.
I remember one day I was bagging up the charcoal with my dad, and it was really cold and raining. All we had was the tiny roof over our heads. After a few hours, I got to go to school, where it was warm. My dad stayed out, working all day. If he didn’t sell that day, maybe we wouldn’t have enough to eat. I thought to myself: At some point, everything is going to change.
For this, I owe football everything. I started to play football early. I played so much football that every two months, my boots would break apart. When I was seven, I must have been pretty good, because I scored 64 goals for my neighborhood team. That year, my dad got a call from a coach saying they wanted me to play there. My dad asked, “Oh, it’s too far away. Nine kilometers. How will we get him there ” My mom said, “No, no, no! Don’t worry! I’ll take him!” And that is when Graciela was born.
Graciela was an old yellow bicycle that my mother would use to drive me to the training ground every day. It had a little basket in the front. Imagine this: A woman biking through town with a little boy on the back and a bag in the basket with his boots. Up hills. Down hills. Through the dangerous neighborhoods. In the rain. In the cold. In the dark. Graciela got us where we needed to go.
Nowadays, people see me on YouTube, watch the World Cup and witness how I won the competition, but they don’t know the journey. They don’t know about my living room walls turning from white to black. They don’t know about my father working under a little roof. They don’t know about my mother riding Graciela through the rain and the cold.

This winter, the U. S. state of California received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts (融化).
Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.
More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under a large lake named Tulare Lake. At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.
Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. That means officials must increase the amount of water they release (释放) from the reservoirs. If too much water is released, the area might flood.
The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. People are placing sandbags close to elderly neighbors’ houses to block possible flooding. And they are looking at reports from water officials county officials, and from each other.
California has had very dry weather in recent years. Both cities and farm communities acclaimed this year’s winter rains. If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.
Officials announced plans to close parts of Yosemite National Park because of threats of flooding. The park is about 270 kilometers east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Nicholas Pinter is with the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. He said the lake’s size has always changed because of California’s weather. He described the surrounding area this way. “It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”
12. What made Tulare Lake disappear
A. Lack of rainfall. B. Natural disasters.
C. Human behaviors. D. Climate warming.
13. What does the underlined word “acclaimed” mean in paragraph 6
A. Feared. B. Prevented. C. Stored. D. Welcomed.
14. What might people of California hope to happen
A. The government can help them escape. B. The weather will gradually get warm.
C. There will be more rain there. D. Officials won’t let off water.
15. What can we infer from Nicholas Pinter’s words
A. It is difficult to deal with the flood. B. It is easy to keep the snow water.
C. The surrounding area is unfit to live. D. The lake is already overflowing.

Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on the island in the middle of the lake. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy, which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. On the day before the bass season opened, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put the fish back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“There will be other fish," said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,” My boy, rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
注意：
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
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.

The walls of our house were supposed to be white. But I never remember them being white. At first, they were gray, then turning black. My father was a coal worker. He made charcoal (木炭) in our house.

This winter, the U. S. state of California received unusually large amounts of rain and snow. Now, people worry that some areas will flood as the snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains melts (融化).
Ron Caetano lives about half-way between the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He is preparing to leave in case his community, called the Island District, floods.
More than 100 years ago, the Island District area was under a large lake named Tulare Lake. At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear. However, in very rainy years, farmland can still get covered with water.
Experts say reservoirs near the area will likely receive three times more water than they can hold this year. That means officials must increase the amount of water they release (释放) from the reservoirs. If too much water is released, the area might flood.
The Island District has organized a community network to help prepare for floods. People are placing sandbags close to elderly neighbors’ houses to block possible flooding. And they are looking at reports from water officials, county officials, and from each other.
California has had very dry weather in recent years. Both cities and farm communities acclaimed this year’s winter rains. If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.
Officials announced plans to close parts of Yosemite National Park because of threats of flooding. The park is about 270 kilometers east of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Nicholas Pinter is with the University of California, Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. He said the lake’s size has always changed because of California’s weather. He described the surrounding area this way. “It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”
12. What made Tulare Lake disappear
A. Lack of rainfall. B. Natural disasters.
C. Human behaviors. D. Climate warming.
13. What does the underlined word “acclaimed” mean in paragraph 6
A. Feared. B. Prevented. C. Stored. D. Welcomed.
14. What might people of California hope to happen
A. The government can help them escape. B. The weather will gradually get warm.
C. There will be more rain there. D. Officials won’t let off water.
15. What can we infer from Nicholas Pinter’s words
A. It is difficult to deal with the flood. B. It is easy to keep the snow water.
C. The surrounding area is unfit to live. D. The lake is already overflowing.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。今年冬天，美国加利福尼亚州遭遇了罕见的大量雨雪天气。现在，人们担心随着内华达山脉的积雪融化，一些地区会发生洪水。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At one time, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. But reservoirs (水库) and watering systems for agriculture caused it to disappear.(图拉雷湖曾经是密西西比河以西最大的淡水湖。但是水库和农业灌溉系统导致了它的消失)”可知，是人类行为导致了图拉雷湖的消失。故选C。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“California has had very dry weather in recent years.(加州近年来天气非常干燥)”以及后文“this year’s winter rains”可知，加州近年来天气非常干燥，所以城市和农村社区都乐于接受今年的冬雨。故划线词意思是“欢迎，乐于接受”。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“If the weather gets warmer slowly, the snow will not melt quickly and there may be little or no flooding. But if the weather gets hot quickly, that will bring trouble from too much melting snow.(如果天气慢慢变暖，雪不会很快融化，可能很少或没有洪水。但是，如果天气迅速变热，将带来太多的积雪融化的麻烦。)”可知，加州人期待天气将逐渐变暖。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It has been an engineering problem all along,” he said. “This is a bathtub (浴缸) with no way out.”(“这一直是一个工程问题，”他说。“这是一个没有出口的浴缸。”)”可推知，这种地理环境排水困难，对付洪水是很困难的。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。文章作者结合自身经历讲述了，我们不可能一直和所爱的人在一起，在此期间，他们可能会面临一些可怕的事情，与其为他们担心，不如保持一种积极的支持态度，尽我们所能来帮助所爱的人，给予对方安慰，比如给一个虚拟的拥抱的表情就是一个不错的选择。
【16题详解】
由上文“Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. (有时，家庭成员必须彼此远离)”和下文“Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort loved ones. (尽管我们知道他们在遭受什么痛苦，但远离会让帮助和安慰所爱的人变得更加困难)”可知，该空承接上文讲家庭成员彼此远离期间会发生可怕的事情，引出下文具体讲这些可怕的事情是什么（如遭受痛苦，让帮助和安慰所爱的人变得更加困难），E选项“在那段时间里，他们可能会面临一些可怕的事情。”切合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
由上文“Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort loved ones. (尽管我们知道他们在遭受什么痛苦，但远离会让帮助和安慰所爱的人变得更加困难)”和下文“Keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. (保持积极的支持态度比担心对方更有帮助)”可知，家庭成员彼此远离期间会让帮助和安慰所爱的人变得更加困难，作者认为比起担心家人，自己保持积极的支持态度更有用，该空应承接上下文讲家庭成员彼此远离期间担心没什么用，C选项“为他们担心太多是没有用的。”切合语境，该选项与下文形成对照。故选C项。
【18题详解】
由第一段中“Keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. (保持积极的支持态度比担心对方更有帮助)”可知家庭成员彼此远离期间，担心家人没有用，自己保持积极的支持态度更有用，第二段中“At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and analyses the situation. Was there a better way of time management Was there a better way of studying for this test (起初，和大多数人一样，我想试着解决问题并分析情况。有更好的时间管理方法吗？这次考试有更好的学习方法吗？)”可知作者忧心如何帮助女儿，再结合下文“Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. (有时，这甚至给她带来了更大的压力)”可知作者的忧心行为于女儿来说有时不是好事，且下文中“even”可用来引出更精确的说法，提示该空内容与下文一脉相承，该空应该讲作者的忧心行为于女儿来说并不总是有用，B选项“然而，这并不总是有帮助的。”切合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
由上文“Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to fix. However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation (有时，这甚至给她带来了更大的压力。有时听起来好像有什么问题需要解决。然而，在一天结束的时候，它只是令人感觉很累。在这种情况下该怎么办？)”可知，作者的忧心行为于女儿来说有时不是好事，听着好像女儿有问题要解决，但最后都没有涉及此事，作者不知如何是好，该空应承接上文讲作者不知如何是好的原因，A选项“很难读懂别人的心思。”切合语境。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由上文“I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情) this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness. It was a fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. (我决定只在网上和她聊天，这次发一个拥抱表情符号。这似乎比谈论解决方案更合适。给予空间也可以是一种帮助、安慰和善意的行为。这是一个有趣而有意义的实验，积极思考应该做的好事，而不是让它自然发生)”可知，作者结合自身经历明白了家庭成员彼此远离期间，给予空间也可以是一种帮助、安慰和善意的行为，与其为他们担心，不如保持一种积极的支持态度，尽我们所能来帮助所爱的人，给予对方安慰（如给一个虚拟的拥抱的表情），该空处于全文结尾部分，作者应肯定其感悟的道理，G选项“我已经意识到了这一点，我很感激有机会在网上分享。”切合语境，选项中“this chance to share online”引出下文“Give it a try too and you’ll enjoy sweetness. (也试一试，你会享受甜蜜的)”作者建议大家可以效仿自己。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国装饰中独特典雅的传统家具——屏风，主要包括其特色、功能和象征意义等信息。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：Chinese screen，又称pingfeng (屏风)，是中国装饰中一种独特而典雅的传统家具。用不可数名词decoration (装饰)作介词in的宾语。故填decoration。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：通常，它是由木材制成的，以外观精致为特色。feature是并列谓语动词，由is made of可知，描述事物的一般性特征，用一般现在时，主语it，谓语单数形式。故填features。
【38题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：中国屏风以其雕刻和绘画而闻名，它可以阻挡外界的风和噪音，盖住门，使房间变得私密。名词wind和noise是并列关系，用表并列的并列连词and。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：建筑师认为，一个屏风可以帮助控制房间内的能量如何流动，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。动词control后接宾语从句，由从句“the energy flows in a room”可知，从句中缺少方式状语，空处需表达“怎样，如何”，应用连接副词how。故填how。
【40题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：一个屏风可以帮助控制房间内的能量如何流动，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。泛指一种感觉，feeling以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：除了装饰和实用功能外，中国屏风也被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。主语the Chinese screen和谓语动词consider是被动关系，讲述一般性事实，consider用一般现在时的被动语态，主语the Chinese screen单数，谓语单数形式。故填is considered。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：当重要客人来访时，主人经常在屏风后面迎接他们，以示尊重和隐私。推断句意可知，介词as (作为)符合本处含义。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如今，中国的屏风因其多重角色而备受珍视和使用。主语Chinese screens和谓语动词treasure是被动关系，讲述一般性事实，treasure用一般现在时的被动语态，主语Chinese screens复数，谓语复数形式。故填are treasured。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句省略句。句意：无论是用来划分房间、创造隐私，还是为空间增添一丝传统优雅，中国屏风仍然是一件受人喜爱且有价值设计作品。此处是whether引导让步状语从句省略句，从句主语应为the Chinese screen，和从句谓语动词use是被动关系，从句谓语动词use用be done形式，状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致（或者从句主语为it）且从句谓语中包含be动词，可省略从句主语和be动词，用过去分词used。故填used。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：无论是用来划分房间、创造隐私，还是为空间增添一丝传统优雅，中国屏风仍然是一件受人喜爱且有价值的设计作品。形容词valuable (有价值的)作定语，修饰名词短语piece of design。故填valuable。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on the island in the middle of the lake. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy, which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. On the day before the bass season opened, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put the fish back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“There will be other fish," said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,” My boy, rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
注意：
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
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Do we do right when no one is looking
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Jackson found himself in a difficult situation. He really wanted to keep this largest bass in the depth of his heart. However, his father was so determined that he had no choice but to give up. Tears welling up in his eyes, he tried to hold it back but it was useless. He took a final look at the fish as if he were saying goodbye, and then he slowly put the huge bass back to the lake.
Do we do right when no one is looking I think if we had been taught to put the fish back when we were young, we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh and pleasant in our memory. It's nothing about others but only about ourselves, as well as our honesty. Not about how we have a chance to beat the rules when nobody watches out us, but about how we do the right thing and make the right choice.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jackson想起了自己11岁和父亲去钓鱼，他钓到了一条非常大的鲈鱼，但父亲却因为马上要到禁渔期了，要求他把鱼放生，最后Jackson还是把鱼放生了，告诉我们做出正确决定的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Jackson发现自己陷入了困境。”可知，第一段可描写Jackson最后还是把鱼放生了。
②由第二段首句内容“在没人瞧见的时候，我们是否仍能做正确的事情？”可知，第二段可描写这件事告诉我们的道理。
2.续写线索：Jackson陷入困境——Jackson放弃鱼——Jackson放生鱼——感悟
