Top 4 Ecotourism Destinations in the World
Travelling often comes with an environmental cost—but by choosing to travel more responsibly and sustainably, you can help to reduce the negative effects of tourism. Here are four destinations that have already signed up to a more sustainable way of life.
Costa Rica
So, you want to escape Imagine a country that's one -quarter national park, a place where you could hike in a rainforest in the morning and surf tropical waves in the afternoon. Imagine an adventure Eden where all kinds of unique animals run before your eyes.
That country is Costa Rica Conservation has been developed here since the 1970s, with measures to protect areas, close z00S and reverse deforestation.
About 80% of the Osa Peninsula is protected; much of it is in Corcovado National Park, where visitors can follow guided trips with local groups. Activity options range from rainforest hikes to whale-watching, diving at Isla del Cano and surfing at Cabo Matapalo.
Finland
It's a nation where 80 percent of the territory is covered by forests Meanwhile, Finland's air and water is claimed to be the clearest.
The Finish Tourist Board has launched the Sustainable Finland programme to help visitors plan the most eco-friendly travels and engage with nature and local culture, knowing every step of their trip has been looked at from an economical, ecological, social and cultural perspective.
Bhutan
Until 1974, the Kingdom of Bhutan remained closed to tourism. Then one day, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck declared Bhutan open to visitors. Today, only those who have booked guided tours through approved travel agencies can enter Bhutan. Permits are charged at a peak- season nightly rate of $250 per person, which includes a 37 percent tax that goes towards improving infrastructure(基础设施) and strengthening the healthcare and the education systems. This strict policy means tourism is controlled, with local life largely untouched by its impact.
Botswana
As one of the most convenient locations to spot the "Big Five", Botswana's infrastructure has long been under pressure to meet the demands of the world's safari(游猎) market. Thankfully, the team at Great Plains Safari has been taking measures to minimize impact and invest in community-based opportunities to help local villages develop. One such measure is a kids' conservation camp, where children are invited to week-long courses to learn about their surroundings, the value of conservation and the role of environmental tourism.
21．What can tourists do in Costa Rica
A. Camp and swim. B. Hike and hunt.
C. Watch and catch whales. D. Dive and surf.

The Maryland Center for History and Culture(MCHC) is currently hosting "The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited", The exhibition spotlights Henson's unique contributions to children's education, including his creation of the Muppets(布偶).
Born in 1936 in Mississippi, Henson grew up in Maryland. His creative talents were evident when he was a student at high school. He loved cartooning and creating sets for school theater productions. While a freshman at university, Henson made puppets for a local TV station. The station's producers were so impressed that they asked him to produce his own puppet show. Called Sam and Friends, the program started in 1955. Viewers loved Henson's playful characters, including an early version of Kermit the Frog.
While at university, Henson majored in home economics. At the time, it was the only major that offered classes in sewing and textiles(纺织品), Henson not only honed his creative skills at university, but he was also good at marketing and business. "He was an entrepreneur who happened to get into puppetry," said Deborah Wood, MCHC's learning manager.
In 1959, Henson married Jane Nebel, whom be had met at university. The couple established
Muppets Inc. which later became the Jim Henson Company. It was there that Focus Bert, Ernie, Miss Piggy, and other Muppets were created for Sesame Street, a popular children's television program. Generations of children around the world have grown up watching and laming from the Muppets.
Henson, who died in 1990, created not just the Muppets, but also films, TV commercials, variety shows, and more. The exhibition shows every aspect of his career. This includes some lesser-known works, including The Cube, a short experimental film that was nominated(提名) for an Academy Award.
Visitors also get a chance to appreciate Henson's creative process and inventiveness through hands-on displays. They can even make their own Muppets. "For me, I think the really powerful message of this exhibition is the fact that it covers Henson's whole life and his whole career," said Chloe Green, public programs manager at the MCHC.
24．What's paragraph 2 mainly about
A. An interesting exhibition about Henson.
B. Viewers' attitude to Henson's works.
C. Henson's exceptional talents in creation.
D. Characters in Henson's famous works.
25．What does the underlined word "honed" mean in paragraph 3

27．What's the attitude of Chloe Green to the exhibition
A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture(湿气)in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge(电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a "small-scale, man-made cloud". Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it "Air-gen".
Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity-enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air.
The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity(湿度)before, but those methods didn't work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special "nanowires" made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores(纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space.
28．The Air-gen is invented
A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria.
C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture.
29．How does the Air-gen device generate electricity
A. By using large charges in lightening.
B. By changing sunlight into electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water droplets.
D. By turning water into a usable energy source.
30．What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen
A. It might not produce enough electricity.
B. It has a negative impact on the environment.
C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture.
D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources.
31．What's the best title for the text
A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source.
Flash droughts develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region's agriculture. They're also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, we found that the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in just a few weeks, is on the rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades.
In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of change will also rise. A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana 2017 caused $2.6 billion in agricultural damage in America alone.
All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What's interesting about flash droughts is how fast they strengthen themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses moisture rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaporative (蒸发的) demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes, Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts.
In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon. Slowing emissions can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low emission conditions.
32．What is the feature of flash droughts
A. Seldom happen and greatly beneficial.
B. Frequently happen and low risky.
C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive.
D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful.
33．Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A. Crops and vegetation die more quickly during long term droughts.
B. Slowing emissions can completely solve the problem of flash droughts.
C. In Europe cropland will suffer from more flash droughts by the end of this century.
D. Flash droughts won't have any effect on food production, energy, and water supplies.
34．What may be a factor that strengthens flash droughts
A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate.
C. The cold and wet weather. D. Long-term droughts.
35．How can humans help reduce flash droughts
A. By studying climate models. B. By speeding up global warming.
C. By changing cropland into forests. D. By decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
三、七选五
36．Parkour Around a City
There are many ways to travel within a city. ①_____ But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners laid down for us.
②_____To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs they jump, climb and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything they find in their path. ③_____
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100.000 people taking part in parkour (跑酷)today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. ④_____
But parkour enthusiasts themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as "a lifestyle". ⑤_____ Indeed, many do parkour just to escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It's great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
A. The city is their playground.
B. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus.
C. Parkour is more interesting than you ever know.
D. Parkour began in France, back in 1988, in the suburbs of Paris.
E. However, Parkour enthusiasts see the city in a completely different way.
F. For them, it is a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport,
G. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.

54．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。
Meagan and her close friend Samantha, both school teachers, lived together in an apartment in Denver. On mornings when Samantha had class, Meagan would help to watch her 2-year-old daughter, Hannah. Also part of the household was Meagan's pet, Willie, a particularly intelligent and chatty parrot.
Willie was indeed funny and a good talker. In addition to some vocabulary learned from Meagan, he became a great mimic(会模仿的动物) of cats, dogs, and chickens. Plus, he could sing along to the radio. The bird was a nice playmate for the little girl, and he always knew how to lift her spirits. The bird was more than just a pet; he was a member of the family.
One day, with Samantha at school, Hannah had comfortably positioned herself in front of morning cartoons while Meagan was busy cooking in the kitchen, preparing the little girl her favorite breakfast treat, an apple pie. When Meagan was done baking the apple pie, she placed it at the center of the kitchen table to cool. She looked at Hannah and, confident the child was fully engaged with the TV, walked out of the kitchen quickly to use the bathroom.
Meagan was gone maybe 30 seconds. And suddenly, she heard the bird going crazy, screaming loudly. She heard two very distinct words from the parrot's mouth. "Mama! Baby!" Repeated over and over again. "Mama! Baby! Mama! Baby!"
Meagan ran out of the bathroom to find Hannah in the kitchen, holding the partly eaten apple pie, fighting for breath, her face and lips a terrifying shade of blue. And Willie was still screaming loudly. Hannah had climbed up on a chair, gotten the apple pie from the kitchen table and was clearly choking on it.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With a pounding heart, Meagan grabbed Hannah immediately.

54．答案：
With a pounding heart, Meagan grabbed Hannah immediately. She began performing first aid to help the choking girl. After a few pushes to Hannah's chest, a small piece of apple pie flew out of her mouth, and she started breathing normally again. Her face and lips returned to their normal color from the terrible blue. As Hannah was brought back to safety, Willie, the parrot, finally quieted down. Overcome with relief, Meagan burst into tears. After making sure that Hannah was okay, Meagan sat down with her and gave her a big hug. She explained to Hannah how important it was to chew her food properly. Hannah listened attentively, still a little shaken up from the incident.
Around lunchtime, Samantha came back from school. Meagan told Samantha about what had happened with Hannah and how Willie had saved the girl's life by alerting her to the danger. Samantha was in shock but grateful that everything turned out okay. She hugged Hannah and stroked her back, murmuring, "It's alright now, sweetie." They knew that they owed a debt of gratitude to the chatty bird who had become such an important member of their household. From that day on, they were even more appreciative of Willie's presence. The parrot not only became a playmate for Hannah, but also a hero.

Top 4 Ecotourism Destinations in the World
Travelling often comes with an environmental cost—but by choosing to travel more responsibly and sustainably, you can help to reduce the negative effects of tourism. Here are four destinations that have already signed up to a more sustainable way of life.
Costa Rica
So, you want to escape Imagine a country that's one -quarter national park, a place where you could hike in a rainforest in the morning and surf tropical waves in the afternoon. Imagine an adventure Eden where all kinds of unique animals run before your eyes.
That country is Costa Rica Conservation has been developed here since the 1970s, with measures to protect areas, close z00S and reverse deforestation.
About 80% of the Osa Peninsula is protected; much of it is in Corcovado National Park, where visitors can follow guided trips with local groups. Activity options range from rainforest hikes to whale-watching, diving at Isla del Cano and surfing at Cabo Matapalo.
Finland
It's a nation where 80 percent of the territory is covered by forests Meanwhile, Finland's air and water is claimed to be the clearest.
The Finish Tourist Board has launched the Sustainable Finland programme to help visitors plan the most eco-friendly travels and engage with nature and local culture, knowing every step of their trip has been looked at from an economical, ecological, social and cultural perspective.
Bhutan
Until 1974, the Kingdom of Bhutan remained closed to tourism. Then one day, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck declared Bhutan open to visitors. Today, only those who have booked guided tours through approved travel agencies can enter Bhutan. Permits are charged at a peak- season nightly rate of $250 per person, which includes a 37 percent tax that goes towards improving infrastructure(基础设施) and strengthening the healthcare and the education systems. This strict policy means tourism is controlled, with local life largely untouched by its impact.
Botswana
As one of the most convenient locations to spot the "Big Five", Botswana's infrastructure has long been under pressure to meet the demands of the world's safari(游猎) market. Thankfully, the team at Great Plains Safari has been taking measures to minimize impact and invest in community-based opportunities to help local villages develop. One such measure is a kids' conservation camp, where children are invited to week-long courses to learn about their surroundings, the value of conservation and the role of environmental tourism.
21．What can tourists do in Costa Rica
A. Camp and swim. B. Hike and hunt.
C. Watch and catch whales. D. Dive and surf.
22．What challenge is Botswana faced with
A. It is no longer a location to spot the "Big Five".
B. Children don't care about environmental tourism.
C. The government invests little in local development
D. Its infrastructure has been impacted by the safari market.
23．Of the four ecotourism destinations, which has a strict tourism policy
A. Costa Rica B. Finland C. Bhutan D. Botswana
The Maryland Center for History and Culture(MCHC) is currently hosting "The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited", The exhibition spotlights Henson's unique contributions to children's education, including his creation of the Muppets(布偶).
Born in 1936 in Mississippi, Henson grew up in Maryland. His creative talents were evident when he was a student at high school. He loved cartooning and creating sets for school theater productions. While a freshman at university, Henson made puppets for a local TV station. The station's producers were so impressed that they asked him to produce his own puppet show. Called Sam and Friends, the program started in 1955. Viewers loved Henson's playful characters, including an early version of Kermit the Frog.
While at university, Henson majored in home economics. At the time, it was the only major that offered classes in sewing and textiles(纺织品), Henson not only honed his creative skills at university, but he was also good at marketing and business. "He was an entrepreneur who happened to get into puppetry," said Deborah Wood, MCHC's learning manager.
In 1959, Henson married Jane Nebel, whom be had met at university. The couple established
Muppets Inc. which later became the Jim Henson Company. It was there that Focus Bert, Ernie, Miss Piggy, and other Muppets were created for Sesame Street, a popular children's television program. Generations of children around the world have grown up watching and laming from the Muppets.
Henson, who died in 1990, created not just the Muppets, but also films, TV commercials, variety shows, and more. The exhibition shows every aspect of his career. This includes some lesser-known works, including The Cube, a short experimental film that was nominated(提名) for an Academy Award.
Visitors also get a chance to appreciate Henson's creative process and inventiveness through hands-on displays. They can even make their own Muppets. "For me, I think the really powerful message of this exhibition is the fact that it covers Henson's whole life and his whole career," said Chloe Green, public programs manager at the MCHC.
24．What's paragraph 2 mainly about
A. An interesting exhibition about Henson.
B. Viewers' attitude to Henson's works.
C. Henson's exceptional talents in creation.
D. Characters in Henson's famous works.
25．What does the underlined word "honed" mean in paragraph 3
A. Changed. B. Improved. C. Found. D. Shared.
26．What can be learned about Sesame Street
A. It was first played in 1955. B. It was a popular radio program.
C. It was targeted at children. D. It was an early version of Kermit the Frog.
27．What's the attitude of Chloe Green to the exhibition
A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way to make electricity. Their method uses super-tiny holes to make electricity from moisture(湿气)in the air. The scientists hope the method will one day lead to cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Moisture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water droplets in the air carry an electric charge(电荷). In clouds, these water droplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One of the researchers, Jun Yao, described the new invention as a "small-scale, man-made cloud". Since the new device generates electricity from the air, the scientists call it "Air-gen".
Currently, the device only makes a small amount of electricity-enough to power a small sensor. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, produced electricity all day and all night for a week, powered by nothing but the air.
The scientists have tried to make electricity from humidity(湿度)before, but those methods didn't work for long, or were expensive to make. But in 2020, Dr Yao and his team found a way of getting electricity from humidity using special "nanowires" made from bacteria. That research led the scientists to the key discovery of the Air-gen: almost any material can create electricity in this way as long as it has nanopores(纳米孔) of the right size. This is important because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hope that the Air-gen will become an important green energy source.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But some scientists have suggested that it might be hard for the Air-gen to create enough electricity to really make a difference especially compared to power sources like solar energy. But Dr Yao and his team are working on ways to make the Air-gen technology more powerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers could be piled on top of each other to create more electricity without taking up more space.
28．The Air-gen is invented
A. to collect water droplets in the air. B. to generate electricity from bacteria.
C. to create a small-scale artificial cloud. D. to produce electricity from moisture.
29．How does the Air-gen device generate electricity
A. By using large charges in lightening.
B. By changing sunlight into electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water droplets.
D. By turning water into a usable energy source.
30．What is one potential concern raised by scientists about the Air-gen
A. It might not produce enough electricity.
B. It has a negative impact on the environment.
C. It requires expensive materials to manufacture.
D. It is less reliable than traditional power sources.
31．What's the best title for the text
A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity from the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made cloud. D. Looking for green energy source.
Flash droughts develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region's agriculture. They're also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, we found that the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in just a few weeks, is on the rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades.
In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of change will also rise. A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana 2017 caused $2.6 billion in agricultural damage in America alone.
All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What's interesting about flash droughts is how fast they strengthen themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses moisture rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaporative (蒸发的) demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes, Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts.
In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon. Slowing emissions can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low emission conditions.
32．What is the feature of flash droughts
A. Seldom happen and greatly beneficial.
B. Frequently happen and low risky.
C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive.
D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful.
33．Which of the following statements may the author agree with
A. Crops and vegetation die more quickly during long term droughts.
B. Slowing emissions can completely solve the problem of flash droughts.
C. In Europe cropland will suffer from more flash droughts by the end of this century.
D. Flash droughts won't have any effect on food production, energy, and water supplies.
34．What may be a factor that strengthens flash droughts
A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate.
C. The cold and wet weather. D. Long-term droughts.
35．How can humans help reduce flash droughts
A. By studying climate models. B. By speeding up global warming.
C. By changing cropland into forests. D. By decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

36．Parkour Around a City
There are many ways to travel within a city. ①_____ But no matter which way we travel, we have to follow the route the city planners laid down for us.
②_____To them, there are no designed routes. There are no walls and no stairs they jump, climb and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything they find in their path. ③_____
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100.000 people taking part in parkour (跑酷)today in the UK alone, according to The Guardian and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. ④_____
But parkour enthusiasts themselves don't seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as "a lifestyle". ⑤_____ Indeed, many do parkour just to escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure.
It's great that the FIG wants to develop a new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition.
A. The city is their playground.
B. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus.
C. Parkour is more interesting than you ever know.
D. Parkour began in France, back in 1988, in the suburbs of Paris.
E. However, Parkour enthusiasts see the city in a completely different way.
F. For them, it is a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport,
G. So the FIG is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024.

Meagan and her close friend Samantha, both school teachers, lived together in an apartment in Denver. On mornings when Samantha had class, Meagan would help to watch her 2-year-old daughter, Hannah. Also part of the household was Meagan's pet, Willie, a particularly intelligent and chatty parrot.
Willie was indeed funny and a good talker. In addition to some vocabulary learned from Meagan, he became a great mimic(会模仿的动物) of cats, dogs, and chickens. Plus, he could sing along to the radio. The bird was a nice playmate for the little girl, and he always knew how to lift her spirits. The bird was more than just a pet; he was a member of the family.
One day, with Samantha at school, Hannah had comfortably positioned herself in front of morning cartoons while Meagan was busy cooking in the kitchen, preparing the little girl her favorite breakfast treat, an apple pie. When Meagan was done baking the apple pie, she placed it at the center of the kitchen table to cool. She looked at Hannah and, confident the child was fully engaged with the TV, walked out of the kitchen quickly to use the bathroom.
Meagan was gone maybe 30 seconds. And suddenly, she heard the bird going crazy, screaming loudly. She heard two very distinct words from the parrot's mouth. "Mama! Baby!" Repeated over and over again. "Mama! Baby! Mama! Baby!"
Meagan ran out of the bathroom to find Hannah in the kitchen, holding the partly eaten apple pie, fighting for breath, her face and lips a terrifying shade of blue. And Willie was still screaming loudly. Hannah had climbed up on a chair, gotten the apple pie from the kitchen table and was clearly choking on it.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With a pounding heart, Meagan grabbed Hannah immediately.

16．答案：A
17．答案：B
解析：M:people all over the world enjoy sports. Sports help people keep healthy and happy, helping them to live longer. Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life. They use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them.
Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is two hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with dignity.

54．答案：
With a pounding heart, Meagan grabbed Hannah immediately. She began performing first aid to help the choking girl. After a few pushes to Hannah's chest, a small piece of apple pie flew out of her mouth, and she started breathing normally again. Her face and lips returned to their normal color from the terrible blue. As Hannah was brought back to safety, Willie, the parrot, finally quieted down. Overcome with relief, Meagan burst into tears. After making sure that Hannah was okay, Meagan sat down with her and gave her a big hug. She explained to Hannah how important it was to chew her food properly. Hannah listened attentively, still a little shaken up from the incident.
Around lunchtime, Samantha came back from school. Meagan told Samantha about what had happened with Hannah and how Willie had saved the girl's life by alerting her to the danger. Samantha was in shock but grateful that everything turned out okay. She hugged Hannah and stroked her back, murmuring, "It's alright now, sweetie." They knew that they owed a debt of gratitude to the chatty bird who had become such an important member of their household. From that day on, they were even more appreciative of Willie's presence. The parrot not only became a playmate for Hannah, but also a hero.
