Loading the car with the stuff of our four youngsters was hardly my idea of fun. But precisely on schedule—I had performed that miracle. Perfect plans! With our vacation on Lake Michigan now over, I hurried back into the cottage to find my wife Evi e sweeping the last of the sand from the floor.
“ It's six - thirty — time to leave,” I said. “ Where are the kids ” “I let them run down to the beach for one last look.”I was annoyed. Why had we bothered to rise at dawn if we weren't to get rolling before the worst of the traffic hit They had only to relax in the car while I alone fought the long road home.
I walked with long steps to the beach. There, I spotted my four youngsters had discarded their shoes and were tiptoeing into the water, laughing each time a wave broke over their legs. With the firmness of a father, I cupped my hands to my mouth to order them to stop. But somehow the scolding words stopped short of my lips. The longer I watched, more magical the scene seemed, for it would never be copied.
What changes might we expect after the passing of another year, another ten years The only reality was this moment, this glistening beach and these children with their laughter mixed with the wind and the waves. Why had I rushed from the cottage to scold them Simply in the mood to nag because a long day's drive lay ahead How could I hope to maintain communication with my children, now and later, if I failed to keep youthful memories alive My daughters were signaling to me to join them, and instantly, I ran to them.
Today, years later, my heart still warms to recall our young children's laughter that day. And not infrequently, when they recollected their fondest memories, those few long- ago moments are among their most precious.

When I asked my 15- year- old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called“ Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their“ unattractive” and“ fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism.
And following Sunshine's explosion, numerous new bands like“ Power Girls” and “ Love- wings” starring average- looking adolescent girls started popping up on people's mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self- confidence to get your name in the headlines. It's incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars.
This kind of grassroots self- promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China's competitive society, but for those well- educated kids, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics.
Sadly, these so- called stars quickly disappear from people's attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures.
The good news is that, in today's Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real- life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them.
28. What does the underlined word“ wither” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Fade. B. Prosper.
C. Tease. D. Please.
29. Why does becoming an online celebrity rise among the youth
A. Because it just needs self- confidence.
B. Because they are skilled at performance.
C. Because they don't concentrate on academics.
D. Because it is a possible chance to get them ahead.
30. What suffering may so- called stars face
A. They may lose their wealth.
B. They may get their future ruined.
C. They may be sick of people's concern.
D. They may be laughed at by their future employees.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. Times change nothing. B. Qualifications bring fortune.
C. A trend can stimulate learning. D. An addiction can affect a whole generation.
D
Getting angry doesn't just hurt our mental health, it's also damaging to our hearts and gastrointestinal (胃肠的) systems, according to recent research. Of course, it's a common emotion that everyone feels — few of us stay serene when a driver cuts us off or a boss makes us stay late. But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems.
One recent study looked at anger's effects on the heart. It found that anger can raise the risk of heart attacks because it impairs the functioning of blood vessels. Researchers examined the impact of three different emotions on the heart: anger, anxiety and sadness. One participant group did a task that made them angry, another did one that made them anxious, while a third did an exercise designed to induce sadness. The scientists then tested the functioning of the blood vessels in each participant, and they found that those in the angry group had worse blood flow than those in the others; their blood vessels didn't expand as much.
Doctors are also gaining a better understanding of how anger affects our gastrointestinal system. When someone becomes angry, the body produces numerous proteins and hormones that increase inflammation (炎症) in the body. Chronic in flammation can raise your risk of many diseases. The body's sympathetic nervous system —— or“ fight or flight” system—— is also activated, which shunts blood away from the gut to major muscles. This slows down movement in the GI tract, which can lead to problems like constipation (便秘).
“ If you have an angry conversation every now and again or you get upset every now and again, that's within the normal human experience,” says Antonia Seligowski, a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.“ When a negative emotion is prolonged, when you' re really having a lot more of it and maybe more intensely, that's where it's bad for your health.” Her group is looking at whether mental- health treatments, like certain types of talk therapy or breathing exercises, may also be able to improve some of the physical problems caused by anger.
32. Why does the author mention“ the driver” and “ the boss” in paragraph 1
A. To show that anger only happens at work.
B. To illustrate that anger is a shared emotion.
C. To suggest that only outside events cause anger.
D. To indicate that anger is often aimed at people in charge.
33. What do we know about anger from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3
A. It improves blood flow. B. It increases nutrient absorption.
C. It enhances digestive movement. D. It triggers the body's sympathetic nervous system.
34. Which statement does Antonia Seligowsk i agree with about occasional anger
A. It is harmful to our health. B. It should be avoided instantly.
C. It should be prolonged constantly. D. It is part of normal human experience.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. The benefits of expressing anger.
B. Mental- health treatment s for anger.
C. Impacts of anger on heart and gastrointestinal health.
D. Long- term physical and psychological effects of anger.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see. But how to create a great story
Start with a big, engaging idea.
Whether you' re writing fiction or nonfiction, you need a concept that will hold your fa scination throughout the long process of writing and editing, and that will also engage your readers. 36 . Write them down, chew them over, and figure out which one you' re most passionate about.
Research your big idea to build your expertise (专业知识).
If you' re writing a nonfiction book, you' ll obviously need to deeply research your subject matter in order to write about it effectively and authentically. 37 . For instance, if you' re writing a crime drama, you might do research into how the police typically investigate crimes of the type you' re depicting.
38 .
If your focus each day is to write about the American Civil War, you may become paralyzed by the immensity of the task. Instead, divide up your larger concept into smaller components that feel more manageable to tackle. For instance, instead of thinking“I need to write about the Civil War,” you might tell yourself, “I'm going to write about General Grant's military strategy today.”
Develop at least one unforgettable character.
Build one or more characters who are complex and rounded, not one- note“ heroes” or“ villains”. Think about some of your favorite characters from books you love. Write down their character traits and use these to help build your own unique characters. 39 .
Emphasi ze conflict and tension in your narrative.
Introduce challenges and obstacles in your book. 40 . The conflict and tension can be both external and internal. Make it hard for your readers to put the book down!
A. Establish daily and weekly writing goals
B. Break your big idea into manageable pieces
C. Brainstorm themes, topics, or ideas that appeal to you
D. To drive your narrative, you should focus on developing a“ big idea”
E. Lead your characters through ups and downs to highlight such tension
F. Even fictional works, though, should be grounded in some degree of reality
G. Your readers may identify with them and care about what happens to them

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。
Tucker stood by the back door, his eyes fixed on the winter sky: crystal blue and not a single cloud. His breath made steamy circles on the chilled glass window.“I don't think today's the day, Tucker.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. “ It has to snow something, doesn't it, Dad ” asked Tucker, a hint of regret in his voice as he surveyed the barren landscape.“ Sure, boy,” his father stroked his fingers through Tucker's hair and strode off toward the basement door.
Tucker's gaze wandered beyond the backyard of his family's new home. Just beyond a cluster of prickly pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad's promise of a perfect sledding(乘雪橇) spot echoed in his ears, painting vivid pictures of exhilarating rides down the hill, faster and more thrilling than anything he'd experienced in the city.
Sledding. Tucker's brand- new sled rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser(梳妆台) and train table. It was perfect: bright blue with red and orange flames racing up its sides. Tucker loved the feel of the cool, smooth plastic yellow rope. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow.
Determined to find some way to make the most of this snowless day, Tucker went down to the basement where he found his father waist- deep in a sea of flattened cardboard boxes. “ Can you play chess with me, Dad ” Tucker pleaded. His father looked over the wall of boxes.“I promised your mom I'd get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. It won't take long, Tucker. In a little while, we' ll find something fun to do, I promise.” But Tucker's eyes had already lit up with a new found idea. As he caught sight of the duct tape (强力防水胶带) next to his father and the ramp (斜坡) formed by the cardboard boxes by accident, inspiration struck.
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。
“ Dad, can I have some cardboard boxes ” Tucker asked.
Tucker held the sled in place.

Dear Mark,
I am sorry to know that you have problems getting along with your best friend. Sometimes it is challenging to maintain sound interpersonal relationships, especially for us teenagers.
I can totally relate to your situation. Our friendships in high school are often intense and close-knit, making conflicts more frustrating. It may even have a negative impact on your study life. However, you may rely on it that your friendship can be repaired as long as you put your heart into it.
From my perspective, effective communication, with both of you keeping attentive to each other’s words and sharing your thoughts and feelings openly, is absolutely essential. You may as well ask your friend out and talk with him so that you can get to the root of your conflict.
I sincerely wish you can break the ice and win back your friend soon!
Yours sincerely.

七、读后续写
“Dad, can I have some cardboard boxes ” Tucker asked. “Sure, if you clean up when you’re done,” answered Dad. “And some duct tape (强力防水胶带), too ” Tucker continued. His father smiled, grabbed the duct tape, and tossed it to Tucker. “Have fun.” Tucker wiped his mittened (连指手套) hand across his forehead and gulped the frosty air. Despite the cold, he was sweating from carrying a mountain of cardboard into the backyard. An hour later, Tucker stood on top of the hill under the fading January sun. He had lined the flat brown boxes, one after the other, up the hillside, and taped the undersides together until they had formed a ramp. It ran from the tiptop (最高点) of the sledding hill, past the pine trees, and down to the middle of the backyard.
Tucker held the sled in place. Gripping the steering (转向装置) rope, and moving his feet into position, Tucker took a deep, frosty breath. He let out a scream as the sled raced down the slope, faster and faster. It came to a sudden stop in the crunchy grass. Tucker flew through the air and landed in a giggly heap. He jumped to his feet and raced back up the hill with his sled again and again. When the last of the daylight finally faded away, the cardboard was dirty, crumpled, and ripped (撕扯，剥) from the boy’ many trips down it. But Tucker didn’t mind. He lay back in his sled and gazed up at the darkening sky. Then he stuck out his tongue to catch the first thick, white flake swirling down from above. And he smiled.
