My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
4. What happened during her best friend’s visit
A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend. B. They bonded by having long conversations.
C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee. D. They talked about recent news events.
5. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______.
A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life
B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away
C. they try to show each other their best selves
D. they are comfortable being themselves when together
6. Which of the following would the author agree with
A. Charm comes from differences. B. Politeness brings best friends closer.
C. Good friendships last naturally. D. Good friendships need devotion.
7. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ______.
A. describe what her best friend is like B. tell about the friendship she treasures
C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend
C
Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited.
It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.
In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree.
One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.
A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.
So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable!
8. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2
A. It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear.
B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.
C. It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with.
D. It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark.
9. Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects
A. They look very much alike. B. They have shared experiences.
C. They have similar personalities. D. They share basically the same DNA.
10. What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5
A Dentists are scary to many kids. B. Most people have some kind of fear.
C. Fear of blood is the most common phobia. D. Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance.
11. Where does the text probably come from
A. A travel brochure. B. A science talk show.
C. A commercial advertisement. D. A history book.
D
In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet.
A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.
Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.
But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep.
12. In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”
A. Carbs are essential to better sleep. B. Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.
C. Carbs can be consumed as many as possible. D. Carbs should be taken in frequently.
13. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B. A Method of Having a Good Sleep
C. The Relation between Sleep and Diet D. The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices
14. Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep
A. Regular exercise. B. Bedtime schedule. C. Screen time. D. Proper diet.
15. What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest
A. We can have a better sleep with all carbs. B. Sleep and diet can influence each other.
C. Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets. D. We’d better focus on one or two specific food.

Tips to Create Great Readers
Are great readers born or are they made Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.____16____Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
____17____The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character ” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.____18____For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story ”____19____By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.
Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.____20____So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.
A. Build habits at the moment of error.
B. Make sure children fall in love with reading.
C. Then, you can review their written responses.
D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.
E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.
F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.
G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here ” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.

On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise.

My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
4. What happened during her best friend’s visit
A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend. B. They bonded by having long conversations.

5. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______.
A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life
B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away
C. they try to show each other their best selves
D. they are comfortable being themselves when together
6. Which of the following would the author agree with
A. Charm comes from differences. B. Politeness brings best friends closer.
C. Good friendships last naturally. D. Good friendships need devotion.

Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited.
It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.
In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree.
One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.
A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.
So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable!
8. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2
A. It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear.
B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.
C. It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with.
D. It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark.
9. Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects
A. They look very much alike. B. They have shared experiences.
C. They have similar personalities. D. They share basically the same DNA.
10. What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5
A. Dentists are scary to many kids. B. Most people have some kind of fear.
C. Fear of blood is the most common phobia. D. Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance.
11. Where does the text probably come from
A. A travel brochure. B. A science talk show.
C. A commercial advertisement. D. A history book.

In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet.
A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.
Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.
But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep.
12. In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”
A. Carbs are essential to better sleep. B. Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.
C. Carbs can be consumed as many as possible. D. Carbs should be taken in frequently.
13. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B. A Method of Having a Good Sleep
C. The Relation between Sleep and Diet D. The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices
14. Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep
A. Regular exercise. B. Bedtime schedule. C. Screen time. D. Proper diet.
15. What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest
A. We can have a better sleep with all carbs. B. Sleep and diet can influence each other.
C. Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets. D. We’d better focus on one or two specific food.

Tips to Create Great Readers
Are great readers born or are they made Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.____16____Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
____17____The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character ” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.____18____For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story ”____19____By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.
Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.____20____So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.
A. Build habits at the moment of error.
B. Make sure children fall in love with reading.
C. Then, you can review their written responses.
D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.
E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.
F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.
G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here ” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.

On the day of Papa’s birthday, we were all eager to give him a surprise.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday.
Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding.

A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.
So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable!
8. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in Para. 2
A. It's unbelievable that people can inherit something so abstract like fear.
B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.
C. It's natural that people become afraid of things that they had bad experience with.
D. It's interesting that people are afraid of so many things such as spiders and the dark.
9. Why did the scientists choose identical twins as their test subjects
A. They look very much alike. B. They have shared experiences.
C. They have similar personalities. D. They share basically the same DNA.
10. What did the author try to prove by mentioning the studies in Para. 4 and 5
A Dentists are scary to many kids. B. Most people have some kind of fear.
C. Fear of blood is the most common phobia. D. Fear of things can be a result of genetic inheritance.
11. Where does the text probably come from
A. A travel brochure. B. A science talk show.
C. A commercial advertisement. D. A history book.

In order to improve people’s sleep, experts have encouraged people to adopt a variety of measures to overcome their stress-related sleeplessness. Among their recommendations: engage in regular exercise, establish a nightly bedtime routine and cut back on screen time. But many people may be overlooking another important factor in poor sleep: diet.
A growing body of research suggests that the foods you eat can affect how well you sleep, and your sleep patterns can affect your diet choices. Dr St-Onge has spent years studying the relationship between diet and sleep. In this research, she and her assistants selected 26 healthy adults and controlled what they ate for four days, providing them with regular meals prepared by nutritionists while also monitoring how they slept at night. On the fifth day, the subjects were allowed to eat whatever they wanted.
Their work suggests that rather than stressing one or two specific foods with supposedly sleep-inducing properties, it is better to focus on the overall quality of your diet. They discovered that eating more fat and less fiber from foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains led to reductions in slow-wave sleep, which is the deep kind. In general, the experiments have also found that carbs have a significant impact on sleep: People tend to fall asleep much faster at night when they consume a high-carb diet compared to when they consume a high-fat or high-protein diet.
But the quality of carbs matters. In fact, they can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sleep. Dr St-Onge has found that when people eat more sugar and simple carbs — such as white bread and pasta — they wake up more frequently throughout the night. In other words, eating carbs may help you fall asleep faster, but it is best to consume “complex” carbs that contain fiber, which may help you obtain more deep, healthy sleep.
12. In what way can we say “the quality of carbs matters”
A. Carbs are essential to better sleep. B. Carbs’ influence depends on its quality.
C. Carbs can be consumed as many as possible. D. Carbs should be taken in frequently.
13. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Recent Research on Sleep and Diet B. A Method of Having a Good Sleep
C. The Relation between Sleep and Diet D. The Sleep Patterns and Diet Choices
14. Which factor might be ignored in poor sleep
A. Regular exercise. B. Bedtime schedule. C. Screen time. D. Proper diet.
15. What does the research conducted by Dr St-Onge suggest
A. We can have a better sleep with all carbs. B. Sleep and diet can influence each other.
C. Carbs contribute to easier sleep than high-fat diets. D. We’d better focus on one or two specific food.

Tips to Create Great Readers
Are great readers born or are they made Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction.____16____Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit.
____17____The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character ” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place.
Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others.____18____For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story ”____19____By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion.
Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings.____20____So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers.
A. Build habits at the moment of error.
B. Make sure children fall in love with reading.
C. Then, you can review their written responses.
D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits.
E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading.
F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information.
G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time.

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here ” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan.

My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.
4. What happened during her best friend’s visit
A. They enjoyed an eventful long weekend. B. They bonded by having long conversations.
C. They made their favorite snacks and coffee. D. They talked about recent news events.
5. One thing that the author appreciates about their friendship is that ______.
A. they help each other deal with the boredom of life
B. they prefer to witness each other’s lives from far away
C. they try to show each other their best selves
D. they are comfortable being themselves when together
6. Which of the following would the author agree with
A. Charm comes from differences. B. Politeness brings best friends closer.
C. Good friendships last naturally. D. Good friendships need devotion.
7. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ______.
A. describe what her best friend is like B. tell about the friendship she treasures
C. explore the key aspects of friendship D. express thanks to her best friend
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
C
Everyone is afraid of something. Maybe you're afraid of spiders, or heights, or dogs, or the dark. And traditionally, we’ve thought that's because you learned to be afraid. Probably because you had a bad run-in with something at some point. But there's a different idea out there that's been getting more attention lately: the idea that fears aren’t just learned …they also can be inherited.
It sounds like a wild idea. How do you inherit something as abstract as fear But over the last fifty years, researchers have been studying just how much fears have to do with inheritance and genetics. And their results have been kind of surprising.
In this work, they’ve put a lot of effort into understanding one extreme kind of fear, called a phobia. To get a sense of how much genes influence fear, scientists have begun looking at identical twins. Since identical twins have almost the same DNA, researchers can figure out how heritable a fear is by comparing how often specific phobias appear in identical twins as opposed to other brothers or sisters. Because even though twins often have lots of similar experiences, they probably don't share the types of experiences that cause phobias — like getting bitten by a dog or falling out of a tree.
One 1998 study of 659 pairs of identical and fraternal twins in Australia looked at how many had a fear of blood. The study found that genetics accounted for 71 percent of the variation among those people, meaning genetic factors play a pretty big role in determining whether a person has some specific fear.
A 2016 study also found that fear of dental work was over 30 percent heritable. So, if you are afraid of going to the dentist, it really might not be your dentist's fault. Overall, first-degree relatives of people with phobias are more likely to have similar phobias than people with no family history.
So, it's pretty clear that phobias are heritable!

B. It's surprising that people know so little about inheritance and genetics.

【答案】Dear Linda,
I’m more than glad to hear you have a great interest in classical Chinese poetry.
To improve your understanding and appreciation of Chinese poetry, you’d better try reading the poems aloud, which can help you to feel the rhythm and melody of the language. Another helpful tip is to read English translations of the poetry by renowned Chinese translators, such as Qian Zhongshu, whose translations can give you a better understanding of the meaning and themes behind the poems.
May you have a wonderful cultural trip while exploring the world of classical Chinese poetry

A Birthday Surprise
I stood at the kitchen window watching Papa as he sat in the old, wooden lawn chair staring out at the lake. Ralph, his old black dog, lay on the ground at his side. Papa’s hand absently stroked (抚摩) the head of his old companion as they dreamed the dreams of old men and old dogs in the evening sun. “He does this day after day ” I asked Mama.
She nodded, sadness filling her eyes. “I don’t know what to do for him. There is a strong desire in his eyes that I can’t satisfy -a desire for the past. The past can’t be brought back to the present. Once days are gone, they are gone forever,” Mama sighed.
“I’m going down to talk to him,” I said.
I called out to Papa and handed him a cup of coffee. “What are you and Ralph thinking about all these hours you spend out here ” I asked,
“We’re not thinking,” he said softly. “We’re wishing.” I sat on the grass beside his chair. “Wishing for what ” “For the impossible, I suppose,” he sighed. “You always told me that nothing was impossible if you wanted it badly enough and were willing to work hard for it,” I reminded him.
He laughed softly, but there was no amusement in the sound. “But Ralph and I have come to learn that when you reach our age, some things are actually impossible.” “Maybe I can help you. What do you want so badly ” I asked.
Papa grinned (咧嘴大笑), and his eyes shone brightly at the thought of his dream becoming a reality. “Ralph and I want to fix up the old boat and go out on the lake again. We used to spend all day out on the lake, fishing, drinking beer and eating sandwiches,” Papa said.
Yes, I remember. When I was young, Papa and Ralph often enjoyed themselves on the lake on weekends. They’d start for home when the sun went down, totally satisfied with themselves and with life. Now, Papa was almost eighty-five years old and had a heart condition, so Mama was horrified by the idea of him going out on the lake again at first. But eventually I managed to convince her.

【答案】One possible version
After Mama agreed, I persuaded my friends to join in my secret plan. I decided to fix up the old boat. The boat didn’t fall apart, and the paint had faded and cracked. We spent several weekends repairing and painting the boat. I replaced the faded and cracked seat cushions while my friends repaired the motor. We expected Papa to be proud of the boat a s he and Ralph went out on the lake again. Tired as we were, we were happy to complete the restoration. I wouldn’t let off the secret until Papa’s birthday.
Then came the day and we were all eager to give him a surprise. He could hardly believe his eyes when we showed him the new boat. Then we said “Happy birthday” to him in chorus, and he was so touched that tears blurred his eyes. After that, we put sandwiches and dog biscuits on it while Mama also bought Papa a new hat. Soon, we all stood by the lake and watched as Papa and Ralph sailed away, Papa waving and laughing. Seeing him so happy, I felt that everything I did for him was rewarding.
