第二节 续写
“I see her,” I replied, slowing the car to a stop. I rolled down the window and asked her if she was okay. She looked at me with a mixture of surprise and gratitude in her eyes. I reached into my purse, took out the extra hundred dollars I had saved for myself, and handed it to her. “This is for you,” I said. “You can use it to buy some food or warm clothes.” She stared at the money in my hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The woman hesitated for a moment, but eventually agreed. She took the money and thanked me profusely. She told me that she had been homeless for a long time and that this money would make a big difference to her. My children watched the whole process, and I could see the touch in their eyes. On the way home, they talked about how happy they were to help the woman. This small act of kindness not only brought warmth to the homeless woman but also left a deep impression on my children, teaching them the value of helping others.2024-2025学年第二学期高二年级三月阳光练习 英语

Thirty-five years ago, with just one acre of land, a couple of seeds, and a bucket of hope, one Nigerian-born scientist began his mission to defeat famine on his continent.
News of the drought across Africa in the early 1980s troubled Nzamujo. Equipped with a microbiology PhD and his faith, he traveled back to Africa. There, he found a continent ecologically rich, diverse, and capable of producing food. He believes drought wasn't the only reason for widespread hunger, and that sustainability had been left out.
Nzamujo began designing a "zero waste" agriculture system that would not only increase food security but also help the environment and create jobs. In 1985, he started his sustainable farm "Songhai" in the West African country of Benin.
Nzamujo lives on the farm and constantly updates his techniques. He credits his degrees in science and engineering for Songhai's success. But he also thanks his spiritual and cultural roots, and his father—a driving force in his life who encouraged him to pursue his studies to the highest degree and to use Songhai to share his knowledge.
Songhai has several "eco-literacy" development programs. They range from 18-month training courses for farmer-enterprisers to shorter stays to learn techniques like weeding. People come from all over the world to study Nzamujo's methods.
After seeing success on his first zero-waste farm, he expanded throughout Benin and western Africa. Today, the Songhai model is applied across the continent, including Nigeria, Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Nzamujo says they've trained more than 7,000 farmer-enterprisers and more than 30,000 people in total since it began. Nzamujo believes zero-waste agriculture is now steadily tackling the issues he set out to defeat: hunger, unemployment, and environmental declines. And he wants to see it go further.
24. Which factor related to famine was unnoticed in Nzamujo's eyes
A. Poor soil. B. Water shortage. C. Lack of resources. D. Unsustainability.
25. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. Introduce a solution. B. Give examples to the readers.
C. Add some background information. D. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
26. How does Songhai help to ease the problem of famine
A. By offering land. B. By trading seeds.
C. By educating farmers. D. By selling technology.
27. Which of the following best describes Nzamujo
A. Critical and careful. B. Learned and responsible.
C. Optimistic and generous. D. Considerate and modest.
C
In June 1936, a great novel was published. It gave the world a sense of the Old South, an unforgettable heroine, and (in the movie version) the classic phrase, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
That book is Margaret Mitchell's (1900-1949) Gone With the Wind, which sold one million copies in its first six months, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937, and brought an explosion of unexpected and undesired fame to its author. It is not in reality the second best-selling book of all time, behind only the Bible, as generations of Atlantans have claimed, but it does stand as one of the most astonishing victories in the history of publishing. To be specific, more than 30 million copies of the novel are in print worldwide nowadays.
Mitchell, a former newspaper reporter who used to listen to Civil War stories, declared herself to be thoroughly puzzled by the popularity her only book met with. She thought it might appeal to a limited readership, or at worst sell a thousand copies to family and friends. Instead, however, the book now has more than 1,000 foreign-language editions.
"It appeals to different cultures on different levels," says Pamela Roberts, who had made a film about the author. "On the one hand, it's a great story that wins over young women's hearts with this charming heroine Scarlett O'Hara who did things her way. The other appeal is the theme of survival. *Gone With the Wind* has inspired people around the world who have lived through war or suffered under cruel governing."
Two years after the book was published, Mitchell was asked if she was writing anything else, or intended to. She said she had been so busy answering the phone, the doorbell, and her fan mail that she had not had the time to. She added that "being the author of *Gone With the Wind* is a full-time job, and most days it is an overtime job filling appointments and meeting visitors."
The fame which came with her book brought her around $1,000,000 in book copyrights, movie rights, and other related returns in less than four years, but disturbed her way of living.
Asked about her ambitions at the height of the fame of *Gone With the Wind*, for someone who hated publicity, Mitchell said that she hoped to put on weight, become fat and accessible, and grow old gracefully.
The comment which greeted her work was not all in praise, although much of it was applauded. Whatever future generations may decide as to its value, Mitchell wrote a book which was the most outstanding bestseller ever written by an unknown author of a first novel.
28. Which of the following statements is true as to the success of the novel
A. It's the second best-selling book of all time, behind only the Bible.
B. It's the most astonishing success in the history of publishing.
C. More than 30 million copies of the novel were sold in its first 6 months.
D. The novel brought unexpected and undesired popularity to its author.
29. How did Mitchell feel at the popularity of the book
A. Delighted. B. Confused. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed.
30. What contributes to the universal appeal of the book
A. The theme of the novel and the charm of the heroine.
B. The fact that the book is set in the Old South.
C. Mitchell's personal popularity as a novelist.
D. Praise from different cultures on different levels.
31. We can infer from the text that Margaret Mitchell
A. is an ambitious novelist. B. enjoys public attention.
C. is very confident of her novel. D. desires her usual way of living.
D
Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. More often than not, Del Giudice leaves his paperwork undone and sweeps the floor or watches TV instead, waiting until the last moment to write the monthly checks.
Everyone procrastinates. "It's part of the human condition," says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl. "One of the ways we cope is avoidance, and that's what procrastination comes down to: We want to feel good now. The way to do that is avoid the task." You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation.
One task that almost everyone procrastinates on is their wills. 70 to 80 percent of people, when they pass away, have no will or an out-of-date or incomplete will. It leaves terrible situations. But death isn't actually the cause of avoidance. Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning, advancing their careers, taking care of their health, and planning their finances.
Some people welcome procrastination, believing that they perform better under pressure. But researchers don't agree with the idea. "I did an experiment several years ago, putting procrastinators under restrictions of time," says Joseph Ferrari, a psychology professor at DePaul University. "They did worse than nonprocrastinators, but they thought they did better. They made more errors. They took longer."
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Delaying a diet or exercise program may increase your risk of heart disease. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven't done may cause discomfort. "Procrastinators experience higher levels of anxiety," says Fuschia Sirois, a psychology lecturer at the University of Sheffield. "Some of the research has shown that this anxiety increases their possibility of catching colds and experiencing many other health problems."
For those of us in need of motivation, the best advice might be to think small. "We used to believe behaviors follow attitude, but if you can start with a little bit of progress that motivates you," Pychyl says. So if you have been procrastinating on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes. If you've been putting off a work project, reread your boss's notes about it.
Next, try sending yourself signals to motivate action. For instance, you might put your lights on a timed dimmer switch to encourage a fixed bedtime. Joel Anderson, a philosophy researcher-lecturer at Utrecht University, carried out an experiment around this concept, and it worked on most of his subjects. "They formed an intention," Anderson says. "When the lights start to dim, I'll start going to bed."
Finally, reward yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you've gone to the gym, take a relaxing bath. After you've paid the bills, watch your favorite TV show. (But don't try to convince yourself it will work the other way around!)
32. The author mentions Giuseppe Del Giudice at the beginning to
A. provide a setting. B. describe the main character.
C. introduce the topic. D. explain a phenomenon.
33. Procrastination is driven by the desire
A. to feel good for the moment. B. to avoid the task.
C. to leave things till the last moment. D. to carry out enjoyable tasks first.
34. Which of the following are people least likely to delay
A. Advancing their careers. B. Taking care of their health.
C. Planning their finances. D. Doing exercise.
35. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A. To analyze the origin of procrastination.
B. To present people's opinions of procrastination.
C. To persuade people to accept procrastination.
D. To urge people to say goodbye to procrastination.

Apple's vitamin and mineral content, its easy availability, and inexpensive nature are the reasons why it's the second most-consumed fruit in the world. ____36_________But what about the calories and nutritional value in it Can we consume apples in endless numbers and still stay fit
A medium-sized apple contains up to 95 calories. However, the sugar content—about 19 grams—is still less than the 21 grams you get in a regular-sized chocolate bar. ____37_________The fiber present in fruits and vegetables helps control blood sugar levels naturally. It slows down digestion and stops the blood sugar levels from rising as they would after you consume candy.
Eating one medium-sized apple gives you your daily dose(量) of 14% vitamin A and 11% of vitamin C, both of which your immune system needs the most. Antioxidants（抗氧化物） like vitamin A and C save the body from damage caused by unstable atoms. ____38_________If we consume darker apples more, we can get an antioxidant that protects the body from diseases and a good amount of indigestible fiber our gut's good bacteria feed on, so it's a win-win deal!
____39_________ Consuming one or two apples on a daily basis is good for your health. But if you're diabetic, you should restrict the consumption to not more than a small-sized apple a day as apples are a high-sugar fruit. If you stay alert and take a proper diet, your body will benefit a lot. But if you eat endlessly, even the healthiest food in the world would damage your body and increase the number of doctor visits. ___40____
A. So act smartly and stay safe.
B. How many apples can you eat in a day
C. Therefore, you should watch out for the food quality.
D. How can we guarantee that we will get this fruit continuously
E. Plus, this sugar is less harmful to your body since it comes with fibers.
F. They reduce the risks of illness and aging, giving you healthy and smooth skin.
G. Since it comes in many varieties and different tastes, people never get bored of it.

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。
At this festive time of the year when November turns to December and Christmas approaches, an incident from the past surfaces in my mind, a moment that inspired me to always seek out opportunities to lend a helping hand.
It was nearly twenty years ago, a period when my children were still in their teenage years full of vitality and constantly evolving preferences. I had grown tired of attempting to predict their Christmas wishes, so each year, we took a long car trip to a Shopping Mall. There, I gave them each an envelope stuffed with cash, allowing them to choose exactly what their hearts desired.
This specific year, I had thoughtfully saved an extra hundred dollars, intending to treat myself to a few gifts. However, as I walked the length of the Mall, I found myself unable to find anything that truly resonated with me.
As we finally climbed into the car, ready to depart, I started the engine and began navigating towards the main road. It was then, amidst the hum of traffic and the glow of streetlights, that I caught sight of her—a homeless woman standing by the roadside. She looked much older than her age. She was dressed in a torn, threadbare coat. Her gray hair was tangled and clumped together in a messy mass. Her face was chapped from the winter wind. But the thing that struck me most was her eyes. She had the saddest eyes that I had ever seen.
"Mom, look at that lady," one of my children said softly, her voice tinged with concern.

"I see her," I replied, slowing the car to a stop.
