W: What a memory I have! I did write down Mr Smith’s e-mail address on a piece of paper, but now it is nowhere to be found!
M: Don’t worry. I’ll be seeing him in an hour. I can ask him for his e-mail address when I see him.
Text 2
W: Good morning, I have an appointment with Diane Kennedy at 11 o’clock. And I’m Jane Taylor.
M: Oh, she’s answering a call now. Can you complete this security form, please
W: Of course. Can you give me a pen
Text 3
W: Have you read this new best-seller by Mike Brooklyn
M: No, I haven’t. I’m not really into fiction.
W: I think you’d like this one—it’s a very fast paced adventure, and Brooklyn has a wild imagination.
M: Really Maybe I’ll try to read it when I’m on vacation.
Text 4
M: Can you change the room for me It’s too noisy.
W: Sorry, we don’t have any spare room today. Could you wait till tomorrow The American People-to-People Education Delegation will be leaving tomorrow morning.
Text 5
W: Do you have plans this weekend
M: Yes, it is my daughter’s birthday. We will have a barbecue.
W: Sweet, tell her happy birthday! I think my daughter will buy her a nice present.
Text 6
W: I’m calling to confirm my flight to New York this Saturday. My name is Jane Austin, and my flight number is K701.
M: Yes, Ms Austin. Your name is here in our computer. Your plane takes off at 9:00 am. And I’d like to remind you to please come to the airport two hours before your take-off time to get your seating arrangements.
W: Thank you. By the way, could you tell me once again how long my flight will be
M: The total number of hours is 16 hours because you have a two-hour stopover at Los Angeles Airport.
Text 7
W: Oh, it’s so nice to be out of the cinema. It was so hot there!
M: Terrible, wasn’t it Well, what did you think of Madame Curie Do you think it is as good as the reviews said
W: It’s a good film, but not as good as the book. I think some parts of the story were missing in the film.
M: Yes, but you couldn’t possibly fit everything that happens in a 200-page novel into a 2-hour film.
W: I know. But the director should at least try to follow the story. In this film he left out some important people and even changed the ending.
M: Well, perhaps he thought he was improving the story, Karen.
W: Perhaps he did, but I just don’t think a film director has the right.
Text 8
W: Which colour do you think I should wear to meet the client
M: What You’ve been picking out the clothes since 8:00. Twenty minutes have passed and you still haven’t made a choice
W: You know I always have problems making decisions.
M: Before we went on our trip last month, you had been thinking a lot about where to travel. Yesterday you spent a long time thinking about whether to have a hotpot or barbecue.
W: It does often take me a long time to make a decision, but only by comparison can I know what is right and what is wrong. The more I care about things, the more I struggle to choose.
M: Hmm…It doesn’t matter what is right or wrong because there is no absolute right or wrong in life. You never know which is suitable unless you try it. So spending a long time making decisions doesn’t make sense.
W: OK, OK. Stop here.
M: Sure. I’ll drive Tom to school first.
Text 9
M: You need a break. You’ve been cooking every night. I’m sorry I haven’t been helping out, but I’ve had to work late all month. Let’s go out to dinner tonight.
W: That would be wonderful.
M: I’ve heard of a new Indian restaurant downtown. How does that sound
W: You know I love Indian food!
M: Well, this place should be very good. The food is more like traditional cooking—like what Indian mothers would make at home.
W: Sounds good! I had a friend in college who was from India. Sometimes I would go over to her house on the weekend. Her grandmother would cook for us. It was probably the tastiest food I’ve ever had!
M: All right, then let’s go. The place closes at 8:30, so we’d better leave now. It’ll take about half an hour to get there, because we’ll have to find a parking place, too.
W: I wonder why the restaurant closes so early. It’s a Friday night. Restaurants are usually open late on weekends.
M: I’ll bet the cook is an Indian mother who needs to get home to her children!

W: And now, finally, the time has come to announce the winner of our art competition. I know you’re all excited to be here and looking forward to finding out the first-prize winner who will be awarded the opportunity to display their art in exhibitions at our art galleries across the country, as well as the $5,000 cash prize. We’ll also announce the lucky runner-up, who will be going home with a $1,000 cash prize. Before I start, I have to tell you that one of the contestants, Rose O’Brien, has decided to remove herself from the competition as she was offered an opportunity elsewhere—which is not surprising, considering she had the second highest score given by the judges. But let’s focus on our remaining three contestants: Maria Sanchez, John Krakow and Donald Wreck. All of them deserve recognition and congratulations for making it this far. It has been a very tough competition with more than a thousand entries, so you should all be very proud of yourselves. So, after counting the votes from our gallery’s members and combining them with the judges’ scores, we are happy to announce that the winner of the competition is…Oh, wow…Incredibly, the winner is our youngest contestant, with no formal art training…Congratulations to Donald Wreck, with My Sister Emily!

第一节
A
【文章大意】 这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了北京人民艺术剧院将在纽约上演其剧目——老舍的《茶馆》。
21.B 细节理解题。根据第三段“It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse, a place where people from all walks of life came together.”可知,观众可以欣赏到有特色的集体表演。故选B。
22.C 细节理解题。根据第四段“…Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours and thirty minutes.”可知,最适合观看这部戏的人是对中国感兴趣的人。故选C。
23.B 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office. You will enjoy a 5% discount off the price if you purchase tickets through our website or app. For our local theatregoers who have bought our yearly plan, an extra 5% discount will also come your way.”可知,一个外地游客在线上购买门票,可以享受5%的折扣,即(100×95%×2=)190美元。故选B。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了年轻一代的美国华裔在做中国菜时遇到的困难以及The Woks of Life博客的诞生。
24.B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first- and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).”可知,Sarah和Kaitlin是美籍华人,当她们想吃小时候的中式饭菜时,却不知道如何做。由此可推知,Sarah所说的早期电视名厨和新兴的美食博客圈中的“代表性差距”指的是缺少有关中餐食谱的分享。故选B项。
25.C 推理判断题。根据第二段“As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it…food-obsessed culture.”以及第三段“So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life.”可推知,本段介绍了为什么梁氏一家人有条件创建博客来改变当时人们没有途径学习烹饪中餐的情况,目的是指出梁氏一家人创建美食博客的优势。故选C项。
26.D 细节理解题。根据第三段“What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage (传承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept: the four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favourites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.”可知,他们的博客与其他博客的不同之处在于梁氏一家人渴望的知识的代际传承。故选D项。
27.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.”可推知,这个博客让亚裔美国人和他们的饮食传统建立起联系。故选D项。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。坐落在奥兰多商业区外的一个公园里,一棵古老的南方橡树已有400多年的历史,目前,研究人员从这棵树上剪下树枝和树叶,带到该团队位于密歇根州的实验室,目的是克隆这棵历史悠久的树,储存它的DNA并在东南部种植数千棵克隆树。
28.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: to clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the south-east.”可知,研究人员的目的是从原树中克隆一棵古树。故选A。
29.B 推理判断题。根据第四段“The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (浸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.”(最常见的方法是生根扦插。在这种方法中,将树枝的尖端浸入激素,放入泡沫塞,并放置在雾室中。然后,等待就开始了。如果有生命迹象的话,可能需要几个月到一年的时间才会显现。在另一种称为组织培养的方法中,研究人员取四分之一英寸长的树枝,将其浸入由十几种激素和其他化学物质组成的混合物中,并将其密封在容器里,然后等待看它是否会生根。)可知,在描述这两种方法时,作者用了“if one comes at all”和“whether it will grow roots”等字眼,由此可推知,这两种方法都有可能无法使树枝生根。故选B。
30.C 词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“Experts lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do.”可知,专家们对该团队的创新方法和大量繁殖表示称赞,但他们怀疑克隆体是否会像原代植物那样生长。由此可知,画线单词表示“称赞”,故选C。
31.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. ‘I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing…I just don’t know how realistic it is.’”(他补充说,古树的年龄使得研究它们很困难。“我认为他们正在做的事情很棒……我只是不知道这在多大程度上能实现。”)可知,Scott Merkle对这个团队的工作表示称赞,同时他也表示了自己的担忧,由此可推知,他的态度是谨慎的,故选A。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了独处与孤独的区别,并强调了独处的益处。
32.A 推理判断题。由文章第一段内容可知,第一段通过回顾从莎士比亚最初使用“孤独”一词描述单纯的物理上的独处状态,到浪漫主义诗人将其含义扩展到心灵层面的过程,追溯了“孤独”概念的发展。故选A。
33.D 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel de Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a ta then draws on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.”可知,《独处》一书着重探讨了独处时间对人心理的正面影响,通过历史人物的故事、实验室研究、访谈和调查来阐明独处如何真正作用于人的心理。故选D。
34.C 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude.”可知,孤独的状态是可以改变的。故选C。
35.C 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to ‘peak experiences’ such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.”可知,Netta可能同意的一个观点是在高度互联的数字时代,许多读者认为自己不太可能有足够长的时间间歇来经历“巅峰体验”,暗示在这样的环境下,人们主动选择的、有利于自我反思的独处变得较为少见,即选择性独处在数字世界中是罕见的。故选C。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者因长期遭受严重头痛的困扰而尝试针灸治疗的经历。
36.D 由上文“Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. I was desperate to find a cure.”可知,此处描述了作者头痛的困境以及寻找治疗方法的急迫。D选项(尽管尝试了不同的解决办法,但都没有奏效。)能够承接上文,表明作者在尝试多种方法无果后的绝望状态。故选D。
37.C 由上文“After explaining my issue, she placed 3 fingers on my wrist to feel my heartbeat.”可知,接下来应叙述初次体验针灸的过程。根据下文“Soon, she took out the needles, which made me somewhat uneasy as such objects typically make me uncomfortable.”可知,本空描写医生给作者把脉和取针之间的事情,C选项(然后我被领进一个房间并躺下。)能够承上启下,是对前文情境的延续。故选C。
38.E 由下文“To deal with my headaches, the treatment began on the back of my hand, far from my head.”可知,为了治疗头痛,治疗从手背开始,这应该会让人感到吃惊,E选项(我最初的针灸经历非常令人惊讶。)能引起下文,符合语境。故选E。
39.G 由上文“The electricity was turned on, and the doctor left the room.”和下文“Around the 5-minute mark, the doctor returned and adjusted the electricity level.”可知,此处应描述作者接受电子针灸治疗时的感受。G选项(静静地躺着,我能感觉到电流流遍全身。)能承上启下,符合语境,故选G。
40.B 由上文“I returned to the doctor for a total of 10 sessions, and each time the same routine was repeated and the same herbal medicine was given. The true benefits of the acupuncture treatment became clear: I remained free of headaches for 2 years.”和下文“If you’ve experienced similar conditions, I highly recommend trying it.”可知,此次治疗的效果显著,作者两年来没有头痛,并推荐有类似情况的人尝试针灸。B选项(我现在强烈推荐针灸。)作为总结性语句,强调了针灸治疗的成功及其对作者的影响,适合放在最后作为对全文经历的总结,并引出对读者的建议,能承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
第三部分

56.performer 考查名词。award-winning是形容词,修饰名词,根据句意可知,空格处意为“表演者”,名词是performer,空前有an,空格处应用单数名词,故填performer。
57.stars 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语Wu Suzhen是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填stars。
58.an 考查冠词。inheritor是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,且inheritor的发音以元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an,故填an。
59.to 考查介词。from…to…是固定搭配,意为“从……到……”,因此空格处用介词to,故填to。

63.demonstrating 考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是will also share,空格处用非谓语动词,Wu和demonstrate之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,故填demonstrating。
64.which 考查定语从句。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词approach指物,因此空格处用关系代词which,故填which。
65.further 考查形容词比较级。由greater可知,空格处用比较级,此处表示“进一步探索”,因此空格处用比较级further。故填further。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear John,
There’ll be a short video contest themed the worldwide influence of traditional Chinese culture next month in my school. With the intention of entering the contest, I’m writing to ask if you could provide some related materials for me
In these videos, you may show scenes of local people learning Chinese kung fu, traditional Chinese musical instruments and so on. You may also record people enjoying Chinese cuisine or appreciating Chinese paintings. I’ll be grateful for any help you can offer.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以萨拉收养的一条狗为线索展开,讲述了萨拉从动物收容所收养了一条有一段悲惨经历的狗,萨拉用爱和安慰让它摆脱了过去的痛苦,之后萨拉让这条狗参加了帮助自闭症儿童的训练,这条名为巴迪的狗给自闭症孩子带来了欢笑。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他们在治疗中心的第一天充满了不确定性。”可知,第一段可描写巴迪第一次去自闭症治疗中心时的情况。
②由第二段首句内容“几个星期过去了,萨拉注意到孩子们和巴迪都发生了显著的变化。”可知,第二段可描写巴迪和患有自闭症的孩子们建立了联系,为他们带来了欢笑。
2.续写线索:巴迪参加训练—巴迪成功和孩子们建立联系—巴迪给需要帮助的人带来了快乐和安慰
One possible version:
Their first day at the therapy centre was filled with uncertainty. The children, accustomed to their own company or limited interactions(形容词作定语), were initially cautious about Buddy. Some avoided eye contact, while others stood still observing from a distance(现在分词作状语). Buddy sensed the anxiety too, sitting patiently and occasionally offering a gentle touch with his nose(现在分词作状语) to a child who seemed less afraid(定语从句). Despite the initial challenges, Sarah was confident that Buddy would eventually adapt to this new environment and make a positive impact(宾语从句).
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy. The once timid dog now eagerly approached the children, gently touching their hands with his nose and wagging his tail enthusiastically(现在分词作状语). In return, the children would stroke his soft fur and share their snacks with him. Their fear and hesitation gradually changed into smiles and laughter as they began to trust and form bonds with Buddy(时间状语从句). It was evident that (形式主语)the journey of transformation that began in the animal shelter(定语从句) now extended to the therapy centre, where Buddy’s presence brought joy and comfort to those in need(定语从句).单元素养测评卷(三)

Beijing People’s Art Theatre, arguably the most famous professional theatre company in China, will present Teahouse by Lao She, which is the cornerstone of its repertory (剧目), as its New York City(NYC) appearance.
Teahouse will play at the Michael Schimmel Centre for the Arts in NYC from 27 Nov. to 1 Dec. this year. The production will be performed in Mandarin Chinese with simultaneous (同时的) English translation through headphones.
Teahouse is set in a typical, old Beijing teahouse and follows the lives of the owner and his customers through three stages in modern Chinese history, from approximately 1898 to 1948. It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance. Together, they reflected the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse, a place where people from all walks of life came together.
The production in NYC will be the final stop of a US tour that has also included performances in Houston and Los Angeles. As a well-received classic in its homeland, Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature, and anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China within two hours and thirty minutes.
Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apiece (每人) at the booking office.

Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first-and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).
As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mum, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage (传承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept: the four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favourites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.
Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows a long line of pioneers—folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US. “We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, casting light that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she says.“It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.”
Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times food section, Kaitlin notes. Now you can.

“Big Tree”, an old southern live oak, sits in a park just outside Orlando’s business district. It’s been struck by lightning at least three times and has survived many hurricanes—and it grew from a seed around the same time Juan Ponce de León’s ship first landed on Florida’s eastern coast.
Over 400 years old, the tree is so impressive that members of a Michigan-based non-profit flew to Orlando in February to climb the tree and cut branches and leaves. The researchers are now in the midst of the process to grow new roots from the cuttings. The reason: to clone the historic tree, store its DNA and plant potentially thousands of cloned trees across the south-east.
In order to clone an ancient tree, researchers must climb it to find a piece of live tissue. The freshly cut branches and leaves are taken to the group’s lab in Michigan, where, in climate-controlled rooms, researchers work to promote growth from the cuttings.
The most common method is by rooted cuttings. In this method, a tip of a tree’s branch is dipped (浸) into hormones, placed into a foam plug (泡沫塞) and set inside a mist room. Then, the waiting begins. A sign of life can take several months to a year to show, if one comes at all. In another method called tissue culture, researchers take a quarter-inch of branch, dip it into a mixture made up of a dozen hormones and other chemicals, seal it in a container and wait to see whether it will grow roots.
Experts lauded the group for its creative methods and reproduction in large numbers, but they doubt whether the clones will grow as the originals do. Scott Merkle, a professor of forest biology at the University of Georgia, said, “There are so many variables that there’s no certainty that they will be able to survive and perform better than other trees that you plant on the same land.” He added that the age of historic trees makes them difficult to study. “I think it’s a great thing that they’re doing…I just don’t know how realistic it is.”
( )28.According to the passage, what do the researchers aim to do
A.To clone an ancient tree from its original.
B.To save thousands of trees across the south-east.
C.To analyse the effects of climate on tree growth.
D.To study the reason for the survival of “Big Tree”.
( )29.What do we know about the two methods mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.Tissue culture is the most frequently used method.
B.There is a chance that the branch will fail to grow roots.
C.In the first method the live tissue is sealed in a container.
D.A mixture of hormones and other chemicals is needed in both methods.
( )30.What does the underlined word “lauded” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Joined. B.Charged.
C.Praised. D.Contacted.
( )31.What’s Scott Merkle’s attitude to the group’s work
A.Cautious. B.Critical.
C.Approving. D.Unclear.

It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel de Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a ta then draws on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help people restore their state and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives.
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
( )32.How does Paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness
A.By tracing its development.
B.By analysing causes.
C.By making a point to be argued.
D.By sharing a romantic story.
( )33.What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on
A.The various terms of solitude.
B.The societal impact of solitude.
C.The long-standing history of solitude.
D.The psychological benefits of solitude.
( )ta describes the state of loneliness as .
A.stressful B.essential
C.changeable D.never beneficial
( )35.What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A.Enforced solitude is a matter of choice.
B.Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C.Elective solitude is rare in the digital world.
D.Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.

Several years ago, I experienced daily severe headaches that made me want to bang my head against a brick wall. I was desperate to find a cure. 36.
In my hopelessness, my father suggested acupuncture (针灸), a treatment he had experienced in Hong Kong. With limited exposure to traditional Chinese medicine, I decided to give acupuncture a try.
With no particular expectations, I found myself in the office of a middle-aged woman, surrounded by Chinese herbal medicines. After explaining my issue, she placed 3 fingers on my wrist to feel my heartbeat. 37. Soon, she took out the needles, which made me somewhat uneasy as such objects typically make me uncomfortable.
38. To deal with my headaches, the treatment began on the back of my hand, far from my head. As the doctor gently handled the needles, I got the feeling that something was flowing throughout my entire body.
The doctor then continued to tap and move more needles across my body. The electricity was turned on, and the doctor left the room. 39. Around the 5-minute mark, the doctor returned and adjusted the electricity level. A moment later, before I knew it, she turned off the electricity and removed the needles, marking an end to the 20-minute process. She then gave me some herbal medicine to take for 5 days.
I returned to the doctor for a total of 10 sessions, and each time the same routine was repeated and the same herbal medicine was given. The true benefits of the acupuncture treatment became clear: I remained free of headaches for 2 years. 40. If you’ve experienced similar conditions, I highly recommend trying it.
A.At last, my efforts paid off.
B.I now strongly advocate acupuncture.
C.I was then guided to a room and told to lie down.
D.Despite trying different solutions, nothing worked.
E.My initial experience with acupuncture was quite surprising.
F.Though it might seem scary, the acupuncture cured my back pain.
G.Lying still, I could sense the electricity flowing throughout my body.

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。
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the animal shelter, Sarah walked through the rows of cages until her eyes landed on a small, trembling dog huddled (蜷缩) in the corner. “I think I’ve found the one,” Sarah whispered softly to herself as she looked into the dog’s sad eyes. This timid, abandoned dog had no idea that a journey of transformation with friendly people lay in store for him.
The shelter staff explained that the dog, named Buddy, had a difficult past and was very shy and scared. Sarah extended a hand, offering a soothing tone, “Hey sweetie, you must have a story to tell, but from now on, you’ve got a buddy in me.”
Bringing Buddy home was just the beginning of their journey, which was rocky at first for him. Everything was strange and new, causing him to hide under furniture and be startled at every sound. Therefore, Sarah provided a cozy bed, delicious meals, and most importantly, heaps of love and comfort.
Slowly but surely, he started to emerge from his shell, wagging his tail tentatively and gazing at Sarah with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Under Sarah’s patient and loving guidance, Buddy flourished, even learning tricks and commands, and forming a deep bond with his new owner.
The journey of healing turned out to be a success. But Sarah had never expected it would bring about another one. One day, while scrolling through social media, Sarah came across a heart-warming story about dogs being trained to assist children with autism (自闭症). Those children had social communication difficulties and had few facial expressions and gestures. Without hesitation, she inquired about the programme and soon, Buddy was enrolled in training to become a certified therapy(治疗) dog. But she was unsure whether Buddy would be comfortable with the new challenge.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Their first day at the therapy centre was filled with uncertainty.
Paragraph 2:
As the weeks progressed, Sarah noticed a remarkable change both in the children and Buddy.
