B
A
British
woman
who
once
weighed
some
322
pounds
said
breaking
a
roller
coaster
seat
during
an
amusement
park
outing
was
her
motivation
for
working
toward
a
healthier
weight.
Four
years
ago,
Danielle
Wright,
27,
went
to
the
Alton
Towers
theme
park
in
Staffordshire,
England,
with
her
sister.
She
wanted
to
avoid
roller
coasters,
fearing
that
she
was
too
heavy
for
them.
But
she
was
convinced
to
give
it
a
try
and
boarded
one
of
the
rides.
"Fitting
in
the
seat
was
bad
enough,
but
when
it
came
to
pulling
down
the
safety
bar,
my
stomach
stopped
it
from
working,"
she
recalled.
"One
of
the
employees
came
over
and
had
to
put
his
foot
against
the
ride
and
push
the
bar
hard
to
make
it
click
into
place."
She
was
worried
throughout
the
ride
that
“the
bar
was
going
to
pop
open
and
I
was
going
to
be
thrown
off
the
tracks”.
When
the
ride
ended,
the
bar
sprang
up
and
made
a
huge
noise.
Shortly
after,
she
heard
an
announcement
over
the
loudspeaker
saying
the
ride
was
temporarily
closed
due
to
a
broken
seat.
Though
it
was
embarrassing,
the
incident
presented
a
silver
lining.
"It's
what
I
needed
to
motivate
me
to
lose
pounds,"
Danielle
said.
She
totally
changed
her
diet,
cutting
back
on
carbohydrate
and
replacing
food
like
chocolate
with
healthier
choices
such
as
apples
and
yogurt.
Meanwhile,
she
also
began
participating
in
workout
classes.
In
November
2016,
Danielle
found
out
she
was
pregnant.
But
as
tempted
as
she
was,
she
didn't
allow
herself
to
eat
unhealthy
food
while
pregnant
and
stuck
to
her
new
diet.
Now
Danielle
weighs
some
140
pounds.
"Being
able
to
run
and
play
with
my
little
boy
is,
he
best
part
of
it
all.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
reward,"
she
said.
4.
Why
did
Danielle
want
to
avoid
roller
coasters
at
first?
A.
She
was
afraid
of
heights.
B.
She
couldn't
afford
a
ride.
C.
She
didn't
want
to
lose
face.
D.
She
thought
she
was
overweight.
5.
What
happened
when
Danielle's
ride
ended?
A.
The
bar
pop
opened.
B.
She
was
slightly
injured.
C.
An
employee
helped
her.
D.
Everything
went
smoothly.
6.

part
“a
silver
lining”
probably
mean?

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了英国女子Danielle
Wright曾经因为超重，在坐过山车时弄坏了座椅，而决心减肥的事情。介绍了事情发生的经过以及给Danielle带来的影响。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“She
wanted
to
avoid
roller
coasters,
fearing
that
she
was
too
heavy
for
them.(她想避开坐过山车，担心自己对他们来说太重了)”可知，Danielle一开始要避开坐过山车，是因为她认为她超重了。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“When
the
ride
ended,
the
bar
sprang
up
and
made
a
huge
noise.(当过山车结束时，安全栏弹了出来，发出了巨大的噪音)”可知，Danielle坐完过山车后，安全栏打开了。故选A。

what
I
needed
to

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“
She
totally
changed
her
diet,
cutting
back
on
carbohydrate

replacing
food
like
chocolate
with
healthier
choices
such
as
apples
and

C
All
animals
play.
Runing,
rolling
and
wrestling
with
each
other
is
a
way
for
them
to
have
fun,
of
course.
But
it
also
seems
to
be
how
they
communicate
and
strengthen
bonds
with
each
other.
When
a
dog
comes
up
to
another
dog,
front
legs
bowed
and
his
tail
high,
his
buddy
knows
he
wants
to
play.
But
new
research
shows
that
this
play
behavior
is
surprisingly
similar
when
horses
and
dogs
play.
To
study
interspecies
communication,
Elisabetta
Palagi
and
her
colleagues
from
the
University
of
Pisa
found
20
YouTube
videos
of
dogs
and
horses
playing
where
their
interactions
lasted
at
least
30
seconds.
They
analyzed
the
videos,
looking
for
specific
pattern
of
play.
They
found
that
while
playing,
both
dogs
and
horses
often
had
relaxed,
open
mouths-which
is
common
playful
facial
expression
in
mammals.
Some
also
copied
each
other's
movements,
like
pretending
to
bite,
playing
with
an
object,
or
rolling
on
their
backs
on
the
ground.
A
2,000-pound
horse
can
play
with
a
relatively
tiny
dog
because
the
two
are
able
to
communicate
their
intentions.
"It's
an
important
study
because
it
shows
how
two
animals
who
look
and
behave
so
differently
can
nevertheless
manage
to
negotiate
how
to
play
in
a
way
that's
comfortable
for
both,"
Barbara
Smuts,
a
behavioral
ecologist
at
the
University
of
Michigan,
told
National
Geographic.
It's
even
more
noteworthy
given
the
large
size
difference
between
horses
and
dogs.
The
dog
is
vulnerable
(易受伤的)
to
injury
by
the
horse,
and
the
horse
has
a
deeply
rooted
tendency
to
fear
animals
that
look
like
wolves."
Next
up,
the
researchers
write,
is
exploring
the
development
and
shaping
of
interspecies
communication
that
“can
be
at
the
basis
of
a
universal
language
of
play".
8.
What
is
the
focus
of
Elisabetta
Palagi's
study?
A.
Behaviors
of
mammals.
B.
Animal
facial
expressions.
C.
Inter
species
communication.
D.
Differences
in
animal
languages.
9.
Which
is
a
shared
way
of
communication
for
both
dogs
and
horses?
A.
High
tails.
B.
Openmouths.
C.
Relaxedlegs.
D.
Hardbites.
10.
What
makes
the
interaction
between
dogs
and
horses
especially
remarkable?
A.
They
feel
less
comfortable
around
other
species.
B.
Horses
are
often
at
risk
of
being
injured
by
dogs.
C.
Dogs
manage
to
overcome
their
natural
fear
for
wolves.
D.
They
communicate
despite
physical
and
behavioral
differences.
11.
Which
of
the
following
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.
How
dogs
learn
to
speak
to
other
animals
B.
Horses
and
dogs--
more
similar
than
different
C.
Horses
and
dogs
share

D.
The
development
of
inter
species
communication
【答案】8.

C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了不用物种之间也存在交流。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干关键词“Elisabetta
Palagi's
study”定位到文章第三段第一句“To

communication,
Elisabetta
Palagi
and
her

20
YouTube

30
seconds.
”为了研究物种间的交流，伊丽莎白?帕拉吉和她来自比萨大学的同事在
youtube
上发现了20个狗和马玩耍的视频，视频中它们的互动持续了至少30秒。可知，Elisabetta
Palagi研究的目的是研究物种之间的交流。选项C和文意一致。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。结合第四段第一句“They
found
that
while
playing,
both
dogs
and
horses
often
had
relaxed,
open
mouths-which
is
common
playful
facial
expression
in

”他们发现，在玩耍时，狗和马通常都会张开放松的嘴——这是哺乳动物常见的嬉戏面部表情。可知，在玩耍时，狗和马共同的方式是张开嘴。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。结合第五段中“It's
an
important
study
because
it
shows
how
two

look
and
behave
so
differently
can
nevertheless
manage
to

how
to
play

for
both”这是一项重要的研究，因为它展示了两种外表和行为如此不同的动物是如何设法以一种双方都感到舒适的方式玩耍的；倒数第二段中“It's
even
more
noteworthy
given
the
large
size
difference
between
horses
and
dogs.
”更值得注意的是，马和狗的体型差别很大。可以推知，尽管马和狗体型的差别很大，但它们还是可以设法以一种双方都感到舒适的方式玩耍的，这是值得注意的。选项D符合文意。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章在第一段论述了所有的动物都会玩，进而通过Elisabetta
Palagi的研究发现不同物种之间：狗和马尽管存在体型和行为上的差别，同样能找到它们双方都感到舒适的方式玩耍。据此可知，本文主要阐述了马和狗之间在玩耍上有着共同感到舒适的方式。选项C.“Horses
and
dogs
share
universal
play
language”马和狗共享通用的游戏语言。符合文意。故选C。
D
On
an
autumn
afternoon,
a
remote
sheep
farm
in
southern
Greenland
is
quiet.
The
silence
is
abruptly
broken
when
dozens
of
sheep
come
thundering
across
the
hills
overlooking
the
farm.
Walking
after
them
are
Lars
Nielsen
and
his
37-year-old
son
Kunuk
Nielsen.
The
Nielsen
family
has
owned
and
run
the
farm
since
1972.
Kunuk
says
the
summers
now
are
longer
than
when
he
was
a
child
and
that
drought
has
become
a
problem.
The
fields
are
not
so
green
as
those
in
the
old
days.
He
has
to
buy
hay
(草料)
from
European
countries.
The
effects
of
a
warming
climate
are
obvious
on
the
land.
While
he
intends
to
struggle
on,
his
older
brother
Pilu
has
chosen
a
different
path.
Pilu,
40,
lives
in
Qaqortoq
in
the
south
of
Greenland
--
a
town
of
about
3,000
people.
Ten
years
ago,
he
got
his
helicopter
pilot's
license
and
is
now
part
owner
of
a
small
company
called
Sermeq
Helicopters.
It
caters
to
construction
and
telecommunication
workers
and
an
increasing
number
of
foreign
tourists.
Pilu
says
he
loves
his
family's
sheep
farm.
But
he
saw
that
warming
temperatures
were
making
remote
areas
of
Greenland
more
accessible
and
wanted
to
look
for
other
opportunities.
His
company's
most
popular
tours
include
a
visit
to
Greenland's
glaciers.
The
warming
temperatures
are
also
affecting
traditional
ways
of
life,
particularly
hunting.
The
sea
ice
is
changing;
it's
becoming
less
so
that
hunting
on
ice
becomes
more
difficult.
When
there's
no
sea
ice,
it's
difficult
to
use
dog
sledges
(雪橇)，and
the
whole
culture
around
having
dogs
and
dog
sledges
and
doing
traditional
hunting
on
the
ice
is
sort
of
diminishing.
Besides,
many
Greenlanders,
like
Pilu,
are
leaving
the
countryside
for
towns
and
the
capital
city
Nuuk,
where
opportunities
are
greater.
A
report
found
that
Nuuk's
share
of
Greenland's
population
grew
from
17.2%
in
1977
to
29.2%
in
2014.
If
there
were
enough
houses
in
Nuuk,
the
share
would
even
be
bigger.
12.
What
problem
does
Kunuk
Nielsen's
farm
face?
A.
Lack
of
workers.
B.
Less
food
for
his
sheep.
C.
Less
space
forhissheep.
D.
Lack
of
foreign
markets.
13.
How
do
rising
temperatures
affect
Greenland?
A
By
casting
a
shadow
on
its
business.
B.
By
making
it
hard
for
locals
to
earn
a
living.
C.
By
promoting
the
development
of
its
tourism.
D.
By
making
more
remote
areas
suitable
for
living.
14.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“diminishing”
probably
mean?
A.
Occurring.
B.
Operating.
C.
Adapting.
D.
Decreasing
15.
Which
of
the
following
limits
Nuuk's
population
growth?
A
Housing
pressure.
B.
Climate
change.
C.
Weakeconomy.
D.
Poor
living
conditions.
【答案】12.

D

A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章阐述气候变化不止对格陵兰岛的环境有影响同时也影响到了岛上居民的生活，经济等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The
Nielsen
family
has
owned
and
run
the
farm
since
1972.
Kunuk
says
the
summers
now
are
longer
than
when
he
was
a
child
and
that
drought
has
become
a
problem.
The
fields
are
not
so
green
as
those
in
the
old
days.
He
has
to
buy
hay
(草料)
from
European
countries.”（尼尔森家族自1972年以来一直拥有并经营这个农场。Kunuk说，现在的夏天比他小时候要长，干旱已经成为一个问题。田野不像以前那么绿了。他不得不从欧洲国家购买干草。）可知，因为气候问题，Kunuk
Nielsen的农场现在面临的问题干草不够。以至于他不得不从欧洲国家购买干草。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Pilu
says
he
loves
his
family's
sheep
farm.
But
he
saw
that
warming
temperatures
were
making
remote
areas
of
Greenland
more
accessible
and
wanted
to
look
for
other
opportunities.
His
company's
most
popular
tours
include
a
visit
to
Greenland's
glaciers.”（皮鲁说，他喜欢他家的牧羊场。但是，他看到不断变暖的气温使人们更容易接近格陵兰岛的偏远地区，于是他想寻找其他机会。他的公司最受欢迎的旅游项目包括格陵兰冰川。）可知，气温的升高促进了格陵兰岛旅游业的发展。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。划线前句提到“When
there's
no
sea
ice,
it's
difficult
to
use
dog
sledges
(雪橇)”（在没有海冰的情况下，使用狗拉雪橇是很困难的）可推断因为很难在看到狗拉雪橇了。所以后句提到的“养狗和雪橇以及传统冰上狩猎的文化”应该是正在“减少”。D项可译为“下降，减少”符合题意。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A
report
found
that
Nuuk's
share
of
Greenland's
population
grew
from
17.2%
in
1977
to
29.2%
in
2014.
If
there
were
enough
houses
in
Nuuk,
the
share
would
even
be
bigger.”（一份报告发现，Nuuk占格陵兰人口的比例从1977年的17.2%上升到2014年的29.2%。如果Nuuk有足够多的房子，这个比例还会更大。）可知，住房压力限制了Nuuk人口的成长。故选A项。

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
Home
libraries
can
be
a
dynamic
expression
of
the
owner's
personality.
Creating
a
home
library
is
a
fun
way
to
display
your
interests
while
establishing
a
special
space
for
reading.
While
there's
no
right
or
wrong
way
to
design
a
library,
the
questions
can
be
puzzling,
especially
to
someone
with
hundreds
or
thousands
of
books.
How
do
I
organize?___16___
We'll
discuss
how
to
build
a
home
library
that
works
for
you.
What
room
should
I
use
for
my
home
library?___17___
While
reading
in
a
room
with
big
windows
and
lots
of
light
is
refreshing,
storing
books
in
natural
light
is
harmful
to
them.
Basements
heavy
with
humidity（湿气）will
cause
mold
(霉菌)
and
attract
insects.___18___
When
you
started
using
the
public
library,
you
probably
learned
about
Melvil
Dewey
and
his
system
for
ordering
libraries.
The
Dewey
Decimal
Classification
System
has
ten
broad
categories
for
organizing
books,
including
philosophy,
religion
and
the
arts.___19___
For
example,
when
you
want
a
book
on
modern
art,
you
head
to
the
700th
block.
Larger
libraries,
such
as
those
at
universities,
tend
to
use
the
Library
of
Congress
Classification
System,
because
it
offers
a
more
specific
array
of
subjects
for
categorization,
adding
subjects
such
as
medicine
and
law
for
a
total
of
21categories.
___20___
Your
home
library
may
or
may
not
be
as
large
as
your
local
public
library,
but
a
good
system
of
organization
will
still
help
you
find
the
book
you
want
quickly.
You
could
take
a
page
from
Dewey
and
the
Library
of
Congress
and
sort
books
by
subject
matter.
Sections
for
subjects
such
as
history,
technology
or
fiction
might
make
their
retrieval
(检索)
easier.
This
system
will
also
allow
you
to
highlight
a
particular
passion,
such
as
an
extensive
collection
of
World
War
II
history,
A.
How
do
I
get
everything
to
fit?
B.
Each
category
is
assigned
a
number.
C
Almost
everybody
wants
a
home
library.
D.
A
good
system
of
organization
is
the
key.
E.
In
addition,
basements
are
likely
to
be
flooded.
F.
Almost
any
room
will
do
with
a
few
exceptions.
G.
The
size
of
a
home
library
depends
on
how
much
space
you
can
spare.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了如何建立一个适合你的家庭图书馆。
【详解】1.根据本段中“While
there's
no
right
or
wrong
way
to
design
a
library,
the
questions
can
be
puzzling,
especially
to
someone
with
hundreds
or
thousands
of
books.
How
do
I
organize?”虽然图书馆的设计没有对错之分，但设计图书馆的问题可能会让人迷惑不解，尤其是对拥有成百上千本书的人来说。我怎么设计呢？可知，此处谈论的是设计图书馆碰到的问题。选项A.How
do
I
get
everything
to
fit?我怎么才能让所有东西都匹配呢？也是一个问题，和文意一致。故选A。
2.结合本段首句“What
room
should
I
use
for
my
home
library?”我的家庭图书馆应该用哪个房间？根据后文中“While
reading
in
a
room
with
big
windows
and
lots
of
light
is
refreshing,
storing
books
in
natural
light
is
harmful
to
them.
”虽然在一个大窗户和光线充足的房间里阅读是一件令人耳目一新的事情，但在自然光线下存放书籍对他们是有害的。以及之后的“Basements...”地下室......，可知，空白处是讲述具体设计时，不同房间的都是有自身的特点。选项F.“Almost
any
room
will
do
with
a
few
exceptions.”几乎任何房间都可以，只有少数例外。和下文内容在逻辑上是一致的。故选F。
3.根据上文“Basements
heavy
with
humidity（湿气）will
cause
mold
(霉菌)
and
attract
insects.”潮湿的地下室会发霉，吸引昆虫。讲述了
地下室的缺点，因此在接下来的描述中可以对此缺点进行补充说明。选项E.“In
addition,
basements
are
likely
to
be
flooded.”此外，地下室可能被水淹。符合语境。故选E。
4.根据上文“The
Dewey
Decimal
Classification
System
has
ten
broad
categories
for
organizing
books,
including
philosophy,
religion
and
the
arts.”杜威十进制图书分类法系统有10大类组织书籍，包括哲学、宗教和艺术。提到了对图书进行分类的方法。结合空白处后“For
example,
when
you
want
a
book
on
modern
art,
you
head
to
the
700th
block.”例如，当你想要一本关于现代艺术的书，你就去第700街区。此处举例说明了通过编号可以对书进行分类后。所以空白处要讲述的是对书籍是可以进行编号分类。选项B.“Each
category
is
assigned
a
number.”每个类别都有一个编号。符合文意。故选B。
5.由下文中“Your
home
library
may
or
may
not
be
as
large
as
your
local
public
library,
but
a
good
system
of
organization
will
still
help
you
find
the
book
you
want
quickly.
”你的家庭图书馆可能不像当地的公共图书馆那么大，但是一个好的组织系统仍然会帮助你快速找到你想要的书。说明了一个好的组织系统对选择图书的重要性。所以空白处应该讲述好的组织系统是重要的。选项D.“A
good
system
of
organization
is
the
key.”一个好的组织系统是关键。和下文的意义一致，故选D。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When
talking
about
our
bodies,
we
often
forget
our
skin.
Actually,
our
skin
is
very
important,
too.
It
keeps
us___36___(inform)of
the

pull
up
the

of
your
hand
and
then
let
___38___go.
What
happens?
The
skin
goes
back
to
its

which
means
that
skin
is
elastic
(有弹性的).
Our

seems
to
be
very
thin,

it
_____39_____
(make)
up
of

The

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人体上的皮肤，说明了皮肤的构成、作用以及人体通过皮肤出汗等情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它让我们了解外面的世界——无论是热还是冷，潮湿还是干燥。此处为“keep+宾语+宾补”结构，且us与inform构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作宾补。故填informed。

【39题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：我们的皮肤看起来很薄，但它是由两层组成的。结合上文seems可知为一般现在时，且主语it与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为it，谓语动词用单数。故填is
made。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，它仍然非常重要，因为它可以防止污垢和疾病。此处作宾语，表示“防护，防卫”应用名词protection，表抽象概念，不可数。故填protection。
【41题详解】

do
sth.，后跟不定式作宾补。故填to
pass。

Every
year
on
my
birthday,
from
the
time
I
turned
12,
a
white
gardenia
was
delivered
to
my
house
in
Bethesda,
Maryland.
No
card
or
note
came
with
it.
Calls
to
the
florist
were
always
in
vain-
-it
was
a
cash
purchase.
After
a
while
I
stopped
trying
to
discover
the
sender's
identity
and
was
just
delighted
in
the
beauty
and
fragrance
of
that
magical,
perfect
white
flower
placed
in
soft
pink
tissue
paper.
However,
I
never
stopped
imagining
who
the
anonymous
giver
might
be.
My
mother
contributed
to
these
imaginings.
And
at
that
time,
she'd
ask
me
if
there
was
someone
for
whom
I
had
done
a
special
kindness
showing
appreciation.
As
a
teenager,
I
had
more
fun
imagining
that
it
might
be
a
boy
I
fell
in
love
or
one
who
had
noticed
me
even
though
I
didn't
know
him.
When
I
was
17,
a
boy
broke
my
heart.
The
night
he
called
for
the
last
time,
I
cried
myself
to
sleep.
When
I
awoke
in
the
morning,
there
was
a
line
of
words
on
my
mirror
in
red
lipstick.
I
thought
about
that
quotation
from
Emerson
for
a
long
time,
and
until
my
heart
healed
and
went
to
get
the
glass
cleaned,
my
mother
knew
everything
was
all
right
again.
One
month
before
my
high
school
graduation,
my
father
died
of
a
heart
attack.
My
feelings
ranged
from
grief
to
abandonment,
fear
and
overwhelming
anger;
my
dad
was
missing
some
of
the
most
important
events
in
my
life.
I
became
completely
uninterested
in
my
coming
graduation,
the
play
and
the
prom.
But
my
mother,
in
the
midst
of
her
own
grief,
would
not
hear
of
my
skipping
any
of
those
things.
The
day
before
my
father
died,
my
mother
and
I
had
gone
shopping
for
a
prom
dress.
We'd
found
a
spectacular,
and
impressive
one,
with
yards
and
yards
of
dotted
Swiss
in
red,
white
and
blue.

It

like
a
film
star,
but
it
was

wrong
size.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
She
always
loved
her
children
all

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph
1:
It
made
me
feel
like
a
film
star,
but
it
was
the
wrong
size.
Although
I
liked
it
very
much,
I
felt
quite
sorry
for
its
wrong
size.
The
next
day,
my
father
died,
and
I
had
no
time
to
deal
with
the
dress,
so
I
threw
it
at
random.
However,
until
the
day
before
the
prom,
I
found
a
new
dress
was
hung
in
the
living
room,
it
was
the
right
size!
My
mother
did
it.
Relief
and
gratitude
filled
my
heart.
Paragraph
2:
She
always
loved
her
children
all
the
way.
She
not
only
would
come
up
with
a
variety
of
ways
to
meet
her
children's
needs,
but
also
would
be
very
artistic
to
show
her
love
to
her
children.
For
example,
delivering
a
white
gardenia
to
my
house
every
year
on
my
birthday
was
a
magical
and
mysterious
incident
to
me
all
the
time.
But
I
didn't
know
the
truth
until
my
mother
died
because
the
gardenia
stopped
coming
after
that
year.
And
at
that
time,
I
could
not
stop
my
tears
of
gratitude
rolling
down.
【解析】
【分析】
本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了每年过生日时作者总能收到神秘人送的白色栀子花，作者对神秘人一直心存想象。后来作者的父亲因病去世，是母亲默默的爱一直陪伴作者成长。在作者的每个重要阶段，母亲总是尽力让她的爱不缺席。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“它让我感觉自己像个电影明星，但它的尺寸不对。”可知，第一段可描写作者很喜欢买的毕业舞会的礼服，但尺寸不对作者穿着不合适，是母亲给作者修改好了尺寸。作者对母亲心存感激。
②由第二段首句内容“她一直都爱她的孩子们。”可知，第二段可描写母亲会想出各种方法来满足孩子们的需要，并艺术地表达她对孩子们的爱。母亲去世后作者才发现一直送栀子花的神秘人原来就是母亲。
2.续写线索：修改礼服——感激——爱孩子——发现真相——泪目

A
British
woman
who
once
weighed
some
322
pounds
said
breaking
a
roller
coaster
seat
during
an
amusement
park
outing
was
her
motivation
for
working
toward
a
healthier
weight.
Four
years
ago,
Danielle
Wright,
27,
went
to
the
Alton
Towers
theme
park
in
Staffordshire,
England,
with
her
sister.
She
wanted
to
avoid
roller
coasters,
fearing
that
she
was
too
heavy
for
them.
But
she
was
convinced
to
give
it
a
try
and
boarded
one
of
the
rides.
"Fitting
in
the
seat
was
bad
enough,
but
when
it
came
to
pulling
down
the
safety
bar,
my
stomach
stopped
it
from
working,"
she
recalled.
"One
of
the
employees
came
over
and
had
to
put
his
foot
against
the
ride
and
push
the
bar
hard
to
make
it
click
into
place."
She
was
worried
throughout
the
ride
that
“the
bar
was
going
to
pop
open
and
I
was
going
to
be
thrown
off
the
tracks”.
When
the
ride
ended,
the
bar
sprang
up
and
made
a
huge
noise.
Shortly
after,
she
heard
an
announcement
over
the
loudspeaker
saying
the
ride
was
temporarily
closed
due
to
a
broken
seat.
Though
it
was
embarrassing,
the
incident
presented
a
silver
lining.
"It's
what
I
needed
to
motivate
me
to
lose
pounds,"
Danielle
said.
She
totally
changed
her
diet,
cutting
back
on
carbohydrate
and
replacing
food
like
chocolate
with
healthier
choices
such
as
apples
and
yogurt.
Meanwhile,
she
also
began
participating
in
workout
classes.
In
November
2016,
Danielle
found
out
she
was
pregnant.
But
as
tempted
as
she
was,
she
didn't
allow
herself
to
eat
unhealthy
food
while
pregnant
and
stuck
to
her
new
diet.
Now
Danielle
weighs
some
140
pounds.
"Being
able
to
run
and
play
with
my
little
boy
is,
he
best
part
of
it
all.
I
couldn't
have
asked
for
a
better
reward,"
she
said.

lining”
probably
mean?
A.
A
basic
fact.
B.
?
positive
side.
C.
A
serious

D.
An

experience.
7.
Which
of
the
following
can
best
describe
Danielle?
A.
Ambitious.
B.
Sensitive.
C.
Patient.
D.
Determined.
C
All
animals
play.
Runing,
rolling
and
wrestling
with
each
other
is
a
way
for
them
to
have
fun,
of
course.
But
it
also
seems
to
be
how
they
communicate
and
strengthen
bonds
with
each
other.
When
a
dog
comes
up
to
another
dog,
front
legs
bowed
and
his
tail
high,
his
buddy
knows
he
wants
to
play.
But
new
research
shows
that
this
play
behavior
is
surprisingly
similar
when
horses
and
dogs
play.
To
study
interspecies
communication,
Elisabetta
Palagi
and
her
colleagues
from
the
University
of
Pisa
found
20
YouTube
videos
of
dogs
and
horses
playing
where
their
interactions
lasted
at
least
30
seconds.
They
analyzed
the
videos,
looking
for
specific
pattern
of
play.
They
found
that
while
playing,
both
dogs
and
horses
often
had
relaxed,
open
mouths-which
is
common
playful
facial
expression
in
mammals.
Some
also
copied
each
other's
movements,
like
pretending
to
bite,
playing
with
an
object,
or
rolling
on
their
backs
on
the
ground.
A
2,000-pound
horse
can
play
with
a
relatively
tiny
dog
because
the
two
are
able
to
communicate
their
intentions.
"It's
an
important
study
because
it
shows
how
two
animals
who
look
and
behave
so
differently
can
nevertheless
manage
to
negotiate
how
to
play
in
a
way
that's
comfortable
for
both,"
Barbara
Smuts,
a
behavioral
ecologist
at
the
University
of
Michigan,
told
National
Geographic.
It's
even
more
noteworthy
given
the
large
size
difference
between
horses
and
dogs.
The
dog
is
vulnerable
(易受伤的)
to
injury
by
the
horse,
and
the
horse
has
a
deeply
rooted
tendency
to
fear
animals
that
look
like
wolves."
Next
up,
the
researchers
write,
is
exploring
the
development
and
shaping
of
interspecies
communication
that
“can
be
at
the
basis
of
a
universal
language
of
play".
8.

is
the
focus
of
Elisabetta
Palagi's
study?
A.
Behaviors
of

B.
Animal
facial

C.
Inter

is
a
shared
way
of
communication
for
both
dogs
and
horses?
A.

D.
Hardbites.
10.
What
makes
the
interaction
between
dogs
and
horses
especially
remarkable?
A.
They
feel
less
comfortable
around
other
species.
B.
Horses
are
often
at
risk
of
being
injured
by
dogs.
C.
Dogs

their
natural

for
wolves.

On
an
autumn
afternoon,
a
remote
sheep
farm
in
southern
Greenland
is
quiet.
The
silence
is
abruptly
broken
when
dozens
of
sheep
come
thundering
across
the
hills
overlooking
the
farm.
Walking
after
them
are
Lars
Nielsen
and
his
37-year-old
son
Kunuk
Nielsen.
The
Nielsen
family
has
owned
and
run
the
farm
since
1972.
Kunuk
says
the
summers
now
are
longer
than
when
he
was
a
child
and
that
drought
has
become
a
problem.
The
fields
are
not
so
green
as
those
in
the
old
days.
He
has
to
buy
hay
(草料)
from
European
countries.
The
effects
of
a
warming
climate
are
obvious
on
the
land.
While
he
intends
to
struggle
on,
his
older
brother
Pilu
has
chosen
a
different
path.
Pilu,
40,
lives
in
Qaqortoq
in
the
south
of
Greenland
--
a
town
of
about
3,000
people.
Ten
years
ago,
he
got
his
helicopter
pilot's
license
and
is
now
part
owner
of
a
small
company
called
Sermeq
Helicopters.
It
caters
to
construction
and
telecommunication
workers
and
an
increasing
number
of
foreign
tourists.
Pilu
says
he
loves
his
family's
sheep
farm.
But
he
saw
that
warming
temperatures
were
making
remote
areas
of
Greenland
more
accessible
and
wanted
to
look
for
other
opportunities.
His
company's
most
popular
tours
include
a
visit
to
Greenland's
glaciers.
The
warming
temperatures
are
also
affecting
traditional
ways
of
life,
particularly
hunting.
The
sea
ice
is
changing;
it's
becoming
less
so
that
hunting
on
ice
becomes
more
difficult.
When
there's
no
sea
ice,
it's
difficult
to
use
dog
sledges
(雪橇)，and
the
whole
culture
around
having
dogs
and
dog
sledges
and
doing
traditional
hunting
on
the
ice
is
sort
of
diminishing.
Besides,
many
Greenlanders,
like
Pilu,
are
leaving
the
countryside
for
towns
and
the
capital
city
Nuuk,
where
opportunities
are
greater.
A
report
found
that
Nuuk's
share
of
Greenland's
population
grew
from
17.2%
in
1977
to
29.2%
in
2014.
If
there
were
enough
houses
in
Nuuk,
the
share
would
even
be
bigger.
12.
What
problem
does
Kunuk
Nielsen's
farm
face?
A.
Lack
of
workers.
B.
Less
food
for
his
sheep.
C.
Less
space
forhissheep.
D.
Lack
of
foreign
markets.
13.
How
do
rising
temperatures
affect
Greenland?
A.
By
casting
a
shadow
on
its
business.
B.
By
making
it
hard
for
locals
to
earn
a
living.
C.
By
promoting
the
development
of
its
tourism.
D.
By
making
more
remote
areas
suitable
for
living.
14.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“diminishing”
probably
mean?
A.
Occurring.
B.
Operating.
C.
Adapting.
D.
Decreasing
15.
Which
of
the
following
limits
Nuuk's
population
growth?
A.
Housing
pressure.
B.
Climate
change.
C.
Weakeconomy.
D.
Poor
living
conditions.

Home
libraries
can
be
a
dynamic
expression
of
the
owner's
personality.
Creating
a
home
library
is
a
fun
way
to
display
your
interests
while
establishing
a
special
space
for
reading.
While
there's
no
right
or
wrong
way
to
design
a
library,
the
questions
can
be
puzzling,
especially
to
someone
with
hundreds
or
thousands
of
books.
How
do
I
organize?___16___
We'll
discuss
how
to
build
a
home
library
that
works
for
you.
What
room
should
I
use
for
my
home
library?___17___
While
reading
in
a
room
with
big
windows
and
lots
of
light
is
refreshing,
storing
books
in
natural
light
is
harmful
to
them.
Basements
heavy
with
humidity（湿气）will
cause
mold
(霉菌)
and
attract
insects.___18___
When
you
started
using
the
public
library,
you
probably
learned
about
Melvil
Dewey
and
his
system
for
ordering
libraries.
The
Dewey
Decimal
Classification
System
has
ten
broad
categories
for
organizing
books,
including
philosophy,
religion
and
the
arts.___19___
For
example,
when
you
want
a
book
on
modern
art,
you
head
to
the
700th
block.
Larger
libraries,
such
as
those
at
universities,
tend
to
use
the
Library
of
Congress
Classification
System,
because
it
offers
a
more
specific
array
of
subjects
for
categorization,
adding
subjects
such
as
medicine
and
law
for
a
total
of
21categories.
___20___
Your
home
library
may
or
may
not
be
as
large
as
your
local
public
library,
but
a
good
system
of
organization
will
still
help
you
find
the
book
you
want
quickly.
You
could
take
a
page
from
Dewey
and
the
Library
of
Congress
and
sort
books
by
subject
matter.
Sections
for
subjects
such
as
history,
technology
or
fiction
might
make
their
retrieval
(检索)
easier.
This
system
will
also
allow
you
to
highlight
a
particular
passion,
such
as
an
extensive
collection
of
World
War
II
history,
A.
How
do
I
get
everything
to
fit?
B.
Each
category
is
assigned
a
number.
C.
Almost
everybody
wants
a
home
library.
D.
A
good
system
of
organization
is
the
key.
E.
In
addition,
basements
are
likely
to
be
flooded.
F.
Almost
any
room
will
do
with
a
few
exceptions.
G.
The
size
of
a
home
library
depends
on
how
much
space
you
can
spare.

Every
year
on
my
birthday
from
the
time
I
turned
12,
a
white
gardenia
was
delivered
to
my
house
in
Bethesda,
Maryland.
No
card
or
note
came
with
it.
Calls
to
the
florist
were
always
in
vain-
-it
was
a
cash
purchase.
After
a
while
I
stopped
trying
to
discover
the
sender's
identity
and
was
just
delighted
in
the
beauty
and
fragrance
of
that
magical,
perfect
white
flower
placed
in
soft
pink
tissue
paper.
However,
I
never
stopped
imagining
who
the
anonymous
giver
might
be.
My
mother
contributed
to
these
imaginings.
And
at
that
time,
she'd
ask
me
if
there
was
someone
for
whom
I
had
done
a
special
kindness
showing
appreciation.
As
a
teenager,
I
had
more
fun
imagining
that
it
might
be
a
boy
I
fell
in
love
or
one
who
had
noticed
me
even
though
I
didn't
know
him.
When
I
was
17,
a
boy
broke
my
heart.
The
night
he
called
for
the
last
time,
I
cried
myself
to
sleep.
When
I
awoke
in
the
morning,
there
was
a
line
of
words
on
my
mirror
in
red
lipstick.
I
thought
about
that
quotation
from
Emerson
for
a
long
time,
and
until
my
heart
healed
and
went
to
get
the
glass
cleaned,
my
mother
knew
everything
was
all
right
again.
One
month
before
my
high
school
graduation,
my
father
died
of
a
heart
attack.
My
feelings
ranged
from
grief
to
abandonment,
fear
and
overwhelming
anger;

dad
was
missing
some
of
the
most
important
events
in
my
life.

became
completely
uninterested
in
my
coming
graduation,
the
play
and

prom.

skipping
any
of
those
things.

day
before
my
father
died,

mother
and
I

gone
shopping
for

prom
dress.

spectacular,
and
impressive
one,
with
yards
and
yards
of
dotted
Swiss
in
red,
white
and
blue.

it
