A Special Appointment

Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift(轮班)went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.

At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.

The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.

The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. And Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild.

Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.

1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1: Last year I saw Mrs. Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me. Mrs. Lee looked pale. She told me Mr. Lee died from another heart attack two days ago. But he had never forgot our appointment. He prepared the last gift days ago. They lived with a grateful heart and had a meaningful life for as long as 13 years. The appointment is a reminder of the fortune they got from me and the God. Paragraph 2: I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved on it. Now, my family, my friends and I ring that bell on every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget. The bell always reminds us of being helpful to others and thankful to people who have helped me. 【解析】 这是一篇续写。这篇文章讲述了一个特殊的约定。作者圣诞节前夕在医院值班,晚上救了一位患心脏病的病人,接下来患者李先生、他的家人和作者一起度过了13个平安夜。 1.第一段给出的首句是Last year I saw Mrs. Lee alone in the hospital with a gift for me.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“李太太脸色苍白。她告诉我李先生两天前又死于心脏病发作。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。 2.第二段所给首句I carefully opened the package and found a crystal(水晶)bell inside with the word “Friendship” engraved(雕刻)on it.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“现在,我的家人,我的朋友和我在每个圣诞夜的晚上9点准时敲响这个钟声,并向我们永远不会忘记的人致以最美好的祝愿。”入手续写。

Scientists in Australia are also working on vaccine candidates 3. (stop) the spread of the disease. Historically, vaccines have been one of the greatest public health 4.(tool) to prevent disease. But even as new technology, advancements in genomics(基因组学) and improved global coordination have allowed researchers to move at unprecedented speed, vaccine 5.(develop) remains an expensive and risky process. That’s 6. the vaccines must undergo extensive testing in animals and humans. In the best case, it takes at least a year — and most likely 7.(long) — for any vaccine to become available to the public.

How to Form a Positive Reading Habit

Books are a source of joy, learning, insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 1.

Give old favorites a re-read

There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 2. It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are  and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.

Learn something new

If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favorites have in common.3. That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of non-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.

4.

Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do — try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.

Give yourself permission to move on

Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 5.. The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.

A.Get social

B.Set up a book club

C.There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all

D.Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life

E.Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader

F.Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories

G.A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme

    One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.

Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.

Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.

The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.

The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.

Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.

1.What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?

A.Hardness. B.Stickiness.

C.Flexibility. D.Purity.

2.We can learn from the passage that ______.

A.bees disrupt both agriculture and economy

B.scientists have invented self-powered robot insects

C.bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction

D.Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance

3.A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.

A.its body is made like a bee’s

B.its GPS works more efficiently

C.some flowers are coated with the gel

D.horsehairs with the gel are attached to it

4.According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.

A.are not yet ready for practical use

B.may eventually replace bees in the future

C.are much more efficient than bee pollinators

D.can provide a solution to economic depression
