阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

I grew up in a small town where elementary school was a ten-minute walk from my house and in an age, not so long ago, when we children could go home for lunch and find our mothers waiting. At the time, I didn't consider this to be so important, although today it certainly would be. Actually, our lunch time together in the past years had had a great influence on my life before I realized it.

Our lunch time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practiced my lines (台词) with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained patiently that she needed a narrator and had written a narrator's part to the play, and asked me to play the role of the narrator. Her words, kindly delivered, still hurt me especially when I saw my part go to another girl.

I didn't tell mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my upset, and instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine () was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) appearing unexpectedly through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with small amounts of gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one of the bushes. “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling a blossom up by all its roots. “From now on, we'll only have roses in this garden.'' I immediately argued, "But I like dandelions. All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions."

    To many of us, art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.

1.Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.

A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.2.

Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”. “It allows me to see the virus from a new angle,” said one listener.3.As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before.”

4.For example, in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup, it “could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame (画面)”, said Joao Do Lago, animator of Netflix’s Castlevania.

As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.5.

A.The AI then translated these notes into music.

B.AI has become an important part of our everyday life.

C.But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now.

D.AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.

E.Besides the music industry, AI has entered the world of poetry as well.

F.This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.

G.Apart from co-creating imaginative works, AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.

 

    Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you may find evidence of human evolution (进化): it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, more young people have bony bumps at the base of their skulls, right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOPs, 枕外隆突).

Australian health scientist David Shahar, the author of the study, told the BBC that he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs over the past ten years. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1,200 skull x-rays from people aged 18–30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture. They found that one in four people had developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at our phones adds stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bump to help reduce the extra stress.

Most of the EEOPs measured just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.

In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Many people assume our bones are solid and unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels(血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.

Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include shrinking jaws, narrower elbows and generally smaller skeletons. The human body is adapting to modern life, so who knows what people in the future might look like?

1.What did the recent study find about EEOPs?

A.They grow on one’s neck.

B.They can lead to many health problems.

C.They may stop growing when you reach 30.

D.They occur among more and more young people.

2.What is the main cause of EEOPs according to the researchers?

A.Extra stress. B.Aging bones.

C.Smartphone use. D.Gene problems.

3.Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A.EEOPs increase the stress on our spines.

B.EEOPs are actually beneficial to our spines.

C.Young people’s bones adapt in similar ways.

D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

4.What’s the writing purpose of the text?

A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B.To explain why human bodies develop EEOPs.

C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.

D.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

 

    When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public’s attention for his recent frank and funny speech.

Zhang’s words first went viral(走红)on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. “When becoming CPC members, we vowed (发誓)that we would always put people’s interests first in the face of difficulties,” Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining.”

Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person’s morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,” said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.

One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: “If you don’t stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”

Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. “I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion (传染病),” said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”

1.What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?

A.His attitude towards his patients. B.His honest and humorous speech.

C.His vow to fight against the virus. D.His broad knowledge of the virus.

2.Zhang Wenhong sent CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that      .

A.they would not bargain B.they should do as they had vowed

C.they would be calmer in a critical situation D.they could win recognition from the people

3.What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong’s words in the last paragraph?

A.He doesn’t like to speak in public.

B.He is looking forward to taking a break.

C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention.

D.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.

 

    I’ve been taking time this week to stop and smell the roses. Literally, I bend over in my neighbors’ front yard, check that nobody is watching, and then bury my head in the flowers.

I’ve also been walking into bakeries, walking around without buying anything.

After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things.

This week, however, my nose is back in business.

I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way of thinking. A pleasant smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable, but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I was carrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threw his little head back and giggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?

The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents, determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.

We don’t write postcards about the small things. We don’t frame them in photographs. They aren’t that great or grand, but without them, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.

As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’m smelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’s an itch I can’t reach!

1.With the first two paragraphs, the writer mainly tries to      .

A.give examples of how she kills time B.show that she loves doing secret things

C.get readers to wonder about her behavior D.discuss new ways on how to enjoy spare time

2.What does the underline phrase “a new way of thinking” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.A habit of overcoming ignorance.

B.A habit of giving personal consideration.

C.An ability to fully use our limited attention.

D.An ability to discover the pleasure of small things.

3.The tone of the story is      .

A.lively B.sad C.calm D.serious

Today my parents and I decided to go to the field to pick some wild vegetable. We started out early in the morning. Followed my parents, I walked behind happily. Soon we arrived at a small river. Though it was not wide, we had no way of to cross it. Dad watched for a while or then he had an idea. Soon they three set up a simple bridge with some stones together. And then we crossed a river easily. Finally, we reached the top of the hill, when there were many wild plants fit eat. At dusk, we were so exhausted to walk further. Luckily, our neighbor drive by and picked us up.

    Do what you love and love what you do, and success will come? Well, we wish. 1.It takes more than just passion to succeed in anything.

Passion is just emotion; care is an action.

Wishing hard and wanting something really badly won’t give you anything. Passion is a barely controllable emotion, and emotion is not always reliable. 2.

In today’s world where people always talk about finding your passion, it still seems vague (模糊的) to many. On the other hand, if you’re asked to find something you care about, it’s easier for you to take action.

3.

There’s a lot of work to do besides being enthusiastic. For example, you can be enthusiastic about painting, but if you don’t have any art sense and painting skills, you can hardly become an expert in painting. 4.The belief that you’ll do it well anyway as long as you like it is just an illusion.

Learn not just what you care about, but what’s around that too.

When you’ve got your focus, try to map out the skills you need to get better at that. When you have the learning plan ready, apply that course you need, get yourself the tools required and start learning and practicing.

Success is a way to go, but you can start right now.

5.But if you’ve already got your passion, it will be good enough to make that your foundation and motivation to keep moving. Start mapping out the skills you need and take actions, Instead of passively letting your passion wander around, be active and do something that will push you forward.

A.Care is different, it implies actions.

B.“Like it” doesn’t mean “Good at it”.

C.Passion alone doesn’t guarantee success.

D.However, reality is not as simple as we want it to be.

E.You are good at something and you need the world to know.

F.Desire to make a difference in the world with your strengths.

G.To become an expert, you need to be always learning and improving your skill.

 

    Cells in our brain usually send “stop eating” signal when we’ve had enough. But after mice ate fatty foods for just two weeks, their brains’ brake on overeating quieted down. That finding may help explain the complex link between food and appetite that can become disordered when people overeat.

Food is essential to life. Our brains have, therefore, evolved a series of systems to make sure we eat enough. Garret Stuber, a neuroscientist at the University of Washington, together with his team took aim at one brain area known to be involved in eating behaviors.

This lateral hypothalamus (下丘脑外侧区) contains many diverse cells Stuber’s group looked at the behaviors of genes in the cells here. And in one typeglutamatergic nerve (谷氨酸能神经) cellsbig differences appear between fat mice and lean ones.

Earlier work by Stuber’s group had suggested that these cells act like a brake on eating. When the researchers prevented these cells from firing, mice suddenly overate. They also fattened up. But it wasn’t clear how the cells’ activity changed as the mice transitioned from slim to fat.

“Obesity doesn’t just happen overnight,” notes Stuber. To find out the secret, his group undertook a new study. They fed mice high-fat food. Now and again, they’d use a fancy microscope to look at how well the animals’ glutamatergic cells could fire off signals.

Two weeks into the high-fat foodeven before the mice became round – the activity of these nerve cells had slowed. It continued as the animals grew larger over a 12-week period. “The cells’ activity was going down as a function of high-fat diet. The results suggest that the high-fat diet is removing the brake on eating and obesity,” explains Stuber.

It’s hard to say whether similar cells normally control people’s appetite. Brain-imaging tests have shown that the same brain region the hypothalamusplays a role when people shift between hunger and feeling full.

1.What happened after the mice ate fatty foods for two weeks?

A.Their appetite was getting worse. B.Their brains became disordered.

C.They refused to eat zero fat food. D.They lacked a feeling of fullness.

2.It can be learned from the text that glutamatergic nerve cells ________.

A.are easily found in lean mice B.can prevent mice from overeating

C.function well under any condition D.are a main part of lateral hypothalamus

3.Why did Stuber’s group undertake the new study?

A.To study the role of glutamatergic cells in mice’s fattening up.

B.To find out the link between high-fat diets and obesity.

C.To find out deciding factors in mice’s appetite.

D.To study the eating habit of fat mice.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Obesity influences glutamatergic nerves’ function.

B.Glutamatergic nerves decide people’s appetite.

C.High-fat diets lead to overeating.

D.Our brains control our food choices.

 

    We often hear such statements: “I spilled (洒出) juice, but it wasn’t my fault.”, “I got in trouble at school, but it wasn’t my fault.” or “I was in a car accident, but it wasn’t my fault.” That “It’s not my fault.” is a go-to response for so many people and especially teenagers.

Parents complain they are tired of the “excuse”. The reason why variations of “It’s not my fault.” are so popular is that it lets us off the hook from guilt and blame. I’m a fan of not owning responsibility for things that I can’t control. Teens who often say “It’s my fault.” when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical, perfectionistic and more easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.

While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself, many teens over-rely on “It’s not my fault.” When trying to get them to take responsibility, parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault. The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle. No one wins. A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.

Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives. This sense has been shown to cause low motivation. Besides creating feelings of lack of ability, overuse of “It’s not my fault.” focuses a teen’s attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.

People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway. The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake. One can certainly stay in water, yelling, “It’s not my fault.” However, that won’t get him out of water. He needs to swim to the shore, regardless of the fault.

If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens, you can help them avoid over-reliance on “It’s not my fault.”

1.What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?

A.The teenagers’ dislike for school life.

B.The common trouble faced by teenagers.

C.The reasons for blaming others for accidents.

D.The tendency for people not to be responsible for mess in life.

2.What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure according to the text?

A.Those lacking confidence and ambition.

B.Those allowing others to find excuses.

C.Those unable to get along well with others.

D.Those often blaming themselves for some incidents.

3.What’s the author’s attitude to parents’ usual way of guiding children?

A.Supportive. B.Negative.

C.Ambiguous. D.Neutral.

4.What lesson is conveyed in the example often shared by the author?

A.We should try to avoid troubling others.

B.We should focus on how to solve problems.

C.We should dare to point out others’ mistakes.

D.We should be self-critical as much as possible.

 

    By the 1970s, the Olympic Marathon had come a long way from the dusty roads of Athens. Yet women were still not allowed to compete and the struggle to establish a women’s Olympic Marathon was itself something of a long-distance race.

Women had been excluded from long-distance running until 1928, when the typical long race was the 800 meters. The women competitors hadn’t properly prepared for the race and several fell down and became temporarily unconscious due to extreme tiredness. This led Olympic organizers in 1928 to consider the marathon too violent for women.

This is not to say there was no tradition of women’s long-distance running. Women had been prohibited from participating in the ancient Olympics by the cruel law. But women in ancient Greece held their own festival to honor the goddess Hera every five years. Only one athletic event was held a running race.

When the Olympics were revived in 1896, women were again excluded. However, in 1967, women’s ability in running attracted great attention. Number 261 in the Boston Marathon was given to K V. Switzer. Not until two miles into the race did officials realize that Switzer was a woman. Race officials tried to catch Switzer and remove her from the race but her teammates fended them off with body blocks. And Switzer wasn’t scared by officials’ aggressive actions. She kept running. Although the running was demanding, Switzer didn’t give up and eventually finished the race. Switzers story made the quest for equality in long-distance running for women a political issue. Slowly, the rules did begin to change.

The first women’s marathon officially agreed by the IAAF was the Tokyo International, held in 1979. IAAF president Adriaan Paulen watched the race. He was so impressed by the level of the competition that he announced he would fully support the effort to establish a women’s marathon in the Olympics. Soon the IAAF recommended to the IOC that a women’s marathon be included in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. And the advice was adopted.

1.What was the reason for women’s failing to attend the Olympic Marathon in 1928?

A.They generally weren’t enthusiastic about it.

B.They were thought not strong enough for it.

C.They weren’t supported by the public to attend it.

D.They were too tired to make full preparations for it.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3?

A.separated B.banned C.freed D.protected

3.Which of the following best describe Switzer?
