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 first played ping-pong in our basement (地下室) at home. My brother and I asked for an old wooden table from my grandfather. It was painted green. Although it was very simple, it served its purpose every day. My father never really played any other sports with me, but ping-pong was one that he played quite well and it took me plenty of time before I could beat him. My elder brother was also a very good competitor. When I got to university, I was happy to discover a ping-pong table in the common room. I spent a great deal of time there, often until the midnight. There were about three or four friends that I often played against. We were all at the same skill level. One of them had ever played in a tournament (锦标赛). A friend from Germany said his father had ever won the German national tournament. We took part in a tournament. My ranking (名次) is the third place, but I had beaten the first and second place winners when we had played for fun. I sometimes played with other friends who didn’t play ping-pong well, so I would use my left hand to give them an advantage. But before long I became so skilled with my left hand that they no longer had the advantage. Later, I played in a ping-pong competition which was held by my university. I lost at first. But because it was double climination (双淘汰制), I went to the loser group. I beat all the players and then played against the student who had beaten me in the first round. Surprisingly, I beat him 3 times and won the competition. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 应使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: Later, there was a tournament held in the city where I studied. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the tournament I didn’t often play the sport because of the busy study. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The time-out (暂停)is a method to punish your children's misbehavior (不当行为).Children are taken away from their present situation for a few minutes. During the time-out they are put in a place and not allowed to do anything. It's a great way to help your children calm down and realize their shortcomings. 1.. Decide what is worth a time-out Find a quiet moment to discuss a time-out principle for your family, determining where you'll give time-outs, for what reasons, and for how long. 2.. And you can make your first time-out feel prepared and calm. Give a warning Instead of suddenly giving a time-out to your children, warn them that they'll get one if they continue to be naughty. 3.. At this age children are often angry without realizing it. Giving them a time-out can make them calm. Some kids dislike time-outs very much, so that finally the warning itself does the job. However, warnings are not enough. When your children hit, kick, or bite someone, use a time-out right away. 4. It's a good idea to choose a time-out place, such as a chair or the end of a hallway. But remember that the place you choose needs to be safe and shouldn't be frightening. Decide how long time-outs will last 5.. Your children should have enough time to stop misbehaving and calm down. If it is too short or too long, your children may forget the punishment or become upset. Many experts advise one minute per year of your children's age. You can watch the clock yourself or set an alarm clock and tell them that the punishment is over when it rings. A. Select a place B. Use time-out regularly C. A time-out needs enough time D. You needn't make decisions in a hurry E. Here are a few ways to make it work for you F. Give your children hugs and kisses after the time-out G.

Millions of people suffer from motion sickness (晕动症). They have a lot of activities they fear. They often avoid doing these activities which include long-distance airplane travel, sea-trips, road-trips, even certain movies and video games. However, the French company Boarding Ring promises that it has its way to solve the problem, as long as the users are willing to wear Boarding Glasses! Why do many people suffer from motion sickness? It is believed that the brain fails to deal with mixed signals from body parts. For example, when you are looking at your phone on a moving bus, your inner ear realizes the move but your eyes, focused on the screen, think you don't move. Boarding Glasses tries to ease (减轻)motion sickness by making the user's eyes and ears transmit the same message. After the brain receives the same message, it will think you are in a moving environment Though that sounds difficult, the science behind the glasses is surprisingly simple. The plastic frames (框架)，made up of two round frames on the front and two on the side, are filled with some blue liquid. Any movement can cause the liquid to flow around the eyes. This allows the eyes to sense the move and send the correct signal to the brain. According to Antoine Jeannin, CEO of Boarding Ring, Boarding Glasses has been tested. The CEO said that over 95 percent of the users felt better after wearing the glasses. The best part is that Boarding Glasses only has a frame, so a single pair can be worn among a group of friends, or even an entire family! 1.Why do some people suffer from motion sickness according to the passage? A.Their eyes can't see the move. B.Their bodies are in a bad condition. C.Their ears can't hear in a moving environment. D.Their brains can't deal with mixed signals from body parts. 2.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.The shortcomings of Boarding Glasses. B.The design for Boarding Glasses' future. C.The working principle of Boarding Glasses. D.The response of people wearing Boarding Glasses. 3.Which word can best replace the underlined word “transmit” in paragraph 3? A.calm B.send C.destroy D.attack 4.What might be the best title for the passage? A.Boarding Glasses Promises to Ease Motion Sickness B.Why Do People Dislike Motion Sickness C.Why Do People Suffer from Motion Sickness D.Boarding Glasses Can Make You See the World Clearly
It’s not possible to stay together with loved ones all the time. Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. During that time they might face something terrible. Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort (安慰) loved ones. There is no use worrying a lot about them. Keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. I think it is what I can do to help my loved ones. My daughter has been working full-time during summer about 10 hours a day. She has to study hard for a big entrance exam. At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and analyse (分析) the situation, Was there a better way of time management? Was there a better way of studying for this test? However, that was not always helpful. Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to fix. However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation. It was hard to read someone’s mind. I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情) this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness. It was a fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. I’ve realized it and I’m grateful for this chance to share online. Give it a try too and you’ll enjoy sweetness. 1.What can we learn from the first paragraph? A.Worry is the best comfort to a loved one. B.It is impossible to love someone around us. C.The distance helps you do more to loved ones. D.It’s no use worrying a lot about loved ones not around us 2.How did the author comfort her daughter at last? A.By talking about solutions. B.By analysing all problems. C.By buying a gift for her. D.By giving simple emojis online. 3.Where is the passage probably taken from? A.A website. B.A newspaper. C.A life journal. D.A speech report.
Located a few blocks away from the White House, Sakina Halal grill in Washington DC is a restaurant with a difference. Enter during the busy lunch time and you will find businessmen and women eating side by side with the homeless. The owner Kazi Mannan, who is from Pakistan, would not run it in any other way. Growing up in a village with no electricity, running water or even a building for a school, Kazi is familiar with poverty (贫穷) and hunger. Even in those hard days, whenever his mother Sakina cooked for her own children, she would provide some for her neighbours as well. When Kazi reached America, he only had three dollars in his hand. With the help of a Pakistani bus driver, he finally earned a down payment (首付款) on a restaurant. The first thing he did was change the name of the restaurant. He named it after his mother Sakina Halal Grill, whom he lost 26 years ago. But he did not stop there, Keeping his mother’s teachings in mind, he not only used her old recipes (菜谱) but also decided to let the homeless eat at his restaurant for free. On the opening day of the restaurant, Kazi personally walked to the nearby park and invited the homeless there to have food at his restaurant. Many friends said, “Don’t let homeless people come inside your restaurant. They will ruin your business. “But I don’t care. If I fail, I fail!” said Kazi Mannan. In less than 5 years, Sakina Halal Grili has risen to such popularity that Kazi is able to feed over 16, 000 people for free every year. He also prepares extra food on Sundays for nearly 50 homeless people at the Georgetown Ministry Center. His deeds (事迹) encourage locals to volunteer there as well. 1.Why did Kazi change the name of the restaurant? A.To complete his mothers wishes. B.To attract more customers. C.To memorise his mother.

China is using travel as an important tool to help strengthen its economy.At the recent First World Conference on Tourism a Chinese official spoke about the government’s plan for using tourists and the money they spend. The head of China’s National Tourism Administration, Li Jinzao, said that China plans to send 150million travelers along what he called the “One Belt, One Road”. In the next five years, these tourists are expected to spend $200 billion, he said. This spending estimate(估计) is likely to raise expectations among countries along the ancient Silk Road, which links China to its neighbors. China has reasons to feel it can use tourism to influence the foreign policy. Governments across the world are changing their immigration rules to welcome the growing numbers of Chinese tourists. Chinese citizens are now going to places where in the past Chinese rarely went. Marketing expert Michel Gutsatz said that among Chinese travelers, South Korea and Thailand are popular destinations. Outside of Asia, he said, Chinese are more likely to visit Europe than North America. These changes, he said, are the result of young Chinese travelers, who spend more and travel independently. Spending by Chinese tourists has lifted the economies of several Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. It is expected that the number of Chinese traveling overseas to reach 242 million by 2024. In a single year, that number would be equal to the total number of tourists received by Germany, Iran, Indonesia and Egypt combined China is now the biggest business travel market in the world, The Global Business Travel Association(GBTA) recently announced that China has overtaken the United States in business travel. Chinese spent just over$291 billion on business travel last year. Americans spent just over $290 billion. This year, GBTA predicts that the Chinese business travel market will grow over 10 percent, while the Us business travel market will grow less than 2 percent. 1.We can infer from the passage that foreign countries ________. A.welcome Chinese immigration to their countries B.take Chinese tourists as their supporting power C.make policies to ban Chinese tourists D.rely entirely on Chinese tourists to increase their economy 2.What makes young Chinese travelers prefer spending holidays in Europe? A.They want to visit the places they rarely visited in the past. B.They spend more money and travel by their own. C.They want to travel to farther places than just nearby countries. D.They think Europe is a more fashionable and poplar destination. 3.What is the importance of receiving tourists from China for some Asian countries? A.Chinese tourists make great contribution to their economy. B.Chinese tourists can widen their business travel market. C.The number of Chinese tourists is larger than that of European tourists. D.They have greater expectations from Chinese tourists 4.What can be the best title of the passage? A.China’s “One Belt, One Road” plan B.Foreign Countries Change Their Policies to Attract Chinese Tourists C.China Has the Biggest Business Travel Market D.Tourism Helps China Strengthen Its Economy
The United States has more tornadoes (龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1,000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest, the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada. The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆) of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail (冰雹). Suddenly, there is a loud sound, like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area. This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas, not one home stood. In other areas, the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didn't touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado. 1.What can we learn about tornadoes in America? A.There are more tornadoes in the Eastern States. B.They usually happen in the summer. C.They may appear in groups. D.There are more than 1,000 tornadoes every year. 2.The tornadoes that hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999 _____.

We have most friends at the age of 26 after having spent the first quarter of our lives building up our friendship circle, new research has claimed. The research into friendship shows that our social circle peaks at 26 years and 7 months, at which we typically have five close friends.Women are most popular at 25 years and 10 months, with men hitting the highest friendship point a little later at 27 years and 3 months. The research, by Forever Friends, shows that about a third of adults meet their closest friends while at school，with about a fifth saying they meet them at work. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter now also play a major role in building new friendship.The research points out that 25 to 34yearolds make 22 friends via Facebook, compared to 18 to 24yearolds who make 12, and 35 to 44yearolds who make just four. Forever Friends' relationship coach Sam Owen says, “It is no coincidence that over a third of us meet our best friends at school. It is a key time in our lives when friendship is growing through sharing notes，giving gifts, seeing each other regularly and laughing a lot. As adults we can often forget how powerful these small things are and how the little things can make a difference.” Later in life we find ourselves losing friends. Over half of us lose friendship through moving, while 36% say that over time they grow apart from close pals. Having children also causes 19% to drift away from childhood friends. With growing pressure being put on friendship these days，it's important to make time for our friendship. 1.How many friends can a 20yearold college student make via Facebook? A.4. B.12. C.18. D.22. 2.In Paragraph 5，the author is trying to tell the readers________. A.how important making friends is B.that friendship is not easy to keep C.how much has been done to keep friendship D.School time is an important period to develop friendship. 3.The underlined phrase “drift away from” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.

There was a piano shop on the street through that I went to the school every day. Whenever I passed the shop, look at the piano which stood in the corner of the shop window. What desperately I had been dreaming day and night to possess a piano like that. Unfortunate, my father was just a clerk, but he could not afford to buy me an expensive piano, though he knew that I was very anxious for one.

The methods of practicing economy (实行节俭) are very simple.1. That is the first rule. A part should always be set apart for the future. The person who spends more than he earns, is a fool. The next rule is to pay necessary money. 2.The person who spends more than he earns tends to get cheated; and if he often does so, he will easily get dishonest. Another method of economy is, to keep a regular account of all that you earn. An orderly man will know beforehand what he requires, and will be provided with the necessary means for getting it. Thus his budget will be balanced. 3. It is difficult to fix the limits of economy. Bacon says that if a man would live well within his income, he ought not to spend more than one half, and save the rest. This is perhaps too exact. He himself didn’t follow his own advice. That depends on circumstances. Wherever there is a large family, the more money that is put to one side and saved, the better. Economy is necessary to the rich, as well as to the comparatively poor man. 4. If he spends all that he earns, he can help nobody. He cannot properly educate his children, nor put them in the way of starting fairly in the business of life? Saved money, however little, will serve to dry up many a tear; will avoid many sorrows and heart burnings, which otherwise might damage us. 5. A. tie will not spend money as he likes. B. Without economy, a man cannot be generous. C. Spend less than you earn. D. Never run into debt. E. You cannot expect anyone help you economically. F. And his expense will be kept within his income. G. By doing this, a person walks with a lighter step-his heart beats more cheerily.
From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you' re barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球)saw high temperatures in July. The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 ℃, The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃ at this time of the year. The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect (极地放大效应). The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040. This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported. Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu(图瓦鲁) in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives(马尔代夫) in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea. 1.Which of the following is true? A.Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years. B.China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer. C.The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic. D.The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer. 2.What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to? A.The heat wave in the Arctic. B.The result of global warming. C.The Arctic getting warm faster. D.Getting warmer in the world. 3.What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice? A.The polar will become dangerous. B.There will be an end of water shortage. C.Sea levels rise in the long term. D.There will be no ice in the world by 2040. 4.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Heat hits Arctic. B.Arctic animals are in danger. C.The world became hotter than before. D.Some countries may disappear into the sea.
Gold is one of the rarest materials on Earth and has always been considered a valuable and precious resource. It's very likely that someone in your family owns something made of gold, especially since China is one of the world's biggest buyers of gold jewellery. It's even in our smartphones - they contain parts made from this expensive material. But where does this beautiful metal actually come from? The answer: outer space. This August, Chinese scientists became the first in the world to witness gravitational waves（引力波）caused by the collision of neutron (中子）stars, reported Xinhua News Agency. The sight was witnessed at China's Kunlun Antarctic Station at the South Pole, and Insight, China’s first X-ray astronomical satellite, also contributed to the discovery. Although collisions of black holes have been recorded before, this was the first time that two neutron stars were known to have collided. It's believed that such collisions lead to huge explosions of energy, and even to the creation of precious metals such as gold and silver. “The collision of neutron stars is like a very large gold factory in the universe,” Jin Zhiping，a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua. According to an article published by space.com, scientists have long believed gold and other materials are created in this way, but it wasn't until the recent collision that their theory was confirmed. “The origin of the really heaviest chemical elements in the universe had confused the scientific community for quite a long time,” Hans-Thomas Janka, a senior scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Germany, said in a news release. “Now, we have the first observational proof for neutron star mergers(合并) as sources.” Indeed, the recently observed collision is thought to have produced an amount of gold that would weigh 10 times more than Earth, according to New Scientist Don’t expect to be showered in gold any time soon, however. The collision actually took place 130 million years ago, taking all that time for the event's light to reach Earth. But at least if you want to see a piece of space up close, all you have to do is to look at the ring on your mom's finger - or the smartphone in your pocket. 1.What's the author's purpose of writing the first two paragraphs? A.To emphasize the rareness of gold. B.To list some uses of gold in daily life. C.To explain the reasons for the popularity of gold. D.To interest readers about the source of gold. 2.What would the collision of neutron stars lead to according to Xinhua? A.The creation of black holes. B.The death of the stars. C.The disappearance of gravitational waves. D.The creation of gold. 3.What’s the text mainly about? A.China’s Kunlun Antarctic Station does research into gold. B.Collisions between two neutron stars result in gold C.Collisions contribute to the discovery. D.Gold is considered a valuable and precious rescource. 4.What can we learn from the article? A.The amount of gold produced by the collision was very small. B.The collision was the largest reported in history. C.China played a big role in the new discovery. D.The collision took place 130 years ago.
More than 2,000 years ago, when the last shovelful(一铲) of dirt fell on the Tarracotta Warriors, it was thought that they would never see the sunlight again and would spend the rest of their “lives” guarding and protecting the first Chinese emperor, Qinshihuang, who died in 210 BC. But things got better off these clay soldiers. Ever since they were discovered in Xi’an in 1974,by a group of farmers; they’ve been able to see the bigger world-traveling from one museum to the next. They are now on display in New York at Discovery Times Square, reported the New York Times. However, the story doesn’t end here. The roughly 2,000 soldiers found so far are estimated to be only one quarter of the total number. Moreover, scientists haven’t yet dared to touch the central tomb, which is believed to contain the body of the emperor himself. “Partly it’s out of respect for the elders,” explained Kristin Romey, consultant for the exhibition. “But they also realize that nobody in the world right now has the technology to properly go in and excavate(挖掘) it.” This is true. According to ancient writings, the emperor’s tomb is circled by rivers of liquid mercury(水银) which is highly poisonous but can keep the body in good condition. Studies of the soil around the tomb also found a large amount of mercury. This makes exploring the tomb very dangerous. The other reason that scientists have been hesitating is that they are afraid of the damage they might cause by opening the tomb. “When we began excavating ‘the soldiers’, the minute they were exposed to air and sunlight, the pigment(颜料) just flaked off (剥落),” Romey told the Fox News. But he believes that the solution will come when science advances. Perhaps a visual robot can be sent into the tomb first to investigate and help figure out the best way to protect it. In the end, scientists and historians must weigh their desire to know against the damage their digging might cause. “Archaeology, ultimately (最终),is a destructive science,” Romey said. “You have to destroy stuff in order to learn about it.” 1.What is the point of the article? A.To tell about the mysteries of Qinshihuang’s tomb. B.To analyze why archaeology is a destructive science. C.To explain the risks of further excavating Qinshihuang’s tomb. D.To introduce the Terracotta Warriors exhibition in New York. 2.What can be concluded from the article? A.The decision whether to open the tomb or not is likely to be influenced by the pace of technological progress. B.It is estimated that about 10,000 clay soldiers were buried with Qinshihuang in his grave. C.The highly poisonous mercury was used by Qinshihuang to keep away those who attempt to destroy his tomb. D.Scientists won’t excavate Qinshihuang’s tomb until they think of a good way to preserve the body of the emperor. 3.The underlined word “investigate” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means________. A.settle down B.arrange C.take over D.explore 4.What should scientists and historians pay attention to in their work according to the article? A.They should respect the ancient world during their work. B.They should balance the value and damages of their work. C.They should always take their own safety into consideration. D.They should have a continuous desire to know new things.

The following two ways always make this easier to do this: either you stay there longer or you visit it more frequent. Once you don't regard yourself to a tourist, you will start seeing things in the different way and start experiencing things like a local person. One of my longest trip was recently in Xi'an, when I stayed for a month. As days went by, life moves forward from take long walks to tasting delicious local foods. I'd never been enjoyed these before that trip, so I have decided to go for a much longer stay next time I travel.
