He was too young to fly and join the adults. So, we had to bring him onto our back porch to ensure his safety. A week later, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family. We called the little guy Peeper. ‎ A year passed and we were accustomed to the life of taking care of him. Peeper slept on our back porch each night. My dad would spray off all the goose’s droppings daily. Part of this ritual(例行的事)included dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean. One evening, my dad threw him up again, but this time, Peeper just flew off and never back again. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory for my family. ‎ Geese live to be around 25 years old, are very loyal, and never forget their first home. Even so, it came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. At first, I assumed it was just another goose. And yet, something about the lone male seemed oddly familiar to me. ‎ After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, it became clear to me that this wasn't a random goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to, like trying to come in through the front door and sleeping in our enclosed pool area. In addition to looking like Peeper's old ways, this goose also responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later. ‎ This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life. I hope that my children, someday, have the opportunity to connect with nature and a wild being in this same way. People long for connection with the natural world. Through Peeper, I have learned so much about myself and about the nature of love.‎ ‎4. What did the author's family do to the little goose?‎ A. He taught him some tricks.‎ B.

According to a study a team of scientists recorded tomato and tobacco (烟草) plants producing sound frequencies which humans cannot hear in stressful situations—such as when they ‎ experienced a lack of water or their stems (茎) were cut.‎ Previous research has shown that plants respond to stress by producing several visual and chemical signals. For example, stressed plants may differ in color and shape compared to unstressed plants. Meanwhile, some are also known to let out things in response to drought (干旱) or being eaten.‎ The latest study, meanwhile, is the first to identify plants making sounds which can be detected over a distance. The team detected the tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour on average when they were exposed to drought conditions, while the tobacco plants produced 11. When the stems of the plants were cut, the tomato plants made 25 sounds an hour on average and the tobacco plants produced 15. As a comparison, unstressed plants made less than one sound per hour on average, according to the study.‎ The team say that while they only tested tomato and tobacco, it’s possible that other plants could also produce sounds, adding that the latest findings could have an influence on agriculture. “Plant sound production could offer a new way for monitoring crops water state—a question of key importance in agriculture”, the authors wrote in the study more precise irrigation can save up to 50 percent of the water cost and increase the production.‎ ‎“In times when more and more areas are exposed to drought due to climate change, while human population and consumption keep increasing, effective water use becomes even more important for food security”, they said “Our results, showing the ability to distinguish between drought-stressed and control plants on the basis of plant sounds, open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture.”‎ ‎8. Which of the following best describes plants’ response to stress in the study?‎ A. Sing. B. Laugh.‎ C. Cry. D. Sigh.‎ ‎9. What can we know from the first 3 paragraphs?‎ A. Humans can hear the sound produced by plants.‎ B. Stressed and unstressed plants look the same.‎ C. Plants in stressful situations make the fewest sounds.‎ D. Stressed tomato plants make more sounds than tobacco.‎ ‎10. How can the study help agriculture?‎ A. Lower the cost. B. Better the quality.‎ C. Monitor climate change. D. Control the pests.‎ ‎11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?‎ A. Science. B. Health.‎ C. Education. D. Culture.‎ ‎【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。研究人员通过对西红柿和烟草植物在缺水或其茎被切断时的观测，首次发现，植物在压力下会发出声音，并讲述了这项研究发现对农业生产应用的影响。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中According to a study a team of scientists recorded tomato and tobacco (烟草) plants producing sound frequencies which humans cannot hear in stressful situations—such as when they experienced a lack of water or their stems (茎) were cut. 根据一项研究，一组科学家记录了西红柿和烟草植物产生的声音频率，这些频率人类在紧张的情况下听不到，比如缺水或茎被切断。由植物在缺水或者茎被切断时声音会发出，可知，在这项研究中，cry“发出刺耳的叫声”最能描述植物对压力的反应。故选C项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中Researchers have found, for the first time plants letting out sounds when they are stressed. 研究人员首次发现，植物在压力下会发出声音。以及第三段中The team detected the tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour on average when they were exposed to drought conditions, while the tobacco plants produced 11. When the stems of the plants were cut, the tomato plants made 25 sounds an hour on average and the tobacco plants produced 15. 研究小组发现，番茄植株在干旱条件下平均每小时发出35种声音，而烟草植株发出11种声音。当这些植物的茎被切断时，番茄植株平均每小时发出25个声音，烟草植株每小时发出15个声音。通过数字的对比，可知，从前三段我们可以知道压力大的番茄比烟草发出的声音更大。故选D项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Plant sound production could offer a new way for monitoring crops water state—a question of key importance in agriculture”, the authors wrote in the study more precise irrigation can save up to 50 percent of the water cost and increase the production.‎ ‎ 研究报告的作者们在报告中写道：“植物声音的产生可以为监测作物的水状况提供一种新方法——这是农业中一个非常重要的问题。”更精确的灌溉可以节省高达50%的水成本，并提高产量。可知，这项研究帮助农业降低了成本。故选A项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中Researchers have found, for the first time plants letting out sounds when they are stressed.研究人员首次发现，植物在压力下会发出声音；最后一段中“Our results, showing the ability to distinguish between drought-stressed and control plants on the basis of plant sounds, open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture.” “我们的研究结果,以植物的声音为基础，显示了区分有干旱压力和控制植物的能力,打开一个精准农业领域的新方向。”可知，本篇文章主要介绍了植物在压力下会发出声音，并介绍了了这项研究发现对农业生产应用的影响，因此这篇文章可能出现在报纸的科学版面。故选A项。‎ D We've all spent time in a hospital, whether through medical issues of our own or those of a loved one. And while we're used to seeing the doctors hurry in and out of the room, displaying varying degrees of attention, it's the constant and reliable presence of the nursing staff and their professionalism that gives the most confidence and relief to those in the room. ‎ So, while doctors and surgeons tend to get most spotlight, nurses are really at the forefront of patient care. They are often called upon to make important, life-saving decisions multiple times a day and work closely with doctors to analyze records and test results to advise on treatment. It's the nurses that are frequently responsible for identifying a condition and matching the right specialist doctor to a patient, and it's the nurses that are often the first on the scene to treat people in an emergency. ‎ A career in Nursing brings job security, a good wage, career mobility, and chance to decide your own career path. You can work part or full time according to your preference. You can be flexible on work location and specialism. If a particular area interests you, you can explore that as there will always be the need for quality nurses across the medical spectrum(医学光谱)with a passion for their work. Jobs in the field are in high demand, with significant opportunities to learn, grow and reach senior leadership positions. However, if you want to undertake a career in Nursing, a good education is compulsory. ‎ The University of Texas at El Paso School of Nursing offers high quality and affordable ‎ undergraduate and graduate programs reinforced by talented faculty(全体教师), strong clinical partnerships and advanced simulation(模拟)technology.

Bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. ''How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy(笨拙的) in my old age. ''‎ Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank, who sat quietly listening to the others. Someone said, ''Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment. ''‎ Frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. ''I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a fisherman. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed a big family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home. ''‎ He looked at us and said, ''I wish you could have met my Dad. He was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. No matter how much my mother washed his clothes, they would still smell of the sea and of fish. ''‎ Frank's voice dropped a bit. ''When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch(喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a goodbye kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old. I was a big boy and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye! ''‎ He paused and then went on, ''I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, 'No, Dad. ' ''‎ ‎……‎ 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；‎ ‎2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ Paragraph 1:‎ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. __________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. ____________‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Paragraph 1:‎ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, ''Dad, I'm too old for a goodbye kiss on the cheek. I'm too old for any kind of kiss. '' My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. ''You're right, '' he said. ''You are a big boy…a man. I won't kiss you anymore. ''‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes. And he spoke. ''It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. It was a bad weather day when most of the fishermen stayed in, but not Dad. He had a big family to feed. The ocean has swallowed him up.''‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了一个故事。董事会结束时Bob不小心打翻了咖啡，他觉得很尴尬。后来，大家都开始讲述自己记忆中最尴尬场景。‎ ‎【详解】续写分为两部分。第一部分的开头是：那是我第一次用那样的方式和他讲话，他脸上出现了惊讶的表情……所以可以接着写：我说：“爸爸，我已经足够大，不要在我脸颊上吻别了！那已经不适合我了。”父亲看着我，眼睛里涌出了泪水。他说：“你是对的。你现在已经是个大男孩了，不，你已经是个男子汉了，我以后不会在亲吻你了。”‎ 第二段的开头是：弗兰克脸上出现了一个滑稽的表情，然后泪水模糊了他的双眼……所以可以接着写：他接着说：“在那之后不久，我爸爸去出海就再也没有回来过了。那天的天气不好，所有的渔人都待在家，除了我的父亲，因为他有一大家要养。海洋吞没了他。”‎ 续写是要注意所写内容要符合故事逻辑，基础时态是一般过去时，但直接引语要根据具体情况来判断。‎ ‎【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些主从复合句，例如：It was a bad weather day when most of the fishermen stayed in, but not Dad.中when引导定语从句。‎
