I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old. I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs, One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works. I read the term called “light painting”. a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique Since that day. I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results. I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right.
Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction.
4. What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta
A. He had access to plenty art resources.
B. He was fond of calligraphy channels.
C. He grasped scripts of many languages.
D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy.
5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai
A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning.
C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture.
6. How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy
A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality.
C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space.
7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea
A. A writer putting down real thoughts. B. An educator spreading sound values.
C. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. D. A historian looking for ignored areas.
C
A major reason why plastic bags and yogurt containers aren’t recycled is that it’s much more frugal to make these products from the ground up than to recover them. A new recycling technique reported in the journal Science promises a cost-effective way to transform these common plastic waste items into high-quality liquid fuels.
What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in these plastics require very high temperatures to break, making the process energy-consuming. Once the bonds break, the smaller molecules (分子) that are created quickly form new bonds, giving unwanted chemicals. These byproducts then have to be broken down again adding time and complexity.
Researchers developed a way to turn these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃, without creating any side products. They conduct the chemical reaction in the presence of a new type of catalyst (催化剂) in a special acidic solution. In these reaction conditions, as soon as the carbon bonds in the plastic break apart, new bonds form in a controlled way, giving off the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel or as raw material for new plastics. The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much longer and need temperatures of over 200℃.
The catalyst that the researchers use is already used by some factories. But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a one-step, low-cost method to turn single-use plastics into chemicals, fuels and high-value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable.
8. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1
A. Typical. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Economical.
9. What can we know about plastics from paragraph 2
A. They stretch easily and quickly.
B. They fail to resist heat perfectly.
C. They are stable in chemical properties.
D. They are productive in poisonous gases
10. What does the new way of recycling plastics feature
A. Keeping new bonds from forming. B. Regulating acidity of the solution.
C. Stressing cleanliness and speed. D. Extending functions of plastics.
11. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’s wide application
A. Critical. B. Mindful. C. Hopeless. D. Optimistic.
D
Telegraphic (电报的) speech, limited to a noun and verb and usually containing little to no grammar, obtains its name from its brief nature. It is characterized by using only the most essential words to get the point across, such as “dog running” instead of “the dog is running”.
Some parents use telegraphic speech when communicating with their children in the belief that speaking this way will enable a child to learn to speak faster because only the key words are employed. Experts disagree, however. Telegraphic speech may block the child from learning proper grammar and word meaning, according to Marc Fey, a professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. For example, when parents use grammatically correct sentences, a child can learn that words ending in “-ing” are usually verbs, which gives him or her the ability to make clear distinctions between verbs and nouns.
To encourage a child to leave the telegraphic speech stage, parents want to repeat what their child says in a complete, grammatically correct sentence. The Hanen Center recommends this rule: use only the sentences with your child that you use with an adult.
A child’s vocabulary dramatically increases during the post-telegraphic stage. On average after 24 months, children begin using grammatical constructions of various kinds, such as adding “-ing” to verbs and using define articles such as “the”. Although it may seem that a child’s vocabulary is on decline after leaving this stage, it is actually the contrary. Children begin learning new rules for grammar, which they tend to overgeneralize, thus leading them to make mistakes, such as the use of “-ed” for the past tense of all verbs.
However, parents do not need to worry about these mistakes, as the children are going through a stage that generally passes after they learn and become more familiar with grammar rules. Repeating your child’s sentence with a grammatically correct one will enhance his or her linguistic abilities faster than if you do not correct his or her sentence.
12 How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By offering statistics. B. By defining a concept.
C. By making a contrast. D. By quoting an expert.
13. Why are experts against using telegraphic speech
A. It harms parent-child chats. B. It mistakes verbs for nouns.
C. It dismisses contextual clues. D. It excludes functional words.
14. What can we infer from the post-telegraphic stage
A. Linguistic learning should be flexible.
B. Children’s vocabulary seems stable.
C. Generalization should not be promoted.
D. Kids can naturally grasp grammar rules
15. What does the passage suggest parents do
A Regard kids as adult speakers. B. Try to use various vocabulary.
C. Value targeted language inputs. D. Foresee kids’ expressive errors.

Amy shut the bedroom door behind her, annoyed, “Why do I always have to do the dishes It’s so unfair!” she whispered, sinking onto her bed.
Her mother. Mrs. Thompson, always tried to explain. “Doing housework helps you grow into a responsible person. Amy, And it shows you care about our family.” But Amy never listened. To her, household chores were a tiresome burden, a waste of her precious teenage years.
One Monday evening, as Amy sat at the dinner table pushing her food around her plate, her mother coughed violently. Her face turned pale, and she excused herself, saying she wasn’t feeling well, Mrs. Thompson went to bed early, leaving a sink full of dirty dishes.
Amy thought about asking her mother to wash the dishes later, but something held her back. Remembering her mother’s pale face and weak voice. Amy was overwhelmed with a strange feeling. For the first time, she noticed how tired her mother looked lately. She realized that, besides taking care of the family, her mother also worked long hours at the office.
With a sigh. Amy stood up and walked into the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, feeling discouraged. But she rolled up her sleeves. As she washed the plates and bowls, she thought about all the times her mother had done this without a single complaint. Just as she was finishing up, she heard a soft voice behind her. “Amy ” It was her mother, looking surprised and touched, “You...you did the dishes.”
Amy turned around, feeling a bit embarrassed, “Yeah, well... you weren’t feeling well. so I thought I’d help out,” Mrs. Thompson smiled. her eyes filled with pride. “Thank you, dear, That’s very kind of you.”
That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking. Maybe her mother was right. Maybe doing housework wasn’t just a chore-it was a way to show love and care for her family.

1.续写词数应为150个左右；

I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old. I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs, One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty form different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. After few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works. I read the term called “light painting”. a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique Since that day. I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results. I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not photoshopped. I prefer to get the results straight out of the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right.
Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction.
4. What can be implied from the author’s experience in Quetta
A. He had access to plenty art resources.
B. He was fond of calligraphy channels.
C. He grasped scripts of many languages.
D. He was willing to dig into calligraphy.
5. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai
A. Visual impacts of structures. B. Remarkable urban planning.
C. Mysterious building stories. D. Odd angles of architecture.
6. How did the author enhance the effects of light calligraphy
A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to originality.
C. By beautifying his photos. D. By drawing in open space.
7. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea
A. A writer putting down real thoughts. B. An educator spreading sound values.
C. An artist regenerating forgotten sites. D. A historian looking for ignored areas.

A major reason why plastic bags and yogurt containers aren’t recycled is that it’s much more frugal to make these products from the ground up than to recover them. A new recycling technique reported in the journal Science promises a cost-effective way to transform these common plastic waste items into high-quality liquid fuels.
What makes plastics useful, namely their strength and resistance to high temperatures, becomes an annoyance when it comes to recycling the materials. The strong carbon-carbon bonds in these plastics require very high temperatures to break, making the process energy-consuming. Once the bonds break, the smaller molecules (分子) that are created quickly form new bonds, giving unwanted chemicals. These byproducts then have to be broken down again adding time and complexity.
Researchers developed a way to turn these plastics into useful fuels at temperatures below 100℃, without creating any side products. They conduct the chemical reaction in the presence of a new type of catalyst (催化剂) in a special acidic solution. In these reaction conditions, as soon as the carbon bonds in the plastic break apart, new bonds form in a controlled way, giving off the chemicals called alkanes. The alkanes can be used either as a fuel or as raw material for new plastics. The entire reaction takes place in a single reaction container. It takes only three hours and occurs at 70℃. By comparison, existing recycling techniques typically require two stages, take much longer and need temperatures of over 200℃.
The catalyst that the researchers use is already used by some factories. But it will take more research to know whether the technique can be translated to more occasions. If so, such a one-step, low-cost method to turn single-use plastics into chemicals, fuels and high-value materials could go a long way in making the plastic economy sustainable.
8. What does the underlined word “frugal” mean in paragraph 1
A. Typical. B. Reliable. C. Reasonable. D. Economical.
9. What can we know about plastics from paragraph 2
A. They stretch easily and quickly.
B. They fail to resist heat perfectly.
C. They are stable in chemical properties.
D. They are productive in poisonous gases
10. What does the new way of recycling plastics feature
A. Keeping new bonds from forming. B. Regulating acidity of the solution.
C. Stressing cleanliness and speed. D. Extending functions of plastics.
11. What is researchers’ attitude toward the technique’s wide application
A. Critical. B. Mindful. C. Hopeless. D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
D
Telegraphic (电报的) speech, limited to a noun and verb and usually containing little to no grammar, obtains its name from its brief nature. It is characterized by using only the most essential words to get the point across, such as “dog running” instead of “the dog is running”.
Some parents use telegraphic speech when communicating with their children in the belief that speaking this way will enable a child to learn to speak faster because only the key words are employed. Experts disagree, however. Telegraphic speech may block the child from learning proper grammar and word meaning, according to Marc Fey, a professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. For example, when parents use grammatically correct sentences, a child can learn that words ending in “-ing” are usually verbs, which gives him or her the ability to make clear distinctions between verbs and nouns.
To encourage a child to leave the telegraphic speech stage, parents want to repeat what their child says in a complete, grammatically correct sentence. The Hanen Center recommends this rule: use only the sentences with your child that you use with an adult.
A child’s vocabulary dramatically increases during the post-telegraphic stage. On average after 24 months, children begin using grammatical constructions of various kinds, such as adding “-ing” to verbs and using define articles such as “the”. Although it may seem that a child’s vocabulary is on decline after leaving this stage, it is actually the contrary. Children begin learning new rules for grammar, which they tend to overgeneralize, thus leading them to make mistakes, such as the use of “-ed” for the past tense of all verbs.
However, parents do not need to worry about these mistakes, as the children are going through a stage that generally passes after they learn and become more familiar with grammar rules. Repeating your child’s sentence with a grammatically correct one will enhance his or her linguistic abilities faster than if you do not correct his or her sentence.
12 How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By offering statistics. B. By defining a concept.
C. By making a contrast. D. By quoting an expert.
13. Why are experts against using telegraphic speech
A. It harms parent-child chats. B. It mistakes verbs for nouns.
C. It dismisses contextual clues. D. It excludes functional words.
14. What can we infer from the post-telegraphic stage
A. Linguistic learning should be flexible.
B. Children’s vocabulary seems stable.
C. Generalization should not be promoted.
D. Kids can naturally grasp grammar rules
15. What does the passage suggest parents do
A Regard kids as adult speakers. B. Try to use various vocabulary.
C. Value targeted language inputs. D. Foresee kids’ expressive errors.

Amy shut the bedroom door behind her, annoyed, “Why do I always have to do the dishes It’s so unfair!” she whispered, sinking onto her bed.
Her mother. Mrs. Thompson, always tried to explain. “Doing housework helps you grow into a responsible person. Amy, And it shows you care about our family.” But Amy never listened. To her, household chores were a tiresome burden, a waste of her precious teenage years.
One Monday evening, as Amy sat at the dinner table pushing her food around her plate, her mother coughed violently. Her face turned pale, and she excused herself, saying she wasn’t feeling well, Mrs. Thompson went to bed early, leaving a sink full of dirty dishes.
Amy thought about asking her mother to wash the dishes later, but something held her back. Remembering her mother’s pale face and weak voice. Amy was overwhelmed with a strange feeling. For the first time, she noticed how tired her mother looked lately. She realized that, besides taking care of the family, her mother also worked long hours at the office.
With a sigh. Amy stood up and walked into the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, feeling discouraged. But she rolled up her sleeves. As she washed the plates and bowls, she thought about all the times her mother had done this without a single complaint. Just as she was finishing up, she heard a soft voice behind her. “Amy ” It was her mother, looking surprised and touched, “You...you did the dishes.”
Amy turned around, feeling a bit embarrassed, “Yeah, well... you weren’t feeling well. so I thought I’d help out,” Mrs. Thompson smiled. her eyes filled with pride. “Thank you, dear, That’s very kind of you.”
That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking. Maybe her mother was right. Maybe doing housework wasn’t just a chore-it was a way to show love and care for her family.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】
The next morning, Amy woke up early and headed straight to the kitchen. She found her mother sitting at the table, sipping a cup of tea. Seeing Amy, Mrs. Thompson looked surprised. “Why are you up so early ” she asked. Amy smiled and replied, “I want to help make breakfast today. After all, I’ve learned that doing housework is a way to show love.” Her mother’s eyes widened with joy, and she hugged Amy tightly, saying, “I’m so proud of you, dear.”
From that day on, Amy’s perspective on doing household chores changed. She no longer saw them as tiresome tasks but as opportunities to contribute to her family’s happiness. Whenever she did the dishes or swept the floor, she thought about how these small acts made a big difference. One day, when her friends complained about doing chores, Amy shared what she had learned, telling them, “I’ve realized that helping out at home is not just a duty; it’s a way to show we care.” Her words made her friends pause and think.
