Is It a Healthy Interest
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the world’s greatest living explorer. His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation (极地环行) and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot. So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise is highly beneficial as it reduces both the pulse (脉搏) rate and the blood pressure so reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body. It also helps to keep the artery (动脉) walls more elastic (有弹性的).
But can you push yourself too much On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of “moderate” exercise a week，which is a little more than quick walking. “We need to be careful when we’re doing extreme sports,” says expert Len Almond. “Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body’s ability to recover. The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme.”
We all know how the Olympics began. The man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with news of a victory died as soon as he arrived，and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack. Further research was done by scientists. They studied cyclists (自行车运动员) on a race that covers 230km with a height change of 5,500m. They were interested in one particular enzyme (酶), high concentrations of which are found in those who have suffered a heart attack. The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race. The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports. But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes，you ask whether exercise is worth it. I advise you to consider your own condition. Personally, I agree with the saying: “Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.”
4. According to the passage, taking exercise can_______ .
A. speed up the heart rate B. increase stress on the heart
C. reduce the blood pressure D. keep the artery walls straight
5. What does expert Len Almond suggest
A. Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress.
B. Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body.
C. We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports.
D. There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress.
6. Why is the research on the cyclists mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To suggest a different area of research.
B. To support the activity of taking part in sports.
C. To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists.
D. To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks.
7. The author believes that exercise_______.
A. helps you have a regular life B. adds years to your life
C. should be done in moderation D. will be worth the effort
C
A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) so much. "I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds," he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It's not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected with their culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about sunflower seeds.
B. She ate various snacks while watching TV.
C. She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
9 What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C. The families would get together for it. D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
10. What's the writer's attitude to Denmark's way of eating bread
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
11. What lesson can we learn from the passage
A. One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
D Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D
With the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cellphone user in the street Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).
Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die. A pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site. And a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events will finally lead to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.
Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and the result of it. "Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck," Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellphones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight.
12. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2
A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.
B. To call for people to go walking without phones.
C. To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.
D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this.
13. According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have
① Destructing the world.
② Affecting his social skills.
③ Damaging his neck and eyesight.
④ Getting separated from his friends and family.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
14. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing
A. Supportive. B. Confident. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
15 What will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing. B. Bad effects of phubbing.
C. Daily life of phubbers. D. Behaviours of phubbers.

As a stay-at-home mom for 26 years, KC just turned 50 and she wanted to seek a job. She was not just looking for something to do. Putting four kids through college had left her severe financial problems and getting a job was a must!
From childhood, all KC wanted to be was a mom. "That's all. I'm just a mom who stays at home with my children and creates a good and comfortable home for my family." She was not sure why that ambition(夙愿) was so strong for her. "My mom worked full-time, so I did not see her often. Maybe because I wished she had been at home with me," KC said. So after the birth of her first child, KC gave up her job and spent the next 26 years taking care of her children. But after such a long time, she wanted to find a job.
She realized the difficulty of the situation. When she sent a resume that had a 26-year gap, she knew it was lucky if she could get an interview, let alone an offer. Besides, her education was also one of the obstacles (障碍). The fact that she didn’t go to college was a disadvantage.
So after her own experiences, she advised others, "Get a college degree! You needn't change the thing about being a stay-at-home mom, but do something — no matter how small — to keep your skills up to date. There are so many choices these days that it will be easy to do while you're a full-time mom."
KC would still like to get a degree and then she discussed it with her husband. Her husband thought that she needed to go to a tutorial school. She agreed. KC wanted to keep up with current technology so she took classes to learn to use software.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1 :
In the class, she was the oldest student.

Is It a Healthy Interest
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the world’s greatest living explorer. His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation (极地环行) and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot. So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise is highly beneficial as it reduces both the pulse (脉搏) rate and the blood pressure so reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body. It also helps to keep the artery (动脉) walls more elastic (有弹性的).
But can you push yourself too much On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of “moderate” exercise a week，which is a little more than quick walking. “We need to be careful when we’re doing extreme sports,” says expert Len Almond. “Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body’s ability to recover. The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme.”
We all know how the Olympics began. The man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with news of a victory died as soon as he arrived，and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack. Further research was done by scientists. They studied cyclists (自行车运动员) on a race that covers 230km with a height change of 5,500m. They were interested in one particular enzyme (酶), high concentrations of which are found in those who have suffered a heart attack. The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race. The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports. But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes，you ask whether exercise is worth it. I advise you to consider your own condition. Personally, I agree with the saying: “Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.”
4. According to the passage, taking exercise can_______ .
A. speed up the heart rate B. increase stress on the heart
C. reduce the blood pressure D. keep the artery walls straight
5. What does expert Len Almond suggest
A. Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress.
B. Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body.
C. We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports.
D. There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress.
6. Why is the research on the cyclists mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To suggest a different area of research.
B. To support the activity of taking part in sports.
C. To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists.
D. To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks.
7. The author believes that exercise_______.
A. helps you have a regular life B. adds years to your life
C. should be done in moderation D. will be worth the effort
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds(嗑瓜子) so much. "I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds," he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so hard just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.
Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don't think it's right to criticize one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It's not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected with their culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition.
8. What did the writer become aware of
A. She had ever typed a report about sunflower seeds.
B. She ate various snacks while watching TV.
C. She has a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
D. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds.
9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C. The families would get together for it. D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
10. What's the writer's attitude to Denmark's way of eating bread
A. Approving. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
11. What lesson can we learn from the passage
A. One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone.
B. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
C. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
D. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文章。作者通过回忆童年时期的过年记忆，说明饮食没有好恶高低，每个民族都有自己独特的值得尊重的饮食习惯。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.”（我从来没有注意到这个习惯，但他一提起，我就突然意识到了。我意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是开始无意识地掰葵花籽。）可知, 作者以前没有注意到自己在看电视或打一份报告的时候有嗑瓜子的习惯, 现在注意到了, 故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with a fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds.”（在客厅里，已经摆上了一张大桌子，上面铺着别致的桌布，包着现成的饺子馅，还有装满糖果、水果和葵花籽的盘子。）以及第五段“I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.”（一定是那时我学会了怎么剥葵花籽。），可知新年的时候会有很多美食, 一些是供给祖先的, 还有一些是给邻居和小孩在晚宴前吃的, 其中含有瓜子, 作者因此学会了嗑瓜子。由此可见作者嗑瓜子和春节有关, 故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"I think it's a wonderful tradition."（我认为这是一个很好的传统。）可知, 作者认为丹麦人吃面包的方式是一个美妙的传统。由此可见作者接受这种吃法, 故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected with their culture."（他们认为这是一种美味，这与他们的文化有关。）可知, 丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美味的, 这和他们的文化有关。再结合前文讲作者喜欢嗑瓜子和春节文化有关可知, 本文主要告诉我们饮食习惯来源于某种文化, 故选B项。
【点睛】在解答观点态度题时，要注意把握住能够表示作者好恶的形容词及副词，通过相关词汇及短语，了解作者观点态度。比如本篇第三题，问到作者对待丹麦人吃面包的方式的看法，通过定位关键词Denmark's way of eating bread，可找到信息在最后一段“In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins their breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected with their culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition.”，句中有形容词wonderful（精彩的，好的），可知作者对待丹麦人的饮食是支持的。故选A项。

With the development of our society, cellphones have become a common part in our lives. Have you ever run into a careless cellphone user in the street Maybe they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers (低头族).
Recently a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cellphone while letting his patient die. A pretty woman takes a selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site. And a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events will finally lead to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.
Although the ending of the film sounds unrealistic, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and the result of it. "Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck," Guangming Daily quoted doctors' words. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. When getting together with family or friends, many people prefer to play their cellphones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cellphones in broad daylight.
12. Why does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragraph 2
A. To suggest phubbers will destroy the world.
B. To call for people to go walking without phones.
C. To tell people the bad effects of phubbing.
D. To advise students to create more cartoons like this.
13. According to the passage, what risks may a phubber have
① Destructing the world.
② Affecting his social skills.
③ Damaging his neck and eyesight.
④ Getting separated from his friends and family.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④
14. What's the author's attitude towards phubbing
A. Supportive. B. Confident. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.
15. What will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. Ways to avoid the risks of phubbing. B. Bad effects of phubbing.
C. Daily life of phubbers. D. Behaviours of phubbers.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要以当今社会盛行的“低头族”现象为切入点，说明过度使用手机带来的不良后果和危害。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段通过一部卡通片展示了人们因看手机而造成的悲剧,目的是告诉人们低头玩手机造成的不良影响；同时本段最后一句“A chain of similar events will finally lead to the destruction(毁灭) of the world.”（一连串类似的事件最终将导致破坏(毁灭)。），也能说明作者以此举例的目的是为了说明“低头族”的危害。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中"Always bending your head to check your cellphone could damage your neck"（总是低头看手机会伤到脖子）和"Also, staring at cellphones for a long time will damage your eyesight gradually"（此外，长时间盯着手机会逐渐损害你的视力）以及第四段第二句"Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family."（低头族还会损害你的社交技能，让你远离朋友和家人），可知低头族可能有的风险有：损害脖子和视力; 影响社交技能; 与家人、朋友分离。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,再根据最后一段第一句“It can also cost your life.”（它也会让你付出生命的代价。）可推断,作者对低头玩手机这一行为的态度是反对的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。本文属于社会热点类的议论文，论述“低头族”的危害后，还要针对这一现象提出解决应对的办法。文章讲述了低头族带来的一些坏影响, 所以接下来应该讲“如何避免低头玩手机的危险”。故选A项。
【点睛】在解答观点态度题时，要注意把握住能够表示作者好恶的形容词及副词，通过相关词汇及短语，了解作者观点态度。比如本篇第三题，问到对于“低头族”的看法，文章是通过一系列的单词和短语来表达作者的态度的，比如“damage your neck”，“damage your social skills”，“damage your eyesight”等表示负面后果的一些短语，所以能够很容易地判断作者的对于“低头族”是不支持的。故选C项。

Top Tips for Better Writing
There are many different types of writing, such as essays, letters and speeches. Whatever your reason is and whatever your style, there are some universal tips that will help you improve your writing:
Be clear about your purpose
The most basic question to ask yourself before you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations(建议). ___16___
Start with a plan
___17___The result is often disjointed writing with parts that don’t connect. Whatever you are writing, creating a clear plan is the first step to getting your message across quickly and in the most effective way.
Guide readers through what you write
Your task is to help readers understand your message quickly and precisely.___18___Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.
___19___
Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.
Write for the ear not for the eye
Once you’ve finished a draft of your speech, practice reading it out loud. ___20___Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech. You want to sound natural, no matter what the occasion is.
A. Write for readers, not yourself
B. Write for the aim, not for the words
C. It sounds robotic, and employers hate it.
D. Far too often people write without a plan.
E. You’ll hear anything that sounds awkward.
F. Whatever it is, keep your purpose in mind at all times to avoid going off topic.
G. To do this, it is necessary to show them clearly how the different parts relate to each other.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者就如何提高写作水平，提出了几点可行的建议。
【16题详解】
由“The most basic question to ask yourself before you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations”可知，开始写作前最基本的问题就是问问自己为何写作。写论文旨在传达信息、并得出结论。但如果你正在写一份商业报告，你可能想提出一些建议。所以以上列举了写作之前的目的是什么。故判断出小题1是对上述写作目的的总结。故F选项“不管是什么，时刻牢记你的写作目的，避免偏离主题。”符合句意。故F选项切题。
【17题详解】
由“The result is often disjointed writing with parts that don’t connect”可知，结果导致写作各部分不连贯。所以判断出小题2说的是原因，才导致了写作各部分不连贯。故D选项“人们写东西往往不拟提纲。”符合句意。故D选项切题。
【18题详解】
由“Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.”可知，每个句子、每个段落都应与上下文有关。你应使用互相联系的单词和短语来衔接。所以判断出小题3要总说向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接，然后再具体分说各个部分如何衔接和以什么来连接。故G选项“为此，有必要向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接”。故G选项切题。
【19题详解】
由“Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.”可知，写作的目的是要向他人传递思想与信息，写一词一句你都要牢记这一点。不断地问自己，你真正为谁写信息。所以本段主要说的就是写作是给读者看而不是自己。所以判断小题4是本段的标题。故A选项“写作是给读者看而不是自己”符合题意。故A选项切题。
【20题详解】
由“Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech”可知，进行修改，演讲就会更顺畅。所以判断出小题5说的是在大声朗读时发生了什么样的情况，才导致下文的进行修改。故E选项“你会听出不适合的地方”符合题意。故E选项切题。
第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

考查非谓语动词。句意：众所周知，花样滑冰始于19世纪中期，当时一个名叫杰克逊·海恩斯的美国人首次将舞蹈和滑冰结合在一起。name和an American之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词作定语。故填named。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：美国人不接受他的技术，所以他搬到了奥地利的维也纳，在那里他立即获得了成功。空处引导定语从句，先行词是表示地点的名词，关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，关系词应用where。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：双人和单人项目首次出现在1908年的伦敦夏季奥运会上。根据“at the London 1908 Summer Games”可知,句子应用一般过去时。故填appeared。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：双人比赛遵循同样的形式，只是一男一女一起表演。主语The pairs event是第三人称单数形式，再根据上文的performs可知，句子应用一般现在时，故填follows。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：双人比赛遵循同样的形式，只是一男一女一起表演。此处是with复合结构，perform和one male and one female之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用动词-ing形式作宾补。故填performing。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：但与双人不同的是，冰舞不包括高空升降和跳跃。根据语境可知，冰上舞蹈不包括托举和跳跃，这是和双人滑的不同之处，unlike表示不同于，符合句意，故填unlike。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：冰上舞蹈比赛现在由两部分组成。分析句子结构可知，所填的词作主语，所以用名词competition，意为“比赛,竞赛”。故填competition。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：由9名裁判员组成的小组对每一项花样滑冰表演的质量进行评分，但只使用了9分中的7分。根据语境可知，会有9个裁判给出分数，但只有7个裁判的分数会被使用。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：他们还会得到每次表现的“总体”分数。此处score表示“分数”,是可数名词,表示泛指，且overall的发音以元音音素开头，故用an。
【45题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：总分最高的人或队为优胜者。根据the及语境可知，此处应用最高级，表示“总分最高的人或团队是获胜者”。故填highest。

47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
As a stay-at-home mom for 26 years, KC just turned 50 and she wanted to seek a job. She was not just looking for something to do. Putting four kids through college had left her severe financial problems and getting a job was a must!
From childhood, all KC wanted to be was a mom. "That's all. I'm just a mom who stays at home with my children and creates a good and comfortable home for my family." She was not sure why that ambition(夙愿) was so strong for her. "My mom worked full-time, so I did not see her often. Maybe because I wished she had been at home with me," KC said. So after the birth of her first child, KC gave up her job and spent the next 26 years taking care of her children. But after such a long time, she wanted to find a job.
She realized the difficulty of the situation. When she sent a resume that had a 26-year gap, she knew it was lucky if she could get an interview, let alone an offer. Besides, her education was also one of the obstacles (障碍). The fact that she didn’t go to college was a disadvantage.
So after her own experiences, she advised others, "Get a college degree! You needn't change the thing about being a stay-at-home mom, but do something — no matter how small — to keep your skills up to date. There are so many choices these days that it will be easy to do while you're a full-time mom."
KC would still like to get a degree and then she discussed it with her husband. Her husband thought that she needed to go to a tutorial school. She agreed. KC wanted to keep up with current technology so she took classes to learn to use software.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1 :
In the class, she was the oldest student.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
In the class, she was the oldest student. But she worked hard and almost devoted all her time to study. KC often read related books till midnight, because she wanted to keep up with the times. Besides, she bought a computer to learn some common office software. At the same time, she made up her mind to prepare for the interview in order to get an ideal job.
Paragraph 2:
From her own experiences, she realized the importance of education. She thought everyone shouldn't give up studying. She wanted the young to make full use of time and chances to go to college. By learning, they could get better chances to realize their own dreams.
【解析】
