I went to the beach nearby for some quality time with myself. After a 4 week, all I wanted was a book and a good snack. It was a lovely time watching kids 2 playing in the water, building sandcastles and sharing 3 with their families.After a few hours, as I was leaving , I noticed a little girl playing by herself on the beach. She had built a little 4with a moat(护城河) around it and was now trying to fill the canal with5 .
Unfortunately, there was no container around to carry water. She was playing 6 , unlike most of the other kids. She would go to the waves, 7 her hands and then walk back to her little castle. 8 not much of the water was making it to the moat. But she kept trying and was still smiling and hopeful. I so wished I could help her out, but I didn’t have a container with me.As I was standing there watching her, feeling 9 , I had an aha moment. I realized that I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly 10 in, took it out, and handed it to her.
Confused at first, she smiled but shook her head 11 . I reassured her that it would make getting the water much faster. She finally took it from my hands after I insisted. Not wanting her to feel 12 , I walked off the beach right away, glancing back just once to see her running over to the sea merrily, equipped with a 13 in hand. In the larger scheme of things, it was a 14 gesture. But in my heart, I also know that when she notices that someone needs help in her life, maybe, she would recall this little random act of kindness by a stranger. And maybe that would make her more likely to jump in and help create a little 15 world around her.

We often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has, the feeling and identity of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual make a scientific foundation for the soul.
Despite the constant change in the links between our brain cells, we remain the same personality. This is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. Science journalist Michael Lemonick told the story of Lonni Sue, who suffered brain damage and was left unable to recall her past or to form new memories. Lemonick thought that Lonni Sue, when she lost her memories, lost her self. But once he got to know her, as well as people who knew her before and after her injury, Lemonick discovered that herself had not been destroyed. She was still cheerful in a way that made people around her feel better, and she was still creative and playful. So, despite memory loss, we still have the essence of our personality. Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.
Besides one’s personality being present despite memory loss, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually depends less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are.
Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very similar to each other in DNA, our view on reality is very different from individual to individual.
The soul of a person is challenging to prove scientifically. However, with each person’s personality being unique, the behavioral quality of thinking of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and perception might not be tested, but they are very difficult to deny.
1. The author tells the story of Lonni Sue to show ________.
A. the stability of people’s personality
B. strange behaviors of mentally ill patients
C. the chance for the mentally ill to form new memories
D the changes of the people who suffered brain damage
2. What does the underlined word “essence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Past memory. B. Changeable belief.
C Optimistic attitude. D. Important nature.
3. What can we learn from the passage
A. Our body, mind and emotions tell who we are.
B. The soul of a person changes as he or she grows old.
C. Scientific research has already proved what makes up our soul.
D. Our soul depends on our personality, consciousness and experience.
4. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Beyond identity
B. Beyond memory
C. Beyond age
D. Beyond nature
【答案】ADDA
Scientists have come up with a new way to measure ocean trash(垃圾) and the numbers are even worse than thought. In 2010, eight million tons of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from coastal countries far more than the trash floating on the surface of the ocean. That ' s bad news. The even worse news is that the tonnage may increase by as much as ten times in the next decade unless the world finds a better way to improve how trash is collected and managed.
The new study identifies the major sources of plastic trash and names the top 20 countries producing the greatest amount of ocean trash. The United States is 20th. The rest of the list includes l1 Asian countries, Turkey, five African countries, and Brazil.
The size of the difference is huge --- 20 to 2,000 times more than the amount of floating trash. To make the figure eight million tons understandable, Jenna Jambeck, who led the study, compares it to lining up five grocery bags of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe. "And by 2025, those five grocery bags of plastic are going to be ten bags," she says. That would be 155 million tons a year if present trash management practices remain the same."
Ocean plastic has turned up everywhere. It has been found in the deep sea and buried in Arctic ice with terrible consequences for some 700 species of wildlife in the ocean.
The study has also created a new mystery. Because what flows into the ocean is so large, scientists now have to figure out where else it collects and in what amounts. "But what we need to do now is close the gap." says Richard Thompson, a scientist from the U.K.
5. What is the most serious problem concerning ocean trash
A. There is no way to get rid of it,.
B. Eight million tons of trash goes into the ocean.
C. A lot more trash may be put into the ocean in the future.
D. The way to measure ocean trash hasn 't been found.
6. Jenna Jambeck explains the seriousness of ocean trash mainly by ______.
A. showing the causes B. describing a process
C. making comparisons D. making a classification
7 The underlined part “the gap” in the last paragraph refers to the difference between ______.
A. what is harmless and what is dangerous
B. what is on the surface and what is in the deep sea
C. what is found and what can be recycled
D. what is from America and what is from other countries
8. Which of the following can best describe the author 's tone in writing the text
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeless. C. Critical. D. Concerned.

It was an unusually hot day. Exhausted after football practice, I headed for the bus stop to wait for Bus 112 which would take me home. I was beginning to drift off to sleep when I saw the bus arriving. The sun was in my eyes and that was probably the reason why I got onto Bus 113
I was glad to get a seat. Within minutes, I was sting against the window, fast asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was dark outside. I was the only passenger left on the bus. I could not recognize the part of town we were passing through. I pressed the bell and the bus stopped. I planned to hop across the road and catch a bus going the opposite direction. However, I found myself on a quiet street with a row of shops that were all closed. I kicked myself for not asking the driver for directions.
As I was wondering what to do, a motorcycle came down the road. The rider looked at me as he passed and then stopped a short distance away. I went to him and asked him how to get back to the City Square. He smiled and nodded. He patted the back seat and said that he would send me home. Without a second thought, I climbed up behind the rider. He turned the motorcycle around and headed in the direction I wanted. We travelled for about 15 minutes and the surroundings still looked unfamiliar to me. The rider made a few turns and I knew I was hopelessly lost. I asked him where we were going, He did not answer but increased his speed. Alarm bells started to ring in my head.
I tapped the man on the shoulder and told him to stop. He leaned forward and went at high speed now. Then he slowed down to turn into a dark and narrow road that led into an oil palm plantation. I had had enough.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

I jumped off the vehicle and fell onto the round.
I got off the taxi and rushed into my house.
【答案】I jumped of vehicle and fell onto the ground. The man turned around and rode towards me. I swung my schoolbag at him and he lost his balance and fell off his motorcycle. Without looking back, I just ran and ran. When I dared to stop, I found that I was on a main road. Cars were passing by, I was relieved to see a taxi and waved desperately, praying that it would stop. It did. I got in and gave the driver my house address, shaking uncontrollably.
I got off the taxi and rushed into my house. I threw myself into my mum's arms and broke into tears. When my family learned what had happened, they were horrified. My parents told me that I should have just looked for a public phone and called home when I was lost. I knew I had been foolish to believe a stranger. It was a frightening experience which I hoped would never happen to me again. It's better to be safe than sorry.
