Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature.His life was full of tragedies,but he had a great influence on the 19th-century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day.
The early life of Edgar Allan Poe was quite unhappy.Born in 1809,Poe was not yet three years old when his parents died.Adopted by a wealthy family,he got into trouble at school.He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point,but he dropped out without graduating.His misery (不幸) continued to his adult life.Later,because of a failed marriage,he suffered from mental illness.He was so upset about real life that he turned to writing.Expressing himself in an unreal and imaginary world was his only comfort.
The tragedies in Poe’s life influenced the tone,style and contents of his writing.His stories usually include death,which help build his reputation as a master of “dark” literature.In his The Tell-Tale Heart,the main character goes crazy and kills his roommate while in The Black Cat,the main character kills his cat in a fit of madness.
Poe died at the age of 40 in 1849.His life is short,but his influence is very great.Poe is credited with (被誉为) creating crime fiction,and many say he contributed greatly to the appearance of science fiction.Fascinated (着迷) by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time,he wrote about imaginary societies in the future.Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle,the author of Sherlock Holmes,regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction.Jules Verne,a French writer who helped popularize science fiction,said Poe’s work had a direct influence on the stories he wrote.

There’s a lot we know about eggs:they are great for breakfast and you can cook them in different ways.One topic of debate,however,is why brown chicken eggs usually cost more than white ones.According to Sharman Hickman,the director of Community Outreach and Education for Hickman’s Family Farms,genetics (基因学) not nutrition determines the eggshell’s colour and thus the egg’s price.
The chicken breed (品种) and their genetics decide whether or not hens have pigment (色素) genes,which coat the egg and result in a coloured shell during the egg-laying process.Although all eggs start out white in colour,shell colour can range from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds,Hickman adds.Breeds such as the Leghorn chicken lays white eggs,while the Orpington lays brown eggs and the Ameraucana produces blue eggs.
Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen,making it a popular choice for farmers.Hens that produce coloured eggshells,however,tend to be larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer.Since those breeds cost more to feed,their eggs are more expensive.
Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently,it’s impossible to know their nutritional make-up from the shell colour alone,according to Malina Linkas Malkani,media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.“Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” she says.“But it’s important for people to know that the colour of the eggshell has nothing to do with the egg’s nutrient content or shell thickness.”
What does affect the nutrient content is the specific diet the hen is on,according to Malkani.For example,hens fed with a diet with omega-3s and vitamin D produce eggs that are higher in those specific nutrients.No matter what your preference is,don’t judge an egg by its shell colour.
28.Which of the following is one of the arguments about eggs
A.Which eggs are difficult to break.
B.How eggs can be cooked healthily.
C.Why coloured eggs are more expensive.
D.What the best time to eat eggs should be.
29.What makes the eggshell colour different
A.The hen’s breed.
B.The size of the hen.
C.The colour of the eggs inside.
D.The length of the laying process.
30.Why do farmers love the Leghorn breed more
A.They lay brown eggs.
B.Their eggs are larger.
C.Their eggs sell better.
D.They are productive.
31.What can we learn from Malkani’s words in the last paragraph
A.It takes efforts to test eggs’ nutrition.
B.It’s meaningless to study an egg’s colour.
C.Personal preference matters a lot in choice-making.
D.An egg’s nutrition is closely related to the hen’s feed.

Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime,if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house.
The new law,Family Protection and Development Promotion Act,aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others’ health living under the same roof,was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22,2019.It came into force on August 20.
According to the centre for research and knowledge management for tobacco control,at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University,there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke.An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly(不知不觉地) become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home.Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer.Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced,76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine(尿液),with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding(超过) permissible levels.
Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking,and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members.
According to the new law,anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers.Once convicted(证明有罪的),the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person’s family.
32.What does the underlined word “hazardous” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Risky. B.Beneficial.
C.Influential. D.Dangerous.
33.How does the author organise paragraph 3
A.By listing figures. B.By giving examples.
C.By comparing the differences. D.By explaining the reasons.
34.We can learn from the passage that 　　　.
A.smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime
B.passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer
C.76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine
D.smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally
35.According to the new law,　　　.
A.anybody must report to the officials once they are affected
B.officials will take legal action against all the people concerned
C.smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime
D.the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all non-smokers

As a parent,you want your kids to do their best in school.You already know plenty of sleep,healthy food and some school supplies are necessary.However,what else do children need to be successful without a professional homework helper 　36　
Keep it ordered.
　37　 Hence,have your kids keep ahead of their homework with an organized system.For example,they could use a scheduling application like Asana or Trello to manage projects with arranged dates,or they might stick to an old-fashioned pen and a paper planner.See what works best for them and go from there.
Break projects down.
Many children get stressed out when they have big assignments due.　38　 Often people get frightened by the difficulty of tasks without understanding that the large task is actually just made up of smaller ones.Another solution is to use a project proposal to help keep them on track with homework and projects.
Avoid delaying tasks.
One mistake students usually make is putting off unpleasant work and deliberately looking for distraction(消遣).Teach your children that the workload isn’t going to get smaller if they wait longer.　39　
　40　
There are a growing number of online references and homework resources.Not only will your children be better prepared for class the next day,but they’ll also learn a valuable lesson about how to research and find information online.From them you can also find ideas for educational activities that you can do with your children.
A.Get help online.
B.Focus on homework.
C.Online applications are becoming more and more popular.
D.Here are some tips from educators and professionals for helping your children with it — both at home and school campus.
E.Organization is the key to success,because it can maximize efficiency.
F.Teach them to break larger projects into smaller pieces.
G.Instead,it will only become larger and seem more difficult to get started.

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。
Mail lay scattered across the kitchen table.I couldn’t put off sorting through it any longer.I checked the envelopes,putting aside the ones addressed to my husband.
It had been over three years since Bob had died.To friends and family it looked like I had moved past the worst of my sorrow.I took care of my house,socialised and kept up with community.On the outside everything appeared to be normal.But inside I worried I would never get better,never be myself again.They say sorrow has no set time limit,but I was so tired of feeling empty and hopeless.My sorrow was sharp and fresh as ever.It was like a wall of pressure in my chest,pressing my heart.
I picked up a piece of Bob’s mail and held it out to tear in half,but stopped myself from cutting up the envelope.The letter was from an organisation that funded a Haitian orphanage called My Father’s House.Its founder,Carol Hawthorne,had given a presentation at our church.Bob and I had donated,and Bob ended up on the mailing list to receive the newsletter (通讯) with updates on the children.
I hadn’t read one since Bob died.But just three months before,in January,the country had been hit by a terrible earthquake.In my depressed state,it hadn’t even occurred to me to wonder whether the orphanage had survived.I opened the newsletter and was surprised to find out that My Father’s House was still standing.Of course now it was more crowded than ever.At the bottom of the page was an announcement about an upcoming trip to visit the orphanage in person.“I should go.” The thought wouldn’t leave me.I contacted Carol Hawthorne.“What would I do if I go ” I asked.“Build houses ”
“The Haitian people there are eager to work and they know what they’re doing,” said Carol.“What they need are raw materials,and we provide them.We also visit with the children.We go to clinics and schools,pass out supplies.You’ll be very busy,I promise!” I reserved a seat but didn’t mention it to any of my friends.Just a few weeks later,I was at the airport with seven strangers,waiting to board a plane to Haiti.Even after take-off I wasn’t really sure of what I was doing.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
In Haiti we were met by Pastor Ronald Lefranc,the director of My Father’s House. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can.But before we buy tickets,we like to know whether the play is good or bad.When a new play opens,we usually surf the Internet to get information about it.
Last week a new play opened at the theater.The brief introduction on the poster said it was very exciting,so we decided to go on Saturday night.My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late.By the time we drove to the theater,the first act had already begun.We were sorry we missed part of the play,because the rest of it was very funny.The poster had been right.It was very good.
After the play was over,we met a friend we hadn’t seen for a long time on the way to the restaurant.He wanted to go to a nightclub.It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing,but I finally agreed.By the time we got home,it was about two o’clock in the morning.I’m not accustomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired.
When I was younger,I didn’t have the money to go out for an evening like this.Now that I can afford it,I don’t have the energy to really enjoy it.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过相关研究数据说明,在家中吸烟会危及家人的身体健康,甚至还可能破坏吸烟者和不吸烟的家庭成员之间的关系。根据新的法律,在泰国,现在在自己家里吸烟可能被视为犯罪。

第二节
In Haiti we were met by Pastor Ronald Lefranc,the director of My Father’s House.A crowd of children—52 in all—rushed up to greet us.I couldn’t understand the words of the song they sang in Creole,but I didn’t need to with the smiles on their faces.Each child planted a big kiss on my cheek.
