We all scream for ice cream!
Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own version of ice cream that’s often not called ice cream. Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!
● Raspado, Mexico
Raspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.
● Kakigori, Japan
It may be made of ice but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.
● Gelato, Italy
Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring—chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.
● Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.
21. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common
A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.
C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.
22. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people
A. Raspado. B. Gelato. C. Dondurma. D. Kakigori.
23. What is special about Dondurma
A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.
C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.
B
I had always been fascinated by the use of natural treatments in healthcare. So, when I came across a local clinic that offered courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) several months ago, I immediately signed up for a one-year course.
On the first day of class I was looking forward to what I was going to learn. As the instructor explained the procedure, I felt a little disturbed by the thought of needles being stuck into my skin. However, I was determined to overcome my fear. Acupuncturist uses hair-thin needles to find specific areas on the body to treat pain or tension the body may be experiencing, known to help with depression, insomnia (失眠) and anxiety. The instructor told us that an acupuncturist might request patients to provide more information about their health, how to treat them, and what points are most appropriate for them. We were taught how to examine a patient’s tongue and pulse to gather evidence of any imbalances in the body. He showed us how to adjust the needle’s depth, as different organs required different depths. The needles were only a few millimetre thick and made of stainless steel, so they were solid and easy to switch out.
In class, we also learned about the phenomenon of acupuncture anesthesia (麻醉) where patients could undergo surgery without conventional anesthesia using only acupuncture. As we progressed through the course, we learned about herbs and their uses. We also discussed the effects of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs on the body and how they could lead to severe anxiety and abuse.
TCM dates back to ancient China, and it is a widespread practice today. It is fascinating to learn about the symbolism behind each organ and how they relate to different emotions and imbalances in the body. After a year of wrestling with the course, I have now graduated and put everything in place. Without doubt, it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life.
24. What made the author decide to sign up for a TCM course
A. His worries about health problems. B. His interest in natural treatments.
C. An accidental visit to a local clinic. D. The increasing knowledge of TCM.
25. What did the instructor mainly teach in the first class
A. The development of acupuncture. B. The way to perform acupuncture.
C. The requirement for an acupuncture. D. The various tools used in acupuncture.
26. How does the author feel about acupuncture after graduating from the course
A. Easy. B. Complicated. C. Advanced. D. Worthy.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An encounter with TCM B. A modern change in TCM
C. A course to improve my fitness D. A special acupuncture treatment

You’re in the shower. You grab the showerhead. What do you do You sing.
Have you ever wondered about this phenomenon Some of us wouldn’t sing in public if someone paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.
First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.
Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). Another neat thing is that when you’re singing, you really can’t think about your problems—more stress relief.
But the best thing about singing in the shower The acoustics(音响效果)! You can never ask for a better sound system than a bathroom. Because bathroom tiles (墙砖) don’t absorb sound, your voice bounces back and forth around the room before fading away, which makes your voice hang in the air longer. And because the shower is a small space, it boosts your voice, making your singing sound more powerful. So you will sound better than you actually are, which is a confidence boost.
We don’t sing in the shower simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in our heads. It turns out we do it for many reasons: stress relief, happiness, great acoustics, or maybe just because we like to hear our own voices. Whatever the reason, keep it up. It’s good for you. And if you’ve never tried it, pick a song, grab the showerhead and put on your own private concert.
28. Why do many people feel comfortable singing in the shower
A. The acoustics are perfect in public places. B. Shower time is relaxing and private.
C. Singing boosts stress levels. D. Showering improves vocal abilities.
29. What scientific effect contributes to the urge to sing in the shower
A. Released dopamine due to relaxation. B. Increased exposure to blues music.
C. Enhanced oxygen absorption from water. D. Strengthened lung capacity.
30. Why does singing in the shower help in relieving stress
A. The bathroom’s small size encourages relaxation.
B. Breathing while singing improves circulation.
C. Singing removes the need for deep breaths.
D. Tile walls absorb sound and stress.
31. In which part of a website can we probably read the text
A. Science. B. Technology. C. Culture. D. People.
D
Imagine an iPad that’s more than just an iPad — with a surface that can change shapes, potentially allowing you to draw 3D designs and even hold your partner’s hand from an ocean away. That’s the vision of a team of engineers from the University of Colorado Boulder. In a new study, they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shape-shifting display that fits on a card table. The device is made from a 10-by-10 grid (网格) of soft robotic “muscles” that can sense outside pressure and pop up to create patterns. It may also deliver something even rarer: the sense of touch in a digital age.
The group’s innovation builds off a class of soft robots pioneered by a team led by Christoph Keplinger, formerly an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at CU Boulder. The original model isn’t ready for the market yet, but the researchers envision that, one day, similar technologies could lead to sensory gloves for virtual gaming or a smart conveyor belt that can sort different items like selecting apples from bananas.
The project has its origins in the search for a different kind of technology: artificial organs. In 2017, researchers led by Mark Rentschler, professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, were developing what they called sTISSUE — soft organs that behave and feel like real human body parts but are made entirely out of silicone-like materials. “ You could use these artificial organs to help develop medical devices or surgical robotic tools for much less cost than using real animal tissue,” said Rentschler, a co-author of the new study.
In developing that technology, however, the team landed on the idea of a tabletop display. If you pass an electric current through the actuators (执行器), the surface will change shape and jump up. The actuators also include soft, magnetic sensors that can detect the pressure when you push them, which allows for some fun activities.
Other research teams have developed similar smart tablets, but the CU Boulder display is softer, takes up a lot less room and is much shifter: each of its robotic muscles can activate as much as 50 times per second. The group is also working to design a glove that allows you to “feel” objects in virtual reality.
32. What is a big feature of the new display
A. The flexibility of its shape. B. Its quick response to instructions.
C. Its good sense of the environment. D. The great strength of its robotic muscles.
33. What is a possible application of similar technologies
A. The system to pick high-quality fruits. B. Robotic operation in medical surgeries.
C. Touch sensory function in virtual reality. D. Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions.
34. Why is the development of artificial organs mentioned
A. To introduce sTISSUE to the public. B. To stress the advantage of soft materials.
C. To highlight their impact on medical research. D. To explain the inspiration for the new display.
35. What does the underlined word “shifter” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Clearer. B. Faster. C. Smoother. D. Lighter.

67. 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。
When my sister, Dona, and I were little kids, my parents both joined the army. They stayed far away from our town and hardly returned home. My grandpa took on the big responsibility of taking care of us. Still, without our parents by our side, Dona and I sometimes felt lonely and sad, especially one winter.
One morning in that winter when Dona and I were sitting in our bedroom, dull and quiet, Grandpa said, “My dear, how about trying skating for fun ” Our faces immediately lit up and we answered together, “Great, we surely like it, Grandpa!”
He smiled and quickly set about building us a skating rink (溜冰场) in our yard. The process of building a skating rink was not easy. First, Grandpa laid out long wooden boards around the yard. Next, he made the base of the rink flat. Grandpa then began spraying the water, lightly at first, until the first layer of ice was established. He would then put some water onto the ice each night. And thus, the ice became thicker and thicker.
In the darkness of the night, from the kitchen window Dona and I watched Grandpa with great expectations. His back and shoulders rounded to protect him from the freezing wind. He stood alone, busying himself creating a perfect skating rink for us. The only light was from the moon and stars.
One night, Grandpa suddenly pressed his waist and the look on his face showed he was painful. Quite concerned, Dona and I rushed out and asked, “Grandpa! What’s wrong ” “My waist is painful. Don’t worry! I’ll be fine just after a little rest,” he smiled. Dona and I offered to help create the rink. But he said it was too cold outside at night and that building the rink needs much experience and lots of skills. Then, we gave up the idea of offering him a hand, but demanded he build the rink a few days later. Seeing we were determined, he walked into the room with us and had warm tea. Before long, Dona and I were tired and went to bed.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When we fell asleep, Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Amazed, we hurriedly put on the skating equipment and rushed out._

【解析】
【原文】W: Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to talk about language learning. When I was 7 years old, my parents signed me up for English classes. I cried every time I attended that class and I didn’t learn it well. At the age of 14, I felt like I wanted to explore the world. And I understood that I needed to equip myself with as many language skills as possible. Therefore, I started learning English properly on my own. At 17, I found an exchange program in New Zealand and participated. Those 6 months opened my eyes to the entire world and I became eagerer to learn languages. In my high school graduation year, I studied German on my own, mainly because I wanted to study at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences in Austria. Eventually I entered the university and my German improved. After university, I decided to work in Spain. So I picked up Spanish and fell in love with this language. Over the years, I have never stopped learning new languages As for learning new languages, you’d better first figure out why you should learn the language. Next, set specific plans. Then, start learning and try to find your own learning methods. Finally, improve your language skills using effective tricks.

We all scream for ice cream!
Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own version of ice cream that’s often not called ice cream. Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!
● Raspado, Mexico
Raspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.
● Kakigori, Japan
It may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.
● Gelato, Italy
Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring—chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.
● Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.
21. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common
A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.
C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.
22. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people
A. Raspado. B. Gelato. C. Dondurma. D. Kakigori.
23. What is special about Dondurma
A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.
C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界各地的“冰淇淋”，它们有各自独特的特点和制作方式。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.(你不会发现墨西哥人用锥型蛋卷装Raspados，因为Raspados只装在杯子里。)”和第三段“Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.(Kakigori几乎都是装在碗里吃的，经常会发现甜品店提供最后的配料，最常见的是红豆沙或新鲜水果。)”可知，Raspados和Kakigori都不会装在锥型蛋卷中。故选D。

I had always been fascinated by the use of natural treatments in healthcare. So, when I came across a local clinic that offered courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) several months ago, I immediately signed up for a one-year course.
On the first day of class, I was looking forward to what I was going to learn. As the instructor explained the procedure, I felt a little disturbed by the thought of needles being stuck into my skin. However, I was determined to overcome my fear. Acupuncturist uses hair-thin needles to find specific areas on the body to treat pain or tension the body may be experiencing, known to help with depression, insomnia (失眠) and anxiety. The instructor told us that an acupuncturist might request patients to provide more information about their health, how to treat them, and what points are most appropriate for them. We were taught how to examine a patient’s tongue and pulse to gather evidence of any imbalances in the body. He showed us how to adjust the needle’s depth, as different organs required different depths. The needles were only a few millimetre thick and made of stainless steel, so they were solid and easy to switch out.
In class, we also learned about the phenomenon of acupuncture anesthesia (麻醉) where patients could undergo surgery without conventional anesthesia using only acupuncture. As we progressed through the course, we learned about herbs and their uses. We also discussed the effects of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs on the body and how they could lead to severe anxiety and abuse.
TCM dates back to ancient China, and it is a widespread practice today. It is fascinating to learn about the symbolism behind each organ and how they relate to different emotions and imbalances in the body. After a year of wrestling with the course, I have now graduated and put everything in place. Without doubt, it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life.
24. What made the author decide to sign up for a TCM course
A. His worries about health problems. B. His interest in natural treatments.
C. An accidental visit to a local clinic. D. The increasing knowledge of TCM.
25. What did the instructor mainly teach in the first class
A. The development of acupuncture. B. The way to perform acupuncture.
C. The requirement for an acupuncture. D. The various tools used in acupuncture.
26. How does the author feel about acupuncture after graduating from the course
A. Easy. B. Complicated. C. Advanced. D. Worthy.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. An encounter with TCM B. A modern change in TCM
C. A course to improve my fitness D. A special acupuncture treatment
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A

You’re in the shower. You grab the showerhead. What do you do You sing.
Have you ever wondered about this phenomenon Some of us wouldn’t sing in public if someone paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.
First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.
Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). Another neat thing is that when you’re singing, you really can’t think about your problems—more stress relief.
But the best thing about singing in the shower The acoustics(音响效果)! You can never ask for a better sound system than a bathroom. Because bathroom tiles (墙砖) don’t absorb sound, your voice bounces back and forth around the room before fading away, which makes your voice hang in the air longer. And because the shower is a small space, it boosts your voice, making your singing sound more powerful. So you will sound better than you actually are, which is a confidence boost.
We don’t sing in the shower simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in our heads. It turns out we do it for many reasons: stress relief, happiness, great acoustics, or maybe just because we like to hear our own voices. Whatever the reason, keep it up. It’s good for you. And if you’ve never tried it, pick a song, grab the showerhead and put on your own private concert.
28. Why do many people feel comfortable singing in the shower
A. The acoustics are perfect in public places. B. Shower time is relaxing and private.
C. Singing boosts stress levels. D. Showering improves vocal abilities.
29. What scientific effect contributes to the urge to sing in the shower
A. Released dopamine due to relaxation. B. Increased exposure to blues music.
C. Enhanced oxygen absorption from water. D. Strengthened lung capacity.
30. Why does singing in the shower help in relieving stress
A. The bathroom’s small size encourages relaxation.
B. Breathing while singing improves circulation.
C. Singing removes the need for deep breaths.
D. Tile walls absorb sound and stress.
31. In which part of a website can we probably read the text
A. Science. B. Technology. C. Culture. D. People.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了洗澡时唱歌的现象和背后的科学解释。研究表明洗澡时唱歌可以释放压力、提高自信和改善心情。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.(首先，让我们来看看为什么我们在淋浴时足够放松，可以放声高歌。想想看：当你悲伤的时候，你是不会唱歌的(当然，除非你唱的是蓝调)。对很多人来说，淋浴时间是他们一天中唯一独处的时间。你在一个温暖、小而安全的环境里。你很舒服，可以做你自己！当你放松的时候，你的大脑会释放多巴胺，它可以让你的创造力得到额外的启动。)”可知，沐浴时间是一天中独处的时光，是私密的，在这样一个温暖、小而安全的环境里，让你感到放松，从而释放多巴胺，让你舒服， 因此沐浴时间唱歌感到舒服是因为这个时候是令人放松并私密的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.(当你放松的时候，你的大脑会释放多巴胺，它可以让你的创造力得到额外的启动。)”可知，当人们放松时，大脑会释放多巴胺，这可以给你的创造力带来额外的动力。因此，导致在淋浴时有唱歌的冲动的科学效应是放松会释放的多巴胺，多巴胺会激发创造力。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). (温暖的水流过你的身体，现在你很放松，感觉很好。事实证明，唱歌会让你感觉更好。因为你投入的呼吸，唱歌让更多的氧气进入血液。这会让你的血液循环更好，从而改善你的身体和情绪。因为你必须深呼吸才能大声唱出一首歌，所以你得到了和冥想一样的放松和头脑清醒的好处。)”可知，洗澡的时候因为投入的呼吸，会有更多的氧气进入血液，这让我们的血液循环更好，从而得到放松和清醒的头脑，从而有助于缓解压力。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容特别是第二段的“ Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.(但我们可以在洗澡时唱歌，不会尴尬。信不信由你，这背后是有科学解释的。)”可知，文章主要从科学角度解释了人们在洗澡时唱歌的现象，并解释了背后的科学，由此可知，这篇文章可以从网站的“科学”部分找到。故选A。

Imagine an iPad that’s more than just an iPad — with a surface that can change shapes, potentially allowing you to draw 3D designs and even hold your partner’s hand from an ocean away. That’s the vision of a team of engineers from the University of Colorado Boulder. In a new study, they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shape-shifting display that fits on a card table. The device is made from a 10-by-10 grid (网格) of soft robotic “muscles” that can sense outside pressure and pop up to create patterns. It may also deliver something even rarer: the sense of touch in a digital age.
The group’s innovation builds off a class of soft robots pioneered by a team led by Christoph Keplinger, formerly an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at CU Boulder. The original model isn’t ready for the market yet, but the researchers envision that, one day, similar technologies could lead to sensory gloves for virtual gaming or a smart conveyor belt that can sort different items like selecting apples from bananas.
The project has its origins in the search for a different kind of technology: artificial organs. In 2017, researchers led by Mark Rentschler, professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering, were developing what they called sTISSUE — soft organs that behave and feel like real human body parts but are made entirely out of silicone-like materials. “ You could use these artificial organs to help develop medical devices or surgical robotic tools for much less cost than using real animal tissue,” said Rentschler, a co-author of the new study.
In developing that technology, however, the team landed on the idea of a tabletop display. If you pass an electric current through the actuators (执行器), the surface will change shape and jump up. The actuators also include soft, magnetic sensors that can detect the pressure when you push them, which allows for some fun activities.
Other research teams have developed similar smart tablets, but the CU Boulder display is softer, takes up a lot less room and is much shifter: each of its robotic muscles can activate as much as 50 times per second. The group is also working to design a glove that allows you to “feel” objects in virtual reality.
32. What is a big feature of the new display
A. The flexibility of its shape. B. Its quick response to instructions.
C. Its good sense of the environment. D. The great strength of its robotic muscles.
33. What is a possible application of similar technologies
A. The system to pick high-quality fruits. B. Robotic operation in medical surgeries.
C. Touch sensory function in virtual reality. D. Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions.
34. Why is the development of artificial organs mentioned
A. To introduce sTISSUE to the public. B. To stress the advantage of soft materials.
C. To highlight their impact on medical research. D. To explain the inspiration for the new display.
35. What does the underlined word “shifter” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Clearer. B. Faster. C. Smoother. D. Lighter.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】

67. 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。
When my sister, Dona, and I were little kids, my parents both joined the army. They stayed far away from our town and hardly returned home. My grandpa took on the big responsibility of taking care of us. Still, without our parents by our side, Dona and I sometimes felt lonely and sad, especially one winter.
One morning in that winter when Dona and I were sitting in our bedroom, dull and quiet, Grandpa said, “My dear, how about trying skating for fun ” Our faces immediately lit up and we answered together, “Great, we surely like it, Grandpa!”
He smiled and quickly set about building us a skating rink (溜冰场) in our yard. The process of building a skating rink was not easy. First, Grandpa laid out long wooden boards around the yard. Next, he made the base of the rink flat. Grandpa then began spraying the water, lightly at first, until the first layer of ice was established. He would then put some water onto the ice each night. And thus, the ice became thicker and thicker.
In the darkness of the night, from the kitchen window Dona and I watched Grandpa with great expectations. His back and shoulders rounded to protect him from the freezing wind. He stood alone, busying himself creating a perfect skating rink for us. The only light was from the moon and stars.
One night, Grandpa suddenly pressed his waist and the look on his face showed he was painful. Quite concerned, Dona and I rushed out and asked, “Grandpa! What’s wrong ” “My waist is painful. Don’t worry! I’ll be fine just after a little rest,” he smiled. Dona and I offered to help create the rink. But he said it was too cold outside at night and that building the rink needs much experience and lots of skills. Then, we gave up the idea of offering him a hand, but demanded he build the rink a few days later. Seeing we were determined, he walked into the room with us and had warm tea. Before long, Dona and I were tired and went to bed.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When we fell asleep Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When we fell asleep, Grandpa quietly walked out into the yard. He kept spraying water onto the ice in the yard. It was so cold outside that Grandpa trembled all over. But he went on building the rink for us. He hoped to complete the work as soon as possible. That night he worked for a long time although his waist was very painful. The next morning when we woke up, we found skating equipment placed before our bed. Grandpa called out, “Kids, come out! The rink was ready!”
Amazed, we hurriedly put on the skating equipment and rushed out. Seeing the perfect rink, we were so excited and could no longer wait to skate on it, while Grandpa stood aside, smiling. We skated in the cold for what felt like hours laughing and dancing, creating memories that would last a lifetime. Grandpa was proud of what he had accomplished and happy to see us having so much fun. Now we always remember the special gift, which Grandpa built with great love.
