Four Inventions That Changed the World
The course of human evolution has been filled with inventions. The following inventions changed the world in one way or another.
Match
Many of us wonder what life was like before matches. We can thank a British pharmacist and his dirty mixing stick. In 1820s, John Walker noticed a dried lump on the end of a stick while he was stirring a mix of chemicals. When he tried to scrape (刮掉) it off, flames appeared. The initial matches were made of cardboard but soon the matches came in a box equipped with a piece of sandpaper for striking.
Penicillin
Penicillin was discovered in 1928 when a young bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming, was tidying up his lab. After having been on vacation, he returned to work to find that a dish of Staphylococcus bacteria had been left uncovered, and he noticed that mould (霉菌) on the culture had killed many of the bacteria. His further research found that it could kill other bacteria.
Microwave Oven
Of all the sci-fi kitchen appliances, the microwave oven really relieves the load on housewives. It was discovered in the 1940s. When Percy Spencer, an engineer, was working on a magnetron (磁控管), he noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket had started to melt due to the microwaves. Spencer found that indeed, when food was placed in the box with the microwave energy, it cooked quickly.
Plastic
The first plastic was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. His initial quest was to invent a ready replacement for shellac (虫胶), an expensive product got from lac beetles. Baekeland combined formaldehyde (甲醛) with a waste product of coal, and heated the mixture. Rather than a shellac-like material, he created a substance that didn’t melt under heat and stress.
21. Who invented matches
A. John Walker. B. Alexander Fleming.
C. Percy Spencer. D. Leo Hendrik Baekeland.
22. What had Leo Hendrik Baekeland originally intended to invent
A. A shellac-like material. B. A product from lac beetles.
C. A replacement for shellac. D. A waste product of coal.
23. What do the four inventions have in common
A. They were the results of joint efforts. B. They were the accidental discoveries.
C. They were the fruits of years of research. D. They were unaccepted when coming out.
B
It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!
24. What can we know about the author
A. He obtained posters and photos from a star team.
B. He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child.
C. He was not much of an experienced hockey player.
D. His love for hockey was influenced by a star team.

A. He was so speechless with astonishment. B. He was looked down upon by the owner.
C. He was scared by the owner’s appearance. D. He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts.

C
Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from
It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.
Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell.
To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned.
Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned.
It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University.
28. Which of the following has the fishy smell
A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine.
29. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species
A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers.
C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen.
30. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell
A. Objective.
B. Negative.
C. Acceptable.
D. Unclear.
31. How is the text organized
A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion.
C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion.
D
Atomic shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to turn to artificial intelligence (AI) for help to build a periodic table of these shapes, hoping it will assist in finding yet-unknown atomic shapes.
Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify atomic shapes known as Fano varieties which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller components. Just as chemists arranged element s in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to reveal new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various properties will help in understanding them.
The team has given each atomic shape a sequence of numbers based on its features such as the number of holes it has or the extent to which it bends around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to identify it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an accuracy of 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to follow the periodic table, so that when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be general patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.
Graham Nib lo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by AI and create proofs of these ideas. “AI has definitely got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new backing that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”
The team hopes to improve the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes.
32. What is the purpose of building a periodic table of shapes
A. To gain deeper insights into the atomic shapes.
B. To create an AI to predict the unknown shapes.
C. To break down atomic shapes into smaller parts.
D. To arrange chemical elements in the periodic table.
33. What can the bar code of each atomic shape tell us
A. Its holes. B. Its bends.
C. Its atomic weight. D. Its properties.
34. What does the underlined word “backing” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Design. B. Help. C. Duty. D. Threat.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Thanks to AI, new atomic shapes have been discovered.
B. Mathematicians turn to AI to create more atomic shapes.
C. AI helps build a relationship between chemistry and maths.
D. A periodic table of shapes can be built with the help of AI.

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。
An old and fragile woman approached a very busy road intersection. She stepped slowly forwards. She paused at the sidewalk’s edge, grasping a heavy bucket filled with fresh red apples. She aimed to cross the street.
The way to the intersection before her seemed like a tough journey. The traffic lights changed regularly, and the flow of cars seemed to be non-stop for the old woman. She knew she had to cross the street to reach her destination, a small grocery store on the other side, where she sold her apples to make ends meet.
As she slowly made her way to the crosswalk, she held the handle of the bucket. A kind-hearted driver in the first car, recognizing her struggle, stopped well before the sidewalk, allowing her to cross safely. Grateful for this act of kindness, the old woman nodded and offered the driver a slight smile as she inched forward.
A second car, in the next road, also came to a stop. Its driver also witnessed the old woman’s slow progress. The kindness of strangers warmed her heart, and with their help, she moved another step closer to her destination.
However, the third road was a different story. As the old woman moved carefully further into the road, a speeding car approached, its engine making loud sound like a beast. Panic flowed through the old lady as she realized the approaching danger. The driver of the third car had not noticed her until the very last moment.
With a jolt (颠簸) of terror, the old woman’s holding on the bucket weakened, and the bucket slipped from her weak grasp. The bucket fell to the ground, releasing its goods of apples, which scattered (散开) in all directions. The sound of the crashing bucket and rolling apples echoed through the busy city traffic.
In the emergent time, the driver of the speeding car stepped on the brake to a stop just inches from the old woman. The drivers’ heart pounded in their chest as they realized how close it had come to a tragedy.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shaken but unharmed, the old woman stood frozen, her eyes wide open with fear.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eventually, with all the apples collected, the three drivers helped the old lady cross the road.

【原文】M: People all over the world enjoy sports. Sports help people keep healthy and happy, helping them to live longer. Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life. They use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them.
Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is two hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with dignity.

Four Inventions That Changed the World
The course of human evolution has been filled with inventions. The following inventions changed the world in one way or another.
Match
Many of us wonder what life was like before matches. We can thank a British pharmacist and his dirty mixing stick. In 1820s, John Walker noticed a dried lump on the end of a stick while he was stirring a mix of chemicals. When he tried to scrape (刮掉) it off, flames appeared. The initial matches were made of cardboard but soon the matches came in a box equipped with a piece of sandpaper for striking.
Penicillin
Penicillin was discovered in 1928 when a young bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming, was tidying up his lab. After having been on vacation, he returned to work to find that a dish of Staphylococcus bacteria had been left uncovered, and he noticed that mould (霉菌) on the culture had killed many of the bacteria. His further research found that it could kill other bacteria.
Microwave Oven
Of all the sci-fi kitchen appliances, the microwave oven really relieves the load on housewives. It was discovered in the 1940s. When Percy Spencer, an engineer, was working on a magnetron (磁控管), he noticed that a chocolate bar in his pocket had started to melt due to the microwaves. Spencer found that indeed, when food was placed in the box with the microwave energy, it cooked quickly.
Plastic
The first plastic was invented in 1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. His initial quest was to invent a ready replacement for shellac (虫胶), an expensive product got from lac beetles. Baekeland combined formaldehyde (甲醛) with a waste product of coal, and heated the mixture. Rather than a shellac-like material, he created a substance that didn’t melt under heat and stress.
21. Who invented matches
A. John Walker. B. Alexander Fleming.
C. Percy Spencer. D. Leo Hendrik Baekeland.
22. What had Leo Hendrik Baekeland originally intended to invent
A. A shellac-like material. B. A product from lac beetles.
C. A replacement for shellac. D. A waste product of coal.
23. What do the four inventions have in common
A. They were the results of joint efforts. B. They were the accidental discoveries.
C. They were the fruits of years of research. D. They were unaccepted when coming out.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B

It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room.
There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed.
Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side.
I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile.
I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest.
The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away!

Fresh fish should have a mild smell. Strong fishy smells are the first signs to go bad. How do the fishy smells come from
It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. In that time, bacteria that grow naturally in fish start to consume a substance called trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)in fish. These bacteria change TMAO into trimethylamine (TMA), the substance responsible for the fishy smells. Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.
Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. This happens through the oxidation(氧化)of fat. Fish are an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. When these fats are exposed to oxygen, they oxidize and break down into the substance that you can smell.
To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. But today, fish are often flown across the globe. To keep smell-producing bacteria at bay, the fish must be frozen or kept at the low temperature possible as soon as they are caught and cleaned.
Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. While freezing slows bacterial growth, it does not stop fat oxidation. This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned.
It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. “What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture,” said Carl A. Batt, a professor of food science at Cornell University.
28. Which of the following has the fishy smell
A. Fish fat. B. TMAO. C. Cadaverine. D. Lysine.
29. What is the best way to reduce the fishy smell of fat fish species
A. Drying them in the air. B. Storing them in closed containers.
C. Carefully cleaning them. D. Exposing them to rich oxygen.
30. What is Carl A. Batt’s attitude to the fishy smell
A. Objective.
B. Negative.
C. Acceptable.
D. Unclear.
31. How is the text organized
A. Topic—Example—Conclusion. B. Topic—Comparison—Opinion.
C. Question——Cause——Solution. D. Question—Effect—Opinion.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C

【28题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Bacteria in fish can also change lysine(赖氨酸)into cadaverine(尸胺), a substance that’s associated with breaking down the fish once they are caught and giving off fishy smell.( 鱼类中的细菌还可以将赖氨酸转化为尸胺,这种物质与鱼类被捕获后分解并散发出腥味有关。)”可知,有鱼腥味的是尸胺。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“This reaction will occur as long as oxygen is present. Fatty fish are usually not frozen because, despite the cold temperature, they’re going to oxidize pretty fast unless they are stored in a low oxygen container. That’s why those species are often canned. (只要存在氧气,就会发生这种反应。脂肪鱼通常不会冷冻,因为尽管温度很低,但除非储存在低氧容器中,否则它们会很快氧化。这就是为什么这些物种经常被罐装的原因)”可知,减少肥鱼鱼腥味的最好方法是将它们储存在封闭的容器中。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“What you might consider the fishy smell may be a delicacy in another culture (或许你认为的这种鱼腥味在另一种文化中可能是一种美味)”可知,Carl A. Batt对鱼腥味的态度上客观的。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“How do the fishy smells come from (鱼腥味是怎么来的?)”提出问题,第二段讲到“It can be several days from when the fish are caught to when they reach the supermarket. (从鱼被捕获到到达超市可能需要几天时间。)”以及第三段讲到“Chemical reactions can also lead to fishy smells. (化学反应也会产生腥味)”是鱼腥味产生的原因,第四段讲到 “To slow down the fishy smell, what is beyond question is that the less time between when the fish are caught and when they reach the kitchen, the better. (为了减缓鱼的腥味,毫无疑问的是,从鱼被捕获到到达厨房的时间越短越好。)”,第五段讲到“Controlling fat oxidation can function as well, especially for fattier fish species. (控制脂肪氧化也可以发挥作用,尤其是对脂肪含量较高的鱼类。)”和第六段讲到“It’s also important to remember that smell is not always an indicator of safety, especially in processed fish products. (同样重要的是要记住,气味并不总是安全的指标,尤其是在加工鱼类产品中。)”是解决方案。可知,这篇文章的组织结构是:问题——原因——解决方案。故选C。

Atomic shapes are so simple that they can’t be broken down any further. Mathematicians are trying to turn to artificial intelligence (AI) for help to build a periodic table of these shapes, hoping it will assist in finding yet-unknown atomic shapes.
Tom Coates at Imperial College London and his colleagues are working to classify atomic shapes known as Fano varieties, which are so simple that they can’t be broken down into smaller components. Just as chemists arranged element s in the periodic table by their atomic weight and group to reveal new insights, the researchers hope that organizing these atomic shapes by their various properties will help in understanding them.
The team has given each atomic shape a sequence of numbers based on its features such as the number of holes it has or the extent to which it bends around itself. This acts as a bar code (条形码) to identify it. Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an accuracy of 98 percent.
The team member Alexander Kasprzyk at the University of Nottingham, UK, says that the AI has let the team organize atomic shapes in a way that begins to follow the periodic table, so that when you read from left to right, or up and down, there seem to be general patterns in the geometry (几何) of the shapes.
Graham Nib lo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by AI and create proofs of these ideas. “AI has definitely got unbelievable abilities. But in the same way that telescopes (望远镜) don’t put astronomers out of work, AI doesn’t put mathematicians out of work,” he says. “It just gives us new backing that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach.”
The team hopes to improve the model to the point where missing spaces in its periodic table could point to the existence of unknown shapes.
32. What is the purpose of building a periodic table of shapes
A. To gain deeper insights into the atomic shapes.
B. To create an AI to predict the unknown shapes.
C. To break down atomic shapes into smaller parts.
D. To arrange chemical elements in the periodic table.
33. What can the bar code of each atomic shape tell us
A. Its holes. B. Its bends.
C. Its atomic weight. D. Its properties.
34. What does the underlined word “backing” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Design. B. Help. C. Duty. D. Threat.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Thanks to AI, new atomic shapes have been discovered.
B. Mathematicians turn to AI to create more atomic shapes.
C. AI helps build a relationship between chemistry and maths.
D. A periodic table of shapes can be built with the help of AI.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. D

【33题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Coates and his colleagues have now created an AI that can predict certain properties of these shapes from their bar code numbers alone, with an accuracy of 98 percent. (科茨和他的同事现在创造了一种人工智能,仅从条形码数字就可以预测这些形状的某些特性,准确率为98%)”可知,每个原子形状的条形码能告诉我们它的属性。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Graham Nib lo at the University of Southampton, UK, stresses that humans will still need to understand the results provided by AI and create proofs of these ideas(英国南安普顿大学的Graham Nib-lo强调,人类仍然需要理解人工智能提供的结果,并为这些想法提供证据)”以及划线单词后文“that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach (这使我们能够探索数学景观中遥不可及的部分)”可知,人工智能在人类探索数学景观中能起到帮助的作用,第五段中带下划线的单词的句子 It just gives us new backing that allows us to explore parts of the mathematical landscape that are out of reach的意思是:它只是给了我们新的支持,让我们能够探索数学景观中遥不可及的部分。因此划线单词的意思与“帮助”接近。故选B。
【35题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道中国国际进口博览会在全球发挥了重要作用。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意;一位官员在周日举行的第六届中国国际进口博览会(CIIE)上表示:“中国将始终为全球发展提供重要机遇,中国将继续致力于推动经济全球化朝着更加开放、平衡、共赢的方向发展。”短语“remain committed to”中to为介词,故其后接名词或者动名词,作宾语。故填driving。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:他在上海开幕的中国国际进口博览会上发表讲话时提到,在全球经济复苏乏力的情况下,各国应共同谋求发展。此处修饰动词seek,应该用副词jointly“共同地”,作状语。故填jointly。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这位官员指出:“中国国际进口博览会于2018年首次举办,是国际采购、投资促进和人与人之间交流的平台,有助于鼓励新的发展模式和全球经济增长。”逻辑主语The CIIE和动词hold之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故此处应该用该动词的过去分词形式,表示被动。故填held。
【59题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知,该句是非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面的一句话,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:他还表示,希望每年的世博会能够成为中国进入新发展模式的门户,以中国的新发展为世界带来新机遇。根据该词前的动词expressed可知,此处应该用该词的名词形式,作宾语。故填expectation。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:他还表示,到2022年,进博会将发挥好平台作用,使中国市场成为世界共享的主要市场,让全世界都能从合作共赢中受益。根据从句中的时间状语“by 2022”可知,该从句应该用过去完成时,表示“在过去某一时间之前已经完成或结束的动作”,也可用过去完成进行时,强调“动作从过去的过去开始一直延续到过去某个时间点”。故填had played或had been playing。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。此处泛指“一个主要市场”,应该用不定冠词,major以辅音音素开头,应用a。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。固定搭配benefit from“从……中受益”。故填from。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这位官员还强调,北京将努力扩大开放,创造更多的市场机会,进一步为世界经济创造巨大的增长。名词efforts后常接动词不定式,作后置定语。故填to advance。
【65题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意同上。根据“greater market opportunities”可知,此处应该用副词比较级further,表程度,意为“进一步地”。故填further。

【答案】范文
Hello, everyone! I’m honored to deliver my speech here and the topic of my speech is “Cherish Food and Stop Wasting”.
Our school canteen has seen increasingly serious food waste recently. Some students throw away the food that they can’t finish, and some even leave their food uneaten just because they don’t like the tastes. What mainly accounts for the negative phenomenon is that they aren’t aware of the value of food and the difficulty in producing it. Food is very important to us. We can plan our meals carefully and avoid taking more food than we can consume.
That’s all, thank you!

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。
An old and fragile woman approached a very busy road intersection. She stepped slowly forwards. She paused at the sidewalk’s edge, grasping a heavy bucket filled with fresh red apples. She aimed to cross the street.
The way to the intersection before her seemed like a tough journey. The traffic lights changed regularly, and the flow of cars seemed to be non-stop for the old woman. She knew she had to cross the street to reach her destination, a small grocery store on the other side, where she sold her apples to make ends meet.
As she slowly made her way to the crosswalk, she held the handle of the bucket. A kind-hearted driver in the first car, recognizing her struggle, stopped well before the sidewalk, allowing her to cross safely. Grateful for this act of kindness, the old woman nodded and offered the driver a slight smile as she inched forward.
A second car, in the next road, also came to a stop. Its driver also witnessed the old woman’s slow progress. The kindness of strangers warmed her heart, and with their help, she moved another step closer to her destination.
However, the third road was a different story. As the old woman moved carefully further into the road, a speeding car approached, its engine making loud sound like a beast. Panic flowed through the old lady as she realized the approaching danger. The driver of the third car had not noticed her until the very last moment.
With a jolt (颠簸) of terror, the old woman’s holding on the bucket weakened, and the bucket slipped from her weak grasp. The bucket fell to the ground, releasing its goods of apples, which scattered (散开) in all directions. The sound of the crashing bucket and rolling apples echoed through the busy city traffic.
In the emergent time, the driver of the speeding car stepped on the brake to a stop just inches from the old woman. The drivers’ heart pounded in their chest as they realized how close it had come to a tragedy.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shaken but unharmed, the old woman stood frozen, her eyes wide open with fear.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eventually, with all the apples collected, the three drivers helped the old lady cross the road.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Shaken but unharmed, the old woman stood frozen, her eyes wide open with fear. The first two drivers, having witnessed the near miss, rushed out of their cars to help her. And the third driver joined them as well. In the honking horns and the growing traffic jam, the three drivers knelt beside the old woman, their concern evident on their faces. They began to gather the scattered apples, their hands moving swiftly to get back each one.
Eventually, with all the apples collected, the three drivers helped the old lady cross the road. With a supportive arm on either side, the old woman made her way to the safety of the sidewalk. Tear s welled up in her grateful eyes as she looked at the strangers who had come to her aid. With a trembling hand, she extended the apples towards the three drivers. They accepted the gift with genuine gratitude, recognizing that her gesture was her way of expressing her thanks. After ensuring that the old woman was safely across the street, the three drivers returned to their cars, and the traffic was back to track.
