Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the book shelves and settle down with a new book, or use travelling libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Beach Library (Albena, Bulgaria)
Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6,000 books in 15 languages, so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while soaking up the sun’s rays.
Bishan Library (Singapore)
Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises (格架), standing out for its modern art, is meant to resemble a modern glass tree-house. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet air y corner for reading throughout the building. Children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from disturbing those concentrating in the loft y seats above.
The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)
To fight low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a travelling library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region’s nomadic (游牧的) people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.
Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)
A stunning combination of being both cutting-edge and sustainable, this building with a green roof, was made from recycled materials and designed to look like an eucalyptus tree(桉树). It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.

In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.
24. What can we learn about Furci from the first two paragraphs
A. She enjoyed collecting mushrooms.
B. She was fond of cooking mushrooms.
C. She worried about the situation of fungi.
D. She had a habit of writing field guidebooks.

A. By writing free instructions on plants.
B By starting a non-profit ecotourism company.
C. By raising awareness of the importance of fungi.
D. By passing laws to ban over-harvesting mushrooms.
27. Which of the following best describes Furci’s work
A. Ground-breaking. B. Debatable.
C. Romantic. D. Unmatched.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A

“I’m dying of boredom!”complained Yelena, who performed in Chekhov’s 1897 play UncleVanya. “I don’t know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or creativity
That’s the conclusion of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control group, and their ideas were often more creative. In the second study, subjects who took an “associative thought” word test came up with more answers when they’d been required to watch a dull screensaver (屏保).
Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. “Boredom becomes a seeking state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking and get engaged.” says Sandi Mann, a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. Kierkegaard, a philosopher, described jokingly, “The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.” However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus. “The smartphone might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that can come from staring down the boredom. Noodling on your phone is like eating junk food.” she says.
So here’s an idea: instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, shutting down your Internet connection for a while will enforce a higher level of productivity.
28. Why did Yelena make a complaint
A. She was dying soon. B. She forgot her smartphone.
C. She hated her role in the play. D. She was feeling too bored.
29. According to the study, who is more likely to be creative
A. Someone waiting at a bus stop. B. Someone lost in phone games.
C. Someone busy with the work. D. Someone reading a novel.
30. Why does psychologist Mann feel worried
A. Because people get used to slow moments.
B. Because people attempt to get rid of boredom.
C. Because people become addicted to junk food.
D. Because people are dependent on mobile devices.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Every State Counts B. Watch Out for Boredom
C. Gateway to Creativity D. All Creativity Comes from Boredom
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了研究发现无聊可能带来创造力。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““I don’t know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing (“我不知道该做什么！”当然，如果叶莲娜今天还在，她会拿出智能手机找一些有趣的东西，比如抖音。消磨时间很容易。然而，无聊是完全无用的吗)”推知，叶莲娜抱怨是因为她很无聊，不知道该干什么。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control group, and their ideas were often more creative.(在一项实验中，研究人员要求一组受试者做一些无聊的事情，比如从电话簿上抄下数字，然后进行创造性思维测试，比如设计一对杯子的用途。结果，无聊的受试者比不无聊的对照组想出了更多的想法，而且他们的想法往往更有创意)”可知，做无聊事情的受试者在之后的任务中更有创造力。结合第三段中““We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus.(曼恩说:“我们试图用移动设备来打发生活中无聊的每一刻。”她声称自己经常在公交车上完成一些最好的思考)”可推知，一个在车站等车的人更有可能具有创造力。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus.(然而，让曼恩担心的是，如今我们并不享受这些缓慢的时刻。相反，我们抵制它们。曼恩说:“我们试图用移动设备来打发生活中无聊的每一刻。”她声称自己经常在公交车上完成一些最好的思考)”可知，曼恩感到担忧是因为人们试图用一切方法来摆脱无聊。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中“However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or creativity (然而，无聊是完全无用的吗？如果这是一种有意义的体验——一种引导我们进入更深层次思考或创造力状态的体验呢)”和第三段中“Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation.(无聊可能会带来创造力，因为不安的大脑渴望刺激)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究发现无聊可能带来创造力。因此C项“创造力之门”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。
D
How do we come to make sense of our daily lives How can we gain a strong grasp of who we really are and how we fit in the world And how can we naturally connect to important ones in our lives “Life stories are one of the prime tools we have for understanding ourselves and the world around us.” says Robyn Fivush, a professor at Emory University.
Humans are natural storytellers. We use stories to understand our present, draw insights from our past, and anticipate the future. Thus, storytelling is basic to our lives. As a form of rich engagement between family members, family storytelling should be valued more. Sharing bedtime stories and talks after school, or walking through an event that left a young child crying—these are all opportunities for parents and children to become closer through warmth, understanding and support. Fivush and her colleagues have underscored the value of storytelling in parenting. The ways parents support children’s emotions and help them retell more vivid, richly detailed stories have lasting impacts on children’s cognitive(认知的)and emotional development.
Children and teenagers learn how to talk about their lives from family stories. An early example is learning how to present a detailed story with a beginning, a middle, and an end—to give it a clear structure. Further, they learn what is appropriate to talk about or avoid and what feelings are appropriate to share over dinner or out with others.
When growing up, we use our life stories to build complex and stable views of ourselves. Through stories about the traditions maintained over the years, we make connections between past successes and failures, our relationships, and the activities that hold meaning to us to develop our new identities. These identities reflect our roles as family members, community members, co-workers and so on, thus helping us have a more complete view of ourselves.
Having a lasting impact on ourselves and those around us, life stories are filled with meaning, insight, and value. By the way, what’s the story that stands out to you from a recent meal or chat
32. Why does the writer ask three questions in the beginning
A. To explain a general idea.
B. To give background information.
C. To introduce an argument.
D. To report the finding of a study.
33. What does the underlined word “underscored” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Cast doubt on. B. Attached importance to.
C. Shown concern for. D. Thought poorly of.
34. How can life stories help form a complete view of ourselves according to the writer
A. By maintaining social ties.
B. By rebuilding our identities.
C. By connecting our past and future.
D. By learning from family members.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A review on a storybook.
B. An advice letter for social life.
C. A guidebook to parenting.
D. An essay on the value of storytelling.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D
【解析】

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“When growing up, we use our life stories to build complex and stable views of ourselves. Through stories about the traditions maintained over the years, we make connections between past successes and failures, our relationships, and the activities that hold meaning to us to develop our new identities. These identities reflect our roles as family members, community members, co-workers and so on, thus helping us have a more complete view of ourselves(在成长过程中，我们用自己的生活故事来构建复杂而稳定的自我观念。通过讲述多年来保持的传统故事，我们在过去的成败、人际关系以及对我们有意义的活动中建立联系，以发展我们的新身份。这些身份反映了我们作为家庭成员、社区成员、同事等的角色，从而帮助我们对自己有一个更完整的认识)”可知，通过讲述生活故事，我们可以建立起对自己的复杂而稳定的看法。通过讲述多年来保持的传统，我们可以将过去的成功和失败、我们的关系以及对我们有意义的活动联系起来，从而发展出我们的新身份。这些身份反映了我们作为家庭成员、社区成员、同事等的角色，从而帮助我们更全面地看待自己，故选B项。

64. a 65. to guard##guarding
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秦朝的另一个奇迹：秦直道。
【56题详解】
考査不可数名词。句意：“条条大路通咸阳”这句话可能并不广为人知，但这是历史上的真理。前面有定冠词the，所以用名词truth作表语，为不可数名词，故填truth。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：公元前221年，中国第一位皇帝秦始皇统一中国后，他开始修建以咸阳为中心的国家级公路。根据句意可知，此处表示“作为”，后跟名词，所以用介词as，故填as。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，几条长路建成，全长约750公里，穿过平原、山脉、草原、沙漠，最终通往都城咸阳。cover和它所修饰的词Several long roads之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，故填covering。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：和长城一样，这些被称为“秦直道”的道路被认为是秦朝的另一个奇迹。call和它所修饰的词these roads之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。
【60题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：一般来说，道路宽度为20 ~ 60米，最宽的路段可以同时行驶50辆汽车。根据句意可知此处表示“最宽的”，所以用形容词最高级作定语，故填widest。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：坚固的表面被塑造成乌龟的形状，露出地面，以避免积水。根据时间状语at that time可知描述过去的事情，所以用一般过去时态，shape和主语之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，主语为不可数名词surface，所以be动词为was，故填was shaped。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意：另一个令人惊奇的事实是，道路上很少长草，许多地方直到今天仍然状况良好。修饰动词，所以用副词，故填rarely。
【63题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追湖到2200多年前，比罗马道路早200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词为The mysterious ancient roads，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以用which引导，故填which。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这条神秘的古路的历史可以追湖到2200多年前，比罗马道路星200多年，是道路建设史上的一座天然博物馆。此处泛指一个，所以用不定冠词，natural是以辅音音素开头的，故填a。
【65题详解】
考查动词不定式或现在分词。句意：历史学家是这样评价它的：如果把长城比作防御的盾牌，那么秦直道就是保卫秦朝稳定整荣的武器。guard和它所修饰的词之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语，也可以看作是weapon后跟动词不定式作后置定语，故填to guard或guarding。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else. Whenever we had time, we’d sit together and talk about dogs. “You’re so silly, Jake,” Josie would say. “Bulldogs (斗牛犬) are scary.” “Hah. Golden retrievers (金毛猎犬) are scary,” I’d say. We had this ongoing argument about what our ideal dog would be. But it made no difference—any dog would do, as long as it had a tail to wag and a friendly face.
One summer night, as we sat together beside the window, Josie saw something. “What’s that ” she said, pointing to a dark shadow on our driveway. The moon was up and everything looked either black or milky. At first all I saw was darkness. Then the shadow moved and I heard the sound of metal. Then the shadow flowed out onto the silvery driveway. With a little fright, we found ourselves stepping down to the front door. There in our yard stood a dog—a big, black dog with long, shaggy (蓬松的) hair.
Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. “Here, boy!” I said. And the dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, and then a step back, not sure whether to trust us. When close enough, it had a doggy smell that always made me think of dirt and grass and piles of leaves. “Don’t say ‘Here, boy’,” said Josie. “She’s a female.” Pulling back and looking, I said, “I wonder what her name is.” I felt for her collar while she sat patiently. I found no tags, but just a chain with a small old bell on it.
“I bet she’s hungry,” said Josie. “I can feel her ribs.” I ran my hand through her fur. The dog was so skinny that you could feel every bone, and her coat was twisted and full of dirt. If she belonged to someone, they weren’t taking good care of her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“What can we give her ” Josie asked me.

The dog did something completely unexpected.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文：
“What can we give her ” Josie asked me. “Milk! I’ll get her some milk.” I went into the kitchen to fill one plate with milk and some raw eggs. The dog ate everything up, but instantly she finished, she ran into the shadows. “Don’t go!” Josie called loudly. But the dog was gone. “She’ll be back when hungry again,” I said. “Nobody is feeding her.” The following evening, as soon as we set the plate down, she appeared as if from nowhere. We named her ‘Shadow’ and gave her food again, but this time for some reason she wouldn’t eat it.
The dog did something completely unexpected. She grabbed the plate in her mouth and dragged it away into the bushes. When running there, we couldn’t find her. This went on for several days. However, one night, Shadow didn’t come. Josie and I tried to figure out what had happened. Another two days passed but we got no answer. We couldn’t wait to comb through the bushes until we found something unexpected. At our feet lay a litter of four puppies, squeaking and climbing around on top of each other. Our plates were there, and so was Shadow, cold and motionless. She must have saved all her food for her puppies.

Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the book shelves and settle down with a new book, or use travelling libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Beach Library (Albena, Bulgaria)
Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6,000 books in 15 languages, so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while soaking up the sun’s rays.
Bishan Library (Singapore)
Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises (格架), standing out for its modern art, is meant to resemble a modern glass tree-house. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet air y corner for reading throughout the building. Children’s room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from disturbing those concentrating in the loft y seats above.
The Camel Library Service (North Eastern Province, Kenya)
To fight low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a travelling library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region’s nomadic (游牧的) people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.
Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)
A stunning combination of being both cutting-edge and sustainable, this building with a green roof, was made from recycled materials and designed to look like an eucalyptus tree(桉树). It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.

In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.
24. What can we learn about Furci from the first two paragraphs
A. She enjoyed collecting mushrooms.
B. She was fond of cooking mushrooms.
C. She worried about the situation of fungi.
D. She had a habit of writing field guidebooks.
25. What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A. The life on earth without fungi.
B. The importance of fungi on earth.
C. The relations between trees and fungi.
D. The practical uses of fungi in the future.
26. How did Furci protect the ecosystem
A. By writing free instructions on plants.
B. By starting a non-profit ecotourism company.
C. By raising awareness of the importance of fungi.
D. By passing laws to ban over-harvesting mushrooms.
27. Which of the following best describes Furci’s work
A. Ground-breaking. B. Debatable.
C. Romantic. D. Unmatched.
C
“I’m dying of boredom!”complained Yelena, who performed in Chekhov’s 1897 play UncleVanya. “I don’t know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or creativity
That’s the conclusion of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control group, and their ideas were often more creative. In the second study, subjects who took an “associative thought” word test came up with more answers when they’d been required to watch a dull screensaver (屏保).
Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. “Boredom becomes a seeking state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking and get engaged.” says Sandi Mann, a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. Kierkegaard, a philosopher, described jokingly, “The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.” However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus. “The smartphone might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that can come from staring down the boredom. Noodling on your phone is like eating junk food.” she says.
So here’s an idea: instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, shutting down your Internet connection for a while will enforce a higher level of productivity.
28. Why did Yelena make a complaint
A. She was dying soon. B. She forgot her smartphone.
C. She hated her role in the play. D. She was feeling too bored.
29. According to the study, who is more likely to be creative
A. Someone waiting at a bus stop. B. Someone lost in phone games.
C. Someone busy with the work. D. Someone reading a novel.
30. Why does psychologist Mann feel worried
A. Because people get used to slow moments.
B. Because people attempt to get rid of boredom.
C. Because people become addicted to junk food.
D. Because people are dependent on mobile devices.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Every State Counts B. Watch Out for Boredom
C. Gateway to Creativity D. All Creativity Comes from Boredom
D
How do we come to make sense of our daily lives How can we gain a strong grasp of who we really are and how we fit in the world And how can we naturally connect to important ones in our lives “Life stories are one of the prime tools we have for understanding ourselves and the world around us.” says Robyn Fivush, a professor at Emory University.
Humans are natural storytellers. We use stories to understand our present, draw insights from our past, and anticipate the future. Thus, storytelling is basic to our lives. As a form of rich engagement between family members, family storytelling should be valued more. Sharing bedtime stories and talks after school, or walking through an event that left a young child crying—these are all opportunities for parents and children to become closer through warmth, understanding and support. Fivush and her colleagues have underscored the value of storytelling in parenting. The ways parents support children’s emotions and help them retell more vivid, richly detailed stories have lasting impacts on children’s cognitive(认知的)and emotional development.
Children and teenagers learn how to talk about their lives from family stories. An early example is learning how to present a detailed story with a beginning, a middle, and an end—to give it a clear structure. Further, they learn what is appropriate to talk about or avoid and what feelings are appropriate to share over dinner or out with others.
When growing up, we use our life stories to build complex and stable views of ourselves. Through stories about the traditions maintained over the years, we make connections between past successes and failures, our relationships, and the activities that hold meaning to us to develop our new identities. These identities reflect our roles as family members, community members, co-workers and so on, thus helping us have a more complete view of ourselves.
Having a lasting impact on ourselves and those around us, life stories are filled with meaning, insight, and value. By the way, what’s the story that stands out to you from a recent meal or chat
32. Why does the writer ask three questions in the beginning
A. To explain a general idea.
B To give background information.
C. To introduce an argument.
D. To report the finding of a study.
33. What does the underlined word “underscored” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Cast doubt on. B. Attached importance to.
C. Shown concern for. D. Thought poorly of.
34. How can life stories help form a complete view of ourselves according to the writer
A. By maintaining social ties.
B. By rebuilding our identities.
C. By connecting our past and future.
D. By learning from family members.
35. Where is the text most probably taken from
A. A review on a storybook.
B. An advice letter for social life.
C. A guidebook to parenting.
D. An essay on the value of storytelling.

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。
Josie and I wanted a dog more than anything else. Whenever we had time, we’d sit together and talk about dogs. “You’re so silly, Jake,” Josie would say. “Bulldogs (斗牛犬) are scary.” “Hah. Golden retrievers (金毛猎犬) are scary,” I’d say. We had this ongoing argument about what our ideal dog would be. But it made no difference—any dog would do, as long as it had a tail to wag and a friendly face.
One summer night, as we sat together beside the window, Josie saw something. “What’s that ” she said, pointing to a dark shadow on our driveway. The moon was up and everything looked either black or milky. At first all I saw was darkness. Then the shadow moved and I heard the sound of metal. Then the shadow flowed out onto the silvery driveway. With a little fright, we found ourselves stepping down to the front door. There in our yard stood a dog—a big, black dog with long, shaggy (蓬松的) hair.
Josie made a little kissing noise and held out her hand. “Here, boy!” I said. And the dog came to us slowly, taking a few steps forward, and then a step back, not sure whether to trust us. When close enough, it had a doggy smell that always made me think of dirt and grass and piles of leaves. “Don’t say ‘Here, boy’,” said Josie. “She’s a female.” Pulling back and looking, I said, “I wonder what her name is.” I felt for her collar while she sat patiently. I found no tags, but just a chain with a small old bell on it.
“I bet she’s hungry,” said Josie. “I can feel her ribs.” I ran my hand through her fur. The dog was so skinny that you could feel every bone, and her coat was twisted and full of dirt. If she belonged to someone, they weren’t taking good care of her.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“What can we give her ” Josie asked me.
