Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织) who turn their love for crafting (精心制作) into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch (针法) they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support
organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items in support of the important things.
Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was encouraged to have the group knit hats for infant (婴儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with
holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the
emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.
Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a
difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their
smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.
Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the
hospital team is able to provide the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.

Feeling joy is good for you and not just because you feel happy in the moment. You can keep a joy journal to save it up and use it again.
When you feel joyful you’re in a positive mood, which helps you to deal with challenges and solve problems. Chartered psychologist Suzy Reading, an expert in thoughts and feelings, says experiencing joy is good for your health. “It improves your immune (免疫的) system, protecting you from illness, and it reduces pain, worry and stress, helping you sleep.” The joy you feel doesn’t only benefit you, the people around you gain from it too because joy is contagious. Scientists have found that your joy can influence your family and friends and make them happy.
To record your joy, a joy journal is a special place. You can include whatever you like in it. Taking time to make a note of what’s giving you joy helps you focus on that experience and draw even more happiness from it. Suzy Reading explains, “By recording your joyful moments you can return to them whenever you need a little boost and relive them in the future.”
Choose a notebook and decorate the cover. It is up to you how often you add to it — perhaps every day after school or
only at weekends. You can keep all your joyful things together or divide your journal into areas such as family, friends, school and hobbies. How do you best express yourself You could write, draw, use colorful pens and stick things in.
Write lists of your favorite things: your favorite foods, perhaps, or TV shows or animals, and what you like about them. You can record a moment from each day that gave you joy: who was there, what happened, what you could see, hear and smell. This will help you feel the joy again and remember it more easily. You could make a joyjournal with your family too, to record what makes you all happy.
8. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Nearly lost. B. Easily spread. C. Well protected. D. Badly damaged.

A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Subjective. D. Concerned.
10. How can you best express your joy according to the text
A. Write and draw what happened. B. Tell parents your favorite foods.
C. Take photos of the colorful pens. D. Stick things and post them online.
11. Which is probably the best title of the text
A. The Importance of Getting Happy B. Spread Feelings to Your Family
C. The Ways of Lifting State D. Keep a Joy Journal
D
Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of common glasses. The film is cheap to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.
This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光) normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can pared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.
Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the heat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device.
Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is unlike the traditional devices. Once this new night vision is used to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlighted roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The inventors are excited to make the practical uses. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,”
said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology.
12. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph
A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce.
C. It helps us see in the dark. D. It looks like regular glasses.
13. What is one advantage of the new night vision technology over traditional infrared devices
A. It can only work in extremely low temperatures.
B. It is not easily affected by heat noise.
C. It requires a cooler to function properly.
D. It can only detect the heat of objects.
14. What does Paragraph 4 focus on about the new technology
A. Its practical applications. B. Its future improvements.
C. Its likely buyers. D. Its working conditions.
15. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen’s words
A. It is not exciting enough to scientists. B. It needs to be further developed.
C. It has become a hit in the experiment. D. It has been available to common people.

In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large
military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.
As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.
Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without
dad. We were all very sad.
I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart.
When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the
living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.
We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.

When you feel joyful you’re in a positive mood, which helps you to deal with challenges and solve problems. Chartered psychologist Suzy Reading, an expert in thoughts and feelings, says experiencing joy is good for your health. “It improves your immune (免疫的) system, protecting you from illness, and it reduces pain, worry and stress, helping you sleep.” The joy you feel doesn’t only benefit you, the people around you gain from it too because joy is contagious. Scientists have found that your joy can influence your family and friends and make them happy.
To record your joy, a joy journal is a special place. You can include whatever you like in it. Taking time to make a note of what’s giving you joy helps you focus on that experience and draw even more happiness from it. Suzy Reading explains, “By recording your joyful moments you can return to them whenever you need a little boost and relive them in the future.”
Choose a notebook and decorate the cover. It is up to you how often you add to it — perhaps every day after school or
only at weekends. You can keep all your joyful things together or divide your journal into areas such as family, friends, school and hobbies. How do you best express yourself You could write, draw, use colorful pens and stick things in.
Write lists of your favorite things: your favorite foods, perhaps, or TV shows or animals, and what you like about them. You can record a moment from each day that gave you joy: who was there, what happened, what you could see, hear and smell. This will help you feel the joy again and remember it more easily. You could make a joyjournal with your family too, to record what makes you all happy.

Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of common glasses. The film is cheap to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.
This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光) normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can pared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.
Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the heat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device.
Their new device is able to function at room temperature. The new technology is unlike the traditional devices. Once this new night vision is used to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlighted roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The inventors are excited to make the practical uses. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,”
said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology.
12. What do we know about the film according to the first paragraph
A. It costs a lot to make. B. It is difficult to produce.
C. It helps us see in the dark. D. It looks like regular glasses.
13. What is one advantage of the new night vision technology over traditional infrared devices
A. It can only work in extremely low temperatures.
B. It is not easily affected by heat noise.
C. It requires a cooler to function properly.
D. It can only detect the heat of objects.
14. What does Paragraph 4 focus on about the new technology
A. Its practical applications. B. Its future improvements.
C. Its likely buyers. D. Its working conditions.
15. What can be inferred about the technology in Mohsen’s words
A. It is not exciting enough to scientists. B. It needs to be further developed.
C. It has become a hit in the experiment. D. It has been available to common people.

Dear fellow students,
I’m Li Hua. It’s my great honor to deliver a speech on our attitude towards money.
Undoubtedly, money plays a vital role in our daily life. We need it to afford our food, clothing and education.
Yet money can never buy happiness, health or valuable friendship. As senior high school students, we are supposed to spend money wisely. We should avoid unnecessary consumption and meaningless comparison. Meanwhile, we must value our parents’ hard work and earn money honestly through proper ways.
In brief, let us regard money as a helpful tool and build a positive and rational attitude towards it. Thanks for your attention.

47. 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。
In 1952, my father traveled with the United Nations Peacekeeping Organization. He worked on a very large
military vessel, and he went where the vessel went . This meant he spent a lot of time away from our home in North Carolina.
As Christmas approached, he called from somewhere remote. He explained to my mother why he would not be celebrating the holiday with us. He was a long way from home and had no way of getting back to his family.
Disappointed as she was, mum understood dad’s situation. She also knew we would be upset, so she told my two sisters, brother and me right away. The news hit me very hard. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without
dad. We were all very sad.
I knew he would have tried his best to be with us. Still, I went to bed on Christmas Eve with a heavy heart.
When we woke up on Christmas morning, we opened the presents mum had put under the Christmas tree in the
living room. I don’t remember what gift my brother received that year, but my sisters and I found new Barbie dolls. My sisters’ dolls had fancy clothes and shoes, and mum had placed mine in a pumpkin carriage. We were all happy with our gifts, so we went outside to play. I didn’t want mum to see how gloomy I was because I couldn’t show dad our gifts and say Merry Christmas to him. I could tell mum was feeling sad, too.
We went to play outside and as I was playing, I looked up and saw Santa approaching. I ran inside to tell Mother. She did not believe me and told me not to make up stories. I went back outside to welcome Santa. My brother, sisters and I were all very excited to see a real Santa coming to our home.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

We were eager to know what gifts Santa would give us.

【答案】参考范文
We were eager to know what gifts Santa would give us. Slowly, Santa dropped his bag full of gifts on the
ground and greeted us with arms open wide, like dad often did. The moment we received our delicately packaged
presents, we tore off the wrapping paper. So excited was I that I bounced around Santa like a rabbit and kept saying thanks, without wondering how Santa knew that I expected a box of crayons as my gift —something I had
mentioned to my father months ago.
We had no idea that a bigger surprise was waiting for us. Santa took off his costume and beamed at us with a naughty look. We burst into tears when we realized it was our dad dressed as Santa. We all walked inside and dad kissed mum, who was also surprised at his sudden return. Dad told us about his strenuous journey home. His
special surprise was one of the best gifts I have ever received for Christmas.
