    My 7-year-old daughter Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated, but we were poor. I didn’t own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood, and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks (). So it's probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged (耸肩). “Sorry. I can't find it.” she said. “It’s only $20, right? What’s the big deal?”

I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop (笼子) in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime, and dust floated in the dry air.

But my girl, my animal-loving mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop (铲鸡粪) was the most fun she’d had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She did not feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another book on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded (发愣的), watching her.

It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didn't care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop, fetching the clean straw and feed. Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born, and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I don't know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didn't care about the book anymore. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.

1.How does Leeny find reading?

A.It is very challenging.

B.It is full of enjoyment.

C.It inspires her to be a camper.

D.It teaches her to love her family.

2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph1 refers to the fact that________.

A.the author could never have enough books to read

B.the author’s daughters often lost library books

C.the author’s daughters own too many books

D.the author didn’t own any books

3.What’s the best title for the text?

A.What I owe to Leeny: more attention

B.My punishment failed, but I didn’t care

C.My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful

D.Surprise: my daughter loves cleaning chicken coops

    U.K. astronomer Martin Rees says that in future, some people may decide to leave Earth in order to live on other worlds. Finally, he added, they might use high technologies to change themselves to adapt to their new environment.

“They will find themselves ill-adapted to conditions there, so they will redesign themselves using powerful genetic engineering (基因工程) technologies,” Rees says. “These techniques will, I hope, be kept under control on Earth; but those on other planets will be freer to try.”

“We should surely wish them luck in changing their children to adapt to outer planets. This may be the first step towards the development of a new species,” says Rees. He says that these “post-humans” could one day turn into “fully inorganic intelligences” which may not even need an atmosphere to live and may grow well in zero-gravity environments, which ordinary people are not adapted to. “So it is in deep space, not on Earth, that ‘brains’ may develop powers that humans can’t even imagine,” says Rees.

Rees also warns that human beings shouldn’t fall back on the idea that they can avoid disaster on Earth by heading deeper into space. “It’s dangerous to think that space offers an escape from Earth’s problems,” he says. “We must solve them here. Dealing with climate change is a doddle compared with changing other planets; there’s no environment in our solar system as mild as even the top of Qomolangma.”

This isn't the first time Rees has made interesting predictions. Last year, Rees predicted possible dangers of nuclear physics (核物理学) tests taking place on Earth. “Maybe a black hole could form, and then take in everything around it,” he said. However, some scientists were not worried about this prediction. Stefan, a physicist, said he wouldn't be “losing any sleep” over that prediction.

1.What might be Rees’s prediction?

A.People might live on other planets soon.

B.Space technologies might be improved greatly.

C.People might avoid using genetic technology in outer space.

D.Space exploration might lead to genetically-changed humans.

2.Which of the following might be a description of “post-humans” ?

A.They have better survivability.

B.They are sensitive to zero gravity.

C.They are as smart as ordinary people.

D.They cannot adapt to the global environment.

3.What might the underlined part “a doddle” Paragraph 4 mean?

A.The top dog. B.A hot potato.

C.A piece of cake. D.A white elephant.

4.What did Stefan think of Rees’s prediction?

A.It was doubtful.

B.It made great sense.

C.It required special attention.

D.It questioned many popular beliefs.

Surprising uses for lemons

Lemons are tasty and healthy, but they are simply so much more than for making lemonade. 1.

Lemons are used to refresh and clean a cutting board.

With garlic and onions being used widely in cooking, the struggle of washing the unpleasant smell out of a cutting board is something many people can relate to. But not only that, the cutting board can be home to all sorts of harmful bacteria.

2. Cut one in half and press the fruit against the board, wipe hard until the juices flow over the board, wash and enjoy your lemon-fresh cutting board.

Lemons are used to unclog a drain(疏通排水管).

First, several lemons are squeezed for their juices into a cup, then the drain is washed with boiling water before being filled with half a box of baking soda(苏打). Lemon juice is poured over the baking soda, causing it to bubble. 3.

Another part of your kitchen you can clean with lemons is your microwave.

Putting some lemon juice into a cup of water and microwaving for 5 minutes not only loosens up stains in the microwave so they are easily wiped away, but leaves a fresh smell behind.

4.

If you are lucky enough to have a dishwasher in your house, you can freshen things up by putting a few lemon slices into your dishwasher.

Lemons can be used to create a homemade face scrub(磨砂膏).

First, you need three tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of a lemon, two tablespoons of honey and half a cup of sugar.5. After the time is up, wash to brighten your skin.

A.Luckily, life has brought us lemons.

B.After 15 minutes, water flows smoothly.

C.Here are some different uses for the fruit.

D.Then combine, apply and leave on the face for 15 minutes.

E.Lemons can get rid of unpleasant smells in the kitchen.

F.Lemons can be put into your dishwasher to freshen things up.

G.Cut a lemon and squeeze it over the rubbish before throwing it away.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a picnic. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we saw two adult geese () and a young goose. The adults were surprised by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the young goose out of fear that it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever.

Hours passed, and night fell. With it came the coldness. The tiny little thing was walking around our yard and it was clear that the goose needed protection and warmth. At that point, we knew we had to help, аnd wе brоught hіm іntо оur bасk роrсh (门廊).

We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to shoo (赶走) the goose to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, though, and they wouldn’t come close enough to take him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name. My sister Joanna called him Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. We also decided that Peeper was a boy. I don’t know why; it just felt right.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper slept in our back porch each night. My dad would clean all the goose droppings daily. He would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop () around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.

注意:

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;

Paragraph 1:

One evening, my dad threw Peeper up in the air as usual, but this time, Peeper just flew off._________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

It came as a total shock to me when, in 2019, an aging adult goose made his way back to my family home. ____________
