I was attacked by a tiger shark in late Octber 1997. It was near my hme n the island f Kauai—a typical fall mrning with friends. The waves were really gd, s nthing was stpping us.
That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth int my lwer leg. There had been n splashing, n nise, and I felt n pain, nly great pressure n my lwer bdy.
Then I fllwed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens t be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back int shre, I felt my lwer right leg spasming (痉挛). When I lked dwn, I realized it was gne. The shark had bit my lwer leg ff. My friends rushed t my aid, and rushed me t hspital.
It was anther day befre the “fg” lifted, at which pint I pened my eyes and realized I was in the hspital—a belw-the-knee amputee (截肢). Fr the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and cnsidered the future.
As sn as I was given the OK by my dctrs, I did what many f us might cnsider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site f his attack. I was unshaken and curius—Was it because f the tides? The phase f the mn? I als recalled that the mrning f the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark?
I was determined t research sharks, and I did learn smething that wuld change my life: Humans are far mre dangerus t sharks than the ther way arund, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a dcumentary called Sharkwater, and I learned abut the demand fr shark fin sup and the fact that 70 millin sharks a year are killed fr their fins alne.”
My unique situatin as a shark survivr empwered me t give sharks a vice. I began wrking with the Hawaii state legislature t help pass a ban n shark-derived prducts. I partnered with ther like-minded shark attack survivrs and marine bilgists, and we headed t Washingtn t urge senatrs t create a natinwide bill prtecting sharks.
What is mainly talked abut in the first tw paragraphs?
A. The missing leg.B. The shark attack.C. The timely rescue.D. The expert’s advice.
Why did the authr ride the waves again?
T figure ut why he became a target.
T g n with his unshaken hbby.
T keep track f the phase f the mn.
T explre why the water had a fishy smell.
What did the authr find after he recvered?
Humans tend t ignre the dangers.
Humans can’t survive withut sharks.
Sharks pse a greater threat t humans.
Sharks are in urgent need f prtectin.

Life cntinually requires that we write dwn a few wrds f thanks: fr hlidays, meals, presents r peple’s place in ur hearts. Hwever, t ften, ur messages end up flat r smewhat uncnvincing. T make ur messages mre effective, we might take a lessn frm the histry f art.
T sme extent, what distinguishes great frm cmmn art is the level f detail with which the wrld has been studied. A talented artist is, first and fremst, smene wh takes us int the specifics f the reasns why an experience r a place felt valuable. They dn’t merely tell us that spring is “nice”, they zer in n the particular cntributing factrs t this niceness: leaves that have the sftness f a newbrn’s hands, the cntrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the sft cry f baby blackbirds...
Sme f the reasn why great artists are rare is that ur minds are nt well set up t understand why we feel as we d. But we can be cnfident if ur minds have been affected, the reasns why they’ve been s will be smewhere, waiting t be uncvered. We stand t realize that it wasn’t s much that the fd was “delicius”, but that the ptates in particular had a charming rsemary and garlic flavur. A friend wasn’t just “nice”; they brught in a hugely sensitive and generus tne t ask us what it had been like fr us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting fr us t catch them.
We dn’t have t be great artists t send effective thank-yu ntes. We just need t lcate and hld n tightly t tw r three highly detailed reasns fr ur gratitude.
What can we infer frm Paragraph 1?
We seldm express gratitude by writing.
We usually find messages f thanks tuching.
We shuld take a curse in message writing.
We may draw inspiratin fr thank-yus frm arts.
What des the underlined phrase “zer in n” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Leave ut.B. Clear up.C. Fcus n.D. Hld back.
Hw is Paragraph 3 develped?
A. By classificatin.B. By example.C. By definitin.D. By prcess.
Which wuld the authr recmmend t express gratitude?
I am blessed t have such a wnderful week.
Yur caring and warm smile lights up my day.
Thank yu s much fr yur great present.
This is the mst delicius dinner I’ve ever had.

At ancient sites acrss the Amazn River basin, mysterius plts f unusually rich sil dt (点缀) the landscape. Scientists have lng debated the rigin f this “dark earth”, which is darker in clr than surrunding sils and richer in carbn. Sme peple think this dark earth frmed naturally, but the latest research has shwn that mdern Kuikur peple in Brazil create similar sil arund their villages n purpse, which adds evidence t the idea that lng-ag Amazns deliberately made such sil t. Perrn, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews f Kuikur peple cnducted by a Kuikur filmmaker in 2018 and fund that Kuikur villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, fd bits and cntrlled burns. “When yu plant in hilly land, the sil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikur in ne f the interviews. That is why we thrw the ash, manic peelings and manic pulp. When cmparing sil samples frm ancient and mdern sites, researchers fund “striking similarities”—bth were far less acidic than surrunding sils and cntained higher levels f plant-friendly nutrients.
Analyses als revealed that dark earth hlds twice the amunt f carbn as surrunding sils n average. Scans (扫描) f the Xingu regin suggest that the area is dtted with dark earth, and that hld as much as abut 9 millin tns f carbn—the annual carbn emissins f a small, industrialized cuntry. “This number culd rughly equal the annual carbn emissins f the United States when all dark earth acrss the Amazn is taken int cnsideratin,” Perrn says.
Figuring ut the true value f carbn stred in the Amazn’s dark earth will require mre data. Still, the research has significant influences n the Amazn’s future. The technique highlights hw ancient peple were able t live in the Amazn by develping sustainable farming that dubled as a carbn-string technique. With mre and mre greenhuse gases entering the atmsphere, it culd als prvide a blueprint fr develping methds f sustainably lcking atmspheric carbn in the sil, helping fight climate change.
What can we infer frm the dark earth acrss the Amazn River basin?
They are mre acidic than surrunding sils.
They cntain mre rganic nutrients.
They frmed naturally.
They cntain less carbn.
Why des the authr mentin the annual carbn emissins f the US?
T explain the difficulty f prtecting dark earth.
T shw the wide distributin f dark earth in Amazn.
T stress the huge carbn-string capability f dark earth.
T reveal the large carbn emissins f the United States.
What des the authr stress in the last paragraph?
A pssible slutin t climate change.
The advanced farming technlgy in ancient tmes.
The imprtance f develping sustainable farming.
A way f green agriculture.
Which is the best title f the text?
Urgency f Sustainable Develpment

The mment my sn Je knew I was ging t have anther baby, he tried his best t stay ut f ur lives. By the time ur daughter Mlly was due t be brn, I had grwn accustmed t his embarrassment and animsity（敌意）. I had grwn accustmed t a lt f things, nt the least f which was having an unexpected child at the age f 39. My husband, t his eternal credit, was delighted. Thrughut it all, Je rarely spke t me, except t say, “Yu dn’t have t cme t my schl,” and—after a marathn baby naming cnference— “Call her Mlly.”
When Mlly finally arrived, tiny, quiet and perfect, fur family arms were there t draw her clse. But Je’s remained tightly crssed ver his chest, n the far side f the hspital rm I signed t him t cme clser but he shk his head slightly. I culd see him standing there, arms still flded, staring straight ahead.
Je stayed away at a friend’s cttage when Mlly and I came hme frm the hspital. He was still gne ten days later when I tk ur daughter fr her first check-up. He arrived hme just as I was cming back, tears streaming dwn my face. “The dctr thinks she might have a hearing prblem,” I sbbed. “She’s t quiet. She’s nt respnding like she shuld. We have t have her tested.”
As my husband cmfrted me, dwnplaying my wrry, I nticed that Je had stpped beside the baby, sund asleep in her car seat. He reached ut t her, shifting her slightly away frm a bump（隆起） in the carpet. “She’s kay,” he said, lking dwn n her. “There’s nthing wrng with her. She’s just little.”
Three mnths later as I walked the flr at 4:00 a.m. with a crying and incnslable（难以安抚的 ）baby in my arms, I dragged myself int Je’s rm and wke him up. “Je, culd yu take her? Just fr a few minutes? I can’t settle her dwn. Dad’s n business, and I just really need a break.”
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
Saying nthing, Je tk his little sister frm me.
Seeing Mlly sleeping peacefully in Je’s bed, I walked ut, fllwed Je.
