On game day,Jack and his volunteers started their work.After the final count,the team had packaged 47，124 meals-well above Jack's goal.

To be sure,only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers.Many feel more pressure to succeed.They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.
In India,10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority（少数） of only children.Among other things,the group does volunteer work to fight against the false idea that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal,a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."
Most only children,however,say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging,unhealthy parents.Britain's David Emerson,co-author of the book The Only Child,says that such a person has to make all the decisions alone.Emerson knows from experience.After his father died,he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home,where she was vulnerable （易受攻击的）to house breakers,to a new one with more safety. "The move was quite hard on her,and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says, "After all,I am left with that responsibility."
In the future,more and more only children will probably face similar choices.With working mothers increasing,many families are finding they simply don't have the time,money or energy to have more than one child.As only children become common,perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unfair.
4. The author's attitude towards only children is ______ .
A. Critical B. Objective C. Hostile D. Unjust
5. It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ______ .
A. found a support group for their only children
B. do volunteer work to help their only children
C. let their only children make all the decisions alone
D. set good examples for their only children
6. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ______ .
A. is the only one who cares about her
B. doesn't want to leave her alone
C. wants to share the responsibility with her
D. is worried about her safety
7. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .
A. only children are ruined and irresponsible
B. only children have to face many challenges
C. most only children want to have brothers and sisters
D. most only children share their responsibility with their parents
C
Sleep,considered a luxury by many,is essential for a person's wellbeing.Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions.such as obesity,diabetes,and cardiovascular diseases.Now,a new study by Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman,who led the research.was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class.Instead,the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which.tracks a person's activity 24/7，would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However,the study,published in the journal "Science Learning" on October 1，2019，discovered a surprising insight.Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes,three midterms,and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting,it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.Instead,it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important.Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly,even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. "When you go to bed matters.Grossman says.If you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours.So,quantity isn't everything."
8. What is the new finding about sleep？ ______
A. It's essential for a person's health.
B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C. Sleeping too much is dangerous.
D. Ample sleep leads to better grades.
9. What does the underlined word "Fitbits" in paragraph 2 refer to？ ______
A. Wearable devices. B. Questionnaires.
C. Fitness equipment. D. Smartphones.
10. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study？ ______
A. Doubtful. B. Predictable. C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected.
11. What will benefit students' study according to Grossman？ ______
A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day.
B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m every day.
C. Getting enough sleep while learning.
D. Going to bed early only before a test.
D
    "There's no place like home." This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
    In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
    A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
    The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their "big kids". Emma Craig from Money supermarket says, "They're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more."
    With parents splashing out around ￡1, 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
12. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions?
A. A lazy youth,an awful age.
B. East or west,home is best.
C. Two heads are better than one.
D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
13. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds?
A. The popularity of living independently.
B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The increase of unemployment rate.
D. Their parents' financial offer.
14. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Objective. D. Understandable.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.
The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth tasking. (1) Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring. (2) As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well,even 200，000 years ago,too much risk-taking could get one Killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it. (3)
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. (4) To help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.Mean taking some risks,so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.
(5) For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking,we'll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A.It all depends on your character.
B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D.Thus,these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

38. A Bowl of Noodles Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, "Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles？"
"Oh,yes...but I don't have money on me..." she replied.
"That's nothing.I'll treat you today," said the man,"Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle （狼吞虎咽） up the delicious food...then cried silently.
"What is it？ "asked the man kindly.
"Nothing,actually I was moved by your kindness!" said Jenny as she wiped her tears, "Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so mean and cruel!"
Hearing the words,the seller smiled "Girl,do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times that she has cooked for you？Have you expressed your thanks to her？ "
Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock；she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1：
Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath.________
Paragraph 2：
Her mother came back home,which called her mind back._________

【解析】（1）F.推理判断题。根据前文Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth tasking.（有时候我们觉得一点不必要的危险是值得的，因为当我们权衡风险和回报时，风险似乎是值得承担的。）和后文Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.（我们中的一些人喜欢那些会让其他人感到惊讶和害怕的活动。）可知，衡量风险的标准每个人都可能不一样。所以 F选项However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.（然而，我们并不是都使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报。）与上文为转折关系，且承接下文。故选F。
（2）C.联系上文题。根据前文Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.（冒险者更擅长狩猎、战斗或探险。）可知，冒险者有更大的机会生存下去。所以C选项Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.（在这些方面做得更好意味着更大的生存机会）承接上文。故选C。
（3）A.联系上文题。根据前文So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.（也许你喜欢赛车，也许你讨厌它。）可知，喜欢不喜欢赛车，要依据你的性格。故A选项It all depends on your character.（这完全取决于你的性格。）承接上文。故选A。

（5）G.联系下文题。根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.（对于寻求风险的人来说，大脑中与快乐相关的部分变得活跃，而对于我们其他人来说，与恐惧相关的部分变得活跃。）可知，不同的人的大脑在处理快乐和恐惧时表现也会不一样。所以前面应该是说大脑的不同反应。所以G选项New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.（新的大脑研究表明，当我们面对紧张的情况时，我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作。）承接下文。故选G。
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据，人们都喜欢冒险，因为风险也意味着回报，生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事，这和人的大脑有关。

36.【答案】1.was informed
2.prettiest
3.the
4.determined
5.with/for
6.eventually
7.making
8.inspiration
9.had worked
10.who
【解析】1.句意：我刚到不久，就被告知要在“俱乐部时间”选择一项爱好。inform sb to do sth为固定用法，告知某人做某事。主语I和谓语动词inform是被动关系，再根据时间状语shortly after I arrived可知，此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was informed。
2.句意：对于我这个移民来说，业余爱好和俱乐部的想法毫无意义，但我决定追随班上最漂亮的女孩。由空前的the可知此处表示“全班最漂亮的女孩”，此处应用形容词最高级修饰名词girl，故填prettiest。
3.句意：她带我去见了校报顾问兼英语老师赫德小姐。in the presence of sb为固定短语，当着某人的面；在某人面前。lead sb into the presence of sb带某人去见……。故填the。
4.句意：赫德小姐是一个坚毅的女人，头发花白，眼神坚定，她对懒骨头没有耐心。空处修饰名词eyes,应用形容词determined作定语，意思是"坚定的"。故填determined。
5.句意：赫德小姐是一个坚毅的女人，头发花白，眼神坚定，她对懒骨头没有耐心。have patience with/for sb为固定搭配，对……有耐心。故填with/for。
6.句意：她教我们语法，布置故事让我们阅读和讨论，最后还教我们如何制作报纸。此处需要副词修饰谓语动词taught。故填eventually。
7.句意：她对希腊文学财富的介绍，让我对饱受战争摧残的祖国有了新的认识，让我对自己的出身感到自豪。本句中谓语动词是gave，此处应用非谓语动词作结果状语，前面内容与make之间为主动关系，且表示合乎逻辑的结果，make应用现在分词形式。故填making。
8.句意：由于她的启发，多年后我成为了一名职业记者。形容词性物主代词her后接名词，inspire是动词，其名词是inspiration，启发，是不可数名词。故填inspiration。
9.句意：到那时为止，她已经工作了41年。空处作谓语，时间状语by then中的then指的是过去的时间，表示过去某一时间或动作以前已经发生或完成了的动作，应用过去完成时，故填had worked。
10.句意：是赫德小姐把我的悲伤和痛苦变成了文字。此处需要一个连接词引导定语从句，从句中缺主语，其先行词the one指人，应由关系代词who引导。故填who。

       （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
       根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
       （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
       在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
