【原文】W: Yesterday, I went to a place called Sidelli with my family. It was really interesting. In the morning, we visited a theater. It was built 2,000 years ago beside the sea and people used to watch plays there in the open air. There used to be an old fishing village nearby. After that, we had a guided tour. Rather than go to the old palace, which is full of tourists, our guide took us up a hill and showed us around what’s left of a library. Most of it had fallen down, but it still had a fantastic atmosphere. We then took a bus into the countryside for lunch, and we ate next to a waterfall. Afterwards, we took a walk from there to a lake. In the afternoon, we chose to go on one of two different factory tours. One factory made pots and plates, which sounded dull to me, and one produced carpets. That was the one we went on. There were lots of traditional designs, all made by local people. It was amazing. That was the last thing we did that day.

Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as away to—not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance.
Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the times she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said.
It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music i s my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition!
Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.”
24. What did the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage mean to Sirine?
A. This stage had earned her both fame and fortune.
B. This stage was away for her to escape reality.
C. She had a stage accident, resulting in blindness.
D. She demonstrated her excellent musical talent on the stage.
25 How did her parents discover Sirine’s musical talent?
A. By talking to her about music topics.
B. By playing music to her while driving.
C. By asking famous singers for identification.
D. By discovering the lyrics and songs she wrote.
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Everyone was moved by Sirine’s live performance.
B. Sirine won the championship of the British Got Talent Show.
C. Sirine advanced onstage by selling her tragic experiences.
D. Sirine’s performance received votes from everyone present.
27. What message does the author want to convey to us according to the passage?

C
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners maybe unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
28. What might happen when newcomers enter a new culture?
A. They have difficult yin saying yes or no.
B. They find it annoying to understand the friendship.
C. They refuse to shake hands with strangers.
D. They are puzzled by local customs and habits.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setbacks” in paragraph 3?
A. discouragements B. achievements C. arguments D. amazement
30. How do the newcomers react in the face of the culture shock according to the last paragraph?
A. They will miss their motherland deeply enough to return to their homeland.
B. They are willing to accept a new culture unconditionally and completely.
C. They try their best to fit into local life and live a positive and upward life.
D. They only contact fellow countrymen with the same experience.
31. What will the next paragraph talk about?
A. What to do to ignore the differences. B. How to live comfortably abroad.
C. How to deal with the culture shock. D. What to do to avoid homesickness.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当人们突然被投入到一种新的文化中时，就会发生文化冲击。本文对文化冲击现象进行了简要介绍，文化冲击包括语言障碍、习俗差异、适应困难，以及新来者可能会采取的极端的处理方式。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life. (新来的人可能会焦虑，因为他们不会说这种语言。他们既不知道习俗，也不了解人们在日常生活中的行为。)”和第二段“The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.(文化冲击的概念有助于解释困惑的感觉。)”可知，新来的人因不了解当地风俗习惯而感到困惑。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.(语言问题并不会导致人们感受到的所有setbacks。当一个人失去了曾经熟悉的一切，比如了解交通系统、知道如何注册大学课程或知道如何交朋友时，应对新社会的困难可能会出现。)”，身处异国他乡产生的语言问题会让新来者陷入一个不熟悉的环境，遇到困难，遭遇挫折，setbacks意为“挫折”，与discouragements意思相近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (另一方面，更多的来访者可能会对他们的祖国嗤之以鼻，拒绝它的价值，相反选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了被新文化中的人接受而试图接受新文化。)”可推知，为了融入到当地文化中，被新文化中的人接受，新来者愿意无条件完全地接受新文化。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时，他或她会感觉像一条离开水的鱼。新来者有时会觉得他们不属于这个文化，觉得被这个文化的本土成员抛弃了。当这种情况发生时，来访者可能想要拒绝新环境的一切，可能会赞美和歌颂自己文化的积极方面。另一方面，更多的来访者可能会鄙视他们的祖国，拒绝它的价值，而选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了适应新的文化而试图接受新的文化)”可知，最后一段阐述了两种思想倾向，或不能融入或全盘接受，这些都是很极端的做法，所以下文将会继续就如何应对文化冲击给出建议。故选C项。
D
Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes.
However, there are many reasons why predicting quakes is so hard. “We don’t understand some basic physics of earthquakes,” said Egill, a research professor at the California Institute of Technology. Scientists have also attempted to create mathematical models of movement, but precisely predicting would require great mapping and analysis of the Earth’s crust. Other challenges include a lack of data on the early warning signs, given that these warning signs are not yet entirely understood. Actually, real earthquake prediction is very similar to the diagnosis of potential human illnesses based on observing and analyzing each patient’s signs and symptoms. As it turns out, quake prediction is extremely difficult.
Many sources show that earthquake forecasting was a recognized science in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks lived very close to nature and were able to detect unusual phenomena and forecast earthquakes. The first known forecast was made by Pherecydes of Syros about 2500 years ago: he made it as he scooped water from a well and noticed that usually very clean water had suddenly become muddy. Indeed, an earthquake occurred two days later, making Pherecydes famous. Nowadays, seismic and remote-sensing methods are considered to have the greatest potential in terms of solving the earthquake prediction problem.
Currently, Terra Seismic can identify a forthcoming earthquake with a high level of confidence. Generally, Terra Seismic does not predict a quake if the earthquake’s epicenter is located beyond a depth of 40 km. Fortunately, such quakes are almost always harmless, since quake’s energy reduces before reaching the Earth’s surface. “Scientists have tried every possible method to try to predict earthquakes,” Bruneau said. “Nobody has been able to crack it and make a believable prediction.”
32. What do we know about earthquake forecasting?
A. Scientists have been passionate about accurately predicting earthquakes.
B. As long as enough data is collected, earthquakes can be predicted.
C. Mathematical models of motion can simulate and predict earthquakes.
D. Scientists have not yet fully studied the structure of earthquakes.
33. How did Pherecydes successfully predict earthquakes?
A. By seismic and remote-sensing methods.
B By observing unusual natural phenomena.
C. By living in seismic zones throughout the year.
D. By looking into data on the early warning signs.
34. What was Bruneau’s opinion about the current methods of earthquake prediction?
A. He strongly believed the Terra Seismic can solve the difficult problem.
B. He was sure that humans could accurately predict earthquakes in the future.
C. He considered it harmless to humans for an earthquake deeper than 40km.
D. He thought that scientists had no reliable method to predict earthquakes.
35. Which question does this article focus on?
A. Why do humans predict earthquakes?
B. How to protect oneself during an earthquake?
C. What methods can be used to forecast earthquakes?
D. When to achieve accurate earthquake forecasting?
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了地震预报是古老的技能，解释了地震预报困难的原因以及地震预报的历史和方法等。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. (地震预报是人类已知的最古老的技能之一。从古希腊到今天，无数科学家试图开发预测地震的工具。)”可知，从古希腊到今天，科学家们一直热衷于准确预测地震。故选A项。

Forty-three years seems like along time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance (认识的人). I have forgotten the name of the old lady to whom I delivered newspapers, but I can’t forget the lessons he taught me in forgiveness.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones on to the roof of the old lady’s house. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window of the house.
At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned and ran away quickly. I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.
She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window.
I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until dark and put the letter that I didn’t sign in her letterbox.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, I delivered the newspaper to her as usual. She gave me a warm smile and I grinned to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. When I was about to leave, she gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself to thank me for the newspaper. I was surprised to receive it, showing my gratitude at a loss. On arriving home, I couldn’t wait to open the bag and enjoy the delicious cookies happily, feeling as though I were floating in an ocean of joy.
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was stunned. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “You are an honest child. I’m proud of you.” It wasn’t until then that I realized that the old lady had already known the truth. She had been waiting for my reaction. So moved was I that I couldn’t contain myself, with tears welling in my eyes. From that day on, I told myself I was bound to be an honest and responsible person.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者回忆四十三年前的一个冬天，玩扔石头时不小心打破了老太太的窗户的年少的作者和朋友落荒而逃，但是后来想到老太太会挨冻，内疚的作者用三个星期省下了七美元的报纸派送费作为赔偿，和一封道歉信放进老太太的信箱里。第二天，作者给老太太送报纸时，收到老太太亲手做的饼干和一封信，老太太其实早就知道真相，她知道作者是诚实的孩子。通过此事，作者决定做一个诚实有责任心的人。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我像往常一样给她送报纸。”可知，第一段可描写作者送报纸时，老太太送给他一袋她亲手做的饼干，以感谢作者送报纸，作者回家后很开心地享用饼干。
②由第二段首句内容“吃了几块饼干后，我摸到了一个信封，把它从袋子里拿了出来。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现了袋子里有老太太写的便条，还有7美元的钱，这时才意识到老太太早就知道真相，作者因此决定做一个诚实又负责的人。
2.续写线索：送报纸得饼干——吃饼干发现信封——读便条知真相——感悟

【原文】W: Yesterday, I went to a place called Sidelli with my family. It was really interesting. In the morning, we visited a theater. It was built 2,000 years ago beside the sea and people used to watch plays there in the open air. There used to be an old fishing village nearby. After that, we had a guided tour. Rather than go to the old palace, which is full of tourists, our guide took us up a hill and showed us around what’s left of a library. Most of it had fallen down, but it still had a fantastic atmosphere. We then took a bus into the countryside for lunch, and we ate next to a waterfall. Afterwards, we took a walk from there to a lake. In the afternoon, we chose to go on one of two different factory tours. One factory made pots and plates, which sounded dull to me, and one produced carpets. That was the one we went on. There were lots of traditional designs, all made by local people. It was amazing. That was the last thing we did that day.

Sirine Jahangir has been singing, writing and performing music since she was a little girl. She lost all her vision in one eye by the time she turned 5, so now the teen uses her gift “as away to—not escape, but to help me through.” Not only did her passion get her through some difficult times, but when she was 14 it also brought her to the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage, where she impressed everyone with her performance.
Sirine has a rare condition that left her completely blind by the times she was 10 years old. While her parents and doctors have tried to find treatments for her, there isn’t much they can do. So her parents focused on helping her adjust to her new life, which was when her dad said she was first introduced to music “I remember one day, we were driving in the car. This is about when she was getting to the stage where she couldn’t look out the window anymore to see things, and I didn’t know what to do. I just put the music on really loud. She started singing in the car, and she was so happy. And then she just found happiness every time I put it on,” her father said.
It didn’t take long for them to realize Sirine has tremendous talent. When she appeared on “Britain’s Got Talent”, she told everyone just how much her passion means to her. “I guess music i s my vision,” she said. “That’s just what I live by, and music is my thing.” Then she headed over to the piano, where she played the piano and sang beautifully enough to bring the audience to tears! Unsurprisingly to everyone but Sirine, all four judges voted her into the next round of the competition!
Afterward, she said, “I can’t even say it’s a dream come true, because I didn’t even dream of it at any point... I never thought that would be realistic in my life.”
24. What did the “Britain’s Got Talent” stage mean to Sirine?
A. This stage had earned her both fame and fortune.
B. This stage was away for her to escape reality.
C. She had a stage accident, resulting in blindness.

A. By talking to her about music topics.
B. By playing music to her while driving.
C. By asking famous singers for identification.
D. By discovering the lyrics and songs she wrote.
26. What can be inferred from the passage?

C
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners maybe unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
28. What might happen when newcomers enter a new culture?
A. They have difficult yin saying yes or no.
B. They find it annoying to understand the friendship.
C. They refuse to shake hands with strangers.
D. They are puzzled by local customs and habits.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “setbacks” in paragraph 3?
A. discouragements B. achievements C. arguments D. amazement
30. How do the newcomers react in the face of the culture shock according to the last paragraph?
A. They will miss their motherland deeply enough to return to their homeland.
B. They are willing to accept a new culture unconditionally and completely.
C. They try their best to fit into local life and live a positive and upward life.
D. They only contact fellow countrymen with the same experience.
31. What will the next paragraph talk about?
A. What to do to ignore the differences. B. How to live comfortably abroad.
C. How to deal with the culture shock. D. What to do to avoid homesickness.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当人们突然被投入到一种新的文化中时，就会发生文化冲击。本文对文化冲击现象进行了简要介绍，文化冲击包括语言障碍、习俗差异、适应困难，以及新来者可能会采取的极端的处理方式。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Newcomers maybe anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people’s behavior in daily life. (新来的人可能会焦虑，因为他们不会说这种语言。他们既不知道习俗，也不了解人们在日常生活中的行为。)”和第二段“The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.(文化冲击的概念有助于解释困惑的感觉。)”可知，新来的人因不了解当地风俗习惯而感到困惑。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.(语言问题并不会导致人们感受到的所有setbacks。当一个人失去了曾经熟悉的一切，比如了解交通系统、知道如何注册大学课程或知道如何交朋友时，应对新社会的困难可能会出现。)”，身处异国他乡产生的语言问题会让新来者陷入一个不熟悉的环境，遇到困难，遭遇挫折，setbacks意为“挫折”，与discouragements意思相近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (另一方面，更多的来访者可能会对他们的祖国嗤之以鼻，拒绝它的价值，相反选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了被新文化中的人接受而试图接受新文化。)”可推知，为了融入到当地文化中，被新文化中的人接受，新来者愿意无条件完全地接受新文化。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it. (当一个人进入一种陌生的文化时，他或她会感觉像一条离开水的鱼。新来者有时会觉得他们不属于这个文化，觉得被这个文化的本土成员抛弃了。当这种情况发生时，来访者可能想要拒绝新环境的一切，可能会赞美和歌颂自己文化的积极方面。另一方面，更多的来访者可能会鄙视他们的祖国，拒绝它的价值，而选择认可新国家的价值。这可能是为了适应新的文化而试图接受新的文化)”可知，最后一段阐述了两种思想倾向，或不能融入或全盘接受，这些都是很极端的做法，所以下文将会继续就如何应对文化冲击给出建议。故选C项。
D
Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes.
However, there are many reasons why predicting quakes is so hard. “We don’t understand some basic physics of earthquakes,” said Egill, a research professor at the California Institute of Technology. Scientists have also attempted to create mathematical models of movement, but precisely predicting would require great mapping and analysis of the Earth’s crust. Other challenges include a lack of data on the early warning signs, given that these warning signs are not yet entirely understood. Actually, real earthquake prediction is very similar to the diagnosis of potential human illnesses based on observing and analyzing each patient’s signs and symptoms. As it turns out, quake prediction is extremely difficult.
Many sources show that earthquake forecasting was a recognized science in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks lived very close to nature and were able to detect unusual phenomena and forecast earthquakes. The first known forecast was made by Pherecydes of Syros about 2500 years ago: he made it as he scooped water from a well and noticed that usually very clean water had suddenly become muddy. Indeed, an earthquake occurred two days later, making Pherecydes famous. Nowadays, seismic and remote-sensing methods are considered to have the greatest potential in terms of solving the earthquake prediction problem.
Currently, Terra Seismic can identify a forthcoming earthquake with a high level of confidence. Generally, Terra Seismic does not predict a quake if the earthquake’s epicenter is located beyond a depth of 40 km. Fortunately, such quakes are almost always harmless, since quake’s energy reduces before reaching the Earth’s surface. “Scientists have tried every possible method to try to predict earthquakes,” Bruneau said. “Nobody has been able to crack it and make a believable prediction.”
32. What do we know about earthquake forecasting?
A. Scientists have been passionate about accurately predicting earthquakes.
B. As long as enough data is collected, earthquakes can be predicted.
C. Mathematical models of motion can simulate and predict earthquakes.
D. Scientists have not yet fully studied the structure of earthquakes.
33. How did Pherecydes successfully predict earthquakes?
A. By seismic and remote-sensing methods.
B By observing unusual natural phenomena.
C. By living in seismic zones throughout the year.
D. By looking into data on the early warning signs.
34. What was Bruneau’s opinion about the current methods of earthquake prediction?
A. He strongly believed the Terra Seismic can solve the difficult problem.
B. He was sure that humans could accurately predict earthquakes in the future.
C. He considered it harmless to humans for an earthquake deeper than 40km.
D. He thought that scientists had no reliable method to predict earthquakes.
35. Which question does this article focus on?
A. Why do humans predict earthquakes?
B. How to protect oneself during an earthquake?
C. What methods can be used to forecast earthquakes?
D. When to achieve accurate earthquake forecasting?
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了地震预报是古老的技能，解释了地震预报困难的原因以及地震预报的历史和方法等。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. (地震预报是人类已知的最古老的技能之一。从古希腊到今天，无数科学家试图开发预测地震的工具。)”可知，从古希腊到今天，科学家们一直热衷于准确预测地震。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The first known forecast was made by Pherecydes of Syros about 2500 years ago: he made it as he scooped water from a well and noticed that usually very clean water had suddenly become muddy. Indeed, an earthquake occurred two days later, making Pherecydes famous. (大约2500年前，西罗斯的费雷西德斯成为第一个知名的预测家。他在从井中舀水时注意到通常非常清澈的水突然变得浑浊。果然，两天后发生了一次地震，使费雷西德斯成名。)”可推知，Pherecydes是通过观察到井水变浑浊的自然异象预测的地震。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段末“‘Scientists have tried every possible method to try to predict earthquakes,’ Bruneau said. ‘Nobody has been able to crack it and make a believable prediction.’ (Bruneau说：‘科学家们已经尝试了各种可能的方法来预测地震。’布鲁诺说。‘没有人能够破解它并做出可信的预测。’)”可推知，Bruneau认为科学家没有可靠的方法来预测地震。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Earthquake forecasting is one of the most ancient skills known to mankind. From ancient Greece to the present day, countless scientists have tried to develop tools to predict earthquakes. Their attempts usually focused on searching for reliable evidences of coming quakes. (地震预报是人类已知的最古老的技能之一。从古希腊到现在，无数的科学家试图开发预测地震的工具。他们的尝试通常集中在寻找可靠的地震前兆证据上.)”可知，文章说明了地震预报是古老的技能，解释了地震预报困难的原因以及地震预报的历史和方法等，故本文的主旨是地震预报方法。故选C项。

Determine what being a good person means to you personally. Some people think that being a good person is as simple as not doing harm to another. But it is not always about what you don’t do, but what you do for others. ____37____ You have to decide what you believe being a good person needs.
____38____ Try to understand that some have something better than you, but many have something much worse.

Being happy makes you a more positive person, which helps you put those positive vibes out into the world.
Be yourself. ____39____ Don’t try to be like somebody else; just be yourself and do good things as simply as you can. Being yourself helps you be a genuine person who can reflect positivity into the world. Staying true to yourself helps you find focus and understand your core values and what you find important.
Love yourself. Learn to love yourself in every way. Practice unconditional self-acceptance. The only way you can truly love others is to first have confidence and love yourself. What you do and what you believe must make you feel good as well as others. If you try to do things for others without taking care of yourself, you can end up resentful (感到愤恨的), angry, and negative. ____40____

Forty-three years seems like along time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance (认识的人). I have forgotten the name of the old lady to whom I delivered newspapers, but I can’t forget the lessons he taught me in forgiveness.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones on to the roof of the old lady’s house. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window of the house.
At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned and ran away quickly. I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.
She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window.
I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until dark and put the letter that I didn’t sign in her letterbox.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, I delivered the newspaper to her as usual. She gave me a warm smile and I grinned to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. When I was about to leave, she gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself to thank me for the newspaper. I was surprised to receive it, showing my gratitude at a loss. On arriving home, I couldn’t wait to open the bag and enjoy the delicious cookies happily, feeling as though I were floating in an ocean of joy.
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was stunned. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “You are an honest child. I’m proud of you.” It wasn’t until then that I realized that the old lady had already known the truth. She had been waiting for my reaction. So moved was I that I couldn’t contain myself, with tears welling in my eyes. From that day on, I told myself I was bound to be an honest and responsible person.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者回忆四十三年前的一个冬天，玩扔石头时不小心打破了老太太的窗户的年少的作者和朋友落荒而逃，但是后来想到老太太会挨冻，内疚的作者用三个星期省下了七美元的报纸派送费作为赔偿，和一封道歉信放进老太太的信箱里。第二天，作者给老太太送报纸时，收到老太太亲手做的饼干和一封信，老太太其实早就知道真相，她知道作者是诚实的孩子。通过此事，作者决定做一个诚实有责任心的人。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我像往常一样给她送报纸。”可知，第一段可描写作者送报纸时，老太太送给他一袋她亲手做的饼干，以感谢作者送报纸，作者回家后很开心地享用饼干。
②由第二段首句内容“吃了几块饼干后，我摸到了一个信封，把它从袋子里拿了出来。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现了袋子里有老太太写的便条，还有7美元的钱，这时才意识到老太太早就知道真相，作者因此决定做一个诚实又负责的人。
2.续写线索：送报纸得饼干——吃饼干发现信封——读便条知真相——感悟
