• 2．A Pioneer For All People
     Being one of China's most famous scientists，Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice.He was the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output.This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields.Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.
     Born in 1930，Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953.Since then，finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal.As a young man，he saw the great need for increasing the rice output.At that time，hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside.Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields.
     Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India，Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life.However，he doesn't care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research.He would much rather keep time for his hobbies.He enjoys listening to violin music，playing mahjong，swimming and reading.
     Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed，he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.
     Now，Dr Yuan has another dream：to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe.One dream is not always enough，especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.
  
  （1）What is Yuan Longping's life goal？

  
  A．Increasing rice harvest.
  B．Ridding the world of wars.
  C．Selling rice to earn money.
  D．Becoming a famous scientist.

  A．He is unhappy with his life.
  B．He has many various hobbies.
  C．He is not free to do his research.
  D．He has little time for his family.
  （3）How can we describe Yuan Longping？

  
  A．Successful but poor.
  B．Wise and wealthy.
  C．Generous and caring.
  D．Quite and creative.
  （4）What's the author's purpose of writing the text？

  C．To show how to plant rice as much as possible.

• 3．Blue Planet Ⅱ's latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a devastating effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures.Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth，the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs.Indeed，the oceans are drowning in plastic.
     Though it seems now that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics，consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention.The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s，the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States.This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change.Plastics pollution research，for instance，is still a very early science.
     We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be.What we do know，though，is disturbing.Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year.Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones，are known to have been affected by it.One in three leatherback turtles，which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish，have been found with plastic in their bellies.Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis.By 2050，that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
     And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas.Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat.I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster，worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change.But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change.There are no ocean trash deniers，at least so far.To do something about it，we don't have to remake our planet energy system.
     This is not a problem where we don't know what the solution is.We know how to pick up garbage.Anyone can do it.We know how to dispose of it.We know how to recycle.We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products.Things that may seem ordinary，like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag—when taken collectively really do make a difference.
  
  （1）Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science？

  
  A．The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
  B．Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
  C．The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.
  D．Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
  （2）How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3？

  
  A．He presented statistics.
  B．He cited quotes from leading experts.
  C．He used examples from his own experience.
  D．He used the strategy of comparison and contrast.
  （3）What can we infer about climate change？

  
  A．Climate change is caused by human activities.
  B．Some people cast some doubts about climate change.
  C．Climate change is less important than ocean pollution.
  D．Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change.
  （4）What is the main idea of this passage？

  
  A．Ocean plastic is a global issue.
  B．Blue Planet Ⅱ has left viewers heartbroken.
  C．The oceans become choked with plastic.
  D．Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.

      From the time when I was a child，my mother made it clear that she did not like nursing homes（敬老院）.I remember her saying that nursing homes were terrible places.Whenever my mother mentioned the topic.jye.ai would shake her finger at me and add a warning："If you put me in one of those places，I'll not forgive you! "I knew my mother's wishes and wanted to obey.
      Fortunately，my mother lived near me，and for many years it was easy to check on her and help with her care.But with each passing year，my mother experienced a decline in her physical and mental abilities.After ninety，when she was diagnosed with dementia（老年癡呆癥） ，she needed more assistance with the normal activities of daily living and required close observation just for her own safety.
      During the passage of time，I，too，was getting older，I had my own mobility（移動(dòng)性） issues and health concerns，As the days passed，it became clearer that some changes were needed.If I had to go out for groceries（食品雜貨），I couldn't leave her alone.When I slept，my mother was un-watched，and she could get out of bed and wander off.
      Fortunately，while I was figuring out what to do，a brand-new nursing home was built in our town，I toured the nursing home and discovered that they could provide a private room for my mother.They also had staff members that were very professional and well-trained，I tried to convince myself that the new nursing home was the best and safest place for my mother，but I seemed to hear my mother's words and see her finger shake in front of my eyes.
  注意：
  1.所續(xù)寫(xiě)短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.續(xù)寫(xiě)部分分為兩段，每段的開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)已為你寫(xiě)好；
