     Maryland：Bengies Drive-In Theatre
     The 64-year-old Bengies （in Middle River） boasts the biggest movie theater screen in the states.It measures 52 feet high by 120 feet wide，which means films aren't cropped to fit the display.The Middle River business' season is longer than most as they open in early spring and don't close until late fall.

     Only 23 miles from Portland in Newberg，the drive-in has been in the same family since Grandpa Francis built it in 1953.Unlike many of its competitors，the 99 W rules allow folks to bring in outside food.
     Illinois：Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In
     Go green while going to the movies in Gibson City，Illinois.Although the entertainment complex got its start in 1954，the family in charge nowadays has started several eco-friendly initiatives（措施）since taking over in 1989 including installing（安裝）LED lighting，using recycled materials，and powering approximately 25 percent of their operations with solar and wind energy.

     Wilson Shankweiler opened the country's second drive-in in Pennsylvania in April 1934.Today，it stands as the oldest still-operating drive-in in the country.It is to be respected as it has lasted through changing technology，going from speakers on poles to digital projection（數(shù)碼投影）and sound in 2013，and survived 1955's Hurricane Diane.

• 2．Knotting his brows at some medical reports，one old man sensed a potential danger.On that day，59 citizens in Wuhan had caught pneumonia （肺炎） of unknown etiology.The phenomenon reminded him of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome （SARS） outbreak that had spread across China 17 years ago.It was he who had come up with an effective treatment for SARS.
     China's most respectable epidemiologist （流行病學家），84-year-old Zhong Nanshan，is widely known to the public as the hero who defeated SARS.After a lifetime researching respiratory diseases，he was keenly aware that the new pneumonia may not be a simple disease，but a Pandora's box that could engulf the world.
     Zhong grew up in a family of doctors，and lives by a simple motto：save lives and always be honest.In 2003，when SARS spread across China，he volunteered to treat patients，staying in hospital wards for weeks on end to study the disease.At the same time，he also spent countless nights in his lab looking for a cure for the deadly disease.His efforts paid off.Months later，his treatment plan for SARS was adopted by China and then the whole world，saving thousands of lives.
     Zhong is also known for an incident.When authorities announced that the virus had been brought under control，he publicly criticized the assessment，deciding instead to tell the public the truth.In one post-SARS interview，he said： "I couldn't help myself.I said it's not all under control." His virtue （美德） won widespread praise from the Chinese public，who hailed him as a hero.
     Seventeen years later，the old man is once again leading a team in a battle.Although this new virus is known to be particularly dangerous to the elderly，Zhong paid little attention to his own safety.On January 29，he and his colleagues spent over six hours on an online medical inquiry，checking five patients who were in critical condition.
     "The hospitals are our battlefield，and doctors and nurses are warriors.When we are needed，we should charge forward，because this is our duty!" said Zhong.
     As well as treating the patients，Zhong is also a messenger who delivers factual updates of COVID-19 to the public.Being unfamiliar with social medical platforms，he has asked colleagues to help him make videos aimed at calming fears about the virus and teaching the public how to prevent the disease，such as how to wash hands or wear a mask correctly.
     While praised as hero，Zhong told the media that Wuhan，the center of China's COVID-19 outbreak and where tens of thousands of citizens have been confined to their homes for weeks to prevent the spread of the disease，also deserves that honor.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "engulf" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Sweep over.
  B．Get over.
  C．Take over.
  D．Pull over.
  （2）What does the third and fourth paragraph mainly want to tell us？

  
  A．Zhong didn't hesitate to voice the truth.
  B．Zhong is a virtuous and honest doctor.
  C．Zhong's honesty was highly praised in China.
  D．Zhong and his team worked on end in the lab.
  （3）According to the passage，Zhong has done the following EXCEPT

  .
  A．educating people on COVID-19 prevention
  B．making great contributions to SARS treatment
  C．giving a daily check on COVID-19 patients
  D．inspiring doctors and nurses to charge forward like warriors
  （4）What does Zhong think of Wuhan？

  
  A．A Pandora's box.
  B．A city of heroes.
  C．A place full of secrets.
  D．A window for observation.

• 3．Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession（一連串，連續(xù)）.With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet，increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies，people can now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
     This behavior is nothing new.In fact，"binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015.The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it.Often，instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis，an entire series will become available concurrently.Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with "you might like suggestions，or will automatically play the next episode".
     However，recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back，almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result；and one quarter have neglected their household chores.Next we'll be missing work!
     Bingeing has other connections-binge eating，binge drinking and binge smoking.All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction.Lindsey Fussell，consumer group director，said："The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone，with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move." If people find binge-watching hard to resist，coupled with the fact that it has shown to lead to negligence in many，are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction？
     The countless of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is，many would say，a good thing.However，when the activity begins to bleed into other areas，causing us to stop functioning then it becomes a problem.So，what's the answer？Moderation!Neither a tiny amount，nor too much.After all，as the old proverb says， "A little of what you fancy does you good."
  
  （1）How did the writer develop the first paragraph？

  
  A．Listing some examples
  B．Telling a story
  C．Giving a definition
  D．Analyzing the cause and effect
  （2）Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in paragraph 2？

  
  A．similarly
  B．gradually
  C．naturally
  D．necessarily
  （3）What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that

  .
  A．people have no patience to do work
  B．people can't control their movements
  C．people are delighted to watch television
  D．people can't resist the temptation
  （4）What advice did the writer give at last？

      One never knows what one is going to find when one steps out into the world.Even something as simple as a walk through your neighborhood can result in either mild excitement or unusual adventure if the cards are right.
      On a sunny afternoon，Mike journeyed into the construction site near his home.Suddenly，he heard something coming from around the side of a nearby building.It sounded like the whining（悲嚎聲）cries of an animal.He curiously turned the corner，only to see a small dog standing on its back legs and wagging its tail pitifully.He then noticed that the poor thing seemed to be stuck at the waist between a small concrete wall and an even smaller broken wooden fence.
      The poor animal's difficult situation was pretty obvious and Mike knew that if he did nothing and left the dog there，it might not survive.He had no idea how long the animal had been there up until that point.It might not have eaten or drunk anything in days.Determined to help，he looked around to find a stick，proceeded to climb up onto the cement slab and pointed his stick back at the clog.He was trying to pry（撬動）above the animal by insert the stick between the cement wall and the smaller，broken wall，but the terrified animal obviously didn't know his intention and attempted to bite at the tool and barked at him fearfully.The fright in its eyes said everything.
      After at least a minute or so of trying to free the dog，Mike found his plan much more difficult in practice than it had stayed inside his own head.The hot sun was beating down.Drops of sweat running down his face，Mike sat clown on the ground and scratched his head with annoyance，thinking about what in the world his next move was going to be.Beside him，the dog curled up into a ball，whining miserably.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
      Paragraph 1：
      Then Mike went around to the other side of the wall and grabbed hold of the stick.______
