They canprovide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show detailsabout animal behavior.However, wild cameras have theirproblems too.Animals such aswolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the resultof anger or interest.Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look foranimals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the camcras that way.Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool inresearching wild animals.8.What does the underlined word "document" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Remind.B. Enrich.C. Appreciate.D. Record.9. Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras?A. They cannot be left in the wild over a long period.B. They cannot be placed in hard-to-rcach areas.c.

It helps hunters find animals easily.C. lt is hard to achieve careful planning.D. It makes animals interested in the cameras.11. What is the authors attitude towards wild cameras?A.Doubtful.B. Positive.c. Uncertain.D.Uncaring.Have you ever thought about why malls,restaurants, and even theaters have music? Well, tounderstand this,you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in theseplaces. Music is known to improve the mood of people.Often music helps us pay attention towhat we are doing.Music hclps paticents fecl good and hclps them recover fastcr and bctter.Depression（沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. Thereare some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything isgetting worse and we have no control over our life.Studics have shown that music can be animportant mood lifter in such situations.Music also plays a great role in making us feel lessnervous or worried.Anxiety(焦虑)can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language anotherperson is speaking, but most of us respondto music in the same way. Music can often be thebest way to connect with someone.Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kindof music you listen to. While happy music can cerlainly make you feel beter, sad music canfurther lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot morepowerful, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long way. If youwant to use music to change the way how you are feeling,you need to understand the role ofit, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Onceyou realize the kind of music you can use,you can use it to change the way you feel.Theright kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.12.

Many parents are alsogetting ready for work, helping their children and preparing food forlunches.16..But that maybe a big mistake for students, whether at home, on the way to school or at school, eatingsonething healthy for breakfast may help a student get belter grades.17. ？The answer is yes. Experts at Healthy Children org. say that in the United Statesabout 8 to 12 percent of all studlents in gradle school (Kindergarten through Sth grade) do not eatbreakIast.

Devi looked through the observation window at the kids below, all waiting in line to get into the pool. She turned to her mother with a furious frown on her face. “Mom, they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is ridiculous!”“I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!”Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather’s farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons. The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the alligator pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new jo b in the city, and Devi faced a new challenge—school field trips to the local pool.The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming? Devi confidently slipped into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and grabbed the ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyone’s going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself in a panic.On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench, paralyzed with fear. She huddled with a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, hermother noticed right away that Devi was upset. “Honey, I’ve signed you up for Angela’s swimming lessons at the local pool. Soon you’ll learn how to swim just like everyone else,” she assured Devi, showing photos of Angela with her prize-winning students.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150 左右；2. 每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson.Paragraph 2Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself.【答案】Paragraph 1Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson. She dragged her feet to the side of the pool and sat down, in doubt whether lessons would be helpful. Scanning around, Devi spotted her instructor across the pool, together with the little kids who jumped into the water like fish leaping into the ocean. She watched in amazement. Envious as Devi was, a flush of embarrassment soon crept to her cheeks when a little girl passed by, asking her not to be scared. How embarrassing! She hung her head.Paragraph 2Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. Devi was astonished to be made aware that Angela had never learned swimming until she was 20. Greatly inspired, Devi now regained hope. She entered the pool a second time in the company of Angela, several cheerful kids floating near to cheer her on. Devi began to feel more at ease, her movement less stiff and her breath more even. With a grateful heart, Devi realized that she might not be a fearless swimmer, but she would sure have fun trying.【解析】【分析】本文讲述了黛维因为学业和在农场帮助祖父而一直没有时间去游泳，妈妈给黛维在当地找了游泳池学习游泳，黛维初次学习的时候感觉很自信，但是真正进入到水里的时候发现游泳比想象中难，不小心呛水的黛维觉得自己很尴尬，恐惧去学游泳，这时黛维的母亲给她报了一个游泳班。

In 1995 I broke my left foot on a bike ride. Luckily, I could still drive, so I continued my life with crutches (拐杖). One Sunday I drove to a picnic in a forest preserve an hour from my home, in my comfortable, but uncertain, white car.
After some months, there was an emergency situation in the company.One of the restaurants was short of employees because of a sudden resignation (辞职），so they were short on people to do other chores around the place and cook food fast.

There are now well over 1,000 colleges and universities that don’t require SAT or ACT scores in deciding whom to admit, a number that is growing every year. 61 new study finds that scores on these tests are of little value in predicting students’ performance in college, and 62 (raise) the question: Should those tests be required at all?When a college considers test-optional admissions policies, the first 63 (react) people feel is that the college will admit less 64 (qualify) students. Actually, more students from diverse backgrounds 65 (admit) to colleges abolishing test scores and students graduate at a higher rate. 66 , some researchers question the impact the policies have had 67 schools. They argue that 68 the study is showing can’t prove test scores can be an obstacle for students. But two years’ worth of data clearly indicate that students who go into university with high test scores perform no better than 69 (they) fellow students. So the70 (add) value of test scores in predicting performance is minimal.If a college wants to do a better job serving traditionally under-served populations, test optional policies can provide a very useful tool. 第二节(共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)61.

Twenty years ago, I was at a party, talking to a man whose name I have long since forgotten. Sometimes I think this man came into my life for the unique purpose of telling me this story, one about how brave, creative and trusting his brother was, which has delighted and inspired me ever since. For the purpose of this story, let's call the little brother Little Brother.Little Brother, a young painter, went to France to surround himself with beauty and inspiration. He lived on the cheap, painted every day, visited museums, traveled to picturesque places, bravely spoke to everyone he met, and showed his work to anyone who would look at it. One afternoon, he struck up a conversation at a cafe with a group of charming young people who turned out to be some fancy nobles. They took a liking to Little Brother and invited him to a party that weekend in a castle in the Loire Valley. They said this was going to be the party of the year. It would be attended by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all it was a masquerade ball （化妆舞会）where nobody would hesitate in their spending on the costumes. “Dress up,” they said, “and join us!”Excited, Little Brother worked all week on a costume that he was certain would be highly impressive. He held back on neither the details nor the imagination of this creation. Then he rented acar and drove three hours to the castle. He changed into his costume in the car and went up the castle steps. Little Brother entered the ballroom, head held high.Upon arrival, he immediately realized his mistake.This was indeed a costume party—his new friends had not misled him there—but he had missed one detail in translation: Thi s was a themed costume party. The theme was “a medieval （中世纪的）court”. And Little Brother was dressed as a lobster （龙虾）.All around him, the wealthy and beautiful were dressed in fancy clothes, wearing sparkling jewels.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ _________________________________________ He took a deep breath and walked onto the dance floor.________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________ _________________________________________ 【答案】All around him, the wealthy and beautiful were dressed in fancy clothes, wearing sparkling jewels. Little Brother, on the other hand, was wearing a red coat, red tights, red ballet slippers, and giant red claws. Also, his face was painted red. He stood at the top of the steps for one long, frightful moment. Running away in shame seemed like the easiest response. But he didn't run. Somehow, he found his determination. He'd come this far, after all. He'd worked really hard to make this costume, and he was proud of it.He took a deep breath and w alked onto the dance floor. Ashe moved into the crowd, a silence fell.“I am the court lobster," Little Brother bowed deeply and announced. Then: laughter. Not ridicule- -just joy.They loved him. They loved his sweetness, his weirdness (怪诞)，his giant red claws, and his skinny legs in his bright tights. He made the party. Sometimes its like that. What you absolutely must not do is walk out; otherwise you will miss the party.【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

续写的词数应为150左右。
Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked, "Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was.“Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience,” she added.
“I'm sorry, Ms. Sara,” I replied. “I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid
doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Ms. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice myscript. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed. My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.
Paragraph1:
Soon, it was my turn to talk.________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, results were announced after the contest. _____
参考答案Possible version:
Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in an expressionless voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end, I walked off the stage, my eyes filled with tears.
Finally, results were announced after the contest.I didn't win any prizes not even a consolation one. It was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I now regretted being so arrogant. I had learmed my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the two sayings, "Pride goes before a fall."and "Practice makes perfect."
