【写作提示】
Andrew喜欢按照自己的方式行事,对妈妈的要求总是说“一会儿再说”。在被指责抄袭朋友的作业后,Andrew希望妈妈能别再管他。根据续写第一、二段的首句,尤其是第二段中的ran downstairs, and called out for his mother可推测,第一段可描述Andrew的梦境,包括他情绪上的转变:一开始发现妈妈不在后并不在意,之后开始担心,最后感到后悔;第二段则可描述第二天醒来发现妈妈并未消失后,Andrew的反应和表现,以及最终他态度的转变。
One possible version:
That night, Andrew had a strange dream that his mother was missing. He walked downstairs and called out for her, but only silence answered him. At first, Andrew didn’t mind at all. He played video games and ate lots of snacks. As time passed, however, the video games grew boring, and he began to miss his mother. He searched everywhere but couldn’t find her. He finally felt worried. “I’m so sorry,” he said. “l didn’t mean for my mother to disappear. I wish for everything to go back to normal, please.”
The following morning, Andrew woke up, ran downstairs, and called out for his mother: He stopped on the landing as he caught sight of her. A smile spread across his face as he ran to hug her. “You’re back!” he cried. She laughed, holding him tight, and asked if he had had a bad dream. He shook his head as he hugged her tighter. Then she said, “Now, come on. Get ready for school or you’ll be late again.” “Later” was about to escape his mouth. However, he took a deep breath and said, “Okay! I’ll get ready now.”

The best apps for food waste
Too Good To Go
This fast-expanding(迅速扩大) platform was launched in 2016, and tackles food waste by making surplus(剰余的), unsold food from supermarkets, cafes and restaurants available to consumers at heavily discounted prices. There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price.
Olio
Founded in 2015, Olio claims to be the world’s biggest food-sharing network. It connects neighbours with each other so that surplus food is given, not thrown away. Olio users just take a picture of their items and add them to the listings. Neighbours receive customized messages and can request anything they like with pick-up arranged through private messaging.
Kitche
Kitche tackles food waste in the home by helping users to keep track of what they have bought and plan meals accordingly. Users scan receipts(收据) or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates.
NoWaste
NoWaste allows users to keep track of the food in their fridge and freezer, also by scanning shopping receipts. You can set the use-by dates for all your food, receive messages when they are close to the last date, and record shopping lists and meal plans. It will also tell you which food types you are wasting the most.
21. Which app enables users to buy food at really low prices?
A. Olio. B. Kitche. C. NoWaste. D. Too Good To Go
22. What can users do through Olio?
A. Buy unsold food from supermarkets.
B. Share surplus food with neighbours.
C. Find a “magic bag” of food from cafes.
D. Plan meals using available food items.
23. What do Kitche and NoWaste have in common?
A. Both can offer users online receipts after their shopping.
B. Both can advise users what to buy based on a recipe bank.
C. Both can remind users of foods’ use-by dates.
D. Both can tell users what food they waste the most.

20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter(垃圾) as he could fit in two buckets. Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance(维护), but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!
24. Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned?
A. To describe what made Edgar famous.
B. To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles.
C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project.
D. To discuss why Edgar started exploring the national forest.
25. Which of the following can best describe Edgar?
A. Determined and caring. B. Creative and influential.
C. Talented and productive. D. Adventurous and sociable.
26. What is Edgar’s next plan?
A. Encouraging others to join in his cleanup.
B. Making a journey to clean Eaton Canyon.
C. Cleaning up other parts of the national forest.
D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter.
C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement.
C
Last week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres coined a new term. The time of global warming has ended, he announced, and the time of “global boiling” has arrived.
You can see why he said it. July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and serious wildfires have swept across the Northern Hemisphere. Oceanic heatwaves are damaging the world’s third largest coral reef(珊瑚礁) off Florida. And as the levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase, it means many even hotter summers lie ahead.
But critics(批评者) have strongly disagreed with the phrase. At one level, “global boiling” is clearly an overstatement, but “global warming” is now far too weak a description. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis(危机)” haven’t received enough attention. That’s because many of us still feel we haven’t seen this crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many countries. Australia’s Black Summer brought wildfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both droughts and floods. Terrible droughts have hit the Horn of Africa for many years. India has stopped rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Critics of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses deeply impactful phrases, he’s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood style disaster. What he’s hoping is to make people listen---and act---now we can see what climate change looks like.
Are there better phrases to describe this? Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: can you think up a brief, correct phrase to cover worsening local-and regional-scale(区域级的) droughts, fires, typhoons and floods; damage to crops and food safety; water shortages; existential threats to coral reefs and low-lying communities? You can see how hard it is.
28. What made Guterres use the phrase “global boiling”?
A. The reviews from critics. B. The new scientific findings.
C. The present serious situation. D. The future course of climate change.
29. Why did such phrases as “climate crisis” fail to attract our attention?
A. None of these phrases reflect the truth.
B. Fewer crises have happened in recent years.
C. Many phrases haven’t been mentioned publicly.
D. Certain climate disasters haven’t happened to us.
30. What does the author try to say by using “But that is changing”?
A. But climate crises are deepening. B. Bur several crises will be solved.
C. But people will face food shortages. D. But people are taking effective measures.
31. What does the author think of Guterres’ saying “global boiling”?
A. It is beyond reality. B. It is just to frighten people.
C. It is reasonably acceptable. D. It is just to comfort the public.
D
In conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we’ve discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.
In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers’ findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener”. After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason why people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.
Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.
Research like ours can help people gain a more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations.

How to overcome procrastination
Procrastination(拖延), which is when you put off tasks that you should be focusing on, can stop even the most promising career in its tracks. It can reduce the quality of your work, lead you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. ___36___
First, it’s important to recognize when you’re procrastinating. You might spend a lot of your time working on low-priority(低优先级) tasks from your to-do list. Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. ___37___
___38___Are you overwhelmed(压垮) by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin?
Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some ways to overcome it. ___39___ If you’re procrastinating because of disorganization, take time to prioritize your to-do list and then focus on one task at a time. Or if you’re procrastinating because of perfectionism, ask yourself how perfect the work actually has to be.
And don’t forget to reward yourself. For example, have a coffee once you’ve completed a task that you’ve been putting off. ___40___
Remember, it can take a while to overcome a bad habit and establish a new routine, so don’t give up.
A. It’s a common problem, which can cause many issues.
B.The next step is to think about why you’re procrastinating.
C. The good news is: there’s a lot you can do to overcome this bad habit.
D. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to act on what you’ve learned.
E. Everyone is different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project.
F. Not only is this motivational, but you’ll realize how good it feels when you actually finish things.
G. If you’re not motivated to get started, think about all of the unpleasant consequences of not completing this task.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every day, Andrew would do everything his own way. If his mother asked him to do something, he would shout “Later” and continue with whatever he was doing.
One day, Andrew came home from school. He grabbed (抓) an armful of snacks from the kitchen, and then played video games until the sun set. The room started to grow dark. The only light came from the TV, which produced a loud noise.
“Andrew!” his mother shouted from the kitchen. “Dinner’s ready!”
“Later!” he called back.
Later arrived, and Andrew’s mother walked into his room, carrying a plate of food for his dinner. She stopped suddenly just inside the door.
“Andrew, can you clean up this mess?” his mother pointed to the empty snack bags on the sofa.
“Later!” he shouted.
His mother let out a sigh (叹气) as she began to tidy up the mess.
The next day, Andrew came home feeling angry and frustrated(沮丧的) because he had difficulties with a test at school. He decided to treat himself to a piece of cake. Just as Andrew was about to eat the cake, his mother called him from the other room. He sighed, dropped his cake, and made his way to where his mother was waiting.
The envelope (信封) Andrew had just brought home was open. His mother looked serious, with a letter in her hand. She pointed for him to sit next to her. “Andrew, we need to talk about something that happened at school. I’ve read this letter from your teacher. She says you’ve been copying your friend’s work.”
Andrew said, “Well, he lets me copy from him!”
His mother sighed but then gave him a small smile.“It’s okay, Andrew. Look, if you’re finding it difficult, I can help. Let’s start tonight, okay?”
Andrew jumped to his feet. “Later!” he shouted and rushed off to his bedroom. Later that night, Andrew couldn’t get to sleep. Why did everyone always expect him to do things their way? Why wouldn’t they let him do what he wanted? He wished that everyone would leave him alone.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
