This is what volunteering has been since age-old. You go to a local NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and work on one of their projects. These projects can be as short as a few hours or as long as one year or longer. You may wish to spend your birthday at the local orphanage and that would be a one-day volunteering. But you may choose to teach them and thus visiting them regularly; making it a long-term association. Internship/Gap Year Volunteering More and more students are turning to volunteering with NGOs as their preferred internship and gap-year option. Working in the development sector provides valuable career experience and skills useful in placements (就业). Since in this case you will be working closely day-in and day-out with the NGO, it is important you research well before joining them. And more so if it’s in a foreign country. Voluntourism Volun-Tourism or volunteer travel is a great way of combining tourism and volunteering. It provides the unique opportunity to see a place as an insider; live with locals and get access to many behind-the-scene activities in an area. Before you plan a trip, search for NGOs and connect with them to explore how you can help in the amount of time that you have. You should also connect with other travelers on various forums such as Lonely Planet or Tripadvisor. Online Volunteering The world-wide-web has made geographical boundary non-existent in many respects! Online volunteering makes it possible to volunteer for different organizations in different countries from your home/office and at your convenience. Projects may involve helping with social media, website or designing some material, guiding youth, proof-reading articles, translations, etc. You can explore many opportunities at www.onlinevolunteering.org. 1. What does the author think of the name of Traditional Volunteering? A. It is an inappropriate name. B. It is an age-old name. C. It is a universal name. D. It is the most suitable name. 2. What is the advantage of Internship Volunteering? A. The career experience you get can help you find a job. B. You will have a good knowledge of the NGO. C. You can work more closely with the NGO. D. It gives you a lot of chances to go abroad. 3. What kind of volunteering activity suits you well if you like travel? A. Traditional Volunteering. B. Gap Year Volunteering. C. Voluntourism. D. Online Volunteering. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种不同类型的志愿活动，包括传统志愿活动、实习/间隔年志愿活动、志愿旅游和在线志愿活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Traditional Volunteering部分中“I couldn’t think of a better name.

Over the next six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding. 8. Why did the author decide to write a novel? A. Because she hated her previous jobs. B. Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so. C. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel. D. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A. She became less stubborn. B. She became more stubborn. C. She suddenly lost confidence. D. She gradually gained confidence. 10. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel? A. An agent who she signed with. B. A rights assistant she once worked with. C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents. D. A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant. 11. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer? A. Tough but rewarding. B. Interesting and smooth. C. Difficult but thrilling. D. Complicated and fruitless. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者大学毕业后尝试过许多不同的工作，但始终没有找到真正适合自己的；后来她决定写小说以满足自己内心的愿望，小说完成后从无人问津到开始出版，经历了一段漫长而艰难的过程，最终获得了成功，作者也因此成为了一名出版作家，找到自己的定位。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. ”（我决定试着满足一个内心深处的愿望，写一部小说。）可知，作者决定写小说是因为她想要追寻自己写小说的梦想。故选C。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”（但我不确定我是否能到那一步。）和“Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.”（我认为我的小说不可能出版，就把它搁在一边。）可知，作者对自己的小说没有信心，所以划线句是指“她突然失去了信心”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“ a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.”（一个出版商向我提供了一份出书的合同，而那个出版商正是我曾经工作过的那家出版社。）可知，作者曾经工作过的那家出版商同意出版她的第一本小说。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由全文内容可知，作者的小说从无人问津到最终的出版经历了一段漫长而艰难过程；根据最后一段“to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding.”（成为一个出版作家——是难以置信的回报。）可知，作者成为出版作家的这段经历是非常值得的，即“艰难而值得”。故选A。 D Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky (挑剔的) eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old boy after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency (缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.” The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr. Denize Atan. “That means he can’t drive and would find it really difficult to read, watch TV or recognize faces.” Dr. Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned, she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating, and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement (补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet.” she said. “Too many certain vitamins, including vitamin A, can be harmful, so you don’t want to overdo it. 12. What does Dr. Denize Atan mean in paragraph 1? A. The cause of the boy’s disease was unknown. B. Fruit and vegetables are not rich in vitamins. C. Picky eating is common among teenagers. D. The diet of the boy was not balanced. 13. Why did the boy go to see his doctor at the age of 14? A. To improve his poor diet. B. To be treated for his discomfort. C. To get some help to lose weight. D. To slow down his progressive sight loss. 14. What made Dr. Denize Atan surprised so much according to paragraph 3? A. The teenager was unable to watch TV or recognize faces. B. The teenager suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency. C. The teenager lacked a lot of minerals in his body. D The teenager did not stick with the treatment. 15. What is Dr. Denize Atan’s suggestion on picking eating based on the last paragraph? A. The problem of picky eating is hard to deal with. B. Most people are not adapted to eating new foods. C. Taking in vitamins by having various kinds of foods. D. Taking multivitamin tablets can take the place of eating healthily. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了一名青少年因长期只吃薯条、薯片等单一食物，导致严重的维生素缺乏，进而出现视力下降甚至失明的情况。医生通过这个案例，警示人们极端挑食的风险，并给出了应对挑食问题的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.(他的饮食基本上是每天从当地炸鱼薯条店买一份薯条。他还经常吃薯片，有时吃白面包和火腿，几乎不吃任何水果和蔬菜)” 可知，男孩的饮食缺乏水果和蔬菜，营养不均衡。故选 D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell.(这名青少年 14 岁时去看医生，因为他一直感觉疲惫不适)” 可知，男孩 14 岁去看医生是为了治疗身体的不适。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age.(他既不超重也不体重不足，但他的骨骼流失了矿物质，这对他这个年龄的男孩来说真的很令人震惊)” 可知，让 Dr. Denize Atan 惊讶的是男孩身体缺乏大量矿物质。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“She said multivitamin tablets can supplement (补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet.” she said.(她说复合维生素片可以补充饮食，但不能取代健康饮食。“通过多样化和均衡的饮食摄入维生素要好得多”她说)” 可知，Dr. Denize Atan 建议通过吃各种食物来摄入维生素。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Career planning is not something that you do once and then forget.

What are your short-term (within a year) and long-term (within five to 10 years) career goals? You probably already know about SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. Always write them down and share the list with someone. ____18____ Another big part of career planning is reviewing and adjusting these goals on a regular basis and developing new goals once you accomplish (实现) your previous ones. ____19____ Explore new education or training opportunities.

Part of career planning is finding training opportunities that will help you further your career. ____20____This is free money and can be valuable in reaching your goals. A.

B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是制定职业规划的四个步骤。 【16题详解】 空前说“Career planning is not something that you do once and then forget. It’s an activity you should do at least once a year.(职业规划不是做一次就忘了的事。这是一项你应该每年至少做一次的活动。)”，根据空格下方的四个小标题可知，下文要讲制定职业规划的步骤，C选项“Here are four steps you can take to develop a career plan.(以下是制定职业规划的四个步骤。)”引出了下文的制定职业规划的四个步骤，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 空格处是小标题，由空格下方的内容“Our likes and dislikes change over time, so it’s always a good idea to reflect on what you feel strongly about in your life and career. Make a list of what you like and dislike about your job.(我们的好恶会随着时间的推移而改变，所以反思一下你在生活和职业中强烈的感受总是一个好主意。列出工作中你喜欢和不喜欢的地方。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要反思在工作中喜欢什么，不喜欢什么，D选项“Reflect on what you like, dislike, need, and want from work.(反思你在工作中喜欢什么，不喜欢什么，需要什么，想要什么。)”概括了本段的内容，可作为本段小标题，故选D。 【18题详解】 空前说“You probably already know about SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) goals. Always write them down and share the list with someone.(你可能已经知道SMART（具体的，可衡量的，可实现的，相关的，有时间限制的）目标。一定要把它们写下来，并与他人分享。)”，B选项“This will help you to create a sense of accountability.(这将帮助你建立责任感。)”说明了空前所说的会带来的好的结果，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 空前说“Another big part of career planning is reviewing and adjusting these goals on a regular basis and developing new goals once you accomplish (实现) your previous ones.(职业规划的另一个重要部分是定期回顾和调整这些目标，并在完成之前的目标后制定新的目标。)”，G选项“So, each time you sit down to do some career planning, break out this list and review it.(所以，每次你坐下来做职业规划的时候，拿出这张清单并回顾一下。)”中的review和空前的reviewing相一致，说明要在做职业规划时回顾目标，因此G选项承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 空前说“Never miss a chance to learn and grow more as an employee and individual. Part of career planning is finding training opportunities that will help you further your career.(永远不要错过任何一个学习和成长的机会。职业规划的一部分是寻找能帮助你进一步发展职业的培训机会。)”，空后说“This is free money and can be valuable in reaching your goals.(这是免费的钱，对实现你的目标很有价值。)”，因此空格处应提到某种免费的培训机会，F选项“If your company offers professional development opportunities, take advantage of them.(如果你的公司提供职业发展机会，要好好利用。)”说明了公司提供职业发展机会，这是免费的，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I spent my teenage years on purpose avoiding eye contact with them — those untidy-looking people on the corner with a sign in their hand.

Every year youngsters write adorable notes addressed to Santa Claus, a town in Indiana and the only one to have a post office named after Santa Claus. She told him that Santa gets tons of letters from kids across the globe, so sometimes he isn’t able to get a kid everything on their list. In his little house, Jase was writing a letter to Santa excitedly and quickly: Dear Santa, I’m Jase. I went to school this year. I’ve done so many good things this year. Our teacher often praises me in class. I like reading books, especially the picture book you gave me last Christmas. There is a brave firefighter in the book. When I grow up, I also want to become a hero like him. Could you give me superpowers this year? Then I can be a superhero and save lives. I can be a firefighter! Please realise my wish! It’s amazing how you deliver presents every year to kids like me all over the world. Thank you so much. After his father helped him send the letter, he waited for a reply every day. Weeks later, it was finally Christmas. When he ran down the stairs, he saw many packages under a tall Christmas tree in the living room, like a small mountain. He immediately saw Lego set and stickers from his younger sisters, Milly and Rosie. He stopped dead before the tree, looking for his present. “A fire truck!” he shouted loudly. “Santa gave me superpowers! I’ll become a firefighter!” Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter. He was so happy that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. That evening, he couldn’t sleep. He took his truck down to the living room and drove it around. Suddenly, he felt something strange. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “There’s a fire!” Jase shouted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree. His parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the curtains on fire. The fire was spreading fast. “Mum! Dad! There’s a fire in our house!” he shouted as he rushed upstairs and woke up his sisters. Milly woke up and ran downstairs with him, but Rosie was asleep, so he carried her in his arms. He then put his sisters in the truck and rushed to his parents’ room. “What’s wrong, Jase?” his mum asked. “Wait, what’s that smoke?” “There’s a fire!” Jase shouted. The couple took the kids and rushed out of the house. They called 911, and firefighters arrived on the scene. Fortunately, Jase discovered it in time and avoided a terrible fire accident. One of the firefighters patted Jase’s shoulder and said, “Good job!” Jase smiled and said confidently, “I will become a real superhero like you in the future.” And today, Jase has helped several families from such events, and he’s indeed a superhero, a firefighter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述20年前，7 岁的Jase在妈妈鼓励下给圣诞老人写信，希望得到超能力成为消防员。圣诞节他收到消防车玩具，当晚玩玩具时发现圣诞树冒烟，一场危机即将来临。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他转过身时，他看到圣诞树冒出了烟。”可知，第一段可描写Jase 发现圣诞树冒烟后的行动。原来是父母忘熄灭蜡烛引发火灾，火势蔓延，Jase呼喊父母，冲上二楼叫醒妹妹，抱着睡着的Rosie，把妹妹们放进玩具消防车，又冲向父母房间告知情况，体现Jase面对火灾时的冷静和勇敢。 ②由第二段首句内容““着火啦！” Jase大声喊道。”可知，第二段可描写Jase喊出 “着火了” 之后的事。父母带着孩子们冲出房子并报警，消防员赶到，因 Jase及时发现避免严重事故，消防员表扬他，Jase自信表示将来要成为像他们一样的超级英雄，如今Jase成为消防员帮助了许多家庭，突出Jase梦想成真以及他的成长。 2.续写线索：发现冒烟 —— 告知父母并救妹妹 —— 喊出着火 —— 全家逃出报警 —— 消防员赶到表扬 Jase——Jase 梦想成真 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①熄灭：put out /extinguish ②呼喊：shout /yell ③冲：rush /dash 情绪类： ①自信地：confidently /self-assuredly ②幸运地： fortunately /luckily 【点睛】【高分句型 1】His parents had forgotten to put out some candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the curtains on fire.（运用了 which 引导的非限制性定语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】There’s a fire in our house!” he shouted as he rushed upstairs and woke up his sisters.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 兰州市第六十中字2024—2025学年第二学期期末试卷 高二英语 时间：120分钟 总分：150分 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择愿两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书与的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Who is going to pay for the meal?

This is what volunteering has been since age-old. You go to a local NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and work on one of their projects. These projects can be as short as a few hours or as long as one year or longer. You may wish to spend your birthday at the local orphanage and that would be a one-day volunteering. But you may choose to teach them and thus visiting them regularly; making it a long-term association. Internship/Gap Year Volunteering More and more students are turning to volunteering with NGOs as their preferred internship and gap-year option. Working in the development sector provides valuable career experience and skills useful in placements (就业). Since in this case you will be working closely day-in and day-out with the NGO, it is important you research well before joining them. And more so if it’s in a foreign country. Voluntourism Volun-Tourism or volunteer travel is a great way of combining tourism and volunteering. It provides the unique opportunity to see a place as an insider; live with locals and get access to many behind-the-scene activities in an area. Before you plan a trip, search for NGOs and connect with them to explore how you can help in the amount of time that you have. You should also connect with other travelers on various forums such as Lonely Planet or Tripadvisor. Online Volunteering The world-wide-web has made geographical boundary non-existent in many respects! Online volunteering makes it possible to volunteer for different organizations in different countries from your home/office and at your convenience. Projects may involve helping with social media, website or designing some material, guiding youth, proof-reading articles, translations, etc. You can explore many opportunities at www.onlinevolunteering.org. 1. What does the author think of the name of Traditional Volunteering? A It is an inappropriate name. B. It is an age-old name. C. It is a universal name. D. It is the most suitable name. 2. What is the advantage of Internship Volunteering? A. The career experience you get can help you find a job. B. You will have a good knowledge of the NGO. C. You can work more closely with the NGO. D. It gives you a lot of chances to go abroad. 3. What kind of volunteering activity suits you well if you like travel? A. Traditional Volunteering. B. Gap Year Volunteering. C. Voluntourism. D. Online Volunteering. B In recent news, DeepSeek, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) company, has made significant progress in developing advanced AI models. These models are designed to help people in various fields, such as education, healthcare, and technology. According to the company, their latest AI system can understand and process human language more accurately than ever before. This breakthrough could change the way we interact with technology in the future. DeepSeek’s new AI model, called DeepSeek-V3, is particularly good at reading and analyzing text.

They worry that machines might replace human jobs or make decisions without considering ethical issues (伦理问题). DeepSeek has responded to these concerns by promising to use AI responsibly and to always prioritize (优先考虑) human safety and well-being. Despite these challenges, DeepSeek remains optimistic about the future of AI. The company is continuing to improve its technology and hopes to make AI more accessible to everyone. As AI becomes more advanced, it could revolutionize (彻底改变) the way we live, work, and learn. 4. What is the main topic of the article? A. The history of DeepSeek. B.

C I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water(停滞不前), just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding. 8. Why did the author decide to write a novel? A. Because she hated her previous jobs. B. Because her parents and friends had encouraged her to do so. C. Because she wanted to pursue her own dream of writing a novel. D. Because she graduated from university with a good degree in English Literature. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A. She became less stubborn. B. She became more stubborn. C. She suddenly lost confidence. D. She gradually gained confidence. 10. Who agreed to publish the author’s first novel? A. An agent who she signed with. B. A rights assistant she once worked with. C. An agent who advised her to send her novel out to agents. D. A publisher who she once worked for as a rights assistant. 11. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s experience as a writer? A. Tough but rewarding. B. Interesting and smooth. C Difficult but thrilling. D. Complicated and fruitless. D Experts are warning about the risks of extreme picky (挑剔的) eating after a teenager living on a diet of chips and crisps developed lasting sight loss. Eye doctors in Bristol cared for the 17-year-old boy after his sight had gone to the point of blindness. Tests showed he had serious vitamin deficiency (缺乏). Dr. Denize Atan, who treated him at the hospital, said, “His diet was basically a portion of chips from the local fish and chip shop every day. He also used to snack on crisps and sometimes white bread and ham, and not really any fruit and vegetables.” The teenager saw his doctor at the age of 14 because he had been feeling tired and unwell. At that time he suffered from vitamin B12 deficiency, but he did not stick with the treatment or improve his poor diet. Three years later, he was taken to the Bristol Eye Hospital because of progressive sight loss. He was not overweight or underweight, but he had lost minerals from his bones, which was really quite shocking for a boy of his age. In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr. Denize Atan. “That means he can’t drive and would find it really difficult to read, watch TV or recognize faces.” Dr. Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned, she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating, and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement (补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet.” she said. “Too many certain vitamins, including vitamin A, can be harmful, so you don’t want to overdo it. 12.

Every year youngsters write adorable notes addressed to Santa Claus, a town in Indiana and the only one to have a post office named after Santa Claus. She told him that Santa gets tons of letters from kids across the globe, so sometimes he isn’t able to get a kid everything on their list. In his little house, Jase was writing a letter to Santa excitedly and quickly: Dear Santa, I’m Jase. I went to school this year. I’ve done so many good things this year. Our teacher often praises me in class. I like reading books, especially the picture book you gave me last Christmas. There is a brave firefighter in the book. When I grow up, I also want to become a hero like him. Could you give me superpowers this year? Then I can be a superhero and save lives. I can be a firefighter! Please realise my wish! It’s amazing how you deliver presents every year to kids like me all over the world. Thank you so much. After his father helped him send the letter, he waited for a reply every day. Weeks later, it was finally Christmas. When he ran down the stairs, he saw many packages under a tall Christmas tree in the living room, like a small mountain. He immediately saw Lego set and stickers from his younger sisters, Milly and Rosie. He stopped dead before the tree, looking for his present. “A fire truck!” he shouted loudly. “Santa gave me superpowers! I’ll become a firefighter!” Jase had learned at school that firefighters were true heroes who saved people from danger. So the little boy wished to be a firefighter. He was so happy that he spent the whole day driving his toy truck. That evening, he couldn’t sleep. He took his truck down to the living room and drove it around. Suddenly, he felt something strange. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When he turned around, he saw smoke from the Christmas tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “There’s a fire!” Jase shouted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
