I,阅读理解
Mosquitoes can carry various diseases and
one of the most popular is dengue(登革热).
Dengue is caused by any one of the four related
viruses spread by mosquitoes,because of which
numerous Filipinos died.One of the easiest ways
to prevent mosquitoes is to use repellents.In the
market,there are many commercial mosquito re-
pellents available.The commonly used repellent
in the Philippines is quite unaffordable.Mean-
while,it contains chemicals that may cause irrita-
tion(刺激).These account for why researchers
seek to develop an alternative mosquito repellent.
The researchers plan to use natural compo-
nents.Since the component is natural,the new
mosquito repellent to be made from it is effective
yet inexpensive and poses no risks to health or
environment.One of the major components being
explored is from lemongrass.
Lemongrass has natural anti-microbial fea-
tures,suitable for use on various types of skin in-
fections,usually as a wash,and is especially ef-
fective on skin diseases.It has mosquito repelling
effects and is used to make a mosquito repellent.
In using this product,you will spray it over all
exposed skin areas.Contact with eyes should be
avoided.If irritation occurs,wash off immediate-
ly and discontinue using.The very importance of
this product is to prevent the spread of multiple
diseases caused by mosquito bites.The new mos-
quito repellent containing lemongrass extract
取物)also helps control the outbreak of other in-
sect-borne diseases such as Malaria,Lyme Dis-
ease and West Nile Fever.After all,lemongrass
is a popular plant found commonly in the country
and its extract is used for medicinal and food
products.
The new study is significant because there's an
increasing number of deaths concerning mosquitoes.
While there are alternative solutions,Filipinos
cannot deny their brothers and sisters living in
poverty cannot afford to buy repellents.Yet,
currently the researchers aim to test how effective
their natural product is in repelling mosquitoes
within households.This initial study will evalu-
ate the product's effectiveness before further tri-
als in broader applications.

Ⅲ.读后续写
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I
saw an ad in the hotel.A nearby theater was
showing a documentary(纪录片)about several
local animal shelters that were helping to save
abandoned dogs across the country.I love ani-
mals,and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising
event.However,none of my co-workers would
go with me,and I was worried about walking on
the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in
my hotel room,but as soon as I got back to my
room I felt restless and bored.The theater where
the event was taking place was only about five
blocks from the hotel,and the area around the
hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous.So,I
decided to brave it.I gathered up my wallet and
room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets
were nearly deserted.I managed to find the street
the theater was on,but when I turned the cor-
ner,I stopped in shock.In front of the theater
were a group of bikers-very big,tough-looking
bikers.
I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts
and most are nice people.However,in this case,
I was a woman all alone,in a strange neighbor-
hood,at night,and there were twenty or so very
large men-all wearing insignia (that indi-
cated they were in some sort of club-standing
before me.Warning bells began to sound in my
head,and my heart was pounding.Was I at
the right theater?Had I misread the date of
the event?

第一部分人与自我
A sign outside the theater told me that I was
in the right place on the right evening.Neverthe-
less,I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel
instead of walking through that crowd of bikers.
I finally decided that I would be safer inside the
theater.Hopefully,the bikers would have gone
away by the time the film was over.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I hurried into the theater,only to find there
were even more bikers inside.
When the film began,I realized that the
bikers were an animal rescue group.
[参考范文]
I hurried into the theater,only to find there
were even more bikers inside.They were chatting
loudly and seemed to fill every corner of the
place.My heart sank even further.I quickly
found an empty seat in the back row,trying to
make myself as inconspicuous as possible.I
clutched my bag tightly,constantly glancing
around,praying that nothing bad would happen.
Every now and then,I peeked at the bikers,
wondering what they were doing here.Were they
going to cause trouble?The tension in the air
was palpable,and I regretted my decision to
come alone.
When the film began,I realized that the
bikers were an animal rescue group.They had
come to support the fundraiser for the local ani-
mal shelters.As the documentary unfolded,
showing the plight of the abandoned dogs,I saw
many of the bikers wiping away tears.They were
as moved as I was by the heartwarming and
heartbreaking stories.During the intermission,
some of them even came over to me,smiling
kindly and asking if I was enjoying the film.
Their tough exteriors hid big,soft hearts.I felt
ashamed of my initial fear and was truly grateful
that I had decided to come.We spent the rest of
the evening sharing our love for animals and dis-
cussing ways to help.
