I asked as we hugged.Esther said she called my office and knew I wasn't working there anymore, so she came to see me.I gave her a warm welcome and led her into my room.Upon arriving,she told me urgently,"Hearing the news that you were fired from the work,I felt greatly worried.I know you are raising a big family and bearing a large life financial pressure. So I come here and give the gifts for you and Kristil.She said as she kissed me on the cheek. While saying,she handed me a big package and a Christmas card. Paragraph 2: When I opened the envelope,inside I found some money and a note.Into the package placed a doll and a large envelope.I tore the envelope carefully and hundred-dollar bills poured onto the floor.Tears of gratitude puddled in my eyes as I picked up the precious gift,which could help me get through the tough time and buy the Christmas tree that I promised to give my daughter.Feeling gratitude,I hugged Esther tightly and thanked her sincerely.

As we all know,learning methods are very important to every student.Usually a good learner gets twice the result with half the effort. Now I'd like to share my opinions about learning methods with you. Firstly,to be a good learner,you should have a good study plan and you have to sum up what you have learned often.Secondly,you can solve problems with the help of reference books such as a dictionary.And you ought to seize every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources.For example,you can ask teachers or your classmates for help when you meet with some difficulties.Finally,it would be a good idea if you try to preview your new lessons,listen to the teachers carefully in class and go over the old lessons on time.There are other methods that might help you with your study,but remember that diligence and good methods are the key to success. 第二节 【参考范文】 Paragraph 1: I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily.I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face.He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus.He said happily that he would share some of the gifts of his and allow me to choose one from them.I thanked him from the bottom of my heart,still feeling disappointed.

Researchers from the University of Leipzig in Germany gathered more than 1,000 retired workers who were over age 75 and assessed the volunteers'memory and thinking 部 skills through a battery of tests.Then,for eight years,the scientists asked the same group to come back to the lab every 18 months to take the same sorts of tests. 煮 Those who had held mentally stimulating ()demanding jobs before retirement tended to do the best on the tests.And they tended to lose cognitive (function at a much slower rate than those with the least mentally challenging jobs.The results held true even after the scientists accounted for the participants'overall health status. 恝 "This works just like physical exercise,"says Francisca Then,who led the study. "After a long run,you may feel like you're in pain,you may feel tired.But it makes you fit. t After a long day at work-sure,you will feel tired,but it can help your brain stay healthy. It's not just corporate jobs,or even paid work that can help keep your brain fit.Then points out.A waiter's job,for example,that requires multitasking,teamwork and decision- making could be just as stimulating as any high-level office work.And "running a family 荪 household requires high-level planning and coordinating(协调)，”she says.“You have to organize the activities of the children and take care of the bills and groceries." Of course,our brains can decline as we grow older for lots of reasons-including other environmental influences or genetic factors.Still,continuing to challenge yourself mentally and keeping your mind busy can only help. e 21.Why did the scientists ask the volunteers to take the tests? ☒ A.To assess their health status.

"Yes,sir,"she replied,her dark eyes meeting his."I wouldn't have dared to ask you,but my teacher,Mr.Mills,says I am ready.I plan to make it in an admirable manner.” President Lincoln smiled."Painters,sculptors-they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face,but I'm afraid there's not much hope.What did you have in mind,Miss Ream?A bust(半身像)？” Before Vinnie could say yes,the President hurried on,a shade of apology in his voice. "Of course-I shouldn't have asked.A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size." Vinnie's face turned red.She realized she looked like a child,with her tiny figure. "Small does not mean weak,sir,"she defended herself."I was born in the country of Wisconsin.I've driven teams of horses and carried water.Making a full-length clay() figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!" The President's eyes,brightened at her show of spirit."Sorry,madam,I have underestimated you as I didn't know your background." But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers,in thought."Miss Ream,"he sighed,"I'd like to let you do it,but as you know,we are in the middle of a war.How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now?I hardly have a minute to myself..” Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office."I work quickly,"she said.Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows."If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon,I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk. The President seemed to consider her idea seriously.He got up and shook Vinnie's hand warmly,"I've heard that you are a talented young woman,and I have found you charming and intelligent as well.I cannot make my decision immediately,but you will hear from me soon.” The very next day,Vinnie received an invitation from the President. —26 24.What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?

I always read,using different voices,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it!It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books. Now,I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation. As a novelist,I've found a new relationship with libraries.I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven (for readers and writers,a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book.

Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition (after controlling for differences in parents'income,education and the amount of parent talk,Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. "The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate (and translate shapes,"Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time.Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently,and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills.However,boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 32.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A.Building confidence. B.Developing spatial skills. C.Learning self-control. D.Gaining high-tech knowledge. 33.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment? A.Parents'age. B.Children's imagination. C.Parents'education. D.Child-parent relationship. 28 34.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play? A.They play with puzzles more often. B.They tend to talk less during the game. C.They prefer to use more spatial language. D.They are likely to play with tougher puzzles. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.A mathematical method. B.A scientific study. C.A woman psychologist. D.A teaching program. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 A lot of people may feel puzzled about viewing art,for it is generally thought to be too abstract and professional.36 Try these tips next time you're viewing art and see if you can transform your experience. Spend time with art.If you only take a moment to consider a work of art,you'll only generate a moment's opinion.37 Art lets you put life on pause.That's one of its greatest aspects.Even if it's just for a few moments,stop worrying about what you need to do next or where you need to be and really dive into the artwork. Determine the basics.When you're first encountering an artwork,identify the basic information about it.If it's a painting,see if you can figure out the type of paint used. When possible,identify the artist,when they created it,and whether it is a still life or a landscape.38 Recognize your feelings.Recognize your feelings as you first view the art.39 Is it natural and unintentional?How does it affect your feelings?This subjective ( response is a more immediate reaction,but it is worth regarding,because art is about the artist communicating and expressing ideas. 40 Art is subjective,so finding what you like and don't like about a work of art is a key factor to better understanding it.If you don't like a certain style,don't worry- there is something out there for everyone,from Abstract Expressionism to Photorealism. A.Do some homework. B.Find your likes and dislikes. C.Is the artwork forceful and dramatic? D.Is there a right or a wrong way on how to view art? E.However,it doesn't mean you can't view art if you're not an art expert. F.These simple observations can help you gain a better understanding of the artwork.

When Christmas morning came,I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face."Dad, Merry Christmas!"was all my younger son had time to say.He seemed to be racing against time.I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly.I got downstairs just to see the two little boys'faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them.I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus.At first,their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection had been completed,the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room. Delight flooded the room.As their mother began giving out gifts,I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received.With so many Christmas spent outside,I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places.But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them.They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires.But I had not received a single one.I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.至少使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好： 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily.
