When she approached the pup,she discovered that she wasn’t alone——she was cuddling five orphaned black kittens to keep them warm.
The dog surely could have found a safer place to stay for the night,but she chose instead to help not just herself but other stray animals as well.
The Good Samaritan called Pet and Wildlife Rescue and an animal control officer picked them up.When they got to the shelter,it was apparent that a close bond had already been formed between the dog and the orphaned kittens.The staff decided to name the kind dog Serenity in honor of her selfless act.
“It’s truly heartwarming!”a shelter spokesperson told The Dodo.“It had been a very cold night so these kittens would have had a very hard time surviving.”
Aside from requiring treatment for worm and flea infections,the orphaned kittens are now safe.Just like a proud and doting mother,Serenity insisted on checking on her babies regularly to oversee their progress.
The good news is that the kittens are now living with a foster family who will care for them until they are old enough to be adopted.Serenity,on the other hand,is still looking for a family.
According to the shelter,she loves zooming around in the yard and is big on playlng.She is also quite jumpy,so she would do best in a home without small children.

3.Mr. Fang is now the owner of 56 greenhouses producing organic vegetables in the Gobi desert in Northwest China’s Gansu province. He is one of the beneficiaries of the Gobi Farming Program of Gansu province that is building rows of greenhouses in the desert to help transform local farming and alleviate poverty.
Grain production in Gansu is greatly affected by the climate and the output is unstable. Agricultural production there relies heavily on rivers, oases and groundwater irrigation. If traditional extensive agricultural production continued, it could gradually narrow the living space.
In 1995, a local entrepreneur ventured to use Israeli technologies to build greenhouses for vegetables growing in the desert. Such individual pilot projects encouraged the Gansu government to launch a provincial-level Gobi farming program in 2017 with a target to build up a controlled-environment agriculture of about 20,000 hectares by 2022. Some cities in the province, which include Fang’s village, have already been experimenting with Gobi farming for several years.
Despite the harsh environment, farming in the Gobi desert has its advantages: the extended amount of sunlight provides adequate energy for crops, a significant temperature difference between day and night helps crops accumulate nutrients and the Gobi’s hot and dry air means fewer pests and crop diseases. The Gobi greenhouses popping up in Gansu use drip and spray irrigation, which can cut water consumption by almost 50 percent compared to a normal farm. The greenhouses are also eco-friendly, as they use substrates for soilless cultivation recycled from rotten leaves, straw and cow and sheep feces.
With the greenhouses, Fang earns around 70,000 yuan annually. Data from Suzhou, district of Jiuquan showed the greenhouse program has helped bring an average revenue of about $ 72,500 per
- 19 -
hectare to local farmers. Large scale greenhouse farming is an investment-intensive project and cannot be sustained only by government financial support. Therefore, the local government has been encouraging villagers such as Fang to take the lead to rent greenhouses or build their own.
It is not an easy task, and many villagers still want to wait and see. However, more and more are starting to join in, either to run their own greenhouses or work as hired workers for greenhouse owners. Starting from managing four greenhouses in 2009, Fang now is also a partner of a greenhouse farming cooperative running 120 greenhouses.
The relatively low cost of large-scale land use in the Gobi desert have also encouraged large firms to start their Gobi farming pilot projects in Gansu. If the Gobi farming proves successful, it could provide experiences for countries in Central Asia linked with Gansu both by the ancient Silk Road as well as its modern version of the Belt and Road Initiative.
1.What affects grain production in Gansu most?
A.Money. B.Sunlight. C.Air D.Water
2.What does the Gobi Farming Program aim to do?
A.Change the local climate.
B.Make the local residents rich.
C.Protect the traditional agricultural production.
D.Help university students start their own business.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.The harsh environment is good for crops .
B.At first, Fang only ran four greenhouses.
C.With the greenhouses, Fang earns around $ 70,000 annually.
D.Mr. Fang now owns 120 greenhouses producing organic vegetables.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Belt and Road Initiative
B.A Great Adventurer — Mr. Fang
C.The Gobi Farming Program of Gansu
D.The Advantages of Farming in the Gobi Desert

4.Many studies have shown how playing video games can lead to structural changes in the brain, including increasing the size of some regions, or to functional changes, such as activating the areas responsible for attention. New research from the University at Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has gone further to show how cognitive(认知的)changes can take place even years after people stop playing.
The study involved 27 people between the ages of 18 and 40 with and without any kind of experience with video gaming.
“People who were video gamers before adolescence, despite no longer playing, performed better with the working memory tasks, which require mentally holding and processing information to get a result, " said Marc Palaus, the author of the study.
The results show that people without experience of playing video games as a child did not benefit from improvements in processing and avoiding irrelevant stimuli(刺激).Indeed, they were slower than those who had played games as children, which matched what had been seen in earlier studies.
“People who played regularly as children performed better from the outset in processing 3D objects, although these differences were narrowed after the period of training in video gaming, when both groups showed similar levels said Palaus.
The study lasted a month and the researchers analyzed participants' cognitive skills, including working memory, at three points: before starting the training in video gaming, at the end of the training, and fifteen days later. The video game used was Nintendo's Super Mario 64.
According to Palaus, what most video games have in common is that they involve elements that make people want to continue playing, and that they gradually get harder and present a constant challenge. “These two things are enough to make it an attractive and motivating activity, which, in turn, requires constant and intense use of our brain's resources.
“Video games are a perfect recipe for strengthening our cognitive skills, almost without our noticing. However, it's not the reason for playing too much," he said.
1.What can be learned about the study?
- 19 -
A.It looks at different games. B.It is aimed at adult gamers.
C.Its participants are adults. D.Its author likes playing games.
2.How did people playing no video games as children behave in the study?
A.They tended to ignore irrelevant stimuli.
B.They failed to physically hold 3D objects.
C.They performed very slowly after training.
D.They did worse in working memory tasks.
3.What may Marc Palaus suggest doing?
A.Finding recipes for better cognitive skills.
B.Avoiding getting addicted to video games.
C.Trying less challenging video games.
D.Forbidding video games for the young.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Playing Video Games as Kids Can Cause Changes in Brain
B.Video Gamers Memorize Information Much More Quickly
C.Video Games Help to Improve Children's Working Memory
D.Playing Video Games Benefits Cognitive Skills Even Years Later

Millions of people have used commercial DNA tests to trace their family trees.For a few lucky folks,the results have been life-changing,introducing them to relatives they had lost long ago—or never knew existed.Walter Macfarlane,76,and Alan Robinson,74,have been friends for more than 60 years.They grew up a few miles away from each other in Honolulu and met in sixth grade.They played high school football together.They are so close—they’re Uncle Walter and Uncle Alan to each other’s kids.So imagine their surprise when they discovered they were,in fact,biological brothers.
It came out,as so often happens,by accident.Walter,a retired math and physical education teacher,was adopted when he was only 8 months old. He didn’t learn the truth until he graduated from high schoo1.The only thing his adoptive parents told him was that his father died in the war and his mother couldn’t raise him on her own.Since then,he had wanted to know about his family tree.
So in 2016,when commercial DNA-testing kits were starting to take off,Walter’s daughter,Cindy Macfarlane,suggested he try a couple.When Cindy logged on to ancestry.com to check the results,she saw that a user named Robby 7 3 7 and her dad shared enough DNA to be half siblings(兄弟).When Cindy asked her parents whether they knew anyone who could have that username,her mother immediately thought of Walter’s friend,Uncle Alan. His nickname was Robby,and he used to fly 737s for Aloha Airlines.
Could that really be possible? Walter wondered.Actually several years before,Alan had taken the same DNA test that Walter did to learn more about his medical background.But he had never talked to Walter about it.Walter was eager to reach Alan as soon as possible.
Walter spent ten minutes trying to get his friend on the phone. ______________________

7.答案:1. surprised2. which3. as4. their 5. was founded6. representing7. made8. the9. characters10. Gradually
解析:
本文是篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的传统文化印章的历史,以及印章学的形成。
1.surprised,感到吃惊的,形容词,作表语。be surprised at,对……感到吃惊。
2. 关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词art,which在从句中作主语。
3. 据信,早在8000年前,我们的祖先可以制作陶器并拥有私有财产之后,印章就出现了。as...as,和……一样。
4. their,形容词性的物主代词,修饰名词possessions。
5. 当第一个朝代建立时,……。found是时间状语从句中的谓语,此句讲的是过去的事,时态用一般过去时,found和主语呈被动关系,故构成一般过去时的被动语态:be(was/were)+过去分词,主语是单数,be动词用was。
6. 非谓语动词。represent和逻辑主语seal呈主动关系,故用现在分词表主动。
7. have sth done,使……被……,过去分词作宾补,sth和done是被动关系。根据题意,答案为made.
8. the same...,同样的,固定搭配。
9. 与此同时,私人印章上面刻着各种幸运文字以及生动的动物图案。character,文字,可数名词,前面有a variety of(各种各样的),故填入复数。
10. 逐渐地,印章学形成了。gradually,逐渐地,副词,作状语。

9.答案:
Walter spent ten minutes trying to get his friend on the phone. Unexpectedly, he couldn't get through. He decided to drive to Alan's house, accompanied by his daughter. To Walter’s disappointment Alan was not at home. Walter was told that Alan would be back in five-days. After a five-day anxious wait, the two men finally met. Alan confirmed to Walter that his username was Robby 737 compared their test results and were excited to find that they had the same mother.
Now, the two brothers just want to make up for lost time. Both still live in Honolulu, about five miles apart, just like when they were kids. They talk on the phone weekly and go to lunch regularly. At the weekend, they will play football happily, along with some of their kids. They're even planning to take a long trip together. Thanks to their DNA test results and research by Cindy, they both feel lucky to have a brother in the world
解析:所给范文要点齐全,语言得体。续写部分和原文及首句的契合度高,第一段结尾的 Alan confirmed to Walter that his username was Robby 737为下文他们兄弟俩如何弥补失去的时间打下了伏笔,从而和第二段接续合理。其次,文章使用了一些高级词汇和短语,例如:get through, to one's disappointment, confirm, regularly, thanks to。总之,整篇范文写作非常成功,值得学习。
