I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later“Amazing!”a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive(印象深刻的) sunrise in my life. However waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable(值得) and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
24. What did they think about the sunrise they saw in the end
A. common B. terrible. C. Amazing. D. unknown
25. What's the meaning of the underlined word“chilly”in paragraph two
A. Total. B. Cold. C. Terrible. D. Interesting.
26. What's the author's attitude towards waiting for the sunrise
A. Excited all the time. B. Afraid all the time.
C. Firstly excited then afraid. D. Firstly excited then impatient.
27. What does the author want to tell us by this passage
A. Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
B. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.
C. I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.
D. My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.

Teenagers' fitness is now a major concern, to which physical exercise is very important. It reduces stress and improves fitness. Exercise makes your body strong, and helps you to keep the right body weight. Sports scientist Dr. Helen Lopez offers the following advice to teenagers:“First, you need to find out your present level of fitness. Then you can design a programme that will help you become healthier.”
Dr. Lopez suggests that there are three levels of fitness that need a change of lifestyle.“Overweight”means that the person gets very little exercise and often has a serious weight problem.“Inactive”means that the person does not join in many physical activities, but is not seriously overweight.“Active”refers to people who take part in sports and other physical activities, but are not at a high fitness level.
According to Dr. Lopez, overweight teenagers should keep active to keep healthy.“Ride a bike, play volleyball or basketball for a while, and go for a twenty-minute walk each day. All these will help to burn calories.”Inactive teenagers should do similar activities, but add some bending and stretching exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups, starting with twenty each day.“Inactive people can take a little more exercise than overweight people because their bodies are stronger, ”said Dr. Lopez. The same principle applies to active teenagers.
Dr. Lopez suggests one hour a week or more on running and other forms of intensive exercise(强化训练),together with fifteen minutes a day spent on stretching and bending activities.“These are really important in order to prevent injuries, ”Dr. Lopez said. Some weight-training and other body-strengthening exercises could also be planned in the programme in order to increase the person's strength.
28. Why is physical exercise important
A. It can make the teenagers grow taller.
B. It can help teenagers become healthier.
C. It can help teenagers to lose weight.
D. It can change teenagers' lifestyles.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Active people are always at a high fitness level.
B. Overweight people always take more exercise.
C. Inactive teenagers are not seriously overweight.
D. Keeping fit means changing teenagers' lifestyles.
30. According to Paragraph 4, what kind of exercise should you do
A. Walking.
B. Stretching and bending.
C. Riding.
D. Weight-training.
31. What is the best title for the passage
A. Doing Exercise
B. Teenagers' Fitness
C. Different Lifestyles
D. Overweight Teenagers

If you've ever travelled with other people, the chances are you've had to make compromises. When you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, for example, your friends may argue that getting enough sleep is more important. And when you want to try the different food, your friends might say it looks strange and push you to a Chinese restaurant instead.
This is probably why more people these days are choosing to travel alone. According to reports on holiday habits from the Association of British Travel Agents, the percentage of people in the UK who take trips alone has been increasing, from 6 percent in 2011, to 12 percent in 2017, and to 15 percent in 2018.Most of these people said they choose to travel alone because this allows them to“do what they want”.
In fact, travelling alone is only a part of a recent trend(趋势) of people wanting to take more time alone—or what's called“me time”.“Imagine yourself as a full pot of water and everything else that asks for your attention is an empty glass. When you provide what is needed for them you are using up your own water supply, ”Editor Nicole Lyons wrote for the men tal health social network Psych Central.“But how are you refilling your pot This is where your‘me time’ comes in.”
However, it's still quite a common belief that those who do things alone are losers and that they're alone simply because they don't have anybody to be with. But why can't people just be enough for themselves
The now Duchess of Sussex Rachel Meghan Markle once wrote on her blog in 2016 about how she enjoyed taking herself out to dinner and travelling alone.“It's not easy. But it's important, ”she wrote. You should face everything and encourage yourself to move forward when the feeling of loneliness and boredom sweeps through your body and mind, according to Markle.
32. What does the underlined phrase“make compromises”probably mean in Paragraph 1
A. Turn up. B. Work hard.
C. Give in. D. Take care.
33. Why do some people choose to travel alone
A. To save more money.
B. To enjoy their freedom.
C. To calm themselves down.
D. To avoid troubling someone.
34. What does the author want to do in Paragraph 3
A. Explain why we need“me time”.
B. List some examples of“me time”.
C. Provide some advice for readers.
D. Add some background information.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. A new way of travelling abroad
B. Me time: enjoy yourself alone
C. The disadvantages of travelling alone
D. How to find a proper partner in trips

It was New Year time. We were travelling in a small truck 41 toys to the homeless. When we 42 the spot, something caught my eye. Something or someone was moving in the rubbish. Soon I realized that it was the home of a poor family. There were two 43 , both about my age at the time, and a lady I supposed to be their mother. They sat there 44 .
As a little girl myself I was especially interested in the little girl. How 45 our lives were. She lived for the day, 46 through the rubbish for something to fill her stomach. I on the other hand was well looked after and never had to worry about food. I had good education and a 47 future. I looked at the little girl. The only 48 she had was the worn out dress that she was wearing.
Seeing this little girl I made the decision to 49 her a doll that had belonged to me for a while.When the truck came to a stop,I stepped out, called the girl over and 50 the doll in her hand. At first she looked at me with 51 and wasn't certain what to do, but then she smiled and I saw 52 in her eyes. I went back into the truck and we started to 53 off, and that's when we realized the little girl was running 54 . We stopped again and opened the door. The girl had 55 with us. She looked directly at me and said two simple words“Thank you”.
41. A. handing out B. handing in C. giving away D. giving back
42. A. left B. changed C. chose D. approached
43. A. boys B. Children C. drivers D. adults
44. A. happily B. angrily C. hopefully D. helplessly
45. A. similar B. different C. difficult D. ordinary

49. A. gift B. show C. recommend D. sell
50. A. tore B. put C. dropped D. threw
51. A. anger B. pain C. surprise D. disappointment
I quickly searched for the school's coach and asked him what had happened.“I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,”he explained nervously.“I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well ——he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular(正常的) kid. He always participated(参与) to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer that's all.
David had not missed a practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children,he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with(熟悉) the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

1.所续写短文的词数应为 150左右；

Paragraph 1:
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me.

Dear Jack,
Glad to receive your letter. I like Michael Jordan best, who I think is the greatest basketball player of all time.
As a basketball fan, I admire Michael Jordan for his brilliant basketball skills.What's more, I like his spirit of never giving up in the face of repeated failures. He said, “I've missed more than 9, 000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games.I've failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan is not only my favourite sports star but also the best role model in my life.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph l: We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly,“No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “ You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here ”,I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
Paragraph 2:I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children,not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers.It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission.Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it!We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’ s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.
