2．I am thrilled to welcome you to the 20th annual Roger Ebert's Film Festival，a special event in partnership with the University of Illinois College of Media，the greater Champaign-Urbana community，and movie lovers everywhere.Little did we think，back in 1999，that our experiment in reinventing the film festival - to make a festival that celebrated overlooked films and the women and men who made those films - would become a landmark annual event in the life of our community and contribute to the repairs of the remarkable Virginia Theater.
In selecting the films for this year，Chaz Ebert and I looked to women filmmakers for our inspiration.Fully half of our films are either directed or co-directed by women，and several others have women in powerful producing roles.Films directed or co-directed by women include 13th，directed by Ava DuVernay，Belle，directed by Amma Asante，and American Splendor，directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini.And women producers include Lynda Obst and Emma Thomas winter stellar，and Ruth Ann Harnisch and Danielle Renfrew Behrens （Columbus）.
Our opening night film is The Fugitive，directed by Andrew Davis，a graduate from University of Illinois.Our Saturday night film is the classic The Big Lebozvski.Our guest will be the Hollywood master Jeff Dowd.And of course The Alloy Orchestra will be back，this year with A Page of Madness，the classic Japanese silent film.
We would like to thank our sponsors，volunteers，festival pass holders，and individual ticket holders for their welcome participation.We look forward to your unwavering support to make our festival more successful each spring in central Illinois.We especially want to thank the University of Illinois for their loyal support year after year.

3．During a decline in tourism，one national park in Thailand has seen a dramatic rise in "visitors" recently.So many are the hermit crabs（寄居蟹）flooding into the otherwise empty beaches of Koh Lanta that shells（贝壳） for them to live in have become in short supply.
The Thai government moved quickly to ease the housing shortage，launching a public appeal for empty shells that netted over 200 kg.On December 5 these were distributed around the park in a ceremony.
Hermit crabs rely on shells to protect their soft bodies，moving to larger shells as they grow.On Koh Lanta and the surrounding smaller islands，their rapid increase seems to be a natural phenomenon，rather than directly related to the absence of tourists.But the shortage of shells may be man-made：pretty ones have long been gathered to be sold as goods.Crabs had begun to make do with potential death-traps such as plastic caps and bottles.
The shell drive was part of a government initiative to "regain the balance of nature". "I have instructed all national parks to do whatever it takes，" says Varawut Silpa-archa，the minister for natural resources.His inspiration comes from the pause in tourism brought on by COVID-19.A ban on international visitors and the closure of national parks have helped nature recover，bringing endangered leatherback turtles back onto Thai beaches.In the coastal provinces of Phang Nga and Phuket，turtles have laid the largest number of eggs for 20 years.
The government has decided to try to copy the short break forced on it by COVID-19 in future.From now on，all national parks will be required to close for a short period during the off-season and to limit the number of tourists through a reservation system when they are open.Although such restrictions mean reduced earnings from tourism in the short term，in the longer run more parks may help to keep the tourists coming.
（1）What happened to the beaches of Koh Lanta recently？
A．They got flooded by seawater.
B．They became completely empty.
C．They were packed with hermit crabs.
D．They saw a constant stream of tourists.
（2）What contributed to the housing shortage for hermit crabs？
A．Natural disasters.
B．Human activities.
C．Their preference for bottles.
D．The government's involvement.
（3）Why are turtles mentioned in paragraph 4？
A．To warn turtles are dying out.
B．To prove beaches are their ideal habitats.
C．To stress ecological diversity of Thailand.
D．To illustrate the birth of Varawut's inspiration.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Developing Economy or Protecting Animals？
B．Closing National Parks or Drawing More Visitors？
C．Governments are Responsible for the Balance of Nature
D．Authorities Help to Find Shelters for Homeless Hermit Crabs组卷：0引用：1难度：0.6

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When there was news that a storm was coming，Sarah didn't think much about it.She simply shrugged it off like any other normal day.When she went to the grocery store and saw that it was full，she still didn't worry.
People ran like mad between aisles（过道），grabbing what they could.Bare shelves and long lines made Sarah chuckle（窃笑）.They must be overreacting，she thought.
On her way home，she looked overhead.Dark clouds were indeed forming.And they seemed to be moving quickly across the sky.Still，Sarah was not bojye.aired.The rain would be nice since it had been warm lately.
When she got home，Sarah made popcorn and sat on the sofa with her dog，Cooper，and got ready to watch a movie.Just as she hit play on the remote，she heard the thunder.Rain started to come down hard，making it almost impossible to see the trees in her front yard through the window.Cooper immediately jumped from the sofa，barking in fear in the comer.
"It's OK." Sarah said.She moved to one side and saw Cooper looked a bit nervous.Sarah turned off the movie and instead skipped to the local news station.The storm was much more serious than she had thought.People in a nearby city even said they spotted a tornado.The reporter advised people to stay inside and secure all of the doors and windows.
Sarah got up and began making her way around the house.Cooper followed close behind as she checked all of the windows to make sure they were all fully closed.By the time she got back to her sofa，the rain had stopped. "That wasn't so bad，" Sarah said aloud. "Just a nice shower."
She turned to Cooper，who had gone back to the corner and still looked a bit frightened.She looked outside.It was actually very calm，but she could see that the wind was picking up.The branches of the tees were swinging and the garbage bin had tipped over.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Obviously，a storm was on its way.
Trapped at home，Sarah wondered how she could survive.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.6
