• 1．Whether you're stuck at home，too busy to shop or want to save time，it's convenient to shop online for groceries.Here are our picks for the top four online grocery shopping sites in the US.

     Instacart lets you shop at various stores in your local area，including Costco，CVS，Ralph's，BevMo，Petco，and more.Shoppers subcontracted （转包） by Instacart deliver your items right to your doorstep.Delivery fees vary according to peak hour，but you'll get free delivery on all orders over ＄35 with an Instacart Express ＄99 annual membership.

     ShopFoodEx
     ShopFoodEx offers more than 15，000 grocery and household items to browse by category or search by brand or item.This isn't a local delivery site，so shipping rates can be rather high，even up to ＄16 for an item that costs only a few dollars.However，sipping rates are clearly stated before you order anything，and the price may be worth it for a hard-to-find item.

• 2．I started out with animals as a volunteer in a safari park.For me，it's about both providing care and supporting their conservation in the wild，which is what led me to Laos in South East Asia，setting up a sanctuary for Sun and Moon bears.They are facing a tough time - they are caught in the wild，and then sold to bear bile（熊胆） farms where they are treated inhumanely.
     It was full-team ahead right from the start.Before I'd even boarded the plane to Laos.Matt，a friend from charity Free The Bears，had called me saying they had rescued a tiny female Sun bear.They named it Mary.
     She was found in a tiny cage on the back of a truck that was filled with rubbish.When I met Mary for the first time，she was scared and weak，but after a few days in a caring environment with the right nutrition she quickly found her feet.
     It wasn't all easy work.I remember taking her for a walk one day and she shot of up a tree far beyond our reach just as we were heading back to our nursery centre.She loves honey，but she was so intelligent （and stubborn） that she wouldn't just come for it.I ended up having to trick her with a game，and finally managed to get her low enough to grab her.
     I have countless memories like that which will always make me laugh.But it's still mentally exhausting to know that more than 10，000 bears are kept in cages across Asia.So I can't describe the feeling of great joy when we get them into our centre.Seeing them take their first steps on grass after knowing nothing but bars and concrete is what it's all about.They deserve to have the life they were intended for.

• 3．When we are born，we are unflawed.As we grow，we develop many complexities due to many influences in our lives.Our brain collects and retains all visual，auditory（听觉的）information from the moment we are born and to the smallest of the details.Apart from our brain having memory，cells in our body，in billions，have their own memory.In other words，our body stores both physiological and psychological memories.We are complex emotional beings in nature compared to any other living animal.
     Apparently，physical and psychological memories strongly influence our emotions!Interestingly，we can create，store，and release emotion like energy.Moreover，if we do not process our negative emotions properly and suppressed for a long time，they can find a way out violently and unexpectedly.Unfortunately，we carry our guilt throughout our lives putting ever-increasing burden on our shoulders.We become heavy with guilt and anger for things we could or did not achieve，and for things we cannot have.
     Both guilt and anger are useless for us.They give us no advantage.Therefore，one may ask：is there a way to put down the burden from our weary shoulders？It is possible，indeed.Importantly，since our guilt and anger inside us neither released nor given attention，they are stored.Actually，we should process and address our emotions in order to remove from our system.We cannot just wish them away.
     In fact，by acknowledging their presence and providing a channel for them to dissipate，we can dissolve our emotions gradually.Taking drugs and consuming alcohol only worsen situation.They only provide short-term comfort.Is there a better way to unload our burden？Luckily，we have a natural gift to process our feeling and emotions.Forgiveness stands first of all the other natural remedies.
     Indeed，there is no better way than forgiving ourselves.Of course，we should also learn to readily forgive others.But when we learn to forgive ourselves，we also naturally forgive others.
     In summary，there is no benefit carrying our years of emotional baggage.By forgiving，we can throw away the emotional baggage we carry for years.Forgive your past mistakes.The moment you start forgiving，you feel a lot lighter and years of heaviness lifted magically!To your surprise，you start feeling a lot energetic and optimistic in your daily life.
  
  （1）What can we know from the first paragraph？

  
  A．Human beings are born with complexities.
  B．Our body has the ability to memorize information.
  C．Our brain can collect and retain all information.
  D．Not all the other living things have complex emotions like human beings.

  A．Human beings are complex emotional beings in nature.
  B．Physical and psychological memories strongly affect their emotions.
  C．Bad emotions are inside themselves for too long and are dealt with incorrectly.
  D．Their body stores both physiological and psychological memories.
  （3）Which of the following statements may the author agree with？

  
  A．Drink some wine and you may feel relieved.
  B．There is a way to dissolve your guilt only if you have the wish.
  C．Try to release your anger and guilt，or they will be stored inside.
  D．Every coin has two sides，which is true of our guilt and anger.

第二节（满分25分）

• 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 a tornado（龙卷风） touched down in a small town nearby，many families were left completed ruined.Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.
      One Sunday，a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered （破碎的） mobile home，a depressed expression on her face.A young boy，seven or eight years old，stood at her side，eyes downward.Clutching （紧握） at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera，eyes wide with confusion and fear.
      The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member.With growing interest，I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves.I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator，explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and to three-year-old Meghan.
      "These poor people now have nothing，" I said. "We'll share what we have with them.I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor.Meghan watched seriously，as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.
      While I sorted through our clothes，I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.
      Meghan walked up with Lucy，her worn，much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest.She came to the box that held the toys，pressed her round little face into Lucy's flat，painted-on-face，gave her a final kiss，then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
      "Oh，Honey，" I said." You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
      Meghan nodded seriously，eyes filled with held-back tears. "Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl happy，too."
  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。
  Paragraph.1：
  The boys had watched，open-mouthed，as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box._________
