2．It was Christmastime，1974.I was ten years old，but I was not looking forward to Christmas.
The previous spring，my mother and the man who was to become my stepfather had moved our family from rural Alabama to sunny Southern California.My little brother，Todd，and I were leaving behind our father and all of our extended family.This would be my first Christmas away from Alabama.
My elegant mother took to California like a swan to a royal lake.My athletic little brother enjoyed the climate that allowed him to be outdoors 11 months of the year.
I，however，was a fat，awkward child with a high-pitched voice and a heavy southern accent.My first day at my new school，I went to the front of my fourth-grade class to introduce myself.All I said was my name and where I was from.The class erupted in laughter，with jeers of "He talks funny." It took the teacher two minutes to restore order，and she was angry at me for having caused a disruption.
I was so sad and disappointed that I went to a gas station after school and used the phone booth there to place a collect call to Granny Smith.I was going to ask her whether I could return to Alabama and live with her，and whether she would send me the money for a bus ticket home.But the line was busy，and despite several attempts，I didn't get through.
To make matters worse，my mother was always encouraging me to lose weight.She had been a fat child herself and saw weight loss as the key to my happiness.
Granny Smith was everything good about Christmas.Her language of love was food.She would spend weeks cooking for Christmas Eve，when all of her children and grandchildren would gather at her house，which was tiny and saturated（使充满）with plain Christmas decorations.But to my childhood aesthetic（审美），it was glorious.
She sewed new pajamas for all of her grandchildren.She searched for catalogs，newspaper advertisements，and stores all over the town to get us exactly the toy we had requested.
She was my solace.She was my resilience.She was magical.
I missed her desperately.

3．Zoos are good for both animals and people.Although zoos rage in size and features，from small city zoos to large wildlife sanctuaries （鸟兽禁猎区），they all have positive features.
Zookeepers keep their animals in different environments and habitats（栖息地）.Some animals live in large areas that contain the same kind of features their natural habitats contain.For example，some zoos have created special "floors" made of sand and clay that are soft like the jungle to protect elephants' feet.Similarly，zoos keep their monkeys and apes in very large indoor areas with many "trees" and swings for the mammals to exercise in.Generally speaking，animals in zoos live in areas and eat the same kind of food that they do in the wild.
Zoos actually protect animals.In fact，in some instances living in a zoo is better for animals than living in the wild.Many zoo animals are endangered in the wild and zoos protect these species.Cheetahs，Giant Padas，and Chimpanzees are all examples of animals that are endangered in nature and need protection.For example，100 years ago there were about 100，000 wild tigers but now there are less than 3，000.Another example is that，in nature，chimpanzee populations have really gone down.There used to be millions and now there are less than 150，000.
Finally，zoos educate people about the value of animals and the need to protect them throughout the world.It is difficult to understand why an animal is important without at least seeing that animal in an environment that shows where and how it lives in nature.Also，scientists can study animals more easily in a zoo rather than having to travel all over the world to get information about an animal's habits.
Some people believe that zoos can never completely copy an animal's natural habitat.But I think the best way to protect animals and educate people about the world of animals is to build high-quality，safe zoo environments and animal preserves for people to communicate with the animal kingdom.Support your local zoo!
（1）What can we know about animals' habitats in zoos？
A．They are in the same place.
B．They are a little different in size.
C．They are similar to natural habitats.
D．They are large for animals to exercise in.
（2）Why does the author say living in a zoo is better for animals？
A．Because most of the wild animals are endangered.
B．Because the number of wild animals is on the increase.
C．Because wild animals do not enjoy living in the jungle.
D．Because zoos can better protect those endangered animals.
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？
A．Zoos can never copy animals' natural habitats.
B．Zoos are already high-quality and safe enough.
C．Zoos allow people to communicate with animals.
D．Zoos provide the best choice for animal protection.
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To introduce animals in the zoos.
B．To encourage readers to support zoos.
C．To appeal to readers to protect animals.
D．To tell readers some stories about animals.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.7

4．Festive Frenzy There is something about Christmas rush that makes us all a little unnerved.Even the most experienced cooks can find themselves under pressure when it comes to hosting a get-together.Organization is the key to success at Christmas time，especially if you're hosting the big day.Staying focused，choosing a menu，deciding numbers and making a list are just a few of the things that will get you across the line.（1）
SHOPPING
When you've had all of your guests invited，decide on your menu.Choose one that's not too complicated，using easy-to-find ingredients well within your budget.Remember to set the menu around the versatility （多功能性） of your kitchen and how much space you have.（2）Therefore，in the weeks leading up to Christmas，if you see any food ingredients on special offer，you can grab them ahead of time.It's also a must to pre-order at this time of the year--including the turkey，ham，tableware，gas，extra chairs，ice，etc.
PREPARATION
（3）This doesn't just include food.It also includes clearing the fridge and freezer space.Also think about how your guests will be served--by passing around platters on the table，or serving food that is pre-plated？If using platters，do you have enough platters to serve？Is your knife sharp enough to cave a turkey or ham？（4）Order your alcohol from a shop and have a one-on-one chat about how many bottles to serve your crowd of people.A refreshing cocktail is always a great way to serve a crowd—alcoholic or not!
COOKING
On Christmas Day，sometimes cooking is easier if you delegate（分派） a few recipe items out.A baked potato can easily be made read，and travel well.Then you just have to reheat.（5）
A.After that，they can feel free to enjoy the feast.
B.A shopping list，written well in advance，is a must.
C.So ask family and friends to roll up their sleeves and help out.
D.After you've made your shopping list，write your preparation list.
E.It's also a good idea to have a chat with an expert on drinks serving.
F.What you need to do then is to make full preparation before the guests are ready.
G.To ensure you enjoy Christmas and not be stressed out，our foodies share their best tips.组卷：4引用：1难度：0.5

13．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。
Monty Robert was a young man who was the son of a horse trainer who would go from stable （养马场） to stable，race track to race track，farm to farm and ranch （大牧场） to ranch，training horses.As a result，the boy's high school career was continually interrupted.When he was a senior，he was asked to write a paper about his dream about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch，showing the location of all the buildings，the stables and the tracks.Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4，000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher，Mrs.Smith.Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red A with encouraging words，"A fantastic dream!Work hard to achieve it!"
Monty Robert went home happily with the dream and couldn't wait to share it with his father.But to his great sadness，his father said，"This is an unrealistic dream，my boy.I am just a horse trainer，earning just enough to feed a family.We have no money.We have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.You have to buy the lad.You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you will have to pay other fees.There is no way you could ever do it."
