2．Look to many of history's cultural symbols，and there you'll find an ancestor of Frosty，the snowman in the movie Frozen.It appeared on some of the first postcards，starred in some of the earliest silent movies，and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos，dating all the way back to the 1800s.I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.
For example，snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages，built with great skill and thought.At a time of limited means of expression，snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists，including a 19-year-old Michelangelo，who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence，Italy，to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen-an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner.Some were political in nature，criticizing the church and government.Some were a reflection of people's imagination.For the people of Brussels，this was a defining moment of defining freedom.At least until spring arrived，by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed，don't worry：I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich，Switzerland，celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April，the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung six times，representing the passing of winter，the pile is lit.When the snowman explodes，winter is considered officially over-the quicker it is burnt down，the longer summer is said to be.
（1）According to the passage，why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？
A．People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B．People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C．Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D．Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
（2）"The heyday of the snowman" （paragraph 4）means the time when.
A．snowmen were made mainly by artists
B．snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C．snowmen were politically criticized
D．snowmen caused damaging floods
（3）In Zurich，the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes.
A．the start of the parade
B．the coming of a longer summer
C．the passing of the winter
D．the success of tradesmen
（4）What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？
A．They were appreciated in history.
B．They have lost their value.
C．They were related to movies.
D．They vary in shape and size.组卷：7引用：2难度：0.6 -
3．A books-for-food program in Guatemala is helping feed needy children as hunger rates rise during the pandemic（疫情）.It is run by a local nonprofit organization that aims to feed nearly 400 children.
The program is simple.People choose a book they want from a list of donated titles，and in return give bags of Incaparina，a high-protein drink mix.Bonifaz Diaz works for the program.By bringing the books-for-food program directly to people's homes，Diaz makes sure donations keep flowing.He has traveled more than 2，000 kilometers on his bicycle，delivered loads of books and carried back thousands of kilograms of Incaparina for the nonprofit group 32 Volcanoes.Diaz sometimes pulls a small cart that helps him carry up to 57 kilograms of product.He has traveled as far as 60 kilometers for a delivery to a town in the Western Highlands，where road conditions are poor.
Nearly a year into the books-for-food program，two more cyclists have joined Diaz and donations keep flowing in.Ana Castillo is a 29-year-old high school teacher who recently received the sociology book from Diaz.She donates to the program often.The 1.8 kilograms of Incaparina she provided will help one family eat for a month.
Castillo looks forward to choosing her books from the titles Diaz posts on social media.She also loves the feeling of a "growing circle" of giving and receiving. "You might not get to those places，but your help can." she says.
Diaz says he plans to continue cycling against hunger as long as the need exists.He has faced his own economic difficulties since the theater company he co-founded closed last spring.But the program has kept him active. "It's an opportunity to serve in which we all benefit." Diaz said.
（1）What is the purpose of the program？

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。续写的词数应为150词左右。
Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn't help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered in the street for hours，she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat.She stood beside a stand for a while，watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However，with no money in hand，she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked， "Hey，girl，you want to have the noodles？" "Oh，yes...but I don't have money on me，" she replied. "That's nothing.I'll treat you today，" said the man. "Come in."
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles，whose smell was So attractive.As she was eating，Jenny cried silently. "What is it？" asked the man kindly.
"Nothing，actually I was just touched by your kindness!" said Jenny."Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles，while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is So merciless compared to a stranger!" Hearing the words，the seller smiled，"Girl，do you really think so？I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you？Have you expressed your gratitude to her？"
Jenny sat there，speechless and numb with shock；she remembered Mother's familiar face and weathered hands. "Why did I not think of that？A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful，but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home，Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1
Nearing the doorway，Jenny took a deep breath.___________
Paragraph 2
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back._____________组卷：0引用：2难度：0.4
