In the future，the train will operate on a number of rail lines linking Chengdu and Chongqing，Chongqing and Guiyang，Shanghai and Kunming in Sichuan，Guzhou provinces and Chongqing municipality （自治區(qū)）.

2．I had only really known the little girl for a few weeks，but I carried her with me every day.We met in the Children's Hospital of Columbus.I was 11，I was born with a hole in my heart.So was the five-year-old girl in the bed beside me.
We were both recovering from the same surgery.Being older and wiser，I thought it was-my job to look out for her. "Do you want to hear a story？" I recalled asking her one afternoon. "Great!" she said.
It was so easy to make her happy.She seemed always to be smiling or laughing or singing songs.Life wasn't fair.She passed away.My own recovery went well. "You're really lucky，" a nurse told me. "But how come my operation was so easy and hers wasn't？" I asked. "Easy？" my dad said. "Mary，your surgery wasn't easy at all.We thought we were going to lose you because of the amount of internal bleeding （內(nèi)出血）.You can't remember it because you were in a coma（昏迷）." Dad said. "For two weeks after your operation many things could go wrong." "I'm really lucky.I wasn't too old to need someone to look out for me." "You wouldn't remember this either.When you were in the coma，she used to come over to your bed and sing to you.She was watching over you."
My surgery scars were hidden under my shirt.But I knew they were there，along with the memory of that little girl，the one who'd been at my side like a tiny angel when I didn't even know she was there.I was older now and hopefully somewhat jye.air.Wise enough to know that I have angels watching over me，when life is fair and when it's not.

3．As people are becoming more socially conscious about where their food comes from and how it impacts the planet，they are choosing animal-free plant-based options.Cow-free meat has been around for quite some time and the popularity of brands of the cultivated meat is rising.While there are a large number of plant-based milk substitutes，none of them have the same taste of cow's milk.Now，a food-tech company created real dairy products without harming a single cow or the planet.
The company stresses that their product produced in the lab is not a milk substitute but rather is the real deal.And it is very healthy.The company also says that the lab-produced milk tastes identical to the real thing and they hope to eventually replace cows by creating every dairy product sold.They expect to roll out plant-based cheese and yogurt in addition to milk. "Our company was founded with the mission to stop using animals to produce -our food because，as dairy lovers，we realize that giving up on milk is not an option，" John said. "But today's milk comes with an unreasonable price tag.The dairy industry is destructive to our planet，our health，and our animals，and is simply not sustainable （可持續(xù)的） anymore."
The environmental price tag of dairy farming is way too high.According to the World Wildlife Fund，dairy cows add a huge amount of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and-contribute to global warming and climate change as well as pollute the air around them.Dairy operations consume large amounts of water and run-off of manure（糞肥） and fertilizers from these farms get into local waterways.The production uses only 5 percent of the resources and produces only 1 percent of the waste of producing cow's milk according to the company.And they accomplish this by being 100 percent cruelty-free unlike dairy farms.
（1）The food-tech company's milk mentioned in the text differs from other milk substitutes in.
A．its various plant-based flavour
B．is tastes the same as cow's milk
C．its highest output from the farms
D．its broad popularity home and abroad
（2）What can we know from John's words in paragraph 2？
A．Prices of cow's milk are rising these days.
B．The destructive dairy industries should be shut down.
C．The food-tech company was set up for animal protection.
D．The food-tech company aims to produce animal-free food.
（3）What does the underlined word "them" probably refer to in the last paragraph？
A．Dairy cows.
B．Dairy operations.
C．Climate changes.
D．Greenhouse gases.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．Healthier Milk.
B．New Milk Saves Planet.
C．Fresher Milk，Better Future.
D．Making Milk without Cows.組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up poor-living in the projects with six brothers，three sisters，my father，and a wonderful mother.We had little money and few goods，but plenty of love and attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was，they could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the baseball field.I was also lucky：My high-school coach was John，who not only believed in me，but taught me how to believe in myself.He taught me the difference between having a dream and how to realize a dream.One particular incident with Coach John changed my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years，and a friend recommended me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket-money for a new bike and new clothes，and the start of savings for a house for my mojye.air.The prospect of a summer job was attractive，and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule，and that meant I would have to tell Coach John I wouldn't be playing.I was afraid of this，thinking of the advice my mother told us： "If you make your bed，you have to lie in it."
When I told Coach John，he was as mad as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work，" he said.Your playing days are limited.You can't afford to waste them."
I stood before him with my head hanging，trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
"How much are you going to make at this job？" he demanded.___________.
Then I devoted myself to sports that summer.___________.組卷：4引用：2難度：0.5
