2．The definition of community has evolved （升華） for me from childhood to the young adult I am now.My mom was born in America but both her parents were from the Bahamas.It was their culture to take care of the elderly and the sick.And my mom has taught me to be caring to those around us because we're all a part of the "community"，an extension of family.
When I was 9 years old，my family moved to Cape Coral，F(xiàn)lorida.Both mom and dad worked full-time，so they registered me to attend an after-school program al the Youth Center.Youth counselors （輔導(dǎo)員） would help me with my homework and play games with me and this was where my interest settled down.Community service started with me giving back at the Youth Center.
Then illness struck at home.My grandmother had to have heart surgery and needed hospital treatment.This experience brought me to volunteer at Cape Corat Hospital.I asked if I could learn from the nurse how to give my grandma her medicine and it started here.
I loved being at Cape Coral Hospital.I would bring paperwork to other doctors，bring food to the patients，and make sure the patients were attended.I would help direct visitors to see patients.I would always tell what would cheer the patients up because f had built a relationship with them and their loved ones.I grew to feel the hospital was a part of my community.
After volunteering at the Youth Center and at the Hospital，I've learned that people become sort of an extended family when you care about them.Now I am more considerate of those close to me，neighbors and even strangers who share my resources.

3．It is becoming more and more important for researchers to closely observe our sea life，with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans.However，this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals.
Now，thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish，also called SoFi，researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures，but also uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.Though not the first autonomous underwater vehicle （AUV） created to observe the oceans，SoFi solves many of the problems that have hindered （妨礙） the usefulness of previous robots.
AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio communications do not work well underwater.To solve the problem，CSAIL director Daniela Rus and her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances，allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away.To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean，a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft rubber tail，while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean.
During test dives，SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time，taking high-quality photos and videos.Even more importantly，it was able to do so without causing any disturbance.The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robot-fish out of curiosity，while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.
While SoFi currently only records videos，future versions will include sensors. "For us，this fish is magical，" says Rus. "We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about."
（1）The first paragraph is used to.
A．a(chǎn)ttract readers' attention
B．provide background information
C．call on people to stop overfishing
D．show human influence on sea animals
（2）What drives SoFi to move underwater？
A．A solar battery.
B．A rubber tail.
C．A special controller.
D．An inside balloon.
（3）What words may be used to describe SoFi？
A．Multi-functional and expensive.
B．Scary-looking but sensitive.
C．Fast-moving and disturbing.
D．Silent-running but powerful.
（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A．Rus has a magical fish.
B．SoFi needs to be improved.
C．Rus has designed sensors for SoFi.
D．We know little about the underwater world.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.7

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
My dad always told me that when I was two years old，I told everyone I met that I was going to be the next Michael Jordan.One day when I was six，he looked me straight in the eye，asking. "Are you willing to do any amount of work to become Michael Jordan？" I hesitated for a moment，feeling the weight of his words，but then smiled brightly and nodded.
"All right." He produced a sheet of Paper and handed it to me，warning， "This will be one serious commitment." He gave me a pen and gestured for me to sign my name at the bottom of the page.
The next morning I had completely forgotten about the paper until，at the crack of dawn，my father shook me awake.
"Get up，" he ordered. "Basketball practice starts today."
I complained，unwillingly getting out of my warm bed and following my dad.We headed out to the driveway and he showed me an orange basketball.He threw it to me and I clumsily grasped it with both hands.That morning，I practiced for three hours，the most tired I'd been in those years.Already，I was beginning to regret my decision to be the female version of Michael Jordan.
The next morning my dad dragged me out in the driveway at the crack of dawn，once again.It was the same the next day，and the next day.I screamed that I would never touch a basketball again，but he took out my signed paper，explaining that I couldn't take back my words now.
Years passed and I began to accept basketball practice as just a fact of life.One day，at the age of 15，I finally reached my goal—my 10，000 hours.That morning we practiced our usual three hours，and for once，I felt like I may have learned everything there was to know about basketball.At the end of our session，my dad hugged and congratulated me before handing me that orange basketball and saying， "It's yours now."
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
