2. I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all —LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
1. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?
A．Efforts made in vain.

A．A new nest.
B．Some food.
C．A recording.
D．Its parents.
4. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A．It’s unexpected.
B．It’s beautiful.
C．It’s humorous.
D．It’s discouraging.
3. Unhealthy diets are responsible for preventable deaths globally per year, more even than smoking tobacco, according to a major study.
“But the biggest problem is not the junk we eat but the nutritious food we don’t eat,” say researchers, calling for a global shift in policy to promote vegetables, fruit, nuts and beans. While sugar and trans-fats are harmful, more deaths are caused by the absence of healthy foods in our diet. Heart attacks are the main diet-related causes of death, followed by cancers and diabetes (糖尿病).
The study found that eating and drinking better could prevent one in five deaths around the world. “Rather than trying to persuade people to cut down on sugar, salt and fat, which has been the main focus of diet policy debate in the past two decades, it would be better to promote healthy options. Adoption of diets emphasizing beans and other healthy plant sources of protein, for instance, will have important benefits for human health,” note the researchers.
The study is the most comprehensive analysis on the health effects of diet ever conducted. It looked at 15 different nutrients, giving detailed knowledge of the analysis and summary of the risk factors
of them.
Tom Sanders, a professor of nutrition and dietetics (饮食学), said the analysis put too much emphasis on individual component s rather than the overall diet. “Overweight is a major driver for risk of diabetes as well as cancer and the health evidence for this relationship is strong. Overweight is caused by eating more food energy than required rather than specific dietary components such as sugar. The trend for populations to sit too much is a major reason why there is an imbalance between energy intake and consumption but Increased availability of foods with high calories makes it too easy to overeat.”
1. What do the researchers think is the best way to lower preventable death rate?
A．Restricting junk food. B．Trying to eat healthily.
C．Avoiding risk factors. D．Adopting high-calorie diets.
2. What’s the major concern of the current diet policy?
A．The diversity of food.
B．The importance of nutritious food.
C．The reduction of unhealthy food intake.
D．The balance between diet and exercise.
3. Which of the following does Tom Sanders agree with?
A．The analysis overlooks dietary integrity.
B．Overweight results from diabetes and cancer.
C．People who rarely exercise must diet strictly.
D．Particular dietary components lead to overweight.
4. Where is the text most likely from?
A．A product brochure. B．A cookbook.
C．A medical textbook. D．A health journal.
4. Is there a link between social media and depression? Do Facebook and Instagram have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.
Sometimes, looking through Instagram just makes you feel bad. You try not to envy your friends, but they always seem to be traveling somewhere cool, eating something fancy, or looking cute in perfect just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. On the other hand, there are times when you laugh at funny memes (表情包), catch up with old friends, and feel happy to belong to fun social media communities. Clearly, social media isn’t all bad.
People are increasingly suspecting that there’re potential problems of social media. Things like cyberbullying (网上欺凌) , screen addiction, and being exposed to endless filtered images (美颜) that make it impossible not to make comparisons between yourself and others often make the news. In July, a big study came out in the journal JAMA titled “Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence.” This big headline seems to confirm what a lot of people have been saying — screen time is horrible for young people.
The study followed over 3,800 adolescents over four years as part of a drug and alcohol prevention program. Part of what the investigators measured was the teens’ amount of screen time, including time spent on social media, as well as their levels of depression symptoms. One of their main findings was that higher amounts of social media use were associated with higher levels of depression. That was true both when the researches compared between people and compared each person against their own mental health over time.
Case closed? Not so fast. Before we end the debate once and for all, let’s take a closer look at this and other studies. Let’s ask ourselves: what exactly is the relationship between social media use and depression? It turns out there are several warnings.
1. Why do people sometimes feel bad when looking through Instagram?
A．They feel unbalanced. B．They can travel nowhere.
C．They don’t look perfect.D．They lack contact with old friends.
2. Why is the article in journal JAMA mentioned?
A．To comment. B．To suggest. C．To prove. D．To explore.
3. Which may agree with the findings of the study?
A．Teens’ amount of screen time is limited.
B．Depression is related to social media use.
C．It is not easy to tell reasons for depression.
D．Social media contributes to physical health.
4. What’s the best title of the text?
A．How to reduce depression?
B．Shall people reduce screen time?
C．Does social media cause depression?
D．Why is it time to give up social media?
5. Cycling or Running?
Aerobic (有氧) exercise is an effective tool to assist with fat loss. It can be fun and help build up your body. Running and cycling, for example, are both good for you. 1 Read on and make an informed decision.
Metabolic (代谢) Level
At the metabolic level, fast running beats fast cycling. There is also the fact that when you’re riding downhill, you’re essentially at rest because you’re coasting. Not so with running. 2 You’re also getting more of a total body workout with running than you get with cycling.
Difficulty Of Adoption
You could ride a bike for hours. With no pounding on your joints, you can go far and fast. Now compare that to taking up running. The first few times you try running, you will breathe heavily, wondering wh y on earth you’re putting yourself through such suffering. It takes enormous determination for most people to become runners. 3
Racing
Foot races are popular the world over. There are 5Ks, 10Ks, half and full and ultra-marathons. Any decent-sized city will have your choice of races. 4 It forces you to train and pushes you to get better. Contrarily，it’s harder to find many races for cycling.
Convenience
In terms of convenience, running can’t match cycling. You will reach a specific destination way faster on a bike than by running. It’s also easier for carrying things on a bike.
5 Both cycling and running have something to offer. It’s about analyzing th eir respective advantages and deciding what’s right for you.
6. Years ago, my grandmother was in a nursing home. She was a retired university professor, which brought her an ocean of _______ she had taught before.
In sharp _______ with my grandmother, almost no one came to see the old man next door. He was _______ most of the time.

It’s extremely important for a person to learn to put what he thinks into ________. It makes a relationship ________ and a career flourish (繁荣). I’m afraid this is something many of us ________.

7. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Last week European Union leaders 1 (urge) to support re-wilding efforts by environmental activist groups, including the World Wildlife Fund.
“Re-wilding” is a conservation effort aimed at returning land 2 its more natural, undeveloped state. This movement is growing in 3 (popular) around the world, especially in cities and towns where lawns (草地) covers most areas. Replacing lawns with diverse native plants can help support wildlife like bees and other insects.
Native plants can grow in any conditions so there is no need to introduce foreign plants when there 4 (be) so many other options. Part of the process of re-wilding means 5 (change) the way most people attend to their green spaces. For example, it is not a good idea to clean up your garden 6 (immediate) at the end of the growing season. It is better to leave dead plants as they are. Birds 7 favorite food is seeds appreciate it when you don’t deadhead flowers. Less cutting o f plants and grass lets pollinators (授粉者) get to flowers, and 8 (fall) leaf collection should be limited, too. The remains of the garden and lawn provide food and shelter for important insect life.
No area is too small, and every space we can leave for nature to blossom (开花) is 9 (value). So you’d better tell neighbors about your re-wilding project, 10 they might misunderstand your effort as simple laziness.

续写的词数应为150左右。

Jack was gone.
For six years, Jack had lived four floors directly below him. If it hadn’t been for the fire escape, the two best friends could have seen each other by sticking their heads out of their bedroom windows. Every summer had been filled with bike rides and baseball, but last summer—the summer of Cyclops—had been the best.
Kyle and Jack had created the pulley contraption (滑轮), which Jack named Cyclops, from old bicycles, a backpack and a long rope. It ran beside the fire escape, and anything that fit into the pack could be slid from Kyle to Jack and back again. Cyclops had exchanged messages, comics and even chocolate cookies between windows.
Three days ago, Jack said good-bye to Kyle, saying his family was moving. Cyclops’ backpack rested on the fire escape outside Jack’s empty bedroom.
Staring at the ceiling over his bed, Kyle felt sad and lonely. Zzzoop! Kyle ran to the window, only to find Cyc lops rushing toward him. ‘‘Jack?” he shouted. Kyle opened the backpack and found a note “This is cool. Did you make it?” Disappointed, he threw the note away and closed the window, muttering (咕哝着) to the faceless stranger in Jack’s room, “Forget it.”
Minutes later, Kyle ran his eyes over Cyclops. Having read one page of his favorite comic, he looked at it again. He wrote a note. “Who are you?” Zzzooop! “I’m Max.” “I’m Kyle. How old are you?”
Cyclops whirred (呼呼地响), carrying notes between Kyle and Max. They discovered they would be in Mrs. Parker’ fifth grade class next year. They both loved riding bikes and playing baseball but hated strawberry jam.
Kyle sent three cookies and a note down. Cyclops ran between the windows as Kyle and Max made crucial decisions, like how to go to the zoo, when and where to meet. “Feel like going to the zoo tomorrow? Zzzooop! “OK.”
Para. 1: Early the next morning, Kyle got ready and his mom smilingly held the door open.
________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________
Para. 2: It was a girl that was pushing the bike and approaching him.
