阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
I started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.
Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.
This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.
There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.

Rock and pop hitmaker Jim Steinman, who wrote and composed music for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and more, died Monday in Danbury, Connecticut. He was 73. Steinman's brother Billconfirmed that the cause of death was kidney (肾) failure.
A statement posted on Steinman's Facebook page read, “It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”
Steinman's wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for many artists in a variety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he's worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated (提名) for four Grammys, and won Album of the Year for his work on Dion's 1996 smash,Falling Into You.
Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college, writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine, which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp. After graduating, Steinman worked at the Public Theater (which was established by Papp). In 1973, Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinman's song “Happy Ending”, which became Steinman's first commercially released tune. That same year, the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.
One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf, and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship. The two began working on Meat Loaf's solo album,Bat Out of Hell, in the early 70s, but it wouldn't be released until 1977. It wasn't until about one year later — after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live— that the album became a hit.
“There is no other songwriter ever like him,” Meat Loaf said. “I can never repay him. He has been such an influence, in fact, the biggest influence on my life, and I learned so much from him that there would be no way I could ever repay Mr. Jim Steinman.”

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China's Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible（无形的）Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to19 inKingston, capital ofJamaica.
“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China's Henan province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional Wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy,”Zhu Xianghua says, who is the
son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.
Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient Wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga（瑜伽）to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO's List in 2019.
In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi'an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university's sports center, stressed that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise-researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases but is also conned ted to ancient Chinese eivilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation. It provides a platform for communication and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the 2026 Dakar Youth Olympic Games.
8. What does Zhu Xianghua say about Tai Chi in paragraph 2?
A. It originated from fast Kung Fu action.
B. It was born around the 1750s in a village.
C. It is related to other cultural fields ofChina.
D. It integrates Chinese medicine and western philosophy.
9. Why do some young people choose to practice yoga instead of Tai Chi?
A. They think it easier to practice yoga to keep fit.
B. The elderly stop young people practicing Tai Chi.
C. They consider Tai Chi is custom-built for old people.
D. Yoga was included in the world culture earlier than Tai Chi.
10. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To promote contemporary Chinese civilization.
B. To show many efforts made to popularize Tai Chi.
C. To stress the importance of Chinese Tai Chi masters.
D. To advise people to practise Tai Chi to cure diseases.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Tai Chi Steps on the UNESCO's List.

When Farrel was young, he had a Rat Terrier (捕鼠犬). He named it RK, short for Rat Killer. The following is how he came across the dog and adopted it.
That was sometime in the 1930s. He worked in the booth with the projectionist (电影放映员). He liked to see the theater from booth. At that time, people usually took a short break between reel (胶卷) changes. Farrel would take this chance to look at the theater audience. The people were usually talking or making a trip to the bathroom during the breaks. The lights were on, but turned down low. Farrel saw something that shocked him at this time. He actually saw 3 huge rats. They crossed the room and went under the seats. Then the movie was over, and he had to stay behind and clean up. That night he stayed in the projection room and watched from above. He saw several rats running around below. They were so huge that he could see them clearly from above. But when the lights were turned up brighter, the rats all disappeared.
He told the manager what he saw. The manager said that he knew about the rats. But he couldn't use poisons in the theater to get rid of them. So, Farrel suggested introducing some cats to the theater at night. The manager agreed to it and asked Farrel to find the cats. And he also asked Farrel to remove the cats in the morning and any dead rats that might be around.
Farrel found 4 large cats and took them to the theater. The cats were first kept in cages. Farrel thought they were ready for their duties as night “watchmen”. When the movie was over, Farrel opened the cage and released the new “night guards”. He left and headed home with a little excitement running through his mind. He couldn't help thinking about how many dead rats he would find the next morning.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The next morning, Farrel opened the front door of the theater, and to his surprise, all 4 cats shot out of the
door and down to the street.

Later that day, Farrel's dad persuaded him to borrow a Rat Terrier from the local dog pound (流浪狗收留所). _____________________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________
