(2019·重庆调研)A five－year－old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.
The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns(秋裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around －4℃.
After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.
“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10：30 p．m．，” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking．”
Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side，” Bob recalled. “She kept me warm. I knew I couldn’t give up and that it was my choice to stay alive．”
Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold day. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6：30 p．m. on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him...He was very fortunate．”
Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey. “They saved my life. They are truly heroes！”

(2019·沈阳质量监测)Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s
citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.
The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5，500 miles to Fujairah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.
The c ompany’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman AI Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather．”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under the water, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world，” Mr. AI Shehi added.

When I was back on the stairway, I sudden
saw a black shadow behind me. I was frightening and cried. On that very moment, Lily came. She rushed to the shadow and shouts loudly until it disappeared. Then we ran to home safely.
答案：
I have many friends, and Lily is one of the best. We have been playing together
before ①since
we were young. She is such ∧②a pretty girl that when
people meet him
③her ， they always say, “Oh, how lovely ”. Lily is also
very brave. One evening two weeks ago, my mum sent me to buy some salt
or ④and sugar downstair ⑤downstairs . When I was back on the stairway, I sudden
⑥suddenly

⑧At
that
very moment, Lily came. She rushed to the shadow and shouts
⑨shouted

until it disappeared. Then we ran ⑩to home safely.
①before 改为since 。

考查连词。

since 意为“自从……以来”时，从句和主句的时态不一致，即：从句一般用过去时，主句用现在时或现在完成时，而before 引导状语从句时，主从句时态一致。

根据语境可知，此处用连词since 。

②such 后加a 。

考查冠词。

girl 是单数可数名词，此处为第一次在文中出
现，且pretty 发音以辅音音素开头。

故用不定冠词a 修饰。

③him 改为her 。

考查代词。

此处与文中的She 呼应，故用代词her 作宾语。

④or 改为and 。

考查连词。

根据语境可知，此处前后表示并列关系，而非选择关系，故用连词and 。

⑤downstair 改为downstairs 。

考查副词。

分析句子结构可知，此处应用副
词downstairs ，在句中作状语。

⑥sudden 改为suddenly 。

考查副词。

分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词
suddenly 修饰动词saw ，在句中作状语。

⑦frightening 改为frightened 。

考查形容词。

根据句子的主语为I 可知，
这里应用frightened ，形容人，意为“受惊的，害怕的”。

而frightening 作形容词，一般修饰物，意为“令人害怕的”。

⑧On 改为At 。

考查介词。

on 表示具体的日期，而at 表示具体的时间点，
此处表示时间点的概念，故用介词At 。

⑨shouts 改为shouted 。

考查动词的时态。

根据语境并分析句子结构可知，shout 和rush 为两个并列的动作，时态应保持一致，因此应用一般过去时shouted 。

⑩删除to 。

考查介词。

home 在此处是副词，故其前不用介词，直接在句中作状语。

故删除to 。
