2．Imagine the situation.You are driving along a desert or on a mountain.You have no idea where you are.You passed the last house two hours ago.Then your car breaks down.It is night and it is cold.You have no mobile phone.What do you do？Well，next time take a GPS with you.This invention may be able to help you.It is a device which uses satellites to find the user's position.A GPS cannot start your car，but at least you will know where you are.
GPS，which means Global Positioning System，is a small radio receiver.It looks like a mobile phone.You can hold it in your hand，or put it in your pocket.It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone.We also find GPS devices in cars，planes，or boats.Some of these devices have electronic maps，so you know where you are.For example，in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System.The first part is the receiver.You can hold it in your hand，or have it fixed into your car，plane，etc.The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth.The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position.The third part of the system is a network of ground stations.They are all over the world.They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
The GPS is becoming cheaper and more and more accurate.There are also new uses for the GPS.Perhaps they will become like watches.Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

3．It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp（軍營）.It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White，an officer of forty，was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
Once Mr.White was ill in bed.He couldn't work and a young officer，Mr.Hunt，began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.
"I'm sorry，sir，" said the first soldier. "I left the town on time.But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back."
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons.It was the last soldier's turn.He said，"I'm sorry，sir.I got on a bus on time，but…"
Having heard this，the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out， "If you say something was wrong with your bus，I'll punish you at once!"
"No，no，sir，" said the young man. "My bus was all right，but the dead horse were in its way!"

4．A night at the movies is always a good idea.But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped ＄45 on a ticket and some snacks，you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix.The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was ＄5.39；now，a ticket is over ＄9.
The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation （通貨膨脹）.It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now.A ticket in 1978 cost ＄2.34.If you plug that into an inflation calculator，the same ticket would cost you ＄9.46 today.According to the National Association of Theater Owners，the average cost for a ticket today is ＄9.11.
Another reason you need to spend some of your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films，such as Netflix，Hulu，and Amazon.And let's be honest，sitting at home on your sofa or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
Because of streaming technology，theaters have to do something to bring in customers.Attractions—including alcohol，reclining seats （躺椅），surround sound，and 3-D movies are all examples of that.And those upgrades come at a price，leading to more expensive tickets.
"There's all that extra cost，and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible，" Patrick Corcoran，vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. "Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology.Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience."
（1）According to the passage，what makes movie tickets so expensive？
A．The viewers are wealthier than before.
B．The movie theatres offer popcorns，alcohol for free.
C．Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
D．The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
（2）We can learn from the passage that.
A．Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres
B．with comfortable seats，theatres are more attractive than streaming services
C．the viewers actually pay more for the updates of the movie theatres
D．the theater owners and companies update the theaters to make the theatres famous
（3）Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with？
A．It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
B．The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
C．It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.
D．The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofas or in the beds.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
B．Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres
C．The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services
D．How to Save the Viewers' Wallets組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

5．One of the things I want to plan well this year is how to manage my weight during the holidays.Because，let's face it，the next few weeks are some of the toughest weeks of the year when it comes to eating well.（1）
？If so，join me in taking these four steps to better health，less guilt and more peace of mind.
（2）
Yes，Thanksgiving，Hanukkah and Christmas provide a lot of opportunities to eat at family dinners，parties，church events，shopping trips，and many others.But those events don't happen every day-many days between now and New Year's Day are normal work，school and family days.So don't let every day become a "holiday eating event" and try to manage your weight.
Eat the holiday foods you really love，and avoid the ones you don't
Everyone has favorite holiday foods.Three of mine are pumpkin pie and ginger cookies and sweet potatoes.Maybe for you it's your mother's Christmas cookies，your neighbor's homemade candy，or your special coconut cake.So enjoy those foods，the ones that make the holidays special for you.But many holiday foods don't hold a special place in your heart.And some of them are worthless junk that doesn't deserve to be eaten. （3）.
Move your body every day
Regular physical activity helps you deal with some of the downsides of the holiday season，including worry，fatigue，the "blues"，and too many calories. （4）.At this busiest time of the year，you'll think you don't have time for it.But make time-it's worth it.
Drink lots of water and eat real food most of the time
Carry water with you wherever you go，and keep a bottle or glass handy at home or work.If you don't like plain water，make fruit waters. （5）.When you're not enjoying your favorite holiday foods，eat primarily fruits，vegetables，lean protein，nuts，whole grains，and healthy fats.
A.So avoid those foods
B.Are you trying to keep a balanced diet
C.And eat as much real food as possible
D.Are you looking for a way to manage your weight too
E.Time permitting，I do hope to taste different kinds of food
F.Don't allow the holiday season to become a six-week "eating season"
G.It reduces stress，helps you feel energized，burns calories，and generally makes you feel great組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

8．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。
When Bryan Anderson noticed an old lady，caught on the side of the road，he knew she needed help.So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out with his motor still running.
Even with a big smile on his face，she was worried.He didn't look safe；he looked poor and hungry.After reading her mind，he introduced himself as Bryan Anderson and began to help her.
Learning that she had a flat tire，without a second thought，Bryan set out to work and took hours to get it right，dirty and tired.She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.
With everything done，the lady asked how much she owed him.Any amount would have been all right with her.She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened.Bryan never thought about being paid.This was helping someone in need.He had lived his whole life that way，and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
Bryan told her that if she really wanted to pay him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person help the way he gave her，and he added，"And think of me to let the chain of love pass on."
Hearing that she owed him nothing，with tears rolling down her cheeks，the old lady drove off with a deep "Thank you".
A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe.She went in to grab a bite to eat，and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home.In the dirty-looking restaurant，the whole scene was unfamiliar to her；a waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair.She had a sweet smile，one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn't erase.The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant，but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude.Then she remembered Bryan.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
After the lady finished her meal，she paid with a ＄100 bill.___________________
