2．Some say everyday miracles are predestined — the right time for the appointed meeting.And it can happen anywhere.
In 2001，11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother's Little League team in Lancaster，New York.It was an early evening in late July.Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate，where another youngster was warming up for the next game，swinging his bat back and forth，giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give.The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest.His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground，the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid.Penny Brown hadn't planned to be there that day，but at the last minute，her shift at the hospital had been changed to see her son's performance.She was given the night off.Penny bent over the senseless boy，his face already starting to turn blue，and giving CPR，breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions.And he revived in the end.
After his recovery，he became a volunteer junior firefighter，learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life.He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin，now 18，was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming，customers in confusion，employees rushing toward a table.He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there，her face turning blue，her hands at her throat.She was choking.
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her，wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands.Then，using skills he'd first learned in Scouts.The food that was trapped in the woman's throat was freed.The color began to return to her face. "The food was stuck.I couldn't breathe，" she said.She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened."

3．"Clean your plate!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent.Often，it is accompanied by an appeal： "Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!" Sure，we should be grateful for every bite of food.Unfortunately，many people in the US take too many bites.Instead of staying "clean the plate"，perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.
According to news reports，US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies.A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer，with two to four times the amount recommended by the government，according to a USA Today story.Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that.They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.
Barbara Rolls，a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University，told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s，the same time that the American waistline began to expand.
Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions.Now，apparently，some customers are calling for this too.The restaurant industry trade believed restaurants serve portions that are too large；23 percent had no opinion；20 percent disagreed.But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions.70 percent of those earning at least ﹩ 150，000 per year prefer smaller portions；but only 45 percent of those earning less than ﹩ 25，000 want smaller.
It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthily.It's just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal.They live from paycheck to paycheck，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents.
（1）"Clean your plate!" in the first paragraph means.
A．to wash the plate
B．not to eat too much
C．not to waste the food
D．to help the starving orphans
（2）American restaurants serve large portions because.
A．Americans are good at eating
B．Americans value the amount
C．the restaurants want people to keep healthy
D．the government recommends the amount
（3）What happened in the 1970s？
A．The government recommended serving small portions.
B．Americans began to realize the importance of health.
C．Health experts predicted that restaurant portion sizes began to grow.
D．People in the United States began to gain weight.
（4）What does the survey indicate？
A．Many poor Americans want large portions.
B．20 percent Americans want smaller portions.
C．70 percent Americans earn at least ﹩ 150，000 per year.
D．45 percent Americans earn less than ﹩ 25，000 per year.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.7

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
There was something in the elderly woman's grace that caught my eye.Although slow and unsure of her steps，the woman moved with deliberation（從容），and there was no hesitation in her gestures.
It was a few years ago，and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall.From inside the store，I could see the people outside rushing by.
The elderly woman entered the store，along with her daughter，who was displaying a serious case of impatience，rolling her eyes，sighing and checking her watch every few seconds.I guessed if she had possessed a rope，she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf.After the slightest hesitation，I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman，I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back，I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother，who'd passed away the previous Christmas.I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I'd used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store，I introduced its floor plan：old television shows，action movies，cartoons，science fiction.The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me，saying that it was the one she'd enjoyed when she was her daughter's age.Unwillingly，I accompanied her to the cash register，realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter，who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register，I walked over to her daughter.______
Together they made their way toward the store's exit.______組卷：8引用：2難度：0.7
