A woman who had a stroke（中風） while on a Face Time video call with her sister，said the technology saved her life.Esmee Russell，head of the Stroke Association，said， "A stroke can happen to anyone，at any age，at any time.That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast：it could save a life." Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot（凝塊），or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong，who lives alone in New York，was on a call with her sister，Adumea Sapong，in Manchester，when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister "didn't look right".And she also noticed her sister's voice was slurred（口齒不清）.Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58-year-old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time.Ms Kwapong said， "My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right.She also said that I was slurring my words，but I thought she was making a fuss（大驚小怪） and I didn't believe her."
Mrs Sapong said when she called Kwapong，she said that she had not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. "I said， 'Perhaps you need to take some medicine.' She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn't able to.Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping.I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor.She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters，who is a doctor，and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred.We both told her to call for help at once."
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services.
Ms Kwapong said， "There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life.

1．閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構成一個完整的故事．
One winter Sunday， my little sister， Colleen， and I built the greatest snowman ever． We gave him a carrot nose， beautiful hat， cozy scarf and gloves． He was a masterpiece（杰作）．
The next morning when looking outside， we smiled lovingly at him over our meal． We gave him a high-five as we passed by on our way to school． A lot of kids went past our house， so he was the hot topic at our school that morning． It was our pride!
The day dragged on until finally we could rush home． But as our yard came into sight， we saw something wrong． The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here， a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere． Worst of all， the snowman's once-proud carrot nose lay limp（無力的） and half-eaten．
What had happened？ We were both astonished and angry． But then， we were only kids， who wouldn't have anything taking away our happiness． Actually we knew only one thing： Our snowman would rise again． And so we rebuilt him．
The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn（草坪）． For the rest of the week， the destruction was repeated daily． Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman had fallen apart， and then we built again．
By Saturday morning， we had a plan． We borrowed a really big bucket（水桶） from Mom， filled it with water and left it outside． The next morning， it was frozen solid． We packed snow all around the ice block as the base（底座） of the snowman． Then we built the other parts of it once again． The trap was set， and we waited for the snowman bullies（破壞者） to come．

I had just a very wonderful day.Although all my days were always wonderful to me，that day was completely different.There was a bulletin（公告）board saying that they would need to find volleyball players for the girls and I was so happy!I have been loving playing volleyball since my mother taught me how to play.I was so excited that I couldn't wait to play!Then I read more what was on that bulletin board，which said that here would be an audition（試演）after three weeks! "Three weeks？" I thought about it I did know how to play volleyball but I was not much of an expert in doing it but I still wanted to try.
After that I was determined to practice volleyball every day.I practiced hard again and again each day and never got tired of doing the same practice through all the days，and finally，the day came.I was so prepared for this and hurried to the gym to the audition.When I had reached the gym，I was surprised to see that 12 or 14 girls were lining up and I guessed I was the last one to arrive.Then our audition began.Some of the girls failed to pass the audition and some passed.
There was only one position left to complete the 6 girls to join the volleyball team and suddenly I felt nervous because the person in front of me was going to take the serve（發(fā)球）.Then the girl hit the ball and then the ball didn't pass over the net!The girl hit her forehead and left，leaving me standing in the middle of the court.

3．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。
If there's one thing I can't stand people saying，it's，"I'm no good at anything...I don't have any talent." I just don't buy that at all.To me，everyone has at least one talent，and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find，it does exist.There was a time，of course，when I didn't believe that.What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place back in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student.I was a funny-looking skinny little boy named Eugene Orowitz，who weighed barely 100 pounds.I was a good student，but as far as I was concerned，in just about every other department I was a loser.I desperately wanted to fit in，to be something and do something well.But I hadn't found anything I was good at.One sunny afternoon，our gym class went out to the school's running track.The teacher taught us all various track and field events.I was a loser in all of them.Then came the javelin（標槍）.Suddenly something inside me began saying，"Try it!Try it!" I had to wait my turn，though，because several others wanted a break at the javelin too.Shy and scared，I watched them，trying not to look too eager.Finally，when everyone had had a chance to throw—the best throw going about 30 yards—I looked at the teacher.
"Hey，Orowitz，you want to try？" he asked.
Embarrassed，I looked down，but managed to nod my head.
"Well，come on then，" he said impatiently，and handed me the javelin.Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing.As I grasped the javelin in my hand，I was seized with a strange feeling—a new-found excitement.For some crazy reason，I was relaxed over what I was about to do，even though I'd never done it before.I raised the javelin over my head，took six quick steps and let the thing go.The same voice that had urged me into throwing it，now told me it was a good throw.
注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右。
I watched as the spear took off.My heart quickened______
That night I took the javelin home with me.______發(fā)布：2024/12/18 3:0:1組卷：9引用：1難度：0.2
