2． Every community has an ice cream store，but not all of them have a mission.When Charles Foreman opened his store，Everyday Sundae，he had a goal in mind， "My objective is to make a positive impact in my community by treating people like family and remembering them，" he said.
With his business slogan，"A place for community，" Foreman's store has quickly gained a devoted following.Customers visit to enjoy their favorite flavors；artwork and cards from them decorate the walls；and some purchase their paper napkins there to support the store.Foreman has also organized events like storybook readings accompanied by sweet treats for children.What truly sets this business apart is the free ice cream that Foreman generously gives out.
"You know when they come in，you can see jye.ai.It was natural to notice some of the kids have it and others don't.So I'm going to sponsor them." Foreman said as he talked about how he can tell when a visitor wants a treat they can't afford."I just want to do some positive things.I believe my community is missing a family-friendly ice cream shop."
One day，Nicole Harkin，one of his regular customers，noticed Foreman give a free ice cream to children without money.For Foreman，this was a constant gesture that had just gone unnoticed，but Harkin reacted with surprise.She came back and handed him an envelope containing 100 dollars.Foreman was so touched by Harkin's gift that he posted it on Instagram.Foreman and Harkin's kind behaviors also moved other customers to cover Foreman's free ice creams for people they didn't know.Foreman's ice cream fund has received many donations since then.
"When you see people doing their best，you want to do your best，" Foreman said. "Everything is contagious，whether you do something negative or positive.We're supposed to do all we can to help each other."

3． One of the things that we expect from the ocean is is deep blue color that reflects the sky.Scientists at UC San Diego Institution of Oceanography along with scientists at the University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing（染）the ocean at San Diego beach pink.What could they possibly be up to？
This is being done for a study that examines how freshwater outflows are combining with the ocean surf zone.The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions （PiNC）." I'm excited because this research hasn't been done before and it's a unique experiment，" said Sarah Giddings，a coastal oceanographer leading the study."The aim is to understand how freshwater interacts with waves，since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more buoyant（有浮力的）."
The freshwater is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when freshwater is added to the seawater.The dye is environmentally friendly and is then spotted as it makes progress in the water.It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located along the sand as well as by drones（無人機(jī)），There's also a jet ski with a fluorometer that tracks the light that is given out from the pink dye.The sensors outside of the surf zone record the height of the waves，ocean currents and temperature.There are three planned dye releases as of now，and researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants travel in the ocean water through these additions of freshwater.
Giddings explained："We're bringing together different people with different expertise，such that I think it's going to have some great results and impacts.We'll combine results from this experiment with an older field study and computer models that will allow us to make progress on understanding how the dyed freshwater spread."
（1）What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions？
A．To introduce the benefits of dyeing the ocean.
B．To study how freshwater combines with seawater.
C．To prove that freshwater is much warmer than seawater.
D．To examine the impact of freshwater on the ocean surf zone.
（2）Why is the pink dye used by the team？
A．It is easier to be recognized by them.
B．It can effectively catch the sunlight.
C．It is the only eco-friendly dye.
D．It can actively cooperate with sensors.
（3）Which of the following is expected to record in the experiment？
A．The time of ocean currents.
B．The power of the waves.
C．The change of temperature.
D．The travel of pollutants.
（4）What will researchers probably do next？
A．Build more scientific computer models.
B．Experiment with dyes of different colors.
C．Make a further research into the results.
D．Discuss the results with different experts.組卷：2引用：5難度：0.3

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
We call Talent Show the biggest stage in our country.I stood on that huge stage，with my throat dry.As I stared at the audience，I knew this moment could change my life forever.When judges asked my name and I tried to speak，nothing came out.The crowd fell silent，waiting for the words to come.Finally I stuttered（結(jié)巴地說） my name and my age."As you can tell，"I said，"I have a speech disorder...."
I'd love to sing and had already signed up for the school talent show in fourth grade when I started stuttering.Fortunately，most of the kids at my school were kind，and I was rarely made fun of.I tried speech therapy too，but it didn't help.I feared to sing in the school talent show.Therefore，I decided to practice at home.To my surprise，the words came smoothly when I sang.And then I decided to learn to play the guitar，which was given as a birthday gift by my father.
One afternoon，I walked into the basement，where I kept my musical equipment.My eyes lit on the guitar.I picked it up and started playing.I opened my mouth，and the words came flooding out.Then I wrote a song called I Will Trust，telling the pain I'd experienced.The next day，I filmed a video of performing the song and posted it online.Hundreds of strangers left comments that I had uplifted them with my music.Ever since，I've been writing songs.
Last year，I started college and majored in music production.When I saw Talent Show audition （試唱）announcement pop up on my computer，I wanted to have a try.Several months later，I was standing on that stage，trying to calm my nerves as I introduced myself."I have a speech impediment，"I said."It was definitely something that caused me to…，"I took a long pause to find the words."…to hide.But I found that I don't stutter when I sing."
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

Then I began to sing a new song I'd just written.
My performance on Talent Show had a deep influence on me.組卷：4引用：5難度：0.5
