2． I did return to college.But the pressure of a full-time job and college classes was hard to bear.
One Friday afternoon，a co-worker asked about my weekend plans.I tried to avoid these conversations because I had no money and schoolwork was demanding.To prevent any further conversation，I said， "Oh，I am taking a mini vacation，just a little weekend holiday." There was surprise but no further conversation.
"What a cheat I am，" I thought. "And they will want details on Monday.It will just stress me more when they all find out that I lied."
On the long drive home from work，I made a plan.I could pretend I was on vacation and never go anywhere.At home，I pulled down all the shades，checked my messages and shut off the phone.Then I jumped in the shower and put on sweats.With some snacks in my easy reach，I took out three books that I had been anxious to read for the past months. "Well，I am on vacation.This can be my imaginary holiday.I will check in with the world on Monday morning，" I said to myself.Then I cracked open the first book.By Sunday evening，I was well into the third book.
When the alarm went off on Monday morning，I dressed，had breakfast and went to work.I was busy when several co-workers came by. "Wow，" they said， "you must have had a great vacation.You look so rested." It wasn't until then that I realized I wasn't stressed anymore.
"Maybe，" I told them， "it was just an imaginary holiday." They laughed and went off to their desks.
I did graduate from college eventually and got a job with some paid vacation.But I still take imaginary holidays where I turn off the phone and electronics，tell everyone that I will be "away" and spend a weekend reading.
I have decided that imaginary holidays are one way I can take care of myself.Perhaps that was part of my college education.

3． Recently released test scores from some of California's largest school districts — representing more than 1 million students — offer a preview of what's likely to be sharp drops in reading and math scores statewide in the wake of COVID epidemic （流行?。?
Only 13% of students in Bakersfield met the state standard for math.Reading scores in Los Angeles Unified dipped only slightly from 2019 to 2022.Still，only 41% of students in 2022 were skilled in reading.Math scores in Fresno dropped by a third.In 2022，only 21% of students met the math standard.Reading scores in Long Beach dropped 11 points，but declines were less steep in jye.ai.Math scores fell only 4 points.
"That's not a surprise，considering the difficulties teachers and students faced as they returned from distance learning，" said Robert Sahli，a headmaster. "The epidemic was tough for everyone....But these scores signal that we need to make a personalized，intensive effort to help kids catch up and recoup what they've lost."
Like other districts，Lodi has hired more tutors and teachers to help students catch up，beefed up summer school and after-school academic offerings，adopted new curricula （課程） and taken other steps to help students.
"Steps like that could be the most useful result of the Smarter Balanced scores，" said Lucrecia Santibanez，associate professor of education at UCLA．"Closely analyzing the data and using it to forge a path forward — specifically for certain groups of students — are more useful than assigning blame，" she said.
"Although the scores are disappointing，they can be an important tool to help schools find resources in the future，" she said. "The scores can provide a window into what exact content students have missed，where they're falling behind and which students need the most help."
（1）What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2？
A．The ranking of schools' test scores.
B．The pass rate in math and reading tests.
C．The comparison between math and reading.
D．The declines in math and reading test scores.
（2）What does the underlined word "recoup" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Look for.
B．Make up for.
C．Adjust to.
D．Come up with.
（3）What is Lucrecia Santibanez's attitude towards Lodi's measures？
A．Supportive.
B．Disappointed.
C．Mixed.
D．Critical.
（4）What is Lucrecia Santibanez's advice to teachers？
A．Increase after-school activities.
B．Find out their own problems.
C．Understand learning situation.
D．Take advantage of teaching tools.組卷：1引用：2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)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Moving In My eighty-five-year-old mother offered that familiar tilt （歪頭） of the head，the one that told me something was up.I tensed my shoulders and bit my lip，waiting for whatever was coming next.
I could handle it.She was predictable，though dramatic.I expected her to express her thoughts on the latest news or share the senior community news.
Instead，she calmly said，as though she were sharing her dinner menu， "I'm going to downsize and sell my house and nearly everything I own." The breaking news was followed by a matter of fact stare.
"Do what？" I asked. "I'll be a floater，" she said.
"I'll stay with you，then with my brothers in Maine，and then with some of my friends.I'll just float around and enjoy myself." She laughed as though she'd just discovered the perfect lifestyle. "I'll take my cat everywhere with me.I can't bear to leave him behind or give him away.What do you think？"
"No one will want you to show up with your cat." My answer seemed a shock to her.After only seconds，she added， "Well，I just won't tell them he's coming.We'll just show up.What can they do？"
Shocked，I took a deep breath and forced myself to respond by explaining all the reasons why selling，moving in with me，and fearlessly dragging the cat across the country in secret were terrible ideas.
Unbothered，she simply said， "You're so dramatic.It'll be fine."
I didn't take her announcement seriously.A few days after her announcement，my brother and I enjoyed a few laughs over her idea.After all，our mother was too independent to be placed in a place long-term with any of her children.She had made this clear on many occasions when I'd begged to live next door to her.I'd wanted to be close enough to watch over her but not too close，but she'd always refused.
I enjoyed living alone，hearing the quiet，writing and reading.I hated noise.My mother loved radio，television，and phone calls，endless phone calls.We would not make good housemates.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在相應(yīng)位置作答。
I really panicked when she started having yard sales.
I took her to my home from the hospital happily，no longer bothered by her moving in.
