2．I had moved to Japan for a long-term client consulting engagement.After a few days in a Tokyo hotel，I moved to an apartment.After being moved in by my colleagues，it was time to get dinner.I found a pizza deliver flyer in my mailbox and decided to simply order a pizza as I might have the previous week in Manhattan.The phone call to Cali Pizza was easier than anticipated and while waiting for the pizza I set about unpacking.
Unfortunately，after 45 minutes no pizza.I figured that my "easy" call really wasn't and that I would need to make alternate plans for dinner.While thinking about what to do next，my phone rang.It was Cali Pizza calling to say that they could not find my apartment based on the address that I had given them.Once it was determined that I had provided an incorrect address，the clerk on the phone asked me to describe what I could see from my window.After some back and forth they seemed satisfied that they knew where I was.
A few minutes later the pizza arrived.This is when my "customer delight" experience took over.First，the delivery person apologized repeatedly for being late，then he showed me the small blue metal plate on my building with the correct address，and finally he refused to accept payment for the pizza because he was late.Net result：one delighted customer （me） ，and frequent orders from Cali Pizza during my two-year stay in Japan.

3．The flip-flop is the simplest shoe on the planet.It consists of a piece of rubber，plastic，leather，or other material in the outline of a foot，with a strap （帶子） holding the sandal （涼鞋） to a wearer's toes.The name comes from the sound the sandals make when they slap the walking feet.
The earliest record of people wearing the flip-flop comes from Egypt，but many ancient cultures had their own variants of the footwear.In the Greek version，the toe strap ran between the first and second toes，while Roman sandals had the strap between the second and third toes.The Mesopotamians wore the strap between the third and fourth toes.In India， "toe knob" sandals had a knob between the first and second toes.
Modern flip-flops derive from Japanese zōris，which were often worn with socks dividing the big toe from the rest，and were typically made of rice straw.During World War II，Japan seized much of Southeast Asia's rubber.In 1945，destroyed by the war，the country set about establishing a cheap industry that could rebuild its economy.The Japanese used their rubber reserves from the war to produce the simplest Japanese footwear.Rubber thus replaced rice straw as the major material for the flip-flop.
In the 1950s，flip-flops became popular in the United States as soldiers returning from occupied Japan brought zōris home.The sandals became a little different，often appearing in bright colors in line with Californian beach culture.They have remained popular due to their convenience，and are often worn with bathing suits or summer clothing.Some people also wear dressy versions for more formal occasions.
Despite their popularity，flip-flops bring some questions.Their simple design is responsible for many foot injuries.Another issue is the suitability of exposing feet on the street and places other than the beach.But even more serious is their environmental impact：Millions of plastic discards end up in landfills or the ocean，releasing chemicals and at the same time taking centuries to break down.
（1）Why is the footwear discussed in the passage called "flip-flop"？
A．Because of the noise it makes.
B．Because of its changeable design.
C．Because of its simple structure.
D．Because of the comfort of wearing it.
（2）Which culture most likely created the sandals shown in the picture above？
A．Indian.
B．Greek.
C．Roman.
D．Mesopotamian.
（3）Which of the following is true about the modern development of the flip-flop？
A．Modern flip-flops came from Indian toe knob sandals.
B．Americans loved the Japanese flip-flop because of its bright colors.
C．Rubber became the major material of the flip-flop before World War II.
D．The sandals American soldiers brought home from Japan later became modern flip-flops.
（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a concern of wearing the flip-flop？
A．Personal health.
B．Poor quality.
C．Social appropriateness.
D．Sea pollution.組卷：9引用：1難度：0.9

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。
My school had a tradition during the ninth-grade graduation：a beautiful gold and green jacket（the school colors，was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for nine years.
I had been a straight A student since the first grade and had looked forward very much to owning that jacket.My father was a farm laborer who couldn't earn enough money to feed five children，so I was given to my grandparents to raise.There would never be a school sports jacket for us because we couldn't afford it.This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day in May，I happened to overhear in the office，Mr.Schmidt，my history teacher，and Mr.Boone，my math teacher arguing about me. "I refuse to do it！I don't care who her father is；her grades can't match Martha's at all.I won't lie or falsify（偽造）records." said Mr.Schmidt angrily.
But Mr.Boone's voice sounded calm. "Joann's father is not only on the Board（董事會，he owns the only store in town：we could say it was a close tie and…"
The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words，only a word here and there filtered through. "…Martha is Mexican…resign …won't do it …"
To this day I don't remember how I made it through the rest of the afternoon.That night，I cried into my pillow so Grandmother wouldn't hear me.
The next day when the principal called me into his office. "Martha，" he said， "There's been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket.This year the Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars，which still won't cover the complete cost of the jacket.So if you are unable to pay the money for the jacket，it will be given to the next one in line."
Standing with all the dignity I could find，I said，I'll speak to my grandfather about it，sir，and let you know tomorrow." That day，I cried sadly on the walk home.

1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應為 150 左右；
