When I was a child growing up in the Netherlands, I often begged my mother to tell me this story about an experience her family had at the end of World War Ⅱ.

During the terrible last winter of the German occupation, food was rare in the Netherlands. People were so hungry that they began to eat small animals and many things not normally considered edible（可食用的）, including tulip bulbs（郁金香球茎）, which could be cooked like potatoes.

For centuries my mother's family had owned a highly successful tulip business, which provided jobs for many in our village. But the war shut their business down, and during the winter of hunger, my grandfather, Albert, donated all his tulip bulbs to feed the hungriest villagers. For years, Albert had been trying to grow a black tulip. By careful selection, he was very close. So he guarded these few bulbs seriously to prevent people from stealing them for food.

One day, it was announced that the war was over. But there was much destruction and the Dutch people still faced dangers. My grandfather looked at his pale, thin children and realized that the hunger could continue for a long time, so he made his decision. He seized a shovel（铁铲）and went into the garden. There he found my mother, Vivian, who was just seven years old, looking nervous. Over her shoulder, Albert saw a band of Germans coming toward them down the street. He whispered to Vivian to run inside the house and began digging for his bulbs. But it was too late. Someone had already stolen them. Angry and desperate, he ran toward the street screaming, "They have stolen my tulip bulbs!" Vivian, watching from the doorway, cried out and ran to stop him. Before she could reach her father, a German soldier raised his gun and shot him.

注意：
1. 所续写短文词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好.

Fortunately, Albert survived his wounds and recovered slowly.

It took some time for Albert to rebuild his business, starting with those few bulbs.

4 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.

China is known for its brilliant civilization that     1    （continue）since the ancient times despite the many ups and downs in its history. It is     2    （wide）accepted that one of the reasons has been the Chinese writing system.

Several thousand years ago written Chinese was only symbols     3    （carve）on animal bones or shells. During the Shang Dynasty, these symbols became a well-developed writing system in a     4    （vary）of forms. This, however, changed in Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang united the seven major states into one unified country     5     the Chinese writing system began to develop in one direction. That writing system was     6     great importance in uniting the Chinese people and culture.

Written Chinese also serves as a vital way     7    （connect）China's present with its past. People in modern times can learn about the ancient Chinese by reading their classic works or     8    （appreciate）Chinese calligraphy.

Today, with China playing     9     greater role in global affairs, the Chinese writing system has established     10    （it）as a window through which more and more international students can access China's culture and history.

5 . Growing up in a city has a lifelong negative impact on a person's ability to navigate, according to a vast global survey.

In a new study, scientists led by Antonine Coutrot at Nantes University in France and Hugo Spiers at University College London describe how they used a dataset（数据集）gathered from 4 millions players of a computer game called "Sea Hero Quest", which tests way-finding skills by asking players to memorise a map showing the location of checkpoints and then measuring how well players can steer a boat to find them.

Dr. Spiers found that the strongest indicator of a high score was a player's age——older people performed relatively poorly. But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset（抵消）some of that, Data from American players showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.

"The gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people was largest in America, and the researchers think they know why. They found that countries dominated by simple layouts of grid-based（网格式的）cities dragged down navigation skills more than growing up in a city based around more complicated networks of streets, such as Prague.

Dr. Spiers says that the brain's navigational abilities probably weaken in the city environment because they are not being used as much. Although cities may appear more complicated, they also feature more clues to help residents find their way, such as numbered streets. As many city-dwellers on a visit to the countryside can prove, one field tends to look much the same as another, so there are fewer external（外部的）landmarks to help guide the way.

While people who live in cities should not be alarmed, the study does raise some interesting ideas for urban planners: keep their city designs not so simple perhaps. And for everyone else, it might be an idea to turn off Google Maps.

1. Why did the researchers use the dataset from a computer game?

A．To study the players' memory.

B．To measure how well people control boats.

C．To improve the players' skill to find way out.

D．To see what influences people's way-finding skills.

2. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Strong indicator.	B．Poor performance.
C．Old age.	D．High score.

3. What weakens the brain's navigational abilities according to Dr. Spiers?

A．Lack of practice.	B．Few external landmarks.
C．Living in the countryside.	D．Complicated city environment.

4. What is the best title of the passage?

A．Ways to Improve Navigational Skills

B．Reasons to Design Complicated Cities

C．Urban Living Weakens Navigational Skills

D．Turn off Google Maps while Exploring City

9 . The UK's first fully solar-powered home, which removes the need to ever receive a gas or electricity bill again, has gone on sale, but it will cost you £1.2 million.

The timber-framed home in Great Glen, Leicestershire, contains a number of “zero-carbon feature” including solar electric energy, triple glazing and rainwater storage. It is entirely heated by underground water-filled tubes that are warmed by solar energy from rooftop panels. The house was designed and built by Caplin Homes and covers two acres of land. The design and construction, down to the materials, were used specifically for their low carbon footprint.

The solar panels on the roof of the five-bedroom house are called hybrids because they collect both electrical and thermal energy. Solar walls preheat incoming air, and an Earth Energy Bank (EEB) and heat pump can store heat, and get it back for use when temperatures drop. The south-facing triple-glazed windows are said to also improve the house's energy management during the winter.

All the technologies are controlled by a control system, which monitors the inside and outside temperatures, how much energy is being received by the solar panels, and the heat levels in the EE domestic hot water tank. Due to its low energy design, the Solar House is expected to only require heat from the EEB for about 10 weeks of the year.

For £1.2 million, buyers also get two garages. Estate agent (房地产经纪人) Anthony Fox said the possibility of no utility bills was a big draw for potential owners: the idea is that your bills pretty much disappear and the house is self-sustaining and self-sufficient. That was a big aspect for most of the people who came to have a look around. “We had a lot of interest on the open day. There were some strong considerations to buy there and then. Everyone was very keen to learn how the house worked.” He added.

1. Which is true about the UK’s first fully solar-powered home?

A．It is directly heated by rooftop panels.

B．It has a set of heat-storage device available.

C．All of its materials are not environmentally friendly.

D．Its walls can keep cold air from coming in to store heat.

2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．The monitor of the temperature.

B．The amount of the received energy.

C．The function of the control system.

D．The significance of the new technologies.

3. What’s a big attraction for potential buyers according to Anthony Fox?

A．No gas or electricity bill.	B．Two additional garages.
C．Unique structure of the house.	D．Only £1.2 million for the house.

4. What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To advertise a zero-carbon house.

B．To recommend an amazing house.

C．To introduce a solar-powered house.

D．To explain how the low-energy house works.
