4 . After a magnitude 6.8 earthquake hit Luding county in Southwest China’s Sichuan province on Monday, rescuers from across the province have rushed to the hardest-hit areas to help affected local people.

During the search and rescue operations, the photo of a young rescuer holding a 2-month old baby in his arms has pulled the heartstrings of many people. Zhang Zili and fellow members from the Forest Fire Brigade of Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture (自治区) discovered the baby and her grandmother trapped at their home in a village on Tuesday. The rescuers have carried the baby, who suffered as light head injury, and his grandma to safety. The baby’s father is also a firefighter who was participating in rescue operations after the quake hit the area. His mother and grandfather were seriously injured and sent to hospital.

He and his family lived in a temporary, shelter setup at a school playground. “I remembered the tent we lived in was dark, and I was scared,” Zhang said. Here called how emergency supplies were air-dropped from” helicopters and how soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army and rescuers helped locals get over the difficulties. “Then a uncle of the PLA came to me. He taught me songs to sing and played with me. He kept saying, “Don’t be afraid. We are here now.” The words left a deep impression on the boy’s heart.

This year, when he learnt that the local forest fire brigade was recruiting (招聘) firefighters, he did not hesitate to join it. Since then, in less than four months, he has taken part in several forest firefighting missions and rescue operations of the latest earthquake.

8 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Melia and her father had just finished building a tree house in the backyard. Melia wanted to decorate the walls, and instead of buying things, she decided to make her own art.

Melia enjoyed making collages using a combination of photos she had taken and pieces of fabric. For her tree house, she thought she would use pictures from magazines instead. She could collect used magazines from neighbors, so the pictures would be free. And to create a collage of all her favorite things, she could add pretty leaves, and fruits of pine tree from the yard.

For several days, Melia collected bits of nature to use for the collage. She also collected magazines from the neighbors. She piled both at the front door, as her plan was to make the collage over the weekend. Oddly, though she added to the piles each day, many of the leaves were gone, and the pile of magazines was a mess.

“Dad? Mom?” Melia asked. “Have either of you been taking the supplies for my collage off the door?” “Now, why on earth would we do that?” her dad answered with a question. “I don’t know, but what I do know is that someone is spoiling my art project! It’s my mission to find out who and why!” Melia declared.

Who would want to steal this stuff? She had a plan. She cleaned up the rest of the leaves and threw the ruined magazines in the recycling bin. She started collecting old magazines again, hoping to set a trap. Even if she had to stay up all night, Melia was determined to solve the case.

Once she had collected a large pile of magazines, Melia formed several piles at the front door. She placed them close to the window so that she could catch the thief. She asked her parents if she could sleep on the sofa. “I know they’re used magazines, but I need them for my art project. I have to solve this case!”

Melia was determined to catch the thief, but she had a difficult time staying awake. Within a few hours, she nodded off. Just as the sun was rising, a slight sound awoke her.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Melia looked through the window, and her eyes opened wide!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Melia ran back into the house, shouting, “It’s a squirrel! Wake up! Come to the tree house and look!”

9 . The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox.     1     Here’s what we can do.

Come Up With a Plan.

    2     — after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff.

Create No­Phone Zones.

“My No.1 piece of advice is no phone in the bedroom overnight,” Dr. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said. “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.”    3     The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect.

    4    

Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling. For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about.     5    

A．Resist the Hooks.

B．Not all screen time is bad.

C．Say no to Facebook or Twitter.

D．So I turned to psychology experts for their advice.

E．Whenever we are at home, we can put phones away.

F．Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other No­Phone Zones.

G．If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to grayscale mode.
