2 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Amanda felt as gray as the sky outside when she looked across the table at her little sister. Li sat on her seat, drinking from her cup.

“Mom, why does Li hate me?”

“Honey, she doesn't hate you. Li is still getting used to you,” Mom said. “It's only been two weeks.”

“But look,” Amanda took a cookie off her dish and held it out to Li.

“Want to eat it?”

As soon as Li saw Amanda reaching over, her eyes widened. Li quickly got down from her seat and raced to her room.

“See?” Amanda said to Mom. “I thought being a big sister would be fun.”

Over a year ago, Amanda’s parents said that they were adopting(收养)a daughter from China, and Amanda had danced with excitement. She'd dreamed of taking her sister to the park, reading books to her, and teaching her to ride a bicycle. That hadn’t happened.

“She runs away whenever I get close,” Amanda said.

Mom took Amanda’s hand. “Think of how frightening it is for her. She’s in a new country with a new family.”

“I just wish I knew how to help her,” Amanda said, thinking of Li's frightened eyes.

Amanda went into the family room and sat down on the sofa. How could she help Li? She’d sung songs to her, drawn pictures for her, and made funny faces. None of that had worked.

Amanda turned on the TV. She stopped to watch a film about a dog and a cat. The film was in another language. The show looked funny, but she didn't understand any of it. It made Amanda remember when they were in China. She had gotten frustrated(沮丧的)when people talked in Chinese.

That' s it. Amanda turned off the TV and sped to her room. She found the CDs Aunt Linda gave her last year to help her learn some Chinese.

Amanda tiptoed(踮着脚走)to Li's room. Looking in, Amanda saw Li curled up(卷缩)in a ball on her bed. She could hear Li sobbing(哭泣). Amanda knocked on the open door.

Li moved to the back of her bed.

5 . At first look, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore seems familiar to kids. The slowly moving sand, seabirds and miles of greenish-blue water all add up to one thing — the sea. But then, somewhere — maybe on the pile (堆) of sand called Dune Run — the kids stop, realize this is Michigan, a landlocked state in the US, and ask,“How did the sea get here?"

It didn't. This is Lake Michigan.It's a lake — a great one — and the water is fresh, not salty, says Lisa Myers, chief of interpretation (讲解) and visitor services at Sleeping Bear.

“When my family comes here from New England in the north-eastern US, they all have to taste the water", she says. “The area looks like Cape Cod in my home town. You can't believe this isn't the coast."

“Playing on the Dune Run is like being in a huge sandbox,"says Myers. But there's so much more. Help kids see the park through a wider lens (镜片) by walking along the sandy Lake Michigan beach.

“With their feet on the sand and in the water,kids can see there are waves (波浪),” says Myers,"They can watch fish,otters and beavers swimming in the lake."

July and August are best for water play, but winter is magical for kids, adds Myers."They can walk the beaches to see all the ice formations (形态) and crashing waves,”she says.“We offer snowshoe walks in January and February,when kids can look for marks left by animals. And when it' s windy, they can stand on the Dune Run and feel the forces of nature.The kids can run or roll down the hill, too, which is a whole lot of fun."

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

With the reform of Chinese higher education, more and more colleges and universities put emphasis on nurturing students’ abilities.     1     a consequence, electivecourses are available not only for excellent    2    (academy) performers but also for students of the average level. Certainly, students have different reasons    3    (choose) their own electives. For some, practical skills are the essence (本质)of college education, and therefore, courses on computer science, marketing, and finance    4     (prefer). On the other hand, others may hold the idea of liberal education and electives    5    (concern) literature, history, and philosophy are the most welcome.

Take me as     6     example: being a disciple of free education, I stand for the idea that university is not a place for survival skills,     7    a palace of knowledge and critical reasoning.     8    my major is chemistry, the electives I attend most     9    (frequent) are English literature, an introduction to Classic Music, and Different Schools of Western Painting.     10    really widen my horizons.
