2 . 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。

Carl moved to Arizona in December. He came from the round, green mountains of Vermont to the Sonoran Desert where the mountains were sharp, brown, and wrinkled. Carl was homesick.

Carl’s new home was the town of Silverbell. Silverbell sat near a river with the same name. But there was not a drop of water in this river.

Carl hadn’t made any real friends yet. He always walked home from school alone. One day, though, he heard a lonely melody (旋律) floating in the wind. It sounded wonderful-and fitted Carl’s mood just right. He followed the music to the schoolyard and found Tadio, the kid who always sat by himself in the lunchroom. He sat on the steps playing a wooden flute (长笛).

“That song is wonderful!” Carl said.

“Thank you,” Tadio said with a bright, sunny smile.

“I’m Carl. I play, too.” He took out bis own silver flute.

“Ah, my name is Tadio. Let’s play together.”

Carl joined Tadio. They played Ode to Joy, a piece that they both knew by heart. The two got along so well that Carl felt comfortable telling Tadio about his homesickness.

“It just doesn’t feel like winter around here,” Carl said. “I don’t think it ever will. It’s too hot.”

Tadio said, “It feels like winter to me, but I’ve lived in Silverbell my whole life.”

“So, why is it called Silverbell anyway?” asked Carl.

“Because of the canyon (峡谷). My grandfather said at special times, one could hear her ring like a silver bell…for example when the rain poured down,” Tadio said.

Then Carl complained about Principal Ramire’s request for his flute solo at tomorrow’s winter concert.

“Ah, you are shy, but you play very well. Let’s meet tomorrow before the concert to practice. Maybe that will help ease your fear. I know a spot beside the canyon where I often go to play. Sometimes, her echo (回音) sounds like she’s singing with me,” Tadio laughed.

The next day was sunny and warm. After school, the two boys spread out a blanket beside Silverbell Canyon and played, stopping only when they heard the sound of distant thunder. The rain followed.

As the rain poured down, Carl started to understand what Tadio said earlier.

I was in my home office on a boring Sunday in May 2020 when I looked out of the window and saw my dad’s car parked in my driveway. I had thought I mistook another person for my dad. However, when I looked at the man carefully again, I found that he was indeed my dad. He was walking from the front door to his car and was just about to drive away. Why would he drive all the way to my house, only to turn around and leave? Had the doorbell stopped working? Was something wrong?

I raced downstairs, opened the door, and cried out, “Dad!” just before he made it out of the driveway. He looked up in surprise, and stopped the car. “What are you doing?” I asked.

My dad lived one hour away. I hadn’t seen him in person since COVID- 19 was declared a pandemic (流行病) two months earlier. We were all following the health guidelines of self-isolation (自我隔离) and wouldn’t leave the house unless it was absolutely necessary, so it was strange that Dad would just show up. My dad smiled and pointed at something beside the door, where I could see what looked like a plant wrapped up in wrapping paper.

“Open it,” he said.

I opened it and found a bright yellow begonia (秋海棠) plant. It came to me that it was Mother ’s Day, and I had seen many women posting pictures on social media of the lovely flowers they had received from kids and husbands. Waving his hand, Dad drove off.

Later that day, I made a phone call to thank him, letting him know how touched I was to know that he had made a two-hour round trip just to leave a begonia on my doorstep. His act of love really brightened my day.

“I’m sad that I couldn’t hug you. Dad, I love you,” I said.

“Me, too,” he replied with a big smile.

We got talking about the pandemic and how difficult it was to go so long without hugs and kisses from family. That was when my dad let me in on his little secret.

Paragraph 1：It turned out that he did several acts of kindness in a couple of weeks.

Paragraph 2：After listening to Dad’s story, I was inspired and determined to learn from him.

I couldn’t be so _________ that I was leading my students in the opposite direction, could I?

I kept my face calm, but condemning voices had already __________ in my head. The kids were __________, and their leader had no idea which way to go. What a(n) __________ I was! We’d just started walking again when I saw a hiker. He told us exactly where we were. Then he __________ us, “You’re heading in the right direction.

5 . Kim Hyung-ho arrived in China from the Republic of Korea on Aug 24,1992, which happened to be the same day that the two countries officially established diplomatic relations. Kim, just 19 at the time, came to China to study traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a medical system with thousands of years of history and which enjoys popularity in many countries.

Kim’s passion for TCM took root in his teenage years after he had a twisted ankle treated with acupuncture. “It’s incredible that a little needle can have such magical powers. That experience inspired me to learn authentic TCM in the place from which it originated,” recalls Kim.

In 2013, he was hired as a TCM specialist by the international clinic of Qingdao Municipal Hospital. “Doctor Kim is a professional, hardworking and nice,” says Sun Jie, director of the clinic. “He also helps bridge the communication gap between our staff and Korean patients.” For those who have difficulty moving around, Kim will go to the patient’s home to offer treatment.

Apart from his daily work, Kim has also volunteered to provide free medical consultations in the countryside. He found that many rural people have been suffering from long time diseases such as high blood pressure, but are not aware of their conditions, let alone attend regular checkups. As a result, Kim led fellow volunteers to collect lists of people from different villages. The lists were handed to local authorities to keep track of the patients’ treatment. Kim also provided guidance for village doctors, which helped improve the standard of treatment in the area.

Three decades have passed since Kim set foot in China, and he’s very grateful for what he has gained in the country. “Medicine does not have boundaries. As a TCM doctor, I will continue to communicate with doctors in Korea and other countries to help it spread and flourish even further, so that more people can understand its excellence,” says Kim.

1. When did Kim become interested in TCM?

A．He learned the long history of TCM.

B．China and Korea had a close relationship.

C．He was treated with TCM when he was young.

D．Chinese medicine enjoyed great popularity in Korea.

2. What can we infer from the working experience of Kim?

A．Korean patients are specially treated.

B．Some rural patients will be tracked by volunteers.

C．A blind patient may get a home treatment by Kim.

D．High blood pressure patients will be completely cured.

3. What does the underlined word “flourish” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Crash.

B．Develop.

C．Remain.

D．Increase.

4. What is the purpose of this text?

A．To express patients’ demand.	B．To recommend TCM treatment.
C．To explain a medical phenomenon.	D．To introduce an international doctor.
