3 . 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。

After staying at home and taking care of her baby for nearly two years, Rebecca found it hard to make a decision between accepting an attractive offer from her former employer and going on looking after her son Tony at home. She talked, with her husband David, about sending Tony to a childcare center. David gave it a careful thought and decided to leave his job for a year to take care of Tony before he could be sent to a kindergarten, promising to be a super Dad and househusband. It was good news for Rebecca but she knew her husband too well. It would take David some time to get used to finicky（细致的） jobs of taking care of Tony. So she told David she wanted hourly updates on how Tony was handling his day away from Mom.

David was adapting quickly. He texted updates throughout the day, getting hourly instructions from Rebecca. It seemed that David was enjoying his new role and Tony liked the company of Dad, although they often got the home messy. What Rebecca didn’t expect is that David became famous on social media as Super Dad, because people liked watching the videos he posted.

One day, he sent his usual text updates and included a photo of Tony in his car seat during their trip to Walgreens. Rebecca’s reply was to correct Tony’s position in the car seat. And she reminded David that the straps（肩带） were too loose and the chest clip was too low. David laughed at his nagging（絮叨的） wife and rolled his eyes before tightening the car seat and fixing the chest clip. Fifteen minutes later, Rebecca’s phone rang with a call from her husband, “Honey, we had a car accident. We are fine, but the car is going to be totaled（彻底毁坏）.”

注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；

Less than three miles from their house, David told Rebecca, a woman had pulled into traffic to turn left.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rebecca was so thankful that her husband took the extra one minute to put Tony in his car seat safely.

8 . On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left Lae, New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific. This was without a doubt the longest and most dangerous part of their trip around the world. Earhart had trouble shortly after takeoff. The weather was stormy, so she had to fly at approximately 3,000 meters. Going this high the plane used up gas quickly.

After about 20 hours, Earhart and Noonan approached Howland Island. The island was only about a hundred kilometers away at this point, but the bright sun was shining in their faces, so they couldn’t see it. Near Howland, a ship—the Itasca—was waiting. Earhart contacted the ship: “Gas is low,” she said. The Itasca tried to maintain contact with her, but it got no response. Finally, the Itasca called for help. People searched for Earhart and Noonan for days. Despite great efforts, they found nothing.

What happened to Amelia Earhart? No one knows for sure. During the flight, she likely headed in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was hard to see. Perhaps she and Noonan got lost somewhere over the Pacific. Soon after, her plane ran out of gas, and she crashed into the sea. Another idea is that Earhart might have landed on a nearby, uninhabited island called Nikumaroro, where she later died. Researchers recently brought bone-sniffing dogs to the island, though, and no human bones were found. A more extreme theory is that Earhart flew the plane to Marshall Island and later secretly returned to the United States under a new name.

The first theory seems most likely. However, none of these ideas has been proven. Today, people are still investigating Earhart’s and Noonan’s disappearance. Whatever happened, Earhart probably died as she wished, “When I go,” she once said, “I’d like best to go in my plane.”

1. Why was the flight to Howland Island so difficult to Earhart and Noonan?

A．The trip was most dangerous in the world.

B．The flight contained a height of 3,000 meters.

C．Earhart and Noonan were inexperienced pilots.

D．Howland Island was far away from New Guinea.

2. What happened shortly after Earhart and Noonan took off from New Guinea?

A．They were forced to fly higher because of a storm.

B．The sun was too bright to see so Earhart lost direction.

C．The Itasca got no response from them and lost their contact.

D．Their plane soon ran out of gasoline so it crashed into the sea.

3. How is Paragraph 3 developed?

A．By giving examples.	B．By listing assumptions.
C．By making contrast.	D．By providing cause and effect.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A．A failed trip to explore Howland Island.

B．A mysterious disappearance of two pilots.

C．A difficult investigation of a missing plane.

D．Two women heroic pilots and their last flight.
