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。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, my parents, sister, brother, and I were coming back from a picnic. That was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway. There, we saw two adult geese (鹅) and a young goose. The adults were surprised by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow. We are no strangers to the ways of wildlife, so we knew to avoid physical contact with the young goose out of fear that it would stay with us and be lost to its family forever.
Hours passed, and night fell. With it came the coldness. The tiny little thing was walking around our yard and it was clear that the goose needed protection and warmth. At that point, we knew we had to help, аnd wе brоught hіm іntо оur bасk роrсh (门廊).
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came. And then another morning. And still another. Each morning, we would try to shoo (赶走) the goose to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, though, and they wouldn’t come close enough to take him. We kept this up for five days, but no luck. By then, the young goose had clearly decided we were his new family, so we had to give him a name. My sister Joanna called him Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. We also decided that Peeper was a boy. I don’t know why; it just felt right.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper slept in our back porch each night. My dad would clean all the goose droppings daily. He would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a loop (圈) around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean.

U.K. astronomer Martin Rees says that in future, some people may decide to leave Earth in order to live on other worlds. Finally, he added, they might use high technologies to change themselves to adapt to their new environment.
“They will find themselves ill-adapted to conditions there, so they will redesign themselves using powerful genetic engineering (基因工程) technologies,” Rees says. “These techniques will, I hope, be kept under control on Earth; but those on other planets will be freer to try.”
“We should surely wish them luck in changing their children to adapt to outer planets. This may be the first step towards the development of a new species,” says Rees. He says that these “post-humans” could one day turn into “fully inorganic intelligences” which may not even need an atmosphere to live and may grow well in zero-gravity environments, which ordinary people are not adapted to. “So it is in deep space, not on Earth, that ‘brains’ may develop powers that humans can’t even imagine,” says Rees.
Rees also warns that human beings shouldn’t fall back on the idea that they can avoid disaster on Earth by heading deeper into space. “It’s dangerous to think that space offers an escape from Earth’s problems,” he says. “We must solve them here. Dealing with climate change is a doddle compared with changing other planets; there’s no environment in our solar system as mild as even the top of Qomolangma.”
This isn't the first time Rees has made interesting predictions. Last year, Rees predicted possible dangers of nuclear physics (核物理学) tests taking place on Earth. “Maybe a black hole could form, and then take in everything around it,” he said. However, some scientists were not worried about this prediction. Stefan, a physicist, said he wouldn't be “losing any sleep” over that prediction.
1.What might be Rees’s prediction?
A.People might live on other planets soon.
B.Space technologies might be improved greatly.
C.People might avoid using genetic technology in outer space.
D.Space exploration might lead to genetically-changed humans.
2.Which of the following might be a description of “post-humans” ?
A.They have better survivability.
B.They are sensitive to zero gravity.
C.They are as smart as ordinary people.
D.They cannot adapt to the global environment.
3.What might the underlined part “a doddle” Paragraph 4 mean?
A.The top dog. B.A hot potato.
C.A piece of cake. D.A white elephant.
4.What did Stefan think of Rees’s prediction?
A.It was doubtful.
B.It made great sense.
C.It required special attention.
D.It questioned many popular beliefs.

My 7-year-old daughter Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated, but we were poor. I didn’t own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood, and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks (堆). So it's probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged (耸肩). “Sorry. I can't find it.” she said. “It’s only $20, right? What’s the big deal?”
I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop (笼子) in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime, and dust floated in the dry air.
But my girl, my animal-loving mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop (铲鸡粪) was the most fun she’d had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She did not feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another book on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded (发愣的), watching her.
It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didn't care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop, fetching the clean straw and feed. Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born, and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I don't know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didn't care about the book anymore. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.
1.How does Leeny find reading?
A.It is very challenging.
B.It is full of enjoyment.
C.It inspires her to be a camper.
D.It teaches her to love her family.
2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph1 refers to the fact that________.
A.the author could never have enough books to read
B.the author’s daughters often lost library books
C.the author’s daughters own too many books
D.the author didn’t own any books
3.What’s the best title for the text?
A.What I owe to Leeny: more attention
B.My punishment failed, but I didn’t care
C.My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful
D.Surprise: my daughter loves cleaning chicken coops

Once eating alone was just that: sitting down in a restaurant on one’s own and eating a meal. Everyone did it sometimes, and when they did so, 1. . To eat alone might suggest that you didn’t have any friends. There was a kind of shame attached to it.
Nowadays, however, there is more and more solitary (独自的) eating for pleasure. 2. . “Foodies”—people with a passionate interest in cuisines—do it because all they need is the chance to eat good food. They don’t want company or conversation, but only the joy of eating some special dish. Other people eat alone because it’s simply practical for them to do so. For instance, it’s estimated that nearly a third of all the customers of fast-food restaurants eat alone. They are served with their food fast, eat it fast and then leave fast. 3.
But the appeal of eating alone is quite different. 4. . For the hour or so that it takes to have a meal, they can forget all the pressures of their lives. They don’t have to deal with their family or job. They can relax and let their mind wander. Maybe they’ll bring a book, a newspaper to enjoy a quiet time.
David Annand, editor of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, who delights in dining alone, speaks of his pleasure in the “rhythm of a meal in a restaurant—its ebb and flow (人来人往), the periodic arrival and departure of the waiter”. 5. .
A.It’s an experience of freedom
B.they might be a little embarrassed
C.People choose to eat alone for various reasons
D.none of them would feel bad about themselves
E.Sometimes staying alone is quite cosy when you don’t work
F.This restaurant rhythm allows him to sit back, observe and think
G.It saves time if they have a meeting or a child to pick up from school
高二英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析
My guide Farah, a tall, slim woman in her late 30s,wears jeans and a simple manteaux -- the required robe women must wear in public, covering neck to knee. Her long, straight black hair is hidden beneath her headscarf, but visible as it curls at her neck.
We’re heading to Tajrish Bazaar, in north Tehran (capital of Iran),to explore 10 different kinds of dried plums, and other goodies. We choose the Metro—Farah for its convenience, and I,for a chance to go underground in Tehran, because it provides a picture of the city most tourists never see.
It's mid-morning. Women and men sit separately, but the rule relaxes during busy times, like now. We, along with a few other women, clasp our hands around a pole, standing next to men, young and old in the air-conditioned, modern carriage. Two stops later, and about 20 commuters fewer, segregation happens naturally -- women at one end, men at the other, still within view, but separate.
A handful of fashionable girls admire their own reflections in the window. They wear tight leggings under their brightly coloured robes, pushing back headscarves and boundaries. We find seats next to a group of conservative women dressed in black cloaks called chador. They’re nothing like the other women I have met, a sisterhood of outspoken opinions, most of them liberal. “We are a nation with one language,” Farah says, “divided in two—-traditional and modern. ” Farah tells me it all began, not with imports from the West, but with the 1979 revolution. A combination of access, education and a bad economy created a society where women now have independence, careers and husbands happy to help around the house with chores and children*
1.We are setting out for Tajrish Bazaar most probably at __________.
A.3 a. m. B.1 p. m. C.10 a. m. D.5 p. m.
2.Why did the author choose to take the subway?
A.Because it’s cheap.
B.Because it’s convenient.
C.Because she can see more beautiful women on the subway.
D.Because it offers her an opportunity to see a different city from what most tourists see
3.What does the underlined word segregation in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?
A.isolation B.disaster
C.departure D.combination
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Women in Iran must wear manteau in public.
B.Fashionable girls can dress as freely as they like.
C.Iran is divided in two parts by the western forces.
D.Men in Iran won't help with the housework.
