Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.

Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.

One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only $5 in her pocket, was walking to a gas station with a gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said, “That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.

Judy died on July 9, 2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.

What do you usually do when a flying insect（昆虫） lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug（瓢虫）? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that we like?

Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops（庄稼） would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating（夸大） about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.

高中英语 必修第二册 5 / 29

Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats the other insects. It’s the ladybug larvae（幼虫）. Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers.

A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black “eating machines” completely saved all the trees.

Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.

So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows？Ladybugs are special that way.

（ ）8. What do we know about mites and aphids?

A. They do harm to the crops.

B. They eat more than they should.

高中英语 必修第二册 6 / 29

C. They are food for adult ladybugs.

D. They are the enemy of ladybug larvae.

（ ）9. Why were ladybugs brought from Australia to California in the 1800s?

A. To report the weather for farmers.

B. To increase their number.

C. To do research on them.

D. To save orange trees.

（ ）10. What does the underlined part “stand up to” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Play with. against.

B. Worry about. C. Get along with. D. Fight back

（ ）11. What does the author think of the ladybug?

A. It is a crop-destroyer.

B. It is a good luck sign.

高中英语 必修第二册 7 / 29

C. It is a little flying helper.

Foxes have become a part of life in Britain’s urban areas. They are striking creatures but they are also dangerous. Three years ago, twin baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home. Last week, four-week-old baby boy Denny Dolan was bitten by a fox which entered his home. After gaining access to the home through the front door, the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside, biting him and almost severing（割断） his finger.

Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we don’t change our behavior towards these increasingly fearless animals. It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans.

On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home. The result is that the fox is more brazen（厚颜无耻的） and less inclined to avoid us. It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans. However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they won’t bother humans.

On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas. We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories. Foxes have no choice but

高中英语 必修第二册 8 / 29

to live and search for food in the city. If they live in the forest, no fox attack will happen.

We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their natural habitat. We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals. We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purpose, kill to eat. We must certainly not intervene them, even when they look starved. They are hungry for a reason. The hunger will force them to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door.

（ ）12. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. it is common for people to spot foxes in British cities

B. it is very difficult for people to raise foxes as pets

C. it is common for foxes to attack a child in Britain's urban areas

D. it is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britain's urban areas

（ ）13. Why do more and more foxes flood into cities?

A. Because urban people love the cute animal.

B. Because foxes lack natural resources in the forest.

C. Because no houses are built for them in the forest.

高中英语 必修第二册 9 / 29

D. Because their habitats are occupied by other animals.

（ ）14. We can learn from the passage that the author ________.

A. is very cruel to foxes

B. is a wild animal lover

C. is concerned about foxes

D. is against feeding foxes

（ ）15.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It is humans rather than foxes that are to blame for the rising fox attacks on humans.

B. People in cities must certainly not feed foxes, even when they look starved.

C. Human beings have to learn to live in harmony with wild animals in cities.

D. Foxes in British cities are striking creatures but they are also dangerous animals.

Ways to Get Your Kids into Nature

高中英语 必修第二册 10 / 29

Being in nature for kids has tremendous health benefits. There are many ways you can incorporate nature into your children’s lives, even if you live in the city.

Inspire curiosity by being curious yourself. A parent’s excitement can be spread to the children, and when you show respect for nature, your children follow suit. 16 . “I don’t know! Let’s find out together.” is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. Be open to a mutual adventure and allow your curious inner child to come out while you explore nature with your children.

17 . If you have to carpool（拼车） in the morning, turn off the devices instead and encourage your children to look out of the window. The early morning fall skies are beautiful with color and migrating birds. After all, even views of nature from the car window are calming and beneficial.

Stop thinking about nature time as leisure time. Time in nature is an essential investment in your children’s health and well­being. If you view nature time as essential to good health, you will be more likely to engage in it. 18 , nurturing creativity and wonder is part of your responsibility as parents.

Look at the stars. Visit your local observatory, and then drive out of the city some morning or evening for your own stargazing（天体观察） with a blanket and telescope. Observing the stars offers a deeper and wider understanding of the universe. 19 . Plant a small garden. 20 . Bean and pea plants grow quickly and can be eaten when mature, so teach your children about food and the wonder of growth.

六、读后续写（满分25分）

阅读下面的材料，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。续写的词数应为150左右。

When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.

One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered mobile home, a depressed expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years old, definitely in low spirits, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching（紧握） at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.

The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With

高中英语 必修第二册 16 / 29

growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.

“We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing,” I said. “We’ll share what we have with them, thus they will smile again.”

I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.

While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games.

“I’ll help you find something for the little girl when I'm done with this,” I said.

The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucy’s flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on the top of other toys.

“Oh, Honey,” I said. “You don't have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”

高中英语 必修第二册 17 / 29

Meghan nodded seriously，eyes glistening with held-back tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe she’ll make that other little girl happy, too.”

高中英语 必修第二册 27 / 29

Good morning, everyone!

With the increasingly serious environmental pollution, we really need to do something to deal with it.

It's noticeable that the air quality in cities is recently becoming worse and worse. Various causes contribute to this terrible situation. More people drive private cars and many factories keep sending poisonous gases into the air. People’s health is harmed once they take in these gases, which may cause a series of diseases like lung cancer. To improve the situation, we should control the number of cars and prevent the factories pouring waste casually.

As students, we’d better walk or take public means of transportation rather than take private cars and try our best to arouse people’s awareness of environmental protection.

Thank you!
