In real life Joanna Garcia Swisher, 41, is happily married to former Major League Baseball player Nick Swisher, 40, and raising daughters Sailor, 4, and Emerson, 7. On TV she needs the help of a matchmaker to find love in the new Hallmark Channel romance As Luck Would Have It. She opens up about raising strong girls, how her parents’ recent deaths affected her and which roles fans recognize her for the most.
You haven’t needed a matchmaker--but if life had turned out differently, would you use one?
I would totally have been game for it. I was set up by a friend of ours to meet my husband, but I think it sounds so fun.
You star opposite Allen Leech--were you a Downton Abbey fan?
I’m a huge Downton fan, but I know Allen personally very well. He happened to marry my best friend’s little sister. His mom actually cooked me dinner a couple of times while I was shooting!
You’ve been on TV since you were a teen. Which role gets you recognized most?
Sweet Magnolias now. But overall I would say Reba. I also get recognized for being Amy Adams more than I get recognized for being myself.
You lost your mother, father and grandmother in the past year and a half. How are you and your family doing?
My daughters have watched me go through so much in the last year, from the highs of the success of Sweet Magnolias to the lowest of lows, losing my parents and my grandmother. I really believe that it’s not what happens to you, it’s what happens for you. Even in their passing, as tragic as it was ...  I know that it’s not for nothing. My mom was such a strong, capable, amazing woman; my father was the ultimate father and feminist and just huge source of support--and I think that solidified my strength. So I only hope that I’m modeling that same strength for my girls.
24. How does the text develop?

You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (来源) of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of Von Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate (说明) a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped (倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
28．What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?
A．Beautifying the city he lives in. B．Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
C．Introducing eco-friendly products. D．Reducing garbage on the beach.
29．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A．To voice his views on modern art. B．To explain why they are useful.
C．To show the difficulty of their recycling. D．To find a substitute for them.
30．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?
A．Calming. B．Refreshing C．Disturbing. D．Challenging.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Artists’ Opinions on Plastic Safety B．Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C．Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures
D
Cosplayers（角色扮演者）can invest considerable time, money and effort into making best head-to-toe presentations that are one-of-a-kind. But what inspires cosplayers to present themselves with so many detailed artistic designs? Psychologists try to reveal the facts through research.
When a cosplayer selects a particular costume, he/she is often getting inside a specific character--or combination of characters--because something about that role speaks to them personally, according to Robin S. Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
Batman, for example, can be an especially meaningful cosplay choice for someone coping with trauma（创伤）. The dark superhero faced destructive trauma when he was a child--witnessing the cruel and violent murder of his parents--which he overcame to become a hero. “When people are dressed as Batman, many talk about having experienced their own traumatic experiences,” Rosenberg said. “He survived and found meaning and purpose from his experience, and that is inspiring to them.”
Rosenberg noted that Wonder Woman is another popular choice which calls up many women’s feelings, partly because she holds her own in the male-dominated world of costumed comics superheroes. For those cosplayers, dressing as Wonder Woman is a way of celebrating and embracing her power, Rosenberg said.
Cosplay is a type of performance, which frequently moves strangers to approach the character for conversation and photos. So it surprised Rosenberg to discover that many cosplayers were identified as introverts. “When they wore a costume, they became much more socially outgoing,” Rosenberg said. She explained that, sometimes, wearing a costume allows a person to obtain confidence they didn't know they had, and helps them overcome shyness in real life.
“When you do any kind of costuming--but particularly cosplay--on the one hand, it gives you permission to step outside yourself,” Rosenberg said. “But on the other hand, it can bring out something in you that doesn’t usually come out.”
32. What does Rosenberg try to convey in Paragraph 2?
A. Cosplayers have a special liking for costumes.
B. Cosplayers play different roles within one day.
C. Cosplayers have nothing to do but talk to themselves..
D. Cosplayers express themselves through costumes.
33. Batman and Wonder Woman are cited to reveal cosplayers’ ___________.
A. childhood abuse B. need to repair personal difficulties
C. gender inequality D. eagerness to defeat other people
34. Why did Rosenberg feel surprised?
A. Cosplayers couldn’t wait to socialize when costumed.
B. Many cosplayers attracted strangers to talk with them.
C. So many cosplayers were considered as pessimistic people.
D. Cosplayers changed their personality once in costumes.
35. What may serve as the most suitable title of the text?
A. Batman or Wonder Woman B. People in costumes
C. Psychology behind cosplay D. Devotion to cosplay

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。
“What a crabby-looking lady（怨妇）,” the cashier at my local convenience store whispered to her coworker. I was grabbing something off the shelf. I had a half dozen kids waiting for me outside in the van, and here's the thing: they were all my own children. No time for polite. No casual conversation with the checkout lady, no nod of approval toward the stock boy, no breathing. Just get the toilet paper, two gallons of milk and some Frosted Flakes and get back to my children!
But my interest was aroused by the crabby-looking lady. Which one was she? Taking a family pack of toilet paper under my arm, I scanned the tiny store for the crabby lady. Let's see, there's a middle-aged guy checking on pork, an older gentleman at the checkout purchasing an egg salad sandwich and a coffee, and... just then I saw her, the crabby-looking lady.
Her eyes were small; her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail so tight that it looked like her forehead would drop. Her mouth was shut serious. This lady looked like she had smelled something really bad. Then, I turned away from my own reflection in the convex security mirror（安全反射镜）at the back of the store. The crabby-looking lady... was me!
That night, I cried. I was the crabby-looking lady! Me! The girl once voted nicest smile by her high school class! Things must get changed! Right then and there I resolved to do one thing over the next year. One simple resolution: to smile. I didn't need to wait for January 1st--I would start right now.
I resolved to smile at anyone and anything, even though they would let me down. And I also resolved to make a conscious effort to smile, at least ten times a day.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Tom:
How’s it going? Hearing that you are interested in my sports and the changes brought about by sports, I am writing this letter to share my sports experience and related information with you.
First of all, every morning I insist on jogging regularly for an hour, after which I would jump rope 100 times. Secondly, after dinner every day I like spending an hour playing basketball with my classmates on the court. Finally, I think, after a long period of exercise, what makes me feel the most meaningful is that I become more energetic and energetic, and I also have a more flexible mind to study.
Sincerely, I hope you can also fall in love with sports and stick to it!
Yours
LiHua

第二节 （满分25分）
The first day of “Mission Smile” I practiced smiling as planned. I smiled at a strange dog who peed on my daughter’s new school shoes while she was in them, the salesman to the door, three of my six children, a librarian who asked me if I was aware of the global overpopulation problem, and my bathtub. I even smiled at my husband over the phone when he called to say he’d be late from work. And I smiled at myself in the mirror twice, just to remind myself what a smile looked like.
After practicing a month, unexpectedly, something different happened. I didn't even try to find things to smile at and I'd still notice smile take over my face. When my daughter loaded the dishwasher with her socks, I smiled. When we were really late for church, I smiled. One day I was meeting a couple of friends at a local coffee shop. I overheard the cashier remark to her co-worker, “What a happy-looking lady!" And I didn't even have to look around to know who she was talking about. It was me!

W: Attention, Whole Foods shoppers! Check your shelves, because some food products are being recalled(召回). There have been hundreds of cases of food poisoning over the last six months. The government has narrowed it down to several possible causes. There may be a virus in some of the meat, or the food could have gone bad already at the time it was packaged. Please check the list below to find out if you’ve already purchased any of the items. The list includes certain frozen fish dinners, peanut butter, canned tomatoes, and chicken. Some frozen vegetables, like peas and corn, are also on it. If you have any of the items, you may bring them back within a week for a full refund. After that, you will receive only half of the full price. If you’ve already started eating the food, stop immediately! Bring in the part you haven’t eaten, and we will give you a refund. You don’t even need a receipt! We will have extra customer service staff at the front of the store to help.
