“It’s OK if you have to go, puppy,” I said, looking into those eyes that showed love, devotion and friendship.
But he wasn’t coming home.
Scout was taking his last ride from a specialist in Dallas back to our vet. He started out on the floor in the back. He crawled（缓慢地爬）, obviously hurting, into the passenger seat where he always rode. Now and then he looked out of the window and then sadly back at me.
My first memory of Scout was as a 6-week-old puppy, sat on the edge of the seat, front paws on the window, looking back at Twin Pines Farm as he left. You might have expected him to act nervous, but he just smiled and watched. He smiled all the time – we called him the world’s happiest dog. He kindly put up with new dogs and puppies. He wasn’t what you’d call a devoted father, but he would play with the puppies if nobody was looking.He was busy when there was work to do. Most of his duties were riding in the truck, playing with balls or wandering. But when needed, he was always there to make me feel OK, knowing he would protect his family with every last breath.
How do these four-legged fur balls get so deep in our hearts? It hurts when they go. But when you ask yourself: Would I give up having known him to make the pain go away? The answer is, of course, no.
I think Scout was probably a once-in-a-lifetime dog. But his son Gus is playing around in our backyard right now, and he had his first ride in the truck yesterday. He has the same way of looking out of the window and then back at me with a smile on his face. Scout, however your son turns out, we’ll always remember you. In time, it won’t hurt so much, and we’ll get by. It’s OK, buddy. You had to go.

24. What do we know about Scout from the passage?
A. He was an irresponsible father.
B. He was nervous in my home at first.
C. He was out of condition when he left.
D. He came to the author’s house when he was six.
25. What can be inferred from the last 2 paragraphs?
A. Gus looks exactly like his father Scout.
B. Gus will also leave the house when he grows up.
C. The pain of losing Scout is getting stronger in the author’s heart.
D. The author doesn’t regret having Scout in the family although he suffers the pain.
26. What’s the author’s attitude toward Scout leaving?
A. Painful and annoyed. B. Worried and regretful.
C. Unconcerned but approving. D. Sorrowful but understanding.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Learn to Accept and Let Go. B. My Two Beloved Dogs.
C. Scout: You Stick in My Heart. D. Dogs Are My Best Families.

C
Now, people may feel it surprising that given rise to by technological advances, one growing nuisance（讨厌的东西），is the "junk" telephone call. Actually, without further human assistance, those calls are distributed by machines which can be programmed to dial numbers automatically. Once a number is reached, the machine delivers a prepared sales voice or even records the receiver’s response.
The machine, which can call hundreds of numbers during a regular business day, does present some problems. Certain of the devices, particularly the cheaper ones, do not disconnect if the person called chooses not to listen and hangs up.
This has the potential to cause tragedy, as well as anger and inconvenience. Woman in the Midwest, for example, attempted to call a doctor for her mother, who had just collapsed with what appeared to be a heart attack. The phone did not present a dial tone but a recorded sales voice, which would not stop even after the woman hung up the phone. Fortunately, a neighbor's phone was usable, and help was in place in time.
Certain models of the dialing devices can record orders for the product being sold. This has resulted in some bizarre situations. A family in Texas, for example, found that a $10,000 worth medicine was ordered by their healthy 75-year granny. Another family discovered that their three-year-old child, who didn't know how to read, had subscribed to several adult magazines for which the parents were then being billed.
Many people regard the junk telephone call to be even more offensive than junk mail which is usually possible to recognize and discard without opening or reading it. A phone call, however, can't be recognized as junk until it has been answered and at least a portion of the message heard. Some people have turned to the continuous use of answering machines on their home telephones while others find the answering machines equally objectionable as the junk calls. In reference to all the facts, some kind of regulation of the nuisance should be in place.

28. Who may apply a "junk" telephone machine to call according to the first paragraph?
A. Producers of "junk" telephone machines.
B. Telephone companies greedy for money.
C. Evil-hearted people doing that just for fun.
D. Businesses promoting their items or services.
29. What does the author want to present by giving the example of a woman in the Midwest?
A. Nice neighbors are treasures in one's life.
B. Junk telephone machines are likely to do harm.
C. Telephones may break down at some critical moment.
D. Loads of phones are disturbed by junk telephone calls.
30. What does the underlined word bizarre in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unusual B. Accidental C. Amusing D. Mysterious
31. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage according to the last paragraph?
A. Appealing for the regulation of the junk phone call.
B. Discussing the potential risks of technological advance.
C. Showing how people feel annoyed at the junk telephone call.
D. Displaying the troubles resulting from the junk telephone call.

D
In Southeast Ohio, countless orange-stained streams are colored by the iron oxide（氧化铁）pollution from abandoned coal mines. Although rivers can be cleaned up by neutralizing the acidity of acid mine drainage(AMD)（矿山酸性废水）, it’s an expensive process. However, two professors at Ohio University have come up with a way to help with the clean-up by collecting the iron oxide from polluted rivers to make pigments（颜料）for artists.
Coal was once an important part of Ohio’s economy, and the state produced approximately 2.35 billion tons from its underground mines between 1800 and 2010. But before 1977, when the US introduced the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, mines that were no longer needed were often simply abandoned. As a result, many of the mines have become polluters, with AMD affecting 1300 miles of Ohio streams.
Guy Riefler and John Sabraw from Ohio University partnered to take their idea from an interesting little science project to something bigger. In 2018, alongside local non-profit Rural Action, they partnered with a paint company Gamblin to create a limited run of 500 oil paints. Named the “Reclaimed Earth Colors” set, the paints were popular among artists, allowing them to present an environmentally conscious aspect in their work. Through their social enterprise, True Pigments, they are now putting their clean-up model to the test by building their first full-scale treatment facility.
Once the treatment facility is operational, True Pigments aims to collect approximately 2 million pounds of iron oxide annually and clean up seven miles of stream. A previous project that neutralized the acidity of stream water on the west branch of Sunday Creek saw 17 species of native fish return after two years. True Pigments is confident that its facility will lead to a similar outcome.
True Pigments has received funding from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). By funding True Pigments, the ODNR hopes that the facility can help address an environmental issue and recover and improve water quality and provide jobs for the local community and create a supply of iron oxide for other uses.

32. How do professors from Ohio University help clean polluted rivers?
A. By removing plastic waste from streams.
B. By reducing the acidity of polluted rivers.
C. By making paints with the iron oxide from the rivers.
D. By organizing people to join in the clean-up activities.
33. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A. Summarize the previous paragraph.
B. Add some background information.
C. Provide some advice for the readers.
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

34. What do we know about Guy Riefler and John Sabraw’s project?
A. It is well received by artists.
B. It saves the production cost of oil paints.
C. It aims to introduce their clean-up model.
D. It prevents factories from polluting rivers.
35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Reclaiming Earth Pigments. B. Turning Waste into Treasure.
C. Painting a Greener Future. D. Removing Iron Oxide for Rivers.

An Honest Mistake
Alice double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. n-i-c-e-l-y. q-u-i-c-k-l-y. h-o-n-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
“I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat.
“Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize. Alice grinned(咧嘴笑) as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling.
“Is everything OK?” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home. And Casper, too. ” Alice scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly?” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly?” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
“Alice, what’s the matter?” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea?” Alice swallowed, “How did you know? A “t” is exactly what I needed.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
