In a storm last summer，Martinez approached Road Runner Road carefully. A swollen river had flooded it. Martinez, driving a Toyota SUV, figured he'd be OK. But that was a big mistake.

Halfway across, the rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle, sweeping it off the road and washing it down a rocky stream bed. It finally stopped 80 feet away, when the water somehow lifted the SUV and wedged it in the ground at a 45- degree angle. Trapped inside with muddy water rising quickly, Martinez was certain he was going to die.

On the road right behind Martinez were a delivery worker and his niece. When Martinez's SUV came to rest, the man leaped to act. First, he grabbed heavy -duty straps (背带) from the back of his truck and secured the SUV to nearby posts. Then he climbed to the top of Martinez's

vehicle and hit a window with his fists. Frustrated, he turned to his niece and yelled,“Give me a

rock!”

Over and over he smashed (重击) the rock into the window.“I was scared that something else was going to come down and take the SUV, take him and take my uncle," Krystina Reyes，27，told CBSLA.

Reyes's uncle shouted to Martinez to move away from the window. He leaned back and threw the rock. Finally, the glass broke. Soon, Martinez climbed through the window and the men escaped to dry land.

Mother's Day is coming. A group of distinguished women recently wrote about the best gift their moms gave them to show their love for Mom. Their essays are collected in the new book What My Mother Gave Me.

The book springs out of editor Elizabeth Benedict's personal experience. The last gift she received from her mother was a black wool scarf, embroidered (绣花的) at each end with yellow, 'pink and blue flowers. “As soon as I began wearing it, people started commenting on how beautiful it was," Benedict tells Tell Me More host Michel Martin.“And after she died, I wore it all the time in winter. I was confused by how I could feel this attachment to it.

Benedict went on to wonder about the experiences of other women.“It is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what Mom gave me,”says Munoz. Munoz received a wok from her mother, whose relationships with everyone in the family largely related to food. She was a homemaker and accomplished chef.“We didn't see her as a working woman, because she didn't like makeups. But she managed it so she could take me to music lessons and take my brothers to debate practice. Being a traditional mom, she managed to do all that,"Munoz says.

The book includes diverse voices. Benedict says she wanted a real range of experiences so the book would feel like the actual world. The objects are modest: a photograph, quilt,cake pan, plant, even a cracked vase. They are not financially valuable, but the value of these gifts increases over time. The value comes from how people move through their lives with their mothers. .

A. To compare their gifts.        B. To show their love for Mom.

Two chemical engineers at the University of Delaware are developing better ways to produce fuels from sunlight. Feng Jiao and Bingjun Xu received a $ 500 ,000 from the NSF for research on solar-driven carbon dioxide utilization (利用) for environmental sustainability.

This research is motivated by the fact that the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050 and it will be increasingly critical to balance food, energy and water resources and reduce harmful carbon dioxide. Many processes involved in food and water production and transport are major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions.

Together with researchers at Tianjin University in China, Jiao and Xu designed a system that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using solar electricity. Their system will use electrolysis(电解)，a process that uses electric current to make a chemical reaction to turn carbon dioxide and water into liquid carbon-based fuels. They will use copper to speed up the chemical reactions.Then, the research team will develop a prototype (原型) reactor and perform technical and economic analysis to determine the potential to commercialize this technology. If used on a large scale, this technology has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuels.

Finally, the team will determine the environmental impacts of their device. The technology developed through this could help the solar industry and research community and could: be extended to chemical processes beyond the breakdown of carbon dioxide.

“If successful, this technology could provide the community a green, sustainable way to produce chemicals and fuels without using any fossil source," said Jiao.“This technology also aims to address the challenges associated with renewable energy utilization and storage.

32. What motivated Feng Jiao and Bingjun Xu to do the research?

A. A worrying fact.           B. A childhood dream.

C. A wish to succeed.         D. A surprising discovery.

33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How their system will work.          B. How they designed their system.

C. How their system will benefit us.        D. How they will improve their system.

34. What can we learn from Jiao's words in the last paragraph?

A. The new technology will be challenging to use.

B. The new technology can only be used in one way.

C. The new technology will provide us with more energy.

D. The new technology will be of great value if successful.

35. Where is the text most likely from?

A. A travel guide.       B. A newspaper.     C. A textbook.     D. A science fiction.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

According to scientific research, willpower is not a talent that a lucky few are born with. It is a skill to be practised._36_

Know yourself.

You should identify your“willpower profile". Some people are introverts (性格内向) while others are extroverts (性格外向).__ 37_ For them, scheduling time to reflect on progress can be helpful. For extroverts, signing up for a group where everyone has a common goal can help.

At work you have to deal with lots of tasks and an unusually demanding boss. What can you do about such situations? Don't work on multiple resolutions. Intentions are most effective when you work on one goal at a time. People trying to work on many intentions at once are less successful.

Face your fears.

People who are not moving towards their goal are often afraid of something they imagine may happen. Researchers recommend paying attention to“physical responses"， such as feeling mysteriously tired or queasy (感到恶心的)，when faced with taking action on your goal._ 39_

Find your motivation.

Researchers found that study participants suddenly discovered extra self-control to do a task after they were told they would be paid for their effort or that their effort would benefit others._40_Working out your ‘why’ can help you find your willpower.

A. Make a plan.

B. Pick one goal at a time.

C. Chances are that you might be too anxious.

D. Here are a few ways to increase your willpower.

E. Introverts tend to get engineered by thoughts and ideas.

F. Finding out what you are good at is especially important.

G. So knowing your“why”can help you get out of bed for a morning run.

“Attention! Everyone! I would like you guys to meet Jose from Mexico. He is a new here, so be nice to him and show him around," said Mrs Espinoza.

No one talked and the classroom was silent. And then some students stared at Jose and began to whisper to each other. Jose was wearing loose gray pants and a dirty white shirt. His shoes made a short and loud sound when he walked to his desk. Everyone giggled (咯咯地笑) at the sound, but no one talked to him. I wondered how he felt being here and having everyone's eyes on him and even being laughed at. I wanted to say“Hi”but I was afraid that I might be made fun of for talking to“the new kid".

In the following days, Jose was lonely and he struggled to fit into the new life. Besides, it was hard for him to learn a new language and make new friends in the new school.

Every day he would sit by himself and eat his lunch quietly, without a word, just focusing on his food. Many of the students would pass by and make unfriendly comments on him. He would just frown (皱眉) and look down at the floor. I wanted to be kind to him but still I couldn't take the first step.

When I got home, I talked to my sister about Jose. I told her about him being new here and about how the students at school treated him.' Then I told her that I wanted to talk to him but I was worried that my friends would make fun of me. She said with a smile,“If they are your true friends，they will stick by you no matter what you do. You know, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." The next day, I knew exactly what I was going to do.

注意: 1.所续写的短文词数应为150 左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

During the lunch time, I got my lunch and walked towards Jose.

As days went on, I kept talking to Jose but I noticed I was losing some friends.
