Before I came to the United States years ago，I had thought that culture separated people，but I have realized now that cultures are closer than we know.In the United States，there are certainly more differences than similarities when comparing it to my country.
An amazing aspect of culture is the food produced.I’ve always been a foodie(美食家)．When I was hungry，there were many foreign signs of restaurants，but deciding which one was a difficult task.I remember reading the sign for “Chipotle” and I had no idea what was served there.
Who would ever have imagined that an experience as simple as trying new food would produce thoughts of cultures？I find it truly beautiful that each culture brings different spices and tastes to the table.I have tried wonderful foods from all sorts of cultures.Each is very unique and atmospheres are also quite interesting and culturally affected.Although the food may taste different，preparation can be somewhat consistent(一致的)．Many of the foods I have tasted have had similar mechanisms of cooking(烹饪机制)．
Here in the United States，it can be somewhat difficult to express all of my culture，mainly because there are many different cultures here.But I have found common ground on these matters and have learned to adapt to different cultures.
I have learned how to live in two cultures.I’m not saying it’s easy，I’m not saying that it’s extremely hard，but it’s all about balance.Each person has their own culture.Life has too many things to care.The theory of “When in Rome，do as the Romans do” is very applicable in most situations.Throughout my experiences here，I have certainly learned a lot about others.Culture is something different to many people but in the end，it connects all of us.Cultures bring others together to create new and exciting situations.

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media.In Chinese culture，where modesty(谦逊) is valued，openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon.These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments(赞扬) and encouragement，which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group，users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites，starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments.The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words.The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well.Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example，Meng Zha，a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University，tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting.She received compliments on her appearance and even quote from popular songs.Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.

题干:
In a world-record effort to help save a valuable sea creature，Australian scientists have released hundreds of baby seahorses into the wild.The tiny seahorses are endangered，and the scientists hope the new seahorses will help their numbers grow.
Seahorses get their name because they look a bit like horses.They aren’t great swimmers，even though they’re fish.They often use their tails to hold onto something in the water.They mostly live in warm，shallow waters around the world.They are often found in coral reefs，in beds of seagrass，and areas where rivers empty into the sea.Seahorses form an important part of the ocean’s food chain.They eat tiny sea creatures and are eaten by bigger sea animals.
Many kinds of seahorses are often threatened by the human actions.Sometimes they’re caught and sold as pets.They are also caught by accident when people are trying to catch other fish.
To begin the project，scientists collected three pregnant seahorses in January.Those seahorses were brought back to the aquarium(水族馆) in Sydney.After the babies were born，the scientists kept them there for five months，feeding the baby seahorses shrimps(小虾) to help them grow strong.Scientist Mitchell Brennan says，“They don’t have a stomach，so they have to eat constantly.”
About a month before the young seahorses were released，the scientists created eight underwater “hotels” for them.The hotels look like cages，providing a safe place for the seahorses to develop.Putting the hotels into the sea early allowed the cages to be covered with small sea life that can help provide food for the seahorses.
This is the fifth time the scientists have released seahorses into the area，and this time was a record.Around 380 seahorses were released.The researchers put tiny tags(标记) under the skin of many of the seahorses to help track them in the future.

答案: 56．to have 57．in 58．height 59．and 60．a 61．which 62．keeping 63．is caused 64．Luckily 65．will turn
解析:
56．考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处为It be＋adj.＋for sb to do sth句型，It作形式主语，所以空处应用不定式作真正的主语。故填to have。
57．考查介词。result in为固定短语，意为“导致”。故填in。
58．考查名词。分析句子可知，空处被形容词物主代词your修饰，应用名词。故填height。
59．考查连词。between...and...为固定搭配，所以应用连词and。故填and。
60．考查冠词。修饰后面的可数名词headache，此处为泛指，且big的首字母发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
61．考查定语从句。分析句子结构，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的句子，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用which引导。故填which。
62．考查非谓语动词。空前的to是介词，后应接keep的动名词形式作宾语。故填keeping。
63．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，本句含有that引导的定语从句，cause作从句谓语，描述客观状态，用一般现在时，主语the stress与cause之间是被动关系。主语为第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is caused。
64．考查副词。空处修饰后文句子，应用副词，意为“幸运地”，位于句首首字母应大写。故填Luckily。
65．考查动词时态。根据句中的“in the end”和“will prepare”可知，这里应用一般将来时。故填will turn。

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。
It was a busy day for 20-year-old Justin.His hot dog stand(货摊) in the park was crowded with customers.Suddenly，an old woman asked how much a hot dog was.“It depends on what you want，ma’am.They cost from$3 to $7，” he replied.
“I was just curious about that.I don’t want any，” she said before walking away.Justin noticed she sat alone on a chair across from his stand.She kept looking in his direction，and he realized the old woman wanted a hot dog but couldn’t afford one.So he quickly made one and brought it to her.“I forgot to tell you that you’re our 50th customer of the day，so you can get a free hot dog！” he said smilingly.
“Oh，is that so？” the old lady asked.“Thank you.I’m Emily.” She tasted it and was shocked at how delicious it was.“It’s different from traditional hot dogs，” she said with joy.Justin replied，“I love cooking，so I keep trying different things with my food.I’m glad you like it！Have a wonderful day.” Then he hurried away.
The next day，when Emily returned to the park，Justin treated her to a hot dog again.Emily refused because she didn’t have money，but he insisted(坚持)．“I am so happy that someone is trying my food，Emily.Your opinion matters to me，” Justin said.Though Emily was thankful for his offer，she told Justin it wasn’t necessary.But he kept doing that every day.Later when they chatted，Emily learned that Justin dreamed of expanding(扩大) his business and opening a cafe.
One day，Emily said to Justin，“I kept a count of the hot dogs you brought me，and you’ve already spent $100 on me.Now it’s my turn to help you，boy.Come with me.” Emily led Justin to an old building that looked like a deserted cafe.She explained that her husband owned it.After her husband died，Emily was in poor health and there was nobody to look after the cafe，so it closed down.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。

Over the next few weeks，Justin worked tirelessly to fix up the old cafe.
答案: [参考范文] “It’s now yours，Justin.This is your cafe，” Emily said.Justin looked at her with doubt.“My cafe？What do you mean？” he asked.“This house carries many beautiful memories，so I don’t want to sell it.I feel lucky to have met you.You are a kind kid and you deserve it，” Emily replied smilingly.She believed Justin would make good use of the house.Justin had tears in his eyes when he understood Emily’s words.He thanked Emily repeatedly for making his dream come true. Over the next few weeks，Justin worked tirelessly to fix up the old cafe.Then he added his hot dogs to the menu and also used his creativity to experiment with other dishes.Business was slow in the beginning，but finally，word spread about the cafe.A lot of customers who used to love the cafe started showing up every day.They were moved by the story of Emily and Justin.Emily was also proud of what Justin had achieved.Gradually，the cafe became a symbol of hope and kindness in the community.
