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。
Bobby was getting cold sitting out in his backyard in the snow. Bobby didn’t wear boots; or rather, he didn’t own any. The thin sneakers he
wore had a few holes in them and they did a poor job of keeping out the cold.
Bobby had been in his backyard for about an hour already. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift. He shook his head as he thought, “This is useless. Even if I do come up with an idea, I don’t have any money for a gift.”
Wiping tears from his eyes, Bobby started walking down to the street where the shops were. It wasn’t easy being six without a father, especially when he needed a man to talk to.
Bobby walked from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window. Everything seemed so beautiful but so out of reach. It was starting to get dark and Bobby reluctantly turned to walk home when suddenly his eyes caught the glimmer (微光) of the setting surfs rays reflecting on something on the roadside. He reached down and discovered a shiny dime (一角硬币).
Never before has anyone felt as wealthy as Bobby did at that moment. As he held his newly-found treasure, warmth spread throughout his entire body and he walked into the first store. His excitement quickly turned cold when salesperson after salesperson told him that he could not buy anything with only a dime.
He saw a flower shop and went inside to wait in line. When the shop owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked
if he could buy one flower for his mother’s Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten-cent offering. Then he put his hand on Bobby’s shoulder, saying, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The sound of the door closing as the last customer left pulled Bobby back to reality. All alone in the shop, Bobby began to feel alone and afraid.
注意：
1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally the shop owner appeared and asked Bobby to come to the counter.

With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby became so grateful and excited.
___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
【答案】Finally the shop owner appeared and asked Bobby to come to the counter. There, before Bobby’s eyes, lay twelve red roses, with leaves of green and tiny white flowers all tied together with a big silver tape. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man.” the shop owner said, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime. Could this be true? He wondered.
With the bunch of beautiful roses in his hands, Bobby became so grateful and excited. Within minutes, he was at home, still breathless. “Look, Mother, what have I got for you?” Bobby called out in the backyard. Mother came out from inside the house. She could hardly believe her eyes upon seeing the beautiful flowers in front of her. “Merry Christmas!” Bobby said and began to tell her everything he had experienced in the flower shop. Tearfully, Mother hugged her son in her arms. Standing in the bitter cold air, they somehow didn't feel cold at all.

These events occur when single-celled organisms, known as dinoflagellates (甲藻), suddenly give off a kind of light after being disturbed. They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. Here are a few tips to help you witness bioluminescence: Monitor Social Media The first reports of a bioluminescence event are likely to show up on Instagram and Twitter, which are easily searchable. You can also set up a warning on Google that will round up news coverage. Check With Aquariums Such institutions as the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey might post updates on their websites or social media feeds, especially if bioluminescence is happening locally. Find a Dark Location If bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. Get out before the moon rises for the best conditions and some experts also suggest that two hours after sunset is a good bet. Give your eyes time to adjust and use your flashlight’s red light, which will keep your vision adjusted to the darkness. Track Hotspots The best displays can vary from night to night, so check again on social media for updates. The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence. Meanwhile, north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore, Tomales Bay is a dependable spot for bioluminescence and you can go out on guided trips with Blue Waters Kayaking. 1. What kind of condition is better for witnessing bioluminescence? A. Hot dry weather. B. Warm rainy weather. C. Cold rainy weather. D. Cold dry weather. 2. What should you stay away from when witnessing bioluminescence? A. Water. B. Sunset. C. Darkness. D. Light. 3. Where may be the best place to see bioluminescence?
山东省嘉祥县第一中学2023-2024学年高三上学期期中考试 英语试题 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解 Here are some of the best places to visit in Europe. Ephesus, Türkiye The ancient city Ephesus, located near Selcuk in modern-day Türkiye, is the most complete classical city in Europe. The 2nd-century Library of Celsus is the most famous of the ancient metropolis’ sights, closely followed by the main thoroughfare of the Curetes Street and the vast Great Theater. Plovdiv, Bulgaria Bulgaria’s second largest city, Plovdiv shared European Capital of Culture duties with Matera in Italy in 2019. The city is one of the oldest settlements in Europe. The well-preserved 2nd-century Roman theater is one of the finest archaeological sites in eastern Europe. There’s also a rich archaeological museum. Pompeii, Italy Typically pulling in more than 2.5 million visitors a year, there’s rarely a quiet time to visit Pompeii. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth making as much time for it as possible when in southern Italy. The perfectly preserved ancient city, buried under ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, is unlike anything else in Europe. Salzburg, Austria With the Alps looming over the 11th-century Hohensalzburg Fortress and series of beautiful palaces and churches, Salzburg is arguably the most picturesque city in central Europe. Protected by UNESCO, the modern world feels pleasing elsewhere. The city’s most famous son, Mozart, draws tourists’ attention with The Sound of Music which was filmed and set here. 1．What do Ephesus and Plovdiv have in common? A．They both have a 2nd-century building.B．Their ancient theatres are still being run. C．Their old libraries are well-preserved.D．They share Capital of Culture duties together. 2．What happened in Pompeii in AD 79?

From then on, Sadie tried all means to help Ren. Gradually Ben overcame his fear and he swam freely in the pool. Sadie even encouraged him to take part in the coming swimming race. When that day came, Ren stepped on the diving board and he kept calm and attentive. The gym teacher blew the whistle and this time Ren dived bravely. He swam to the other side with incredible speed and technique. The gym teacher walked to the other side of the gym and knelt down. “Incredible, Ren! ” The gym teacher helped him out of the water, shaking his hand excitedly and cheerfully. “Congratulations, you pass!” Ren held his fist tight and waved to Sadie gratefully with tears in eyes.
