23、Picture this: two new kids show up at school one day. One is dressed in sport trousers and a dirty T-shirt. The other looks like someone out of a fashion magazine. Which one is more likely to make friends on their first day?
Everybody knows the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. But let’s not pretend that style isn’t important. Other people pay attention to how you look. They are much more likely to like you if you are well-dressed. What’s more, when we look good, we feel more confident in ourselves.
You may think you have to wear a school uniform. That’s true, but there are still plenty of chances for you to show your style.
Put on your favourite dress and you will feel more outgoing and energetic. Wear something you don’t like, and see how much you feel like talking to someone you are fond of. Put on a nice suit like one that celebrities might wear and watch your posture change. Roll out of bed in yesterday’s dirty clothes and you will never feel like a winner. What you wear on the outside reflects the way you feel on the inside. Good style can even put you in a better mood.
That’s why it’s important to find a style that fits your personality. Different people look good in different things. It’s important to understand that style doesn’t mean just one thing. Some people may wear elegant dresses, while others like a more casual style. Some guys may feel comfortable in a suit, while others may just want to relax in jeans and a T-shirt. What is your style?
【1】How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A.By telling a story.

C.In a personal diary.
D.In a school magazine.
24、Our planet is home to many radioactive substances-not just in is geologic innards but also in its hospitals, at its industrial sites and in its food processing plants. In Colorado, for instance, 27 buildings house scary-sounding chemical elements such as cesium 137 and cobalt 60. These materials are not there for risky purposes, though. They play a part in cancer treatment, blood irradiation, medical and food sterilization, structure and equipment testing, geologic exploration, etc.
The radioactive material is not always bad in a black and-white way: it can be a useful tool. The rays given off by cesium and cobalt can kill germs multiplying in your meat and make your apples last longer. Radiographic instruments can detect, say, cracks in a city’s pipes in a similar way to an x-ray picking up a hairline fracture in your knee. A practice called “well logging” uses sealed radioactive sources to map the geology of holes oil seekers drill into the earth. And of course, radiation is key to cancer treatment.
The risk arises because the same radioactive material that is beneficial could also be stolen or misplaced and find its way into trafficking rings or dirty bombs. It might also barn workers if something accidentally goes wrong during a normal nine-to-five day. In 2017 alone, according to a report from the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, there were 171 “incidents of nuclear or other radioactive materials outside of regulatory control” based on open source reports, 104 of which happened in the U.S.
An initiative called RadSecure 100 was launched to remove and better secure energetic material in 100 U.S. cities. “Where is the most high-risk material located around the most people?” says Emily Adams, deputy director of a domestic program in the Office of Radiological Security. “And that’s how we got our 100.”
【1】What message does the author seem to convey in paragraph 1?
A.Radioactive substances can warm our planet.
B.Food processing does harm to workers in plants.
C.The radioactive material is basically everywhere.
D.It’s hard to remove scary-sounding elements in buildings.
【2】Why does the author mention “well logging” in paragraph 2?
A.To make a summary.
B.To raise a question.
C.To provide a contrast.
D.To support an idea.
【3】What is RadSecure 100 intended for?
A.Making use of energetic substances.
B.Ensuring safety of the radioactive material.
C.Warning people of the most high-risk material
D.Protecting the Office of Radiological Security.
【4】What is the writer’s attitude towards the radioactive material?
A.Pessimistic.
B.Objective.
C.Disapproval.
D.Carefree.

26、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。
My first ever movie is being shown in Mrs. Yang’s coffee shop. I had always dreamed about showing my video to my neighborhood. I bet you can’t imagine how I got this chance to play my movie there. The story begins on an unusual afternoon two weeks ago:
“Cut, cut, cut!” I shouted, one hand holding the phone, the other grabbing the leash(牵狗的皮带). I complained this was not how I pictured the big chase scene of my movie playing out. What kind of Hollywood star dog wears a leash? It was Dad’s one rule, though. Because Chewy was only a puppy, I had to keep him on the leash whenever we filmed outside. If I followed that rule, I could use Dad’s old cell phone to shoot my movie.
I decided to try again. I held on to his leash, hit the big red record button on the phone’s screen, and yelled, “Action!” With the leash on, though, he didn’t exactly appear to be in any real hurry to catch anyone. The only way to make this look real would be to take off the leash. But that would break the promise made with Dad.
Eventually, I released the leash, put Chewy down on his mark and hit record. But before I could shout “action,” Chewy’s ears popped up. He turned to the sound of footsteps walking past our driveway. It was Mrs. Yang, our next-door neighbor. She was Chewy’s favorite, probably because she loved to give him treats. He greeted Mrs. Yang with a bark and playfully jumped in circles around her.
“You must smell the biscuits I just bought for you,” she said to him. That’s when Chewy noticed her grocery bag. He grabbed it and tore it with his mouth. I watched in horror as her groceries spilled all over the sidewalk.
I wanted to apologize. I wanted to help her pick up her things. But the moment I realized that Dad would find out I had taken Chewy’s leash off, I hesitated. In a panic, I grabbed Chewy and ran inside the house. All afternoon, I replayed that embarrassing scene in my head.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
When Dad arrived home that evening, I handed him his cell phone, lowering my head.
