(2017·南昌第一次模擬)I used to serve as an ocean lifeguard.Whenever possible, I got shifts working the Point known for its massive and natural rip currents (離岸流)．www.21-cn-jy.com
In a shift, I was working Tower 15.Mike was working Tower 17.He phoned me, “I got a couple of kids.I have to give them a warning.Keep an eye on us.”【來源：21·世紀·教育·網(wǎng)】
As soon as he hung up,?he grabbed his life belt.A rip was torn open under these two kids, and they were getting sucked in.All I saw was two small noses moving up and down in the wavy water.
I dropped?my binoculars (雙筒望遠鏡) calling, ?“Double rescue 17 — he's out.I'm going.”?Mike was already hitting through the surf line.Realizing what happened, the mother was on her feet screaming.At that time, Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water.Exhausted, the children couldn't move.So Mike was carrying them, one under each arm.Meanwhile, I saw the terror start to flow over her.
She looked at Mike.A kind of panic washed over her as though some new, equally dangerous threat was on her kids'??lives.She rushed up to Mike, snatched her kids and walked away.Not even a thank-you.
Mike had a rough upbringing.He had frightening tattoos (文身), ?and his shaved head showed the scar from a broken beer bottle.I didn't really get along with Mike.But everything he lacked in personal relationship skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.
Having a young son and daughter, I couldn't even imagine the depth of her terror, so I sympathized with her.
Anyway, I promise myself I will never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a real hero.

(2018屆高三·廣東七校聯(lián)合體聯(lián)考)
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved.So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?www-2-1-cnjy-com
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影響) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move_things_forward.If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living ?in caves.Thus, ?I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。文章討論了現(xiàn)代建筑是否應(yīng)該和古老的歷史建筑建在一起的問題。

Tang ?poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature.It's a miracle (奇跡) in the cultural history of mankind.The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory.It inherited (繼承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world.Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people.Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting, and music and dance all gained new peaks of development.Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.

If you are writing a research paper for a class, consider the other students.__38__ How can you keep your paper unique and interesting if everyone is writing about the same thing?
Ask your professor or classmates for advice, if you're struggling to come up with a “right” topic.__39__ Sometimes asking professors for help may seem frightening, but if they are worth anything as a professor, they want you to be successful in your work, and will do what they can to make that happen.
If you choose a?topic, begin researching, and realize that it isn't the right decision for you for some reason, don't worry! __40__ Although it requires a bit more time, yet changing your topic will make your writing more efficient.
