• 13．Marcelo Toledo usually creates sculptures and jewelry out of metal.Now the Argentine artist is working with a new material：waste from the COVID-19 pandemic，such as masks，to create an exhibition exploring the painful impact of the virus.
     Toledo，who has made jewelry for the musical "Evita" on Broadway and unique pieces for many famous people，was among the first in Argentina to be infected with COVID-19，which left him hospitalized for eight days.The experience had a great effect on his life and led to a series of artworks，including a 14-meter mask with the Argentine flag that he placed on the famous obelisk（方尖紀念碑）in Buenos Aires to raise awareness about organ donation during the pandemic.
     For his new exhibition，the "Museum of the After"，Toledo is collecting recycled waste from the COVID-19 sent by hospitals，laboratories and strangers，including old medical parts and newspapers about the pandemic.
     "I am excited to be able to turn pain into beauty and this exhibition is just recording everything that is happening to us as a society，" Toledo said.The artworks，which will go on show from September in a public space in downtown Buenos Aires，will all be made from waste materials or garbage that people send him. "It is the first time that I have done an exhibition in which I do not have to buy any of the elements，" he said.
     In the exhibition，there will be a real ship that will symbolically cross a "storm" and recycling islands to raise awareness about the importance of caring for the environment. "The exhibition will tell the story of this ship that went sailing and was stranded（擱淺）by a storm，which is a great metaphor for what is happening to us.This pandemic is a great global storm，" Toledo said.
     As with the huge mask，which was in countries such as the United States and Japan，the artist dreams of replicating（復制）the new exhibition in other cities around the world.

• 41．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
     I'm not much of a hugger，but I have Grandma a hug when we walked into her house.I tried not to look at Grandpa's chair but saw it anyway.It still looked the same：worn-out white leather，pointed at the television.Even the green afghan（針織毛毯）was there，as if Grandpa were going to sit down and pull it over his legs.
     "Let's go look for crawdads（淡水螯蝦）!" Scott，one of my twin cousins yelled and Matt，Scott's brother ran to the hall closet to pull out the long skinny crawdad trap—Grandpa's trap.They acted as if Grandpa hadn't died during the winter.
     I was holding that trap in my hands last summer when Grandpa asked me if I wanted to stay and help him teach Jonathan，my little brother，how to play dominoes（多米諾骨牌）.I said no-I wanted to catch crawdads with my cousins.
     Grandpa had been the one who'd taught us all how to catch crawdads，but he was sick then，so he stayed behind.
     When Grandpa died，all I could think about was the dominoes.I'd said no，and now there wouldn't be any more dominoes with Grandpa.
     "Hey，Nick，are you coming？" Scott asked from the doorway，I was leaving with them when my Mom asked me to take Jonathan with me.The four of us ran down the narrow trail that led from Grandma's house to the creek（小溪），then followed the creek until it spilled into a deep pool.
     We lowered the crawdad trap into one end of the pool，the way Grandpa had shown us.Then we took off our shirts and shoes and jumped in.The ice-cold water was a shock.We all sprang out almost as quickly as we'd gone in.After that we took turns daring each other to jump into the water.Just as we were all happily enjoying ourselves，Scott found that Jonathon was shaking from his teeth to his toes.Not knowing how to deal with it，I took Jonathan back to Grandma's house.
     Mom and Grandma wrapped Jonathan in Grandpa's green afghan，put him in Grandpa's chair and make him some hot cocoa to warm him up.Grandma also asked me to stay for cocoa，but I wanted to join my cousins in the creek.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
  As I headed back to the creek，I saw Jonathan sitting in front of the blank TV screen.___________
  I walked over to Jonathon and asked "Did Grandpa ever teach you to play dominoes？"_________
