[河北邢台2021高二期中]Watch actor Sterling K. Brown,and one of the first things you may notice is his eyes.
In a scene from the last season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,Brown plays Reggie,a hard-nosed manager. His language is rough,but his eyes reveal something more: He's feeling guilty and defensive. Or look at his work on NBC's hit drama This Is Us,where Brown plays Randall Pearson,a Black man adopted by a white family. Again,Brown's eyes reveal a lot.
Those two performances have allowed Brown to make Emmy Awards history this year: nominated as best lead actor in a drama series for This Is Us and best supporting actor in a comedy series for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon's Prime Video.
Grateful as he is for his nominations,Brown also sees the record number of Black performers nominated for Emmys-about 34%of the acting nominees this year-as a welcome reaction to the civil rights reckoning and Black Lives Matter protests of the summer.
The actor says it's also part of a long march towards recognition of Black performers,held back by oppression in Hollywood back to the early 1900s,when white people wore blackface to play Black characters in films.
Brown has made history at awards shows before: In 2018,he became the first Black man to win best actor in a drama at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild awards.
With degrees from Stanford University and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts,Brown has spent about two decades appearing on TV shows like Lifetime's Army Wiaves and his first series regular role,playing a cop on FX's short-lived 2005 drama Starved.
These days Brown is excited about the new season of This Is Us,which will begin with two episodes addressing both the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests.

Children with autism(自闭症)have problems with social skills and communication. They often behave in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.
Autism is more common in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences.
Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age.
“At six months of age,the signs of some risk of developing communication and social delays,including autism,include motor delay. For instance,when your baby is lying on the bed and you pull the baby by the arms gently into a seated position,the baby's head may not move forwards,a sign of poor head control. It does not mean that the baby is going to have autism,but it does mean that the baby needs to take some exercise to strengthen their body. And when they strengthen their body, they are better able to play with toys and engage with people, which then go on to help them have better outcomes."
By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include having difficulty in using words and avoiding eye contact or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam.
"It's important for parents to tune in to their children's development, and if a parent is concerned about a child's development, seek for professionals, and listen to them." she says. "The earlier parents notice delays, the sooner they can begin doing simple things that may help improve their child's development, such as talking to the child about what they are doing, commenting when the child shows them something, and playing simple games that keep the child's attention."
1. What's the best title for the passage
A. How to Confirm a Diagnosis of Autism
B. Watching for Early Signs of Autism in Babies
C. Ways to Help Children With Autism to Recover
D. Children With Autism Have Problems With Communication
2. What can we learn from Paragraph3
A. Landa has found ways to confirm a diagnosis of autism when a baby is about six months.
B. Landa tried to find out autism earlier by comparing the differences as the babies grow up.
C. Doctors observed 235 babies between 6 and 36 months of age under the guide of Landa.
D. Now doctors can confirm diagnosis of autism before a child is about three years old.
3. When a baby with signs of possible autism is a year and two months old, he or she may________.
A. show great interest in learning
B. have difficulty in raising his or her head
C. like reaching out to other people
D. express less when communicating with others
4. What should the parents do when their child is diagnosed with autism
A. Send the child to the hospital at once.
B. Find a special school for the child.
C. Spend more time talking with the child.
D. Encourage the child to play games online.

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun,and children can keep healthy while playing with others. 1 It may cause feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behaviour in some children. According to the research on kids and sports,40,000,000 kids play sports in the USA. Of these,18,000,000 say they have been shouted at or called names while playing sports. This makes many children leave a bad impression on sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults,especially parents and coaches,are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports.2 This behaviour is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,sending children the message that winning is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and shout insults at other players or cheer when their children behave aggressively. As well,children are even taught that it is acceptable to hurt other players or push other players to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition,the media makes violence seem exciting.3
Nowadays,we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it.4 They also need to teach children better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not.5 If adults allow children to play when they are injured,this gives the message that health is not as important as winning.
A. Parents and coaches in particular should act as better examples for children.
B. However,playing sports can have negative effects on children.
C. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk.
D. They believe children copy aggressive adult behaviour.
E. Besides,children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.
F. Many children are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that they might be hurt.
G. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behaviour replayed over and over on television.

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。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear,lacking courage,she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer,the neighbourhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend,Lucy,came to invite her to participate in the competition,but Emily said,"I'm afraid to take part in it." Her mother said,“It's okay,just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mother's advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid(胆小的)to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily(颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing,but her voice was so low. What's worse,she was so nervous that she forget the lyrics(歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others,embarrassed and shy,she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said,"Emily,coward(胆小鬼)!Emily,coward!"Emily didn't argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally,she rushed into the house,hugged her mum and cried sadly.
“Well,my poor girl. Don't cry. Tell me what happened to you,"asked her mum. Emily looked at her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her,her mum cupped her face and said,"It doesn't matter,girl. As long as you practise singing more in front of strangers,you will become braver little by little. So,my girl,don't be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practise singing every day. No matter who is listening to you,go on singing and never stop. I believe you can make it on the stage one day."
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her suggestion.___________

Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.What happened to Emily after following her mum's suggestion?
【参考范文】
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her suggestion. The next day,she began to practise singing outside. Gradually,her courage became greater and greater,and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later,she could sing as she was walking. A naughty boy who had laughed at her before still cried to her,“Emily,coward!Emily,coward!”However,she chose to ignore his behaviour.
Going on singing,she walked into the park,where many people were singing and dancing. Hearing her beautiful voice,some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. A grandma smiled to her and said,"Oh,little girl,you sing really well!"Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year,the neighbourhood held the singing competition again. This time,Emily walked onto the stage bravely,and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her,including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl had become a brave one.
