课时梯级训练(十六) Section Ⅳ Writing
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·广州高二检测)Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for the world's two persistent problems: garbage and poverty.It's called the Chip Bag Project.The 26yearold student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers:Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash,donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from their favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store,where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water,they slice them open,lay them flat,and iron them together.They use padding and liners(内衬) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag,and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags,depending on whether they're singleserve or family size.The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof,lightweight,and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020,the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and,as of last December,created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure,it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for the volunteers and Oleita whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life.“We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially,but environmentally,” she says.
And,of course,there's the symbolism of saving bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand,as Oleita told an interviewer:“I think it's time to show connections between all of these issues.”

How to Resolve Conflicts Between Classmates
It's my great honor to have the opportunity to deliver a speech on how to deal with conflicts between classmates,which are quite common.Here are some suggestions on how to solve conflicts between classmates.
Firstly,we need to be honest with others.Honesty is the best strategy and the easiest way to gain understanding from others.Secondly,if it is your own fault,be brave enough to take responsibility and sincerely apologize.Finally,if it is other classmates' mistakes,it is necessary to sincerely point out their mistakes.
You should be strict with yourself,and be tolerant towards others.I hope the suggestions above are helpful to you.Thank you.
Ⅲ.读后续写
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。
Josibelk Aponte considers herself lucky.Few people get to meet their guardian angels(守护天使).
Aponte has a special place in her heart for retired Hartford police officer Peter Getz,who stood with her as if she were his own child,as she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University on Tuesday.
“There are only a few moments that are so important in life,” Aponte said.“I wanted to share my graduation with everyone who's important to me,who has been there for me,and who helped me through tough times.”
Getz certainly fits that description: He saved Aponte on June 25,2004,a day the 23yearold describes as the “best and worst day” of her life.
“I almost died,but I was given a second chance at life,” she said.“And it was because of Peter and all the kind people who came to help that day.They were my heroes.”
A fire in the Aponte family's apartment broke out as Josibelk,then 5 years old,was home with her uncle Jofrey.She tried,in vain,to wake up Jofrey.Then,darkness.Meanwhile,Getz,a policeman,got there in time to see a firefighter pull a small girl from the building.In his rush to get back inside to put out the flames,the firefighter threw Aponte into Getz's arms.
Doctors hadn't arrived yet.Aponte had nearly stopped breathing.Getz carried out CPR (心肺复苏术) in the police car as his partner sped toward Hartford Hospital.By the time Getz passed her off to the hospital staff of the emergency room,Aponte was breathing on her own.
Aponte woke up hours later,surrounded by her family.Getz went to see her several times before the girl fully recovered.Aponte said she still has the teddy bear that Getz gave her during her hospital stay.
As time passed,they lost touch with each other as Aponte's family moved to Vernon.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
About two years ago,Aponte tried to contact Getz through social media.

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
About two years ago,Aponte tried to contact Getz through social media.“We really appreciate Peter putting himself in danger to save others,” said Aponte.“I owe gratitude to Peter.Had it not been for people like Peter,all of our police officers and firefighters,I couldn't be alive now.Now I'll graduate from college.I do hope he can attend my graduation ceremony.” To the great delight of Aponte,she eventually found Getz with the help of many kind people.Since then,the two got together regularly,sometimes meeting for lunch.
Paragraph 2:
At the graduation ceremony,many people came to Getz and spoke highly of his bravery.In response,he said,“I simply did what I was trained to do and what I had to do.It is my duty.The firemen did their job,I did my job,and the hospital staff did their job.They were really heroes.” After a short pause,Getz continued,“How I wish I were as young as you! If I were 20 years younger,I would like to return to college for further education.”
