A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat. Now, he’s spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones. In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.
C
It is universally believed that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may boost your brain. Generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reason to keep on top of their children’s musical education, since learning an instrument is not only associated with better educational achievement but also cognition (认知) and even intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life?
A new study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.
But how about being musical without playing an instrument? According to the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) function but not memory, suggesting that playing an instrument has additional brain health benefits. Why singing would help us with our executive function is not clear and requires further investigation. However, singing has a strong social benefit when done in choirs, and there is good evidence that being involved in social activity is good for our brain health.
Playing an instrument or singing seems to have benefits to our brain health in ageing, according to the study. What is yet to be established is whether this would also help prevent future cognitive decline (下降) or dementia. The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.
8. What does the new study center on?
A. The cognition improvement by singing in a choir.
B. Musical people’s ability of keeping focused on tasks.
C. Academic progress of children playing an instrument.
D. Musicality’s effect upon better cognition later in life.
9 Who might improve most in memory according to the passage?
A. Catherine who sings in a choir. B. Sam who was born in a music family.
C. Mary who played the piano for years. D. Jack who is eager to get music education.
10. What does the underlined word “established” mean in Paragraph 4?
A Proved. B. Started. C. Announced. D. Admitted.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study?
A. Objective. B. Opposed. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
D
It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature. So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers. These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By giving daily examples. B. By analyzing office rules.
C. By mentioning an experiment. D. By sharing a personal experience.
13. What can we know about women from paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men. B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men. D. They are more sensitive to cold.
14. Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals?
A. To show their preference for cold.
B. To provide more evidence for the findings.
C. To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D. To inform us of a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Women have an advantage.
B. Why do women feel cold more?
C. How do we agree on the ideal temperature?
D. Biological differences between men and women.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
I was preparing side dishes to go with our Sunday barbecue when our daughter Rose stormed in the front door and rushed to her room. I glanced out the window and saw our neighbor Lucy walking back to her house across the road. As a mother, my feeling told me something happened between them.
“Rose, come in here. I need some help with dinner.” She came out of her room and stood beside me. She had a stubborn look on her face—the kind kids have when they know they are wrong but have persuaded themselves they are right. “I noticed that Lucy, your classmate, came over but didn’t stay long. Why?” I asked. “I don’t like her,” Rose complained. “I wish she would stop coming over here all the time. She dresses terribly, and sometimes she doesn’t smell good. Her nose is always runny, and her hair is in a mess. None of us like her.”
I knew that she referred to the popular crowd. It was a lot for a senior high student to deal with, trying to fit in with the popular crowd. It might be a shame if one of the girls in that crowd knew Lucy was playing with Rose.
I explained why I felt so sad for Lucy. “You see, baby,” I began, “I know how she felt today when you were sort of cold toward her. I know because that was me when I was in sixth grade. I was the poor kid with hand-me-down clothes, the kid who others looked down on. I also know what it was like to be hungry and see other families having a barbecue out and enjoying themselves. That feeling never goes away.” I went on to tell her that I didn’t want her to be that child or adult who looked down on others. I told her I wanted her to be kind and helpful, not judgmental and hurtful. I noticed Rose had tears in her eyes.
注意:
1.续写词数应为100词左右;
2.请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Minutes later, Rose went to Lucy’s house across the road.

A heart attack led Ivan Markov to take up gardening on a small patch (小块土地) in front of his council flat. Now, he’s spreading his love of nature across south London.
Markov grew up on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, and learned to love nature in these tropical zones. In 2007, he moved to Lewisham, south-east London, to work as a teacher. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with heart failure in 2010. During the treatment and recovery, he read about a local award for best garden, and though he only had a front garden outside his flat, he thought the competition would be something to work towards. He worked on his patch for most of the year, planting seeds and plants, such as flowers, berries and herbs. Surprisingly, he won the best front garden prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I nearly fell off my seat.”
That was the start. Markov created a community nursery (苗圃) at the side of his house, and started planting bushes across the road. “I had so much beauty in my garden,” he says. “I wanted to share what I had.” He started offering guide to others. News of Markov’s green-fingered selflessness began to spread. “I go to someone’s property and give them advice on how to plant a garden,” he says. He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.
He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”
Gardening gives Markov “the feeling of creating something from nothing and so much pleasure”. His dream is to create more green areas. Markov is making this corner of south-east London a paradise for all.
4. What can be inferred about Markov in paragraph 2?
A. He worked as a gardener. B. He failed in the competition.
C. He won an education prize. D. He turned out a green finger.
5. Which can best describe Markov according to paragraph 3?
A. Smart and courageous. B. Confident and diligent.
C. Generous and warm-hearted. D. Humorous and energetic.
6. What may Markov agree about gardening?
A. Selflessness values a lot. B. Skilled techniques are needed.
C. Much space is important. D. Desire to take actions matters.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of a community nursery. B. A creator of a green paradise for all.
C. A positive spirit against difficulty. D. The harmony of human and nature.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B

He delivers cuttings and seeds and helps people report plants, but everything he does is free. To date, Markov has helped six neighbourhoods embrace sustainable gardening.(“我花园里有那么多美丽的东西,”他说。“我想分享我所拥有的。”他开始给别人提供指导。马尔可夫的“绿手指”无私的消息开始传播。他说:“我去别人家,给他们一些如何种植花园的建议。”他运送插枝和种子,帮助人们归还植物,但他所做的一切都是免费的。迄今为止,马尔科夫已经帮助六个社区接受了可持续园艺。)”可知,他主动和别人分享自己拥有的东西,说明他是热心的,他免费帮助别人说明他是慷慨的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He wants to show people you don’t have to live in the country to create beauty. “It doesn’t matter how much space you have. Outside my place there’s a tiny square, tiny. I grow tomatoes there for my supper. The opportunities are endless.”(他想告诉人们,你不必住在乡下也能创造美。“你有多大的空间并不重要。我家外面有个小广场,很小。我在那里种西红柿做晚餐。机会是无限的。”)”可推知,关于园艺,马尔科夫可能会同意采取行动的愿望很重要。故选D。
【7题详解】

It is universally believed that playing an instrument or singing in a choir may boost your brain. Generations of parents have told their children to practice their musical instruments. Parents have good reason to keep on top of their children’s musical education, since learning an instrument is not only associated with better educational achievement but also cognition (认知) and even intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life?
A new study in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this question by asking middle-aged and older people to complete a questionnaire on their lifetime musical experience before completing cognitive tests. The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.
But how about being musical without playing an instrument? According to the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) function but not memory, suggesting that playing an instrument has additional brain health benefits. Why singing would help us with our executive function is not clear and requires further investigation. However, singing has a strong social benefit when done in choirs, and there is good evidence that being involved in social activity is good for our brain health.
Playing an instrument or singing seems to have benefits to our brain health in ageing according to the study. What is yet to be established is whether this would also help prevent future cognitive decline (下降) or dementia. The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.
8. What does the new study center on?
A. The cognition improvement by singing in a choir.
B. Musical people’s ability of keeping focused on tasks.
C. Academic progress of children playing an instrument.
D. Musicality’s effect upon better cognition later in life.
9. Who might improve most in memory according to the passage?
A. Catherine who sings in a choir. B. Sam who was born in a music family.
C. Mary who played the piano for years. D. Jack who is eager to get music education.
10. What does the underlined word “established” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Proved. B. Started. C. Announced. D. Admitted.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings of the study?
A. Objective. B. Opposed. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章探讨了音乐活动,特别是演奏乐器和唱歌,对人脑健康的影响。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Parents have good reason to keep on top of their children’s musical education, since learning an instrument is not only associated with better educational achievement but also cognition (认知) and even intelligence scores in children. But does this musicality contribute to better cognition later in life?(一代又一代的父母都告诉他们的孩子要练习乐器。父母有充分的理由关注孩子的音乐教育,因为学习一种乐器不仅与更好的教育成就有关,而且与孩子的认知甚至智力得分有关。但是,这种音乐性是否有助于以后更好的认知能力呢?)”可知,这项新研究的重点是音乐性对以后更好的认知能力的影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The results showed that musical people had better memory and ability to stay focused on tasks and plans than those with less or no musicality.(结果显示,有音乐天赋的人比那些缺乏或没有音乐天赋的人有更好的记忆力和专注于任务和计划的能力)”以及第三段“But how about being musical without playing an instrument? According to the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) function but not memory, suggesting that playing an instrument has additional brain health benefits.(但是如果不演奏乐器,只是具有音乐性会怎么样呢?根据研究结果,唱歌可以提高决策功能,但不能提高记忆力,这表明演奏乐器对大脑健康有额外的好处)”可知,演奏乐器对大脑健康有额外的好处。由此推知,弹了多年钢琴的玛丽的记忆力最有可能提高。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.(这项研究还没有对此提供证据,也不清楚这些发现如何适用于普通人群,因为研究中的大多数人都是受过良好教育的富裕女性)”可知,这项研究还没有对此提供证据,所以不能证明是否也有助于预防未来的认知能力下降或痴呆症。由此推知,划线词established是“证明”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Playing an instrument or singing seems to have benefits to our brain health in ageing, according to the study. What is yet to be established is whether this would also help prevent future cognitive decline (下降) or dementia. The study provides no evidence for this yet and it is also not clear how the findings apply to the general population, since most people in the study were female, well-educated and well-off.(根据这项研究,演奏乐器或唱歌似乎对我们年老时的大脑健康有益。目前尚不清楚的是,这是否也有助于预防未来的认知能力下降或痴呆症。这项研究还没有对此提供证据,也不清楚这些发现如何适用于普通人群,因为研究中的大多数人都是受过良好教育的富裕女性)”可知,作者即指出了这项研究积极的一面,但是也提到不足之处。由此推知,作者持有客观的态度。故选A项。
D
It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?
With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.
The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature. So the difference between heat-sensing systems may provide an advantage.
Couples choosing separate blankets is one way to overcome the differences in temperature preferences. In the workplace, personal comfort systems are heating systems that heat or cool and can be locally placed in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, or footwarmers. These provide individualised thermal comfort (热舒适) to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space, and have been found to produce higher comfort satisfaction in the workplace.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By giving daily examples. B. By analyzing office rules.
C. By mentioning an experiment. D. By sharing a personal experience.
13. What can we know about women from paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men. B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men. D. They are more sensitive to cold.
14. Why does the author mention the studies on birds and mammals?
A. To show their preference for cold.
B. To provide more evidence for the findings.
C. To introduce the system of keeping warm.
D. To inform us of a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Women have an advantage.
B. Why do women feel cold more?
C. How do we agree on the ideal temperature?
D. Biological differences between men and women.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章探讨了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷,并从生物学和生理学的角度解释了这一现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature. Research does often show women prefer a higher indoor temperature, compared with men. But why do women feel the cold more?(这是夫妻之间经常争论的一个问题——怎样的温度既能让双方保持温暖,又不会太热。而温度的设置常常成为办公室里男女之间关于“正确”温度的争论的基础。研究确实经常显示,与男性相比,女性更喜欢较高的室内温度。但为什么女性更容易感到寒冷呢?)”可知,作者通过一些日常的例子来引入文章的主题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to produce heat. Women also have more fat between the skin and the muscles, so the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels. Women also tend to have a lower metabolic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat production ability during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops. Additionally, the hormones mainly found in women make women’s hands, feet and ears stay around three degrees Celsius cooler than men’s.(在相同体重的情况下,女性产生热量的肌肉往往较少。女性在皮肤和肌肉之间也有更多的脂肪,所以皮肤感觉更冷,因为它离血管稍微远一些。女性的新陈代谢率也往往比男性低,这降低了女性在寒冷环境下的产热能力,使女性在气温下降时更容易感到寒冷。此外,主要存在于女性体内的激素使女性的手、脚和耳朵比男性的温度低3摄氏度左右)”可知,从本段我们可以知道女性对寒冷更敏感。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The phenomenon that women prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans. (女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有)”和“Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and the young stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer to rest at the cool, high peaks of mountains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have developed a preference for warmer climates to encourage them to rest with offspring (幼崽) during stages when the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature.(对许多鸟类和哺乳动物的研究表明,雄性通常聚集在阴凉的凉爽地区,而雌性和幼崽则呆在有阳光的温暖环境中。雄蝙蝠喜欢在凉爽的山峰上休息,而雌蝙蝠则呆在温暖的山谷里。雌性哺乳动物可能已经形成了对温暖气候的偏好,以鼓励它们在幼崽无法调节自身体温的阶段与后代一起休息)”可知,本段提到鸟类和哺乳动物的研究是为了为研究结果提供更多证据(即女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有)。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a common debate between couples — the perfect temperature to keep both warm but not hot. And the temperature’s setting often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men about the “correct” temperature.

【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了中国年轻人在春节期间推崇汉服,以及汉服在全球范围内的流行和影响力。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:按照中国新年穿新衣的传统,中国的年轻人将汉服的购买推向了一个新的高度,并使其成为一种流行。此处是固定搭配:make sth. a hit意为“使某事大受欢迎”。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:今年春节期间,在世界各地的许多地方都可以看到年轻人穿着中国的传统服装汉服。see作本句谓语,和主语Young people之间是被动关系,用被动语态,根据时间状语during this year’s Spring Festival holiday可知,用一般过去时。故填were seen。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一月底,社交媒体平台“小红书”发起了一项活动,邀请用户上传自己在世界各地地标建筑中穿着汉服的照片或视频。此处是固定搭配:invite sb. to do sth.意为“请某人做某事”。故填to upload。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该活动的前两周,约有1万名小红书用户分享了他们在全球约30个国家和地区拍摄的照片。本句已有谓语动词saw,所以take用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语photos之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填taken。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:一位用户甚至发布了来自南极洲的照片。post作本句谓语,描述的是已发生的事,用一般过去时。故填posted。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:许多汉服的支持者认为,强烈的民族自豪感促使他们穿上汉服。本句真正的主语是后文that引导的主语从句,所以空处应填it作形式主语。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:汉服,以及其他传统形式的中国服装,近年来变得非常流行。空处修饰空后的形容词,应该用副词修饰。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国的许多大学都有一个汉服协会,其成员穿着汉服庆祝中国的传统节日。空处引导定语从句,先行词是hanfu society,在从句中作定语,用whose引导。故填whose。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“新中国风”将中国传统元素与现代设计相结合,不仅在中国,而且在全世界的年轻一代中已经发展成为一种时尚潮流。本句已有谓语动词has developed,所以combine用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语The “new Chinese style”之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填combining。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:分析人士表示,“中国风”的兴起显示了中国年轻人对自己文化的信心。空前是名词所有格,所以空处应填名词作宾语,confident的名词形式是confidence。故填confidence。

【答案】Dear Tom,
I hope the letter finds you well. An English Drama Festival was held in my school last week, in which I performed a school play. It’s a great pleasure to share with you my first stage experience.
You know it’s my first attempt, so I was quite nervous, reciting my lines again and again before stepping onto the stage. Once I stood on the stage, something amazing happened. Fears quickly disappearing, lines crowded in my mind. It was not until my friends and classmates stood up applauding me that I realized I did finish my job.
What an unforgettable experience! I start to love the stage in the spotlight.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
I was preparing side dishes to go with our Sunday barbecue when our daughter Rose stormed in the front door and rushed to her room. I glanced out the window and saw our neighbor Lucy walking back to her house across the road. As a mother, my feeling told me something happened between them.
“Rose, come in here. I need some help with dinner.” She came out of her room and stood beside me. She had a stubborn look on her face—the kind kids have when they know they are wrong but have persuaded themselves they are right. “I noticed that Lucy, your classmate, came over but didn’t stay long. Why?” I asked. “I don’t like her,” Rose complained. “I wish she would stop coming over here all the time. She dresses terribly, and sometimes she doesn’t smell good. Her nose is always runny, and her hair is in a mess. None of us like her.”
I knew that she referred to the popular crowd. It was a lot for a senior high student to deal with, trying to fit in with the popular crowd. It might be a shame if one of the girls in that crowd knew Lucy was playing with Rose.
I explained why I felt so sad for Lucy. “You see, baby,” I began, “I know how she felt today when you were sort of cold toward her. I know because that was me when I was in sixth grade. I was the poor kid with hand-me-down clothes, the kid who others looked down on. I also know what it was like to be hungry and see other families having a barbecue out and enjoying themselves. That feeling never goes away.” I went on to tell her that I didn’t want her to be that child or adult who looked down on others. I told her I wanted her to be kind and helpful, not judgmental and hurtful. I noticed Rose had tears in her eyes.
注意:
1.续写词数应为100词左右;
2.请按下列格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Minutes later, Rose went to Lucy’s house across the road.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Minutes later, Rose went to Lucy’s house across the road. She knocked tentatively on the door, her heart pounding. When Lucy opened the door, Rose could see the surprise on her face. “Hi, Lucy,” Rose began, “I just wanted to apologize for earlier. I shouldn’t have been so rude.” Lucy’s expression softened, and she stepped aside to let Rose in. “I wanted to invite you to our Sunday barbecue,” Rose offered. “I hope we can still be friends and enjoy some quality time together.” Lucy smiled, her eyes welling up with tears. “Thank you, Rose,” she whispered. “I really appreciate it.” And just like that, the tension between the girls eased, paving the way for a stronger friendship.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,女儿的朋友Lucy来找女儿Rose玩,但是女儿因为Lucy总是流鼻涕,头发乱糟糟的而不喜欢她,拒绝Lucy来家里玩,作者看到后,用自己童年的经历告诉女儿,不希望她成为那种看不起别人的孩子或成年人,女儿听闻后,感到内疚,于是上门给Lucy道歉,并邀请她参加烧烤。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后,Rose去了路对面Lucy的家。”可知,第一段可描写女儿去给Lucy道歉的经过。
2. 续写线索:Lucy来找Rose玩——Rose讨厌她——了解情况——讲述自己的经历——Rose内疚——Rose道歉——Lucy接受道歉,两人言归于好。
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①看到:see/observe/notice
②邀请:invite/ask/send an invitation to
情绪类
①感激:appreciate/be grateful/be appreciative
②惊讶:surprise/amazement/astonishment
【点睛】[高分句型1]When Lucy opened the door, Rose could see the surprise on her face.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2]I hope we can still be friends and enjoy some quality time together.(运用了省略that的宾语从句)
