A
For many years, I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work.
One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move.
In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something.
I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher.
When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success.

When does spring begin? For some, it’s the second Sunday in March, when we turn our clocks forward by an hour in the United States. For others, it’s when they first realize they’ve finished dinner and it’s still light out. This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.
It’s only a three-hour flight from La Guardia (rainy, cold), New York to West Palm Beach (sunny, 81 degrees, slight breeze), Florida and from there an hour’s drive to Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, the spring training home of the New York Mets, where the traffic of more than 7,000 fans descended. Here in Port St. Lucie on a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season’s official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling (起哄) the players. Here, spring was already happening.
Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, things do feel slower and easier. I love that baseball has long been considered America’s national pastime. A pastime is something that makes the passing of time pleasant. Isn’t that what we’re dying for in the winter months? Something that makes time not just tolerable but enjoyable?
By the time I left Florida, it was pouring rain and even a little chilly. How was I supposed to take springtime home with me, I wondered fiercely. It was still raining in New York when I landed. Spring isn’t just weather, of course, and it certainly makes no promises about rain. I'm trying to resist cliché (陈词滥调), to keep from saying something similar to “spring is a state of mind,” even though I wish it were.
I went looking for spring and I found it where spring breakers find it every year, already in full swing in the Sunshine State. My own official removal of woolen coats will occur on Tuesday, when spring finally arrives. But having experienced 24 hours of spring’s full pageant (盛会), my own little preseason, I feel slightly pacified. Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.
6. What is presented in Paragraph 1?
A. Spring falls on a fixed date.
B. Spring came late this year.
C. The author was longing for spring restlessly.
D. The author was celebrating the end of winter.
7. How did the author find Port St. Lucie?
A. A fast-paced world. B. Full of a joyful atmosphere.
C. The birthplace of baseball. D. Home to delicious food.
8. What does the underlined word “pacified” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Puzzled. B. Disappointed. C. Curious. D. Calm.
9. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. In Search of Spring B. In Praise of Spring
C. A Trip to Florida D. A Farewell to New York
C
John Cruitt, 62, spent decades tracking down his third-grade teacher.
He wanted to talk with Cecile Doyle about 1958 — the year his mother who was seriously ill, passed away.
Her death came just days before Christmas. Cruitt had been expecting to go home from school and decorate the Christmas tree.
Doyle tells Cruitt at StoryCorps in Monroe, N. Y. “And you just don’t know how you’re going to go on without that person.”
When Cruitt returned to school, Doyle waited until all of the other children left the room at the end of the day, and told him that she was there if he needed her.
“Then you kissed me on the head,” Cruitt says. “And I felt that things really would be OK.”
“Well, Cruitt, I’m so glad that I could be there with you for that time,” says Doyle, 82.
Decades after his mother’s death, Cruitt began to think more and more of Doyle. He finally wrote a letter:
Dear Mrs. Doyle,
If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N. J., then I’m embarrassed, and you can neglect the letter. My name is John Cruitt, and I was in your third-grade class during the 1958-1959 school year. Two days before Christmas, my mother passed away, and you told me that you were there if I needed you. I hope life has been as kind to you as you were to me.
God bless you.
John Cruitt
Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time. Her husband, who passed away this August, was struggling with Parkinson’s disease.
“Well the funny thing is, when I finally wrote to you again after 54 years, I typed the letter — I was afraid my penmanship wasn’t going to meet your standards,” Cruitt says as Doyle laughs.
“John, what can I say — I’m just glad that we made a difference in each other’s life.”
10. Before Cruitt wrote the letter, he ________.
A. knew Doyle’s husband had passed away
B. believed Doyle was leading a happy life
C. considered it embarrassing to write to Doyle
D. was unsure whether Doyle could receive the letter
11. Doyle believed the letter ________.
A. was a gift coming late
B. came at just the right time
C. lifted her confidence greatly
D. served as a reminder of her husband
12. The underlined word “penmanship” probably means “________”.
A. pen repairer B. pen friend C. handwriting D. biography
D

第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Accents in English
Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. ____16____. So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents.
Thanks to the development of technology, various handy accesses are available for people to share and pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language. ____17____.
Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. ____18____, TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine’s TikTok takes simple phrases, such as “I’m hungry” or “the milk smells funny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK, including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish.
“____19____,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow and develop independently. Social standing and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group.
Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun. ____20____. Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more impressive.
A. In fact, all accents are worthy of pride
B. One’s birthplace can affect his accent
C. However, not all accents are worth learning
D. While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching
E. They can signal one’s living places, education and personality
F. On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents
G. A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language

Feeling depressed or lonely can age us faster than smoking, researchers say
Feeling unhappy, depressed or lonely could speed up the ageing processes more than smoking or even certain diseases, researchers have suggested. While everyone has an age based on their date of birth - “chronological age”, they also have ____36____ is known as a “biological age”, based on the ageing of the body’s functions, influenced by genetics, lifestyle and other factors. Studies have previously suggested the higher the biological age, the higher the risk of various diseases, and the risk of death.
Now researchers say they have created a digital model of ageing, ____37____(reveal) the importance of psychological health. “Your body and soul are connected, ____38____ is our main message,” said Fedor Galkin, a co-author of the study and lead scientist at the Hong Kong startup Deep Longevity.
“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings like hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights that ____39____ fast we age is significantly associated with our psychological state.
“Taking care of your psychological health is the greatest contributor that you can have to ____40____(slow) down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke ____41____(predict) to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers while living in urban areas reduces biological age ____42____ five months. Similarly, ____43____(marry) takes about seven months off one’s biological age.
But, he said, it is unlikely isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking, while the study only looked at the data that ____44____(collect) at one point in time. “The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future _____45_____(test)whether these predictions can be fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”

The real pain for Emma always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue (疲惫) that she minded but the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger for her age. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.” She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. You couldn’t mistake Kit. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms. Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, cartooning and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar on my face. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone who looked so different from the others be so confident? Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为120左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At lunchtime, Emma sat at her usual table when Kit walked over to her.

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.(今年,和往年一样,我迫不及待地希望冬天结束,我决定不再按惯例盯着日历看,而是看看自己能不能做些什么来加速春天的到来。)”可推知,作者焦急地盼望着春天的到来。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Here in Port St. Lucie on a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season’s official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling(起哄)the players. Here, spring was already happening.(在圣露西港,一个周二的下午,距离赛季正式开始还有几周的时间,兴高采烈的球迷们穿着轻便的衣服,喝着Modelo special,吃着花生,向球员起哄。在这里,春天已经来临。)”可知,作者认为圣露西港充满欢乐的气氛。故选B。

John Cruitt 62, spent decades tracking down his third-grade teacher.
He wanted to talk with Cecile Doyle about 1958 — the year his mother, who was seriously ill, passed away.
Her death came just days before Christmas. Cruitt had been expecting to go home from school and decorate the Christmas tree.
Doyle tells Cruitt at StoryCorps in Monroe, N. Y. “And you just don’t know how you’re going to go on without that person.”
When Cruitt returned to school, Doyle waited until all of the other children left the room at the end of the day, and told him that she was there if he needed her.
“Then you kissed me on the head,” Cruitt says. “And I felt that things really would be OK.”
“Well, Cruitt, I’m so glad that I could be there with you for that time,” says Doyle, 82.
Decades after his mother’s death, Cruitt began to think more and more of Doyle. He finally wrote a letter:
Dear Mrs. Doyle,
If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N. J., then I’m embarrassed, and you can neglect the letter. My name is John Cruitt, and I was in your third-grade class during the 1958-1959 school year. Two days before Christmas, my mother passed away, and you told me that you were there if I needed you. I hope life has been as kind to you as you were to me.
God bless you.
John Cruitt
Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time. Her husband, who passed away this August, was struggling with Parkinson’s disease.
“Well the funny thing is, when I finally wrote to you again after 54 years, I typed the letter — I was afraid my penmanship wasn’t going to meet your standards,” Cruitt says as Doyle laughs.
“John, what can I say — I’m just glad that we made a difference in each other’s life.”
10. Before Cruitt wrote the letter, he ________.
A. knew Doyle’s husband had passed away
B. believed Doyle was leading a happy life
C. considered it embarrassing to write to Doyle
D. was unsure whether Doyle could receive the letter
11. Doyle believed the letter ________.
A. was a gift coming late
B. came at just the right time
C. lifted her confidence greatly
D. served as a reminder of her husband
12. The underlined word “penmanship” probably means “________”.
A. pen repairer B. pen friend C. handwriting D. biography
【答案】10. D 11. B 12. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一位62岁老人约翰·克鲁特(John Cruitt)花了几十年时间寻找他三年级的老师。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据John Cruitt写信的第一句“If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N. J., then I’m embarrassed, and you can neglect the letter. (如果你不是在新泽西州科尔尼的爱默生学校教英语的Cecile Doyle,那么我很尴尬,你可以忽略这封信。) ”可推知John Cruitt写信的时候不确定Doyle是否能收到这封信,故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time. (Doyle说,他的这封信是在2月份收到的,来得正是时候。)”可知Doyle相信这封信来的正是时候,故选B。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“Well the funny thing is, when I finally wrote to you again after 54 years, I typed the letter (好吧,有趣的是,当我54年后终于再次给你写信时,我把信打了出来)”可推断出下文意思是“我担心我的书写达不到你的标准”所以penmanship意思是“书写”,和handwriting同义,故选C。
D

第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Accents in English
Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information. ____16____. So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents.
Thanks to the development of technology, various handy accesses are available for people to share and pick up accents. English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language. ____17____.
Valentine has been working in TV since the 1990s. She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. ____18____, TikTok is a medium to educate the masses. Valentine’s TikTok takes simple phrases, such as “I’m hungry” or “the milk smells funny”. Valentine then repeats these simple words in accents including German, Dutch, and New York. She also highlights the rich variety of dialects within the UK, including Yorkshire, Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, Welsh, and Northern Irish.
“____19____,” James Lantolf, a professor at Penn State, said. “Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects. Since there is no contact between regions, entire words and languages can grow and develop independently. Social standing and education also affect the language of an individual person.” It is thought that accents have psycho-social purposes, allowing individuals to identify oneself and others as part of a group.
Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun. ____20____. Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent. With that in mind, watching Valentine change accents at the drop of a hat is all the more impressive.
A. In fact, all accents are worthy of pride
B. One’s birthplace can affect his accent
C. However, not all accents are worth learning
D. While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching
E. They can signal one’s living places, education and personality
F. On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents
G. A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是口音往往可以反映出一个人的成长环境和教育背景,事实上英语也有很多种方言。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“Accents are fascinating and usually come with kinds of information.(口音很迷人,通常伴随着各种各样的信息。)”可知,口音反映出很多个人信息,结合空后的“So many people, especially actors, are interested in learning accents.(所以,很多人,尤其是演员,都对学习方言感兴趣。)”可知,很多人对口音感兴趣,由此可推断,此空应继续介绍方言的情况,E选项“They can signal one’s living places, education and personality(它们可以表明一个人的居住地点、教育程度和个性)”中的they指的是空前的“kinds of information”,指明这些具体信息包括living places,education和Personality等,且与空后的内容形成因果关系,符合逻辑。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“English actor and accent coach Sarah Valentine is an expert in teaching the tones which can change the English language.(英国演员兼口音教练萨拉·瓦伦丁是教授可以改变英语语言的音调的专家。)”可知,萨拉·瓦伦丁是教授可以改变英语语言的音调的专家,F选项“On TikTok, she gives examples of simple phrases repeated in over 20 accents.(在TikTok上,她给出了用20多种口音重复的简单短语的例子)”是对空前内容的进一步说明,其中的she指的是空前的“Sarah Valentine”。故选F项。
【18题详解】
分析空格后半句话可知,此空处应是带有连词的从句,或者是短语,根据空前的“She appears to have found success coaching other actors to speak in a variety of dialects. (她看起来已经成功地教授演员用各种各样的口音说话,)”可知,她好像是成功教授演员用各种口音说话,根据空后的“TikTok is a medium to educate the masses (TikTok是教育大众的一个媒介)”可知,TikTok是教育大众的一个媒介,D选项“While much work with actors is done in one-on-one coaching(与演员的很多工作都是一对一的指导)”为让步状语从句,且讲述的内容起到承上启下的作用。故选D项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知,此空应为本段的主题句,根据空后的James Lantolf的谈话“Isolated (偏僻的) areas, such as New Orleans, develop different dialects.(偏僻的地区,如新奥尔良,发展出不同的方言。)”可知,偏僻的地区发展出不同的方言,G选项“A region’s location has a direct influence on the development of a local language(一个地区的地理位置直接影响着当地语言的发展)”讲述的内容对后面的两句话能起到概括作用,其中的A region’s location与空后提到的New Orleans内容相关。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“Everyone has an accent. A dialect coach like Valentine can help one learn to speak differently, for an acting job or for fun.(每个人都有口音。像瓦伦丁这样的方言教练可以帮助一个人以不同的方式学习说话,无论是为了演戏还是为了娱乐。)”可知,无论是为了工作还是为了娱乐,像Valentine这样的教练都可以帮助人去学习,结合空后的“Learning a second language as an adult is difficult; for much the same reason, it’s tricky to change your accent.(作为成年人学习第二语言是困难的;出于同样的原因,改变你的口音也是很棘手的。)”可知,对于成年人来说,学第二语言和改变口音都是非常困难的,且其原因也是一样的,由此可知推断,此空处讲述的应是对口音的总结,A选项“In fact, all accents are worthy of pride(事实上,所有的口音都值得骄傲)”讲述的是所有的方言都是值得自豪的,承接空前的内容,而想要改变引以为豪的东西,必然是困难的,与空后的内容吻合。故选A项。

“We demonstrate that psychological factors, such as feeling unhappy or being lonely, add up to 1.65 years to one’s biological age,” they write. While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings like hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights that ____39____ fast we age is significantly associated with our psychological state.
“Taking care of your psychological health is the greatest contributor that you can have to ____40____(slow) down your pace of ageing,” he said. The team also report that people who smoke ____41____(predict) to be 15 months older than their non-smoking peers while living in urban areas reduces biological age ____42____ five months. Similarly, ____43____(marry) takes about seven months off one’s biological age.
But, he said, it is unlikely isolation and loneliness are truly worse risk factors for health than smoking, while the study only looked at the data that ____44____(collect) at one point in time. “The researchers did not follow up participants to show that those with psychological distress actually aged more rapidly,” he said. “It will be important in the future _____45_____(test)whether these predictions can be fulfilled by repeating testing over a number of years.”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明孤独抑郁比吸烟更容易让人衰老。
【36题详解】
考查连接词。句意:虽然每个人都有一个基于出生日期的年龄——“实足年龄”,但他们也有一个所谓的“生物年龄”,基于身体功能的衰老,受遗传、生活方式和其他因素的影响。have后接宾语从句,从句缺少主语,连接词为what。故填what。
【37题详解】

【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意:他说:“照顾好自己的心理健康是减缓衰老速度的最大因素。to表示“对于”为介词,后接动名词作宾语。故填slowing。

【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:研究小组还报告说,吸烟的人预计会比不吸烟的同龄人老15个月,而生活在城市地区的人会比不吸烟的同龄人少5个月的生理年龄。表示“减少了”,用短语reduce…by。故填by。

【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:在未来,通过多年的重复测试来测试这些预测是否能够实现将是很重要的。动词不定式作真正的主语,it作形式主语。故填to test。

【答案】Everyone admires beauty, and each person has his own understanding of beauty. As for me, what’s so fascinating about beauty is being kind and genuine because people with these qualities definitely gain respect as well as a good reputation at length.
Take the experience that happened last weekend for example. That afternoon, I went to the park with my parents. On the way, a young man who was wearing designer clothes rode a bike passing by, and was admired with appreciative eyes. However, he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly. Without stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away. We were extremely angry with that young man. The moment I wanted to help the lady, a girl in a plain dress ran forward at once, who picked up the lady. It’s the girl’s action that was worth highly praising.
Therefore, we cannot judge a person by his appearance. If you have a kind heart, you own real beauty. Hoping everyone of us can be a person with true beauty.

47. 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。
The real pain for Emma always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue (疲惫) that she minded but the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger for her age. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself, “One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.” She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. You couldn’t mistake Kit. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms. Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, cartooning and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar on my face. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone who looked so different from the others be so confident? Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.

【答案】参考答案
At lunchtime, Emma sat at her usual table when Kit walked over to her. “Mind if I join?” Kit asked politely, her bright smile lighting up the room. Emma was surprised, hardly believing such a confident girl would sit with her. As their conversation progressed, Emma was starting to share what was bothering her — her struggles with her lack of self-confidence. Kit listened attentively, saying words of encouragement now and then. Kit brought sunshine into her life.
On Friday, Emma’s feared PE class came. But this time, Kit was jogging with her. Emma wasn’t surprised to see the popular kids laughing at her as usual. “Take it easy. Just be yourself.” Kit said. Again, a wave of warmth washed over Emma. Relaxed and comfortable, she jogged together with Kit. This time Emma looked big not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物为线索。Emma体型很大,在慢跑的时候总是受到同学们的嘲笑,为此她非常不自信。后来班上来了一位叫Kit的女孩,她脸上有道疤,但她却非常自信,这让Emma很佩服。午餐时间Kit坐到Emma旁边,倾听Emma倾诉自己的苦恼,并鼓励Emma。后来在体育课上,Emma在Kit的鼓励下,勇敢地慢跑,她对自己有了自信。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“午餐时间,Emma坐在她平常坐的桌子旁,这是Kit走到Emma身边。”可知,第一段可以描写Kit和Emma坐在一起吃午饭,Emma倾诉自己的苦恼,Kit认真聆听并鼓励她。
②由续写第二段首句“星期五,Emma害怕的体育课来了。”可知,第二段可以描写Emma在Kit的鼓励下勇敢慢跑,增加了自信。
2. 段落续写:Kit主动坐到Emma身边——Emma分享自己的苦恼——Kit认真聆听并鼓励Emma——体育课上Kit和Emma一起慢跑——在Kit的鼓励下Emma增加了自信
