Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are the greatest children’s book ever written. The way it came into being is curious, an accident as interesting as the book itself. On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean (主任) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. Together they rowed along the river and had tea on the bank. As they moved along slowly over the river, Dodgson created the world of Wonderland. We like to think that he invented the story to make the young girls laugh, but more likely, he told the story in order to keep them quiet, to hold their attention, or to stop their many questions--or perhaps even to keep them from rocking the boat.
The story almost evaporated (蒸发) in thin air and would have but for the persistence of Dodgson's favourite of the three sisters, ten-year-old Alice Liddell. Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester (纠缠) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” Alice remembered that she “kept going on, going on at him” until he promised to satisfy her. For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings.
He gave the small green leather book to Alice as a Christmas present in 1835. It was then clearly kept in an obvious place, and visitors would sometimes pick it up and look at it, even read through it. One visitor told Mrs. Liddel to advise its author to publish it.
On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published.
4. What did the two Oxford teachers do with the three little girls on the afternoon in 1832?
A. They prevented an accident. B. They built a rocking boat.
C. They had a riverside picnic. D. They made a tea farm trip.
5 What did Alice Liddell do the next day after the boat trip?
A. She retold the story to others.
B. She reminded Dodgson of the picnic.
C. She remembered the beauty of the journey.
D. She begged Dodgson to write down the story.
6. How did Charles Dodgson respond to Alice in about 1835?
A. He sent Alice a birthday present.
B. He drew some paintings for Alice.
C. He showed the green leather book to visitors.
D. He delivered a completed manuscript to Alice.
7 What is the passage mainly about?
A. How Alice books came into being.
B. How Alice books interest children.
C. How long Alice books survived.
D. How hard it was to write Alice books.

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.
The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it.
An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
8. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading?
A. To make online reading more interesting.
B. To figure out several online reading problems.
C. To improve online reading speed and understanding.
D To study the effects of online reading on the brain.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The effect of current online reading.
B. The creation story of Bionic Reading.
C The advantages of Bionic Reading.
D. The principle of Bionic Reading.
10. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph?
A. It only helps with foreign languages.
B. Its effect varies among different individuals.
C. It is better than traditional reading methods.
D. Research proves it works for everyone.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit
B. A New System Improves Online Reading
C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges
D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits

Last week a study was published showing that people with bowel cancer (肠癌) who drink coffee — quite a lot of coffee, two to four cups a day — were less likely to suffer a return of the disease. Experts have said that if the results hold in further studies, coffee could be prescribed (开处方) to cancer patients on the NHS (National Health Service) . That coffee does have an effect on human function is no doubt — but whether that impact is beneficial or harmful has been controversial (有争议的) since its beginning in the mid-15th century.
The native peoples of the forests of Kaffa in south-west Ethiopia searched for berries (浆果) from wild coffee plants that were shipped across the Red Sea to prepare the decoction (煮出的汁) known as qahwa, which was used to reduce their desire for sleep. Once mainstream Islamic courts said coffee was not poisonous, consumption became widespread among the Muslim populations in the Middle East and the Ottoman empire.
First regarded as a form of medicine, Turkish traders introduced coffee to Venice, where it was prescribed for digestive disorders. It was served in small, cold potions. London’s first coffee houses appeared in the 1650s, attracting customers with the advertised health benefits of the new beverage. However, not all were convinced. The 1674 Women’s Petition Against Coffee declared that too much coffee consumption weakened men and made them unproductive.
Since the 1960s, mass surveys of coffee drinkers have shown different results of its impact. In 1991 the World Health Organization listed coffee as a possible cause of cancer, but in 2016 this conclusion was reversed (反转) as more studies have shown a larger number of positive outcomes being associated with coffee drinking. Following centuries on the defensive (处于守势), it may be time for coffee professionals to dust down those handbills and channel their inner Pasqua Rosée.
12. What was the main finding of the recent study mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Coffee has no impact on human function.
B. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of bowel cancer.
C. People with bowel cancer should avoid drinking coffee.
D. Coffee has no effect on the return of bowel cancer.
13. Why does the writer mention the history of coffee consumption?
A. To highlight the cultural significance of coffee in different regions.
B. To emphasize the historical controversy around coffee’s health effects.
C. To show coffee’s long-standing popularity and usage.
D. To show the link between coffee’s origins and its medical applications.
14. Which is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. The Dark Side of Coffee: A Hidden Cancer Risk
B. The Bitter Drink: Coffee’s Secret in Being Popular
C. Uncovering the Truth: Coffee’s Cancer-Fighting History
D. Surprising History of Coffee: From Controversial Drink to Potential Cancer Cure
15. Which section of the journal might this article belong to?
A. Health & fitness. B. Home & garden.
C. History & Culture. D. Finance & investment.

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 prize may go to the fastest, but sometimes, the first one to cross the finish line isn’t the only winner. Nowhere was that more true than at a recent 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana.
There were two players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, who hadn’t known each other before. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-old student from Western Boone High School, has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years. Axel Aleman, who is from Sheridan High School, is a friendly and generous person and he is always more concerned about others than himself. Axel once said to his classmates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. As a teen athlete, the choice is extremely clear.”
The game went very well at first. However, with less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange slipped, twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt something was wrong with my ankle.”
Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him. Generally, winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman, But at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Axel. “I was able to see he was in a lot of pain,” Axel recalled. “As I got closer to him, he narrowly fell down. I asked if he was all right. He said he felt like something broken in his leg.”
Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmen, Axel refused to leave Levi behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right thing to do. That mattered more than the race. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. I wanted to help him finish the match.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Axel gained a lot from the incident.

Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are the greatest children’s book ever written. The way it came into being is curious, an accident as interesting as the book itself. On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean (主任) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. Together they rowed along the river and had tea on the bank. As they moved along slowly over the river, Dodgson created the world of Wonderland. We like to think that he invented the story to make the young girls laugh, but more likely, he told the story in order to keep them quiet, to hold their attention, or to stop their many questions--or perhaps even to keep them from rocking the boat.
The story almost evaporated (蒸发) in thin air and would have but for the persistence of Dodgson's favourite of the three sisters, ten-year-old Alice Liddell. Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester (纠缠) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” Alice remembered that she “kept going on, going on at him” until he promised to satisfy her. For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings.
He gave the small green leather book to Alice as a Christmas present in 1835. It was then clearly kept in an obvious place, and visitors would sometimes pick it up and look at it, even read through it. One visitor told Mrs. Liddel to advise its author to publish it.
On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published.
4. What did the two Oxford teachers do with the three little girls on the afternoon in 1832?
A. They prevented an accident. B. They built a rocking boat.
C. They had a riverside picnic. D. They made a tea farm trip.
5. What did Alice Liddell do the next day after the boat trip?
A. She retold the story to others.
B. She reminded Dodgson of the picnic.
C. She remembered the beauty of the journey.
D. She begged Dodgson to write down the story.
6. How did Charles Dodgson respond to Alice in about 1835?
A. He sent Alice a birthday present.
B. He drew some paintings for Alice.
C. He showed the green leather book to visitors.
D. He delivered a completed manuscript to Alice.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How Alice books came into being.

C. How long Alice books survived.
D. How hard it was to write Alice books.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A

【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“On a “golden afternoon” in 1832, a shy Oxford teacher Charles Dodgson took the three little daughters of his college dean ( 主任 ) on a boat trip on the river with another Oxford teacher. (1832年的一个“金色下午”,害羞的牛津大学教师查尔斯·道奇森带着他学院院长的三个小女儿与另一位牛津大学教师一同乘船沿河游览。)”可知,两位牛津大学的教师与三个小女孩在1832年的下午进行了一次河边的野餐活动。选项C“他们进行了一次河边野餐。”符合题意。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。从第二段中的“Many years after the river picnic, when Alice was an old woman, she remembered that the story that Dodgson told on that particular river journey “must have been better than usual” because “on the next day I started to pester( 纠缠 ) him to write down the story for me which I had never done before.” (多年后,当爱丽丝已经是一位老妇人时,她回忆起道奇森在那次特别的河上旅行中讲述的故事“一定比平时更好”,因为“第二天我开始纠缠他为我写下这个故事,这是以前从未做过的。)”可知,爱丽丝·利德尔在那次乘船旅行后的第二天就开始缠着道奇森为她写下那个故事。D项“她请求道奇森写下那个故事。”符合题意。故选D项。
6题详解】
细节理解题。从第二段的内容“For one reason or another, however, it took him almost two and a half years to deliver to his young friend the completed manuscript (手稿), illustrated with his own drawings. (然而,由于种种原因,他花了将近两年半的时间才向他的年轻朋友交付完成的手稿,手稿配以他自己的插图。)”可知,故事发生在1832年,两年半后,即1835年,所以查尔斯·道奇森大约在1835年回应了爱丽丝的请求,向她交付了一份完成的手稿。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。整篇文章讲述了《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》这本儿童书籍的诞生过程,包括查尔斯·道奇森在一次乘船旅行中创作故事的情景,以及爱丽丝·利德尔坚持不懈地请求他写下这个故事,最终导致手稿的完成和出版。从文章的最后一段“On May 9, 1863, Dodgson got a letter from a publisher announcing that they would get the book published. (1863年5月9日,Dodgson收到出版商的一封信,宣布他们将出版这本书。)”可以看出全文是关于一本书的出版过程的。选项A(爱丽丝系列书籍是如何诞生的)符合题意。故选A项。

Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time staring at screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as tired eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading developed by a Swiss company, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of the content.
The reading system improves the reading process by guiding the eyes through the text with artificial fixation points. In short, some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体的). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
The company discovered the system by accident. They were working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized they could read it if they sectioned it off. They worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and are still working to adjust it.
An early study was conducted but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading helps them focus and understand what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to the regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than the regular text. The best way to know if Bionic Reading helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
8. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading?
A. To make online reading more interesting.
B. To figure out several online reading problems.
C. To improve online reading speed and understanding.
D. To study the effects of online reading on the brain.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The effect of current online reading.
B. The creation story of Bionic Reading.
C. The advantages of Bionic Reading.
D. The principle of Bionic Reading.
10. What can we infer about Bionic Reading from the last paragraph?
A. It only helps with foreign languages.
B. Its effect varies among different individuals.
C. It is better than traditional reading methods.
D. Research proves it works for everyone.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Online Reading Is Of Great Benefit
B. A New System Improves Online Reading
C. Traditional Reading Faces New Challenges
D. Bionic Reading Changes Our Reading Habits
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B

Last week a study was published showing that people with bowel cancer (肠癌) who drink coffee — quite a lot of coffee, two to four cups a day — were less likely to suffer a return of the disease. Experts have said that if the results hold in further studies, coffee could be prescribed (开处方) to cancer patients on the NHS (National Health Service) . That coffee does have an effect on human function is no doubt — but whether that impact is beneficial or harmful has been controversial (有争议的) since its beginning in the mid-15th century.
The native peoples of the forests of Kaffa in south-west Ethiopia searched for berries (浆果) from wild coffee plants that were shipped across the Red Sea to prepare the decoction (煮出的汁) known as qahwa, which was used to reduce their desire for sleep. Once mainstream Islamic courts said coffee was not poisonous, consumption became widespread among the Muslim populations in the Middle East and the Ottoman empire.
First regarded as a form of medicine, Turkish traders introduced coffee to Venice, where it was prescribed for digestive disorders. It was served in small, cold potions. London’s first coffee houses appeared in the 1650s, attracting customers with the advertised health benefits of the new beverage. However, not all were convinced. The 1674 Women’s Petition Against Coffee declared that too much coffee consumption weakened men and made them unproductive.
Since the 1960s, mass surveys of coffee drinkers have shown different results of its impact. In 1991 the World Health Organization listed coffee as a possible cause of cancer, but in 2016 this conclusion was reversed (反转) as more studies have shown a larger number of positive outcomes being associated with coffee drinking. Following centuries on the defensive (处于守势), it may be time for coffee professionals to dust down those handbills and channel their inner Pasqua Rosée.
12. What was the main finding of the recent study mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Coffee has no impact on human function.
B. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of bowel cancer.
C. People with bowel cancer should avoid drinking coffee.
D. Coffee has no effect on the return of bowel cancer.
13. Why does the writer mention the history of coffee consumption?
A. To highlight the cultural significance of coffee in different regions.
B. To emphasize the historical controversy around coffee’s health effects.
C. To show coffee’s long-standing popularity and usage.
D. To show the link between coffee’s origins and its medical applications.
14. Which is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. The Dark Side of Coffee: A Hidden Cancer Risk
B. The Bitter Drink: Coffee’s Secret in Being Popular
C. Uncovering the Truth: Coffee’s Cancer-Fighting History
D Surprising History of Coffee: From Controversial Drink to Potential Cancer Cure
15. Which section of the journal might this article belong to?
A. Health & fitness. B. Home & garden.
C History & Culture. D. Finance & investment.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。由在第二段“The native peoples of the forests of Kaffa in south-west Ethiopia searched for berries (浆果) from wild coffee plants that were shipped across the Red Sea to prepare the decoction (煮出的汁) known as qahwa, which was used to reduce their desire for sleep. Once mainstream Islamic courts said coffee was not poisonous, consumption became widespread among the Muslim populations in the Middle East and the Ottoman empire. (埃塞俄比亚西南部Kaffa森林的土著居民从野生咖啡植物中寻找浆果,这些浆果被运到红海对岸,用来制作被称为qahwa的汤剂,用来减少他们的睡眠欲望。一旦主流伊斯兰法庭宣布咖啡无毒,咖啡的消费就在中东和奥斯曼帝国的穆斯林人群中广泛流行起来。)”可知,第二段介绍了咖啡的历史是为了强调历史上围绕咖啡健康影响的持续争议。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“Last week a study was published showing that people with bowel cancer (肠癌) who drink coffee—quite a lot of coffee, two to four cups a day—were less likely to suffer a return of the disease. Experts have said that if the results hold in further studies, coffee could be prescribed (开处方) to cancer patients on the NHS (National Health Service) . That coffee does have an effect on human function is no doubt—but whether that impact is beneficial or harmful has been controversial (有争议的) since its beginning in the mid-15th century. (上周发表的一项研究表明,患有肠癌的人喝咖啡——相当多的咖啡,一天两到四杯——复发的可能性更小。专家表示,如果进一步的研究结果成立,咖啡可能会被开给NHS(国民健康服务)的癌症患者。咖啡确实对人体机能有影响,这是毫无疑问的,但这种影响是有益的还是有害的,从15世纪中期开始就一直存在争议。)”和最后一段“Since the 1960s, mass surveys of coffee drinkers have shown different results of its impact. In 1991 the World Health Organization listed coffee as a possible cause of cancer, but in 2016 this conclusion was reversed (反转) as more studies have shown a larger number of positive outcomes being associated with coffee drinking. Following centuries on the defensive (处于守势), it may be time for coffee professionals to dust down those handbills and channel their inner Pasqua Rosée. (自20世纪60年代以来,对咖啡饮用者的大规模调查显示了其影响的不同结果。1991年,世界卫生组织将咖啡列为可能导致癌症的原因之一,但在2016年,这一结论被推翻了,因为越来越多的研究表明,喝咖啡会产生更多的积极结果。经过几个世纪的防御,也许是时候让咖啡专业人士掸去那些传单上的灰尘,引导他们内心的Pasqua Rosée了。)”可知,文章主要讨论了咖啡从被质疑可能致癌到被研究发现可能有助于预防肠癌复发的转变过程,穿插了咖啡的历史争议与应用。因此,最合适的标题是“Surprising History of Coffee: From Controversial Drink to Potential Cancer Cure (咖啡的惊人历史:从有争议的饮料到潜在的癌症治疗)”。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述中国国家歌剧院在成立70周年之际于7月6日在北京举行音乐会。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:7月6日在北京中国国家大剧院举行的音乐会标志着该公司成立70周年,拉开了该公司新剧场演出季的序幕。根据句子结构可知空白处应填入形容词性物主代词its修饰名词season,作定语,故填its。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:包括歌手姚红和小提琴家刘云志在内的中国顶尖音乐家演奏了中西歌剧中的著名独唱曲。根据下文“including singer Yao Hong as well as violinist Liu Yunzhi( 包括歌手姚红和小提琴家刘云志)”可知,应填入可数名词musician的复数形式,故填musicians。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:包括93岁的郑小瑛在内的中国指挥家与中国国家大剧院交响乐团、合唱团和独奏家一起在开幕音乐会上演出。分析句子结构可知谓语动词perform与主语Chinese conductors之间是主动关系,再根据上文时间状语“on July 6(在7月6日)”可判断动作发生在过去,应使用一般过去时,故填performed。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。根据空白处后面的名词opening concert可知此处特指音乐会的开幕式,应填入定冠词the,故填the。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国国家大剧院成立于1952年,从7月6日起举办了一系列演出。首字母大写,此处应使用非谓语动词作状语,又因为逻辑主语China National Opera House与found之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应填入过去分词Founded。故填Founded。

考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,该公司已经制作了100多部歌剧,并进行了世界巡演。produce谓语动词,根据时间状语so far判断该句表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响,应用现在完成时,主语The company为单数第三人称,故填has produced。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在此期间,将上演经典的西方和中国原创歌剧以及音乐会,展示公司的历史,庆祝过去70年的成就。分析句子结构可知空白处应填入非谓语动词作伴随状语,且celebrate和逻辑主语classic Western and original Chinese operas, as well as concerts之间是主动关系,应填入现在分词形式celebrating。故填celebrating。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:新剧院建设始于2015年。根据上文“The construction(建设)”以及下文“the new theater(新剧院)”可知此处说的是新剧院的建设,前后为所属关系,应使用介词of,故填of。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这座位于市中心的新剧院有一个15平方米的管弦乐队坑,一楼到三楼约有1000个座位,四楼到六楼阳台区有49个包厢。分析句子结构可知这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是The new theater,指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,使用关系代词which引导定语从句,故填which。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:中国文化元素,如中国凤凰,被广泛地运用于剧院的设计之中。分析句子结构可知空白处应填入副词widely作状语修饰动词used,故填widely。

第二节(满分25分)
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 prize may go to the fastest, but sometimes, the first one to cross the finish line isn’t the only winner. Nowhere was that more true than at a recent 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville, Indiana.
There were two players in the match: Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman, who hadn’t known each other before. Levi LaGrange, an 18-year-old student from Western Boone High School, has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years. Axel Aleman, who is from Sheridan High School, is a friendly and generous person and he is always more concerned about others than himself. Axel once said to his classmates, “When you are standing at a crossroad, you can choose the path of self-interest, or you can go the extra mile for someone in need. As a teen athlete, the choice is extremely clear.”
The game went very well at first. However, with less than half a mile to go, Levi LaGrange slipped, twisting his ankle. He said, “I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle. I felt something was wrong with my ankle.”
Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him. Generally, winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman, But at that moment, the race became a secondary concern for Axel. “I was able to see he was in a lot of pain,” Axel recalled. “As I got closer to him, he narrowly fell down. I asked if he was all right. He said he felt like something broken in his leg.”
Rather than running ahead, in an extraordinary act of true sportsmen, Axel refused to leave Levi behind. “As soon as I saw him, I knew I had to do something,” Axel said. “It just seemed like the right thing to do. That mattered more than the race. I told him I wasn’t going to leave. I wanted to help him finish the match.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Axel gained a lot from the incident.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Minutes later, Axel walked closer to Levi. Axel picked Levi up and encouraged him to hold on to the end. Placing an encouraging hand at his competitor’s back, Axel remained with Levi for the remainder of the race. They advanced side by side, with eyes looking at the finish line. They even sang a song to cheer each other up. Eventually, the two crossed the finish line within seconds of one another. Axel even made sure Levi went first. To their surprise, the event organizer announced that they were both winners together.
Axel gained a lot from the incident. In the following days, Axel received lots of positive comments now and then. While he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness, for him, the best harvest was the friendship with Levi. We might not always recognize when life hands us an opportunity to help others, but when it really does, we should take action. Axel said, “I would just really hope people do the right thing.” Yes, we should do that, not for others, but for ourselves.
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了两个互不相识的运动员一起参加一场5千米田径邀请赛,就在快到终点时,Levi不小心扭伤了脚踝,无法继续比赛;而Axel并没有越过他直接跑向终点,而是停下来扶着他一起先后越过终点线,并意外地得到了并列第一的荣誉。通过这次比赛,Axel不仅得到了好的成绩和人们的赞扬,更重要的是收获了与Levi的友谊。正如他自己认为的:做正确的事情比比赛本身更加重要。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几分钟后,Axel向Levi走得更近了些。”可知,第一段可描写Axel没有越过Levi继续跑,而是停下来帮助他,与他一起跑向终点的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“Axel从这次事情中收获了很多。”可知,第二段可描写Axel不仅取得了好成绩,还收获了人们的赞扬和Levi的友谊。
2.续写线索:走近--帮助--一起走向终点--并列第一--得到称赞--收获友谊--点明主题
3.词汇激活
① 鼓励、激励:encourage→inspire
② 前进:advance→move forward
③ 比赛:match→game→race
④ 最终、终于:eventually→finally
⑤ 偶尔、不时:now and then→from time to time/sometimes
【点睛】[高分句型1] Placing an encouraging hand at his competitor’s back, Axel remained with Levi for the remainder of the race. (运用了现在分词形式placing在句首作伴随状语)
[高分句型2] While he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness, for him, the best harvest was the friendship with Levi. (运用了以while引导的让步状语从句)
[高分句型3] We might not always recognize when life hands us an opportunity to help others, but when it really does, we should take action.(运用了以but连接的表转折意义的并列句;及以when引导的时间状语从句)
