B Sharanya, 14, an eighth grader from Challenger School, built a solar-powered trash-collecting robot, which will play a vital role in taking care of the environment. Volunteering in local city cleanups, Sharanya was always saddened to see tons of rubbish still out there after hours’ hard work. “People do have very limited time and resources, but robots don’t. They’ll collect double the amount and work for longer hours,” Sharanya says. “I learned from a science journal that solar panels moving to always face the sun collect more energy than stationary ones. So I determined to design a trash-collecting robot powered by a sun-tracking solar panel.” However, Sharanya had no experience in robotics, so it was a completely new experience. She firmly believed there’s no instant way to success and that it’s just a process of trial and error. Throughout the project, she studied operating instructions repeatedly and had to use tons of power tools and cut pieces of metal to certain lengths. Her dad would come to her rescue whenever she accidentally burned a wire. “It’s difficult to follow the scientific method, but sticking to this and changing just one variable at a time gets you the best results,” Sharanya says. Sharanya’s robot has trash and recycling bins and moves with motorized wheels. The device’s front and back have object-detecting sensors. One end of the robot. has a rubbish-collecting moveable arm with a pan to gather objects and drop them into the trash or recycling bins. This pan also contains a metal-detecting sensor to sort metal recyclables into the appropriate place. A solar panel sits at the robot's other end; extended into the air. Attached to it is a light-tracking device that follows the sun, enabling the solar panel to move accordingly. In tests, the sun-tracking solar panel generated more power than a stationary one over six hours. And the robot correctly identified an object every time it was presented. It picked up items and accurately classified aluminum cans as recyclables 80 percent of the time. Sharanya is confident that the robot will soon sort plastic and glass by striking the items and detecting the difference in their frequencies. 4. What led Sharanya to intend a sun-tracking solari panel for, the robot? A. Her survey findings. B. The knowledge she acquired. C. Her social experiences. D. The extra courses she attended. 5. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning Sharanya? A. What contributed to her success. B. Why she didn’t fear failure. C. Whether goals counted in her work. D. How she was financially supported. 6. What may be the function of the object-detecting sensors? A. To identify colors. B. To locate metal materials. C. To discover garbage. D. To analyze moving routes. 7. What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph? A. The robot needs retesting. B. The robot reached no desired effect. C. The robot enjoys wide popularity. D. The robot faces a promising prospect. C From the beloved New York Times opinion writer Margaret Renkl comes a "howling (咆哮) love letter to the world": an insightful book that tracks the passing of seasons. In The Comfort of Crows (乌鸦), Margaret Renkl presents fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard in the state of Tennessee over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons — from a crow spied on an icy New Year's Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the unwillingly departing bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest they used in spring — what develops is a picture of joy and sorrow: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and sorrow over winters that end too soon and dramatically decreasing songbird population. Renkl acknowledges her desperation at the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to stand by. "The very least I owe my wild neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to make up for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf about all the ways I can't," she writes. Renkl makes good on that commitment. She ensures fallen leaves in her yard are left where they were so that insects overwinter and birds can dine there. She also creates a shelter for frogs in the form of a large tank filled with water and frog-friendly plants. With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human-caused global warming that is changing our environment and harming other species. Renkl sees, this harm primarily through absences. For two decades,; Renkl hasn't seen a turtle in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well. The phenomenon of ecological damage is alarmingly apparent, To help, we humans do require fuel to restore our destroyed spirit. Fortunately, you can find that in Renkl's book. Find it as well in the informative, original full-color illustrations, all done by the author's brother Billy Renkl. The animals and plants so valued by Renkl need us now more than ever. 8. What season does the content of the book start with? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Fall. D. Winter. 9. What can we learn about Renkl from paragraph 3 and 4? A. She's to blame for environmental issues. B. She shows her love for animals by action. C. The last thing she'll do is sympathize with animals. D. Her inability to preserve nature discouraged her from attempts. 10. How did Renkl find the harm of global warming to other species? A. By hearsay. B. By official document. C. By journal. D. By personal observation 11. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to? A The book. B. Destroyed spirit. C. The fuel. D. Ecological damage. D Your mind’s being drawn away while you’re engaging in enjoyable activities can reduce satisfaction and result in over-consuming everyday pleasures later, according to new research. The study looked at how distraction affects “hedonic consumption” — pleasure-related consumption like buying goods or experiencing cheerful things because they make us feel good and not necessarily because we need them. When distracted while doing a pleasant activity, people are likely to experience less enjoyment from it than if they were fully focused. That may lead to dissatisfaction and drive more consumption to compensate for that shortfall. The researchers invited 122 participants who reported on how much they expected to enjoy their lunch before eating it and were then asked to eat their lunch under one of three conditions: no distraction, mild distraction (watching a video), and high distraction (playing a video game). After lunch, participants reported on their actual enjoyment, satisfaction, desire for further satisfaction and amount consumed. They also reported on their snacking later in the day. Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, which was associated with increased snacking afterward and a more general desire for further satisfaction. The researchers also followed 220 participants for weeks to investigate this broader effect beyond food. As with the food-based experiment, they found when people were distracted during consumption, they were likely to enjoy a product less than they hoped, feel less satisfied and need further satisfaction. “Overconsumption often results due to a lack of self-control,” said lead author Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to compensate by consuming more.” Murphy and his team plan to conduct more research to confirm the existence of a hedonic compensation effect. If it’s confirmed, they intend to apply interventions that could help people pay more attention to their consumption experiences in an effort to lower the likelihood of overconsumption. “By understanding the key drivers of hedonic overconsumption, we can develop strategies to prevent its occurrence,” said Murphy. 12. What do the underlined words“compensate for” mean in paragraph 2? A. Add to. B. Look into. C. Make up for. D. Put up with. 13. Participants who are eating but attracted to video games tend to ______ soon. A. have refreshments B. purchase luxuries C. watch more videos D. hang about with partners 14. What may be the newly found driver of overconsumption according to Murphy? A. Divided attention. B. Addiction to games. C. Others’interventions. D. Lack of self-discipline. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?! A. There exist data errors in the study. B. The study outcomes deserve further proof. C. Overconsumption will be rooted out in the near future. D. Murpby’s solutions to overconsumption are conventional. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever sat in front of a blank canvas (画布), just out of ideas and feeling completely uninspired? ____16____ The good news is that as an artist you can develop that ability.

Shall we go to the newly completed basketball court to play basketball?” Jason asked his best friend excitedly. Instead of an enthusiastic reply, Gary looked away, stammering, “I can’t. I... I’ve joined a reading club.” His voice was so soft that Jason could barely catch his words. “To improve your reading? All right. We can go another time then,” Jason said reassuringly (安慰), confused as he was. As far as he knew, Gary had never declined any basketball-related activities. How come this was the case? Shaking his head skeptically, Jason got on his bike, heading for the destination alone. For the next few days Gary stayed away from Jason in case he asked more questions. Unwilling to leave his best friend concerned about him, Gary wasn’t ready to tell Jason the truth that he had not joined a reading club but taken on a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant. A few days before, his father had a severe car accident and underwent a major operation. His condition required frequent visits to the hospital, which would contribute to huge medical expenses. The sudden misfortune threw the family into helplessness. His mother had to look after his father. Feeling it his responsibility to support the family at the crucial period, he landed a part-time job, which he thought was the best solution to easing his family’s financial stress. The moment the dismissal bell rang, Gary rushed out of the school gate to get ready for his shift at the fast-food restaurant. He didn’t want to be late. Latecomers would have their extra allowance deducted (扣除). Customers streaming into the restaurant, Gary quickly took his position behind the counter as a teenager started placing his order. Gary’s fingers moved rapidly to key in the items ordered. The teenager moved aside to wait for his order after making payment. “Next order, please,” Gary said and looked up, only to find he was face to face with none other than Jason. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Gary?

Throughout the project, she studied operating instructions repeatedly and had to use tons of power tools and cut pieces of metal to certain lengths. Her dad would come to her rescue whenever she accidentally burned a wire. “It’s difficult to follow the scientific method, but sticking to this and changing just one variable at a time gets you the best results,” Sharanya says. Sharanya’s robot has trash and recycling bins and moves with motorized wheels. The device’s front and back have object-detecting sensors. One end of the robot. has a rubbish-collecting moveable arm with a pan to gather objects and drop them into the trash or recycling bins. This pan also contains a metal-detecting sensor to sort metal recyclables into the appropriate place. A solar panel sits at the robot's other end; extended into the air. Attached to it is a light-tracking device that follows the sun, enabling the solar panel to move accordingly. In tests, the sun-tracking solar panel generated more power than a stationary one over six hours. And the robot correctly identified an object every time it was presented. It picked up items and accurately classified aluminum cans as recyclables 80 percent of the time. Sharanya is confident that the robot will soon sort plastic and glass by striking the items and detecting the difference in their frequencies. 4.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述14岁的Sharanya建造了一个太阳能垃圾收集机器人，该机器人将在保护环境方面发挥至关重要的作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“I learned from a science journal that solar panels moving to always face the sun collect more energy than stationary ones. So I determined to design a trash-collecting robot powered by a sun-tracking solar panel. (我从一本科学杂志上了解到，移动到始终面向太阳的太阳能电池板比固定的太阳能电池会收集更多的能量。因此，我决定设计一个由太阳能电池板驱动的垃圾收集机器人。)”可知，Sharanya在一本科学杂志上了解的知识使她打算为机器人设计一个阳光追踪太阳能电池板。故选B项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“However, Sharanya had no experience in robotics, so it was a completely new experience. She firmly believed there’s no instant way to success and that it’s just a process of trial and error. Throughout the project, she studied operating instructions repeatedly and had to use tons of power tools and cut pieces of metal to certain lengths. Her dad would come to her rescue whenever she accidentally burned a wire. ‘It’s difficult to follow the scientific method, but sticking to this and changing just one variable at a time gets you the best results,’ Sharanya says. (然而，Sharanya没有机器人方面的经验，所以这是一种全新的体验。她坚信没有立竿见影的成功之路，这只是一个试错的过程。在整个项目中，她反复学习操作说明，必须使用成吨的电动工具，并将金属片切割到一定长度。每当她不小心烧到电线时，她的父亲都会来救她。Sharanya说，‘遵循科学方法很困难，但坚持这一点，一次只改变一个变量，会得到最好的结果。’)”可知，这段主要讲Sharanya不断地坚持和尝试导致了她的成功。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“This pan also contains a metal-detecting sensor to sort metal recyclables into the appropriate place. (这个盘状器还包含一个金属检测传感器，用于将金属可回收物分类到合适的位置。)”以及“One end of the robot has a rubbish-collecting moveable arm with a pan to gather objects and drop them into the trash or recycling bins. (机器人的一端有一个垃圾收集可移动臂，臂上有一个盘状器，用来收集物体并将其放入垃圾箱或回收箱。)”可知，metal-detecting sensor 是用来发现收集金属，而object-detecting sensors应该是用来发现收集垃圾这样的物件。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In tests, the sun-tracking solar panel generated more power than a stationary one over six hours. And the robot correctly identified an object every time it was presented. It picked up items and accurately classified aluminum cans as recyclables 80 percent of the time. Sharanya is confident that the robot will soon sort plastic and glass by striking the items and detecting the difference in their frequencies. (在测试中，太阳追踪太阳能电池板在六个小时内产生的电力比静止的太阳能电池板多。每次出现物体时，机器人都能正确地识别出物体。它在80%的时间里收集物品并准确地将铝罐归类为可回收物。Sharanya相信，机器人很快就会通过敲击物品并检测它们的频率差异来对塑料和玻璃进行分类。)”可知，作者最后一段想说明该机器人前景广阔。故选D项。 C From the beloved New York Times opinion writer Margaret Renkl comes a "howling (咆哮) love letter to the world": an insightful book that tracks the passing of seasons. In The Comfort of Crows (乌鸦), Margaret Renkl presents fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard in the state of Tennessee over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons — from a crow spied on an icy New Year's Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the unwillingly departing bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest they used in spring — what develops is a picture of joy and sorrow: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and sorrow over winters that end too soon and dramatically decreasing songbird population. Renkl acknowledges her desperation at the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to stand by. "The very least I owe my wild neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to make up for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf about all the ways I can't," she writes. Renkl makes good on that commitment. She ensures fallen leaves in her yard are left where they were so that insects overwinter and birds can dine there. She also creates a shelter for frogs in the form of a large tank filled with water and frog-friendly plants. With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human-caused global warming that is changing our environment and harming other species. Renkl sees, this harm primarily through absences. For two decades,; Renkl hasn't seen a turtle in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well. The phenomenon of ecological damage is alarmingly apparent, To help, we humans do require fuel to restore our destroyed spirit. Fortunately, you can find that in Renkl's book. Find it as well in the informative, original full-color illustrations, all done by the author's brother Billy Renkl. The animals and plants so valued by Renkl need us now more than ever. 8. What season does the content of the book start with? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Fall. D. Winter. 9. What can we learn about Renkl from paragraph 3 and 4? A. She's to blame for environmental issues. B. She shows her love for animals by action. C. The last thing she'll do is sympathize with animals. D. Her inability to preserve nature discouraged her from attempts. 10. How did Renkl find the harm of global warming to other species? A. By hearsay. B. By official document. C. By journal. D. By personal observation 11. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to? A. The book. B. Destroyed spirit. C. The fuel. D. Ecological damage. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Margaret Renkl的新书《The Comfort of Crows》，这本书通过观察田纳西州后院的生物和植物，展现了自然界中的喜悦和悲伤，以及人类活动对自然界的破坏。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on an icy New Year's Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the unwillingly departing bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest they used in spring—what develops is a picture of joy and sorrow: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and sorrow over winters that end too soon and dramatically decreasing songbird population. (随着我们度过四季——从新年第一天在冰天雪地里窥视到的乌鸦，它的机智和社群意识为这一年设定了主题，到12月不愿离去的蓝鸟，重访它们春天使用的巢穴——展现的是一幅喜悦和悲伤的画面：在自然界持续的乐趣中的喜悦，以及对冬天结束得太快和鸣禽数量急剧减少的悲伤。)”可知，书中的内容从冬季开始，故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Renkl acknowledges her desperation at the human-caused crises the natural world faces, and her determination not to stand by. "The very least I owe my wild neighbors is a willingness to witness their struggle, to make up for their losses in every way I can, and to speak on their behalf about all the ways I can't," she writes. (Renkl承认她对人类造成的自然界危机感到绝望，她决心不再袖手旁观。“我欠我的野生邻居的，至少是一种愿意见证他们的挣扎，尽我所能弥补他们的损失，并代表他们说出我无法做到的一切，”她写道。)”以及第四段“Renkl makes good on that commitment. She ensures fallen leaves in her yard are left where they were so that insects overwinter and birds can dine there. She also creates a shelter for frogs in the form of a large tank filled with water and frog-friendly plants. (Renkl履行了那个承诺。她确保院子里的落叶留在原地，以便昆虫过冬，鸟儿可以在那里觅食。她还为青蛙创造了一个庇护所，形式是一个装满水和青蛙友好植物的大水箱。)”可知，Renkl通过实际行动表达了对动物的爱，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With these steps, Renkl refuses to give up in the face of human-caused global warming that is changing our environment and harming other species. Renkl sees, this harm primarily through absences. For two decades,; Renkl hasn't seen a turtle in her yard, and only one grasshopper has appeared in each of the last two years. Fewer birds come as well. (通过这些步骤，Renkl在面对人类造成的全球变暖，改变我们的环境并伤害其他物种时，拒绝放弃。Renkl主要通过缺席看到了这种伤害。二十年来，Renkl在她的院子里没有见过一只乌龟，过去两年每年只出现了一只蚱蜢。鸟儿的数量也在减少。)”可知，Renkl通过个人观察发现了全球变暖对其他物种的伤害，故选D。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“The phenomenon of ecological damage is alarmingly apparent, To help, we humans do require fuel to restore our destroyed spirit. Fortunately, you can find that in Renkl's book. Find it as well in the informative, original full-color illustrations, all done by the author's brother Billy Renkl. The animals and plants so valued by Renkl need us now more than ever. (生态破坏的现象惊人地明显，为了帮助，我们人类确实需要燃料来恢复我们被摧毁的精神。幸运的是，你可以在Renkl的书里找到它。也可以在信息丰富、原创的全彩插图中找到它，这些都是作者弟弟Billy Renkl完成的。Renkl如此珍视的动植物现在比以往任何时候都更需要我们的帮助。)”可知，这里的“it”指的是恢复被摧毁的精神所需的燃料，故选C。 D Your mind’s being drawn away while you’re engaging in enjoyable activities can reduce satisfaction and result in over-consuming everyday pleasures later, according to new research. The study looked at how distraction affects “hedonic consumption” — pleasure-related consumption like buying goods or experiencing cheerful things because they make us feel good and not necessarily because we need them. When distracted while doing a pleasant activity, people are likely to experience less enjoyment from it than if they were fully focused. That may lead to dissatisfaction and drive more consumption to compensate for that shortfall. The researchers invited 122 participants who reported on how much they expected to enjoy their lunch before eating it and were then asked to eat their lunch under one of three conditions: no distraction, mild distraction (watching a video), and high distraction (playing a video game). After lunch, participants reported on their actual enjoyment, satisfaction, desire for further satisfaction and amount consumed. They also reported on their snacking later in the day. Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, which was associated with increased snacking afterward and a more general desire for further satisfaction. The researchers also followed 220 participants for weeks to investigate this broader effect beyond food. As with the food-based experiment, they found when people were distracted during consumption, they were likely to enjoy a product less than they hoped, feel less satisfied and need further satisfaction. “Overconsumption often results due to a lack of self-control,” said lead author Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to compensate by consuming more.” Murphy and his team plan to conduct more research to confirm the existence of a hedonic compensation effect. If it’s confirmed, they intend to apply interventions that could help people pay more attention to their consumption experiences in an effort to lower the likelihood of overconsumption. “By understanding the key drivers of hedonic overconsumption, we can develop strategies to prevent its occurrence,” said Murphy. 12. What do the underlined words“compensate for” mean in paragraph 2? A. Add to. B. Look into. C. Make up for. D. Put up with. 13. Participants who are eating but attracted to video games tend to ______ soon. A. have refreshments B. purchase luxuries C. watch more videos D. hang about with partners 14. What may be the newly found driver of overconsumption according to Murphy? A. Divided attention. B. Addiction to games. C. Others’interventions. D. Lack of self-discipline. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?! A. There exist data errors in the study. B. The study outcomes deserve further proof. C. Overconsumption will be rooted out in the near future. D. Murpby’s solutions to overconsumption are conventional. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，当你从事愉快的活动时，你的大脑被抽离会降低满意度，并导致日后过度消耗日常乐趣。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“When distracted while doing a pleasant activity, people are likely to experience less enjoyment from it than if they were fully focused. That may lead to dissatisfaction and drive more consumption to compensate for that shortfall.(当人们在做一项愉快的活动时分心时，可能会比完全集中注意力时体验到更少的乐趣。这可能会导致不满，并推动更多的消费来 缺口。)”可知，更多的消费会给人们带来快乐，所以这里应指用消费来弥补原本更少快乐的缺口。所以猜测compensate for 表“弥补”的意思。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, which was associated with increased snacking afterward and a more general desire for further satisfaction.(在分心的情况下进食的参与者报告称，他们的快乐和满意度较低，这与之后吃零食的次数增加以及对进一步满意度的更普遍愿望有关。)”以及结合选项可知，正在吃东西但被电子游戏吸引的参与者往往很快就吃点心来弥补。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段“However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to compensate by consuming more.(然而，我们的研究结果表明，过度消费也可能往往是由人类从一项活动中获得某种程度的享受的简单愿望所驱动的。当分心成为障碍时，我们可能会试图通过消费更多来弥补。)”可知，Murphy认为，注意力分散可能是新发现的过度消费的驱动因素。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Murphy and his team plan to conduct more research to confirm the existence of a hedonic compensation effect. If it’s confirmed, they intend to apply interventions that could help people pay more attention to their consumption experiences in an effort to lower the likelihood of overconsumption.(Murphy和他的团队计划进行更多的研究，以证实享乐补偿效应的存在。如果得到证实，他们打算采取干预措施，帮助人们更多地关注自己的消费体验，以降低过度消费的可能性。)”可知，研究结果值得进一步证明。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever sat in front of a blank canvas (画布), just out of ideas and feeling completely uninspired? ____16____ The good news is that as an artist you can develop that ability.

Shall we go to the newly completed basketball court to play basketball?” Jason asked his best friend excitedly. Instead of an enthusiastic reply, Gary looked away, stammering, “I can’t. I... I’ve joined a reading club.” His voice was so soft that Jason could barely catch his words. “To improve your reading? All right. We can go another time then,” Jason said reassuringly (安慰), confused as he was. As far as he knew, Gary had never declined any basketball-related activities. How come this was the case? Shaking his head skeptically, Jason got on his bike, heading for the destination alone. For the next few days, Gary stayed away from Jason in case he asked more questions. Unwilling to leave his best friend concerned about him, Gary wasn’t ready to tell Jason the truth that he had not joined a reading club but taken on a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant. A few days before, his father had a severe car accident and underwent a major operation. His condition required frequent visits to the hospital, which would contribute to huge medical expenses. The sudden misfortune threw the family into helplessness. His mother had to look after his father. Feeling it his responsibility to support the family at the crucial period, he landed a part-time job, which he thought was the best solution to easing his family’s financial stress. The moment the dismissal bell rang, Gary rushed out of the school gate to get ready for his shift at the fast-food restaurant. He didn’t want to be late. Latecomers would have their extra allowance deducted (扣除). Customers streaming into the restaurant, Gary quickly took his position behind the counter as a teenager started placing his order. Gary’s fingers moved rapidly to key in the items ordered. The teenager moved aside to wait for his order after making payment. “Next order, please,” Gary said and looked up, only to find he was face to face with none other than Jason. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Gary? Is that you?” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “Gary? Is that you?” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise. Gary’s heart skipped a beat as he nervously nodded, trying to keep his composure. “Yeah, it’s me,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. Jason’s expression shifted from shock to concern. “What are you doing here? I thought you joined a reading club,” he said, his tone laced with confusion. Finally, Gary took a deep breath and confessed, “Actually, I didn’t join a club. I got a part-time job here to help with my family’s medical expenses.” Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason. Gary explained the situation with his father’s accident and the financial strain it had put on their family. “I didn’t want to worry you, so I didn’t tell you the truth,” he said, looking down at his hands. “Gary, you should have told me,” he said gently. “We’re friends, and I would have helped if I could.” Gary smiled gratefully, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. “Thanks, Jason. It means a lot to me,” he replied. As they sat there, sharing a quiet moment, Gary knew that he had a true friend by his side, one who would stand by him through thick and thin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了加里的家庭因为父亲发生车祸陷入了无助的境地，加里选择去做兼职来补贴家用，却被自己的好朋友杰森看到了。在坦白了事情的经过以后，杰森表示愿意帮助加里。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘加里？是你吗？’杰森惊讶地睁大眼睛问道”可知，第一段可描写杰森看到加里在打工感到惊讶，询问原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“加里完成了他的工作，走过来和杰森坐在一起”可知，第二段可描写加里解释事情的经过以及杰森表示愿意提供帮助。 2.续写线索：见到加里——杰森惊讶——加里坦白——杰森支持——加里感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/give sb. a favor ②转变：shift/transform ③回答：reply/respond 情绪类 ①使担心：worry/concern ②真正的：true/genuine 【点睛】[高分句型1] Gary’s heart skipped a beat as he nervously nodded, trying to keep his composure.
