B Kawasaki disease(川崎病) is every parent’s nightmare(噩梦). This rare illness is the chief cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children. Historically, it’s been difficult for doctors to spot it, until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can find it out. Ellen’s invention does research on a photograph of the child and looks for clear signs of Kawasaki disease, like a swollen tongue. It’s a great invention that likely wouldn’t have come about if it all weren’t so personal. When Ellen, a San Diego native, was 5 years old, her parents rushed her kid sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had a fever, reddened eyes and swelling in her hands and tongue. At first the puzzled doctors guessed that Kate had a flu. But when her condition didn’t improve, she returned to the Emergency Room, where she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and treated immediately. In time she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones. 10 years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve,” says Ellen, now a student at Stanford. So she set out to do just that. Using data, she invented an app that can identify the physical signs of Kawasaki disease from a photo. It works similarly to apps that can identify birds and plants. The app is expected to appear soon on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website, kdfoundation. org. As for Kate, Ellen says the little girl with the mysterious disease is now an energetic high school junior with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer. 4. What can be learned about Kawasaki disease from paragraph 1? A. It occurs in everyone. B. It may lead to acquired heart disease. C. It is difficult to identify now. D. It can be treated successfully by Ellen. 5. Why did Kate return to the Emergency Room? A. To shake off her flu. B. To get good luck. C. To receive further examination. D. To escape damaging her heart. 6. What inspired Ellen to invent the app? A. Doctors’ request. B. A science fair. C. Kate’s illness. D. Stanford’s homework. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An invention for Kawasaki disease. B. A joyful story of a sick girl. C. The treatment for Kawasaki disease. D. A united and happy family. C When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals. 9. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute. 10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting D HELSINKI — Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. In early 2018, a pair of giant pandas from China made their first public appearance at the Ahtari Zoo in central Finland. It was the first time that pandas had come to live in Northern Europe, and the event was met with great enthusiasm from the Finnish public. The pandas, Hua Bao and Jin Baobao, were nicknamed “Pyry” and “Lumi” — meaning “heavy snowfall” and “snow” — by their hosts in Finland. Meanwhile, two years before their arrival, a group of local farmers had taken up the challenge of growing bamboo in the country where temperatures often fall to below 30 degrees Celsius in winter. The farmers have persevered despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. Over the years, agricultural advisor Jari Luokkakallio has become an expert on bamboo cultivation, driven by the desire to build the best possible food reserves for the pandas. “I think the pandas prefer the bamboo that I bring to them,” Luokkakallio said. “It is fresh and local.” Around 50 farmers joined in the bamboo cultivation project when it was first launched in 2016. “The first year was very, very hard,” Luokkakallio said. “When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.” The next year, the farmers started all over again, he said. “And we came to understand that we had to better protect the bamboo.” Looking back on such experiences, Luokkakallallo stressed that it was important to adopt techniques suitable for Finland’s climate. For example, snow can be used as a natural insulator (绝缘体) for bamboo plants. When Luokkakallio learned that bamboo grows in China’s cool, slightly wet mountainous areas, he was convinced it could also grow in snowy Finland. “The snow actually provides the best protection for the bamboo, an evergreen plant,” Euokkakallio said. Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) or the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. By conducting experiments and learning from mistakes, Luokkakallio said he discovered Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo, which is crucial for sustaining the pandas’ diet locally. Finland’s local bamboo production currently makes up just a small part of the food supply for the two giant pandas, providing an alternative when extreme situations could affect the timely arrival of imported bamboo. “Growing, bamboo is our hobby, not a business,” Luokkakallio said, adding that he and his colleagues are delighted to be able to provide some backup (后援) food reserves for the lovely pandas in Ahtari. “My grandsons are also very proud of me because what I’m doing for the two pandas is special.” 12. What does the underlined word “persevered” in Paragraph 3 mean? A Broken down. B. Given up. C Kept trying. D. Continued worrying. 13. Why did Luokkakallio say the first year to plant bamboo was rather difficult? A. All the bamboo shoots died from lack of water. B. The output of bamboo plants was very small. C. All the bamboo plants were frozen to death. D. The bamboo plants grew very slowly. 14. How do Luokkakallio and his colleagues keep the bamboo leaves green and fresh? A. By growing the bamboo plants in greenhouses. B. By using snow to cover the bamboo plants. C. By spraying some special chemicals on the plants. D. By watering the plants from time to time. 15. What can be the best title for the news report? A. Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland B. Pandas have been used to living in Finland C. Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo D Bamboo can grow in snowy Finland 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. ____16____ But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.

They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on. After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons, Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room? He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it. Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel. On the day of Allen’s party Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car.

In time she shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart, making her one of the lucky ones. 10 years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve,” says Ellen, now a student at Stanford. So she set out to do just that. Using data, she invented an app that can identify the physical signs of Kawasaki disease from a photo. It works similarly to apps that can identify birds and plants. The app is expected to appear soon on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website, kdfoundation. org. As for Kate, Ellen says the little girl with the mysterious disease is now an energetic high school junior with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer. 4. What can be learned about Kawasaki disease from paragraph 1? A. It occurs in everyone. B. It may lead to acquired heart disease. C. It is difficult to identify now. D. It can be treated successfully by Ellen. 5. Why did Kate return to the Emergency Room? A. To shake off her flu. B. To get good luck. C. To receive further examination. D. To escape damaging her heart. 6. What inspired Ellen to invent the app? A. Doctors’ request. B. A science fair. C. Kate’s illness. D. Stanford’s homework. 7. What does the text mainly talk about? A. An invention for Kawasaki disease. B. A joyful story of a sick girl. C. The treatment for Kawasaki disease. D. A united and happy family. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Ellen发明了一款可以识别川崎病的应用程序的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This rare illness is the chief cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children.(这种罕见的疾病是婴儿和幼儿后天心脏病的主要原因。)”可知，川崎病可能导致后天心脏病，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But when her condition didn’t improve, she returned to the Emergency Room, where she was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and treated immediately.(但当她的病情没有好转时，她回到了急诊室，在那里她被诊断出患有川崎病并立即接受治疗。)”可知，Kate回到急诊室是为了接受进一步的检查和治疗，故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“10 years later, Ellen, needing a project for a high school science fair, recalled her sister’s illness. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve,” says Ellen, now a student at Stanford. So she set out to do just that.(10年后，Ellen需要一个高中科学展览的项目，她想起了妹妹的病。“这是一个我想解决的难题，”现在在斯坦福大学读书的Ellen说。所以她开始着手解决这个问题。)”可知，Ellen发明这款应用程序的灵感来自于她妹妹的病，故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Historically, it’s been difficult for doctors to spot it, until recently, when a young inventor developed an app that can find it out.(历史上，医生很难发现它，直到最近，一位年轻的发明家开发了一款可以发现它的应用程序。)”以及第四段“Using data, she invented an app that can identify the physical signs of Kawasaki disease from a photo.(利用数据，她发明了一款可以从照片中识别川崎病体征的应用程序。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述的是Ellen发明的一款可以识别川崎病的应用程序，故选A项。 C When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals. 9. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute. 10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于栖息地减少，美国水禽骤减，因此联邦发行鸭票，狩猎者只有购买鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护水禽。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.(数百万只水禽被市场猎人和一些野心勃勃的运动员杀死。数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，以养活和安置不断增加的人口，大大减少了水禽的栖息地)”可知，数百万英亩的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房，导致水禽的栖息地减少，水禽数量下降。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.(美洲原住民明智地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。不幸的是，仅仅几十年的探险家和定居者就decimate这些资源的大部分)”可知，前后句形成转折，前一句陈述美洲原住民保护这些宝贵的自然资源，所以后句表示探险家和定居者破坏了这些自然资源，推测划线单词表示“破坏”，与destroy同义。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.(自1934年以来，已有超过5亿美元投入该基金，用于购买500多万英亩的栖息地)”可知，自1934年通过法案，政府获得超过5亿美元，已经筹集了很多资金，以购买水禽栖息地。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. (根据该法案，所有16岁及以上的水禽猎人必须每年购买并携带联邦鸭章)”以及第三段“Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.(难怪联邦鸭票计划被称为有史以来最成功的保护计划之一)”可知，本文主要讲述了联邦鸭票的故事，所以“联邦鸭票的故事”可以作为文章标题。故选A。 D HELSINKI — Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. In early 2018, a pair of giant pandas from China made their first public appearance at the Ahtari Zoo in central Finland. It was the first time that pandas had come to live in Northern Europe, and the event was met with great enthusiasm from the Finnish public. The pandas, Hua Bao and Jin Baobao, were nicknamed “Pyry” and “Lumi” — meaning “heavy snowfall” and “snow” — by their hosts in Finland. Meanwhile, two years before their arrival, a group of local farmers had taken up the challenge of growing bamboo in the country where temperatures often fall to below 30 degrees Celsius in winter. The farmers have persevered despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. Over the years, agricultural advisor Jari Luokkakallio has become an expert on bamboo cultivation, driven by the desire to build the best possible food reserves for the pandas. “I think the pandas prefer the bamboo that I bring to them,” Luokkakallio said. “It is fresh and local.” Around 50 farmers joined in the bamboo cultivation project when it was first launched in 2016. “The first year was very, very hard,” Luokkakallio said. “When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.” The next year, the farmers started all over again, he said. “And we came to understand that we had to better protect the bamboo.” Looking back on such experiences, Luokkakallallo stressed that it was important to adopt techniques suitable for Finland’s climate. For example, snow can be used as a natural insulator (绝缘体) for bamboo plants. When Luokkakallio learned that bamboo grows in China’s cool, slightly wet mountainous areas, he was convinced it could also grow in snowy Finland. “The snow actually provides the best protection for the bamboo, an evergreen plant,” Euokkakallio said. Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) or the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. By conducting experiments and learning from mistakes, Luokkakallio said he discovered Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo, which is crucial for sustaining the pandas’ diet locally. Finland’s local bamboo production currently makes up just a small part of the food supply for the two giant pandas providing an alternative when extreme situations could affect the timely arrival of imported bamboo. “Growing, bamboo is our hobby, not a business,” Luokkakallio said, adding that he and his colleagues are delighted to be able to provide some backup (后援) food reserves for the lovely pandas in Ahtari. “My grandsons are also very proud of me because what I’m doing for the two pandas is special.” 12. What does the underlined word “persevered” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Broken down. B. Given up. C. Kept trying. D. Continued worrying. 13. Why did Luokkakallio say the first year to plant bamboo was rather difficult? A. All the bamboo shoots died from lack of water. B. The output of bamboo plants was very small. C. All the bamboo plants were frozen to death. D. The bamboo plants grew very slowly. 14. How do Luokkakallio and his colleagues keep the bamboo leaves green and fresh? A. By growing the bamboo plants in greenhouses. B. By using snow to cover the bamboo plants. C. By spraying some special chemicals on the plants. D. By watering the plants from time to time. 15. What can be the best title for the news report? A. Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland B. Pandas have been used to living in Finland C. Finland-specific ways to protect bamboo D. Bamboo can grow in snowy Finland 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了芬兰的一些科学家和农民学习种植竹子，为芬兰的两只大熊猫提供食物来源。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The farmers have persevered despite failures and difficulties, and their efforts are now bearing fruit as they have succeeded in growing bamboo in the extreme cold. (尽管失败了，困难重重，但农民们仍然……，他们的努力现在正在结出硕果，因为他们成功地在严寒中种植了竹子。)”可知，农民在种植竹子时，失败和困难重重，但他们没有放弃，坚持了下来，最终成功，persevered在句中可意为“坚持不懈”，故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中““When the temperature dropped to minus 30 in November and December, we lost every single bamboo plant.” (“当11月和12月的气温下降到零下30度时，我们失去了每一棵竹子。”)”可知，因为11、12月份气温下降至零下30度，所以竹子全部冻死了，故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Covering bamboo with snow ensures enough moisture (湿度) for the leaves, he said, so that they remain green and fresh. (他说，用雪覆盖竹子可以确保叶子有足够的水分，这样它们就可以保持绿色和新鲜。)”可知，用学覆盖竹子可以确保竹叶保持绿色和新鲜。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“HELSINKI—Driven by a passion for giant pandas, Finnish scientists are learning how to cultivate bamboo in freezing temperatures not normally beneficial to growing the primary food source for these special animals. (赫尔辛基消息，出于对大熊猫的热情，芬兰科学家正在学习如何在冰冻的温度下种植竹子，而这些竹子通常不利于这些特殊动物的主要食物来源的生长。)”可知，本文主要讲述了芬兰科学家为了给熊猫提供新鲜的竹子，不断尝试在芬兰种植竹子并获得成功的故事，A项“Cultivating bamboo for pandas in Finland (在芬兰为熊猫种植竹子)”最能概括全文，故选A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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. ____16____ But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.

They are our time to shine, and we love everything about them: the balloons, the games, the cake, the gifts, and so on. After reading cool stories about police officers solving mysteries, Allen Miller thought the police were awesome, hoping to become one of them! So, when he had to choose a theme for his seventh birthday party—he went with his favorite: the police! And all he wanted for his birthday party was a model police car. He excitedly invited some of his friends and anxiously awaited the day. Unfortunately, none of them could make it to the party due to various reasons, Allen’s mom Rachel wrestled with the challenging decision: should she cancel the party and save Allen the embarrassment of an empty party room? He had been looking forward to the party and talking about it daily, so it would break his heart to cancel it. Officer Frank Smith, who had already planned with Rachel and agreed to show up at the party, heard from Rachel that it might be canceled due to low attendance. That’s when he decided to save the day—he is a police officer after all! His duty is to serve and protect, and he decided to protect Allen from having a bad day, and serve him the most amazing seventh birthday party! Officer Smith got the whole local police to join in. “We like to be involved in our community. It’s not just about enforcing (执行) the law. We like to be there in the good times as well,” he explained to Rachel. On the day of Allen’s party, Officer Smith picked up Rachel and Allen in his police car. The boy didn’t know where they were going, but was excited. They stopped at Town Hall, and officer Smith led them into the meeting room where a group of policemen were waiting to wish Allen a happy birthday. 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。 There, a party was waiting for him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After they enjoyed the cake, Officer Smith took out a gift bag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There, a party was waiting for him. The moment Allen stepped inside, a chorus of “Happy Birthday” filled the meeting room, and he found himself surrounded by lots of police officers holding balloons. Officer Smith introduced him to all the officers, who gave him high fives. Allen was thrilled, and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the grand police-themed cake. As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere. After they enjoyed the cake, officer Smith took out a gift bag. “It’s for you.” He presented the delicately wrapped parcel to Allen, who was stunned by the surprise. “Wow, a model police car! It looks exactly like the one we came here in! Thank you!” Officer Smith smiled, “Anytime, Allen.” Allen hugged Officer Smith and thanked him again for making the otherwise crushing disappointment his time to shine. It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。Allen很喜欢警察，所以他为自己的七岁生日派对选择了警察主题，并且想要一个警车模型作为生日礼物。但是他的朋友由于各种原因而不能在那天为他庆生。为了不让他失望，警官Frank Smith和Allen的妈妈计划为Allen准备一个独特的生日派对。在生日那天Frank Smith带着Allen和妈妈进入市政厅，一群警察为Allen庆生，他还收到了警车模型。这些当地英雄用小小的善举激励了这个男孩。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“在那里，一个派对正在等着他。”可知，第一段可以描写生日派对上的情形。 ②由续写第二段首句“他们享用蛋糕后，Smith警官拿出一个礼品袋。”可知，第二段可以描写Allen收到了警官送的警车模型，这些警官用小小的善举激励了这个男孩。 2. 续写线索：Allen进入会议室——一群警察为Allen庆祝生日——Allen收到了警车模型礼物——Allen非常感动 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①拿着：hold/take/carry ②介绍：introduce/recommend ③爆发出：erupt into/burst into 情绪类 ①兴奋的：thrilled/excited ②欢乐的：joyful/pleasant ③惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Allen cut into the cake with the help of his mom, the room erupted into cheers and laughter, adding to the joyful atmosphere.(使用了As引导时间状语从句、现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】It was the local heroes who helped by being part of the community and inspiring the young soul in small but effective ways.
