In a scenic community, a man known as Uncle Green has redefined the concept of waste. As a yam bean farmer, Uncle Green held a deep respect for education, coming from his own unfulfilled academic eagerness. Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference.
In 1997, he established a scholarship program initially funded by the local community, including contributions from other patrons. However, Uncle Green realized the need for a sustainable approach to support both education and the environment.
His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fueled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort. The program grew rapidly, transforming recyclables into educational scholarships and promoting a culture of sustainability.
Today, the community awards scholarships annually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, benefiting students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. The initiative has recycled60 tons of materials each year, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and responsibility.
Success stories, such as that of a doc tor al student in electrical engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament (证明) to the program’s impact. These students have not only achieved academically but also expressed a desire to contribute to their community.
Over two decades since its foundation, Uncle Green’s vision continues to inspire. The Community Development Association upholds his legacy by awarding scholarships to an increasing number of students. The collective effort has cultivated (培养) a love for reading and a commitment to sustainable living among the youth.
Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide.
4. What inspired Uncle Green to start the scholarship program?
A. The demand of his profession. B. His desire to teach children.
C. His deep respect for eagerness. D. The youths’ unwillingness to read.
5. How did Uncle Green’s scholarship program achieve sustainability?
A. Through government grants. B. Through annual fundraisers.
C. Through community recycling. D. Through business partnerships.
6. Why does the author mention the two students in paragraph 5?
A To seek for help from the community. B. To attract more youths to the initiative.
C. To indicate the importance of scholarship. D. To show the success of Uncle Green’s initiative.
7. What can Uncle Green’s story tell us?
A. Unity and innovation can create lasting change.
B. Education relies heavily on financial donations.
C. Environmental efforts outweigh academic pursuits.
D. Traditional methods can solve contemporary issues.
C
Deep within an Indonesian rainforest, a team of research scientists recorded something: a Sumatran orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus carefully treating a cut on his cheek with a medical plant. “This is the first observation of a wild animal doing so,” said Isabelle Laumer, a primatologist at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany.
The rainforest surrounding the research center is home to the highest density of Sumatran orangutans. One June morning in 2022, the researchers there observed that Rakus had suffered a wound under his right eye. Because he had wandered outside of the research area, no one witnessed how the injury occurred though the researchers have two hypotheses (假设).
One is that Rakus fell from a tree and got hit by a branch. Because Sumatran orangutans spend about 98 percent of their time in trees, they sometimes grab dead or dying branches that can’t hold their weight. The other possibility is that Rakus was wounded during a fight with another Sumatran orangutan. Fights within this region of the rainforest are rare but can occur when males try to establish dominance (统治地位).
Regardless of how the injury occurred, the team observed Rakus climbing plants called Akar Kuning, commonly used by humans as treatment for wounds and illnesses like malaria (疟疾). Rakus removed the leaves from the plant and chewed them. He then repeatedly put the liquid he extracted from the plant directly onto his wound. Afterward, he placed a solid part of the leaf over the area. Incredibly, the next day he returned to eat the plant again. Three days later, the wound closed. Within a month, its scar was barely noticeable.
“It could be that he was just feeding on the plant and then accidentally touched his wound with the hand that had been touching it and its pain-relieving properties were immediately felt so he applied it to the area again and again,” said Laumer.
“This new finding highlights the adaptive intelligence of these animals in natural environment, making us know animal behavior, medicinal plant use, and the potential development of human medicine,” said Ina-Vandebroek, a senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A. Scientists discover a new species. B. The rainforest contains medical plants.
C. A Sumatran orangutan treats the wound. D. Wild animals learn to use plants as tools.
9. What is one possible reason for that Rakus’ injury?
A. He was attacked by a natural enemy. B. He wandered outside the research area.
C. He was hit by his children while playing. D. He fell from a tree and was hurt by a branch.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The magic power of the plant. B. The process of treating the cut.
C. The intelligence of using a skill. D. The hard work to produce medicine.
11. How did Rakus learn to master the treatment according to Laumer?
A. By happening to find it. B. By learning from others.
C. By testing it on his body. D. By applying it repeatedly.
D
In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated—nanoplastics (纳米塑料) so tiny that they cannot be seen under a microscope.
At one-thousandth the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small that they can migrate through the tissues of the digestive tract or lungs into the bloodstream, distributing potentially noxious synthetic (人造的) chemicals throughout the body and into cells. One liter of water contains an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% are identified as nanoplastics and the rest are microplastics, according to the new study.
According to Sherri Mason, a researcher, the new finding strengthens long-held expert advice to drink tap water from glass or stainless steel containers to reduce exposure. That advice extends to other foods and drinks packaged in plastic.
Nanoplastics are the most worrying type of plastic pollution for human health. “The chemicals can be carried to your liver, kidney, and brain and even make their way across the placental boundary and end up in an unborn child,” said Mason.
“Based on other studies, we expected most of the microplastics in bottled water would come from leakage of the plastic bottle itself, which is typically made of PET (聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯) plastic,”said Qian, a doctoral student at Columbia University. Studies have found that particles of this plastic can be broken off by repeatedly opening and closing the cap of the bottle, crushing the bottle or subjecting it to heat, such as in a car.
“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages (饮料) in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabric s and buy consumer products made from natural materials,”said Jane Houlihan, an expert in environmental health.“We can estimate the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever possible.” Several studies have also reported lower microplastic levels in tap water.
12. What does the underlined word “noxious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Identical. B. Harmful. C. Primitive. D. Dynamic.
13. How do microplastics mainly enter bottled water according to the text?
A. By being present in the air. B. By contaminating the water source.
C. By breaking off from the plastic bottle. D. By being added during the producing process.
14. What does Jane Houlihan suggest doing to reduce plastic consumption in daily life?
A. Increasing the use of water containers.
B. Purchasing products made from synthetic materials.
C. Choosing natural fabrics and materials whenever possible.
D. Avoiding products packaged in glass or stainless steel containers.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Reduce Plastic Use in Daily Life B. New Study on Bottled Water Pollution
C. The Benefits of Drinking Tap Water D. The Health Risks of Nanoplastics

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。
It was the 1990s, and I worked in a restaurant. The Governess was a woman, perhaps in her sixties, with short hair set in curls that were close to her head. She dressed and spoke with a stiff sort of formality. She was strict, close to mean.
We didn’t hate her. I don’t think she ever got the cold shoulder. We were all extremely nice to her in hopes that she wouldn’t be too demanding with us. She tipped adequately. But it was exhausting to serve her.
For some reasons, I didn’t see her for a long time. However, after a whole year or so, she came in, and it was my shift to wait on the table. I thought, “No... I just can’t deal with her.” I was waiting tables, pregnant and exhausted. But this was my job, so I forced a smile onto my face and greeted her, “Can I help you?”
To my surprise, she smiled back. Throughout her whole meal, she was pleasant and warm. It was like a switch had been turned on, and she had become a completely different person. Another server whispered to me that she had been in a few days before and was just as cheerful then.
When one of our servers found out she was a head master in a small private school, he let it slip that we had nicknamed her “The Governess”. We thought that she would feel awkward about it. To our surprise, she gladly responded, “Oh, It’s so cute. I love it!”
She came into the restaurant one day, stating that she wanted to book a large party for an early dinner: her retirement party. The news surprised us all. We couldn’t believe that the strict and formal Governess we had known for years was finally hanging up her hat.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After her leaving, we started to prepare for her retirement party.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her husband asked if he could take the sign—“Governess Parking Only”—with them.

In a scenic community, a man known as Uncle Green has redefined the concept of waste. As a yam bean farmer, Uncle Green held a deep respect for education, coming from his own unfulfilled academic eagerness. Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference.
In 1997, he established a scholarship program initially funded by the local community, including contributions from other patrons. However, Uncle Green realized the need for a sustainable approach to support both education and the environment.
His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fueled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort. The program grew rapidly, transforming recyclables into educational scholarships and promoting a culture of sustainability.
Today, the community awards scholarships annually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, benefiting students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. The initiative has recycled60 tons of materials each year, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and responsibility.
Success stories, such as that of a doc tor al student in electrical engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament (证明) to the program’s impact. These students have not only achieved academically but also expressed a desire to contribute to their community.
Over two decades since its foundation, Uncle Green’s vision continues to inspire. The Community Development Association upholds his legacy by awarding scholarships to an increasing number of students. The collective effort has cultivated (培养) a love for reading and a commitment to sustainable living among the youth.
Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide.
4. What inspired Uncle Green to start the scholarship program?
A. The demand of his profession. B. His desire to teach children.
C. His deep respect for eagerness. D. The youths’ unwillingness to read.
5. How did Uncle Green’s scholarship program achieve sustainability?
A. Through government grants. B. Through annual fundraisers.
C. Through community recycling. D. Through business partnerships.
6. Why does the author mention the two students in paragraph 5?
A. To seek for help from the community. B. To attract more youths to the initiative.
C. To indicate the importance of scholarship. D. To show the success of Uncle Green’s initiative.
7. What can Uncle Green’s story tell us?
A. Unity and innovation can create lasting change.
B. Education relies heavily on financial donations.
C. Environmental efforts outweigh academic pursuits.
D. Traditional methods can solve contemporary issues.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A

Deep within an Indonesian rainforest, a team of research scientists recorded something: a Sumatran orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus carefully treating a cut on his cheek with a medical plant. “This is the first observation of a wild animal doing so,” said Isabelle Laumer, a primatologist at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany.
The rainforest surrounding the research center is home to the highest density of Sumatran orangutans. One June morning in 2022, the researchers there observed that Rakus had suffered a wound under his right eye. Because he had wandered outside of the research area, no one witnessed how the injury occurred though the researchers have two hypotheses (假设).
One is that Rakus fell from a tree and got hit by a branch. Because Sumatran orangutans spend about 98 percent of their time in trees, they sometimes grab dead or dying branches that can’t hold their weight. The other possibility is that Rakus was wounded during a fight with another Sumatran orangutan. Fights within this region of the rainforest are rare but can occur when males try to establish dominance (统治地位).
Regardless of how the injury occurred, the team observed Rakus climbing plants called Akar Kuning, commonly used by humans as treatment for wounds and illnesses like malaria (疟疾). Rakus removed the leaves from the plant and chewed them. He then repeatedly put the liquid he extracted from the plant directly onto his wound. Afterward, he placed a solid part of the leaf over the area. Incredibly, the next day he returned to eat the plant again. Three days later, the wound closed. Within a month, its scar was barely noticeable.
“It could be that he was just feeding on the plant and then accidentally touched his wound with the hand that had been touching it and its pain-relieving properties were immediately felt so he applied it to the area again and again,” said Laumer.
“This new finding highlights the adaptive intelligence of these animals in natural environment, making us know animal behavior, medicinal plant use, and the potential development of human medicine,” said Ina-Vandebroek, a senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A. Scientists discover a new species. B. The rainforest contains medical plants.
C. A Sumatran orangutan treats the wound. D. Wild animals learn to use plants as tools.
9. What is one possible reason for that Rakus’ injury?
A. He was attacked by a natural enemy. B. He wandered outside the research area.
C. He was hit by his children while playing. D. He fell from a tree and was hurt by a branch.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The magic power of the plant. B. The process of treating the cut.
C. The intelligence of using a skill. D. The hard work to produce medicine.
11. How did Rakus learn to master the treatment according to Laumer?
A. By happening to find it. B. By learning from others.
C. By testing it on his body. D. By applying it repeatedly.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Deep within an Indonesian rainforest, a team of research scientists recorded something: a Sumatran orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus carefully treating a cut on his cheek with a medical plant.(在印度尼西亚热带雨林深处,一组研究科学家记录了一些事情:一只名叫Rakus的苏门答腊猩猩用一种药用植物仔细地治疗脸颊上的伤口)”可知,作者在文章开头描述的是一只苏门答腊猩猩用药用植物治疗伤口的现象。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“One is that Rakus fell from a tree and got hit by a branch. Because Sumatran orangutans spend about 98 percent of their time in trees, they sometimes grab dead or dying branches that can’t hold their weight.(一个是Rakus从树上掉下来被树枝砸中。因为苏门答腊猩猩大约98%的时间都在树上度过,它们有时会抓住无法承受其重量的枯枝或垂死的树枝)”可知,Rakus受伤的一个可能原因是他从树上掉下来,被树枝刮伤。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Regardless of how the injury occurred, the team observed Rakus climbing plants called Akar Kuning, commonly used by humans as treatment for wounds and illnesses like malaria (疟疾). Rakus removed the leaves from the plant and chewed them. He then repeatedly put the liquid he extracted from the plant directly onto his wound. Afterward, he placed a solid part of the leaf over the area. Incredibly, the next day he returned to eat the plant again. Three days later, the wound closed. Within a month, its scar was barely noticeable.(不管受伤是如何发生的,研究小组观察到了一种名为Akar Kuning的拉库斯攀缘植物,这种植物通常被人类用来治疗伤口和疟疾等疾病。拉库斯从植物上取下叶子,咀嚼它们。然后,他反复将从植物中提取的液体直接涂在伤口上。之后,他把一片坚实的叶子放在那个地方。令人难以置信的是,第二天他又回来吃了那棵植物。三天后,伤口愈合了。不到一个月,它的伤疤几乎看不出来了)”可知,第四段主要描述了 Rak us治疗伤口的过程, 包括他如何使用植物的叶子和汁液来处理伤口。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““It could be that he was just feeding on the plant and then accidentally touched his wound with the hand that had been touching it and its pain-relieving properties were immediately felt so he applied it to the area again and again,” said Laumer.(劳默说:“可能他只是在吃这种植物,然后不小心用接触过这种植物的手碰到了他的伤口,他立即感觉到它的止痛作用,所以他一次又一次地把它涂在那个地方。”)”可知,Rakus可能是偶然发现这种植物的药用效果,然后反复使用它来治疗伤口。故选A。
D
In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated—nanoplastics (纳米塑料) so tiny that they cannot be seen under a microscope.
At one-thousandth the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small that they can migrate through the tissues of the digestive tract or lungs into the bloodstream, distributing potentially noxious synthetic (人造的) chemicals throughout the body and into cells. One liter of water contains an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% are identified as nanoplastics and the rest are microplastics, according to the new study.
According to Sherri Mason, a researcher, the new finding strengthens long-held expert advice to drink tap water from glass or stainless steel containers to reduce exposure. That advice extends to other foods and drinks packaged in plastic.
Nanoplastics are the most worrying type of plastic pollution for human health. “The chemicals can be carried to your liver, kidney, and brain and even make their way across the placental boundary and end up in an unborn child,” said Mason.
“Based on other studies, we expected most of the microplastics in bottled water would come from leakage of the plastic bottle itself, which is typically made of PET (聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯) plastic,”said Qian, a doctoral student at Columbia University. Studies have found that particles of this plastic can be broken off by repeatedly opening and closing the cap of the bottle, crushing the bottle or subjecting it to heat, such as in a car.
“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages (饮料) in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabric s and buy consumer products made from natural materials,”said Jane Houlihan, an expert in environmental health.“We can estimate the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever possible.” Several studies have also reported lower microplastic levels in tap water.
12. What does the underlined word “noxious” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Identical. B. Harmful. C. Primitive. D. Dynamic.
13. How do microplastics mainly enter bottled water according to the text?
A. By being present in the air. B. By contaminating the water source.
C. By breaking off from the plastic bottle. D. By being added during the producing process.
14. What does Jane Houlihan suggest doing to reduce plastic consumption in daily life?
A. Increasing the use of water containers.
B. Purchasing products made from synthetic materials.
C. Choosing natural fabrics and materials whenever possible.
D. Avoiding products packaged in glass or stainless steel containers.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Reduce Plastic Use in Daily Life B. New Study on Bottled Water Pollution
C The Benefits of Drinking Tap Water D. The Health Risks of Nanoplastics
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究:瓶装水中含有大量纳米塑料,这些塑料对人体有潜在的危害。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“At one-thousandth the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small that they can migrate through the tissues of the digestive tract or lungs into the bloodstream(纳米塑料只有人类头发平均宽度的千分之一,它们非常小,可以通过消化道或肺部的组织进入血液)”以及后文的“…synthetic (人造的) chemicals throughout the body and into cells.(……合成化学物质遍布全身并进入细胞。) ”可知,纳米塑料能够迁移并通过消化道或肺部的组织进入血液,将可能有害的合成化学物质分布到全身和细胞中。因此,“noxious”在这里指的是“有害的”。B选项“Harmful.(有害的)”与划线词为同义词。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Based on other studies, we expected most of the microplastics in bottled water would come from leakage of the plastic bottle itself, which is typically made of PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯) plastic,(根据其他研究,我们预计瓶装水中的大部分微塑料将来自塑料瓶本身的泄漏,塑料瓶通常由PET塑料制成,)”以及后文中“Studies have found that particles of this plastic can be broken off by repeatedly opening and closing the cap of the bottle, crushing the bottle or subjecting it to heat, such as in a car.(研究发现,这种塑料颗粒可以通过反复打开和关闭瓶盖、压碎瓶子或加热来破碎。)”可知,这表明瓶装水中的微塑料主要来自塑料瓶本身的泄漏。进一步解释中提到,这种塑料(PET塑料)的颗粒会因反复开关瓶盖、挤压瓶子或将其置于高温环境(如车内)而脱落。因此,微塑料主要通过从塑料瓶中脱落的方式进入瓶装水。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages (饮料) in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabric s and buy consumer products made from natural materials(我们可以避免食用塑料容器中的食物和饮料。我们可以穿由天然面料制成的衣服,购买由天然材料制成的消费品)”可知,Jane Houlihan 建议在日常生活中减少塑料消耗的方法是“尽可能选择天然面料和材料制成的产品”即尽可能选择天然的织物和材料。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要围绕一项关于瓶装水中纳米塑料污染的新研究进行描述,并探讨了其对人类健康的潜在风险。因此,B选项“New Study on Bottled Water Pollution(瓶装水污染新研究)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了60多岁的程永茂长期致力于修复与维护北京长城箭扣段的故事,以及他日常工作的内容与重要性。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:程永茂,60多岁,近二十年来一直在修复和维护长城箭扣段,早上6:30到达办公室,立即开始工作。根据空后谓语动词“is”和“has been repairing and maintaining”及“reaches”可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Cheng Yongmao,先行词为人,且从句中缺少主语,应用关系代词who引导。故填 who。
【37题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:程永茂,60多岁,近二十年来一直在修复和维护长城箭扣段,早上6:30到达办公室,立即开始工作。空处是句子的谓语动词,根据空前的并列谓语“reaches”可知,句子描述的是程永茂的一般行为习惯,应用一般现在时,主语Cheng Yongmao是第三人称单数,谓语动词get应用第三人称单数形式gets。故填gets。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:箭扣段被广泛认为是北京长城最危险的部分之一,被徒步者称为“野长城”。hiker 是可数名词,空格前没有限定词,应用名词的复数形式hikers作介词by的宾语,表发泛指。故填hikers。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:长城屹立450多年来,遭受了自然灾害和人为影响,现在急需维护和加固。空前after是介词,其后需接动名词形式standing作介词宾语。故填standing。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:程说:“建筑工程一般从4月持续到10月进行,现在是时候准备未来工作的相关文件了。”根据空后“conducted”可知,空处应用所给词的副词形式generally“通常”,修饰动词conducted。故填generally。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:程说:“建筑工程一般从4月持续到10月进行,现在是时候准备未来工作的相关文件了。”根据空前“it’s time”可知,句子构成固定句型it’s time to do sth,意为“是时候做某事了”,空处应用不定式形式to prepare。故填 to prepare。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:以前的工作必须回顾,清理和维修过程中发现的历史物品需要妥善归档,同时要准备好未来的施工图纸。根据句子的谓语动词“need to be put”可知,空处应用非谓语形式作后置定语,修饰historical items,historical items与unearth之间是被动关系,应用过去分词unearthed作后置定语,表示“被发掘的历史物品”。故填unearthed。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:程的办公室里充满了他处理长城事务的痕迹。be filled with为固定搭配,意为“充满”,故空处应用介词with。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:门后的角落里立着一打他用树枝做的手杖,旁边是一堆他用来铺瓦的工具。pile 是可数名词,首次提及,且pile以辅音音素开头,故空处应用不定冠词a,a pile of表示“一堆”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们清楚地显示了程用计算机程序绘制的塔楼和各种各样的景点。根据空后名词短语“scenic spots”可知,空处需用形容词形式various/varied修饰scenic spots,作定语。故填various/varied。

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。
It was the 1990s, and I worked in a restaurant. The Governess was a woman, perhaps in her sixties, with short hair set in curls that were close to her head. She dressed and spoke with a stiff sort of formality. She was strict, close to mean.
We didn’t hate her. I don’t think she ever got the cold shoulder. We were all extremely nice to her in hopes that she wouldn’t be too demanding with us. She tipped adequately. But it was exhausting to serve her.
For some reasons, I didn’t see her for a long time. However, after a whole year or so, she came in, and it was my shift to wait on the table. I thought, “No... I just can’t deal with her.” I was waiting tables, pregnant and exhausted. But this was my job, so I forced a smile onto my face and greeted her, “Can I help you?”
To my surprise, she smiled back. Throughout her whole meal, she was pleasant and warm. It was like a switch had been turned on, and she had become a completely different person. Another server whispered to me that she had been in a few days before and was just as cheerful then.
When one of our servers found out she was a head master in a small private school, he let it slip that we had nicknamed her “The Governess”. We thought that she would feel awkward about it. To our surprise, she gladly responded, “Oh, It’s so cute. I love it!”
She came into the restaurant one day, stating that she wanted to book a large party for an early dinner: her retirement party. The news surprised us all. We couldn’t believe that the strict and formal Governess we had known for years was finally hanging up her hat.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After her leaving, we started to prepare for her retirement party.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her husband asked if he could take the sign—“Governess Parking Only”—with them.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
After her leaving, we started to prepare for her retirement party. As we prepared for the party, all the servers gave varieties of suggestions. All the waitresses once served her mentioned her favorite food. At last, one of our line cooks suggested that we get a custom sign— “Governess Parking Only”. All agreed it was a good idea. Several of us joined in to have it made. When the party came, her husband laughed happily at “Governess Parking Only” sign.
Her husband asked if he could take the sign—“Governess Parking Only”—with them. Of course the answer was a big yes. Every employee of the restaurant was there to wish her well. A few of our former servers even stopped in to give her a hug. Shortly after that, she was gone from our lives, moving to a warmer state. I never knew what caused her shift in personality, but I’m so glad we could get to know her as well as we did.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了一位在餐厅工作的作者与一位被叫作“The Governess”的常客之间的故事。“The Governess”平时严肃、正式,让服务员感到压力,在退休之前,她预订了餐厅的一个大房间举办提前晚餐,也就是她的退休聚会,这个消息让大家都很惊讶。服务员们为她准备了一场退休聚会,并制作了一个“Governess专用停车位”的标志,她非常喜欢。在聚会结束后,她把“Governess专用停车位”的标志带走了。虽然服务员们不知道她的性格转变的原因,但他们都很高兴能了解到她更多的一面。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她走后,我们开始准备她的退休晚会。”可知,第一段可描写作者和同事们精心为Governess女士准备退休晚会的情节,最终决定制作了一个“Governess专用停车位”的标志。

2.续写线索:
准备退休晚会——提议安装定制的“Governess专用停车位”的标志——Governess开心地接受着这份礼物——丈夫询问是否可以带走——同事们送出真挚的祝福——Governess女士搬迁至更温暖的地方
