Passage 1 人猫情缘
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。
“You can get a kitten,” I promised my seven-year-old daughter, Cali.“As soon as we get settled in our new apartment.” Her life had been uprooted when her father and I divorced.So one morning, we headed to North Bay Animal Services to pick out her new pet.
There were plenty of cats to choose from, but Cali had her heart set on two orange and white kittens.The attendant told us they were brothers called Caramel and Butter.They played like best friends.When they tired out, they curled around each other, their identical markings creating what looked like a heart.
Cali wanted to take them both.But the landlord had made it clear that we could only have one pet in the apartment.Finally, we decided to bring Caramel home.Cali renamed him Ozzy.That night I watched Ozzy and Cali fall asleep together, telling myself they'd forget about the other kitten soon.
How wrong I was! Ozzy did seem lonely without his twin.No matter how Cali and I tried to distract him over the next few days, he wandered around the apartment, crying, as if looking for his brother.After two weeks of being like this, I broke down.We drove back to the shelter, only to be told Butter had been adopted four days ago.
Cali was sad, and I was so desperate to calm her down that I said something foolish.“We'll find Butter and adopt him, too,” I said.“What are you doing?” I asked myself.I knew I'd never be able to fulfill that promise.But it was the only thing that seemed to bring my daughter some peace.
With time, Ozzy got used to being on his own.And Cali stopped asking about the other kitten.Our new life was working-out just as I'd hoped.I even started dating again.Brian, who had lost his wife four years ago, seemed promising.He had a daughter, Ruby, just a year older than Cali.I'd met him online and talked to him for months before we planned a dinner at his home.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
That day, after dinner, we were walking by Brian's house when I saw a flash of orange and white in the corner._______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“That's my cat,” Brian said._________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
这是一篇情节比较丰富的文章,讲述了作者离婚后带着女儿Cali独自生活,为了让Cali心情愉悦,作者答应给她买一只宠物猫。Cali在动物服务处看上了两只橙白相间的孪生猫,但是房东只允许养一只猫,所以她们母女只能选择一只猫带回家。本以为小猫会逐渐适应新的环境,但是与孪生兄弟分开的小猫显然非常难过,兽犹如此,人何以堪。当作者再次来到动物服务处想找回另一只小猫时,却被告知另一只小猫已经被他人收养了。作者答应女儿会为她的小猫找回兄弟,但茫茫人海,希望渺茫。随着时间的流逝,女儿Cali和她的小猫开始慢慢习惯新生活,作者也开始走出人生阴影,开始接触其他单身男士,并遇到了单身爸爸Brian。经过一段时间的了解,两人约好了在Brian家里共进晚餐。
根据续写的提示:第一句:饭后两人散步的时候,作者看到角落里闪过一个橙白相间的影子;第二句:Brian说那是他自己的猫。
根据橙白相间的影子,很容易推测出来那或许是作者家里那只小猫的孪生兄弟,所以续写第一段可以描写从作者确定那个一闪而过的影子是一只猫,到那只猫和自家猫非常像,甚至一模一样,再到那只猫看起来似乎就是作者答应女儿要寻找的那只猫。续写第二段可以描写Brian介绍那只猫是自己的猫,让作者感到非常惊喜,而这不仅是因为作者对Brian有好感,更难以置信的是他们分别收养了一对孪生兄弟猫中的一只,从而感慨缘分的奇妙。
需要注意的是:1.前文中出现了较多人名和猫名,续写过程要注意不能混淆作者女儿、约会对象及其女儿、两只猫在动物服务处的旧名字和被收养后的新名字;2.前文中作者对女儿和自己收养的小猫的态度,都体现出作者是一个有爱心的人,在经历了生活的波折后依然心中有爱的人通常都会得到幸福。
That day, after dinner, we were walking by Brian's house when I saw a flash of orange and white in the corner. I was familiar with the special color because of Ozzy. Curiosity drove me to walk further to the corner, and then I saw a cat which looked exactly the same as Ozzy! It must be Butter, Ozzy's twin brother! I was too excited to say a word. Brain was confused, “Why are you so excited at a cat?” “I have been looking for him for years!” I answered him happily.
“That's my cat,” Brian said. Noticing Brain's confusion, I told him the story about the two cats and he was also surprised. Then he said Ruby fell in love with the little orange and white kitten the first time she saw it in the North Bay Animal Services. What an amazing thing! Both of us were happy about the luck and we couldn't wait to share it with Cali and Ruby. On hearing the surprise packet, the girls jumped together excitedly. Ozzy finally found its twin brother and I also met the right man. The twin cats lived together again because I married Brian before long.
Passage 2 徒步遇险记
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。
Mr.Taylor checked again: water, food, a bandage, medicines, a compass, and a map wrapped in plastic...Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.
Mr.Taylor was fond of hiking, this time in particular, for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons, Harry and Joel.Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term.“It will be an unforgettable experience, definitely.” He whispered to himself, unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.
Harry and Joel, however, argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip.Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes.Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray.Harry told Joel he smelled terrible.Joel called Harry a coward (懦夫).
“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” Their father said.“You're missing all of the beautiful scenery!”
It was true.Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip.They hadn't looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead.Worst of all, they hadn't paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.
“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed.
“That's not true!” Joel shouted back.
Mr.Taylor could no longer contain his anger.“And both of you need to stop arguing!” He erupted.As he turned to face them, his left foot caught on a root.He slipped backward and down the muddy bank, falling into the river that ran alongside the path.
Harry and Joel raced to their father's assistance.They helped him up out of the water, and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.
Fortunately, their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water._________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Just calm down,” Mr.Taylor shouted, “without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.”__________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
本文讲述的是徒步爱好者Taylor带着两个孩子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行的故事。Taylor本以为这会是一场愉悦的旅行,但是两个孩子一路上都在吵架,完全忽略了旅途的美好风光。劝说后,孩子们仍旧继续争吵,这时 Taylor再也抑制不住怒火,但却意外摔倒,掉进了河里。两个孩子赶紧合力救起了他,幸好全身湿透的Taylor只受了轻伤。
根据续写的提示:第一句:Taylor的眼镜掉进了河里;第二句:Taylor说,“冷静,没有眼镜,我们得一起合作找到回家的路。”
根据续写第一句和第二句提示可知,“眼镜”是共同提到的关键词,由此推断,续写第一段的内容应该围绕“眼镜”展开,情节线可设想为:父亲没有眼镜的不便—众人试图寻找眼镜—没能找到眼镜—意识到无法回家—两个孩子争吵。根据第二句提示可知,续写第二段的内容应该重点放在寻找回家的路上,描写找路的方式和过程。
需要注意的是:1.原文用了一定篇幅描写父子三人在徒步方面的相关内容,比如父亲Taylor徒步经验丰富, Joel的理论知识丰富,Harry加入了学校徒步俱乐部,在描写找路的过程中,可结合原文展开想象;2.最后结尾时,可以点明文章主题,团结合作才能战胜困难。
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. A frown stood up as he silently took off his wet clothes. Joel made an attempt to search for the lost glasses, but undoubtedly failed. While Harry applied medicine to Father's wound, he noticed his father made the bandage a mess due to the loss of glasses. An uncontrollable sense of fear surged through him that without glasses, Father probably couldn't lead them back home. “If only Joel hadn't thrown a stick at me!” Harry mumbled. “I swear that's not true!” Joel screamed. They appeared on the verge of losing their temper.
“Just calm down,” Mr. Taylor shouted, “without my glasses, we need to work together to find our way.” The two boys were totally at a loss when wrapping the compass and map in their arms respectively, though. Taking a deep breath, Mr. Taylor instructed them to recognize marks on these two tools as well as introduced methods to use them. What happened next was a pure magic. Joel had no difficulty in manipulating the compass if he related it with what he had read from books before. And Harry found himself a born talent to identify their direction and which way to follow. Spotting the way home, they hugged tightly, realizing that only cooperation can overcome difficulties.
Passage 3 养鹅的故事
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。
In 2000, when I was around seven years old, all my family were coming back from a T-ball game, which was our usual weekend adventure, but unlike every other weekend, a surprise was waiting for us in our driveway—two adult geese and a small goose.Obviously startled by our return, the adults flew away in panic, with their baby, too young to fly, left in place, tiny and delicate.
Hours passed one after another, and night eventually fell.However, with it also came a deep chill and a fear of watchful animals.It was apparent that the gosling needed protection, warmth, and food to make it to the morning, so we had to help it, and we brought him onto our backyard.
We all pretty much slept with one eye open till morning came.And then another morning.And still another.Each morning, we would try to drive the goose away to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard.He wouldn't go to them, though, and neither would they come close enough to claim him.We kept this up for five days, but no luck.Realizing the young goose had clearly decided we were his family by then, we had to give him a name, calling the little guy Peeper, because he would often follow us around the yard making a peeping(唧唧叫) noise, nonstop.Besides, we decided that Peeper was a boy.I don't know why; it just felt right.
A year passed and we settled into a routine.Peeper slept on our backyard each night and, in typical goose fashion, used it as a latrine (公共厕所).My dad would spray off all the goose droppings daily.Part of this ceremony included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air so he could flap its wings and flew a loop (圈) around the house, and then came back again once the porch was clean.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
Before we knew it, the little thing had grown into a big bird with two powerful wings.__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It came as a total surprise to me when five years later, an adult goose made his way back to my family home._______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2000年,我们全家从一场运动比赛中回来,惊喜地发现车道上站着两只成年鹅和一只小鹅。成年鹅受到惊吓,慌张地飞走了,留下又小又弱的小鹅独自在原地。于是我们把它带到后院养了起来。过了一段时间,成年鹅没有带走小鹅,而小鹅也把我们当成了家人,接着我们给小鹅取了名字,叫小嘀咕。转眼间一年过去了,爸爸每天会打扫后院,把小嘀咕扔到空中,这样它就能扇动翅膀,绕着房子飞一圈,回来的时候后院就已经打扫完毕了。
根据续写的提示:第一句:不知不觉地这个小东西已经长成了一只羽翼丰满的大鸟;第二句:五年后,当一只成年鹅回到作者家时,作者完全惊呆了。
由续写第一句和第二句提示可知,小嘀咕极可能是在长大后,由于某些情况离开了家,五年后,又飞了回来。因此,续写第一段可以描写小嘀咕长大后飞走了的原因和结果,以及作者一家人的反应。而续写第二段可以描写小嘀咕回来后的变化和全家人的反应,可与第一段形成鲜明对比。最后可以升华故事的主题,由鹅到人,引出人生哲理。
需要注意的是:1.续写中作者和家人经历小嘀咕的离去和归来,其心理必然有变化,可加一些心理描写,使人物形象生动;2.本文属于人帮助动物,可以以此或从“离开后回来”升华主题。
Before we knew it, the little thing had grown into a big bird with two powerful wings. We were very happy to see Peeper's growth every day. His flying ability was getting stronger and stronger. One day, my father threw Peeper up into the air and let it fly as usual, except one thing strange—Peeper didn't fly back. We waited for a long time, but there was no sign of him. We were sad, looking at the silent sky. All the good and happy memories we had seemed gone.
It came as a total surprise to me when five years later, an adult goose made his way back to my family home. On close inspection, the adult goose behaved just like Peeper. Even though he became bigger and stronger than before, we tried to call him Peeper and see how he would react. Gladly, when he heard his name, he immediately started playing with us like the old days. My whole family jumped up with joy, because Peeper turned out to be back! For us, he was always a member of our family. This also reminds me of one thing: if only we could always be close to our family or good friends.
Passage 4 海上救援
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。
I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house.It was a sunny day—a blue, cloudless sky over a calm sea.But then, as I looked in the distance, I discovered three or four big waves heading towards the shore.I'd seen these mini-tsunamis (海啸) many times before.They were heading at high speed in the direction of the pool.Most people knew how to look out for them, but from the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I ran down into the street, holding my body board (俯伏冲浪板) on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard.My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his body board, so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea.I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us.Waiting for help wasn't a choice.I wasn't used to this sort of emergency—I'd never been trained as a lifeguard, but I didn't think twice about trying to save them.I supposed in a way I wanted to impress everyone: at 19, a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them.When we finally reached them, they were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water.We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer.I held the boy and pulled him over my board.Moises moved the girl onto his board.We discussed pushing them back to the shore, but we were too far out.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
We had to wait.______________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
作者在屋顶休息的时候发现海啸来临,有人在海边出事了,他急忙叫人打电话给海岸警卫队,同时自己和邻居Moises带着冲浪板去救人。他们发现溺水的是一男一女,海浪已经将他们带到了离岸很远的海域,而最近的救援船只也要至少30分钟以上才能到达,于是作者只能和Moises下海救人。当作者和Moises游到溺水者身边时,发现溺水者的身体状况较差,情况危急,但是他们已经离海岸太远,直接游回去已成难事。
根据续写的提示:第一句:我们只能原地等待救援;第二句:当晚,医院传来好消息,被救的两个人身体状况良好。
根据前文提示可知,作者应该是一个19岁的学生,但是他非常勇敢、热心、乐于助人。由续写第一句提示可知,作者、 Moises和溺水者由于距离海岸太远,只能原地等待救援,那么续写第一段可以围绕等待救援过程中作者的动作和心理细节展开,同时由续写第二句提示可知,溺水者已经成功获救,说明续写第一段应该要交代好他们是如何获救的。而续写第二段可以从营救成功后,作者的心理、周围人的态度和被营救者的反应等多个方面展开。
需要注意的是:前文中没有出现对话,都是以第一人称叙述整个事情的发展过程,为保持语言风格一致,续写部分不宜出现对话。
We had to wait. I held the boy tightly on my board, speaking to him from time to time. Moises also kept encouraging the girl to be strong. With time going by, all of us became tired. We floated on the sea with waves going up and down. Suddenly, we spotted a boat rushing toward us. We yelled to draw their attention. Thankfully, the people on the boat noticed us soon. With their help, we managed to put the boy and the girl on boat and sent them to a hospital.
That night, word came from the hospital that the two people were in good condition. I felt very happy because Moises and I saved them. The next day, the parents of the boy and the girl came to my home. They expressed sincere gratitude to me for what I had done. Young as I was, I proved my bravery. I realized that I could do better, so I made up my mind to take a lifeguard training course, hoping to help more people in the future.
Passage 5 淘气猫
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。
Chester was born in a cardboard box with four other cats.He was in a smaller cardboard box marked “free-kittens” when Sasha met him and took him home.From that moment on, he loved boxes.In the mornings he sat, licking (舔) his paws and fur with his tongue in the rainbow-colored sunlight.Then he would look around for a box to sleep in.
He slept in hatboxes and shipping boxes, gift boxes and takeout food boxes.He slept in Sasha's sock drawer, if she left it open.When he was a kitten, the size of a small load of bread, he had slept in shoeboxes.But he grew and grew, and now he was a lot bigger.When he tried to sleep in a shoebox, his furry tummy (肚子) hung over the sides.
Chester didn't just sit in boxes, though.Sometimes he sat in flowerpots, pans, or laundry baskets.Chester also liked to sit in the bedroom of Sasha's dollhouse, her birthday gift, with the furniture in a mess.Sasha had to redecorate the dollhouse every day, but she didn't mind as long as Chester was happy.Sasha's mom suggested Chester need a fixed house of his own, but Sasha ignored.
One day Sasha came home from school, and she couldn't find Chester.He wasn't in the dollhouse, or her sock drawer.“Mom, Dad!” Sasha yelled.“Chester is gone!”
Sasha's mom looked in the attic (阁楼).There were boxes and dust balls, and even a mouse that had escaped Chester's notice, but no Chester.Sasha's dad looked in the kitchen cabinets.There were pots and pans, and the old can of soup he thought he'd lost, but no Chester.
Suddenly, “I found him!” Sasha cried.
The big orange cat was inside her mom's new glass vase, clear glass with blue and green lines.He curled up in it, his fatty body almost jamming the vase.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
He didn't look happy at all._____________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily, not only Chester, but the vase, was still in one piece.__________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Chester是一只喜欢盒子的猫:它喜欢在各种各样的盒子里躺着、卧着或睡着。但是随着它越长越大,以前的小盒子已经装不下它了。它的主人Sasha很喜欢它,任由它自己快乐且无拘无束地活着。但是有一天回家后, Sasha发现家里到处都找不到Chester,直到Sasha看到Chester蜷缩在妈妈新买的玻璃花瓶中,肥胖的身体好似要溢出来似的。
根据续写的提示:第一句:Chester看起来很不高兴;第二句:幸运的是,Chester和花瓶都安然无恙。
根据前文提示可知,Chester失踪应该是由于贪玩而被妈妈新买的玻璃花瓶所吸引,爬进花瓶里被卡住,出不来了。而由第一句提示可知,这正是Chester不高兴的原因。接下来续写第一段可以围绕Chester被卡在花瓶里的样子和全家人的反应展开,可以与Chester不高兴的表情形成对比,加强文章的趣味性。由第二句提示可知,最终Chester和花瓶都获救了,说明续写第一段应该要交代它们获救的方式。而续写第二段可以从Chester被卡过一次之后,不敢再靠近那个玻璃花瓶展开,由此描写猫咪可爱的特点。此外,也可以描写全家人为避免同类事件的发生,采取了某些措施,比如给它弄了个固定的猫窝等。
需要注意的是:本文的主人公Chester是一只猫咪,在话语表达和细节描写上,要符合Chester贪玩、调皮、可爱的性格特点。
He didn't look happy at all. With his eyes staring at Sasha, he looked like a funny statue. All of the family members burst into laughter. It seemed that Chester was attracted by the clear glass with beautiful lines and the shape of a similar box. However, when he entered the vase, he couldn't make his way out because he was too fat. So, he was trapped in the vase. Finally, Sasha managed to pull Chester out of the vase with the help of her parents.
Luckily, not only Chester, but the vase, was still in one piece. From that day on, Chester always kept a distance with the vase because he was afraid of being caught again. Sasha also realized that she should help Chester form a good living habit, so she followed her mom's suggestion and made Chester a fixed house, which of course was in the shape of a box. Every time Sasha went back home, she would greet Chester in his box house. They all felt happy.
Passage 6 爱犬救主记
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。
60-year-old Richard Olsen had retired from his work.He was very interested in adventure and hunting.This time he hunted on a land near Watford City, N.D., in the under-populated western part of the state.In the cold winter, he tried a new spot and forgot to bring his cell phone.He hiked more than half a mile with two dogs to a harvested wheat field.
Eyes fixed in the horizon in expectation of another pheasant (野鸡) taking flight, Richard stepped on a thin crust (层) of snow on a canal.It collapsed and dropped him.
Realizing that he was in trouble and was going to hurt himself, Richard was suddenly picking up a lot of speed.His left leg hit first, and he lay on his side to reach for his shotgun, unloaded it and used it as a walking stick.When he was partly up, he slipped and slid back down, because one of his feet got stuck between two rocks.Richard told himself that if he didn't get himself out of the canal, he wasn't going to have a very good night.
Richard walked his foot free and climbed more slowly and cautiously out of the canal.Richard immediately realized the difficulty of the task before him.The accident occurred at about 2 p.m., and it was nearly 5 p.m.with the road far away and the sun setting.
Richard focused on crawling(爬) to safety.Even with his gun's support, hopping (单脚跳) was impractical.Instead, he sat down and pushed himself backward less than 40 inches at a time with his good leg.He was stubborn and sure that he must hold on.Temperatures dropped below zero overnight, and his gloves and boots got wet.His hands and feet soon were completely numb.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
Richard's dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the sixth car passed without stopping, his heart sank in despair. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Richard Olsen退休后喜欢带着两条狗进行冒险和打猎活动。有一天出发时,他忘了带手机,后来遇到了麻烦。他不小心踩空,滑落到河里,一条腿被石头卡住受伤了,经过长时间挣扎,Richard摆脱了岩石但依然无法成功自救,直到夜幕降临,Richard也无法脱险。气温降到了零度以下,他的手脚都已冻僵,情况十分危急。
根据续写的提示:第一句:Richard的两条狗现在一直在田野中玩耍,这时才跑到了主人的跟前;第二句:第六辆车经过了,也没停下来,此时Richard陷入绝望。
文章强调Richard一直没有放弃,竭尽全力自救,所以在续写里也必须体现这一点,可以写他继续尝试自救。由第一句提示可知,Richard的两条狗可以在他获救的过程中发挥比较关键的作用,因此,续写第一段可以描写狗狗协助Richard脱离险境的过程。但根据第二句提示可知,转机变成了绝望。那么,续写第二段可以描写Richard绝望后又找到新办法,而这个新办法可以与车和狗有关,最终Richard获救。这个思路概括起来就是,出现转机—绝望—新的转机—结局获救。
需要注意的是:1.原文未出现对话,对心理活动的描写较多,在风格上需要尽量跟前文保持一致;2.续写的两段里Richard的性格特点必须跟所给原文一致,体现他是一个具有冒险精神和意志坚强的人;3.续写第一段中 Richard的两条狗为他带来转机,但是续写第二段中Richard又陷入绝望,故两段之间的衔接要好好构思,合理过渡剧情。
Richard's dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him. Richard shivered with excitement when seeing his two friends. The dogs tried to help but failed. Richard was still stuck at the place where he could see passing cars on the road far away, so he realized he needed the help of somebody else. Raising one of his numb hands, Richard pointed at the road, saying, “Go! Get someone here.” A dog seemed to get his order, and he ran to the road and began barking loudly to the passing cars. Unfortunately, no car noticed and stopped.
When the sixth car passed without stopping, his heart sank in despair. He heard an inner voice telling him that he might die here. Suddenly, one of his wet gloves was pulled off by the other dog. It dawned on him that there was one more thing he could do! Richard let his dog bite his glove and pointed at the road again. The clever dog ran to the road, carrying the glove. When spotting a passing car, Richard held up his shotgun and fired at the sky. The car stopped and Richard breathed a sigh of relief!
Passage 7 冰湖遇险记
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。
About a half-mile behind our Minnesota farm lay a pond.In summer, my brother Harry and I would run through a stand of oak trees to skip stones there.The pond wore a collar of black mud.It was not a place for swimming.
In late summer, the pond would be covered by a green and bubbly scum (起泡的浮渣).Sometimes a strong, unpleasant smell rose from it.We stayed away.
When winter came, the pond was once again an inviting place.One day when ice covered it, Harry said to me, “Try walking across.”
The ice looked solid.No water showed through it, but I hesitated.“Go ahead.” Harry urged.“Try it.You're lighter than I am.If the ice holds, we can run and slide carefully on it.It'll be fun.” I wanted to please Harry, and I thought about the fun of a long slide on the ice.I began to slide across the pond.
In the middle of the pond, the ice gave way with a sudden crack (裂缝)! I stretched out my arms.The next thing I knew I was hanging on to the edge of a hole in the ice by arms outstretched on the ice.From my shoulders down I hung in icy water.I thought of the bottom of the pond.I knew it would be black and awful down there, full of mud and maybe rotting creatures.
I tried to climb out of the hole, but when I got a knee on the ice, it broke like window glass.Again and again I tried to get out.Again and again the ice broke into pieces.The hole widened.I was wearing a coat of heavy material.As it became completely wet, it dragged me down.I was tired of the struggle and rested with my arms stretched out on the ice.
I looked at Harry on shore.He seemed rooted to the spot.“I can't get out!” I screamed when I caught some breath.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
Harry turned and ran from the pond.______________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The moment I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, Mom rushed over._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
作者回忆了一件童年时期的难以忘记的惨痛经历。作者经常和兄弟Harry去一个池塘边玩耍,但是那个池塘很脏。只有到冬天时,水面结冰,池塘才吸引人想去玩耍。一天,作者被Harry怂恿去结冰的池塘上滑冰,结果因为冰面突然裂开,导致作者掉进了池塘里。作者努力挣扎想要爬出来,但却爬不出来,只能向岸边的Harry呼救。
根据续写的提示:第一句:Harry转身跑开了;第二句:作者哭着跌跌撞撞回到家,妈妈冲了过来。
由续写第一句提示可知,Harry转身跑开了,但是这并不意味着Harry之后没有回来帮助作者,因此,续写第一段可以先从作者落入水中后身体上的难受和内心上的惊恐展开。由续写第二句提示可知,作者最终获救了,所以在续写第一段也要交代作者获救的方式,这可以是Harry喊来了大人帮忙,也可以是作者自救。续写第二段可以围绕作者回到家后和妈妈的互动展开,包括事情发生的原委和妈妈对孩子的安全教育。
需要注意的是:1.前文用了较多篇幅来描述池塘的卫生状况很差,但并未详细说明池塘的深浅程度,而且根据续写第二句提示可知,作者最终脱险了,因此在续写的部分可以不用太强调水深,与原文描写保持一致即可;2.续写中可以多运用动作描写和心理描写,生动形象地展示作者获救的过程。
Harry turned and ran from the pond. I shouted desperately, “Don't leave me alone! Help! Help!” Seeing him disappear in the oak trees, I couldn't stop crying. The icy water made me tremble and I felt colder and colder. I didn't want to lose my life in the dirty pond, so I tried to lift my legs and kick the icy water to make myself float up. Meanwhile, I crawled on the ice with my elbows. After some tiring attempts, I finally climbed out of the water.
The moment I crashed through the kitchen door, sobbing, Mom rushed over. “What happened?” she asked anxiously. I told her that I had fallen into the pond. She hurried to find me a dry blanket and helped me take off the wet clothes. I couldn't believe Harry would abandon me even though I knew he was scared, too. Because of his betrayal, I decided not to play with him for a time. My mom warned me not to get close to the pond any longer. Definitely, I didn't want to play around any pond after the miserable experience.
Passage 8 小猫救主人
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 Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online.So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived.I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there.I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes.There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there?
We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away.They accurately guessed we would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
My husband called her our little angel, so we named her Angelica accordingly.She had a calm aura (气质) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly.It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us.She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion.Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten.Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear.Angelica was courageous.
So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too.There was an underground stone cellar (地窖) I had been eager to explore.The only way to get in was down a rickety (摇晃的) ladder to its murky depths.I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep.
I had promised my husband that I wouldn't explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around.Though I knew I was stretching it, I figured that Angelica would count as my companion.I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she.
I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes, and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above.Faint crack and sudden crash were what I could remember.
1.续写的词数应为150个左右;2.请按照如下的格式在相应位置作答。
I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor._________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope.________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
本文讲述了作者搬进新家后的一天迎来了一只小猫的到访。作者和丈夫都非常喜欢这只猫,并给她起名为Angelica。作者一直渴望探索新家下面的地窖,于是趁丈夫出差之际,和Angelica开始了她们的探索。不料作者从梯子上摔下,最终在Angelica的帮助下,手机成功联网从而获救的故事。
根据续写的提示:第一句:我醒来的时候,发现腐烂的、破碎的梯子的碎片躺在我周围的石头地窖的地板上;第二句:似乎我的同伴 Angelica 是我最后的希望。
由续写第一段首句内容“我醒来时发现地下室的石头地板上到处都是腐烂的梯子碎片。”可知,第一段可描写作者醒来后如何自救。由续写第二段首句内容“看来我的同伴Angelica是我最后的希望。”可知,第二段可描写Angelica如何帮助作者获救。
需要注意的是:1.续写可以采用下面的线索:找亮光——掷手机——手机联网——呼救——获救;2.续写中可以多运用动作描写和心理描写,生动形象地展示作者获救的过程。
I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor. My flashlight was broken, as were my eyeglasses and my phone. I turned on the phone and it lit up! Sadly, however, no signal. If only I could get the still-functioning phone up through the door, it might connect to the Internet, so I could shout at Siri from down below for help. In the daylight, I could make out Angelica was mewing at me from above.
It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope. She kept her eye on me. Waving the phone, I instructed “Angelica! Catch it!” With a deep breath and a silent prayer, I cast the phone upward. Miraculously, Angelica managed to catch it with her paws as it shot through the door and lay it right by the entrance. Once it connected to the Internet, I yelled at Siri to call emergency services. With them on the line, I screamed out my situation. When heavy footsteps came near, I knew I was saved. I no longer wonder if it was Angelica who rang the doorbell that day.
Passage 9 父亲最爱的花
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。
My Dad's Best Flower
I remember my first home was a small apartment on the second floor with a lovely and spacious balcony.When my mom was busy in the kitchen, she let me stay on the balcony watching the kids playing in the street.On that balcony I played sometimes with my elder sister, Maria.She was seven years old and when my mom was absent, she was like a mother to me.The balcony was a great hobby place for my father.After his work he used to grow carnations (康乃馨) in flower boxes.His carnations were red, pink and white, and everyone appreciated them for their beauty.
He took care of them with so much love and devotion.He dealt carefully with his flowers like a mother taking care of her baby.Many times I sat on the floor of the balcony for hours observing him and his lovely flowers with patience.He was always doing something on that balcony.He was watering them every day, cleaning the balcony floor, changing the potting soil and when the stems were thick, strong and high enough, he started his improvement operation attentively like a doctor.
My dad took a tiny knife and with his left hand he held the stem of the carnation and measured the height.Then he made a small mark on the stem with his finger.Afterwards he made a sharp cut with the knife, just enough to fit in again of barley (插穗的芽).Then he bandaged the stem with a small bandage.His job was then to water the plants and to take care of them.“No one should touch them,” he said to Mom.Every day, when he came home from work he went straight to the balcony.
Mom used to tell us, “Do not touch Daddy's flowers.” For us it was a fascinating experience to watch how the small stems were growing and making flowers.When the carnations had grown big enough, my dad enjoyed watching them every day.We the kids did, too.

One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals.________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
通过阅读所给文章可知,作者家有一个阳台,这个阳台是他和姐姐玩耍的小天地,但更是爸爸养植他心爱花的地方。爸爸每天下班回家就会去阳台那里照料他的花朵。
根据续写的提示:第一句:一天,非常爱爸爸的姐姐想到了一个好主意。第二句:当我爸爸到达时,他像往常一样径直走到阳台,看到他的花像动物死尸一样躺在地板上。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:一天,非常爱爸爸的姐姐有了一个好的主意……,所以应该写姐姐的这个主意是什么,应该怎么做来实现这个想法。要详细描述姐姐有这样想法的原因,姐姐和作者怎么做,做了什么来实现这个姐姐的这个想法。第二段开头是:爸爸回家后,像往常一样直奔阳台,看到了他的花像死去的动物一样躺在那里……,这里应该写爸爸看到阳台的一片狼藉后做了些什么。爸爸看到阳台的花被弄得一片狼藉,感到十分愤怒,找到作者和姐姐质问他们为什么会变成这样,勇敢的姐姐解释了这样做的初衷,但因为意外导致现在这样的状况并向爸爸道歉,当他们忐忑地等待着爸爸的责骂时,爸爸却是感动地把他们揽在怀里深情地说道:“你们就是我最好的花朵。”
One day, my elder sister, who loved Dad very much, had a great idea. She proposed us to pick the best out of the carnations so that Dad could appreciate it forever than have to plant it hard. We went to the balcony, hoping to select out the best and most lovely one. While doing so, however, Maria accidentally fell, bruising her knees. What was worse, many flowers were also knocked down, leaving the balcony in a mess and the majority of the flowers out of shape. Despite this, we managed to pick the very flowers we wanted and waited nervously and uneasily for the father's arrival and his response.
When my dad arrived, he went as usual, straight to the balcony and saw his flowers lying on the floor like dead animals. In no time, he got annoyed and stormed into our room, questioning us in glare who it was that made such a mess of his flowers. Instead of crying, brave Maria held out the flowers and explained what we meant to do and how it ended up this way. She was afraid that Dad might punish her, but at the same time she hoped that Dad would smile at our warm actions. Deeply touched, Dad held the flowers tightly and gently, and immediately gathered us into his arms, saying, “You are my best flowers!”
Passage 10 救助乌龟
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。
Alex rode his bike along the country road that led to his house.As he rounded a bend, the tips of the cattails(香蒲) that grew around Johnson's Pond came into view.His dad took him canoeing (划独木舟) there sometimes, and Alex loved it.The pond was always alive with activity.Frogs sang along the shore, and sometimes Alex discovered turtles (乌龟) sunbathing on sunny rocks.
Alex was curious about the turtles.When it was too rainy to go canoeing, he often went to the library to check out books on turtles.Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.And then, the rock started to move.When he rode his bike up to get a closer look, he saw that it wasn't a rock at all.It was a large turtle slowly crossing the road.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.He had read that snapping turtles lay their eggs on the land away from the water.It was spring and he guessed lots of turtles would be busy laying eggs.He also knew a snapping turtle has a powerful bite.So he stood at a distance and watched the turtle move slowly over the road.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn't pick it up to move it safely to the grass.What could he do?
Thinking fast, he started jumping up and down and waved the car down.Alex pointed at the moving turtle and said to the driver, “I'm just trying to save it.” The driver applauded his efforts.Seeing the car pulling away, Alex thought, “I couldn't stand there all day trying to stop cars.” Suddenly, a road sign caught his eye.His face brightened.

He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad._________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car._______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
在骑车回家的时候,Alex经过了Johnson的池塘。有时候,他经常和父亲在那里划独木舟,有时还会遇到在洒满阳光的岩石上晒太阳的乌龟。所以Alex常去图书馆看关于乌龟的书籍。此时,在路的前方,Alex看见了一只横穿马路的乌龟。而一辆汽车朝着乌龟驶来,Alex挥手拦下了这辆汽车,确保了乌龟的安全。他不可能一直站在这里,所以他需要解决这个问题。
根据续写的提示:第一句:他跳上自行车,跑回家找爸爸;第二句:第二天早上,爸爸和Alex开车带着车里的木牌去了池塘。
根据续写第一段首句可知,材料的结尾指向了该故事的冲突——如何保护横穿马路的乌龟不被过往汽车伤害。按照故事发展逻辑及续写第一段首句中给出的Dad可知,Alex的办法应该和爸爸有关。因此,本段应侧重描写Alex向爸爸寻求帮助的内容。结合材料结尾的a road sign和续写第二段首句中给出的the wooden sign可知,Alex的办法应该和制作警示木牌有关。续写第一段首句中给出的jumped on和raced表明了Alex想要解决问题的急切心情。因此,续写部分应适当描写Alex的迫切心情。
续写第二段首句中的drove to the pond with the wooden sign 表明,本段应主要描写Alex和爸爸安装木牌的内容。根据材料中的Alex loved it和Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.以及续写第二段首句中给出的The next morning可知,续写第二段应提及Alex与爸爸去划独木舟的相关内容,才能实现材料和续写内容的协同,使故事结构完整。
注意:在写作时,应该注意保证故事中矛盾的冲突,同时也要保证情节的完整。
He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad. “Dad, can I have some old wood to make a wooden sign?” Alex asked eagerly. Hearing Alex's explanation, Dad smiled knowingly. Alex couldn't wait to make one. He asked Dad to help him cut a wooden board into the “T” shape immediately. Then, he wrote down a line on both sides, reading. “Slow! Turtles Crossing!” With the work all done they put the wooden sign into their car.
The next morning, Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car. Upon arriving, they sprang into action. Together, Alex and his dad lifted the wooden sign out of the car and hammered it into the ground by the side of the road. Then Alex stepped back and surveyed their work. “Slow! Turtles Crossing!” he read out loud with pride. “Are you ready to go canoeing?” said Dad. “Yes!” Alex shouted, rushing to the pond by which he saw the cattails dancing rhythmically in the wind as if showing their approval of what Alex had done.
Passage 1
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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends.He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁).He believed he was practically an adult.I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don't trust me!” he yelled.Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away.I sighed.How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe?
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head.I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball.“Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms.I walked back in, touching her neck gently.Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, mewing to go back outside.
“Why won't she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go.He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low.Meatball stood at the door, mewing to go outside.I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death.She stared at me and mewed again.I patted her head, “I know you're not happy, but it's for your own good.”
“Mom's not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat.“She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn't find Meatball.I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.

文章讲述了作者的儿子抱怨作者不让他晚上外出,但是在通过猫被夜里放出而差点被冻死的事情后,他儿子终于明白作者不让他出去是为了他的安全着想。1.由续写第一段首句内容“Jordan点点头,‘我昨晚放她出来的。’”可知,第一段可描写猫被放出去后他们去寻找的过程以及猫被找到后的状态。2.由续写第二段首句内容“当我开车去动物医院的时候,Jordan坐在后面,把肉球放在外套里。”可知,第二段可描写他们将猫送去救治的过程以及Jordan的懊悔。

My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night?” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”

I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball's back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It's for our own good. ”

The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old.He was at home with his elder sister Jane.Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices.At first, he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” Someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air.When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate,a thick cloud of smoke greeted him.The motorcycle shop had caught fire, and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room.They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track.She turned around and headed back the way they came.Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie.Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer.As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas (睡衣) —running for safety.The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She might have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up.“I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping.She pounded the door.“Go downstairs.Go now! Go!”

He was so scared that he pounded the door with Jane. “Makcik! Makcik! Fire! Fire!” They shouted while hitting the door. At last,the door was open and Makick went out clumsily. Seeing the heavy smoke and bright flame, the old lady knew she must leave as soon as possible,but she was too old to run. Jane quickly went towards her and held her right arm with Tom holding her left arm. They moved anxiously towards the exit.
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. _________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They noticed an old lady was held by two children, so some gave the wet towels to Makcik to cover her mouth, and some replaced Jane and Tom to support Makcik to move faster. Thanks to the neighbors' help, Makcik was safe and sound. It was because of Jane's insistence that Makcik was rescued. The neighbors praised Jane and Tom for helping Makcik. Tom felt very proud of his sister, making up his mind to be as a brave and considerate teen as Jane.
