I’ll always remember the first time I tried ballet. My mother was a dancer and I wanted nothing more than to be like her, but after making mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to quit right away. However, I told my mum I couldn’t wait to dance again because it was only my first day.
Weeks passed and my dancing didn’t get any better. Then my dance teacher announced that we were going to perform in a show. I was scared of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and disappointing my mum.
Even though I practised hard for the show, I never quite got the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mum to tell her how I felt. She simply laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet.
My mum quickly discovered how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be.
The music began and my heart started to race. Breathing calmly, I began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed in excitement.
My mum found me and gave me a huge hug, telling me how proud she was. I looked my mum in the eye and told her that there was no way this could have happened without her. Through this, I realized one important fact: My mum will always be there to catch me if I fall.
4. What happened to the author on her first day of ballet?
A. She made no mistakes while dancing. B. She fell down and hurt herself.
C. She lied to her mum about liking ballet. D. She realized she was talented in ballet.
5. What does the underlined phrase “got the hang of it” mean?
A. Lost interest in it. B. Learned to do it well.
C. Jumped high in the air. D. Had trouble with it.
6. How did the mother respond when the author expressed her difficulties in ballet?
A. She encouraged her to quit and pursue something else.
B. She simply laughed and ignored her concerns completely.
C. She blamed her strictly for not practising enough.
D. She offered to teach her everything she knew about ballet.
7. What did the author learn from her ballet experience?
A. Never try something you are not good at.
B. Don’t be afraid of disappointing others.
C. Every mum will be proud of their children’s achievements.
D. A mother’s love is pure and unconditional.
C
Children are starting on digital devices at ever younger ages, and opinions on the effects of children's digital-media habits are deeply polarised.(两极分化的).
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor, thinks excessive use of the internet and social media makes children lonely and depressed and poses serious risks to their physical and particularly their mental health, sometimes to the point of driving them to suicide.
However, Daniel Kardefelt-Winther of the Innocenti research office of Unicef examined various evidence and found less cause for alarm than is often suggested.Most of the studies he examined seem to show that the technology helps children stay in touch with their friends and make new ones.
The relationship between the use of digital technology and children's mental health, broadly speaking, appears to be u-shaped.Researchers have found that moderate use is beneficial, whereas either no use at all or extreme use could be harmful.
What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury( 武器 ) for perpetuating( 巩固 ) social advantage.Children from well-off homes are enrolled in private classes to learn skills like "How to be a YouTuber", which poorer parents cannot afford.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The disadvantages of overusing digital media.
B. The bad effects of using digital media.
C. Several bad impacts of using digital media.
D. The advantages of overusing digital media.
9. What is Daniel Kardefelt-Winther’s attitude to the use of digital media?
A. Objective B. Favorable
C. Indifferent D. Uncertain
10. What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A. Not all Children from rich homes can attend private classes
B. Not all Children from poor homes can learn skills like“how to be a YouTuber”.
C. Digital media is the only way of strengthening the middle-class.
D. Digital media can widen class gap.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Should children interact with digital media ?
B. Should parents allow their children interact with digital media?
C. What children do to interact with digital devices.
D. How children interact with digital devices.
D
Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct(已灭绝的) animals into the real world.
US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo—a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century.
“[The place] to reintroduce the dodo into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty(新奇), is thought to potentially bring benefits to the endemic (地方性的) plants and other animals that already live there.
Having discovered the genetic code(基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains, the company seeks to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pigeon(尼柯巴鸠) will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review.
The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths(猛犸象). They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra(苔原) into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands by cating the grass, according to The New Yorker.
However, some people are skeptical. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.
Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon.
12. What do we know about dodos, according to the text?
A. They were native to the island of Mauritius. B. They died out around the 19th century.
C. They will be reintroduced into India. D. They could help slow down climate change.
13. What will be used as the genetic base for dodos?
A The remains of the dodo. B. The Nicobar pigeon.
C. The mammoth. D. The current DNA data bank.
14. Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans?
A. They think extinct animals are not important.
B. They think the plans will not work in practice.
C. They believe the plans go against nature.
D. They believe protecting existing species is more necessary.
15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the reintroduction of extinct animals?
A. It’s worth trying. B. It sounds risky.
C. It will bring many benefits. D. It still has a long way to go.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life! It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. ____16____ Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That’s just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it’s time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better.
“My life’s a mess. I just wish I could disappear”; “Why do these things always happen to me?” Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. ____17____
So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame. ____18____ Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don’t lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It’s not all about you.
No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should. ____19____ If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.
____20____ And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It’s time to take control of your life.
A. So keep these tips in mind.
B. Things don’t always go our way.
C. Things are never as bad as they seem.
D. Open your mind to other possibilities.
E. If others let you down, be kind to them.
F. There’s nothing you can do to change the past.
G. But it doesn’t mean your teacher doesn’t like you.

He stood up and said I could take his ____26____ for a while. I pleasantly accepted it with a sigh of ____27____ , and the man seemed happy too. After about 20 minutes, I____28____ him to take back his space. A man who was sitting by the window had observed our ____29____.
Just then, something magical happened. Our observer stood up and ____30____ his seat to another standing man. Unexpectedly, we had caused a series of reactions: This game of seat-sharing ____31____ through the bus like wildfi re and, before long, almost all the standees got a
chance to be seated. People even started ____32____ each other while exchanging positions, and soon began sharing jokes and singing. I could say, the rest of the journey was quite ____33____.
The bus reached its destination the next morning. The groups quickly said goodbye and went their ____34____. But this extraordinary ____35____ has stayed with me even after all these years.

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Miguel opened the door to his grandpa’s shoe shop. Grandpa was drawing a customer’s foot onto a piece of paper. He didn’t look up. Miguel sat down. He looked at the cut leather, hammer (锤子) and pliers (钳子).
The tools reminded Miguel of something else he loved. Grandpa always gave him a piece of candy whenever Miguel helped clean up. Miguel knew he wasn’t supposed to take candy without asking. But he was hungry then. It looked like Grandpa would be busy for a while. “Maybe I don’t need to wait,” Miguel thought.
Miguel reached secretly for the candy box. He hurried and put it in his mouth. Pretty soon the customer left. Grandpa was busy picking up a piece of leather and putting it in some water. Miguel ate the rest of the candy as fast as he could. Then he walked over to Grandpa.
Grandpa looked up from his work. “Hello!” he said with a smile. Miguel hugged Grandpa. He hoped Grandpa couldn’t tell he’d eaten a piece of candy. “It looks like you’re busy today” Miguel said. “Do you need any help?” “Sure! Could you pass me that thread (线)?” Miguel nodded. He pulled it between his hands. “Wow, that’s strong.” Miguel said. Grandpa laughed, “It has to be, to last through the wear and tear of life.” Grandpa pulled the thread through the leather.
“You know, we need to be more like this shoe,” Grandpa said. Miguel looked at the leather, “Um. We do?” “Yes, indeed. We need to stay strong. That way temptations (诱惑) won’t make us fall apart,” Grandpa said with a nod.
Miguel suddenly thought of the candy. He knew he should tell Grandpa about it. Grandpa took an old shoe off the shelf, “See this big hole?” Miguel nodded. “This was once a small hole that could have been fixed easily. But the owner waited, and now it’s going to be much harder to fix. Bad habits and bad choices are like that hole. It is best to fix them early.”
Paragraph 1:
They kept talking as Grandpa worked.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Miguel told him all about taking the candy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I’ll always remember the first time I tried ballet. My mother was a dancer and I wanted nothing more than to be like her, but after making mistakes during my first class, I felt like I wanted to quit right away. However, I told my mum I couldn’t wait to dance again because it was only my first day.
Weeks passed and my dancing didn’t get any better. Then my dance teacher announced that we were going to perform in a show. I was scared of falling on my face in front of hundreds of people and disappointing my mum.
Even though I practised hard for the show, I never quite got the hang of it. Finally, I went to my mum to tell her how I felt. She simply laughed and told me she would teach me all she knew about ballet.
My mum quickly discovered how bad at ballet I was, but she still taught me with the greatest patience, love and understanding. When I jumped and fell, she was there to catch me. When I lost my balance, she held me up. By the time the show arrived, I was as prepared as I could be.
The music began and my heart started to race. Breathing calmly, I began moving to the music without missing a step. When the music stopped, I ran off the stage and laughed in excitement.
My mum found me and gave me a huge hug, telling me how proud she was. I looked my mum in the eye and told her that there was no way this could have happened without her. Through this, I realized one important fact: My mum will always be there to catch me if I fall.

Children are starting on digital devices at ever younger ages, and opinions on the effects of children's digital-media habits are deeply polarised.(两极分化的).
Jean Twenge, a psychology professor, thinks excessive use of the internet and social media makes children lonely and depressed and poses serious risks to their physical and particularly their mental health, sometimes to the point of driving them to suicide.
However, Daniel Kardefelt-Winther of the Innocenti research office of Unicef examined various evidence and found less cause for alarm than is often suggested.Most of the studies he examined seem to show that the technology helps children stay in touch with their friends and make new ones.
The relationship between the use of digital technology and children's mental health, broadly speaking, appears to be u-shaped.Researchers have found that moderate use is beneficial, whereas either no use at all or extreme use could be harmful.
What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury( 武器 ) for perpetuating( 巩固 ) social advantage.Children from well-off homes are enrolled in private classes to learn skills like "How to be a YouTuber", which poorer parents cannot afford.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The disadvantages of overusing digital media.
B. The bad effects of using digital media.
C. Several bad impacts of using digital media.
D. The advantages of overusing digital media.
9. What is Daniel Kardefelt-Winther’s attitude to the use of digital media?
A. Objective B. Favorable
C. Indifferent D. Uncertain
10. What can you infer from the last paragraph?
A. Not all Children from rich homes can attend private classes
B. Not all Children from poor homes can learn skills like“how to be a YouTuber”.
C. Digital media is the only way of strengthening the middle-class.
D. Digital media can widen class gap.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Should children interact with digital media ?
B. Should parents allow their children interact with digital media?
C. What children do to interact with digital devices.
D. How children interact with digital devices.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A

【分析】本文属于议论文,介绍儿童使用智能设备的年龄越来越小,但是其影响有不同的观点。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。本段主要讲述长期使用智能设备,会让孩子感到孤独和抑郁,会造成长期的身体或心理影响,甚至导致儿童自杀,故可知本段讲述智能设备对儿童造成的不利影响,故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段However, Daniel Kardefelt-Winther of the Innocenti research office of Unicef examined various evidence and found less cause for alarm than is often suggested. Most of the studies he examined seem to show that the technology helps children stay in touch with their friends and make new ones.可知,Daniel Kardefelt-Winther查看了不同的证据,发现造成的不利影响的原因更少,而他发现儿童使用科技来与朋友保持联系,以及结交新朋友,故可知此人对儿童使用电子设备的态度是支持的,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段What worries some experts more is that screens are becoming part of the middle-class armoury( 武器 ) for perpetuating( 巩固 ) social advantage.可知,让专家担忧的是,电子设备似乎正在成为中产阶级巩固其地位的一种武器,比如中产阶级会能够支付私教课程,比如怎样成为Youtube的网红,故可知,电子设备可能会扩大阶级差距,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。介绍儿童使用智能设备的年龄越来越小,但是其影响有不同的观点。有人认为会对孩子造成消极影响,但是有人认为会让孩子保持与朋友的联系甚至结交新朋友,故选A。
【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。
1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题,标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。
2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时,我们可以:读首句抓大意;读尾句抓大意;读首尾段抓大意。
3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词,任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的,因此,有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词,即高频词,也叫做主题词。抓住了它,便容易抓住文章的中心。
比如小题4,主旨大意题。介绍儿童使用智能设备的年龄越来越小,但是其影响有不同的观点。有人认为会对孩子造成消极影响,但是有人认为会让孩子保持与朋友的联系甚至结交新朋友,故选A。
D
Could animals from the past one day walk among us? One company is now looking to introduce extinct(已灭绝的) animals into the real world.
US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo—a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century.
“[The place] to reintroduce the dodo into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty(新奇), is thought to potentially bring benefits to the endemic (地方性的) plants and other animals that already live there.
Having discovered the genetic code(基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains, the company seeks to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pigeon(尼柯巴鸠) will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review.
The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021, it announced its plans to bring back mammoths(猛犸象). They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra(苔原) into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands by cating the grass, according to The New Yorker.
However, some people are skeptical. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.
Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon.
12. What do we know about dodos, according to the text?
A. They were native to the island of Mauritius. B. They died out around the 19th century.
C. They will be reintroduced into India. D. They could help slow down climate change.
13. What will be used as the genetic base for dodos?
A. The remains of the dodo. B. The Nicobar pigeon.
C. The mammoth. D. The current DNA data bank.
14. Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans?
A. They think extinct animals are not important.
B. They think the plans will not work in practice.
C. They believe the plans go against nature.
D. They believe protecting existing species is more necessary.
15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the reintroduction of extinct animals?
A. It’s worth trying. B. It sounds risky.
C. It will bring many benefits. D. It still has a long way to go.
【答案】12 A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo—a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. (美国Colossal Biosciences公司于1月31日宣布,将努力让渡渡鸟复活,渡渡鸟是一种原产于印度洋毛里求斯岛的大型鸟类。)”可知,根据文章,渡渡鸟原产于毛里求斯岛。故选A。
【13题详解】

【14题详解】
细节理解题。文章倒数第二段讲到“However, some people are skeptical. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.( 然而,有些人持怀疑态度。据英国广播公司《科学焦点》报道,目前有三分之一的鸟类物种正在减少,因此比以往任何时候都更需要保护现有物种的策略,而不是关注过去的动物。)”可知,有些人对庞大的生物科学计划持怀疑态度是因为他们认为保护现有物种更有必要。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon. (尽管缺乏共识,但这一科学奇迹是否真的能实现还有待观察。现实生活中的侏罗纪公园不太可能很快开放。)”可知,作者认为重新引入灭绝动物仍然有很长的路要走。故选D。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life! It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. ____16____ Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That’s just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it’s time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better.
“My life’s a mess. I just wish I could disappear”; “Why do these things always happen to me?” Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. ____17____
So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame. ____18____ Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don’t lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It’s not all about you.
No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should. ____19____ If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.
____20____ And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It’s time to take control of your life.
A. So keep these tips in mind.
B. Things don’t always go our way.
C. Things are never as bad as they seem.
D. Open your mind to other possibilities.
E. If others let you down, be kind to them.
F. There’s nothing you can do to change the past.
G. But it doesn’t mean your teacher doesn’t like you.

上文“So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should.(所以不要指望生活总是按照你想象的方式发展。)”指出不要指望生活总是按照你想象的方式发展,下文“If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.(如果你没有达到自己的期望,请善待自己。)”具体举例子,如果生活没有按照你想象的方式发展,我们该如何做,空处也应是具体例子,E项“如果别人让你失望,善待他们。”符合,和下文是并列关系,故选E。
【20题详解】
下文“And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. (下次当生活没有完全按照你想要的方式发展时,尝试使用一两个。)”指出当生活没有完全按照你想要的方式发展时,尝试使用一两个上文提到的建议,根据其中的use one or two可知,空处应该是指出“这些建议”,A项“所以请记住这些建议。”符合,呼吁人们使用这些建议,总结前文内容。故选A。

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Miguel opened the door to his grandpa’s shoe shop. Grandpa was drawing a customer’s foot onto a piece of paper. He didn’t look up. Miguel sat down. He looked at the cut leather, hammer (锤子) and pliers (钳子).
The tools reminded Miguel of something else he loved. Grandpa always gave him a piece of candy whenever Miguel helped clean up. Miguel knew he wasn’t supposed to take candy without asking. But he was hungry then. It looked like Grandpa would be busy for a while. “Maybe I don’t need to wait,” Miguel thought.
Miguel reached secretly for the candy box. He hurried and put it in his mouth. Pretty soon the customer left. Grandpa was busy picking up a piece of leather and putting it in some water. Miguel ate the rest of the candy as fast as he could. Then he walked over to Grandpa.
Grandpa looked up from his work. “Hello!” he said with a smile. Miguel hugged Grandpa. He hoped Grandpa couldn’t tell he’d eaten a piece of candy. “It looks like you’re busy today,” Miguel said. “Do you need any help?” “Sure! Could you pass me that thread (线)?” Miguel nodded. He pulled it between his hands. “Wow, that’s strong.” Miguel said. Grandpa laughed, “It has to be, to last through the wear and tear of life.” Grandpa pulled the thread through the leather.
“You know, we need to be more like this shoe,” Grandpa said. Miguel looked at the leather, “Um. We do?” “Yes, indeed. We need to stay strong. That way temptations (诱惑) won’t make us fall apart,” Grandpa said with a nod.
Miguel suddenly thought of the candy. He knew he should tell Grandpa about it. Grandpa took an old shoe off the shelf, “See this big hole?” Miguel nodded. “This was once a small hole that could have been fixed easily. But the owner waited, and now it’s going to be much harder to fix. Bad habits and bad choices are like that hole. It is best to fix them early.”
Paragraph 1:
They kept talking as Grandpa worked.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Miguel told him all about taking the candy __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
They kept talking as Grandpa worked. The whole time, Miguel kept thinking about the candy. When Grandpa finished, Miguel helped him clean up. Then Grandpa reached for his box of candy as usual. Finally, Miguel couldn’t take it anymore. “I took one piece of your candy without asking,” he said and hung his head in shame. Grandpa set down the box in surprise and wondered what had actually happened.
Miguel told him all about taking the candy. “I’m so sorry, Grandpa! I’ll never do it again. I promise!” Grandpa hugged Miguel and kissed him lovingly. Miguel felt so much better. “Thank you for being honest. That’s more important to me than just about anything else.” On the way home, Miguel felt just like one of Grandpa’s new pairs of shoes, strong and ready for life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Miguel去爷爷的修鞋店,看到爷爷很忙,于是没有问爷爷就自己偷偷的拿了一只糖果吃了,然后走向爷爷。爷爷用修鞋的事情给Miguel讲了一个道理,我们应该保持坚强,不受诱惑,并且用鞋上的洞比喻坏习惯,应该尽早解决,这也让Miguel想到了他偷吃糖果的事情。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“爷爷干活的时候,他们一直在聊天。”可知,第一段可描写Miguel想向爷爷坦白偷吃糖果的事情,并且最终说出了这件事。
②由第二段首句内容“Miguel把拿糖果的事都告诉他了。”可知,第二段可描写Miguel讲述了偷吃糖果的事情,爷爷夸赞了他的诚实。
2.续写线索:和爷爷聊天——一直想着偷吃糖果这件事——终于说出这件事——讲述过程——表示抱歉——爷爷欣慰——Miguel感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.考虑,想着:think about/think of
②.打扫:clean up /do out
③.放下:set down /put down
情绪类
①.感谢:thank/show one’s gratitude/be grateful
②.惊讶地:in surprise / surprisingly
【点睛】

[高分句型2]. Grandpa set down the box in surprise and wondered what had actually happened.(由连接词what连接的宾语从句作wondered的宾语)
