阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Amazing lost places around the world
Kolmanskop
Once the richest town in Africa, today Kolmanskop is sinking into the Namibian desert. The discovery of diamonds here around 100 years ago caused this remote place to experience a boom (繁荣), and in no time at all, an entire town reveal itself out of the sand. Not only was there a hospital, a power plant and a theatre, but also an ice factory and a swimming pool—all in the middle of the desert!
The Aniva lighthouse
Built by the Japanese on a small island between Japan and Russia, the Aniva lighthouse and its island went to the Russians after the Second World War. Though dynamic once, the seven-storey building has lain abandoned for years. Where once noisy diesel (柴油) generators kept the machinery running, today there’s only the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
Houtouwan
Houtouwan on Shengshan Island was once home to around 2,000 fishermen and their families. Today most of the people you meet in this Chinese village are tourists. The majority of the inhabitants (居民) left for the mainland in the early 1990s. Reasons for the near total abandonment include shortage of food delivery.
The Igloo Hotel
This resort has never seen a paying guest! The Igloo Hotel in Alaska, US was primarily meant to attract visitors from the nearby Denali National Park. However, the builder didn’t observe official building regulations and also chose a location that was too remote, so the hotel was never completed. The half-finished building however, continues to suffer wind and weather a half a century later.
1. What caused people’s interest in Kolmanskop?
A. Diamonds. B. The hospital.
C. The theatre. D. The swimming pool.
2. Which of the following was abandoned because of lack of food?
A. Kolmanskop. B. The Aniva lighthouse.
C. Houtouwan. D. The Igloo Hotel in Alaska.
3. What’s the biggest difference between The Igloo Hotel and the other three places?
A. It was remote. B. It was undone.
C. It doesn’t exist now. D. It has no visitors.

As the daughter of immigrants (移民), Chanthaphone’s primary language at home was Lao. At 5, she learned to speak English. But she didn’t know how to read and write — let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future.
Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential (潜力) in life.
At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special.
Her students, though, are usually not persuaded. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks.
In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone.
However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration (协作) with unfamiliar people is important.
“I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.”
4. What do you know about Mrs. Lewis?
A. She is inspiring. B. She is ambitious.
C She is knowledgeable. D. She is demanding.
5. Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students?
A. To push the students to voice their thoughts.
B. To make herself well known to her students.
C. To make a good beginning of her class.
D. To encourage her students to be confident.
6. What does Chanthaphone focus on in the classroom?
A. Students’ strong curiosity. B. Students’ mental health.
C. Students’ communicating ability. D. Students’ unique talent.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. You Are the Only One B. I Was Once Like You
C. No One Can Say No to You D. Hard Work Pays Off
C
LyricJam a real-time system that uses artificial intelligence (Al) to produce lyrics (歌词) for live instrumental music, was created by members of the University’s Natural Language Processing Lab.
The lab, led by Olga Vechtomova, a Waterloo Engineering professor in Computer Science, worked on the creation of a system that learns musical expressions of artists and generates lyrics in their style. Meanwhile, the lyrics could reflect the moods and emotions expressed by live music.
As a musician or a band plays instrumental music, the system continuously receives the raw audio clips (音频片段), which the neural (神经的) network processes to generate new lyric lines. The artists can then use the lines to create their own song lyrics. The neural network designed by the researchers learns what lyrical themes, words and stylistic devices are associated with different aspects of music in each audio clip.
“The purpose of the system is not to write a song for the artist,” Vechtomova explains. “Instead, we want to help artists realize their own creativity. The system produces poetic lines with new metaphors and expressions, potentially leading the artists in creative directions that they haven’t explored before.”
The research team conducted a user study, inviting musicians to play live instruments while using the system.
“One unexpected finding was that participants felt encouraged by the produced lyrics to improvise (即兴创作), ” Vechtomova said. “For example, the lyrics inspired artists to take their improvisation in a new direction. Some musicians also used the lyrics to check if their improvisation had the desired emotional effect.”
Participants commented that they viewed the system as a partner and felt inspired to play their musical instruments even if they were not actively trying to write lyrics. Since LyricJam went live, plenty of users worldwide have tried it out.
8. What is special about LyricJam?
A. It combines audio clips with lyrics. B. It can produce personalized lyrics.
C. It uses high-tech to perfect lyrics. D. It is created by Olga Vechtomova.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How the system plays music. B. How a band holds a concert.
C. How LyricJam functions. D. How an artist explores music.
10. Why did the research team create LyricJam?
A. To challenge the creativity of artists. B. To attract audience to the concert.
C. To make live concerts more entertaining. D. To motivate artists’ inspiration.
11. What is the users’ attitude towards LyricJam?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic.
D
Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”
12. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?
A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B. Translation makes people knowledgeable.
C. Simpler jobs require greater caution. D. Moderate effort produces the best result.
13. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.
A. is good at handling pressure B. works hard to become successful
C. a has a natural talent for his job. D. gets on well with his co-workers
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.
B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.
D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
15. What does the text seem to advocate?
A. Middle-of-the-road work habits. B. Balance between work and family.
C. Long-standing cultural traditions. D. Harmony in the work environment.

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。
Winston watched rain pour down. He sighed. “This is just typical! School holidays and it rains!” His younger sister, Hannah, didn’t answer and carried on rolling around the floor with Grandma’s dog, Mac. A moment later, the door opened and 16-year-old Sophie, headphones glued as usual to her ears, bounded upstairs.
Mac certainly needed no second chance and was out of the room and into the garden before Hannah could get to her feet. Winston yelled, “We’re supposed to keep him in. He doesn’t know his way around this end of town.” Grabbing two coats, Hannah joined her brother on the step, just in time to see the black and white dog walked slowly up the road. “No time to leave a note to Mom,” Winston decided, taking charge. “Let’s get him. The last thing Grandma needs to know when she’s in hospital is that we’ve lost her dog,” he added.
The two children rushed toward Mac. Wagging (摆动) his tail energetically, he raced off toward the park. Mac led them toward the gateway to the town park and set off at once toward the duck pond. Winston and Hannah were close behind but cannoned (猛撞) round the corner straight into a woman pushing a baby carriage. “Watch where you are going,” she yelled. “Sorry,” they said. “I can’t see Mac any more,” Winston announced when the woman had gone on her way.
A few minutes of racing along the paths in the park finally convinced the children that they had lost Mac. “We’re never going to find him by ourselves,” Hannah said. “A bus! Come on! Let’s go home and phone Mom,” Winston shouted. Before Hannah could argue, he had pulled his sister onto the bus and paid their fares.
Later, Hannah did try to tell him that the bus was going the wrong way but by then it was too much late. They both realized they were going east instead of west. Hannah burst into tears. She cried, “I’m cold. I’m scared because we’ll be in real trouble now. We’ve lost Mac!”

【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了世界上四个被遗忘的地方。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The discovery of diamonds here around 100 years ago caused this remote place to experience a boom (繁荣), and in no time at all, an entire town reveal itself out of the sand.(大约100年前在这里发现的钻石使这个偏远的地方经历了一次繁荣,顷刻间,整个小镇就出现在沙滩上)”可知,钻石引起了人们对Kolmanskop的兴趣。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Houtouwan部分最后一句“Reasons for the near total abandonment include shortage of food delivery.(几乎完全放弃的原因包括食物供应短缺)”可知,Houtouwan因为缺少食物而被遗弃。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Igloo Hotel部分中“The half-finished building however, continues to suffer wind and weather a half a century later.(然而,这座半成品的建筑在半个世纪后仍在经受风雨)”可知,这个旅馆没有完工。故选B。
B

But she didn’t know how to read and write — let alone how to fit in at school or communicate with classmates. Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone’s second-grade teacher, changed everything. She taught her students that it was OK if they did not know English and it was all right for them to use words in their home language to explain how they were feeling and thinking. Chanthaphone got more and more confidence and wanted to do what her teacher did in the future.
Now, at 26, Chanthaphone is an English teacher at Fort Worth ISDs William Monnig Middle School. Like Mrs. Lewis, Chanthaphone aims to help her non-English-speaking students to gain the confidence they need to realize their potential (潜力) in life.
At the beginning of each school year, Chanthaphone shares her story with her new classes. She tells them she knows what it feels like not to want to participate in class or raise her hand. She reminds them that she once sat in their seat and felt different because of her upbringing. But she stresses that's what makes each of them special.
Her students, though, are usually not persuaded. She has to take out photos of her graduating college and tell them about her parents and what her school was like. Then it finally clicks.
In the classroom, Chanthaphone allows students to communicate in whichever way they feel most comfortable. For some, it may be raising their hands and voicing their thoughts. For others, it may be writing their thoughts on a piece of paper and handing it to Chanthaphone.
However, Chanthaphone does encourage her students to go out of their comfort zone. She wants them to work with students they don't know because teamwork and collaboration (协作) with unfamiliar people is important.
“I’ve always wanted to be the teacher who supported students and advocated for them in and outside of classroom,” Chanthaphone said. “When I get notes or see Facebook posts from parents talking about previous teachers, including me, I feel like my goal has been completed.”
4. What do you know about Mrs. Lewis?
A. She is inspiring. B. She is ambitious.
C. She is knowledgeable. D. She is demanding.
5. Why does Chanthaphone tell her schooling experience to her new students?
A To push the students to voice their thoughts.
B. To make herself well known to her students.
C. To make a good beginning of her class.
D. To encourage her students to be confident.
6. What does Chanthaphone focus on in the classroom?
A. Students’ strong curiosity. B. Students’ mental health.
C. Students’ communicating ability. D. Students’ unique talent.
7. What can be the best title for the text?

LyricJam, a real-time system that uses artificial intelligence (Al) to produce lyrics (歌词) for live instrumental music, was created by members of the University’s Natural Language Processing Lab.
The lab, led by Olga Vechtomova, a Waterloo Engineering professor in Computer Science, worked on the creation of a system that learns musical expressions of artists and generates lyrics in their style. Meanwhile, the lyrics could reflect the moods and emotions expressed by live music.
As a musician or a band plays instrumental music, the system continuously receives the raw audio clips (音频片段), which the neural (神经的) network processes to generate new lyric lines. The artists can then use the lines to create their own song lyrics. The neural network designed by the researchers learns what lyrical themes, words and stylistic devices are associated with different aspects of music in each audio clip.
“The purpose of the system is not to write a song for the artist,” Vechtomova explains. “Instead, we want to help artists realize their own creativity. The system produces poetic lines with new metaphors and expressions, potentially leading the artists in creative directions that they haven’t explored before.”
The research team conducted a user study, inviting musicians to play live instruments while using the system.
“One unexpected finding was that participants felt encouraged by the produced lyrics to improvise (即兴创作), ” Vechtomova said. “For example, the lyrics inspired artists to take their improvisation in a new direction. Some musicians also used the lyrics to check if their improvisation had the desired emotional effect.”
Participants commented that they viewed the system as a partner and felt inspired to play their musical instruments even if they were not actively trying to write lyrics. Since LyricJam went live, plenty of users worldwide have tried it out.
8. What is special about LyricJam?
A. It combines audio clips with lyrics. B. It can produce personalized lyrics.
C. It uses high-tech to perfect lyrics. D. It is created by Olga Vechtomova.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How the system plays music. B. How a band holds a concert.
C. How LyricJam functions. D. How an artist explores music.
10. Why did the research team create LyricJam?
A. To challenge the creativity of artists. B. To attract audience to the concert.
C. To make live concerts more entertaining. D. To motivate artists’ inspiration.
11. What is the users’ attitude towards LyricJam?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.
In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.
How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.
Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”
12. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?
A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionist B. Translation makes people knowledgeable.
C. Simpler jobs require greater caution. D. Moderate effort produces the best result.
13. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.
A. is good at handling pressure B. works hard to become successful
C. a has a natural talent for his job. D. gets on well with his co-workers
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.
B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.
C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.
D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.
15. What does the text seem to advocate?
A. Middle-of-the-road work habits. B. Balance between work and family.
C. Long-standing cultural traditions. D. Harmony in the work environment.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了许多人认为工作到最大限度是成功的秘诀,但研究发现,适度的工作也会带来成果。所以要适度工作,工作时要有积极的情绪,这会让自己在工作中更有效率。
12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.(许多人认为工作到最大限度是成功的秘诀,但研究发现,适度的工作也会带来成果。)”和第二段中“In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.(在哈佛大学Ellen Langer领导的一项研究中,研究人员要求人们将句子翻译成一种新的虚构的语言。那些事先适度练习这门语言的受试者比那些全力练习或根本不练习的受试者犯的错误要少。)”可知,第一段提出主题,即适度的工作也会带来成果,接着第二段作者用Ellen Langer的研究来证明这一点,由此可推知,Ellen Langer的研究表明适度的努力会产生最好的结果。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office.(而他那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事们则在角落办公室里得到不屑的目光。)”可知,while前后是对比关系,那些在会议室吃饭时闲聊的同事会得到别人不屑的目光,即被认为不努力工作,相反,那些在办公桌前吃午饭的年轻银行家可能被视为是一个努力工作以求成功的人,由此可知,划线单词go-getter,指的是那些努力工作以求成功的人,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity.(此外,许多研究表明,积极的情绪能够提高生产力和创造力。 )”可知,积极的情绪能够提高生产力和创造力,由此可推知,愉快的心情有助于创造性思维。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.(但研究发现,适度的工作也会带来成果)”和第二段中“High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.(高尽责性与低工作表现有关,尤其是在简单的工作中,追求完美并不值得。)”可知,文章主要介绍研究表明适度的工作也会带来成果,所以文章提倡适度工作,即中庸的工作习惯。故选A。

考查冠词。句意:在1420至1912年间,它都是古代中国的政治中心,现在它是一个全世界闻名的博物馆。分析句意可知,空格处填写冠词a,表示数量“一个”著名博物馆。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建,他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知,此处谓语动词build“建立”与主语The Forbidden City “紫禁城”构成被动关系,且为过去发生的事,故使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:紫禁城由明代第三个皇帝永乐大帝修建,他于1403年把都城从南京搬到北京。分析句意可知,此处需填写连词连接非限定性定语从句,因为先行词为人Emperor Yongle “永乐大帝”,且在从句中作主语,故使用关系代词who。故填who。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:资料称1406至1420年间,上百万工人被用来修筑紫禁城。分析句意可知,此处worker“工人”前有量词a million“一百万”修饰,故应该使用复数形式。故填workers。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意:为了避免上天生气,一半的房子消失了。分析句意可知,avoid“避免”后常接动名词作宾语,故此处需要使用upset“使生气”的动名词形式。故填upsetting。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色,是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知,此处most“大多数的”需改为副词形式mostly,修饰动词painted“涂”。故填mostly。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:墙壁、门窗都被涂成了红色,是中国文化中幸福的象征。分析句意可知,此处形容词happy“开心的”需要改为名词happiness“幸福”在句中作介词of的宾语。故填happiness。
【43题详解】
考查连词。过去,紫禁城不对普通大众开放,这就是为什么它被命名为“the forbidden city(被禁止的城市)”。分析句意可知,空格处填写连词连接表语从句,且连词在表语从句中作原因状语,使用why符合语境。故填why。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:清朝之后,它被作为一个国家博物馆-故宫博物馆,对公众开放。分析句意可知,此处名词nation“国家”需要改为形容词national,作定语修饰museum“博物馆”。故填national。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:所以哪天一定要找一个机会来参观一下!分析句意可知,此处a chance为抽象名词,后常接不定式作后置定语,故visit“参观”应该使用不定式。故填to visit。

My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival
I feel it a privilege to talk about the Spring Festival, the most important festival for Chinese people.
Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts from the early days of the 12th lunar month and lasts till the mid-1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, Chinese people attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve, when all family members eat dinner together and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. As for me, I love the Spring Festival most because it symbolizes unity, prosperity and new hopes for the future. Plus, not only can I set off fireworks during the festival, but I can also get lucky money as a New Year’s gift!
To conclude, the Spring Festival bears unique significance for every Chinese. Hope the excitement of the celebration will reach more people across the world.
My Favourite Traditional Chinese Festival
It is a great honor for me to give a speech on my favorite traditional Chinese Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival.
It falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of ancient China. As a memorial, people usually eat zongzi, a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed leaves. There is also a nationwide practice of having or watching dragon boat racing, where competing teams drive their dragon boats forward to the drum beats. Actually it is the sporting spirit and the atmosphere of excitement displayed in dragon boat racing that makes this festival stand out as my favorite.
As a traditional celebration in China, the festival is in the UNESCO ICH list now. I believe more people will explore the legends and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the future.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Winston watched rain pour down. He sighed. “This is just typical! School holidays and it rains!” His younger sister, Hannah, didn’t answer and carried on rolling around the floor with Grandma’s dog, Mac. A moment later, the door opened and 16-year-old Sophie, headphones glued as usual to her ears, bounded upstairs.
Mac certainly needed no second chance and was out of the room and into the garden before Hannah could get to her feet. Winston yelled, “We’re supposed to keep him in. He doesn’t know his way around this end of town.” Grabbing two coats, Hannah joined her brother on the step, just in time to see the black and white dog walked slowly up the road. “No time to leave a note to Mom,” Winston decided, taking charge. “Let’s get him. The last thing Grandma needs to know when she’s in hospital is that we’ve lost her dog,” he added.
The two children rushed toward Mac. Wagging (摆动) his tail energetically, he raced off toward the park. Mac led them toward the gateway to the town park and set off at once toward the duck pond. Winston and Hannah were close behind but cannoned (猛撞) round the corner straight into a woman pushing a baby carriage. “Watch where you are going,” she yelled. “Sorry,” they said. “I can’t see Mac any more,” Winston announced when the woman had gone on her way.
A few minutes of racing along the paths in the park finally convinced the children that they had lost Mac. “We’re never going to find him by ourselves,” Hannah said. “A bus! Come on! Let’s go home and phone Mom,” Winston shouted. Before Hannah could argue, he had pulled his sister onto the bus and paid their fares.
Later, Hannah did try to tell him that the bus was going the wrong way but by then it was too much late. They both realized they were going east instead of west. Hannah burst into tears. She cried, “I’m cold. I’m scared because we’ll be in real trouble now. We’ve lost Mac!”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
The bus turned around a corner and a small house came into view.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
They rode the bus home with the dog.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The bus turned a corner and a small house came into view. “Oh look,” said Winston. “Grandma’s house. Oh...” He stared in amazement at a small, very wet and black and white dog sitting on the doorstep, waiting patiently. The children got off the bus at the next stop and charged back up the road. “Mac!” screamed Hannah, “We found you! You came home.” Winston said, “Poor Mac. He must miss Grandma. Let’s get him home and dry him off.”
They rode the bus home with the dog. They were in the kitchen drying Mac off when the phone rang. It was Grandma. She said, “I just have to phone and see if poor old Mac is alright. I’m so worried about him.” Winston and Hannah looked at each other. Winston shook his head. Hannah nodded. “Oh, you mustn’t worry, Grandma,” Hannah said brightly. “He’s had a lovely day. No trouble at all!”
