Retired army officer and Parkinson’s (帕金森) sufferer Guy Deacon traveled 18,000 miles down Africa across 25 countries to raise awareness about the condition of the disease in Africa.
It was at school when Deacon received a Wexas traveler’s handbook and on the front cover, there’s a picture of a couple of Land Rovers (路虎车) in the desert with the sun setting behind them. “And I thought, that’s what I want to do when I grow up. I’ve always had this idea to do this when I got the time and money put together.”
Traveling down Africa is a massive challenge for anyone, let alone someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s. It’s an incredibly dangerous journey due to the conflicts, road conditions, lack of services and crime. “Much of the journey I was traveling by myself, I had nobody to be responsible to besides myself. That was a little bit lonely, but I had a sense of achievement when I made it.”
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing illness worldwide and there are many people suffering with the condition in Africa. Deacon kept a boot (后备箱) full of pills in his car which he had intended to give away. Traveling there for months, he realized he couldn’t do that. Other travelers had shared their pills, but the quantity of pills was not enough. “It wouldn’t help for a short period of time, because they need continual pills.”
The experience in Africa left a deep impression on Deacon. He knew what life was like with Parkinson’s without pills. Going back to UK, he had a plan to appeal to more people to fund a foundation which can donate more pills to people with Parkinson’s in Africa.
4. What inspired Deacon to travel down Africa?
A. Instructions in a traveler’s handbook. B. A scene in a picture on a book cover.
C. His former experience in the desert. D. His concern about people with Parkinson’s.
5. What do we know about Deacon’s journey?
A. The extreme weather made it dangerous. B. He met someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s.
C. He enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself. D. He completed it thanks to the assistance of locals.
6 Why didn’t Deacon give away pills to people?
A. Deacon needed the pills himself. B. Other travelers didn’t share their pills before.
C. His pills didn’t work on people in Africa. D. The quantity of pills couldn’t meet the need.
7. Which of the following can best describe Deacon?
A. Skillful and tough. B. Responsible and talented.
C. Thrill- loving and frank. D. Warm- hearted and determined.
C
“Mobile phone addiction” is a term used to describe the phenomenon of a person being glued to their phone. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has proved that it’s not mobile phones themselves to which people are “addicted”, but rather the social interactions they promote. This study offers the first experimental scientific support for a theory initially proposed in 2018 by Samuel P. L. Veissiere, a scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
To conduct the experiment, the UGR scientists worked with a sample of 86 subjects who were divided into two groups. Group One was instructed to send a message via WhatsApp to their most active contacts explaining that they were going to participate in an exciting task in a VR universe(the same message in all cases). Group Two was not asked to send this “exciting” message to their contacts.
“Next, we asked both groups of people to mute (静音) their mobile phones and leave them face down on the table while they engaged in the activity. When the interaction with the VR world was over, we left the participants idle. After this period of inactivity, we allowed all the participants to return to using WhatsApp,” explains Jorge Lopéz Puga, lead author of the study.
Throughout the process, the UGR scientists measured the electrodermal activity of the skin, a parameter (参数) taken as a sign of the activity of our nervous system. “We observed that Group One was more tense throughout the experiment. We also found that this group became more anxious when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. Moreover, when they were allowed to use their phones again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal (激动),” says Lopéz Puga.
The results show that mobile phones are not the cause of psychological problems but how and why the devices are used can better explain certain psychological problems.
8. What can be inferred about the theory put forward by Samuel P. L. Veissiere?
A It focused on the effects of social interactions.
B. It was inspired by the UGR scientists’ research.
C. It related mobile phone addiction to social interactions.
D. It was the first scientific theory about mobile phone addiction.
9. What is the difference between the two groups?
A Group One had more participants.
B. Group One was asked to text their contacts.
C. Group Two performed a task in the VR universe.
D. Group Two was requested to mute their mobile phones.
10. Which of the following can replace “idle” in Paragraph 3?
A. Busy with their work. B. Eager to know the results.
C. Away from social activities. D. Unable to use their phones.
11. What did the UGR scientists find about Group One?
A. They were more anxious in daily life. B. They had more psychological problems.
C. They experienced obvious mood changes. D. They were dependent on their mobile phones.
D
In Florida, rancher (农场主) Jim Strickland can see his cows at any time, day or night. To do this, all he needs is his phone. Based on GPS technology, Strickland uses virtual fencing to watch and control the movements of his animals.
Virtual fencing uses radio signals to make an invisible fence. Each animal wears a collar (颈圈) around its neck. The collar has a radio signal receiver and a GPS device that shows the animal’s location. The signals come from nearby mobile phone towers or base stations that can be moved using a small truck. Ranchers train livestock (牲畜) to connect a sound with a small electric shock. When an animal gets close to a virtual fence, its collar makes a warning sound. If the animal moves even closer to the fence, it receives a shock. In this way, livestock quickly learn to stay away from the fence. Ranchers can change the virtual fence boundaries quickly by using a phone App or computer. And livestock quickly learn the new boundaries.
By using virtual fencing, Strickland can remotely move his cows from one area to another and watch for animals that may be having problems. For example, if the system shows that a cow has not moved for many hours, it may be sick or injured. Virtual fencing can also help control grazing (放牧). William Burnidge, Deputy Director of TNC, an environmental non- profit organization, said that by changing fence boundaries, the systems prevent animals from eating too many plants within one area, which helps plants grow again.
An animal’s collar can cost $ 50 or even more annually. Last year, the Bezos Earth Fund awarded$ 9.9 million to Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to develop cost- effective virtual fencing. The institution has outlined a plan to evaluate the effect of this technology in less- developed areas. In certain regions, Burnidge was aware of the significant role played by numerous workers in monitoring and caring for livestock, thus raising concerns that virtual fencing could result in unemployment.
Still, Burnidge said that many people wanted to learn more about the technology. “I’ve never seen anything comparable to the amount of interest,” he said.
12. What is the function of the collars?
A. To track the location of the movable towers.
B. To send signals to the nearby base stations.
C. To prevent animals from crossing the boundaries.
D. To automatically adjust the borders of the fence.
13. What is the benefit of using virtual fencing?
A. It protects animals from diseases. B. It promotes sustainable grazing.
C. It makes high profits for ranchers. D. It helps plants grow better.
14. What worried Burnidge?
A. A collar cost too much money. B. It was hard to test the technology.
C. Livestock were left uncared. D. Virtual fencing could cause job loss.
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Virtual Fencing Changes the Way of Grazing B. Grazing Faces Challenges in Some Areas
C. Magical Collars Do Good to the Environment D. Gps Technology Is Widely Used in Grazing

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。
I was teaching Kama, my little sister, to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Kama,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Kama had her own watering bottle so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.” “What? But, Kama…”
I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh... I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Kama’s pencil and “planted” a brand new purple pencil. Kama was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.
A few days later, Kama was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their point y little heads out, thanks to me. Kama jumped up and down and yelled.
“They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.
Next, Kama grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Kama’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day, I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad?” I couldn’t speak.
“Not long, I bet!” said Kama. She knelt down (跪下) to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow,” before she skipped back to the house.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, I found Kama sitting sadly by the spot where Molly was buried.

Retired army officer and Parkinson’s (帕金森) sufferer Guy Deacon traveled 18,000 miles down Africa across 25 countries to raise awareness about the condition of the disease in Africa.
It was at school when Deacon received a Wexas traveler’s handbook and on the front cover, there’s a picture of a couple of Land Rovers (路虎车) in the desert with the sun setting behind them. “And I thought, that’s what I want to do when I grow up. I’ve always had this idea to do this when I got the time and money put together.”
Traveling down Africa is a massive challenge for anyone, let alone someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s. It’s an incredibly dangerous journey due to the conflicts, road conditions, lack of services and crime. “Much of the journey I was traveling by myself, I had nobody to be responsible to besides myself. That was a little bit lonely, but I had a sense of achievement when I made it.”
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing illness worldwide and there are many people suffering with the condition in Africa. Deacon kept a boot (后备箱) full of pills in his car which he had intended to give away. Traveling there for months, he realized he couldn’t do that. Other travelers had shared their pills, but the quantity of pills was not enough. “It wouldn’t help for a short period of time, because they need continual pills.”
The experience in Africa left a deep impression on Deacon. He knew what life was like with Parkinson’s without pills. Going back to UK, he had a plan to appeal to more people to fund a foundation which can donate more pills to people with Parkinson’s in Africa.
4. What inspired Deacon to travel down Africa?
A. Instructions in a traveler’s handbook. B. A scene in a picture on a book cover.
C. His former experience in the desert. D. His concern about people with Parkinson’s.
5. What do we know about Deacon’s journey?
A. The extreme weather made it dangerous. B. He met someone with stage 3 Parkinson’s.
C. He enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself. D. He completed it thanks to the assistance of locals.
6. Why didn’t Deacon give away pills to people?
A. Deacon needed the pills himself. B. Other travelers didn’t share their pills before.
C. His pills didn’t work on people in Africa. D. The quantity of pills couldn’t meet the need.
7. Which of the following can best describe Deacon?
A. Skillful and tough. B. Responsible and talented.
C. Thrill- loving and frank. D. Warm- hearted and determined.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was at school when Deacon received a Wexas traveler’s handbook and on the front cover, there’s a picture of a couple of Land Rovers (路虎车) in the desert with the sun setting behind them. “And I thought, that’s what I want to do when I grow up. I’ve always had this idea to do this when I got the time and money put together.”(当迪肯在学校时,他收到了一本Wexas旅行手册,封面上有一张路虎车在沙漠中行驶的照片,太阳正从它们身后落下。“我当时想,这就是我长大后想做的事情。我一直都有这个想法,只要我有时间和钱,我就会去做。”)”可知,当Deacon在学校时,他收到了一本Wexas旅行手册,封面上有一张路虎车在沙漠中的照片,太阳正在它们身后落下。他想到这就是他长大后想做的事情,因此这张照片激发了他前往非洲旅行的灵感。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Much of the journey I was traveling by myself, I had nobody to be responsible to besides myself. That was a little bit lonely, but I had a sense of achievement when I made it.”(“旅程的大部分时间我都是独自旅行,除了我自己,我没有人需要负责。这有点孤独,但当我成功时,我有一种成就感。”)”可知,Deacon独自完成了旅程,虽然有点孤独,但他有一种成就感。这表明他享受挑战自己的感觉。故选C。
6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Deacon kept a boot (后备箱) full of pills in his car which he had intended to give away. Traveling there for months, he realized he couldn’t do that. Other travelers had shared their pills, but the quantity of pills was not enough.(迪肯在他的汽车后备箱里放满了他打算赠送的药片。在那里旅行了几个月后,他意识到他不能这样做。其他旅行者分享了他们的药片,但药片的数量还是不够。)”可知,虽然Deacon计划捐赠药物,但他发现数量不足以满足需求,因此没有将药物捐赠给当地人。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。Deacon为了宣传非洲帕金森氏症的状况,不顾自己的病情,独自穿越非洲,这表明他是一个有决心的人。同时,他计划呼吁更多人资助一个基金会,为非洲的帕金森氏症患者捐赠更多的药物,这表明他是一个热心肠的人。因此,D选项“热心肠且有决心”最能描述Deacon。故选D。

“Mobile phone addiction” is a term used to describe the phenomenon of a person being glued to their phone. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has proved that it’s not mobile phones themselves to which people are “addicted”, but rather the social interactions they promote. This study offers the first experimental scientific support for a theory initially proposed in 2018 by Samuel P. L. Veissiere, a scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
To conduct the experiment, the UGR scientists worked with a sample of 86 subjects who were divided into two groups. Group One was instructed to send a message via WhatsApp to their most active contacts explaining that they were going to participate in an exciting task in a VR universe(the same message in all cases). Group Two was not asked to send this “exciting” message to their contacts.
“Next, we asked both groups of people to mute (静音) their mobile phones and leave them face down on the table while they engaged in the activity. When the interaction with the VR world was over, we left the participants idle. After this period of inactivity, we allowed all the participants to return to using WhatsApp,” explains Jorge Lopéz Puga, lead author of the study.
Throughout the process, the UGR scientists measured the electrodermal activity of the skin, a parameter (参数) taken as a sign of the activity of our nervous system. “We observed that Group One was more tense throughout the experiment. We also found that this group became more anxious when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. Moreover, when they were allowed to use their phones again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal (激动),” says Lopéz Puga.
The results show that mobile phones are not the cause of psychological problems, but how and why the devices are used can better explain certain psychological problems.
8. What can be inferred about the theory put forward by Samuel P. L. Veissiere?
A. It focused on the effects of social interactions.
B. It was inspired by the UGR scientists’ research.
C. It related mobile phone addiction to social interactions.
D. It was the first scientific theory about mobile phone addiction.
9. What is the difference between the two groups?
A. Group One had more participants.
B. Group One was asked to text their contacts.
C. Group Two performed a task in the VR universe.
D. Group Two was requested to mute their mobile phones.
10. Which of the following can replace “idle” in Paragraph 3?
A. Busy with their work. B. Eager to know the results.
C. Away from social activities. D. Unable to use their phones.
11. What did the UGR scientists find about Group One?
A. They were more anxious in daily life. B. They had more psychological problems.
C. They experienced obvious mood changes. D. They were dependent on their mobile phones.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Mobile phone addiction” is a term used to describe the phenomenon of a person being glued to their phone. Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has proved that it’s not mobile phones themselves to which people are “addicted”, but rather the social interactions they promote. This study offers the first experimental scientific support for a theory initially proposed in 2018 by Samuel P. L. Veissiere, a scholar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.(“手机成瘾”是一个用来描述一个人沉迷于手机的现象的术语。格拉纳达大学(UGR)的研究人员已经证明,让人们“上瘾”的并不是手机本身,而是手机所促进的社交互动。这项研究为加拿大蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学的学者Samuel P. L. Veissiere于2018年最初提出的理论提供了第一个实验科学支持)”可知,Samuel P. L. Veissiere提出的理论将手机成瘾与社会互动联系起来。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Group One was instructed to send a message via WhatsApp to their most active contacts explaining that they were going to participate in an exciting task in a VR universe (the same message in all cases). Group Two was not asked to send this “exciting” message to their contacts.(第一组被要求通过WhatsApp向他们最活跃的联系人发送消息,解释他们将参与虚拟现实世界中的一项令人兴奋的任务(所有情况下都是相同的消息)。第二组没有被要求向他们的联系人发送这条“令人兴奋”的信息)”可知,这两组的区别是第一组被要求给他们的联系人发短信。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Next, we asked both groups of people to mute (静音) their mobile phones and leave them face down on the table while they engaged in the activity.(接下来,我们要求两组人都把手机调成静音,让他们脸朝下趴在桌子上)”以及“When the interaction with the VR world was over(当与虚拟现实世界的互动结束时)”以及后文“After this period of inactivity, we allowed all the participants to return to using WhatsApp(在这段时间的不活动之后,我们允许所有参与者重新使用WhatsApp)”可知,参与者被要求把手机调成静音,让他们脸朝下趴在桌子上,说明无法使用手机了,与虚拟现实世界的互动结束,故划线词可与“无法使用手机”替换。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““We observed that Group One was more tense throughout the experiment. We also found that this group became more anxious when they were asked to stop using their mobile phones. Moreover, when they were allowed to use their phones again, this group experienced a much higher level of emotional arousal (激动),” says Lopéz Puga.(“我们观察到,第一组在整个实验过程中都更加紧张。我们还发现,当被要求停止使用手机时,这组人变得更加焦虑。此外,当他们被允许再次使用手机时,这组人经历了更高水平的情绪唤醒,”洛普扎兹·普加说。)”可知, UGR的科学家们发现第一组经历了明显的情绪变化。故选C。

In Florida, rancher (农场主) Jim Strickland can see his cows at any time, day or night. To do this, all he needs is his phone. Based on GPS technology, Strickland uses virtual fencing to watch and control the movements of his animals.
Virtual fencing uses radio signals to make an invisible fence. Each animal wears a collar (颈圈) around its neck. The collar has a radio signal receiver and a GPS device that shows the animal’s location. The signals come from nearby mobile phone towers or base stations that can be moved using a small truck. Ranchers train livestock (牲畜) to connect a sound with a small electric shock. When an animal gets close to a virtual fence, its collar makes a warning sound. If the animal moves even closer to the fence, it receives a shock. In this way, livestock quickly learn to stay away from the fence. Ranchers can change the virtual fence boundaries quickly by using a phone App or computer. And livestock quickly learn the new boundaries.
By using virtual fencing, Strickland can remotely move his cows from one area to another and watch for animals that may be having problems. For example, if the system shows that a cow has not moved for many hours, it may be sick or injured. Virtual fencing can also help control grazing (放牧). William Burnidge, Deputy Director of TNC, an environmental non- profit organization, said that by changing fence boundaries, the systems prevent animals from eating too many plants within one area, which helps plants grow again.
An animal’s collar can cost $ 50 or even more annually. Last year, the Bezos Earth Fund awarded$ 9.9 million to Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to develop cost- effective virtual fencing. The institution has outlined a plan to evaluate the effect of this technology in less- developed areas. In certain regions, Burnidge was aware of the significant role played by numerous workers in monitoring and caring for livestock, thus raising concerns that virtual fencing could result in unemployment.
Still, Burnidge said that many people wanted to learn more about the technology. “I’ve never seen anything comparable to the amount of interest,” he said.
12. What is the function of the collars?
A. To track the location of the movable towers.
B. To send signals to the nearby base stations.
C. To prevent animals from crossing the boundaries.
D. To automatically adjust the borders of the fence.
13. What is the benefit of using virtual fencing?
A. It protects animals from diseases. B. It promotes sustainable grazing.
C. It makes high profits for ranchers. D. It helps plants grow better.
14. What worried Burnidge?
A. A collar cost too much money. B. It was hard to test the technology.
C. Livestock were left uncared. D. Virtual fencing could cause job loss.
15. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Virtual Fencing Changes the Way of Grazing B. Grazing Faces Challenges in Some Areas
C. Magical Collars Do Good to the Environment D. Gps Technology Is Widely Used in Grazing
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟围栏技术的运用和好处,改变了放牧的方式,使得牧场主能够更加方便地控制和管理牲畜的移动和放牧。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The collar has a radio signal receiver and a GPS device that shows the animal’s location. The signals come from nearby mobile phone towers or base stations that can be moved using a small truck. Ranchers train livestock (牲畜) to connect a sound with a small electric shock. When an animal gets close to a virtual fence, its collar makes a warning sound. If the animal moves even closer to the fence, it receives a shock. In this way, livestock quickly learn to stay away from the fence. (颈圈上装有无线电信号接收器和GPS设备,可以显示动物的位置。这些信号来自附近的移动电话塔或基站,这些基站可以使用小型卡车进行移动。牧场主训练牲畜将声音与轻微的电击联系起来。当动物接近虚拟围栏时,它的颈圈会发出警告声。如果动物继续靠近围栏,它会受到电击。通过这种方式,牲畜很快就会学会远离围栏。)”可知,虚拟围栏的颈圈上装有无线电信号接收器和GPS设备,可以显示动物的位置,并当动物靠近虚拟围栏时发出警告声或电击,以防止动物越过边界。因此,颈圈的作用是防止动物越过边界。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“William Burnidge, Deputy Director of TNC, an environmental non- profit organization, said that by changing fence boundaries, the systems prevent animals from eating too many plants within one area, which helps plants grow again. (环保非营利组织大自然保护协会 (TNC) 的副主任威廉·伯尼奇 (William Burnidge) 表示,通过改变围栏的边界,这些系统可以防止动物在同一个区域内吃掉太多植物,从而有助于植物再次生长。)”可知,使用虚拟围栏可以防止动物在同一个区域内吃太多植物,这有助于植物再次生长,从而促进可持续放牧。因此,使用虚拟围栏的好处是促进可持续放牧。故选B。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In certain regions, Burnidge was aware of the significant role played by numerous workers in monitoring and caring for livestock, thus raising concerns that virtual fencing could result in unemployment. (在某些地区,伯尼奇意识到许多工人在监测和照顾牲畜方面发挥着重要作用,因此他担心虚拟围栏可能会导致失业。)”可知,Burnidge担心虚拟围栏可能导致失业。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了虚拟围栏技术的运用和好处,改变了放牧的方式,使得牧场主能够更加方便地控制和管理牲畜的移动和放牧,因此最佳标题为A项:Virtual Fencing Changes the Way of Grazing (虚拟围栏改变了放牧的方式)。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:秦始皇陵遗址博物馆最近宣布,将与法国合作伙伴合作修复巴黎圣母院。此处表示“为了修复巴黎圣母院大教堂”,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to repair。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:2019年,一场大火袭击了圣母院,整个建筑都被摧毁了。根据时间状语“In 2019”可知,使用一般过去时,主语the entire building和destroy为被动关系,需用被动语态,主语为单数名词,be动词用was。故填was destroyed。

【43题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。连接两个并列的名词短语“preservation condition assessment”和“protection techniques and methods”应该使用并列连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:同时,这次中法合作也涉及到了文化遗产保护技术的开发和文化遗产保护领域青年人才的培养。at the same time为固定搭配,意为“同时”,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填At。

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。
I was teaching Kama, my little sister, to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Kama,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Kama had her own watering bottle so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there?” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.” “What? But, Kama…”
I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh... I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Kama’s pencil and “planted” a brand new purple pencil. Kama was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.
A few days later, Kama was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their point y little heads out, thanks to me. Kama jumped up and down and yelled.
“They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.
Next, Kama grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Kama’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad?” I couldn’t speak.
“Not long, I bet!” said Kama. She knelt down (跪下) to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow,” before she skipped back to the house.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, I found Kama sitting sadly by the spot where Molly was buried.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time. Sighing, I decided there was only one right thing to do. I got up, took some things from the shed, and went inside. When I displayed the short pencil, the crayons, the teaspoon... on the table, Kama was dumbfounded. Then I explained how I’d dug up and replaced all of her things. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. “Kama,” I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” At this, she burst into tears and ran off. The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a worm.
The next day, I found Kama sitting sadly by the spot where Molly was buried. I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized. Kama turned her face away. I went on, ‘‘See, you can grow things from seeds—not from pencils or... dead things. OK?” “Just seeds?” she asked, face still tear-stained. I nodded. She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something. Later that day, after we had a funeral for Molly, I saw Kama patting down some dirt on Molly’s grave. My heart tightened. “I’m growing some forget-me-nots, so Molly won’t forget me,” she said. This time, I thought “the green thumb” would have a real harvest.
