Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
4. Why did the writer enter for the Lighthouse Project?
A. Because his major was connected with it.
B. Because he was extremely familiar with it.
C. Because he wanted to make the world a better place.
D. Because new graduates had to work for it after graduation.
5. How was the writer’s application process?
A. Awkward. B. Complex.
C. Entertaining. D. Effortless.
6. What did the writer do in the village?
A. Working as a teacher.
B. Helping villagers build hospitals.
C. Raising money for his students.
D. Inviting locals to enter his Project.
7. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience
B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja
C. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education
D. Lighthouse Project—a Volunteer Organization for New Graduates
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】

Drought is an increasing problem in our warming world. All continents have been experiencing more extended periods without rain, leading to forest fires and poor crop growth. Consequently, people are looking at cloud seeding to solve the problem — a method of encouraging precipitation (降水) by sending small particles of certain chemicals into clouds.
Cloud-seeding expert Arlen Huggins has been studying its effectiveness. “My earliest experience was to use cloud seeding to reduce the amount of hail (冰雹) in northeast Colorado. We didn’t have any luck with that, but we had success later on in increasing snowfall in Utah. Now, the focus is shifting towards increasing rainfall from summer clouds, which is far more unpredictable.” said he.
The problem is that it’s pretty hard to know whether precipitation resulted directly from cloud seeding. It might have rained or snowed anyway. Even if you practice cloud seeding in one place and don’t in another, it’s impossible to know for sure what caused the precipitation. “As cloud seeding is expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, its usefulness is still a matter of opinion,” says Katja Friedrich, a researcher of University of Colorado.
Additionally, it’s not during foggy and snowy conditions that people think of increasing the chance of rainfall. When a country is hit by drought, then cloud seeding isn’t an option due to the lack of clouds. During drought, skies tend to be clear with few clouds. The best option to prevent drought is to seed at times of the year when rainfall levels are normal or higher.
There are also environmental issues regarding the impact of cloud seeding. At high levels, the chemicals sent into the clouds can harm humans and other animals, and some studies have found them slightly poisonous. Apart from that, some environmentalists are concerned about the long-term impacts, as there isn’t data on how much those chemicals accumulate in the environment over 10 years.
8. What is the purpose of cloud seeding?
A. To increase grain output.
B. To slow down global warming.
C. To reduce chemicals in the air.
D. To deal with dry and rain-free weather.
9. How is Arlen Huggins’ earliest experience in Paragraph 2?
A. It’s effective. B. It’s unsuccessful.
C. It’s satisfying. D. It’s fruitful.
10. What is Katja Friedrich’s attitude towards cloud seeding?
A. Favourable. B. Opposed.
C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Drought currently poses the only t hreat to forests and crops.
B. Rainmaking in any weather will come true in the near future.
C. Researchers now can not tell if rainfall is brought by cloud seeding.
D. Chemicals sent into the clouds will become less poisonous over time.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了干旱成为全球变暖环境下的一个严重问题,而“人工降雨”被认为是解决干旱问题的一种方法。然而,人工降雨的效果难以确定,并且存在环境问题和水资源分配问题。因此,虽然云雾处理可能会在一些条件下对缓解干旱有一定益处,但其实用性和可行性仍有待讨论。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Drought is an increasing problem in our warming world. All continents have been experiencing more extended periods without rain, leading to forest fires and poor crop growth. Consequently, people are looking at cloud seeding to solve the problem—a method of encouraging precipitation(降水) by sending small particles of certain chemicals into clouds.(在我们日益变暖的世界里,干旱是一个日益严重的问题。所有大陆都经历了更长时间的无雨期,导致森林火灾和作物生长不良。因此,人们正在研究人工增雨来解决这个问题——一种通过将某些化学物质的小颗粒送入云层来鼓励降水的方法。)”可知,人工降雨是为了能应对干旱无雨的天气。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My earliest experience was to use cloud seeding to reduce the amount of hail (冰雹) in northeast Colorado. We didn’t have any luck with that, but we had success later on in increasing snowfall in Utah. Now, the focus is shifting towards increasing rainfall from summer clouds, which is far more unpredictable.(我最早的经验是在科罗拉多州东北部使用播云来减少冰雹的数量。我们运气不好,但后来我们在犹他州的降雪量不断增加的情况下取得了成功。现在,焦点正转向夏季云层带来的降雨量增加,这一点更不可预测。)”可知, Arlen Huggins 最初是想用人工降雨的方法来减少美国科罗拉多州北部下冰雹的数量,遗憾的是运气不好,即失败了。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As cloud seeding is expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, its usefulness is still a matter of opinion,(由于播云成本高昂,其有效性也不确定,因此其有用性仍有待商榷,)”可知, Katja Friedrich认为人工降雨的做法代价高且效果不确定,是有待商榷的,即对其是持怀疑态度的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The problem is that it’s pretty hard to know whether precipitation resulted directly from cloud seeding. It might have rained or snowed anyway. Even if you practice cloud seeding in one place and don’t in another, it’s impossible to know for sure what caused the precipitation. (问题是,很难知道降水是否直接来自云层播种。不管怎样,可能已经下雨或下雪了。即使你在一个地方练习播云,而在另一个地方不练习,也不可能确切地知道是什么导致了降水。)”可知,研究人员现在无法判断降雨是否是由云层播种带来的。故选C项。
D
What does it mean to be intelligent? If it’s defined by having the biggest brain then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whose brain is 20 pounds — would be the brightest creatures on Earth. But, more likely, it’s how a brain is wired. Viewed in this way, intelligence is what gives an organism the best chance to survive in an environment. Language may be one of the best ways to demonstrate that kind of smarts.
“Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it,” says Erich Jarvis, a professor who studies the neuro-biology of vocal learning. “The idea stuck around, but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence,” he points out.
To get a better grasp of vocal learning and cognition, the study authors turned to songbirds. The team performed seven cognitive experiments on 214 songbirds from 23 different species. Of these, 21 species were caught from the wild. The rest two studied are domesticated (家养的). The behavioral tests examined the birds’ problem solving, for instance, figuring out how to remove an object to access the food reward. The researchers also tested two other skills often associated with intelligence: learning by association, plus what’s called reversal (倒转的) learning, in which an animal adjusts its behavior to get a reward. They then looked at whether being vocal learners helped develop the three skills, comparing 21 bird species to two others which were non-vocal learners.
Jarvis’ new study provides some of the first evidence that vocal learning — one of the crucial components for a spoken language — is associated with problem solving. Vocal learning bird species could come up with innovative ideas, such as getting seeds, or catching a worm trapped under a cup by removing the obstacle or pulling it apart. All three abilities — problem solving, associative learning, and reversal learning — are typically considered “components of intelligence,” he says.
“One question left unanswered is why there’s such a strong relationship between problem-solving abilities and vocal learning. The brain areas in charge of vocal learning are not the same ones that get activated when we need to troubleshoot (分析解决) an issue,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of psychology at Cornell University who studies vocal learning in songbirds and humans but was not involved in the study.
12. Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1?
A. Language. B. Brain size.
C. Brain structure. D. Environment.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Guarantee. B. Assumption.
C. Category. D. Distribution.
14. What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about?
A. Habits of songbirds.
B. Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C. Outline of the study.
D Three phases of displaying intelligence.
15. What may the text talk about next?
A. The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B. The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C. The reasons why songbirds’ intelligence can not develop further.
D. The reasons why vocal learning influence problem-solving abilities.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究发现,语音学习与解决问题的能力密切相关。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段前三句“What does it mean to be intelligent? If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whose brain is 20 pounds — would be the brightest creatures on Earth. But, more likely, it’s how a brain is wired.(智力意味着什么?如果它的定义是拥有最大的大脑,那么抹香鲸——它的大脑有20磅重——将是地球上最聪明的生物。但更有可能的,是大脑的连接方式。)”可知,大脑结构可能定义智力。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句中的“somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it(有人在某天提出的,却没有真正去证明它)”可知,此处是指有人提出的一个假设,所以hypothesis意为“假设”。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段前两句“To get a better grasp of vocal learning and cognition, the study authors turned to songbirds. The team performed seven cognitive experiments on 214 songbirds from 23 different species.(为了更好地掌握声乐学习和认知,研究作者转向了鸣禽。研究小组对来自23个不同物种的214只鸣禽进行了7项认知实验。)”和第四段第一句“Jarvis’ new study provides some of the first evidence that vocal learning — one of the crucial components for a spoken language — is associated with problem solving.(Jarvis的新研究首次提供了一些证据,证明语音学习——口语的关键组成部分之一——与解决问题有关。)”可知,第三段和第四段介绍了这项新研究的方法和结果,即研究的梗概。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“One question left unanswered is why there’s such a strong relationship between problem-solving abilities and vocal learning.(有一个问题没有得到解答,那就是为什么解决问题的能力和语音学习之间存在如此密切的关系。)”可知,文章接下来有可能讨论语音影响解决问题能力的原因。故选D。

【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了愤怒的危害和如何阻止愤怒的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are in a temper, you make quick ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. Anger arrives quickly, in response to an event or action.(愤怒是最具破坏性的情绪。当你生气的时候,你会迅速做出你可能会后悔的错误决定。对于一个事件或行为的反应,愤怒来得很快)”以及后文“How to stop being angry?(如何停止生气?)”可知,上文提到了愤怒情绪的坏处,后文给出了建议,可知本句承接上文,继续说明愤怒情绪的特点。故A选项“相比之下,愤怒的情绪会慢慢过去”符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you both frustrated and angry.(你必须接受有时事情会出错,人们并不总是可爱的。试着接受别人的行为方式会让你既沮丧又生气)”以及后文“Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.(此外,你需要接受的是,并不是每个人都有和你一样的标准,他们在特定情况下的行为方式也不会和你一样)”可知,不要要求别人和你具有一样的行为和标准,即要学会接受别人的差异和缺点。故E选项“认识到人无完人是避免生气的良好开端”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
根据本段内容“Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Anger of this type can be used to fuel action. Use anger to help you but not to pull you back.(马丁·路德·金对美国缺乏公民权利感到愤怒。甘地对英国在印度的统治感到愤怒。他们都用这种愤怒来激励自己与他们所认为的不公正作斗争。这种类型的愤怒可以用来推动行动。用愤怒来帮助你,而不是让你退缩)”可知,本段的主旨是引导愤怒来推动行动,用愤怒来帮助你,而不是让你退缩。故F选项“如果以建设性的方式来引导愤怒,它可以带来积极的改变”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger, but all that happens is that the anger is suppressed(压制).(愤怒管理曾经作为一种处理愤怒的方法而被推广,但所发生的一切只是愤怒被抑制了)”以及后文“Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause.(一旦你知道你为什么生气,那么就有可能处理原因)”可知,后文提到发现生气的原因,可知本句是在建议找出生气的原因来处理愤怒。故C选项“面对愤怒的一个更好的方法是找出根本原因”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Anger is a negative reaction, but in this type of situation, there is no use reacting by forming positive thoughts. You need to learn not to respond at all.(愤怒是一种消极的反应,但在这种情况下,形成积极的想法是没有用的。你要学会完全不回应)”可知,上文提到了学会完全不回应,本句为本段最后一句,说明这么做的原因。故D选项“这样,你的愤怒就不会得到生存所需的情绪食粮”符合语境,故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 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 doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling (乱画) a fish. But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I’d rather be skating!”I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting in too many animals without homes.
Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was plenty for this house.
“Blue isn’t noisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whole farm full of animals if I could” I said. “But my parents say two cats and a hamster (仓鼠) are enough.”
Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people’s attention these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of a whale spout (喷水). Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them, saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people’s attention. And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next afternoon.
That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind. Why not put Mr. Nibbles on the poster? I eagerly sketched out a design featuring Mr. Nibbles in a playful pose, promoting the joy of pet adoption, "Want a pet to play with? Go get one in the local animal shelter." I admired my work with great satisfaction. The next afternoon, Ollie came over with his notebook. His design was centered on his parrot, Blue, who was singing beautifully "Oh! Be our hero! Give shelter pets a chance to be loved!" We exchanged a smile and engaged in a discussion about the final draft of the poster.
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster. Combining my playful hamster and Ollie's melodious parrot, we created a vibrant and eye-catching design. After adding the final touches, we proudly presented our final creation to Mr. Goldberg. His faces lit up as he praised the creativity and heartfelt message behind our design. A couple of months later, Mr. Goldberg shared the exciting news that lots of people had come in after seeing the posters. And some of them decided to donate or adopt! We hadn't expected our poster would cause such a sensation, but we did know our small bit of help would create a meaningful ripple.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
4. Why did the writer enter for the Lighthouse Project?
A. Because his major was connected with it.
B. Because he was extremely familiar with it.
C. Because he wanted to make the world a better place.
D. Because new graduates had to work for it after graduation.
5. How was the writer’s application process?
A. Awkward. B. Complex.
C. Entertaining. D. Effortless.
6. What did the writer do in the village?
A. Working as a teacher.
B. Helping villagers build hospitals.
C. Raising money for his students.
D. Inviting locals to enter his Project.
7. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience
B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja
C. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education
D. Lighthouse Project—a Volunteer Organization for New Graduates
C
Drought is an increasing problem in our warming world. All continents have been experiencing more extended periods without rain, leading to forest fires and poor crop growth. Consequently, people are looking at cloud seeding to solve the problem — a method of encouraging precipitation (降水) by sending small particles of certain chemicals into clouds.
Cloud-seeding expert Arlen Huggins has been studying its effectiveness. “My earliest experience was to use cloud seeding to reduce the amount of hail (冰雹) in northeast Colorado. We didn’t have any luck with that, but we had success later on in increasing snowfall in Utah. Now, the focus is shifting towards increasing rainfall from summer clouds, which is far more unpredictable.” said he.
The problem is that it’s pretty hard to know whether precipitation resulted directly from cloud seeding. It might have rained or snowed anyway. Even if you practice cloud seeding in one place and don’t in another, it’s impossible to know for sure what caused the precipitation. “As cloud seeding is expensive and its effectiveness uncertain, its usefulness is still a matter of opinion,” says Katja Friedrich, a researcher of University of Colorado.
Additionally, it’s not during foggy and snowy conditions that people think of increasing the chance of rainfall. When a country is hit by drought, then cloud seeding isn’t an option due to the lack of clouds. During drought, skies tend to be clear with few clouds. The best option to prevent drought is to seed at times of the year when rainfall levels are normal or higher.
There are also environmental issues regarding the impact of cloud seeding. At high levels, the chemicals sent into the clouds can harm humans and other animals, and some studies have found them slightly poisonous. Apart from that, some environmentalists are concerned about the long-term impacts, as there isn’t data on how much those chemicals accumulate in the environment over 10 years.
8. What is the purpose of cloud seeding?
A. To increase grain output.
B. To slow down global warming.
C. To reduce chemicals in the air.
D. To deal with dry and rain-free weather.
9. How is Arlen Huggins’ earliest experience in Paragraph 2?
A. It’s effective. B. It’s unsuccessful.
C. It’s satisfying. D. It’s fruitful.
10. What is Katja Friedrich’s attitude towards cloud seeding?
A. Favourable. B. Opposed.
C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Drought currently poses the only t hreat to forests and crops.
B. Rainmaking in any weather will come true in the near future.
C. Researchers now can not tell if rainfall is brought by cloud seeding.
D. Chemicals sent into the clouds will become less poisonous over time.
D
What does it mean to be intelligent? If it’s defined by having the biggest brain, then sperm whales (抹香鲸) — whose brain is 20 pounds — would be the brightest creatures on Earth. But, more likely, it’s how a brain is wired. Viewed in this way, intelligence is what gives an organism the best chance to survive in an environment. Language may be one of the best ways to demonstrate that kind of smarts.
“Language allowing humans to be a more advanced species is a hypothesis that somebody came up with one day without really trying to prove it,” says Erich Jarvis, a professor who studies the neuro-biology of vocal learning. “The idea stuck around, but so have other common beliefs that are not really supported with evidence,” he points out.
To get a better grasp of vocal learning and cognition, the study authors turned to songbirds. The team performed seven cognitive experiments on 214 songbirds from 23 different species. Of these, 21 species were caught from the wild. The rest two studied are domesticated (家养的). The behavioral tests examined the birds’ problem solving, for instance, figuring out how to remove an object to access the food reward. The researchers also tested two other skills often associated with intelligence: learning by association, plus what’s called reversal (倒转的) learning, in which an animal adjusts its behavior to get a reward. They then looked at whether being vocal learners helped develop the three skills, comparing 21 bird species to two others which were non-vocal learners.
Jarvis’ new study provides some of the first evidence that vocal learning — one of the crucial components for a spoken language — is associated with problem solving. Vocal learning bird species could come up with innovative ideas, such as getting seeds, or catching a worm trapped under a cup by removing the obstacle or pulling it apart. All three abilities — problem solving, associative learning, and reversal learning — are typically considered “components of intelligence,” he says.
“One question left unanswered is why there’s such a strong relationship between problem-solving abilities and vocal learning. The brain areas in charge of vocal learning are not the same ones that get activated when we need to troubleshoot (分析解决) an issue,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of psychology at Cornell University who studies vocal learning in songbirds and humans but was not involved in the study.
12. Which can probably define intelligence according to Paragraph 1?
A. Language. B. Brain size.
C. Brain structure. D. Environment.
13. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Guarantee. B. Assumption.
C. Category. D. Distribution.
14. What are Paragraphs 3&4 mainly about?
A. Habits of songbirds.
B. Methods of domesticating songbirds.
C. Outline of the study.
D. Three phases of displaying intelligence.
15. What may the text talk about next?
A. The mechanism that bridges all the brain regions.
B. The functions of the brain areas that can troubleshoot issues.
C. The reasons why songbirds’ intelligence can not develop further.
D. The reasons why vocal learning influence problem-solving abilities.

第二节(满分25分)
57. 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 doing homework with my friend Ollie at his home when he randomly started scribbling (乱画) a fish. But not just any fish. This fish was riding a skateboard and blowing a bubble that said “I’d rather be skating!”I laughed and drew a sea star saying “Quit fooling around and get to work!”
Just then, Ollie’s grandma Abuela and her friend Mr. Goldberg came into the kitchen. Mr. Goldberg was in charge of the local animal shelter. Abuela poured their tea and inquired about how things were going at the animal shelter. Mr. Goldberg sighed, shaking his head. He explained that not enough people were adopting pets, resulting in too many animals without homes.
Overhearing the conversation, Ollie offered to adopt some excitedly. But Abuela said that one noisy parrot was plenty for this house.
“Blue isn’t noisy,” defended Ollie. “He’s just musical.”
“I’d have a whole farm full of animals if I could,” I said. “But my parents say two cats and a hamster (仓鼠) are enough.”
Mr. Goldberg said he kept trying to attract people to adopt animals, but found it hard to get people’s attention these days. Ollie drew a sad whale, and I wrote the words “Please adopt me” in the shape of a whale spout (喷水). Mr. Goldberg took a look at our drawings and made favorable comments on them, saying that these clever talking animals just might grab people’s attention. And he asked us if we were willing to design a poster for his animal shelter, a proposal we happily accepted. We decided to draw some ideas on our own and meet up again the next afternoon.
That night, when I was sitting in the living room brainstorming ideas for the poster, my little brother brought in our hamster, Mr. Nibbles, to give him a little run-around time. He made a hamster playground out of couch pillows and Mr. Nibbles began to run around merrily.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We decided to make both Mr. Nibbles and Blue the stars of the poster.
