On a winter afternoon，a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house.I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out.The stone was too smooth，however，so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window of the house. 学生用书↓第39页 At the sound of broken glass，we knew we were in trouble.We turned and ran away quickly.I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter.However，a few days later，when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered，I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper，but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money，and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.I waited until dark and put the letter that I didn't sign in her letterbox. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The next day，I delivered the newspaper to her as usual._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After several cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 一审——审要素 背景Setting When&Where On a winter afternoon，the old lady's house. 角色Characters Who “I”，the old lady 情节Plot What A friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. We turned and ran away quickly. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money. I put the money in an envelope with a note explanation. I waited until dark and put the letter that I didn't sign in her letterbox. Why The stone was too smooth that it slipped from my hand，heading straight on a small window of the house. I was too scared about getting caught. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper. 情感Feeling How scared→concerned→guilty→uncomfortable→sorry 二定——定主题：正能量原则 原文依据 I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money，and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. 主题 A person，who recognizes his mistake，is honest and takes responsibility bravely and is worthy of respect. 三推测——两步段首句定发展：三衔接原则 (一)标出段首句的关键词 第一段首句：The next day，I delivered the newspaper to her as usual. 学生用书↓第40页 第二段首句：After several cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. (二)基于三衔接原则：利用复现、代词指代及过渡衔接词三大方法做好衔接。 ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我像往常一样给她送报纸。”可知，第一段可描写作者送报纸时，老太太送给他一袋她亲手做的饼干，以感谢作者送报纸，作者回家后很开心地享用饼干。 ②由第二段首句内容“吃了几块饼干后，我摸到了一个信封，把它从袋子里拿了出来。”可知，第二段可描写作者发现了袋子里有老太太写的便条，还有7美元的钱，这时作者才意识到老太太早就知道真相，作者因此决定做一个诚实又负责的人。 ③由此可推测第一段的结局：“我”迫切地打开包，享受着美味的饼干，沉浸在自己的快乐中。第二段的结局：通过此次送报纸的经历，作者体会到：做一名诚实和负责任的人的重要性。 四构思——每段三个微情节原则 第一段 情节 彼此微笑； 接受礼物； 惊讶，不知所措； 我打开包； 享受饼干。 动作链 我交给她报纸→她向我微笑→我咧嘴笑→我离开→她给我饼干→表达我的感激→我打开包→享受饼干 心理描写 surprised adj.惊讶的 at a loss不知所措 happy adj.幸福的；快乐的 第二段 情节 我打开信封； 我惊呆； 我感动； 我告诉自己，一定要做一个诚实和负责任的人。 动作链 打开→意识→泪水涌出→告诉 心理描写 stunned adj.惊呆的 参考范文： The next day，I delivered the newspaper to her as usual.(首段首句确定框架，续写方向1) She gave me a warm smile and I grinned to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.When I was about to leave，she gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself to thank me for the newspaper.(动作链，续写方向2)．I was surprised to receive it，showing my gratitude at a loss (动词-ing形式短语作状语，续写方向3)．On arriving home，I couldn't wait to open the bag and enjoy the delicious cookies happily，feeling as though I were floating in an ocean of joy.(动作心理描写，续写方向4……具体内容，衔接第二段首句)． After several cookies，I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.(首段首句确定框架，续写方向5)When I opened the envelope，I was stunned (神情描写)．Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said，“You are an honest child.I'm proud of you.” It wasn't until then that I realized that the old lady had already known the truth. (强调句)She had been waiting for my reaction. So moved was I that I couldn't contain myself，with tears welling in my eyes. (部分倒装句) From that day on，I told myself I was bound to be an honest and responsible person.(主旨升华，续写方向6……具体内容) Cross talk The cross talk is a genre of folk Quyi involving mainly talking and singing.According to the records of ancient books，the cross talk can trace back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.Later on，after a long-term constant integration with other forms of arts，the cross talk has become what it is today.The Chinese Cross talk originated from Beijing，Tianjin and Nanjing and spread throughout the entire country. As one of the folk art forms in China，the cross talk has a close relationship with Pingshu(storytelling)，Lianhualao(singing accompanied by the performer himself/herself with bamboo clappers)，and Kuaiban (fast boards or bamboo talk)．The term“cross talk”，originally known as “xiangsheng” in Chinese.It means acts imitation，oral stunts，and farce.The main props of the cross talk include folding fans，handkerchiefs and gavel.It can be divided into various kinds：in terms of the number of performers，it can be divided into stand-up comedy，comic dialogue and group cross talk; in terms of content style，it can be classified into Qingmen Cross talk (with civilized words) and Shijing Cross talk (popular among the public); in terms of the time when the script is written，it can be categorized into traditional cross talk and modern cross talk.Besides its major performance skills like shuo (talking)，xue (imitating)，dou (teasing) and chang(singing)，Chinese Cross talk requires instant reaction on the stage to make impromptu comic gestures or remarks. 相声 相声是一种民间说唱曲艺。根据古籍的记载，早在春秋战国时期就已经有了相声。后来，经过长期不断地融合发展，相声最终演变成今天的面貌。中国相声源自北京、天津和南京地区，而后发展到全国各地。 相声作为中国曲艺的门类之一，与评书、莲花落、快板等有着千丝万缕的联系。相声最初被称为“像声”或“象生”，意为模仿、模仿口技和滑稽表演。相声表演的主要道具为折扇、手绢和醒木。相声有多种分类形式：根据演出人员人数的不同，可分为单口、对口和群口相声；根据内容格调的不同，可分为清门相声和市井相声；根据创作年代的不同，可分为传统相声和现代相声。相声的主要表现形式是说、学、逗、唱，也需临场反应，插科打诨、随机应变。 单元检测卷(一)　UNIT 4　HUMOUR (时间：120分钟　满分：150分) (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What's wrong with Mark?

Finally，several months later，as they prepared to open the resort to the public，the pandemic struck.They'd just been fully booked throughout the fall and winter months when the new disaster stopped everything as the Bahamas were put on lockdown. With tourism opening up again，new plans are now for an October launch，but they're just taking things one day at a time.“I think at the end of this pandemic，we'll find many people are searching for a different experience，” says Bryan.“Instead of crowding into large resorts，they'll be going to properties where they can meet people，connect with the locals and experience nature.Our hotel is just such a place.” Now the couple is focusing on the future while creating new development for visitors.“We certainly have plans to responsibly and sustainably develop the island that will help support the local economy，” says Bryan. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对著名的真人秀夫妇在安德罗斯岛上修建宾馆的故事。 24．What can we learn from the first paragraph?

What I did not realize，however，was why or how it made me feel better about myself.I wanted to find out just exactly how humour affects us in our lives，and whether or not it played a key role in having a longer and more enjoyable life. From my research，I found many different ways that humour can influence our emotions and physical health.These benefits are split into two different sections：short-term and long-term. One example of the short-term benefits of humour would be that laughter induces relaxation.It gets many muscles moving in your body.One reason why muscles get tense is lack of oxygen flow.Once you laugh as a response to humour，it increases the flow of oxygen to the muscles，resulting in a more relaxed and more energy-filled body.Another short-term benefit is that laughter causes pain relief.This is achieved by intense stimulation of organs in the body，which leads to increased circulation and blood flow. As for the long-term effects，they can be just as rewarding.For example，one thing laughter can do in the long run is improve the overall health of the heart.This happens because，like stated earlier，laughter increases blood flow.Since the heart is the organ that regulates all blood flow in the body，naturally the heart becomes strengthened.One last long-term benefit from humour is that it can reduce stress levels and boost the immune system. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了幽默给健康带来的短期和长期的益处。 32．What benefit of humour does the author mention in the first paragraph?

A．Skips. B．Decreases. C．Needs. D．Causes. 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中“One example of the short-term...in a more relaxed and more energy-filled body.”可知，笑可以解决肌肉缺氧的问题，让身体放松。由此推知，induces意为“引起”，与cause意思一致。故选D项。 34．How does the author show the long-term benefits of humour?

In the early 70's my mother attended college during the day and I was in day care.One day at day care I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter.The little girl asked，“Momma，are we going to McDonald's for dinner？” The mother replied，“Honey，not tonight.Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie，I said not tonight.Maybe，if you are a good girl，we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor，kicking and screaming，“I want to go to McDonald's.” No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie's tantrum (发脾气)．Finally her mother gave in，“Okay，Susie，let's go to McDonald's.” Susie stopped yelling.With a smile on her face she grabbed her mother's hand and they left.To say I was amazed would be inaccurate (不准确的)；I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum. That day my mother picked me up early from day care because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items.I was excited by the lights and decorations，and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter，I saw a toy I had to have.It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string.Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked，“Mama，can I have that telephone？” She replied，“Baby，not now，but if you are a good girl，maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama，I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine.“Becky，you can't have that telephone today，but if you misbehave，you can have a spanking.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill，and I figured it was a good chance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Mama，stop.Mama，get up，” I tearfully pleaded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill，and I figured it was a good chance.I lay down on the ground and began screaming，“I want that telephone，” over and over again.Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said，“Becky，you had better get up by the count of three or else...One...Two...Three.” Nothing.I was still in full tantrum.So then she lay down beside me on the floor，and began kicking and screaming，“I want a new car.I want a new house.I want some jewelry.I want...” Shocked，I stood up. “Mama，stop.Mama，get up，” I tearfully pleaded.She stood，and brushed herself off.At first stunned，the others waiting in line began to clap，and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back.She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store，shook their heads at me and said with a smile，“Your mom got you good.I bet you'll never try that again.” And I didn't，because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark. 学生用书↓第41页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
