When you are about to go to a boarding school (寄宿制学校) in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective (视角), you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7:00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.
Lessons:
Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, at 10: 40 am, you’ll have a short break. The next period of classics will include two more lessons.
Lunch:

Dinner:
At 5:00 pm you will have finished your school lessons for the day. Most boarding schools in the UK offer their full boarders different kinds of hot meals to choose from.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed(饰以浮饰) in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible there.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed (遗赠) all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…“PAID IN FULL”.
4. On the graduation day, what did the father actually give to the son as a gift?
A. A bible and a car B. A lot of money C. A big house D. Some gold
5. Before his father’s death the young man ___________.
A. learned a lot from his father B. got what he had longed for from his father
C. failed to understand his father D. kept contact with father regularly

A. A loving father B. The holy Bible
C. A tragedy of father and son D. A missed Blessing(Gift)
7. Which of the sayings may be suitable for this story?
A. Like father, like son
B. East or west, home is the best
C. Nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.
D. Cherish your family love or it may be too late to regret
C
People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language.
Last year, the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”.
Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”.
“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify (确认)regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down.
The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.
8. Which of the following word has been added to OED?
A. Agley. B. Frog-drowner. C. Cuddy wifter. D. Catawampous.
9. “Ice-cold” is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. brick B. dookers C. hammajang D. ahoo
10. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage?
A. More than 100 countries take part in the project.
B. The OED’s editors are dissatisfied with last year’s revision.
C. It is challenging to recognize the written form of some regional words.
D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s time to find the source of local words.
B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals.
C. The same English words can be used to say different things.
D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe.
D
Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development.
Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.
Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.
While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.
Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other.
So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Time needed to do sports. B. Proper places for exercise.
C. Sports suitable for children. D. Advantages of doing exercise.
13. Which of the following is fine motor skill?
A. Taking weightlifting exercise. B. Picking up stones on the beach.
C. Walking on the roads with care. D. Playing tennis on the playground.
14. Why do some children feel happy to talk outside?
A Because they have less stress from study. B. Because they like to take more adventures.
C. Because they feel less watched or overheard. D. Because they love animals living in the wild.
15. Who is the text mainly written for?
A. Parents. B. Children. C. Teachers. D. Researchers.

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”
On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back.

When you are about to go to a boarding school (寄宿制学校) in England, there are many different questions that may come to mind. But once you look at them with some perspective (视角), you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day.
Early Morning:
Usually boarders get up around 7:00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast.
Lessons:
Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two lessons, at 10: 40 am, you’ll have a short break. The next period of classics will include two more lessons.
Lunch:
Lunch is usually held around 12:30 pm at the dining hall, where you’ll join your friends to enjoy a hot dish. After an hour of lunch, you’ll have three or four more lessons to attend.
Dinner:
At 5:00 pm you will have finished your school lessons for the day. Most boarding schools in the UK offer their full boarders different kinds of hot meals to choose from.
Activities/ Sports:
All boarding schools in the UK provide many different kinds of activities for their boarders, such as football, swimming, golf or art.
Prep:
An important part of boarding school life is the supervised homework session known as “prop”. Although “prep” might sound stressful, it’s a great way for you to keep up with your studies.
Free time:
Once you have done all your classes and activities, it’s time to relax.
Bedtime:
In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10:30 pm.

B
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had bought the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed(饰以浮饰) in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible there.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed (遗赠) all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…“PAID IN FULL”.
4. On the graduation day, what did the father actually give to the son as a gift?
A. A bible and a car B. A lot of money C. A big house D. Some gold
5. Before his father’s death, the young man ___________.

【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲了一个年轻人在他毕业那天没有从父亲那里收到他想要的跑车,而是一本圣经,于是他从家里跑出去,再也不回家。直到他父亲去世,他回家看到那本圣经,打开后发现,里面有一把跑车的钥匙,标签上的日期正是毕业那天。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed(饰以浮饰) in gold.( 年轻人很好奇,但又有些失望,他打开盒子,发现里面是一本精美的皮面《圣经》,上面用金色凸印着年轻人的名字。)”和最后一段的“As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words…“PAID IN FULL”.(就在他读的时候,一把车钥匙从《圣经》的后面掉了出来。车的标签上写着经销商的名字,就是他想要的那辆跑车的经销商。标签上写着他的毕业日期,还有一行字:“已全部付清”。)”可知,毕业日,父亲送给儿子的礼物是一本圣经和一辆车。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible there.(他生气地提高嗓门对父亲说:“你有那么多钱,你就给我一本《圣经》?”然后,他冲出了房子,把圣经留在了那里。)”和第三段的“He had not seen him since that graduation day.( 自从毕业那天起,他就没见过他。)”可推断,在父亲死前,年轻人不理解父亲。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要记叙了一个年轻人想要一辆漂亮的跑车,他知道他的父亲完全有能力买得起。结果在毕业典礼的那天早上,他却收到了一本《圣经》,年轻人非常生气,离开了家,再也没有回去看过父亲。直到后来父亲去世,年轻人又看到了那本《圣经》,翻动时,一把汽车钥匙从《圣经》的背面掉了下来,正是他梦寐以求的那辆车。故事告诉我们不能只看事物的表面。可知由此可知,D选项“A missed Blessing(Gift)( 错过的祝福(礼物))”最符合文章标题,故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.(当他到达父亲的家时,突然的悲伤和遗憾充满了他的内心。)”并通读全文可知,这位年轻人以为父亲没有给他买他心仪的跑车,还因此再没有去看望过父亲。父亲去世后,他来到父亲的房子,悲伤和后悔充满了他的心。后来得知原来父亲早就给他买下了跑车,钥匙就夹在那本不起眼的圣经里。因此可知,这个故事告诉读者要珍惜亲情,否则后悔就晚了。故选D。
C
People speak English in different parts of the world. The same words can be used in different ways, depending on where you live. People can also have completely different ways of saying the same thing.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional (地区的) differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language.
Last year the OED, BBC Radio and the Forward Arts Foundation teamed up to find local words in the United Kingdom. It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was “cuddy wifter”, which means “a left-handed person”.
Now, the OED is widening its search to English speakers around the world. Eleanor Maier, an editor at OED, said the reaction has been great. Editors are listing a number of suggestions to include in the dictionary. These include Hawaii’s “hammajang”, which means “in a disorderly state”. Another is the word for a swimsuit, “dookers” or “duckers”. It is used in Scotland.
The OED also might include the word “frog-drowner”, which Americans might use to describe a downpour of rain. Another possibility is “brick”. It means “very cold” used by people in New Jersey and New York City.
The dictionary has already found that, depending on location, a picture hanging off center might be described as “agley”. It might also be called “catawampous” or “ahoo”.
“The OED aims to cover all types of English,” Maier said. That includes scientific words, slang and regional language. Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify (确认)regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down.
The project is called Words Where You Are. It is looking for more suggestions. “We were surprised and pleased by the number of regional words we were able to include,” said Maier.
8. Which of the following word has been added to OED?
A. Agley. B. Frog-drowner. C. Cuddy wifter. D. Catawampous.
9. “Ice-cold” is closest in meaning to “________”.
A. brick B. dookers C. hammajang D. ahoo
10. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage?
A. More than 100 countries take part in the project.
B. The OED’s editors are dissatisfied with last year’s revision.
C. It is challenging to recognize the written form of some regional words.
D. It is necessary for English learners to have an Oxford English Dictionary.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s time to find the source of local words.
B. The OED aims to collect new words from locals.
C. The same English words can be used to say different things.
D. The OED will include more regional words from around the globe.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是牛津英语词典邀请公众帮助它添加新词,扩大该词典对语言的收录。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It resulted in more than 100 regional words and phrases being added to the dictionary. One was ‘cuddy wifter’, which means ‘a left-handed person’.(这导致100多个地区的单词和短语被添加到词典中。其中一个是‘cuddy wifter’,意思是‘左撇子’)”可知,cuddy wifter已经被收录到牛津英语词典里。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“Another possibility is ‘brick’. It means ‘very cold’ used by people in New Jersey and New York City.(另一种可能是‘brick’。它的意思是“非常冷”,新泽西和纽约的人使用这个词)”可知,Ice-cold的意思和 brick 意思最接近,都表示非常冷。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Maier also said that it can be difficult for the OED’s editors to identify regional words. Because the terms are more often spoken than written down.(梅尔还说,《牛津英语词典》的编辑很难识别地方词汇。因为这些词语更多的是口语使用,而不是书面表达)”可知,确认区域性词汇的拼写是很有挑战性的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Oxford English Dictionary(OED)is asking the public to help it add new words. Editors want to find the regional differences in English around the world. They want to increase its record of the language.(牛津英语词典》正在向公众征集新词。编辑们想要找出世界各地英语的地域差异。他们想要增加该语言的收录)”以及文章主要内容可知,文章主要围绕牛津词典将收录更多来自世界各地的地域性词汇展开。故选D项。
D
Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development.
Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.
Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.
While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.
Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other.
So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on?
A. Time needed to do sports. B. Proper places for exercise.
C. Sports suitable for children. D. Advantages of doing exercise.
13. Which of the following is fine motor skill?
A. Taking weightlifting exercise. B. Picking up stones on the beach.
C. Walking on the roads with care. D. Playing tennis on the playground.
14. Why do some children feel happy to talk outside?
A. Because they have less stress from study. B. Because they like to take more adventures.
C. Because they feel less watched or overheard. D. Because they love animals living in the wild.
15. Who is the text mainly written for?
A. Parents. B. Children. C. Teachers. D. Researchers.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。在外面玩对孩子有很多好处。仅仅10到15分钟就可以支持身体和精神的发展。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.(一般来说,孩子们应该以每天做60分钟的运动为目标。这可能是跑步,攀登,跳跃,跳跃或在公园踢球。锻炼有助于孩子保持健康的体型和保持健康的体重。它能增强肌肉力量,提高平衡能力。运动对心理健康也有好处。它会在他们的大脑中释放内啡肽,这会让他们感到更快乐。)”可知,第二段主要介绍了锻炼的好处,故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.(精细的运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力。孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能。)”可知,精细运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力,孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能,由此可知,在沙滩上捡石头是精细运动。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.(有些孩子可能会发现他们更乐于在户外交谈。由于周围观看或偷听他们的人越来越少,他们可以更大胆地使用自己的语言。)”可知,有些孩子喜欢在外面聊天是因为他们觉得没有那么多人监视或偷听。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.(因此,你应该考虑在日常生活中让孩子有机会在户外活动。探索你所在的区域。或者安排一些活动或者家庭运动日。)”中的your daily life for children可推知,本文是写给家长的。故选A。

Learning a language is usually ____36____ (difference) from learning other subjects. It includes a lot of practice and follow-ups. When ____37____ (talk) about my personal experience, I would say that I have a rich experience in learning English ____38____ a second language.
I learned English for ten years starting from Grade Seven to graduation from university. After graduation, I felt that I should improve my language skills.

I still remember my first English teachers ____40____ changed frequently (频繁地) in ____41____ beginning, but all of them had much in common — They used grammar-translation method.

【答案】36. different
37. talking
38. as 39. takes
40. who##that
41. the 42. were asked
43. activities
44. to use 45. correctly
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”学习第二语言——英语的经历。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学习一门语言通常不同于学习其他科目。它包括大量的练习和后续行动。空处应填形容词作表语,“be different from”为固定搭配,意为“与……不同”。故填different。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句的省略或非谓语动词。句意:当谈到我的个人经历时,我会说我在学习英语作为第二语言方面有丰富的经验。句子还原应为“When I was talking about my personal experience, I would say…”,当状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同,而且从句谓语动词含有be的形式时,可以将从句中相同的主语和be的形式省略;也可理解为talk与其逻辑主语I存在主动关系,故用所给动词的现在分词。故填talking。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。“as a second language”意为“作为第二外语”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:的确,学习一门语言需要一生的时间。本句在描述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语是动名词短语learning a language,表示单数意义,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我还记得我的第一个英语老师,他们一开始经常更换,但他们都有很多共同点——他们使用语法翻译方法。本句为限制性定语从句,先行词为teachers,表示人,且从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。“in the beginning”意为“刚开始”,为固定搭配。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:他们过去常常在黑板上写下双语单词表,然后我们作为学生,被要求抄写这些单词表并记住它们。主语we(学生)是所给词ask的承受者,且动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填were asked。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:所有的教学都侧重于阅读和写作技能,但没有针对口语或听力的活动。此处为there be句型的主语,由于be用的是were,因此临近的名词需用相应的复数形式。故填activities。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,我仍然不完全知道如何使用英语语言,比如使用习语和正确的词汇形式。此处是“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构,为固定用法,在句中作宾语。故填to use。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,我还应该更加努力地正确使用某些词汇。此处修饰动词use,应用提示词的副词形式。故填correctly。

第二节(满分25分)
61. 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。
Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”
“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.
“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it?” asked the man kindly.
“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”
On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
注意:
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she pushed the door open and entered the house, she found her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sunk down into the sofa. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered. “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
At that time, her mother came back and touched her hair gently, which called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, fatigued but relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’ arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” she expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently. It dawned on Jenny that Mum’s love was invisible and intangible, but always surrounded us.
