I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city. We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English. We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us. Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come. What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story. 4. What happened to the author and his family on the train? A. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train. B. They failed to get off the train at the right time. C. They had different opinions about where to go first. D. They found it hard to communicate with the French. 5. How did the man help the author and his family? A. He paid for their train tickets. B. He showed them the returning way. C. He invited them to travel together. D. He led them to their place. 6. Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. Being kind is a good manner. C. Travelling enriches one’s life. D. Helping others brings great pleasure. 7. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text? A. To explain an unexpected problem. B. To list the unbelievable sites in Paris. C. To share an unforgettable foreign experience. D. To show the importance of mastering a foreign language. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者十二岁时和父亲在法国旅行，在去凡尔赛的路上，坐过了站，一位老人帮助了他们。这位老人为了确保他们能到达他们想去的地方而陪他们坐了一个半小时的火车。这件事使作者印象深刻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English. (我们决定乘火车参观凡尔赛。一路上我们愉快地聊天，直到我父亲意识到我们远在法国农村，周围没有人会说英语)”和第三段中的“We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. (我们到达了终点，当所有人最后都离开火车时，我们感到害怕)”可知，作者和家人想去凡尔赛宫游玩，却坐过了站，他们没能及时下火车。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. (这个善良的人为了确保三个美国人到达他们想去的地方，特地坐了一个半小时的火车。)”可知，通过把他们带到他们想去的地方，老人帮助了作者和他的家人。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story. (给我印象最深的是这个男人和他在这次奇妙的旅行中的善良。有些美国人出于某种原因认为法国人很粗鲁，但我总是试图用这个故事来说服他们改变想法。)”可知，作者用自己的经历说明一些美国人对法国人的看法是不正确的，所以要得出真正的事实，应该“眼见为实”，即Seeing is believing。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“At 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. (12岁时，父亲决定带我去法国旅行)”，最后一段“What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story.(最让我印象深刻的是在这惊人的旅行种这个男人和他的善良。由于某些原因，一些美国人认为法国人很粗鲁，但我总是试图用这个故事来说服他们改变主意)”可知，作者写作这篇文章的目的是为了分享一个难忘的国外经历。故选C项。 C Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. Maybe it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly. Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way. Your body (or more likely, your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don’t eat breakfast, you may feel so hungry by lunchtime that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you are starving. For many people, eating breakfast may be an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep up a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps your metabolism (新陈代谢) running higher. In fact, it takes three or four days of eating nothing before the body starts changing down your metabolism. It’s more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day. Breakfast should include a healthy source of protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunchtime. The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein. High-fiber foods, include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts. 8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Eating breakfast keeps us healthier than skipping it. B. Skipping breakfast isn’t very useful for losing weight. C. Our brain needs a lot of fuel to work properly. D What healthy food we should eat for breakfast 9. What does the underlined word “tempted” Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Pretended. B. Determined. C. Attracted. D. Warned. 10. All the following are a good source of protein EXCEPT _______. A. low-fat meat B. low-fat dairy products C. vegetables D. eggs 11. The passage is most probably taken from _______. A. a news report B. a personal diary C. a biology book D. a healthy life website 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。早餐对人们的工作和学习非常重要，在减肥食谱中也不可或缺，同样不吃早餐会对身体产生不好的影响，文章同时也对如何摄入健康营养的早餐进行了介绍。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way.(不吃早餐是试图减肥的人常用的方法，但不幸的是，这通常不是一个成功的方法。)”可知，第二段主要是讲不吃早餐对减肥没什么帮助。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中的“when you feel like you are starving(当你觉得饥饿时)”可知，此处是指被诱惑选择不健康的食物，所以tempted意为“吸引、引诱”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句和第三句“The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein.(这种蛋白质可以来自低脂肉类、低脂乳制品或坚果。鸡蛋也是很好的蛋白质来源。)”可知，选项中除了蔬菜以外都是很好的蛋白质来源。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. Maybe it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly.(研究表明，吃早餐的孩子在学校表现更好。也许成年人也是如此，因为我们的大脑需要燃料才能正常工作。)”和最后一段“If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.(如果你真的不喜欢在早上吃早餐，你可以把它分成两小餐。上班前在家吃一个煮熟的鸡蛋或一小杯酸奶，然后一两个小时后，休息一下，吃一个苹果和一把健康的坚果，比如胡桃或核桃。)”可知，文章主要是讲健康饮食的，所以最有可能来自一个健康生活网站。故选D。 D Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction(灭绝). When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat(威胁). The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant, while the commercial value of beef protects the cow? The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to protect the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain(维持) the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. Governments have tried to solve the elephants’ problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to decrease. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they own in common with others. ” 12. Why does the author mention buffalo in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a similar threat to elephant. B. To provide an example of species extinction. C. To offer an explanation for government policies. D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America. 13. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe? A. They are under different law protection. B. They attract different groups of hunters. C. They contain different commercial value. D. They represent different ownership types. 14. Which of the following can best summarize paragraph 4? A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory. B. Effective laws for elephant protection. C. Methods of making elephants private goods. D. Government policies on the elephants’ problem. 15. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words? A. People hold little regard for others’ property. B. People want to profit from common resources. C. People care more about what they have. D. People tend to take what they own for granted. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过谈论作为公共资源的大象濒临灭绝，而作为私有财产的饲养牛却能安全生存，说明了人们对私有财产比公共资源更加关心的现象。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. (然而，狩猎水牛在19世纪是如此流行，以至于到了1900年，野牛的数量已经下降到大约400只，直到政府介入保护这个物种。今天在一些国家，大象也面临着类似的挑战，因为非法捕猎者为了获取象牙而捕杀这种动物)”可知，作者之所以提到水牛，是为了介绍大象所面临的类似威胁。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. (原因是大象是一种公共资源，而牛是私人物品。大象在没有主人的情况下自由走动。猎人有强烈的动机去猎杀尽可能多的大象)”及“By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. (相比之下，牛生活在私人拥有的农场上。每个农场主都在努力维持农场的牲畜数量，因为他们收获了这些努力的成果)”可知，之所以大象面临威胁，而牛是安全的，是因为它们各自代表着不同的所有权类型。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Governments have tried to solve the elephant’s problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. (各国政府试图通过两种方式来解决大象的问题。一些国家，如肯尼亚和乌干达，已经将猎杀大象和出售象牙定为非法行为)”以及“By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. (相比之下，其他国家，如马拉维和纳米比亚，则把大象当作私人物品，允许人们猎杀大象，但仅限于在他们自己的领地上)”可知，第四段通过举例说明各国政府对大象的政策。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Aristotle所说“What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they own in common with others.(对大多数人来说共同的东西最不被重视，因为所有人都更关心自己的东西，而不是他们与他人共同拥有的东西)”可推知，人们更关心自己所拥有的。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose the Right School Club Choosing the right school club can significantly improve the quality your high school experience. ___16___ Know Your Interests Start by considering your hobbies, passions, and academic interests.

There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her. I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白、解说员) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden. It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful --- even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled, patting me gently. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said. 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。 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the play, I took home the dandelions. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is just as important as the part of a princess.” Her wise words inspired me with courage and confidence. But on the evening of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage again. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give you this,” she said, handing me some dandelions. Looking at them, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down. After the play, I took home the dandelions. My mother made them into dried flowers and put them into a glass bottle. Every time I see them, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. I have taken part in many school plays, tried different roles and made many speeches ever since. Gradually, I’ve become really good at performing and public speaking, seldom feeling nervous onstage now. For this, I am forever grateful to my mother, who have made me what I am today. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开。作者在学校戏剧彩排时，由于紧张而失去了公主的角色，被换成了旁白角色，作者非常伤心，和妈妈一起在花园里散步时，妈妈看出了她的心事并且用蒲公英做例子告诉她“不是每个人都能做公主，做不成公主不是什么丢人的事情”。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说，但你会成为一名出色的旁白。”可知，第一段可描写作者在妈妈的鼓励下如何把“旁白”的角色扮演得很好，又因为下一段开头提到了“the dandelions”，所以本段一定要安排它的出现，要讲出妈妈将蒲公英托老师给了作者的细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，我带着蒲公英回了家。”可知，第二段可描写作者在蒲公英的激励和鼓舞之下又进一步取得了很多好的成绩，进而表达对妈妈的感激之情。 2.续写线索：做旁白——紧张——妈妈送来了蒲公英——镇静下来——成功完成演出——取得更多成绩——感激妈妈 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激励：inspire/encourage ②使镇静：calm down/ease down/smooth down ③使某人想起：remind sb of sth/call up 情绪类 ①勇气：courage/bravery ②紧张的：nervous/tense 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking at them, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.(使用了现在分词短语作状语和which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] Every time I see them, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. (使用了every time引导时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 内江二中高2027届2024—2025学年度上期半期考试 英语试题 试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city. We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English. We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us. Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come. What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story. 4. What happened to the author and his family on the train? A. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train. B. They failed to get off the train at the right time. C. They had different opinions about where to go first. D. They found it hard to communicate with the French. 5. How did the man help the author and his family? A. He paid for their train tickets. B. He showed them the returning way. C. He invited them to travel together. D. He led them to their place. 6. Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph? A. Seeing is believing. B. Being kind is a good manner. C. Travelling enriches one’s life. D. Helping others brings great pleasure. 7. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text? A. To explain an unexpected problem. B. To list the unbelievable sites in Paris. C. To share an unforgettable foreign experience. D. To show the importance of mastering a foreign language. C Research studies indicate that children who eat breakfast perform better at school. Maybe it works that way for adults too since our brains need fuel to work properly. Skipping breakfast is a common way for people who are trying to lose weight, but unfortunately, it’s usually not a successful way. Your body (or more likely, your brain) expects to be refueled a few times each day. When you don’t eat breakfast, you may feel so hungry by lunchtime that you eat more foods than you normally would, which cancels out the calories you cut by skipping breakfast. You may also be tempted to choose foods that are not the healthiest choices when you feel like you are starving. For many people, eating breakfast may be an important part of a weight loss diet. Research studies tell us that people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep up a healthy weight. Some experts believe that breakfast keeps your metabolism (新陈代谢) running higher. In fact, it takes three or four days of eating nothing before the body starts changing down your metabolism. It’s more likely that people who regularly eat breakfast also make good dietary choices the rest of the day. Breakfast should include a healthy source of protein and plenty of fiber; the combination will help satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunchtime. The protein can come from low-fat meat, low-fat dairy products, or nuts. Eggs are also a good source of protein. High-fiber foods, include fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If you really don’t like to eat breakfast in the morning, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard-boiled egg, or a small cup of yogurt at home before you leave for work, and then about an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts. 8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Eating breakfast keeps us healthier than skipping it. B. Skipping breakfast isn’t very useful for losing weight. C. Our brain needs a lot of fuel to work properly. D. What healthy food we should eat for breakfast 9. What does the underlined word “tempted” Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Pretended. B. Determined. C. Attracted. D. Warned. 10. All the following are a good source of protein EXCEPT _______. A. low-fat meat B. low-fat dairy products C. vegetables D. eggs 11. The passage is most probably taken from _______. A. a news report B. a personal diary C. a biology book D. a healthy life website D Throughout history, many species of animals have been threatened with extinction(灭绝). When Europeans first arrived in North America, more than 60 million buffalo lived on the continent. Yet hunting the buffalo was so popular during the 19th century that by 1900 the animal’s population had fallen to about 400 before the government stepped in to protect the species. In some countries today, the elephant faces a similar challenge, as illegal hunters kill the animals for the ivory in their tusks. Yet not all animals with commercial value face this threat(威胁). The cow, for example, is a valuable source of food, but no one worries that the cow will soon be extinct. Why does the commercial value of ivory threaten the elephant, while the commercial value of beef protects the cow? The reason is that elephants are a common resource, while cows are private goods. Elephants wander freely without any owners. The hunter has a strong motivation to kill as many elephants as he can find. Because illegal hunters are numerous, each has only a slight motivation to protect the elephant population. By contrast, cattle live on farms that are privately owned. Each farmer makes great effort to maintain(维持) the cattle population on his farm because he harvests the benefit of these efforts. Governments have tried to solve the elephants’ problem in two ways. Some countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, have made it illegal to kill elephants and sell their ivory. Yet these laws have been hard to put into effect, and elephant populations have continued to decrease. By contrast, other countries, such as Malawi and Namibia, have made elephants private goods and allowed people to kill elephants, but only those on their own property. With private ownership and the profit motive now on its side, the African elephant might someday be as safe from extinction as the cow. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle pointed out the problem with common resources: “What is common to many is taken least care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than for what they own in common with others. ” 12. Why does the author mention buffalo in Paragraph 1? A. To introduce a similar threat to elephant. B. To provide an example of species extinction. C. To offer an explanation for government policies. D. To present the statistics of the buffalo in America. 13. Why do elephants face threats while cows are safe? A. They are under different law protection. B. They attract different groups of hunters. C. They contain different commercial value. D. They represent different ownership types. 14. Which of the following can best summarize paragraph 4? A. Bans on killing elephants for ivory. B. Effective laws for elephant protection. C. Methods of making elephants private goods. D. Government policies on the elephants’ problem. 15. What can we learn from Aristotle’s words? A. People hold little regard for others’ property. B. People want to profit from common resources. C. People care more about what they have. D. People tend to take what they own for granted. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Choose the Right School Club Choosing the right school club can significantly improve the quality your high school experience. ___16___ Know Your Interests Start by considering your hobbies, passions, and academic interests.

There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her. I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白、解说员) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden. It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful --- even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled, patting me gently. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said. 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。 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the play, I took home the dandelions. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
