A 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Ko Phi Phi, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. “People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on,” she said.
Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.
Lang was stuck underwater between debris (碎片) with the surface just above her face. “The more I struggled (挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed,” she said. “I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater.”
The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony (阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.
24. What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened?
A. She was running in a race. B. She was playing on the beach.
C. She was shopping in the street. D. She was looking for her friend.
25. Why was Lang unable to run?
A. There was a wall in the way. B. She feared she would get lost.
C. She had to wait for her friend. D. The racing water was too powerful.
26. What can we learn about Lang from paragraph 3?
A. She didn’t want to struggle. B. She was trapped underwater.
C. She didn’t regret going on vacation. D. She kept awake all the time in the water.
27. How did Lang manage to save herself?
A. By calling for help. B. By hiding in a house.
C. By climbing up a tall tree. D. By making use of floating objects.

In the hours after the earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25,2015, thousands of rescue teams from around the world were sent there to help search for survivors through the ruins. This can be a very tough task, since it can take many hours to safely dig survivors, often in need of immediate medical care, out of the ruins.
After spending 80 hours in the ruins of a building outside Kathmandu, Rishi Khanal was pulled out alive by a French search and rescue team. Khanal had been trying to get the attention of rescue workers for days. After the team found him, they spent 10 hours digging him out. The team broke the concrete (混凝土) that trapped Khanal within the building and pulled him up through a hole before carrying him away. Khanal suffered a broken leg.
“What made his survival so unusual was that after the first three days, there was little chance of finding survivors. It seemed he survived by willpower,” said Akhilesh Shrestha, a doctor who treated Khanal.
Meanwhile, rescues of a different kind were taking place on Mount Qomolangma.
On the border (边境) between Nepal and its northern neighbor China, more than 100 people were trying to climb Mount Qomolangma when the earthquake hit. 19 people were killed when an avalanche (雪崩) caused by the earthquake hit hundreds of tents (帐篷) at base camp. At least 61 people were injured.
The surviving climbers, who were stranded (滞留) in two different camps both above 21,000 feet, have all been rescued and returned to base camp. Small helicopters carried the climbers down the mountain in groups of four or five. Landing on Qomolangma long enough to pick up a passenger is dangerous even in good conditions, and helicopters could not touch down for more than 30 seconds to pick up passengers.
28. What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Quick. B. Difficult. C. Important. D. Dangerous.
29. What did Akhilesh Shrestha say about Khanal’s survival?
A. It was thanks to Khanal’s work as a doctor. B. It depended on the rescue team’s efforts.
C. It was thought to be almost impossible. D. It encouraged other injured people.
30. What caused the death of the 19 climbers?
A. A powerful avalanche. B. Bad weather conditions.
C. Serious mountain sickness. D. A shortage of food and water.
31. Which of the following can best describe the work of rescuing climbers?
A. Risky and hopeless. B. Smooth and creative.
C. Meaningful but boring. D. Challenging but successful.
D
Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn.
Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between characters in detail; the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all?
I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.
I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1, 000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1, 000 most common on a need-to-know basis.
32. What does the author think of Chinese characters?
A They are less communicative than English words.
B. They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.
C. They show the greatness of Chinese culture.
D. They are not really that difficult.
33. What can we infer about characters in Paragraph 2?
A. Characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.
B. People believe learning to write characters is important.
C. People doubt the necessity of learning to write characters.
D Characters may disappear with the development of society.
34. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Understanding characters.
B. Being a calligraphy master.
C. Keeping a good learning habit.
D. Learning basic handwriting skills.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to learning to write characters in the digital age?
A. Uncaring. B. Worried.
C. Supportive. D. Surprised.

At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.
“Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
Paragraph 1:
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box.

【解析】
【原文】M: I’m really bored at the moment.
W: Let’s play a game. I’ll describe someone, and you try to guess who it is. OK? This man is tall and thin. He has blue eyes and curly brown hair.
M: Does he have a moustache or a beard?
W: Good question. Yes, he has a moustache, but no beard.
M: Sounds like Mike, doesn’t it?
W: Yes, you’re right! Now you describe someone we both know.
M: OK. She’s not very tall, but she is a little heavy. She has blond hair.
W: I don’t think I know anyone like that.
M: And she wears fashionable shoes. In fact, she wears fashionable clothes, too.
W: This doesn’t sound like anyone I know. I give up. Tell me who she is.
M: She’s your mother!
W: Ah, that’s actually a pretty good description. But it’s embarrassing that I couldn’t figure that out. My own mother! Do you think appearance is the most important thing about a person?
M: No, but it’s more important than a person’s character in the game we are playing.

【原文】M: I have played music for most of my life-about twenty years. My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid. I started taking lessons at the age of ten. I loved to play. I would practice for three hours a day as a kid. As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me.

A 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian coast sent a wall of water racing toward Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. Lang was on the island of Ko Phi Phi, just south of Phuket, Thailand, shopping on Main Street with her friend Rubina Wong, when suddenly everything changed. “People started running inland. From where we were, we could not see the beach so we had no idea what was going on,” she said.
Lang and Rubina started running inland in the same direction as everyone else, when she noticed water flooding into the island, but so strong and fast that she could no longer lift her feet to run. Rubina had gone down a side street. Lang never saw her alive again.
Lang was stuck underwater between debris (碎片) with the surface just above her face. “The more I struggled (挣扎), the tighter I was stuck. I could not reach the surface. I thought I came here on my vacation to die, and then I got really annoyed,” she said. “I must have blacked out because the next thing I remember is waking up underwater.”
The water was still and black. Lang looked up and could see that at the top, there was a small circle of light. She started swimming through the water and made it to the surface of the water. She pulled herself onto a floating door and could see that the whole island was flooded and a lot of buildings were gone. She could see a house not far away and a man on its roof. She encouraged herself to climb over the floating objects to the balcony (阳台) of the house. From there she saw the water start to slowly go back to the ocean.
24. What was Lang doing when the tsunami happened?
A. She was running in a race. B. She was playing on the beach.
C. She was shopping in the street. D. She was looking for her friend.
25. Why was Lang unable to run?
A. There was a wall in the way. B. She feared she would get lost.
C. She had to wait for her friend. D. The racing water was too powerful.
26. What can we learn about Lang from paragraph 3?
A. She didn’t want to struggle. B. She was trapped underwater.
C. She didn’t regret going on vacation. D. She kept awake all the time in the water.
27. How did Lang manage to save herself?
A. By calling for help. B. By hiding in a house.
C. By climbing up a tall tree. D. By making use of floating objects.

In the hours after the earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25,2015, thousands of rescue teams from around the world were sent there to help search for survivors through the ruins. This can be a very tough task, since it can take many hours to safely dig survivors, often in need of immediate medical care, out of the ruins.
After spending 80 hours in the ruins of a building outside Kathmandu, Rishi Khanal was pulled out alive by a French search and rescue team. Khanal had been trying to get the attention of rescue workers for days. After the team found him, they spent 10 hours digging him out. The team broke the concrete (混凝土) that trapped Khanal within the building and pulled him up through a hole before carrying him away. Khanal suffered a broken leg.
“What made his survival so unusual was that after the first three days, there was little chance of finding survivors. It seemed he survived by willpower,” said Akhilesh Shrestha, a doctor who treated Khanal.
Meanwhile, rescues of a different kind were taking place on Mount Qomolangma.
On the border (边境) between Nepal and its northern neighbor China, more than 100 people were trying to climb Mount Qomolangma when the earthquake hit. 19 people were killed when an avalanche (雪崩) caused by the earthquake hit hundreds of tents (帐篷) at base camp. At least 61 people were injured.
The surviving climbers, who were stranded (滞留) in two different camps both above 21,000 feet, have all been rescued and returned to base camp. Small helicopters carried the climbers down the mountain in groups of four or five. Landing on Qomolangma long enough to pick up a passenger is dangerous even in good conditions, and helicopters could not touch down for more than 30 seconds to pick up passengers.
28. What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Quick. B. Difficult. C. Important. D. Dangerous.
29. What did Akhilesh Shrestha say about Khanal’s survival?
A. It was thanks to Khanal’s work as a doctor. B. It depended on the rescue team’s efforts.
C. It was thought to be almost impossible. D. It encouraged other injured people.
30. What caused the death of the 19 climbers?
A. A powerful avalanche. B. Bad weather conditions.
C. Serious mountain sickness. D. A shortage of food and water.
31. Which of the following can best describe the work of rescuing climbers?
A. Risky and hopeless. B. Smooth and creative.
C. Meaningful but boring. D. Challenging but successful.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章描述了尼泊尔地震后的救援工作。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“In the hours after the earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25,2015, thousands of rescue teams from around the world were sent there to help search for survivors through the ruins. This can be a very tough task, since it can take many hours to safely dig survivors, often in need of immediate medical care, out of the ruins. (2015年4月25日,尼泊尔发生地震,在地震发生后的几个小时内,来自世界各地的数千支救援队被派往那里,帮助在废墟中寻找幸存者。这可能是一项非常tough的任务,因为从废墟中安全地挖出幸存者可能需要数小时,而这些幸存者往往需要立即接受医疗护理。)”可知,本句中的This指代上文中的search for survivors through the ruins,根据本句中的since it can take many hours to safely dig survivors, often in need of immediate medical care, out of the ruins可知,救援队需要花很长时间才能把幸存者从废墟中安全救出来。由此可推断,tough在此应该表示“困难的,不容易的”,与Difficult同义,故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘What made his survival so unusual was that after the first three days, there was little chance of finding survivors. It seemed he survived by willpower,’ said Akhilesh Shrestha, a doctor who treated Khanal. (‘他能活下来的不寻常之处在于,在头三天之后,几乎没有找到幸存者的机会。他似乎是靠意志力活了下来。’治疗卡纳尔的医生Akhilesh Shrestha说。)”可知,在Akhilesh Shrestha看来,卡纳尔能幸存下来的可能性微乎其微。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“19 people were killed when an avalanche (雪崩) caused by the earthquake hit hundreds of tents (帐篷) at base camp. (地震引发的雪崩袭击了大本营的数百顶帐篷,造成19人死亡。)”可知,地震引发雪崩,许多基地大本营被埋,造成19人死亡。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The surviving climbers, who were stranded (滞留) in two different camps both above 21,000 feet, have all been rescued and returned to base camp. Small helicopters carried the climbers down the mountain in groups of four or five. Landing on Qomolangma long enough to pick up a passenger is dangerous even in good conditions, and helicopters could not touch down for more than 30 seconds to pick up passengers. (幸存的登山者被困在21000英尺以上的两个不同的营地,他们都获救并返回了大本营。小型直升机载着四五人一组的登山者下山。即使在良好的条件下,在珠穆朗玛峰上降落足够长的时间来搭载乘客也是危险的,而且直升机降落的时间不能超过30秒来搭载乘客。)”可知,直升机每次只能运送四、五名受伤者,而且只能在珠穆朗玛峰上短暂停留,这使得救援工作变得困难。但是,最终所有的伤者都被成功营救。也就是说,救援工作虽然充满挑战,但也得到圆满完成。故选D项。
D
Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters. After having studied Chinese for a while, I realized that handwriting in Chinese takes a very long time to learn.
Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced. Since we enter different characters, we seldom need to be able to recognize the difference between characters in detail; the computer makes the right choices for us. Do we really need to write Chinese by hand at all?
I think most people agree that you should learn to write at least some characters at some point as a student of Chinese, although not necessarily straight away and not necessarily all the characters that you can say. But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this. Simply looking at things is, as usual, a bad way of learning.
I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1, 000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1, 000 most common on a need-to-know basis.
32. What does the author think of Chinese characters?
A. They are less communicative than English words.
B. They attract some foreigners to learn Chinese.
C. They show the greatness of Chinese culture.
D. They are not really that difficult.
33. What can we infer about characters in Paragraph 2?
A. Characters are very difficult for foreigners to learn.
B People believe learning to write characters is important.
C. People doubt the necessity of learning to write characters.
D. Characters may disappear with the development of society.
34. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Understanding characters.
B. Being a calligraphy master.
C. Keeping a good learning habit.
D. Learning basic handwriting skills.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to learning to write characters in the digital age?
A. Uncaring. B. Worried.
C. Supportive. D. Surprised.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为在一个人人拥有智能手机和平板电脑的数字时代,仍然有必要去练汉字的基本书写,建议学习书写1000个常见字。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Handwritten Chinese characters (文字) can be beautiful. I still remember looking at Chinese and not understanding anything it said and yet feeling a strong attraction. In fact, some students start learning Chinese because of the characters.(手写的汉字很漂亮。我还记得我曾经看着汉语,虽不懂是什么意思,但却感受到强烈的吸引力。事实上,一些学生开始学习中文是因为汉字)”可推测,作者提到的开始学中文的这些学生应该是外国学生,他们感受到了中国文字的吸引力,即汉字吸引了一些外国人学习汉语。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Living as we do in a digital era (数字时代) with smartphones and computers, most students sooner or later ask themselves this question: Is it really necessary to learn how to write by hand in Chinese? When using smartphones or computers, we can use phonetic input (语音输入) systems, which choose the characters we want for us as long as we can remember how they are pronounced.(我们生活在一个拥有智能手机和电脑的数字时代,大多数学生迟早会问自己这个问题:学习手写中文真的有必要吗? 当使用智能手机或电脑时,我们可以使用语音输入系统,只要我们能记住它们的发音,就可以为我们选择我们想要的字符)”可推测,人们认为有了智能电子产品,都可以使用语音输入,所以人们怀疑学习手写汉字的必要性。故选C项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词所在句子及上文“But unless you don’t care about written language at all, you should learn the basics of handwriting. Without it, it will be very hard to understand characters. You don’t need to be a calligraphy master (书法大师), but you do need basic handwriting skills to do this.(但除非你根本不在乎书面语言,否则你应该学习书写的基础知识。没有它,就很难理解文字。你不需要成为一个书法大师,但你确实需要基本的书法技巧来做到this)”可知,如果不学书写的基础知识,理解汉字是非常难的。所以需要基本的书写技巧来理解汉字,所以this指代的是上文“to understand characters”。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think learning the most common 500 characters or so is a good idea for all students. If you actually want to write by hand, increase that to 1, 000. Then learn to handwrite characters outside of the 1, 000 most common on a need-to-know basis.(我认为学习最常见的500个字左右对所有学生来说都是一个好主意。如果你真的想手写,那就增加到1000。然后学习手写1000个最常见的字符以外的字符)”可知,作者认为数码时代学写汉字是很好的,很支持学习常用汉字的书写。故选C项。

【40题详解】
根据本段小标题“It builds up your selfconfidence.(它能建立你的自信。)”可知,本段内容与自信有关,且G项中的Confident与上文的“Confidence increases when a new skill is mastered,and learning a foreign language is no different.(当掌握了一项新技能时,信心就会增强,学习一门外语也不例外。)”中的Confidence相对应,故选G。

【答案】slimmer
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:为了变得更漂亮、更苗条,一些女孩通常会节食。根据句意和中文提示可知,表示“苗条的”应用slim,为形容词,在本句中作表语,且由and前prettier可知,此空也应用形容词比较级,与前面为并列关系。故填slimmer。
57. Two weeks later, they were world ________(冠军). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】 champions
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】本题考查名词。解题要点:根据所给出的句子,结合汉语提示,可推出是“champion”,表示“冠军”,由they were可知,使用champion的复数形式。结合句意:两周以后,他们是世界冠军。故填champions。
【点睛】
58. Finally, I stopped ___________ (compare) myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】comparing
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:最后,我不再拿自己与女演员和模特比较,也不再寻找我的脸或身体有什么问题。句子表示“我停止拿自己与女演员和模特比较”,stop doing sth.是固定短语,意为“停止做某事”,因此空格处用动名词comparing作宾语,故填comparing。
59. The quake _________(strike) around 7:00 a. m., Sunday off the coast of Sumartra Island.( 所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】struck
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:地震发生在星期天早上7点左右,在苏马特拉岛海岸附近。根据句意和时间状语around 7:00 a. m., Sunday可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。故填struck。
60. However, dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make it difficult to ________ (递送) food and supplies. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】deliver
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:然而,危险的条件和受损的道路将使运送食物和物资变得困难。根据汉语提示可知,deliver递送,动词,空前的to是不定式符号,故空处用动词原形。故填deliver。
61. Written Chinese has also become an important______(方式) by which China’s present is connected with its past. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】means
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:书面汉语也成为连接中国现在和过去的重要手段。由by可知,“方式”是means,by means of意为“以……的方式”,means是单复数同形的单词,由空前的an可知,空格处用单数,故填means。
62. It is believed that Chinese calligaraphy ________ (date) to at least the Han Dynasty. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】dates
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:据信,中国书法至少可以追溯到汉代。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词,主语Chinese calligaraphy,第三人称单数形式,与date为主动关系,且句子描述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时。故填dates。
63. Over the years, the system developed into different forms, as it was a time when people were divided geographically, leading to many ________ (多样化) of dialects and characters. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】varieties
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:多年来,这个系统发展成了不同的形式,因为当时人们在地理上是分开的,导致了许多方言和文字的变化。根据句意和中文提示可知,表示“多样化”可用variety,为可数名词,且由空前many可知,这里应用可数名词复数作宾语。故填varieties。
64. She spoke for an hour without once __________(refer) to her notes. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】referring
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:她讲了一个小时,一次也没看笔记。空处位于介词without后,应用动名词形式作宾语,without doing表示“没有做……”,故填referring。

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.
“Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
Paragraph 1:
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students. Fascinated by the gentle sound of one participant, I was wholeheartedly impressed by his wonderful performance and solid strength. As I flicked my eyes up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. The “thief”! For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy’s misconduct would made such a big difference!
Paragraph 2:
After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box. He asked with a tremble in his voice, with his thin face reddening with excitement, “Sir, do you recognize me? The nephew! It’s your kindness that enlightenes my life, so does your violin. Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” Tears welled up in my eyes. Never had I anticipated that a tiny white lie would inject such great power into others and change their life.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,作者结束表演返回家中,却发现一个大约12岁的头发凌乱、脸庞消瘦的小男孩想要偷走自己心爱的小提琴,他充满恐惧的眼神使得作者不忍责罚他,而是假借一个善意的谎言将小提琴送给了他。但事实上,男孩已经知道作者对他说了一个善意的谎言。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几年后,我被邀请在一个高中生音乐比赛中担任评委。”,再结合第二段的开头可知,当年的男孩也来参加了比赛,故第一段的内容应该是描写作者认出这个男孩的情景以及男孩在比赛中的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后,“Michael”拿着一个小提琴盒跑了过来。”可知,第二段应该是描写男孩感谢作者当年的善举以及作者自身的感悟。
2.续写线索:担任评委——被音乐吸引——认出男孩——彼此相认——男孩表示感谢——作者的感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.看:glance at / have a look at
②.对……印象深刻:be impressed by / have a deep impression on
③.预料:anticipate / expect / foresee
情绪类
①.惊讶:astonished / surprised / amazed
②.喜悦:joy / pleasure / delight
【点睛】[高分句型1]. As I flicked my eyes up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. (由从属连词as引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2]. Never had I anticipated that a tiny white lie would inject such great power into others and change their life. (由连接词that引导的宾语从句作anticipated的宾语,且运用了部分倒装)
