This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question. Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196 This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch destination. It’s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu where everyone can find something hearty. Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080 Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter. Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427 With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis. During the pandemic, Barry Sorkin, the owner, expanded takeout and outdoor dining options, including a patio in the former parking lot. Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168 Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza. Pat’s Pizza has a storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat’s uses its own sausage, which also helps set its flavor apart. Pizzas are available for takeout, delivery, patio, and indoor dining. 1. What number should you call if you want to eat brunch? A. (773) 545-7427. B. (773) 283-6080. C. (773) 248-0168. D. (773) 961-8196. 2 What is the feature of Community Tavern? A. The menu keeps unchanged. B. It has lost its neighborhood element. C.

They have free parking. D. They have a long history. B Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United states alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why? Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing. 4. Animals are important to us mainly because________ A. they give us a source of food. B. they are beautiful and lovely. C. they give us a lot of pleasure. D. they keep the balance of nature. 5. What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied” in the passage? A. became less. B. became more. C. turned black. D. ate food: 6. We can infer from the passage that ________ A. people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago. B. the number of hawks is on the decrease. C. animals play an important role in people’s life. D. many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Animals in Danger. B. Useful Animals. C. Laws for Animals. D. Save the Animals. C Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas. There are many environmentally-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 8. What do we know about golf from the passage? A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain. B. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. D. It causes water shortages around the world. 9. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _____. A. it uses fewer resources. B. it improves our health. C. it is an outdoor sport. D. it is recommended by experts. 10. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Playing golf. B. Motor racing in the desert. C Cycling around a lake. D. Swimming in a sports center. 11. The author writes the passage to________. A. show us the function of major sports. B. introduce different types of environmentally-friendly sports. C. discuss the major influence of popular sports. D. encourage us to go in for green sports. D The most important skill I picked up at school was keeping a routine. Routines allow us to develop a rhythm to our lives, but they also have their downsides. It can be easy to get so accustomed to your routine that you don’t realize you’re no longer conscious of your time. This can stop progress, which means you start living your life on autopilot. It’s important that you include time in your routine for self-reflection. Doing the same thing week after week can be dull. If you make time to try new things and explore new interests, you can adjust your routine to better fit your lifestyle as things change. When I first came to college, I was told countless times that it’s important you develop a routine so you can focus on things important to you. But it’s easy to forget the bigger picture. I got so used to the same old things that I would often forget about all of the other fun and exciting opportunities college had to offer. It wasn’t until my junior year that I really started setting time aside to explore things that were interesting to me. This was partly because COVID-19 and lockdown made my college life a lot more boring. It was this experience that made me realize I was stuck in a rut, a feeling I’m sure many came to terms with. I decided I was going to make a change. I needed to find a balance between keeping a structured schedule and finding time to be creative and try new things. I started writing and doing research to apply the things I learned in class. I started learning new instruments, visiting new places around town and exploring new ways to get involved in the local community. All of these different experiences allowed me to look at the things I was doing from a new perspective. It made me reassess what I’m doing with my life and pursue new goals, which have added tremendous value to my life. Routines are important, yes, but don’t forget: it’s not the routine that determines your life. It’s only you who can decide how you spend your time, so don’t forget to throw something new in there from time to time. Above all else, don’t live your life on autopilot. 12. What can happen if we “live our lives on autopilot” according to the author? A. We make rapid progress. B. We get bored by our dull lives. C. We forget to practice self-reflection. D. We become more sensitive to changes. 13. What did the author realize in his junior year of college? A. It was vital to develop a routine. B. A structured schedule helped beat boredom. C. He should focus on important things. D. He should lead a more balanced life. 14. In what way did the author make a change? A. He changed his career path. B. He changed his major in college. C. He paid more attention to his books. D. He enriched his social life. 15. What is the message the author tries to convey in the text? A. We should balance our school work and interests. B. It’s important to explore possibilities outside our routines. C. Our routines define our goals and who we are. D. Colleges offer us numerous opportunities to try new things. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether your day was messed up by one terrible incident or a series of minor annoyances (使人烦恼的事), a bad day can leave you feeling sad and nervous.

Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money. One hot dry morning on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help. Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food. The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll..” “It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.” “Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented. Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again. Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 会宁四中2024—2025学年度第一学期高二级中期考试 英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United states alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why? Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing. 4. Animals are important to us mainly because________ A. they give us a source of food. B. they are beautiful and lovely. C. they give us a lot of pleasure. D. they keep the balance of nature. 5. What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied” in the passage? A. became less. B. became more. C. turned black. D. ate food: 6. We can infer from the passage that ________ A. people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago. B. the number of hawks is on the decrease. C. animals play an important role in people’s life. D. many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Animals in Danger. B. Useful Animals. C. Laws for Animals. D. Save the Animals. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了动物被人类浪费和猎杀的现状，然后通过举例说明动物在自然平衡中的重要性，最后阐述了人们为拯救濒危动物所采取的措施。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. (每一种动物在自然平衡中都有其位置。破坏一种动物会引发很多问题。)”可知，动物对我们重要主要是因为它们能保持自然的平衡，故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why? Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly. (例如，当农民杀死大量的鹰时，农民储存的玉米和谷物被老鼠破坏了。为什么呢？因为鹰吃老鼠。没有鹰来控制它们的数量，老鼠迅速……。)”可知，农民大量捕杀鹰后，没有鹰来控制老鼠的数量使得其快速增加，multiplied的意思是“变得更多”，即became more，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. (动物不仅仅是美丽或有趣的，或者是食物的来源。每种动物在自然界的平衡中都有其位置。)”及“For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. (例如，当农民杀死大量鹰时，农民的玉米和粮食储备被老鼠摧毁。)”可知，动物在人们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. (动物被杀害是因为它们的皮毛和羽毛、食物、运动，仅仅是因为它们挡路。数以千计的动物永远地从地球上消失了。今天还有数百人在危险名单上。)”，倒数第二段“Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. (幸运的是，一些人正在努力帮助拯救动物。一些团体筹集资金让人们了解这个问题。并且他们试图让政府通过法律来保护处于危险中的动物。)”及最后一段“Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing. (有相当多的国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害危险名单上的任何动植物。慢慢地，一些处于危险中的动物的数量在增加。)”可知，本文从动物面临的危险，到强调其重要性，再到人们为拯救它们所采取的行动，整体都是围绕着“拯救动物”这一核心主题，D项“Save the Animals (拯救动物)”最能概括全文。故选D项。 C Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortages in some local areas. There are many environmentally-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 8. What do we know about golf from the passage? A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain. B It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. D. It causes water shortages around the world. 9. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _____. A. it uses fewer resources. B. it improves our health. C. it is an outdoor sport. D. it is recommended by experts. 10. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Playing golf. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Cycling around a lake. D. Swimming in a sports center. 11. The author writes the passage to________. A. show us the function of major sports. B. introduce different types of environmentally-friendly sports. C. discuss the major influence of popular sports. D. encourage us to go in for green sports. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要表达了进行体育活动要注意环保的观点，鼓励人们参加利于环保的户外运动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition.(正如你所知，高尔夫不仅消耗了大片的乡村土地，还消耗了大量的水。此外，各种各样的化学物质和大量的能源被用来保持其良好的状态。)”可知，要保持一个高尔夫球场的绿色环境，维持其良好的状态，需要消耗大量的水、化学物质及电这样的能源。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There are many environmentally-friendly sports.(有很多环保运动。)”和“You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse.(除了一双好鞋，你不需要任何特殊的装备；你不用担心资源和钱包的问题。)”可知，作者以疾步行走为例主要是因为这项运动很环保，不需要特殊装备，使用的资源非常少。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.(无论你从事什么运动，你都可以通过使用环保设备和购买由回收材料制成的产品来让它更环保。)”和“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.(绿色健身房的会员在户外、乡村或空地上进行运动。您成为会员没有特别的要求，最重要的是，它是免费的。)”可知，作者最支持使用环保设备的户外运动，故绕湖骑自行车应该是作者最支持的运动。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment.(然而，无论你是在山上，在海浪中，还是在草原上，你都应该意识到你选择的运动可能会对环境产生很大的影响。)”和最后一段“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environmentally-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.(无论你从事什么运动，你都可以通过使用环保设备和购买由回收材料制成的产品来让它更环保。)”及“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.(绿色健身房的会员在户外、乡村或空地上进行运动。您成为会员没有特别的要求，最重要的是，它是免费的。)”，以及全文内容可知，文章主要是为了鼓励人们参加利于环保的户外运动。故选D。 D The most important skill I picked up at school was keeping a routine. Routines allow us to develop a rhythm to our lives, but they also have their downsides. It can be easy to get so accustomed to your routine that you don’t realize you’re no longer conscious of your time. This can stop progress, which means you start living your life on autopilot. It’s important that you include time in your routine for self-reflection. Doing the same thing week after week can be dull. If you make time to try new things and explore new interests, you can adjust your routine to better fit your lifestyle as things change. When I first came to college, I was told countless times that it’s important you develop a routine so you can focus on things important to you. But it’s easy to forget the bigger picture. I got so used to the same old things that I would often forget about all of the other fun and exciting opportunities college had to offer. It wasn’t until my junior year that I really started setting time aside to explore things that were interesting to me. This was partly because COVID-19 and lockdown made my college life a lot more boring. It was this experience that made me realize I was stuck in a rut, a feeling I’m sure many came to terms with. I decided I was going to make a change. I needed to find a balance between keeping a structured schedule and finding time to be creative and try new things. I started writing and doing research to apply the things I learned in class. I started learning new instruments, visiting new places around town and exploring new ways to get involved in the local community. All of these different experiences allowed me to look at the things I was doing from a new perspective. It made me reassess what I’m doing with my life and pursue new goals, which have added tremendous value to my life. Routines are important, yes, but don’t forget: it’s not the routine that determines your life. It’s only you who can decide how you spend your time, so don’t forget to throw something new in there from time to time. Above all else, don’t live your life on autopilot. 12. What can happen if we “live our lives on autopilot” according to the author? A. We make rapid progress. B. We get bored by our dull lives. C. We forget to practice self-reflection. D. We become more sensitive to changes. 13. What did the author realize in his junior year of college? A. It was vital to develop a routine. B. A structured schedule helped beat boredom. C. He should focus on important things. D. He should lead a more balanced life. 14. In what way did the author make a change? A. He changed his career path. B. He changed his major in college. C. He paid more attention to his books. D. He enriched his social life. 15. What is the message the author tries to convey in the text? A. We should balance our school work and interests. B. It’s important to explore possibilities outside our routines. C. Our routines define our goals and who we are. D. Colleges offer us numerous opportunities to try new things. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章论述了作者养成了保持规律生活的习惯，后来发现这让他忘记了其他有趣和令人兴奋的机会，于是他作出了改变，在保持一个有条理的时间表和抽出时间去创造和尝试新事物之间找到平衡，这给他的生活增添了巨大的价值，他意识到探索日常生活之外的可能性是很重要的。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“It can be easy to get so accustomed to your routine that you don’t realize you’re no longer conscious of your time. This can stop progress, which means you start living your life on autopilot. It’s important that you include time in your routine for self-reflection.(这可能会阻止进步，这意味着你开始“自动驾驶式的生活（机械地生活）”。重要的是，你要在规律生活中留出时间进行自我反省。)”并结合前后文语境可知，“自动驾驶式的生活”即为“规律生活”，而作者在后一句则提到要在规律生活中留出自我反省的时间的重要性，由此可知，在作者看来，“自动驾驶式”的生活（机械地生活）会让人忘记自我反省。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“It wasn’t until my junior year that I really started setting time aside to explore things that were interesting to me.(直到大三时，我才真正开始抽出时间去探索我感兴趣的事情)”以及“I decided I was going to make a change. I needed to find a balance between keeping a structured schedule and finding time to be creative and try new things.(我决定要做出改变。我需要在保持一个有条理的时间表和找时间去创造和尝试新事物之间找到一个平衡)”可知，作者意识到要去探索感兴趣的事情，在保持有条理的时间安排和探索感兴趣的事情之间找到平衡，过更平衡的生活。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“I started writing and doing research to apply the things I learned in class. I started learning new instruments, visiting new places around town and exploring new ways to get involved in the local community.(我开始写作和做研究，把我在课堂上学到的东西应用起来。我开始学习新的乐器，游览城镇周围的新地方，探索参与当地社区的新方法)”可知，作者通过将所学用于写作和研究，学习新乐器，游览新地方，探索参与社区的新方式等方式进行改变，即，他通过丰富自己的社会生活进行改变。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“It’s only you who can decide how you spend your time, so don’t forget to throw something new in there from time to time. Above all else, don’t live your life on autopilot.(只有你自己才能决定如何支配你的时间，所以别忘了时不时地投入一些新事物。最重要的是，不要“在自动驾驶仪上”生活)”可知，在作者看来不要按部就班地生活，要在生活中投入一些新事物。由此可推知，作者想要表达的是探索规律生活之外的可能性很重要。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether your day was messed up by one terrible incident or a series of minor annoyances (使人烦恼的事), a bad day can leave you feeling sad and nervous.

Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns to earn a little money. One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help. Hearing Will’s greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually, he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged, walked back and handed him the food. The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled,” The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I’m sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I’ll..” “It’s OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!” Will shrugged, “As for the job, don’t worry. There must be someone wanting to take it.” “Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to.” Allan commented. Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother’s situation and his father’s just being out of work because of the bankrupt of the company. Will pointed at a house. “My dad says we’ll have to sell it to pay for mom’s treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon.” Tears rolled down Will’s cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again. Allan stared at Will’s fading figure, lost in thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the good news, Will turned overjoyed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文一∶ After school, Will saw the truck parked in front of his house.
