When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. “I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I’m a junior at college,” she wrote. “I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams,” she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.
“Mom, I made it,” Ann wrote. “I couldn’t have done it without you. You gave me every opportunity possible to be successful. You are the best mother a kid could ever ask for. You always believed in me. You allowed me space to grow and make mistakes without making me feel bad. You allowed me the opportunity to experience the world.”
The teen is currently a student in two undergraduate programs studying biological sciences in two universities. She has extremely good time management skills and is very disciplined(自律的).
Ann doesn’t only focus on the classroom when it comes to her education. In 2021, she became the youngest inter (实习生) ever at a government department. Ann said the dream started early for her. Her final goal is to become a flight surgeon(外科医生) and work with astronauts.
Ann’s impressive achievements don’t even stop there. She also founded an organization for girls of color who are interested in exploring careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
You may think you’re too young to do anything. But from Ann’s story, I think you need to change the view. With her effort, Ann has proved that one can do anything if they can do what they can to do what they want to.
4. What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 1?
A. She has been admitted into a university.
B. She wanted to show off her high school.
C. She was too young to go to university.
D. She is studying in a high school.
5. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 2?
A. Ann’s opportunity to succeed.
B. Ann’s gratitude to her mother.
C. The stress Ann got from her parents.
D. The educational methods in Ann’s school.
6. What is Ann’s final aim?
A. To found an organization for girls.
B. To explore careers in science.
C. To work with astronauts as a surgeon.
D. To become the youngest worker in the government.
7. Which of the following can best describe Ann?
A. Adventurous and creative. B. Humorous and mysterious.
C. Determined and imaginative. D. Self-controlled and successful.
C
In this digital age, information is increasingly digitized through the wide use of technology. Newspapers, magazines and even textbooks are becoming or expected to be digital soon. However, despite the sharp increase of such technology in daily life, print media is far from becoming unnecessary. I don’t think that reading in print is a dying mode.
Firstly, print offers a super reading experience. The feeling of holding a book in our hands, feeling its weight and turning over its pages, helps us to be immersed in and engaged fully with the material. The act of turning over pages also helps to direct ourselves in the concepts and structure of the text. In contrast, reading through a number of pages on a device is unsatisfying, and we can lose track of how much we have read. In addition, the artificial glow of digital screens tires one’s eyes out, and can even affect one’s sleep.
Moreover, physical copies express greater aesthetic (审美的) beauty than digital ones. The designs that beautify book covers and spines make the ideas complete and add beauty to our homes as well. The wrinkles that have accumulated over time leave us with an emotional attachment to the books themselves. Furthermore, the presentation of content in print also allows for greater appreciation of imagery (意象). In contrast to the restrictions of digital screens, the tangible (可触摸的) nature of print allows for clear imagery that is clear and impactful in its presence.
Advocates of digital print support the convenience of the medium. Indeed, e-readers provide a convenient solution to storage and transportation. However, this carries its own weaknesses as well. For one, the use of digital media requires the investment in a smart device. For another, taking notes on the printed text is easier.
In conclusion, despite the conveniences afforded by digital media, physical print still remains a popular mode of reading today. The “less is more” nature of print media remains its strongest selling point today.
8. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 2?
A. Too much digital reading will not influence our health.
B. Turning over pages helps to completely understand the texts.
C. Reading in print offers readers full engagement with materials.
D. Readers can exactly know how much they have read by digital reading.
9. Where does the greater aesthetic beauty of physical copies lie?
A. A clear imagery. B. Abundant ideas.
C. Emotional dependence. D. Convenience of transportation.
10. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To popularize two types of reading modes.
B. To persuade people to enjoy digital reading.
C. To inform people of a new trend in reading.
D. To argue why reading in print will not disappear.
11. The author states the opinion by _________.
A. using examples B. making a comparison
C. asking and answering questions D. analyzing causes and effects
D
Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day, littering often takes a backseat—but it’s more pressing than we may think.
Some may say that a banana peel out of your car along the motorway would be a harmless action. Actually, they are wrong. A banana peel can take up to two years to decompose (分解), and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum cans last up to 100 years, and plastic bottles last forever, so do glass bottles and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in the UK every day. Similarly, our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s mouse population to increase by 60 million. This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an amazing 500 per cent.
It’s not a cheap habit either: UK taxpayers spent £500 million on keeping the streets clean. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping, you could face a £20, 000 fine. Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have a long way to go in making sure people observe the rules.
To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.
12. Which of the following is the easiest to decompose comparatively?
A. An aluminum can. B. A plastic bag.
C An orange peel. D. A glass bottle.
13. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Cigarette-related litter is a severe environmental problem in the UK.
B. Shorter-lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.
C. Regular littering has caused the UK’s mouse population to reach 60 million.
D. Annual littering has increased a little in the UK since the 1960s.
14. Which of the following can best describe the UK’s punishment on littering according to paragraph 4?
A. Little chips light great fires B. A drop in the bucket.
C. More haste, less speed D. No pains, no gains
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Rubbish Collection, an Urgent Task B. Environment Issue, a Big Concern
C. Littering, a Surprisingly Big Issue D. Long-Lasting Material, a Hidden Danger

The next time anyone comments on your body in a ___34___ way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see ___35___ you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking somewhere else.” That’s Ragen’s original, but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.

47. 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。
In our kitchen, there was a wooden table and three chairs — one for Dad, one for Mom, and one for me. In the cellar (地窖), the very last jar of apple jam lay quietly on the shelf, waiting to be turned into an apple pie when Dad came back. Mom sat at one end of the table. I sat in the middle between her and Dad. I tried not to look at Dad’s empty place. Dad had gone to the city to look for work for a long time.
Every night, I lay awake in bed and waited for the train to stop. Waited to hear the creaky (嘎吱作响的) gate Dad’s going to fix when he came home. Waited to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door, and his voice calling, “I’m home!”
Every night, as I lay there, I stared at the window and the curtains Mom made from empty flour sacks (麻布袋).
Every night, Mom came to kiss me good-night — after the train’s gone by. She had been listening, too. “Go to sleep. Your dad will be home soon. Maybe for Thanksgiving.”
Time dragging by, it finally came the day before Thanksgiving. I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head, whispering, “Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.”
Early the next morning, the smell of coffee woke me. I ran into the kitchen. There he was! Dad lifted me onto his shoulders and pretended to stagger from my weight. “How’s my boy? You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”
He put me down, and I stared at the two sacks on the table. One said FLOUR — I knew that word. I tried reading the other: S-U-G-A-R. Dad whistled admiringly and winked at me. Mom and I had been practicing my letters most days. I could see that Mom was pleased with me. “I’m going to bake a pie for your dad’s homecoming dinner. Jimmy, bring me that jar of apple jam from the shelf in the cellar.” Mom smiled at me.
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。
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears.

When Ann was 13, she was accepted into a university to study medicine. Shortly after getting the acceptance letter, she shared the exciting news on the Internet. “I graduated from highschool last year at 12 years old. One year later, I was accepted into a university at 13. I’m a junior at college,” she wrote. “I’ve worked so hard to reach my goals and realize my dreams,” she added, going on to credit her mother because her mother gave Ann all her support.

In this digital age, information is increasingly digitized through the wide use of technology. Newspapers, magazines and even textbooks are becoming or expected to be digital soon. However, despite the sharp increase of such technology in daily life, print media is far from becoming unnecessary. I don’t think that reading in print is a dying mode.
Firstly, print offers a super reading experience. The feeling of holding a book in our hands, feeling its weight and turning over its pages, helps us to be immersed in and engaged fully with the material. The act of turning over pages also helps to direct ourselves in the concepts and structure of the text. In contrast, reading through a number of pages on a device is unsatisfying, and we can lose track of how much we have read. In addition, the artificial glow of digital screens tires one’s eyes out, and can even affect one’s sleep.
Moreover, physical copies express greater aesthetic (审美的) beauty than digital ones. The designs that beautify book covers and spines make the ideas complete and add beauty to our homes as well. The wrinkles that have accumulated over time leave us with an emotional attachment to the books themselves. Furthermore, the presentation of content in print also allows for greater appreciation of imagery (意象). In contrast to the restrictions of digital screens, the tangible (可触摸的) nature of print allows for clear imagery that is clear and impactful in its presence.
Advocates of digital print support the convenience of the medium. Indeed, e-readers provide a convenient solution to storage and transportation. However, this carries its own weaknesses as well. For one, the use of digital media requires the investment in a smart device. For another, taking notes on the printed text is easier.
In conclusion, despite the conveniences afforded by digital media, physical print still remains a popular mode of reading today. The “less is more” nature of print media remains its strongest selling point today.
8. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 2?
A. Too much digital reading will not influence our health.
B. Turning over pages helps to completely understand the texts.
C. Reading in print offers readers full engagement with materials.
D. Readers can exactly know how much they have read by digital reading.
9. Where does the greater aesthetic beauty of physical copies lie?
A. A clear imagery. B. Abundant ideas.
C. Emotional dependence. D. Convenience of transportation.
10. What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To popularize two types of reading modes.
B. To persuade people to enjoy digital reading.
C. To inform people of a new trend in reading.
D. To argue why reading in print will not disappear.
11. The author states the opinion by _________.
A. using examples B. making a comparison
C. asking and answering questions D. analyzing causes and effects
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在这个数字时代,纸质阅读并不会消亡,并介绍了与电子阅读相比,纸质阅读的优势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“The feeling of holding a book in our hands, feeling its weight and turning over its pages, helps us to be immersed in and engaged fully with the material.”(手捧一本书的感觉,感受它的重量和翻阅它的书页,帮助我们完全沉浸在材料中并与之充分接触。)可知,阅读印刷品可以帮助我们完全沉浸在材料中并与之充分接触,由此可知,“阅读印刷品可以让读者充分接触材料。”这一选项是正确的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Furthermore, the presentation of content in print also allows for greater appreciation of imagery (意象). In contrast to the restrictions of digital screens, the tangible (可触摸的) nature of print allows for clear imagery that is clear and impactful in its presence.”(此外,印刷品内容的呈现还可以更好地欣赏图像。与数字屏幕的限制形成对比的是,印刷品的有形本质允许清晰的图像,在其中出现时清晰而有影响力。)可知,实物复制品更大的审美意义在于允许清晰的图像存在,可以让读者更好地欣赏图像,由此可知,实物复制品更大的审美意义在于清晰的图像。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“However, despite the sharp increase of such technology in daily life, print media is far from becoming unnecessary. I don’t think that reading in print is a dying mode.”(然而,尽管这类技术在日常生活中急剧增加,但印刷媒体远没有变得没有必要。我不认为阅读印刷品是一种消亡的模式。)、第二段关键句“Firstly, print offers a super reading experience.”(首先,印刷品提供了一种超级阅读体验。)和第三段关键句“Moreover, physical copies express greater aesthetic (审美的) beauty than digital ones.”(此外,实物复制品比数字复制品表现出更大的审美意义。)可知,文章主要告诉人们为什么印刷品阅读不会消失,并列举了印刷品阅读不会消失的原因,例如提供了一种超级阅读体验和表现出更大的审美意义,由此可知,文章的主要目的是讨论为什么印刷品阅读不会消失。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“The act of turning over pages also helps to direct ourselves in the concepts and structure of the text. In contrast, reading through a number of pages on a device is unsatisfying, and we can lose track of how much we have read.”(翻页行为也有助于引导我们了解文本的概念和结构。相比之下,在一台设备上阅读大量页面并不令人满意,我们可能会忘记自己读了多少。)和第三段关键句“In contrast to the restrictions of digital screens, the tangible (可触摸的) nature of print allows for clear imagery that is clear and impactful in its presence.”(与数字屏幕的限制形成对比的是,印刷品的有形本质允许清晰的图像,在其中出现时清晰而有影响力。)可知,作者通过将纸质阅读和在电子设备上阅读进行了对比,进而说明纸质阅读的好处,由此可知,作者通过比较阐述了自己的观点。故选B项。

Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day, littering often takes a backseat—but it’s more pressing than we may think.
Some may say that a banana peel out of your car along the motorway would be a harmless action. Actually, they are wrong. A banana peel can take up to two years to decompose (分解), and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of discarded banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading (生物降解) term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum cans last up to 100 years, and plastic bottles last forever, so do glass bottles and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in the UK every day. Similarly, our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s mouse population to increase by 60 million. This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an amazing 500 per cent.
It’s not a cheap habit either: UK taxpayers spent £500 million on keeping the streets clean. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping, you could face a £20, 000 fine. Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have a long way to go in making sure people observe the rules.
To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.
12. Which of the following is the easiest to decompose comparatively?
A. An aluminum can. B. A plastic bag.
C. An orange peel. D. A glass bottle.
13. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Cigarette-related litter is a severe environmental problem in the UK.
B. Shorter-lasting materials will be less harmful to the environment.
C. Regular littering has caused the UK’s mouse population to reach 60 million.
D. Annual littering has increased a little in the UK since the 1960s.
14. Which of the following can best describe the UK’s punishment on littering according to paragraph 4?
A. Little chips light great fires B. A drop in the bucket.
C. More haste, less speed D. No pains, no gains
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Rubbish Collection, an Urgent Task B. Environment Issue, a Big Concern
C. Littering, a Surprisingly Big Issue D. Long-Lasting Material, a Hidden Danger
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了乱丢垃圾的危害,这是一个比我们认为的更需要迫切解决的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading term to that of a banana, but tin and aluminum cans last up to 100 years, and plastic bottles last forever, so do glass bottles and plastic bags.(橘子皮和烟头与香蕉的生物降解时间相似,但锡罐和铝罐的寿命可达100年,塑料瓶可以是永久的,玻璃瓶和塑料袋也是如此)”可知,橘子皮相比较其他三种东西更容易分解,故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中“Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading time, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in the UK every day.(尽管更持久的材料会对环境和动物造成更长时间的破坏,但我们不能只通过它的寿命来衡量某种垃圾的严重程度。例如,尽管香烟的生物降解时间相当短,但在英国,每天仍有120多吨与香烟有关的垃圾被扔掉。)”可知,在英国,与香烟有关的垃圾是一个严重的环境问题,故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中“Regardless of how severe the punishment might seem, however, among the reported cases only 2, 000 were punished out of 825, 000, so we still have a long way to go in making sure people observe the rules.(然而,不管处罚看起来有多严厉,在报道的82.5万起案件中,只有2000起受到了惩罚,所以我们在确保人们遵守规则方面还有很长的路要走。)”可知,在有关垃圾上的处罚是远远不够的,这与B项 “A drop in the bucket(沧海一粟/九牛一毛)”意思相符。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Compared with the obvious environmental issues we hear about every day, littering often takes a backseat-but it’s more pressing than we may think.(与我们每天听到的显而易见的环境问题相比,乱扔垃圾往往被置于次要地位——但它比我们想象的更紧迫。)”以及最后一段“To take back our beautiful cities, we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need to care more about the world around us.(为了夺回我们美丽的城市,我们需要做的不仅仅是不把垃圾留在不该在的地方。我们需要更多地关心我们周围的世界。)”可知,可知,文章介绍了乱丢垃圾的危害,一个比我们认为的更需要迫切解决的问题。所以用C项“Littering, a Surprisingly Big Issue(乱扔垃圾,一个惊人的大问题)”作为本文的题目,与文章主题项符合。故选C项。

38. be achieved
39. more 40. based
41. into 42. encouragement
43. it 44. realizing
45. hopefully
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要对如何设定目标提出几点建议。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果你想过上幸福的生活,就把它和一个目标联系起来。分析句子可知,这里表示“一个目标”,所以应用不定冠词表泛指,且goal为辅音音素开始的单词。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:目标是一个需要行动的梦想。这里考查定义,先行词a dream,为物,在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词that或者which。故填that/which。
【38题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:设定可以实现的目标。分析句子可知,这里考查谓语动词, that(goals)与achieve为被动关系,且情态动词后应用动词原形。故填be achieved。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:不要强迫自己实现超出可能的目标。由than可知,这里应用形容词比较级。故填more。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:相反,你应该根据自己的能力和技能设定目标。此空考查非谓语,goals与base为被动关系,再由句意可知,这里应用过去分词作状语。故填based。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:把大目标分解成小目标。这里考查break...down into,表“将……分解成……”,为固定搭配。故填into。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:这也会鼓励你实现长期目标。分析句子可知,此空应填名词作宾语,encouragement,表“鼓励”,为不可数名词,符合句意。故填encouragement。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意:或者你可以把它贴在卧室的墙上。分析句子可知,此空缺少宾语,所以应用代词it,代指上文the list。故填it。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能会发现实现目标很困难。分析句子可知,此空应填动名词,而realizing goals为动名词短语,在本句中作宾语。故填realizing。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于你的行动,你的梦想将会实现,希望你能过上幸福的生活。分析句子可知,此空应填副词作状语,修饰后面句子。故填hopefully。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I'm glad that you will come to study in our school as an exchange student. The daily schedule of Chinese school life is quite different from yours.
In our school, the morning classes are from 8 am to 12 am. Afternoon classes are from 2:30 pm to 5pm. I live in school so I must take the night classes for self-study from 7 pm to 9:30 pm before we go back to our dormitory. Chinese, English, math are the major courses with minor courses like science, social sciences, music, art, PE, etc. Most of the morning classes are reserved for the major courses. However, our everyday life is not that boring and tiring. We can take many after-class activities and there are many student organizations and clubs that we can join.
Thank you for your time if you read down here. Hope it helps.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
In our kitchen, there was a wooden table and three chairs — one for Dad, one for Mom, and one for me. In the cellar (地窖), the very last jar of apple jam lay quietly on the shelf, waiting to be turned into an apple pie when Dad came back. Mom sat at one end of the table. I sat in the middle between her and Dad. I tried not to look at Dad’s empty place. Dad had gone to the city to look for work for a long time.
Every night, I lay awake in bed and waited for the train to stop. Waited to hear the creaky (嘎吱作响的) gate Dad’s going to fix when he came home. Waited to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door, and his voice calling, “I’m home!”
Every night, as I lay there, I stared at the window and the curtains Mom made from empty flour sacks (麻布袋).
Every night, Mom came to kiss me good-night — after the train’s gone by. She had been listening, too. “Go to sleep. Your dad will be home soon. Maybe for Thanksgiving.”
Time dragging by, it finally came the day before Thanksgiving. I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head, whispering, “Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.”
Early the next morning, the smell of coffee woke me. I ran into the kitchen. There he was! Dad lifted me onto his shoulders and pretended to stagger from my weight. “How’s my boy? You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”
He put me down, and I stared at the two sacks on the table. One said FLOUR — I knew that word. I tried reading the other: S-U-G-A-R. Dad whistled admiringly and winked at me. Mom and I had been practicing my letters most days. I could see that Mom was pleased with me. “I’m going to bake a pie for your dad’s homecoming dinner. Jimmy, bring me that jar of apple jam from the shelf in the cellar.” Mom smiled at me.
注意:

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. The next second I was in front of the shelf. I stood on tiptoe and took down the jar carefully. I could hear Dad and Mom laughing upstairs and Mom’s hands slapping the dough. Wanting to join them, I hurried up the steps, and my foot caught on the middle one. I put out my hand to steady myself, but I tumbled down. The jar slipped through my fingers and smashed on the floor. The jam we’d been saving and saving flew everywhere. Wrong-footed, I burst into tears and heard Dad’s footsteps closer and closer.
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. These words seemed to have magic and gradually I settled down. Through the shirt, I could smell the dust of the train and the city as well as that of Dad’s. How I wished I hadn’t hurried. “Next time I will be more careful,” I thought to myself. Having swiftly dealt with the mess, Dad lifted me onto his shoulder and went back to Mom. “Now out of the kitchen, you two,” Mom said, “I'm going to bake my mama’s sugar pie, without apple jam!” I followed Dad out and helped him fix that old creaking gate until Ma called us in for Thanksgiving dinner.
Possible version 2:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. “No problem.” I jumped at the request and rushed downstairs. The jar just stood quietly on the shelf, but it seemed a bit high. I climbed up the chair nearby and extended my arms as long as possible. When I just grasped the jar, I lost my balance and fell down. I couldn’t help crying. What made me sad was not the pain but the jam — now scattered everywhere. There came Dad’s footsteps and Mom’s voice, “Are you hurt?” I shook my head slightly. She helped me up and asked me to go upstairs. With heavy footsteps, I moved slowly and tears welled up in my eyes.
“Never mind boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. “But I ruined your homecoming dinner.” Sorrow overwhelmed me and I kept sobbing. “No, my son,” Dad smiled gently, “My homecoming dinner is not about pies, but about you and Mom.” Hearing this, I stopped sobbing, “But what can we eat tonight?” “How about an apple pie without apple jam?” Mom came upstairs and cut in. Dad and I exchanged a glance and nodded. After a while, I found myself sitting in the chair, but this time, I sat in the middle between Dad and Mom.
(We can go without apple jam. Why not make a pie with apple jam?)
(…but this time, I sat with Dad on the left and Mom on the right.)
Possible version 3:
Hearing this, I took the steps two at a time to the cellar. “Yes! Madam.” I saluted, acting as if I were a solider. I ran downstairs as fast as my legs could carry me. After a while, I jumped upstairs with the jar in both hands, humming a joyful tune. But after I handed the jar to Mom, things went crazy. Mom was busy slapping the dough and asked me to pass her the sugar. Instead of scooping a bowl of it, I held the sack up. Just at that very moment, the sugar sack slipped away and all the sugar ended up on the mud floor. Realizing I spoiled Dad’s homecoming dinner, I burst into tears.
“Never mind, boy, accidents happen,” Dad said and wiped my tears. “I meant to help,” I whimpered, “but... I should have scooped some of it...” Dad squatted down and brushed the hair out of my eyes. “Next time it will just be fine.” I looked into Dad’s eyes and nodded. Dad lifted me onto his shoulder and turned to Mom, “Dear, can we make a sugar-free apple pie?” Mom, who had been watching us lovingly, replied “Of course!” and began to work on it. On that Thanksgiving evening, beside the wooden table sat three of us, I myself between Mom and Dad. Though sugar-free, the apple pie tasted sweeter than ever before.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。所给文章为记叙文,以苹果酱和苹果派为线索。作者家的厨房中有一张木桌和三把椅子,分别是爸爸的妈妈的和作者的。爸爸出门务工,每当地窖中的最后一瓶苹果酱被放到桌上,等待被做成苹果派的时候,就是爸爸回家的时候。作者和妈妈每个晚上都在等爸爸回家。感恩节的时候爸爸终于回家了,妈妈要给爸爸做苹果派,并让作者去把地窖的苹果酱拿出来。
【详解】1.段落续写
第一段首句内容为“听到这话,我一两步走到地窖”。可知,第一段可描写作者听了母亲话后去地窖拿苹果酱的经历。
第二点首句内容为“没关系,孩子,意外总会发生的,”爸爸说着擦干了我的眼泪。可知,第二段可能描写作者在拿苹果酱时发生了意外后,爸爸妈妈给作者的安慰。
2.续写线索:急匆匆拿果酱——摔了一跤——爸爸安慰——妈妈接着做水果派
3.词汇激活:
行为类:
①形容加快步伐/步伐很快:take the steps two at a time/hurry up the steps
②突然…起来:burst into tears/ burst into laughter
情感类
平静下来:settle down/calm down
【点睛】[高分句型1] How I wished I hadn’t hurried.(用虚拟语气表达后悔,惋惜的情绪)
[高分句型2] Having swiftly dealt with the mess, Dad lifted me onto his shoulder and went back to Mom.(分词短语作状语,可模仿性高)
[高分句型3] I followed Dad out and helped him fix that old creaking gate until Ma called us in for Thanksgiving dinner.(until引导的时间状语从句)
