Lonely Planet’s Top Places to Go in 2024
Are you looking for inspiration for your next travel destination? Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2024.
Top City: Nairobi
Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers twinkle on the horizon.
Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain
The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona.
Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest
The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money.
Top Beach Destination: Donegal
Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails.
1. What can people do in Nairobi National Park?
A. Enjoy adventure activities. B. Taste local delicious dishes.
C. See various wild animals. D. Observe excellent facilities.
2. Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location?
A. It has simplified entry procedures. B. It offers cost-effective experiences.

Influenced by factors like school funding, sports facilities, teacher resources and safetyconcems, traditional physical education was limited to static (静态的) scenes and closed gymsand playgrounds, which lacked interaction and feedback functions. PE curiculum was also restricted to basic sports like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible “on-site, on- campus, online” integrated new sports world.
IT can build online virtual learning environments for students, creating teaching scenes hard to achieve in physical world. Many schools have already partnered with technology companies to create different teaching scenes using digital sports products. The University of South Florida has cooperated with the VR sports training company Sense Arena, allowing students to practice tennis on its globally pioneering VR tennis training platform. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR touching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel of a real tennis racket. The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crowd noise, dazzling sunlight, shadows and wind. Athletes can engage in various forms of training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitation. Such virtual sports teaching space further enhances the experience of PE learning.
Technology-based physical education not only serves ordinary students’ physical health but also addresses the needs of special groups in sports, especially students who cannot participate in regular PE classes due to physical, psychological or social adaptation issues. Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students, like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland, which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities, such as blind football and wheelchair hockey. This is made possible with the support of sports technology, as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment.
Through scientific, healthy and joyful educational concepts, technology-empowered PE classes convey the values of creating and enjoying a personalized experience, developing a sports education where everyone participates and benefits.
4. How do new technologies change traditional PE class according to paragraph 1?
A. By investing more in basic sports.
B. By combining it with academic study.
C. By making dynamic PE class possible.
D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers.
5. Which of the following services can Sense Arena provide?
A. Real-life tennis matches. B. Virtual headsets and rackets.
C. Imitative distracting conditions. D. Sufficient sports space on campus.
6. What does “Pathways to Inclusion” program feature?
A. Professional knowledge about psychology.
B. Technology-assisted sports for the disabled.
C. Interactive activities with ordinary students.
D. Personalized medical treatment for disabilities.
7. What is the author’s writing purpose of the text?
A. To advertise a new VR product.
B. To raise public awareness of physical education.
C. To stress the importance of equality among students.
D. To introduce a new application of technology in PE class.
C
Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend aiming to save our bank balances in the process.
De-influencing is the TikTok trend with hundreds of millions of views that’s challenging the promotion around so-called popular products by telling you what you shouldn’t buy, instead of what you should. It’s a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of over-consumption and the cost of living crisis.
“People are experiencing a general social media fatigue (厌倦) at the moment,” says makeup artist and beauty content creator Rose Gallagher. “Originally, user-generated content was so popular because people tended to share thoughts on things that they had purchased themselves with no real connection to the brand. Now, with so much to be gained from giving a positive review, it has become harder to tell the genuine reviews from those influenced by the potential for earning.”
How is de-influencing different from influencing? It sounds progressive, but once you scratch the surface, there isn’t a huge difference between influencing and de-influencing. “It’s still influencing but it’s telling people what not to buy,” says Kendall. While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they should buy instead.
Being honest and authentic has the potential to pay off, too. While criticizing big brands may reduce an influencer’s chances of landing a new deal in the short term, it also may increase their long-term reach as they gain a reputation for being trustworthy. Sparking debates over whether a product works or not can also drive sales for brands, as consumers respond by wanting to try it for themselves.
What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it’s right for them versus whether they’re simply being influenced because it’s new, popular, or exciting. This is part of a bigger movement in beauty.
8. Why does the author pose the two questions in paragraph1?
A. To test readers’ honesty. B. To present people’s doubts.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To give a warning against social media.
9. According to the passage, which is NOT a factor that causes de-influencing?
A. An overall feeling of over-consumption. B. The high cost of the tough modern life.
C. The increasing number of genuine reviews. D. People’s behaviour of buying more than needed.
10. In what way is de-influencing similar to influencing according to the author?
A. Staying honest and authentic in face of profits.
B. Guiding consumers’ decisions on purchasing.
C. Warning consumers away from expensive products.
D. Leading customers to try products by sparking debates.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about ?
A. De-influencing is totally different from influencing.
B. De-influencing facilitates over-consumption and the cost of living crisis.
C. Don’t be influenced by new and popular products to save our bank balances.
D. De-influencing helps customers be honest and authentic to their purchases.
D
Although Sir Isaac Newton did not employ his reflecting telescope to uncover novel astronomical phenomena, he did use it to completely transform how we view the world we live in and the universe as a whole.
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. Their simplicity in construction and ability to achieve much greater sizes than refractors have led to a transformation in our astronomical knowledge and our comprehension of the universe.
As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) and consequently, distorted images when viewed through a lens. In the time of Newton, the technology for producing glass and lenses was still very primitive, and the challenges associated with chromatic aberration had not been adequately addressed. Today we can make lenses that have almost no chromatic aberration but we can’t make them very large. As the size of a lens increases significantly, it becomes extremely heavy, causing its own weight to distort the lens and consequently ruin the image quality.
Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion.
While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory.
The original telescope constructed by Newton is preserved and maintained by the Royal Society of London. It is showcased in London and occasionally embarks on international tours as an element of exhibitions.
12. What do we know about Newton’s reflecting telescope?
A. It has a complex structure.
B. It relies on mirrors instead of lenses.
C. It can make the image smaller than a refractor.
D. It helped Newton uncover novel astronomical phenomena.
13. What does the underlined word “distorted” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Confused. B. Twisted. C. Evident. D. Vivid.
14. What problems did Newton’s telescope manage to solve?
A. Issues with image quality. B. Restrictions on the size.
C. Challenges of lens making. D. Limits of light passing angles.
15. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Galileo and Halley?
A. To state a fact. B. To raise a point.
C. To explain a concept. D. To make a comparison.

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。
“The cleaners said I could pick our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favourite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now charred (烧焦的) by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I sure will miss those pictures.” Jet could tell she was really sad.
“I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Then we’ll see if your Big Dog can come back to us.” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He clutched (紧抓) his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, his friends were playing games while his mind was completely occupied by Big Dog.
RRRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished.
Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. If only the photo album could somehow be saved, Jet thought. He wished there was a way to get those memories back, to bring a smile to his mom’s face again.
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。
Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too! ”.

Influenced by factors like school funding, sports facilities, teacher resources and safetyconcems, traditional physical education was limited to static (静态的) scenes and closed gymsand playgrounds, which lacked interaction and feedback functions. PE curiculum was also restricted to basic sports like ball games, track and field and gymnastics. However, the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR), 3D technology, greatly expand and innovate sports scenes, providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible “on-site, on- campus, online” integrated new sports world.
IT can build online virtual learning environments for students, creating teaching scenes hard to achieve in physical world. Many schools have already partnered with technology companies to create different teaching scenes using digital sports products. The University of South Florida has cooperated with the VR sports training company Sense Arena, allowing students to practice tennis on its globally pioneering VR tennis training platform. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and VR touching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel of a real tennis racket. The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches, including crowd noise, dazzling sunlight, shadows and wind. Athletes can engage in various forms of training, such as skill practice, technical analysis and match imitation. Such virtual sports teaching space further enhances the experience of PE learning.
Technology-based physical education not only serves ordinary students’ physical health but also addresses the needs of special groups in sports, especially students who cannot participate in regular PE classes due to physical, psychological or social adaptation issues. Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students, like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland, which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities, such as blind football and wheelchair hockey. This is made possible with the support of sports technology, as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment.
Through scientific, healthy and joyful educational concepts, technology-empowered PE classes convey the values of creating and enjoying a personalized experience, developing a sports education where everyone participates and benefits.
4. How do new technologies change traditional PE class according to paragraph 1?
A. By investing more in basic sports.
B. By combining it with academic study.
C. By making dynamic PE class possible.
D. By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers.
5. Which of the following services can Sense Arena provide?
A. Real-life tennis matches. B. Virtual headsets and rackets.
C. Imitative distracting conditions. D. Sufficient sports space on campus.
6. What does “Pathways to Inclusion” program feature?
A. Professional knowledge about psychology.
B. Technology-assisted sports for the disabled.
C. Interactive activities with ordinary students.
D. Personalized medical treatment for disabilities.
7. What is the author’s writing purpose of the text?

Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend aiming to save our bank balances in the process.
De-influencing is the TikTok trend with hundreds of millions of views that’s challenging the promotion around so-called popular products by telling you what you shouldn’t buy, instead of what you should. It’s a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of over-consumption and the cost of living crisis.
“People are experiencing a general social media fatigue (厌倦) at the moment,” says makeup artist and beauty content creator Rose Gallagher. “Originally, user-generated content was so popular because people tended to share thoughts on things that they had purchased themselves with no real connection to the brand. Now, with so much to be gained from giving a positive review, it has become harder to tell the genuine reviews from those influenced by the potential for earning.”
How is de-influencing different from influencing? It sounds progressive, but once you scratch the surface, there isn’t a huge difference between influencing and de-influencing. “It’s still influencing but it’s telling people what not to buy,” says Kendall. While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they should buy instead.
Being honest and authentic has the potential to pay off, too. While criticizing big brands may reduce an influencer’s chances of landing a new deal in the short term, it also may increase their long-term reach as they gain a reputation for being trustworthy. Sparking debates over whether a product works or not can also drive sales for brands, as consumers respond by wanting to try it for themselves.
What is different about de-influencing is encouraging consumers to take a moment to think about whether they need a product and whether it’s right for them versus whether they’re simply being influenced because it’s new, popular, or exciting. This is part of a bigger movement in beauty.
8. Why does the author pose the two questions in paragraph1?
A. To test readers’ honesty. B. To present people’s doubts.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage. D. To give a warning against social media.
9. According to the passage, which is NOT a factor that causes de-influencing?
A. An overall feeling of over-consumption. B. The high cost of the tough modern life.
C. The increasing number of genuine reviews. D. People’s behaviour of buying more than needed.
10. In what way is de-influencing similar to influencing according to the author?
A. Staying honest and authentic in face of profits.
B. Guiding consumers’ decisions on purchasing.
C. Warning consumers away from expensive products.
D. Leading customers to try products by sparking debates.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about ?
A. De-influencing is totally different from influencing.
B. De-influencing facilitates over-consumption and the cost of living crisis.
C. Don’t be influenced by new and popular products to save our bank balances.
D. De-influencing helps customers be honest and authentic to their purchases.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Be honest: how often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need? Enter de-influencing, the TikTok trend aiming to save our bank balances in the process.(说实话:你浏览社交媒体的频率是多少?抖音让你买的东西中有多少是你真正需要的?在这个过程中,TikTok的“去影响力”趋势旨在挽救我们的银行余额。)”可知,第一段提出两个问题的目的是引出文章的主题,即抖音的“去影响力”趋势。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“And how many of those things that TikTok made you buy did you actually need?(抖音让你买的东西中有多少是你真正需要的?)”;第二段中“It’s a response to a few different things, including a general feeling of over-consumption and the cost of living crisis.(这是对一些不同事情的反应,包括过度消费和生活成本危机的普遍感觉)”以及第三段中“Originally, user-generated content was so popular because people tended to share thoughts on things that they had purchased themselves with no real connection to the brand. Now, with so much to be gained from giving a positive review, it has become harder to tell the genuine reviews from those influenced by the potential for earning.(最初,用户生成内容之所以如此受欢迎,是因为人们倾向于分享他们自己购买的东西,而与品牌没有真正的联系。现在,由于给予积极的评价会让你收获良多,要区分真实的评价和受潜在收入影响的评价变得越来越难了)”可知,导致去影响力的因素有过度消费的整体感觉、现代生活的高成本以及们购买超出需求的行为,越来越多的真实评论不是造成去影响力的因素。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It’s still influence but it’s telling people what not to buy (它仍然有影响力,但它告诉人们不要买什么)”和“While TikTokers may be warning consumers away from expensive or well-known products, some continue to influence by telling consumers what they should buy instead.(虽然TikTokers可能在警告消费者远离昂贵或知名的产品,但一些人继续通过告诉消费者应该买什么来影响消费者)”可知,去影响与影响在引导消费者购买决策方面是相似的。故选B。

Although Sir Isaac Newton did not employ his reflecting telescope to uncover novel astronomical phenomena, he did use it to completely transform how we view the world we live in and the universe as a whole.
Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. Their simplicity in construction and ability to achieve much greater sizes than refractors have led to a transformation in our astronomical knowledge and our comprehension of the universe.
As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) and consequently, distorted images when viewed through a lens. In the time of Newton, the technology for producing glass and lenses was still very primitive, and the challenges associated with chromatic aberration had not been adequately addressed. Today we can make lenses that have almost no chromatic aberration but we can’t make them very large. As the size of a lens increases significantly, it becomes extremely heavy, causing its own weight to distort the lens and consequently ruin the image quality.
Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion.
While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory.
The original telescope constructed by Newton is preserved and maintained by the Royal Society of London. It is showcased in London and occasionally embarks on international tours as an element of exhibitions.
12. What do we know about Newton’s reflecting telescope?
A. It has a complex structure.
B. It relies on mirrors instead of lenses.
C. It can make the image smaller than a refractor.
D. It helped Newton uncover novel astronomical phenomena.
13. What does the underlined word “distorted” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Confused. B. Twisted. C. Evident. D. Vivid.
14. What problems did Newton’s telescope manage to solve?
A. Issues with image quality. B. Restrictions on the size.
C. Challenges of lens making. D. Limits of light passing angles.
15. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Galileo and Halley?
A. To state a fact. B. To raise a point.
C. To explain a concept. D. To make a comparison.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了牛顿发明的反射望远镜使用镜面而非透镜来聚焦光线,避免了由于色差导致的图像失真问题,提高了望远镜的性能,使我们的天文学知识和对宇宙的理解发生了转变。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Reflecting telescopes use mirrors to bend light and enlarge images, distinguishing them from refractors (折射望远镜) that rely on lenses. (反射望远镜使用镜面来让光线转弯并放大图像,将其与依靠透镜的折射望远镜区别开来)”可知,牛顿的反射望远镜依靠镜子而不是透镜来工作。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“As light passes through glass, various colors or bands are refracted at varying angles, leading to chromatic aberration (色差) (当光线穿过玻璃时,各种颜色或波段以不同的角度折射,导致色差)”和下文“images when viewed through a lens (通过镜头观看的图像)”可推知,色差会让图像扭曲失真,画线词意思应该是“扭曲的”,与Twisted意思相近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Newton’s telescope solved these problems. A mirror doesn’t allow light to pass. It simply bounces all the light off the surface. This means there’s no chromatic aberration. Plus, because we only need to bounce light off the surface, we can support the entire mirror on a base, reducing its weight. This allows us to build much larger mirrors without any distortion. (牛顿的望远镜解决了这些问题。镜子不允许光线通过。它只是把所有的光从表面反射回来。这意味着没有色差。另外,因为我们只需要将光线从表面反射出去,我们可以将整个镜子支撑在一个底座上,从而减轻了它的重量。这使我们能够建立更大的镜子没有任何失真)”可知,牛顿的望远镜成功解决了图像因色差以及重量问题而质量不佳的问题。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“While Galileo is credited with the discovery of moons around Jupiter and Halley with predicting the comet’s orbit, what Newton did do was tie in mathematics, astronomy and our comprehension of the universe through the use of his telescope and his universal gravitation theory. (伽利略发现了木星周围的卫星,哈雷预测了彗星的轨道,而牛顿所做的是通过使用他的望远镜和万有引力理论,将数学、天文学和我们对宇宙的理解联系在一起)”可知,与伽利略、哈雷相比,牛顿虽然没有发现新的天文学现象,但是却做到了将数学、天文学和人们对宇宙的理解联系在一起。由此推知,作者提到伽利略、哈雷的目的是做比较。故选D项。

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。
“The cleaners said I could pick our stuff today,” Jet’s mom said on the drive to school.
“Do you think they were able to clean Big Dog?” Jet asked, trying not to sound too worried.
But he was worried. Big Dog was his favourite stuffed animal. Grandpa had won it for him at the fair when he was five years old. Jet was eight now, and he didn’t need to sleep with it or anything. But he did need it. He needed it to sit on the shelf above his bed—the shelf that was now charred (烧焦的) by the house fire.
“I’m not sure what they were able to save,” Mom said. “They said they weren’t able to save our photo albums. I sure will miss those pictures.” Jet could tell she was really sad.
“I’ll pick you up after school, and we’ll go through the boxes together. Then we’ll see if your Big Dog can come back to us.” Mom said before she hugged him good-bye and drove off.
Jet tried to focus on his schoolwork all day, but he couldn’t keep his mind off Big Dog. He clutched (紧抓) his backpack through the halls as if he were carrying his old stuffed friend. During library time, he checked out a book about dogs. At break time, his friends were playing games while his mind was completely occupied by Big Dog.
RRRRRRINNNGGG! Time for art class.
Mr. Light said it was “artist’s choice” day, so they could work on whatever they wished.
Jet stared at an empty page. He thought of his mom picking up the boxes of things that had been damaged by the fire. Then he remembered how sad his mom was about the photo albums. Most things could be replaced at the store. But the pictures were gone forever. If only the photo album could somehow be saved, Jet thought. He wished there was a way to get those memories back, to bring a smile to his mom’s face again.
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。
Paragraph 1: Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too! ”.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Then, all of a sudden, he knew what he could draw. He started with a picture of himself opening presents in front of a Christmas tree. Then one of him and his mom camping. Then there was one of Grandpa, standing tall and smiling, holding out a stuffed toy—Big Dog. The lines of Big Dog came easily, as if Jet had memorized every detail. By the time class was over, Jet had a small album stretched out and was ready to surprise his mom. When Jet’s mom picked him up from school, however, Jet’s eyes were caught by Big Dog in the back seat. He squeezed Big Dog around the neck and hugged it tightly, feeling the familiar softness against his cheek. But then, something inside him shifted. He remembered the album in his backpack.
Paragraph 2:
Jet gave his mom a huge hug, and said, “I have a surprise for you too!” Digging into his backpack, Jet pulled out the small album. “I know we lost a lot of things in the fire, and the photo albums were really special to you.” he said in a soft voice. As Jet’s mom flipped through the pictures, she laughed and cried. There she saw the drawings of their favorite memories. Each picture captured a moment they had shared, a moment they thought they’d lost in the fire. That night, after they unpacked more of the boxes, Jet carefully placed Big Dog back on the shelf above his bed. Maybe the fire had taken some things, but it hadn’t taken what mattered most—their love, their memories, and the chance to keep making new ones.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件的发展线索展开,讲述了妈妈送Jet上学的路上,告知他被烧毁的毛绒玩具“大狗”已经清理干净了,Jet很是担心,一路上和妈妈说着这件事情,妈妈告诉他放学回来接他的时候就可以拿到“大狗”了,到了学校Jet一直想着“大狗”,在美术课上,老师让大家画出自己想画的内容,Jet想到了妈妈看着被烧毁的照片的悲伤,觉得“大狗”能回来,而照片再也回不来了,所以决定要给妈妈画出被毁掉的照片。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然后,突然间,他知道他能画什么了。”可知,第一段可描写Jet绘画的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Jet给了妈妈一个大大的拥抱,说:“我也有一个惊喜给你!””可知,第二段可描写Jet将自己的画递给妈妈时,妈妈的反应。
2.续写线索:绘画——放学后看到“大狗”把画送给妈妈——妈妈感动——回想美好的回忆——珍惜他们可以重现的时刻
