Blogging Australia
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath.Until a few years ago I was a chef,and a happy one at that,but I wanted more out of life.I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog.In less than 18 months,there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first,I only regarded it as a hobby,but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them.In 2013,I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photo blogger.It was a challenging job,but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online.I've got to know more about this country and its people.
What is your connection to Western Australia?
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013.I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times.Some of my favourite photographs were taken there.I have made over 140 work trips,but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
What do you love most about Western Australia?
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else.The Kimberley region,in particular,is unique and untouched.As a photographer,I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks,green plants,blue-green waters and blue skies.
How does your love of nature influence your photography?
To work full time in travel,you have to love nature.I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world.I love to photograph the rising sun,so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day.I also enjoy photographing animals,such as dolphins and kangaroos.
Does your photography support environmental protection?
I hope so.I use my photography to make an impact on people,especially when it comes to environmental issues.Today I've been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat,the Kimberley Quest,all day.When I post the picture online,I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles.This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans.Over time,this could make her a danger to people living in the area.If I can do something to make others aware of the problem,then that's part of the solution.

写作任务
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。
(2023·合肥一中高二下联考)
Mr.Taylor checked again: water,food,bandage,medicines,a compass,and a map wrapped in plastic...Bingo! He put all that he prepared for the coming hiking into his backpack.
Mr.Taylor was fond of hiking,this time in particular,for it was the first time for him to hike with his two sons,Harry and Joel.Joel liked reading books about explorers and Harry joined the hiking club in his school this term.“It will be an unforgettable experience,definitely,” he whispered to himself unconsciously,a smile spreading over his face.
Harry and Joel,however,argued for the first three miles of their hiking trip. Harry accused Joel of wearing smelly old shoes.Joel blamed Harry for using all of the bug spray(杀虫剂).Harry told Joel he smelled terrible.Joel called Harry a coward.
“Will the two of you just quiet down and enjoy our hike together?” their father said. “You're missing all of the beautiful scenery!”
It was true.Neither Joel nor Harry had taken notice of the bear their father had spied at the start of their trip.They hadn't looked up at the eagle he pointed out overhead.Worst of all,they hadn't paid any attention to the turns and twists along the way while they continued their argument.
“Joel threw a stick at me!” Harry screamed.“That's not true!” Joel shouted back.
Mr.Taylor could no longer contain his anger.“And both of you need to stop arguing!”he erupted.As he turned to face them,his left foot caught on a root. He slipped backward and down muddy bank,falling into the river that ran alongside the path,Harry and Joel raced to their father's assistance.They helped him up out of the water,and then dragged his wet backpack up onto land.
Fortunately,their wet-through father found himself just slightly injured.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. ___________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
“Just calm down,” Mr.Taylor shouted.“Without my glasses,we need to work together to find our way.”_______________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
写作思路
续写三步曲
第一步:语篇首句读明白
1.语篇脉络
(1)Taylor先生第一次和两个儿子Harry和Joel一起徒步旅行很高兴。
(2)行程初两个孩子争吵,惹得Taylor先生生气,他的左脚被树根缠住了,并掉进了路旁的河里。
(3)两个儿子前去帮助父亲,浑身湿透的父亲发现自己只是受了点轻伤。
2.所给首句
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water.
【译文】 ________________________________
“Just calm down,” Mr.Taylor shouted.“Without my glasses,we need to work together to find our way.”
【译文】 ______________________________________________________
____________________
但是他掉进水里的时候眼镜掉了。
“冷静点。”泰勒先生喊道:“我没有眼镜,我们需要共同努力找到我们的路。”
第二步:思有所依六要点
1.预测续写走向
________________________________
2.设计续写要点
首段:
(1)要点一:承接首段首句
根据首段首句中his glasses came off,应描述寻找眼镜。
(2)要点二:情节继续推进
根据第二段首句可知,兄弟两人依然争吵,因此此处描写争吵的原因,比如没找到眼镜相互埋怨。
父子协作解决问题,行程最终顺利。
(3)要点三:铺垫第二段首句
根据第二段首句Just calm down,应描写兄弟两人再次争吵的场面。
第二段:
(4)要点四:承接第二段首句
根据第二段首句we need to work together to find our way,应描写兄弟两人停止争吵,父子开始协作努力。
(5)要点五:故事结局
描写大家齐心协力,在父亲没有眼镜的情况下顺利完成远足旅行。
(6)要点六:主题总结升华
描写人物感受或态度转变。
第三步:造句成文见美篇
1.根据上文构思成句(适当增加描写)
(1)哈利和乔尔涉水回到河里。树枝和树叶绕着他们的脚踝打转,然后顺着水流漂走。没有找到眼镜!(场景描写)
Harry and Joel waded back into the river.Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before _________________________.No glasses!
(2)哈利认为眼镜可能被冲到下游去了。没有眼镜爸爸就看不见了。
Harry thought they might have been swept downstream,______________ Mr.Taylor couldn't see.
floating away on the current
without which
(3)怎么继续远足?怎么回家呢?“哦,太棒了!现在我们迷路了,”乔尔抱怨道,“可能要过几天才会有人找到我们。”“不,多亏了你,”哈利指责道。(对话描写)
Could they continue the hiking? How could they get home? “Oh great! Now we're lost,” groaned Joel,“and ______________________ someone finds us.” “No, thanks to you,” Harry blamed.
(4)泰勒先生在背包里摸索,拿出地图和指南针。
Mr.Taylor searched in his backpack and ______________________________.
it might be days before
pulled the map and the compass out
(5)幸运的是,乔尔从书本上学会了如何看地图,哈利从登山俱乐部里学会了如何使用指南针。他们停止了争论,低头看地图,寻找那条河,并用指南针找到方向。
Luckily,Joel learned _________________ from his books,and Harry knew how to use a compass from his hiking club.They stopped arguing,looked down at the map,so that they __________________ and used the compass to find the direction.
(6) 泰勒松了一口气,自豪地笑了:“你们俩会挽救大局的。你们是很好的徒步旅行伙伴!”(总结升华句)
In relief,Mr.Taylor beamed proudly,“You two will save the day. You're _______________________!”
how to read a map
searched for the river
pretty good hiking partners
2.打磨美文连句成篇(注意逻辑衔接)
But his glasses came off when he fell in the water. ____________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Harry and Joel waded back into the river.Twigs and leaves swirled around their ankles before floating away on the current.No glasses! Harry thought they might have been swept downstream,without which Mr.Taylor couldn't see.Could they continue the hiking? How could they get home? “Oh great! Now we're lost,” groaned Joel,“and it might be days before someone finds us.” “No, thanks to you,” Harry blamed.
“Just calm down,” Mr.Taylor shouted.“Without my glasses,we need to work together to find our way.” ___________________________________

Long long ago,several men had a jar of wine,but it's not enough for all.很久很久以前,有几个人有一壶酒,但不够大家一起喝。
Each of them wanted to drink it alone.So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished drawing first would drink the wine.他们每个人都想着自己一个人喝,于是就定了一个规矩:每人在地上画一条蛇,谁先画好,谁就喝这壶酒。

They began to draw on the ground with sticks.他们开始用棍子在地上画蛇。
One man of them finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy with their drawings,so he decided to add feet to his snake.其中一个人很快就把蛇画好了,他正准备喝这壶酒的时候,这时他看到其他人还在忙着画,他就决定再给他的蛇添上几只脚。
However,before he finished,another man grabbed the jar and said,“I've finished. Who has ever seen a snake with feet?”然而,在他完成之前,另一个人抢过壶说:“我画完了。谁见过长脚的蛇呢?”
With these words,he drank up the wine.说着,他将酒一饮而尽。

Quick,what's seven times seven plus ten? If you can tell Ahmed “Medy” Alwan,a cashier at the Lucky Candy bodega in the Bronx,you could get all the snacks your heart desires.For the past couple weeks,the 20-year-old has been quizzing customers on basic math equations.When a customer gets one right,they get five(well,more like ten)seconds to grab whatever they want in the deli.
For Ahmed“Medy”Alwan,23,joy is as essential as breakfast—and customers at his family's corner store sometimes struggle for both.So he came up with a clever way to brighten his customers' days.“I've always helped out people in the neighborhood,”he says.“They've known me since I was a little kid.I know half of them by name.And,you know,sometimes they need credit.”
Lucky Candy is located on a busy street in the Bronx,which is what's known as a food desert,where affordable,healthy food is scarce.Many residents rely on neighborhood shops like Lucky Candy for their daily needs.
Enter the bodega challenge on the social media.Whenever a resident gets an answer right,one of two things usually happens.Some kids dart for the candy,and who could blame them? Others grab things like rice,oranges,and potatoes,clearly thinking of the family at home.
“They're doing something good,”Berto,a student who stopped in after school,told Inside Edition.“Here,we see a lot of people who don't even have anything.”
Alwan covers the sprees with his paycheck.But his boss,as known as his father,Saleh Aobad,doesn't mind chipping in too.A Yemeni immigrant,Aobad knows that in one of the toughest,most competitive places in the U.S.,a bit of help goes a long way.
“This changed our relationship with the community big time,”says Alwan.“They're showing so much love,and they're lining up at the store for a chance to play.”

(2023·南京市重点中学高二期中联考)
Once upon a time,science fiction was just a style among other styles.There were crime stories,there were horror stories,there was literary fiction,and there was science fiction.But today science themes dominate other styles.It's difficult to think of much modern crime,horror or“serious”fiction that doesn't involve science.
And it's not just books.With every second movie and computer game having a sci-fi element,science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture.It's clear that if we want to define science fiction,we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives.
Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times,it is more reasonable to find it in initial form in the 19th century,when industrial societies arose.One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life.Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods,which were transported by trains,motor vehicles and ships all over the world.Cities were built on the back of technology,with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier,more convenient lives.All of these changes had great effects not only on people's real lives,but on their imaginative ones.
Writers began to describe these changing physical and mental landscapes,eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers,who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create.
But sci-fiction reflected fears for science rather than hopes.These typical early science fiction novels might be a UK novel like H.G.Wells' The War of the Worlds(1897).With great skill,Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization—that of men from Mars.
The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution,robotics and our environmental challenges,while it is less concerned with“little green men from Mar”and other themes of past sci-fiction.
Given that science,technology and polities are always intertwined,contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power.Many recent novels—like American Cory Doctorow's Little Brother (2008 )—are concerned with government and security service“conspiracies(阴谋)”against the people,particularly as the revelations of whistle blowers like Edward Snowden sink in.This can give sci-fi writing a“skeptical (怀疑的)”feel.
This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today.
As then,so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be,not how it will be a paradise.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科幻小说对其他文体的影响,并介绍了其起源以及现代科幻小说与以前的不同。

(2024·北京通州期末)
Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流).Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment.However,ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way—studying movements of random floating garbage (垃圾).As a scientist with many years' experience,he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States.There were so many shoes that people were setting up trading markets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes—about 60,000 in total—fell into the ocean in a shipping accident.He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.As expected,the company told him that they didn't.Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment.If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed,he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here,and as a result,there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in amassing information about where the shoes landed.In a year he gathered reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data,he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents,and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work,Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean.He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts,with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand.They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海洋专家 Curtis Ebbesmeyer通过追踪随机漂浮垃圾的运动轨迹这种特殊的方式来研究洋流。
细节理解题。根据第二段可知,Ebbesmeyer打电话给该公司想弄清他们是否想要回这些鞋子,得到“不想要回”的答复之后, Ebbesmeyer决定利用这些鞋子做实验。因此Ebbesmeyer 打电话的目的是确定自己是否有权使用这些鞋子。故选B。
32.What did Ebbesmeyer phone the shoe company to find out?
A.How much they lost in the shipping accident.
B.Whether it was all right to use their shoes.
C.When and where the shoes went missing.
D.What caused the shipping accident.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词前后文的内容可知, Ebbesmeyer认识了海滩拾荒者中的很多人,并请求他们帮助收集有关鞋子落在哪里的信息。在一年的时间里,他收集了1 600双鞋子的可靠信息。由此可知,amassing的意思是“收集”,与 collecting意思相近。故选A。
33.What does the underlined word“amassing”mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Collecting. B.Offering.
C.Creating. D.Using.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,在一年内,他收集了1 600双鞋子的可靠信息。有了这些数据,他和一位同事能够测试和改进一个用于模拟洋流的计算机程序,并发表了他们的研究结果。由此可推知,Ebbesmeyer是通过收集这些来自海滩拾荒者关于鞋子的信息来验证并得到研究结果的。故选D。
34.How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A.By searching the web for models of ocean currents.
B.By studying the shoes found by beachcombers.
C.By researching data of ocean currents in the library.
D.By collecting information from beachcombers.
√
写作目的题。根据第一段中的内容“今天,科学家们正在努力研究洋流。大多数人使用卫星和其他高科技设备。然而,海洋专家Curtis Ebbesmeyer采用追踪随机漂浮垃圾的运动轨迹这种特殊的方式来研究洋流。”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是阐述一种特殊的研究洋流的方式。故选B。
35.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A.To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.
B.To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
C.To call people's attention to ocean pollution.

Dear Li Hua,
I am so delighted that to know you are interested in kangaroos.Now let me introduce kangaroos to you.
The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia.Kangaroos are the highest and farthest jumping mammals.The female kangaroo has an open front pouch.Kangaroos are timid and alert,but vision,hearing and smelling are very sensitive.Kangaroos live by jumping,with short and thin forelimbs that can be used to grab food.Kangaroos are found mainly in mainland Australia.Some of these species are unique to Australia.They are mostly nocturnal,but some are active in the early morning or late evening.Different species of kangaroos live in a variety of natural environments in Australia,from the cool climate of rainforests,deserts,plains to the tropics.
If you want to know more,do not hesitate to tell me.
Yours,
Tom

(2023·浙江省十二校月考)
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce,loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime,which now stretches to 92 years.I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran,because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer,I lost my job and felt hopeless.One day,I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table.“There you go,” she said.“You do know what you're doing with these things,don't you?”
It was a new phone.Her current mobile was pretty ancient.I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good.That's why I ask you.You young people know more about such things than us oldies.You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on.“Then,when you bring it back,you can show me how to use my new phone,such as getting on the Internet,sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up.Setting up the phone would be easy.It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone.“Here's your phone.It's all ready to use.”
For the next hour,I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition,which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕).“What do you mean,swipe?” she asked.She was 92;I reminded myself.This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened.When I finally got her to swipe,she didn't put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away.After what seemed like hours,she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa.“Take it away!” she howled.“I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“Come on,Eileen.One more try.” I said.__________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________
“This time I'll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use.Guess what.It took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I.I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared.“I want a selfie with you.Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit,but she didn't need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing.“I can't wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily.“Thank you for your patience,Tom.”
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. _________________________

Great-grandma's spirit inspired me greatly.It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills,then so could I.I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more.There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it.I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother.My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.
