Four things that you can't miss in Macao.
Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee Jump
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor --- it's still remarkable.
Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people.
Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul
The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul's College and the Church of St. Paul built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.
Visiting a museum
Macao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.
1. Which activity will be popular with adventurous visitors?
A. Going Bungee Jumping.
B. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.
C. Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul.
D. Visiting a museum.
2. What is incredible about the Ruins of St. Paul?
A. It has a unique culture.
B. It serves as a symbol of Macao.
C. It partly stays undamaged after fierce fires.
D. It is a combination of a college and a church.
3. What do "'Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner" and "Visiting a museum" have in common?
A. Taking a selfie in it.
B. Finding historical sites.
C. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.
D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.

Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. His father was a Fellow of the Royal Society(the elite circle of top British scientists),his mother was the daughter of Josiah Wedgwood,the man who founded the famous Wedgwood Potteries,and his grandfather,Erasmus Darwin,was a famous physician,thinker and philosopher who,like his grandson,spent much time studying the evolution of life.
After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury,where he was educated at the Grammar School,Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen,he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University,planning to enter the church,but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology.
Shortly after graduating from Cambridge,he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle,which was about to start on a scientific and cartographic(地图的)survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years,during which time he collected considerable documentation.
Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas,particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands,a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises,Darwin observed,differed from island to island,and this,he inferred,showed different forms of evolution,since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas(蜥蜴)he found,and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones,while those that lived on land had a sharper head,more fit for a herbivorous(食草的)animal.
Darwin developed his theory of evolution,but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought,and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it,and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people's observations.
4. What is the purpose of para.1?
A. To honour his family.
B. To increase his popularity.
C. To show his family's influence on him.
D. To highlight his family's contributions.
5. What did Darwin end up studying at Cambridge University?
A. Science. B. Theology. C. Medicine. D. Natural history.
6. Why were the iguanas different from island to island?
A. Because of their types. B. Because of their habitats.
C. Because of their foods. D. Because of their origins.
7. What can be learned about Darwin's theory of evolution?
A. He felt quite content with it. B. He published it once finished.
C. It caused a worldwide disagreement. D. It was a great breakthrough in science.
C
Walking in the local supermarket, you will be caught by the scent (气味) of mixed herbs (香草), mentally transporting you to a kitchen filled with the smell of your favorite home-cooked meal. In no time, your plans for dinner and your shopping list change.
Previous research has found spreading a chocolate scent in a bookstore increased interest in romance books and cookbooks. And natural scents in a store encouraged spending on products with fewer man-made characteristics. Generally, different scents have been shown to influence shoppers’ choices of specific types of clothing.
To understand the effect of herbs, our new research was broken into three parts: experiments in the lab, a field study and online surveys. In our sensory lab at Auckland University of Technology, we invited participants to experience the smell of mixed herbs while shopping in a supermarket. Shoppers bought more baskets of healthy goods when in an environment with the herbal smell compared to the non-herbal smell. In the field study, we spread a herbal scent in two stores and found shoppers experiencing the scent bought more healthy food items than those experiencing no scent. Our online surveys present a similar result-even when the scents are only imagined.
According to the research, when participants are smelling a certain scent, they easily start activities related to the scent. The act of smelling or imagining a herbal scent encourages memories of cooking and eating home-cooked meals prepared from fresh ingredients (食材). We find the mental connection with home-cooking then drives customers to choose and buy related healthy foods rather than processed foods.
Beyond general smells that come from the products, supermarkets often use man-made scents, such as spreading the grapefruit smell in the produce section, and the chocolate smell in the sweet foods section. Understanding the influence of certain smells isn’t just about increasing sales. Supermarkets play a key role in shaping food choices. Using scent marketing to direct customers towards wiser food choices is an under-explored opportunity to achieve better public health results.
8. What can we infer from previous research?
A. Bookstore sales keep rising. B. Material influences the scent quality.
C. Man-made products are gaining popularity. D. Scent marketing has been widely applied.
9. What does the new research show?
A. Natural food markets attract more customers. B. Herbal scents add to the health value of food.
C. Herbal scents encourage healthy food choices. D. Mixed smells cause trouble for decision-making.
10. What is the function of paragraph 4?
A. Raising doubts. B. Explaining reasons.
C. Suggesting solutions. D. Making comparisons.
11. What is a benefit of using man-made scents in supermarkets?
A. Improving public health. B. Promoting food storage.
C. Increasing sales of all products. D. Simplifying product arrangement.
D
Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?
Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.
So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.
In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated (协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.
For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.
We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.
12. What’s the author’s attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?
A. Supportive.
B. Disapproving.
C. Optimistic.
D. Uncaring.
13. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
A. To follow an old practice.
B. To help reduce energy use.
C. To completely replace air conditioners.
D. To help cut down on daily expenses.
14. What’s the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?
A. All parties should get started at the same time.
B. The basic architecture should be finished first.
C. Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.
D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Waste less, live better
B. Goodbye, air conditioning
C. How to reduce the energy cost
D. Green buildings call for integrated design

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
___16___Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency (趋势) to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. ___17___Others take a more active approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment. However, watching too much TV in your spare time often contributes to laziness._____18_____Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.
___19___Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
___20___Enough exercise and a balanced diet can enable you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, developing a healthy lifestyle can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination (意志力), you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

I thought my way was more ___24___ than others. So I chose to. ___25___ the way Ms Brown was teaching.
One day, Ms Brown asked me and the other four students to solve math problems on the blackboard. ___26___, she watched us doing our work. I was on the far end, away from the teacher, but I was worried that she would ___27___ me doing things the “wrong” way. So after figuring out the answers, I quickly ___28___ my detailed work.
When Ms Brown ___29___ me, she agreed my answers were right. But she insisted that I should show my ____30____ and redo my work. I was honestly expecting a(n) ____31____ for not using her way. To my surprise, she ____32____ me and even told the whole class mine was a better way of solving these kinds of problems.
It is only after I became an adult that I could fully ____33____ how refreshing it was to have a teacher who was willing to let kids solve problems in their own way rather than insisting that they stick to the ____34____ taught way. To this day, I am still grateful to Ms Brown for her ____35____ teaching style.

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。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and he ran. Henry went straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽视) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Everyday after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
注意:
1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.

After a childhood in the town of Shrewsbury,where he was educated at the Grammar School,Darwin went up to Edinburgh University to study medicine and natural history. When he was eighteen,he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University,planning to enter the church,but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology.
Shortly after graduating from Cambridge,he got a job as a naturalist on the ship H. M. S. Beagle,which was about to start on a scientific and cartographic(地图的)survey of the South American coast. The journey started in December 1831 and was to last almost five years,during which time he collected considerable documentation.
Darwin was struck by the animals of the south seas,particularly by the tortoises he found on the Galapagos Islands,a group of Pacific Islands. The Galapagos tortoises,Darwin observed,differed from island to island,and this,he inferred,showed different forms of evolution,since the animals obviously came from the same origins. Darwin was also struck by the iguanas(蜥蜴)he found,and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones,while those that lived on land had a sharper head,more fit for a herbivorous(食草的)animal.
Darwin developed his theory of evolution,but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought,and attracted violent argument all over Europe. Many found fault in it,and Darwin spent the rest of his life improving his theory in the light of other people's observations.

推理判断题。根据第一段“Charles Darwin was born into a family of thinkers. (查尔斯·达尔文出生于一个思想家家庭。) ”及后文对他父亲,母亲,祖父的介绍可知,达尔文的家人社会地位都很高,家人对达尔文的影响很大。所以第一段的写作目的是为了表明家庭对达尔文的影响。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“When he was eighteen, he left Edinburgh and went to Cambridge University, planning to enter the church, but he was more interested in science than in religion and later he abandoned theology. (十八岁时,他离开爱丁堡,进入剑桥大学,打算进入教堂,但他对科学比对宗教更感兴趣,后来他放弃了神学。)”可知,达尔文进入剑桥大学后,对科学更感兴趣,故推知他在剑桥大学最终主修科学。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Darwin was also struck by the iguanas (蜥蜴) he found, and observed that those which lived in water had heads suitable for finding food among stones, while those that lived on land had a sharper head, more fit for a herbivorous (食草的) animal.(达尔文也被他发现的蜥蜴所震撼了,并观察到那些生活在水中的蜥蜴的头部适合在石头中寻找食物,而那些生活在陆地上的蜥蜴有更锋利的头部,更适合食草动物。)可知,生活在水中的蜥蜴和生活在陆地上的蜥蜴是因为生活环境的不同导致生物进化差异。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Darwin developed his theory of evolution, but it was not until 1859 that he actually published it. It was instantly seen as a great milestone in scientific thought, and attracted violent argument all over Europe. (达尔文发展了他的进化论,但直到1859年他才真正发表了它。它立即被视为科学思想的一个伟大里程碑,并引起了整个欧洲的激烈争论。)”可知,达尔文的进化论是科学思想的一个伟大的里程碑,是科学界的一个伟大的突破。故选D。

Walking in the local supermarket, you will be caught by the scent (气味) of mixed herbs (香草), mentally transporting you to a kitchen filled with the smell of your favorite home-cooked meal. In no time, your plans for dinner and your shopping list change.
Previous research has found spreading a chocolate scent in a bookstore increased interest in romance books and cookbooks. And natural scents in a store encouraged spending on products with fewer man-made characteristics. Generally, different scents have been shown to influence shoppers’ choices of specific types of clothing.
To understand the effect of herbs, our new research was broken into three parts: experiments in the lab, a field study and online surveys. In our sensory lab at Auckland University of Technology, we invited participants to experience the smell of mixed herbs while shopping in a supermarket. Shoppers bought more baskets of healthy goods when in an environment with the herbal smell compared to the non-herbal smell. In the field study, we spread a herbal scent in two stores and found shoppers experiencing the scent bought more healthy food items than those experiencing no scent. Our online surveys present a similar result-even when the scents are only imagined.
According to the research, when participants are smelling a certain scent, they easily start activities related to the scent. The act of smelling or imagining a herbal scent encourages memories of cooking and eating home-cooked meals prepared from fresh ingredients (食材). We find the mental connection with home-cooking then drives customers to choose and buy related healthy foods rather than processed foods.
Beyond general smells that come from the products, supermarkets often use man-made scents, such as spreading the grapefruit smell in the produce section, and the chocolate smell in the sweet foods section. Understanding the influence of certain smells isn’t just about increasing sales. Supermarkets play a key role in shaping food choices. Using scent marketing to direct customers towards wiser food choices is an under-explored opportunity to achieve better public health results.
8. What can we infer from previous research?
A. Bookstore sales keep rising. B. Material influences the scent quality.
C. Man-made products are gaining popularity. D. Scent marketing has been widely applied.
9. What does the new research show?
A. Natural food markets attract more customers. B. Herbal scents add to the health value of food.
C. Herbal scents encourage healthy food choices. D. Mixed smells cause trouble for decision-making.
10. What is the function of paragraph 4?
A. Raising doubts. B. Explaining reasons.
C. Suggesting solutions. D. Making comparisons.
11. What is a benefit of using man-made scents in supermarkets?
A. Improving public health. B. Promoting food storage.
C. Increasing sales of all products. D. Simplifying product arrangement.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,香草气味能促使顾客购买更多健康食品,人造气味也在超市中常被使用以提升销售。通过在超市中应用香味营销,商家不仅可以增加销量,还可以引导顾客做出更健康的食品选择,从而改善公共健康。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Previous research has found spreading a chocolate scent in a bookstore increased interest in romance books and cookbooks. And natural scents in a store encouraged spending on products with fewer man-made characteristics.(先前的研究发现,在书店散发巧克力气味会增加对浪漫书籍和烹饪书籍的兴趣。而商店中的自然气味则鼓励人们购买具有较少人造特征的产品)”可知,气味营销已经被广泛应用。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Shoppers bought more baskets of healthy goods when in an environment with the herbal smell compared to the non-herbal smell.(在有香草气味的环境中,购物者购买的健康商品比在没有香草气味的环境中更多)”以及第三段“In the field study, we spread a herbal scent in two stores and found shoppers experiencing the scent bought more healthy food items than those experiencing no scent.(在实地研究中,我们在两家商店散发香草气味,发现体验到这种气味的购物者购买的健康食品比没有体验到这种气味的购物者更多)”可知,香草气味鼓励健康食品的选择。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to the research, when participants are smelling a certain scent, they easily start activities related to the scent. The act of smelling or imagining a herbal scent encourages memories of cooking and eating home-cooked meals prepared from fresh ingredients (食材).(根据研究,当参与者闻到某种气味时,他们很容易开始与气味相关的活动。闻到或想象香草气味的行为会激发烹饪和食用新鲜食材准备的家常饭菜的记忆)”可知,第四段的功能是解释原因。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Beyond general smells that come from the products, supermarkets often use man-made scents, such as spreading the grapefruit smell in the produce section, and the chocolate smell in the sweet foods section.(除了来自产品的一般气味外,超市还经常使用人造气味,比如在农产品区散布葡萄柚味,在甜食区散布巧克力味)”以及“Using scent marketing to direct customers towards wiser food choices is an under-explored opportunity to achieve better public health results.(利用气味营销引导顾客做出更明智的食品选择是一个未被充分探索的机会,可以实现更好的公共健康结果)”可知,使用人造气味的好处是改善公共健康。故选A。

Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?
Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.
So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.
In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated (协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.
For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.
We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.
12. What’s the author’s attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?
A. Supportive.
B. Disapproving.
C Optimistic.
D. Uncaring.
13. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
A. To follow an old practice.
B To help reduce energy use.
C. To completely replace air conditioners.
D. To help cut down on daily expenses.
14. What’s the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?
A. All parties should get started at the same time.
B. The basic architecture should be finished first.
C. Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.
D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Waste less, live better
B. Goodbye, air conditioning
C. How to reduce the energy cost
D. Green buildings call for integrated design
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者认为要建造可持续的建筑以实现节能需要一体化设计。

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
___16___Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency (趋势) to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. ___17___Others take a more active approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment. However, watching too much TV in your spare time often contributes to laziness._____18_____Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.
___19___Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
___20___Enough exercise and a balanced diet can enable you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. To fight family laziness, set an example.
B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D. Finally, developing a healthy lifestyle can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination (意志力), you will be able to achieve your goal.

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。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day, Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let's go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with (插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into trouble. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don't want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward (懦夫), and afraid to go,” said Robert, and he ran. Henry went straight home and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored (忽视) the other boys' laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn't invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Everyday after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
注意:
1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2)续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned only with his hands sticking out of the water. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran quickly to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking at the last moment. By great effort, and with too much danger to himself, he brought Robert back to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Robert had true courage. And it was Henry who was the true friend worth making. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
