三、练习
1.(2023·新课标Ⅰ & Ⅱ)
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing.My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith(银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth.Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think,as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired.I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half-dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again.When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I won first place!So overwhelmed with excitement and disbelief was I that my heart was pounding quickly. Finally came the big day! When my name was announced, I walked onto the stage against wild cheers and thunderous applause. Feeling extremely excited and proud, I accepted the prize, a symbol and recognition of my past perseverance and hard work. Thinking about this, I shed tears of gratitude, as there was one special person who meant a lot to me.
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. “Congratulations! I knew you would win,” he said,hugging me tightly. “Thank you. I wouldn’t be what I am today without your encouragement.” A sense of gratitude welled up in the bottom of my heart. Patting my shoulder, he smiled, “It is your efforts that count most.” From then on, I began to bury myself in English writing. With my teacher’s inspiration, I determined to keep on challenging myself and embrace a better me.

Palm trees seemed to speed by the car window. Eight-year-old Katrina began to get nervous, the way she always did in new surroundings. She felt a thin shine of sweat above her lip in spite of the car’s cool air. “The aquarium won’t be crowded, I bet, and people are gonna notice me. I hate wearing this prosthesis leg (假肢).” She felt tears pinprick behind her eyes. “Not being normal is the worst.”
Entering the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, around a comer of a tank, she noticed an animal that looked unusual. “Is that a dolphin with stump (假肢) instead of a tail?” she asked an aquarium staff. He nodded. “Yes, that’s Winter. She’s a very special dolphin.” “What happened to her?” “This girl dolphin was found off the coast of Florida, caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap cut off the blood circulation to her tail. So she lost her tail,” Katrina caught her breath. “She’s just like me. She’s just like me.” “But she struggled to survive. Now she wears a prosthetic tail part of the day to help her swim like a dolphin’s supposed to swim.” the staff continued, “Every day, Winter shows us anything is possible if we believe.”
Katrina felt her heart string was touched. She waved at Winter. Looking at Katrina, Winter raised her flipper (鳍), came to her and lifted her head. “She’s swimming right into my arms,” Katrina said tearfully. They made eye contact. She seemed to be speaking to Katrina: We’re the same.
Back home, all Katrina talked about was Winter. For two weeks, she cried and begged her mother to take her back to Clearwater.
Unfortunately, another blow hit Katrina. She fell on the hardwood floor at home and broke her other leg. Katrina was in constant leg nerve pain. After a through examination, the doctor explained bad news that she would need another surgery on her leg. Years of a living hell came back to her.
She started fearing surgery again and refused to take any.

参考范文
Katrina’s mom decided to take her back to Clearwater. On arriving at Clearwater, Katrina couldn’t wait to see Winter, the lovely dolphin that comforted her and boosted her mood. As Katrina’s mother pushed the wheelchair to Winter, she raised her flipper, came to her and lifted her head. Katrina couldn’t hold back her excitement. Looking at the girl, Winter seemed to say “Go and take the surgery.” Katrina absolutely knew what that caring eyes were conveying, so she decided to keep a more optimistic state of mind.
Finally came the day when Katrina was in the hospital again. Though feeling nervous and afraid of the pain the surgery might bring, Katrina would face it bravely. The operation was a success. Her mother took her to Clearwater the day she was discharged from hospital. Inspired by Winter’s swimming like a normal dolphin, Katrina practiced hard to walk. Her confidence has been improved as she gradually recovered. Katrina has no idea what the future holds but she will do anything to have a better look at this wonderful world.
