Whether you just want to keep them as a personal reminder, or share your story with the world, prepare to be an expert to get high-quality photos! Camera, Photographer, and Location It’s best to use a digital camera. If you have a camera stand, that’s great; otherwise, try to get someone to take your photos—don’t worry, he or she doesn’t have to be a professional photographer! Choose a well-lit area in front of a plain wall. The simpler the background is, the more attention will be on you and your transformation. Dress Code (密码) A swimsuit or form-fitting workout clothes work best. You should show as much of your body as you’re comfortable with, but please keep it appropriate for public consumption. Photo Composition Take full-body photos and make sure your face can be clearly seen. Try to take the photos from different angles, such as a front view and a side view. Whatever you do, consistency is key! Ideally, your “before” and “after” photos will show you doing the same poses, wearing the same clothes, in the same place both before and after your transformation. This way, your body is the only thing that can be seen changing. Timing Make sure to take the photos at the beginning, during, and end of your program so that you can see your progress over time. If you’re doing a 90-day program, for example, you could take photos on Day 1,and then on Day 30, Day 60, and Day 90 until you’re done. 1. What is the aim of a set of “before” and “after” photos? A. To record a touching story. B. To remember a trip. C. To share a workout method. D. To show a transformation. 2. What is needed before taking “before” and “after” photos? A. A plain setting. B. A fashionable dress. C. A high-tech camera. D. A well-trained photographer. 3. Which of the following can probably guarantee high-quality “before” and “after” photos? A Taking photos every day. B. Adopting a unique angle. C. Making your face visible. D. Wearing a consistent smile. B Looking up at the sky during early spring, you may see groups of birds moving as they migrate (迁徙) north. But how do these creatures fly in such a cooperative and seemingly effortless fashion? “The answer lies in aerodynamics (空气动力学),” reports a team of scientists from New York University(NYU)in a newly published study. They also found that the impact of aerodynamics depends on the size of the flying group—benefiting small groups and disturbing large ones. To mimic (模仿) the flying patterns of birds in which they line up one directly behind the other, the researchers created mechanized wings. They were 3D-printed from plastic and driven by motors to move in water, which showed how air flows around bird wings and how they interact during flight. For smaller groups, the researchers discovered an effect by which each member gets help from the aerodynamics in holding its position relative to its neighbors. For larger groups, however, these flying interactions cause later members to be thrown out of position, causing a breakdown of the flying patterns due to crashes among members. The researchers then used mathematical modeling to better understand the underlying forces. It indicates that the interactions between neighbors are spring-like forces. However, these “springs” act in only one direction—a lead bird can apply force on its followers, but not the other way around. “The spring-like forces move the members back and forth and then travel down the group and increase in intensity, causing later members to crash together, explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University. “This area of research is important since animals are known to take advantage of the flows to save on the energy or to reduce drag or resistance,” explains Leif Ristroph. “Our work may also have applications in transportation—like efficient speeding through air or water—and energy, such as more effectively harvesting power from wind or waves.” 4. What is the major focus of the NYU researchers’ study on birds? A. The migration patterns of birds. B. The flying routes in early spring. C. The benefits of smaller bird grouping. D. The aerodynamic effects on bird groups. 5. How do flying interactions affect smaller groups of birds? A. They lead to a breakdown. B. They disturb the formation. C. They help each member in position. D. They cause crashes among members. 6. Why does the author mention “springs” in paragraph 4? A. To make a contrast. B. To explain a principle. C. To put forward a theory. D. To present new evidence. 7. According to Leif Ristroph, what might be a potential application of this research? A. Relieving public traffic jams. B. Improving harvest of solar energy. C. Changing migration routes of birds. D. Decreasing air resistance of planes. C Are you happy? What does occur to me is that there is more to life than simply the pursuit of happiness. Imagine that scientists have invented a machine that can be hooked (钩) up to your brain so that it can give you every pleasurable experience you could ever want. These scientists have designed it so that you can’t distinguish between those pleasurable feelings you have yourself and those that come from the machine, making you blessedly unaware you are actually floating in a tank, with electrodes (电极) in your brain. So, offered the chance to be hooked up to the machine for the rest of your life, would you choose the machine or real life? The vast majority of people would choose real life, despite some discomfort, sorrow, and upset. This thought-experiment aimed to show that there is something other than pure pleasure that gives our lives meaning. As humans, we need contrast in our emotions - the dark to make the light much brighter for us. Was Michelangelo happy when he was painting the Sistine Chapel? No one really knows, but he was probably quite frustrated and angry at times as well as bored, lonely and tired. He might have neck pain for most of it from looking up to paint for hours. But he didn’t do it to feel happy. It gave him a strong sense of purpose, meaning and accomplishment. Surely this is what is at the heart of what drives us. What’s also interesting is that it’s hard to say whether we really are happy or not. A psychiatry professor said that happiness is often experienced in retrospect — we look back on a time of our lives, an event or a moment and recall it with happiness. When we say we were happy in a relationship, for example, what we often mean is that recalling that relationship gives us happiness now. 8. What is the function of the machine mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Creating desired pleasure. B. Boosting your brain power. C. Detecting the surroundings. D. Helping you identify feelings. 9. Why does the author mention Michelangelo and his creation? A. To prove the impact of creativity. B. To recognize his contribution to art. C. To inspire other artists to work harder. D. To show the importance of emotional contrast. 10. What does the underlined word “retrospect” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A review. B. A procedure. C. A condition. D. A scene. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the passage? A. Life highlights hope. B. Life goes beyond happiness. C. Life calls for rapid action. D. Life reflects your thoughts. D Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 12. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 13. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A. brought good luck to Disney and his park B contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C. was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D. presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 14. What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C. People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Maybe you are feeling down because of the financial crisis. Maybe you are feeling overloaded by holiday tasks. Or maybe you are rushing around to try to get things done before you leave for vacation. ____16____ In the next thirty minutes, check off as many of the following items as possible. Each one will lift your mood, boost your feelings of self-efficacy (自我效能) and bring about happiness. Boost your energy.

Do you think organ donation is a good idea? Sign up online to be one yourself; it takes less than a minute. ____19____ Refill your water bottle from the tap instead of buying a couple of bottles throughout the day.

At school whenever someone tried to talk to her, her mind would race with worries: “What if I say something wrong? What if they think I'm strange? ” These thoughts always made her stumble over her words or give awkward replies. Once, after she accidentally gave a wrong answer in class, she heard some classmates giggling (咯咯地笑). Since then, she had become even more afraid to speak up. One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, she noticed a small dog huddled (蜷缩) under a bush. The dog looked lost and scared, just like how she felt whenever she tried to join a conversation. It was shivering, wet, and alone. Lena crouched down and gently approached it. The dog wagged (摇摆) its tail slightly and came closer. Lena noticed a blue collar hidden under its wet fur. Something about its trusting eyes made her heart ache. She decided to take it home. Her parents agreed to keep it temporarily while searching for its owner. Lena named the dog “Shadow” because it followed her everywhere, just like her own shadows of self-doubt. As days passed, Lena noticed how naturally Shadow interacted with everyone. At the park, he would approach others with complete confidence and make friends effortlessly. Even when he made mistakes, like accidentally knocking over someone's water bottle, his friendly tail wag would make everyone laugh with him, not at him. Taking Shadow for walks gave Lena unexpected friendships. Emily, a girl from her class, often came to the park with her own dog. They started talking about their pets, and soon Emily became Lena’ s first real friend. Through Emily, Lena met other kids and gradually found herself part of a group that would meet at the park to play with their dogs. For the first time, she felt like she belonged. 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.

To mimic (模仿) the flying patterns of birds in which they line up one directly behind the other, the researchers created mechanized wings. They were 3D-printed from plastic and driven by motors to move in water, which showed how air flows around bird wings and how they interact during flight. For smaller groups, the researchers discovered an effect by which each member gets help from the aerodynamics in holding its position relative to its neighbors. For larger groups, however, these flying interactions cause later members to be thrown out of position, causing a breakdown of the flying patterns due to crashes among members. The researchers then used mathematical modeling to better understand the underlying forces. It indicates that the interactions between neighbors are spring-like forces. However, these “springs” act in only one direction—a lead bird can apply force on its followers, but not the other way around. “The spring-like forces move the members back and forth and then travel down the group and increase in intensity, causing later members to crash together, explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University. “This area of research is important since animals are known to take advantage of the flows to save on the energy or to reduce drag or resistance,” explains Leif Ristroph. “Our work may also have applications in transportation—like efficient speeding through air or water—and energy, such as more effectively harvesting power from wind or waves.” 4. What is the major focus of the NYU researchers’ study on birds? A The migration patterns of birds. B. The flying routes in early spring. C. The benefits of smaller bird grouping. D. The aerodynamic effects on bird groups. 5. How do flying interactions affect smaller groups of birds? A. They lead to a breakdown. B. They disturb the formation. C. They help each member in position. D. They cause crashes among members. 6. Why does the author mention “springs” in paragraph 4? A. To make a contrast. B. To explain a principle. C. To put forward a theory. D. To present new evidence. 7. According to Leif Ristroph, what might be a potential application of this research? A. Relieving public traffic jams. B. Improving harvest of solar energy. C. Changing migration routes of birds. D. Decreasing air resistance of planes. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员通过对鸟类飞行模式的研究，发现空气动力学的影响取决于飞行群体的规模——对小群体有利，对大群体不利。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““The answer lies in aerodynamics (空气动力学),” reports a team of scientists from New York University(NYU)in a newly published study. They also found that the impact of aerodynamics depends on the size of the flying group—benefiting small groups and disturbing large ones.(“答案在于空气动力学，”纽约大学(NYU)的一组科学家在一项新发表的研究中报告说。他们还发现，空气动力学的影响取决于飞行群体的规模——对小群体有利，对大群体不利)”可知，纽约大学研究人员对鸟类的研究重点是对鸟类种群的空气动力学影响。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For smaller groups, the researchers discovered an effect by which each member gets help from the aerodynamics in holding its position relative to its neighbors. (对于较小的群体，研究人员发现了一种效应，通过这种效应，每个成员都可以从空气动力学中获得帮助，从而保持相对于邻居的位置)”可知，飞行相互作用通过帮助每个成员就位影响较小的鸟类群体，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers then used mathematical modeling to better understand the underlying forces. It indicates that the interactions between neighbors are spring-like forces. However, these “springs” act in only one direction—a lead bird can apply force on its followers, but not the other way around. “The spring-like forces move the members back and forth and then travel down the group and increase in intensity, causing later members to crash together, explains Leif Ristroph, an associate professor at New York University.(然后，研究人员使用数学模型来更好地理解潜在的力量。这表明相邻分子之间的相互作用是类似弹簧的力。然而，这些“弹簧”只在一个方向上起作用——领头的鸟可以对它的追随者施加力，而不是相反。纽约大学副教授雷夫·里斯特洛夫解释说：“这种类似弹簧的力量使成员前后移动，然后在群体中传播并增加强度，导致后来的成员撞在一起。”)”可知，作者在第4段提到“springs”是为了解释一个原理。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Our work may also have applications in transportation—like efficient speeding through air or water—and energy, such as more effectively harvesting power from wind or waves.(我们的工作也可以应用于交通运输，比如在空气或水中的高效加速，以及能源，比如更有效地从风或海浪中收集能量)”可知，根据Leif Ristroph的说法，这项研究的潜在应用是减小飞机的空气阻力。故选D。 C Are you happy? What does occur to me is that there is more to life than simply the pursuit of happiness. Imagine that scientists have invented a machine that can be hooked (钩) up to your brain so that it can give you every pleasurable experience you could ever want. These scientists have designed it so that you can’t distinguish between those pleasurable feelings you have yourself and those that come from the machine, making you blessedly unaware you are actually floating in a tank, with electrodes (电极) in your brain. So, offered the chance to be hooked up to the machine for the rest of your life, would you choose the machine or real life? The vast majority of people would choose real life, despite some discomfort, sorrow, and upset. This thought-experiment aimed to show that there is something other than pure pleasure that gives our lives meaning. As humans, we need contrast in our emotions - the dark to make the light much brighter for us. Was Michelangelo happy when he was painting the Sistine Chapel? No one really knows, but he was probably quite frustrated and angry at times as well as bored, lonely and tired. He might have neck pain for most of it from looking up to paint for hours. But he didn’t do it to feel happy. It gave him a strong sense of purpose, meaning and accomplishment. Surely this is what is at the heart of what drives us. What’s also interesting is that it’s hard to say whether we really are happy or not. A psychiatry professor said that happiness is often experienced in retrospect — we look back on a time of our lives, an event or a moment and recall it with happiness. When we say we were happy in a relationship, for example, what we often mean is that recalling that relationship gives us happiness now. 8. What is the function of the machine mentioned in paragraph 2? A. Creating desired pleasure. B. Boosting your brain power. C. Detecting the surroundings. D. Helping you identify feelings. 9. Why does the author mention Michelangelo and his creation? A. To prove the impact of creativity. B. To recognize his contribution to art. C. To inspire other artists to work harder. D. To show the importance of emotional contrast. 10. What does the underlined word “retrospect” in paragraph 5 mean? A. A review. B. A procedure. C. A condition. D. A scene. 11. What does the author intend to convey in the passage? A. Life highlights hope. B. Life goes beyond happiness. C. Life calls for rapid action. D. Life reflects your thoughts. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了生活中除了追求幸福，还有其他东西。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Imagine that scientists have invented a machine that can be hooked (钩) up to your brain so that it can give you every pleasurable experience you could ever want. These scientists have designed it so that you can’t distinguish between those pleasurable feelings you have yourself and those that come from the machine, making you blessedly unaware you are actually floating in a tank, with electrodes (电极) in your brain. (想象一下，科学家发明了一种机器，可以连接到你的大脑，这样它就可以给你任何你想要的愉快体验。这些科学家已经设计好了，这样你就无法区分你自己的愉悦感觉和那些来自机器的愉悦感觉，让你没有意识到你实际上是漂浮在一个装有电极的水箱里。)”可知，本段提到的机器的功能是创造想要的快乐。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This thought-experiment aimed to show that there is something other than pure pleasure that gives our lives meaning. As humans, we need contrast in our emotions - the dark to make the light much brighter for us. (这个思想实验旨在表明，除了纯粹的快乐之外，还有其他东西赋予我们生活的意义。作为人类，我们需要情感上的对比——黑暗让光明对我们更亮。)”和第四段中“Was Michelangelo happy when he was painting the Sistine Chapel? No one really knows, but he was probably quite frustrated and angry at times as well as bored, lonely and tired. He might have neck pain for most of it from looking up to paint for hours. But he didn’t do it to feel happy. It gave him a strong sense of purpose, meaning and accomplishment. Surely this is what is at the heart of what drives us. (米开朗基罗在画西斯廷教堂时开心吗？没有人真正知道，但他可能有时很沮丧并生气，也很无聊、孤独和疲惫。他可能因为长时间抬头画画而脖子疼。但他这么做并不是为了感到快乐。这给了他强烈的目标感、意义感和成就感。当然，这就是驱动我们前进的核心动力。)”可知，作者先说明作为人类，我们需要情感上的对比——黑暗让光明对我们更亮，然后提到米开朗基罗和他的创作，是为了显示情感对比的重要性。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“A psychiatry professor said that happiness is often experienced in (一位精神病学教授说，幸福往往是在……中体验到的)”和后句“we look back on a time of our lives, an event or a moment and recall it with happiness (我们回顾生活中的一段时间、一件事或一个时刻，并带着幸福回忆起来。)”可知幸福是从回顾中体验到的，从而推知划线部分retrospect意思是“回顾”。故选A项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Are you happy? What does occur to me is that there is more to life than simply the pursuit of happiness. (你幸福吗？我真正想到的是，生活不仅仅是追求幸福。)”可知，作者想在文章中表达的是生活不仅仅是幸福。故选B项。 D Disneyland’s opening day, July 17, 1955, was a terrible experience. Rides broke down. Restaurants ran out of food and drink and drinking fountains were in short supply... All in front of a national audience of 90 million, then the largest live broadcast in television history on a day that would be known in Disney history as Black Sunday. But Disney’s story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called “Daddy’s Day”. On Saturdays in the 1930s and 1940s, Disney would take his two daughters to ride the Griffith Park merry-go-round, which they’d enjoy while he sat on a bench dreaming of ways for families to have fun together. Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees. He thought he could do better. In 1939 he asked two animators (动画片制作者) at his movie studio to work on a plan for an amusement park. By 1952 the idea had expanded into a $1.5 million amusement park proposal that he presented to Burbank. The City Council, which feared such a project would create a carnival (嘉年华) atmosphere, rejected the proposal. Disney counted the rejection as fortunate setback. By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected. The ABC television network offered $5 million in loans and investments if Disney agreed to produce and host a one-hour weekly show called "Disneyland". The deal amounted to months of free advertising for the park and allowed Disney to introduce TV audiences, particularly kids, to the park. Disneyland opened then. The 5,000 expected guests increased to 28, 154, thanks to fake tickets. After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn’t listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success. Over sixty years later, Disneyland’s popularity continues to grow, with total overall attendance topping 700 million and showing no signs of slowing down. 12. What mainly led to Walt Disney’s plan to build his own amusement park? A. His ambition to expand beyond the movie industry. B. His animators’ suggestion on an entertainment plan. C. His wish to create a better place for family recreation. D. His daughters’ unpleasant experience in the Griffith Park. 13. By “Disney counted the rejection as a fortunate setback” in paragraph 3, the author means the rejection ________. A. brought good luck to Disney and his park B. contributed to the difficulty of opening the park C. was viewed as a financial obstacle to the design of the park D. presented Disney with a favorable opportunity to rethink his plan 14. What can be learned about Disneyland from the passage? A. Everything went on smoothly before it opened. B. It spent $5 million on advertising for its opening. C. People’s enthusiasm for it increased despite criticism. D. Only invited guests could get into it on its opening day. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Disneyland: How It All Began B. Disneyland: An Overnight Success C. Disneyland: How It Developed D. Disneyland: A Park with a Long History 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了迪士尼乐园是如何开始的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Disney disliked the amusement parks they often visited, seeing them as dirty, unimaginative places run by rude employees.(迪士尼不喜欢他们经常参观游乐园，认为它们肮脏、缺乏想象力，由粗鲁的员工经营)”和第三段第一句“He thought he could do better. (他认为他可以做得更好)”可知，他希望创造一个更好的家庭娱乐场所，这导致沃尔特·迪士尼计划建造自己的游乐园。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段划线句后“By now, his dream for a theme park had gone beyond the space available in Burbank. He searched locations throughout Southern California. A 160-acre orange garden, 22 miles south of Los Angeles, was soon selected.(到目前为止，他对主题公园的梦想已经超出了伯班克现有的空间。他搜索了整个南加州的位置。一个160英亩的在洛杉矶南部22英里的橘子园很快被选中)”可知，在被拒绝后，他对游乐园进行了更好的改造。由此可知，划线句是说这次拒绝为迪士尼提供了一个重新考虑计划的有利机会。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒第二段“After the madness of opening day, Disney and his new park were criticized in the press. The media predicted a quick and early end. But the public didn't listen. Visitors arrived in large groups, and within weeks Disneyland was a success.(在疯狂的开放日之后，迪士尼和他的新乐园受到了媒体的批评。媒体预测这场战争将很快结束。但是公众并没有听从。大批游客蜂拥而至，几周之内，迪斯尼乐园就大获成功)”可知，尽管受到批评，但人们对它的热情却与日俱增。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Disney's story actually started two decades earlier with what Walt Disney called‘Daddy's Day’.(但迪士尼的故事实际上开始于20年前沃尔特·迪士尼所谓的‘爸爸节’)”可知，文章主要是讲迪士尼乐园的开始。故选A。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Maybe you are feeling down because of the financial crisis.

At school, whenever someone tried to talk to her, her mind would race with worries: “What if I say something wrong? What if they think I'm strange? ” These thoughts always made her stumble over her words or give awkward replies. Once, after she accidentally gave a wrong answer in class, she heard some classmates giggling (咯咯地笑). Since then, she had become even more afraid to speak up. One rainy afternoon, while walking home from school, she noticed a small dog huddled (蜷缩) under a bush. The dog looked lost and scared, just like how she felt whenever she tried to join a conversation. It was shivering, wet, and alone. Lena crouched down and gently approached it. The dog wagged (摇摆) its tail slightly and came closer. Lena noticed a blue collar hidden under its wet fur. Something about its trusting eyes made her heart ache. She decided to take it home. Her parents agreed to keep it temporarily while searching for its owner. Lena named the dog “Shadow” because it followed her everywhere, just like her own shadows of self-doubt. As days passed, Lena noticed how naturally Shadow interacted with everyone. At the park, he would approach others with complete confidence and make friends effortlessly. Even when he made mistakes, like accidentally knocking over someone's water bottle, his friendly tail wag would make everyone laugh with him, not at him. Taking Shadow for walks gave Lena unexpected friendships. Emily, a girl from her class, often came to the park with her own dog. They started talking about their pets, and soon Emily became Lena’ s first real friend. Through Emily, Lena met other kids and gradually found herself part of a group that would meet at the park to play with their dogs. For the first time, she felt like she belonged. 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. Para 1: One day, a woman carrying a “Lost Dog: Lucky” poster walked into the park. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Lena and Emily began visiting Lucky every now and then. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, a woman carrying a “Lost Dog: Lucky” poster walked into the park. Lena’s heart dropped when she saw Shadow’s picture on the flyer. The woman rushed forward upon seeing the dog, and Shadow — whose real name was Lucky — immediately bounded towards her with excited barks. Through tears, Lena watched their reunion, but the owner, noticing her sadness, warmly invited her to visit anytime she wanted. It was a hard time for Lena but she knew it was time for Lucky to go home. Lena and Emily began visiting Lucky every now and then. The regular visits to the woman’s house became something Lena looked forward to each week. Watching Lucky play freely and confidently with other dogs helped Lena realize that she too could overcome her fears. At school, she gradually found her voice in class discussions, and even when she made mistakes, she remembered Lucky’s carefree spirit. The little lost dog had taught her that the best friendships often begin when we open our hearts to others, even if it means having to let go. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了原本内向、害怕交朋友的女孩Lena，一次偶然在回家路上发现一只躲在灌木丛下、看起来恐惧的小狗，她将其带回家并取名Shadow 。后来Shadow自然地与他人交往，还帮Lena结识了朋友Emily。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，一个女人拿着一张‘丢失的狗：Lucky’的海报走进了公园。”可知，第一段可描写Lucky见到主人兴奋地跑过去，Lena虽难过但也接受了，将Lucky还给了他的主人。 ②由第二段首句内容“ Lena和Emily开始时不时地拜访Lucky。”可知，第二段可描写Lucky的经历也让Lena逐渐克服恐惧，在学校更自信地表达 。 2. 续写线索：Lucky跑向女人——看到她们团聚——伤心——经常去看Lucky——克服恐惧——自信表达——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②克服：overcome/get over ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②无忧无虑的：carefree/worry-free 【点睛】【高分句型1】The woman rushed forward upon seeing the dog, and Shadow — whose real name was Lucky — immediately bounded towards her with excited barks. (由whose引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】Watching Lucky play freely and confidently with other dogs helped Lena realize that she too could overcome her fears. (由动名词作主语以及that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型3】At school, she gradually found her voice in class discussions, and even when she made mistakes, she remembered Lucky‘s carefree spirit. (由when引导的状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
