B Housework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon. A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “ women’s work”. The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day. But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “we’ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework.“At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said. 24. What does the underlined part word probably mean in Paragraph 1? A Lose weight. B. Be lazy. C. Earn money. D. Do equal housework. 25. Why will women continue to do more housework before 2050 ? A. Because men are too busy to help. B Because they would like to do so. C. Because they can do better in housework . D. Because housework will still be considered as women’s work. 26. From Paragraph 3,what do we know in the UK? A. Men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average. B. Women now are too busy with their work to do housework. C. Women now spend less time on housework than before. D. Housework is shared equally between men and women. 27. In Dr Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality? A. Cultural attitudes towards housework.. B. Policies made by the government. C. The time spent on work. D. The type of housework. C In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. This was a huge hit because these images helped bridge the gap between written and spoken communication. Little could he have known that the symbols he designed would become so popular that they’ve gone far beyond phones into apps, toys and more. So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. They’ve been used in every country. They are becoming more nuanced (微妙的) and taking on varied meanings. They can be connected to create sentences as well, much like words. However, emojis are unlikely to become a global language. Emojis don’t have the depth and width of a written language. There is no grammar either, which allows for complex sentences in languages. It is also much harder to express abstract (抽象的) ideas through images alone, such as philosophy and cultural differences. Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. While emojis may not become a global language or take the place of writing, it doesn’t make them any less important to humans. They can cross cultures and provide a way to show the beauty of common human values and feelings, as they already have. We all understand a smiley face and a heart or a broken heart. 28 Why were emojis first created? A. To make emoji keyboard a hit. B. To design popular images. C. To aid communication in texts. D. To apply them to apps and toys. 29. What is an advantage of emojis? A. They can express abstract ideas. B. They can take the place of writing. C. They can form complex sentences. D. They can be understood across cultures. 30. Why does the writer refer to law and science? A. To explain the weakness of emojis. B. To contrast with poetry and literature. C. To show professional usage of emojis. D. To stress human cultures and societies. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Emojis B. The Limits of Emojis C. Emojis: Popular Symbols? D. Emojis: A Global Language? D How often in your busy life when faced with an issue or a problem do you consider subtraction (减法)? Every day, with big and small challenges, we ignore a basic way to make things better. We are great at adding to our “to dos”, but we don’t consider “stop-doings”. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t delete the outdated ones. Do your resolutions more often start with “I should do more of…” than with “I should do less of…”? Do you add new rules in your household or workplace more often than you take rules away? In our striving to improve our lives, our work and our society, we overwhelmingly add. Leidy Klotz’s Lego bridge test, with two support towers of differing heights, found that almost everyone added a Lego brick to the shorter tower, rather than removing a brick from the longer tower. The valid subtraction solution produced a stronger outcome. Why do we ignore the option to subtract from what is already there? Why do we fail to use subtraction as a way to change things? Firstly, behavioural science suggests that our brains are wired to ignore subtraction. Initial studies show that our mental shortcuts have a preference for adding when solving problem. We are tricked by our mindset. Further, we have a tendency to think addition or subtraction; however, they can be complementary (互补的) ways to make changes. So we ignore subtraction because it is often harder to think of. Moreover, even when we do manage to think of it, subtracting can be harder to perform. In chemistry, valency (化合价) refers to an elemental force that is not necessarily visible but helps explain the elements’ behaviour. Psychological valency is the inner attractiveness or strong dislike of something. There is a negative valency around subtracting. Even the word subtraction has a negative valency. Subtraction is the act of getting to less but it is not the same as doing less. Getting to less often means doing, or at least thinking, more. In your pursuit of success and happiness I encourage you to overcome the tendency to ignore subtraction. Subtracting can be delightful! 32. What do people usually do when faced with problems in life? A. Adopt subtraction. B. Stop doing things. C. Add new rules. D. Abandon outdated ideas. 33. How did the author prove his viewpoint? A. By comparing examples. B. By conducting a survey. C. By analyzing statistics. D. By citing a typical test. 34. What causes people to ignore the option of subtraction? A. Initial fixed mindset. B. Resistance to change. C. Flexible mental desire. D. Expectation for success. 35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. State possible reasons. B. Offer valuable advice. C. Give some warnings. D. Provide useful proof. 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分) 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。 Fast eating is generally defined as the habit of eating meals at a rapid pace, often without taking time to thoroughly chew food or enjoy each bite.

Make sure you set aside enough time for your each meal. C. It can help soften harder foods during the chewing process as well. D. Research shows that eating too quickly can lead to some health problems. E. This means you shouldn’t feel big food going down your throat. F.

Mr. Smith praised her for the great work. After Mrs. Smith had pressed the money into her hand, Anna didn’t even look at the money and then walked out of the house. She’d expected ten dollars. Now she saw that it was a one-hundred-dollar bill! Anna imagined her parents’ faces when she handed them the one hundred dollars. Things hadn’t been easy for Anna’s family since Anna’s dad had lost his engineering job a year ago. There had been no new clothes or movies in the last year. They no longer went out to eat on Fridays. Anna didn’t really mind, as long as her family was together. But now she could help. One hundred dollars! That was enough to fill the car with gas or to buy a bag of groceries. Her excitement faded as she wondered if Mrs. Smith realized how much money she had given her. Could she have made a mistake? Anna felt bad as she remembered that Mrs. Smith had simply pulled the money from her purse without looking at it. Anna thought, “Maybe Mrs. Smith meant to give me the one-hundred-dollar bill. Baby-sitting three children is a lot of work.” Soon Anna remembered that the Smiths didn’t seem to have much money, either. But, she silently argued with herself. “They gave me the money. I didn’t steal it.” She found her parents in the living room.

My parents had a piano in our house that I would pretend to play as a two-year-old kid. I started taking lessons at the age of ten. I loved to play. I would practice for three hours a day as a kid. As I got older, my teachers and parents wanted me to get serious about playing. So, in high school, I took music classes and played in some concerts to make them pleased. I traveled to other cities to play. The concerts and the traveling were hard on me. I was worried about making my parents proud and being the best I could be. When I left high school and went to college, I stopped playing as much. At some point, I decided not to play the piano anymore. But I never forgot the music. Now I just play for fun. I don’t practice every day, and I don’t have to become the best player anymore. But that’s okay with me. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A When it comes to choosing the best travel gifts, there are many options.

It comes with a small pillow, a soft eye mask and a large shawl that can be used as a blanket-all made from cashmere(羊绒). (这款拉夫·劳伦旅行套装是你会一次又一次使用的旅行配件。它配有一个小枕头，一个柔软的眼罩和一个可以当毯子用的大披肩——所有这些都是由羊绒制成的。)”和Canada Goose Trillium Parka部分“For winter travel, a thick, packable coat is a necessity. The Canada Goose Trillium parka is built for extreme cold but is by no means baggy, and actually has a slimming effect. (冬季旅行，一件厚的、可打包的大衣是必须的。加拿大鹅毛皮大衣是为极端寒冷而设计的，但绝不是宽松的，实际上有显瘦的效果。)”可知，前两种旅行礼物共同点是可以让人们保持温暖。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Bellroy Tech Kit部分中“Every organized traveler needs a good tech kit. We like Bellroy’s because it has many pockets that will fit any size wire and offer a safe place to store AirPods, portable chargers, and work-from-anywhere accessories like a mouse or Wi-Fi extender. (每个有组织的旅行者都需要一个好的技术工具包。我们喜欢Bellroy’s，因为它有很多口袋，可以装下任何尺寸的电线，还提供了一个安全的地方来存放AirPods、便携式充电器和任何地方都可以工作的配件，比如鼠标或Wi-Fi扩展器。)”、“$55 At Food$55 At Food $65 At eBay(亚马逊售价59美元 在Bellroy，69美元，)可知，Bellroy Tech Kit可以用来整理电子产品，至少要花59美元。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“When it comes to choosing the best travel gifts, there are many options. No matter the occasion, or the traveler, we’ve rounded up some travel gifts from brands we love, so you can find something for you or your friends. (当谈到选择最好的旅行礼物时，有很多选择。无论在什么场合，无论旅行者是谁，我们都收集了一些我们喜欢的品牌的旅行礼物，这样你就可以为你或你的朋友找到一些礼物了。)”可知，文章主要介绍了几种旅行时最好的旅行礼物，所以文本是为旅行者写的。故选A。 B Housework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to pull their weight any time soon. A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “ women’s work”. The gap between the amount of time men and women spend on housework has narrowed slowly over the past 40 years. But it will take another four decades before true housework equality is achieved, the study concluded. The research found that in the Nordic countries, the burden of housework is shared more equally between men and women. In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day. But progress towards housework equality appears to be slowing in some countries. Dr Oriel Sullivan, a research reader from Oxford’s Department of Sociology, said, “we’ve looked at what is affecting the equality in the home, and we have found that certain tasks seem to be given according to whether they are viewed as ‘men’s work’ or ‘women’s work’.”Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework.“At school it is much easier for a girl to be a tomboy, but it is much more difficult for a boy to enjoy baking and dancing,” she said. 24. What does the underlined part word probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Lose weight. B. Be lazy. C. Earn money. D. Do equal housework. 25. Why will women continue to do more housework before 2050 ? A. Because men are too busy to help. B. Because they would like to do so. C. Because they can do better in housework . D. Because housework will still be considered as women’s work. 26. From Paragraph 3,what do we know in the UK? A. Men now spend just 90 minutes a day on housework on average. B. Women now are too busy with their work to do housework. C. Women now spend less time on housework than before. D. Housework is shared equally between men and women. 27. In Dr Sullivan’s opinion, what is to blame for the housework inequality? A. Cultural attitudes towards housework.. B. Policies made by the government. C. The time spent on work. D. The type of housework. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了男性和女性做家务的时间的不平等性，女性一直都多于男性，不过现在两种性别之间的家务劳动时间的差异越来越小。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Housework is a frequent source of disputes (争论) between lazy husbands and their hard-working wives, but women have been warned not to expect men to (家务劳动是懒惰的丈夫和勤劳的妻子之间经常发生纠纷的一个原因，但女性们被警告说，不要指望男性)”和第二段“A study from Oxford University has found that men are unlikely to be doing an equal share of housework before 2050. (牛津大学的一项研究发现，在2050年之前，男性做家务的比例不太可能与男性持平。)”可推测出“pull their weight”意思是“做同等的家务”，和D选项同义，故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Mothers, the researchers warned, will continue to shoulder the burden of childcare and housework for the next four decades, largely because housework such as cleaning and cooking is still regarded as “women’s work”. (研究人员警告说，在未来40年里，母亲们将继续承担照顾孩子和做家务的重担，这主要是因为打扫卫生和做饭等家务仍被视为“女性的工作”。)”可知主要是因为像清洗和煮饭这样的家务活依然被认为是女性的工作，故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the UK, women spend an average of four hours and forty minutes each day on housework, compared with two hours and twenty-eight minutes for men. This is an improvement from the 1960s, when British women typically spent six hours a day on housework, while men spent just 90 minutes every day. (在英国，女性平均每天花在家务上的时间为4小时40分钟，而男性则为2小时28分钟。与20世纪60年代相比，这是一个进步，当时英国女性通常每天花6个小时做家务，而男性每天只花90分钟。)”可知过去女性做家务活的时间平均是6小时，而现在平均是4小时40分钟，所以与过去相比，现在他们做家务活的时间减少了，故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr Sullivan said cultural attitudes taught at school may be responsible for the views of housework. (沙利文博士说，学校里教授的文化态度可能是造成家务观念的原因。)”可知在沙利文博士看来，家务劳动不平等的罪魁祸首是文化态度，故选A。 C In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. This was a huge hit because these images helped bridge the gap between written and spoken communication. Little could he have known that the symbols he designed would become so popular that they’ve gone far beyond phones into apps, toys and more. So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. They’ve been used in every country. They are becoming more nuanced (微妙的) and taking on varied meanings. They can be connected to create sentences as well, much like words. However, emojis are unlikely to become a global language. Emojis don’t have the depth and width of a written language. There is no grammar either, which allows for complex sentences in languages. It is also much harder to express abstract (抽象的) ideas through images alone, such as philosophy and cultural differences. Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. While emojis may not become a global language or take the place of writing, it doesn’t make them any less important to humans. They can cross cultures and provide a way to show the beauty of common human values and feelings, as they already have. We all understand a smiley face and a heart or a broken heart. 28. Why were emojis first created? A. To make emoji keyboard a hit. B. To design popular images. C. To aid communication in texts. D. To apply them to apps and toys. 29. What is an advantage of emojis? A They can express abstract ideas. B. They can take the place of writing. C. They can form complex sentences. D. They can be understood across cultures. 30. Why does the writer refer to law and science? A. To explain the weakness of emojis. B. To contrast with poetry and literature. C. To show professional usage of emojis. D. To stress human cultures and societies. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Emojis B. The Limits of Emojis C. Emojis: Popular Symbols? D. Emojis: A Global Language? 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了表情符号（emoji）的普及、局限性和重要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. (1999年，日本艺术家Shigetaka Kurita创作了他的第一套表情符号，这些表情符号被用于表情符号键盘上，以简单的方式传递信息或为文本消息提供上下文。)”可知，表情符号最初是为了辅助文本中的交流而创造的。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. (由于表情符号是图像，因此它们的意思更容易被来自不同文化的人理解。)”可知，表情符号的一个优点是它们可以跨越文化被理解。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. (表情符号能取代文字吗？这也不太可能。人类的思想是复杂的，往往是抽象的，而且高度微妙。法律、科学和技术等许多领域都需要专业的表达方式，而表情符号无法提供。表情符号也无法取代诗歌和文学，这些都是人类文化和社会的重要因素。)”可知，作者提到法律和科学是为了解释表情符号的局限性，即它们无法提供某些专业领域的表达。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? (那么，表情符号能否成为一种全球语言呢？在某种程度上，它们已经算是了，但它们真的能成为一种全人类通用的语言吗？它们能否取代文字，让我们只靠表情符号交流呢？)”可知，文章主要探讨了表情符号是否能成为一种全球语言或替代写作的问题，通过分析表情符号的优点和局限性，得出结论：虽然表情符号可能不会成为全球语言或替代写作，但它们对人类仍然很重要。因此，最适合作为文章标题的是“Emojis: A Global Language? (表情符号：一种全球语言吗？)”。故选D。 D How often in your busy life when faced with an issue or a problem do you consider subtraction (减法)? Every day, with big and small challenges, we ignore a basic way to make things better. We are great at adding to our “to dos”, but we don’t consider “stop-doings”. We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t delete the outdated ones. Do your resolutions more often start with “I should do more of…” than with “I should do less of…”? Do you add new rules in your household or workplace more often than you take rules away? In our striving to improve our lives, our work and our society, we overwhelmingly add. Leidy Klotz’s Lego bridge test, with two support towers of differing heights, found that almost everyone added a Lego brick to the shorter tower, rather than removing a brick from the longer tower. The valid subtraction solution produced a stronger outcome. Why do we ignore the option to subtract from what is already there? Why do we fail to use subtraction as a way to change things? Firstly, behavioural science suggests that our brains are wired to ignore subtraction. Initial studies show that our mental shortcuts have a preference for adding when solving problem. We are tricked by our mindset. Further, we have a tendency to think addition or subtraction; however, they can be complementary (互补的) ways to make changes. So we ignore subtraction because it is often harder to think of. Moreover, even when we do manage to think of it, subtracting can be harder to perform. In chemistry, valency (化合价) refers to an elemental force that is not necessarily visible but helps explain the elements’ behaviour. Psychological valency is the inner attractiveness or strong dislike of something. There is a negative valency around subtracting. Even the word subtraction has a negative valency. Subtraction is the act of getting to less but it is not the same as doing less. Getting to less often means doing, or at least thinking, more. In your pursuit of success and happiness I encourage you to overcome the tendency to ignore subtraction. Subtracting can be delightful! 32. What do people usually do when faced with problems in life? A. Adopt subtraction. B. Stop doing things. C. Add new rules. D. Abandon outdated ideas. 33. How did the author prove his viewpoint? A. By comparing examples. B. By conducting a survey. C By analyzing statistics. D. By citing a typical test. 34. What causes people to ignore the option of subtraction? A. Initial fixed mindset. B. Resistance to change. C. Flexible mental desire. D. Expectation for success. 35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. State possible reasons. B. Offer valuable advice. C Give some warnings. D. Provide useful proof. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了在忙碌的生活中，当你面对一个问题时，习惯性做加法，作者建议克服忽视减法的倾向，做减法让人愉快。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“We are great at adding to our “to dos”, but we don’t consider “stop-doings”. (我们很擅长增加我们的“待办事项”，但我们不考虑“停止行动”。)”可知，当人们面对生活中的问题时，通常会添加新规则。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。文章第四段讲到“Leidy Klotz’s Lego bridge test, with two support towers of differing heights, found that almost everyone added a Lego brick to the shorter tower, rather than removing a brick from the longer tower. (Leidy Klotz的乐高大桥测试有两个不同高度的支撑塔，发现几乎每个人都在较短的塔上添加了一块乐高积木，而不是从较长的塔上取下一块积木。)”可知，作者是通过引用一个典型的测试证明他的观点的。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。文章第六段讲到“Initial studies show that our mental shortcuts have a preference for adding when solving problem. (最初的研究表明，在解决问题时，我们的思维捷径更倾向于加法。)”可知，最初的固定心态导致人们忽略了减法的选项。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Getting to less often means doing, or at least thinking, more. In your pursuit of success and happiness I encourage you to overcome the tendency to ignore subtraction. Subtracting can be delightful! (减少时间意味着做得更多，或者至少想得更多。在你追求成功和幸福的过程中，我鼓励你克服忽视减法的倾向。减法可以令人愉快！)”可知，作者在最后一段是提供有价值的建议。故选B。 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分) 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。 Fast eating is generally defined as the habit of eating meals at a rapid pace, often without taking time to thoroughly chew food or enjoy each bite. You many be eating too fast if you finish a regular-sized meal in less than 20 to 30 minutes. ____36____ So, how can you slow down? ____37____ You should take more than 20 minutes to eat a meal — ideally about 30 minutes — so that you can have an opportunity for your brain to catch up with your stomach. Eating at a slower pace allows you to enjoy your meal and to feel satisfied before you eat too much. Slow down your chewing. While you’re eating your meal, make sure to give yourself enough time to chew each bite before you swallow (咽下). ____38____ You should chew each mouthful 15 to 30 times, depending on the food. Sip (小口喝) water. Take sips of water every few mouthfuls while eating — not only can this encourage much-needed pauses, but it can also help you feel fuller. ____39____ Practice mindful eating. ____40____ You can practice mindful eating by changing your attitude about not just what you eat, but how you eat. It means calming your mind, focusing your attention, and breaking down your meals into smaller parts to enjoy each bite. Mindful eating also means using all your senses — not just taste, but also sight, smell and more. A. Try to control the amount of the food you take in over time. B. Make sure you set aside enough time for your each meal. C. It can help soften harder foods during the chewing process as well. D. Research shows that eating too quickly can lead to some health problems. E. This means you shouldn’t feel big food going down your throat. F. It takes 20 to 30 minutes for your brain to send a message of food digestion. G. It can help you feel more connected with your food. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. E 39. C 40.

Mr. Smith praised her for the great work. After Mrs. Smith had pressed the money into her hand, Anna didn’t even look at the money and then walked out of the house. She’d expected ten dollars. Now she saw that it was a one-hundred-dollar bill! Anna imagined her parents’ faces when she handed them the one hundred dollars. Things hadn’t been easy for Anna’s family since Anna’s dad had lost his engineering job a year ago. There had been no new clothes or movies in the last year. They no longer went out to eat on Fridays. Anna didn’t really mind, as long as her family was together. But now she could help. One hundred dollars! That was enough to fill the car with gas or to buy a bag of groceries. Her excitement faded as she wondered if Mrs. Smith realized how much money she had given her. Could she have made a mistake? Anna felt bad as she remembered that Mrs. Smith had simply pulled the money from her purse without looking at it. Anna thought, “Maybe Mrs. Smith meant to give me the one-hundred-dollar bill. Baby-sitting three children is a lot of work.” Soon Anna remembered that the Smiths didn’t seem to have much money, either. But, she silently argued with herself. “They gave me the money. I didn’t steal it.” She found her parents in the living room. Anna took a deep breath and told them what had happened. “I wanted to give the money to you to help out the family, but I think Mrs. Smith made a mistake.” She continued. “I’m going to give it back to her.” Dad settled his big hand on her shoulder. “You just gave us the best gift, Anna.” Mom kissed her. “We’re proud of you, sweetheart.” 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。 The next morning, Anna went to Mrs. Smith’s house again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Smith opened her purse and counted out ten dollars. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next morning, Anna went to Mrs. Smith’s house again. “I think you overpaid me last night,” she said and handed the one-hundred-dollar bill to her. Mrs. Smith looked surprised. “I didn’t know where that money had gone! I knew that I had put it in my purse. Then this morning, I couldn’t find it.” She started to cry. “It’s the last payment for something my husband needed. I made a mistake of giving you the one hundred dollars, but you are such an honest and kind girl that you did not keep it.” Mrs. Smith opened her purse and counted out ten dollars. “I hope you’ll baby-sit for us again. Our children think you’re the best baby-sitter they’ve ever had, and so do I. I think they will be proud of having such a great sister to baby-sit them!” Anna said yes and went back home happily. When she gave her mother the ten dollars, the best gift for her, she felt very proud because she thought she did a great a job. 【解析】 【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述安娜在给史密斯夫妇看孩子之后史密斯太太给了她一百块钱报酬。回家之后她很矛盾，一方面在想是否是史密斯太太拿错了，一方面又想可能是她的劳动应该值这么多，并且这些钱能帮助家里改善一下生活，但她最终还是跟父母讲了这件事，说她觉得是史密斯太太给多了报酬，她要还给人家，她的父母听完之后很为她骄傲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，安娜又去了史密斯太太家。”可知，第一段可描写安娜说完来意之后史密斯太太的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“史密斯太太打开钱包，数了十美元。”可知，第二段可描写史密斯太太为安娜的诚实所感动，付了报酬并且决定继续让她帮忙看孩子。 2.续写线索：询问——事实——感动——继续雇用——开心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start to do/begin to do ②回家：go back home/return home ③需要：need/want 情绪类 ①吃惊：surprised/amazed ②对……感到骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】 [高分句型1]. I didn’t know where that money had gone!（由where引导的宾语从句作know的宾语） [高分句型2]. I made a mistake of giving you the one hundred dollars, but you are such an honest and kind girl that you did not keep it.（such…that结构的结果状语从句） [高分句型3]. When she gave her mother the ten dollars, the best gift for her, she felt very proud because she thought she did a great a job.（when引导的时间状语从句；because引导的原因状语从句；省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
