Many high school students often turned to her for guidance and as her neighbor, me included. One afternoon, feeling troubled and uncertain about my future after a disappointing exam, I decided to knock on Mrs. Thompson’s door. “I don’t know what I’m doing with my life,” I admitted, my eyes fixed on the floor. “It feels like everyone else has it all figured out, and I’m just stuck.” My voice trembled with sadness and a hint of fear. I had bombed my last math test, and it felt like that failure stayed in every corner of my mind, increasing my anxiety about college examination and what I might want to pursue. While my friends seemed to advance effortlessly through their studies, I was struggling to stay afloat. The feeling that I was falling behind only deepened my sense of hopelessness. Mrs. Thompson listened carefully, her face a picture of calm and understanding. Without saying much, she handed me a small tomato seedling (苗) in a pot. The tiny plant，with its delicate green leaves, seemed to symbolize a slight sign of hope. “Let’s plant this in the garden,” she said gently. “Water it every day and make sure it gets enough sunlight. But for a whole week, don’t focus on its progress. Just trust that it’s growing.” Every day, I faithfully watered the little seedling, as if I was putting my own hopes into it. I carefully ensured it got the right amount of sunlight, positioning it just so under the sun’s rays. With great self-control, I resisted the urge to examine it too closely. As the days went by, I felt a mix of eagerness and impatience, like a child waiting for a long-promised gift, longing to see some sign that my efforts were making a difference. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 一、续写分析 （一）故事背景与核心矛盾剖析 故事围绕因考试失利而对未来感到迷茫的 “我” 展开。“我” 向退休教师 Mrs. Thompson 倾诉困惑，她没有直接给予言语安慰，而是让 “我” 种植番茄苗，并要求一周内不关注其生长。这种独特的引导方式，既展现了 Mrs. Thompson 的智慧，也为后续情节埋下伏笔 ——“我” 的心态转变与对成长的感悟将如何通过番茄苗的生长体现。核心矛盾在于 “我” 内心的迷茫、焦虑与对未来的不确定，而番茄苗的种植成为解决这一矛盾的关键线索 。 （二）段落续写逻辑与重点 第一段：“Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. 1. 核心逻辑：一周后，Mrs. Thompson 提议查看番茄苗。此时，“我” 怀着紧张又期待的心情，与她一同观察。番茄苗或许并未出现明显的外在变化，Mrs. Thompson 借此契机，以番茄苗生长需要时间、默默扎根为喻，向 “我” 阐述成长并非一蹴而就的道理，引导 “我” 正视自己的学习与未来规划，缓解 “我” 的焦虑情绪。 2. 重点内容：细致描写 “我” 查看番茄苗时的动作、神态，如 “我蹲下身，屏住呼吸，眼睛紧紧盯着那株小小的番茄苗”；刻画 “我” 的心理活动，从期待看到明显变化到发现无显著生长时的失落；详细记录 Mrs. Thompson 的语言与表情，她温和且富有哲理的话语是此段的关键，如 “孩子，你看，它在看不见的地方努力生长，就像你的知识积累，现在的努力，未来都会开花结果” 。 第二段：One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. 1. 核心逻辑：随着时间推移，“我” 在浇水时突然发现番茄苗开出了小花。这一惊喜让 “我” 回想起种植过程中的种种经历，深刻领悟到 Mrs. Thompson 的良苦用心。“我” 将番茄苗的生长与自身学习、成长相联系，明白只要坚持努力，即使过程漫长、看不到明显进步，最终也会收获成果，从而重新找回自信，对未来充满希望。 1. 重点内容：生动描绘番茄苗开花的细节，如 “那朵小花在微风中轻轻摇曳，黄色的花瓣像阳光洒在叶片间，闪耀着生命的光芒”；细腻展现 “我” 的情感变化，从惊喜到感动，再到内心的豁然开朗；通过 “我” 的内心独白或与 Mrs. Thompson 的对话，升华主题，如 “原来，成长真的需要耐心和坚持，就像这株番茄苗，默默积蓄力量，终会绽放属于自己的美丽” 。 二、故事线梳理 1. 困境开端：“我” 因数学考试失利，对未来感到迷茫、焦虑，向 Mrs. Thompson 求助。 2. 独特引导：Mrs. Thompson 给 “我” 番茄苗，让 “我” 种植并在一周内不关注其生长，“我” 每日认真照料，内心充满期待与不安。 3. 哲理启迪：一周后查看番茄苗，其无明显变化，Mrs. Thompson 借此教导 “我” 成长的道理。 4. 惊喜领悟：番茄苗开花，“我” 从中获得启示，明白坚持努力的意义，重拾对未来的信心。 5. 情感升华：“我” 的心态彻底转变，对 Mrs. Thompson 充满感激，对自身成长有了全新认知 。 三、短语积累 1. turn to sb. for guidance（向某人寻求指导） 2. feel troubled and uncertain（感到困扰和迷茫） 3. bomb the test（考试考砸） 4. stay afloat（勉强维持；不落后） 5. fall behind（落后） 6. a picture of calm and understanding（一副平静且理解的样子） 7. symbolize a sign of hope（象征希望的迹象） 8. resist the urge to（克制…… 的冲动） 9. with great self-control（以极强的自制力） 10. a mix of eagerness and impatience（既急切又不耐烦） 11. check on the plant（查看植物） 12. make a difference（产生影响；有作用） 13. in the unseen places（在看不见的地方） 14. accumulate knowledge（积累知识） 15. catch one’s eye（吸引某人的目光） 16. in the breeze（在微风中） 17. look back on（回顾；回忆） 18. understand sb.’s intention（理解某人的意图） 19. regain confidence（重拾信心） 20. a flash of inspiration（灵光一闪；突然领悟） 四、主旨升华句 1.

My heart raced as I followed her to the garden. I squatted down beside the pot, my eyes scanning the seedling eagerly. To my disappointment, it looked almost the same as a week ago, its small leaves still fragile and unchanged. “Why hasn’t it grown much?” I asked, my voice filled with frustration. Mrs. Thompson smiled gently and crouched down beside me. “Dear, growth doesn’t always show on the surface immediately. Just like your learning, you’re absorbing knowledge, and it’s working inside you, even if you can’t see it yet. Trust the process,” she said, her words like a warm embrace. I nodded, a glimmer of understanding lighting up in my mind. One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. I gasped in surprise, my hand freezing mid - pour. The delicate flower stood out against the green leaves, like a little sun shining in the garden. Staring at it, memories of my anxious days of waiting flashed through my mind. Suddenly, I understood Mrs. Thompson’s intention. Just as the seedling needed time to grow strong roots before blooming, I too needed patience in my studies. From that day on, I stopped worrying about immediate results. Instead, I focused on consistent effort, knowing that one day, my own “flowers” would bloom in the garden of my life. 示范二 “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, I walked beside her. When we reached the pot, I stared at the tomato seedling, my eyes wide with anticipation. But there was no significant change—it was still the same small, unassuming plant. I felt a pang of disappointment. Mrs. Thompson placed a hand on my shoulder. “Look closely, my dear. The soil might be still, but beneath it, the roots are stretching, searching for nutrients. Your mind is like that too. Every problem you solve, every concept you learn, is like a root growing deeper,” she explained. I listened intently, feeling a sense of calm replacing my anxiety. One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A smile spread across my face as I realized the beauty of the slow - growing process. I remembered how impatient I’d been, how I’d doubted the seedling’s progress. Now, this little flower was proof that waiting and believing paid off. It made me think of my studies. Maybe I wasn’t falling behind after all. Maybe I just needed to trust my own growth, just like I’d trusted the seedling. From then on, I faced my challenges with newfound confidence, thanks to the lesson of the tomato plant. 示范三 “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. My hands trembled slightly as I approached the pot. I’d been waiting for this moment, hoping to see a tall, thriving plant. But when I looked, it was barely different. I felt a lump form in my throat. “It’s not growing,” I said dejectedly. Mrs. Thompson shook her head. “Growth isn’t always measured by height or size. Some of the most important growth happens where we can’t see it. Think of it as building a foundation. The stronger the foundation, the more beautiful the flower will be,” she said, her voice soft but firm. I thought about her words, and for the first time, I began to see my struggles in a new light. One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. It was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. I stood there, stunned, as tears welled up in my eyes. This little flower represented so much—my patience, my perseverance, and Mrs. Thompson’s wisdom. It made me understand that in life, we can’t rush things. We have to let them unfold at their own pace. Just like the tomato seedling, I would grow and bloom in my own time, and I was ready to embrace the journey with open arms. 示范四 “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. I followed her with bated breath, hoping for a miracle. When we got to the garden, I examined the seedling carefully. There were no new leaves, no signs of growth. I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. “Don’t be disheartened,” Mrs. Thompson said, reading my expression. “Nature has its own schedule. The seedling is doing exactly what it needs to do, deep in the soil. You’re like that too. Your efforts are shaping you, even when you don’t realize it.” Her words gave me a glimmer of hope. One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. I let out a joyful cry. The flower was a symbol of hope and a reminder of the power of patience. I thought about all the times I’d wanted to give up on my studies, all the moments of self - doubt. But now, looking at this little flower, I knew that every drop of effort counted. Mrs. Thompson had taught me that success wasn’t about instant results but about the journey of growth. From that moment on, I faced my future with courage, knowing that as long as I kept working hard, my dreams would one day come true. 六．参考答案 “Let’s go to check on the plant,” Mrs. Thompson said to me a week later. My palms grew damp with anticipation as we walked to the garden. When I knelt beside the pot, my heart sank—the seedling looked nearly identical to a week ago, its slender stem still bent slightly, leaves no more vibrant. “It hasn’t changed,” I murmured, disappointment thick in my voice. Mrs. Thompson crouched down, her eyes warm. “Look closer, dear. The soil around its base is cracked—signs of roots pushing deeper. Growth happens beneath the surface first, just like the knowledge you’re absorbing every day.” Her words, like gentle sunlight, began to dissolve my frustration. I nodded slowly, realizing that progress isn’t always visible at first glance. One day, as I bent down to water it, a tiny yellow flower caught my eye. I gasped, the watering can freezing mid-air. The delicate blossom peeked out from the leaves, its petals trembling in the breeze like a miniature sun. Staring at it, memories of my daily routine flashed through my mind—the early mornings adjusting its position for sunlight, the evenings whispering words of encouragement. Suddenly, Mrs. Thompson’s wisdom clicked. Just as the seedling needed patience to bloom, my academic struggles were part of a deeper growth process. From that day on, instead of fearing failure, I embraced challenges, knowing that every effort, no matter how small, was nurturing my own future success. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
