The first time my daughter Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. Seeing photos of where I was going, she cried and asked why I was going to leave her behind. I tried to explain my work as a travel writer. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
A few days later, I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we’d compromise(妥协), she’d come with me.
One year later, an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey, And as scary as it seemed to take a preschooler on a train, the trip sounded too good to pass up.
Dressed in her most beautiful train-riding clothes, four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC. Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us. Unable to spell more than a few words, she drew their answers in crayon(蜡笔)。She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm(节奏) on the road together.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(天然井). But it was on the flight home, when my little kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t seat us together, that I realized how much travel was shaping her.
Research says that travel can expand a kid’s world, helping them become more adaptable while developing their creativity and imagination. Seeing those changes in Maia, I am really grateful for that compromise I made with her,

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
28. What do we know about the author?
A. He felt honored to study English literature.
B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.
C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.
D. His university education focused on theoretical knowledge.
29. How was the writer’s application process?
A. Awkward. B. Complex. C. Entertaining. D. Effortless.
30. What did the writer do in the village?
A. Working as a teacher. B. Helping villagers build hospitals.
C. Raising money for his students. D. Inviting locals to enter his Project.
31. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education
B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja
C. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience
D. Lighthouse Project—A Volunteer Organization for New Graduates
D
Not all fat is created equal, according to several new studies. We all know there’s good cholesterol (胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too. Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”.
Brown fat, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns, has the ability to burn lots of calories, which serves the purpose of keeping them warm. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. We lose most of our brown fat as we age. By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with; the fat we gain over time is almost all white fat.
Researchers now believe that some people maintain brown fat deposits into adulthood. Brown fat — the “good” kind — is metabolically (新陈代谢地) efficient and actually burns excess (过量的) energy to generate heat. But white fat — considered the “bad” kind — is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems.
Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could activate (激活) brown fat to help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. You build fat from the foods you eat. As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing iron supplements or food items rich in iron can keep your fat cells healthy. Nutrition is vital for your health, especially if you want to increase brown fat production.
One of the major causes of shortened life spans and the growth in chronic illnesses like osteoarthritis, diabetes, and many cancers is the increasing level of white fat. Though converting existing white fat into brown fat is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as they are in infancy: The goal should be to maintain brown fat forever rather than having to recreate it.
32. Who has more brown fat according to the text?
A. A teenage girl. B. A college student.
C. A new-born baby. D. An elderly professor.
33. How is brown fat different from white fat?
A. It can help prevent health problems.
B. It burns calories with higher efficiency.
C. It can be found in the neck and shoulders.
D. It stores excess energy in the human body.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Ways of increasing the amount of brown fat.
B The significance of keeping fat cells healthy.
C. The key role of nutrition in brown fat production.
D. Effects of the temperature on activating brown fat.
35. What do scientists expect to figure out?
A. How to recreate more brown fat.
B. How to turn white fat into brown fat.
C. How to evaluate the risks of white fat.
D. How to maintain the early level of brown fat.

Alisa who had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children lost her husband in a car accident, so she had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.
One day, after dropping her children at school, Alisa spotted a construction site. “I think I can work here,” she thought and approached the manager.
“Hi, are you hiring?” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Alisa from head to toe. “Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract to work a 12-hour shift.
However, Alisa kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.
Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Alisa’s son, David, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students will wear blindfolds and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, David!” Alisa said excitedly, “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” David replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Alisa wasn’t prepared to hear.
“Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” David explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Alisa felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense.

The first time my daughter, Maia, realized I was leaving on a trip without her, she was alarmed. Seeing photos of where I was going, she cried and asked why I was going to leave her behind. I tried to explain my work as a travel writer. But as my husband, Evan, pulled her off my leg so I could leave, I wondered if my solo trips would be worth the effort of going without her.
A few days later, I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip. She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we’d compromise(妥协), she’d come with me.
One year later an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey, And as scary as it seemed to take a preschooler on a train, the trip sounded too good to pass up.
Dressed in her most beautiful train-riding clothes, four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC. Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant, she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us. Unable to spell more than a few words, she drew their answers in crayon(蜡笔)。She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm(节奏) on the road together.
When she was six, we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico. I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(天然井). But it was on the flight home, when my little kid said it was okay that the airline didn’t seat us together, that I realized how much travel was shaping her.
Research says that travel can expand a kid’s world, helping them become more adaptable while developing their creativity and imagination. Seeing those changes in Maia, I am really grateful for that compromise I made with her,

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
28. What do we know about the author?
A. He felt honored to study English literature.
B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.
C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.
D. His university education focused on theoretical knowledge.
29. How was the writer’s application process?
A. Awkward. B. Complex. C. Entertaining. D. Effortless.
30. What did the writer do in the village?
A. Working as a teacher. B. Helping villagers build hospitals.
C. Raising money for his students. D. Inviting locals to enter his Project.
31. Which can be the best title of the text?
A. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education
B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja
C. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience
D. Lighthouse Project—A Volunteer Organization for New Graduates
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. (我的英国文学荣誉学位并没有真正为我做任何实际工作做好准备。)”可知,作者的大学教育注重的是理论知识。故选D。

After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. (然而,最终,我赢得了家人的支持,我递交了申请所需的所有文件。经过无数的面试和陈述,我成功地从众多候选人中脱颖而出,独自通过了考试。)”可推知,作者申请的过程是复杂的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. (在接下来的一年左右的时间里,我在同一所学校教书。但有时我觉得我从学生身上学到的比他们从我身上学到的还要多。)”可知,作者在山村里当教师。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段中“I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. (作为灯塔计划的志愿者,我通过尽可能多地阅读以前志愿者的经历开始了我的旅程。)”和最后一段中“The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. (灯塔计划永远地改变了我的生活。)”可知,本文讲述的是作者参加的灯塔项目永远改变了他的人生。因此,C项“改变人生的志愿经历”契合文章大意,最适合作为标题。故选C。

Not all fat is created equal, according to several new studies. We all know there’s good cholesterol (胆固醇) and bad cholesterol. It turns out there’s good and bad fat, too. Good fat is medically known as “brown fat”.
Brown fat, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns, has the ability to burn lots of calories, which serves the purpose of keeping them warm. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. We lose most of our brown fat as we age. By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with; the fat we gain over time is almost all white fat.
Researchers now believe that some people maintain brown fat deposits into adulthood. Brown fat — the “good” kind — is metabolically (新陈代谢地) efficient and actually burns excess (过量的) energy to generate heat. But white fat — considered the “bad” kind — is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use. It is widely distributed throughout the body. And it doesn’t use much energy, is hard to burn off, accumulates, and causes other health problems.
Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could activate (激活) brown fat to help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. You build fat from the foods you eat. As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing iron supplements or food items rich in iron can keep your fat cells healthy. Nutrition is vital for your health, especially if you want to increase brown fat production.
One of the major causes of shortened life spans and the growth in chronic illnesses like osteoarthritis, diabetes, and many cancers is the increasing level of white fat. Though converting existing white fat into brown fat is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as they are in infancy: The goal should be to maintain brown fat forever rather than having to recreate it.
32. Who has more brown fat according to the text?
A. A teenage girl. B. A college student.
C. A new-born baby. D. An elderly professor.
33. How is brown fat different from white fat?
A. It can help prevent health problems.
B. It burns calories with higher efficiency.
C. It can be found in the neck and shoulders.
D. It stores excess energy in the human body.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Ways of increasing the amount of brown fat.
B. The significance of keeping fat cells healthy.
C. The key role of nutrition in brown fat production.
D. Effects of the temperature on activating brown fat.
35. What do scientists expect to figure out?
A. How to recreate more brown fat.
B. How to turn white fat into brown fat.
C. How to evaluate the risks of white fat.
D. How to maintain the early level of brown fat.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了棕色脂肪和白色脂肪的区别及作用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ Brown fat, typically found in the neck and shoulders of newborns, has the ability to burn lots of calories, which serves the purpose of keeping them warm. It makes up about 5 percent of an infant’s total body mass. We lose most of our brown fat as we age. By age six, we have less than 5 percent of the brown fat we were born with; the fat we gain over time is almost all white fat.(棕色脂肪,通常存在于新生儿的颈部和肩部,能够燃烧大量的卡路里,从而起到保暖的作用。它约占婴儿总体重的5%。随着年龄的增长,我们会失去大部分棕色脂肪。到六岁时,我们的棕色脂肪还不到出生时的5%;随着时间的推移,我们增加的脂肪几乎都是白色脂肪。)”可知,新生儿有更多的棕色脂肪。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Brown fat — the “good” kind — is metabolically (新陈代谢地) efficient and actually burns excess (过量的) energy to generate heat. But white fat — considered the “bad” kind — is a way for your body to store excess energy that accumulates when you consume more calories than you use.(棕色脂肪——即“好”脂肪——新陈代谢效率高,实际上会燃烧多余的能量来产生热量。而白色脂肪——被视为“坏”脂肪——是身体储存多余能量的一种方式,这些多余能量会在你摄入的卡路里超过消耗的卡路里时积累起来) ”可知,棕色脂肪和白色脂肪的不同在于棕色脂肪燃烧卡路里的效率更高。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Some studies suggest that taking a cold shower or an ice bath could activate (激活) brown fat to help your body burn more calories. Researchers have also found methods that may help people gain brown fat without the need for cold. You build fat from the foods you eat. As brown fat is rich in iron, choosing iron supplements or food items rich in iron can keep your fat cells healthy. (一些研究表明,洗个冷水澡或泡个冰浴可以激活棕色脂肪,帮助身体燃烧更多卡路里。研究人员还发现了一些方法,可以帮助人们在不需要寒冷刺激的情况下增加棕色脂肪。脂肪是由你所吃的食物转化而来的。由于棕色脂肪富含铁元素,选择铁补充剂或富含铁的食物可以保持脂肪细胞的健康)”可知,第四段主要讲了一些增加棕色脂肪的方法,比如洗冷水澡或冰水澡、选择含铁的食物或补充剂等。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Though converting existing white fat into brown fat is helpful to increase brown fat, some scientists think they will learn how to keep stores of brown fat as large and active throughout adulthood as they are in infancy: The goal should be to maintain brown fat forever rather than having to recreate it.(尽管将现有的白色脂肪转化为棕色脂肪有助于增加棕色脂肪的含量,但一些科学家认为,他们将学会如何在成年期保持棕色脂肪的储存量与婴儿期一样大且活跃:目标应该是永远保持棕色脂肪,而不是必须重新创造它)”可知,科学家们希望弄清楚如何保持早期的棕色脂肪水平。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了无家可归的动物面临的困境以及人们可以帮助它们的几种方式,包括收养宠物、做志愿者和为动物捐款等。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Homeless animals are usually left without a permanent home when their owners give them up or they're found on the street. With millions of animals living in shelters every year, there aren't enough people to take them in. (当主人放弃它们或者它们被发现在街上时,无家可归的动物通常没有一个永久的家。每年有数以百万计的动物生活在收容所里,却没有足够的人收养它们)”可知,很多无家可归的动物因为没人收养而生活在收容所里,这就导致很多动物得不到它们需要的关爱。与D项“So, many animals don't get the love and care that they need (所以,很多动物得不到它们需要的爱和关怀)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“When you adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group, you save two lives.(当你从动物收容所或救援组织领养一只动物时,你拯救了两条生命)”以及下文“but also you've made room at the shelter for another homeless cat or dog. (而且你还为收容所里的另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间)”可知,上文说的是当你从动物收容所或救援组织领养一只动物时,你拯救了两条生命,下文说的是你还为收容所里的另一只无家可归的猫或狗腾出了空间,可推理出空白处说的是有关你从动物收容所或救援组织领养动物给你带来的感受,而且此处运用了“not only...but also...”结构,与E项“Not only can you feel good about saving the pet you adopted (你不仅会因为拯救了你收养的宠物而感觉良好)”构成“not only...but also...”结构,符合语境,故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Whether you like rolling up your sleeves and cleaning cages, socializing with a few of your kitten friends or working with numbers, your skills and interests can make a huge impact on the lives of homeless pets in your community. (无论你是喜欢卷起袖子打扫笼子,和你的一些小猫朋友交往,还是处理数字,你的技能和兴趣都能对你所在社区无家可归的宠物的生活产生巨大影响)”可知,无论你是喜欢卷起袖子打扫笼子,和你的一些小猫朋友交往,还是处理数字,这些都能对你所在社区无家可归的宠物的生活产生巨大影响,可推理出这里主要讲的是人们可以通过做志愿者来帮助无家可归的动物,与A项“Volunteer with animals (做与动物相关的志愿者)”表达的意思一致,故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Shelters and rescue groups rely on foster(收养的)families to take in dogs and cats on a short-term basis. (收容所和救援组织依靠寄养家庭短期收留猫和狗)”可知,此处提到了寄养家庭收留动物,与C项“Fostering is a fun way to get lots of helpful hands-on time (寄养是一种有趣的方式,可以获得很多有用的实际操作时间)”中“Fostering”相呼应,且C项进一步说明了寄养的好处,符合语境,故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据本段标题“Donate to the animals (为动物捐款)”以及下文“Consider paying it forward by sponsoring(发起)a pet's adoption or donating food, cleaning supplies, blankets or towels to your local rescue. You can also help animals right from your computer or phone by donating items from the Best Friends Amazon wish list. (考虑通过赞助宠物收养或向当地的救援组织捐赠食物、清洁用品、毯子或毛巾来传递爱心。你也可以通过电脑或手机,从“最好的朋友”亚马逊愿望清单中捐赠物品来帮助动物)”可知,这一段主要讲的是为动物捐款的相关内容,与G项“Whenever you give something to a shelter or a rescue group in your community, you're helping to save lives (每当你向社区里的收容所或救援组织捐赠东西时,你就是在帮助拯救生命)”表达的意思一致,且G项强调了捐赠的意义,符合这一段的主题,故选G项。

Nowadays, an increasing number of teenagers are suffering from poor eyesight. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, the widespread use of electronic products, such as smartphones and tablets, has made it easier for us to spend long hours staring at screens.

Alisa who had stayed at home all her life to look after her three children lost her husband in a car accident, so she had to step out and earn money to make ends meet. With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero.
One day, after dropping her children at school, Alisa spotted a construction site. “I think I can work here,” she thought and approached the manager.
“Hi, are you hiring?” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Alisa from head to toe. “Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract to work a 12-hour shift.
However, Alisa kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site.
Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Alisa’s son, David, told her about an upcoming contest in school that required mothers to participate. In the competition, students will wear blindfolds and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, David!” Alisa said excitedly, “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” David replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Alisa wasn’t prepared to hear.
“Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” David explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Alisa felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense.

【答案】参考范文
Para.1 A few weeks later, David was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. His gaze was fixed on a familiar figure laboring in the distance. It was his mother, Alisa, working at the construction site he had never known about. (解释什么吸引了他的注意力) She was lifting heavy bricks onto her shoulder, with her hands hard and rough from the constant labor. (引用阅读文本中描述妈妈工地搬砖的动作,形成照应。手的描述与阅读文本信息也形成照应) David stood there, shocked. (神态描写) He had never imagined his mother working in such conditions. The sight of her hardworking figure made him feel a mix of shame, regret, and even admiration. (心理描写) He realized how foolish he had been, thinking only of his own embarrassment. (反思,即成长。为下文首句做铺垫)
Para.2 On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. He understood that his mother’s hands, though hard and rough, were an evidence to her sacrifice and love. (反思,理解妈妈) When his mother reaching home, he walked straight to Alisa and hugged her tightly. (构建动作链) “Tears in his eyes,” he said, “I was wrong to be ashamed of you. You’re the bravest and strongest person I know.” (道歉 神态+语言) Alisa, surprised at first, smiled warmly and hugged him back. “It’s okay, David,” she said. “I’m proud of you for understanding.” (使用动作链描写妈妈听到道歉后的反应,动作+神态+语言) That evening, David shared his mother’s story with his siblings, and they decided to support Alisa in whatever she did, for she was their hero and their pride. (从情感升华,David 的成长和成熟)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Alisa,一位一直在家照顾三个孩子的母亲,因丈夫车祸去世而不得不外出工作。她无经验也无专业学历,找工作困难。某日,她在一建筑工地找到工作,但怕孩子们知道后尴尬而保密。后来,儿子告诉她学校有需母亲参与的活动,却因她的双手粗糙而拒绝与她一同参加,这让Alisa倍感难过。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后,大卫走在回家的路上,一件意想不到的事情引起了他的注意。”可知,第一段可描写大卫发现妈妈的秘密。看到妈妈辛勤工作的身影,大卫感到羞愧和懊悔,也感到钦佩。
②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上,他一直在想该如何向母亲道歉。”可知,第二段可描写大卫理解了妈妈的牺牲和爱,主动给妈妈道歉,并勇敢和兄弟姐妹们分享了妈妈的故事。
2.续写线索:知道了妈妈双手粗糙的原因——感到羞愧和懊悔——理解了妈妈的牺牲和爱——主动给妈妈道歉——勇敢分享妈妈的故事
3.词汇激活
行为类
①引起他的注意:catch his attention/draw his attention
②拥抱:hug/embrace
③决定:decide/make up one’s mind
情绪类
①震惊的:shocked/startled
②懊悔:regret/remorse
【点睛】[高分句型1] It was his mother, Alisa, working at the construction site he had never known about.(运用了省略关系代词that的限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] He understood that his mother’s hands, though hard and rough, were an evidence to her sacrifice and love.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句)
