A
Four Places Named After Scientists in Antarctica
There are many scientific breakthroughs made by women in Antarctic. Here are four landmarks in Antarctica and the female pioneers they’re named for.
Jones Terrace (梯田)
The ice-free terrace in eastern Antarctica’s Victoria Land bears Jones’ name. In 1969, geochemist Lois M. Jones led the first all-female research team from the U.S. to work in Antarctica. Jones and her team studied chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, an ice-free area of Antarctica. Through chemical analyses of rocks they had collected, Jones and her team discovered many geochemical characteristics of the valley’s ice-covered lakes.
Mount Fiennes
8,202-foot-high Mount Fiennes, located on Antarctica’s largest island — Alexander Island — is named for Ginny Fiennes. She established and maintained 80-foot-tall radio towers in the Antarctic. In 1985, Fiennes became the first female who was invited to join the Antarctic Club, a British supper club open to individuals who have spent extended time in the Antarctic region.
Francis Peak
The 3,727-foot-tall peak on Antarctica’s Adelaide Island is named after Dame Jane Francis, who is the first female director of the British Antarctic Survey, the national polar research institute of the UK. Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
1. Which place is named after a builder of radio towers in the Antarctic?
A. Jones Terrace. B. Mount Fiennes.
C. Francis Peak. D. Peden Cliffs.
2. Who proved the previous higher temperatures of the Antarctic?
A. Lois M. Jones. B. Ginny Fiennes.
C. Dame Jane Francis. D. Irene Peden.
3. What is special about Irene Peden?
A. She could judge the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.
B. She discovered a lot of ice-covered lakes in the Antarctic.
C. She was the first female American to explore the Antarctic.
D. She correctly measured the spreading speed of radio waves.
B
A handwritten obituary (讣告) for a hippo by a zookeeper in East China’s Nanjing has spread quickly as it detailed the hippo’s life moving both zoo visitors and netizens alike.
“On January 18, hippo Fei Fei passed away due to a lung infection (感染) caused by asthma, leaving his wife Jin Jin at the exhibition zone,” read the notice handwritten by an animal keeper in Hongshan Forest Zoo. According to the obituary, Fei Fei was born in 1997 and had lived in the zoo since it opened in 1998.
Fei Fei, who never got sick, was found to dive shorter and was diagnosed with asthma in March 2021. His condition kept worsening despite regular medical care, the notice said. “The skin on his legs began to rot...Fearing infection, I changed his water daily and carefully applied medicine to each wound. However, he still left, taking away my three years of hopes,” read the notice.
“We will not forget the great contributions Fei Fei made to the hippo population and we value the 27 years he spent with us,” read the obituary. The zoo has started to design and will soon build a new exhibition zone with a large hippo house, a powerful filtration system, a simulated African ecological environment, alongside other African animals for companionship, the obituary added.
It is customary for the zoo to write obituaries for certain animals that pass away. The words in the obituary are simple and sincere, reflecting the deep relationship between the keeper and the animal, one netizen wrote. In January 2023, the zoo penned an obituary for sun bear Lao Ma, thinking back to the 33-year-old animal’s moments at the zoo.
4. Why has the handwritten obituary for Fei Fei spread quickly?
A. It’s written by a famous person.
B. It announced the opening of a new zone.
C. It detailed the hippo’s life and moved people.
D. It’s the first obituary for an animal in the zoo.
5. How did the keeper feel about Fei Fei’s death?
A. He was upset.
B. He was relieved.
C. He was annoyed.
D. He was indifferent.
6. Why does the zoo plan to build a new exhibition zone?
A. To attract more visitors.
B. To make up for the loss of Fei Fei.
C. To show off the zoo’s financial strength.
D. To offer the animals a better living environment.
7. What does the author want to convey through this text?
A. The importance of protecting hippos.
B. The process of an animal’s life in the zoo.
C. The good management of Hongshan Forest Zoo.
D. The close connection between humans and zoo animals.
C
Destructive earthquakes rock the world from time to time. Nothing can be done to prevent them from striking. The best way to ease these future disasters is to draw maps of the underworld, recording every fault (断层) and tracking its behavior.
To create those maps, researchers employ machines that sense and record all sorts of vibrations (震动). This work, historically, has sometimes been inaccurate. When Zachary Ross, an assistant geophysics professor, started in the field in the early 2010s, he tried to find a new way forward. “Even the best computer programs at the time missed certain earthquakes. There had to be a better way,” he says. He made the study in California which is so geologically active and there were more data than human experts alone could reasonably handle.
In 2017 Ross started to focus on tiny quakes. They might be harmless, but that doesn’t make them unimportant — their waves can explain each fault they pass through, including the more precarious, stressloaded ones that may one day crack and set off a disaster. Ross and his colleagues set an algorithm (算法) upon the seismic (地震的) record. The algorithm quickly identified nearly two million previously hidden tiny quakes.
However, his program could only find earthquakes in the seismic record that it was taught to recognize. So Ross turned to more advanced tools: selflearning programs, software that could make predictions about the future — in this case, what a greatly wider variety of earthquakes might sound like. Very quickly, these programs found all sorts of unfamiliar-sounding quakes — later confirmed by human scientists.
These AI learning programs can also be used to improve the speed and accuracy (精确度) of earthquake earlywarning systems — largely autonomous (自主的) programs that forecast threats to life and property in the moments after an earthquake starts and send people emergency text messages before seismic waves reach them. But for all their promise, AI programs won’t replace human scientists. “They’re just tools,” Ross says — ones that in time, he believes, will become as ordinary as seismometers (地震仪) themselves.
8. What inspired Ross to carry out the new study?
A. The massive amounts of data available.
B. The geographical location of California.
C. The limitation of the traditional method.
D. The breakdown of the computer programs.
9. What does the underlined word “precarious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Unusual. B. Unstable.
C. Inaccessible. D. Informal.
10. What is the advantage of selflearning programs over Ross’ algorithm?
A. They forecast new earthquakes.
B. They help restore hidden faults.
C. They rely on previous information.
D. They use the best computer programs.
11. What do we know about the AI programs from the last paragraph?
A. They will replace seismometers.
B. They serve as an efficiency booster.
C. They reduce the threats to life and property.
D. They prevented seismic waves from reaching people.
D
Taking advantage of people’s appetite for trendy clothes, fast fashion has grown rapidly in recent years. It refers to cheaply made clothing that allows consumers to buy a stylish outfit at an affordable price. Today, the fast fashion industry is valued at $150.82 billion (about 1,094 billion yuan) — up 10.74 percent from 2024 — and is expected to reach $291.1 billion by 2032, according to UniformMarket.
However, this growth comes with serious environmental consequences, one of which is carbon emissions. To keep costs low, the fast fashion industry uses synthetic (合成的) materials like polyester (聚酯纤维) in the largescale production of clothing. Polyester can create two to three times more carbon emissions than cotton, leading to serious air pollution. What’s worse, the rapid changes in fashion trends have created a “throwaway” culture that results in huge amounts of textile waste. When synthetic materials end up in landfills, they stay there for hundreds of years, causing soil damage and polluting groundwater.
In addition to using cheap but harmful materials, fast fashion also reduces costs by taking advantage of its workers. According to The George Washington University, the fast fashion industry employs around 75 million factory workers worldwide, but less than 2 percent earn a living wage. These factors together make fast fashion unsustainable, as it leads to both environmental harm and social injustice.
The need to solve these problems has made sustainable fashion more important than ever. First introduced in the 1990s, this idea refers to clothing that is made ethically (符合道德规范地) and is environmentally friendly. It looks at the whole life of the product, including how it is made, used and thrown away.
“There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness,” said Indian social activist Mahatma Gandhi. His words remind us of the hidden costs behind the fast fashion industry. True beauty lies in clothing that is made ethically, without harming people or the planet.
12. What may the figures used in paragraph 1 highlight?
A. The popularity of fashionable clothes. B. The economic benefits of fast fashion.
C. The environmental influence of fast fashion. D. The booming development of fast fashion industry.
13. Which of the following makes fast fashion unsustainable?
A. The diverse dressing styles of people. B. The destruction of soil caused by wastes.
C. The unreasonable use of cotton materials. D. The high costs of employing workers worldwide.
14. What can we know about sustainable fashion?
A. It was not proposed until a decade ago.
B. It aims to promote the economic development.
C. It emphasizes the complete process of clothes production.
D. It mainly focuses on the environmental aspect of clothing industry.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Cheap Clothes, High Risks B. Online Shopping, Fashion Trends
C. Recycling Solves Fashion Waste Crisis D. Fast Fashion Fuels Global Economic Growth

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;

There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Her collection of fossils on Seymour Island helped conclude in a 2021 paper that Antarctica’s abundant plant fossils indicate the continent once had a much warmer climate than it currently does.
Peden Cliffs
Peden Cliffs near Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land are proof of the labor of Irene Peden. She was the first American female scientist to both live and work in the Antarctic, where she used radio waves to study ice sheets. Peden and her team determined how very low frequency radio waves spread over long polar distances by measuring pathways in the ice. They also used varying radio wave frequencies to measure the thickness of Antarctica’s ice sheets.

A handwritten obituary (讣告) for a hippo by a zookeeper in East China’s Nanjing has spread quickly as it detailed the hippo’s life, moving both zoo visitors and netizens alike.
“On January 18, hippo Fei Fei passed away due to a lung infection (感染) caused by asthma, leaving his wife Jin Jin at the exhibition zone,” read the notice handwritten by an animal keeper in Hongshan Forest Zoo. According to the obituary, Fei Fei was born in 1997 and had lived in the zoo since it opened in 1998.
Fei Fei, who never got sick, was found to dive shorter and was diagnosed with asthma in March 2021. His condition kept worsening despite regular medical care, the notice said. “The skin on his legs began to rot...Fearing infection, I changed his water daily and carefully applied medicine to each wound. However, he still left, taking away my three years of hopes,” read the notice.
“We will not forget the great contributions Fei Fei made to the hippo population and we value the 27 years he spent with us,” read the obituary. The zoo has started to design and will soon build a new exhibition zone with a large hippo house, a powerful filtration system, a simulated African ecological environment, alongside other African animals for companionship, the obituary added.
It is customary for the zoo to write obituaries for certain animals that pass away. The words in the obituary are simple and sincere, reflecting the deep relationship between the keeper and the animal, one netizen wrote. In January 2023, the zoo penned an obituary for sun bear Lao Ma, thinking back to the 33-year-old animal’s moments at the zoo.
4. Why has the handwritten obituary for Fei Fei spread quickly?
A. It’s written by a famous person.

Destructive earthquakes rock the world from time to time. Nothing can be done to prevent them from striking. The best way to ease these future disasters is to draw maps of the underworld, recording every fault (断层) and tracking its behavior.
To create those maps, researchers employ machines that sense and record all sorts of vibrations (震动). This work, historically, has sometimes been inaccurate. When Zachary Ross, an assistant geophysics professor, started in the field in the early 2010s, he tried to find a new way forward. “Even the best computer programs at the time missed certain earthquakes. There had to be a better way,” he says. He made the study in California which is so geologically active and there were more data than human experts alone could reasonably handle.
In 2017 Ross started to focus on tiny quakes. They might be harmless, but that doesn’t make them unimportant — their waves can explain each fault they pass through, including the more precarious, stressloaded ones that may one day crack and set off a disaster. Ross and his colleagues set an algorithm (算法) upon the seismic (地震的) record. The algorithm quickly identified nearly two million previously hidden tiny quakes.
However, his program could only find earthquakes in the seismic record that it was taught to recognize. So Ross turned to more advanced tools: selflearning programs, software that could make predictions about the future — in this case, what a greatly wider variety of earthquakes might sound like. Very quickly, these programs found all sorts of unfamiliar-sounding quakes — later confirmed by human scientists.
These AI learning programs can also be used to improve the speed and accuracy (精确度) of earthquake earlywarning systems — largely autonomous (自主的) programs that forecast threats to life and property in the moments after an earthquake starts and send people emergency text messages before seismic waves reach them. But for all their promise, AI programs won’t replace human scientists. “They’re just tools,” Ross says — ones that in time, he believes, will become as ordinary as seismometers (地震仪) themselves.
8. What inspired Ross to carry out the new study?
A. The massive amounts of data available.
B. The geographical location of California.
C. The limitation of the traditional method.
D. The breakdown of the computer programs.
9. What does the underlined word “precarious” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Unusual. B. Unstable.
C. Inaccessible. D. Informal.
10. What is the advantage of selflearning programs over Ross’ algorithm?
A. They forecast new earthquakes.
B. They help restore hidden faults.
C. They rely on previous information.
D. They use the best computer programs.
11. What do we know about the AI programs from the last paragraph?
A. They will replace seismometers.
B. They serve as an efficiency booster.
C. They reduce the threats to life and property.
D. They prevented seismic waves from reaching people.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍地震研究学者扎卡里·罗斯借助AI算法和自学习程序提升地震监测精度的探索。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When Zachary Ross, an assistant geophysics professor, started in the field in the early 2010s, he tried to find a new way forward. “Even the best computer programs at the time missed certain earthquakes. There had to be a better way,” he says. (地球物理学助理教授扎卡里·罗斯在2010年代初进入该领域时,试图找到一条新的研究路径。他说:“即使是当时最好的计算机程序也会漏掉某些地震。一定有更好的方法。”)”可知,传统方法的局限性(计算机程序漏检地震)促使罗斯开展新研究。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“They might be harmless, but that doesn’t make them unimportant — their waves can explain each fault they pass through, including the more precarious, stressloaded ones that may one day crack and set off a disaster (它们可能是无害的,但这并不意味着它们不重要——它们的波浪可以解释它们所经历的每一个断层,包括那些更precarious、压力更大的断层,这些断层有朝一日可能会破裂并引发灾难)”可知,这些断层有一天可能会破裂并引发灾难,说明它们是不稳定的,所以画线词precarious的意思是“不稳定的”,与“unstable”同义。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Very quickly, these programs found all sorts of unfamiliarsounding quakes—later confirmed by human scientists.(很快,这些程序就发现了各种听起来不熟悉的地震——后来得到了人类科学家的证实。)”可知,自学程序的优势在于它们能够预测出新型的地震。故选A项。

Taking advantage of people’s appetite for trendy clothes, fast fashion has grown rapidly in recent years. It refers to cheaply made clothing that allows consumers to buy a stylish outfit at an affordable price. Today, the fast fashion industry is valued at $150.82 billion (about 1,094 billion yuan) — up 10.74 percent from 2024 — and is expected to reach $291.1 billion by 2032, according to UniformMarket.
However, this growth comes with serious environmental consequences, one of which is carbon emissions. To keep costs low, the fast fashion industry uses synthetic (合成的) materials like polyester (聚酯纤维) in the largescale production of clothing. Polyester can create two to three times more carbon emissions than cotton, leading to serious air pollution. What’s worse, the rapid changes in fashion trends have created a “throwaway” culture that results in huge amounts of textile waste. When synthetic materials end up in landfills, they stay there for hundreds of years, causing soil damage and polluting groundwater.
In addition to using cheap but harmful materials, fast fashion also reduces costs by taking advantage of its workers. According to The George Washington University, the fast fashion industry employs around 75 million factory workers worldwide, but less than 2 percent earn a living wage. These factors together make fast fashion unsustainable, as it leads to both environmental harm and social injustice.
The need to solve these problems has made sustainable fashion more important than ever. First introduced in the 1990s, this idea refers to clothing that is made ethically (符合道德规范地) and is environmentally friendly. It looks at the whole life of the product, including how it is made, used and thrown away.
“There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness,” said Indian social activist Mahatma Gandhi. His words remind us of the hidden costs behind the fast fashion industry. True beauty lies in clothing that is made ethically, without harming people or the planet.
12. What may the figures used in paragraph 1 highlight?
A. The popularity of fashionable clothes. B. The economic benefits of fast fashion.
C. The environmental influence of fast fashion. D. The booming development of fast fashion industry.
13 Which of the following makes fast fashion unsustainable?
A. The diverse dressing styles of people. B. The destruction of soil caused by wastes.
C. The unreasonable use of cotton materials. D. The high costs of employing workers worldwide.
14. What can we know about sustainable fashion?
A. It was not proposed until a decade ago.
B. It aims to promote the economic development.
C. It emphasizes the complete process of clothes production.
D. It mainly focuses on the environmental aspect of clothing industry.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Cheap Clothes, High Risks B. Online Shopping, Fashion Trends
C. Recycling Solves Fashion Waste Crisis D. Fast Fashion Fuels Global Economic Growth
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了近年来全球频发的自然灾害类型(洪水、台风、地震、火山喷发)及其危害,同时提及人类应对灾害的措施和全球在提升灾害预测与应对能力方面的努力。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:近年来,自然灾害频繁袭击世界,对人类生命和财产造成巨大损失。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“In recent years”可知,此处强调从过去持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语natural disasters为复数。故填have hit。
【37题详解】
考查动词。句意:它可以淹没大片地区,摧毁房屋和庄稼,甚至威胁人们的生命。此处与 flood和destroy并列,位于情态动词can后,用动词原形,threat的动词形式为threaten意为“威胁”。故填threaten。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们经常袭击沿海地区,对建筑物、树木和基础设施造成毁灭性破坏。此处修饰名词damage,用形容词作定语,destroy的形容词为destructive意为“毁灭性的”符合句意。故填destructive。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:为了保护自己免受台风袭击,人们通常会提前准备,比如储存食物和水,固定门窗,疏散到避难所。此处为固定搭配in advance意为“提前”,所以此处使用介词in。故填in。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:地震发生时,地面剧烈震动,可能导致建筑物、桥梁和其他结构倒塌。此处修饰动词shakes,用副词作状语,heavy的副词为heavily意为“剧烈地”符合句意。故填heavily。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:地震的影响可以在广泛的区域内感受到,余震也可能造成进一步的破坏。根据上文的“The impact of an earthquake can be felt over a wide area(地震的影响可以在广泛的区域内感受到)”可知,地震影响面很广,而此处讲述的是余震造成的影响可能会是进一步地破坏,所以此处表示“进一步的”,用形容词far的比较级further。故填further。
【42题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:当岩浆、气体和岩石从火山喷发时,就会发生火山喷发。此处为从属连词引导的状语从句,结合句意,此处表示的是时间,所以为when引导的时间状语从句,表示“当……时”。故填when。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们可以向空气中释放大量的火山灰、熔岩和有毒气体,影响环境和人们的健康。此处为非谓语动词作状语,They指代Volcanic eruptions与affect为逻辑主动关系,用现在分词affecting。故填affecting。
【44题详解】
考查形式主语。句意:面对自然灾害,人们采取预防措施并保持信息畅通是很重要的。此处用it作形式主语,真正的主语为不定式短语“to take preventive measures and stay informed”。故填it。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:世界各国政府和组织正在努力寻找改善灾害预测和应对能力的方法,以减少自然灾害对人类社会的影响。此处作名词ways的后置定语,通常使用不定式形式,所以此处使用动词不定式to improve。故填to improve。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震级) quake almost flattened the city, killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos, a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock, he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school. Everything looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging, other anxious parents arrived, heartbroken, shouting desperately: “Mary!” “Sam!”
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late!” “They’re dead!” “You can’t help!” “Go home!” “Come on! There’s nothing you can do here!” “You’re just going to make things worse!”
To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?”
And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out, and explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Just go home!” To which this loving, determined father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The fire chief replied, “You’re angry and worried. I get it. But you are not helping by staying here. Just go home. We will help you find your son!” To which he replied, “But I promised my son I’ll always be there for him.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Courageously, he went alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for hours and hours. His hands were mushy and he could only see well in flashes. Right before he was about to pass out, he pulled back a large rounded rock and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “DANIEL!” A response came from below, “Dad? It’s me, Dad!” This must be the most beautiful voice he’s ever heard in his whole life! “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked anxiously.
“I’m fine. There are 13 other kids down here, Dad,” Daniel replied. “We’re scared, hungry, and thirsty. When the building collapsed, it made a triangle and saved us.” The father realized that this was a tricky situation. He couldn’t risk causing another collapse down there. Fortunately, the firefighters were just nearby. The father shouted to the fire chief and signalled to them to come over. Then, the father helped the firefighters cautiously remove the rocks and pulled out the kids one by one. When everyone was safe and sound, Daniel threw himself into his father’s arms: “You did it, Dad! No matter what, I know you’ll be there for me!”
【解析】
【导语】本文以认人物为线索展开,讲述了一座城市发生了7.8级的地震,地震几乎把这座城市夷为平地。在一片混乱中,一位父亲冲去学校救自己的儿子,因为他曾向儿子承诺“无论发生什么,他都会永远在儿子身边”。学校已经成为一片废墟,但他仍然不停地在废墟中寻找,好心的家长和消防队员试图劝他停止寻找,但他仍不放弃。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他勇敢地独自面对,因为他自己需要知道:“我的孩子是活着还是死了?””可知,第一段可描写这位父亲寻找儿子的过程及他是否找到了儿子。
②由第二段首句内容““我很好。爸爸,下面还有13个孩子,”丹尼尔回答。”可知,第二段可描写儿子获救及获救后父子二人的互动。
2.续写线索:继续寻找——听到儿子的声音——询问儿子的处境——还有13个孩子——儿子获救——父子互动
