Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known. Chances are you will give me the name of Florence Nightingale, the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. She’s still pictured today as she was in the Crimean War (克里米亚战争) of 1853, carrying a lamp from sickbed to sickbed where she tended to the wounded, and that is how she earned herself the title of “The Lady With The Lamp”.
Born on May 12th, 1820, she was a genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. Her parents were different, too. They were super-wealthy, and actually cared about the education of their two daughters. This came as a surprise because at that time, being born with two X chromosomes (染色体) was the high road to a life full of knitting and taking care of a household but her father was really dedicated to his two daughters. Education for women at that time was still at its earliest but Florence got the best education possible.
On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared that she had had a vision and God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this is when she joined Nursing. Both of her parents disagreed with that, considering that at that time nursing was looked down upon. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents, but they didn’t give in.
Aged 29, she even refused suitors (求婚者) to focus on her nursing career which at that time was non-existent. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital.
4. Why was Nightingale called “The Lady With The Lamp”?
A. She was the greatest nurse in the world.
B. She attended the Crimean War in 1853.
C. She took a lamp to take better pictures.
D. She tirelessly cared for the wounded carrying a lamp.
5. What can be inferred about Nightingale’s father according to paragraph 2?
A. He was strict with his two daughters.
B. He believed women should stay at home.
C. He placed a high value on education.
D. He objected to his daughter’s becoming a nurse.
6. How is the passage developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing reasons.
C. By following time order. D. By listing examples.
7. Which of the following can best describe Nightingale?
A. Selfless and determined. B. Caring and mean.
C. Serious and stubborn. D. Optimistic and knowledgeable.
C
Climate change is causing Europe to heat up more quickly than any other continent, and that heat is deadly, according to a new report by European climate officials.
The whole planet is warming up because of heat-trapping pollution (吸热污染) from oil, gas and coal. But Europe is getting warmer faster. Samantha Burgess is the deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is the EU’s official weather and climate organization. She says Europe is warming about twice as fast as the global average. “Globally, we’re looking at about a 0.2 degrees Celsius change per decade, whereas Europe is, I think, about 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade.”
Those tenths of a degree add up quickly. Europe is already more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was in the late 1800s. One reason Europe is heating up so quickly is that it’s very close to the Arctic, and the polar regions feel the effects of climate change more intensely. Another reason is that the ocean and atmospheric currents around Europe are warmer in general than those at similar latitudes (纬度) in other parts of the world. That’s why London’s winters are so much more temperate than Chicago’s, even though London is farther north. And it means that as the oceans and atmosphere heat up, Europe feels it in a big way.
Last year was tied for the hottest year on record in Europe. A new report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the United Nations finds that the number of deaths from hot weather in Europe has grown by at least 30% in the last 20 years.
Last summer was a prime (最典型的) example. During a heat wave in July, intense heat and humidity made it feel like it was 110 degrees Celsius or hotter in nearly half of southern Europe. That’s the kind of heat that can kill people if they don’t have access to air conditioning. Preliminary estimates say tens of thousands of people likely died. European cities are scrambling to make sure residents have access to air conditioning and reliable electricity for that air conditioning.
8. Why does the author mention what Samantha Burgess said in Paragraph 2?
A. To indicate that Europe used the most oil, gas and coal.
B. To suggest that Europe had the most people killed by heat.
C. To prove that Europe was getting warmer the fastest.
D. To tell us that Europe is in the Arctic region.
9. What caused London’s winter to be warmer than that of Chicago?
A. The difference of latitudes.
B. The distance from the equator.
C. The impact of heat-trapping pollution.
D. The effect of ocean and atmospheric currents.
10. What does the underlined word “scrambling” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Climbing hard to the top of a mountain.
B. Writing words too casually to be readable.
C. Competing with others in order to get something.
D. Managing to do something in a hurry.
11. Which column of a newspaper does this article belong to?
A. Environment. B. History. C. Source. D. Health.
D
Few insects strike greater fear into the hearts of fruit growers than rosy apple aphids. These tiny insects feed on the leaves of apple trees. Their saliva (唾液), meanwhile, contains a poison that causes the leaves to fold up and harden, providing an excellent place for them to shelter, including from farm chemicals.
In the battle against these aphids some suggest applying the services of tiny parasitoid wasps (寄生黄蜂) called Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae. Instead of killing and then eating their targets, these wasps eat and thus kill them — or rather, their larvae (幼虫) do. Females put their eggs into rosy apple aphids, and the larvae that come out of them then go on to eat their hosts’ bodies before growing as adults.
Using parasitoid wasps for pest control has a long history. Unfortunately attempts to use Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae to control rosy apple aphids have so far failed. And Louise Ferrais of the Catholic University of Louvain thinks he knows why. Previous efforts, he thinks have been so focused on the dietary requirements of the larvae that they have paid no attention to those of honey-loving adults. He suggests changing that by planting banks of flowers beside the trees.
To test this idea, researchers ran an experiment on an apple farm. They divided it into six plots, each of 700 square meters. Three were planted with strips of a mixture of 30 wildflower species. The other three were left flowerless, as controls. Then, they attached a bottle containing about 1,250 wasp pupae, from which adult wasps developed, to each of nine trees per plot and repeated that between 10 and 20 days later to increase the population. Then they examined selected trees every 10 days for groupings of aphids.
The presence of flowers, they found, was related to a diminution in the number of aphids in a plot by a third, compared with the controls. Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop that would follow a chemical solution, it would be valuable to fruit growers who wish to keep the all-important “green” label while having at least some crops left to harvest.
12. What may bother apple growers when dealing with rosy apple aphids?
A. They’re hard to remove. B. They reproduce frequently.
C. They threaten farmers’ health. D. They’re easy to escape from enemies.
13. How can the wasps kill rosy apple aphids?
A. They poison the aphids with their saliva.
B. Their larvae eat the aphids from the inside.
C. Their larvae keep the aphids from growing.
D. They prevent female aphids from laying eggs.
14. What is advised to improve wasps’ performance in aphid control?
A. Plant flowers to increase the larvae’s food sources.
B. Meet both larvae’s and adults’ food preferences.
C. Better the living environment of wasps.
D. Introduce wasps of different varieties.
15. What does the underlined word “diminution” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Rise. B. Balance. C. Variation. D. Reduction.

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。
“Who would like to show your project first?” My science teacher Mrs. Williams asked. I lowered my head. “Please don’t call on me”, I prayed silently. “Ava, Come up front,” Mrs. Williams announced. Ava happily skipped to the front. She demonstrated how to make electricity using potatoes and it was impressive. Next was my friend Jaycee. His cheeks turned red as he spoke. He showed us a rainbow experiment, which fascinated everyone.
“Michael, please present your project,” said Mrs. Williams. My heart raced as I walked to the front and placed my birdhouse on the table. “This is how to build a birdhouse,” I began nervously. “Look at your audience, Michael,” Mrs. Williams reminded me gently. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump (肿块) in my throat and started again.
“I searched online how to build a birdhouse. My dad drove me to the lumberyard (木料场), where someone cut four pieces using the measurements I gave for the walls, and then helped me drill the entrance hole.”
Luka, who always asked endless questions, raised his hand. “If others did most of the work, what exactly did you do?”
I swallowed. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and designed a removable roof for cleaning, “I lifted the roof to show everyone.” Then I nailed (钉牢) all the walls together. “I had left one of the nails sticking out a little on purpose so that I could nail it on the spot. I picked up the hammer (锤子) and gave the nail a mighty hit. There was a deep breath, and then nobody spoke. The clock above the classroom door ticked like something out of an adventure movie. Unexpectedly, the birdhouse broke and collapsed.
“I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse—AND how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast.
I was sure there was sweat streaming down my face.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The class burst out laughing and then started clapping—For me!

After class, I decided to rebuild the birdhouse and present it again.

Suppose I were to ask you to name some of the greatest nurses that the world has ever known. Chances are you will give me the name of Florence Nightingale, the wealthy woman who gave off her everything to serve the needy people of her time and become a nurse. She’s still pictured today as she was in the Crimean War (克里米亚战争) of 1853, carrying a lamp from sickbed to sickbed where she tended to the wounded, and that is how she earned herself the title of “The Lady With The Lamp”.
Born on May 12th 1820, she was a genius who spoke multiple languages and pioneered the concepts of statistical analysis that are still used today. Her parents were different, too. They were super-wealthy, and actually cared about the education of their two daughters. This came as a surprise because at that time, being born with two X chromosomes (染色体) was the high road to a life full of knitting and taking care of a household but her father was really dedicated to his two daughters. Education for women at that time was still at its earliest but Florence got the best education possible.
On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared that she had had a vision and God had commanded her to end suffering in this world and this is when she joined Nursing. Both of her parents disagreed with that, considering that at that time nursing was looked down upon. Florence over the next 12-13 years tried convincing her parents, but they didn’t give in.
Aged 29, she even refused suitors (求婚者) to focus on her nursing career which at that time was non-existent. When Florence turned 30, her dad was completely worn out from resisting and then sent her to Germany for nursing training. In 1853 her dream was completely realized and she undertook a job in London at a hospital.
4. Why was Nightingale called “The Lady With The Lamp”?
A. She was the greatest nurse in the world.
B. She attended the Crimean War in 1853.
C. She took a lamp to take better pictures.
D. She tirelessly cared for the wounded carrying a lamp.
5. What can be inferred about Nightingale’s father according to paragraph 2?
A. He was strict with his two daughters.
B. He believed women should stay at home.
C. He placed a high value on education.
D. He objected to his daughter’s becoming a nurse.
6. How is the passage developed?
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing reasons.
C. By following time order. D. By listing examples.
7. Which of the following can best describe Nightingale?
A. Selfless and determined. B. Caring and mean.
C. Serious and stubborn. D. Optimistic and knowledgeable.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A

Climate change is causing Europe to heat up more quickly than any other continent, and that heat is deadly, according to a new report by European climate officials.
The whole planet is warming up because of heat-trapping pollution (吸热污染) from oil, gas and coal. But Europe is getting warmer faster. Samantha Burgess is the deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is the EU’s official weather and climate organization. She says Europe is warming about twice as fast as the global average. “Globally, we’re looking at about a 0.2 degrees Celsius change per decade, whereas Europe is, I think, about 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade.”
Those tenths of a degree add up quickly. Europe is already more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was in the late 1800s. One reason Europe is heating up so quickly is that it’s very close to the Arctic, and the polar regions feel the effects of climate change more intensely. Another reason is that the ocean and atmospheric currents around Europe are warmer in general than those at similar latitudes (纬度) in other parts of the world. That’s why London’s winters are so much more temperate than Chicago’s, even though London is farther north. And it means that as the oceans and atmosphere heat up, Europe feels it in a big way.
Last year was tied for the hottest year on record in Europe. A new report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the United Nations finds that the number of deaths from hot weather in Europe has grown by at least 30% in the last 20 years.
Last summer was a prime (最典型的) example. During a heat wave in July, intense heat and humidity made it feel like it was 110 degrees Celsius or hotter in nearly half of southern Europe. That’s the kind of heat that can kill people if they don’t have access to air conditioning. Preliminary estimates say tens of thousands of people likely died. European cities are scrambling to make sure residents have access to air conditioning and reliable electricity for that air conditioning.
8. Why does the author mention what Samantha Burgess said in Paragraph 2?
A. To indicate that Europe used the most oil, gas and coal.
B. To suggest that Europe had the most people killed by heat.
C. To prove that Europe was getting warmer the fastest.
D. To tell us that Europe is in the Arctic region.
9. What caused London’s winter to be warmer than that of Chicago?
A. The difference of latitudes.
B. The distance from the equator.
C. The impact of heat-trapping pollution.
D. The effect of ocean and atmospheric currents.
10. What does the underlined word “scrambling” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Climbing hard to the top of a mountain.
B. Writing words too casually to be readable.
C. Competing with others in order to get something.
D. Managing to do something in a hurry.
11. Which column of a newspaper does this article belong to?
A. Environment. B. History. C. Source. D. Health.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。据欧洲气候官员的一份新报告,气候变化导致欧洲的升温速度比其他任何大陆都要快,其两个主要原因是:欧洲离北极很近;欧洲周围的海洋和大气环流总体上比世界上其他地区的要温暖。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But Europe is getting warmer faster. Samantha Burgess is the deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is the EU’s official weather and climate organization. She says Europe is warming about twice as fast as the global average. “Globally, we’re looking at about a 0.2 degrees Celsius change per decade, whereas Europe is, I think, about 0.4 degrees Celsius per decade.”(但是欧洲的气温正在以更快的速度上升。Samantha Burgess是欧盟官方气象和气候机构——哥白尼气候变化服务的副主管。她说,欧洲的变暖速度大约是全球平均水平的两倍。“全球范围内,我们看到每十年大约有0.2摄氏度的变化,而欧洲,我认为,每十年大约有0.4摄氏度的变化。”)”可推知作者提到Samantha Burgess的话是为了证明欧洲变暖速度最快。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another reason is that the ocean and atmospheric currents around Europe are warmer in general than those at similar latitudes (纬度) in other parts of the world. That’s why London’s winters are so much more temperate than Chicago’s, even though London is farther north.(另一个原因是,欧洲周围的海洋和大气环流总体上比世界上其他相同纬度地区的要温暖。这就是为什么伦敦的冬天要比芝加哥温和得多,即使伦敦的位置更靠北)可知,伦敦的冬天比芝加哥暖和是因为海洋和大气流的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“That’s the kind of heat that can kill people if they don’t have access to air conditioning. Preliminary estimates say tens of thousands of people likely died.(这种热量如果没有空调的话可能会致命。初步估计表明,可能有数万人因此丧生)”可知,如果没有空调,这种高温可以致人死亡,因此欧洲各面大城市才争先恐后地(抢占资源)让其居民能用得上空调,并为空调提供可靠的电力,因此划线词scrambling意为“抢占;争抢”。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其如第一段“Climate change is causing Europe to heat up more quickly than any other continent, and that heat is deadly, according to a new report by European climate officials.(根据欧洲气候官员发布的一份新报告,气候变化正导致欧洲比其他任何大陆更快地变暖,而且这种高温是致命的)”可知,据欧洲气候官员的一份新报告,气候变化导致欧洲的升温速度比其他任何大陆都要快,其两个主要原因是:欧洲离北极很近;欧洲周围的海洋和大气环流总体上比世界上其他地区的要温暖。所以这篇文章属于报纸的环境栏目。故选A。
D
Few insects strike greater fear into the hearts of fruit growers than rosy apple aphids. These tiny insects feed on the leaves of apple trees. Their saliva (唾液), meanwhile, contains a poison that causes the leaves to fold up and harden, providing an excellent place for them to shelter, including from farm chemicals.
In the battle against these aphids, some suggest applying the services of tiny parasitoid wasps (寄生黄蜂) called Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae. Instead of killing and then eating their targets, these wasps eat and thus kill them — or rather, their larvae (幼虫) do. Females put their eggs into rosy apple aphids, and the larvae that come out of them then go on to eat their hosts’ bodies before growing as adults.
Using parasitoid wasps for pest control has a long history. Unfortunately attempts to use Ephedrus cerasicola and Aphidius matricariae to control rosy apple aphids have so far failed. And Louise Ferrais of the Catholic University of Louvain thinks he knows why. Previous efforts, he thinks have been so focused on the dietary requirements of the larvae that they have paid no attention to those of honey-loving adults. He suggests changing that by planting banks of flowers beside the trees.
To test this idea, researchers ran an experiment on an apple farm. They divided it into six plots, each of 700 square meters. Three were planted with strips of a mixture of 30 wildflower species. The other three were left flowerless, as controls. Then, they attached a bottle containing about 1,250 wasp pupae, from which adult wasps developed, to each of nine trees per plot and repeated that between 10 and 20 days later to increase the population. Then they examined selected trees every 10 days for groupings of aphids.
The presence of flowers, they found, was related to a diminution in the number of aphids in a plot by a third, compared with the controls. Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop that would follow a chemical solution, it would be valuable to fruit growers who wish to keep the all-important “green” label while having at least some crops left to harvest.
12. What may bother apple growers when dealing with rosy apple aphids?
A. They’re hard to remove. B. They reproduce frequently.
C. They threaten farmers’ health. D. They’re easy to escape from enemies.
13. How can the wasps kill rosy apple aphids?
A. They poison the aphids with their saliva.
B. Their larvae eat the aphids from the inside.
C. Their larvae keep the aphids from growing.
D. They prevent female aphids from laying eggs.
14. What is advised to improve wasps’ performance in aphid control?
A. Plant flowers to increase the larvae’s food sources.
B. Meet both larvae’s and adults’ food preferences.
C. Better the living environment of wasps.
D. Introduce wasps of different varieties.
15. What does the underlined word “diminution” probably mean in the last paragraph?
A. Rise. B. Balance. C. Variation. D. Reduction.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了利用寄生黄蜂和花卉控制玫瑰苹果蚜虫的有效性和生态优势。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Their saliva (唾液), meanwhile, contains a poison that causes the leaves to fold up and harden, providing an excellent place for them to shelter, including from farm chemicals.(与此同时,它们的唾液中含有一种毒素,这种毒素会使叶子折叠变硬,为它们提供了一个绝佳的避难所,包括躲避农药)”可知,玫瑰苹果蚜虫唾液中的毒素会使果树叶子折叠变硬,为它们提供庇护,躲避农药,所以在处理玫瑰色苹果蚜虫时困扰果农的是它们很难清除,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Females put their eggs into rosy apple aphids, and the larvae that come out of them then go on to eat their hosts’ bodies before growing as adults.(雌性将卵放入玫瑰色苹果蚜虫中,从它们身上出来的幼虫在成长为成虫之前会继续吃掉宿主的身体)”可知,在玫瑰苹果蚜虫身体里面的黄蜂幼虫从里面吃掉玫瑰苹果蚜虫,从而杀死它们,故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Previous efforts, he thinks have been so focused on the dietary requirements of the larvae that they have paid no attention to those of honey-loving adults. He suggests changing that by planting banks of flowers beside the trees.(他认为,之前的努力过于关注幼虫的饮食需求,而没有注意到爱吃蜂蜜的成虫的饮食需求。他建议通过在树旁种植花丛来改变这种状况)”可知,为了提高黄蜂在控制蚜虫方面的表现,建议满足幼虫和成虫的食物喜好,故选B。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Though that is not as impressive as the 80-90% drop that would follow a chemical solution, it would be valuable to fruit growers who wish to keep the all-important ‘green’ label while having at least some crops left to harvest.(虽然这并不像化学溶液能减少80-90%那样令人印象深刻,但对于那些希望保持最重要的‘绿色’标签,同时至少还有一些作物可以收获的水果种植者来说,这是有价值的)”可知,种植花丛的方法有价值,推知划线词所在句意为“花的存在与地块中蚜虫数量减少三分之一有关”,diminution意为“减少”,故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述是李黛予和刘倩在加拿大旅行的经历。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:出发前,她们在温哥华呆了几天,那里有一些卖工艺品和古董的商店。根据空格前的介词before可知,空格处应该用动名词starting作宾语。故填starting。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:出发前,她们在温哥华呆了几天,那里有一些卖工艺品和古董的商店。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词Vancouver进行限定说明,关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:出发前,她们在温哥华呆了几天,那里有一些卖工艺品和古董的商店。antique是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应该用复数形式作宾语。故填antiques。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:在那之后,他们乘火车前往路易斯湖,那里的蓝色湖水让她们惊叹不已。take one’s breath away“令人惊叹;让人屏息”是固定搭配。故填away。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她们的下一站是埃德蒙顿,这座城市的日均气温为零下10摄氏度。根据空格前的with daily temperatures可知,此处是with复合结构,空格处应该用非谓语动词作宾语补足语;动词average与temperatures之间是逻辑主动关系,所以用现在分词averaging作宾语补足语。故填averaging。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:她们早就知道加拿大是一个幅员辽阔但人口稀少的国家。根据句意和空格后的名词短语small population可知,空格处应该填入一个介词且意义为“具有”,所以应该用介词with。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,她们没有想到会看到一个如此开放的国家。此处为短语anticipate doing sth.表示“预料到做某事”,see用动名词形式作宾语。故填seeing。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:她们都很惊讶。根据句意和空格前的were可知,空格处应该用形容词作表语,且意义为“感到惊讶的”,所以用说明人心理状态的-ed形容词amazed。故填amazed。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:火车轰隆隆地开着,窗外的红枫证实了秋天已经来到了加拿大。空格处是谓语动词,根据上文的并列谓语thundered和下文的宾语从句谓语had arrived可知,描述过去发生的事,应该用一般过去时。故填confirmed。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:最后,她们到达了目的地——多伦多。空格处作状语,修饰下文的句子,应该用副词eventually,首字母大写。故填Eventually。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled to hear about your trip to Putian! For transportation, taking a direct flight from Guangzhou is highly recommended. Though slightly more expensive, it saves your precious time (only 1.5 hours) and ensures a comfortable journey.
When exploring Putian, do visit Meizhou Island, the sacred birthplace of Mazu culture, where breathtaking coastal scenery merges with spiritual heritage. Another highlight is Jiulihu Waterfall, famed for its crystal-clear lakes and poetic rock formations, often compared to a miniature Guilin. These sites perfectly capture Putian’s cultural and natural charm.
Wish you an unforgettable adventure!
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Peter,
Delighted to hear you’re visiting Putian! A direct flight from Guangzhou is your best choice, combining efficiency and comfort. Though slightly costly, it ensures you arrive refreshed for exploration. (句式来源:B2U1 “Journey Across a Vast Land” 中交通方式评价)
Putian is home to cultural wonders. Start with Meizhou Island, where Mazu culture originated. Walking along its coastline, you’ll marvel at temples standing against vast blue seas—a perfect blend of faith and nature(仿写B2U1 “The Rewards of Travel” 中文化景观描述). Next, Jiulihu Waterfall, a landscape of emerald pools and cliffs, offers scenes straight from a Chinese painting(仿写B2U3 “Discover the Beauty of Chinese Gardens” 中自然描写).
Wishing you a journey as inspiring as the destinations!
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
“Who would like to show your project first?” My science teacher Mrs. Williams asked. I lowered my head. “Please don’t call on me”, I prayed silently. “Ava, Come up front,” Mrs. Williams announced. Ava happily skipped to the front. She demonstrated how to make electricity using potatoes and it was impressive. Next was my friend Jaycee. His cheeks turned red as he spoke. He showed us a rainbow experiment, which fascinated everyone.
“Michael, please present your project,” said Mrs. Williams. My heart raced as I walked to the front and placed my birdhouse on the table. “This is how to build a birdhouse,” I began nervously. “Look at your audience, Michael,” Mrs. Williams reminded me gently. I swallowed the baseball-sized lump (肿块) in my throat and started again.
“I searched online how to build a birdhouse. My dad drove me to the lumberyard (木料场), where someone cut four pieces using the measurements I gave for the walls, and then helped me drill the entrance hole.”
Luka, who always asked endless questions, raised his hand. “If others did most of the work, what exactly did you do?”
I swallowed. The lump in my throat was now the size of a basketball. “I came up with the idea and designed a removable roof for cleaning, “I lifted the roof to show everyone.” Then I nailed (钉牢) all the walls together. “I had left one of the nails sticking out a little on purpose so that I could nail it on the spot. I picked up the hammer (锤子) and gave the nail a mighty hit. There was a deep breath, and then nobody spoke. The clock above the classroom door ticked like something out of an adventure movie. Unexpectedly, the birdhouse broke and collapsed.
“I wanted to show you how to build a birdhouse—AND how to take it apart,” I said, thinking fast.
I was sure there was sweat streaming down my face.
注意:
1. 写作词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The class burst out laughing and then started clapping—For me!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, I decided to rebuild the birdhouse and present it again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The class burst out laughing and then started clapping—For me! I felt my face burning, but then I noticed something surprising — the kids weren’t laughing at me. Jayce gave me an encouraging thumbs-up, and even Luka seemed impressed by my quick fix. Mrs. Williams’ eyes sparkled. “Michael, that was really an unexpected incident! You handled it in a very creative way,” she praised. Gathering courage, I said, jokingly, “Thanks, I guess now you all know what happens when you don’t hammer properly!” The class broke into laughter once more. “Actually, this proves why we need to use the right size nails,” I continued, pointing to the split wood. “And maybe I should have practiced hammering first.” The class chuckled again.
After class, I decided to rebuild the birdhouse and present it again. I spent hours checking measurements, sanding wood edges, and practicing my hammering. A week later, I stood before the class with my new, stabler birdhouse. “Last time, I showed you what not to do,” I started, grinning. “Now, here’s the right way!” I demonstrated each step confidently, my hands steady and my voice clear. When I finished, the class erupted into enthusiastic applause. “Now that’s what I call learning from mistakes,” Mrs. Williams nodded approvingly and suggested I sign up for the district Science Fair. I beamed with pride. My “failure” became my greatest opportunity.
