The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advancement of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual (智力的) contributions a “unique right to their writings and discoveries” for limited times. Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U.S. Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area.
It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force.
The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered.
Those are subject to protection:
(1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures
(3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films
(5) Maps (6) Works of ant
(7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs
(9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions
Those are not subject to protection:
(1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans
(3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts
You can contact the Copyright Office (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information.
1. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents?
A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection.
C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society.
2. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration?
A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself.
C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates.
3. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______.
A. a movie about a new method of time travel

The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.
A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes.
Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness.
“I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.”
In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived.
4. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs?
A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic.
C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change.
5. Why did Green pursue a diverse path?
A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers.
C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation.
6. What matters most to her career according to Green?
A. Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin.
C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey.
7. Which words can best describe Green?
A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative.
C Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest.
C
If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.
8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text?
A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility.
9. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text?
A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses.
C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life.
10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts.
C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul
B. The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full
C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity
D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy
D
Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value, as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
“That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.”
12. What can the laser camera be used for?
A. Improving the usage of stethoscope.
B. Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C. Recording images of the human throat.
D. Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system?
A. How it works. B. Where it is used.
C. Whom it benefits. D. What it is composed of.
14. Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4?
A. Consistency. B. Complexity C. Sensitivity. D. Intensity.
15. What role does AI play in this system?
A. To measure skin movements. B. To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C. To record images at high speeds. D. To shine a laser beam on the skin.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example.
After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time.
___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed.
Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.
On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along.
A. It helps widen perspectives.
B. This method has its limitations.
C. That was when I took up speed reading.
D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles.
E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books.
F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading.
G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.

My father’s thrift (节俭) philosophy shaped my youth. Unlike peers receiving pocket money, I never got a penny — not from cruelty, but to build ___21___. Each morning, he’d note, “Mrs. Wilson needs her garden weeded; Mr. Carter requires help ___22___ bottles.” I earned coins through ___23___ work in the neighborhood; sweeping leaves, shoveling snow and planting trees.
Savings filled the tin under my bed, its weight showing my growing ___24___. Though he occasionally borrowed for emergencies (a flat tire or a medical bill), ___25___ was exact and timely. When I lost two months’ earnings in a(n) ___26___ lemonade business, his only words were, “Live and learn.” At twelve, I considered this cruel; at thirty, I ___27___ its wisdom — true lessons grow through doing.
Modern thrift education ___28___ saving, but ignores its key point: earning. Father believed “earned coins teach value; given coins generate greed” — a truth wealthy families overlook while ___29___ thrift. By delivering papers at dawn and mowing lawns at dusk, I learned that true thrift is a triad (三位一体) — earn through ___30___, save with intention, spend with care. This trio, ___31___ in classrooms, roots in blistered (起水泡的) hands and difficult situations.
___32___, supermarkets throw outdated bread (still eatable) as shelters beg for donations. Witnessing global contrasts inspires my resolve: 1.3 billion tons of food go bad annually — enough to feed all the hungry — while 800 million starve. This phenomenon ___33___ my Food Rescue project — redirecting bakery remains to food banks and training youth to ___34___ deserted furniture for schools. Through such acts, thrift becomes social justice. As Father said, “Earning teaches respect for resources.” In our wasteful era, thrift transforms from ___35___ discipline to collective duty.

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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.

A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.

The path to success isn’t always clear-cut. Julia Green knows this well. Just as she graduated from college, a financial crisis swept the country, making it hard to get a job in journalism. Despite her growing worries, she didn’t give up on her dream; instead, she tried a global volunteer program for her self-growth.
A year later, Green began taking random writing jobs to make ends meet, while dreaming of a day when she could write freely and be paid for it. Afterwards, she applied for the fully funded Master of Fine Arts program, and was accepted to study fiction writing at the University of Michigan. Though the program didn’t end up opening many doors for her, she was paid to write and take classes.
Green has never shied away from challenging topics. Marriage, healthcare, employment and more have featured noticeably in her writing, and she is especially impressive when it comes to music criticism. “I’ve intentionally tried to keep my lane (道路) very wide,” she said. “It was what I had to do in the beginning. I wanted to become a well-rounded writer.” She penned articles for a variety of websites. Slowly, she began to build a reputation for fearlessness.
“I’ve been writing since I was 22. This craft requires that you have a tough skin.” said Green, when asked about her writing journey. “As a writer, you are not well served by caring what other people think about you. You have to be emotionally prepared to face rejection.”
In the past decade, Green, lacking many examples to model after, has achieved remarkable success through great effort. She landed regular writing positions, had worked in respected journals, made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and wrote a world-class bestseller. By any young journalist’s definition, Green had arrived.
4. What do we know about Green from the first two paragraphs?
A. A financial crisis ruined her dream. B. Further education made her optimistic.
C. Volunteering brought her new jobs. D. Her passion for writing did not change.
5. Why did Green pursue a diverse path?
A. To show off her creativity. B. To please critical readers.
C. To develop her adaptability. D. To build her a reputation.
6. What matters most to her career according to Green?
A. Handling criticism bravely. B. Maintaining youthful skin.
C. Gaining public recognition. D. Writing about her journey.
7. Which words can best describe Green?
A. Independent and considerate. B. Generous and creative.
C. Hard-working and determined. D. Ambitious and modest.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Julia Green历经困难坚持写作并取得成功的故事。

If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.
8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text?
A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty.
C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility.
9. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text?
A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses.
C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life.
10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts.
C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul
B. The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full
C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity
D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术,但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.(然后制定一个你的艺术接触之旅的时间表,逐渐把艺术融入你的日常生活)”可推知,下文可能会讲述把艺术融入日常生活的方法。故选D。
11题详解】

Glasgow University researchers have created a laser (激光) camera using AI and quantum technologies to remotely detect a person’s heartbeat, potentially changing health monitoring. Professor Faccio imagines various applications, such as setting up this technology in shopping malls or fixing laser heart monitors in homes. These monitors could be part of an extensive system tracking different health aspects, such as blood pressure and slight changes in movement, indicating early signs of conditions like Alzheimer’s.
Monitoring a person’s heartbeat from a distance holds significant value, as it can detect irregularities like abnormal heart rates, providing crucial warnings of potential heart issues. In contrast to the traditional use of stethoscopes (听诊器), this system overcomes limitations associated with proper stethoscope usage, such as the need for training and the potential reduction of heartbeat signals.
The system developed by Faccio and his team involves high-speed cameras which can record images at speeds of 2,000 frames per second. A laser beam is shone on to the skin of a person’s throat and the reflections are used to measure exactly how much their skin is rising and falling as their main artery (动脉) expands and contracts as blood is forced through it. These changes involve movements of only a few billionths of a metre.
Such acuity is striking, though on its own the tracking of these tiny changes would not be enough to track a heartbeat. Other, much larger movements occur on a person’s chest — from their breathing, for example — which would flood signals from their heartbeat.
“That is where AI comes in,” Faccio said. “We use advanced computing systems to separate out everything except the vibrations caused by a person’s heartbeat. We know the frequency range of the human heartbeat, and the AI focuses on that. The prime use of this technology — which we hope to have ready next year — will be to measure heartbeats easily and quickly outside hospitals. The benefits could be considerable.”
12. What can the laser camera be used for?
A. Improving the usage of stethoscope.
B. Measuring blood pressure remotely.
C. Recording images of the human throat.
D Detecting a person’s heartbeat from a distance.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on as for this system?
A. How it works. B. Where it is used.
C. Whom it benefits. D. What it is composed of.
14. Which is closest in meaning to “acuity” in paragraph 4?
A. Consistency. B. Complexity C. Sensitivity. D. Intensity.
15. What role does AI play in this system?
A. To measure skin movements. B. To recognize heartbeat vibrations.
C. To record images at high speeds. D. To shine a laser beam on the skin.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example.
After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time.
___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed.
Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.
On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along.
A. It helps widen perspectives.
B. This method has its limitations.
C. That was when I took up speed reading.
D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles.
E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books.
F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading.
G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了美国国家亚洲艺术博物馆将两卷中国古代丝绸手稿归还中国的事件。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:美国国家亚洲艺术博物馆将两卷中国古代丝绸手稿归还中国,这两卷手稿在海外漂泊近80年后于周日抵达北京。根据句意可知,此处表示“在海外近80年后”,应用介词after表示“在……之后”。故填after。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:专家称,这份手稿的价值堪比西方的《死海古卷》,是目前发现的中国最古老的丝绸文字,也是中国发现的战国时期唯一的已知手稿。根据句意可知,此处表示“堪比……的”,应用形容词comparable作表语。故填comparable。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处需用非谓语动词作定语修饰名词one,know和one为被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词known作定语。故填known。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这份手稿的名字叫子弹库帛书,它因被盗的地点而得名。空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是site,指地点,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:中国驻美大使说,这份手稿有900多个字,充满了神话和数字。根据句意可知,前后句之间是并列关系,所以空处需用连词and连接。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他说,这两卷手稿的回归是文化上的一个里程碑,也是中美在遗产保护方面合作的证明,这一举动将为两国人民之间的交流和友谊带来新的活力。根据句意可知,此处表示特指这两卷手稿的回归,所以空处需用定冠词the。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。根据句意和前一个宾语从句的谓语动词“is”可知,此处从句陈述客观事实,所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时,主语是the move,谓语动词第三人称单数形式。故填brings。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:他还补充说,当两国在平等和相互尊重的基础上合作时,它们可以取得有助于双方和他人的重要成果。根据空前介词on和空后and respecting可知,空处需用名词equality与respecting并列作宾语,equality表示“平等”,不可数名词。故填equality。
44题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:一位国际法专家提到,由于许多中国流失海外的文物因各种原因丢失了很长时间,而且分布广泛,因此很难找回。根据句意和句子结构可知,主句是一般现在时态,所以从句的时态根据具体情况而定,根据时间状语over a long time可知,从句描述的是过去一段时间发生的动作,因为文物是被丢失,所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数many of them,所以空处助动词需用were。故填were lost。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他说,列出这些丢失物品的完整清单,并研究它们来自哪里以及它们是如何被移动的,这是至关重要的。It is essential to do sth.表示“做某事是至关重要的”,固定句型,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式,所以空处需用动词不定式to make作主语。故填to make。

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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画,但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画,但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天,他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛,他很高兴,但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早,约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知,第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段句首内容“一周后,一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知,第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动,妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言,最后升华文章的主旨:坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索:离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
3.词汇激活
行为类
①猛冲:dash/ dart/ leap
②全神贯注于:be absorbed in/ concentrate on
③期盼:look forward to/long for
情绪类
①高兴的:happily/joyfully/delightedly
②焦急地:anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly
【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. ( 运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语)
【高分句型2】After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. ( 运用了with复合结构)
【高分句型3】Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. (运用了现在分词Knowing作原因状语)
