专题09 读后续写 主题01 人与自我——生活故事 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏镇江中学·期中） Little Tom was a student in senior high school. He was not good at his work and failed many times in the exams, and he never knew why he couldn’t catch up with others. One day, Tom and his teacher were walking through the forest. He was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest. He asked his teacher, “Why are most people’s minds restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to calm the mind down?” The teacher looked at Tom, smiled and told him a story: On one beautiful day, an elephant was standing by the shade of a tree, eating its leaves. Suddenly, a small fly came buzzingly and landed on the elephant’s ear. The elephant stayed calm and continued eating, ignoring the fly. The fly flew around the elephant’s ear, buzzing noisily, yet the elephant seemed to be unaffected. This confused the fly, and it asked, “Are you deaf?” “No!” the elephant answered. “Why aren’t you bothered by my buzz?” the fly asked. “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay calm just for a few moments?” asked the elephant, and peacefully continued eating the leaves. The fly answered, “Everything I see, hear and feel attracts my attention, and all noises and movements around me affect my behavior.” “What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still, while I am buzzing around your ears?” “I can continue eating peacefully, because my five senses do not disturb my peace.” “How is it possible?” asked the fly amazed and confused. “Because I don’t let them rule my attention,” answered the elephant. “I am in control of my mind and my thoughts, and therefore, I can direct my attention where I want, and ignore any disturbance including your buzz.” “And therefore,” continued the elephant, “I am completely lost in the act of eating, enjoying my food and chewing it peacefully.” 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。 After listening to the story, Tom’s eyes opened wide and smiled. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, he paid his attention to whatever he was doing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After listening to the story, Tom’s eyes opened wide and smiled. He looked at his teacher and said, “I now understand! When I am doing something, I am always not paying attention and I am easily disturbed by the things around me. So my mind is always in constant unrest. If I focus my attention on the things that I am doing, I will not care about whatever happens in the world around me and I will control my five senses and control my mind.” “Yes, that’s right,’’ the teacher answered. From that day on, he paid his attention to whatever he was doing. In class, his attention was completely fixed on what the teacher was saying, and he didn’t talk with his deskmate any more, which made his deskmate amazed. When he was doing his homework no matter what was going on outside, he was not affected. His parents were surprised at his change and asked what had happened to him. He told the story about the fly and the elephant to them. Because of his efforts, he made great progress in the final examination. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小汤姆是一名高中生。他不擅长他的学习，在考试中失败了很多次，他从来不知道为什么他赶不上别人。某天老师和他在森林中散步时，老师给他讲述了苍蝇和大象的故事，大象因为注意力集中所以不会在意苍蝇的打扰，汤姆也从中知道要集中注意力做事情的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听了这个故事，汤姆睁大了眼睛，笑了”可知，第一段可描写汤姆从故事中得到的感悟。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，无论做什么，他都全神贯注”可知，第二段可描写汤姆的变化。 2.续写线索：汤姆理解故事——控制感官和思想——汤姆的感悟——汤姆的变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 做事：do something/undertake 关心：care about /concern 集中：fix on/focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 惊讶：amazed /surprised 不安：unrest / unease 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I am doing something, I am always not paying attention and I am easily disturbed by the things around me.

The loneliness hit him hard, and he longed for her voice calling him to dinner, even if it was just to remind him to clean up.    The following morning, Andrew woke up, ran downstairs, and called out for his mother. Relief washed over him when he heard her reply from the kitchen. He hugged her tightly, surprising her. “Mom, I’m sorry for always saying ‘later’. I’ll try to change,” he said earnestly.

She sat on my bed, her blue eyes blank. “I’m bored,” she said, slowly playing her thick red hair. She had come to play half an hour ago. “Please don’t go,” I begged her again. “Your mother said you could stay for an hour.” Ann started to get up, then spotted a pair of beautiful Indian boots on my bedside table. With their bright-color and soft leather, the boots were my most cherished possession (珍视的财产). “I’ll stay if you’ll give me those,” Ann said. I hesitated (犹豫不决). I couldn’t imagine parting with the boots. “But Aunt Reba gave them to me,” I said in a low voice. My aunt had been a beautiful, kind woman. I had really loved her. She was never too busy to spend time with me. We made up silly stories and laughed and laughed. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, as I held the soft boots in my hands, I was filled with fond memories of Aunt Reba. “Come on,” pressed Ann. “I’m your best friend.” As if she needed to remind me! I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything, I wanted someone to play with me. I wanted someone to play with so much that I handed Ann the boots! After she put them in her bag, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood for a while. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I didn’t feel like playing anyway.

Maybe she’ll understand how much they meant to you and offer to give them back.” Her words brought me a glimmer of hope, but I still felt hollow inside.

She hesitated, a flicker of guilt passing across her face. “I really like them,” she admitted softly. “But I understand how much they meant to you. They were a gift from your aunt, weren’t they?” I nodded, tears welling up in my eyes. Ann sighed and reached into her bag, pulling out the boots. “Here, take them back.

Instead, I became a teacher, and seven years into my teaching career at a small school in West Seattle, I finally decided to give up my writing dream. It didn’t mean I stopped writing altogether, but it meant giving up on my first novel. Then one spring, four years later, my seventh graders and I had the chance to meet bestselling author Jamie Ford. After hearing his advice about writing prize-winning stories, I revisited my old dream. I created a novel-writing project the following September when my seventh-grade students became my eighth-graders. Each week, during language arts class, my students spent an hour writing stories. During that hour, I told them that I, their teacher, would be doing the same homework. They were excited to have me working alongside them. Little did they know that I usually spent that hour writing emails to parents, planning the next day’s lessons, and grading papers. During a story-writing period, a student called Kellen came up to me with a question about his book and caught me doing teacher work. He called me out. “Hey! You’re not writing!” he said, both excited and disappointed he’d caught the teacher off task. I admitted (承认) it and got back to my novel. All was well until he caught me a second time during a different story writing period. Again, I had no excuse. I went back to work, and this time I wrote wholeheartedly, truly working on my novel. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150个左右； 2. 续写部分分两段，每段开头已为你写好。 Then it hit me that I needed someone to push me to write.

Why not Kellen? I approached Kellen the next day with a position. “Kellen, would you be interested in being my writing partner? You can help keep me on track, and in return, I’ll give you extra help with your writing.” His eyes lit up with surprise and excitement. “Really, I’d love that!” From then on, during our writing hour every week, we would sit together, our heads bent over our respective notebooks. Kellen would offer his own ideas and suggestions, while I would help him revise his sentences and develop his passages. One afternoon, Kellen asked me whether I wanted to submit (提交) my novel for a competition. The question caught me off . “Do you really think it’s good enough?” I asked. “Absolutely,” Kellen replied without hesitation. “It’s the best story I’ve ever read. You are sure to win!” With his encouragement, I decided to give it a shot. We spent every spare moment polishing each sentence and refining the plot before submitting my work. Finally, With Kellen’s honest feedback and support, I got the first prize in our city novel competition. The prize wasn’t just about fulfilling a dream, but about finding the right partner to help navigate the journey. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者从早年的写作梦想到成为教师后的放弃，再到因偶遇畅销书作家而重拾梦想，并最终在学生的监督和激励下全心投入小说创作的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“然后我突然想到，我需要有人来推动我写作。”可知，第一段可描写作者邀请Kellen担当自己的写作搭档，来推动自己写作。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天下午，Kellen问我是否想把我的小说拿去参加比赛。”可知，第二段可描写Kellen鼓励作者参赛并获奖的经过以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：邀请Kellen——开始搭档——鼓励参赛——努力写好——获奖——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①提供：offer/provide ②决定：decide/determine ③获得：get/win 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] It’s the best story I’ve ever read.(省略that的定语从句) [高分句型2] We spent every spare moment polishing each sentence and refining the plot before submitting my work.(动名词作宾语) Passage 3 （24-25高一上·江苏泰兴·期中） A Cold Winter Evening On a cold winter evening, Li Ming walked home with heavy steps, his heart heavy with the news of failing an important exam at school.

Lisa’s mom knocked twice on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” She whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.” “Ugh,” mumbled (含含糊糊地说) Lisa into her pillow. “What does that even mean?” “It’s just an expression, Honey”, her mom replied. She gave Lisa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Lisa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes. With her mom’s repeated urging, Lisa had no choice but to get herself dressed. She went unwillingly downstairs for breakfast, ate slowly, and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she failed to get a place in the Chess Club. She also missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help at lunchtime. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. As a result, she missed her favourite library time. This day was no fun. The next morning, Lisa was woken up by the same loud noisy song. Instead of ignoring it, today Lisa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily.

Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself. The only problem was that her son who was a doctor busy with his work seldom had time to visit her, leaving her living lonely. One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!” Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face. “Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said. The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left. When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home.

When asked why she didn’t go to hospital, Lydia explained she was too weak to drive. Out of sympathy, Polly offered to drive her to the hospital. Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in. Having learned about the situation through the phone called by Polly, her son helped contact doctors.

He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived.

Jenny sighed（叹气）. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path. Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots, of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water...” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really has something magic about it. The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm.

Sean hated it that he couldn’t remember all of the sailing terms (术语) and skills his dad taught him. However, he pushed himself to ask, expecting his father’s response. “Which way are we turning?” “We’re coming about” his father said firmly. “That means we are turning into the wild. That way.” His father said, pointing to the right side of the boat. “Time for you to make a bowline knot (单套结)!” Sean reached for a rope and tried his best to make one. His father had taught him the skill dozens of times, which could not only help moor (停泊) the boat but also save everyone in emergency. After practising several times, he finally knew how to do this correctly and quickly. He looked back at his father, hoping for a praise. But his dad was looking up at the sail (帆), not at him. He untied the knot and dropped the rope under the seat, filled with a sense of loss. He looked up at the sky. Dark clouds gathered overhead and the wind began blowing. “Hey, Sean, come and take the wheel for a minute!” His father ordered. Sean didn’t want to, not did he want to see that disappointing look on his father’s face. “Uh, year!” Sean locked the sail in place and went to keep the wheel. “Just keep her going straight. I’m going to check something.” Sean held the wheel tightly. Suddenly, the wind changed direction. The boat shook sharply and even tipped (倾斜) to one side. “Dad!” he called, but no response. He didn’t see him anywhere on the sailboat. Just then, the water became calm a little. Sean caught the chance to look the wheel quickly. He looked out at the huge crashing waves. Then he saw it--- a flash of a figure. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his dad! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the bowline knot at his dad. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his dad! Sean reached for the rope that his father had used to teach him sailing knots now to save his father. As he recited the trick his father taught him, he formed the knot and pulled it tight. He knew that his dad’s life depended on his ability to throw the bowline knot accurately. Focused and determined, he aimed the knot towards his dad, who was struggling in the water. He tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the bowline knot at his dad. Using his strength and the support of the rope, Sean’s dad managed to pull himself closer to the boat. Sean’s heart raced with relief as he reached out and grasped his father’s hand, pulling him back on board. Breathing heavily, both father and son embraced, their relief and gratitude palpable. “You saved me, Sean,” his dad whispered, his voice filled with pride and love. Sean couldn’t help but smile, finally feeling the affirmation he had longed for. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公肖恩一直不能记好父亲教他的航行术语和技巧，且一直努力表现，想得到父亲的肯定，在一次与父亲在海上遭遇强风时，父亲不幸落水，肖恩利用从父亲那里学到的知识成功救父亲上船，并得到父亲肯定的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令他惊讶的是，水里的人影是他的爸爸！”可知，第一段可描写肖恩去拿爸爸教他打结时用的绳子，准备救爸爸的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“他把绳子的一端系在船上，把结对准他爸爸。”可知，第二段可描写在肖恩的绳子的帮助下，爸爸成功地爬上了船，最终获救了。 2.续写线索：水里的人影是他的爸爸——去拿父亲教他打结时用的绳子——准备救爸爸—把绳结扔向爸爸——爸爸成功获救——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拯救：save/ rescue ②.依靠：depend on /rely on ③.拥抱：embraced/ hugged 情绪类 ①.感激之情：gratitude/ gratefulness ②.专注的：focused/ concentrated 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he recited the trick his father taught him, he formed the knot and pulled it tight.  （运用了连词As引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Using his strength and the support of the rope, Sean’s dad managed to pull himself closer to the boat.（运用了现在分词作状语） 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏无锡江阴·期中） The Real Champion I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in.

Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world. In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers. Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time.

He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him. “Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Rain drops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining any life.   Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结). something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girl work? It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概). Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time on stage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while.

After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “KNOT a problem.

Everything seemed more colorful than usual. The sky was very blue, and the leaves on the big maple tree were turning yellow and red. “Jacob, wake up!” she called, “Fall is here!” Jacob came in and smiled, “I’m already up. Mom said we could go to the pumpkin field today.” Tyler jumped out of bed and got dressed. They ate breakfast quickly and were very excited to head to the pumpkin field. Once they got there, Tyler ran over to a basket that was full of tiny, orange pumpkins. Each one could fit in her hand. “Let’s get this!” she cried. “No way,” Jacob said, “Those are much too small to carve into a good Jack-O’-Lantern(南瓜灯).” So they kept walking into the field to search for a suitable one. They walked slowly so they wouldn’t trip (绊倒) on the vines or any of the bright orange pumpkins. “What about this one?” Jacob asked. He reached down to pick up a pumpkin. It was so big that he couldn’t even lift it off the ground. Tyler laughed, “How would we get it in the car?” They kept looking, but they could not agree on a perfect pumpkin. There was always something not quite right. Sometimes the stem was too long, or the pumpkin had a flat side. As they were about to give up and head home, Jacob tripped over a pumpkin. Tyler caught his arm before he fell to the ground. They looked at the pumpkin together. It was not too small or too large. It was perfectly round. It had a neat, brown stem that would make a good handle when they cut a cap out of the pumpkin and hollowed(挖) it out to hold a candle. Tyler and Jacob didn’t say a word. They just smiled at each other and reached down to pick up the pumpkin. Together they carried it to the car and headed home. 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。 They put the pumpkin on the kitchen table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom heard the pumpkin fall to the floor and rushed into the kitchen immediately. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 They put the pumpkin on the kitchen table. “Mom, we found the perfect pumpkin,”Tyler said excitedly.

It was a beautiful Jack-O'-Lantern. Mom heard the pumpkin fall to the floor and rushed into the kitchen immediately. She saw the broken pumpkin and the nervous Jacob who explained that he accidentally knocked it over while trying to carry it to the porch. Mom hugged him and told them not to be disappointed and they could always get another pumpkin. But Tyler and Jacob didn't want to give up this one.

In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year-and even when my team was losing 9-0, the coach still kept me on the bench (坐在替补席). However, I once won a medal, which I’ve kept on my desk till today, in the New York City Marathon (马拉松) — a long running race of about 42 kilometers. It’s not a gold medal that I can show off to others proudly. I kept it there because it reminds me that every big goal can always be broken down into individual steps. And when you gather enough steps, you’ll make it to the finish line. Step by step, you can make what seems impossible possible. It was in 2010 that I entered for the New York City Marathon. I’d never run a marathon before. I’d never even run 5 km. So why did I do this? Because I needed a big goal. Caught up in a difficult stage of life, I wanted something to work for, to prove that I could achieve something. So I entered for the preliminary (预赛) running race by which a small number of people are chosen to enter the marathon. Most people worked for years to qualify (有资格). Me? Somehow, my name was drawn. I was in, yet I was nervous, wondering how to make it to the finish line. 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。 I figured the only way to finish 42 km was to start by running just one kilometer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, one cold November morning. I showed up at the starting line with more than 45, 000 other people and ran the marathon. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I figured the only way to finish 42 km was to start by running just one kilometer. Driven by the strong desire to prove myself, I determined to make running a daily routine. But even one kilometer proved too hard.  I ran a few minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my breath.  Instead of backing down, I repeated that for months before I found that I could easily finish one kilometer.  Gradually, that one became two, and then three.... Step by step, I became a runner. Then, one cold November morning, I showed up at the starting line with more than 45,000 other people and ran the marathon. Despite the nervousness at heart, I found myself rushing out at the sound of the starting gun. Did I win? Of course not. Was my time something that “real” runners would consider ridiculously slow? You bet. Did I run the same 42 km as everyone else, cross the finish line with joy, and receive my medal with pride? Absolutely. Life didn’t go any easier after the marathon, but because of the marathon, I had a model for how to approach the difficulties---step by step. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者坚持每天跑步训练，最终成功地跑完马拉松全程并获得奖牌的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想完成42公里的唯一方法就是从一公里开始。”可知，第一段可描写作者每天坚持跑一公里路的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，在11月一个寒冷的早晨，我和其他4.5万多人一起出现在起跑线上，开始跑马拉松。”可知，第二段可描写作者成功地跑完了马拉松全程并获得了奖牌。。 2.续写线索：从一公里开始跑——每天坚持跑——逐渐加长距离——参加马拉松比赛——最终成功跑完全程——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete/ accomplish ②认为：consider/think ③处理：approach/handle/deal with 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/tension/strain ②快乐：joy/delight/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Driven by the strong desire to prove myself, I determined to make running a daily routine.（运用了非谓语动词中的过去分词作状语） [高分句型2] Instead of backing down, I repeated that for months before I found that I could easily finish one kilometer.（运用了连词before引导的时间状语从句） Passage 4 （23-24高一上·江苏常州·期中） When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘). “Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose’s reputation for being impossible to work with. “I’m scheduled to work with you this week.” Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” I asked. Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags. I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled，“That’s not the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt. Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third-year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose. Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do?” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose. Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love. Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away. Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems. She even told me everything about her plan of finding a proper new job in secret.      The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose. One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform. Instead of that, she was wearing street clothes. I looked at her in surprise. “Aren’t you working today?” “I’ve got another job and won’t be working here any more,” she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. “I just come here to say goodbye. You are the one person I will truly miss. You are the one person I wish I could take with me, my dearest friend.” Then she turned abruptly and walked out of the door. Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. That summer, I learned a lesson I’ve never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose: annoying, demanding, unlovable on the outside, yet hurting inside. Just as the saying goes every rose has its thorn, and every man’s character has a part of you that you can’t stand. I’ve found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose, to develop a friendship. 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述作者打暑假工时，遇到了很难相处的年长同事Rose，她很冷漠，说话也刻薄，这种态度让作者很难受。但一天作者准备改变自己对Rose的态度，尽力去爱她。作者对Rose的爱温暖了她，她开始向作者敞开心扉，讲述自己的遭遇。很快作者需要离开医院回学校继续学校。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“一天，当我一个人在医院的一个厨房工作时，Rose进来了，没穿她的蓝色制服。”可知，下文可描写Rose解释为什么今天工作没有穿制服以及她和作者道别。 ②根据第二段首句“虽然我再也没有见过Rose，但我仍然清楚地记得她”可知，下文可描写作者记得Rose的原因——和她相处让作者明白了爱是与人沟通和相处的最好方法。 2.续写线索：Rose出现，未穿制服——询问原因——解释原因——道别——一直记得Rose——感悟 3.词类激活 行为类 ①走出门扣：walk out of the door/step out of the door ②忍受：stand/bear/tolerate 情绪类 ①吃惊地：in surprise/in amazement ②讨厌的：annoying/nasty 【点睛】[高分句型1] “I’ve got another job and won’t be working here any more,” she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] I’ve found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose, to develop a friendship.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） Passage 5 （23-24高一上·江苏泰州姜堰·期中） Jackson’s family hired a driver. The driver’s family came to stay with them in a small house in their backyard. That’s how Jackson met the driver’s eight-year-old son Tom. From the day he met Jackson, Tom became his fan. For Tom, 11-year-old Jackson seemed to be a big boy. He would always follow Jackson around. Tom didn’t go to school. He was admitted to a local government school, but he refused to go. He told Jackson shyly that the teachers only made them copy words from the blackboard. Since he hadn’t learned how to read, he could not understand anything that was written on the blackboard.  Jackson felt sorry for him. On Sunday, Jackson saw Tom sitting under a tree holding an alphabet (字母表) book in his hands. Jackson walked quietly towards him and discovered that Tom was holding the book upside down. Jackson took the book out of Tom’s hands and turned the right side up. “This is how you should read,” he told Tom. Two big tears rolled down Tom’s cheeks. Tom told Jackson, “I want to be like you, but I can’t do anything.” That evening, Jackson told his parents they had to help Tom get into a better school. It was not easy to make Tom admitted to a new school, because the time for admission was over. Luckily, one principal (校长) looked at Tom kindly and admitted him to her school. The next day Tom went to his new school wearing a new shirt. But when Tom returned from school, he was a bit sad. The other children in his class had laughed at him.

Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money?” he thought. Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad. “This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought.

He was not good at his work and failed many times in the exams, and he never knew why he couldn’t catch up with others. One day, Tom and his teacher were walking through the forest. He was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest. He asked his teacher, “Why are most people’s minds restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to calm the mind down?” The teacher looked at Tom, smiled and told him a story: On one beautiful day, an elephant was standing by the shade of a tree, eating its leaves. Suddenly, a small fly came buzzingly and landed on the elephant’s ear. The elephant stayed calm and continued eating, ignoring the fly. The fly flew around the elephant’s ear, buzzing noisily, yet the elephant seemed to be unaffected. This confused the fly, and it asked, “Are you deaf?” “No!” the elephant answered. “Why aren’t you bothered by my buzz?” the fly asked. “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can’t you stay calm just for a few moments?” asked the elephant, and peacefully continued eating the leaves. The fly answered, “Everything I see, hear and feel attracts my attention, and all noises and movements around me affect my behavior.” “What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still, while I am buzzing around your ears?” “I can continue eating peacefully, because my five senses do not disturb my peace.” “How is it possible?” asked the fly amazed and confused. “Because I don’t let them rule my attention,” answered the elephant. “I am in control of my mind and my thoughts, and therefore, I can direct my attention where I want, and ignore any disturbance including your buzz.” “And therefore,” continued the elephant, “I am completely lost in the act of eating, enjoying my food and chewing it peacefully.” 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。 After listening to the story, Tom’s eyes opened wide and smiled. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, he paid his attention to whatever he was doing. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏南通海门中学·期中） Every day, Andrew would do everything in his own way.

He grabbed (抓) an armful of snacks from the kitchen, and then played video games until the sun set. The room started to grow dark. The only light came from the TV, which produced a loud noise. “Andrew!” his mother shouted from the kitchen. “Dinner’s ready!” “Later!” he called back. Later arrived, and Andrew’s mother walked into his room, carrying a plate of food for his dinner.

Ann was my best friend, the only other girl in the neighborhood, and I didn’t want her to go. She sat on my bed, her blue eyes blank. “I’m bored,” she said, slowly playing her thick red hair. She had come to play half an hour ago. “Please don’t go,” I begged her again. “Your mother said you could stay for an hour.” Ann started to get up, then spotted a pair of beautiful Indian boots on my bedside table. With their bright-color and soft leather, the boots were my most cherished possession (珍视的财产). “I’ll stay if you’ll give me those,” Ann said. I hesitated (犹豫不决). I couldn’t imagine parting with the boots. “But Aunt Reba gave them to me,” I said in a low voice. My aunt had been a beautiful, kind woman. I had really loved her. She was never too busy to spend time with me. We made up silly stories and laughed and laughed. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, as I held the soft boots in my hands, I was filled with fond memories of Aunt Reba. “Come on,” pressed Ann. “I’m your best friend.” As if she needed to remind me! I don’t know what came over me, but more than anything, I wanted someone to play with me. I wanted someone to play with so much that I handed Ann the boots! After she put them in her bag, we rode our bikes around the neighborhood for a while. Soon it was time for her to go. Upset at what I had done, I didn’t feel like playing anyway.

Instead, I became a teacher, and seven years into my teaching career at a small school in West Seattle, I finally decided to give up my writing dream. It didn’t mean I stopped writing altogether, but it meant giving up on my first novel. Then one spring, four years later, my seventh graders and I had the chance to meet bestselling author Jamie Ford. After hearing his advice about writing prize-winning stories, I revisited my old dream. I created a novel-writing project the following September when my seventh-grade students became my eighth-graders. Each week, during language arts class, my students spent an hour writing stories. During that hour, I told them that I, their teacher, would be doing the same homework. They were excited to have me working alongside them. Little did they know that I usually spent that hour writing emails to parents, planning the next day’s lessons, and grading papers. During a story-writing period, a student called Kellen came up to me with a question about his book and caught me doing teacher work. He called me out. “Hey! You’re not writing!” he said, both excited and disappointed he’d caught the teacher off task. I admitted (承认) it and got back to my novel. All was well until he caught me a second time during a different story writing period. Again, I had no excuse. I went back to work, and this time I wrote wholeheartedly, truly working on my novel. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150个左右； 2. 续写部分分两段，每段开头已为你写好。 Then it hit me that I needed someone to push me to write.

It sang energetically as the first pale yellow rays of sunshine appeared. “Oh, my god, what is that noise?” Lisa complained to herself, pulling her bed sheets over her head to ignore the sound. It was no use, and she knew it. The loud sound showed the coming of the day. Lisa’s mom knocked twice on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” She whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.” “Ugh,” mumbled (含含糊糊地说) Lisa into her pillow. “What does that even mean?” “It’s just an expression, Honey”, her mom replied. She gave Lisa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Lisa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes. With her mom’s repeated urging, Lisa had no choice but to get herself dressed. She went unwillingly downstairs for breakfast, ate slowly, and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she failed to get a place in the Chess Club. She also missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help at lunchtime. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. As a result, she missed her favourite library time. This day was no fun. The next morning, Lisa was woken up by the same loud noisy song. Instead of ignoring it, today Lisa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily. As she watched, the bird stuck its beak (喙) into the wet ground, and pulled out a wiggling (不停摇摆) worm for breakfast. “Today I am going to be the early bird,” thought Lisa. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At lunchtime, Lisa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 5 （24-25高一上·江苏泰兴·期中） Polly Goodman, 82-year-old, was a rich old woman. Her husband was a businessman and left her a large fortune after his death, so she had no problems supporting herself.

One day, Polly was walking along the beach, like she did every evening near her seaside house, when she noticed a young boy and his little sister playing there. As she was passing by them, she heard their mother calling out to them. “Corey! Daisy! Be careful! Stay away from the water!” Polly noticed their mother resting on a bench, appearing sick and tired. The dark circles under her eyes were quite obvious, and she coughed frequently. Polly always had a desire to have a chat with someone. So she walked carefully towards the mother with a kind smile on her face. “Hi, I’m Polly. I live by the beach.” Polly said. The mother looked up at Polly, feeling a little surprised. The mother told Polly she was Lydia and had worked as a waitress. Lydia further said that she and her children had only recently moved to that location because her children had always wanted to see the ocean. Then Lydia stopped to cough heavily. After she calmed down, it seemed she wanted to say something, but stopped as if there was something difficult to tell. Polly did not follow up, saying goodbye and left. When Polly went to the beach the next day, she saw the kids again, but this time their mother wasn’t with them. She observed them playing by themselves until late in the evening before heading home. The third day came and again the two kids played at the seaside until late in the evening, still without their mother s company. Then the elder brother was about to lead the sister back home. Out of curiosity and care Polly decided to follow them to their house. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Upon arrival, the kids invited Polly inside. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Polly took the mother to the hospital her son worked in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 6 （23-24高一上·江苏前黄高级中学·期中） Jatin and his younger sister, Neha, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jatin took Neha’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed. So he begged his sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin’ s running shoes. Neha’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jatin often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Jatin from behind and Jatin fell on the ground. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，开头已给出。 Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 7 （23-24高一上·江苏泰州二中·期中） Jenny hated reading aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical（有魔力的）. It was time to go home.”Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed（叹气）. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path. Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots, of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water...” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really has something magic about it. The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.” 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。 Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 8 （23-24高一上·江苏南京鼓楼·期中） Sean turned to look at his father, who was standing confidently on his new sailboat. Sean hated it that he couldn’t remember all of the sailing terms (术语) and skills his dad taught him. However, he pushed himself to ask, expecting his father’s response. “Which way are we turning?” “We’re coming about” his father said firmly. “That means we are turning into the wild. That way.” His father said, pointing to the right side of the boat. “Time for you to make a bowline knot (单套结)!” Sean reached for a rope and tried his best to make one. His father had taught him the skill dozens of times, which could not only help moor (停泊) the boat but also save everyone in emergency. After practising several times, he finally knew how to do this correctly and quickly. He looked back at his father, hoping for a praise. But his dad was looking up at the sail (帆), not at him. He untied the knot and dropped the rope under the seat, filled with a sense of loss. He looked up at the sky. Dark clouds gathered overhead and the wind began blowing. “Hey, Sean, come and take the wheel for a minute!” His father ordered. Sean didn’t want to, not did he want to see that disappointing look on his father’s face. “Uh, year!” Sean locked the sail in place and went to keep the wheel. “Just keep her going straight. I’m going to check something.” Sean held the wheel tightly. Suddenly, the wind changed direction. The boat shook sharply and even tipped (倾斜) to one side. “Dad!” he called, but no response. He didn’t see him anywhere on the sailboat. Just then, the water became calm a little. Sean caught the chance to look the wheel quickly. He looked out at the huge crashing waves. Then he saw it--- a flash of a figure. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his dad! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the bowline knot at his dad. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题01 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏无锡江阴·期中） The Real Champion I like running and for me, success was winning every race I participated in. My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world. In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers. Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.” The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋). 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I fell hard to the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题02 人与自我——家人和亲人 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏南京·期中） My New Brother I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with my brother Henry. He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being on stage with him. “Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there?” She glared at me, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Rain drops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining any life.   Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (绳结). something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girl work? It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概). Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time on stage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it this difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more. Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the draw string on my skirt. However, my hands are full. If only someone could help me out. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题03 人与自我——个人经历 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏镇江·期中） Jenny hated reading aloud in class.

Everything seemed more colorful than usual. The sky was very blue, and the leaves on the big maple tree were turning yellow and red. “Jacob, wake up!” she called, “Fall is here!” Jacob came in and smiled, “I’m already up. Mom said we could go to the pumpkin field today.” Tyler jumped out of bed and got dressed. They ate breakfast quickly and were very excited to head to the pumpkin field. Once they got there, Tyler ran over to a basket that was full of tiny, orange pumpkins. Each one could fit in her hand. “Let’s get this!” she cried. “No way,” Jacob said, “Those are much too small to carve into a good Jack-O’-Lantern(南瓜灯).” So they kept walking into the field to search for a suitable one. They walked slowly so they wouldn’t trip (绊倒) on the vines or any of the bright orange pumpkins. “What about this one?” Jacob asked. He reached down to pick up a pumpkin. It was so big that he couldn’t even lift it off the ground. Tyler laughed, “How would we get it in the car?” They kept looking, but they could not agree on a perfect pumpkin. There was always something not quite right. Sometimes the stem was too long, or the pumpkin had a flat side. As they were about to give up and head home, Jacob tripped over a pumpkin. Tyler caught his arm before he fell to the ground. They looked at the pumpkin together. It was not too small or too large. It was perfectly round. It had a neat, brown stem that would make a good handle when they cut a cap out of the pumpkin and hollowed(挖) it out to hold a candle. Tyler and Jacob didn’t say a word. They just smiled at each other and reached down to pick up the pumpkin. Together they carried it to the car and headed home. 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。 They put the pumpkin on the kitchen table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom heard the pumpkin fall to the floor and rushed into the kitchen immediately. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （23-24高一上·江苏常州金坛·期中） I am not good at sports. In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year-and even when my team was losing 9-0, the coach still kept me on the bench (坐在替补席). However, I once won a medal, which I’ve kept on my desk till today, in the New York City Marathon (马拉松) — a long running race of about 42 kilometers. It’s not a gold medal that I can show off to others proudly. I kept it there because it reminds me that every big goal can always be broken down into individual steps. And when you gather enough steps, you’ll make it to the finish line. Step by step, you can make what seems impossible possible. It was in 2010 that I entered for the New York City Marathon. I’d never run a marathon before. I’d never even run 5 km. So why did I do this? Because I needed a big goal. Caught up in a difficult stage of life, I wanted something to work for, to prove that I could achieve something. So I entered for the preliminary (预赛) running race by which a small number of people are chosen to enter the marathon. Most people worked for years to qualify (有资格). Me? Somehow, my name was drawn. I was in, yet I was nervous, wondering how to make it to the finish line. 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。 I figured the only way to finish 42 km was to start by running just one kilometer. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, one cold November morning. I showed up at the starting line with more than 45, 000 other people and ran the marathon. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 （23-24高一上·江苏常州·期中） When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘). “Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose’s reputation for being impossible to work with. “I’m scheduled to work with you this week.” Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” I asked. Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags. I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled，“That’s not the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt. Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third-year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose. Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do?” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose. Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love. Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away. Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems. She even told me everything about her plan of finding a proper new job in secret.      The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose. One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 5 （23-24高一上·江苏泰州姜堰·期中） Jackson’s family hired a driver.

For Tom, 11-year-old Jackson seemed to be a big boy. He would always follow Jackson around. Tom didn’t go to school. He was admitted to a local government school, but he refused to go.

Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money?” he thought. Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad. “This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought. Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money.
