专题09 读后续写 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都市简阳市成都市简阳实验学校（成都石室阳安学校）・期中) At San Fernando Elementary School in Los Angeles, Mrs. Levinson always did something special for her students during the holiday season. This tradition started with Jessie the Elf, a festive doll that brought small gifts to brighten people’s lives amid hardships. Mrs. Levinson knew that many of her students came from low-income families, and some of them even experienced homelessness, hunger, or abuse. She wanted to give them a sense of joy and hope, and show them that someone cared for them. Every morning, the students would find Jessie in a different spot in the classroom, holding a new surprise for them. Sometimes it was a candy cane, sometimes it was a pencil, and sometimes it was a handwritten note of encouragement. The students loved Jessie and looked forward to seeing what she had for them each day. However, an unexpected financial crisis severely impacted Mrs. Levinson’s own resources. Her husband lost his job, and they had to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Should she continue buying gifts for the kids or pay her heavy mortgage (抵押贷款)? After a brief inner conflict, she chose to sacrifice her own needs and continued the classroom tradition, hoping that the gifts would bring some joy and hope to the kids who had so little. Yet, what happened afterwards made her choice even more challenging. Transitioning to online classes, she discovered a heartbreaking fact: many students couldn’t attend online classes due to the inability to afford household Internet. She felt helpless and frustrated, knowing that they were missing out on their education and their connection with their classmates and teachers. She also worried about their mental health and well-being. Just as Mrs. Levinson felt sad, she had a good idea. She decided to launch a fundraising campaign (筹款活动) on the Nextdoor App, urging neighbors to help students by covering their Internet costs. She explained the situation and asked for donations of any amount. 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。 To her surprise, the campaign received much more than the target amount. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the story spread throughout the community, more and more people were touched by Mrs. Levinson’s kindness and generosity. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: To her surprise, the campaign received much more than the target amount.

Paragraph 2: As the story spread throughout the community, more and more people were touched by Mrs. Levinson’s kindness and generosity.

Some of them sent her thank-you cards and messages, some of them donated more money and resources, and some of them even offered to volunteer as tutors for the kids.

After a few busy days there, we were ready to get home. We left the activity centre looking to get a taxi with what felt like plenty of time to make our flight. No sooner had we left the building than it began to rain. “A little rain never hurt anyone,” we thought. Besides, we were about to start a business of inspiring people, so we could not let a little bad weather steal our happiness. After a while with no luck finding an empty taxi, we suddenly realized, “It’s five o’clock in New York city! This is rush hour traffic. We may never get a taxi.” My friend then remembered she had saved the van(面包车) company that had driven us here from the airport several days earlier. We gave them a call. Over an hour later, our van finally arrived and took us to the airport. A great relief came upon us when we arrived at the gate to discover the flight had been put off half an hour. Much to our disappointment, however, 20 minutes later, we discovered our flight put off again because of the bad weather in another state. Although we were tired and ready to get home, we refused to end our trip unhappily. Instead, we decided to make the most of our wait and took a nearby seat to relax and chat about our trip. During the long wait, some annoyed passengers approached the airline employees and expressed their dissatisfaction. We were impressed with the patience with which the airline dealt with each customer’s concern. I admit, at this point, we were fighting ourselves to not let the annoyance get to us, yet somehow we managed to smile. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Well into the middle of the night, airline employees began bringing out refreshments(茶点) to the passengers. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As my friend and I sat back down after serving all the passengers, an airline attendant walked over to as. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Well into the middle of the night, airline employees began bringing out refreshments(茶点) to the passengers.

As my friend and I sat back down after serving all the passengers, an airline attendant walked over to us. He thanked us for our help and told us how much the attendants had appreciated our positive attitude. He then asked our boarding passes, telling us the airline wanted to upgrade us to First Class!

It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old. Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else. By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work-fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said, “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write ” In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said, “no one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you. “But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise. ” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing. One day, a young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes, where people can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98. I thought of my friends and neighbors and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action. 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。 Paragraph 1: The young man drove me to _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I’m still going to school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me. Through chatting, I learned that they had all been longing to read and write but never had the chance to go to school. As the bell rang, in came the teacher, a woman well past forty. After a warm and brief greeting, we started our lesson. First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, no one laughed at me. Everyone helped each other with open-hearted enjoyment. Paragraph 2: I’m still going to school. Though faced with the most challenging event of my life, I’m full of courage and confidence. With the generous help of my teacher, friends and my children, I have made huge progress in study. Now I’m never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all. Besides, I’m eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes, because it’s never too late to learn. 【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者由于小时候生活穷没有读过书，成年后养家艰辛没时间读书，所以一辈子隐瞒自己没读过书的事实，98岁时看到成年人教育决定重返课堂接受教育。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这个年轻人把我送到……”可知，第一段可描写进入课堂后的所见所闻，即老师和同学们的情况。要详细描述同学们都是渴望读书的老年人们，都珍惜这次读书的机会；老师的授课态度和授课内容等。 ②由第二段首句内容“我仍然要去上学。”可知，第二段可描写作者对这次上学的态度，觉得是机会也是挑战。作者充满勇气和自信，取得了大的进步。文章最后希望更多的老年人去学习，活到老学到老。 2.续写线索：作者被带进教室——作者开始上课——大家都相互帮助——作者继续上学——作者学习取得进步——作者鼓励更多老年人上学 3.词汇激活 行为类 挤满：be crowded with / be packed with 渴望：long to/ yearn for 能够：be able to/ be capable of 情绪类 害羞：shy/ bashful 乐趣：enjoyment/ joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, no one laughed at me.

You look like a little girl!” Mr. Cooper asked curiously. The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame, but he knew he had to keep growing it for his reasons. The previous year, Joe had decided to grow his hair, a decision that hadn’t attracted much attention due to the start of the summer holidays. However, now that he was back at school, everyone saw how overgrown his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail. Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop. Every day, the boys in his class teased him, believing he simply wanted to be different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home each day in tears, but he never told the truth to his parents. Instead, he started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point. Mrs. Burns, the art teacher, was relatively new at the school. One day, after everyone had left for recess (课间休息) she found Joe crying. “Joe, what’s going on? Why are you growing your hair so long?” she asked gently. “Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer and lost their hair,” Joe explained. After a brief pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young volunteers to grow hair and donate it. They would use the donated hair to create beautiful wigs (假发) for those unfortunate children. Since then, I’ve been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my class often laugh at me when seeing my long hair.” Touched by his story, Mrs. Burns asked, “Do your classmates know why you’re growing your hair?” Joe shook his head, telling that no one had ever asked him. “Do you have any photos of the children in the hospital?” she asked. Joe nodded and quickly took a few out from his school bag. Mrs. Burns took them from Joe’s hands and looked at them carefully. What came into her eyes were some children lying in bed, most of whom were smiling bravely. Deeply touched, she gave Joe a huge hug. “Joe, you should be proud of yourself for helping others. Let me help you!” She said gently, her voice full of admiration. When the bell rang, Joe’s classmates hurriedly returned to the classroom. Having noted that everyone was seated, Mrs. Burns showed them photos of those poor kids. After hearing the story, Joe’s classmates were all moved, with tears welling up in their eyes. Suddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. “Joe, I’m sorry for teasing you. I didn’t know you were doing this for such a good reason,” he apologized in a sincere voice. Following him, the rest of the boys also expressed their admiration for Joe’s courage and kindness. Tears rushed down the face of Joe and many others. The rest of the day, all the kids asked Joe about his donation and what it was like. The boys planned to grow their hair as well, and the girls determined to join in the donation. Not only did they know more about Joe’s act of kindness, but also learned the essence of empathy and understanding. 【导语】本文以Joe的长发为线索展开，讲述了Joe因留长发被同学嘲笑，实则是为癌症儿童捐赠头发做假发。艺术老师Mrs. Burns得知真相后，向全班展示了医院儿童的照片，同学们深受感动。 【解析】1.段落续写： 由段首句内容“突然，一个男孩站起来，冲向Joe，拥抱了他一下。”可知，第一段可描写同学们纷纷向Joe道歉并表达敬意，Joe感动落泪，同学们开始询问他的捐赠经历，并计划加入他的行列。 2.续写线索：男孩拥抱Joe并道歉——其他同学表达敬意——Joe感动落泪——同学们询问捐赠经历——同学们计划加入捐赠 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry ②表达：express/convey ③询问：ask/inquire ④计划：plan/intend 情绪类 ①真诚：sincere/genuine ②敬佩：admiration/respect ③下定决心：determine/make up one’s mind 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following him, the rest of the boys also expressed their admiration for Joe’s courage and kindness.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) [高分句型2] Not only did they know more about Joe’s act of kindness, but also learned the essence of empathy and understanding.(运用了部分倒装结构和并列连词not only…but also…) Passage 5 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都列五中学・期中) Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school. David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group. The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team. The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place. 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。 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. In the whole process, David was active and creative. His behavior and attitude also influenced other students in the team. They collected more than 2,000 cans of food in just two hours, which set a new school record. They all felt happy. After that, David led a second project, collecting 300 blankets and 1,000 pairs of shoes for the homeless, and then, a third one. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article, in which David’s picture was up for doing something greater. After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. He fully demonstrated his ability. All the teachers were surprised. They found that great changes were taking place on David. After he graduated from college, he opened his own company, where most workers were local people from his community. He proved his ability by his actions. From David’s story, we firmly believe that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending and once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. 【导语】本文讲述了主人公大卫是高中最有名的捣蛋鬼，老师们都不喜欢他。一次，学校发起了一项旨在让学生更多地参与社区活动的项目，大卫被吸引并参与讨论，小组的其他学生对他的看法表示肯定，这激发了大卫的积极性，最终，他加入了其中一个项目团队并成为该团队的联合主席。团队的第一个社区服务项目是大卫负责的，但老师们怀疑大卫的能力。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两周后，大卫带领团队中的20名学生为无家可归者收集食物。”可知，第一段可描写大卫在团队中的表现及取得的成果。 ②由第二段首句内容“大卫的照片登上报纸后，每个人都看到了他的巨大变化。”可知，第二段可描写大卫的变化和我们从大卫的经历中领悟到的道理。 2.续写线索：在活动中的努力——取得的成果——继续努力——大卫的事迹被报纸报道——老师们看到了大卫的变化——大学毕业后的成就——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.影响：influence/affect ②.报道：cover/report ③.相信：believe/trust 情绪类 ①.高兴的：happy/pleased ②.惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession. Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition. The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn’t know how to approach her Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”. Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present. In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn’t do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn’t recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑) . To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn’t take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her. 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。 Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Because I want to be like you guys!

There was a complete silence in the classroom, and Meredith’s classmates looked at each other. When she recited, she made a mistake. Before Mr. White could say a word, she threw her walker aside and started doing push-ups. Mr. White wanted to stop her, but chose to stand by somehow. Then the girl stood up, continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly. When she finished, a student asked, “Meredith, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!” “Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal,” Meredith said. Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Meredith, well done! We are all teenagers! We all get in trouble time to time. ” “Thank you,” Meredith said as a big smile spread across her face. The rest of the students smiled, too. Meredith got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了梅雷迪思是一名需要使用助行器的患有疾病的学生，她在怀特先生的课堂上由于古诗背诵错误，自愿接受惩罚，不顾劝阻完成俯卧撑从而得到同学们的爱和尊重的故事。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“梅雷迪思用助行器走到了全班的最前面。”可知，第一段可描写梅雷迪思背诵古诗的情形，同时出错后仍坚持要做俯卧撑。 ②由第二段首句内容““因为我想像你们一样!”要正常，”梅雷迪思说。”可知，第二段可描写梅雷迪思解释做俯卧撑的原因并得到同学们的爱和尊重。 2.续写线索：梅雷迪思走到了全班的最前面——梅雷迪思背诵出错——梅雷迪思做俯卧撑——同学们感到疑惑——梅雷迪思解释原因——梅雷迪思得到爱和尊重 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①犯错误：make a mistake/commit an error ②完成：finish/complete ③陷入麻烦：get in trouble/run into trouble/encounter a problem 情绪类 ①脸上露出了灿烂的笑容：a big smile spread across her face/her face lit up with a broad smile ②喜爱：love/affection 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she recited, she made a mistake. （运用了when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Before Mr. White could say a word, she threw her walker aside and started doing push-ups.（运用了before引导的时间状语从句） Passage 2 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都市金牛区成都七中万达集团学校联考・期中) A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they were planning for Mother’s Day.

They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the  sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.

His name was Bill and he was a very naughty boy, so no one liked him at all. He found that Charlie was a quiet boy, so he started making trouble for his new classmate. But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain to the class teacher. When Charlie’s parents learned about Bill, they wanted to go to school and complain about this naughty boy’s behavior. But Charlie stopped them and said, “Mom, Dad, please do not worry. Everything will be all right.” Days went by and the time came for the annual sports meeting at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he was participating in a number of events. Bill was participating in the sack race (套袋跑), though he could not run very fast due to his fat body. When Bill saw that Charlie won first prize in the 100-meter race, he felt very jealous (妒忌的) and decided that he would not let it happen in the sack race. As planned, Bill tried to push Charlie while jumping on the track during the sack race. But he lost his balance and fell down! His leg was badly injured and he could not even stand up by himself. But as he was unpopular among his friends, no one turned up to help him! 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。 Charlie noticed what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Charlie took Bill to the school doctor. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Charlie noticed what had happened. At that moment, he was far ahead of the other racers and was close to winning the race. However, the moment he saw Bill got injured was struggling to get up, he abandoned the race and turned back to help him. The little boy had to make a great effort to pull Bill up, as he was much larger in size. As a result, Charlie lost the race, which made his classmates a little disappointed. Charlie took Bill to the school doctor. At the doctor’s, Bill was carefully checked and was given some treatment. “You lost this sack race only because of me!” said Bill, after coming out of the doctor’s. “My mom tells me that helping a friend is more important than winning a race,” answered Charlie. Deeply touched by his reply, Bill promised to be a good boy like Charlie. After that, they became good friends and everybody was quite surprised at Bill’s big change. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Charlie因为搬家进入一个新学校，因为他乖巧懂事、友好聪明，大家都很喜欢他。但是有一个名叫Bill的调皮男孩子不喜欢他，甚至因为Charlie跑步比赛拿第一名而嫉妒他。并计划在套袋跑比赛中使坏推倒Charlie。没想到的是，Charlie没摔倒，Bill自己却摔倒了。Charlie本来即将赢得第一名，但是他为了去帮Bill放弃了比赛。Bill因此被打动，不再使坏，还立志成为Charlie一样优秀的孩子。他们俩也成为了好朋友。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Charlie注意到发生了什么。”可知，第一段可描写Charlie注意到Bill摔倒后，放弃比赛拿奖，前去帮忙。 ②由第二段首句内容“Charlie把Bill送到了校医那儿。”可知，第二段可描写Charlie如何把Bill送到医生那里，然后Bill因此而被改变。 2.续写线索：Charlie搬家进入新学校——被同学Bill欺负——Charlie比赛获奖，Bill嫉妒，计划使坏——Bill摔倒，Charlie弃赛帮忙——Bill就医——Bill改变，二人成为好朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①转移：shift to/move to ②.知道：learn about/know/be aware of ③.参加：participate in/take part in 情绪类 ①.挣扎做某事：struggle to do/try hard to do ②.对……感到震惊：be surprised at/be shocked at 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn’t at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my innocent son.

His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding? Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said aloud, “I promise to make you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way.” 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位80岁老父亲在向45岁的儿子问了四次同样的问题后，儿子变得不耐烦甚至恼怒，老父亲拿出以前的日记本给儿子看，儿子读完其中一页日记后，儿子回想起自己小时候同一个问题问了23遍，父亲仍然耐心解释。因此儿子感到愧疚，向父亲道歉，希望父亲原谅他。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看完日记，儿子热泪盈眶，回忆起和父亲坐在一起的日子。”可知，本段应首先描写儿子读完日记的感悟与反思，回想过去和父亲在一起的日子，父亲耐心地教自己。再结合续写第二段提示语可知，儿子反思自己的行为，感到羞愧。 ②由第二段首句内容“儿子羞愧地跪在父亲面前。”可知，第二段首先要描写儿子向父亲道歉，请求父亲的原谅。结合作者的反思和读后续写正向发展原则可知，父亲原谅了儿子，儿子也许诺赡养父亲。 2.续写线索：小时候父亲耐心教儿子——儿子反思自己行为并感到愧疚——向父亲道歉，请求原谅——许诺赡养父亲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：began/started/initiate ②大喊：shout/yell/bawl/exclaim ③承诺：promise/commit/make a commitment/give one’s word 情绪类 ①热泪盈眶：be filled with tears/cry one’s eyes out/tears well up in one’s eyes ②道歉：made an apology/apologized to sb./said sorry to sb. 【点睛】[高分句型1] His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just 4 times!

We did the housework early that night. So I figured Dad wanted extra time for us to spend together. Instead, he dressed himself again and went outside. “Come on, Elizabeth,” he said eagerly. “Dress yourself warmly! It’s cold outside.” Outside, I became even more upset. Not only wasn’t I getting the dress, now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. There, in front of the house, already was a big sled (雪橇). Whatever we were going to do wasn’t going to be a quick job. So I unwillingly climbed up and sat next to a big box, the cold already biting at me. We pulled in front of the woodshed (柴棚) and started loading wood into the box. Finally, I asked, “Dad, what are you doing?” “Have you been to Mrs. Clark’s lately?” he asked. Mrs. Clark lived about two miles down the road from us. Her husband had passed away the year before, leaving her with three children to raise on her own. “Yeah,” I said. “Why?” “I rode by just today,” Dad said. “Little Jake was out digging around in the woodpile (柴火堆), trying to find a few pieces of wood to struggle through the cold winter. They’re out of wood, Elizabeth.” That’s all he said. Then Dad went to the kitchen, fetching a big bag of flour, a side of bacon and something else in a small bag and asking me to load them into the big box too. I tried to think through what my dad was doing. We did have a big woodpile, meat and flour, so we could spare some, but I knew we didn’t have any money. Mrs. Clark had closer neighbors than us. Why was it our concern? Nearly half an hour later, we made it to her house. 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。 Then we unloaded the wood behind the Clarks’ house and knocked on the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big box was opened. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then we unloaded the wood and knocked on the door. A weak voice said, “Who is it?“ Immediately my dad smiled, “Christmas gifts!” Shortly after, Mrs. Clark slowly opened the door. At the sight of us, she felt a little confused but happy. Obviously, a heavy freezing cold blanketed the room, and the three children crowded together to keep warm in front of the little fire in the fireplace. Seeing that, a sense of guilt came over me. Just then, my dad was ready to open the box. The big box was opened. Delighted and excited, my dad announced, “Surprise!” Upon hearing what he said, the children jumped to their feet and their faces lit up, “We’re dreaming!” My dad handed them the gifts and in the meanwhile, I put some wood in the fireplace. We all felt the warmth surging through our bodies. It dawned on me that my dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress, and it was also he that showed me the true meaning of giving. 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开。作者渴望得到一条新裙子作为圣诞节礼物，却被父亲告知没钱买裙子，因此感到很伤心。父亲还叫她一起去一位邻居家送圣诞节礼物，因为自己家也很穷，作者很不理解。 【解析】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“然后我们在克拉克家后面卸下了木头，敲了敲门。”可知，本段可描写“我”见到 Mrs. Clark的情景和感想。 ②根据第二段首句“木箱被打开了。”可知，本段可描写圣诞礼物是什么以及“我”的感悟。 2.续写线索：卸下木头——敲门——开门后的所见所感——箱子被打开——送礼物——“我”的感受——升华主 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①保温：keep warm/ stay warm ②宣布： announce/ proclaim/ declare ③递：hand/ pass 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/ joyful/ delighted/ glad ②困惑的：confused/ puzzled 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing that, a sense of guilt came over me.( 运用了现在分词Seeing作状语) 【高分句型2】Upon hearing what he said, the children jumped to their feet and their faces lit up,“ We’re dreaming!”( 运用了what引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型3】It dawned on me that my dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress, and it was also he that showed me the true meaning of giving.

The noise in the class died down as we turned toward her. “We’re going to help a charity to collect money by ringing a bell. Each of you will ring it for four hours,” she announced. As the words left her lips, complaints could be heard around the room. Unwillingly, I dug for my planner and look notes. Four hours of ringing a stupid bell. Four hours that I could be studying for the SAT. Was this supposed to be a joke? I joined the students around the table and signed up for 1he first day of break-to get it over with. A few weeks later, I was standing next to the big blue-and-white Walmart. There was another guy holding a jar across from me. Great, I was going to be stuck here ringing a bell with a guy who was trying to get donations for another charity. To top it off, it was only about 4.4℃. Slowly, I put on the red dress bearing the symbol of ow charity. I hoped that I already spent two minutes doing that, Ring! Ring! A group of older women came up with their walking sticks to drop in some change. А man with а broad-brimmed bat came by and put some coins in. I checked my phone. Just 10 minutes had passed. A strong bitterly-cold wind blew against my freezing face. I was starting to regret ignoring my mom’s advice to wear a scarf. I looked up, wishing that time would pass more quickly. A few birds swept around the poles. The sky was gently blue. Palm trees waved in the cold wind. How comfortable it might be to curl(蜷缩)up with a hot cup of tea and a book on the cozy sofa. Then another ring brought me back to reality. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me. I saw his unbalanced shoulders and awkward figure. His hair was a mess and his shirt was dirty. I stopped ringing the bell, wondering what he was going to do. He pulled some change out of his worn pocket and reached towards the bucket. I couldn’t help but say, “Thank you, sir.” He turned to smile. The money he donated was not a lot, but it was clearly a lot to him. This act of charity, though not much, was worth so much more than donations given by those who were better off. Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily. The bell rang so merrily that it attracted more people. I broadly smiled at everyone who approached me, feeling me shameful inside about my unwillingness and resistance when given the task. It was still chilly but I was bathed in the sunshine of kindness.

By the time I was 18 I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(惯例). I would go out shopping and buy enough food for one or two families. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the poorest neighborhood and just knock on a door, and would always include a note saying “All that I ask in return is that you take good enough care of yourself so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of money I’ve ever earned, especially one such experience in New York City. Several years ago I was in New York City with my newly married wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family. Normally she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were stuck here in a hotel room. I said, “Honey, look, why don’t we decorate some lives today instead of some trees?” When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited. I said, “Let’s go someplace where we can really appreciate who we are, what we are able to do and what we can really give. Let’s go to the poor neighborhood Harlem and feed some people there in need. We’ll go buy enough food for six or seven families for 30 days. We’ve got enough. Let’s go do it!” We started by getting a van, but there seemed no vans in all of New York City. The rent-a-car places were all out of vans. My wife was disappointed, and I said, “Look, the bottom line is that if we want something, we can make it happen! All we have to do is take action. There are plenty of vans here in New York City. Look down at the street. Do you see all those vans? Let’s go get one!” My wife agreed and we took action. We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street. I learned something about New York drivers that day: they don’t stop; they speed up. Then we tried waiting by the light. We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people. Every time the driver would look away quickly, furiously roll up the window and pull away without saying anything. My wife was ready to give up, but I said, “It’s the law of averages: somebody is going to say yes.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes.

Her husband died two years ago. She had no children and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and my sister Laurel and I considered her our special friend. One December, Mrs. Miller was ill in hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we wondered what to make for Mrs. Miller. We couldn’t bear seeing her come home before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. Then we lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared. I was in Miss Johnson’s sixth grade class that year, and we decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰物) we’d made in art class. It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss Johnson said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We’d each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the box she had prepared. On the last day of school before vacation, she’d draw a name from the box, and that student could take the tree home. Great! That was exactly what I was longing for! So I wrote my name “Helen Wheeler” neatly on a piece of paper and folded it carefully. As I put it into the box, I whispered to Miss Johnson that I really hoped I’d win the tree because my sister and I wanted to give it to our neighbor who was sick and lonely. Though there were 30 children in the class and each might win the tree, I was somehow certain that I would get it because our cause was good: We wanted to make Mrs. Miller happy. The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but that day I persuaded Mom to pick us up in her car after school in case I really got the tree. 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。 Paragraph 1: Before school was over, Miss Johnson announced it was time for the drawing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next evening we welcomed Mrs. Miller back at her door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before school was over, Miss Johnson announced it was time for the drawing. My heart beat fast as Miss Johnson put her hand into the box and drew one folded piece of paper out. Then she unfolded the paper, looked at it and announced. “Helen has won the tree!” I was beside myself with excitement! And I’ll never forget the astonishment on my mother’s face as my sister and I carried the tree to her car. Since Mom had a key to Mrs. Miller’s house, we took the tree straight to her living room and set it up on a table. It looked so beautiful! The next evening we welcomed Mrs. Miller back at her door. She slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights, greeted by the sparkling Christmas tree. Mrs. Miller was rooted to the spot, looking surprised. Then a sweet smile appeared on her face and tears welled up in her eyes. “Thank you so much.” she said softly. While Laurel and I were excitedly telling the story to our parents, it suddenly dawned on me that Miss Johnson had helped me in a secret way: Though she had announced my name, she never showed anyone what was written on that piece of paper! 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了米勒夫人是作者妹妹劳蕾尔和作者小时候的邻居，米勒夫人住院了，于是作者决定在圣诞节的时候给她布置屋子。作者最后用抽到的圣诞树布置了米勒夫人的屋子，米勒夫人非常感动。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学前，约翰逊小姐宣布抽签时间到了。”可知，第一段可描写作者他们抽到圣诞树的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天晚上，我们在米勒夫人的门口迎接她。”可知，第二段可描写米勒夫人看到圣诞树的反应以及作者反应过来老师秘密帮助了自己。 2.续写线索：宣布抽签——抽到圣诞树——布置圣诞树——米勒夫人回家——米勒夫人感动——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 跳动：beat/ pound 打开：unfold/open 出现：appear/show up 情绪类 激动：with excitement /excitedly 惊讶：surprised / astonishment/amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Since Mom had a key to Mrs. Miller’s house, we took the tree straight to her living room and set it up on a table.

Ms. Amanda, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to hold an art competition,” she announced. Amanda was a great teacher, and Ella liked her a lot. But this announcement made Ella nervous. “Everyone in the school will have to create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of art work we have been studying.” Ms. Amanda was quite excited when she spoke while Ella found herself sitting lower in her chair. Ella had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. As Friday drew near, Ella felt frightened. She knew she couldn’t draw or paint well enough to make something that would stand out. So after school Ella asked Ms. Amanda if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Ella,” Ms. Amanda said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Amanda smiled at her: “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings. It isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” Ella finally decided to face her fears and gave it a try. When Ella arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Amanda’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Ella wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Ella stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create something out of crumpled paper? The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball, inspiring Ella to explore a new way of creativity. Without the need for drawing, painting, or cutting, she crafted numerous paper balls, skillfully glued them together and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. Wearing a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper, the snowman looked wonderful. Ella felt a deep sense of satisfaction with her finished project. 注意： 1．续写词数应100字左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library.

They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared. One evening, as Lily walked home from an art class, she noticed Susan sitting alone on the side of the road, looking deep in thought. She hesitated but then gathered up the courage to approach her. “Mind if I sit down?” she asked softly.

They were happy to be able to bridge the gap between each other. After talking, they came up with a plan to rebuild their relationship. Susan decided to try to understand painting, while Lily decided to try to understand science. After school, they went home together.

It had belonged to his dad, who had passed it down to him when Jackson turned ten. At the time, Jackson didn’t care much for baseball. He found it boring and never understood why his dad loved it so much. It was just a game where you threw a ball around, hit it, and then ran. What was the big deal? Every Saturday morning, Jackson’s dad would invite him to toss (投、掷、抛) a ball around in the backyard. “Come on, champ,” he’d say, with a big smile that made it hard to say no. “Let’s have some fun!” Jackson would sigh, dragging his feet as if he were walking to his doom (厄运). Once they got outside, his dad would hand him the glove. Jackson didn’t understand why his dad insisted on doing this every weekend. He didn’t see the point of throwing a ball back and forth, especially when he could be inside playing video games or hanging out with his friends. His dad, however, never seemed to mind Jackson’s unwillingness to catch the ball. With a patient smile, he would gently toss the ball and encourage, “One day, you’ll get it.” Despite his dad’s optimism, Jackson struggled with the oversized and stiff glove, constantly complaining,” I’m no good at this,” and throwing it aside in frustration (沮丧). Yet, his dad didn’t give up, always picking up the glove and placing it back in Jackson’s hand, saying, “You’ll get there. Just takes practice.” These moments, although not fully appreciated by Jackson at the time, were invaluable to his dad, who was not only teaching him baseball but also the values of patience, perseverance, and the importance of spending quality time together. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为120左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Then, when Jackson turned fourteen, everything changed as his dad suddenly passed away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 One afternoon, when Jackson was cleaning his room, he stood there for a long time, staring at the glove, feeling its weight. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Then, when Jackson turned fourteen, everything changed as his dad suddenly passed away. It happened so quickly that Jackson barely had time to process it. It was the hardest thing Jackson had ever gone through. The house felt cold and silent. Everywhere Jackson looked, he saw reminders of his dad, especially the old baseball glove sitting on Jackson’s shelf, gathering dust. For weeks, Jackson couldn’t bring himself to touch the glove. One afternoon, when Jackson was cleaning his room, he stood there for a long time, staring at the glove, feeling its weight. Memories of his dad came flooding back. The glove wasn’t just an object anymore, but also a reminder of his dad’ s love. Jackson walked outside with the glove in hand. The backyard felt strange without his dad, but somehow, it also felt comforting, like being there brought him closer to his father. At that moment, Jackson made a decision — try out for the school baseball team. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jackson与父亲之间的棒球手套故事，展现了父子之间的情感纽带以及父亲通过棒球手套传递给Jackson的耐心、毅力和共度时光的重要性。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，当Jackson十四岁时，一切都变了，因为他的父亲突然去世了。”以及第二段首句内容“一天下午，当Jackson在打扫房间时，他站在那里盯着那只手套看了很久，感受着它的重量。”可知，第一段可描写Jackson一直没办法接受父亲的过世，更加不愿意碰那双棒球手套。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天下午，当Jackson在打扫房间时，他站在那里盯着那只手套看了很久，感受着它的重量。”可知，第二段可描写Jackson突然想到父亲和自己度过的美好时光，突然明白了手套就是父亲的爱。 2.续写线索：父亲突然去世——无法接受父亲的过世——每一处都是对父亲的回忆——更不愿意接触那双棒球手套——打扫的时候突然看到那双手套——脑中突然都是关于父亲的回忆——明白这双手套代表的正是父亲对自己的爱——仿佛感受到父亲就在自己的身边——决定参加学校的棒球队选拔 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①经历：go through/experience ②走出去：walk outside/step outside ③决定：make a decision/make a resolution 情绪类 ① 艰难的：hard/rough/difficult ②令人欣慰的：comforting/soothing 【点睛】【高分句型1】It happened so quickly that Jackson barely had time to process it.（运用了so…that…引导的结果状语从句） 【高分句型2】It was the hardest thing Jackson had ever gone through.（运用了省略关系代词that引导的定语从句） Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川省成都石室中学） It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family. Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about. Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?” “I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.” Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin. 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。 Every day after school, Antonio started his plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day finally came! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Every day after school, Antonio started his plan. Cold and hungry, Antonio wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another. To save more money, the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning. Every coin he won went to the soda tin, his treasured “bank”, and then all the tiredness disappeared magically. Each time he passed by, the brooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile. Day by day, his soda tin became heavier and heavier. Six weeks passed before he even knew it. Then approached Christmas Eve. The day finally came! Antonio stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin, poured all the coins out and began to count. Five dollars and twenty cents! He counted it a second time, and no mistake. His hard work eventually paid off! Holding the soda tin firmly, Antonio rushed for the shop without a second’s delay. Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behind it, Susan was too overjoyed to utter a word. She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son. “Merry Christmas, Mom”, the son announced proudly. “You too.” the proud mother echoed. Well, no dream is out of reach for a willing heart. 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了12岁的男孩Antonio Black在第二次世界大战结束前的一个下午，在商店看到一枚漂亮的胸针，但因为家境贫困无法买下。不过，Antonio还是走进了这家商店，请店主暂时为他保留这枚胸针，店主同意了。Antonio打算自己偷偷地筹集五美元，送给为家庭整日操劳的母亲Susan，她是这个家的中心。这时街道上的敲击声让他有了主意，他想收集人们装建造房屋的钉子的袋子，卖回给工厂来赚钱。当天，他找到两只袋子，赚到两枚五分硬币，他把硬币藏在了汽水罐中。 【解析】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“每天放学后，Antonio开始他的计划”可知，第一段可描写Antonio偷偷地努力攒钱，以及他攒的钱越来越多。 ②由第二段首句内容“这一天终于来了”可知，第二段可描写Antonio成功攒到5美元，买下了这枚胸针，以及他把胸针送给母亲，母亲非常感动。 2. 续写线索：Antonio开始计划——Antonio努力攒钱——Antonio的钱变多——这一天来临——Antonio买下胸针——Antonio送给母亲胸针 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search for/look for ②消失：disappear/vanish/fade away ③临近：approach/near/draw near ④冲：rush/run/race ⑤说：utter/say 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/resolute ②狂喜的：overjoyed/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] Cold and hungry, Antonio wandered around, searching for nail bags carefully from one street to another.

This tradition started with Jessie the Elf, a festive doll that brought small gifts to brighten people’s lives amid hardships. Mrs. Levinson knew that many of her students came from low-income families, and some of them even experienced homelessness, hunger, or abuse. She wanted to give them a sense of joy and hope, and show them that someone cared for them. Every morning, the students would find Jessie in a different spot in the classroom, holding a new surprise for them. Sometimes it was a candy cane, sometimes it was a pencil, and sometimes it was a handwritten note of encouragement. The students loved Jessie and looked forward to seeing what she had for them each day. However, an unexpected financial crisis severely impacted Mrs. Levinson’s own resources. Her husband lost his job, and they had to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Should she continue buying gifts for the kids or pay her heavy mortgage (抵押贷款)? After a brief inner conflict, she chose to sacrifice her own needs and continued the classroom tradition, hoping that the gifts would bring some joy and hope to the kids who had so little. Yet, what happened afterwards made her choice even more challenging. Transitioning to online classes, she discovered a heartbreaking fact: many students couldn’t attend online classes due to the inability to afford household Internet. She felt helpless and frustrated, knowing that they were missing out on their education and their connection with their classmates and teachers. She also worried about their mental health and well-being. Just as Mrs. Levinson felt sad, she had a good idea.

After a few busy days there, we were ready to get home. We left the activity centre looking to get a taxi with what felt like plenty of time to make our flight. No sooner had we left the building than it began to rain. “A little rain never hurt anyone,” we thought. Besides, we were about to start a business of inspiring people, so we could not let a little bad weather steal our happiness. After a while with no luck finding an empty taxi, we suddenly realized, “It’s five o’clock in New York city! This is rush hour traffic. We may never get a taxi.” My friend then remembered she had saved the van(面包车) company that had driven us here from the airport several days earlier. We gave them a call. Over an hour later, our van finally arrived and took us to the airport. A great relief came upon us when we arrived at the gate to discover the flight had been put off half an hour. Much to our disappointment, however, 20 minutes later, we discovered our flight put off again because of the bad weather in another state. Although we were tired and ready to get home, we refused to end our trip unhappily. Instead, we decided to make the most of our wait and took a nearby seat to relax and chat about our trip.

It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old. Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else. By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work-fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said, “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write ” In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said, “no one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you. “But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise. ” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing. One day, a young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes, where people can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98. I thought of my friends and neighbors and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action. 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。 Paragraph 1: The young man drove me to _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I’m still going to school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都市树德中学・期中) Joe entered Mr. Cooper’s classroom on the first day of the new school year, his long hair tied in a ponytail (马尾辫). “What are you doing with that ponytail, dear Joe? You look like a little girl!” Mr. Cooper asked curiously. The rest of his classmates laughed. Joe looked down in shame, but he knew he had to keep growing it for his reasons. The previous year, Joe had decided to grow his hair, a decision that hadn’t attracted much attention due to the start of the summer holidays. However, now that he was back at school, everyone saw how overgrown his hair was because he kept it in a ponytail. Unfortunately, the comments didn’t stop. Every day, the boys in his class teased him, believing he simply wanted to be different. The poor eight-year-old boy returned home each day in tears, but he never told the truth to his parents. Instead, he started hiding his tears in the bathroom at some point. Mrs. Burns, the art teacher, was relatively new at the school. One day, after everyone had left for recess (课间休息) she found Joe crying. “Joe, what’s going on? Why are you growing your hair so long?” she asked gently. “Well, I volunteered in a children’s hospital last April. There were many kids who had cancer and lost their hair,” Joe explained. After a brief pause, he continued, “The hospital called for young volunteers to grow hair and donate it. They would use the donated hair to create beautiful wigs (假发) for those unfortunate children. Since then, I’ve been growing my hair. Unfortunately, now boys in my class often laugh at me when seeing my long hair.” Touched by his story, Mrs. Burns asked, “Do your classmates know why you’re growing your hair?” Joe shook his head, telling that no one had ever asked him. “Do you have any photos of the children in the hospital?” she asked. Joe nodded and quickly took a few out from his school bag. Mrs. Burns took them from Joe’s hands and looked at them carefully. What came into her eyes were some children lying in bed, most of whom were smiling bravely. Deeply touched, she gave Joe a huge hug. “Joe, you should be proud of yourself for helping others. Let me help you!” She said gently, her voice full of admiration. When the bell rang, Joe’s classmates hurriedly returned to the classroom. Having noted that everyone was seated, Mrs. Burns showed them photos of those poor kids. After hearing the story, Joe’s classmates were all moved, with tears welling up in their eyes. Suddenly, one boy stood up and rushed towards Joe, giving him a hug. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 5 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都列五中学・期中) Some people are just doomed (注定) to be failures. That’s the way some adults look at troubled kids. A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. David was made to feel this way almost every day in school. David was the most famous troublemaker in high school. He wasn’t confident and didn’t answer questions. From time to time he skipped classes and got into lots of fights. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year. However, things gradually changed during a weekend leadership meeting. All the students at school had been invited to sign up for ACE training, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities. At the start of the meeting, David was literally standing outside the circle of students, against the back wall, with that “go ahead, impress me” look on his face. He didn’t readily join the discussion groups. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in the discussion. David started to join them and he really had great ideas. The other students in David’s group welcomed his comments. All of a sudden David felt like a part of the group. The next day, David was very active in all the sessions. By the end of the meeting, he had joined the Homeless Project team. He knew something about poverty, hunger and hopelessness. The other students on the team were impressed with his passionate concern and ideas. They elected David co-chairman of the team. The very first community service project organized by the Homeless Project team was to collect food for the homeless in the charge of David. But a group of teachers doubted whether this crucial beginning should be in the hands of David. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the ACE program was to uncover any positive passion that a student had and reinforce (加强) its practice until true change can take place. 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。 Two weeks later, David led 20 students in the team to collect food for the homeless. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After David’s picture appeared in the newspaper, everyone saw great changes in him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都市盐道街中学・期中) Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession. Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition. The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didn’t know how to approach her Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”. Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there are some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present. In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite (背诵) a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldn’t do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldn’t recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑) . To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldn’t take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to have special demands on her. 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。 Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Because I want to be like you guys!

There was nothing to it. Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do. The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started frying the bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna threw the burnt piece into the  sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time, she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely. Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake. The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked. Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this? The son said, “Father, I told you just now. It’s a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is this?” At this time, some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.

I was 16 and feeling sad because my dad told me there was not enough money to buy the dress I wanted. We did the housework early that night. So I figured Dad wanted extra time for us to spend together. Instead, he dressed himself again and went outside. “Come on, Elizabeth,” he said eagerly. “Dress yourself warmly! It’s cold outside.” Outside, I became even more upset. Not only wasn’t I getting the dress, now Dad was dragging me out in the cold. There, in front of the house, already was a big sled (雪橇). Whatever we were going to do wasn’t going to be a quick job. So I unwillingly climbed up and sat next to a big box, the cold already biting at me. We pulled in front of the woodshed (柴棚) and started loading wood into the box. Finally, I asked, “Dad, what are you doing?” “Have you been to Mrs. Clark’s lately?” he asked. Mrs. Clark lived about two miles down the road from us. Her husband had passed away the year before, leaving her with three children to raise on her own. “Yeah,” I said. “Why?” “I rode by just today,” Dad said. “Little Jake was out digging around in the woodpile (柴火堆), trying to find a few pieces of wood to struggle through the cold winter. They’re out of wood, Elizabeth.” That’s all he said. Then Dad went to the kitchen, fetching a big bag of flour, a side of bacon and something else in a small bag and asking me to load them into the big box too. I tried to think through what my dad was doing. We did have a big woodpile, meat and flour, so we could spare some, but I knew we didn’t have any money. Mrs. Clark had closer neighbors than us. Why was it our concern? Nearly half an hour later, we made it to her house. 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。 Then we unloaded the wood behind the Clarks’ house and knocked on the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The big box was opened. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 (23-24 高二上・四川省成都市树德中学・期中) Ring a Bell Ms. Tracy looked up from her yellow notebook and cleared her throat. The noise in the class died down as we turned toward her. “We’re going to help a charity to collect money by ringing a bell. Each of you will ring it for four hours,” she announced. As the words left her lips, complaints could be heard around the room. Unwillingly, I dug for my planner and look notes. Four hours of ringing a stupid bell. Four hours that I could be studying for the SAT. Was this supposed to be a joke? I joined the students around the table and signed up for 1he first day of break-to get it over with. A few weeks later, I was standing next to the big blue-and-white Walmart. There was another guy holding a jar across from me. Great, I was going to be stuck here ringing a bell with a guy who was trying to get donations for another charity. To top it off, it was only about 4.4℃. Slowly, I put on the red dress bearing the symbol of ow charity. I hoped that I already spent two minutes doing that, Ring! Ring! A group of older women came up with their walking sticks to drop in some change. А man with а broad-brimmed bat came by and put some coins in. I checked my phone. Just 10 minutes had passed. A strong bitterly-cold wind blew against my freezing face. I was starting to regret ignoring my mom’s advice to wear a scarf. I looked up, wishing that time would pass more quickly. A few birds swept around the poles. The sky was gently blue. Palm trees waved in the cold wind. How comfortable it might be to curl(蜷缩)up with a hot cup of tea and a book on the cozy sofa. Then another ring brought me back to reality. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； From the parking lot stepped out a poorly-dressed man, walking with difficulty toward me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by his generosity, I continued to ring my bell happily. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 (23-24 高二上・四川省成都石室中学・期中) There Are No Vans To me, what Thanksgiving really means is giving good thanks, not eating turkey. By the time I was 18 I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(惯例). I would go out shopping and buy enough food for one or two families. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the poorest neighborhood and just knock on a door, and would always include a note saying “All that I ask in return is that you take good enough care of yourself so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of money I’ve ever earned, especially one such experience in New York City. Several years ago I was in New York City with my newly married wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family. Normally she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were stuck here in a hotel room. I said, “Honey, look, why don’t we decorate some lives today instead of some trees?” When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited. I said, “Let’s go someplace where we can really appreciate who we are, what we are able to do and what we can really give. Let’s go to the poor neighborhood Harlem and feed some people there in need. We’ll go buy enough food for six or seven families for 30 days. We’ve got enough. Let’s go do it!” We started by getting a van, but there seemed no vans in all of New York City. The rent-a-car places were all out of vans. My wife was disappointed, and I said, “Look, the bottom line is that if we want something, we can make it happen! All we have to do is take action. There are plenty of vans here in New York City. Look down at the street. Do you see all those vans? Let’s go get one!” My wife agreed and we took action. We tried stopping vans as they were driving down the street. I learned something about New York drivers that day: they don’t stop; they speed up. Then we tried waiting by the light. We’d go over, knock on the window and the driver would roll it down, looking at us in alarm, and I’d ask if he would drive us to Harlem so we could help some people. Every time the driver would look away quickly, furiously roll up the window and pull away without saying anything. My wife was ready to give up, but I said, “It’s the law of averages: somebody is going to say yes.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Eventually a van drove up and the driver said yes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 (24-25 高二上・四川省南充市嘉陵第一中学・期中) Mrs. Miller was our next-door neighbor. Her husband died two years ago. She had no children and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and my sister Laurel and I considered her our special friend. One December, Mrs. Miller was ill in hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we wondered what to make for Mrs. Miller. We couldn’t bear seeing her come home before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. Then we lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared. I was in Miss Johnson’s sixth grade class that year, and we decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰物) we’d made in art class. It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation. Miss Johnson said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We’d each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the box she had prepared. On the last day of school before vacation, she’d draw a name from the box, and that student could take the tree home. Great! That was exactly what I was longing for! So I wrote my name “Helen Wheeler” neatly on a piece of paper and folded it carefully. As I put it into the box, I whispered to Miss Johnson that I really hoped I’d win the tree because my sister and I wanted to give it to our neighbor who was sick and lonely. Though there were 30 children in the class and each might win the tree, I was somehow certain that I would get it because our cause was good: We wanted to make Mrs. Miller happy. The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but that day I persuaded Mom to pick us up in her car after school in case I really got the tree. 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。 Paragraph 1: Before school was over, Miss Johnson announced it was time for the drawing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next evening we welcomed Mrs. Miller back at her door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (24-25 高二上・四川省成都石室中学・期中) Ella loved her school life. However, there was one class Ella worried about more than any other class - art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t good at drawing, painting, or cutting. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to master the skills. Ms. Amanda, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to hold an art competition,” she announced. Amanda was a great teacher, and Ella liked her a lot. But this announcement made Ella nervous. “Everyone in the school will have to create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of art work we have been studying.” Ms. Amanda was quite excited when she spoke while Ella found herself sitting lower in her chair. Ella had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. As Friday drew near, Ella felt frightened. She knew she couldn’t draw or paint well enough to make something that would stand out. So after school Ella asked Ms. Amanda if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project. “I understand this project scared you, Ella,” Ms. Amanda said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Amanda smiled at her: “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings. It isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.” Ella finally decided to face her fears and gave it a try. When Ella arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Amanda’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Ella wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled the paper and threw it to the side of her desk. Then Ella stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create something out of crumpled paper? The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball, inspiring Ella to explore a new way of creativity. Without the need for drawing, painting, or cutting, she crafted numerous paper balls, skillfully glued them together and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. Wearing a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper, the snowman looked wonderful. Ella felt a deep sense of satisfaction with her finished project. 注意： 1．续写词数应100字左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On Friday, Ella carefully carried her project into the library. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 (24-25 高二上・四川省南充启睿实验学校・期中) Lily and Susan had been the best of friends since kindergarten. They shared everything—from secrets to lunches—and were inseparable. One sunny afternoon, as they walked in the nearby park, chatting about their plans for the future, they saw an injured dog. Without hesitation, Lily and Susan decided to help the poor little dog. They carefully held it and rushed to the nearest vet (兽医) clinic. The vet assured them that the dog would be fine with some rest and medicine. Relieved, they decided to name the dog Lucky and take turns to care for it until it recovered. Their act of kindness brought them even closer, and they spent many joyful hours playing with Lucky in the park. However, as high school progressed, their interests started to diverge (出现分歧) . Lily became passionate about painting, spending hours in the art room perfecting her art works, while Susan developed a deep interest in science, joining the school’s science club and taking part in various competitions. As time passed, they found themselves with less and less in common. One day, a misunderstanding occurred when Lily blamed Susan for ignoring Lucky because of her busy schedule. Susan felt hurt and believed that Lily didn’t understand the pressure she was under with her studies and extra-curricular activities. They argued, and for the first time, their friendship seemed strained. Feeling disheartened, both girls went their separate ways. But despite their differences, they couldn’t shake off the memories of better times and the close relationship they once shared.

It had belonged to his dad, who had passed it down to him when Jackson turned ten. At the time, Jackson didn’t care much for baseball. He found it boring and never understood why his dad loved it so much. It was just a game where you threw a ball around, hit it, and then ran. What was the big deal? Every Saturday morning, Jackson’s dad would invite him to toss (投、掷、抛) a ball around in the backyard. “Come on, champ,” he’d say, with a big smile that made it hard to say no. “Let’s have some fun!” Jackson would sigh, dragging his feet as if he were walking to his doom (厄运). Once they got outside, his dad would hand him the glove. Jackson didn’t understand why his dad insisted on doing this every weekend. He didn’t see the point of throwing a ball back and forth, especially when he could be inside playing video games or hanging out with his friends. His dad, however, never seemed to mind Jackson’s unwillingness to catch the ball. With a patient smile, he would gently toss the ball and encourage, “One day, you’ll get it.” Despite his dad’s optimism, Jackson struggled with the oversized and stiff glove, constantly complaining,” I’m no good at this,” and throwing it aside in frustration (沮丧). Yet, his dad didn’t give up, always picking up the glove and placing it back in Jackson’s hand, saying, “You’ll get there. Just takes practice.” These moments, although not fully appreciated by Jackson at the time, were invaluable to his dad, who was not only teaching him baseball but also the values of patience, perseverance, and the importance of spending quality time together. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为120左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1 Then, when Jackson turned fourteen, everything changed as his dad suddenly passed away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 One afternoon, when Jackson was cleaning his room, he stood there for a long time, staring at the glove, feeling its weight. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 5 （23-24 高二上・四川省成都石室中学） It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family. Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about. Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?” “I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.” Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering (锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin. 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。 Every day after school, Antonio started his plan. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day finally came! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 6 （23-24 高二上・四川省成都石室中学） It was 8 o’clock on Sunday.
