It is a Christian tradition marking the day when Jesus Christ is said to have come back to life. On Easter Sunday, people attend church services where they sing and pray.

Passover is a time to reflect on Jews’ suffering in ancient Egypt. Jews were believed to have been led to freedom by a religious leader named Moses.

The pleasant smell of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside an old-fashioned but attractive cabin in the eastern Chinese village, which houses Frank Sterzer's café: Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
Having worked as an engineer in Germany and China for over two decades, Frank discovered a new sense of purpose in Maoli village near Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Driven by a long-standing passion for coffee, he turned his hobby into a thriving enterprise by roasting quality beans. “Zhejiang's countryside offers great infrastructure (基础设施)and beautiful landscapes, making it the perfect place to launch a business,” says Frank. Maoli is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Ningbo, blending urban accessibility with rural peace.
To Frank, enjoying a cup of coffee along with homemade cake while taking in the rural views represents the peaceful lifestyle he wishes to share with his guests. “The café is a space where people can experience the charm of this mountain village,” he adds.
The name Bamboo Coffee Roasters comes from the plentiful bamboo surrounding Maoli, and its logo was inspired by Frank's photo of a local bamboo forest. Behind the shop, a small coffee factory houses excellent beans from around the world, stored beside softly humming roasting machines. Frank roasts up to 10 metric tons of beans a year, which has helped make the café a success.
Since its opening in June 2024, the café has quickly become a popular spot, drawing both local and international visitors, especially with China's expanded visa-free policies. Before the Spring Festival, guests came from various places. One tourist noted, “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said.
4. What made Frank set up the café in Maoli?
A. The village's facilities and scenery.
B. China's expanded visa-free policies.
C. Frank's newly found enthusiasm.
D. The convenience in the rural area.
5. Which of the following details about the coffee roasting process at Bamboo Coffee Roasters is mentioned?
A. Frank personally delivers the roasted beans to customers in Ningbo.
B. The beans are sourced exclusively from farmers in Zhejiang province.
C. The roasting machines operate quietly in the background of the shop.
D The annual production capacity of roasted beans reaches about ten metric tons.
6. What can be inferred about Frank Sterzer from the passage?
A. He values a peaceful lifestyle and cultural exchange more than a high-income city career.
B. He plans to open a chain of similar cafés in major Chinese cities in the near future.
C. His engineering background is directly responsible for the design of the roasting machines.
D. He chose the location primarily because of the low cost of land and labor in the countryside.
7. Why is the tourist remark mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To promote the sale of the local produce.
B. To prove guests promoted Frank's business.
C. To show Frank's business enhanced local economy.
D. To share the interest of tourists in exploring Ningbo.

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
A viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and escaping the British Museum to return home has gained wide praise from Chinese state media.
The three short videos, titled Escape from the British Museum, show the teapot transforming into a young woman in a green dress. She asks for the help of a Chinese journalist in London to return to her family. Released by independent vloggers on Douyin, the series quickly struck a chord (心弦) in China, receiving over 310 million views. The story reflects growing public criticism toward the British Museum, especially after recent reports that more than 1,500 items, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, had been stolen or damaged.
In August, the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy (公开辩论). The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that “foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum.” It praised the video for conveying a strong message about cultural heritage and reflecting Chinese people’s desire for the repatriation of relics.
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tian’anmen Square.
8. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum?
A. It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.
B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.
C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.
D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.
9. What does the underlined word “repatriation” (Para. 3) probably mean?
A. Repair. B. Reflection. C. Reserve. D. Return.
10. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
A. China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal.
B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.
C. The British Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.
D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.
B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.
C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.
D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.
D
Researchers led by Josie Hughes in the CREATE Lab in EPFL’s School of Engineering wanted to develop a robot that could go across diverse environments as skillfully as animals by changing form on the fly. With GOAT (Good Over All Terrains) they have achieved just that—and created a new model for robotic movement and control in the process.
“While most robots compute the shortest path from A to B, GOAT considers the travel pattern as well as the path to be taken,” Hughes explains. “For example, instead of going around an obstacle like a stream, GOAT can swim straight through. If its path is hilly, it can passively roll downhill like a ball to save both time and energy, and then actively drive as a rover (漫游者) when rolling is no longer beneficial.”
To design their robot, the CREATE team took inspiration from across the animal kingdom, including spiders and kangaroos. The team’s bioinspired approach led to a design that is highly compliant (顺应的), meaning it adapts in response to interaction with its environment, rather than remaining unchangeable. This allows GOAT to actively alter its shape to change its passive properties, which range from more flexible in its ‘rover’ model to stronger as a ball.
CREATE Lab PhD student Max Polzin explains that compliance also allows GOAT to navigate with minimal sensing equipment. With only a satellite navigation system and a device for measuring the robot’s own direction, GOAT carries no cameras onboard. “It doesn’t need complex sensing. It can use the environment, even with very limited knowledge of it, to find the best path,” Polzin says.
Future research includes improved algorithms (算法) to help with GOAT’s design. Looking ahead, the researchers see many potential applications for their device, from environmental monitoring to disaster response.
12. What key feature distinguishes GOAT?
A. Rolling downhill like a ball.
B. Calculating the shortest A-to-B path.
C. Navigating obstacles such as streams.
D. Efficient adaptation to varied terrains.
13. Where did GOAT’s designers find their solution?
A. From previous robots. B. From other researches.
C. From other species. D. From edging information.
14. In which field will GOAT probably be applied?
A. Education. B. Climate. C. Finance. D. Medicine.
15. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future Applications of GOAT
B. The Development of a New Robot: GOAT
C. GOAT: A Robot for Diverse Environments
D. How GOAT Saves Time and Energy in Travel

The Araguaia River is one of the biggest rivers in Brazil. It is home to thousands of animals. River dolphins swim and play in the water, and there are many different colored fish.
In one town, a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan walks along the river every day. But looking at the river makes him worry because there is rubbish everywhere. He sees plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages. The water looks dark and ugly.
One day Rhenan asked about the dirty river at school. “You wouldn’t want rubbish in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It doesn’t seem right to him that this big and powerful river is filled with rubbish. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.” Then Rhenan had an idea.
The next morning, Rhenan talked to his mother about his plan for the river. He wanted to go around his town and ask for everyone’s help. Maybe if they all worked together, they could clean up the river!
Rhenan’s mother loved his idea. “I believe the most important thing for you, Rhenan, is learning how to change things that you care about. That will stay with you forever.” She said. She told him she would help him along the way.
The next day, Rhenan went to the police department and next to the office of the Mayor (市长). He visited offices, businesses, and other schools. Soon he had a very big group of people who like his idea! They all decided to meet at the river the following week. On the day of the river clean-up, Rhenan was excited—but he was also nervous. What if no one showed up? But when he and his mother arrived, there were almost a hundred people there, including many of Rhenan’s friends.

The pleasant smell of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside an old-fashioned but attractive cabin in the eastern Chinese village, which houses Frank Sterzer's café: Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
Having worked as an engineer in Germany and China for over two decades, Frank discovered a new sense of purpose in Maoli village near Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Driven by a long-standing passion for coffee, he turned his hobby into a thriving enterprise by roasting quality beans. “Zhejiang's countryside offers great infrastructure (基础设施)and beautiful landscapes, making it the perfect place to launch a business,” says Frank. Maoli is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Ningbo, blending urban accessibility with rural peace.
To Frank, enjoying a cup of coffee along with homemade cake while taking in the rural views represents the peaceful lifestyle he wishes to share with his guests. “The café is a space where people can experience the charm of this mountain village,” he adds.
The name Bamboo Coffee Roasters comes from the plentiful bamboo surrounding Maoli, and its logo was inspired by Frank's photo of a local bamboo forest. Behind the shop, a small coffee factory houses excellent beans from around the world, stored beside softly humming roasting machines. Frank roasts up to 10 metric tons of beans a year, which has helped make the café a success.
Since its opening in June 2024, the café has quickly become a popular spot, drawing both local and international visitors, especially with China's expanded visa-free policies. Before the Spring Festival, guests came from various places. One tourist noted, “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said.

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
A viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and escaping the British Museum to return home has gained wide praise from Chinese state media.
The three short videos, titled Escape from the British Museum, show the teapot transforming into a young woman in a green dress. She asks for the help of a Chinese journalist in London to return to her family. Released by independent vloggers on Douyin, the series quickly struck a chord (心弦) in China, receiving over 310 million views. The story reflects growing public criticism toward the British Museum, especially after recent reports that more than 1,500 items, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, had been stolen or damaged.
In August, the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy (公开辩论). The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that “foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum.” It praised the video for conveying a strong message about cultural heritage and reflecting Chinese people’s desire for the repatriation of relics.
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tian’anmen Square.
8. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum?
A It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.
B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.
C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.
D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.
9. What does the underlined word “repatriation” (Para. 3) probably mean?
A. Repair. B. Reflection. C. Reserve. D. Return.
10. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
A. China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal.
B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.
C. The British Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.
D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.
B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.
C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.
D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that “foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum.”(此次丑闻暴露出大英博物馆在文物管理与安保方面存在的严重漏洞,这使得长期以来一直广为流传的“外国文物在大英博物馆能得到更好的保护”这一说法不攻自破)”可知,英国会以“因为这些文物在我们的博物馆里更安全,也得到了更好的保护”这样的理由将其他国家的文物收藏在其博物馆中。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据常识和划线词所在句“Chinese people’s yearning for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.(中国人民渴望中国文物的repatriation)”中“Chinese people’s yearning for”可推知,中国人民渴望着这些珍贵文物的“回归”。划线词repatriation与return同义。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. (博物馆的丑闻成为世界各地的头条新闻,并重新唤起了中国媒体早些时候要求归还中国文物的呼声)”可知,这一次大英博物馆文物丢失和损坏的丑闻重新唤起中国媒体要求归还中国文物的呼声。由此推知,在此之前中国已经要求大英博物馆归还文物。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合文章标题“Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral (“从大英博物馆逃跑的中国玉壶”在社交媒体上走红)”和文中内容可知,本文主要介绍了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短视频在网络迅速走红,并引起中国官方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。所以“介绍一个关于‘逃跑的玉壶’的视频系列”是文章的写作目的。故选B。

Researchers led by Josie Hughes in the CREATE Lab in EPFL’s School of Engineering wanted to develop a robot that could go across diverse environments as skillfully as animals by changing form on the fly. With GOAT (Good Over All Terrains) they have achieved just that—and created a new model for robotic movement and control in the process.
“While most robots compute the shortest path from A to B, GOAT considers the travel pattern as well as the path to be taken,” Hughes explains. “For example, instead of going around an obstacle like a stream, GOAT can swim straight through. If its path is hilly, it can passively roll downhill like a ball to save both time and energy, and then actively drive as a rover (漫游者) when rolling is no longer beneficial.”
To design their robot, the CREATE team took inspiration from across the animal kingdom, including spiders and kangaroos. The team’s bioinspired approach led to a design that is highly compliant (顺应的), meaning it adapts in response to interaction with its environment, rather than remaining unchangeable. This allows GOAT to actively alter its shape to change its passive properties, which range from more flexible in its ‘rover’ model to stronger as a ball.
CREATE Lab PhD student Max Polzin explains that compliance also allows GOAT to navigate with minimal sensing equipment. With only a satellite navigation system and a device for measuring the robot’s own direction, GOAT carries no cameras onboard. “It doesn’t need complex sensing. It can use the environment, even with very limited knowledge of it, to find the best path,” Polzin says.
Future research includes improved algorithms (算法) to help with GOAT’s design. Looking ahead, the researchers see many potential applications for their device, from environmental monitoring to disaster response.
12. What key feature distinguishes GOAT?
A. Rolling downhill like a ball.
B. Calculating the shortest A-to-B path.
C. Navigating obstacles such as streams.
D. Efficient adaptation to varied terrains.
13. Where did GOAT’s designers find their solution?
A. From previous robots. B. From other researches.
C. From other species. D. From edging information.
14. In which field will GOAT probably be applied?
A. Education. B. Climate. C. Finance. D. Medicine.
15 What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future Applications of GOAT
B. The Development of a New Robot: GOAT
C. GOAT: A Robot for Diverse Environments
D. How GOAT Saves Time and Energy in Travel
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一种新型机器人GOAT能够适应各种环境。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers led by Josie Hughes in the CREATE Lab in EPFL’s School of Engineering wanted to develop a robot that could go across diverse environments as skillfully as animals by changing form on the fly.(由乔西·休斯领导的EPFL工程学院CREATE实验室的研究人员想要开发一种机器人,它可以像动物一样熟练地通过在飞行中改变形态来穿越各种环境)”以及第二段““While most robots compute the shortest path from A to B, GOAT considers the travel pattern as well as the path to be taken,” Hughes explains. “For example, instead of going around an obstacle like a stream, GOAT can swim straight through. If its path is hilly, it can passively roll downhill like a ball to save both time and energy, and then actively drive as a rover (漫游者) when rolling is no longer beneficial.”(休斯解释说:“当大多数机器人计算从A点到B点的最短路径时,GOAT会考虑旅行模式和路径。例如,山羊可以直接游过去,而不是像溪流一样绕过障碍物。如果它的路径是丘陵,它可以像球一样被动地滚下山,以节省时间和精力,然后当滚动不再有益时,它可以作为漫游者主动行驶。”)”可知,GOAT最主要的特征就是能根据不同的环境改变它的形态。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To design their robot, the CREATE team took inspiration from across the animal kingdom, including spiders and kangaroos. The team’s bioinspired approach led to a design that is highly compliant (顺应的), meaning it adapts in response to interaction with its environment, rather than remaining unchangeable.(为了设计他们的机器人,CREATE团队从动物王国汲取了灵感,包括蜘蛛和袋鼠。该团队的生物启发方法导致了高度顺应的设计,这意味着它可以适应与环境的相互作用,而不是保持不变)”可知,CREATE团队是由其他生物特别是动物而产生灵感。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, the researchers see many potential applications for their device, from environmental monitoring to disaster response.(展望未来,研究人员看到了他们的设备的许多潜在应用,从环境监测到灾难响应)”可知,此款机器人可以适用于环境监测或者灾难应对等领域,而气象领域会有极端灾害发生。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers led by Josie Hughes in the CREATE Lab in EPFL’s School of Engineering wanted to develop a robot that could go across diverse environments as skillfully as animals by changing form on the fly. With GOAT (Good Over All Terrains) they have achieved just that—and created a new model for robotic movement and control in the process.(由乔西·休斯领导的EPFL工程学院CREATE实验室的研究人员想要开发一种机器人,它可以像动物一样熟练地通过在飞行中改变形态来穿越各种环境。有了GOAT (Good Over All terrain),他们就做到了这一点,并在这个过程中为机器人的运动和控制创造了一个新的模型)”可知,本文讲了一种新型机器人GOAT能够适应各种环境,所以C项“GOAT:适应不同环境的机器人”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了苏州古城区七里山塘街的历史、建筑特色及其在苏州文化与商业史上的重要地位。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:在苏州姑苏区,有一条叫七里山塘的老街,它是一条有1200多年历史的街道。根据句意和句子结构可知,本空应填介词with,表示“具有”,后接名词短语a history of more than 1,200 years作后置定语,修饰an old street。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:整条街从西边的虎丘开始,一直延伸到东边的长门。句中reaches为谓语动词,设空处使用非谓语动词,且The whole street与start之间是主动关系,表示“从……开始”,所以应该用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填starting。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:山塘河被挖掘出来,河岸上修建了道路和房屋。根据句意和句子结构可知,本空与was dug是并列关系,故本空也应用一般过去时,且主语roads and houses与动词build之间是被动关系,所以应该用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用were。故填were built。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:从明清到现在,它一直是苏州历史遗迹最密集、种类最繁荣的街道,堪称“苏州第一街”。根据句意和时间状语From the Ming and Qing dynasties to today可知,本空应该用现在完成时,表示从过去持续到现在的动作或状态,主语为it,助动词用has。故填has been。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:从明清到现在,它一直是苏州历史遗迹最密集、种类最繁荣的街道,堪称“苏州第一街”。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the street,且关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以应该用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:就连乾隆皇帝也对这条街赞不绝口,还亲自为这条街写了一首诗。本空应该用副词形式,修饰动词wrote,表示“亲自地”。故填personally。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:除了迷人的风景,它也是苏州历史上重要的商业场所。本空应该用attract的形容词attractive,修饰名词scenery,表示“迷人的”作定语。故填attractive。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:随着历史长河的流逝,老街的光芒逐渐暗淡,繁荣也一去不复返了。根据句意和句子结构可知,the light of the old street is gradually darkening和the prosperity is gone之间是并列关系或对比关系或时间上的同时发生,所以应该用并列连词and或表示对比的连词while或表示“随着”的as连接。故填and/as/while。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:但是当人们走进老街时,商店、古建筑和船只仍然在诉说着它的古老历史,古老的苏州隐藏在新苏州的城市中。本空应该用形容词性物主代词形式,修饰名词ancient history,表示“它的”。故填its。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是当人们走进老街时,商店、古建筑和船只仍然在诉说着它的古老历史,古老的苏州隐藏在新苏州的城市中。此处构成with+宾语+done的复合结构,the old Suzhou与hide之间是被动关系,表示“被隐藏”,所以应该用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。故填hidden。

【答案】参考范文
Dear Gary,
I’m writing to tell you about the grand military parade on September 3rd, 2025 in Beijing. It celebrated the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
The parade showed many advanced weapons made in China, soldiers marching perfectly and planes flying in the sky. It was a great display of our country’s strength and history. What moved me most was the message of peace. The parade was not just about showing military power, but also about remembering the past and protecting peace, which made me realize how important it is to value the peaceful life we have today.
I feel very proud of my country’s achievements and its efforts for world peace. I hope we can always remember history and work together for a better future.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 读后续写
The Araguaia River is one of the biggest rivers in Brazil. It is home to thousands of animals. River dolphins swim and play in the water, and there are many different colored fish.
In one town, a 13-year-old boy named Rhenan walks along the river every day. But looking at the river makes him worry because there is rubbish everywhere. He sees plastic bottles, old clothing, and empty food packages. The water looks dark and ugly.
One day Rhenan asked about the dirty river at school. “You wouldn’t want rubbish in your house,” said his teacher. “Think about the poor animals!” For days, Rhenan couldn’t stop thinking about the river. It doesn’t seem right to him that this big and powerful river is filled with rubbish. “It’s hurting the animals in my area,” he thought. “And it’s also hurting the families who live here.” Then Rhenan had an idea.
The next morning, Rhenan talked to his mother about his plan for the river. He wanted to go around his town and ask for everyone’s help. Maybe if they all worked together, they could clean up the river!
Rhenan’s mother loved his idea. “I believe the most important thing for you, Rhenan, is learning how to change things that you care about. That will stay with you forever.” She said. She told him she would help him along the way.
The next day, Rhenan went to the police department and next to the office of the Mayor (市长). He visited offices, businesses, and other schools. Soon he had a very big group of people who like his idea! They all decided to meet at the river the following week. On the day of the river clean-up, Rhenan was excited—but he was also nervous. What if no one showed up? But when he and his mother arrived, there were almost a hundred people there, including many of Rhenan’s friends.
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。
Over the whole day, they all worked together to clean up the rubbish.

At the end of the day, everyone started to cheer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1
Over the whole day, they all worked together to clean up the trash. They managed to pick up the plastic bottles, old clothing, and food packages in the river and pulled them out of the water. As they worked, Rhenan noticed how everyone was laughing and smiling. Obviously, they were happy to do this. It did make them feel good to help their community. They were really productive, and when they were done, they picked up almost a tonne of rubbish—that’s the same weight as a car! It was really surprising.
Paragraph 2
At the end of the day, everyone started to cheer. They were proud of the change that they had made—the river rushes along beside them, clean and clear. Looking at the river, they thanked Rhenan. Rhenan felt like he was on top of the world. To stop problems like this from happening again, the town decided to teach everyone why throwing rubbish in the river was harmful. They also planned to help the river by planting more trees along the riverbank for birds to live in.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Rhenan清理阿拉瓜亚河为线索。文章讲述了Rhenan每天沿着河边散步,他发现河里到处都是垃圾。他告诉了老师河流的污染情况,他忍不住会思考河里充满垃圾的危害。后来,他和母亲谈论了清理河里的计划。在母亲的支持下,Rhenan参观了办公室、企业和其他学校。很快,他就有了一大群喜欢他的想法的人!他们开始清理河流。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“一整天,他们都在一起清理垃圾。”可知,第一段描写他们清理河流的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“在一天结束的时候,每个人都开始欢呼。”可知,第二段描写的是他们清理河流之后的庆祝。
2.续写线索:
清理垃圾——完成垃圾清理——庆祝清理活动完成——对清理活动的变化感到自豪——宣传垃圾危害——计划在河流沿岸种树
