Apply and Fly — Fly-in Programs for College Visits
College fly-in programs are opportunities for high school students to visit colleges over the course of a few days and meet students from all around the world with various interests. The visit is at no cost to the student.
You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you’ re not quite sure what living there would be like. Applying takes time, so don’t do it unless you’ re seriously considering the school — that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships (实习).
Timeline and Tips:
1. Do your research early. Make a list of your target colleges. Do they have a fly-in program? When is the application due?
2. Write and edit essays. By doing so, you’re taking baby steps toward the process of submitting the demanding college essays.
3. Submit! (Preferably a couple of days before the deadline, just in case.)
4. Wait. Generally, students will receive results at least two weeks before the event.
Results Day:
Read the email carefully.
Waitlisted? If you wish to remain on the list, you may have to email back within a certain time frame (it’ ll say in the email) to keep your spot.
ACCEPTED! Congratulations! Make sure you do the following:
1. Submit permission forms on time. Do not lose your spot by forgetting to do so.
2. Pack at least two days before! Last-minute packing leads to forgotten items.
3. Join a group chat. Tapping“add” on group chats is easier and faster than swapping phone numbers. Plus, you will probably only get the numbers of the handful of students you’ ll actually keep in touch with. Who knows, you might end up at the same college!
1. Why are fly-in programs offered?
A. To assess students’ levels.
B. To develop students’ interests.
C. To expose students to college life.
D. To collect student feedback on colleges.
2. What are applicants of fly-in programs advised to do?
A. Plan for potential fees. B. Make a list of programs.
C. Provide evidence of research. D. Avoid last-minute submission.
3. Which of the following methods does the text suggest for reaching other attendees?
A. Emails. B. Messaging groups.
C. Phone calls. D. In-person meetups.

In 2010, Brad Montague learned that a West Tennessee homeless shelter had a desperate need for socks, an item often overlooked because used pairs are usually too worn to donate. Without fresh socks, unhoused people easily develop frostbite. Determined to find a solution, Montague took the problem to a dozen teens at the middle school in Henderson, Tennessee, where he volunteered. Together they invented “Socktober”, a simple call for the community to donate new socks every October. The first drive ended with more socks than Montague’s car could hold, and hand-delivering them while greeting recipients with “Happy Socktober!” became, he recalled, “an uplifting and emotional experience.”
Montague posted the results on social media. In 2013, he reinforced (推广) the idea with a “Kid President” web episode — written and directed by Montague — and urged viewers to start local sock drives. The clip (片段) went viral, and participation exploded. Almost fifteen years later, Socktober is held annually in every U.S. state and in Canada, Australia, and India. Montague estimates “millions” of new pairs have been donated, stressing that “anyone can do it,” since socks are inexpensive, universally needed, and easy to share.
To sustain the movement, Montague’s website targets nearby shelters and offers step-by-step tips for successful drives. Schools have become the engine of the tradition. Special-education teacher Rachel Taylor at Elmore Park Middle in Bartlett, Tennessee, has guided students to give roughly 10,000 pairs over the past eight years, calling Socktober “so much more than just socks — it’s love, generosity, and joy.” Eleven-year-old fifth-grader Anderson Brown agrees: “We should show that we care about everybody, no matter what.”
Reflecting on the movement’s quiet power, Montague says, “There are challenges and darkness in the world, but there is also another story happening that involves the quiet work of thousands.”
4. What was the purpose of Socktober?
A. To raise money for the local middle school.
B. To collect new socks for the homeless.
C. To organize a festive community event for October.
D. To provide a project management experience for teens.
5. How did Socktober achieve massive growth after 2013?
A. Montague organized national fundraising events.
B. Montague placed an advertisement to promote it.
C. Montague hired influencers to post about it.
D. Montague produced an online video to spread it.
6. What value does Anderson Brown connect to Socktober?
A. Promoting educational equality. B. Encouraging youth leadership.
C. Showing care for everybody. D. Supporting local businesses.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Socktober?
A. Far-reaching. B. Experimental. C. Resource-intensive. D. Disorganized.
C
Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care?
8. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study?
A. The procedures it followed.
B. The limitations in its design.
C. The conclusion it has drawn.
D. The diversity among its participants.
9. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have?
A. People would avoid using reminders.
B. People would stop thinking independently.
C. People would rely less on their own memory.
D. People would care less about the spoken word.
10. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate?
A. AI can change users’ mental capacity.
B. AI is not widely available to the public.
C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness.
D. AI is not capable of solving every problem.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Will AI Make You Stupid?
B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks
C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities
D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit?
D
Over the past twenty years, more than one fifth of the world’s oceans have gotten darker, according to a study from the University of Plymouth. This is called “ocean darkening.” It happens when changes at the top of the ocean make it harder for sunlight to reach deeper waters.
The study, which was published in the journal Global Change Biology, found that 21% of the world’s oceans became darker between 2003 and 2022. The research team thinks this darkening is due to changes in algae, changes in sea surface temperatures, and artificial light.
The study showed that more than 9% of the ocean—an area about the size of Africa—has less light by over 50 meters (164 feet). Another 2.6% of the ocean has light reduced by over 100 meters (328 feet). While the full impacts are unclear, the team notes this could harm marine life and ecosystem services.
Dr. Thomas Davies, lead researcher of the study, said: “Previous research has shown that the color of the ocean’s surface has changed over the last twenty years, maybe because of changes in tiny sea creatures called plankton(浮游生物). But our study shows these changes cause widespread darkening, making less ocean available to animals dependent on sunlight and moonlight to live and reproduce.” Dr. Davies also said that ocean darkening could affect the air we breathe, the fish we eat, and how well we can fight climate change. “Our findings are truly disquieting.” he said.
Prof. Tim Smyth, who works at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, said that some sea animals that need light might come closer to the surface because of these changes. This could lead to more competition for food and other resources. He also warned, “It could cause big changes in the whole marine ecosystem.”
12. What is ocean darkening caused by according to the research?
A Increased deep-sea human activities.
B. Algae, sea temperature, and artificial light changes.
C. Expansion of marine species populations.
D. Reduced coastal artificial light.
13. Why does the author mention “an area about the size of Africa” in paragraph 3?
A. To emphasize the seriousness of ocean darkening.
B. To compare ocean pollution between continents.
C. To criticize Africa’s environmental policies.
D. To explain algae reproduction rates.
14. What does the underlined word “disquieting” mean in paragraph 4 ?
A. Unclear and confusing. B. Exciting and positive.
C. Alarming and concerning. D. Predictable and expected.
15. What is a potential effect of ocean darkening according to Tim Smyth ?
A. A rise in deep-water oxygen levels.
B. The extinction of light-dependent species.
C. Increased competition for food resources.
D Reduced artificial light pollution.

Enjoying the life we want starts with intention. With thoughtful plans, we can build the future we envision and make our dreams come true. Now, a powerful practice that has become popular is inspiring people to take charge of their lives and realize that anything is possible with focus and determination. ____16____.
“Locking in” is a movement where Internet users advocate discipline, cut out distractions (干扰), and pursue long-term goals with near-military focus. Whether applied to professional ambitions, academic performance, or fitness routines, “locking in” involves consistency, structure, and purpose.
____17____, which was about rest and protecting peace. The new trend is filling social media feeds with early alarms, to-do lists, speed typing, productivity playlists, motivational soundbites, and meal-prepping. ____18____.

____20____. “Being self-aware is important,” says Dr. Audrey Tang, a psychologist. “If you find your reaction to missing a workout (or whatever your routine is) is out of proportion (比例) to the event itself, then you had better engage in self-reflection to see if ‘motivation’ has turned into overly strict discipline, which may be harmful. The key is knowing when to push and when to pause (暂停).”

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heavy summer heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with a walker, weighed down with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride? Let me help you with your groceries.”
Getting out of the car, I placed her walker and bags into my trunk. “Bless you, child,” she said. We were off. She directed me to go south. It seemed too far for her to walk. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store.
We chatted as if we’d known each other for years. Her name was Ida. She had grandchildren. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable, but Ida seemed fine. I stopped the car. Ida directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Suddenly I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house — the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
It would soon be getting dark. No way was I going to stop for a suspicious stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to grab my cell phone. I had to call 911. But my purse wasn’t there!
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness,” I thought.

I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s purse.

In 2010, Brad Montague learned that a West Tennessee homeless shelter had a desperate need for socks, an item often overlooked because used pairs are usually too worn to donate. Without fresh socks, unhoused people easily develop frostbite. Determined to find a solution, Montague took the problem to a dozen teens at the middle school in Henderson, Tennessee, where he volunteered. Together they invented “Socktober”, a simple call for the community to donate new socks every October. The first drive ended with more socks than Montague’s car could hold, and hand-delivering them while greeting recipients with “Happy Socktober!” became, he recalled, “an uplifting and emotional experience.”
Montague posted the results on social media. In 2013, he reinforced (推广) the idea with a “Kid President” web episode — written and directed by Montague — and urged viewers to start local sock drives. The clip (片段) went viral, and participation exploded. Almost fifteen years later, Socktober is held annually in every U.S. state and in Canada, Australia, and India. Montague estimates “millions” of new pairs have been donated, stressing that “anyone can do it,” since socks are inexpensive, universally needed, and easy to share.
To sustain the movement, Montague’s website targets nearby shelters and offers step-by-step tips for successful drives. Schools have become the engine of the tradition. Special-education teacher Rachel Taylor at Elmore Park Middle in Bartlett, Tennessee, has guided students to give roughly 10,000 pairs over the past eight years, calling Socktober “so much more than just socks — it’s love, generosity, and joy.” Eleven-year-old fifth-grader Anderson Brown agrees: “We should show that we care about everybody, no matter what.”
Reflecting on the movement’s quiet power, Montague says, “There are challenges and darkness in the world, but there is also another story happening that involves the quiet work of thousands.”
4. What was the purpose of Socktober?
A. To raise money for the local middle school.
B. To collect new socks for the homeless.
C. To organize a festive community event for October.
D. To provide a project management experience for teens.
5. How did Socktober achieve massive growth after 2013?
A. Montague organized national fundraising events.
B. Montague placed an advertisement to promote it.
C. Montague hired influencers to post about it.
D. Montague produced an online video to spread it.
6. What value does Anderson Brown connect to Socktober?
A. Promoting educational equality. B. Encouraging youth leadership.
C. Showing care for everybody. D. Supporting local businesses.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Socktober?
A. Far-reaching. B. Experimental. C. Resource-intensive. D. Disorganized.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】

Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care?
8. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study?
A. The procedures it followed.
B. The limitations in its design.
C. The conclusion it has drawn.
D. The diversity among its participants.
9. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have?
A. People would avoid using reminders.
B. People would stop thinking independently.
C. People would rely less on their own memory.
D. People would care less about the spoken word.
10. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate?
A. AI can change users’ mental capacity.
B. AI is not widely available to the public.
C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness.
D. AI is not capable of solving every problem.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Will AI Make You Stupid?
B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks
C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities
D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit?
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。MIT研究表明,使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低,但长期影响未知。虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力,但需权衡其利弊。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看,人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱,这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调,需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟,这项研究的样本量很小,而且只关注一个单一的任务)”可知,第三段主要强调了MIT研究设计的局限——样本量很小,且只关注一个单一的任务。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion (神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. (早在公元前5世纪,苏格拉底就曾抱怨说,写作不是“记忆的药水,而是提醒的药水”。计算器使收银员不必计算账单。导航应用免去了看地图的需要。然而,很少有人会认为人们的能力因此而下降)”可知,根据苏格拉底的说法,写作的消极结果是人们更少依赖自己的记忆。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” (但令人担忧的是,生成式人工智能允许人们卸载思维过程。而且,一旦大脑养成了“卸载”的习惯,就很难改掉了。正如一位用户所说,“我太依赖人工智能了,如果没有它,我不知道如何解决某些问题。”)”可知,该用户的话表明AI可能会助长用户的思维惰性。故选C。
11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.

But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AImakes people less intelligent, will they care? (这项技术是如此年轻,以至于在许多任务中,人类的大脑仍然是工具包中最锋利的工具。但随着时间的推移,人工智能的消费者和监管机构都将不得不评估其更广泛的好处是否超过任何认知成本。如果有更有力的证据表明人工智能会让人变得更不聪明,他们会在意吗?)”可知,文章主要介绍MIT 研究表明,使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低,虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力,但需权衡其利弊。因此A项“AI会使你变笨吗?”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

Over the past twenty years, more than one fifth of the world’s oceans have gotten darker, according to a study from the University of Plymouth. This is called “ocean darkening.” It happens when changes at the top of the ocean make it harder for sunlight to reach deeper waters.
The study, which was published in the journal Global Change Biology, found that 21% of the world’s oceans became darker between 2003 and 2022. The research team thinks this darkening is due to changes in algae, changes in sea surface temperatures, and artificial light.
The study showed that more than 9% of the ocean—an area about the size of Africa—has less light by over 50 meters (164 feet). Another 2.6% of the ocean has light reduced by over 100 meters (328 feet). While the full impacts are unclear, the team notes this could harm marine life and ecosystem services.
Dr. Thomas Davies, lead researcher of the study, said: “Previous research has shown that the color of the ocean’s surface has changed over the last twenty years, maybe because of changes in tiny sea creatures called plankton(浮游生物). But our study shows these changes cause widespread darkening, making less ocean available to animals dependent on sunlight and moonlight to live and reproduce.” Dr. Davies also said that ocean darkening could affect the air we breathe, the fish we eat, and how well we can fight climate change. “Our findings are truly disquieting.” he said.
Prof. Tim Smyth, who works at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, said that some sea animals that need light might come closer to the surface because of these changes. This could lead to more competition for food and other resources. He also warned, “It could cause big changes in the whole marine ecosystem.”
12. What is ocean darkening caused by according to the research?
A. Increased deep-sea human activities.
B. Algae, sea temperature, and artificial light changes.
C. Expansion of marine species populations.
D Reduced coastal artificial light.
13. Why does the author mention “an area about the size of Africa” in paragraph 3?
A. To emphasize the seriousness of ocean darkening.
B. To compare ocean pollution between continents.
C. To criticize Africa’s environmental policies.
D. To explain algae reproduction rates.
14. What does the underlined word “disquieting” mean in paragraph 4 ?
A. Unclear and confusing. B. Exciting and positive.
C. Alarming and concerning. D. Predictable and expected.
15. What is a potential effect of ocean darkening according to Tim Smyth ?
A. A rise in deep-water oxygen levels.
B. The extinction of light-dependent species.
C. Increased competition for food resources.
D. Reduced artificial light pollution.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【答案】36. affordable
37. But 38. used
39. to break
40. what 41. is
42. has been educating
43. Unlike 44. a
45. publicly
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍20世纪30年代的防水服因化学涂层含有PFAS对环境和人类有害。为解决这一问题,目前欧盟正在推动无PFAS的清洁时尚。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:由于20世纪30年代化学涂料的发展,轻质、透气、经济实惠的防水服装已经广泛使用。修饰名词词组waterproof clothing,表示“便宜的”,应用形容词affordable作定语。故填affordable。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:但事实证明,舒适和便利是以环境和我们为代价的。上文提到的“经化学处理的防水服被广泛使用”和本句“舒适和便利是以环境和我们为代价”之间为转折关系,应用but连接,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填But。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些涂料通常依赖于PFAS,这是一种用于各种产品的化学品。句中已有谓语动词rely on,空处应用非谓语动词,use和逻辑主语chemicals之间为被动关系,应用过去分词,作后置定语。故填used。
【39题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:这些化学物质流动性很强,从产品中滤出,在水系统、食物链和人体中积累,需要数百年到数千年的时间才能分解,因此被称为“永远的化学物质”。此处为固定句型:主语+takes/took+时间+to do“某物……需要花费多长时间”。故填to break。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:环境科学家Patrick Grant表示:“我们已经不再关注服装的生产环节,以至于我们不再考虑如何让服装防水。”“这不是魔法;这是化学。”空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少主语,且指代事物,应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:瑞典公司brandFjällräven是引领清洁时尚潮流的公司之一。空处为句子谓语,陈述客观事实,用一般现在时,本句为介词短语置于句首引起的完全倒装,主语Swedish brandFjällräven是第三人称单数,谓语动词用单数形式。故填is。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:在过去的一年里,该品牌一直在教育顾客如何保养更昂贵的不含PFAS的服装。结合时间状语over the past year以及语境可知,本句强调从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作,应用现在完成时,主语the brand是第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has been educating。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:不像早期的防水服装可以保护几乎所有的东西,包括油,新的服装需要更频繁的洗涤。后跟名词词组earlier waterproof clothing作宾语,与之前的防水服进行对比,表示“不像”应用介词unlike,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填Unlike。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:欧盟正在通过一项将于2026年生效的法律禁止在消费品中使用PFAS,这意味着所有服装品牌都必须进行测试并公开声明它们不含PFAS。law“法律”是可数名词的单数形式,此处表泛指,且该词的发音是辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:欧盟正在通过一项将于2026年生效的法律禁止在消费品中使用PFAS,这意味着所有服装品牌都必须进行测试并公开声明它们不含PFAS。修饰动词state“声明”应用副词publicly“公开地”,作状语。故填publicly。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the heavy summer heat, I watched an elderly woman struggle with a walker, weighed down with bags of groceries. Slowing down, I opened the window and called out, “Need a ride? Let me help you with your groceries.”
Getting out of the car, I placed her walker and bags into my trunk. “Bless you, child,” she said. We were off. She directed me to go south. It seemed too far for her to walk. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. She worked as a bagger at the nearby grocery store.
We chatted as if we’d known each other for years. Her name was Ida. She had grandchildren. Suddenly, I realized we were on the “wrong side of town.” It was starting to get dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling.
I was getting more and more uncomfortable, but Ida seemed fine. I stopped the car. Ida directed a couple of the guys to help with her groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Suddenly I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house — the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
It would soon be getting dark. No way was I going to stop for a suspicious stranger on a deserted street. In a panic, I reached down for my purse to grab my cell phone. I had to call 911. But my purse wasn’t there!
注意:
1.写作词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness,” I thought.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s purse.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “She stole my purse! So much for acts of kindness” I thought. Meanwhile, the guy on the motorcycle stayed close and even tried to get in front of me, signaling for me to stop. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a purse on the floor of my car. Yes, there was a purse, but it wasn’t mine. Then I saw the guy right outside my window, waving my purse! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pulled over to the curb, and the young man stopped his motorcycle by the passenger side. Through the window I had opened, he handed me my purse. “Grandma sent me to give you this. She picked it up by mistake. She is so sorry.” He was still smiling. This time, his smile didn’t appear threatening, simply gracious.
I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s purse. Then he took off. After retrieving a few dollars, I waved for the young man to stop, hoping to reward him, but he had disappeared into the night. I did manage to yell, “Thank you!” I had assumed he was a criminal because he looked “wild” but he was really an angel who went out of his way to help a stranger. Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t conform to what we believe is proper. They may not drive a stylish car, live on the “right” side of town, or dress in what we consider to be fashionable, but who’s to say they are not equal to or better than we are?
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个炎热的夏日,作者主动搭载背着杂物的老妇人回家。在到达“城市另一端”老妇人的家时,作者注意到了几个看起来不友善的年轻人,她感到不舒服。后来一个人骑着摩托车跟着作者,天色变暗,作者感到害怕,想拨打求助电话,此时发现自己的钱包不见了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据第一段首句“‘她偷了我的钱包!’我想,善举也就到此为止了。”并结合第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时,我无言以对。”可知,本段可描写骑摩托车的男子拿来了作者的钱包,误会被解开——拿错了钱包。
②根据第二段首句“当我把他奶奶的钱包递给他时,我无言以对。”可知,下文可描写作者还没来得及感谢骑摩托车的男子,他已经消失了,作者也明白了不能以地域判断一个人的好坏。
2.续写线索:认为老妇人偷了自己的钱包——男子送来作者的钱包——误会解开——作者把奶奶的钱包递给男子——还未感谢,人已消失——感悟
3.词类激活
行为类
①示意:signal/gesture
②停车:stop/pull over
③递给:hand/pass
④大叫:yell/shout
情绪类
①亲切的:gracious/kind
②野蛮的:wild/rude
【点睛】【高分句型1】Meanwhile, the guy on the motorcycle stayed close and even tried to get in front of me, signaling for me to stop.(运用了现在分词作状语)
【高分句型2】Sometimes, we misjudge a person’s character because they don’t conform to what we believe is proper.(运用了because引导的原因状语从句和what引导的宾语从句)
