From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as the “Oriental Gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage, and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China’s north and south, the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) ” of the wild bird.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds’ living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds’ living areas, China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and has bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than five square kilometres in 1981 to the current 15,000 km2.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
4. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important for crested ibises?
A. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
B They are where crested ibises were first found.
C. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
D. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
5. What can we conclude from the fourth paragraph?
A. It’s legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
B. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
C. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
D. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
6. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Proud and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.
C. Sorry and regretful. D. Shocked and curious.
7. Which could be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artificial Breeding of Crested Ibises in China
B. Rare Animals in China: Crested Ibises
C. Crested Ibises Found Again in the Qinling Mountains
D. Endangered Crested Ibises Making a Comeback
C
Not many people know the fact but dyeing textiles (染色纺织品) are a huge factor in damaging both human health and the environment. Scientists in Australia may have discovered a way to solve this problem by making changes to the cotton plant’s genes in order for it to naturally produce various coloured cotton.
These scientists have been exploring the concept of trying gene-editing in order to change the colour of natural fibers found in the cotton plant. So far, their experiment has produced coloured cotton in a petri dish (培养皿). Scientists hope that this means they can perfect the process in order to grow the crops in the fields.
Often the agriculture and fuel industries are closely examined for their influences on the environment, but the textile industry is not to be overlooked and certainly has things to feel guilty about. The textile industry contributes 10% of global carbon emissions, largely due to the rise of fast fashion, which sees 80 to 100 billion items of clothes produced annually.
This creates a large amount of physical waste and also contributes to other extremely detrimental effects on the environment. Cotton is quite the thirsty crop, needing 2,700 liters of water to create only one cotton T-shirt. That places extra stress in regions that do not have a steady water supply available. And, textile dyes frequently end up in natural water systems, darkening the water and disturbing the biochemical balance.
Fortunately, people’s desire to protect the environment has been growing over time and more and more people are turning to more sustainable fashion choices. Larger brands have an eye on these trends and are also promising to try to develop more water-free dyeing technologies.
8. How may scientists in Australia solve the problem caused by dyeing textiles?
A. By dyeing the cotton before it is collected.
B. By discovering natural plant-based textile fibers.
C. By transforming the dyes into eco-friendly ones.
D. By changing the cotton’s genes.
9. What does the third paragraph intend to tell us?
A. The rise of fast fashion is to blame for the environmental pollution.
B. The environmental impact of the textile industry should be taken seriously.
C. The clothing industry should be thoroughly examined.
D. The carbon emissions from the textile industry are limited.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Short-term. C. Magical. D. Decisive.
11. What might contribute to the development of dyeing technologies?
A. Clothing producers’ social responsibility.
B. People’s consumption concepts.
C. People’s awareness of environmental protection.
D. Large brands’ desire to keep pace with fashion.
People have traditionally been hired based primarily on the degree they earned, the job they had, or the people they knew. Skills were not a big part of the conversation in the hiring, or in the economy overall. That’s changing. Workers better understand the need to articulate (清晰地表达) the skills they have and the skills they want. And businesses, eager to fill roles in this historically tight labour market, have started to focus on whether people have the skills to get the job done. Skills come first.
We need to take advantage of this momentum (势头). Skills-first hiring needs to become the new way to connect talent to opportunity. The World Economic Forum estimates we’ll need to reskill over one billion people by 2030.
Employees consider opportunities to learn and grow as the primary driver of great work culture, yet our data shows only 52% of employees feel their manager encourages the use of work time to learn new skills. This major disconnect will start to impact employers as the skills-economy continues to grow. By caring about employees’ careers, investing in their skills development, and helping them transform into new roles, companies benefit too. When leaders offer growth opportunities through internal mobility, they keep their employees nearly twice as long as their peers.
A focus on upskilling needs employers to change their concept of business management. Everyone from the top down needs to understand how critical ongoing learning and upskilling is, not only from an employee’s growth perspective (角度), but also for maintaining a company’s competitive edge. The organizations that keep their employees on top of new technologies are the ones that will see success in this new world of work.
Never in the history of the labour market has been a clear or reliable way to understand whether people and jobs are matched in the most efficient way. The labour market has worked from some, but skills can change that. By harnessing (利用) new data and tools that make it easy for people and companies to identify talent based on skills, along with the access to building more diversified and equitable networks, we have the ability to help fill the most in demand jobs based on what a candidate can do. This will not only create greater equity in our economy, but also greater dynamism. It will create new levels of progress and prosperity.
12. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. A skills-first labour market is emerging.
B The skills needed for jobs have changed.
C. There comes a marked shift in business demands.
D. The labour market is becoming more competitive.
13. How can employers benefit from skill training according to the text?
A. It helps improve the stability of the workforce.
B. It develops employers’ decision-making ability.
C. It is helpful in building excellent corporate culture.
D. It enhances employees’ sense of responsibility.
14. What is a requirement for upskilling?
A. A network running on the principle of equity.
B. A mentality shift at the management level.
C. The cooperation between labour and management.
D. A system that encourages self-improvement.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the development of the labour market.
B. To share a unique view about the economy.
C. To explain why the world of work needs to put skills first.
D. To analyze the importance of skills to social progress.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.

From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.
With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as the “Oriental Gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage, and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.
In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China’s north and south, the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) ” of the wild bird.
Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds’ living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds’ living areas, China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and has bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi.
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than five square kilometres in 1981 to the current 15,000 km2.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
4. Why are the Qinling Mountains so important for crested ibises?
A. They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.
B. They are where crested ibises were first found.
C. They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.
D. They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.
5. What can we conclude from the fourth paragraph?
A. It’s legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.
B. Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.
C. The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.
D. Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.
6. How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?
A. Proud and ambitious. B. Relieved and happy.

(1981年,全球该物种仅存7只,仅在中国西北陕西省洋县及秦岭深处被发现,这使得作为中国南北自然分界线的秦岭成为这种野生鸟类的‘诺亚方舟’。)”可知,秦岭是1981年全球仅存7只朱鹮的唯一栖息地,是其得以存续的关键,因此对朱鹮至关重要。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds’ living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds’ living areas, China started the artificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and has bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi.(自1981年以来,洋县当地政府为保护该物种出台了四项禁令,禁止在鸟类生活区狩猎、砍伐它们筑巢的树木、在它们觅食区使用化学品以及在它们繁殖区开枪等行为。中国政府安排专项资金保护朱鹮的栖息地,在鸟类生活区封山造林,中国于1991年启动朱鹮人工繁育工作,在陕西已繁育出400多只朱鹮。)”可知,地方政府出台禁令、中央政府投入资金、启动人工繁育,从多方面推进朱鹮保护,可见政府在拯救朱鹮的过程中发挥了核心关键作用。故选C项。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.(从全球仅存7只到如今全球种群超5000只,中国用了近40年时间将朱鹮从灭绝边缘拯救回来。)”及第五段中的“Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than five square kilometres in 1981 to the current 15,000 km2.(多年的持续努力带来了可喜的成果。据估计,目前全球朱鹮数量已超5000只,其中约一半生活在陕西。这种鸟类在中国的栖息地面积已从1981年的不足5平方公里扩大到如今的15000平方公里。)”可知,文章围绕朱鹮从濒危到数量回升、栖息地扩大的复苏过程展开,“濒危朱鹮喜迎回归”精准概括了全文核心,适合作为标题。故选D项。

Not many people know the fact but dyeing textiles (染色纺织品) are a huge factor in damaging both human health and the environment. Scientists in Australia may have discovered a way to solve this problem by making changes to the cotton plant’s genes in order for it to naturally produce various coloured cotton.
These scientists have been exploring the concept of trying gene-editing in order to change the colour of natural fibers found in the cotton plant. So far, their experiment has produced coloured cotton in a petri dish (培养皿). Scientists hope that this means they can perfect the process in order to grow the crops in the fields.
Often the agriculture and fuel industries are closely examined for their influences on the environment, but the textile industry is not to be overlooked and certainly has things to feel guilty about. The textile industry contributes 10% of global carbon emissions, largely due to the rise of fast fashion, which sees 80 to 100 billion items of clothes produced annually.
This creates a large amount of physical waste and also contributes to other extremely detrimental effects on the environment. Cotton is quite the thirsty crop, needing 2,700 liters of water to create only one cotton T-shirt. That places extra stress in regions that do not have a steady water supply available. And, textile dyes frequently end up in natural water systems, darkening the water and disturbing the biochemical balance.
Fortunately, people’s desire to protect the environment has been growing over time and more and more people are turning to more sustainable fashion choices. Larger brands have an eye on these trends and are also promising to try to develop more water-free dyeing technologies.
8. How may scientists in Australia solve the problem caused by dyeing textiles?
A. By dyeing the cotton before it is collected.
B. By discovering natural plant-based textile fibers.
C. By transforming the dyes into eco-friendly ones.
D. By changing the cotton’s genes.
9. What does the third paragraph intend to tell us?
A. The rise of fast fashion is to blame for the environmental pollution.
B. The environmental impact of the textile industry should be taken seriously.
C. The clothing industry should be thoroughly examined.
D. The carbon emissions from the textile industry are limited.
10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Short-term. C. Magical. D. Decisive.
11. What might contribute to the development of dyeing technologies?
A. Clothing producers’ social responsibility.
B. People’s consumption concepts.
C. People’s awareness of environmental protection.
D. Large brands’ desire to keep pace with fashion.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Often the agriculture and fuel industries are closely examined for their influences on the environment, but the textile industry is not to be overlooked and certainly has things to feel guilty about. The textile industry contributes 10% of global carbon emissions, largely due to the rise of fast fashion, which sees 80 to 100 billion items of clothes produced annually.(农业和燃料工业对环境的影响经常受到密切关注,但纺织工业也不容忽视,当然也有值得内疚的地方。纺织业占全球碳排放量的10%,这主要是由于快时尚的兴起,每年生产800亿至1000亿件衣服)”可推知,本段旨在说明纺织业对环境的影响应该引起重视。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前的“This creates a large amount of physical waste and also contributes to other extremely(这造成了大量的物理废物,也有助于其他极端)”及下文“Cotton is quite the thirsty crop, needing 2,700 liters of water to create only one cotton T-shirt. That places extra stress in regions that do not have a steady water supply available. And, textile dyes frequently end up in natural water systems, darkening the water and disturbing the biochemical balance.(棉花是非常耗水的作物,生产一件棉质T恤需要2700升水。这给没有稳定供水的地区带来了额外的压力。而且,纺织染料经常进入自然水系,使水变暗,扰乱生物化学平衡)”可知,此处在介绍纺织工业对环境的不良影响。由此可知,划线词detrimental与harmful“有害的;不利的”意思一致。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fortunately, people’s desire to protect the environment has been growing over time and more and more people are turning to more sustainable fashion choices. Larger brands have an eye on these trends and are also promising to try to develop more water-free dyeing technologies.(幸运的是,随着时间的推移,人们保护环境的愿望越来越强烈,越来越多的人开始转向更可持续的时尚选择。较大的品牌也在关注这些趋势,并承诺尝试开发更多的无水染色技术)”可推知,正是人们环保意识的增强引发了这一系列的反应,从而促进了印染技术的发展。故选C。
People have traditionally been hired based primarily on the degree they earned, the job they had, or the people they knew. Skills were not a big part of the conversation in the hiring, or in the economy overall. That’s changing. Workers better understand the need to articulate (清晰地表达) the skills they have and the skills they want. And businesses, eager to fill roles in this historically tight labour market, have started to focus on whether people have the skills to get the job done. Skills come first.
We need to take advantage of this momentum (势头). Skills-first hiring needs to become the new way to connect talent to opportunity. The World Economic Forum estimates we’ll need to reskill over one billion people by 2030.
Employees consider opportunities to learn and grow as the primary driver of great work culture, yet our data shows only 52% of employees feel their manager encourages the use of work time to learn new skills. This major disconnect will start to impact employers as the skills-economy continues to grow. By caring about employees’ careers, investing in their skills development, and helping them transform into new roles, companies benefit too. When leaders offer growth opportunities through internal mobility, they keep their employees nearly twice as long as their peers.
A focus on upskilling needs employers to change their concept of business management. Everyone from the top down needs to understand how critical ongoing learning and upskilling is, not only from an employee’s growth perspective (角度), but also for maintaining a company’s competitive edge. The organizations that keep their employees on top of new technologies are the ones that will see success in this new world of work.
Never in the history of the labour market has been a clear or reliable way to understand whether people and jobs are matched in the most efficient way. The labour market has worked from some, but skills can change that. By harnessing (利用) new data and tools that make it easy for people and companies to identify talent based on skills, along with the access to building more diversified and equitable networks, we have the ability to help fill the most in demand jobs based on what a candidate can do. This will not only create greater equity in our economy, but also greater dynamism. It will create new levels of progress and prosperity.
12. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. A skills-first labour market is emerging.
B. The skills needed for jobs have changed.
C. There comes a marked shift in business demands.
D. The labour market is becoming more competitive.
13. How can employers benefit from skill training according to the text?
A. It helps improve the stability of the workforce.
B. It develops employers’ decision-making ability.
C It is helpful in building excellent corporate culture.
D. It enhances employees’ sense of responsibility.
14. What is a requirement for upskilling?
A. A network running on the principle of equity.
B. A mentality shift at the management level.
C. The cooperation between labour and management.
D. A system that encourages self-improvement.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce the development of the labour market.
B. To share a unique view about the economy.
C. To explain why the world of work needs to put skills first.
D. To analyze the importance of skills to social progress.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了小镇新建高铁面临文物保护难题,专家与居民共同努力,最终用数字技术成功保护古庙。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,一位考古学家反对其建设,因为这意味着被视为唯一历史遗产的古老寺庙可能会消失。根据空格后的单数名词archaeologist可知,空格处应该用不定冠词表示“一”,archaeologist的发音是元音音素开头,所以用an。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:如果相关部门让步于他,将会导致巨大的经济损失。give way to“让步,退却;屈服于”是固定搭配。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:如何创造性地在建设和保护之间保持平衡是一个具有挑战性的问题。空格处修饰下文的动词keep,应该用副词creatively作状语。故填creatively。
【39题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:为防止寺庙受到破坏成立了一个委员会。空格处是谓语动词,描述过去发生的事,用一般过去时;主语a committee与动词establish之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态;主语是单数形式,be动词用was。故填was established。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们确保会调查相关线索并进行必要的研究,以尝试解决这个问题。attempt后用不定式作定语,in an attempt to do“企图做;尝试做”是固定搭配。故填to solve。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:成员们参考了以前的文件,并向来自世界各地的专业人士寻求建议。根据空格前的介词to可知,空格处应该名词professional“专业人士”作宾语,可数名词,表示“世界各地的专业人”应该用复数形式。故填professionals。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:许多当地人捐款并为此做出了巨大的贡献。根据空格前的动词made可知,空格处应该用名词contribution作宾语,可数名词,此处应该用复数形式表示泛指。故填contributions。
43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在他们看来,保护优良传统并进一步促进对遗产的欣赏是值得的。it is worthwhile to do/doing“做……是值得的”是固定句型,根据下文的and promoting可知,空格处与promoting是并列关系,所以,此处只能用protecting。故填protecting。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:在他们看来,保护优良传统并进一步促进对遗产的欣赏是值得的。此处表示“进一步”,所以用far的比较级further作定语,修饰下文的名词appreciation。故填further。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们永远不会原谅那些破坏文物的人。空格处引导定语从句,对先行词those进行限定说明,从句中缺少主语,所以,用关系代词who代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填who。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画,但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画,但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天,他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛,他很高兴,但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早,约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知,第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段句首内容“一周后,一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知,第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动,妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言,最后升华文章的主旨:坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索:离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
3.词汇激活
行为类
①猛冲:dash/ dart/ leap
②全神贯注于:be absorbed in/ concentrate on
③期盼:look forward to/long for
情绪类
①高兴的:happily/joyfully/delightedly
②焦急地:anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly
【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. ( 运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语)
【高分句型2】After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. ( 运用了with复合结构)
【高分句型3】Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. (运用了现在分词Knowing作原因状语)
