阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
From breathtaking landscapes to family favorites, National Geographic Traveler’s Best of the World list is back with the destinations that deserve your attention.
Big Bend National Park
This remote and dry part of west Texas, U. S. A., has more cactus (仙人掌) species than any other national park, as well as birds such as roadrunners and bright yellow Scott’s orioles, and animals such as javelina. But encounters with wildlife seem different in the desert. They remind you that life is where you least expect to find it.
Azores
The Azores, a necklace of nine attractive islands in the middle of the Atlantic, are part of Portugal. These volcanic islands are known for whale-watching and hot springs. The islands’ pools, volcanic lakes, waterfalls and steaming geysers (间歇泉) all bear witness to the violent volcanic forces.
Botswana
The southern African country of Botswana continues to face a series of threats to its expansive, wildlife-rich national parks and game reserves, ranging from illegal hunting to overtourism. But new measures are helping case some of the pressure. The Tuli Block holds animals like leopards and a large elephant population. Visitors can enjoy guided safaris here, experiencing the stunning wildlife up close while supporting conservation efforts.
Guyana
Thick rain forests, vast savannahs (稀树草原), magical mountain ranges and grand rivers-Guyana may be one of South America’s smaller nations, but it holds strong appeal for nature-lovers. Natural highlights range from leopards moving quietly in thick forests to large eagles in the skies and wow-moments like Kaeteur Falls, one of the world’s highest single drop waterfalls.
1. What can we learn about Azores?
A. They are located on the mainland of Portugal.
B. They are famous for desert landscapes.
C. They were formed by volcanic activity.
D. They have the largest whale population in the world.
2. Which destination is endangered by human activities?
A Big Bend National Park. B. Azores. C. Botswana. D. Guyana.
3. For whom is this article most likely written?
A. Scientists who study wildlife protection.
B. Tourists who seek inspiration for their trips.
C. Historians who research volcanic islands.
D. Parents who pick a travel destination for their kids.
B
On April 30, 2025, the U. S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) announced its new members, including Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, who was elected a foreign associate member. This election powerfully recognizes Tu’s lifelong contributions — especially her groundbreaking discovery of artemisinin, a malaria-fighting wonder drug that has saved millions of lives.
Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo in 1930. At 16, her battle with tuberculosis (肺结核) inspired her mission to relieve human suffering through science, leading her to Peking University in 1951, where her strict academic training laid the groundwork for her future work at the intersection (交叉) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern science.
After graduation, she conducted vital research on herbal medicines, clarifying long-standing confusion over plant species. In 1969, Tu led a team to comb through 2,000 ancient TCM texts and folk cures. A 4th-century text eventually inspired a key idea: extracting Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) with ether (乙醚) could preserve its active part. After 190 failed experiments, success came. By 1972, her team had extracted pure artemisinin, proved safety on themselves, and confirmed its effectiveness.
Artemisinin has revolutionized malaria treatment, reducing incidence by 37% and death rate by 60% between 2000 and 2015, saving an estimated 5.9 million children’s lives (WHO, 2015). This achievement earned Tu the 2011 Lasker Award and, in 2015, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — the first Nobel in a scientific field for a Chinese scientist and a landmark for TCM’s global recognition. She later received China’s Highest National Science and Technology Award (2016) and was named among Time’s 100 Most Influential Women (2020).
Nevertheless, Tu remains humble, emphasizing that artemisinin is “a gift from TCM and the collective effort of her team.” At 94, she rises at dawn to monitor resistance trials, records every data point by hand, and personally replies to rural doctors seeking advice. Her humility, resilience, and quiet dedication continue to inspire scientists worldwide.
4. What motivated Tu Youyou’s career in medical science?
A. Reading a 4th-century text on herbal medicine.
B. Fighting against a serious disease at age 16.
C. Studying at Peking University in 1951.
D. Witnessing the deadly impact of malaria.
5. What key step finally led to the success of her study?
A. Heating Artemisia annua in boiling water for hours.
B. Switching from water to ether as the extracting liquid.
C. Testing the 190th sample on laboratory animals.
D. Consulting Western pharmacology textbooks.
6 The last paragraph best reveals that Tu is ________.
A. talented B. ambitious C. cautious D. modest
7. What does the passage mainly convey?
A. Breakthroughs result from commitment and persistence.
B. Individual genius weighs more than teamwork in fighting disease.
C. Global recognition turns local herbs into widespread cures.
D. Future study focuses on developing modern drugs from herbal sources.
C
From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2040 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already ravages more job opportunities than it creates.
But the report states, “Losing occupations does not change what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies.” it states.
A 2024 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe according to Paragraph 1?
A. The complete disappearance of self-driving cars.
B. The sharp decrease in the number of elderly people.
C. The sudden stop of technological development.
D. The rapid replacement of human jobs by AI.
9. What does the underlined word “ravages” mean in paragraph 4?
A. loses B. provides C. replaces D. destroys
10. What might determine the future development of companies according to the report?
A. The number of employees they have.
B. Whether their business is safe from tech-driven change.
C. Their rapid responsiveness and technological strengths.
D. The length of time they have been in business.
11. What can be a suitable title for this text?
A. Will Robots Leave Us Jobless? B. Technology Vs. Humans: Who Wins?
C. AI Rise: How Will It Shape the World? D. Will Small Firms Defeat Large Companies?
D
It seems no one can really agree on the question of “What’s so funny?”. So, imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh. But that’s exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to design, an AI that takes its cues through a shared laughter system. The scientists describe their innovative approach to building a funny bone for the Japanese android “Erica” in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (移情,共鸣),”explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue, an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics. “One way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.”
In the shared-laughter model, a human first laughs and the AI system responds with laughter as an empathetic response. This approach required designing three subsystems — one to detect laughter, a second to decide whether to laugh, and a third to choose the type of appropriate laughter. The type of laughter is also important, because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.
The team tested Erica’s new sense of humor by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system. Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue within the three different conditions — shared-laughter system, no laughter, all laughter — and evaluated the interactions based on human-likeness, naturalness and understanding. The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline(基准).
“Robots should actually have a distinct character, and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviors, such as laughing, eye gaze, gestures and speaking style,” Inoue added, “We do not think this is an easy problem at all, and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”
12. Why does the author mention the question in the beginning?
A. To review different views on humour.
B. To invite readers to join the discussion.
C. To emphasize the difficulty of the research.
D. To clarify the value of a sense of humour.
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The study purpose. B. The working principle.
C. The test result. D. The research impact.
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Erica was designed to tell jokes in four dialogues.
B. Over 130 people had live conversations with Erica.
C. The shared-laughter dialogues came out on top.
D. Listeners laughed most in the shared-laughter system.
15. What is Inove’s attitude towards conversational AI’s development?
A. Realistic B. Optimistic C. Critical D. Indifferent

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why we enjoy fear: the science of a good scare
The thrill of a frightening film can feel incredibly delightful — and mild horror, say researchers, can also help develop lasting psychological toughness. Palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, muscles tense. ____16____ Is this just the relief of having survived — or is it something more?
Fear is an ancient emotion and scary stories are rooted in human history. In early societies, scary tales were used to teach children about dangers they might encounter. ____17____ A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. ____18____
To investigate the relationship between enjoyment and fear, Malmdorf-Andersen studied a group of people who went to a haunted house (鬼屋). The findings indicated that humans don’t like being too far from their normal physiological state. ____19____“There might be a sweet spot between fear and enjoyment.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. “At that spot, a flood of fear quickly followed by relief results in the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain rewarding you with a sudden rush of intense delight.”
____20____ We all have a unique sense of what we find scary — what can be a thrill for one person can be truly terrifying for another. So dare to be scared — but just the right amount.
A. However, keep in mind that everyone is different.
B. Instead they do enjoy being just a little bit out of their comfort zone.
C. Today, what draws people to watch a good scare?
D. When fear dies down, we can be left with feelings of pleasure.
E. This indicates that enjoyment of fear makes sense if you look at it as a “form of play”.
F. As a matter of fact, they prefer to stay in their comfort zones.
G. They are the signs to fight the dangers.

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。
To act with honesty was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought over her past conduct, a blush of shame appeared on her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She was determined that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan’s principles. One Saturday evening she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson’s store, to receive the money of her mother’s washing for him, which amounted to five dollars. When she arrived, she found Mr. Thompson extremely busy. As Susan made her request for the money, he simply pressed a bill into her hand.
With the bill in hand, Susan happily went out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is all mine,” said she to herself. “I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, ‘‘He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it! He will never know it.”
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。
This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil.

On April 30, 2025, the U. S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) announced its new members, including Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, who was elected a foreign associate member. This election powerfully recognizes Tu’s lifelong contributions — especially her groundbreaking discovery of artemisinin, a malaria-fighting wonder drug that has saved millions of lives.
Tu Youyou was born in Ningbo in 1930. At 16, her battle with tuberculosis (肺结核) inspired her mission to relieve human suffering through science, leading her to Peking University in 1951, where her strict academic training laid the groundwork for her future work at the intersection (交叉) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern science.
After graduation, she conducted vital research on herbal medicines, clarifying long-standing confusion over plant species. In 1969, Tu led a team to comb through 2,000 ancient TCM texts and folk cures. A 4th-century text eventually inspired a key idea: extracting Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) with ether (乙醚) could preserve its active part. After 190 failed experiments, success came. By 1972, her team had extracted pure artemisinin, proved safety on themselves, and confirmed its effectiveness.
Artemisinin has revolutionized malaria treatment, reducing incidence by 37% and death rate by 60% between 2000 and 2015, saving an estimated 5.9 million children’s lives (WHO, 2015). This achievement earned Tu the 2011 Lasker Award and, in 2015, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — the first Nobel in a scientific field for a Chinese scientist and a landmark for TCM’s global recognition. She later received China’s Highest National Science and Technology Award (2016) and was named among Time’s 100 Most Influential Women (2020).
Nevertheless, Tu remains humble, emphasizing that artemisinin is “a gift from TCM and the collective effort of her team.” At 94, she rises at dawn to monitor resistance trials, records every data point by hand, and personally replies to rural doctors seeking advice. Her humility, resilience, and quiet dedication continue to inspire scientists worldwide.
4. What motivated Tu Youyou’s career in medical science?
A. Reading a 4th-century text on herbal medicine.
B. Fighting against a serious disease at age 16.
C. Studying at Peking University in 1951.
D. Witnessing the deadly impact of malaria.
5. What key step finally led to the success of her study?
A. Heating Artemisia annua in boiling water for hours.
B. Switching from water to ether as the extracting liquid.
C. Testing the 190th sample on laboratory animals.
D. Consulting Western pharmacology textbooks.
6. The last paragraph best reveals that Tu is ________.
A. talented B. ambitious C. cautious D. modest
7. What does the passage mainly convey?
A. Breakthroughs result from commitment and persistence.
B. Individual genius weighs more than teamwork in fighting disease.
C. Global recognition turns local herbs into widespread cures.
D. Future study focuses on developing modern drugs from herbal sources.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A

From self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2040 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.
A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already ravages more job opportunities than it creates.
But the report states, “Losing occupations does not change what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.
“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies.” it states.
A 2024 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change.” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe according to Paragraph 1?
A. The complete disappearance of self-driving cars.
B. The sharp decrease in the number of elderly people.
C. The sudden stop of technological development.
D. The rapid replacement of human jobs by AI.
9. What does the underlined word “ravages” mean in paragraph 4?
A. loses B. provides C. replaces D. destroys
10. What might determine the future development of companies according to the report?
A The number of employees they have.
B. Whether their business is safe from tech-driven change.
C. Their rapid responsiveness and technological strengths.
D. The length of time they have been in business.
11. What can be a suitable title for this text?
A. Will Robots Leave Us Jobless? B. Technology Vs. Humans: Who Wins?
C. AI Rise: How Will It Shape the World? D. Will Small Firms Defeat Large Companies?
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】

It seems no one can really agree on the question of “What’s so funny?”. So, imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh. But that’s exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to design, an AI that takes its cues through a shared laughter system. The scientists describe their innovative approach to building a funny bone for the Japanese android “Erica” in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy (移情,共鸣),”explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue, an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics. “One way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.”
In the shared-laughter model, a human first laughs and the AI system responds with laughter as an empathetic response. This approach required designing three subsystems — one to detect laughter, a second to decide whether to laugh, and a third to choose the type of appropriate laughter. The type of laughter is also important, because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.
The team tested Erica’s new sense of humor by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system. Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue within the three different conditions — shared-laughter system, no laughter, all laughter — and evaluated the interactions based on human-likeness, naturalness and understanding. The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline(基准).
“Robots should actually have a distinct character, and we think that they can show this through their conversational behaviors, such as laughing, eye gaze, gestures and speaking style,” Inoue added, “We do not think this is an easy problem at all, and it may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”
12. Why does the author mention the question in the beginning?
A. To review different views on humour.
B. To invite readers to join the discussion.
C. To emphasize the difficulty of the research.
D. To clarify the value of a sense of humour.
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The study purpose. B. The working principle.
C. The test result. D. The research impact.
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Erica was designed to tell jokes in four dialogues.
B. Over 130 people had live conversations with Erica.
C. The shared-laughter dialogues came out on top.
D. Listeners laughed most in the shared-laughter system.
15. What is Inove’s attitude towards conversational AI’s development?
A. Realistic B. Optimistic C. Critical D. Indifferent
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A

Why we enjoy fear: the science of a good scare
The thrill of a frightening film can feel incredibly delightful — and mild horror, say researchers, can also help develop lasting psychological toughness. Palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, muscles tense. ____16____ Is this just the relief of having survived — or is it something more?
Fear is an ancient emotion and scary stories are rooted in human history. In early societies, scary tales were used to teach children about dangers they might encounter. ____17____ A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. ____18____
To investigate the relationship between enjoyment and fear, Malmdorf-Andersen studied a group of people who went to a haunted house (鬼屋). The findings indicated that humans don’t like being too far from their normal physiological state. ____19____“There might be a sweet spot between fear and enjoyment.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. “At that spot, a flood of fear quickly followed by relief results in the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain rewarding you with a sudden rush of intense delight.”
____20____ We all have a unique sense of what we find scary — what can be a thrill for one person can be truly terrifying for another. So dare to be scared — but just the right amount.
A. However, keep in mind that everyone is different.
B. Instead, they do enjoy being just a little bit out of their comfort zone.
C. Today, what draws people to watch a good scare?
D. When fear dies down, we can be left with feelings of pleasure.
E. This indicates that enjoyment of fear makes sense if you look at it as a “form of play”.
F. As a matter of fact, they prefer to stay in their comfort zones.
G. They are the signs to fight the dangers.

Dear Frank,

【答案】例文
Dear Frank,
Thank you for recommending both books. I prefer Steve Jobs to Tools and Weapons. As a teenager, I find a real-life story easier to finish than a book full of tech terms. Isaacson spent forty interviews and talked to hundreds of friends to paint Jobs’ life. These stories let us see a boy who had a passion for technology and later built Apple in a garage. When we read how he kept chasing “perfect products,” we will feel excited to try our own small inventions, design better apps, and believe big tech dreams can start from simple curiosity and hard work. So, let’s start with Steve Jobs.
Yours,
Li Hua
Dear Frank,
Thank you for recommending both books. I would rather read Tools and weapons than Steve Jobs. A biography may be exciting, but for our technology-themed activity we need more than one man’s legend. Based on inside Microsoft stories and historical cases, Smith and Browne show us how technology can both help and harm us, and they also call for possible solutions to keep innovation safe. Debating these real dilemmas will sharpen our critical thinking for technological development. So, Tools and weapons might be a better option.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写(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。
To act with honesty was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: “Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.” But when she thought over her past conduct, a blush of shame appeared on her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She was determined that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan’s principles. One Saturday evening she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson’s store, to receive the money of her mother’s washing for him, which amounted to five dollars. When she arrived, she found Mr. Thompson extremely busy. As Susan made her request for the money, he simply pressed a bill into her hand.
With the bill in hand, Susan happily went out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize.
“It is all mine,” said she to herself. “I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too.”
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, ‘‘He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it! He will never know it.”
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。
This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Sir, you paid me two bills instead of one,” she handed him the extra note.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil. she was hurrying home as fast as possible. However, before she got home, the Golden Rule sounded in her ears. Suddenly she turned around and rushed along the road with breathless speed. A few minutes later, she found herself at Mr. Thompson’s inn. He was very surprised to see her.
“Sir, you paid me two bills instead of one,” she handed him the extra note. Moved by the little girl’s honesty, Mr. Thompson pulled out a shilling and offered it to her. Susan refused the money for she didn’t want to be paid for doing right——she only wished he wouldn’t think her dishonest. Desperate to tell her mother what she had done, Susan waved goodbye to Mr. Thompson and returned to her humble home with a lightened heart. Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了Susan在帮妈妈向 Mr. Thompson索要洗衣费的时候,收到了两张纸币,其中一张是 Mr. Thompson不小心多拿出的,在是否将这张多余的纸币据为己有的矛盾中,Susan最终选择了将其还给 Mr. Thompson。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“善与恶的矛盾在她的头脑中不断地进行着”可知,第一段可描写Susan内心的斗争,以及选择将多余的钱还给Mr. Thompson。
②由第二段首句内容“‘先生,你付了我两张而不是一张’她把那张多余的钞票递给他。”可知,第二段可描写Susan将钱归还时Mr. Thompson的回应和Susan内心的感悟。
2.续写线索:回家——内心挣扎——决定归还多余的钱——Mr. Thompson回应及赞扬——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①回家:go back home/return home
②提供:offer/give/provide
③拒绝:shake his head/decline/refuse
情绪类

②感动的:moved/touched
【点睛】[高分句型1]However, before she got home, the Golden Rule sounded in her ears.(由连词before引导的时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] Susan refused the money for she didn’t want to be paid for doing right——she only wished he wouldn’t think her dishonest.(for引导的原因状语从句以及省略that的宾语从句)
[高分句型3]Never would she forget this day through the course of her whole life.(运用Never提前放句首构成的部分倒装)
