Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself.” he said.
Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then.
To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments.
He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south.
He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said.
4. Why did Sandoval come to China in 2008?
A. He was not good at studio work in the U. S.
B. He wanted to seek for something different.
C. He had a preference for international work.
D. He was attracted by China’s natural scenery.
5. What does the underlined word “laid-back” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Fast-paced. B. Healthy.
C. Leisurely. D. Simple.
6. Sandoval’s experiences around China are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show .
A. his fascination for Chinese culture
B. his superb photo technique
C. his desire for new careers
D. his diverse hobbies
7. What is the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To praise Sandoval for his studio work in the U. S.
B. To facilitate the development of tourism in Chengdu.
C. To call on readers to take up photography as a hobby.
D. To introduce the experience of a foreign photographer in China.
C
An important lesson in the moral education of children may be closer than imagined — it could be right there in the books they are holding. Stories can be helpful for building moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study.
“Media can greatly influence children’s moral values and get them to place more or less importance on the values according to what is uniquely stressed in that content.” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, a professor in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.
Hahn is first author of the new study, which explores how media content influences children. Many previous studies have focused on wide ideas, like positive or negative effects of specific content. However, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values (care, fairness, loyalty, and authority) might influence the weight that kids place on those values.
Do children who read about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities and build their own morality? The findings suggest so, and further support how this approach can help to teach the moral principles that kids might receive through formal instruction.
For the study, Hahn and her team took the main character from a teen novel and edited the content to create four different story versions (版本). Each version showed one of four moral values that the study focused on. Then those stories were read by about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.
This age group is the best for media research. Hahn explained the reason, “It is more difficult for younger children to understand stories, while it is also challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with simple storylines.” The team then designed a scale (量表) to measure the importance that kids place on moral values, so as to determine how participants might be influenced by specific stories.
8. What is the result of the new study?
A. Stories should be spread more by media.
B. Stories help children develop moral values.
C. Children learn moral values from their parents.
D. Children like reading books full of funny stories.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The branches of media research. B. The impact on children’s literature.
C. The comparison with previous studies. D. The response of the public to the study.
10. Why did the researchers choose participants aged from 10 to 14?
A. Their moral values cannot be easily influenced.
B. They are in a critical stage of moral development.
C. This age group has better moral values than others.
D. They can understand the stories and won’t lose interest.
11. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A social report. B. A blog post. C. A school textbook. D. An education magazine.
D
In Frozen II, the ice queen Elsa returns with her magical control over snow and ice. Snowflakes (雪花) fall from her fingertips and she can use ice to fight fire. How closely does Elsa's icy touch approach reality? Elsa isn't alone in building with ice. In our world, designers can make fantastic structures from ice, too.
Obviously, ice melts (融化) when it 's warm. Melting aside, Elsa's palace still might not be all that strong— structurally anyway. Ice is brittle. "If you're trying to construct a large building, it'd be very hard to get ice to hold a lot of weight,” explains Kenneth Libbrecht, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology.
A small igloo, a small round house built from hard snow, would last longer. Elsa probably should have a spare igloo. Her palace looks to be a single crystal (结晶体) and a crystal of ice is weaker in some directions than others. But in an igloo, each block has thousands of tiny ice crystals in it, each turned a different way. So, no one direction would be weak, as it likely would be in this palace.
"Elsa could strengthen her palace by adding a second material— kind of like the corn in cookies,” Kenneth Libbrecht said. That still inspires some designers, including Arno Pronk from the Eindhoven University of Technology. His team builds structures with ice mixtures. Because the materials are cheap and the structures are short-term, you can do a lot of experiments, he says. "If you strengthen ice with materials like wood pieces or paper, it becomes stronger,” Pronk notes.
Besides, other scientists are thinking about making other ice structures. These researchers are figuring out what it might take to build ice homes on Mars for human explorers. Ice walls might even help protect astronauts from harmful lights, improving safety and creating livable environments for long-term missions on Mars.
"Though still only a concept, our ice home is not science fiction,” says Sheila Thibeault, a physicist from NASA. "The current idea is to cover the ice in plastic. This would help give the ice some structure,” she adds.
12. Why is Elsa's ice magic in Frozen II mentioned?
A. To remind us of the power of snow.
B. To connect to real-world applications.
C. To compare fantasy with physics rules.
D. To stress the structural limitations of ice.
13. What does the underlined word "brittle” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hard B. Smooth C. Variable. D. Breakable.
14. Why is an igloo recommended to Elsa?
A. Its round shape prevents heat loss.
B. It shows similarity to the crystal shape.
C. It offers convenience with many directions.
D. Its multi-crystal structure better spreads stress.
15. What is the possible benefit of building ice homes on Mars?
A. Providing shelter for humans. B. Reducing construction waste.
C. Allowing for quick settlement. D. Helping collect solar power.

47. 读后续写
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where your only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
注意:1. 续写的短文词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.

Sandoval, who comes from Los Angeles, has traveled and filmed in over 50 countries across seven continents and now lives in China. “In 2008, tired of my studio work in the U.S, I came to China, with the hope of trying something different for myself.” he said.
Sandoval is a professional photographer and he went to Chengdu in Southwest China to live in October 2008 and has traveled throughout the country since then.
To him, Chengdu is the capital of a laid-back lifestyle. He was delighted to see that residents, dressed stylishly or comfortably, strolled in the streets “as slowly as snails”. Almost a “walking encyclopedia” of Chengdu, Sandoval covered every corner of Chengdu and recorded Chengduese and their lives with his camera, listening to the sound of mahjong being played and music from traditional stringed instruments.
He also goes from place to place with his heavy travel kit. The various culture and vast, beautiful land has kept him in China much longer than he had planned in the beginning. He remembers a wide range of adventures like exploring a local vineyard and local wine in Yinchuan City, a riding performance by a Mongolian ethnic group in the Shuidonggou Horse Riding Show, and then the totally different experience of visiting the Hainan Free Trade Port in the south.
He thinks he has done a lot in “this beautiful and vast country” with his “travel photos”. “I try to show people the beauty of where I go. I try to inspire them to travel and go to places. I’m hoping to do more international work,” he said.

An important lesson in the moral education of children may be closer than imagined — it could be right there in the books they are holding. Stories can be helpful for building moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study.
“Media can greatly influence children’s moral values and get them to place more or less importance on the values according to what is uniquely stressed in that content.” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, a professor in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences.
Hahn is first author of the new study, which explores how media content influences children. Many previous studies have focused on wide ideas, like positive or negative effects of specific content. However, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values (care, fairness, loyalty, and authority) might influence the weight that kids place on those values.
Do children who read about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities and build their own morality? The findings suggest so, and further support how this approach can help to teach the moral principles that kids might receive through formal instruction.
For the study, Hahn and her team took the main character from a teen novel and edited the content to create four different story versions (版本). Each version showed one of four moral values that the study focused on. Then those stories were read by about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14.
This age group is the best for media research. Hahn explained the reason, “It is more difficult for younger children to understand stories, while it is also challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with simple storylines.” The team then designed a scale (量表) to measure the importance that kids place on moral values, so as to determine how participants might be influenced by specific stories.
8. What is the result of the new study?
A. Stories should be spread more by media.
B. Stories help children develop moral values.
C. Children learn moral values from their parents.
D. Children like reading books full of funny stories.
9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The branches of media research. B. The impact on children’s literature.
C. The comparison with previous studies. D. The response of the public to the study.
10. Why did the researchers choose participants aged from 10 to 14?
A. Their moral values cannot be easily influenced.
B. They are in a critical stage of moral development.
C. This age group has better moral values than others.
D. They can understand the stories and won’t lose interest.
11. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A social report. B. A blog post. C. A school textbook. D. An education magazine.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了新研究表明故事有助于儿童形成道德价值观。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段中“Stores can be helpful for building moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study.(根据一项新研究的结果,故事对培养年轻读者的道德价值观有帮助)”可知,新研究的结果表明故事对儿童道德价值观的形成有帮助。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Many previous studies have focused on wide ideas, like positive or negative effects of specific content. However, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values (care, fairness, loyalty, and authority) might influence the weight that kids place on those values.(许多之前的研究都集中在广泛的想法上,比如特定内容的积极或消极影响。然而,Hahn的研究着眼于阅读具有特定道德价值观(关爱、公平、忠诚和权威)的内容可能会如何影响孩子们对这些价值观的重视程度)”可知,前两句提到许多先前的研究关注宽泛的概念,而Hahn的研究则聚焦于阅读特定道德价值观的内容如何影响孩子对这些价值观的重视程度。此处通过However形成对比,强调新研究与以往研究的差异。因此,第三段主要讨论的是与先前研究的对比。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“This age group is the best for media research. Hahn explained the reason, “It is more difficult for younger children to understand stories, while it is also challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with simple storylines.”(这个年龄段最适合媒体研究。Hahn解释了原因:“年龄较小的孩子更难理解故事,而要让年龄较大的青少年保持注意力也很有挑战性,因为他们对简单的故事情节感到厌烦。”)”可知,研究人员选择10到14岁的参与者是因为这个年龄段的孩子既能理解故事,又不会对故事失去兴趣。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“An important lesson in the moral education of children may be closer than imagine — it could be right there in the books they are holding. Stores can be helpful for building moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study.(在儿童道德教育方面,一个重要的启示或许比我们想象的更近——它可能就藏在孩子们手中捧着的书本里。根据一项新研究的结果,故事对于培养年轻读者的道德价值观是有帮助的)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于故事对儿童道德价值观影响的新研究,由此可推测,这篇文章可能来自一本教育杂志。故选D。
D
In Frozen II, the ice queen Elsa returns with her magical control over snow and ice. Snowflakes (雪花) fall from her fingertips and she can use ice to fight fire. How closely does Elsa's icy touch approach reality? Elsa isn't alone in building with ice. In our world, designers can make fantastic structures from ice, too.
Obviously, ice melts (融化) when it 's warm. Melting aside, Elsa's palace still might not be all that strong— structurally anyway. Ice is brittle. "If you're trying to construct a large building, it'd be very hard to get ice to hold a lot of weight,” explains Kenneth Libbrecht, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology.
A small igloo, a small round house built from hard snow, would last longer. Elsa probably should have a spare igloo. Her palace looks to be a single crystal (结晶体) and a crystal of ice is weaker in some directions than others. But in an igloo, each block has thousands of tiny ice crystals in it, each turned a different way. So, no one direction would be weak, as it likely would be in this palace.
"Elsa could strengthen her palace by adding a second material— kind of like the corn in cookies,” Kenneth Libbrecht said. That still inspires some designers, including Arno Pronk from the Eindhoven University of Technology. His team builds structures with ice mixtures. Because the materials are cheap and the structures are short-term, you can do a lot of experiments, he says. "If you strengthen ice with materials like wood pieces or paper, it becomes stronger,” Pronk notes.
Besides, other scientists are thinking about making other ice structures. These researchers are figuring out what it might take to build ice homes on Mars for human explorers. Ice walls might even help protect astronauts from harmful lights, improving safety and creating livable environments for long-term missions on Mars.
"Though still only a concept, our ice home is not science fiction,” says Sheila Thibeault, a physicist from NASA. "The current idea is to cover the ice in plastic. This would help give the ice some structure,” she adds.
12. Why is Elsa's ice magic in Frozen II mentioned?
A. To remind us of the power of snow.
B. To connect to real-world applications.
C. To compare fantasy with physics rules.
D. To stress the structural limitations of ice.
13. What does the underlined word "brittle” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Hard B. Smooth C. Variable. D. Breakable.
14. Why is an igloo recommended to Elsa?
A. Its round shape prevents heat loss.
B. It shows similarity to the crystal shape.
C. It offers convenience with many directions.
D. Its multi-crystal structure better spreads stress.
15. What is the possible benefit of building ice homes on Mars?
A. Providing shelter for humans. B. Reducing construction waste.
C. Allowing for quick settlement. D. Helping collect solar power.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章由《冰雪奇缘 2》艾莎的冰魔法引入,探讨冰的建筑特性,提及加固冰结构的方法,还介绍科学家研究在火星建冰屋为宇航员提供庇护。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“How closely does Elsa’s icy touch approach reality? Elsa isn’t alone in building with ice. In our world, designers can make fantastic structures from ice, too. (艾莎的冰雪魔力与现实有多接近?并非只有艾莎能用冰建造东西。在我们的世界里,设计师也能用冰打造奇妙的建筑。)”可知,提及《冰雪奇缘 2》中艾莎的冰魔法,是为了自然过渡到现实世界中冰在建筑领域的应用,建立奇幻与现实的关联。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段““If you’re trying to construct a large building, it’d be very hard to get ice to hold a lot of weight,” explains Kenneth Libbrecht, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology.(加州理工学院的物理学家肯尼斯・利布雷希特解释道:“如果你想建造一座大型建筑,很难让冰承受住巨大的重量。”)”可知,冰难以承受重量,说明其“易碎”。由此可推测brittle意为“易碎的”,与D项“Breakable”一致。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Elsa probably should have a spare igloo. Her palace looks to be a single crystal (结晶体) and a crystal of ice is weaker in some directions than others. But in an igloo, each block has thousands of tiny ice crystals in it, each turned a different way. So, no one direction would be weak, as it likely would be in this palace.(艾尔莎或许该备一座备用冰屋。她的宫殿看似是一整块冰晶,而冰晶在某些方向上的强度会弱于其他方向。但冰屋的每一块冰砖里,都包含数千个微小冰晶,且每个冰晶的朝向各不相同。因此,冰屋不会像这座宫殿那样,存在某个脆弱的方向。)”可知,推荐冰屋是因为其多晶体结构能更好地分散压力,避免单一方向脆弱。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“These researchers are figuring out what it might take to build ice homes on Mars for human explorers. Ice walls might even help protect astronauts from harmful lights, improving safety and creating livable environments for long-term missions on Mars. (这些研究人员正在研究如何为人类探险家在火星上建造冰屋。冰墙甚至可能帮助保护宇航员免受有害光线的伤害,提高安全性,并为火星上的长期任务创造宜居环境。)”可知,在火星建造冰屋的潜在好处是为人类(宇航员)提供庇护所。故选A项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences.(字典将科学家定义为具有一门或多门科学专业知识的人,尤其是自然科学)”可知,上文提到了字典对科学家这一名词的解释和理解。C项“它还将科学家定义为使用科学方法的人”接着解释这一名词,与上句构成并列关系,符合逻辑,其中“also”是关键信息。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Curiosity(好奇心)”以及上文“An excellent scientist must be very curious about things.(一个优秀的科学家必须对事物充满好奇心)”可知,该段说明科学家要具备的一个品质就是有好奇心。空格处应该与“好奇心”有关,所以G项“如果一个科学家没有发问甚至好奇的动力,他/她就永远无法进入科学过程的第一阶段”符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Patience(耐心)”以及上文“Becoming a scientist takes a long time.(成为一名科学家需要很长时间)”可知,成为科学家需要很长的时间并且需要一定的耐心。由此推知空格处应该介绍与“耐心”有关的内容。故B项“很少有工作比这个工作需要更长的时间”符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Ethical qualities(道德品质)”以及下文“Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.(坚持用矛盾来证明的旧信念是不诚实的。然而,在没有有力证据的情况下,这种信念不应该改变)”可知,科学家要诚实、坚持真理,这是科学家特征的体现。由此推知,空格处应该介绍与科学家的“道德品质”有关的内容。F项“科学家必须诚实地报告研究结果,而不考虑个人利益或舆论”符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据本段小标题“Working habits(工作习惯)”以及后文“In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new.(除此之外,根据需要,他/她可以很好地单独或小组工作,他/她还需要在纸上和口头上交流想法。网络将他/她与从事类似项目的同事联系起来,在那里他/她可能会发现一些新的东西)”可知,本段主要讲工作习惯,且下句介绍了科学家良好的工作习惯和工作能力。故E项“一个优秀的科学家甚至会记下最微小的观察结果并牢记在心”也是工作习惯。故选 E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了清代女天文学家王贞仪的生平成就及其对天文学的贡献。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:王贞仪是清代天文学家,也是中国历史上最伟大的女科学家之一。此处是“one of+the+形容词最高级+名词复数”结构,表示“最……之一”,本空用形容词最高级greatest“最伟大的”,故填greatest。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她出生于1768年,当时中国的传统习俗禁止女孩接受正规教育,但她很幸运,在一个鼓励她、支持她学习的学者家庭中长大。prevent sb. from doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”,本空用get“得到”的动名词,作宾语,故填getting。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。此处泛指“一个学者家庭”,且family是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰,故填a。
【39题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在古代中国,月食被认为是神秘的、美丽的,是我们无法理解的东西。且根据时间状语In ancient China可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,主语lunar eclipses和动词consider“认为”之间是被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为lunar eclipses,be动词用were,故填were considered。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。本空引导定语从句,先行词something是不定代词,关系词代替先行词在从句中作宾语,应用关系代词that引导,故填that。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:王以创造了一个解释月食的模型而闻名,她对此特别感兴趣。be known for“因……而闻名”,固定短语,故填for。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她用一盏灯、一面镜子和一张圆桌来代表太阳、月亮和地球。use sth. to do sth.“用某物做某事”,本空用represent“代表”的不定式,故填to represent。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:通过移动这三个物体,她能够表明,当月球直接穿过地球后方并进入其阴影时,就会发生月食。空处修饰动词passed,应用副词directly“直接”,作状语,故填directly。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:2004年,国际天文学联合会以她的名字命名了金星上的一个陨石坑,以纪念这位超越时空的女性。time和space为并列关系,用and连接,故填and。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:正是像王贞仪这样的人所做的事情,增加了我们对宇宙的好奇心。空处作increase的宾语,用名词curiosity“好奇心”,故填curiosity。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 读后续写
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall. I personally have hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where your only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

【答案】参考范文:
That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids. She was talking on the phone, and her voice told me she was a gentle and patient lady. The two kids were neatly dressed and waited quietly beside her. This must be a nice family, I thought to myself. Therefore, I approached to make a request. But as soon as I said, “Excuse me madam,” she grabbed both her kids and went away. Did I look like someone trying to hurt people? I felt my heart sinking horribly.
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I didn’t know why but I just stopped him and made my request. I was expecting him to rush past but he immediately called the number of my driver and waited till my car came to be sure I was picked up, turned around before I could thank him adequately and was gone. Surprised by his kindness, I promised I would do likewise to strangers who sought my help.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者试图在繁华的街道上向人求助,看人们会有什么反应。结果女店员、少年以及一位年轻的母亲和她的两个孩子都先后拒绝了作者的求助,但是一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人注意到了作者,帮作者拨打了电话,作者还没来得及好好感谢他,他就转身走了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在那时,我看到一位年轻的母亲和她的两个孩子”和第二段首句“最后,一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人似乎注意到了我”可知,第一段可描写作者向这位母亲求助结果被拒绝,该段段尾可衔接第二段内容。
②由第二段首句内容“最后,一个穿着廉价T恤和脏牛仔裤的男人似乎注意到了我。”可知,第二段可描写穿着简陋的男人帮助了作者,而作者还没来得及好好感谢他,他就转身走了,而作者也想把这样的善意继续传递下去。
2.续写线索:发现母子三人——想要求助——被拒绝——被男人注意到——男人提供帮助——司机来接作者——作者感悟
