UNIT 3 素养测评 （时间：90分钟 分值：120分） 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy: Just eat breakfast. The editors of Eat This, Not That! carried out researches to determine some best breakfast foods for weight loss. Black Beans Protein, per 1/2 cup: 7g Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre researchers found that with black beans consumed daily, study participants' fat reduced by 4 percent over two years. Peanut Butter Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils, the real stuff is made with just two ingredients: salt and peanuts. The peanut is filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in a smoothie. Almond Butter Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g “Almond butter is high in protein, fibre and monounsaturated fats,” says Martha McKittrick, a nutritionist. “Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them, likely because it helps you feel fuller.” To get the benefits at breakfast, McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast. Eggs Protein, per two large eggs: 13g “Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat-burning choline,” says McKittrick. Choline, also found in lean meats, seafood and collard greens, attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver, according to Zero Belly Cookbook. The more eggs you eat, the less egg-shaped you get. 1. Which two foods contain the same amount of protein? A. Black beans and eggs. B. Almond butter and eggs. C. Black beans and peanut butter. D. Peanut butter and almond butter. 2. How does almond butter help control weight? A. It helps people sleep better. B. It makes people feel fuller. C. It offers people more protein. D. It makes people burn more calories. 3. Which of the following foods contains fat-burning choline? A. Shellfish. B. Corn. C. Fat. D. Tomatoes. 【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些最适合减肥的早餐食物。 1. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据 Peanut Butter 部分中的“Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g(蛋白质：每 2 汤匙 7~8 克)”以及 Almond Butter 部分中的“Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g(蛋白质：每 2 汤匙 7~8 克)”可知，花生酱和杏仁酱 2 汤匙中的蛋白质含量相同。 2. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据 Almond Butter 部分中的“Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them, likely because it helps you feel fuller.”可知，杏仁酱通过让人们感觉更饱，来帮助控制体重。 3. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据 Eggs 部分中的“Choline, also found in lean meats, seafood and collard greens, attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver, according to Zero Belly Cookbook.”可推知，水生有壳动物含有燃烧脂肪的胆碱。 B There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness. Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes to the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture's food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such. 4. What's the function of food mentioned in the text? A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity. C. To reflect a country's history. D. To show a community's superiority. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The specific traditional food. B. The national culture. C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste. 6. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants? A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes. B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil. C. To make the dishes popular among customers. D. To present their own food culture in a new way. 7. What's the writer's attitude towards different food cultures? A. Negative. B. Balanced. C. Unfair. D. Unchangeable. 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者从食物与文化的关系的角度表达了自己的看法。作者认为传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，是一种文化身份的表达，食物是了解文化的窗口。 4. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.”可知，文中提到食物是一种文化认同的表达。 5. A 【解析】代词指代题。根据第二段中的“On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture...an expression of culture identity.”可知，画线单词指代的是“特有的传统食物”。 6. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries.”可知，一些移民不得不改变他们餐馆原有的菜肴是为了迎合不同的顾客。 7. B 【解析】作者态度题。根据最后一段中的“We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture’s food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.”可知，我们不仅应该通过我们文化的食物来接受我们的文化遗产，还应该通过品尝其他文化的食物来了解别的文化。 C A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realised that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbours would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbours and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learnt how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don't think it's right to criticise one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It's not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected to their certain culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition. 8. What did the writer become aware of? A. He/She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. He/She had various snacks while watching TV. C. He/She damaged his/her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. He/She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. 9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 10. The writer's attitude towards Denmark's way of eating bread is ______. A. neutral (中立的) B. critical C. acceptable D. doubtful 11. What lesson can we learn from the text? A. One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits. C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. 【语篇导读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。用中国人喜欢嗑瓜子和丹麦人喜欢吃面包配咸红鱼来证明饮食习惯来自特定的文化。 8. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realised that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.”可知，作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯。 9. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，春节的时候桌子上会摆放很多糖、水果等，其中就有瓜子，作者就是在那时学会了嗑瓜子。由此可知，作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关。 10. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.”可知，作者认为丹麦人吃面包配咸红鱼是一个很好的传统。由此可知，作者接受这种吃法。 11. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their certain culture.”可知，丹麦人认为这样吃面包是美食，这和他们的特定的文化有关，由此可推知，饮食习惯来自特定的文化。 D Why bother cooking? You don't have time, of course (or you think you don't); that's the big reason. But you also don't do it as well as the professionals, so just let them handle it for you. Or at least let them give you a head start in the form of meal-assembly shops and canned, frozen and prechopped ingredients. Michael Pollan thinks you should bother. His latest book, Cooked, is a powerful argument for a return to home cooking. Scores of food writers and editors, myself included, have long mourned for the increase of companies on the public's diet. We have seen the slow retreat from the kitchen as a primary contributor to America's obesity and other health and environmental problems. But perhaps only Pollan can so effectively pick up the clues of so many food movements, philosophies and research papers and turn them into a persuasive narrative with a clear message. He writes, “The best way to recover the reality of food, to return it to its proper place in our lives is by attempting to master the physical processes by which it has traditionally been made.” Don't challenge him. Because of the power of his writing, Cooked may prove to be just as influential as Pollan's other book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, possibly the single most-quoted text by those caring about how our eating choices affect the planet. As in The Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan knows that his reliability depends on a willingness to practise what he urges, so in Cooked he takes just as much of a hands-on approach as he suggests his readers do. He divides the book into four sections: in this case, the classical elements of fire, water, air and earth. Each represents a type of cooking—barbecue, braising, bread baking and fermentation—and, as the book's subtitle promises, explores cooking as no less than a transformation of nature into food and drink. 12. Which of the following is Pollan's advice? A. Turning to professionals for help. B. Learning the processes of cooking. C. Carrying out many food movements. D. Understanding philosophies about food. 13. What can we infer according to The Omnivore's Dilemma? A. This book is about the dilemma of home cooking. B. The writer advocates a practice-oriented approach. C. The writer aims to express concern over the planet. D. This book shows the writer's reliability on willingness. 14. Which section is likely to mention “fermentation” (in Paragraph 4) in Cooked? A. Air. B. Fire. C. Earth. D. Water. 15. Where does the text most likely originate from? A. A book review. B. A recipe book. C. A health guidebook. D. A scientific journal. 【语篇导读】这是一篇书评。文章介绍了一本烹饪类书籍——Cooked。 12. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段第四句可知，Pollan 建议大家学习烹饪。 13. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可推知，书的作者提倡以实践为导向的方法。 14. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知，fermentation 对应的是 earth 部分。 15. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Michael Pollan thinks you should bother. His latest book, Cooked, is a powerful argument for a return to home cooking.”并结合下文对这本书的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了一本新书 Cooked，故可以判断该篇最有可能源于一篇书评。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch? ___16___ Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch). ___17___ They liked to go hunting. During the hunting break, they would enjoy a mid-morning meal that included meat, eggs and many other things. Today, it is a meal eaten around late morning to early afternoon, usually on weekends.

In Melbourne, brunch culture is also being welcomed. I decided to try it with my friend. We visited a cafe that is famous for its flower theme. ___18___ This theme is also shown in its food and drinks.

C 【解析】根据空前的“Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch?”和空后的“Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch).”可知，C项能够承上启下并且与下文连接通顺，选项中的 choose 对应该空前一句话中的 breakfast or lunch。 17.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour's cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son's nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben's mother remained calm. She realised she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”_____________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared._____________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ One possible version: The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Scratching his head, the boy felt the chocolate was a hot potato. “Did Mum find holes in my excuse?” he thought in disbelief. “You know, all the windows were shut close.” Mother seemed to see him through but continued calmly, “Aren’t you imaginative to tell me the amazing cat?” Still reluctant to give in, the boy threw his head back with a sniff of disapproval. The mother pulled him close and pressed two chocolates into his hand, “An award for the perfect repair.” Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. Instead, how he wished the ground to open up and swallow him! He stammered out the truth, suddenly feeling tons of burden relieved. “So I have to punish you for your lie.” The mother hardened her voice and took back his chocolates. The boy hung his head in shame. “But your honesty deserves the award—a box of chocolates.” The mother suddenly bent to kiss his cheek, speaking gently to the sobbing boy, “My son, honesty values more than any antique.” 第 1 页 共 7 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ UNIT 3 素养测评 （时间：90分钟 分值：120分） 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy: Just eat breakfast. The editors of Eat This, Not That! carried out researches to determine some best breakfast foods for weight loss. Black Beans Protein, per 1/2 cup: 7g Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre researchers found that with black beans consumed daily, study participants' fat reduced by 4 percent over two years. Peanut Butter Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils, the real stuff is made with just two ingredients: salt and peanuts. The peanut is filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in a smoothie. Almond Butter Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7~8g “Almond butter is high in protein, fibre and monounsaturated fats,” says Martha McKittrick, a nutritionist. “Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them, likely because it helps you feel fuller.” To get the benefits at breakfast, McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast. Eggs Protein, per two large eggs: 13g “Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat-burning choline,” says McKittrick. Choline, also found in lean meats, seafood and collard greens, attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver, according to Zero Belly Cookbook. The more eggs you eat, the less egg-shaped you get. 1. Which two foods contain the same amount of protein? A. Black beans and eggs. B. Almond butter and eggs. C. Black beans and peanut butter. D. Peanut butter and almond butter. 2. How does almond butter help control weight? A. It helps people sleep better. B. It makes people feel fuller. C. It offers people more protein. D. It makes people burn more calories. 3. Which of the following foods contains fat-burning choline? A. Shellfish. B. Corn. C. Fat. D. Tomatoes. B There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress. On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness. Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes to the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We should not only embrace our heritage through our culture's food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such. 4. What's the function of food mentioned in the text? A. To help motivate homesickness. B. To show national identity. C. To reflect a country's history. D. To show a community's superiority. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The specific traditional food. B. The national culture. C. A traditional expression of food. D. The old-fashioned taste. 6. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants? A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes. B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil. C. To make the dishes popular among customers. D. To present their own food culture in a new way. 7. What's the writer's attitude towards different food cultures? A. Negative. B. Balanced. C. Unfair. D. Unchangeable. C A British friend told me he couldn't understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds as a snack so much. “I've met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that's from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realised that whenever I'm watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn't like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbours would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year's Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbours and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learnt how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don't think it's right to criticise one's choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It's not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it's a delicacy, and it's connected to their certain culture. I think it's a wonderful tradition. 8. What did the writer become aware of? A. He/She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. He/She had various snacks while watching TV. C. He/She damaged his/her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. He/She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. 9. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 10. The writer's attitude towards Denmark's way of eating bread is ______. A. neutral (中立的) B. critical C. acceptable D. doubtful 11. What lesson can we learn from the text? A. One kind of food doesn't necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits. C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. D Why bother cooking? You don't have time, of course (or you think you don't); that's the big reason. But you also don't do it as well as the professionals, so just let them handle it for you. Or at least let them give you a head start in the form of meal-assembly shops and canned, frozen and prechopped ingredients. Michael Pollan thinks you should bother. His latest book, Cooked, is a powerful argument for a return to home cooking. Scores of food writers and editors, myself included, have long mourned for the increase of companies on the public's diet. We have seen the slow retreat from the kitchen as a primary contributor to America's obesity and other health and environmental problems. But perhaps only Pollan can so effectively pick up the clues of so many food movements, philosophies and research papers and turn them into a persuasive narrative with a clear message. He writes, “The best way to recover the reality of food, to return it to its proper place in our lives is by attempting to master the physical processes by which it has traditionally been made.” Don't challenge him. Because of the power of his writing, Cooked may prove to be just as influential as Pollan's other book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, possibly the single most-quoted text by those caring about how our eating choices affect the planet. As in The Omnivore's Dilemma, Pollan knows that his reliability depends on a willingness to practise what he urges, so in Cooked he takes just as much of a hands-on approach as he suggests his readers do. He divides the book into four sections: in this case, the classical elements of fire, water, air and earth. Each represents a type of cooking—barbecue, braising, bread baking and fermentation—and, as the book's subtitle promises, explores cooking as no less than a transformation of nature into food and drink. 12. Which of the following is Pollan's advice? A. Turning to professionals for help. B. Learning the processes of cooking. C. Carrying out many food movements. D. Understanding philosophies about food. 13. What can we infer according to The Omnivore's Dilemma? A. This book is about the dilemma of home cooking. B. The writer advocates a practice-oriented approach. C. The writer aims to express concern over the planet. D. This book shows the writer's reliability on willingness. 14. Which section is likely to mention “fermentation” (in Paragraph 4) in Cooked? A. Air. B. Fire. C. Earth. D. Water. 15. Where does the text most likely originate from? A. A book review. B. A recipe book. C. A health guidebook. D. A scientific journal. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Which do you like better: breakfast or lunch? ___16___ Brunch gets its name from the first two letters of breakfast (br-) and the last four letters of lunch (-unch). ___17___ They liked to go hunting.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour's cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son's nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben's mother remained calm. She realised she shouldn't just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”_____________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared._____________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 7 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
