You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 21. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 22. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years. When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family. In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Noble Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist. 24. The author believes that women scientists________. A. have more opportunities to become successful B. can not get the highest honors in the world C. go through difficulties to be successful D. had better pay more attention to their families 25. Mary Anning was one of the first women to ________. A. win the Noble Prize for Science after getting married B. make achievements in the study of ancient earth C. research animals and their bones D. study the mystery of all kinds of plants 26. What can we learn about Marie Sklodowska? A. She studied physics in Poland and got a college education. B. She received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 on her own. C. She only got one Nobel Prize during her lifetime. D. She made many discoveries after she got married. 27. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Ancient discoveries. B. Women scientists. C. Successful marriages. D. Different prizes. C In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car! Not all past predictions have been proven wrong. A few of them have been surprisingly accurate. Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the Internet — years before they happened. But for each prediction that has come true, some others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology or whether people really needed these high-tech things in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past. Robot helpers Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he's probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other working environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes. So why hasn’t it happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of tomorrow In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: people desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not — it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn’t always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring. 28. Robot helpers haven't been used in most people’s homes because . A. using this kind of robot at home is simply a waste of time and money B. this kind of robot hasn’t been developed yet C. people find it difficult to control this kind of robot D. this kind of robot won’t bring people practical use 29. The underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably means . A. become popular B. become enjoyable C. come into sight D. come to life 30. What does the author think of the flying car? A. It is too difficult to imagine. B. It is too crazy to realize. C. It is likely to appear in the future. D. It has been the focus of the news. 31. The passage mainly deals with______. A. predictions that catch our imagination B. predictions that haven’t come true C. new technology that can benefit our life D. new technology that is in wide use D Failure is a big part of everyone’s life. The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism to get it right next time, or the time after. I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything. One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered. What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times. Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important — including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think and behave. Ultimately, we will realize life may throw manure at us, but we can grow roses with it. 32. What do people usually think of failure? A. Shameful. B. Unavoidable. C. Changeable. D. Rewarding. 33. Why did the woman give up studying for her university degree? A. She had no interest in studying in university. B. She failed all her exams without exception. C. She was eager to start a singing business to make money. D. She suffered from some disturbance and couldn’t handle study pressure. 34. What can be inferred about the woman’s success? A. It had nothing to do with failure. B. She succeeded easily without any difficulties. C. Failure and the ability to recover and be flexible both mattered. D Only the ability to bounce back and be flexible led to her success. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Failure should be avoided at all costs in tough conditions. B. Singing is a better career than teaching in the case of the woman. C. Flexibility and accepting unchangeable things are key to dealing with failure. D. People with bipolar disorder can’t achieve success whatever their efforts are. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文填空，从短文后的选项中选出能天热空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。 How to make sure you enjoy your trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment Here are the steps on how to make sure your trip is enjoyable. ● Plan it well.

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa — I can’t wait to show you around. It might be your first time in Africa, so let me clear up some common questions. First, of course, not everyone who lives in Africa has dark skin. This land was explored and populated by groups from Europe centuries ago. After that, it was ever controlled by the Dutch and British. Finally, the British gave South Africa its independence in 1961. I happen to be a mix of all these different racial groups, including Asian and native African. Our history has had tension between different groups, so now we celebrate all groups’ equal treatment by honoring Nelson Mandela. He’s the former national leader who brought us together. We’ll learn more about him in the Nelson Mandela Museum, which is the most significant site in the city. We’ll also explore natural landscapes by hiking Table Mountain, seeing penguins in Simon’s Town, and watching waves crash at the Cape of Good Hope. But first, let’s drop your bags at the booked hotel. 第二部分 阅读理解(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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises. Running Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories. High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT) If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes. Jumping rope This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour. Swimming Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water. 21. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour? A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training. 22. Who may also be interested in the third exercise? A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance. C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities. 23. What is the purpose of the text? A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise. C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Running部分的“An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running.(一个普通人在一个小时的跑步中可以燃烧500到1000卡路里)”，High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)部分的“On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.(平均而言，一个人在30分钟内会燃烧400到600卡路里)”，Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.(跳绳一小时可以燃烧600到1000卡路里)”和Swimming部分的“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories.(在短短30分钟的游泳中，一个普通人可以燃烧200到300卡路)”可知，高强度间歇运动一小时燃烧的卡路里是800-1200卡路里，游泳一小时燃烧的卡路里是400到600卡路里，因此高强度间歇训练在一小时内消耗的卡路里最多。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jumping rope部分的“Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump.(跳绳在训练平衡性和协调性的同时，还能很好地加强下半身和上半身的力量，因为在跳绳的时候，你的大脑必须工作)”可知，那些想要平衡的人可能对第三个锻炼也感兴趣。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.(你可能会考虑通过训练来燃烧卡路里。你可以通过下面的练习获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果)”可知，本文主要介绍的是可以获得很好的卡路里燃烧效果的几种锻炼，因此目的是提供燃烧卡路里的方法。故选C。 B Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(化石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years. When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons(骨架) of several animals that no longer existed on the earth.She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family. In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland.She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist.Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Noble Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist. 24. The author believes that women scientists________. A. have more opportunities to become successful B. can not get the highest honors in the world C. go through difficulties to be successful D. had better pay more attention to their families 25. Mary Anning was one of the first women to ________. A. win the Noble Prize for Science after getting married B. make achievements in the study of ancient earth C. research animals and their bones D. study the mystery of all kinds of plants 26. What can we learn about Marie Sklodowska? A. She studied physics in Poland and got a college education. B. She received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 on her own. C. She only got one Nobel Prize during her lifetime. D. She made many discoveries after she got married. 27. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Ancient discoveries. B. Women scientists. C. Successful marriages. D. Different prizes. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了女科学家的事迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists. (一些女科学家从未结婚，一些与丈夫一起工作，还有一些养育了大家庭。对于女性来说成为成功的科学家是经历了困难的。)”可知，作者认为女性科学家经历了许多困难才能获得成功。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. (在19世纪早期的英国， Mary Anning成为第一批因发现地球古代历史而被认可的女性之一。)”可知，Mary Anning是在古代地球研究方面取得成就的女性之一。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. (Marie和Pierre Curie结婚了，并共同做出了许多发现。)”可以推知，Marie Sklodowska结婚后有许多科学发现。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for Science, one of the highest honors in the world. (自古以来，妇女就有科学发现。12名女性获得了诺贝尔科学奖，这是世界上最高的荣誉之一。)”以及后文两个著名的女科学家的事迹可知，本文主要讲述了女科学家的事迹。故选B项。 C In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car! Not all past predictions have been proven wrong. A few of them have been surprisingly accurate. Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the Internet — years before they happened. But for each prediction that has come true, some others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology or whether people really needed these high-tech things in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past. Robot helpers Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he's probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other working environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes. So why hasn’t it happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of tomorrow In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: people desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower? Probably not — it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn’t always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring. 28. Robot helpers haven't been used in most people’s homes because . A. using this kind of robot at home is simply a waste of time and money B. this kind of robot hasn’t been developed yet C. people find it difficult to control this kind of robot D. this kind of robot won’t bring people practical use 29. The underlined phrase “caught on” in Paragraph 6 probably means . A. become popular B. become enjoyable C. come into sight D. come to life 30. What does the author think of the flying car? A. It is too difficult to imagine. B. It is too crazy to realize. C. It is likely to appear in the future. D. It has been the focus of the news. 31. The passage mainly deals with______. A. predictions that catch our imagination B. predictions that haven’t come true C. new technology that can benefit our life D. new technology that is in wide use 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个没有实现的预言。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段可知，机器人保姆的预言没有实现是因为这种机器人不实用。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。上文介绍，过去一家美国公司预言到2000年大部分人在家将会使用可视电话；下一段解释了这个预言没能实现或者可视电话没有普及的原因。由此可知，catch on的意思为“变得流行，普及”。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中It’s not so crazy any more!以及Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.可知，作者认为，“会飞的车”的想法不再疯狂，而且将来有一天会实现。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了几个没有实现的预言。故选B。 D Failure is a big part of everyone’s life. The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism to get it right next time, or the time after. I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything. One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered. What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times. Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important — including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think and behave. Ultimately, we will realize life may throw manure at us, but we can grow roses with it. 32. What do people usually think of failure? A. Shameful. B. Unavoidable. C. Changeable. D. Rewarding. 33. Why did the woman give up studying for her university degree? A. She had no interest in studying in university. B. She failed all her exams without exception. C. She was eager to start a singing business to make money. D. She suffered from some disturbance and couldn’t handle study pressure. 34. What can be inferred about the woman’s success? A. It had nothing to do with failure. B. She succeeded easily without any difficulties. C. Failure and the ability to recover and be flexible both mattered. D. Only the ability to bounce back and be flexible led to her success. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. Failure should be avoided at all costs in tough conditions. B. Singing is a better career than teaching in the case of the woman. C. Flexibility and accepting unchangeable things are key to dealing with failure. D. People with bipolar disorder can’t achieve success whatever their efforts are. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要探讨了如何正确地看待失败，表达了灵活性以及接受不可改变的事物是应对失败的关键的观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. (我们视其为羞耻或尴尬之事，应避免或隐瞒。)”可知，人们通常认为失败是可耻的。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. (她患有躁郁症，无法应对学习压力。)”可知，这个女士因患有躁郁症，无法应对学习压力，所以放弃攻读大学学位。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. (这个女人为何能成功？是的，失败起了很大作用，但能够迅速恢复和灵活变通也是一个重要因素。)”可知，失败以及恢复能力和灵活性对她的成功都很重要，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. (是的，失败起了很大作用，但能够迅速恢复和灵活变通也是一个重要因素。)”和最后一段“The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. (灵活的秘诀在于接受生命中有无法改变之事。)”及全文内容可知，文章主要说明了灵活性以及接受不可改变的事物是应对失败的关键。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文填空，从短文后的选项中选出能天热空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两处为多余选项。 How to make sure you enjoy your trip A trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.

Undoubtedly, AI will make a big difference to tomorrow’s world. On the one hand, with the wide spread application of AI, people are freed from daily routine, and some scientists can push the boundaries of human achievements in fields like space exploration. On the other hand, some people are concerned that not only will AI take over work done by humans, putting an end to the human race but the overuse of AI will make us lazier and less intelligent. In my opinion, we’d better take a cautious attitude towards it. For one thing, the use of AI should be placed under the authority of the government. For another, researchers are expected to further develop AI devices so that they can serve us better. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇开放性作文，探讨人工智能的发展状况、利弊以及作者的个人观点。 【详解】1.词汇积累： 广泛流行：gain wide currency→become widely popular 有重大影响：make a big difference→have a significant impact 结束，终止：put an end to→terminate 谨慎的：cautious→prudent 2.句式拓展： 原句：With the development of advanced technology, artificial intelligence has gained wide currency all over the world. 拓展句：As advanced technology develops, artificial intelligence has become widely popular all over the world. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】 On the other hand, some people are concerned that not only will AI take over work done by humans, putting an end to the human race but the overuse of AI will make us lazier and less intelligent.（运用部分倒装和现在分词作状语） 【高分句型 2】 For another, researchers are expected to further develop AI devices so that they can serve us better.（使用so that引导的目的状语从句 ） 第二节(满分25分) 67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year -old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) perched (栖息) on their window. The father asked his son, “what is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father , I have just now told you, it is a crow!” After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?” At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (生硬回绝) . “It’s a crow , a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “ What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “ Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?’ A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.

Only until then did he realize what a kind and selfless father he has! He loved his son so much but he didn't expect anything in return. He couldn’t help bursting into tears. Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He said to his father with regret,“ I’m so stupid that I hurt you. In no case will I make you annoyed in the future. I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless love on me. But now, it is my turn to do that.’’ Dad smiled proudly and they hugged each other tightly. 【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。一位80岁的老人和他受过高等教育的45岁的儿子坐在家里的沙发上。突然，一只乌鸦停在他们的窗户上。老人反复问儿子那是什么，儿子逐渐变得没有耐心。父亲拿来一本破旧的日记，日记里记录了儿子小时候有一天反复问父亲那是什么，父亲回答了很多次，但一点也不生气，是因为对儿子充满了爱。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“看完日记”可知，第一段可以描写看完日记后，儿子的心理活动和表情。 ②由第二段句首内容“儿子羞愧地跪在父亲面前。”可知，第二段可以描写儿子的语言和父亲的反应。 2.续写线索：读日记—回忆—愧疚—下跪—道歉—保证—相拥 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆：recall/ look back upon ②回答：answer/ reply ③意识到：realize/ be aware of 情绪类 ①眼泪夺眶而出：tears roll down/ burst into tears/ tears burst out ②耐心回答：patiently answer/ answer with patience 【点睛】【高分句型1】His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling annoyed while his father asked him the same question just four times!( 运用了动名词feeling作宾语) 【高分句型2】I’m so stupid that I hurt you.
