专题09 读后续写 主题01 成长励志类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·陕西永寿县中学·期中） No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. The school took part in the league matches every year. However, it never ended well. We were more of the audience, watching and cheering instead of sweating out in the fields. Fortunately, the school held the tradition that the school’s old team was to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. For lack of resources, the old team bad no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game. I was assigned (指派) as the coach of the new team, which was why I was excited. I believed that we were going to win, but to my disappointment, we were defeated. I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I tried to figure out the reason and what I should do next. It didn’t take long before I came to realize that my team was depending on me. Without proper guidance or previous experience, my team was at a loss what to do. I had to change my attitude so that I could bring out the best in them about their ability and potential. I would let my action do the talking. First, I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. I could see their spirits lifted, with their head held high in great confidence. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. Only when they regarded themselves as winners could they willingly invest time and energy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Six months later, football season started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations. We met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football. At first, some complained that even the hardest practice couldn't change the fact that they were the last. The whole team was covered by the sense of depression and failure. What I could do at that time was to company them and try to cheer them up. Encouraged by my persistence, the team gathered the spirit of trying again and practiced even harder. This time, we sweated out in the fields instead of being the audience, watching and cheering. Every inch of the field has seen the effort of my team. Six months later, football season started. After suffering our failure on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills of my life! From the game I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can influence the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves differently, and they built themselves into winners. Winners are made, not born. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在巴克斯利一所学校作足球教练的经历，因为缺乏资源，球队没有教练，甚至也没有为比赛做准备，而作者临危受命，用自己的行动帮助球队进行训练，最终取得了很好的成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“今年暑假，其他的队伍都在享受他们的假期”可知，第一段可描写作者与队伍之间在暑假进行集训的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“六个月后，足球赛季开始了”可知，第二段可描写作者带领团队一路比赛以及最终获得的成绩。 2.续写线索：作者接受学校足球教练的工作——足球队面临的困境——作者激发队员的斗志——足球队一起进行集训——作者带领球队获得的成绩——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 见证：see/witness 尝试：try/make an effort to do sth. 继续：continue/carry on with 情绪类 激动：thrill /excitation 沮丧：depression/disappointment 【点睛】[高分句型1]What I could do at that time was to company them and try to cheer them up.(what引导的主语从句) [高分句型2] My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills of my life!(现在分词作状语) Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·广东河溪中学·期中） Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. It struck endless energy and motivation into his body. His teeth clenched and his eyes fixed on the finish line forward. Suddenly, two figures whizzed past, which startled him. Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank. Just then, he thought of his sweat and his father’s encouraging smile.Gradually, his worry gave way to his confidence and the last 5 minutes saw him dash to the finish line, followed by the end of the race. His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too.The flowers in his heart were already in bloom. His parents came up and gave him a high five, grinning from ear to ear. “Hey, why not try your favorite ice cream and celebrate!” said his father, patting him on the shoulder. “Thanks, Dad, but I have given up the ice cream. It’s not such a lucky charm at all.” His eyes shone with wisdom. It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mike参加游泳比赛之前吃冰淇淋能带给他幸运，但是后面冰淇淋似乎失去魔力，Mike接下来的比赛接连失利使得他不情愿地戒掉甜食，但是比赛还是没有获胜，随后父亲陪他锻炼，在接下来的一次比赛中他获胜了，并感悟一个人的幸运符不过是他的勤奋而已。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他跳入水中时，他踢蹬腿，尽可能地伸展双臂。”可知，第一段可描写他努力冲向终点的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他意识到他打破了自己的最好成绩，也打破了其他人的最好成绩时，他的下巴都掉了下来。”可知，第二段可描写他获胜之后的情形和内心感悟。 2.续写线索：跳入水中——努力向前——落后——想起父亲鼓励的话有了自信——赢得比赛——获胜后的情形——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向……：dash to/rush to ②.咧着嘴笑：grin from ear to ear/ laugh from ear to ear ③.轻拍他的肩膀：pat him on the shoulder/tap him on the shoulder 情绪类 ①.使惊吓：startle/frighten ②.感到他的心狂跳不止：feel his heart pounded frantically/feel his heart beating wildly 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Fearing to fall behind, he felt his heart pounded frantically and his mind went blank.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] It was that day that Mike realized that one’s lucky charm was nothing but his diligence.（运用了强调句） Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·福建泉州中远学校·期中） A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在作者成为高中生前的几个月，父母送作者手机作为礼物，作者沉迷于其中。父亲计划家庭露营时作者很失望，因营地无手机信号。露营首日作者情绪失控，但次日早晨心态有所转变。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我没有把自己埋在手机里，而是专注于其他事情：我的周围环境。”可知，第一段可以描写周围吸引着作者的环境和作者的心态变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“接下来的四天过得很快，有许多有趣的活动。”可知，第二段可以描写作者所进行的 活动。 2. 续写线索：专注于周围环境——没那么糟糕——有趣的活动——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①让：let/have ②创造：create/produce ③想，认为：think/consider 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time.

Every spare minute was spent alone, and no classmates would group with me for projects. Feeling lonely and sad, I was in desperate need of close friends. A girl named Fatin, who was cute, clever and talented, appealed to me deeply. However, she seemed to be avoiding me as well. Being only six years old, I didn’t understand why people treated me like that, I opened up to my mother about all this, almost crying my eyes out. Mom smiled, comforting me until I calmed down. She looked into my eyes and encouraged me, “Honey, don’t worry. They’re just not familiar with you. Try to bring out the best in you. They’ll befriend (做朋友) you as long as they see your advantages.” At that time, I didn’t believe her, but Mom was right. One day, my teacher, Miss Barbara, announced that there was to be a speech competition. I really enjoyed joining in speech competitions. Actually, I was quite good at them. The only problem was that the whole school would be watching me and I knew none of my audience. However, I was determined to do it. I gathered all my courage, went up to the teacher and said, “Miss Barbara, I want to join in the speech competition.” She stared at me, but then I saw a gentle smile on her face. She handed me an application form. The next day, I arrived at school early to submit (提交)my form to the teacher. Miss Barbara said encouragingly to me, “For a new student, you have lots of courage. Do your best, Diya!” Rarely did Miss Barbara praise anyone. Her words lifted up my spirits that day. Until the competition day, I practised my speech whenever possible. I even designed the necessary hand gestures and did repeated practice in front of a mirror. 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。 Then came the big day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I went off the stage with my award, I heard Fatin call my name. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then came the big day.

As I went off the stage with my award, I heard Fatin call my name. Turning around, the girl I admired was waving to me. She approached me and said cheerfully, “Hey, Sneha! You gave us such an amazing speech. Never had I expected you to be so great! Would you like to be friends with me?” “Sure, Fatin.” I happily accepted her friendship invitation without any hesitation.

Then, gazing down at the smiling face of Zoey the Zebra, Michelle scolded, “You’re a big help. How can you be so happy at a time like this?” Looking at the animals, she sighed, “I wish you could all come with me.” She gave them one last glance and went to join her parents in the car. On the way to school. Michelle kept quiet. “Is my favorite first-grader getting nervous?” her dad asked, smiling. Michelle didn’t answer. She was trying to picture what it would be like to play in front of all those audience. “You’ll do fine,” said Mom. “The first time is always the hardest.” When they arrived at the auditorium, Michelle headed backstage. She handed her violin to her teacher for tuning. Looking out, she saw all the seats were filled. Now her stomach was really doing flip-flops. Nervously she took her violin from Mrs. Allen and sat with the other students onstage. She gulped (大口吸气) as her teacher picked up the microphone to begin the program.

A young man in the front looked just like see-more Giraffe, and she was sure that she saw her smiling Zoey, the Zebra. More relaxed now, she remembered her piece. It was almost like being at home. She remembered her piece. As she played, she looked at the crowd. Some of the animals seemed to be changing back into people. But Michelle was no longer nervous. The listeners looked friendly now.

He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression. “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. Shifting uneasily in his chair, he picked up the phone. “Yes, this is Jon,” he said, trying to keep his voice steady. I watched him, my heart pounding. As he continued to speak, his face lit up with an excited smile. When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining. He told me that they were really impressed with his interview, but what really stood out were the thank-you notes. The CEO mentioned that he was touched by the notes and appreciated the effort Jon put into thanking everyone, including the receptionist. I felt a rush of pride and relief. I knew it would work. The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. Surprised, I picked it up, unfolded it, and was greeted with Jon’s familiar handwriting. It was a thank-you note from Jon. He thanked me for pushing him to do his best and for teaching him the importance of gratitude, which had truly changed his life. As I read the note, tears welled up in my eyes. I had always believed in the power of gratitude and a thank-you note, but seeing it come full circle like this was more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. Jon was not only succeeding in his career but also growing into a thoughtful and compassionate man. And that was the greatest gift of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一位母亲教导儿子乔恩写感谢信的重要性，并如何通过实践影响了儿子的生活。母亲强调写感谢信的力量，不仅是对他人的尊重和感激，也是个人成长和成功的关键。乔恩在面试后写了感谢信，这些信最终帮助他在求职过程中获得了优势。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，乔恩接到了公司的电话。”可知，第一段可描写电话的内容——面试官对乔恩印象深刻是因为他的感谢信，同时描述乔恩收到电话后的情绪澎湃，作者感到自豪和宽慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下班后，我在床头柜上发现了一张感谢信。”可知，第二段可描写作者在床头柜上发现了儿子乔恩给她写的感谢信，描述感谢信的内容以及作者的情绪和感悟。 2.续写线索： 乔恩接到面试公司电话——转述电话内容给作者——面试官因为感谢信对乔恩印象深刻——乔恩面试成功——作者发现床头柜下乔恩写给自己的感谢信——介绍信件中的内容——作者最终感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挪动：shift/move ②提及：mention/refer to ③打开：unfold/open 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/exhilarated ②感到骄傲：feel a rush of pride/feel extremely proud 【点睛】[高分句型1].  When he hung up the phone, he turned to me, eyes shining.（句中含有when引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构） [高分句型2].

So it was with Mama’s soup pot. Mama’s soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited (继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom’s flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter? You sick?” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day Sol came over I was very nervous. Mama and the other family members welcomed him with embraces. Soon after sitting at the heavy, deeply stained table, we were instantly faced with bowls of soup. “Sol,” Mama asked, “you know what this is?” “Soup?” Sol responded. “Not soup,” Mama said emphatically. “It’s minestrone!” She then launched into a long explanation of the power of minestrone: how it cured headaches, colds. And Mama even said the soup would make Sol strong. I was so embarrassed, convinced that this would be the last time I would ever see my friend Sol. But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. His initial hesitation gave way to genuine enjoyment. And as the evening progressed, I saw him relax, his rigid posture melting away in my family’s easy atmosphere. When we were saying our good-byes, Sol confided, “You sure have a great family.” Then he added, “Boy, you are lucky!” Lucky? I wondered. Suddenly, it dawned on me that true wealth wasn’t measured in polished silver or spotless kitchens. It was found in the simple joys of family, laughter, and a steaming bowl of Mama’s minestrone soup. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者的母亲做的意大利浓菜汤能够让经济条件不好的移民家庭不挨饿，但作者觉得一份水汪汪的汤暗示着艰难的时期，有一段时间妈妈的汤锅成了他尴尬的来源。作者在学校交了一个好朋友Sol，他的家虽物质条件优渥，但缺少了作者家中那种由母亲的汤所象征的爱、温暖及随意自在的家庭氛围。Sol想要去作者的家里用餐，但是因为家庭环境的不同，作者并不想他到自己家里来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“索尔来的那天，我非常紧张。”可知，第一段可描写作者描写Sol来作者家里吃饭时，作者家人热情的款待Sol，尤其是作者的妈妈，详细的给他解释了什么意大利浓菜汤。作者因此感到非常尴尬，觉得会失去Sol这个朋友。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是索尔很快吃完了他的碗，又要了一碗。”可知，第二段可描写Sol非常喜欢妈妈的做的意大利浓菜汤，并让作者意识到真正的财富存在于简单的快乐之中，存在于母亲做的意大利浓菜汤里。 2.续写线索：答应索尔来做客——热情款待——介绍意大利浓菜汤——尴尬——索尔喜欢意大利浓菜汤以及作者家的家庭氛围——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①欢迎：welcome/greet ②询问：ask/question/inquire ③开始做某事：launch into/jump into/dive into 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/uneasy ②快乐：enjoyment/delight 【点睛】 【高分句型1】And as the evening progressed, I saw him relax, his rigid posture melting away in my family’s easy atmosphere (使用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】 Suddenly, it dawned on me that true wealth wasn’t measured in polished silver or spotless kitchens.(使用了that引导的主语从句) Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·福建南平一中·期中） I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?"

It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与哥哥Brian之间的一次经历，展现了兄弟之间的情感变化以及作者对“真正胜利”的理解。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我正欣赏着这些照片，其中一张吸引了我的目光。”以及第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现自己的哥哥早就知道他们获得了二等奖，却没有揭穿作者。 ②由第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第二段可描写作者向哥哥道歉，也真正理解了兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：作者欣赏着照片，突然发现了一张俩人一起雕刻南瓜的照片——在照片下，哥哥记下了他们一起雕刻南瓜这件事，并感叹虽然没有获得第一名，但是仍然是胜利——作者突然意识到哥哥早就知道了真相，却没有揭穿自己的谎言——作者准备向哥哥坦白，可是哥哥却温柔地自己为两人的团队合作感到自豪——作者非常愧疚，真诚地向哥哥道歉——从此之后，作者真正理解了兄弟情谊。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说谎：lie/ tell a lie ②使……失望：let down/ disappoint ③道歉：apologize/ make an apology 情绪类 ①对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in ②真诚地：sincerely/ genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.（运用了even if引导的状语从句和because引导的状语从句） 主题03 善意助人类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏南师大附中·期中） As the school year wrapped up and the first days of summer vacation stretched out before them, Max, Ava, and Sam had a perfect day planned at their usual community park. This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game. Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash.

It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. _____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I knew I should do something. I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and take out the money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. “Yes, those children need help and need the money more.” I said to myself. My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you. ” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now. ” “Thank you, Grandpa.” I was overwhelmed with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了爷爷送我一个存钱罐，我努力的存钱，想要买自己心仪的自行车。当看到临近省份发生了地震的电视新闻后，我决定把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“我知道我应该做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写作者的最终决定，打破存钱罐，把钱捐给地震灾区的孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“爷爷对我的行为感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷了解了事情的经过后，所做出的决定。 2. 续写线索：存钱——梦想买自行车——看到新闻——捐钱——获得自行车奖励——开心 3. 词汇激活 行为类 回来：come back to/return to 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 以……为傲：be proud of/take pride in 幸福：happiness/blessedness 【点睛】［高分句型 1］Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground.

Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin. “Thief!” I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief. Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!” On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.” I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?” “Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied. “Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back. I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.

Fascinated by the gentle sound of one participant, I was wholeheartedly impressed by his wonderful performance and solid strength. As I flicked my eyes up to glance at the performer, I was so astonished to see a thin face, so familiar, yet now lit up with joy and confidence. The “thief”! For an instant, I was amazed that the kindness I offered to cover the boy’s misconduct would made such a big difference! Paragraph 2: After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box. He asked with a tremble in his voice, with his thin face reddening with excitement, “Sir, do you recognize me? The nephew! It’s your kindness that enlightenes my life, so does your violin. Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” Tears welled up in my eyes.

At the age of eleven, the inseparable twins were always seeking new and exciting adventures. One morning, Mr. Thompson, their favorite teacher, was introducing volunteer work. Leo suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top. “Lily,” whispered Leo. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we climbed to the top of that hill today? It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our lovely village.” Hearing that, Lily’s lace lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagerness. “Oh, Leo. that sounds fantastic!”. With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them. A brilliant idea flashed into Lily’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way? We could clean up our beloved countryside.” Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins.

They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down in different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son. However, Nicholas never showed up. It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What's worse, he didn't have any food or water with him, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink and he was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about Bear Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild that he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren't as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from nearby stream so that he wouldn't dehydrate (脱水）. Then he returned to his cave and slept.

The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile. He went out and followed the sound to find help. He had walked for about a mile when he heard someone calling his name.

The loudspeaker in the classroom came on, calling me to the principal’s (校长的) office. The PRINCIPAL’S office! As I walked to the office, my six-year-old little life flashed before my eyes. What did I do? I was a shy kid. I hated to be noticed or singled out. For me, being called to the principal’s office was a bad dream come to life. My black-and-white shoes scraped (蹭着) the floor as I walked ever so slowly to the office. “Diane, the principal is not ready for you yet. Please have a seat,” said the school secretary. I climbed up onto the sofa and settled as low as I could into the cushions (垫子). After a while, the secretary told me to go in. I pushed open the heavy door. It was worse than I thought. Seated in front of the principal’s desk were my parents. I wouldn’t learn the real reason why they were there until years later. My father walked straight over to me. He held plenty of my drawings, and asked why I only used a black crayon when I drew. I couldn’t speak. All I could do was shrug (耸肩)my bony shoulders. My father then asked me to show him my desk. We returned to my classroom. It was break time so all my classmates were out on the playground. I nervously pointed to my wooden desk. My father pulled out my crayon box. He emptied the contents into his hand. Only one small piece of a crayon rested in his hand - it was black. My father asked where the rest of my crayons were. I quietly explained that I’d given all the other crayons to friends. I’d been sharing like my parents had taught me. My father let out a deep controlled breath, “You were sharing.” I nodded my head. I was too afraid to admit that I only had one crayon. I was too timid (胆小的) to ask for my “shared” crayons back. Because I didn’t stand up for myself, others assumed the worst. 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。 I looked at my father, then at the principal--both their faces were red. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, my father had a heartfelt conversation with me about the difference between “sharing” and “giving”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I looked at my father, then at the principal--both their faces were red. After a moment of awkward silence, the principal allowed me to join my classmates for the break. I waved goodbye to my parents. It was not until years later that I learned my father’s face was red due to anger and the principal’s was red due to embarrassment. The principal, upon seeing all my artwork done in black crayon, assumed that I had deep emotional issues. To him, my crayon choice reflected my “dark nature". He had called my parents in to discuss “my problem”. That night, my father had a heartfelt conversation with me about the difference between “sharing” and “giving”. He explained despite the fact that it’s important to be kind to others, it’s equally important to recognize and value our own happiness and well-being. He stressed that I shouldn't be afraid to speak up for myself and stand on what is rightfully mine. With a gentle tone, he handed me two new boxes of crayons, making it clear that one box was meant for me and me alone. It was a good lesson, and I understood that I could be both generous and protective of my own needs. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小学生活为线索展开，讲述了作者在一年级时，因为画画只用黑色蜡笔，校长认为作者有心理问题，叫来了作者的爸爸妈妈，并且把作者也叫到办公室，经过询问，才知道作者把其他颜色的蜡笔都给了其他同学，自己却没有胆量要回来使用，在父亲的教导下，作者理解了“分享”和“给予”的区别，懂得了既要善待别人也要珍惜自己的道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我看了看父亲，又看了看校长——他们的脸都红了。”可知，第一段可描写父亲和校长脸红的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，父亲和我就‘分享’和‘给予’的区别进行了一次恳切的交谈。”可知，第二段可描写父亲的教导和作者的领悟。 2.续写线索：谈话结束——得知原因——教导——理解——解决问题——明白道理——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 得知：learn/know ②. 解释：explain/interpret 情绪类 ①. 愤怒：anger/wrath ②. 尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Mrs. Harper promised us a field trip if we finished the task perfectly. The air was thick with excitement, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some jobs were more appealing, and we were longing to be assigned the most desirable task. I was on the edge of my seat. Having been Mrs. Harper’s right-hand person last year and granted the title “the most responsible kid”, I was full of confidence. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d get the best job: taking care of Lily, our class alpaca (羊驼)。 When Mrs. Harper started reading the names, I held my breath. “Emma, teaching materials. Jake, blackboard duty.” One by one, all my classmates got their tasks. Then, it was my turn. “Judy!” My heart raced. But when she handed me a small box with silkworm eggs, my heart sank. Mrs. Harper said, “A special job for you.” But I barely heard her. “After all my hard work last year, is this really what I get?” I whispered, angry and disappointed. As soon as the bell rang, I stormed home, footsteps heavy. My mother sensed something. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked gently. I looked up, my tears welling up. “Mom, it’s unfair! Everyone else got cool jobs, but I got stuck with these small silkworm eggs! The class alpaca would have been amazing, but silkworm eggs? I don’t want to take care of them.” I exclaimed, trembling with frustration. 注意： （1）词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother wrapped her arms around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 My mother wrapped her arms around me. “Every task matters,” she said softly. “Even silkworms can teach responsibility.” Her words lingered in my mind. Reluctantly, I decided to try. I researched silkworm care, feeding them fresh mulberry leaves daily. Gradually, tiny eggs hatched into wriggling larvae. Watching them grow, I felt a strange pride. They spun golden cocoons, and I documented each stage carefully, surprising myself with newfound dedication. Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. Mrs. Harper smiled, holding a silk scarf. “Judy’s silkworms produced this. Her effort earned our field trip!” The class cheered. Blushing, I realized Mom was right — no task was too small. Caring for fragile lives taught me patience and commitment, far beyond what I’d expected. Lily the alpaca was great, but my silkworms? They spun more than silk; they wove a lesson I’d never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了模范生Judy是一个习惯了特殊待遇的优等生，作为去年班级里公认的“最有责任心孩子”和老师的得力助手，她新学期任务分配时早早就把照顾班级羊驼Lily视为自己的责任。当其他同学陆续领到黑板值日、教具管理等普通任务时，老师那句“Judy，这是给你的特殊任务”却伴随着一盒蚕卵而非期待的羊驼钥匙——这个从不在学校流泪的完美学生，竟在回家路上踩出重重的脚步声，颤抖着向母亲哭诉“这太不公平了”。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我母亲用双臂抱住了我。”可知，第一段可描写在母亲的安慰下，Judy决定尝试养蚕，并记下蚕的每个阶段。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，是时候宣布“最负责任的孩子”了。”可知，第二段可描写Judy获得胜利，以及感悟。 2. 续写线索：母亲安慰——决定试一试——耐心养蚕——感到骄傲——详细记录——获得称号——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①研究：research/investigate ②记录：document/record ③赢得：earn/win 情绪类 ①不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly ②惊讶的：surprising/astonishing 【点睛】[高分句型1]Blushing, I realized Mom was right — no task was too small.(省略that的宾语从句) [高分句型2]They spun more than silk; they wove a lesson I’d never forget.(省略that的定语从句) Passage 4 （24-25学年高二下·广东惠州东江中学·期中） It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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.

I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s. I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。 2.续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行动类： ①深呼吸：with a deep breath/breathe deeply ②坚持做：insisted on doing/be stick to doing 情绪类： ①热情：enthusiastically /with great passion ②骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?" I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与哥哥Brian之间的一次经历，展现了兄弟之间的情感变化以及作者对“真正胜利”的理解。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我正欣赏着这些照片，其中一张吸引了我的目光。”以及第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现自己的哥哥早就知道他们获得了二等奖，却没有揭穿作者。 ②由第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说？”我震惊地问道。”可知，第二段可描写作者向哥哥道歉，也真正理解了兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：作者欣赏着照片，突然发现了一张俩人一起雕刻南瓜的照片——在照片下，哥哥记下了他们一起雕刻南瓜这件事，并感叹虽然没有获得第一名，但是仍然是胜利——作者突然意识到哥哥早就知道了真相，却没有揭穿自己的谎言——作者准备向哥哥坦白，可是哥哥却温柔地自己为两人的团队合作感到自豪——作者非常愧疚，真诚地向哥哥道歉——从此之后，作者真正理解了兄弟情谊。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①说谎：lie/ tell a lie ②使……失望：let down/ disappoint ③道歉：apologize/ make an apology 情绪类 ①对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in ②真诚地：sincerely/ genuinely 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.（运用了even if引导的状语从句和because引导的状语从句） Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·陕西西安二十六中·期中） I suppose everyone has a particular childhood Christmas that stands out more than any other. For me, it was the year that the Burlington factory closed down. Small child as I was, the events of that Christmas will live forever in my heart. My father, who had been employed at Burlington, never, let us know that we were having financial difficulties. We knew only that our daddy, who usually worked long, difficult hours, was now home more than we had ever remembered. Mama, a homemaker, now sought work in the local textile mills, but jobs were scarce. Therefore, daddy’s unemployment check would now be our family’s only source of income. I don’t know for sure how they managed, but some how they did. They made sure they scraped together enough money to buy each of us a Barbie doll. For the rest of our presents, they would rely on their talents, using waste materials they already had. While dark, rough hands sawed, hammered and painted, flexible fingers fed dress after dress after dress into the sewing machine. Barbie-sized clothes for every imaginable occasion pushed forward from the old machine. Where we were while all of this was taking place, I have no idea. But somehow my parents found time to pour themselves into our gifts, and the excitement of Christmas was once again born for the entire family. That Christmas Eve, the sun was just setting over the distant horizon when I heard the roar of an unexpected motor in the driveway. Looking outside, I could hardly believe my eyes. Aunt Charlene and Uncle Buck had driven all the way from Georgia to surprise us. Packed tightly in their car, as though no air was needed, sat my three cousins. I also couldn’t help but notice many gifts for all of us, all neatly packaged and tied with beautiful bows. They had known that it would be a difficult Christmas, and they had come to help. The next morning we awoke to more gifts than I ever could have imagined — mountains of gifts among all that excitement and laughter. 注意：1．所需词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Daddy decided not to give us his gifts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They were wooden boxes that can be used as a house to store a Barbie doll. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Daddy decided not to give us his gifts. There was no reason for him to give us those hand-made gifts. They were rustic and simple compared with the store-bought gifts that Aunt and Uncle had bought. Although the music of laughter filled the morning, we never suspected that, hidden somewhere, we each had another gift. When Mama asked Daddy about the gifts, he confided his feelings, but Mama insisted he give us our gifts. And so, after the guests had gone, Daddy reluctantly brought his gifts of love to the living room. They were wooden boxes that could be used as a house to store a Barbie doll. Though I don’t really remember any of the other gifts I got that day, those boxes are etched into my mind. I remember every detail of them. I have lived and loved twenty-nine Christmases, each bringing gifts, cherished and longed for. But few of those gifts can be compared with those simple wooden boxes. So it is no wonder that I get teary-eyed when I think of my father, standing there on that cold Christmas morning, wondering if his gift was good enough. Love, Daddy, is always good enough. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候家里经济困难，但是父亲并没有说，爸爸的失业支票是家唯一的收入来源。最后在圣诞节，作者的亲戚都来到作者家里，还带来了很多礼物。父亲在亲戚都离开后，还是把亲手做的礼物送给了孩子们。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸决定不给我们他的礼物了。”可知，第一段可描写父亲不送礼物的原因以及最后还是送了礼物的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“它们是可以用作房子来存放芭比娃娃的木箱。”可知，第二段可描写这些礼物带给作者的感受。 2.续写线索：不送礼物——吐露感受——离开送礼——印象深刻——对父爱感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 渴望：long for/ yearn for 倾诉：confide/pour out 离开：go/leave 情绪类 不情愿：reluctantly /unwillingly 含泪：teary-eyed / tearful 【点睛】[高分句型1] And so, after the guests had gone, Daddy reluctantly brought his gifts of love to the living room.

The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river, a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen, but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 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。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Not until then did the young musician realized he was misunderstood.

Would you mind me playing for you?” Although they didn’t know who the stranger was, they were glad to listen to him play for them. He sat down and began to play. With the music going, the sister and the brother got relaxed and began to enjoy it. He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. Even when the lone candle in the room went out and the moon sent its lovely beams shining into the room, he still played! When he left, it was deep night.

After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. They came from all walks of life—students, retirees and even some stay-at-home parents, each eager to lend a hand. They selflessly devoted their time, skills, and knowledge to tackling piles of the donated bikes. Together, they sorted the bikes by size and condition before the repairs. Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side. With volunteers’ support, Harry was determined to expand the project to more people. And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike. To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. Along with the volunteers, Harry carefully took into account individual preferences, such as bike styles, colors, and sizes, as well as ages, addresses and occupations. With the valuable information, every bike was perfectly tailored to meet the recipients’ needs. Once the bikes were fully repaired, they delivered each bike in person to the recipient’s home, ensuring it was an ideal fit. The recipients were overjoyed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for the thoughtful gesture. This personalized approach not only warmed their hearts but also strengthened community bonds, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and connecting. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了退休老人Harry Caine退休后利用自己的技能免费为社区修理被遗弃的自行车，并将修好的自行车捐赠给有需要的人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“得知Harry的情况后，一群志愿者来帮助他。”可知，第一段可描写志愿者们的构成、他们是如何帮助Harry的，包括对自行车进行分类等工作，以及 Harry 在志愿者帮助下的想法和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“为了让每辆自行车都能匹配到新主人，Harry收集了他们的具体需求。”可知，第二段可描写Harry和志愿者们如何收集并考虑接收者的各种需求，根据需求修理和分配自行车，以及接收者收到自行车后的反应和这个个性化做法带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：Harry工作量大面临困难——志愿者来帮忙——志愿者和Harry分工合作——Harry决心扩大项目 ——收集接收者需求——按需求分配自行车——收获感激和加强社区联系 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮忙：lend a hand/offer help/assist ②处理：tackle/deal with/handle ③考虑：take sth. into account/consider sth./take sth. into consideration 情绪类 ①欢乐的：overjoyed/delighted/elated ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Harry’s garage came alive with energy, filled with laughter and lively conversations as the volunteers worked side by side.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】And he thought it was necessary to offer each of them a right bike.(运用了that引导宾语从句，that被省略) Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·广东化州·期中） As a teacher, I’ve always believed in the importance of teaching my students more than just academics. However, I was growing increasingly concerned about a new problem: plastic waste. I often noticed my students casually throwing away plastic bottles and wrapper around the school grounds. It pained me to see the beautiful campus littered, and I knew that lecturing them about environmental responsibility wasn’t enough. They needed to see and feel the impact firsthand. One Friday afternoon, after witnessing another pile of plastic waste near the playground, I decided to take action. I called a meeting with my class and shared my concerns. “This Saturday,” I announced, “we’re going on a field trip, but it won’t be to the usual places. We’re going to spend a day collecting rubbish in the city. " The students’ reactions were mixed. Complaints erupted immediately. “Why do we have to pick up rubbish? Isn’t this someone else’s job?” Sofia shouted. Emily added, “It’s going to be so hot this weekend! Do we really have to?” I took a deep breath and tried to inspire them. “Think about it,” I said, “each bottle or wrapper you pick up can be recycled into something useful. Moreover, we’re helping to keep our city clean. It’s a good way to show respect for our community and our planet, isn’t it?” I saw a few doubtful faces, but also some nods. Sofia hesitated before saying, “Well, I guess it does sound important.” On Saturday morning, the students gathered at the school, equipped with gloves and rubbish bags. There were still some complaints about the heat and the task ahead as we boarded the bus. The city center, usually active, awaited us with its unfortunate blanket of litter. Upon arrival, I split them into small groups and assigned each a section of the streets to clean. The students looked around, their faces tightening into frowns as they saw rubbish scattered in every direction. “This is a lot more than I thought,” Emily sighed, looking at the piles of rubbish. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I called on my students to start working. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: I called on my students to start working. “Come on, everybody! We can do this. Let’s show others what we are capable of. Imagine the difference we can make together!” I encouraged them. Reluctantly, they began to move, picking up cans, bottles, and wrappers. But gradually, they started working together, sharing stories, and even laughing at the occasional odd items they found. Despite the hard work and the hot sun, the students found joy in seeing the streets transform in front of their eyes. “Hey, we’re actually making a difference,” Emily remarked, her bag now half-full. “This place looks better already.” By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. They had collected a significant amount of rubbish, and the streets looked noticeably cleaner. On the bus ride back, the students discussed ways to keep the school grounds clean and even proposed setting up recycling bins around the campus. Clearly this experience had a great impact on them. The once-reluctant students were now advocates for environmental responsibility, demonstrating their newfound respect for the community and the planet. This day of hard work had turned into a meaningful lesson they would carry with them for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为了教育学生关于环保责任而组织的一次捡垃圾活动的经历，展现了学生们的转变和对环保的认识加深。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我呼吁学生们开始工作。”以及第二段首句内容“到一天结束时，学生们虽然疲惫，但对自己的努力感到自豪。”可知，第一段可描写同学们开始一起工作，虽然辛苦却也开心。 ②由第二段首句内容“到一天结束时，学生们虽然疲惫，但对自己的努力感到自豪。”可知，第二段可描写学生们对这一天的经历充满了感触。 2.续写线索：作者呼吁学生们开始工作——作者鼓励着不太情愿的学生们——虽然抱怨，学生们还是开始动手工作——慢慢地，学生们开始找到乐趣——一天结束的时候，学生们虽然疲倦，但是内心却充满了自豪感——他们收集了大量的垃圾，感觉街道也干净了不少——回校的巴士上，学生们开始讨论如何保持校园清洁——这一次的经历对学生们产生了很大的影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②评论：remark/comment ③建议：propose/suggest 情绪类 ①不情愿地：reluctantly/with reluctance ②开心：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Let’s show others what we are capable of.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】This day of hard work had turned into a meaningful lesson they would carry with them for years to come.（运用了省略关系代词which/that的定语从句） / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题09 读后续写 主题01 成长励志类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·陕西永寿县中学·期中） No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. The school took part in the league matches every year. However, it never ended well. We were more of the audience, watching and cheering instead of sweating out in the fields. Fortunately, the school held the tradition that the school’s old team was to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. For lack of resources, the old team bad no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game. I was assigned (指派) as the coach of the new team, which was why I was excited. I believed that we were going to win, but to my disappointment, we were defeated. I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I tried to figure out the reason and what I should do next. It didn’t take long before I came to realize that my team was depending on me. Without proper guidance or previous experience, my team was at a loss what to do. I had to change my attitude so that I could bring out the best in them about their ability and potential. I would let my action do the talking. First, I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. I could see their spirits lifted, with their head held high in great confidence. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. Only when they regarded themselves as winners could they willingly invest time and energy. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Six months later, football season started. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·广东河溪中学·期中） Mike licked the last of the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out the pool, smiling. He had just won first place, making him the fastest boy in his age group. “Congratulations, son,” his father said. His mom gave him a hug, even though he was soaking wet. A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite ice cream flavor. Mike remembered that the last time he had won a race, he also ate mint chocolate chip ice cream first. Maybe he’d win again. He’s taken first place again in his race. Mike was feeling pretty good. As it turned out, Mike decided to have some mint chocolate chip ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of placing in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn’t admit it, but all that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer’s build. It didn’t take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place – and then third – and then last place in his races. The lucky mint chocolate chip ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. “Mike, we all love ice cream, but it’s not healthy for your body to eat so much of it. Maybe it’s time to quit the sweet treats for a while, especially before you go swimming.”” Mike unwillingly agreed. He went to the swim meet, and didn’t perform well. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help him feel better and strengthen his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing easier at swim practices. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.开头已给出。 Paragraph 1: As he dove into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: His jaw dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·福建泉州中远学校·期中） A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 （24-25学年高二下·陕西兴平西郊中学·期中） With new faces everywhere, the time in Grade 1 was really tough for me. Since I was an Indian girl, nobody wanted to talk to me. Every spare minute was spent alone, and no classmates would group with me for projects. Feeling lonely and sad, I was in desperate need of close friends. A girl named Fatin, who was cute, clever and talented, appealed to me deeply. However, she seemed to be avoiding me as well. Being only six years old, I didn’t understand why people treated me like that, I opened up to my mother about all this, almost crying my eyes out. Mom smiled, comforting me until I calmed down. She looked into my eyes and encouraged me, “Honey, don’t worry. They’re just not familiar with you. Try to bring out the best in you. They’ll befriend (做朋友) you as long as they see your advantages.” At that time, I didn’t believe her, but Mom was right. One day, my teacher, Miss Barbara, announced that there was to be a speech competition. I really enjoyed joining in speech competitions. Actually, I was quite good at them. The only problem was that the whole school would be watching me and I knew none of my audience. However, I was determined to do it. I gathered all my courage, went up to the teacher and said, “Miss Barbara, I want to join in the speech competition.” She stared at me, but then I saw a gentle smile on her face. She handed me an application form. The next day, I arrived at school early to submit (提交)my form to the teacher. Miss Barbara said encouragingly to me, “For a new student, you have lots of courage. Do your best, Diya!” Rarely did Miss Barbara praise anyone. Her words lifted up my spirits that day. Until the competition day, I practised my speech whenever possible. I even designed the necessary hand gestures and did repeated practice in front of a mirror. 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。 Then came the big day. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I went off the stage with my award, I heard Fatin call my name. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 5 （24-25学年高二下·安徽淮北十二中·期中） Michelle finished playing the last note, then bowed to the stuffed animals (填充玩偶) on her bed. “There, three times in a row with no mistakes,” she said. “I just hope I can play it that well at the recital (演奏会).” In just an hour she would be playing her first solo (独奏), and the thought was giving her butterflies. “You’re lucky you don’t have to play by yourself in front of everybody,” she said, smoothing Lea the Leopard’s spotted fur and patting See-more Giraffe on the head. Then, gazing down at the smiling face of Zoey the Zebra, Michelle scolded, “You’re a big help. How can you be so happy at a time like this?” Looking at the animals, she sighed, “I wish you could all come with me.” She gave them one last glance and went to join her parents in the car. On the way to school. Michelle kept quiet. “Is my favorite first-grader getting nervous?” her dad asked, smiling. Michelle didn’t answer. She was trying to picture what it would be like to play in front of all those audience. “You’ll do fine,” said Mom. “The first time is always the hardest.” When they arrived at the auditorium, Michelle headed backstage. She handed her violin to her teacher for tuning. Looking out, she saw all the seats were filled. Now her stomach was really doing flip-flops. Nervously she took her violin from Mrs. Allen and sat with the other students onstage. She gulped (大口吸气) as her teacher picked up the microphone to begin the program. One by one the students played their pieces. Finally, Michelle heard Mrs. Allen announce, “Our last student tonight will be Michelle Merrick, who will play Bach’s Minuet in G Major.” 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Michelle’s heart pounded as she walked toward the front of the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: More relaxed now, she remembered her piece. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题02 亲情友情类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·山东蒙阴一中·期中） “Did you write your thank-you notes?” I asked my son, Jon. “No, not yet, Mom,” Jon replied, rolling his eyes. He promised to do it when he got back from Kim's house. However, I demanded that he not leave the house until he finished writing a note to everyone he came in contact with during the job interview. “Even the receptionist who was rude to me?” Jon asked with a confused expression. “Especially her!” Jon was home on Christmas break from college and had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a rare opportunity considering that jobs were in short supply. The power of a thank-you note is something I drilled into my boy from the time he was old enough to hold a pencil. It didn't matter if it was for a birthday, Christmas or graduation. Every gift had to be acknowledged with sincere gratitude within twenty-four hours. Growing up, my mom was a stickler for thank-you notes. But she phrased it in such a way that it came across not as a threat but as a privilege. She'd say, “Your words of sincere gratitude have the power to change someone's life for the better—even if it's just for a moment.” Her advice changed my life, and it was my hope that it would change Jon's life as well. After an hour, Jon emerged from his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt, even the one to the receptionist who had been less than friendly. Before Jon left to visit Kim, he turned to me and announced that he was pretty sure a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist wasn't going to land him the job. With a smile, I told him to wait and see. Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn't want him living in our basement for the rest of his life! 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 A week later, Jon received a call from the company. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day after work, I found a thank-you note on my bedside table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·浙江杭州学军中学·期中） Mama’s Soup Pot There are too many treasures in life we take for granted, the worth of which we don’t fully realize until they’re pointed out to us in some unexpected way. So it was with Mama’s soup pot. Mama’s soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited (继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom’s flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter? You sick?” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·福建南平一中·期中） I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?"

This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·四川眉山车城中学·期中） One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike. Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it. Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: I knew I should do something. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. _____________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·四川绵竹中学·期中） At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin. “Thief!” I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief. Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael? I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!” On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out? I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.” I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much?” “Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied. “Then, I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back. I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo. Paragraph 1: A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the competition, “Michael” ran to me, holding a violin box. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 （24-25学年高二下·广东茂名高新中学·期中） In the peaceful village of Greenfield, surrounded with rolling hills, lived two curious and adventurous twins, Lily and Leo. At the age of eleven, the inseparable twins were always seeking new and exciting adventures. One morning, Mr. Thompson, their favorite teacher, was introducing volunteer work. Leo suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top. “Lily,” whispered Leo. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if we climbed to the top of that hill today? It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our lovely village.” Hearing that, Lily’s lace lit up with excitement, her heart filled with eagerness. “Oh, Leo. that sounds fantastic!”. With determination in their hearts, the twins worked out a plan. As they walked along the path, they noticed colorful trash scattered about, which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them. A brilliant idea flashed into Lily’s mind. “Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way? We could clean up our beloved countryside.” Excited by the idea, the twins eagerly collected the scattered items. As they reached the foot of the hill, their bags heavy with the collected waste, they came across a recycling center. With excitement, they exchanged their findings for shiny coins. With newfound treasures in their pockets, they climbed up the hill.

They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down in different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son. However, Nicholas never showed up. It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What's worse, he didn't have any food or water with him, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink and he was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about Bear Grylls' survival show Man vs. Wild that he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to help himself out. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren't as strong in the valley where he stood as they were up on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from nearby stream so that he wouldn't dehydrate (脱水）. Then he returned to his cave and slept.

The loudspeaker in the classroom came on, calling me to the principal’s (校长的) office. The PRINCIPAL’S office! As I walked to the office, my six-year-old little life flashed before my eyes. What did I do? I was a shy kid. I hated to be noticed or singled out. For me, being called to the principal’s office was a bad dream come to life. My black-and-white shoes scraped (蹭着) the floor as I walked ever so slowly to the office. “Diane, the principal is not ready for you yet. Please have a seat,” said the school secretary. I climbed up onto the sofa and settled as low as I could into the cushions (垫子). After a while, the secretary told me to go in. I pushed open the heavy door. It was worse than I thought. Seated in front of the principal’s desk were my parents. I wouldn’t learn the real reason why they were there until years later. My father walked straight over to me. He held plenty of my drawings, and asked why I only used a black crayon when I drew. I couldn’t speak. All I could do was shrug (耸肩)my bony shoulders. My father then asked me to show him my desk. We returned to my classroom. It was break time so all my classmates were out on the playground. I nervously pointed to my wooden desk. My father pulled out my crayon box. He emptied the contents into his hand. Only one small piece of a crayon rested in his hand - it was black. My father asked where the rest of my crayons were. I quietly explained that I’d given all the other crayons to friends. I’d been sharing like my parents had taught me. My father let out a deep controlled breath, “You were sharing.” I nodded my head. I was too afraid to admit that I only had one crayon. I was too timid (胆小的) to ask for my “shared” crayons back. Because I didn’t stand up for myself, others assumed the worst. 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。 I looked at my father, then at the principal--both their faces were red. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, my father had a heartfelt conversation with me about the difference between “sharing” and “giving”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·江西武宁二中·期中） It was the first week of the new term, and today was the day when each of us in the class would be assigned a task that we would be responsible for throughout the new school year. Mrs. Harper promised us a field trip if we finished the task perfectly. The air was thick with excitement, and all eyes were fixed on her. Some jobs were more appealing, and we were longing to be assigned the most desirable task. I was on the edge of my seat. Having been Mrs. Harper’s right-hand person last year and granted the title “the most responsible kid”, I was full of confidence. There was no doubt in my mind that I’d get the best job: taking care of Lily, our class alpaca (羊驼)。 When Mrs. Harper started reading the names, I held my breath. “Emma, teaching materials. Jake, blackboard duty.” One by one, all my classmates got their tasks. Then, it was my turn. “Judy!” My heart raced. But when she handed me a small box with silkworm eggs, my heart sank. Mrs. Harper said, “A special job for you.” But I barely heard her. “After all my hard work last year, is this really what I get?” I whispered, angry and disappointed. As soon as the bell rang, I stormed home, footsteps heavy. My mother sensed something. “What’s wrong, honey?” she asked gently. I looked up, my tears welling up. “Mom, it’s unfair! Everyone else got cool jobs, but I got stuck with these small silkworm eggs! The class alpaca would have been amazing, but silkworm eggs? I don’t want to take care of them.” I exclaimed, trembling with frustration. 注意： （1）词数应为120个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mother wrapped her arms around me. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, it was time to announce “the most responsible kid”. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 4 （24-25学年高二下·广东惠州东江中学·期中） It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题02 亲情友情类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江西景德镇一中·期中） I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 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。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?"

For me, it was the year that the Burlington factory closed down. Small child as I was, the events of that Christmas will live forever in my heart. My father, who had been employed at Burlington, never, let us know that we were having financial difficulties. We knew only that our daddy, who usually worked long, difficult hours, was now home more than we had ever remembered. Mama, a homemaker, now sought work in the local textile mills, but jobs were scarce. Therefore, daddy’s unemployment check would now be our family’s only source of income. I don’t know for sure how they managed, but some how they did. They made sure they scraped together enough money to buy each of us a Barbie doll. For the rest of our presents, they would rely on their talents, using waste materials they already had. While dark, rough hands sawed, hammered and painted, flexible fingers fed dress after dress after dress into the sewing machine. Barbie-sized clothes for every imaginable occasion pushed forward from the old machine. Where we were while all of this was taking place, I have no idea. But somehow my parents found time to pour themselves into our gifts, and the excitement of Christmas was once again born for the entire family. That Christmas Eve, the sun was just setting over the distant horizon when I heard the roar of an unexpected motor in the driveway. Looking outside, I could hardly believe my eyes. Aunt Charlene and Uncle Buck had driven all the way from Georgia to surprise us. Packed tightly in their car, as though no air was needed, sat my three cousins. I also couldn’t help but notice many gifts for all of us, all neatly packaged and tied with beautiful bows. They had known that it would be a difficult Christmas, and they had come to help. The next morning we awoke to more gifts than I ever could have imagined — mountains of gifts among all that excitement and laughter. 注意：1．所需词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Daddy decided not to give us his gifts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They were wooden boxes that can be used as a house to store a Barbie doll. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 主题03 善意助人类 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·云南开远一中·期中） It was the golden autumn when a young musician was touring all around the world. The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river, a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen, but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 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。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·福建泉州科技中学·期中） Harry Caine retired from a local power company. After his retirement, he just wanted to do something for his community. One day, he spotted many abandoned bikes, which were gathering dust in the neighbouring garages. “Why not fix them up and give them to those needy?” he thought. So he posted to an online group in his Alaska Homer, offering to fix people’s bikes for free. Soon some neighbors began to donate their abandoned bikes after their kids had outgrown them or adults had upgraded to new models. Then, in Harry’s tidy little garage, he set about working. Its inner walls lined with tools, the garage held a workbench and repair stand. Classic rock music often drifted from its open doors, a sign that Harry was working hard. After Harry’s highly skilled repairs, the donated bikes took on new looks and functioned very well. One Saturday, Harry transported the first batch of six repaired bikes to a nearby food bank, a place that gave food to the poor. He camped out with his Free Bikes sign and waited to see whether the bikes were needed. Five minutes later, a little boy wearing worn-out clothes came up to Harry with a doubtful look, his eyes glued to a blue bike, “Is it really free?” the boy asked. “Yes. If you like it, it’s yours.” Harry answered joyfully. The boy beamed a broad smile. He briskly walked towards the blue bicycle. Then he touched its handle, pressed its bell, and explained how he had dreamed of owning one bicycle. Grinning with delight, Harry watched him pedal away and disappear in the distance. The following 30 minutes saw the remaining bikes ridden away, which gave him a sense of satisfaction. As word of Harry’s project spread, neighbors admirably called him Uncle Harry, and they kept him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and even locks. However, with more abandoned bikes flooding in, Harry had his hands full and the repairing work was more than he could deal with. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Knowing Harry’s situation, a group of volunteers came to help him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To match each bike with its new owner, Harry gathered their specific needs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·广东化州·期中） As a teacher, I’ve always believed in the importance of teaching my students more than just academics. However, I was growing increasingly concerned about a new problem: plastic waste. I often noticed my students casually throwing away plastic bottles and wrapper around the school grounds. It pained me to see the beautiful campus littered, and I knew that lecturing them about environmental responsibility wasn’t enough. They needed to see and feel the impact firsthand. One Friday afternoon, after witnessing another pile of plastic waste near the playground, I decided to take action. I called a meeting with my class and shared my concerns. “This Saturday,” I announced, “we’re going on a field trip, but it won’t be to the usual places. We’re going to spend a day collecting rubbish in the city. " The students’ reactions were mixed. Complaints erupted immediately. “Why do we have to pick up rubbish? Isn’t this someone else’s job?” Sofia shouted. Emily added, “It’s going to be so hot this weekend! Do we really have to?” I took a deep breath and tried to inspire them. “Think about it,” I said, “each bottle or wrapper you pick up can be recycled into something useful. Moreover, we’re helping to keep our city clean. It’s a good way to show respect for our community and our planet, isn’t it?” I saw a few doubtful faces, but also some nods. Sofia hesitated before saying, “Well, I guess it does sound important.” On Saturday morning, the students gathered at the school, equipped with gloves and rubbish bags. There were still some complaints about the heat and the task ahead as we boarded the bus. The city center, usually active, awaited us with its unfortunate blanket of litter. Upon arrival, I split them into small groups and assigned each a section of the streets to clean. The students looked around, their faces tightening into frowns as they saw rubbish scattered in every direction. “This is a lot more than I thought,” Emily sighed, looking at the piles of rubbish. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I called on my students to start working. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the day, the students were tired but proud of their efforts. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
