Four top picks for the best ocean videos for kids
A Plastic Ocean
Plastic Ocean documents what happens to plastic products after they’re thrown “away”. As the film-makers discover, there is no away. Plastic breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces that end up on beaches, or mistakenly eaten by animals. Craig Leeson, an award-winning journalist, teams up with Tanya Streeter, a world champion freediver. Together, they create a film that combines adventure, travel and science. Kids get to learn how everyday choices affect the health of our oceans
Run time: 1 hour, 42 minutes
Deep Sea
Shot by legendary videographers Howard and Michelle Hall, Deep Sea features the greatest hits of the underwater world. These include turtles, sharks and whales. Kids learn about interdependence among marine (海洋的) life, and why humans need healthy oceans. One reviewer said, “This video features a wide variety of sea life, my three-year-old never gets tired of watching it. As an adult, I am amazed at how many different species they show... and it is very informative... great for family time, educating children/students, etc.”
Run time: 40 minutes
The Blue Planet and Blue Planet Ⅱ
It’s a bit of a cheat to pick both Blue Planet programs, but they’re both outstandingly good. Each hour-long episode features incredible underwater footage (片段) and a key message about the importance of conservation. Some episodes featuring otherworldly-looking creatures are often a favorite with older kids However, some of these may be a little too frightening for little ones.
Run time: 50-60 min per episode
Shark with Steve Backshall
Taking part in conservation can be as simple as inspiring those around you to question what they think they already know. Few animals are as widely misunderstood as sharks. In Shark with Steve Backshall, naturalist Steve Backshall travels around the globe to meet numerous shark species. He shows the audience the real nature of sharks and inspires viewers to get on board with protecting these misunderstood ocean animals.

The groundhog (土拨鼠) has been considered a weather prophet (预言家) for many years in north America. According to legend, all winter long the furry brown groundhog sleeps in his comfortable underground home, or hole. On February 2, he wakes up. The groundhog is very hungry and comes out to search for food. If the sun is shinning, the groundhog will see his own shadow. The sight of his shadow gives him such a fright that he quickly returns to his hole. This event means that spring will not come for six more weeks. If the sun is not shining, there will be no shadow. The groundhog will not be scared and he will stay outside his hole. Spring will come very soon.
The idea that animals could foretell the weather probably began in ancient Europe. At the time, most of the people were farmers and the weather was very important to them. If spring came early they could begin the planting season early and have an early harvest. They found some animals were good weather prophets. On February 2, when they celebrated Candlemas Day, a religious holiday around the time winter ends, all the people watched for an animal leaving its hole. In Germany, farmers watched for a badge. In England farmers looked for a hedgehog (刺猬). They believed the animals could foretell the weather for the next six weeks.
When the early settlers came to North America there no badgers or hedgehogs near their homes. The farmers did not know when to plant their crops. In time they discovered an animal that left its hole at the end of winter. That animal was the groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a marmot. Every February 2 they watched for a groundhog. Finally, the day came to be called “Groundhog Day”. Many groundhog-watching clubs were formed. The members sometimes dressed in nightshirts and top hats made of silk. They would go to the hills in the dark morning and wait near a groundhog hole. Sometimes the groundhog-watching clubs would have other types of celebrations
4. Which of the following will frighten a groundhog according to Paragraph 1?
A. His own shadow B. The shining sun
C. The coming spring D. His underground home
5. According to legend, if it is cloudy on February 2, _____ .
A. spring will come in March
B. winter will end in a short time
C. the groundhog will go on sleeping
D. the groundhog will refuse to go out
6. Why did ancient Europeans watch for animals on Candlemas Day?
A. To amuse themselves.
B. To protect their harvest.
C. To say goodbye to winter.
D. To know when to plant crops.
7. The early North American settlers ____ .
A. wore formal clothes on Groundhog Day
B. tried to catch groundhogs near their homes
C. regarded the groundhog as a weather prophet
D. mistook groundhogs for badgers or hedgehogs
C
In many cities, shared bikes have transformed how people travel short distances. They are convenient, affordable, and eco-friendly. Yet in recent years, studies have shown that not only has the utilization rate of each bike dropped, but complaints about blocked walkways have also risen sharply. Walkways have become piled with abandoned and broken bikes. Residents in some neighborhoods say bike piles make it hard for parents with strollers or older people to move around safely.
The rise and fall of bike-sharing enthusiasm is not without precedent (先例) . In the early days, bright-colored bikes appeared everywhere, and ridership rose sharply. However, without proper regulations, many companies flooded the streets with more bikes than they could manage. Companies like Ofo poured far more bikes onto the streets than they can maintain. Many sat unrepaired for months, turning walkways into messy storage yards. By 2018, the company was in financial trouble, leaving hundreds of thousands of abandoned bikes to rust (生锈) in public spaces.
Some countries have taken action to address the situation. For example, Singapore established designated (指定的) bike parking zones and fines for improper parking. The Paris city government began introducing a licensing system for bike-sharing operators in 2018 to regulate the number of operators and control their fleets. However, in April 2023, Paris residents voted against renewing the operator’s licenses, resulting in an interruption of bike-sharing services in the city.
Despite challenges, bike-sharing remains popular, and cities are experimenting with solutions, trying to balance convenience, safety, and public space. While some residents complain about abandoned bikes, others value the flexibility these services provide. Urban planners should recognize that success depends on the responsibility of both providers and riders. The key may lie not in abandoning shared bikes, but in thoughtful planning, responsible use, and cooperation between operators, governments, and citizens. How they adapt together will determine whether bike-sharing becomes a sustainable urban asset or an ongoing problem.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Many shared bikes are of poor quality
B. Residents have a high demand for shared bikes
C. Shared bikes have created urban inconveniences
D. Shared bikes pose safety risks to children and the elderly
9. What problem does the author want to stress by mentioning the Ofo company?
A. The high cost of bike-sharing services.
B. The poor management of shared bikes.
C. The environmental impact of abandoned bikes.
D. The financial trouble of bike-sharing companies.
10. What can we learn about Paris’ bike-sharing licensing policy from paragraph 3?
A. It failed to gain public support. B. It proved to be highly effective.
C. It was widely accepted by operators. D. It significantly worsened urban traffic.
11. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Strict regulations are key to sustainable urban services.
B. A successful bike-sharing system relies on joint efforts.
C. Governments should be responsible for bike-sharing issues.
D. It is challenging to balance riders’ needs and public concerns.
D
The British countryside, long recognized for its natural beauty, has seen a growing trend — people are picking up forgotten crafts. Many rural communities have begun to embrace old techniques and skills that were once on the verge of extinction. Artisans (工艺匠人) are turning to handcrafted goods as a response to mass production and the over-reliance on modern technology.
In recent years, the British government has shown support for cultural preservation through various initiatives. Programs designed to promote traditional crafts, like pottery, weaving, and woodworking, have gained popularity. One notable initiative is the Heritage Crafts Association, which aims to recognize the best of British craftsmanship and provide funding for full-time artisans. This support ignited a spark, inspiring a new generation of young artisans eager to learn the crafts their grandparents once practiced.
A key factor driving the revival is the increasing demand for sustainable, locally made products. In contrast to mass-produced items, handcrafted goods are viewed as a response to disposable consumer culture and a mark of sustainable quality, offering a personal touch that is hard to imitate. Dr. Emily Carter, a researcher at the University of the Arts London, explains, “Consumers are more conscious than ever about where their products come from. There’s a growing appreciation for items that are not only handmade but also tell a story.”
However, the road to revival is not without challenges. As a carpenter from Yorkshire points out, “We often face the challenge of being recognized on a larger scale. Our work is slow, precise, and on a small scale, which can be hard for people to appreciate in an age of instant gratification (即时满足).” Many artisans struggle to find a steady customer base, as the market for handcrafted goods is still niche (小众的). Despite these challenges, many remain committed to preserving their craft. For many artisans, the revival of their craft is more than just a business — it’s a way to reconnect with their traditions and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of Britain is passed down to future generations.
12. What trend is described in the first paragraph?
A. The revival of traditional crafts. B. The decline of rural communities.
C. The shift towards mass production. D. The growing dependence on technology.
13. How does the Heritage Crafts Association help preserve traditional crafts?
A. By training young craftsmen. B. By funding consumer purchases.
C. By advertising handcrafted goods. D. By supporting artisans’ livelihoods.
14. Which aspect of products are consumers more concerned about today?
A. Their practical value. B. Their brand popularity.
C. Their cultural significance. D. Their environmental impact.
15. What can be inferred about the artisans according to the last paragraph?
A. They focus on innovating the old techniques.
B. They fail to meet current consumer preferences.
C. They view their craft as a meaningful link to heritage.
D. They face the inevitable extinction of their traditional skills.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was once a psychologist at a children’s institution. One day, an adolescent boy turned up in the waiting room. I showed him into my office and pointed to a chair.
“Please sit down,” I said.
The boy, who I later learned was named David, wore a black raincoat that was buttoned up to his neck. Looking pale, he stared at his feet while wringing his hands nervously. He lost his father as an infant, and then lived with his mother and grandfather. But the year before David turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother’s life was taken away in a car accident. Now he was 14 and in foster care.
His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy,” he wrote, “is understandably depressed. He refuses to talk to others. Can you reach him?”
I stared at the note, feeling a heavy weight in my chest. I knew well that some pains run too deep for simple words of comfort. Psychology doesn’t have a magic cure for all human sorrows.
The first two times we met, without a word, David sat hunched up in the chair and only looked at the wall behind me. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn’t shrink back, but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I hesitated a bit. Then I said, “I know it hurts — more than anyone can say.”
He came, and I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that, we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence and without any eye contact.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chessboard and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought.
One afternoon David took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more alive.
Another afternoon, with David beside the chessboard, I thought about how little we know about therapy-about the mysterious process associated with healing. Suddenly, he looked up at me.
“It’s your turn,” he said his voice hoarse and rusty, as if he hadn’t used it in months.
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 totally surprised, and the chess piece in my hand stopped halfway.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: After that day, David changed a lot.

The groundhog (土拨鼠) has been considered a weather prophet (预言家) for many years in north America. According to legend, all winter long the furry brown groundhog sleeps in his comfortable underground home, or hole. On February 2, he wakes up. The groundhog is very hungry and comes out to search for food. If the sun is shinning, the groundhog will see his own shadow. The sight of his shadow gives him such a fright that he quickly returns to his hole. This event means that spring will not come for six more weeks. If the sun is not shining, there will be no shadow. The groundhog will not be scared and he will stay outside his hole. Spring will come very soon.
The idea that animals could foretell the weather probably began in ancient Europe. At the time, most of the people were farmers and the weather was very important to them. If spring came early they could begin the planting season early and have an early harvest. They found some animals were good weather prophets. On February 2, when they celebrated Candlemas Day, a religious holiday around the time winter ends, all the people watched for an animal leaving its hole. In Germany, farmers watched for a badge. In England farmers looked for a hedgehog (刺猬). They believed the animals could foretell the weather for the next six weeks.
When the early settlers came to North America there no badgers or hedgehogs near their homes. The farmers did not know when to plant their crops. In time they discovered an animal that left its hole at the end of winter. That animal was the groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a marmot. Every February 2 they watched for a groundhog. Finally, the day came to be called “Groundhog Day”. Many groundhog-watching clubs were formed. The members sometimes dressed in nightshirts and top hats made of silk. They would go to the hills in the dark morning and wait near a groundhog hole. Sometimes the groundhog-watching clubs would have other types of celebrations
4. Which of the following will frighten a groundhog according to Paragraph 1?
A. His own shadow B. The shining sun
C. The coming spring D. His underground home
5. According to legend, if it is cloudy on February 2, _____ .
A. spring will come in March
B. winter will end in a short time
C. the groundhog will go on sleeping
D. the groundhog will refuse to go out
6. Why did ancient Europeans watch for animals on Candlemas Day?
A. To amuse themselves.
B. To protect their harvest.
C. To say goodbye to winter.
D. To know when to plant crops.
7. The early North American settlers ____ .

In many cities, shared bikes have transformed how people travel short distances. They are convenient, affordable, and eco-friendly. Yet in recent years, studies have shown that not only has the utilization rate of each bike dropped, but complaints about blocked walkways have also risen sharply. Walkways have become piled with abandoned and broken bikes. Residents in some neighborhoods say bike piles make it hard for parents with strollers or older people to move around safely.
The rise and fall of bike-sharing enthusiasm is not without precedent (先例) . In the early days, bright-colored bikes appeared everywhere, and ridership rose sharply. However, without proper regulations, many companies flooded the streets with more bikes than they could manage. Companies like Ofo poured far more bikes onto the streets than they can maintain. Many sat unrepaired for months, turning walkways into messy storage yards. By 2018, the company was in financial trouble, leaving hundreds of thousands of abandoned bikes to rust (生锈) in public spaces.
Some countries have taken action to address the situation. For example, Singapore established designated (指定的) bike parking zones and fines for improper parking. The Paris city government began introducing a licensing system for bike-sharing operators in 2018 to regulate the number of operators and control their fleets. However, in April 2023, Paris residents voted against renewing the operator’s licenses, resulting in an interruption of bike-sharing services in the city.
Despite challenges, bike-sharing remains popular, and cities are experimenting with solutions, trying to balance convenience, safety, and public space. While some residents complain about abandoned bikes, others value the flexibility these services provide. Urban planners should recognize that success depends on the responsibility of both providers and riders. The key may lie not in abandoning shared bikes, but in thoughtful planning, responsible use, and cooperation between operators, governments, and citizens. How they adapt together will determine whether bike-sharing becomes a sustainable urban asset or an ongoing problem.
8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Many shared bikes are of poor quality
B. Residents have a high demand for shared bikes
C. Shared bikes have created urban inconveniences
D. Shared bikes pose safety risks to children and the elderly
9. What problem does the author want to stress by mentioning the Ofo company?
A. The high cost of bike-sharing services.
B. The poor management of shared bikes.
C. The environmental impact of abandoned bikes.
D. The financial trouble of bike-sharing companies.
10. What can we learn about Paris’ bike-sharing licensing policy from paragraph 3?
A. It failed to gain public support. B. It proved to be highly effective.
C. It was widely accepted by operators. D. It significantly worsened urban traffic.
11. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Strict regulations are key to sustainable urban services.
B. A successful bike-sharing system relies on joint efforts.
C. Governments should be responsible for bike-sharing issues.
D. It is challenging to balance riders’ needs and public concerns.

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet in recent years, studies have shown that not only has the utilization rate of each bike dropped, but complaints about blocked walkways have also risen sharply. Walkways have become piled with abandoned and broken bikes. (然而,近年来的研究表明,不仅每辆单车的使用率下降了,关于人行道被堵塞的投诉也急剧增加。人行道上堆满了废弃和损坏的自行车)”可知,第一段描述的现象是共享单车造成了城市不便。故选C项。
【9题详解】

Companies like Ofo poured far more bikes onto the streets than they can maintain. (然而,由于缺乏适当的监管,许多公司向街道投放了远超其管理能力的自行车。像Ofo这样的公司向街道投放的自行车数量远超出其维护能力)”可知,作者提到Ofo公司是为了强调共享单车管理不善的问题。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, in April 2023, Paris residents voted against renewing the operator’s licenses, resulting in an interruption of bike-sharing services in the city. (然而,在2023年4月,巴黎居民投票反对续签运营商的许可证,导致该市的共享单车服务中断)”可知,巴黎的共享单车许可政策未能获得公众支持。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The key may lie not in abandoning shared bikes, but in thoughtful planning, responsible use, and cooperation between operators, governments, and citizens. (关键可能不在于放弃共享单车,而在于周密的规划、负责任的使用以及运营商、政府和市民之间的合作)”可知,所以作者可能认同“成功的共享单车系统依赖于多方共同努力”这一说法。故选B项。

The British countryside, long recognized for its natural beauty, has seen a growing trend — people are picking up forgotten crafts. Many rural communities have begun to embrace old techniques and skills that were once on the verge of extinction. Artisans (工艺匠人) are turning to handcrafted goods as a response to mass production and the over-reliance on modern technology.
In recent years, the British government has shown support for cultural preservation through various initiatives. Programs designed to promote traditional crafts, like pottery, weaving, and woodworking, have gained popularity. One notable initiative is the Heritage Crafts Association, which aims to recognize the best of British craftsmanship and provide funding for full-time artisans. This support ignited a spark, inspiring a new generation of young artisans eager to learn the crafts their grandparents once practiced.
A key factor driving the revival is the increasing demand for sustainable, locally made products. In contrast to mass-produced items, handcrafted goods are viewed as a response to disposable consumer culture and a mark of sustainable quality, offering a personal touch that is hard to imitate. Dr. Emily Carter, a researcher at the University of the Arts London, explains, “Consumers are more conscious than ever about where their products come from. There’s a growing appreciation for items that are not only handmade but also tell a story.”
However, the road to revival is not without challenges. As a carpenter from Yorkshire points out, “We often face the challenge of being recognized on a larger scale. Our work is slow, precise, and on a small scale, which can be hard for people to appreciate in an age of instant gratification (即时满足).” Many artisans struggle to find a steady customer base, as the market for handcrafted goods is still niche (小众的). Despite these challenges, many remain committed to preserving their craft. For many artisans, the revival of their craft is more than just a business — it’s a way to reconnect with their traditions and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of Britain is passed down to future generations.
12. What trend is described in the first paragraph?
A. The revival of traditional crafts. B. The decline of rural communities.
C. The shift towards mass production. D. The growing dependence on technology.
13. How does the Heritage Crafts Association help preserve traditional crafts?
A. By training young craftsmen. B. By funding consumer purchases.
C. By advertising handcrafted goods. D. By supporting artisans’ livelihoods.
14. Which aspect of products are consumers more concerned about today?
A. Their practical value. B. Their brand popularity.
C. Their cultural significance. D. Their environmental impact.
15. What can be inferred about the artisans according to the last paragraph?
A. They focus on innovating the old techniques.
B. They fail to meet current consumer preferences.
C. They view their craft as a meaningful link to heritage.
D. They face the inevitable extinction of their traditional skills.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For many artisans, the revival of their craft is more than just a business — it’s a way to reconnect with their traditions and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of Britain is passed down to future generations.(对于许多工艺匠人来说,手工艺的复兴不仅仅是一门生意,更是一种与传统文化重新连接的方式,也是确保英国丰富的文化遗产能够传承给后代的重要途径)”可知,手工艺人将自己的手艺视为与文化遗产的有意义联系。故选C。

【17题详解】
空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Make a playlist featuring songs about gratitude for your fiends. Let your friends know those songs represent the way you feel about their presence in your life. Music is a great way to develop a good sense of emotional connection.( 制作一个播放列表,收录那些表达对朋友感激之情的歌曲。让你的朋友知道,这些歌曲代表了你对他们在你生活中的存在的感受。音乐是培养良好情感联系的好方法。)”可知,本段介绍通过制作播放列表感激朋友,A项“让他们成为播放列表”总结本段主旨。故选A。

You can send it to your friend in an email or go the old-fashioned route and put pen to paper.(花点时间写下所有你感激你朋友的地方。你可以把它通过电子邮件发送给你的朋友,或者用传统的方式把它写在纸上。)”说明把对朋友的感激写在纸上,通过邮件或者书信的形式发给朋友,E项中的“a quick text”呼应上文的“email”和“paper”,因此E项“即使是简短的短信也是表达感激之情的一种简单但有效的方式”符合语境,承接上文。故选E。

As much as you may need to express, you need to listen and empathize, too.( 你的朋友可能正面临着和你一样的不确定和焦虑。尽管你可能需要表达,但你也需要倾听和同情。)”说明在朋友处于困境时,也要倾听朋友并给予同情,因此推断空处承上启下,G项“确保你通过为他们做同样的事情来维持你的关系”符合语境,朋友帮助我们,我们也应该帮助朋友。故选G。
【20题详解】
前文“It can be easy to forget to thank your friends for the ways that they support us.( 我们很容易忘记感谢朋友对我们的支持。)”说明我们会忘记感谢我们的朋友的支持,下文“Be sure to express your gratitude to them.( 一定要向他们表达你的感激之情。)”说明我们应该感谢朋友,因此推断C项“不要把你的朋友视为想当然”符合语境,承上启下,说明不能把朋友的支持和帮助视为相当然,要记住感谢朋友。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在新西兰最大城市奥克兰举行的“感知中国:敦煌文化走进新西兰”活动。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:此次展览由甘肃省新闻办公室和敦煌研究院承办,旨在生动展示中国丰富的文化遗产。空处需要谓语动词,主语The exhibition和bring之间是动宾关系,应用被动语态,而文中描述的活动已经结束,即动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填was brought。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:活动还数字化还原了莫高窟第285窟。空处修饰谓语动词restored,需要副词,digital的副词形式应用digitally表示“以数字方式,数字化”符合句意。故填digitally。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意:这些工作使得观众们沉浸在敦煌石窟的历史和文化精髓中。此处为代词作bury的宾语,they和宾语the audience所指相同,应用反身代词。故填themselves。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:此外,来自甘肃演艺集团的演员们以传统的敦煌歌舞吸引了观众们,为他们提供了一场难忘的视听体验。experience意为“经历”为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,且这里表示 “一次、一场(经历)”,所以此处应用不定冠词,而空后unforgettable以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:它旨在促进中新两国之间的文化交流,同时通过展示敦煌石窟艺术的独特魅力促进民间交流。此处为固定短语“between…and…”表示“在……和……之间”符合句意,所以此处使用介词between。故填between。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:据组织者介绍,敦煌文化是世界文化多样性的重要组成部分。此处为名词作of的宾语,various的名词为variety意为“多样化”。故填variety。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:通过交流互鉴,文明变得更加丰富多彩。此处为形容词作表语,由并列表语more colorful可知,这里应用形容词比较级。故填richer。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们希望这次展览有助于加强两国人民之间的联系,促进双边关系健康稳定发展。此处为非谓语动词作宾语,根据contribute to意为“有助于”中的to是介词可知,其后应接动名词作宾语。故填strengthening。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“这次展览真的非常重要,它为新西兰人提供了与世界上最重要文化和宗教遗址之一接触的难得机会,并促进了民间交流。” 新西兰议会议员Jenny Salesa说道。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为This exhibition,表示事物,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“这次展览真的非常重要,它为新西兰人提供了与世界上最重要文化和宗教遗址之一接触的难得机会,并促进了民间交流。” 新西兰议会议员Jenny Salesa说道。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰opportunity,修饰opportunity应用动词不定式形式。故填to engage。

Dear Cathy,
As a High school student with a big problem in my English study, I’m writing to ask you for some advice.
Since entering high school, we have been required by our English teacher to recite English passages, some of which are not only long but also difficult. Don’t you feel it’s a waste of time? Do you agree that it’s a better way to simply read the passages aloud repeatedly than recite them word by word?
I do need your advice on whether I should go on with the reciting task, and I’ll appreciate it if you offer me more guidance on learning English well.
Yours,
Lihua

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was once a psychologist at a children’s institution. One day, an adolescent boy turned up in the waiting room. I showed him into my office and pointed to a chair.
“Please sit down,” I said.
The boy, who I later learned was named David, wore a black raincoat that was buttoned up to his neck. Looking pale, he stared at his feet while wringing his hands nervously. He lost his father as an infant, and then lived with his mother and grandfather. But the year before David turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother’s life was taken away in a car accident. Now he was 14 and in foster care.
His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy,” he wrote, “is understandably depressed. He refuses to talk to others. Can you reach him?”
I stared at the note, feeling a heavy weight in my chest. I knew well that some pains run too deep for simple words of comfort. Psychology doesn’t have a magic cure for all human sorrows.
The first two times we met, without a word, David sat hunched up in the chair and only looked at the wall behind me. As he was about to leave after the second visit, I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn’t shrink back, but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week, if you like,” I said. I hesitated a bit. Then I said, “I know it hurts — more than anyone can say.”
He came, and I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that, we played chess every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence and without any eye contact.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chessboard and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought.
One afternoon, David took off his raincoat and put it on the back of the chair. While setting up the chess pieces, his face seemed more alive.
Another afternoon, with David beside the chessboard, I thought about how little we know about therapy-about the mysterious process associated with healing. Suddenly, he looked up at me.
“It’s your turn,” he said his voice hoarse and rusty, as if he hadn’t used it in months.
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 totally surprised, and the chess piece in my hand stopped halfway.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: After that day, David changed a lot.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Paragraph 1:
I was totally surprised, and the chess piece in my hand stopped halfway. For a long moment, I just stared at David, unable to say a word. His eyes were still fixed on mine, dark and tired, but no longer empty — there was a tiny glimmer of something like hope in them. I slowly put the chess piece down, my voice softer than usual, “Thank you. It’s my turn.” David nodded slightly, his lips twitching into a faint, almost unnoticeable smile. The quiet office, once filled with only the click of chess pieces, now felt warm and bright, as if the sun had suddenly shone through the window.
Paragraph 2:
He began to open up to people around him. He no longer wore his black raincoat buttoned tightly to his neck, even on cloudy days; instead, he hung it neatly on the back of the chair as soon as he walked in. His pale face gradually gained a hint of color, and sometimes he would glance up at me when I placed a chess piece on the board. He even started to share small things — like how he made delicious cookies last weekend, or how he saw a cat near the institution. The once silent chess games were now filled with soft, short sentences, and the click of chess pieces sounded lighter than before.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者曾是儿童心理医生,接待了因双亲与祖父离世而极度沉默自闭的少年大卫。前两次会面他一言不发,之后两人每周默默下棋。直到某天大卫主动开口,他逐渐敞开心扉,不再封闭自己,脸上重现生机与笑容。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我完全惊呆了,手中的棋子也停滞在了空中。”可知,第一段可描写大卫主动开口和作者说话的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“他开始向周围的人敞开心扉。”可知,第二段可描写大卫逐渐敞开心扉,不再封闭自己,脸上重现生机与笑容。
2.续写线索:完全惊呆了——主动开口和作者说话——逐渐敞开心扉——不再封闭自己——脸上重现生机与笑容——感悟
