Ⅲ.读后续写 　　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。 　　Sometimes I’m all sunshine and rainbows.But other times， like last week when I had to watch my little sister and brother and clean the hamster （仓鼠） cage， I’m not always in the greatest mood. 　　“OK， you two，” I said， after spending forever helping Tex and Indi build a house out of our chairs， “it’s time to get our hamster-cage chore （杂务活） out of the way.”“Not yet！”said Indi.“How about you clean up the cage， and we keep working on the house？” said Tex. 　　When it comes to doing chores， I’m not always in the greatest mood.“Mr Nibbles is part of our family，” I said.“So don’t you think we should all make sure he has a nice， clean house？” 　　Luckily， the twins agreed to help.We headed to the room where our hamster， Mr Nibbles， was bright-eyed and ready to come out and say hello.However， just as we were about to get started， Indi suddenly remembered that we needed to create a birthday card for Lily’s upcoming party. 　　I expressed my surprise upon hearing about Lily’s party， thinking it was today.Indi corrected me， stating that the party was actually scheduled for Saturday.I reassured （安慰） everyone that we could work on the card later， as our immediate task was to find a safe place for the hamster. 　　However， Tex stopped， holding Mr Nibbles close to his ear， claiming the hamster had a secret to share.Tex listened attentively and then said that Mr Nibbles felt sad upon hearing about Lily’s party.When Indi asked why， Tex explained that the hamster wished it could have its own birthday party but didn’t know the exact day it was born.The complaining part of me just wanted to hurry up and get the cage-cleaning chore over with， but Tex and Indi looked so hopeful that I said， “How about we just go ahead and celebrate his birthday today？”“Really？Hamster party！”Indi and Tex cheered loudly. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 　　We could tell that Mr Nibbles liked the idea.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 　　We came up with the idea of making a special cake specifically for Mr Nibbles.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　 　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Section Ⅳ　Writing about an experience Ⅰ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Scott Kelly从一个成天做白日梦的差等生，到下定决心成为宇航员，努力学习科学并学好的故事。该故事告诉我们，只要愿意付出，就会成功。 1.B　根据上文absent-minded可知，空处需用形容词 uninterested。他心不在焉，对科学和其他所有科目都不感兴趣。 2.C　根据下文Therefore， he earned terrible grades可知，因为上课不集中注意力听老师讲课，所以成绩糟糕。 3.A　根据语境可知，因为他成绩差，所以差一点没有毕业。 4.D　根据上文描述可知，因为成绩差，他甚至认为永远无法实现自己的梦想。 5.B　根据下文he was determined to be an astronaut可知，他决心要成为宇航员。由此可知，一切都发生了改变。 6.A　根据语境可知，因为受到电影启发，他才会决心成为宇航员。 7.B　此处表示因为想要成为一名宇航员，意味着他要在科学课上表现出色。 8.C　因为想要成为宇航员，所以此处表示他决心学好科学；make up one’s mind to do sth“下定决心做某事”。 9.D　根据上文After so many years daydreaming可知，因为这么多年都在做白日梦，所以实现梦想不易。 10.A　根据语境可知，此处指学习技巧练习得越多，他的成绩就变得越好。 11.D　此处指他开始和自己比赛，看自己能做得多好。 12.C　因为总是做白日梦，所以他以前是一个白日梦者。 13.A　根据常识可知，科学成绩达到A是成为宇航员必不可少的。 14.C　根据下文Everyone can learn this stuff可知，每个人都可以学习科学，所以不要再强调科学太难了。 15.B　只要大家愿意学习科学，每个人都可以学好科学。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己学英语的经历告诉大家：即使希望很渺茫，我们也要为了自己的目标努力奋斗。 16.to realize　17.efforts　18.a　19.spoken/speaking 20.changed　21.interesting　22.to　23.it　24.fluently 25.confidence　 Ⅲ. 　　We could tell that Mr Nibbles liked the idea.And having our first-ever hamster party to look forward to made our cage-cleaning chore zip by in a flash.We started by making a regular-size birthday card for Indi’s friend Lily and a small card for Mr Nibbles.Tex expressed concern about not having a cake for the birthday party.However， Tex quickly realized that hamsters might not be allowed to eat regular birthday cake.I acknowledged Tex’s point， considering the potential issue of providing an appropriate treat for Mr Nibbles’ birthday celebration. 　　We came up with the idea of making a special cake specifically for Mr Nibbles.After researching a list of safe foods for hamsters， we created an adorable little cake.With everything prepared， we were finally ready to celebrate.Mr Nibbles’ excitement was evident when we presented him with his birthday cake.He shook his body with delight as we sang “Happy Birthday to You”.We all thoroughly enjoyed the celebration.So， when life gives you lemons， make lemonade.This means finding ways to turn unpleasant tasks into enjoyable ones by adding a touch of positivity and creativity. 2 / 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
