Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However ,the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.
Well, the carnival is all about the samba. It’s a style of music and dance which has its origins in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being conquered, so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals(和声).It’s the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, I couldn’t help moving my hips and shoulders.
Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come.
So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.
4. How did the author feel once she arrived at the carnival?
A. Disappointed.
B. Anxious.
C. Excited.
D. Annoyed.
5. What can be known about samba in Paragraph 2?
A. It has a strong mixed culture.
B. Its music is always fast but soft.
C. It is not to the taste of the author.
D. It has its origins in South America.
6. Why didn’t the author regret missing the main parade?
A. She met some amazing local people.
B. She gave her own parties in the street.
C. She celebrated the festival in a local way.
D. She didn’t have the tickets for the parade.
7. What is the purpose of the passage?

B. To encourage people to learn samba.
C. To share an unforgettable experience.
D. To tell a cruel history of Rio de Janeiro.
C
Stories have long been used to instill (逐渐灌输) moral and cultural values in young children, but there is little research exploring the effectiveness of such stories.
“We should not take it for granted that classic moral stories will automatically promote moral behavior,” says lead author Dr. Kang Lee of the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the University of Toronto. “As parents, we want to know how effective the stories actually are in promoting honesty,” adds study co-author Victoria Talwar of McGill University. “Do the messages go in one ear and out the other, or do children listen to them and take them to heart?”
To find out, Lee and Talwar conducted an experiment with 268 children aged 3 to 7. Each child played a game that required guessing the identity of a toy on the basis of the sound it made. In the middle of the game, the experimenter was out for a minute, telling the child not to glance at the toy left on the table. For most children, this temptation (诱惑) was too hard to resist. When the experimenter returned, she read the child a story, either The Rabbit and the Turtle, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Pinocchio, or George Washington and the Cherry Tree. Afterward, the experimenter asked the child to tell the truth about whether he or she glanced at the toy.
To the experimenter’s surprise, Pinocchio and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, which relate lying to negative consequences, were no more effective at promoting honest behavior than a fable unrelated to honesty, or in this case, The Rabbit and the Turtle. Only the made-up tale about young George Washington seemed to inspire the kids to admit glancing. Children who heard the tale in which the future first president was complimented because of admitting his mistake and rewarded with a candy were three times more likely to tell the truth than their fellows who heard other stories.
“Our study shows that to promote moral behavior such as honesty, stressing the positive outcomes of honesty rather than the negative consequences of dishonesty is the key,” they note. “This may apply to other morals as well.”
More research is necessary to determine whether moral stories influence kids’ behavior in the long term. Still, they have been quick to take advantage of the findings, Talwar reports a shift in her own parenting practices: “It really seems to work. I use this now with my child.”
8. What is the aim of the experiment mentioned in the text?
A. To find out which story is educational at school.
B. To make sure if the children can resist temptation.
C. To see the effectiveness of stories in promoting honesty.
D. To ensure the precision in guessing the identity of a toy.
9. What does the underlined word “complimented” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Criticized. B. Praised. C. Ignored. D. Respected.
10. What does Talwar mean in the last paragraph?
A. She won’t apply the findings to educating her child.
B. Her child shows a strong interest in moral stories.
C. Her parents have changed their way of education.
D. She realizes the positive influence of moral stories on children.
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward the experiment?
A. Unclear. B. Conflicting. C. Favourable. D. Objective.
D
If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable trait shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted? ” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your dropped wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, their analyses identified a single gene (基因), PLPP4, which was strongly associated with the trait of trusting others. They discovered that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the variation in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They suspect that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival mechanism. If our fight-or-flight system is less intense when we encounter new people, it makes sense that tending to trust others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: Understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the existing theories?
A. Their childhood habits. B. Their social experiences.
C. Their personal abilities. D. Their communication skills.
13. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The ways to develop survival ability. B. The mental cause of trust.
C. The connection between trust and a gene. D. The features of different genes.
14. What does the text say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It helps to develop the world faster.
C. It lessens the intense stress in work. D. It causes better survival mechanisms.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted
B. Experiences Can Make You Grow Dependable
C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science
D. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You are looking at a website and an advertisement jumps out, asking for donations to people in need of warm clothes. You pay for a few items at a drugstore and the clerk asks if you’d like to donate school supplies to less fortunate children. Opportunities to give money to those in need are everywhere. ____16____ Does it depend on your mood? Or does it depend on who’s watching?
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, a major factor that may determine whether we donate is where we stand on two moral qualities:empathy (共情) and a sense of justice. They often appear to pull us in two different directions. ____17____
For example, you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and he could have made better choices. ____18____ On the other hand, if you can understand the pain causing him to slip into the hopeless situation, you would tend to give.
For the study, researchers asked people to donate to charities. In the charities the donors believed the sufferers were responsible for their own situation (such as those who cannot keep a job due to alcohol use). ____19____ Furthermore, if the participants felt that they almost always make moral choices, they seemed to feel less empathic towards the sufferers and were less likely to donate money.
____20____ It’s empathy that connects us and encourages us to reach out. In fact, any type of suffering can help us relate to another person’s suffering,prompting (促进) us to reach out and help. Actually, when asked to recall their own past immoral behaviours, the participants seemed able to empathize more with those sufferers. As a result, they were more likely to donate.
A. Then you will probably not give any money.
B. This suggests that creativity can increase generosity.
C. But which situations drive you to reach for your wallet?
D. So trying to keep a balance between them can be difficult.
E. Empathy is considered a great power among several factors.
F. So next time, think about whether empathy is guiding your decision.
G. And some participants considered it immoral to donate to such persons.

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。
Missy was absolutely my best friend in the whole world. We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did everything together. We frequently visited each other’s homes, we knew each other’s families like they were our own. The interesting thing about our relationship, however the fact was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way.
Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Missy showed up at my house with a huge dent (凹痕) in her father’s car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time.
She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to have an explanation. So she stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father’s rage. Missy decided to tell him that while in a parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crashed leaves and bark still sticking there, I attempted to perish (打消) her thought. “I don’t think your father will buy it.” “ Don’t worry,” she insisted,“even if my dad doesn’t trust me, he’ll trust you.” My role was to confirm for her. Now keep in mind that I had strong objections to lying and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a party to this lie that Missy was creating. Nevertheless, after much request and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I decided that the least I could do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn’t actually lying; I just wasn’t telling the full truth.
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: An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Her father looked at me with great disbelief.

Last year I went to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, and it blew my mind. It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However ,the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.
Well, the carnival is all about the samba. It’s a style of music and dance which has its origins in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being conquered, so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals(和声).It’s the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, I couldn’t help moving my hips and shoulders.
Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come.
So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.

A. Disappointed.

5. What can be known about samba in Paragraph 2?
A. It has a strong mixed culture.

Stories have long been used to instill (逐渐灌输) moral and cultural values in young children, but there is little research exploring the effectiveness of such stories.
“We should not take it for granted that classic moral stories will automatically promote moral behavior,” says lead author Dr. Kang Lee of the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study at the University of Toronto. “As parents, we want to know how effective the stories actually are in promoting honesty,” adds study co-author Victoria Talwar of McGill University. “Do the messages go in one ear and out the other, or do children listen to them and take them to heart?”
To find out, Lee and Talwar conducted an experiment with 268 children aged 3 to 7. Each child played a game that required guessing the identity of a toy on the basis of the sound it made. In the middle of the game, the experimenter was out for a minute, telling the child not to glance at the toy left on the table. For most children, this temptation (诱惑) was too hard to resist. When the experimenter returned, she read the child a story, either The Rabbit and the Turtle, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Pinocchio, or George Washington and the Cherry Tree. Afterward, the experimenter asked the child to tell the truth about whether he or she glanced at the toy.
To the experimenter’s surprise, Pinocchio and The Boy Who Cried Wolf, which relate lying to negative consequences, were no more effective at promoting honest behavior than a fable unrelated to honesty, or in this case, The Rabbit and the Turtle. Only the made-up tale about young George Washington seemed to inspire the kids to admit glancing. Children who heard the tale in which the future first president was complimented because of admitting his mistake and rewarded with a candy were three times more likely to tell the truth than their fellows who heard other stories.
“Our study shows that to promote moral behavior such as honesty, stressing the positive outcomes of honesty rather than the negative consequences of dishonesty is the key,” they note. “This may apply to other morals as well.”
More research is necessary to determine whether moral stories influence kids’ behavior in the long term. Still, they have been quick to take advantage of the findings, Talwar reports a shift in her own parenting practices: “It really seems to work. I use this now with my child.”
8. What is the aim of the experiment mentioned in the text?
A. To find out which story is educational at school.
B. To make sure if the children can resist temptation.
C. To see the effectiveness of stories in promoting honesty.
D. To ensure the precision in guessing the identity of a toy.
9. What does the underlined word “complimented” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Criticized. B. Praised. C. Ignored. D. Respected.
10. What does Talwar mean in the last paragraph?
A. She won’t apply the findings to educating her child.
B. Her child shows a strong interest in moral stories.
C. Her parents have changed their way of education.
D. She realizes the positive influence of moral stories on children.
11. What’s the author’s attitude toward the experiment?
A. Unclear. B. Conflicting. C. Favourable. D. Objective.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项针对 3-7 岁儿童的实验,研究道德故事对培养诚实品质的效果,发现强调诚实的积极结果比强调说谎的负面后果更有效。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““As parents, we want to know how effective the stories actually are in promoting honesty,” adds study co-author Victoria Talwar of McGill University. (麦吉尔大学的研究合著者维多利亚·塔尔瓦补充道:“作为父母,我们想知道这些故事在促进诚实方面到底有多有效。”)”可知,文中提到的实验的目的是观察故事在促进诚实方面的效果。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Children who heard the tale in which the future first president was complimented because of admitting his mistake and rewarded with a candy were three times more likely to tell the truth than their fellows who heard other stories. (听到这个故事的孩子们,未来的第一任总统因为承认错误而被complimented,并得到糖果奖励,他们说真话的可能性是听到其他故事的孩子的三倍)”可知,此处指因为承认错误而受到表扬,故complimented意为“表扬”,与praised意义相近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“More research is necessary to determine whether moral stories influence kids’ behavior in the long term. Still, they have been quick to take advantage of the findings, Talwar reports a shift in her own parenting practices: “It really seems to work. I use this now with my child.”(还需要更多的研究来确定道德故事是否会影响孩子的长期行为。尽管如此,他们还是迅速利用了这些发现,塔尔瓦报告说,她自己的育儿方式发生了转变:“这似乎真的很有效。我现在对我的孩子也这样做。”)”可知,塔尔瓦意识到了道德故事对孩子的积极影响。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Stories have long been used to instill (逐渐灌输) moral and cultural values in young children, but there is little research exploring the effectiveness of such stories.(长期以来,故事一直被用来向幼儿逐步灌输道德与文化价值观,但针对这类故事实际效果的研究却寥寥无几)”以及全文内容可知,作者客观地描述了实验的过程和结果,并没有表达出明显的个人情感倾向,因此作者对实验的态度是客观的。故选D项。

If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable trait shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted? ” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your dropped wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33, 882 Danish blood donors, their analyses identified a single gene (基因), PLPP4, which was strongly associated with the trait of trusting others. They discovered that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the variation in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They suspect that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival mechanism. If our fight-or-flight system is less intense when we encounter new people, it makes sense that tending to trust others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: Understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
12. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the existing theories?
A. Their childhood habits. B. Their social experiences.
C. Their personal abilities. D. Their communication skills.
13. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The ways to develop survival ability. B. The mental cause of trust.
C. The connection between trust and a gene. D. The features of different genes.
14. What does the text say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It helps to develop the world faster.
C. It lessens the intense stress in work. D. It causes better survival mechanisms.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Theories That Explain Why You Are Trusted
B. Experiences Can Make You Grow Dependable
C. A Link Between Biology and Social Science
D. A Gene Influences How Trusting You Are
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现,我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征,它可能根植于我们的DNA。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted? ” would depend on whether you'd been robbed the day before or if you'd had your dropped wallet returned.(另一种观点认为,这是受到一个人对社会环境的持续评估的影响。我们可以很容易地想象,对于“你认为大多数人都是可以信任的吗?”这取决于你前一天是否被抢劫过,或者你丢失的钱包是否被找回来了)”可知,人们的社会经历会影响他们对他人的信任程度。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA.(最近的一项研究发现,我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA)”和第四段“their analyses identified a single gene (基因) , PLPP4, which was strongly associated with the trait of trusting others.(他们的分析发现了一个单一基因,PLPP4,它与信任他人的特征密切相关)”可推断,近来的一个研究的重点是信任与基因的关系。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical people.(这一点很重要,因为事实证明,与多疑的人相比,信任的人实际上可能活得更长、更健康)”及第五段“it makes sense that tending to trust others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.(倾向于信任他人可能对健康有巨大的好处就说得通了。事实上,如果信任他人能起到对抗压力的作用,它可能会降低患心血管疾病的风险)” 可知,信任别人会使人健康、降低心血管疾病的风险。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological trait (特征) — it could be rooted in our DNA.(最近的一项研究发现,我们信任陌生人的能力可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能根植于我们的DNA)”可知,本文主要介绍研究发现,我们信任陌生人可能不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征,它可能根植于我们的DNA。D项“基因影响你的信任程度”适合作本文标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You are looking at a website and an advertisement jumps out, asking for donations to people in need of warm clothes. You pay for a few items at a drugstore and the clerk asks if you’d like to donate school supplies to less fortunate children. Opportunities to give money to those in need are everywhere. ____16____ Does it depend on your mood? Or does it depend on who’s watching?
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, a major factor that may determine whether we donate is where we stand on two moral qualities:empathy (共情) and a sense of justice. They often appear to pull us in two different directions. ____17____
For example, you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and he could have made better choices. ____18____ On the other hand, if you can understand the pain causing him to slip into the hopeless situation, you would tend to give.
For the study, researchers asked people to donate to charities. In the charities the donors believed the sufferers were responsible for their own situation (such as those who cannot keep a job due to alcohol use). ____19____ Furthermore, if the participants felt that they almost always make moral choices, they seemed to feel less empathic towards the sufferers and were less likely to donate money.
____20____ It’s empathy that connects us and encourages us to reach out. In fact, any type of suffering can help us relate to another person’s suffering,prompting (促进) us to reach out and help. Actually, when asked to recall their own past immoral behaviours, the participants seemed able to empathize more with those sufferers. As a result, they were more likely to donate.
A. Then you will probably not give any money.
B. This suggests that creativity can increase generosity.
C. But which situations drive you to reach for your wallet?
D. So trying to keep a balance between them can be difficult.
E. Empathy is considered a great power among several factors.
F. So next time, think about whether empathy is guiding your decision.
G. And some participants considered it immoral to donate to such persons.

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。
Missy was absolutely my best friend in the whole world. We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did everything together. We frequently visited each other’s homes, we knew each other’s families like they were our own. The interesting thing about our relationship, however the fact was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way.
Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Missy showed up at my house with a huge dent (凹痕) in her father’s car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time.
She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to have an explanation. So she stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father’s rage. Missy decided to tell him that while in a parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crashed leaves and bark still sticking there, I attempted to perish (打消) her thought. “I don’t think your father will buy it.” “ Don’t worry,” she insisted,“even if my dad doesn’t trust me, he’ll trust you.” My role was to confirm for her. Now keep in mind that I had strong objections to lying and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a party to this lie that Missy was creating. Nevertheless, after much request and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I decided that the least I could do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn’t actually lying; I just wasn’t telling the full truth.
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: An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Her father looked at me with great disbelief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began. Under a barrage of inquiries, Missy recapped her concocted story unhurriedly, while I stood there in silent agreement. After Missy finishing her seemingly perfect statement, her father raised his eyebrows and turned to me, waiting for my proof. However, once again, I chose silence under his scrutinizing eyes with my heart pounding violently. Suddenly, he walked over to the dented area for a closer inspection. It was at that point that pieces of bark from the tree that Missy had hit fell out.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. An enormous sense of guilt rose up in me as his cold eyes seemed to proclaim me as the “guilty” bystander. I was so flustered that I wanted to explain but was interrupted by his harsh words, “You guys really failed me! Especially...” Instead of continuing his reproach, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that the precious but fragile trust had been smashed by my silence. In fact, the process of how we apologized to make amends was just a blur, but the bitter lesson of being a silent accomplice was branded on my memory.
【解析】
【导语】本文以友谊与道德冲突为线索展开,讲述了Missy和叙述者是青梅竹马的好朋友,随着年龄的增长,价值观变得不同,叙述者更沉稳,她更喜欢按照自己的方式做事,因此她的家人似乎更信任叙述者而不是她。Missy因损坏了她父亲的汽车而陷入困境,她要求叙述者撒谎并帮她掩护,尽管叙述者强烈反对和父母撒谎,但最终答应做一个沉默的掩护者,这凸显了她们友谊不断发展的动态和道德困境。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“大约一个小时后,我们把车交给了Missy的父亲,询问开始了。”可知,第一段可描写Missy用她编造的故事向她父亲解释,她父亲询问我,我却一直保持沉默。
②由第二段首句内容“她父亲难以置信地看着我。”可知,第二段可描写我内心的挣扎,既不想出卖Missy,又不想向她父亲说谎,我陷入了友谊和道德的困境。
2.续写线索:Missy和我是最好的朋友——价值观变得不太相同——Missy因损坏父亲汽车求我掩护——我做个沉默的掩护者——她父亲责备我沉默——我陷入做帮凶的痛苦
