High School Programmes in Australia
Beautiful weather, friendly people and a widely varied landscape are just a few of the reasons you should choose to spend time in Australia as a high school student. Here are some programmes you can choose from.
High School Exchange
Individuals studying for a semester or full year in Australia will usually live with a host family. This is a great opportunity for students to see what daily family life is like in Australia. Students learning English will see their language skills improve by communicating with their new friends and host family, while those familiar with the language already can use this opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day life in Australia.
Youth Travel Tours
Travel tours for teens are a wonderful way for high school students to spend a short, concentrated amount of time abroad. Tours are usually for different themes such as cooking, adventure travel, or volunteerism. Students will have a fun, unique experience while incorporating educational components like environmental or cultural studies — and all without missing your normal coursework back home.
Summer Study Programme
For students who only have a few months of the summer break available, an advanced summer programme is perfect. Just keep in mind, the summer of the northern hemisphere (半球) is actually the winter of Australia. Oftentimes these summer programmes can be partnered with universities that will allow students to receive college credits.
1. What can High School Exchange offer?
A. A good command of what we learn at school.
B. A better understanding of Australian culture.
C. A wonderful way to communicate with famous teachers.
D. A precious chance to make friends from different countries.
2. Who may want to choose Youth Travel Tours?

C. Those who like doing adventure sports. D. Those who want to take a part-time job.
3. Which programme should you choose if you want to earn college credits?
A. Summer Study Programme. B. Youth Travel Tours.
C. High School Exchange. D. All of the programmes.

My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.
Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.
Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”
My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.
Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.
4. The Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table because ________.
A. she had no teeth B. she had nothing to do
C. she was preparing to clear the table D. she really wanted to enjoy the food
5. What did the author learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money?
A. Her grandmother didn’t have much money.
B. Her grandmother preferred boys to girls.
C. It was a shame to accept others’ money.
D. It was important for her to work hard.
6. What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl” ?
A. She was really a good girl.
B. She needed to continually improve herself.
C. She should be proud of her manners and behaviors.
D. She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.
7. What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage?
A. She loved telling stories.
B. She had never worked in her life.
C. She set a great example for the author.
D. She was a mean woman with old-fashioned values.
C
Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it’s logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody didn’t say “thanks,” we often think, they must not have been very grateful. And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual.
But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Thankfulness suggests that no, we do not.
The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha’palaa, Murrinhpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange.
The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist! In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connection.
Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you.” “When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”
8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Figure out. D. Mix up.
9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study?
A. By saying thanks directly.
B. By making social agreements.
C. By using body language.
D. By helping and cooperating.
10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives?
A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance.
C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust.
11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph?
A. Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness.
B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words.
C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends.
D. The negative effects of thanking should be avoided.
D
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980. David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
12. What plays an important role in producing PROTO?
A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music.
C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument.
13. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa?
A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B. To show the popularity of smart robots.
C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards music co- created by AI and humans?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The increasing diversity of AI music. B. The development of musical composition.
C. The history of computer-generated music. D. The combination of AI and musical composition.

Sam’s birthday was coming, but his heart was filled with disappointment. Turning eleven was a big deal, and he had always celebrated it with a big party surrounded by his friends. However, this year was different. He had so much homework and his parents’ business was not good, so Sam thought it not a good idea to have a birthday party.
One day after class, his best friend, Jim, asked, “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?”
“No,” Sam answered sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through some difficulties.”
He smiled weakly, trying to hide his disappointment, but Jim saw through his pretence (假装) easily. But Jim did not say anything. After the break, Sam saw Jim talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretly. Curious, Sam went over to them, but as soon as Jim saw him, he quickly walked away. Sam was surprised by Jim’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did he say?” Sam asked.
However, Sarah just said no and walked away with Jim, leaving Sam standing there, feeling left out and worried.
What is happening? Sam wondered worriedly. Are they keeping something from me?
As Sam’s birthday came nearer, Sam often found Jim chatting softly with other classmates. Whenever Sam went over to them, they would just walk away or tell him that they were talking about a secret which Sam was not allowed to know. Jim had never kept secrets from me before, Sam thought. His heart fell. Why were his friends keeping away from him? And what were they hiding?
In the afternoon of Sam’s birthday, Sam went home after the school was over, alone. At about seven o’clock, he received a telephone call from Jim, who asked him to go to his home immediately without telling him the reason.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.
Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.
Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”
My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.
Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.
4. The Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table because ________.
A. she had no teeth B. she had nothing to do

A. She was really a good girl.
B. She needed to continually improve herself.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过回忆表达了对祖母深深的思念,祖母为作者树立了很好的榜样,她的一些做法使自己明白了很多的道理。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜)it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave.”可知,祖母品尝着食物,很珍惜食物。 她常常是第一个坐在餐桌旁,最后一个吃完离开的。所以作者的祖母花了那么多时间在餐桌旁吃饭,是因为她真的很想享受美食。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. It was her saying, “I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”可知,随着年龄的增长,作者意识到祖母教给自己的不只是关于钱,而是关于传统、努力工作和对家庭的责任。祖母说:“我爱你;我是你的家人,我希望你像你们的家人一样努力工作。所以作者从她祖母给她压岁钱的方式中学到了自己要努力工作,这是很重要的。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.”可知,在作者的成长过程中,这两个字,不断提醒作者,作者还很年轻,还有很长的路要走。由此判断出当作者听到她的祖母叫她“好女孩”时,作者认为她需要不断提高自己。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies (遗产) that I will create.”可知,现在作者的祖母去世了,但作者每天都能见到她。作者在她周围的女人和镜子里看到了她。她和作者生活在一起,活在作则的心里,活在作者要创造的美好明天里。由此判断出,祖母的言行给作者留下了深刻的印象,她为作者树立了很好的榜样。故选C项。
C
Among world languages, English places perhaps the highest value on the expressions of thanks, especially in formal and business settings. So it’s logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness. If somebody didn’t say “thanks,” we often think, they must not have been very grateful. And yet, in English, “thank you” gets used so frequently that it can easily start to feel habitual.
But do we say it as much as we think in our casual interactions with family and friends? A new research paper titled Universals and Cultural Diversity in the Expression of Thankfulness suggests that no, we do not.
The research team behind the paper looked for expressions of thankfulness in daily informal interactions across eight languages: English, Italian, Polish, Russian, Lao, Cha’palaa, Murrinhpatha, and Siwu. The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm. In fact, the practice of giving thanks seems to have little impact on the practice of mutual exchange.
The practice of giving thanks also varies culturally In India, for example, people — especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends — tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist! In contrast, in England, expressing thankfulness through words is seen as a positive strengthening of relationships, promoting goodwill and connection.
Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for “thank you.” “When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.”
8. What does the underlined word “conflate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Compare. B. Replace. C. Figure out. D. Mix up.
9. How do people express thankfulness universally according to the study?
A. By saying thanks directly.
B. By making social agreements.
C. By using body language.
D. By helping and cooperating.
10. How do Indians view the practice of giving thanks to relatives?
A. It weakens their bond. B. It reduces their social distance.
C. It enhances their connection. D. It promotes their mutual trust.
11. What does Nick Enfield imply in the last paragraph?
A. Many cultures do not emphasize thankfulness.
B. Thankfulness might not be expressed in words.
C. Small communities prefer to thank close friends.
D. The negative effects of thanking should be avoided.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现不同文化表达感激的方式有差异,很多语言甚至无“谢谢”一词,且普遍表达靠互助合作 。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段第二句“So it’s logical that English speakers tend to conflate the expression of thankfulness with the feeling of thankfulness.(所以,说英语的人倾向于把表达感激之情和感激之情本身conflate,这是合乎逻辑的)”以及下一句“If somebody didn’t say ‘thanks,’ we often think, they must not have been very grateful.(如果有人没有说‘谢谢’,我们常常会认为,他们一定不是很感激)”可知,说英语的人常把说“谢谢”这种表达感激的方式和内心真正的感激之情弄混了。conflate意思是“混淆,混为一谈”,与Mix up(混淆)意思相符。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The findings suggest the universal way in which thankfulness is expressed is not through giving thanks, but rather through participation in a social agreement in which mutual (相互的) assistance and working together are the norm.(研究结果表明,表达感激之情的普遍方式不是通过说谢谢,而是通过参与一种社会约定,在这种约定中,相互帮助和合作是常态)”可知,普遍表达感激的方式是通过相互帮助和合作。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“In India, for example, people-especially when they are your elders, relatives, or close friends-tend to feel that by thanking them, you’re weakening your closeness with them and creating formality and distance that shouldn’t exist!(例如,在印度,人们 —— 尤其是当他们是你的长辈、亲戚或亲密朋友时 —— 往往会觉得,感谢他们会削弱你与他们的亲密关系,并制造出本不该存在的正式感和距离感!)”可知,印度人认为向亲戚表达感谢会削弱他们之间的联系。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nick Enfield, lead researcher of the study, suggests that most of the 6,000 to 7,000 world languages don’t have a word for ‘thank you.’ ‘When we consider the negative effects of thanking close relations alongside the fact that many languages are spoken in very small communities where speakers are likely to know each other, that claim starts to feel quite reasonable.’(这项研究的首席研究员尼克・恩菲尔德表示,世界上6000到7000种语言中,大多数都没有‘谢谢’这个词。‘当我们考虑到感谢亲密关系的负面影响,以及许多语言是在非常小的社区中使用的,在这些社区中,说话的人很可能彼此认识这一事实时,这种说法就开始显得相当合理了。’)”可知,尼克・恩菲尔德暗示,很多语言中没有“谢谢”这个词,结合前文提到不同文化中表达感谢的方式不同,可推断出感激之情可能不是通过语言来表达的。故选B。
D
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980. David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
12. What plays an important role in producing PROTO?
A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music.
C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument.
13. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa?
A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B. To show the popularity of smart robots.
C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards music co- created by AI and humans?
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The increasing diversity of AI music. B. The development of musical composition.
C. The history of computer-generated music. D. The combination of AI and musical composition.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI).(该过程需要输入人工或人工智能(AI)创作的音乐数据)”可知,现有音乐的输入在产生原型中起着重要的作用。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?( Miquela Sousa是一个电脑生成的艺术家,在Instagram上有超过一百万的粉丝。“我是一名模特兼歌手。我是一个机器人,”Miquela说。这就提出了一个问题:我们能用电脑重现创造力吗?)”可推知,作者提到Miquela Sousa的例子是为了促进对AI音乐人的深度思考。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.(虽然这些问题不容易回答,但我相信音乐的下一个前沿是介于两者之间。我可以看到人类创造力与人工智能相结合的新曙光。随着音乐和人工智能的联系越来越紧密,音乐的下一篇章肯定会变得非常精彩)”可推知,作者对AI和人类共同创作的音乐很有信心。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.(虽然大多数音乐家在创作音乐时都是与其他艺术家合作,但现居住在柏林的美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon采取了不同的方式,使用名为Spawn的机器学习软件。该软件使用了模仿人类大脑结构的人工神经网络。这些网络在训练过程中从数据集中学习模式。根据这些数据,网络创造了新的材料,包括Herndon自己的声音)”结合文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。可知,这篇文章主要讲了人工智能和音乐创作的结合。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者在南英格兰度假时,一个人探索当地,在山顶看到一群鸟绕着鸟巢飞来飞去,作者想给鸟宝宝拍一张照,结果被鸟驱赶,吓得把相机都扔了。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意:我和我的家人在英格兰南部的一个海滩上愉快地度假。分析句子可知,设空处在句中修饰谓语动词was spending,应用副词,happy的副词形式为happily。故填happily。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我对探索当地非常感兴趣,所以一天早上我起得很早,沿着安静的道路出发了。be interested in为固定搭配,表示“对……感兴趣的”。故填interested。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我对探索当地非常感兴趣,所以一天早上我起得很早,沿着安静的道路出发了。设空处在句中作谓语,应填动词;主语为I,与动词wake之间为主动关系;结合时间状语one morning及上下文动词时态可知,此处是在描述过去的事,应用一般过去时。故填woke。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我急于发现当地,忘记告诉我的父母我要去哪里。根据句意可知,此处表示“忘记要告诉父母”;forget to do sth表示“忘记要做某事”,而forget doing sth表示“忘记做过某事”。故填to tell。
【40题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:这是一个炎热、阳光明媚的早晨,我很快就感到口渴了,但我决定挑战自己,步行到最高点。设空处在句中作宾语,结合句意可知,此处表示“挑战我自己”,应用反身代词myself。故填myself。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在山顶上,我看到许多鸟在它们的巢周围飞来飞去。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语动词saw,设空处只能填非谓语动词形式;其逻辑主语为birds,与动词fly之间为主动关系,应用现在分词flying,整个分词短语作宾语补足语。故填flying。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:如果我给鸟宝宝拍照,我会受到攻击吗?take a picture短语,表示“拍照”。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我心里忐忑不安,举起相机对准鸟儿。butterflies in my stomach为固定短语,表示“七上八下、忐忑不安”,此处应用名词复数。故填butterflies。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:我太惊讶了,我的相机掉了!分析句子可知,设空处在句中引导一个从句,结合前面的so surprised可知,此处是一个so…that…引导的结果状语从句,表示“如此……以致……”。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:不过,我没有时间去担心它。worry about为固定短语,表示“担忧、担心”。故填about。

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。
Sam’s birthday was coming, but his heart was filled with disappointment. Turning eleven was a big deal, and he had always celebrated it with a big party surrounded by his friends. However, this year was different. He had so much homework and his parents’ business was not good, so Sam thought it not a good idea to have a birthday party.
One day after class, his best friend, Jim, asked, “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?”
“No,” Sam answered sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through some difficulties.”
He smiled weakly, trying to hide his disappointment, but Jim saw through his pretence (假装) easily. But Jim did not say anything. After the break, Sam saw Jim talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretly. Curious, Sam went over to them, but as soon as Jim saw him, he quickly walked away. Sam was surprised by Jim’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did he say?” Sam asked.
However, Sarah just said no and walked away with Jim, leaving Sam standing there, feeling left out and worried.
What is happening? Sam wondered worriedly. Are they keeping something from me?
As Sam’s birthday came nearer, Sam often found Jim chatting softly with other classmates. Whenever Sam went over to them, they would just walk away or tell him that they were talking about a secret which Sam was not allowed to know. Jim had never kept secrets from me before, Sam thought. His heart fell. Why were his friends keeping away from him? And what were they hiding?
In the afternoon of Sam’s birthday, Sam went home after the school was over, alone. At about seven o’clock, he received a telephone call from Jim, who asked him to go to his home immediately without telling him the reason.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Standing outside Jim’s home for a short while, he knocked at the door lightly.

Seeing the smile on the faces of all his classmates, Sam’s eyes were full of tears.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Standing outside Jim’s home for a short while, he knocked at the door lightly. The door swung open, and Sam stepped inside, only to find the room pitch dark. Click! The lights suddenly flashed on, and a chorus of “Surprise! Happy Birthday!” exploded around him. Jim, Sarah, and all his classmates were gathered there, grinning from ear to ear. It was Jim who first stepped forward, explaining that they had been secretly planning this for weeks, pooling their pocket money to buy the cake and decorations. So surprised was Sam that he stood frozen, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing the smile on the faces of all his classmates, Sam’s eyes were full of tears. “You guys ... you did all this for me?” he choked out, his voice trembling with emotion. Jim patted his shoulder, saying, “We knew you were worried about money and didn’t want to burden your parents. But nothing should stop you from having an unforgettable birthday.” At that moment, Sam’s parents emerged from the kitchen, holding his favorite homemade dishes. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Sam embraced each of his friends tightly. He realized that true friendship wasn’t about grand parties, but about having people who truly cared and stood by you when times were tough.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物情感变化为线索,讲述了即将十一岁的Sam因家庭经济困难和学业压力,决定取消往年惯例的生日派对,内心充满失落。好友Jim察觉后,与同学们暗中策划,故意在Sam面前保持神秘甚至“疏远”,制造悬念。生日当天,Jim通过电话将Sam引到家中,准备给他一个巨大的惊喜,展现了真挚友谊的温暖。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“他在Jim家门口站了一会儿,轻轻敲了敲门”可知,第一段可描写Sam进门后的场景:屋内灯光突然熄灭又亮起,同学们齐声喊出“生日快乐”,揭示之前所有的“秘密交谈”和“刻意回避”都是为了筹备这个惊喜派对。
②由第二段首句内容“看到所有同学脸上的笑容,Sam眼中充满了泪水”可知,第二段可描写Sam的情感爆发与感言,解释同学们如何得知他的困境并自发凑钱筹备派对,父母也在场支持。最后升华主题:真正的友谊不在于华丽的排场,而在于困境中的陪伴与用心。
2. 续写线索:敲门——进门——灯灭——惊喜出现——恍然大悟——感动落泪——拥抱感谢——感悟友谊真谛
