二、阅读理解:本大题共15小题,共37.5分。
A
There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time. And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a kid will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own. Charades (猜字谜游戏) is a fun game that will challenge kids to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing — take some old magazines, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape. Or let them use leaves, branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent. Ask a nearby farm if you can bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work — you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
1. What are kids supposed to do when playing the game charades?
A. Prepare some cakes for each other.
B. Be quick to follow others’ actions.
C. Sing a song for each other in turn.
D. Connect actions with certain words.
2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It costs a lot to visit a park for a family.
B. You may share your own experience with workers.
C. You should ask for permission from the farm owner.
D. All the people will be excited to share what they have with you.
3. Whom is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Tourists. D. Teenagers.
B
With her fingers and wrists wrapped in medicated tape, Zhang Guimei, founder and principal of the first free high school for girls in China, was presented with the July 1 Medal, the Communist Party of China’s highest honor, in 2021.
Zhang met her husband in Dali and worked as a teacher in a local school. Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this place with which she was too familiar. She volunteered to teach in a middle school in Huaping, a poverty-stricken county located in the mountains.
Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority only worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered that many female students would just disappear after studying for a while and some were even pulled out of class just before the college entrance examination.
Zhang came up with an idea which, to many, seemed crazy: to found a free high school for girls. In 2008, with the help of the local government and personal donations, she founded the Huaping All-girls High School. With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, Zhang often works overtime despite suffering from several kinds of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains, talking to the parents about the importance of education for girls.
The efforts paid off. Many female students have graduated from this school and gone to college. “To educate a girl is to change the destiny of three generations. A cultured, responsible mother won’t let her daughter drop out of school,” Zhang said.
4. What probably made Zhang Guimei decide to leave the local school in Dali?
A. Her husband’s death. B. Her concern for girls.
C. Her love for teaching. D. Her eagerness for adventure.
5. What inspired Zhang to found a high school for girls?
A. Difficult examinations.
B. Gender inequality.
C. Lack of qualified teachers.
D. Encouragement from students’ parents.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Zhang Guimei?
A. Pessimistic. B. Generous. C. Determined. D. Modest.
7. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. A free high school for girls was successfully set up.
B. A woman with illnesses faces ups and downs in life.
C. The gender gap in education in rural areas is bridged.
D. An educator’s dedication to girls’ education finally paid off.
C
Any C.E.O. book ought to do two things. First, it should be a tale of how the author did it. In Bee Fearless, the 10-year-old C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer's book, the origin story of Ulmer's company begins wit bee stings (蜇), after which her parents encourage her to learn about the insects rather than fear them. She does some research and finds out that bees are in danger, which raised her concern.
So the 4-year-old sets up a lemonade stand (柠檬汽水摊) outside her house in Austin, Tex.as. She sweetens her lemonade with honey, since bees make it and it's healthy. She sells it with an information card about bees. Her lemonade is awful at first, but a series of experiments produces something better. Best of all she donates money to bee-related organizations.
People around Austin notice it. The owner of a pizza shop offers to sell the drinks if she bottles it. Then she is invited to the TV series “Shark Tank" and later goes to Hollywood. She leaves Hollywood with $60,000 and expands her lemonade business.
So we have our good story. The second task is harder——for anyone, let alone a teenager selling her story to other kids: How do you make people believe that they too could accomplish something like this?
In Ulmer's book, she delivers the key to keeping in contact with customers like writing thank-you notes. She also writes about connecting with the strangers over a brief trade. Many grown-ups never learn the art of selling. Near the book's end, Ulmer describes telling a group of girls in South Africa to "imagine what it would feel like”" to buy things they want without having to ask others for help.
8. What first inspired Ulmer to start her business?
A. Her parents' blame. B. Her concern about bees.
C. Her hatred for businesses. D. Her desire to help other girls.
9. What does the underlined word“this" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Writing a book of bee protection. B. Selling bees successfully.
C. Succeeding in achieving one's goal. D. Saving bees in tieir own ways.
10. From Ulmer's story, we can infer that
A. after bee stings, she became afraid of bees
B. her attempt on lemonade was a total failure
C. her book only teaches girls how to help themselves
D. she develops a good relationship with customers
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book. B. To explain how to start a business.
C. To advertise a drink. D. To recommend a famous company.
D
In November 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT. Within two months of the program’s launch, 51 percent of K-12 teachers reported using ChatGPT. Forty percent said they used it at least once a week; 53 percent anticipated increased use this year.
Cherie Shields, a high school English teacher in Sandy, is one of those teachers. Recently Shields asked ChatGPT to generate ten different project options for her sci-fi unit. Instead of a traditional essay assignment, the program suggested imaginative projects such as creating and explaining a poster of an alien (外星人).
ChatGPT can also rewrite materials at different reading levels. Shields explains that she sent tenth-grade assignments to ChatGPT, asking the chatbot to restructure the material at a sixth-grade level. Her students were then able to follow along and participate in class with their differentiated material. “It’s really easy now to make different types of assignments,” says Shields.
Similarly, Kim Lepre, a seventh-grade English teacher in California, explains that when used correctly, ChatGPT can simplify and improve educators’ everyday lives. Lepre uses the program to create tests and email parents, saving more time to interact with students. “I can just focus on teaching the kids now,” says Lepre.
For all this, many educators fear how it will affect their classroom. As the ChatGPT website explains, ChatGPT occasionally generates misinformation and untimely and biased (片面的) responses. Even creators acknowledge that the program is not a credible source of factual information and should not be treated as an academic source.
The biggest concern is cheating. More than one-fourth of teachers have caught students using the chatbot to cheat, the Study. com survey found. A flood of ChatGPT-generated work has left many educators spending more time checking for AI plagiarism (抄袭) and updating lesson plans to be “AI-proof”.
“As educators, we haven’t figured out the best way to use AI yet,” says Lepre. “But it’s coming. I think we should teach students how to use this tool. It’s kind of like handing a kid a calculator — that’s one thing, but quite another to show them how to use it. That’s even more powerful.”
12. What is Shields’s attitude toward ChatGPT?
A. Favorable. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
13. How does ChatGPT benefit Lepre?
A. It helps create innovative project ideas.
B. It adapts materials for different students.
C. It reduces her pressure on grading papers.
D. It frees her up to engage with students.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. ChatGPT is misused.
B. ChatGPT can be unreliable.
C. ChatGPT is biased against educators.
D. ChatGPT makes plagiarism more serious.
15. Why is a calculator mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To stress the proper use of AI.
B. To show AI is easy to access.
C. To warn of the overuse of AI.
D. To suggest AI will replace teachers.

A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.

【导语】本文讲述张桂梅的人生经历,张在目睹乡村地区教育中的性别不平等现象后创办华坪女子高级中学,投身山区女孩教育事业,最终收获成果的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unfortunately, her husband died of cancer not long after their marriage. Sadly, Zhang decided to leave this place with which she was too familiar.(不幸的是,婚后不久她的丈夫就因癌症去世。悲痛之下,张桂梅决定离开这片她太过熟悉的地方。)”可知,丈夫离世促使她离开大理当地学校。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Over time, Zhang witnessed the gender gap in education in relatively poor rural areas. Urban and rural students already faced unequal access to quality education, and the traditional belief of male superiority only worsened rural girls’ situation. She discovered that many female students would just disappear after studying for a while and some were even pulled out of class(久而久之,张桂梅目睹了贫困农村地区存在的教育性别差距。城乡学生本就面临优质教育的不平等获取,而传统的男性优越观念更进一步恶化了农村女孩的处境。 她发现很多女生求学一段时间后就辍学,有的甚至被迫退学)”可知,这种教育上的性别不平等促使她创办女子高中。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“With the goal of never letting a girl fall behind in schooling, Zhang often works overtime despite suffering from several kinds of illnesses. She has walked to almost every household deep in the mountains(为了不让任何一名女孩失学,身患多种疾病的张桂梅经常超负荷工作。她走遍大山深处几乎每一户人家)”可推知,张桂梅意志坚定。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章围绕张桂梅这名教育工作者展开,她致力于山区女孩教育、创办免费女子高中,最后“The efforts paid off. Many female students have graduated from this school and gone to college.(努力终获回报,许多女生从这所学校毕业走进大学)”点明她的奉献最终取得成效。因此推断文章主要讲述一位教育工作者对女孩教育的奉献终于得到了回报。

Any C.E.O. book ought to do two things. First, it should be a tale of how the author did it. In Bee Fearless, the 10-year-old C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer's book, the origin story of Ulmer's company begins wit bee stings (蜇), after which her parents encourage her to learn about the insects rather than fear them. She does some research and finds out that bees are in danger, which raised her concern.
So the 4-year-old sets up a lemonade stand (柠檬汽水摊) outside her house in Austin, Tex.as. She sweetens her lemonade with honey, since bees make it and it's healthy. She sells it with an information card about bees. Her lemonade is awful at first, but a series of experiments produces something better. Best of all she donates money to bee-related organizations.
People around Austin notice it. The owner of a pizza shop offers to sell the drinks if she bottles it. Then she is invited to the TV series “Shark Tank" and later goes to Hollywood. She leaves Hollywood with $60,000 and expands her lemonade business.
So we have our good story. The second task is harder——for anyone, let alone a teenager selling her story to other kids: How do you make people believe that they too could accomplish something like this?
In Ulmer's book, she delivers the key to keeping in contact with customers like writing thank-you notes. She also writes about connecting with the strangers over a brief trade. Many grown-ups never learn the art of selling. Near the book's end, Ulmer describes telling a group of girls in South Africa to "imagine what it would feel like”" to buy things they want without having to ask others for help.
8. What first inspired Ulmer to start her business?
A. Her parents' blame. B. Her concern about bees.
C. Her hatred for businesses. D. Her desire to help other girls.
9. What does the underlined word“this" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Writing a book of bee protection. B. Selling bees successfully.
C. Succeeding in achieving one's goal. D. Saving bees in tieir own ways.
10. From Ulmer's story, we can infer that
A. after bee stings, she became afraid of bees
B. her attempt on lemonade was a total failure
C. her book only teaches girls how to help themselves
D. she develops a good relationship with customers
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book. B. To explain how to start a business.
C. To advertise a drink. D. To recommend a famous company.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了十岁的C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer成功的故事和她写的书。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段最后一句 “She does some research and finds out that bees are in danger, which raised her concern.”( 她做了一些研究并发现蜜蜂处于危险之中,这引起了她的关注。)可知,Ulmer在被蜜蜂蜇了后,在父母的鼓励下了解蜜蜂并产生关注,再由第二段首句“So the 4-year-old sets up a lemonade stand outside her house in Austin…”(因此,这个4岁的女孩在Austin的家门口摆了一个柠檬水摊……)可知,她对蜜蜂的关注激发了她的创业灵感。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。代词通常指代的是前文提到的相关内容。根据二、三段的叙述以及第四段第一、二句“So we have our good story. The second task is harder——for anyone, let alone a teenager selling her story to other kids”( 这就是我们的好故事。第二项任务对任何人来说都更难,更不用说一个十几岁的孩子把自己的故事卖给其他孩子了)可知,Ulmer取得了一系列成功,并且还要把自己成功的经验传递给其他孩子。进一步推出,下文“How do you make people believe that they too could accomplish something like this?”(你怎么使人相信他们也可以完成这样的事情?)中的this,是指让其他孩子也可以取得“这样的成功”,即“成功地达到某人的目标”。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的前两句“In Ulmer's book, she delivers the key to keeping in contact with customers like writing thank-you notes. She also writes about connecting with the strangers over a brief trade.”(在Ulmer的书中,她介绍了与客户保持联系的关键,就像写感谢信一样。她还写了关于与陌生人进行短暂交易的故事。)可知,Ulmer在书中说明了自己是如何通过感谢信和顾客保持联系的,可以推断出她与顾客之间培养了良好的关系。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。从文章第一段,尤其是“In Bee Fearless, the 10-year-old C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer's book…”(在《无畏的蜜蜂》中,十岁的C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer的书)及最后一段第一句“In Ulmer's book, she…”(在书中,她……)可以看出,本文是在介绍Mikayla Ulmer的一本书。故选A项。

In November 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT. Within two months of the program’s launch, 51 percent of K-12 teachers reported using ChatGPT. Forty percent said they used it at least once a week; 53 percent anticipated increased use this year.
Cherie Shields, a high school English teacher in Sandy, is one of those teachers. Recently Shields asked ChatGPT to generate ten different project options for her sci-fi unit. Instead of a traditional essay assignment, the program suggested imaginative projects such as creating and explaining a poster of an alien (外星人).
ChatGPT can also rewrite materials at different reading levels. Shields explains that she sent tenth-grade assignments to ChatGPT, asking the chatbot to restructure the material at a sixth-grade level. Her students were then able to follow along and participate in class with their differentiated material. “It’s really easy now to make different types of assignments,” says Shields.
Similarly, Kim Lepre, a seventh-grade English teacher in California, explains that when used correctly, ChatGPT can simplify and improve educators’ everyday lives. Lepre uses the program to create tests and email parents, saving more time to interact with students. “I can just focus on teaching the kids now,” says Lepre.
For all this, many educators fear how it will affect their classroom. As the ChatGPT website explains, ChatGPT occasionally generates misinformation and untimely and biased (片面的) responses. Even creators acknowledge that the program is not a credible source of factual information and should not be treated as an academic source.
The biggest concern is cheating. More than one-fourth of teachers have caught students using the chatbot to cheat, the Study. com survey found. A flood of ChatGPT-generated work has left many educators spending more time checking for AI plagiarism (抄袭) and updating lesson plans to be “AI-proof”.
“As educators, we haven’t figured out the best way to use AI yet,” says Lepre. “But it’s coming. I think we should teach students how to use this tool. It’s kind of like handing a kid a calculator — that’s one thing, but quite another to show them how to use it. That’s even more powerful.”
12. What is Shields’s attitude toward ChatGPT?
A. Favorable. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
13. How does ChatGPT benefit Lepre?
A. It helps create innovative project ideas.
B. It adapts materials for different students.
C. It reduces her pressure on grading papers.
D. It frees her up to engage with students.
14. What is the main idea of paragraph 5?
A. ChatGPT is misused.
B. ChatGPT can be unreliable.
C. ChatGPT is biased against educators.
D. ChatGPT makes plagiarism more serious.
15. Why is a calculator mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To stress the proper use of AI.
B. To show AI is easy to access.
C. To warn of the overuse of AI.
D. To suggest AI will replace teachers.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了ChatGPT在美国K-12教育领域的普及现状,展现了其为教师备课、分层教学带来便利的同时,也引发了关于学术诚信、信息可靠性的担忧,并指出应引导学生正确使用这一工具。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of a traditional essay assignment, the program suggested imaginative projects such as creating and explaining a poster of an alien (外星人). (该程序没有布置传统的论文作业,而是建议了一些富有想象力的项目,比如创作并解说一张外星人海报)”以及第三段““It’s really easy now to make different types of assignments,” says Shields. (Shields说:“现在设计不同类型的作业真的很容易。”)”可知,Shields认为ChatGPT能为教学提供创意、简化工作,由此推知,她对ChatGPT持赞成、认可的态度。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Lepre uses the program to create tests and email parents, saving more time to interact with students. “I can just focus on teaching the kids now,” says Lepre. (Lepre使用该程序来出题和给家长发邮件,从而省下更多时间与学生们互动。Lepre说:“我现在可以只专注于教孩子们了。”)”可知,ChatGPT帮Lepre分担了行政事务,让Lepre有更多精力投入到与学生的交流教学中。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“As the ChatGPT website explains, ChatGPT occasionally generates misinformation and untimely and biased (片面的) responses. Even creators acknowledge that the program is not a credible source of factual information and should not be treated as an academic source. (正如ChatGPT网站所解释的,它会偶尔生成错误信息以及不及时和有偏见的回答。甚至开发者也承认,该程序不是事实信息的可靠来源,不应被视为学术来源)”可知,本段重点指出了ChatGPT本身提供的信息并不总是准确可靠的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But it’s coming. I think we should teach students how to use this tool. It’s kind of like handing a kid a calculator — that’s one thing, but quite another to show them how to use it. That’s even more powerful. (但它即将到来。我认为我们应该教学生如何使用这个工具。这有点像给孩子一个计算器——给他是一回事,教他怎么用是另一回事。后者的作用要强大得多。)”可知,作者借助计算器类比,旨在强调不仅要让学生接触AI,更重要的是教会他们如何恰当、正确地使用AI工具。
三、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共12.5分。
Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____16____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ____17____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
____18____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____19____ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ____20____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A. I don't often use this dictionary.
B. It takes no account of the context.
C. But I still don't want to replace them.
D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.

【18题详解】
下文“It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.(它应该给出每个单词的精确定义,从而将其与其他含义相似但不相同的单词区分开来。它通常还会显示单词的发音。)”提到了字典的功能,E选项“Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling.(当然,字典不仅仅是用来拼写的。)”提到了字典的部分功能,能引起下文内容。故选E项。

【20题详解】
上文“ “To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work, ” wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of ”dull".(约翰逊在解释“dull”的一个定义时写道:“编字典是件无聊的工作(乏味)。”)”提到了编写字典是件乏味的工作,下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟的时间浏览一两页是一种有益的体验。)”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣,D选项“But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣。)”是作者对字典的评价,与上文的“乏味”形成对比,与上文构成转折关系。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了上海久事美术馆举办的一场以围棋为灵感的艺术展览。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:上海久事美术馆正在举办一场展览,展出的艺术品灵感来自围棋(中文称为“围棋”),它起源4000多年前的中国。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词为Go, or weiqi in Chinese,指物,且关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:围棋是最早的基于二元的棋类游戏之一。形容词最高级前用定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我们希望在一个视觉语境中呈现相当抽象的围棋游戏和人工智能,并与极简主义艺术、观念艺术和表现主义展开对话。本句谓语为hope,此处为非谓语动词,hope to do sth.“希望做某事”,所以此处需用动词present“呈现”的不定式,作宾语。故填to present。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:你试图引导对手进入你的陷阱,迫使他们跟随你的“引导”直到他们输掉。此处作follow的宾语,用名词guidance“引导”,不可数名词。故填guidance。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:她补充说:“玩家的个性在游戏中显露出来,一个人的弱点会暴露给对手。”本句描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,且主语The players’ personalities与动词reveal“揭示,显示”为被动关系,所以空处需用一般现在时态的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用are。故填are revealed。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:一个不错的赢家总是尽力以仅仅一两分的优势击败对手,以表示对对方的尊重。根据always可知,本句描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语a decent winner为第三人称单数,所以谓语需用try“尽力”的第三人称单数tries。故填tries。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。“by+具体数值”表示“以(某一差值)”,此处指“以一到两分的优势”,符合语境。故填by。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:屠宁宁说,黑白棋子之间的平衡,棋子在策略布局上的美感,以及每一步棋所蕴含的能量流动,都激发了艺术家们为展览创作油画、雕塑、数字生成的图片和丝网版画。此处修饰名词placement,需用形容词strategic或者strategical“战略性的,策略的”,作定语。故填strategic/strategical。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。the balance between the black and white pieces, the beauty in the strategic placement of the pieces, the energy flow following each move三者为并列关系,作并列主语,所以空处需用连词and。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。此处修饰形容词generated,需用副词digitally“数字地”,作状语。故填digitally。

My friend Mike is very poor. But I think he is the luckiest boy I've ever known. He is one of a large, happy family.
One hot day, we were going to the ball field for a big game. "How hot it is today!” I said. “It is too far to walk to the ball field on a day like this. We'd better take a bus. ”
“Yes, it is hot,“ said Mike. " So let's go by bus. I think it is all right for me to take a dime for the bus (一角硬币). ”
I followed him into his house. He put his hand into a small bag hanging on the door. Then he brought out some money. After taking one dime, he put the rest of the money back.
“Who owns the money?” I asked. "Is it all right for you to take money from the bag?”
“Yes," he smiled. "This money belongs to every one of us in the family. When we children earn money, we put it into the bag. Father puts in the most. Then when we need money, we can take it from the bag. The money bag is Mother's idea. She thinks it will teach us to spend money carefully and to know its real value. ”
“Doesn't anyone know how much you take?” I asked.
“Oh, no,“ said Mike. "Mother says we must trust each other.
“But couldn't you take out more than you need for the bus?” I asked.
“I could,“ answered Mike. "But then there might not be enough money for Jane and Fred. Someone in our family is always needing something. If I take more than I need, there won't be enough to go around.
注意.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。

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“And how do you children earn money?” I asked.
“We have many ways to earn money,” he said. “We get up early to sell newspapers in the streets on weekends, or work in the stores in the neighborhood after school. Sometimes we get paid by looking after the neighbors’ children when the parents have to be away from home. Besides, we have a small garden where we grow vegetables all the year around, and we can get money by selling some of them. ”
As we were waiting for the bus, I kept thinking how lucky Mike was. He had a happy family in which the family members got on so well, trusting each other, and caring for each other. Moreover, he had a great mother. Her idea of the money bag not only taught the children the real value of money, but also the true meaning of it. Most importantly, it taught them how to be a person of good character. That day, I also learned a lot from the money bag.
【解析】

【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘你们这些孩子怎么挣钱呢?’我问。”可知,第一段可描写迈克和其他兄弟姐妹是如何挣钱的。
②由第二段首句内容“在等车的时候,我一直在想迈克多幸运啊。”可知,第二段可描写作者为什么认为迈克很幸运。
