When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)?
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
C
When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin.
Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still.
Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking.
So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start.
By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing.
28. Why did the author keep following the same routines?
A. To escape from heavy work. B. To overcome her procrastination.
C. To gain a false sense of progress. D. To improve her writing technique.
29. What actually prevented the author from writing?
A. Lack of new ideas. B. Pursuit of perfection.
C. Desire for social fame. D. Concern over disapproval.
30. How did the author manage to restart her writing?
A. By taking one step at a time. B. By focusing on small details.
C. By reflecting on the outcome. D. By following a flexible schedule.
31. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Courage helps fight against fear. B. Stillness can be part of creativity.
C. Procrastination is a waste of time. D. Writers should avoid taking breaks.
D
Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
32. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To bridge the divide. B. To maximize profits.
C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity.
33. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.
C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement.
34. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Limitations of AI platforms.
B. Application of intelligent data tools.
C. Prospect of top football teams.
D. Significance of AI-based sports tech.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller
B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event
C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant
D. Football Language Model: A Charged Service

67. 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。
It was 1:00 a.m. Thursday in the town art gallery. A window suddenly opened and a figure flashed out. It was Harry Black, a thief. He drew out his knife and took the painting worth $1 million out of the frame skillfully and carefully. Then he went back across the hall to the window where he had just climbed in. In the darkness, he bumped into a table with a beautiful blue glass vase on it, falling on the floor and breaking into pieces. Harry murmured to himself, “Is this $1 million vase? But I didn’t mean to.” Running across the pieces of glass, he disappeared.
Harry had a room in Mrs. Allen’s rooming house. He went up to his room as quietly as a mouse. Mrs. Allen and her daughter Janay were sleeping soundly. Harry took the painting, put it in a newspaper, hid them under his bed and left.
The next morning, Janay was in the kitchen, old bottles put into a box. Every Friday morning, a recycling truck would come and she was used to taking botties and old newspaper for recycling from every room in the house.
On the TV, an anxious reporter was making a live report at the very art gallery. “It’s $1 million painting,” he was saying. “Here’s a photo of it.” Then he was introducing a blue glass vase, “It’s in 100 pieces now.” Janay looked at the photo of the vase carelessly, asking her mother if she had some old bottles.
Janay opened Harry’s door and looked into his room. “There’s a newspaper under Harry’s bed.” She felt as if she’d found a priceless treasure.
Meanwhile, Harry was whispering with a man on the phone. Finally, a smile came out of Harry’s face. It was obvious that they had finally settled the price of the painting. But when Harry came back to the house, he saw the recycling truck going away and Janay smiling. It suddenly occurred to him that today was Friday. “NEWSPAPER! Oh no!” he exclaimed in despair and chased after the truck, “Wait! Wait!”
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。
Janay watched him puzzled.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Janay hurried home and dialed the police.

【原文】W: So, Richard, tell us about what got you started as an independent filmmaker.
M: From an early age I enjoyed watching films, but it never occurred to me that I could do it myself until one day I picked up my father’s camera and started recording what was happening around me every day.
W: What about your first job and what did you gain from it?
M: I first worked at a local video shop that had a section of unclassifiable films. These films made up their own rules and always left me feeling as if something inside me had changed. They also proved that the medium of film could change someone’s views of the world, and that made me more determined to pursue filmmaking.
W: And yet you claim that you don’t make art films.
M: Even though I want to make this type of film, it is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message through understandable films using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concepts. By the way, I am not interested in art films that follow a predictable pattern.

【原文】 And now, to move on to our competition this month, most of us think we can write a story. Well, here’s your chance to show that you can. Your story should be no longer than 800 words, although it can be as few as 500. So what sort of story should you write? We’ve had science fiction and crime stories and competitions before, but this time we want a thriller. If you send in a comedy, I’m afraid it won’t win. You may want to write about your own town or city, but we’re asking for stories set in the countryside. We think that gives everyone more chances to use their imagination. You can choose the season yourself. You might like winter because it’s dark and cold or summer because it’s hot and sunny. The judges are well-known writers themselves. Jack Harris wrote an award-winning novel, The Lion, and Carol Simmons is the editor of the magazine, Creative Writing, as well as the author of many short stories. You can email your stories directly to us. The email address is short story at star radio dot Co dot UK and the closing date is July the 12th. Any stories we receive after this date will not be judged. The winning story will be put onto our website for everyone to read. There are several prizes, including books and CDs, and the winner will be given a notebook computer that should encourage everyone to try and write a good story.

When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)?
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers?
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚使用固定电话的情况,并且表达了固定电话是非必需品的观点。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.(现在你很难在澳大利亚找到15岁以上的没有手机的人。事实上,很多年幼的孩子口袋里都有手机。几乎每个人都可以随时随地拨打和接听电话)”可推知,本段主要说明手机在澳大利亚广受欢迎。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.(在那些仍然拥有固定电话的澳大利亚人中,三分之一的人concede这不是真正必须的,他们将其作为一种安全保障——19%的人说他们从未使用过固定电话,另有13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况)”可知,许多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的,有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况,所以三分之一的人承认了固定电话的非必要性。由此推知,推测划线单词表示“承认”,与admit同义。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.(婴儿潮时代中有84%的人可能已经有50年相同的家庭号码了)”以及第五段“That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents (也就是说,老实说,唯一打过我们家电话的人是婴儿潮一代的父母)”可推知,婴儿潮一代的人一直在用固定电话。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? (你有多喜欢你的固定电话?它们还要多久才能走上煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的道路?)”以及常识可知,本段使用类比的方式,使用煤气路灯以及早晨送牛奶已经被淘汰的例子,侧面说明了固定电话总有一天会被废弃的。故选B项。
C
When I wrote my first book three years ago, the words came naturally. Eight weeks of even rhythm and it was finished with ease. So when I sat down to write my second book, I expected the same effortless flow. Instead, I found myself staring at a blinking (闪烁的) typing line that seemed to flash with quiet accusation. I couldn’t begin.
Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline. Still, the familiar motions kept me occupied while the work itself remained still.
Eventually, exhaustion softened my stress, and I stopped pushing. What if the resistance was trying to tell me something? I opened my journal and started writing — not about the book, but about why I couldn’t write it. The truth that poured out was simple and childlike: What if this book isn’t as good as the first? What if readers decide a woman like me has already said everything she knows? Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking.
So I tried something different. I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start.
By the time I finished, I saw procrastination differently. It was never merely delay. It was a quiet dialogue between the part of me that wants to try and the part that fears the fall. What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing.
28. Why did the author keep following the same routines?
A. To escape from heavy work. B. To overcome her procrastination.
C. To gain a false sense of progress. D. To improve her writing technique.
29. What actually prevented the author from writing?
A. Lack of new ideas. B. Pursuit of perfection.
C. Desire for social fame. D. Concern over disapproval.
30. How did the author manage to restart her writing?
A. By taking one step at a time. B. By focusing on small details.
C. By reflecting on the outcome. D. By following a flexible schedule.
31. What message does the author seem to deliver in the last paragraph?
A. Courage helps fight against fear. B. Stillness can be part of creativity.
C. Procrastination is a waste of time. D. Writers should avoid taking breaks.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】作者写第二本书遭遇写作拖延,发现根源是害怕他人评判。她从小片段逐步动笔完成书稿,领悟到拖延带来的停滞,也可以是创作过程的一部分。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Day after day, I repeated the same routines: I set up the perfect workspace, blocked out hours for writing, and reread old pages that had once made me proud. None of it helped. For a while, I blamed myself, mistaking my procrastination (拖延) for laziness or lack of discipline.(日复一日,我重复着同样的流程:布置完美的工作环境,专门安排写作时间,再重新阅读那些曾经让我自豪的旧文稿。但这一切都无济于事。有一段时间,我责怪自己,误以为拖延是懒惰或缺乏自律)”可知,作者一直坚持同样的模式是为了获得一种虚假的进步感。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Beneath the delay, I found fear — not of the work, but of judgment. Procrastination had become a safety net; staying still meant avoiding being seen and possibly found lacking.(在拖延之下,我发现了恐惧——不是对工作的恐惧,而是对评判的恐惧。拖延已变成了一种安全网;停滞不前意味着避免被发现,以及可能被认定为不足)”可知,对不被认可的担忧阻止了作者写作。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I set a timer for five minutes and wrote whatever came. A sentence, half an idea, a small whisper of a scene. My hand moved first, and my mind followed. Piece by piece, those small beginnings grew into the book I had been afraid to start.(我设了个五分钟的计时器,然后写下所有涌上心头的东西——一句句子、半个想法,或是一段场景的微弱低语。我的手先动了,思绪随之而来。一点一滴,那些微小的开端逐渐成长,最终化作我曾害怕开始的那本书)”可知,作者通过一步一步地前进重新开始写作。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“What I once called wasted time was, in truth, the stillness before courage — the quiet reward of writing.(我曾经称之为浪费时间的,实际上正是勇气之前的静默——写作带来的宁静回报)”可知,作者在最后一段传达了宁静可以成为创造力的一部分。
D
Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation.
This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play.
FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous in-game brilliance.
Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition.
32. Why is the AI platform developed?
A. To bridge the divide. B. To maximize profits.
C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity.
33. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3?
A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language.
C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement.
34. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Limitations of AI platforms.
B. Application of intelligent data tools.
C. Prospect of top football teams.
D. Significance of AI-based sports tech.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller
B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event
C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant
D. Football Language Model: A Charged Service
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了国际足联与联想合作开发的免费AI平台Football AI Pro,它通过将复杂数据转化为易懂的战略分析,帮助各支球队平等竞争,体现了AI作为辅助工具在体育领域的公平化意义。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation. (预算有限的小国很少能负担得起专门的数据科学家或定制分析软件,这在赛前准备上造成了不公平的差距。)”以及第二段“This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. (这种不平衡将在2026年国际足联世界杯上被大幅消除,这要归功于国际足联与其官方技术合作伙伴联想共同开发的一套完整的人工智能工具。)”可知,开发该AI平台是为了消除强弱球队之间的数据技术差距,即弥合鸿沟。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. (它将复杂的运动统计数据转化为易于理解的产出:书面战略摘要、精彩视频片段、交互式图表和动态3D球场可视化。)”可知,该平台简化了复杂的数据。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. (展望未来,2026年世界杯作为一个全球蓝图,展示了AI如何使顶级体育赛事更加平等。)”以及“This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition. (这项赛事证明,智能数据工具可以被普遍共享,让才华——而非财力——来决定哪些球队能在全球最大的足球比赛中晋级。)”可知,最后一段重点阐述了基于AI的体育科技在促进公平竞争方面的深远意义。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第四段“FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. (国际足联创新团队强调,人工智能仅充当助手,绝不会取代人类的技术、判断力或创造力。)”以及全文对Football AI Pro平台功能及其辅助作用的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了这款AI平台作为“得力助手”的角色,所以“足球AI Pro:一个有能力的助手”适合作为文章标题。

【41题详解】
考查动词。句意:她漂亮的眼睛打动了儿子,但我却不容易被取悦。A. replace替换;B. defeat击败;C. award奖励;D. please使高兴,取悦。根据前文“Her beautiful eyes won him over”及后文“The dog needed to have a bath and had better not sleep on our sofa.”可知,狗赢得了儿子的心,作者提出养狗的条件,并不容易被这只小狗打动、取悦。
【42题详解】

【46题详解】
考查动词。句意:Kaya和我们一起生活了将近三个月,一天凌晨4点,她开始疯狂地叫起来。A. finished完成;B. practiced练习;C. postponed推迟;D. started开始。根据空后“barking like crazy. I looked outside and saw her running up and down along the fence”可知,此处描写凌晨突然发生的动作,小狗开始狂叫。
【47题详解】
考查动词。句意:我往外看,看到她沿着我们和邻居共用的围栏来回跑。A. shared共用,共享;B. avoided避免;C. hid隐藏;D. threw扔。根据空后“with our neighbors”可知,两家相邻的围栏是双方共同拥有、使用的。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:吵闹声大到足以把邻居吵醒。A. shiny闪亮的;B. noisy吵闹的;C. trendy时髦的;D. heavy沉重的。根据空后“enough to wake up the neighbors”可知,能把邻居吵醒,说明小狗的叫声非常吵闹。

考查名词。句意:接着传来一声喊叫,随后是玻璃破碎和门砰地关上的声音。A. plot情节;B. demonstration演示;C. sound声音;D. cause原因。根据空后“of glass breaking and a door slamming”可知,玻璃碎掉、门被关上都是可以听到的声响。

【51题详解】

67. 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。
It was 1:00 a.m. Thursday in the town art gallery. A window suddenly opened and a figure flashed out. It was Harry Black, a thief. He drew out his knife and took the painting worth $1 million out of the frame skillfully and carefully. Then he went back across the hall to the window where he had just climbed in. In the darkness, he bumped into a table with a beautiful blue glass vase on it, falling on the floor and breaking into pieces. Harry murmured to himself, “Is this $1 million vase? But I didn’t mean to.” Running across the pieces of glass, he disappeared.
Harry had a room in Mrs. Allen’s rooming house. He went up to his room as quietly as a mouse. Mrs. Allen and her daughter Janay were sleeping soundly. Harry took the painting, put it in a newspaper, hid them under his bed and left.
The next morning, Janay was in the kitchen, old bottles put into a box. Every Friday morning, a recycling truck would come and she was used to taking botties and old newspaper for recycling from every room in the house.
On the TV, an anxious reporter was making a live report at the very art gallery. “It’s $1 million painting,” he was saying. “Here’s a photo of it.” Then he was introducing a blue glass vase, “It’s in 100 pieces now.” Janay looked at the photo of the vase carelessly, asking her mother if she had some old bottles.
Janay opened Harry’s door and looked into his room. “There’s a newspaper under Harry’s bed.” She felt as if she’d found a priceless treasure.
Meanwhile, Harry was whispering with a man on the phone. Finally, a smile came out of Harry’s face. It was obvious that they had finally settled the price of the painting. But when Harry came back to the house, he saw the recycling truck going away and Janay smiling. It suddenly occurred to him that today was Friday. “NEWSPAPER! Oh no!” he exclaimed in despair and chased after the truck, “Wait! Wait!”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】Janay watched him puzzled. “Why is your newspaper important, Harry?” she asked. But Harry didn’t listen to her at all, just thinking the $1,000,000 painting. Janay was looking at Harry’s shoes. His shoes were covered with some blue glass. All of a sudden, she remembered of the blue glass vase on the TV. Looking again, she thought. “Is it from the vase in the art gallery? Is Harry Black the thief?”
Janay hurried home and dialed the police. Two policemen arrived quickly. At first Harry didn’t understand what was going on. One of the policemen took the glass from Harry’s shoes. “This is a very expensive piece of glass,” he continued after a pause, “from a very expensive vase. Remember?” On hearing this. Harry sank to the ground. More policemen also rushed to the scene, and later they found the painting. “Awesome!” one of the policemen gave her a thumbs-up.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了小偷哈利偷走了画廊里一幅珍贵的画作,但是他不小心打碎了一个花瓶,并不经意带走了一个花瓶碎片。哈利房东的女儿Janay在收集旧报纸时碰巧拿走了哈利藏画的报纸并扔进了回收车。哈利发现后追回收车。
