A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌)? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine. The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge. He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1，600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. “Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor，” he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.” 【真题再做】 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。John从小就喜欢观察大自然，并被自然的自净能力折服。大学时期经过专业的学习之后，John通过实验找到了合适的生态组合，发明出了“生态设计”，并解决了很多实际的污水净化问题。 24 25 26 27 24．What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs? A．He was fond of traveling. B．He enjoyed being alone. C．He had an inquiring mind. D．He longed to be a doctor. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“observing how nature solved problems”和“When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.”和第二段中的“John went back to observing nature and asking questions”以及第二段中的两个问题可以看出，John是一个喜欢刨根问底、喜欢探索的人，故C项正确。 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 25．Why did John put the sludge into the tanks? A．To feed the animals. B．To build an ecosystem. C．To protect the plants. D．To test the eco-machine. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，John修建水箱是为了清理污泥中的有害物质，为此，他在水箱里放了一些动植物。第四段中的“all that was left was pure water”表明了将污泥放入水箱之后的变化。据此可以推断，John在水箱里放入污泥是为了检验他的生态机器的效果，故D项正确。 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 26．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou? A．To review John’s research plans. B．To show an application of John’s idea. C．To compare John’s different jobs. D．To erase doubts about John’s invention. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。上文讲到了John的发明成功了，根据第五段的中心句“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs.”可知，多年来，John做了很多重大的工作。本段提到净化福州的运河水是为了举例说明John的发明及其理念在实践中的应用，故B项正确。 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 27．What is the basis for John’s work? A．Nature can repair itself. B．Organisms need water to survive. C．Life on Earth is diverse. D．Most tiny creatures live in groups. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。本文主要围绕John的疑问“A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived...if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.”展开，John发明的根源就在于自然的自我修复能力，且最后一段中的“Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”也印证了John的工作依据就在于“自我修复”这一理念，故A项正确。 【语篇精读】 John Todd受自然净化现象启发，经学习研究打造生态机器，利用动植物组合净化污泥、污水等，践行生态设计理念。 (一)词汇识记 1． n．物质；物品；东西 2． v．消化 3． n．生物 4． n．过程；进程；流程；步骤 v．处理；加工 5． n．陷阱；困境 vt.夹住；卡住；使陷入困境；设陷阱捕捉 substance digest creature process trap 6． vt.治疗；处理；对待；把……视为；招待 n．款待；乐趣；乐事 7． n．设计；布局；安排；构思 vt.设计；制造 8． n．生物；(尤指)微生物；有机体 treat design organism (二)词块释义 Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor...

Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way. Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment. One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路 线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely. 【真题再做】 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了美国爱荷华州的一位摄影师的拍摄日常。为了拍出优秀的风景照，作者付出了很多，其中不乏艰辛，当然有收获也有遗憾。 24．How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest? A．By teaming up with other photographers. B．By shooting in the countryside or state parks. C．By studying the geographical conditions. D．By creating settings in the corn fields. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To make some of my landscape shots...I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.”可知，作者和他的朋友们到州立公园或农村去拍照，以此来应对中西部缺少地理多样性的挑战。故B项正确。 24 25 26 27 25．What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author? A．Proper time management. B．Good shooting techniques. C．Adventurous spirit. D．Distinctive styles. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，在恰当的时间到达恰当的地点对于拍摄任何风格的照片都起着决定性的作用。第三段的最后一句验证了作者所说。故A项正确。 24 25 26 27 26．What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake? A．They went crazy with the purple quartz rock. B．They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset. C.They reached the shooting spot later than expected. D．They had problems with their equipment. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, we did not mark the route...it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.”可知，文中描述的是几乎完全错过了日落，之后安置拍摄设备的时间就非常有限了，也就是说他们比预想的到达得晚。故C项正确。 24 25 26 27 27．How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake? A.Amusing.　　　　　 B．Satisfying. C．Encouraging. D．Comforting. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots”可知，作者认为这是一些自己拍得最好的照片。故B项正确。 【语篇精读】 本文为记叙文。爱荷华州因地理环境单一给拍摄风景带来挑战，“我”常长途跋涉取景，深知时机与准备的重要性，曾因未标记路线险些错过绝佳的拍摄机会。 (一)词汇识记 1． adj.地理(学)的 2． n．(数量、水平等的)变化；变异；变更 3． adj.独特的 4． adj.决定性的；关键的；果断的 5． v．悬挂 geographical variation distinctive decisive hang (二)词块释义 1．Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him，” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money，” said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.” “So do I，” said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish.” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do，” said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.” 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too._____________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ 【任务一】　读懂故事内容，概括原文大意 经济衰退背景下，Meredith太太家的孩子为帮助贫困男孩Bernard，想出做爆米花让他售卖赚钱的办法。 【任务二】　根据段首句设问，预测故事走向 根据续写的第一段首句与第二段首句，确定第一段的框架；再根据第二段首句与正能量结尾，确定第二段的框架。即：两段首句定一框，二框二首正能量。 Paragraph 1：When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too.

Immediately，every one of them sprang into action. Mrs. Meredith went to find that big box of corn, while the children went from door to door to see if someone happened to have a popcorn machine. Fortunately, they borrowed one from a kind neighbour. The next few hours witnessed them making the popcorn and packaging them. When they were done, they flew to Bernard’s house and shared with him the idea. Hearing the good news, Bernard broke into a smile, eyes shining with excitement. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. The neighbours were all ready to help Bernard so the popcorn was sold out in a short time. Bernard returned with an empty basket, coins in hand. He held the coins tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. Since then, every Saturday morning, Bernard would find that the corn was all popped, the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket when he arrived. Thanks to John, all things went smoothly. Even a small act of kindness can make a difference to the world. [参考范文2] When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. She nodded with a smile and encouraged the children，“Let’s get started！” Immediately, Clara volunteered to get the box of corn and began to make popcorn. Meanwhile, John went to purchase some paper bags and put all the popcorn in place. After that, Mrs. Meredith together with her children, paid another visit to the family to tell them about the popcorn plan. Seeing the popcorn arranged in a basket, they were so overwhelmed by thrill and gratitude that they couldn’t utter a word. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. Despite the humble appearance of packages, Bernard’s business worked out amazingly well. Carrying the basket, he went door to door to sell the popcorn. Astonished to see such a poorly-dressed boy selling popcorn at their doors, the neighbours were kind enough to be his consumers. On returning, he was so grateful to the Meredith family that his eyes misted over. Afterwards, every week Bernard could support his family by selling popcorn. Bernard felt deep in his little heart that it is love that makes the world go around. [参考范文3] When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So Mrs. Meredith took out that big box of corn. At the sight of it, the children jumped up and down with joy. Then, they paid a visit to Uncle John, borrowed the popcorn machine and learned how to make the most delicious popcorn. It wasn’t long before they could make delicious popcorn. Very soon, they were busy popping while Mrs. Meredith went out to buy the paper bags. When she came back, she was followed by Bernard. Having been told the whole popcorn plan, Bernard was so moved and thankful that he could hardly speak. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He carried the popcorn on his little bike, going from door to door to sell it. People were surprised to see such a little, poorly-dressed boy selling popcorn at their doors, but eventually almost all did buy a bag or two. In a short time, Bernard returned with an empty basket, some coins in his hand. He held the coins tightly, tears rolling down uncontrollably. It is love that makes the world go round, which Bernard felt deep in his little heart. $
