As the sixth What Kids Are Reading report bemoans(哀叹) about a tendency among secondary school students to read books that are too easy—suggesting that teachers and librarians aren’t pushing challenging titles strongly enough to older kids—the organizers of World Book Day have announced a list that might serve as a corrective, or at least a useful source of ideas.
Satellite by Nick Lake
Leo was born in space, living all his life on space station Moon 2 with fellow space-children Libra and Orion. Now, at 15,he is almost due to go to Earth for the first time, but more awaits him there. An extraordinary science fiction, as diverse as lain M Banks at his best. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
A standout debut (首次创作), this US novel is the Black Lives Matter (BLM)-inspired story of Starr Carter, whose friend Khalil is shot dead by a police officer as she watches and whose divided life awakes in the fallout. Full of vivid detail and dry humour, with a charming narrator, it reads like a typical text.
Things a Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls
Nicholls’ exciting narrative follows May, the free-thinking daughter of a Quaker, and Nell, the tough, capable mainstay of her poor family. As the ghost of war appears ever closer, what will they sacrifice and what will be taken from them? An unforgettable historical novel.

John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.
Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination.
Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which had held such importance for her father.
In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John's life, his days in the British Navy during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.
Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of John's life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.
Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.
4. Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel ______.
A. proud B. worried
C. curious D. guilty
5. The underlined word ''ritual" in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. law B. tradition
C. interest D. procedure
6. We can infer from the text that John ______.
A. once served in both World Wars B. was a man with a grateful heart
C. spent his childhood in Bangor D. joined the navy in the 1970s
7. What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A. Her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.
B. The story of how she made friends with a lady.
C. Her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.
D. Her memories of a man who fed seagulls.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D
【语篇解读】
这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者童年时期和John的有关回忆,但随着作者的成长,John也逐渐淹没在了作者的回忆里。一次偶然的机会,作者遇到了John的女儿,两个人以某种特殊的方式享受着共同的回忆纽带。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。第一段最后两句提到“To many, he was a mystery….”每天下午John都会去喂海鸥,而对于许多人来说John就像是一个谜,作者对于John的事迹也觉得好奇,故选C。
【5题详解】
词意猜测题。第三段第一句提到“where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier,…”作者沿着海岸线走的时候遇到了John的女儿,在John去世后,她也像John那样在码头上喂海鸥,由此可知这是父女间的传统。A. law法律;B. tradition传统;C. interest兴趣;D. procedure程序。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。第四段第二句提到“his days in the British Navy during World War I…”John只参加了一战,故A项错误。第一段第一句提到“John was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays.”作者在班戈海滩度过了自己童年的一部分,并不是John在班戈海滩长大,且作者是在70年代遇到了John,并不是John在70年代参军,故C、D项错误。文中第四、五段提到,John
在一战时被德国潜艇后差点死亡,是一只降落在救生艇上的海鸥救了他和战友的性命,让他们活着回到陆地上。此后,John每天都会在海边来喂海鸥,以报答海鸥的救命之恩。由此可判断John是一个怀有感恩之心的人。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章可知,第一段介绍了作者在海滩边见到了每天都来海边喂海鸥的John。第三段介绍了在一次偶然的机会下,作者遇到了John的女儿,并且John的女儿给作者讲述了John的一些故事,包括John去海边喂海鸥的原因,由文章内容可判断本文讲述了作者记忆中喂海鸥的那个男人。故选D。
C
British parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.
Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not see musical achievement by their children as character building or useful in getting university places or jobs. Instead, it was usually only those parents who played instruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.
This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middle-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with other benefits, such as developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of ‘concerted cultivation’, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”
Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providing their children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.”
By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between what is considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or career possibilities. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own right.
One Scottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “We’ve got two learning musical instruments. If we think it’s maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldn't force them.” A housewife said, “My son’s just turned five and I want him to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but it’s up to him.”
In some UK families, said Dr. Reeves, music was even “believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”
8. What do British parents think of music learning?
A. Useful for job application. B. Helpful for character building.
C. Beneficial to further education. D. Worthwhile as a family tradition.
9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cultural practice. B. Educational success.
C. Concerted cultivation. D. School-based musical practice.
10. What can be inferred from the text?
A The future of American kids is not promising.
B. American parents hardly link music with success.
C. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.
D. British parents show little concern about education.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Reasons for British music preference.
B. British parenting style in music education.
C. Americans’ attitude towards music learning.
D. Differences between British and American parents.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。英国父母鼓励孩子们演奏乐器,把这件事当成家庭传统的一部分,不像美国人那样是为了提高社会地位。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段British parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family tradition可知英国父母把音乐学习当成家庭传统的一部分,故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of ‘concerted cultivation’, where parents organize music-centred activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.” Researchers had owed this to “parental anxiety over the declining fortunes of educated Americans. 可知中产阶级家庭通常采取“协同培养”
的模式,也就是父母为孩子组织以音乐为中心的活动,这经常是在以学校为基础的音乐实践之外(进行的)。研究人员将此归因于“父母对于受过良好教育的美国人财富减少的焦虑”。所以这里的this指代的就是‘concerted cultivation’(协同培养)这个模式,故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段的两位父母说的If we think it’s maybe worthwhile we try and encourage them, but we wouldn't force them和My son’s just turned five and I want him to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but it’s up to him.”可知英国父母不会强迫自己的小孩学乐器 ,学什么乐器取决于小孩自己。这说明对英国小孩来说,音乐学习是个人选择,故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章开头British parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part of a family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.和后面具体内容可知本文主要就是讲述了英国父母把鼓励孩子们演奏乐器当成家庭传统的一部分,因此B项(英国父母在音乐教育中的教育方式。)最适合,故选B项。
【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象,考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人,物,事件的认知能力。解答这类题时,同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容,分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程,理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系,从而准确推断其指代的对象。例如,在第2小题中,同学们要结合前面一段的内容才能理清this的指代内容,仅凭this所在句是无法推理出其指代意义的。
D
There is an unforgettable beauty to the Karoo, a vast semi-desert, that seems empty save for the stars overhead and sheep eating grass below. Economic opportunities here are few.
But the Karoo’s clear skies also draw some of the world's best scientists. A radio telescope project called the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is under construction, with the latest group of 64 giant antennae(天线)due to be completed late next year. When finished, it will be the biggest radio telescope in the world and should allow scientists to peer into the origins of the universe.
Still, some sheep farmers are complaining. Because of the sensitivity of the telescope, the surrounding area must be kept free from radio interference(干扰)caused by everything from mobile phones to microwave ovens and some car engines. The SKA is buying up more farms than originally expected to ensure radio silence over an area of some 130,000 hectares. There will be
no mobile phone signals allowed, except in the few towns in the area. Save the Karoo, an advocacy group, isn’t convinced by the bright future of groundbreaking astronomical discoveries. Its members fear the restrictions will make the Karoo “a cut-off and backward region”, and warn that people serving farms near the SKA site could face financial ruin. “I don't care about a black hole siting somewhere out in space,” says Eric Torr, an organiser with the group. “It does not put food on the table.”
Sky-high expectations in this down-at-heel area are also a problem. An SKA official complains that the locals expect the telescope to solve all their problems. Some jobs have been created, but few locals have the skills to find out the secrets of distant galaxies. Until recently the high school in Carnarvon, a nearby town, didn’t even have a maths and science teacher. The SKA organisation hired one, and is also offering scholarship to college students. Perhaps if the next generation's horizons are raised, they will be able to take advantage of the radio telescopes in their own backyard.
12. The project SKA is aimed at ______.
A creating jobs for locals B. exploring the universe
C. protecting the sheep D. saving the Karoo
13. What most disturbs the locals’ life?
A. The shrinking of their farmlands. B. Restrictions of radio signals.
C. The construction of the project. D. Noises of car engines.
14. What can be inferred from Eric’s words?
A. Food should be put on the table. B. Eric faces financial difficulty.
C. The black hole is nowhere to be found. D. The project makes no sense to Eric.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Telescope in the Backyard B. Expectations of the Locals
C. Biggest Radio Telescope D. Great Astronomical Discovery
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。科学家们在空气质量良好的半沙漠地区卡鲁架设SKA射电望远镜项目,但该项目周边地区需要保持无线电静默,“拯救卡鲁”这一组织对SKA项目持怀疑态度,认为该项目会使地区经济面临崩溃。SKA
项目的官员却认为该项目提供了工作机会,并且由可能提高地区受教育的水平。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到“When finished, it will be the biggest radio telescope in the world and should allow scientists to peer into the origins of the universe.”当这个射电望远镜建成后,科学家将通过它来窥探宇宙的起源。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。第三段第二句提到“Because of the sensitivity of the telescope, the surrounding area must be kept free from radio interference(干扰)caused by everything from mobile phones to microwave ovens and some car engines.”因为望远镜的敏感性,周边地区必须保持无线电静默,手机、微波炉、汽车都会对望远镜造成干扰。当地人对此十分抱怨。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。第三段最后一句提到““I don't care about a black hole siting somewhere out in space,” says Eric Torr, an organiser with the group. “It does not put food on the table.””Eric是“拯救卡鲁”组织的管理者,他表示并不关心太空中的黑洞,而且这个望远镜项目并不会为当地人提供食物,由此判断Eric并不关心这个项目,认为这个项目毫无意义。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。结合文章大意可知,文章第一、二段介绍了SKA射电望远镜项目的基本情况,第三段介绍了该项目对周边地区所造成的影响,第四、五段则介绍了这个项目所造成的争议,由此可知此文全方位的介绍了射电望远镜项目的情况。A项符合文意,故选A。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.
Solar spot lights are highly energy efficient. Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time. ___17___, so you do not need a large upfront investment prior to seeing savings once you are using them.
___18___. Since they do not require direct electricity, there is no wiring to worry about and

Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well. ___19___ when installing the lights.

【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了太阳能聚光灯在家庭使用中的功能范围、安装方式及维护策略。
【16题详解】
考查上下文逻辑关系。第一段第一、二句提到…There are many ways to use them around your home's exterior as well.(聚光灯不仅能在音乐会和百老汇演出中使用,而且可以在家中使用以防止入侵者或者炫耀自己的花艺),且该段最后一句提到“Learning the advantages of this option will help you decide whether they are right for your home.”了解这个选项的优势将能帮助您确定是否适合自己的家。由此可知,空处为假设读者决定需要安装聚光灯的情况,G项提到If you should decide to use them, consider installing solar spot lights(如果你决定使用聚光灯,那就考虑装太阳能聚光灯吧)。G项起承上启下的作用。故选G。
【17题详解】
考查上下文逻辑关系。第二段第二句提到“Since they are operated solely using power from the sun, they will save you money and help the environment over time.”(这些太阳能聚光灯只使用来自太阳的能量,它们将节省你的钱,而且会随着时间的推移帮助环境的改善。)且最后一句提到“购买太阳能聚光灯不需要大量的前期投资”。由此判断,太阳能聚光灯的使用不仅对环境很友好,而且成本也不高。F项提到In addition, they are not particularly expensive to purchase either(另外,购买太阳能聚光灯也不是很贵)。F项起到承上启下的作用。故选F。
【18题详解】
考查段落中心句。分析第三段内容可知,空处需选择该段的中心句。第三段提到安装太阳能聚光灯时不需要直接供电,因此无需进行布线,而且可以安装在房子的任何地方。B.项提到They are extremely easy to install(安装太阳能聚光灯极其简单)符合该段的主要内容,故选B。
【19题详解】
考查上下文逻辑关系。第四段第一句提到“Solar spot lights are very safe to use, as well.”(太阳能聚光灯也非常的安全)后文中You can confidently place them near a swimming pool提到“甚至可以放心地安装在游泳池或者水源附近”,由此可判断太阳能聚光灯是没有触电的风险的。E项Again, they need no wiring, so there is no risk of electrical shock(太阳能聚光灯不需要接线,因此安装的过程中不会有电击的风险)。E项起到承上启下的作用。故选E。
【20题详解】
考查段落中心句。根据最后一段内容可知“You should wipe them regularly with a damp, soft cloth…”只要定期用湿抹布擦拭聚光灯就可以清除灰尘和污垢,而且电池的使用寿命也很长。由此可判断,太阳能聚光灯的后期使用维护非常的简单。A项Finally, they are easy to maintain(最后,维护方式也非常简单)符合该段的主要内容。故选A。
【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断,虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解,但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个,比四个选项中选一个,感觉干扰性更大,很大同学在做这个题目时,总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉,致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们,首先要克服心理障碍,同时要注意方式方法。其次,注意设空前后的句子,因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的,所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境。如第二题,可根据前后文提到的save you money(节省钱)和do not need a large upfront investment(不需要太大的前期投资)可判断空处应选择一项与费用相关的选项。故选F。
第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分 30 分)

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在2008年被收录到世界文化遗产的福建土楼。文章还介绍了福建土楼的历史、以往的功能等。同时,还通过例子介绍了福建土楼现今作为民宿发展的这一经济作用。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:2008年被列为世界文化遗产的土楼建筑,是中国东部福建省山区独一无二的农村住宅。分析句子可知,area为名词,意为“区域;地区”,因此需形容词在前作定语对其进行修饰。故填mountainous。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这些建筑出现在宋元时期,定形在明清时期。分析句子可知,宋元时期为过去的时间点,发生在过去时间点的事情用一般过去时即可。故填appeared。
【38题详解】
考查物主代词。句意:这些建筑出现在宋元时期,定形在明清时期。分析句子可知,下文current shapes名词短语,此处应天形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些建筑最初是为了客家人的共同居住和抵御侵略者而建造的。分析句子可知,修饰动词live together和defend against时应使用副词形式,故填originally。
【40题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:这些建筑最初是为了客家人的共同居住和抵御侵略者而建造的。分析句子可知,此处为固定词组defend against,意为“保卫;抵抗;抵御;防御”。故填against。
【41题详解】
考查关系代词。句意:它们时从当地的山区营地演变而来的,其中大多数都采取了圆形结构。分析句子可知,此句为非限制性定语从句,且是of+关系代词的结构。先行词camps为物,从句中缺少主语成分,因此需使用which在从句中作主语。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:大部分土楼在被列入名录以后发展起来,游客数量急剧上升。分析句子可知,since引导时间状语从句时,主句一般使用现在完成时,从句使用一般过去时,表示从“开始”被列入名录以来,土楼的发展和游客数量的上升在持续。且句中and需连接时态、语态一直的词语,前句中使用了现在完成时,空处也应使用现在完成时。the number of+名词复数形式时,其谓语要用三单形式,故填has risen。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:林健文是1912年建成的镇城土楼的第六代业主。分析句子可知,Zhencheng Building和build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填built。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:在高峰时期,一共有来自27个家庭的200口人住在这里。分析句子可知,本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词,因此需使用live作非谓语动词。live与逻辑主语people and families之间是主谓关系,故填living。
【45题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:他和他的家人一起做生意,并且把客人们都照顾的很好。后文中的business指代的是前文中出现的a homestay hotel民宿生意,前文中出现过的内容,后文再次出现时应使用定冠词the。故填the。
【点睛】介词+关系代词引导的定语从句,是定语从句中一种介词前置的定语从句句型,介词与关系代词之间存在一种介宾关系,在此结构中,关系代词只能用which(指物)或whom(指人)。但有些动词短语搭配不能拆分,介词只能放在动词后,如:look for,look after,pay attention to等等。

【语篇解读】
这是一篇应用文写作,根据题目要求可知,需写一篇关于学校举行赴美学习活动的书面通知。通知内应包括时间地点、报名条件及选拔形式。题目要求较为简单,但关于报名条件及选拔形式的内容需要详细描写。
【详解】此作文要求写一篇书面通知,因此可在活动时间地点、报名条件、选拔形式之外,再添加一项活动目的。题目中字数要求不多,可多使用从句、固定句型尽可能多的涵盖更多的信息。第一段中可阐述活动目的,如深入加强中美两国的文化交流,为学生开拓国际视野等等,由此可自然地引出报名条件,即报名者应具备良好的语言能力,对美国有简单了解则更会优先考虑。第二段则可阐述报名的时间地点及报名方式。最后可表达希望有报名加入活动想法的人都来参加的愿望。
【点睛】整篇文章要点明确,分段合理,字数适当,句式结构丰富是一篇比较标准的应试作文。文章第一句“To promote the Sino-US cultural interaction…”使用了不定式作目的状语。文章的最后一句“All the students who are qualified and interested are welcome to participate.”则使用了由who引导的定语从句。文中还使用了It's necessary for… to do sth.(做某事是必要的……),be expected to(期望;预期;有望做某事……),被动语态等高频句型、短语。
第二节 (满分 25 分)
47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
In 1989, fresh out of high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before
college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited options: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.
My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn’t have been more different. The hospital had an intense environment. The days started early (at 7 am, compared to 9 am at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business option was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through (穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
Paragraph1: Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. He hit the road face down and rolled over. He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus sped away. None of the cars behind the bus stopped. In fact, I felt the same urge to keep going, but the urge to stop and help was stronger. Knowing that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the body. With the help of some passers-by, I lifted his unconscious body into the car and raced back to the hospital. After his family was contacted, and he was wheeled into emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted.
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands to her face and started weeping. “Son, you are an angel!” she repeated. What a feeling this was, to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement, the most thrilling mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Two months of placements could not match what 30 minutes helping an accident victim had done for me. We spend a lot of our time wondering what path to take in our lives. This experience taught me that at times, these decisions are made for you - and that whatever happens is always for the best.
【语篇解读】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在毕业后的职业选择,作者在叔叔的帮助下分别体验了银行和医院的工作。作者在这一个月的工作中感觉银行的工作非常的轻松,而在医院的工作则非常繁重且不可预知。作者也因此在这两个工作中摇摆不定。
续写第一段提到“Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus.”突然一个男孩从公交车的后面摔了下来。需要续写作者在看到男孩摔下来后所进行的活动。第二段提到“The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.”作者去医院看望了男孩,男孩家人的脸上都露出了感激的笑容。由此可预判作者心中的天平偏向了医院工作的一边。
【详解】根据关键字判断情节发展。正文最后一段最后一句提到“It seemed that the business option was going to win out.”似乎金融行业要胜出了,但在续写第一段中的suddenly
使得后文出现了一个转折,因此第一段可以描写作者帮助出车祸男孩的过程。第二段则可以描写作者在看望男孩且收到男孩家人感谢的过程中再次感受到了医护工作给他带来的成就感和幸福的感觉,由此作者认为医院的工作会更适合他。最后升华主题,人们总是花时间在做选择上,但无论选择什么,对自己而言都是最好的。
【点睛】本文情节结构合理,内容展开恰当,是一篇比较优秀的读后续写。在续写第一段“Knowing that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the body.”和第二段中“Driving home that evening, I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”使用了现在分词作状语的结构,“What a feeling this was, to help save the life of another person!”由what引导的感叹句结构,使文章句型结构丰富。
