In how many seasons can Americans watch basketball games? A. One season. B. Two seasons. C. Three seasons. 19. What sports games do Americans talk about most in summer? A. Football games. B. Baseball games. C. Basketball games. 20. What does the speaker mainly tell us about American football? A. Its history. B. Its differences. C. Its disadvantages. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【原文】If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States. It is mainly an indoor game, and the seasons extend from late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team and its loyal following of fans. In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of the land, and the activities of the professional teams are a topic of conversation for Americans everywhere. In the fall, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty seeing any sense in it. But for Americans, the game itself is not as important as the music, the cheering, and the festival spirit that go with it. On a cool, bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game. - 7 - 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 37. 5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Whether you’re traveling over your children’s spring break, summer vacation or winter holidays, you’ll find Miami is such a hot spot for families year-round. There are various activities for vacationing kids in Miami, and they can spend one day learning about some of Miami’s rich cultural heritage (遗产),as well as a bit of science and history. Start your day at Bayside Marketplace. There are plenty of shops and souvenir stands here for all members of the family. Kids will particularly enjoy Art By God, a shop devoted to natural stone, especially fossils(化石). From Bayside Marketplace walk two blocks north to visit what is perhaps Miami’s most famous historical landmark, Freedom Tower (located at 600 Biscayne Boulevard). It is a great place to expose your kids to the Cuban heritage that is so much a part of life in Miami. Then you will visit Miami’s Little Havana, and since it’s probably getting close to lunch time, drive yourself to Versailles Restaurant(3555 Southwest 8th Street) in the heart of Little Havana. Then take some time to simply walk the streets and take in the music, the art and the personality of the people and their neighborhood before returning to your car. On your way back to the hotel, visit the Miami Science Museum, where there are complete science and natural history museums. Or you may visit the Miami Seaquarium (水族馆).Though there are many such theme parks more modern and in better shape than this 1955 pioneer, it’s still worth a visit for their dolphin, sea lion and killer whale shows. Kids can also get face to face with the endangered manatee(海牛)or watch specialists feeding 200-pound sharks. 21. Bayside Marketplace is a market for . A. children only B. parents only C. all tourists D. fossil collectors - 8 - 22. What do we know about Little Havana? A. It is a restaurant in Miami. B. It is an area of Miami. C. It is the name of a famous person. D. It is the name of a street in Miami. 23. What can be inferred about the Miami Seaquarium? A. It is the earliest seaquarium in Miami. B. It is the largest seaquarium in Miami. C. It is better equipped than any other seaquarium. D. It has more visitors than any other seaquarium. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。无论你是在孩子们的春假、暑假还是寒假期间旅行，你会发现迈阿密一年 四季都是家庭出游的好地方，文章主要介绍了迈阿密一些适合孩子们去游玩的地方。 【21 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中 Start your day at Bayside Marketplace. There are plenty of shops and souvenir stands here for all members of the family.可知从 Bayside 市场开 始你的一天。这里有许多商店和纪念品摊，供所有家庭成员使用。由此可知，Bayside 市场是 一个面向所有游客的市场。故选 C。 【22 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中 Then you will visit Miami’s Little Havana, and since it’s probably getting close to lunch time, drive yourself to Versailles Restaurant(3555 Southwest 8th Street) in the heart of Little Havana.可知然后你将参观迈阿密的 Little Havana，由于可能快到午餐时间了，你可以自己开车去 Little Havana 市中心的凡尔赛餐厅 （第 8 街西南 3555 号）。由此可知，Little Havana 是迈阿密的一个地区。故选 B。 【23 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Though there are many such theme parks more modern and in better shape than this 1955 pioneer, it’s still worth a visit for their dolphin, sea lion and killer whale shows.可知虽然有许多这样的主题公园比这座 1955 年的先锋公 园更现代、更美观，但那里的海豚、海狮和虎鲸表演还是值得一看的。由此可推知，Miami Seaquarium 是迈阿密最早的海洋馆。故选 A。 B - 9 - They call it the “rule of 150”. An anthropologist(人类学家)called Robin Dunbar made a study of 21 different primitive societies. He found that they all lived in villages of around 150 people. Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 150 people. Many of us have left village life behind. But the idea of the village has not left us. Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient. There are just too many people around to communicate with effectively. It also seems that when our personal “villages” become too small, people feel lonely. We need other people to help us. Many people see life as a kind of journey. As they travel they pick up things they need. These are friends, a family and jobs. This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does not explain why people who get good jobs and become rich are often unhappy. Using the “rule of 150”, we can see things differently. Instead of being a lonely traveler, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the “economic development of your village. But you also need to pay attention to the social harmony of your village. Many people think that happiness is about winning a race. The winner gets a great job, a perfect family and a lot of money. The loser should expect to be unhappy. The “rule of 150” teaches us that happiness comes with getting the right balance of relationship in our lives. In a competitive society it is easy to judge people according to the kind of job they have or how much money they make. In fact, we are all the boss of our own villages. This is a difficult job. It is worthy of your respect. 24. What does the figure “150” relate to? A. The size of a group. B. The number of groups. C. The amount of work. D. The number of primitive societies. 25. What is the author’s opinion about “seeing life as a kind of journey”? - 10 - A. It only refers to rich people. B. It doesn’t include village life. C. It can’t cover all possibilities in life. D. It may bring about unhappiness. 26. What do you do as the head of your own village? A. Take a long journey with the other villagers. B. Compete against others to achieve happiness. C. Use the “rule of 150” to improve the village life. D. Deal properly with the people and things around you. 27. What is the “rule of 150” discussed in the text mainly about? A. The journey of life. B. Relationship in one’s life. C. The way to look at things. D. The competitive society. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“150 法则”，这个法则是出于对企业和军队的研究表明， 当人们被强迫进入 150 人以上的群体时，他们的效率就会降低。周围有太多的人，无法有效 沟通。当我们个人的“村庄”变得太小时，人们似乎感到孤独。我们需要别人的帮助。使用 “150 法则”，我们可以看到不同的事情。“150 法则”告诉我们，在生活中正确平衡人际关 系，幸福就会随之而来。 【24 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段 They call it the “rule of 150”. An anthropologist(人类学 家)called Robin Dunbar made a study of 21 different primitive societies. He found that they all lived in villages of around 150 people. Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 150 people. Many of us have left village life behind. But the idea of the village has not left us.可知他们称之为“150 法则”。人类学家 Robin Dunbar 研究了 21 个不同的原始社会。他发现他们都住在人口约 150 人的村庄里。然后， 他让住在现代城市的人们列出一张表，上面列有所有他们很熟悉、可以交谈的人。他们每人 列出了一份大约 150 人的名单。我们许多人已经离开了乡村生活。但是村庄的概念并没有离 开我们。由此可知，数字“150”与一个群体的大小有关。故选 A。 【25 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中 This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does not explain - 11 - why people who get good jobs and become rich are often unhappy.可知这是一种狭隘的 看待事物的方式。这并不能解释为什么那些找到好工作并变得富有的人往往不快乐。由此可 知，对于“视人生为一种旅程”，作者认为它不能涵盖生活中的所有可能性。故选 C。 【26 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中 Instead of being a lonely traveler, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the “economic development of your village. But you also need to pay attention to the social harmony of your village.可知你不是一个孤独的旅行者，你是 你自己村庄的领袖。你要对乡村生活的方方面面负责。找到一份好工作有助于你所在村庄的 经济发展。但你也需要注意你所在村庄的社会和谐。由此可推知，作为村长，你应该正确处 理你周围的人和事。故选 D。 【27 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient. There are just too many people around to communicate with effectively. It also seems that when our personal “villages” become too small, people feel lonely. We need other people to help us.可知其他对企业和军队的研究表明，当人们被强迫进入 150 人以上的群体时，他们 的效率就会降低。周围有太多的人，无法有效沟通。当我们个人的“村庄”变得太小时，人 们似乎感到孤独。我们需要别人的帮助。以及倒数第二段中 The “rule of 150” teaches us that happiness comes with getting the right balance of relationship in our lives. 可知“150 法则”告诉我们，在生活中正确平衡人际关系，幸福就会随之而来。由此可推知， 文章中讨论的“150 规则”主要是关于生活中的关系的。故选 B。 C Scientists can’t predict earthquakes. But toads(蟾蜍)might be able to. In the spring of 2010, Rachel Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in central Italy. Common toads reproduce once a year, sometimes traveling great distances to gather at their breeding(繁 殖)grounds, and Grant was looking at whether her subjects were using the cycles of the moon to coordinate their romantic encounters. In the previous three years, she had watched the toads increase in number when - 12 - the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. “It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six, and then to one, and then zero,” says Grant. “I was at a loss. Did somebody come and disturb them? Did somebody run through with a tractor? But that didn’t seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesn’t make them run away,” she says. Five days after the toads disappeared, she had a possible answer: an earthquake struck in the middle of the night. The 6. 3-magnitude quake was the deadliest to hit Italy in nearly 30 years, killing roughly 300 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Grant stayed to count her toads in spite of the aftershocks. When a full moon rose three days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining low until two days after the last aftershock-a full 10 days after the first quake. “It’s never been reported to have happened before,” says Grant. “Once they’re breeding, then they’re breeding. That’s it. “ The question now, says Grant, is whether seismologists(地震学家)can do anything with her research to try to predict the next big one. “A lot of people are asking, “Can we use them as a kind of monitoring tool, keep one at home and watch to see if they run away? “ says Grant. “That’s obviously not going to work. “ But she’s hoping something might. 28. What was Grant’s main purpose in going to the large dry lake in Italy? A. To use toads to predict earthquakes. B. To study toads during an earthquake. C. To check the number of toads there. D. To study toads’ breeding activities. 29. What was unusual about the toads before the earthquake? A. Their number increased when a new moon rose. B. Their number increased when the moon became full. C. They disappeared just before the moon became full. - 13 - D. They disappeared when a new moon rose. 30. What does Grant really mean by stating “I was at a loss”？ A. She felt sorry for the toads. B. She felt puzzled at what she saw. C. She felt fearful about the earthquake. D. She felt sad about what somebody had done. 31. When did the number of toads begin to increase after the earthquake? A. When the moon began to rise. B. After the aftershocks stopped. C. Two days after the earthquake. D. Three days after the moon became full. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。科学家无法预测地震，但蟾蜍也许可以。2010 年，生命科学研究员 Rachel Grant 在意大利中部一个大的干涸湖泊中研究蟾蜍的种群时发现，蟾蜍会在地震快要到来时消 失，且一直会持续到余震停止之后数量才会开始增加。Grant 说现在的问题是，地震学家能否 利用她的研究来预测下一场大地震。她希望有这是有可能的。 【28 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中 In the spring of 2010, Rachel Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in central Italy. 可知 2010 年春天，生命科学研究员 Rachel Grant 在意大利中部一个大的干涸湖泊中研究蟾 蜍的种群。由此可知，Grant 去意大利那个干涸的大湖的主要目的是研究蟾蜍的繁殖活动。故 选 D。 【29 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段 In the previous three years, she had watched the toads increase in number when the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. “It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six, and then to one, and then zero,” says Grant.可知在过去 的三年里，她观察到了月亮从初升到满月时蟾蜍的数量在增加。但那一年不一样。快月圆时， 蟾蜍突然不见了。Grant 说：“蟾蜍数量从 90 只到 100 只减少到 6 只，然后减少到 1 只，再 到 0 只。”由此可知，地震前蟾蜍的不寻常之处是，他们在月圆之前消失了。故选 C。 【30 题详解】 - 14 - 句意猜测题。根据第四段中 Did somebody come and disturb them? Did somebody run through with a tractor? But that didn’t seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesn’t make them run away,” she says.可知“有人来打扰他们了吗？有人开 拖拉机穿过吗？但这似乎不对。蟾蜍总是会被汽车碾过，但这并不会让它们逃跑，”她说。 由此可推知，Grant 所说的“I was at a loss”的意思是她对所看到的蟾蜍消失的现象，感 到迷惑不解。故选 B。 【31 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 When a full moon rose three days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining low until two days after the last aftershock-a full 10 days after the first quake.可知当地震三 天后满月升起时，一些蟾蜍冒险返回。但随后它们的数量再次下降，直到最后一次余震的两 天之后，也就是第一次地震整整 10 天之后，它们的数量仍然很低。由此可推知，地震后蟾蜍 的数量是余震停止后开始增加的。故选 B。 D A raised eyebrow, a puzzled look or a nod of the head are just a few of the facial expressions computers could soon be using to read people’s minds. An emotionally aware” computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings. “The system we have developed allows a wide range of mental states to be identified just by pointing a video camera at someone, “ said Professor Peter Robinson of the University of Cambridge. He believes the mind-reading computer’s applications could range from improving people’s driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people’s moods(心情). “Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods,” he added. The researchers, who are developing the technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, also hope to get it to accept other inputs such - 15 - as posture(姿势)and gesture. “Our research could enable Web sites to tailor advertising or products to your mood,” said Robinson. “For example, a Webcam(网络摄相机) linked with our software could process your image, encode the correct emotional state and send information to a Web site.” It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired. “We are working with a car company, and they believe this will be employed in cars within five years,” Robinson said, adding that a camera could be built into the dashboard(仪表板). 32. Why is the computer described as “emotionally aware”? A. It can store your thoughts. B. It can express its feelings. C. It thinks the same way as you. D. It knows what you are feeling. 33. Which word can best replace the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 4? A. Suit. B. Turn. C. Devote. D. Reduce. 34. What is the purpose of the camera to be built into the dashboard of a car? A. To identify the driver’s mental state. B. To help the driver learn driving skills. C. To send traffic information to a Web site. D. To record the driver’s facial movements. 35. In introducing the mind-reading computer, the text focuses on . A. its development B. its designers C. its applications D. its working process 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国和美国科学家正在开发一种能够感知情感的电脑，这 种电脑将能够通过分析一个人的面部表情组合来解读他的想法，开发的系统可以通过将摄像 机对准某人来识别多种心理状态。文章着重介绍了这种电脑可以应用的领域，如提高驾驶技 能和根据情绪定制广告推销产品等。 - 16 - 【32 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 An emotionally aware” computer being developed by British and American scientists will be able to read an individuals thoughts by analyzing a combination of facial movements that represent underlying feelings.可知英国和美国 科学家正在开发一种能够感知情感的电脑，这种电脑将能够通过分析一个人的面部表情组合 来解读他的想法。由此可知，计算机被描述为“情感感知”，是因为它知道你的感受。故选 D。 【33 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“Imagine a computer that could pick the right emotional moment to try to sell you something, a future where mobile phones, cars and Web sites could read our mind and react to our moods,” he added.(他补充说：“想象一下，一台电脑 能够挑选出你正确的情绪并向你推销某样东西，在未来，手机、汽车和网站都能够读懂我们 的思想，并对我们的情绪做出反应。”)以及划线词后文 advertising to people’s moods(心 情).可知这种能读心术的电脑可以帮助公司制定适合人们情绪的广告。由此可知，划线单词 意思为“适合”。A. Suit.适合；B. Turn.转弯；C. Devote.奉献；D. Reduce.减少。故选 A。 【34 题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中 It could also be useful in online teaching to show whether someone understands what is being explained and in improving road safety by determining if a driver is confused, bored or tired.可知它还可以用于在线教学，以 显示某人是否理解所解释的内容，并通过判断司机是否感到困惑、无聊或疲劳，来提高道路 安全。由此可知，安装在汽车仪表盘上的照相机的目的是确定司机的精神状态。故选 A。 【35 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 He believes the mind-reading computer’s applications could range from improving people’s driving skills to helping companies tailor advertising to people’s moods(心情).可知他认为，这种能读心术的电脑的应用范围可以从提高人们的 驾驶技能到帮助公司根据人们的情绪定制广告。以及后文提到的能读心术的电脑还可以应用 于提高道路安全，由此可知，在介绍读心计算机时，着重介绍了它的应用。故选 C。 第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12. 5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两 项为多余选 项。 Year-round Schooling - 17 - Traditional schools in America operate on a 9-month system, but today many people prefer year-round schooling. Students in year-round schools attend school the same number of days as students in traditional nine-month schools. ___36___ Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vacation, the students have several short breaks between sessions all through the year. Another difference is the track. Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. ___37___ The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time. ___38___ ___39___For example, with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1,000. This lets school districts with little or no money for building new schools handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs.

B 【解析】 - 18 - 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了全年制教育，介绍了其与九个月制的区别，以及全年制教 育的缺点和优点。 【36 题详解】 根据上文 Students in year-round schools attend school the same number of days as students in traditional nine-month schools.可知全年制学校的学生与传统的 9 个月制学 校的学生上课的天数相同。根据后文 Instead of the traditional nine months of school and a long, three-month summer vacation, the students have several short breaks between sessions all through the year.可知与传统的 9 个月的在校学习和 3 个月长的暑假不同， 学生们在一年中有几次短暂的休息。由此可知，上文提到了全年制和九个月制的共同点，那 么本句应当是说明全年制与九个月制的不同之处。故 D 选项“全年制学校的不同之处在于时 间安排的不同”符合语境，故选 D。 【37 题详解】 根据上文 Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. 可知与单轨学校不同的是，多轨学校让不同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学，而不是整个学 校使用相同的时间表和相同的假期。由此可知，本句承接上文说明结果，多轨学校因为让不 同的学生在不同的时间和假期上学，所以结果就是总有一群学生在放假。故 A 选项“因此总 会有一群学生在放假”符合语境，故选 A。 【38 题详解】 根据上文 The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time.可知全年制教育的主要优点是，它提供了持续的学习， 而这种学习可能会因为长假期而失去，因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间。由此可知，本 句承接上文继续说明全年制教育的优点，因为学生不会离开学校很长一段时间，所以学生们 遗忘的知识会更少。故 G 选项“因此，在较短的休息时间里，学生们忘记的东西更少”符合 语境，故选 G。 【39 题详解】 根据后文 For example, with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1,000. This lets school districts - 19 - with little or no money for building new schools handle a growing student population and save millions of dollars in construction costs.可知例如，如果一群学生总是在放 假，一所原本可容纳 750 名学生的学校就可以容纳多达 1000 名学生。这样一来，那些几乎没 有钱或根本没有钱建新学校的学区就可以应付不断增长的学生人数，并节省数百万美元的建 筑成本。由此可知，本段主要说明的是全年教育经常被选择作为削减成本的措施。故 E 选项 “此外，全年教育经常被选择作为削减成本的措施”符合语境，故选 E。 【40 题详解】 根据上文 Disadvantages include the inconvenience to families with children in both traditional and year-round schools.(缺点包括对有孩子在传统学校和全年制学校上学的 家庭的不便)以及后文 And some people say it interferes with activities that take place outside school-including summer employment.(有些人说它会干扰校外活动，包括暑期打 工)由此可知，本句与上下文构成并列关系，都是在说明全年制学校的缺点。故 B 选项“例如， 它使制定假期计划变得困难”符合语境，故选 B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Born in the United States, I, with black hair and yellow skin, am an American.

I always carry at least $ 10 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the first person who asks if I can “spare some change. Smiling at the person, I always respond very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to.” or “It would be my pleasure. “ And I give them the money. Then I replace it with my next $ 10 for the next person. I never spend this money myself. I think that it is the possession of the next person who asks for it. Ten dollars is a small amount, yet it means a lot to the person who expects it, especially when delivered with joy and respect to them. I also have taken to carrying things in my car, such as hats, socks, gloves and umbrellas, just in case someone needs them. Recently I put together some care packages for the homeless. It occurred to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, - 27 - combs, as well as food and bottled water would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are non - breakable, so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who received them were delighted. But I feel it’s not just that I give them things that matters. I always remember it is they who bless me with an opportunity to be kind.

Luckily, a woman, overhearing my problem, offered to pay my bill. I was so thankful and asked for her phone number so that I could pay back the money. “Don’t pay it back. Pay it forward,” the woman replied with a smile. That was when I decided to do something nice for whoever needs help. Interestingly enough, I often get something in return from the person I help. The other day, a young lady to whom I gave some change, asked if I could use a spare pair of gloves she had. So I accepted them for the next person who needs them. I was touched to see she wanted to give me something. In fact, she gave me more. She gave - 28 - me a feeling of happiness that only those who are happy to show kindness to others can understand. 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇读后续写作文。 【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要为作者分享自己经常做的一件善事，它给了作者 莫大的快乐。作者总是在车里和口袋里至少带 10 美元，会把它留给第一个问“能不能给点零 钱”的人。对着别人微笑，作者总是非常愉快地回答说：“是的，我很乐意。”或者“这是 我的荣幸。”然后我给他们钱。作者还习惯在车里放一些东西，比如帽子、袜子、手套和雨 伞，以防有人需要。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当我从一位女士那里得到类似的帮助时，我产生了用这 种方式帮助别人的想法。所以后文应该是讲述让作者有了这种善举的原因是，作者从一个女 士那里得到了类似的帮助，记叙故事发生的经过；第二段开头是：有趣的是，我经常从我帮 助的人那里得到一些回报。本段应该写作者是如何从自己帮助的人那里得到回报的。 最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：grocery store，pay for， ask for，in fact 等高级词汇；One day, I was shopping at a grocery store and when I went to pay for my groceries I discovered my wallet was gone.运用时间状语从句；She gave me a feeling of happiness that only those who are happy to show kindness to others can understand.运用定语从句等高级句式。 - 29 -
