When I grow up
In kindergarten, my class was asked to draw pictures, showing what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our drawings were expected to display our dream occupations. I remember pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping across the moon.
My picture showed a figure with brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter. Underneath was my handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe (刷) orange juice across the scanner.” Out of everything, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.
When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same questions twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence.
Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. However, not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer with certainty. But I don’t consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40
When I think about the future I definitely don’t see myself working at Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy”.
Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or two and try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.
4. What did the author want to be when he was in kindergarten
A. An astronaut. B. A firefighter. C. A dancer. D. A cashier.
5. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. kindergartners are able to display their dream jobs with confidence
B. kindergartners have limited imagination of their dream occupations
C. teenagers are supposed to be clear about what they want to be
D. teenagers stick to the path they chose when they were young
6. The author would probably agree that _____.
A. the principle of growth lies in human choice
B. happiness is the meaning of existence
C. it is never too late to correct mistakes
D. your future depends on your dreams
7. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Different stages of life. B. Career guidance.
C. The real goal of life. D. Career paths.
C
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick．But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer．
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming．Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year．But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past．
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult ． To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud．Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery ． There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes．Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样)．So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change．
8. How do scientists study the past climate change
A. By predicting the climate change in the future．
B. By drilling down deep into land sediments．
C By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon．
D. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud．
9. What is needed for drilling down into lake sediments
A. The latest helicopter． B. The special equipment．
C. The light machinery． D. The narrow path．
10. What is the purpose of writing the passage
A. To attract more people’s attention to CO2．
B. To call on people to protect rainforests．
C. To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests．
D. To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests．
11. The best title for the text may be_______．
A. Mystery of the Rainforest B. Climates of the Amazon
C. The History of the Rainforest D. Changes of the Rainforest
D
The Mystery of Why Sunflowers Turn to Follow the Sun — Solved
Scientists have answered a burning question central to sunflowers: Why do young flowers always face the sun over the course of a day
And also: Once sunflowers become full-grown, why do they stop tracking the sun and only face east
In a newly-published article, researchers claim that a young plant’s sun-tracking (also called heliotropism) can be explained by circadian rhythms — the behavioural changes tied to an internal clock that humans also have, which generally follows a 24-hour cycle.
“Growth rates on the east side were high during the day and very low at night, whereas growth rates on the west side were low during the day and higher at night,” the journal article says.
The researchers tied plants up so they couldn’t move or turned them away from the sun — and they found those flowers eventually had “fewer organic materials and less leaf area” than flowers that could move with the sun.
Full-grown sunflowers respond differently to the sun. According to the article, “As overall growth slows down, the circadian clock ensures that the plant reacts more strongly to light early in the morning than in the afternoon or evening, so it gradually stops moving westward during the day.”
The researchers compared full-grown flowers facing east with those they turned to face west, and found that east-facing flowers attracted five times as many helpful pollinators. That’s because the east-facing flowers heat up faster and bees like warm flowers.
“Just like people, plants depend on the daily rhythms of day and night to function,” Anne Sylvester, director of the National Science Foundation’s Plant Genome (基因组). Research Programme said in a press release. “Sunflowers, like solar panels, follow the sun from east to west. These researchers explore information in the sunflower genome to understand how and why sunflowers track the sun.”
UC Berkeley professor and co-author of the study, Benjamin Blackman, believes that the connection between circadian rhythms and growth could be applicable to other researches. “The more general point, that one of the circadian clock’s adaptive functions is to regulate the timing and strength of growth responses to environmental signals, is one that I think will apply to a broad range of qualities and species.” he said.
12. What did the researchers discover when they tied the sunflowers up ________
A. They still tracked and faced towards the sun.
B. They grew faster during the daytime than they did at night.
C. Their growth rates were lower than those of flowers facing the sun.
D. The growth rates on the west side were higher than those on the east.
13. Why do sunflowers move westward less when they are fully-grown _______
A. Because they will not be affected by light anymore.
B. Because they would stop growing up if they faced west.
C. Because they are not active at all during afternoons or evenings.
D. Because they are more sensitive to light in the early morning from the east.
14. What may the underlined word “pollinators” (Para.7) refer to _______
A. Bees. B. Plants. C. Energy. D. Researchers.
15. What is the possible direction of future study, according to Benjamin Blackman _______
A. Exploring information in the sunflower genome.
B. Comparing human’s circadian rhythms with sunflowers’.
C. Comparing full-grown flowers facing east with those facing west.
D. Exploring how circadian rhythms affect the growth of other species.

Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy.
However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around.’’ His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children stared to laugh when she found a stone bracelet (手镯) with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Thompson, her voice choked up with tears, thanked her students for their presents.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Twenty years later, Teddy invited Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding as groom’s (新郎) mother.

When I grow up
In kindergarten, my class was asked to draw pictures, showing what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our drawings were expected to display our dream occupations. I remember pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze, and astronauts leaping across the moon.
My picture showed a figure with brown hair holding a box of orange juice beside a counter. Underneath was my handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe (刷) orange juice across the scanner.” Out of everything, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.
When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same questions twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence.
Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. However, not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer with certainty. But I don’t consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40
When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself working at Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy”.
Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or two and try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.
4. What did the author want to be when he was in kindergarten
A. An astronaut. B. A firefighter. C. A dancer. D. A cashier.
5. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. kindergartners are able to display their dream jobs with confidence
B. kindergartners have limited imagination of their dream occupations
C. teenagers are supposed to be clear about what they want to be
D. teenagers stick to the path they chose when they were young
6. The author would probably agree that _____.
A. the principle of growth lies in human choice
B. happiness is the meaning of existence
C. it is never too late to correct mistakes
D. your future depends on your dreams
7. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Different stages of life. B. Career guidance.
C. The real goal of life. D. Career paths.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick．But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer．
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming．Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year．But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past．
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult ． To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud．Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery ． There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes．Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled (未取样)．So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change．
8. How do scientists study the past climate change
A. By predicting the climate change in the future．
B. By drilling down deep into land sediments．
C. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon．
D. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud．
9. What is needed for drilling down into lake sediments
A. The latest helicopter． B. The special equipment．
C. The light machinery． D. The narrow path．
10. What is the purpose of writing the passage
A. To attract more people’s attention to CO2．
B. To call on people to protect rainforests．
C. To inform people of how scientists work on rainforests．
D. To warn people to stay away from the danger of rainforests．
11. The best title for the text may be_______．
A. Mystery of the Rainforest B. Climates of the Amazon
C. The History of the Rainforest D. Changes of the Rainforest
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A

The Mystery of Why Sunflowers Turn to Follow the Sun — Solved
Scientists have answered a burning question central to sunflowers: Why do young flowers always face the sun over the course of a day
And also: Once sunflowers become full-grown, why do they stop tracking the sun and only face east
In a newly-published article, researchers claim that a young plant’s sun-tracking (also called heliotropism) can be explained by circadian rhythms — the behavioural changes tied to an internal clock that humans also have, which generally follows a 24-hour cycle.
“Growth rates on the east side were high during the day and very low at night, whereas growth rates on the west side were low during the day and higher at night,” the journal article says.
The researchers tied plants up so they couldn’t move or turned them away from the sun — and they found those flowers eventually had “fewer organic materials and less leaf area” than flowers that could move with the sun.
Full-grown sunflowers respond differently to the sun. According to the article, “As overall growth slows down, the circadian clock ensures that the plant reacts more strongly to light early in the morning than in the afternoon or evening, so it gradually stops moving westward during the day.”
The researchers compared full-grown flowers facing east with those they turned to face west, and found that east-facing flowers attracted five times as many helpful pollinators. That’s because the east-facing flowers heat up faster and bees like warm flowers.
“Just like people, plants depend on the daily rhythms of day and night to function,” Anne Sylvester, director of the National Science Foundation’s Plant Genome (基因组). Research Programme said in a press release. “Sunflowers, like solar panels, follow the sun from east to west. These researchers explore information in the sunflower genome to understand how and why sunflowers track the sun.”
UC Berkeley professor and co-author of the study, Benjamin Blackman, believes that the connection between circadian rhythms and growth could be applicable to other researches. “The more general point, that one of the circadian clock’s adaptive functions is to regulate the timing and strength of growth responses to environmental signals, is one that I think will apply to a broad range of qualities and species.” he said.
12. What did the researchers discover when they tied the sunflowers up ________
A. They still tracked and faced towards the sun.
B. They grew faster during the daytime than they did at night.
C. Their growth rates were lower than those of flowers facing the sun.
D. The growth rates on the west side were higher than those on the east.
13. Why do sunflowers move westward less when they are fully-grown _______
A. Because they will not be affected by light anymore.
B. Because they would stop growing up if they faced west.
C. Because they are not active at all during afternoons or evenings.
D. Because they are more sensitive to light in the early morning from the east.
14. What may the underlined word “pollinators” (Para.7) refer to _______
A. Bees. B. Plants. C. Energy. D. Researchers.
15. What is the possible direction of future study, according to Benjamin Blackman _______
A. Exploring information in the sunflower genome.
B. Comparing human’s circadian rhythms with sunflowers’.
C. Comparing full-grown flowers facing east with those facing west.
D. Exploring how circadian rhythms affect the growth of other species.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述向日葵为什么转向追随太阳的迷解开了。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The researchers tied plants up so they couldn’t move or turned them away from the sun — and they found those flowers eventually had “fewer organic materials and less leaf area” than flowers that could move with the sun.(研究人员把向日葵捆起来，这样它们就不能移动或让它们远离阳光——他们发现，这些向日葵最终比那些能随阳光移动的向日葵“有机物质更少，叶面积更小”。)”可知当研究人员把向日葵捆起来时，比起那些能随阳光移动的向日葵，它们“有机物质更少，叶面积更小”，说明它们的生长速度低于面向太阳的向日葵。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“As overall growth slows down, he circadian clock ensures that the plant reacts more strongly to light early in the morning than in the afternoon or evening, so it gradually stops moving westward during the day.(随着整体生长速度减慢，昼夜节律钟确保植物在清晨对光的反应比下午或晚上更强烈，因此它在白天逐渐停止向西移动)”可知，向日葵在完全成熟时向西移动的次数较少，是因为它们对清晨来自东方的光线更敏感。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第七段“That’s because the east-facing flowers heat up faster and bees like warm flowers.(那是因为朝东的花升温更快，蜜蜂喜欢温暖的花)”说明朝东的花朵吸引了五倍多的有益蜜蜂，划线词可指代“Bees (蜜蜂)”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“UC Berkeley professor and co-author of the study, Benjamin Blackman, believes that the connection between circadian rhythms and growth could be applicable to other researches.(加州大学伯克利分校教授、该研究的合著者本杰明·布莱克曼认为，昼夜节律与生长之间的联系可以应用于其他研究)”和“The more general point, that one of the circadian clock’s adaptive functions is to regulate the timing and strength of growth responses to environmental signals, is one that I think will apply to a broad range of qualities and species(更一般的一点是，昼夜节律钟的适应性功能之一是调节生长对环境信号反应的时间和强度，我认为这将适用于广泛的品质和物种)”说明未来研究的方向是探索昼夜节律如何影响其他物种的生长。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility (或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性 )”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗 )”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了鄱阳湖水上公路的奇妙景致。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国南方，有一条横跨鄱阳湖的著名公路，它位于江西省的北部，被称为中国的第二大湖。空处作后置定语修饰a famous road，且build和road之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。故填built。
2. 考查形容词最高级。句意：在中国南方，有一条横跨鄱阳湖的著名公路，它位于江西省的北部，被称为中国的第二大湖。根据空前的China’s second可知，此处表示“中国第二大的”，应用形容词最高级形式。故填largest。

5. 考查定语从句。句意：湖水的水位非常接近道路的表面，这使得人们开车时前方的景色变得广阔而明亮。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。
6. 考查词性转换。句意：这种感觉是简直太美妙了！此处修饰形容词wonderful，应用simple的副词形式，表示“（强调某说法）确实，简直”。故填simply。
7. 考查并列连词。句意：在接下来的几个月里，这条路不是在水面之上，而是在水下。此处表示“接下来的几个月，这条路并不在水上，而是在水下”，此处是not... but...“不是……而是……”结构。故填but。
8. 考查介词。句意：然而，司机们仍然可以通过观察安装在路两边的护栏来安全地驾车穿越湖泊。此处表示驾驶者通过看路旁的防撞护栏可以安全驶过鄱阳湖。应用介词by表示方式。故填by。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意：对于寻求刺激的驾驶者来说，这就像驾驶一辆两栖超级跑车。此处like为介词，介词后跟动名词形式作宾语。故填driving。

Our Oceans, Our Responsibility
June 8th was officially named by the UN in 2009 as World Ocean Day. It’s a day to stress the importance of the ocean and remind people to protect it.
It’s generally acknowledged that the ocean plays an important role in many aspects. First of all, with rich biological resources, the ocean provides samples for biological science research in terms of the diversity of global biological resources. In addition, the abundant food resources and energy make it possible for living things to survive better. Equally importantly, the abundant water resources bear the operation of the global water circulation system, which can affect or even determine the global climate change. So many benefits does ocean bring to human beings that great importance can’t be attached enough to protect it.
Of course, it’s everybody’s duty to shoulder this responsibility. For one thing, it’s a good idea to widely study knowledge concerning the ocean and think of effective approaches to protect it. For another, let’s stop our bad behaviors which may indirectly pollute the ocean. Small things can make a big difference. I believe, with our joint efforts, a truly beautiful ocean will always surround us.
三
Our Oceans, Our Responsibility
Nowadays, it is quite common that oceans are being badly polluted. To have a better life on the earth, we human beings should well protect our oceans for the following reasons.
What comes first is that oceans are where life started and contain abundant species which means a lot to biodiversity on the earth. Besides, it’s oceans that offer us various resources, such as food, energy and so on, ensuring sustainable development of human beings. What’s more, oceans have a great impact on world climate because they can take in heat from the sun.
From what’s mentioned above, protecting oceans becomes urgent. So let’s take action immediately and protect oceans for the sake of us!

第二节 读后续写（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，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. She paid no attention to Teddy.
However, when she read his file, she was in surprise. Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around.’’ His second grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates. But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.” His third grade teacher wrote, “His mother’s death has been hard on him. He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.” Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote, “Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school. He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons, except for Teddy’s. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children stared to laugh when she found a stone bracelet (手镯) with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Thompson, her voice choked up with tears, thanked her students for their presents.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Twenty years later, Teddy invited Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding as groom’s (新郎) mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Thompson, her voice choked up with tears, thanked her students for their presents. And then she showed how she liked Teddy’s presents, putting the bracelet on, and using some of the perfume on her wrist. From then on, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded and he showed much interest in study. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later, Teddy invited Mrs. Thompson to attend his wedding as groom’s mother. She used the bracelet and the perfume which were the present of that year. At the wedding ceremony, she met the man with good manners. He said to her, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson. Today you smelled just like my mom used to.” Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back. She said, “Teddy, you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I’m so proud that today I can be your mother!”
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事情节的发展为线索展开，讲述了Mrs. Thompson在开学的第一天看到一个名叫Teddy Stoddard的小男孩，但是没有关注这个小男孩，在阅读了他的档案信息后，Mrs. Thompson知道了Teddy从一年级的聪明、爱笑且懂礼貌到现在的性格孤僻、对学习没有兴趣且朋友不多，经常睡觉，所有的这些变化都是由于他的家庭变化造成的，Mrs. Thompson决定要为Teddy做些什么，在圣诞节学生们给老师送的礼物中，Teddy的礼物引起老师和同学们的注意，甚至有些孩子还笑了。
