A
Marathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running. They are not only attractive for top athletes, but also for hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you’ll be tempted (诱惑) to run holding a camera.
Ultra-trail Angkor Cambodia
The newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32-km, 64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.
Dodo Trail, Mauritius
Crossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.
Great Ocean Road marathon, Australia
Another well-known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia’s Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two. Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.
Big Five marathon, South Africa
Marathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members – African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos – as organizers try to guarantee sightings.
1. Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners
A. Ultra-trail Angkor.
B. Dodo Trail.
C. Great Ocean Road marathon.
D. Big Five marathon.
2. Why does the writer mention “neck-ache” in Great Ocean Road marathon
A. To highlight the wonderful scenery.
B. To present the difficulty ofthe event.
C. To attract attention to physical health.
D. To warn runners ofdangerous animals.
3. What do the four marathons have in common
A. Risky and tiring routes.
B. Beautiful coastal views.
C. Chances to see wild animals.
D. Fixed time for annual events.
B
I used to procrastinate (keep leaving things that should be done until later). Years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window of our house. We were a family of six living on a small salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday. However, the frame was rusted shut. I couldn’t fix it.
Over the years, I’d sometimes get estimates from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. $15, 000. It was simply out of reach. One contractor explained that whoever replaced it would need to cut and shape by hand, a labor-intensive and expensive process.
Honestly, the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, every time I went to the hardware store, it kept troubling me. I knew I needed to address it, but I had built up the process (and the price) so much in my mind that I was unable to act.
Then my wife had a job change, and we needed to move. A potential buyer couldn’t get a loan on the property if there was a broken window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing head-on. It had been at least 5 years.
I grabbed some rust remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a strong pull. To my astonishment, it moved for the first time. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a $12 fix.
I could have fixed the problem for $12 the same day it happened. But I let it haunt me for years, shutting out light and letting in bugs. It didn’t need to be the most efficient. It just needed to be a window.
OK, this isn’t really about my window. I mean the story is true, but it’s also a decent fable. Many of us, especially those with anxiety, tend to live with broken windows of one type or another for years.
After I posted my story online, many shared their stories with me. One commented, “This reminded me of a statement, ‘We suffer more in imagination than in reality.’” Another responded, “This is why my business partner tells me, ‘Perfect is the enemy of done.’”
Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.
By Nathan Howe
4. Why did the author delay fixing the broken window for years
A. He developed a tolerant attitude.
B. He was convinced that the window was beyond repair.
C. He thought there was no harm if leaving the window broken.
D. He believed the whole process to be troublesome and expensive.
5. What does the author mean by “the thought of that window ate at me” in Paragraph 3
A. It frightened me terribly. B. It puzzled me deeply.
C. It motivated me slightly. D. It worried me continuously.
6. What finally led to the author’s determination to deal with the window
A. His wife’s job switching.
B. The super effective rust remover.
C. The obstacle to getting the house sold.
D. The window’s letting in bugs but not light.
7. Which of the following advice is the author unlikely to share online
A. You don’t have to fix it all now; just start by starting.
B. Make a list of the things you are putting off and start with the hardest.
C. Doing the thing is often less painful than thinking about doing the thing.
D. An imperfect solution now is better than a perfect one that will never happen.
C
On January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, China, the world’s biggest gaming market, announced new rules limiting children to just a single hour of play a day. Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit.
Are games really addictive Psychologists have different opinions. The case for the defence is that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’ n’ roll, jazz, comic books, and even novels. As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring (忍受) its own time before it finally stops being controversial.
However, some argue that unlike rock bands or novelists, games developers have both the motive and the means to engineer their products to make them addictive. For one thing, the business-model has changed. In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to developers’ income. For another, games makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses (诊断) become more common. Clinics are already reporting booming business, as lockdowns have given gamers more time to spend with their hobby. And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do the industry any favours.
8. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To arouse the readers’ interest about the topic.
B. To inform the readers of the harmful effects of games.
C. To discuss whether it is necessary to panic about games.
D. To show growing public concern about the problem of games.
9. Why is television, together with other media forms, mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To prove that the panic over games will fade away.
B. To show that they are as highly addictive as games.
C. To compare the differences among these media forms.
D. To argue that these media forms are not harmful at all.
10. How do games developers make games addictive
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They adjust products based on received data.
C. They reward top players with more playtime.
D. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
11. In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.
A. offer a suggestion B. make a prediction
C. give a warning D. put forward a solution
D
Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up (引起注意) genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are so similar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.
Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.
Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25~50 percent.
“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!
Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7, 000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.
12. How did the researchers find the genes linked to eye problems
A. By comparing the DNA of the mice with that of the humans
B. By studying the data of mice’s genes
C. By carrying out the treatment of genetic diseases
D. By making calculations
13. Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To show the significance of studying mice’s genes. B. To prove mice’s genes are similar to humans’
C. To warn the high risk level of suffering them. D. To explain how common they are among people.
14. What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness
A. Compare humans’ genes with mice’s. B. Cooperate with eye care centers.
C. Set apart a gene of a mouse each time. D. Figure out each gene’s function of a mouse.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. New Ways to Cure Sight Loss B. Genes Found Behind Eye Problems
C. Genetic Diseases Discovered in Mice D. Humans Genes Causing Eye Diseases

续写的词数应为150左右。
The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi mumbled,‘Sorry, teacher,’ and scuttled (快步疾走) to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles quickly faded away. Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi' slate arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name in unison (一起) just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Mohi must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Hamed peered in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Hamed left quietly.
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。
Paragraph 1 When Teacher's Day came around, Hamed had a plan.

I used to procrastinate (keep leaving things that should be done until later). Years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window of our house. We were a family of six living on a small salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday. However, the frame was rusted shut. I couldn’t fix it.
Over the years, I’d sometimes get estimates from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. $15, 000. It was simply out of reach. One contractor explained that whoever replaced it would need to cut and shape by hand, a labor-intensive and expensive process.
Honestly, the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, every time I went to the hardware store, it kept troubling me. I knew I needed to address it, but I had built up the process (and the price) so much in my mind that I was unable to act.
Then my wife had a job change, and we needed to move. A potential buyer couldn’t get a loan on the property if there was a broken window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing head-on. It had been at least 5 years.
I grabbed some rust remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a strong pull. To my astonishment, it moved for the first time. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a $12 fix.
I could have fixed the problem for $12 the same day it happened. But I let it haunt me for years, shutting out light and letting in bugs. It didn’t need to be the most efficient. It just needed to be a window.
OK, this isn’t really about my window. I mean the story is true, but it’s also a decent fable. Many of us, especially those with anxiety, tend to live with broken windows of one type or another for years.
After I posted my story online, many shared their stories with me. One commented, “This reminded me of a statement, ‘We suffer more in imagination than in reality.’” Another responded, “This is why my business partner tells me, ‘Perfect is the enemy of done.’”
Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.
By Nathan Howe

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要介绍的是作者本可以在家里窗户发生问题的当天花12美元修好，但是却一直拖延，让这个问题困扰自己很多年，作者觉得事情发生时，应该勇敢向前，解决问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Over the years, I’d sometimes get estimates from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house. $15,000. It was simply out of reach. One contractor explained that whoever replaced it would need to cut and shape by hand, a labor-intensive and expensive process.(这些年来，我有时会从橱窗公司得到一些估算。计划是将整栋房子的窗户升级为节能窗户。15000美元。费用太高了。一位承包商解释说，无论是谁来替换它，都需要手工切割和定型，这是一个劳动密集型和昂贵的过程。)”可知，作者多年来迟迟没有修好那扇破窗户是因为他认为整个过程既麻烦又昂贵。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Every time I went down there, every time I went to the hardware store, it kept troubling me.(每次我去那里，每次我去五金店，它一直困扰着我。)”可知，这个问题一直让作者担心，因此“the thought of that window ate at me”的意思是“It worried me continuously(它一直让我担心)”，故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“Then my wife had a job change, and we needed to move. A potential buyer couldn’t get a loan on the property if there was a broken window.(后来我妻子换了工作，我们需要搬家。如果房子的窗户破了，潜在买家就无法获得贷款。)”可知，最终让作者下定决心处理窗户的原因是这个窗户成了把房子卖出去的障碍。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段的“It didn’t need to be the most efficient. It just needed to be a window.(它不需要是最高效的。它只是需要一扇窗。)”可知，A项“You don’t have to fix it all now; just start by starting.(你不需要现在就去解决所有的问题，只需要从头开始。)”可能是作者在网上会分享的建议，根据最后一段的“Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.(向前一步，你会找到解决办法的。)可知，作者认为不要总是想，要去做，因此C项“Doing the thing is often less painful than thinking about doing the thing.(做这件事通常没有想做这件事那么痛苦。)”可能是作者在网上会分享的建议，根据倒数第二段的“After I posted my story online, many shared their stories with me. One commented, “This reminded me of a statement, ‘We suffer more in imagination than in reality.’” Another responded, “This is why my business partner tells me, ‘Perfect is the enemy of done.’”(在我把我的故事发布到网上后，许多人与我分享了他们的故事。有人评论说:“这让我想起了一句话，‘我们在想象中承受的痛苦比在现实中承受的要多。’”另一位回答说，“这就是为什么我的商业伙伴告诉我，‘完美是完成的敌人。’”)”可知，D项“An imperfect solution now is better than a perfect one that will never happen.(一个不完美的解决方案总比一个永远不会发生的完美方案要好。)”可能是作者在网上会分享的建议，因此作者不太可能在网上分享的建议是B选项“Make a list of the things you are putting off and start with the hardest.(列出你正在拖延的事情，从最难的开始。)”。故选B。
C
On January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, China, the world’s biggest gaming market, announced new rules limiting children to just a single hour of play a day. Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit.
Are games really addictive Psychologists have different opinions. The case for the defence is that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’ n’ roll, jazz, comic books, and even novels. As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring (忍受) its own time before it finally stops being controversial.
However, some argue that unlike rock bands or novelists, games developers have both the motive and the means to engineer their products to make them addictive. For one thing, the business-model has changed. In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to developers’ income. For another, games makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games.
The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses (诊断) become more common. Clinics are already reporting booming business, as lockdowns have given gamers more time to spend with their hobby. And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do the industry any favours.
8. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To arouse the readers’ interest about the topic.
B. To inform the readers of the harmful effects of games.
C. To discuss whether it is necessary to panic about games.
D. To show growing public concern about the problem of games.
9. Why is television, together with other media forms, mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To prove that the panic over games will fade away.
B. To show that they are as highly addictive as games.
C. To compare the differences among these media forms.
D. To argue that these media forms are not harmful at all.
10. How do games developers make games addictive
A. They don’t charge players for in-game goods.
B. They adjust products based on received data.
C. They reward top players with more playtime.
D. They keep players’ video game machines updated.
11. In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.
A. offer a suggestion B. make a prediction
C. give a warning D. put forward a solution
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。“游戏障碍”被世界卫生组织列为疾病。不同心理学家就游戏是否真的让人上瘾这一问题展开讨论。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“On January 1st, 2018, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World ealth Organization (WHO). (2018年1月1日，世界卫生组织认证了“游戏障碍”——它指的是人们不受控制地玩游戏，尽管会造成伤害)”和“Clinics are appearing around the world, promising to cure patients of their habit. (世界各地都出现了承诺治愈患者习惯的诊所，)”可知，“游戏障碍”已经被官方列为疾病，甚至于出现了很多诊所来治疗此问题。这些现象都说明了大众对游戏问题越来越关注。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“The case for the defence is that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’ n’ roll, jazz, comic books, and even novels. (辩方认为这仅仅是另一种道德恐慌，电视、摇滚乐、爵士乐、漫画书甚至小说也发出了类似的警告)”可知，辩方认为游戏上瘾和电视、摇滚乐等其它都只是道德恐慌。结合段尾“As the newest form of mass media, gaming is merely enduring (忍受) its own time before it finally stops being controversial. (作为一种新型的大众媒体，游戏在它最终停止争议之前，只是在经历它自己的时代)”可推断出，引用电视等其它媒体形式目的是为了强调游戏并没有那么恐慌，它和其它媒体方式一样，都有自己存在的时间，最终这种恐慌会消失。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. That allows products to be constantly adjusted to increase spending on games. (智能手机和现代电子游戏机利用自身永久性的互联网连接将游戏数据传回开发者。这可以让产品能够不断调整来增加游戏支出)”可之，游戏开发者是通过接收到的数据不断调整产品，让产品越来越受吸引欢迎。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. (游戏行业应该意识到在现实世界中，游戏存在一个问题，而且这个问题还在不断恶化)”和“And being put together in the public mind, fairly or not, with gambling will not do the industry any favours. (而在大众心中，无论公平与否，与赌博放在一起都不会给游戏行业带来任何好处)”可知，作者对游戏呈负面态度，是在给游戏行业提出警告，大众不会认同和赌博挂钩的行业。故选C。
D
Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up (引起注意) genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are so similar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.
Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.
Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25~50 percent.
“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!
Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7, 000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.
12. How did the researchers find the genes linked to eye problems
A. By comparing the DNA of the mice with that of the humans
B. By studying the data of mice’s genes
C. By carrying out the treatment of genetic diseases
D. By making calculations
13. Why is the percentage of genetic eye problems mentioned in paragraph 3
A To show the significance of studying mice’s genes. B. To prove mice’s genes are similar to humans’
C. To warn the high risk level of suffering them. D. To explain how common they are among people.
14. What should scientists do first to unlock secrets of genetic blindness
A. Compare humans’ genes with mice’s. B. Cooperate with eye care centers.
C. Set apart a gene of a mouse each time. D. Figure out each gene’s function of a mouse.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. New Ways to Cure Sight Loss B. Genes Found Behind Eye Problems
C. Genetic Diseases Discovered in Mice D. Humans Genes Causing Eye Diseases
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。加州大学戴维斯分校的科学家们研究了小鼠遗传物质数据库中的信息。他们发现347个基因与眼睛问题有关，其中只有86个基因在过去被研究过。目前的科学只能解释人类遗传性眼病的50%到75%。研究人员认为，在老鼠身上发现的数百种新基因可能是解释这一现象的关键。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up (引起注意) genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. (研究人员对300只老鼠的DNA进行了研究，首次发现了与遗传性视力丧失有关的基因)”可知，通过研究老鼠的基因数据，研究人员发现了与眼睛问题有关的基因。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。第三段最后一句“The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.(研究人员认为，在老鼠身上发现的这数百个新基因可能是解释这一问题的关键，从而能够治疗另外25% ~ 50%的疾病。)”可知，即第三段提到遗传性眼睛问题的百分比是为了展示研究老鼠基因的重要性。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段第二句“To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time.(科学家们一次将一个基因从其他基因中分离出来，然后观察它在很长一段时间内对老鼠有什么影响。)”可知，为了解开基因失明的秘密，科学家首先应该每次从老鼠身上分离出一个基因。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段“Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up (引起注意) genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. (研究人员对300只老鼠的DNA进行了研究，首次发现了与遗传性视力丧失有关的基因)”可知，科学家发现小白鼠身上发现的数百种新基因可能是解释人类遗传性眼部疾病的关键。故选B。

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。
The whole class burst out laughing as Mohi rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red striped pajama top underneath, and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green sandals that were two sizes too big. The physics teacher's hand froze in the middle of writing a formula on the blackboard.
Mohi mumbled,‘Sorry, teacher,’ and scuttled (快步疾走) to his seat. Mr. Tan glared at the rest of the students. The chuckles quickly faded away. Mohi's classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by Mohi' slate arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing. That day, it was the pajama top and green sandals.
Mohi lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would yell his name in unison (一起) just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Mohi was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Hamed, who sat next to Mohi, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Mohi did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Hamed decided to walk over to Mohi's house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Mohi must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Hamed let himself in. He called Mohi's name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Hamed peered in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Mohi was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly. He played flawlessly (完美无瑕地), so much so that it sounded like a recording. Hamed left quietly.
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。
Paragraph 1 When Teacher's Day came around, Hamed had a plan.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Teacher's Day came around, Hamed had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. Hamed convinced the class to let Mohi perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school's clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. Jaws dropped.
As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause. After the performance, shy and silent as Mohi was, he gave Hamed a big hug. Love may be silent, but it was always there. Since then, Mohi and Hamed have been best friends. With the encouragement of Hamed, Mohi has pursued his dream of being a musician. Not only do friends keep us company but also help us to be a better self.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了笨拙且不修边幅的Mohi一直是同学们的笑料，但好友Hamed发现了Mohi的小提琴天赋，在Hamed的举荐下，Mohi在教师节音乐会上进行了表演，Mohi得到了同学们的认可并成了轰动一时的名人。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当教师节来临的时候，哈默德有了一个计划。”可知，第一段可描写Hamed说服全班同学让Mohi表演，Mohi的表演惊艳四座。
②由第二段首句内容“最后一个音符结束时，大家进行了片刻的沉默”可知，第二段可描写表演结束后Mohi得到了大家的掌声并和Hamed成为好朋友。
2.续写线索：贡献节目——Hamed说服同学让Mohi表演——老师和同学感到惊讶——大家为Mohi鼓掌——Mohi给Hamed一个拥抱——在Hamed的鼓励下，Mohi追求梦想
3.词汇激活：
①行为类
贡献：contribute/devote
说服：convince/persuade
给……一个拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb.
追求：pursue/go in for
②情绪类
惊讶的：surprised/astonished
害羞的：shy/bashful
【点睛】[高分句型1]When he started to play, the audience fell silent.（when引导时间状语从句）
[高分句型2]Not only do friends keep us company but also help us to be a better self.（not only置于句首，使用部分倒装）
