第二部分 阅读理解(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，从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和 D)中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Warrumbungle National Park
Travel six hours northwest of Sydney, and you’ve reached the astronomy capital of Australia. Warrumbungle National Park is a nature and star-lover’s dream. This land is home to the Southern Hemisphere’s first Dark Sky Park, which means you’ll be treated to nights of no light pollution and out of this world stargazing. Besides, the Warrumbungles has several adventurous hikes. The Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk is considered one of the best in Australia!
Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park
Ku-Ring-Gai Chase is the second oldest national park in Australia. We love this park for its proximity (邻近) to Sydney (a quick 45-minute drive from the city), significant Aboriginal (澳大利亚土著的) sites and breathtaking scenic views. There are many walks you can do here. You can also go kayaking (皮划艇), stopping at some of the secluded beaches that line the park.
Bouddi National Park
Located on the Central Coast Bouddi National Park is one for beautiful landscapes and beaches. Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Bouddi is a hidden treasure. The beautiful water makes this park an ideal destination during summer, but it also provides a fantastic point for whale watching over the winter. You can experience Bouddi National Park on a day trip. Pack your picnic goods and head on the 8.5 km (one-way) Bouddi Coastal Walk — it’ll give you a perfect taste of the best of what the park has to offer!
Dorrigo National Park
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dorrigo National Park is one to explore! Located just shy of four hours from Byron Bay, the park is part of the Gondwana Rainforests and has been made over millions of years. You’d be right then to expect some of the most stunning waterfalls here. For one of the best experiences, head to the Skywalk lookout. This elevated walkway will take you right into the heart of the rainforest, providing soaring views 21 meters over the rainforest all the way to the coast.
1. If you were a fan of stargazing and hiking, which park would interest you most
A. Bouddi National Park. B. Dorrigo National Park.
C. Warrumbungle National Park. D. Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park.
2. What can you enjoy at Bouddi National Park
A. Going kayaking. B. Watching whales.
C. Visiting Aboriginal sites. D. Seeing breathtaking waterfalls.
3. What do you know about Dorrigo National Park
A. It is the oldest national park in Australia. B. It offers a perfect view of the Gondwana Rainforests.
C. It’s about four hours drive from Sydney. D. It’s known for adventurous hikes along the coast.
B
I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.

People’s first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives—a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.
However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can demonstrate that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.
But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.
One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.
Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face—they start to form some sense of self.
Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form narratives about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus (海马体), which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.
Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors may contribute to infantile amnesia.
8. What can infants do in their first few months
A. Memorize most of their family members.
B. Distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces.
C. Remember a string of events from the recent past.
D. Identify their own reflections in the mirror.
9. What do infants tend to do after 18 months, according to the rouge test
A. See their reflections as themselves.
B. Ignore the marks on their faces.
C. Enjoy playing with their reflections.
D. Show a strong interest in the mirror.
10. What could be a cause of infantile amnesia, according to the text
A. Infants’ inability to recall memories.
B. Infants’ immature hippocampus.
C. Infants’ undeveloped communication skills.
D. Infants’ unsteady autobiographical memories.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When do babies start remembering things
B. Why is it hard to retrieve lost memories
C. How do kids form their first memories
D. Why can’t we remember being a baby
D
Three years after “eating” a star, a black hole has been seen “vomiting (呕吐)”.
According to a paper published in October in the Astrophysical Journal, scientists from Harvard University claimed that in 2018, a small star was torn to dust and swallowed by a black hole named AT2018hyz in a galaxy (星系) 665 million light-years away from Earth.
Then, the same black hole becomes active again. However, it hasn’t swallowed anything new; it has been seen ejecting (喷射) material at half the speed of light.
“This caught us completely by surprise — no one has ever seen anything like this before” said Yvette Cendes, astronomer and the leading author of the new study, in a press release in the US.
Black holes use their gravitational pull (引力) to draw matter into a small space with a force so strong that not even light can escape. They are usually formed by the collapsing pieces of large dying stars and can consume anything that comes too close.
When a black hole swallows a star, some pieces may be thrown back into space – astronomers tend to call black holes messy eaters, according to the US Center for Astrophysics. The whole event is called a tidal disruption event (TDE).
However, a TDE usually happens immediately after the swallow, not three years later as was the case with black hole AT2018hyz. Cendes posted on social media that the event was like “burping” after a meal.
The team made assumptions about the possible reasons behind the event. According to their paper, scientists first turned to the density theory. If the density is very high around the black hole, the matter might be drawn out, causing an ejection. Another thought was that the other TDEs were in directions that could not be observed from Earth. However, scientists have yet to determine the true reason.
“The next step is to explore whether this actually happens more regularly and we have simply not been looking at TDEs late enough in their evolution,” Edo Berger, co-author of the study, told the Harvard Gazette.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A black hole ejected something new. B. A black hole swallowed a faraway star.
C. A black hole vomited years after eating. D. A dead black hole became active again.
13. What do we know about black holes
A. They are unable to consume light. B. They take up a large amount of space.
C. They are a mix of countless dying stars. D. They result from the collapse of large stars.
14. What does the second-to-last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Supporting evidence for the research result. B. Potential applications of the scientific finding.
C. Reasonable doubts about the research process. D. Possible explanations of the scientific discovery.
15 Which aspect of TDEs will scientists plan to research
A. Their origins. B. Their effects.
C. Their frequency. D. Their development.

When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining ” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff ” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.

I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.
Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me.
I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.
If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.
Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.
But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.
Now as retirement approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another — or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.
As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.

C
People’s first memories are all autobiographical (自传式的), or memories of significant experiences in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen before the age of 2 or 3. In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives—a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.
However, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can form other kinds of memories. Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can demonstrate that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.
But if so, why do people experience infantile amnesia Though it still isn’t clear whether it’s because we can’t form autobiographical memories, or whether we just have no way to retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.
One is that autobiographical memories require you to have some sense of self. Researchers have tested this ability using a mirror recognition task called the rouge test. It involves marking a baby’s nose with a spot of red lipstick.
Researchers then place the infant in front of a mirror. Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face. Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face—they start to form some sense of self.
Another possible explanation is that because infants don’t have language until later in the second year of life, they can’t form narratives about their own lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippocampus (海马体), which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period.
Scientists will continue to investigate how these factors may contribute to infantile amnesia.
8. What can infants do in their first few months
A. Memorize most of their family members.
B. Distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces.
C. Remember a string of events from the recent past.
D. Identify their own reflections in the mirror.
9. What do infants tend to do after 18 months, according to the rouge test
A. See their reflections as themselves.
B. Ignore the marks on their faces.
C. Enjoy playing with their reflections.
D. Show a strong interest in the mirror.
10. What could be a cause of infantile amnesia, according to the text
A. Infants’ inability to recall memories.
B. Infants’ immature hippocampus.
C. Infants’ undeveloped communication skills.
D. Infants’ unsteady autobiographical memories.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. When do babies start remembering things
B. Why is it hard to retrieve lost memories
C. How do kids form their first memories
D. Why can’t we remember being a baby
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了婴儿期的遗忘现象，即婴儿时期的记忆称为“婴儿遗忘症”，并列举了几种可能的解释，包括自我意识的发展、语言的缺乏以及海马体的未完全发育等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Within the first few days of life, infants can recall their own mother’s face and distinguish it from the face of a stranger. A few months later, infants can demonstrate that they remember lots of familiar faces by smiling most at the ones they see most often.(在生命的最初几天里，婴儿可以回忆起自己母亲的脸，并将其与陌生人的脸区分开来。几个月后，婴儿可以通过对他们最常看到的面孔微笑来证明他们记得很多熟悉的面孔)”可知，在出生的前几个月里，婴儿可以辨别熟悉和不熟悉的面孔。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Infants younger than 18 months just smile at the baby in the reflection, not showing any evidence of recognizing themselves or the red mark on their face.( 18个月以下的婴儿只是对着镜子中的婴儿微笑，没有任何迹象表明他们认识自己或脸上的红色标记。)”以及“ Between 18 and 24 months, infants touch their own nose, even looking embarrassed, suggesting that they connect the red dot in the mirror with their own face—they start to form some sense of self.(在18到24个月之间，婴儿摸自己的鼻子，甚至看起来很尴尬，这表明他们把镜子里的红点和自己的脸联系在一起——他们开始形成某种自我意识。)”可知，在实验测试期间，18个月之后的婴儿会触摸自己的鼻子，甚至感到尴尬，表明他们将镜子中的红点与自己的脸联系起来，开始形成一定的自我意识，即认出了自己。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Finally, the hippocampus (海马体), which is the region of the brain that’s largely responsible for memory, isn’t fully developed in the infancy period. (最后，海马体，大脑中主要负责记忆的区域，在婴儿时期并没有完全发育。)”可知，“婴儿遗忘症”的一个可能原因是婴儿的海马体不成熟。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In fact, most people can’t remember things from the first few years of their lives—a phenomenon researchers have called infantile amnesia.(事实上，大多数人都不记得生命最初几年的事情——研究人员将这种现象称为婴儿健忘症。)”以及通读全文，文章介绍了婴儿期的遗忘现象，并列举了几种可能的解释，包括自我意识的发展、语言的缺乏以及海马体的未完全发育等。D选项“Why can’t we remember being a baby ( 为什么我们不记得自己是婴儿？)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章的标题，故选D。
D
Three years after “eating” a star, a black hole has been seen “vomiting (呕吐)”.
According to a paper published in October in the Astrophysical Journal, scientists from Harvard University claimed that in 2018, a small star was torn to dust and swallowed by a black hole named AT2018hyz in a galaxy (星系) 665 million light-years away from Earth.
Then, the same black hole becomes active again. However, it hasn’t swallowed anything new; it has been seen ejecting (喷射) material at half the speed of light.
“This caught us completely by surprise — no one has ever seen anything like this before,” said Yvette Cendes, astronomer and the leading author of the new study, in a press release in the US.
Black holes use their gravitational pull (引力) to draw matter into a small space with a force so strong that not even light can escape. They are usually formed by the collapsing pieces of large dying stars and can consume anything that comes too close.
When a black hole swallows a star, some pieces may be thrown back into space – astronomers tend to call black holes messy eaters, according to the US Center for Astrophysics. The whole event is called a tidal disruption event (TDE).
However, a TDE usually happens immediately after the swallow, not three years later as was the case with black hole AT2018hyz. Cendes posted on social media that the event was like “burping” after a meal.
The team made assumptions about the possible reasons behind the event. According to their paper, scientists first turned to the density theory. If the density is very high around the black hole, the matter might be drawn out, causing an ejection. Another thought was that the other TDEs were in directions that could not be observed from Earth. However, scientists have yet to determine the true reason.
“The next step is to explore whether this actually happens more regularly and we have simply not been looking at TDEs late enough in their evolution,” Edo Berger, co-author of the study, told the Harvard Gazette.
12. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. A black hole ejected something new. B. A black hole swallowed a faraway star.
C. A black hole vomited years after eating. D. A dead black hole became active again.
13. What do we know about black holes
A. They are unable to consume light. B. They take up a large amount of space.
C. They are a mix of countless dying stars. D. They result from the collapse of large stars.
14. What does the second-to-last paragraph mainly talk about
A. Supporting evidence for the research result. B. Potential applications of the scientific finding.
C. Reasonable doubts about the research process. D. Possible explanations of the scientific discovery.
15. Which aspect of TDEs will scientists plan to research
A. Their origins. B. Their effects.
C. Their frequency. D. Their development.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在“吃掉”一颗恒星三年后，一个黑洞被看到“呕吐”。科学家们对此感到惊讶，他们还在探索事件的真正原因。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Three years after “eating” a star, a black hole has been seen “vomiting (呕吐)”.(在“吃掉”一颗恒星三年后，一个黑洞被看到“呕吐”)”以及第三段“However, it hasn’t swallowed anything new; it has been seen ejecting (喷射) material at half the speed of light.(然而，它并没有吞下任何新的东西；人们已经看到它以光速的一半喷射出物质)”可知，人们以前从没有见过黑洞三年前吞噬掉一颗恒星并在最近开始喷射物质。故this指“黑洞三年前吞噬掉一颗恒星并在最近开始喷射物质”。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“They are usually formed by the collapsing pieces of large dying stars and can consume anything that comes too close.(它们通常是由大型垂死恒星的坍缩碎片形成的，可以吞噬任何靠得太近的东西)”可知，黑洞通常是由巨大的垂死恒星形成。故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The team made assumptions about the possible reasons behind the event. According to their paper, scientists first turned to the density theory. If the density is very high around the black hole, the matter might be drawn out, causing an ejection. Another thought was that the other TDEs were in directions that could not be observed from Earth. However, scientists have yet to determine the true reason.(研究小组对这一事件背后的可能原因做出了假设。根据他们的论文，科学家们首先求助于密度理论。如果黑洞周围的密度非常高，物质可能会被拉出，导致抛射。另一种想法是，其他TDEs方向无法从地球上观测到。然而，科学家们还没有确定真正的原因)”可知，倒数第二段主要介绍了关于黑洞的科学发现的一系列解释。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The next step is to explore whether this actually happens more regularly and we have simply not been looking at TDEs late enough in their evolution(下一步是探索这种情况是否真的更有规律地发生，我们只是在TDE的演变中太晚关注到它们)”可知，接下来科学家计划研究TDE的频率。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了尼泊尔巴桑塔普尔宫在经历地震七年后终于恢复了原貌。
【36题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：站在尼泊尔巴桑塔普尔宫的顶层，袁梦曦很难将今天的现实与她七年前看到的联系起来。这里为宾语从句的引导词，宾语从句中缺少宾语，表示物，用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这座宫殿建筑群位于该国首都加德满都杜巴广场中心，在2015年4月的一次大地震中遭到严重破坏。修饰单数可数名词，表示泛指，用不定冠词。massive首字母的发音为辅音音素，故填a。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：这座宫殿不仅具有伟大的历史意义，而且也是一项建筑功绩。形容词historical修饰名词，作has的宾语，significant的名词形式为significance。故填significance。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：“从这里你可以看到整个地方，一切都很漂亮，井然有序，”33岁的袁说，她来自中国中部河南省省会郑州。固定搭配：in order，意为“井然有序”。故填in。
【40题详解】
考查副词。教育：她目前在北京的中国文化遗产研究院工作，负责一个被派去重建故宫的团队。空处作状语，修饰整个句子，应用副词形式。故填currently。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她目前在北京的中国文化遗产研究院工作，负责一个被派去重建故宫的团队。结合语意，空处为非谓语动词作目的状语，用动词不定式形式。故填to rebuild。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：2015 年 10 月，即该市地震发生六个月后，她第一次前往加德满都出差。根据句中made可知，主句使用一般过去时描述过去的动作，shake作after引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词，且发生在她前往加德满都之前，为“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。故填had shaken。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她说，当时看到地震后的这座城市，她很震惊。这里为非谓语动词担当状语，和逻辑主语she之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填seeing。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：杜巴广场的遗产建筑被毁，木制雕像被埋在地下，散布在广阔的区域。这里为本句谓语动词，根据上文可知，地震发生在7年前，时态为一般过去时；主语为heritage buildings，复数，和动词destroy之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态，be动词使用were。故填were destroyed。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：地震发生后，中国和尼泊尔政府同意启动一个旨在修复九层楼高的巴桑塔普尔宫的项目。be intended for，意为“旨在……”，作后置定语时，去掉be动词，使用过去分词形式即可。故填intended。

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。
When things went wrong, Ittleby Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby comforted him by saying it would still taste good. And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy, but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said that he would do better next time. And, sure enough, David studied hard and got 100 percent the next week. When his teacher, Mr D, bumped into a bookstand in the library, Ittleby told him not to worry as Mrs Bog wouldn’t be upset. He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone, that is, except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him. “I doubt it.” Ittleby didn’t know what to do. He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When Mr D said they’d have recess inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “A silver lining ” Hazel shook her head. “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff ” Ittleby felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. Outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,” said Hazel. No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She tripped, and the paint went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Ittleby’s painting. “It’s beautiful. I especially like the grassland.” She said.

“Want to add one ” Ittleby asked Hazel.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
She picked it up not realizing she had paint on her fingers. The fingerprint lay quietly on the painting, seeming to support Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things. Hazel pointed, “Ittleby’s picture is messed up! There’s number three.” Upset, Emma apologized to Ittleby with her face blushing with shame. Ittleby comforted her with a pat on the shoulder and stared at the print for a while. Suddenly, with his eyes lit up, he dipped his finger into the yellow paint and added two more prints onto the painting. Now, together with Emma’s, they looked like three colorful butterflies flying above the green grassland.
“Want to add one ” Ittleby asked Hazel. Hazel thought about it. “It will be fun.” Ittleby encouraged her. “How strange!”, thought Hazel, hesitantly dipped her finger into the print. Gently pressing it onto Ittleby’s painting, she carefully added wings. “It looks great,” said Ittleby. Outside, the sky happened to clear up, casting golden bright light on the field of butterflies. Looking into each other’s eyes, Hazel and Ittleby laughed together merrily. Ittleby said to Hazel, “Forget your Rule of Three Bad Things. Although bad things happen, good things happen, too. And sometimes, there were good things hiding where they didn’t expect them.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ittleby总能说些好听的话，他看到了光明的一面，每个人都喜欢他这一点，除了Hazel。Hazel似乎对三件坏事的规则深信不疑。这天美术课Emma来看Ittleby的画，结果颜料弄到了画上，而Ittleby通过自己的智慧顺利化解了这一情况。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她捡了起来，没有意识到手指上有颜料。”可知，第一段可描写Emma把颜料弄到画上，Hazel说这是第三件坏事。
②由第二段首句内容“‘想再加一个吗？’Ittleby问Hazel。”可知，第二段可描写Ittleby告诉Hazel虽然坏事时有发生，但好事也会发生。有时候，好东西就藏在他们意想不到的地方。
2.续写线索：颜料毁画——印证Hazel的理论——Ittleby想到办法——邀请Hazel作画——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
思考：think about/ reflect on
