阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
National parks like Yellowstone are popular destinations for both family vacations and adventure trips alike. But there are some places that simply don’t get the love that they deserve despite the fact that they are truly impressive.
Isle Royale National Park
Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. Wildlife like wolves are frequently spotted by hikers along the park’s scenic trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Another island park, the Dry Tortugas can be found 68 miles to the southwest of the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. At the center of the park is Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry(砖石)structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. Remote and mostly undeveloped, this is a park that demands more from its visitors, after all there are just two roads that lead into it. But in return, it gives them a special connection with nature that simply isn’t found anywhere else.
Big Bend National Park
Travelers looking for a truly wild experience should have Big Bend National Park on their bucket lists. Big Bend is well known for its whitewater rafting camping, and hiking although during the summer months it can be intensely warm, keeping many visitors away.
1. What is the main reason for fewer visitors to Isle Royale National Park
A. The terrible work. B. The dangerous wolves.
C. The remote location. D. The inconvenient transport.
2. Which park will you visit if you are interested in history
A. Big Bend National Park. B. Isle Royale National Park.
C. Dry Tortugas National Park. D. Wrangell St. Elias National Park.
3. How is Wrangell-St. Elias National Park different from the other three parks
A. With its wide roads. B. With its large area.
C. With its beautiful scenery. D. With its special visitors
B
I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph
A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others.
5. What does the author avoid doing in his work
A. Stating the plays’ central ideas. B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C. Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights.
6. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays
A. Control their feelings. B. Apply their acting skills.
C. Use their imagination. D. Keep their audience in mind.
7. What is this text
A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book.
C. A play review. D. An advertisement for a theater.
C
In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view.
New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker.
Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.
Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments.
Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.
“The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.”
8. What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean
A. separated. B. disabled. C. demanded. D. protected.
9. What does the loss of visible stars lead to
A. Poorer human health. B. Fewer wildlife species.
C. More delicate biological systems. D. Less nightly culture elements of the sky.
10. What does the author stress in paragraph 5
A. Crowd sourced data are invaluable B. Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect.
C. Satellites play a vital role. D. White LEDs are widely used.
11. What can be inferred from Walker’s words
A. Their consistent efforts pay off. B. The dataset needs to be updated.
C. The sky glow has been over-emphasized. D. More participants are expected to join in.
D
The average bear, it seems, is getting over smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count too.
Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws (爪子).
As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears’ distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.
Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.
It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.
12 What task did the scientists set for the three bears
A. Distinguishing different dot patterns. B. Figuring out different colours of dots.
C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups. D. Picking out the group with a larger number of acts.
13. For the bears, the task was easier when ______.
A. the coloured dots were moving slowly B. the dot patterns were regular in shape
C. the dots followed a path on the screen D. more dots covered a larger coloured area
14. Why do the bears have high degree or intelligence
A. They have to survive by themselves. B. They learn skills from other friends.
C. They feed on a diverse range of food. D. They have complex social networks.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours B. Three Bears Learned How to Count
C. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found D. The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.____16____But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.
●Get eight hours of sleep.
“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.____17____
●____18____
Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”
●Avoid polluted air.
Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.____19____Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.
●Eat breakfast.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.____20____If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.
A. Be social and outgoing.
B. Engage in voluntary work.
C. There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.
D. These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health.
E. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.
G. Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people with other health risks.

My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings and me only once. Instead，she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner ” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”
No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding, her mother tried stopped Susie’s tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonald’s.” Susie stopped yelling and smiling she grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone ”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Paragraph l:
By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几个游客很少游览，但是确实令人印象深刻的国家公园。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Isle Royale National Park部分中的“Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. (皇家岛位于苏必利尔湖的中心地带，需要花费一些功夫才能到达，但这是值得的。只能通过每日渡轮进入，这就是为什么像黄石公园这样的大型公园一天接待的游客数量比皇家岛一年接待的游客数量还要多)”可知，皇家岛国家公园（Isle Royale National Park）游客较少的主要原因是交通不方便。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Dry Tortugas National Park部分中的“Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. (这个公园只能乘船或飞机到达，实际上很小，但它充满了历史、丰富的海洋生物和令人惊叹的珊瑚礁)”可知，如果你对历史感兴趣，你会去Dry Tortugas National Park，故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Wrangell-St. Elias National Park部分中的“Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. (兰格尔—圣埃利亚斯国家公园占地超过 1320 万英亩，是整个美国系统中最大的国家公园)”可知，Wrangell-St. Elias国家公园与其他三个公园不同之处在于：它是最大的国家公园，故选B。

I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph
A. He has written dozens of plays. B. He has a deep love for the theater.
C. He is a professional stage actor. D. He likes reading short plays to others.
5. What does the author avoid doing in his work

C. Including various types of plays. D. Offering information on the playwrights.
6. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays

In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night. Unfortunately, growing light pollution has impeded people from the nightly view.
New citizen-science-based research throws alarming light on the problem of “sky glow”-the diffuse illumination (漫射照明) of the night sky that is a form of light pollution. The data came from crowd-sourced observations collected from around the world as part of Globe at Night, a program developed by astronomer Connie Walker.
Light pollution has harmful effects on the practice of astronomy but also on human health and wildlife, since it disturbs the cycle from sunlight to starlight that biological systems have evolved alongside. Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.
Globe at Night has been gathering data on star visibility since 2006. Anyone can submit observations through the Globe at Night web application. Participants record which one best matches what they can see in the sky without any telescopes or other instruments.
Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.
“The increase in sky glow over the past decade underlines the importance of redoubling our efforts and developing new strategies to protect dark skies,” said Walker. “The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky.”
8. What does the underlined word “impeded” in the first paragraph mean
A. separated. B. disabled. C. demanded. D. protected.
9. What does the loss of visible stars lead to
A. Poorer human health. B. Fewer wildlife species.
C. More delicate biological systems. D. Less nightly culture elements of the sky.
10. What does the author stress in paragraph 5
A. Crowd sourced data are invaluable B. Shorter wavelengths are hard to detect.
C. Satellites play a vital role. D. White LEDs are widely used.
11. What can be inferred from Walker’s words
A. Their consistent efforts pay off. B. The dataset needs to be updated.
C. The sky glow has been over-emphasized. D. More participants are expected to join in.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“In the endless sky, the unaided human eye should be able to perceive several thousand stars on a clear, dark night.(在一望无际的天空中，在一个晴朗、黑暗的夜晚，人类的肉眼应该能够看到几千颗星星)”以及划线词上文“Unfortunately, growing light pollution has”可知，人类的肉眼本来可以看到几千颗星星，不幸的是，日益严重的光污染却使人们不能欣赏夜景。故划线词意思是“使……不能”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Furthermore, the loss of visible stars is a great loss of human cultural heritage. Until relatively recently, humans throughout history had an impressive view of the starry night sky, and the effect of this nighty spectacle (壮观) is evident in ancient cultures.(此外，可见星星的损失是人类文化遗产的巨大损失。直到最近，历史上的人类都能看到令人印象深刻的星空，这种夜间奇观的影响在古代文化中很明显)”可知，可见星星的缺失会导致较少的夜间天空文化元素。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Researchers find that the loss of visible stars indicates an increase in sky brightness of 9.6% per year while roughly 2% is measured by satellites. Existing satellites are not well suited to measuring sky glow as it appears to humans, because they can not detect wavelengths shorter than 500 nanometers (纳米). White LEDs, with shorter wavelengths under 500 nanometers, now are increasingly commonly used in outdoor lighting. But human eyes are more sensitive to these shorter wavelengths at nighttime. Space-based instruments do not measure light from windows, either. But these sources are significant contributors to sky glow us seen from the ground.(研究人员发现，可见恒星的消失表明天空亮度每年增加9.6%，而卫星测量的亮度大约为2%。现有的卫星不太适合测量人类看到的天光，因为它们不能探测到短于500纳米的波长。白光led波长较短，在500纳米以下，现在越来越多地用于户外照明。但人类的眼睛在夜间对这些较短的波长更敏感。天基仪器也不能测量窗户发出的光。但这些光源是我们从地面上看到的天光的重要贡献者)”可推知，作者在第五段中强调了众包数据是无价的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Globe at Night dataset is necessary in our ongoing evaluation of changes in sky glow, and we encourage whoever can to get involved to help protect the starry night sky. (全球夜间数据集对于我们持续评估天空辉光的变化是必要的，我们鼓励任何可以参与的人来帮助保护星空)”可推断，Walker期望会有更多的参与者加入。故选D。
D
The average bear, it seems, is getting over smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count too.
Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws (爪子).
As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears’ distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.
Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.
It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.
12. What task did the scientists set for the three bears
A. Distinguishing different dot patterns. B. Figuring out different colours of dots.
C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups. D. Picking out the group with a larger number of acts.
13. For the bears, the task was easier when ______.
A. the coloured dots were moving slowly B. the dot patterns were regular in shape
C. the dots followed a path on the screen D. more dots covered a larger coloured area
14. Why do the bears have high degree or intelligence
A. They have to survive by themselves. B. They learn skills from other friends.
C. They feed on a diverse range of food. D. They have complex social networks.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours B. Three Bears Learned How to Count
C. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found D. The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen.(密歇根州奥克兰大学的Jennifer Vonk和乔治亚州立大学的Michael Beran给三只美国黑熊布置了一项任务，让它们在电脑屏幕上区分数值较大和较小的点组)”以及第三段“However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.(然而，这三只熊设法挑出了更多的点，即使是在成对的图案中，更少的点占据更大的面积)”可知，科学家们给这三头熊安排的任务是在电脑屏幕上区分数字上较大和较小的点组，选出点数较多的一组。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area.(正如研究人员在《动物行为》杂志上所报告的那样，熊在彩色点不移动的模式下表现最好，而且更多的彩色点占据了更大的彩色区域)”可知，对熊来说，当更多的点覆盖更大的彩色区域时，这个任务更容易。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts.(熊具有高度的智力并不完全令人惊讶。他们在寻找食物时面临很多挑战。然而，它们总是孤独的，因此没有复杂的社会系统，而这有助于动物的智慧)”可知，熊有高智商是因为必须靠自己生存。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The average bear, it seems, is getting over smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count too. (普通的熊似乎越来越聪明了。首先，事实证明，至少有一个熊可以使用梳子。现在看来，有些熊也会数数了)”结合本文主要介绍了一项新发现，说明熊是一种高智商动物，B选项“发现了证明熊智力的新证据”最符合文章标题。故选C。

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。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings and me only once. Instead，she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner ” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”
No amount of pleading (恳求) or scolding, her mother tried stopped Susie’s tantrum (发脾气). Finally her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonald’s.” Susie stopped yelling and smiling she grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone ”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”

Paragraph l:
By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
By now we were standing in the long holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone,” over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you had better get up by the count of three or else... One... Two... Three.” Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car. I want a new house. I want some jewelry. I want...” Shocked, I stood up.
Paragraph 2:
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up,” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your momma got you good. I bet you’ll never try that again.” And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark. Mom didn't give me any punishment but I did learn something.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者母亲是体罚的支持者，但母亲从不体罚孩子，而母亲的教育给作者留下了比打屁股更持久的记忆——有一天作者在托儿所看到了另外一个孩子通过躺在地上尖叫得到了自己想要的东西，这让作者记忆深刻；那天作者从托儿所离开，作者想要买一部玩具电话，作者母亲拒绝了并说如果作者行为不端，就打作者的屁股。
详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“现在我们排着长假队付账，我想这是个好机会。”可知，第一段可描写作者想通过躺在地上尖叫让妈妈给她买玩具电话，但妈妈也躺在地上尖叫，作者震惊了，就站了起来。
②由第二段首句内容“‘妈妈，停下。妈妈，起来，’我泪流满面地恳求道。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈在作者的祈求下，站了起来，身边人都在鼓掌，作者再也不敢通过躺在地上尖叫的方式获得东西了。
2.续写线索：我躺地上尖叫——我不起来——妈妈躺地上尖叫——我震惊并起来——恳求妈妈起来——欢呼高兴——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①开始：begin/ start
②起来：get up / rise to one's feet
情绪类

[高分句型2]. I bet you’ll never try that again.（由省略连接词that引导的宾语从句）
