Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there. So after I finished the study, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest. I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p. m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁)in the sky! I was amazed and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that my hands and feet were numb with cold. Actually, the time of my being able to be out was limited. I had to bring her camera back to the house in one hour at the most, for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they occur from the collision(碰撞)between atmospheric gases and solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, leading to the best northern lights.
24. Why did the author forget to take pictures
A. It was freezing cold outside.
B. He was shocked by the wonderful sights.
C. The lights were flickering in the sky.
D. He lost all his feeling in his hands and feet.
25. What can we infer from the passage
A. The northern lights came out every night.
B. The author took lots of pictures with his camera.
C. The author could stay as long as he liked outdoors.
D. Cameras will be damaged if exposed too long to coldness.
26. When is the best time to see the northern lights
A. They appear in the north part of the sky.
B. They rise in the east and set in the west.
C. They are between the north and south.
D. They come down to the south part of the sky.
27. Why is it hard for the author to take good pictures
A. The lights stay in the middle for a very short time.
B. The lights of the sun affect the northern lights.
C. The lights are caused by the collisions of gases.
D. The colours of the lights are determined by the height.

The cat Bubby showed up on the doorstep of Wiseman’s father, Abbott, who was putting out food for a different stray cat (流浪猫).
Wiseman recalls that one day her father found a little three-legged cat in the kitchen eating the other cat’s food. Dad was kind of really surprised by this animal. It melted his heart to see this little cat with three legs looking after himself. Since then, her father and Bubby formed an unbreakable bond. They helped each other: Bubby got food and frequent visits to the house, while Abbott got a companion through a time of change in his life.
After Abbott died in 2017, Bubby’s visits to her family home stopped. The family couldn’t locate Bubby for almost two years until they saw his furry face in an online post.
According to volunteer McLeod, Bubby was brought to the shelter after a community effort to find the three-legged cat. McLeod remembers when she met Bubby for the first time, he was laying face down in his cage, exhausted. McLeod featured the cat in an online post, asking anyone if they knew of the animal’s history. Wiseman leapt at the opportunity to reunite with Bubby. Once Bubby was recovered enough to leave the shelter, the two decided McLeod would adopt Bubby and give him his forever home.
In a twist of fate, Wiseman revealed McLeod had actually met Abbott and Bubby previously, but had forgotten the encounter. “It’s like it came full circle. It was a very sad thing that turned into a beautiful thing.” Wiseman said. Wiseman still visits Bubby whenever she can, often helping with the cat’s special food and treats. She is thrilled that Bubby was able to find his forever home, and knows her father would feel the same.
28. How did Abbott feel when he first found the three-legged cat
A. Caring. B. Interested. C. Touched. D. Upset.
29. How did Wiseman relocate the cat
A. She found the cat accidentally when it was posted online.
B. She reached the cat through hard work of the community.
C. She was told the cat was brought to a shelter by a volunteer.
D. She turned to a website helping lost animals find their owners.
30. When was Bubby given his permanent home
A. After Bubby made a full recovery.
B. Two years before Abbott died.
C. When Bubby was found by McLeod.
D. The moment McLeod met Wiseman.
31. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Wiseman’s frequent visits to the cat.
B. The cat’s final settlement in McLeod’s house.
C. The meeting and adoption of the cat and McLeod.
D. McLeod’s experience of meeting Abbot and the cat.

A new device is helping those who are blind to see. Jason Esterhuizen lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But now with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grew brighter.
He says, “I still can’t put it into words. I mean from being able to see absolutely nothing, it’s completely black, to all of a sudden seeing a little light move around.“ It is not full or normal sight, but Esterhuizen can move about in the world around him.
Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”
The new technology-called Orion-uses several parts. One is a small device placed in the brain. The other parts are a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device that can be carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor (处理器)and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain. The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.
Pouratian says this technology is a first. “We basically have the video camera and the video processing unit performing the functions of what the eye normally does, ” he adds.
Esterhuizen says that now he can do everyday activities around his home that he once could not. “Crossing the road is much easier and much safer for me because I can look down and just follow the white line that’s painted on the road.”
The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
32. How does the new device help the blind to become independent
A. To tell them their surroundings. B. To show them its instructions.
C. To use sound to communicate with them. D. To give them full sight.
33. What do we know about Orion
A. It needs sunglasses with network. B. It totally depends on the camera.
C. It can function almost in real time. D. It sends a pattern of light in hours.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The technology will cure all diseases.
B. The technology still has some space to improve.
C. Those with poor vision will recover immediately.
D. Those with poor vision will go blind once more.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A New Device Improves Your Eyesight B. Technology Is Changing the Modern Life
C. Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See D. You Will Get Independence with Orion

I found him in the playground one day and he told me not to tell anyone because he thought they would laugh at him. Today we had gym class, and everyone was really hungry.

【答案】17. C 18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】It’s good to see people live longer lives. But how we can help people who live longer live better has been a big challenge. Now, a number of businesses are offering services specifically designed for the elderly. One of them is True Call. True Call is a UK telephone communication service that can block unwanted telephone calls. Businessman Robert Smith has set the system in his mother’s home, since a group of people had stolen her life savings through phone calls a few months earlier.
Another one called Red & Yellow Care is a health care service. According to the director Mike Hart, their staff is trained to be able to explain their service in a simple and clear way, and unafraid of repeating the information. All the training is to provide safer and friendlier service for the elderly.
Then there is Safeway, a supermarket chain. One of the staff, Martin Bateman says that he and his co-workers now ask older customers more frequently if they need help at the checkouts. These customers may not know what to do with the self-checkout machines. All in all, the elderly are gaining increasing attention from the society. They’ll be living longer and better.

Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there. So after I finished the study, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest. I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p. m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁)in the sky! I was amazed and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that my hands and feet were numb with cold. Actually, the time of my being able to be out was limited. I had to bring her camera back to the house in one hour at the most, for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they occur from the collision(碰撞)between atmospheric gases and solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, leading to the best northern lights.
24. Why did the author forget to take pictures
A. It was freezing cold outside.
B. He was shocked by the wonderful sights.
C. The lights were flickering in the sky.
D. He lost all his feeling in his hands and feet.
25. What can we infer from the passage
A. The northern lights came out every night.
B. The author took lots of pictures with his camera.
C. The author could stay as long as he liked outdoors.
D. Cameras will be damaged if exposed too long to coldness.
26. When is the best time to see the northern lights
A. They appear in the north part of the sky.
B. They rise in the east and set in the west.
C. They are between the north and south.
D. They come down to the south part of the sky.
27. Why is it hard for the author to take good pictures
A. The lights stay in the middle for a very short time.
B. The lights of the sun affect the northern lights.
C. The lights are caused by the collisions of gases.
D. The colours of the lights are determined by the height.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A

【27题详解】
细节理解题。第四段最后一句提到“Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.”（由于北极光降落到天空中央只有几秒钟的时间，所以很难拍到好的照片。）由此判断，因为北极光出现在天空中央很短，因此很难拍到好看的照片。故选A。

The cat Bubby showed up on the doorstep of Wiseman’s father, Abbott, who was putting out food for a different stray cat (流浪猫).
Wiseman recalls that one day her father found a little three-legged cat in the kitchen eating the other cat’s food. Dad was kind of really surprised by this animal. It melted his heart to see this little cat with three legs looking after himself. Since then, her father and Bubby formed an unbreakable bond. They helped each other: Bubby got food and frequent visits to the house, while Abbott got a companion through a time of change in his life.
After Abbott died in 2017, Bubby’s visits to her family home stopped. The family couldn’t locate Bubby for almost two years until they saw his furry face in an online post.
According to volunteer McLeod, Bubby was brought to the shelter after a community effort to find the three-legged cat. McLeod remembers when she met Bubby for the first time, he was laying face down in his cage, exhausted. McLeod featured the cat in an online post, asking anyone if they knew of the animal’s history. Wiseman leapt at the opportunity to reunite with Bubby. Once Bubby was recovered enough to leave the shelter, the two decided McLeod would adopt Bubby and give him his forever home.
In a twist of fate, Wiseman revealed McLeod had actually met Abbott and Bubby previously, but had forgotten the encounter. “It’s like it came full circle. It was a very sad thing that turned into a beautiful thing.” Wiseman said. Wiseman still visits Bubby whenever she can, often helping with the cat’s special food and treats. She is thrilled that Bubby was able to find his forever home, and knows her father would feel the same.
28. How did Abbott feel when he first found the three-legged cat
A. Caring. B. Interested. C. Touched. D. Upset.
29. How did Wiseman relocate the cat
A. She found the cat accidentally when it was posted online.
B. She reached the cat through hard work of the community.
C. She was told the cat was brought to a shelter by a volunteer.
D She turned to a website helping lost animals find their owners.
30. When was Bubby given his permanent home
A. After Bubby made a full recovery.
B. Two years before Abbott died.
C. When Bubby was found by McLeod.
D. The moment McLeod met Wiseman.
31. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Wiseman’s frequent visits to the cat.
B. The cat’s final settlement in McLeod’s house.
C. The meeting and adoption of the cat and McLeod.
D. McLeod’s experience of meeting Abbot and the cat.

A new device is helping those who are blind to see. Jason Esterhuizen lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But now with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grew brighter.
He says, “I still can’t put it into words. I mean from being able to see absolutely nothing, it’s completely black, to all of a sudden seeing a little light move around.“ It is not full or normal sight, but Esterhuizen can move about in the world around him.
Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”
The new technology-called Orion-uses several parts. One is a small device placed in the brain. The other parts are a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device that can be carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor (处理器)and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain. The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.
Pouratian says this technology is a first. “We basically have the video camera and the video processing unit performing the functions of what the eye normally does, ” he adds.
Esterhuizen says that now he can do everyday activities around his home that he once could not. “Crossing the road is much easier and much safer for me because I can look down and just follow the white line that’s painted on the road.”
The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
32. How does the new device help the blind to become independent
A. To tell them their surroundings. B. To show them its instructions.
C. To use sound to communicate with them. D. To give them full sight.
33. What do we know about Orion
A. It needs sunglasses with network. B. It totally depends on the camera.
C. It can function almost in real time. D. It sends a pattern of light in hours.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The technology will cure all diseases.
B. The technology still has some space to improve.
C. Those with poor vision will recover immediately.
D. Those with poor vision will go blind once more.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A New Device Improves Your Eyesight B. Technology Is Changing the Modern Life
C. Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See D. You Will Get Independence with Orion
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够帮助失明的人重见光明。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”(Nader Pouratian博士说：“能够分辨出门口在哪里，能够分辨出人行道起点和终点，以及人行横道在哪里，这些都是非常有意义的事情，可以帮助这些人重新获得某种形式的独立。”)”可知，新设备让盲人获得独立的方式是该设备能够告知盲人周边的环境。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.(该模式帮助用户识别光的运动和形状。这一切都在几秒钟内发生。)”可知，Orion的功能几乎是实时发生的。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”可知，这项技术还需进一步改进，并最终能够帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人，甚至可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new device is helping those who are blind to see.(一种新设备正在帮助盲人重见光明。)”以及最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够让那些失明的人重见光明。所以“Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See(盲人有了看见的机会)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

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。
How adversity(逆境) makes you stronger
When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth. ____36____ Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways.
____37____ Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength.
They build self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is the confidence in your ability to overcome challenges and succeed. I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived. ____38____
They help you treat stress as a challenge. ____39____ Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge. With a challenge response you get additional energy and feel focused instead of being fearful.
____40____ Your past struggles even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with.
A. They help you find the good.
B. They can bring growth after sufferings.
C. People have a healthier physical response to stress.
D. If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed.
E. The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation.
F. How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it.
G. That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明，过去的逆境可以在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。
【36题详解】
上文“When faced with a crisis, we find it difficult to imagine the experience will eventually lead to some type of growth.”（当面临危机时，我们很难想象这种经历最终会带来某种类型的增长。）引出话题，说明很难想象在逆境中得到某些增长。下文“Research shows that past adversities can help you become more powerful in three ways.”（研究表明，过去的逆境可以在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。）提到过去的逆境在三个方面帮助你变得更强大。可知，为语意的转折，可推知，空格处内容为困境可以让我们变得更强大。结合选项E项The fact is that we can become stronger after a difficult situation.（事实是，我们可以在困难的情况下变得更强大。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
【37题详解】
由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“Post-unpleasant growth is the experience of positive change after going through a significantly stressful event. Researchers have discovered two common themes that people tend to report after experiencing a stressful event: spiritual growth and enhanced personal strength.”（不愉快后的成长是指在经历了重大压力事件后的积极变化。研究人员发现，人们在经历压力事件后倾向于报告两个共同的主题：精神成长和个人力量的增强。）可知，本段陈述了逆境有助于我们成长。结合选项B项They can bring growth after sufferings.（他们可以在苦难后带来成长。）意思一致，为总结该段内容。故选B项。
【38题详解】
由该空位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“I once took part in a program with soldiers, where I should dance in front of hundreds of audience. When I danced, I had a panic attack and had to hang onto my colleague’s arm to make it through. What was odd was my brain’s reaction to the exercise. While it was a truly unpleasant experience, I survived.”（我曾经参加过一个与士兵一起的节目，在那里我要在数百名观众面前跳舞。当我跳舞的时候，我的恐慌症发作了，我不得不抓住我同事的胳膊才能撑过去。奇怪的是我的大脑对这项运动的反应。虽然这真的是一次不愉快的经历，但我坚持下来了。）可知，讲的是一次不愉快的经历。结合选项G项That made my brain think about what other tough challenges I could conquer.（这让我的大脑开始思考我还能战胜哪些艰难的挑战。）中的That指代的是上文作者参加项目的经历，与上文内容相关，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【39题详解】
上文“They help you treat stress as a challenge.”（他们帮助你把压力当成挑战。）提到把压力当成挑战。下文“Some people view stress as a threat, while others are able to view it as a challenge.”（一些人认为压力是一种威胁，而另一些人则能够将其视为一种挑战。）说明两种不同看待压力的观点。故可推断空格处内容为如何看待压力非常重要。结合选项F项How you think about stress matters extremely in terms of how you process it.（你如何看待压力对你如何处理压力非常重要。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Your past struggles, even small ones during an adversity can help you step out of the trouble you’re faced with.”（你过去的挣扎，即使是逆境中的小挣扎也能帮助你走出困境。）可知，讲的是逆境中的小挣扎也能帮助你走出困境。结合选项D项If your world feels out of control right now, just stay relaxed.（如果你现在觉得你的世界失控了，那就放松。）可知，与下文内容相关，下文是空格处内容的语意递进，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。

【答案】One possible version:
A
As far as I am concerned, winning is not that important in a sports competition. Rather, it is participation itself that matters. As long as you take part in a sports competition, whether you win or lose, it helps free you from the heavy pressure caused by study and daily work.
For instance, I once signed up for a cross-country race. I set a workout plan, stuck to it and exercised regularly for a whole month. Although I didn’t win the race, I felt a strong sense of pride because I had challenged myself and managed to keep running instead of giving up halfway.
B
In my opinion, to win in a sports competition is more important. Otherwise, a sports match is meaningless.
Firstly, the purpose of competitive sports is to show who has the ability to win the competition. If everyone is trying to win, the competition will be more exciting. Meanwhile, through a competition, those who have a talent for a sport event can be discovered. They can attend a higher level of competitions.
Secondly, if we wish to win, we will train hard and training can build up our body and enhance our willpower.
Thirdly, if we win, we may get a prize or an award, which is a great honor for us. For example, at the school sports meet held last year, I won the second place in the high jump competition and was wild with joy when receiving the silver medal from our headmaster.

67. 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。
Courtney Johnson arrived at her son Peter’s school just in time and immediately recognized him among the mass of students spilling through the front gate. Peter rushed to the car, climbed inside and put on the seat belt.
“How was your day at school today, Peter ” she asked as they left for home.
“Um, it was okay, Mom,” Peter said. “I’m starving! Can we please stop by McDonald’s on our way home ”
“Hungry ” Courtney stopped for a moment. “Didn’t you have lunch at school today Or is it an excuse for chicken nuggets (鸡块) Not again, Peter!”
“No Mom! I’m actually starving. I would have eaten at the dinning hall, but I had to give my food to my classmate Aiden because he was hungry.”
Courtney frowned. “But everyone gets their separate meal at school, Peter.”
“Aiden doesn’t eat with us, Mom,” Peter revealed. “His mom can’t pay for his lunch. They are struggling financially. I found him in the playground one day and he told me not to tell anyone because he thought they would laugh at him. Today we had gym class, and everyone was really hungry. I knew Aiden wouldn’t have anything to eat, so I offered my portion (一份) to him.”
Courtney was happy that her son was kind enough to help a needy classmate. She wondered what went wrong with Aiden’s family, so that Aiden had to skip (不吃) lunch at school. When they got home that day, she received a text message from Peter’s teacher, saying there would be a parents’ meeting the next day. Then she thought of a plan. She called Peter’s teacher Mrs Dickens and shared her idea.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, when they all gathered, Mrs Dickens briefed them about Aiden’s situation at Courtney’s request. Aiden’s mom explained how their family had fallen on hard times and was struggling to make ends meet. She had lost her job a few months ago, and despite searching tirelessly for a new one, she hadn’t been successful yet. The parents listened attentively and felt a deep sense of empathy for them. Courtney suggested starting a meal-sharing program at the school, where parents could contribute extra lunch portions or donate money to ensure that no child went hungry. The idea resonated with the parents.
As Courtney was about to get into her car outside the school gate, Aiden’s mom met her and thanked her for her help. “I can’t thank you enough for what you did,” Aiden’s mom said, her eyes welling up with tears. Courtney reached out and gave her a comforting hug. “You don’t have to thank us,” she replied. “We’re all one big family here.” After school, Peter said, “Thank you so much, Mom. You have really helped my friend!” “You should say thanks to yourself. I’m so proud of you, Peter. Your act of kindness has made a real difference in Aiden’s life,” Courtney answered. Peter smiled shyly, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在接儿子Peter放学回家的过程中，Courtney得知他把自己的午饭送给了同学Aiden，因为Aiden家里现在经济上有困难，无法支付午餐费。Courtney为儿子能好心地帮助有需要的同学而高兴，也想弄清楚Aiden家出了什么问题，恰好第二天学校要开家长会，她和Dickens老师分享了自己想出来的计划。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，当他们都聚在一起时，Dickens老师应Courtney的请求向他们简要介绍了Aiden的情况”可知，第一段可描写Aiden的妈妈向大家说明家庭困难，以及Courtney发起帮助Aiden的计划。
②由第二段首句内容“当Courtney在学校大门外准备上车时，Aiden的妈妈遇到了她，并感谢她的帮助”可知，第二段可描写Courtney和Aiden的妈妈之间的交流，以及Courtney和儿子Peter就帮助Aiden这件事的交流。
2. 续写线索：Dickens老师介绍Aiden的情况——Aiden的妈妈说明家庭困难——Courtney提议帮助Aiden——Courtney遇到Aiden的妈妈——Courtney和Aiden的妈妈交流——Courtney和Peter交流
