For as long as I can remember, I’ve had animals in my life. These days, there are four small companions: three dogs and an eight-year-old brown Burmese cat called Soo. I love them all dearly and they are the best company possible. They greet me warmly each time I come home, never complain and never get angry or argue with me. I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals.
This year, I’ve spent four weeks in hospital, thanks to the cat. I felt such a fool telling the doctors that the terrible bruising (擦伤) and growing lump (肿块) in the middle of my right foot was due to my cat misbehaving.
It was a Sunday night. I’d had friends for lunch and was in the kitchen clearing up. I’d emptied and washed a heavy glass ashtray (烟灰缸), which I’d placed on the side. Soo knows she’s not allowed on the kitchen surfaces. Yet, she jumped up, marched towards the ashtray, and knocked it off. I like to think she didn’t know my foot was directly in her line of fire, but it was. I cried with pain. I couldn’t see any obvious wound and the ashtray survived the fall. I thought nothing more of it.
I’ve never seen such bruising as appeared the next day, but I carried on. I had work to do. It wasn’t too painful and surely the bruising would go away eventually. I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital.
As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree.
24. What has the writer found recently about having pets
A. Pets are the best company possible. B. Pets may bring danger to their owners.
C. Pets never complain or argue with people. D. Dogs and cats are great pets in people’s life.
25. What was the result of the accident
A. I was grateful to my cat Soo. B. I was made fun of by doctors.
C. I only suffered some bruising. D. I stayed in hospital for several weeks.
26. What do we know about the accident
A. My son took my wound more seriously.
B. Soo didn’t knock off the ashtray on purpose.
C. It happened when I was cooking in the kitchen.
D. I took a trip to the hospital right after the accident.
27. Which can best describe the writer’s attitude towards pets
A. Love them all to bits. B. Hate their misbehaviors.
C. Understand their feelings. D. Complain about their company.
C
Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It’s not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10-kilometr e route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you’re being challenged. If you’re red-faced and out of breath, it’s probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it’s a day-tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It’s up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
28. What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge
A. Skiing a black diamond. B. A call for special effort.
C. Applying it to everyone. D. Snowshoeing a challenging route.
29. How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3
A. They are worth trying. B. They are the most challenging.
C. They are suitable for the writer. D. They fail to fire the imagination.
30. Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending
A. The Ice Mile. B. The Wapta Traverse.
C. The Pentathlon des Neiges. D. The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
31. What is the purpose of writing this article
A. To define a challenge. B. To introduce Canada’s sights.
C. To praise adventurous tourists. D. To encourage exploring winter challenges.
D
Computer-generated (产生) writers…writing computer-generated stories
Sports Illustrated is the latest media company to see its good name damaged—if not totally dishonest—about who or what is writing its stories at the beginning of the artificial intelligence (AI) age. The once-powerful media company said it was firing a company that produced articles for its website written by writers who clearly don’t exist.
This week, the Futurism website reported that Sports Illustrated used stories written by writers it could not identify. Upon questioning Sports Illustrated, Futurism said all of the writers with Al-generated photos disappeared from the magazine’s website. No explanation was offered. Futurism quoted (引用) an unnamed person at the magazine who said AI was used in the creation of some content as well—“no matter how much they say that it’s not.”
Sports Illustrated said the articles in question were created by a third-party company, AdVon Commerce, which made the magazine believe that they were written and edited by humans. AdVon had its writers use a pen name, “actions we don’t agree on,” Sports Illustrated said.
Earlier this year, experiments with AI went wrong at media companies. Many companies are testing the new technology at a time when human workers fear it could cost jobs. But it doesn’t work in journalism, which builds and markets its values-based products on truth. “Although there’s nothing wrong in media companies’ experimenting with AI, the mistake is in trying to hide it,” said Tom Rosenstiel, a University of Maryland professor who teaches journalism ethnics (新闻道德). “If you want to be in the truth-telling business, you shouldn’t tell lies,” Rosenstiel said, “A secret is a form of lying.”
32. What can we learn about Sports Illustrated according to Paragraph 2
A. It was an honest media company. B. AI might do harm to its good name.
C. It fired a company started at an AI Age. D. Al made it the latest technology company.
33. Why did the Futurism question Sports Illustrated
A. Because Sports Illustrated used the same writers to create stories.
B. Because AI-generated stories were used on the magazine’s website.
C. Because Sports Illustrated quoted an unnamed person at the magazine.
D. Because AI-generated photos disappeared from the magazine’s website.
34. Which “cost” below is in the closet meaning to the “cost” in the last paragraph
A. This dictionary cost him 10 dollars.
B. The house cost my aunt an arm and a leg.
C. Such behaviour could cost you your place in the team.
D. I didn’t get my dream sports shoes because they cost a lot.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A. Media Companies that Use AI Tool.
B Writing Computer-generated Stories.
C. Al Writing Ruining Media Company’s Fame.
D. Firing Companies that Produce Al-written Stories.

·Mood Chart
This is similar to journaling, but it offers a bit more structure that can help show any patterns that seem to influence your mood. ____40____ And then draw columns (柱状图) for day of the week, mood, and mood-changing factors. Make it fun by using colored pens or emoji stickers for tracking.

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。
Through the dining room window, the rays of the setting sun glowed orange and gold. It looked like a huge traditional lantern (灯笼) lit in the sky for the whole world to see, as Ramadan (斋月), the Muslim (穆斯林) holy month, came to an end.
During Ramadan, Muslim children dance in the streets, swinging traditional lanterns of all sizes. This year, Ayasha’s grandparents in Egypt had sent a lantern to Kamil, Ayasha’s younger brother. Kamil’s lantern was bright blue, with a battery-powered flashing light instead of a candle. Ever since Kamil had opened the package, he had been joyously swinging (旋转) his flashing lantern.
“His lantern is really just a holiday toy,” Ayasha said to herself as she watched him, “My lantern is special, something I want to keep forever”. Her lantern, made of beautiful shiny glass, was a loving touch of home. Her grandparents had sent it to her when her family moved to America for her dad’s new engineering job. Ayasha smiled proudly as she lit the candle inside her lantern.
Tomorrow would be a day for celebration—for wearing new clothes to morning prayers (祷告) for sharing gifts and sweet treats and for showing love to family and friends. Ayasha couldn’t wait.
“Time for dinner! The food smells delicious!” Dad announced. “My favorite cake!” Kamil cried excitedly, swinging his lantern in circles. “Be careful, Kamil!” Mom cried and carefully avoided the swinging lantern as she carried a large bowl of so up to the table. But Kamil was too excited to calm down. The blue light kept swinging until unfortunately, he knocked into Mom. His lantern fell onto the sofa and was intact (完好无损的), but the bowl Mom was holding fell to the floor, spilling (洒) he soup and sending broken pieces everywhere!
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: To make things worse, Kamil stumbled (绊倒) against the table, knocking over Ayasha’glass lantern.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Ayasha opened the door and saw Kamil standing there with his most-treasured lantern.

M: Anyway, you don’t need to sign in this time.
W: Worse still, nobody offered help when I had problems. I was at sea with the functions of the product. If I had been in the convenience store, the salesperson would have given me a hand immediately.

【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: Some schools in the United States and other countries offer Chinese language classes with the government support from China. Saint Mary’s School is a private college preparatory school in Medford, Oregon, in the Pacific Northwest. Saint Mary teaches Spanish, German and Latin. It added Mandarin in 2005. In 2008, it became the first school in the country to join the Confucius classroom program. The program pays about half the costs of a teacher sent to a school in the United States. China’s Education Ministry also provides books and other materials. Saint Mary’s principal, Frank Phillips, says knowing Chinese will help students in a world where China is quickly gaining economic power. The Confucius classroom program is in about forty countries, including more than fifty American schools and universities. A recent report said more schools in the United States are teaching Chinese, although the numbers are still low. But it said foreign language teaching in public elementary and middle schools dropped sharply in recent years. Fewer schools teach French, German, Russian or Japanese. There are language teacher shortages, but some schools say a law that only measures progress in math and reading has hurt language teaching.

B
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had animals in my life. These days, there are four small companions: three dogs and an eight-year-old brown Burmese cat called Soo. I love them all dearly and they are the best company possible. They greet me warmly each time I come home, never complain and never get angry or argue with me. I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals.
This year, I’ve spent four weeks in hospital, thanks to the cat. I felt such a fool telling the doctors that the terrible bruising (擦伤) and growing lump (肿块) in the middle of my right foot was due to my cat misbehaving.
It was a Sunday night. I’d had friends for lunch and was in the kitchen clearing up. I’d emptied and washed a heavy glass ashtray (烟灰缸), which I’d placed on the side. Soo knows she’s not allowed on the kitchen surfaces. Yet, she jumped up, marched towards the ashtray, and knocked it off. I like to think she didn’t know my foot was directly in her line of fire, but it was. I cried with pain. I couldn’t see any obvious wound and the ashtray survived the fall. I thought nothing more of it.
I’ve never seen such bruising as appeared the next day, but I carried on. I had work to do. It wasn’t too painful and surely the bruising would go away eventually. I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital.
As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree.
24. What has the writer found recently about having pets
A. Pets are the best company possible. B. Pets may bring danger to their owners.
C Pets never complain or argue with people. D. Dogs and cats are great pets in people’s life.
25. What was the result of the accident
A. I was grateful to my cat Soo. B. I was made fun of by doctors.
C. I only suffered some bruising. D. I stayed in hospital for several weeks.
26. What do we know about the accident
A. My son took my wound more seriously.
B. Soo didn’t knock off the ashtray on purpose.
C. It happened when I was cooking in the kitchen.
D. I took a trip to the hospital right after the accident.
27. Which can best describe the writer’s attitude towards pets
A. Love them all to bits. B. Hate their misbehaviors.
C. Understand their feelings. D. Complain about their company.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. A

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I have, though, discovered recently, after all these years of never being without a pet, there are unexpected risks of living with animals.(不过，我最近发现，这么多年我一直没有养宠物，与动物一起生活却存在意想不到的风险。)”可知，作者最近发现，宠物可能会给主人带来危险。故选B。

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I carried on like that for a couple of weeks until a visit from my son, who thought the lump had grown and could be infected, so demanded I take a trip to the hospital.(我就这样坚持了几个星期，直到我儿子来看我，他认为肿块已经变大并且可能被感染，所以要求我去医院。)”可知，作者发生事故后，儿子更认真地对待作者的伤口。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. It’s my fault the ashtray was too close to the edge. There’ll still be treats and toys prepared for my pets under the Christmas tree.(至于原谅，没有什么可以原谅的。烟灰缸太靠近边缘是我的错。圣诞树下仍然会为我的宠物准备零食和玩具。)”可知，作者认为这次事故不是宠物猫导致的，是作者自己的错误，这说明作者并没有怪罪自己的猫，由此可推知，作者很爱自己的宠物，故选A。
C
Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It’s not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10-kilometr e route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you’re being challenged. If you’re red-faced and out of breath, it’s probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it’s a day-tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It’s up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
28 What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge
A. Skiing a black diamond. B. A call for special effort.
C. Applying it to everyone. D. Snowshoeing a challenging route.
29. How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3
A. They are worth trying. B. They are the most challenging.
C. They are suitable for the writer. D. They fail to fire the imagination.
30. Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending
A. The Ice Mile. B. The Wapta Traverse.
C. The Pentathlon des Neiges. D. The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
31. What is the purpose of writing this article
A. To define a challenge. B. To introduce Canada’s sights.
C. To praise adventurous tourists. D. To encourage exploring winter challenges.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章号召人们去加拿大挑战十个最令人兴奋的冬季挑战项目。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort.”（在所有定义挑战的方法中，最简单的方法效果最好：号召特别的努力。它适用于每个人。）可知，作者认为定义挑战的最佳方式是需要特别的努力。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.”（这一季，我们在加拿大挑选了10个最令人兴奋的冬季挑战项目。当然，有一些甚至连作者都不想尝试，但它们都能激发想象力。它们都是关于在ExploreTM激发灵感的户外体验。我们鼓励适应和采用。）可知，作者认为加拿大冬季的十大挑战值得一试。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely.”（当你阅读第28页的专题时，你可能会放弃6633北极极限和冰英里，但著名的落基山滑雪之旅瓦普塔特拉弗斯，或者魁北克市的内吉斯五项全能，可能很符合你的要求。）可知，作者会避免推荐的是the Ice Mile。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.”（我们写这篇文章是因为我们想让你看到冬天的可能性：不仅仅是在滑雪山上或附近的湖上度过一个简单但令人满意的一天；把冬天看得和夏天一样多姿多彩。）可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励探索冬季挑战。故选D项。
D
Computer-generated (产生) writers…writing computer-generated stories
Sports Illustrated is the latest media company to see its good name damaged—if not totally dishonest—about who or what is writing its stories at the beginning of the artificial intelligence (AI) age. The once-powerful media company said it was firing a company that produced articles for its website written by writers who clearly don’t exist.
This week, the Futurism website reported that Sports Illustrated used stories written by writers it could not identify. Upon questioning Sports Illustrated, Futurism said all of the writers with Al-generated photos disappeared from the magazine’s website. No explanation was offered. Futurism quoted (引用) an unnamed person at the magazine who said AI was used in the creation of some content as well—“no matter how much they say that it’s not.”
Sports Illustrated said the articles in question were created by a third-party company, AdVon Commerce, which made the magazine believe that they were written and edited by humans. AdVon had its writers use a pen name, “actions we don’t agree on,” Sports Illustrated said.
Earlier this year, experiments with AI went wrong at media companies. Many companies are testing the new technology at a time when human workers fear it could cost jobs. But it doesn’t work in journalism, which builds and markets its values-based products on truth. “Although there’s nothing wrong in media companies’ experimenting with AI, the mistake is in trying to hide it,” said Tom Rosenstiel, a University of Maryland professor who teaches journalism ethnics (新闻道德). “If you want to be in the truth-telling business, you shouldn’t tell lies,” Rosenstiel said, “A secret is a form of lying.”
32. What can we learn about Sports Illustrated according to Paragraph 2
A. It was an honest media company. B. AI might do harm to its good name.
C. It fired a company started at an AI Age. D. Al made it the latest technology company.
33. Why did the Futurism question Sports Illustrated
A. Because Sports Illustrated used the same writers to create stories.
B. Because AI-generated stories were used on the magazine’s website.
C. Because Sports Illustrated quoted an unnamed person at the magazine.
D. Because AI-generated photos disappeared from the magazine’s website.
34. Which “cost” below is in the closet meaning to the “cost” in the last paragraph
A. This dictionary cost him 10 dollars.
B. The house cost my aunt an arm and a leg.
C. Such behaviour could cost you your place in the team.
D. I didn’t get my dream sports shoes because they cost a lot.
35. What might be the best title for the text
A Media Companies that Use AI Tool.
B. Writing Computer-generated Stories.
C. Al Writing Ruining Media Company’s Fame.
D. Firing Companies that Produce Al-written Stories.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《体育画报》利用人工智能撰写文章从而使自己的声誉受损的事情。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Sports Illustrated is the latest media company to see its good name damaged—if not totally dishonest—about who or what is writing its stories at the beginning of the artificial intelligence （AI）age.”（《体育画报》是最新一家因在人工智能时代之初，谁或什么在撰写其报道而名声受损（如果不是完全不诚实的话）的媒体公司。）可知，《体育画报》的人工智能可能会损坏它的好名声。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This week, the Futurism website reported that Sports Illustrated used stories written by writers it could not identify. Upon questioning Sports Illustrated, Futurism said all of the writers with Al-generated photos disappeared from the magazine’s website.”（本周，《未来主义》网站报道，《体育画报》使用了它无法识别的作者所写的故事。在询问《体育画报》后，《未来主义》表示，所有使用人工智能生成照片的作者都从该杂志的网站上消失了。）可知，未来派质疑《体育画报》因为该杂志的网站上使用了人工智能生成的故事。故选B项。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Many companies are testing the new technology at a time when human workers fear it could cost jobs.”（许多公司正在测试这项新技术，而人类工人担心它可能会导致cost工作。）可知人类担心因新技术的测试使他们失去工作，推断出划线单词意为“使失去”，和C项“这样的行为会使你失去在团队中的地位”中的cost意思一致。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“Sports Illustrated is the latest media company to see its good name damaged—if not totally dishonest—about who or what is writing its stories at the beginning of the artificial intelligence （AI）age. The once-powerful media company said it was firing a company that produced articles for its website written by writers who clearly don’t exist.”（《体育画报》是最新一家因在人工智能时代之初，谁或什么在撰写其报道而名声受损(如果不是完全不诚实的话)的媒体公司。这家一度强大的媒体公司表示，将解雇一家为其网站撰写文章的公司，这些文章的作者显然是不存在的。）可知，文章主要介绍了《体育画报》利用人工智能写文章使自己的声誉受损并遭到质疑，所以C项“人工智能写作毁了媒体公司的声誉”符合题意。故选C项。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Through the dining room window, the rays of the setting sun glowed orange and gold. It looked like a huge traditional lantern (灯笼) lit in the sky for the whole world to see, as Ramadan (斋月), the Muslim (穆斯林) holy month, came to an end.
During Ramadan, Muslim children dance in the streets, swinging traditional lanterns of all sizes. This year, Ayasha’s grandparents in Egypt had sent a lantern to Kamil, Ayasha’s younger brother. Kamil’s lantern was bright blue, with a battery-powered flashing light instead of a candle. Ever since Kamil had opened the package, he had been joyously swinging (旋转) his flashing lantern.
“His lantern is really just a holiday toy,” Ayasha said to herself as she watched him, “My lantern is special, something I want to keep forever”. Her lantern, made of beautiful shiny glass, was a loving touch of home. Her grandparents had sent it to her when her family moved to America for her dad’s new engineering job. Ayasha smiled proudly as she lit the candle inside her lantern.
Tomorrow would be a day for celebration—for wearing new clothes to morning prayers (祷告) for sharing gifts and sweet treats and for showing love to family and friends. Ayasha couldn’t wait.
“Time for dinner! The food smells delicious!” Dad announced. “My favorite cake!” Kamil cried excitedly, swinging his lantern in circles. “Be careful, Kamil!” Mom cried and carefully avoided the swinging lantern as she carried a large bowl of so up to the table. But Kamil was too excited to calm down. The blue light kept swinging until unfortunately, he knocked into Mom. His lantern fell onto the sofa and was intact (完好无损的), but the bowl Mom was holding fell to the floor, spilling (洒) he soup and sending broken pieces everywhere!
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: To make things worse, Kamil stumbled (绊倒) against the table, knocking over Ayasha’glass lantern.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Ayasha opened the door and saw Kamil standing there with his most-treasured lantern.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
To make things worse, Kamil stumbled (绊倒) against the table, knocking over Ayasha’s glass lantern. Its breaking glass sounded like a warning bell, and the candle inside blew out immediately. The room was very quiet for a moment. “Accidents happen,” Mom broke the silence with a sigh as she wiped up the spills. In a fit of anger, Ayasha stormed into her bedroom with her broken lantern, slamming the door behind her. The bright Ramadan sunset faded to darkness, and her excitement faded with it. For her, the celebration was spoiled before it even started. Ayasha cried herself to sleep. Suddenly, she was woken up by a knock on the door.
Ayasha opened the door and saw Kamil standing there with his most-treasured lantern. With his head drooping, he said softly, “You can have my lantern since I broke yours.” Knowing how much his first lantern meant to him, Ayasha was touched by his offer. Ramadan was a time for family and forgiveness, and lanterns were only symbols. The real light and warmth came from acts of kindness. Ayasha embraced her brother and answered, “Thank you, Kamil, but keep your lantern. Go to bed early tonight. We don’t want to be late for morning prayers tomorrow.” Ayasha smiled, determined to give thanks for strength, health, and all the blessings in life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在斋月期间，今年Ayasha在埃及的祖父母给Ayasha的弟弟Kamil送了一盏灯笼，结果在吃饭的时候弟弟打破了Ayasha的灯笼，Ayasha十分生气和伤心，好在最后弟弟把自己的灯笼送给了姐姐，表示歉意。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“更糟糕的是，Kamil绊倒在桌子上，打翻了Ayasha的玻璃灯笼”可知，第一段可描写Ayasha的灯笼被打碎以后得表现，Ayasha十分生气回到了自己房间。
②由第二段首句内容“Ayasha打开门，看见Kamil拿着他最珍爱的灯笼站在那里”可知，第二段可描写弟弟想把自己的灯笼送给Ayasha作为道歉。
2.续写线索：Ayasha灯笼被打破——Ayasha生气——Ayasha回到卧室——弟弟拿着灯笼道歉——Ayasha原谅——Ayasha感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
