When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the centre of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favourite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: "Safe! Safe! Safe!" And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've travelled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. "Safe, man. Safe."
"Yeah," I said. "Safe."
24．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A．He felt disappointed.
B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there.
D．He had disagreements with his family.
25．What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don't worry!
26．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days.
27．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Children should learn a second language.
B．Sport is necessary for children's health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging.
D．Seeing the world is a must for children.
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The world itself is becoming much smaller because of modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting Earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
Earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
28．Why is our world becoming much smaller
A．Pollution is increasing.
B．Thanks to science development.
C．Earth is being polluted day and night.
D．Soil is blown away by the wind every year.
29．Which of the following is NOT true
A．Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B．The pollution of Earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C．The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on Earth.
D．If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.
30．What can we learn about air pollution
A．It makes much noise.
B．It makes us angry more easily.
C．It makes our rivers and lakes dirty.
D．It does harm to living things around the world.
31．What can be inferred from the text
A．We should care more about Earth.
B．We should take it for granted that pollution will rise.
C．We should just keep the land and water clean to avoid pollution.
D．We should take care of ourselves.
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet we still have no cure for the common cold.
According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in many different types of cold viruses. There are at least 160 types. They change so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn't likely to work on every type of the cold.
However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can't spread inside your body. To identify the gene(基因) which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes. These modified(改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of viruses, including ones causing the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate(复制) inside cells without a gene that produces that specific protein.
Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live normal lives without the protein. "Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection," associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. "These mice would always die, but they lived through and we saw a very strong reduction in copying viruses and very strong protection. We have identified a fantastic target that all cold viruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance."
Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily control the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans.
32．Which of the following can best describe common cold viruses
A．Severe and deadly. B．Mysterious and stubborn.
C．Diverse and changeable. D．Challenging and oversized.
33．How does the protein work
A．Help viruses spread. B．Reduce physical infection.
C．Fight against other viruses. D．Strengthen the immune system.
34．What can we learn about the genetically modified mice
A．They caught colds easily. B．Their health worsened.
C．They produced more protein. D．They were able to survive.
35．What is the purpose of the research
A．To control certain genes.
B．To conquer the common cold.
C．To test a new drug.
D．To cure genetically modified mice.

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。
When I arrived at the large hospital kitchen at 6 a.m., Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘).
"Hi, I'm Janet." I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. "I'm scheduled to work with you this week."
Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.
"What do you want me to do Start with the coffee " I asked.
Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled, "That's not the way to make coffee." She stepped in and took over.
Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.
Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "What shall I do " The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.
Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things in Rose's way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.
注意：
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room.
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.

15．B
16．A
17．C
【解析】【听力原文】W: What is life like for today's students How do they treat money As the university and college terms began，I interviewed a few students. Sarah is a second-year biology student. She says that money is a big problem. She can eat cheaply at university，but she spends quite a lot on transport. She also spends quite a lot on stylish clothes. Colin，who is studying engineering，says that he doesn't spend anything on clothes unless counting climbing shoes and special tools，some of which are very expensive. Not much of his money goes on transport because he likes to ride his bike around. Diana is a first-year designing student. She makes all her own clothes. This should save her money. But in fact，the materials are very expensive. She does not know how she would manage if she did not sell some of the dresses and hats she made to other students. She says that everything is expensive. That includes rent，food，transport and heating for the flat in winter. Jack is a science student. He doesn't spend much money on clothes but his rent is high and he spends quite a lot on books，so he is doing part-time jobs to afford all of these.

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames,is the centre of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favourite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: "Safe! Safe! Safe!" And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've travelled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. "I was a local here 20 years ago," I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. "Safe, man. Safe."
"Yeah," I said. "Safe."
24．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A．He felt disappointed.
B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there.
D．He had disagreements with his family.
25．What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don't worry!
26．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days.
27．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．Children should learn a second language.
B．Sport is necessary for children's health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
24．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place."除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。
25．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: ‘ Safe! Safe! Safe!'"几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道："做得好！做得好！做得好！；以及"And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. "那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家。可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可推知本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。
26．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"‘I was a local here 20 years ago,' I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. ‘Safe, man. Safe.'"我告诉他："我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，"他缓慢地开始向我点头："嗨，你好!"可推知，作者去Southbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。
27．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery."除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现；第二段中的"Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters."泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友；第三段"When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up."我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了；以及第四段中的"When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring."当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天。可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The world itself is becoming much smaller because of modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting Earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
Earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
28．Why is our world becoming much smaller
A．Pollution is increasing.
B．Thanks to science development.
C．Earth is being polluted day and night.
D．Soil is blown away by the wind every year.
29．Which of the following is NOT true
A．Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B．The pollution of Earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C．The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on Earth.
D．If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.
30．What can we learn about air pollution
A．It makes much noise.
B．It makes us angry more easily.
C．It makes our rivers and lakes dirty.
D．It does harm to living things around the world.
31．What can be inferred from the text
A．We should care more about Earth.
B．We should take it for granted that pollution will rise.
C．We should just keep the land and water clean to avoid pollution.
D．We should take care of ourselves.
【答案】28．B
29．C
30．D
31．A

28．考查细节理解，根据第一段中的"The world itself is becoming much smaller because of modern traffic and modern communication means."由于现代交通和现代通信手段，世界本身正在变得更小。故选B。
29．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"The more people, the more pollution. "人越多，污染就越多。可推知"污染问题不是那么严重，因为没有那么多人生活在地球上。"是错误的，故选C。
30．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world."空气污染仍然是最严重的。它对世界上所有的生物都有害，故选D。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"Earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time."地球是我们的家。我们必须保护它。这意味着保持土地、水和空气的清洁。同时，我们必须注意污染的增加。可推知我们应该更加关心地球。故选A。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Technology has become so advanced that the previously impossible seems to occur on a daily basis. And yet we still have no cure for the common cold.
According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK, the main challenge lies in many different types of cold viruses. There are at least 160 types. They change so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems. In other words, a single cure isn't likely to work on every type of the cold.
However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can't spread inside your body. To identify the gene(基因) which produces the specific protein needed by the viruses, researchers used a gene-editing technique to test all genes. These modified(改变的) cells were then exposed to a range of viruses, including ones causing the common cold. All the viruses were unable to replicate(复制) inside cells without a gene that produces that specific protein.
Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live normal lives without the protein. "Lacking that gene protected the mice completely from viral infection," associate professor Jan Carette, from Stanford, told the BBC. "These mice would always die, but they lived through and we saw a very strong reduction in copying viruses and very strong protection. We have identified a fantastic target that all cold viruses require and depend on. Take that away and the virus really has no chance."
Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily control the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans.
32．Which of the following can best describe common cold viruses
A．Severe and deadly. B．Mysterious and stubborn.
C．Diverse and changeable. D．Challenging and oversized.
33．How does the protein work
A．Help viruses spread. B．Reduce physical infection.
C．Fight against other viruses. D．Strengthen the immune system.
34．What can we learn about the genetically modified mice
A．They caught colds easily. B．Their health worsened.
C．They produced more protein. D．They were able to survive.
35．What is the purpose of the research
A．To control certain genes.
B．To conquer the common cold.
C．To test a new drug.
D．To cure genetically modified mice.

32．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"According to Peter Barlow, a scientist at Edinburgh Napier University in the UK ,the main challenge lies in the many different types of cold viruses. They changed so easily that they quickly become resistant to drugs, or learn to hide from our immune systems."可知，英国爱丁堡纳皮尔大学的科学家Peter Barlow表示，主要挑战在于多种不同类型的感冒病毒。它们是如此轻易地改变，以至于它们很快对药物产生抵抗力，或者学会躲开我们的免疫系统。即普通感冒病毒是多样的而且易变的。故选C。
33．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can't spread inside your body"可知，斯坦福大学的研究人员找到了可能的答案。他们发现了病毒需要的蛋白质。没有蛋白质病毒就无法在体内传播。因此蛋白质起到了帮助病毒传播的作用。故选A。
34．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Then, they tested genetically modified mice, which were completely unable to produce the protein. The mice were able to live normal lives without the protein."可知，然后他们测试了完全无法产生蛋白质的转基因小鼠。小鼠能够在没有蛋白质的情况下正常生活。因此关于完全无法产生蛋白质的转基因小鼠，我们知道它们能够生存下来。故选D。
35．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"However, researchers from Stanford University have found a possible answer. They discovered a protein that the viruses need. Without it, they can't spread inside your body"可知，斯坦福大学的研究人员找到了可能的答案。他们发现了病毒需要的蛋白质。没有蛋白质病毒就无法在体内传播。可知，蛋白质起到了帮助病毒传播的作用；以及最后一段中的"Carette said the plan is to find a drug which can temporarily control the protein, instead of producing genetically modified humans."可知，Carette说研究计划是要找到一种可以暂时控制蛋白质的药物，而不是生产转基因的人类。因此该研究的目的是研发出药物来控制人体内产生蛋白质从而战胜普通感冒病毒。故选B。

56．句意：2010年，成都成为第一个被联合国教科文组织评为"美食之都"的亚洲城市。空处做谓语，时间发生在过去，故用become的过去形式，故填became。
57．句意：古老的寺庙、传统的小巷和历史悠久的建筑打开了一扇通往古代中国的窗户，带你进入一个过去令人印象深刻的美丽世界。分析句子结构,可知take在此处应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语its ancient temples, traditional alleys and historic architecture构成主动关系，故用take的现在分词形式，故填taking。
58．句意：这座城市有着雄心勃勃的计划，要成为中国西南地区的科学之城。plan为名词，应用形容词修饰。故填ambition的形容词形式，故填ambitious。
59．句意：这座城市以辛辣的食物而闻名。be known for...，固定搭配 "以...而闻名"，故填for。
60．句意：这座城市以辛辣的食物而闻名，大胆的风味和数百年的烹饪传统结合在一起，提供满足于所有场景的晚餐体验。此处为定语从句，从句缺主语，先行词指物，可用that/which引导，故填that/which。
61．句意：成都最受欢迎的食物，如麻婆豆腐和火锅，是味觉盛宴。feast为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且feast发音是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用a，故填a。
62．句意：放在餐桌上的热源使一锅汤料沸腾，锅旁摆放着各种中国食品和食材，供食客放入热汤料中。分析句子结构可知，place在此处应填非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语a heat source构成逻辑上的被动形式，故用place的过去分词形式，故填placed。
63．句意：放在餐桌上的热源使一锅汤料沸腾，锅旁摆放着各种中国食品和食材，供食客放入热汤料中。ingredient为可数名词，与前面foodstuffs形成并列关系，故也用复数形式，故填ingredients。
64．句意：这场体育盛会是一个机会，不仅展示了成都的体育精神、世界级的基础设施、温暖和组织技巧，也促进了友谊和跨文化理解。not only......but also.......为固定短语，"不仅......而且......"，前后需保持一致，故此处应填show的动词不定式，故填to show。
65．句意：这场体育盛会是一个机会，不仅展示了成都的体育精神、世界级的基础设施、温暖和组织技巧，也促进了友谊和跨文化理解。warm为形容词"温暖的"，此空与Chengdu's sporting spirit, world-class infrastructure和organizational skill构成了并列关系，故应用warm的名词形式，故填warmth。

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。
When I arrived at the large hospital kitchen at 6 a.m., Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘).
"Hi, I'm Janet." I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. "I'm scheduled to work with you this week."
Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.
"What do you want me to do Start with the coffee " I asked.
Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled, "That's not the way to make coffee." She stepped in and took over.
Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.
Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. "What shall I do " The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.
Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things in Rose's way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.
注意：
1)续写词数应为150左右;
2)请按如下格式作答。
One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room.
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.
【答案】Instead of her blue uniform, she was wearing street clothes. I looked at her in surprise. "Aren't you working today " "I've got another job and won't be working here any more," she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. "I just come here to say goodbye. You are the one person I will truly miss. You are the one person I wish I could take with me." Then she turned abruptly and walked out of the door.
That summer, I learned a lesson I've never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose: annoying, demanding, unlovable on the outside, yet hurting inside. Just as the saying goes, "Every rose has its thorn." And every man's character has a part that you can't stand. I've found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose.
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，作者讲述了自己的暑期兼职经历，领悟到要善待不好相处的人。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：一天，当我一个人在医院的厨房里工作时，罗斯走进了房间……所以后文应该写作者和罗斯相见的情况。第二段开头是：虽然我再也没有见过罗丝，但我仍然清楚地记得她……从而描述记得罗斯的原因。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如："I've got another job and won't be working here any more," she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. 运用了时间状语从句；I just come here to say goodbye. 运用了不定式作目的状语； You are the one person I will truly miss. 运用了限制性定语从句； You are the one person I wish I could take with me.运用了限制性定语从句，宾语从句，虚拟语气；That summer, I learned a lesson I've never forgotten. 运用了宾语从句；Just as the saying goes, "Every rose has its thorn." 运用了非限制性定语从句，名言警句；And every man's character has a part that you can't stand.运用了限制性定语从句； I've found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose.运用了宾语从句，不定式作定语。
