It’s never easy to explain that a family member is kept in prison, and it can be especially hard for children. This touching book draws on the author’s own childhood to tell the story of a young girl whose brother is in prison. What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news And will he still love her A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8)
Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho)
This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world — and how we see ourselves. (For ages 4 to 8)

Written in poetry, this book shows us the pandemic through a child’s eyes and helps remind us that responsibility and caring for one another is something we all can do. (For ages 8 to 12)
Listen to the Language of the Trees (Tera Kelly, illustrated by Marie Hermansson)

In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.
Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China.
Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed.
In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”
Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
24. What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning
A. Warm temperatures in local villages.
B. The number and size of the butterflies.
C. Improper location of the butterfly valley.
D. Lack of awareness of butterfly protection.
25. What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean
A. A choice difficult to make.
B. A fact easy to understand.
C. A duty hard to carry out.
D. A situation smooth to deal with.
26. Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen
A. Honest and professional. B. Humorous and creative.
C. Hard-working and strong-willed. D. Generous and easy-going.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Changing the Poor State of a Town
B. Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian
C. Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings
D. Developing a Relationship with the Locals
C
In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
28. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2
A. Solve uncertain matters.
B. Summarize a key principle.
C. Concentrate on related things.
D. Make decisions independently.
29. Why is the book a practical guide to readers
A. To provide readers with life values.
B. To help readers express philosophy.
C. To improve readers’ critical thinking skills.
D. To equip readers with decision-making skills.
30. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A. Definition of simplicity. B. Rules of making decisions.
C. Benefits of stressing clarity. D. Influences of decision-making.
31. What is the article aimed at
A. Recommending a book. B. Sharing a positive attitude.
C. Describing a simple lifestyle. D. Solving philosophical problems.
D
The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday proposed maximum limits for the amount of lead (铅) in baby foods, after years of studies revealed that many processed products contained levels known to pose a risk to baby health.
“This is really important progress for babies,” said Scott Faber, vice president of public affairs for the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that had advised the agency (机构) to take action to remove metals from foods. “We were thankful that F.D.A. has made reducing poisonous metals in baby food a priority (优先事项).”
The new limits, aimed at foods for children under 2, do not deal with grain-based snacks that have also been found to contain high levels of heavy metals. And they do not limit other metals, like cadmium, which the agency and many consumer groups have found in baby foods in previous years.
Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a nonprofit, called the guidelines disappointing. “It doesn’t go far enough to protect babies from neurodevelopmental (神经发育的) damage from lead exposures,” she said. “Lead is in almost every baby food we’ve tested, and the action levels that F.D.A. has set will influence almost none of that food.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said there is no safe level of lead for children, who more readily absorb the heavy metal.
The agency estimated that the proposed levels could reduce the dietary (饮食的) exposure to lead for some young children by about 25 percent. However, according to the F.D.A., even low levels of lead exposure in children can lead to “learning disabilities, behavior difficulties and lowered I.Q”.
Lead is everywhere in the environment from decades of uncontrolled use in gasoline for cars, farm machinery, aircraft and paint, said Tracey Woodruff, a scientist at the University of California.
Mr. Faber said the new guideline would cause food companies to encourage suppliers to change their farming practices to reduce the lead levels in food. “I think that past history has shown that farmers and food companies are very quickly able to change how they grow and process these ingredients to meet tougher standards,” he said.
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The purposes of the guidelines. B. The benefits of the guidelines.
C. The disadvantages of the guidelines. D. The functions of the guidelines.
33. Why does the guideline disappoint Jane Houlihan
A. It aims at all kinds of poisonous metals.
B. It only focuses on reducing the amount of lead.
C. It fails to protect children from lead exposures.
D. It encourages farmers to deal with snacks with heavy metals.
34.Which of the following best describes Mr. Faber’s attitude towards the guideline
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Unclear.
35. What change may the guideline bring directly according to the last paragraph
A. The way of farming.
B. The lifestyle of the farmers.
C. The supplies of food.
D. The management of the food companies.

Most mornings, the sun rose to greet the day and the bird sang its songs outside an upstairs window of the house. Inside the house Ollie and Noah would wake up. The brother and sister usually got along very well. They took turns nicely with the bathroom. They said “please” and “thank you at breakfast. They often sat together on the school bus. And after school they worked together happily on their special project — their own backyard house.
But one gray morning they didn’t get along well at all! Maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was because the bird slept late. But whatever it was, they got into a big fight.
Noah opened her eyes and stretched. Then she sat up and let her legs dangle (垂悬) over the edge of her bed-right in Ollie’s face. She didn’t do it to be rude. It was just one of those things that happens with bunk beds (双层床).
But that morning Ollie was not in a very good mood.
“Noah!” he shouted. “Get your stupid feet out of my face!”
“My feet aren’t stupid, and they’re not in your face!” she shouted back
Before Ollie could answer, she skipped into the bathroom ahead of him. She took a very long time brushing her teeth, washing up, and combing her hair.
“You’d better come out of that bathroom!” shouted Ollie, banging on the door.
“Ollie,” said Mama, coming out of her bedroom, “you know better than to shout at your sister.”
“But she’s taking too long in the bathroom,” complained Ollie, “and she’s doing it on purpose!”
When Ollie raised his fist to bang on the door again, it opened and out came Noah, all dressed up.
“Good morning, Mama,” she said, as nice as you please.
Paragraph 1:
Ollie and Noah kept on being mean to each other that day.
Paragraph 2:
“I’ve had quite enough of this foolish fighting.”said Mama seriously.高一（下）期末适应性考试

In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.
Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China.
Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed.
In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”
Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
24. What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning
A. Warm temperatures in local villages.
B. The number and size of the butterflies.
C. Improper location of the butterfly valley.
D. Lack of awareness of butterfly protection.
25. What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean
A. A choice difficult to make. B. A fact easy to understand.
C. A duty hard to carry out. D. A situation smooth to deal with.
26. Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen
A. Honest and professional. B. Humorous and creative.
C. Hard-working and strong-willed. D. Generous and easy-going.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Changing the Poor State of a Town
B. Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian
C. Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings
D. Developing a Relationship with the Locals
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed. (大约20年前，村民们对蝴蝶保护知之甚少，错误地认为蝴蝶会危害他们的粮食作物。他们认为它们是应该消灭的害虫)”可知，缺乏保护蝴蝶的意识让杨想要达成人与蝴蝶和谐的目标在一开始变得困难。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies”以及“However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects”可知，一方面当地村民为了保护自己的庄稼，经常使用杀虫剂来杀死蝴蝶，另一方面杨振文对这些生物真挚的爱迫使他阻止他们伤害这些脆弱的昆虫。即他面临一个很难做出的选择。故划线词意思是“一个很难做出的选择”。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies.( 1998年，杨在蝴蝶谷所在的马安地乡农业科学站开始了他的旅程)”以及最后一段“Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township.

He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.(如今，依托蝴蝶资源开发生态旅游，成功地改变了这个曾经极度贫困的小镇。越来越多的村民开始繁殖蝴蝶。他将蝴蝶谷描述为“造梦机器”，延伸了人与自然和谐共处的“蝴蝶梦)”可推知，杨振文工作努力，意志坚强。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.(每年春末夏初，在中国西南部云南省的蝴蝶谷，数以千万计的蝴蝶从蛹中出来。对于蝴蝶专家杨振文来说，这是一年中最忙的时候，但他却以极大的热情迎接它)”结合文章主要介绍了蝴蝶专家杨振文多年来致力于保护蝴蝶，描述了他为蝴蝶的保护工作付出的努力。可知，C选项“帮助蝴蝶展翅”最符合文章标题。故选C。

In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from putting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
28. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2
A. Solve uncertain matters.
B. Summarize a key principle.
C. Concentrate on related things.
D. Make decisions independently.
29. Why is the book a practical guide to readers
A. To provide readers with life values.
B. To help readers express philosophy.
C. To improve readers’ critical thinking skills.
D. To equip readers with decision-making skills.

A. Recommending a book. B. Sharing a positive attitude.

The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday proposed maximum limits for the amount of lead (铅) in baby foods, after years of studies revealed that many processed products contained levels known to pose a risk to baby health.
“This is really important progress for babies,” said Scott Faber, vice president of public affairs for the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that had advised the agency (机构) to take action to remove metals from foods. “We were thankful that F.D.A. has made reducing poisonous metals in baby food a priority (优先事项).”
The new limits, aimed at foods for children under 2, do not deal with grain-based snacks that have also been found to contain high levels of heavy metals. And they do not limit other metals, like cadmium, which the agency and many consumer groups have found in baby foods in previous years.
Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies Bright Futures, a nonprofit, called the guidelines disappointing. “It doesn’t go far enough to protect babies from neurodevelopmental (神经发育的) damage from lead exposures,” she said. “Lead is in almost every baby food we’ve tested, and the action levels that F.D.A. has set will influence almost none of that food.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said there is no safe level of lead for children, who more readily absorb the heavy metal.
The agency estimated that the proposed levels could reduce the dietary (饮食的) exposure to lead for some young children by about 25 percent. However, according to the F.D.A., even low levels of lead exposure in children can lead to “learning disabilities, behavior difficulties and lowered I.Q”.
Lead is everywhere in the environment from decades of uncontrolled use in gasoline for cars, farm machinery, aircraft and paint, said Tracey Woodruff, a scientist at the University of California.
Mr. Faber said the new guideline would cause food companies to encourage suppliers to change their farming practices to reduce the lead levels in food. “I think that past history has shown that farmers and food companies are very quickly able to change how they grow and process these ingredients to meet tougher standards,” he said.
32. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The purposes of the guidelines. B. The benefits of the guidelines.
C. The disadvantages of the guidelines. D. The functions of the guidelines.
33. Why does the guideline disappoint Jane Houlihan
A. It aims at all kinds of poisonous metals.
B. It only focuses on reducing the amount of lead.
C. It fails to protect children from lead exposures.
D. It encourages farmers to deal with snacks with heavy metals.
34.Which of the following best describes Mr. Faber’s attitude towards the guideline
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Cautious. D. Unclear.
35. What change may the guideline bring directly according to the last paragraph
A. The way of farming.
B. The lifestyle of the farmers.
C. The supplies of food.
D. The management of the food companies.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国食品和药物管理局提出了婴儿食品中铅的最高限量，但人们对该指导方针看法不一。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The new limits, aimed at foods for children under 2, do not deal with grain-based snacks that have also been found to contain high levels of heavy metals. And they do not limit other metals, like cadmium, which the agency and many consumer groups have found in baby foods in previous years.（新的限制针对的是两岁以下儿童的食品，不包括谷物零食，这些零食也被发现含有高浓度的重金属。此外，它们也不限制镉等其他金属，该机构和许多消费者团体在前几年就在婴儿食品中发现了镉）”可知，第三段指出了该指导方针的缺点。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It doesn’t go far enough to protect babies from neurodevelopmental (神经发育的) damage from lead exposures（它不足以保护婴儿免受铅暴露造成的神经发育损伤）”和“Lead is in almost every baby food we’ve tested, and the action levels that F.D.A. has set will influence almost none of that food.（我们测试过的几乎所有婴儿食品都含有铅，而F.D.A.设定的行动水平几乎不会影响到这些食品）”可知，Jane Houlihan之所以对指南失望，是因为它没能保护儿童免受铅接触。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mr. Faber said the new guideline would cause food companies to encourage suppliers to change their farming practices to reduce the lead levels in food.（ 费伯说，新的指导方针将促使食品公司鼓励供应商改变他们的耕作方式，以降低食品中的铅含量。）”可知，费伯先生对指导方针的态度是“积极的”。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I think that past history has shown that farmers and food companies are very quickly able to change how they grow and process these ingredients to meet tougher standards,（ 我认为，过去的历史表明，农民和食品公司能够很快改变他们种植和加工这些成分的方式，以满足更严格的标准）”可知，指导方针可能直接带来“耕种方式”的变化。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。朱彦军—— 2023年中国诗歌比赛的亚军，本文讲述了他的人生经历以及他对中国古代诗歌的喜爱。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：1992年初中毕业后，他停止了学业，离开了家乡——甘肃省静宁县的一个村庄，开始外出打工。分析句子，句中stopped为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词作状语。he和graduate之间是主动关系，可以表示该动作发生在谓语动词stopped之前，故使用现在分词的完成式结构，即having graduated；或者两个几乎同时发生，故使用现在分词一般式graduating。同时该空置于句首，首字母大写。故填Having graduated/Graduating。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。句中village为名词，此处表示泛指，village首字母为辅音音素，故设空处使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意：在过去的30年里，尽管白天工作繁忙，但他一直在业余时间追求自己对诗歌的热爱。设空处使用连词连接前后两个句子，此处表示让步关系，故使用although/though/while引导让步状语从句。故填although/though/while。
【59题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：今年，他终于出现在中国诗歌比赛中，并获得了第二名，让观众对他的才华印象深刻。宾语the audience和非谓语动词impress是被动关系，是leave sb.+done，使用过去分词作宾补成分，意为“留下某人某种状态”，此处表示“印象深刻的”用impressed。故填impressed。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意：朱彦军对诗歌的热爱贯穿于他生活的方方面面。分析句子，设空处使用不可数名词enthusiasm作主语。故填enthusiasm。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：他在10多个城市工作，但无论他在哪里，他都会去当地的书店，随身带着笔记本，以便抄写诗歌。分析句子，设空处使用代词宾格him作宾语。故填him。
【62题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：多年来，他读了上千首诗，能背诵其中的1000多首。句中over the years为现在完成时时间标志，表示动作从过去发生持续到现在。主语为he为第三人称单数。故填has read。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今年3月，朱彦军得到了一个在静宁县文化中心工作的机会，这让他有更多的时间去探索这些诗的背后。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a chance，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：同上。设空处引导的是宾语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，意为“诗歌背后的什么”，用连接代词what。故填what。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：朱彦军希望能激励身边更多的人去探索阅读的美。句中inspire sb. to do sth.为固定短语，意为“鼓励某人去做某事”使用不定式肯定结构。故填to explore。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两端，使之构成一个完整的故事。续写词数应为150左右。
Most mornings, the sun rose to greet the day and the bird sang its songs outside an upstairs window of the house. Inside the house Ollie and Noah would wake up. The brother and sister usually got along very well. They took turns nicely with the bathroom. They said “please” and “thank you at breakfast. They often sat together on the school bus. And after school they worked together happily on their special project — their own backyard house.
But one gray morning they didn’t get along well at all! Maybe it was the weather, or maybe it was because the bird slept late. But whatever it was, they got into a big fight.
Noah opened her eyes and stretched. Then she sat up and let her legs dangle (垂悬) over the edge of her bed-right in Ollie’s face. She didn’t do it to be rude. It was just one of those things that happens with bunk beds (双层床).
But that morning Ollie was not in a very good mood.
“Noah!” he shouted. “Get your stupid feet out of my face!”
“My feet aren’t stupid, and they’re not in your face!” she shouted back
Before Ollie could answer, she skipped into the bathroom ahead of him. She took a very long time brushing her teeth, washing up, and combing her hair.
“You’d better come out of that bathroom!” shouted Ollie, banging on the door.
“Ollie,” said Mama, coming out of her bedroom, “you know better than to shout at your sister.”
“But she’s taking too long in the bathroom,” complained Ollie, “and she’s doing it on purpose!”
When Ollie raised his fist to bang on the door again, it opened and out came Noah, all dressed up.
“Good morning, Mama,” she said, as nice as you please.
Paragraph 1:
Ollie and Noah kept on being mean to each other that day.
Paragraph 2:
“I’ve had quite enough of this foolish fighting.”said Mama seriously.
【答案】
Ollie and Noah kept on being mean to each other that day. They didn’t say “please” and “thank you” at breakfast, because they weren’t speaking to each other. And they didn’t sit together on the school bus. Noah sat in the front and Ollie in the back. That afternoon they made a line down the middle of their backyard house to show which half was whose. Later they even took back the things they usually shared. So angry were the brother and sister that they began shouting at each other even louder than before, totally forgetting they weren’t speaking.
“I’ve had quite enough of this foolish fighting,” said Mama seriously. “How on earth did you get into a fight ” inquired Mama. The kids tried to remember, but they couldn’t. Mama took them into her lap and shared, “Everybody gets into an argument once in a while — even those who love each other very much. We get angry, even call each other names and say things we really don’t mean — and after a while it’s over.” So Ollie and Noah hugged, made up, and got along just beautifully until the next time, anyway.
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述的是两个小孩，Ollie和Noah的一次争吵。文章开始时说他们通常都很和睦，但是某个早晨他们起了争执，从清晨洗漱开始，持续到了学校和他们的后院小屋。他们甚至都不愿意分享东西，并且大声对吵，完全忘记了他们曾经决定不再说话。最后，他们的母亲说她已经受够了这种愚蠢的战斗，并让他们理解就算是非常爱对方的人也会有争吵的时候。最后，Ollie和Noah拥抱并和解，重新恢复了以前的友好关系。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“那天Ollie和Noah继续对彼此刻薄。”可知，第一段可描写作Ollie和Noah二人继续争吵，并且惹得妈妈很生气。
②由第二段首句内容“我受够了这种愚蠢的争吵，妈妈严肃地说。”可知，第二段可描写母亲对二人进行开导，同时描写二人最终和好了。
2.续写线索：兄妹俩冷战——吵架——妈妈劝解——和好——感悟
3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达）
行为类
①坐在一起：sit together/get around together/be seated together
②大喊：shout/scream with loud voice
③打仗：get into a fight/fight with sb
情绪类
①生气：so angry /get annoyed
②拥抱：hug/give a hug
【点睛】[高分句型1]They didn’t say “please” and “thank you” at breakfast, because they weren’t speaking to each other.（由连接词because引导原因状语从句）
[高分句型2] So angry were the brother and sister that they began shouting at each other even louder than before, totally forgetting they weren’t speaking.（运用了部分倒装的结构以及现在分词作状语）

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the White House! I’ll be your guide today. The building known as the White House is the home of the president of the United States and his family. The president also has his office here. In 1790, America’s first president, George Washington, wanted to build a new presidential home. A competition was held to find a designer to build it. Architect James Hoban won the contest. He planned a building of grayish-white sandstone. The color gave the house its name. Work started in 1792. But the house was not ready before the end of President Washington’s term. America’s second president, John Adams, and his wife moved into the house on Nov 1, 1800. By then, the building had six completed rooms. Many of the rooms were still empty when John Adams left office a few months later. Other presidents tried to complete the White House. But the British burned it down during the War of 1812. The White House was rebuilt after that war. Since then, it has been enlarged, repaired and almost totally rebuilt. Today, the White House has 132 rooms. Visitors can walk through some of the public ones.
