A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." "The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated.

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.

"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"

"Oh yes, I'd love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.

Paragraph1:

He ran up the steps.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then pointing to the car. 'There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.

Paragraph 2:

Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining eyed older brother climbed in beside him. The older brother gently fastened the safety belt for his brother and politely asked, 'Mister, would you mind continuing driving around?" Deeply touched, Paul happily drove the car on the road again. That Christmas Eve, the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve was the happiest time that Paul had ever spent, because he learned what Jesus meant when he had said: "It is more blessed to give..."

【解析】

这是一篇读后续写。文章主要讲述了,一个男孩看到保罗哥哥送给他的圣诞礼物——一辆新车,这个男孩希望自己也可以像保罗的哥哥那样,给自己的弟弟送圣诞节礼物。

续写分为两段,第一段的开头是:他跑上台阶。所以可以接着写:他走上台阶,过了一会又跑回来,然后对着他的弟弟说:“瞧,这就是我给你说的那辆车。他哥哥送给他的圣诞节礼物,他一分钱都没花。以后我也像他的哥哥一样,把你想要的、最好的东西送给你。”第二段的开头是:保罗下车,把小男孩抱到前坐上。所以可以接着写:保罗说:“今天我是你们的大哥哥,我载着你们去逛一圈。” 哥哥听了,很感动。保罗开心地围着小区转了几圈,兄弟俩也很开心。他们三个度过了一个快乐难忘的圣诞节前夜。保罗也明白了:当快乐被分成几份时,更快乐。

续写时应注意时态,直接引语和间接引语的运用。

【题目】 The past 70 years have been good for corn production in the Midwestern United States, with yields increasing fivefold since the 1940s. Much of this improvement has been credited to advances in farming technology but researchers at Harvard University are asking if changes in climate and local temperature may be playing a bigger role than previously thought.

In a newspaper, researchers find that a prolonged(延长的) growing season due to increased temperatures, combined with the natural cooling effects of large fields of plants, have had a major contribution to improved corn production in the U.S. “Our research shows that improvements in crop yields depend, in part, on improvements in climate,” said Peter Huybers, professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences. “In this case, changing temperatures have had a beneficial impact on agricultural production, but there is no guarantee that benefit will last as the climate continues to change.

Understanding the detailed relationships between climate and crop yields is important as we move towards feeding a growing population on a changing planet. ” The researchers modeled the relationship between temperature and crop yields from 1981 to 2017 across the so-called Corn Belt. They found that as temperatures increased due to global climate change, planting days got earlier and earlier, shifting by about three days per decade. Early planting means the corn has more time to mature before the end of the growing season.

There is also a second, more surprising trend that has benefited corn yields. Whereas the vast majority of temperatures have warmed over the last century, the hottest days during the Midwestern growing season have actually cooled.

The researchers estimate that more than one quarter of the increase in crop yields since 1981 can be attributed to the twin effects of a longer growing season and less exposure to high temperatures, suggesting that the crop yield is more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.

The researchers also show that the planting and harvest dates farmers currently use is significantly better adapted to the present climate than it would be to climates in earlier decades.

1What is previously thought to be the reason for the increase of corn production?

A.Local temperature change.B.Advanced farming technology.

C.Climate change.D.Production efficiency.

2Why is it important to understand the relationships between climate and crop yield?

A.The climate has a beneficial impact on agriculture.

B.We can change the climate to improve crop yield.

C.We depend on the climate to get food.

D.Crop yield relies less on the climate.

3How many factors that benefit corn yields are mentioned in the text?

A.4.B.3.

C.2.D.1.

4What is the main purpose of the text?

A.To explain a mystery.B.To question a common sense.

C.To show a new trend.D.To introduce a research result.

【题目】 Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. 1 So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed.

1. Practice defensive(保护的)driving.

Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. 2 Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes.

2. 3

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. 4 And it pays to be ready when you do.

3. Don’t follow too closely.

Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “three-second rule”.

4. Be more careful in bad weather.

5 Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a safe place to wait out the storm.

A.Wear your safety belt.

B.Watch out for other drivers.

C.Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish.

D.The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors.

E.If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful.

F.Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea.

G.If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.

【题目】 Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the 2018 World Happiness Report of 156 nations.

The report, released Wednesday by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well-being: income, freedom, trust, life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country’s immigrants.

The U.S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place, and last year’s winner, Norway, came in second place — followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in sixth place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 nations changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report.

“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of immigrants and the locally born,” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”

Other major world powers placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the UK was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.

The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before World Happiness Day on March 20, when the UN declared to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”.

1The US ranked in 2017.

A.14B.10

C.18D.22

2What is the most significant finding of the report?

A.That immigrants are different from residents in the country.

B.That immigrants come from countries with different levels of happiness.

C.That immigrants become happy when they leave the country.

D.That immigrants and locals feel the similar level of happiness.

3What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Happiness is no less important than any other aspect in life.

B.People’s happiness and well-being should be considered when it comes to policy-making.

C.The happiness report came under a week before World Happiness Day.

D.What the UN declared was beneficial to all human beings.

4What is the best title of the passage?

A.World Happiness Day.B.Happiness — forever pursuit.

C.What's your happiness index(指数)?D.The 2018 World Happiness Report.
