And Aunt Beatrice loved birthdays. Together, they'd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They selected a theme every year and stuck to it. Her fourteenth had been the “Snow White” and her ninth had been the “Frozen”. They never told her what the theme was the day before. She'd just wake up her birthday morning, a brand new birthday outfit (一套服装) laid neatly on her dresser (an outfit related to the theme, of course) and she would open her door to see the adventure that lay ahead of her that day. Mya had a few guesses as to what this year’s theme would be. A play on the words “Sweet Sixteen” was likely — a candy themed party, perhaps? But she’d had a baking party a few years ago — and Helena was anything but repetitive. Mya didn't have any interest in cars, so she doubted a sports-car party was on the menu. She’d tried to look through her mother’s purchase history online, but her mother had been careful enough to delete everything recent. So the only clue left was the birthday outfit she would receive the next morning. May 1st, Mya woke. The bright sunlight begged her eyes to open and she loved the day that her birthday took place. It was always nice out on May 1st and it never rained. This morning was no different than her previous birthdays. She sat up in her bed and looked to her dresser before slipping out of bed and inspecting the outfit. She unfolded it and held it against her body, seeing how it was like. It reached down, just above the ankle. Mya dressed, eyed herself in the mirror and found it was not so much a pretty outfit as she had received before. It was totally one for blue-collar workers!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。Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】例文1:Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. Helena walked in. “What is my birthday theme this year, mum?” Mya asked. “Labor!” Helena answered in a firm voice. “But I was expecting a party!” her voice sounded shaky. Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labor’s Day! Mya’s feet brought her small steps to follow Helena to the van. On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itself. Their job was to remove the weeds.With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Several drops of sweat traced a path on her red and pink cheeks and she turned to Helena: “this is not bad, mum and I feel I’ve grown up enough to help you with something.” Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big kiss on her forehead. The sun in May was shining brighter than ever like a fire ball. Picturing the good harvest of this year, they hit the road with a happy birthday song echoing in the van.例文 2:Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a knock. “Is the birthday girl up?” Helena asked. Mya opened her bedroom door and surprisingly found they looked the same! Looking at Mya’s surprised face, Helena grinned and led her to the kitchen. There was no meal on the table. “Let’s prepare for the party together this time.” Aunt Beatrice said gladly dressed in the same outfit. It suddenly occurred to Mya that the theme this year was supposed to be “Sweet Labor, Sweet Sixteen”.With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Looking around the living room, Mya felt the happiness brought by labor the first time. “Happy Birthday!” Mya turned around in surprise. All of her friends jumped out of any hiding spots with everyone wearing the same outfit. They enjoyed the party and cleaned up together afterwards. Tired as Mya was, she pulled Helena and Beatrice into a hug tightly, saying “this is the best sweet sixteen ever.”【解析】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲的是Mya的妈妈和阿姨喜欢为她办生日派对，Mya一直在猜测她16岁生日派对的主题，可是没有结果，只能等生日那天早上看梳妆台上的衣服，那天早上她穿上衣服后发现自己完全是一个蓝领工人。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“突然，敲门声打断了她的思绪。”可知，第一段可描写Mya的妈妈告诉Mya今年生日的主题。②由第二段首句内容“一切都做完了，她的脸上露出了甜蜜的微笑。”可知，第二段可描写Mya劳动后的感受。2.续写线索：告知主题——到农场劳动——劳动后的感受——回家3.词汇激活行为类①回答：answer/respond②到达：arrive at/get to③掠过：trace a path/skim over情绪类①坚定的：firm/determined②糟糕的：bad/terrible【点睛】[高分句型1]Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labor’s Day!(由that引导的宾语从句，省略了that)[高分句型2]On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itself.（由关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句）02It was early spring and Nana was in the backyard with her grandchildren. Amy, Michael, and Justin were playing when Nana said, “I’m going to start planting my garden. Who wants to help me?”“What are going to plant, Nana?” asked Amy. “I like big, yellow sunflowers.”“I’m going to plant vegetables. That way we can have them to eat when they are ready,” said Nana.“How long does that take?” asked Michael. He liked vegetables sometimes, especially carrots.“It will take a few months before anything is ready to eat,” answered Nana. The children were surprised.“Months? Why would you do all that work and then have to wait so long?” asked Amy. “You should just go to the store and buy them.”“Patience, my sweeties! Don’t you know food always tastes best when you grow it yourself?” replied Nana. “And if all of you come to help, it won’t be too much work.”“I’ll help you, Nana,” offered Justin. He put down the soccer ball and went to look at the gardening tools Nana had laid out. “What do we do first?” Michael and Amy came over to look, too. Nana taught Justin how to use a trowel (小铲子) to dig small rows of holes for the seeds. Next, Nana showed Amy how to pour the seeds into each hole. And it was Michael’s job to cover up the holes with soil. Finally, Amy wrote the vegetable names on sticks that Justin pushed into the ground. “This way we can remember which vegetable seeds we have planted,” said Nana.When they had planted everything, the children took turns filling up the watering can so that Nana could make the soil nice and wet for the seeds to start to grow. “Now we just water them a little every day, and with some time and sunshine, we’ll have some delicious things to eat in the summer,” said Nana.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。Whenever the grandchildren came to visit, they would dash into the garden.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Finally, Nana said it was time for the first harvest.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Possible version1 :Whenever the grandchildren came to visit, they would dash into the garden. Not surprisingly, they were going to see how the garden was growing. After watering the vegetables, they would remove the weeds that popped up around the plants and apply organic fertilizer under Nana's instruction if necessary. As time went by, the plants were growing taller and stronger. When they noticed the vegetables flowering and producing fruits, their eyes were sparkling like diamonds. Never had they looked forward to summer like this before. But they clearly knew that it's worthwhile to wait for the inviting results.Finally, Nana said it was time for the first harvest. Hearing that, the children all jumped into the air and cheers filled the whole garden. Nana gave them each baskets and, together they gathered some of the cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes, which were turned into delicacies. “Who wants to help eat this fresh salad?” Nana asked. “Me!” everyone responded loudly. Tasting the salad, they thought nothing could be more delicious, because it was they who grew these vegetables. They all learned that many hands make light work and patience really pays off. Possible version 2 :Whenever the grandchildren came to visit, they would dash into the garden. Eager to help grow the vegetables well, they first took turns to water the plants. Then Nana showed them which plants needed trimming or which needed tying up to grow tall and straight. Day after day, spring turned into summer and finally, the plants started revealing their colorful secrets. The children were thrilled to see the tomatoes turning red, the cucumbers hiding under the green leaves and the peppers growing bigger. Not until then did they realize that Nana was right-- all they needed was patience. Finally, Nana said it was time for the first harvest. With baskets ready, Nana and the children started out on their business. Nana took them around the garden and picked some tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and cabbages. Then for the following hour, they were busying making vegetable salad. The children helped wash the dirt off the food while Nana chopped up the vegetables. When Nana asked who wanted to try the fresh salad, everyone expressed their willingness excitedly. “OK. Amy, get the plates. Justin, get the water and cups, and Michael, get the forks. Let's celebrate the harvest!”【解析】本文以奶奶和孙子们在后院一起种植蔬菜为线索展开，讲述了那年早春，娜娜和她的孙子们在后院，艾米、迈克尔和贾斯汀正在玩耍，奶奶提出要种植蔬菜，一开始孙子们建议奶奶去商店买，因为自己种植蔬菜要做那么多工作，然后还要等这么长时间，奶奶让孙子们耐心点，因为自己种的食物总是味道最好的，奶奶认为如果大家都来帮忙，工作也不会太多。孙子们听了都乐意来帮忙，奶奶给孙子们分了工，奶奶耐心教导，当他们把所有的东西都种好后，孩子们轮流往水罐里灌满水，这样奶奶就能把土壤弄湿，让种子开始生长。奶奶说只要每天给它们浇水，再加上一些时间和阳光，夏天就可以吃到美味的东西了。【详解】段落续写（以version1为例）：①由第一段首句内容“每当孙子们来拜访时，他们都会冲进花园。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们怎样照顾这些植物们，以及看着蔬菜开花并结出果实时的兴奋心情。②由第二段首句内容“最后，娜娜说是第一次收获的时候了。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们听到消息的喜悦之情，他们一起收集蔬菜，并把这些变成了美味佳肴，们认为没有什么比这更美味了，付出总有回报。续写线索：冲进花园——看如何生长——照顾花园——开花结果——高兴词汇激活行为类①冲进：dash into   /storm in②除草：remove weeds/clean out weeds③注意：notice/note/find情绪类：①骄傲地：loudly/with pride②兴奋：jump into the air/ be up in the air【点睛】[高分句型1].

Their dad was good at most things, too. But there was one thing the twins and Dad were not good at—that was chores. It wasn’t that Dad and the twins didn’t want to do their chores. It was just that they always seemed to have reasons not to do them. And they had such good excuses.“You’re right, my dear,” said Mum. “The grass does need cutting. But a spider has spun a wonderful web on the lawn mower and I haven’t the heart to put all her hard work to waste.”“Mum,” said Jenna, “I know it’s my week to put up my cards. It’s just that I’m waiting for them to dry. They’ll be easier to scoop up that way.”“Mum,” said Jeff, “may I skip setting the table tonight? There’s a TV show on the Ice Age, and I have to do a report on the Beast of Baluchistan.”There were also the endless quarrels about who did what and who got the easy job. Mum sighed. If only Dad and the twins were as good at doing their chores as they were at arguing about them, life would be easier. Talking of chores, Mum thought instead of pushing them for chores, it would be a lot easier to do them herself. And that was what she did. She put away all cards and set and cleared the table. She chased the dust bunnies from under the furniture and cleaned up the twins’ messy room.The twins did pick up and put away things occasionally. Dad did cut the grass once in a while. Not surprisingly, things began to slide. Everybody got a little unhappy, especially Mum, who spent much time doing chores. Something had to be done.

The whole family enjoyed themselves and not worrying about chores worked pretty well at first. But bit by bit, messy build-up began to take up the house.Living in all that messy build-up wasn’t much fun. Dad decided to host a family meeting, too. No sooner had the meeting begun than everybody decided to do something about the awful mess. They picked up all the wet towels. They got the dishes out of the sink and banished the dust bunnies.

I was tired of Aunt Letty talking on and on about her chickens, horses and cows. Worse, I was afraid of having to spend spring break at her farm.In spite of my protest, my parents decided that spending time at the farm would be a great experience for me. My parents both grew up on farms and believed that responsibility, hard work and respect for the land were valuable lessons. “Lessons you need to learn, son,” they said.“So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn my attention away from my phone.“Hmmm, no. But I’ve seen horses on TV,” I answered, absent-minded.“Well, we’ve got a nice horse I think you’ll like. Hercules — sounds like a beast, but he’s a gentle giant. The other animals have names too, but don’t worry, you won’t have to remember their names. If you show up at the gate with feed, they’re happy!” she said smiling.I glanced at my aunt, angry that I was expected to work. Vacations were meant for sleeping late, playing video games, and maybe skateboarding. I tried to text a friend.“Phones don’t work well out here. With all the hills and valleys, it’s hard to get a connection.”I continued texting, but she was right — there was no cell reception.The next few days were busy. We had breakfast before dawn. Then we went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were occupied with hauling hay, clean-up, and caring for the animals. The animals depended on Aunt Letty, but they also provided her with affection and necessities such as eggs, milk and cheese.At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and said, “Just take a deep breath of the sweet country air!” I, exhausted, was unable to appreciate my work.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。On the fourth day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.”________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After the ride, time at the farm seemed to be different.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Para 1: On the fourth day, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” “You must be joking!” I responded, a flush of fright sweeping over me. Aunt Letty, grinning, headed to the stable. Then in front of me was Hercules, standing over 2 meters high. A horrible dark giant! I backed away, shooting an angry glance at my aunt. “Oh, man, come on! He’s anything but a beast!” she encouraged me. Sensing her insistence, I scratched my head and shuffled to Hercules. Aunt Letty helped me mount the horse and handed me the rein. Flicking his head and shaking his body, Hercules moved off, with a stiff me on it. "Relax!" Aunt said, trotting just beside us. Gradually, I adjusted myself, following Aunt’s instructions. And then, I was enjoying the gentle rhythmic jolts.Para 2: After the ride, time at the farm seemed to be different. I had a friend, Hercules. The gentle giant, every evening, immersed in the setting sun, gracefully carried me strolling or galloping at the farm. And I had Aunt Letty. She, from dawn to dusk, tirelessly, cared for the animals and did the manual work, showing me responsibility, hard work and respect. And she did enjoy the busy and seemingly boring routine. Infected, I also began to appreciate my labor. It paid to work hard! Life was fulfilling and the animals rewarded us with affection and nice food.

I figured that would buy me an extra hour to work on my project since I wouldn't have to cook that night.Now, it was 6:00 pm, and I was typing away, making good progress. My kids were downstairs watching TV. My eleven-year-old son, Nathan, came in and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can you warm up the chicken now?"In a little bit," I answered without looking up from the computer. "I'm trying to work."Ten minutes later, my older son, Jordan, came in to tell me that he was hungry too, and I needed to warm up the chicken. "I'll do it as soon as I'm at a stopping point," I said.Fifteen minutes after that, my eighteen-year-old daughter, Julia? made the same request.I exploded. "You're all old enough to put the rotisserie chicken in the microwave," I nearly shouted. "You guys are watching TV while I'm working on something important. You should just take some responsibility."Twenty minutes later, a paper plate filled with chicken appeared on the desk next to my computer. I smiled at the kids, "Sorry I yelled at you guys. I'm just so tired of being ATF around here."ATF?"All Things Food. It's my responsibility to plan the meals, shop for the food, cook the food, and then clean up the dishes afterward. If it's food-related, it automatically falls to me. I don't want to yell at you guys again, but I'm overwhelmed（压倒的）right now."Julia nodded, "We understand, Mom. When's your deadline?"In two days, and I don't know how I'm going to finish." Tears threatened as I thought about how much work I still had to do.Julia looked at her brothers. "For the next two days, the three of us are ATF. Let's leave Mom alone and go to make a plan."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。The next noon, when Julia came home from her job at a local grocery store, she was carrying multiple bags of food. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The day o£ my deadline was much the same. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】The next noon, when Julia came home from her job at a local grocery store, she was carrying multiple bags of food. An hour later, Nathan tiptoed into my study room to deliver my lunch to me. As he handed me a paper plate containing a turkey sandwich, some chips and apple slices, he smiled. "I hope your work is going well," he whispered and then tiptoed back downstairs. I laughed, took a bite and got back to work. That evening, after several productive hours of work, I could smell something cooking. It actually smelled good.The day of my deadline was much the same. Jordan delivered breakfast and lunch to me at the computer. Then, to my greatest delight, I typed the last words on my project at 3:00 pm. I went downstairs and announced that I had finished my work. I said I would make dinner that night. But Julia shook her head, "No, you've earned a break." My mouth dropped open, but I didn't argue. I curled up in bed with a novel I'd wanted to read for months. Three luxurous hours later, Nathan knocked on the door and told me that dinner was ready.【解析】本文以食物为线索展开，讲述了作者在工作即将到了最后期限时，对于还要照顾孩子们的饮食有些忙不过来，对孩子们发火，孩子们意识到作者正在忙于工作，决定负责家人的食物。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“第二天中午，茱莉亚从当地一家杂货店下班回家时，她背着好几袋食物。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们为自己和作者准备食物，作者继续高效率地工作。②由第二段首句内容“我的截止日期到了。”可知，第二段可描写作者忙完工作，之后打算去做饭，而孩子们决定让作者休息，继续负责做饭。2.续写线索：孩子做饭——作者工作——工作完成——作者想去做饭——作者休息3.词汇激活行为类①蹑手蹑脚地走：tiptoed/make one's way noiselessly/walk quietly②低声说：whispered/speak in a whisper/speak in a low voice③拒绝：shook her head/decline/refuse politely情绪类①喜悦：smiled/ give a soft smile/ laugh②惊讶：dropped open/be surprised/ be amazed/ be astonished【点睛】【高分句型1】As he handed me a paper plate containing a turkey sandwich, some chips and apple slices, he smiled.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句）【高分句型2】I went downstairs and announced that I had finished my work.（由连接词that引导的宾语从句作announced的宾语）
