My father Earl was to take two-lane highways all the way from Chicago to New York.“This way,” he explained,“we’ll actually see where we’re going.I hate turnpikes(收费高速公路),Virgil.” There were other reasons for taking highways:no fee to pay,cheaper gas stations,and a chance to shop for food.
He had me laughing from the moment we left town.I’d never seen him in better spirits.He did imitations,told stories and made remarks to the waitresses in the restaurants we’d stopped in every three hours,highly praising their cooking skills.
Earl asked me to keep an eye out for hitchhikers(搭便车的人),so we might have someone to share the driving.My father had,however,tough standards of selecting hitchhikers.We passed teenagers,soldiers and old men,and each time Earl had a different excuse for not stopping.
Finally,my heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.“Why don’t you ever stop?It’s not fair to look at people and then not stop.”
Earl looked at my face.“I don’t know,Virgil,” he said.“I think the reason is that I don’t want anyone in the car.We never have any time alone and I like it with just the two of us.”
Hearing what he said,I felt tears welling up in my eyes.How wonderful,yet disturbing and unprepared I was to hear it.
We pulled in for the night some twelve hours after leaving Chicago and checked into a nameless motel.It was in this motel that my father and I spent one of the best nights of our lives.He watched TV with me for a while and he begged a pack of cards from the motel manager and did card tricks for me—a skill I had no idea he possessed.Then my father and I played a card game and we were so comforted by the game that we took the pack with us when we drove out for a late night snack of ham and eggs.
The sky was filled with stars.After turning off all the lights,we whispered to each other in bed,like boys who fear they might be overheard.I don’t remember what I said,but I was sure he was listening.

“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves.I’m convinced that humans need to leave the earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking,spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017,a year before his death.
Hawking was not alone in this view.Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonise(移民于)other planets.That way,if a terrible disease,nuclear war or some other disasters strike the earth,civilisation as we know it would still have a chance.Mars is one of the most attractive destinations.NASA,the United Arab Emirates,the private company SpaceX,and the organisation Mars One all have plans to send humans there.“Either we spread the earth to other planets,or we risk going extinct,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.
But not everyone agrees that colonising Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous.It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there,let alone set up a place for them to live.It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.One of the biggest dangers is its deadly radiation that ruins the planet.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth,like dealing with poverty or climate change.Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid(小行星) strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.
In addition,moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there.Mars seems uninhabited,but micro-organisms could exist on Mars.Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment.Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。有些专家认为,为了人类和人类文明的延续,人类应该离开地球,移民去其他星球,尤其是去火星。而另一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险,甚至还会破坏火星的生态。
28.Why did the author mention NASA,the United Arab Emirates,SpaceX and Mars One?
A.To stress the risk of dying out on Earth.
B.To provide evidence for Hawking’s theory.
C.To show growing intention of moving to Mars.
D.To explain the advanced technology in astronomy.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonise other planets.”以及“Mars is one of the most attractive destinations.NASA,the United Arab Emirates,the private company SpaceX,and the organisation Mars One all have plans to send humans there.”可知,这么多机构都计划着让人类移民火星,也就是表明了不断增长的移民火星的意图,故选C项。
29.What can we learn from the passage?
A.It is costly and risky to colonise Mars.
B.Civilisation is difficult to maintain on Earth.
C.Poverty is the most urgent problem to handle.
D.All the time and money should be spent on Earth.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous.(反对去火星的最常见的理由是费用太高,太危险了。)”可知,移民去火星太贵太有风险了,故选A项。
30.What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Not steady to keep.
B.Not fit to live on.
C.Not easy to approach.
D.Not safe to set foot on.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Mars seems uninhabited,but micro-organisms could exist on Mars.”可知,but后表明火星可以提供给微生物生存之地,那么but前说明火星可能无法提供生存的地方,也就是火星可能是不适合生存或居住的,故选B项。
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Mars,Our Future Planet
B.Moving to a New Planet
C.Should We Colonise Mars?
D.Stay Home or Outer Space?
答案C
解析主旨大意题。文章第一段引出话题,我们可能需要去其他星球来拯救我们自己,第二段表明很多专家支持移民火星的计划,第三段和第四段分析了移民火星的代价和危害。综合这些段落可知,整篇文章就是讨论了我们是不是要移民火星,C项“Should We Colonise Mars?”符合要求,故选C项。
D
Few people would name their favourite color as gray or cream,yet our homes are often filled with these neutral tones.When I studied color and its effect on joy,I wondered:Why is there such a gap between the colors that make us feel energetic,and the colors that surround us?
“Chromophobia” was the immediate answer I received when I posed this question to Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat,architects of Saguaro Hotel in California.“People are afraid of color.It’s the fear of making a choice,of making a mistake and having to live with it.”
I could relate.I used to be such a person,so afraid of color that the spectrum of my entire apartment fell between white and cream.Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint them.But something funny happened.Each day I’d come home to that apartment,it felt like the sun was shining,even in the dead of winter.In ever again thought about repainting after the first week.
If you’d like a more energised space,experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls,bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects.This approach of using tiny bursts of bright color can be an appealing strategy for people who are afraid of color and it’s surprisingly effective.
It takes a little practice to become confident with color,especially when it comes to putting different ones together.But here’s a clever shortcut for finding joyful combinations.Once,when Stamberg and Aferiat were stuck on choosing a color for a house they were designing,they turned to painter David Hockney who suggested,“Look at Matisse.” Not only did the brilliant paintings of Henri Matisse inspire them to choose the right blue,but they also began to use this approach with clients.When people see striking colors coexisting kindly on a canvas,it gives them confidence that they will also work in their homes.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文中作者结合自己对颜色的恐惧引出,人们可以通过家具和装饰物将色彩带入空间,从而营造更有活力的空间,明亮的颜色也可以使人们生活得更加快乐。
32.What does the underlined word “Chromophobia” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A mental state of fearing color.
B.A social phenomenon of rejecting changes.
C.An attitude to pursuing a simple lifestyle.
D.An awareness of making the right choice.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“People are afraid of color.It’s the fear of making a choice,of making a mistake and having to live with it.(人们害怕颜色。害怕做出选择,害怕犯错,害怕与错误共存。)”可知,作者就“害怕颜色的心理状态”咨询了建筑师Peter Stamberg和Paul Aferiat,并得到了他们的回答。故画线词指的是“害怕颜色的心理状态”。故选A项。
33.How did the author feel about the walls after he moved into another apartment?
A.Depressed. B.Calm.
C.Dissatisfied. D.Indifferent.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint them.(后来有一天,我搬到了另一个公寓——所有的东西都很合我的口味,除了墙是奶油黄色,这让我很想重新粉刷它们。)”可知,当作者搬进另一个公寓后,他对墙壁不满意。故选C项。
34.How can people create a more energised home?
A.By painting the wall colorful.
B.By hanging a painting of Matisse.
C.By relying on a good decoration company.
D.By putting in some bright-colored furniture.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you’d like a more energised space,experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls,bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects.(如果你想要一个更有活力的空间,专家认为最好的第一步是从白色墙壁开始,通过家具和装饰物将色彩带入空间。)”可知,人们可以放一些色彩鲜艳的家具,创造一个更有活力的家。故选D项。
35.What’s the main purpose of the text?
A.To present the findings of a study on joy.
B.To explain the relationship between color and joy.
C.To uncover the reasons why people prefer mild colors.
D.To encourage people to live happier with bright colors.
答案D
解析推理判断题。作者通过自己对颜色的恐惧引出可以通过家具和装饰物将色彩带入空间,从而营造更有活力的空间,明亮的颜色也可以让人们生活得更加快乐。同时结合第一段以及倒数第二段内容可推知,这篇文章的主要目的是用鲜艳的颜色鼓励人们生活得更快乐。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
E-waste is fast becoming a serious global problem. 36
The source of e-waste
We live in a society that constantly produces and consumes electronic products.It is often cheaper to buy new pieces of equipment than to repair old ones.Also,through clever advertising,companies persuade consumers to replace their old TVs,mobile phones and computers for the latest models.E-waste is created when we throw away electronic equipment like this.In the EU alone,about 8.7 million tonnes of e-waste is produced each year. 37
The problem with e-waste
Burying e-waste in landfills or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. 38 These substances can then leak into the ground in landfills or pollute the air when they are burnt.
Global recycling schemes(计划)
39 However,their schemes are not always managed properly and sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana.Here they are often burnt in public areas,which is very bad for people’s health.Setting up recycling programs in the countries that create e-waste could solve this problem.E-cycling centres could recycle the parts that we can reuse and properly dispose of the rest.
Take-back policy
Another solution to e-waste is to make manufacturers responsible for their used products.This could mean forcing them to take back old products which are no longer wanted. 40
Consuming less
We can all reduce the amount of waste we produce by buying electrical products only when we have to.
A.Sadly,just over one million tonnes is recycled.
B.Electronics contain dangerous chemicals and metals.
C.In recent years,many countries have started recycling e-waste.
D.They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
E.This report will examine this problem and provide some possible solutions.
F.By resisting the temptation to buy a product just to have the latest version,we cut down on e-waste.
G.Both manufacturers and consumers must accept their responsibilities and make efforts to keep it to a minimum.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电子垃圾正迅速成为一个严重的全球性问题,作者分析了这个问题并提供了一些可能的解决方案。
36.E 上文“E-waste is fast becoming a serious global problem.”说明了电子垃圾正迅速成为一个严重的全球性问题。该空承接上文,E项“本报告将研究这个问题并提供一些可能的解决方案”切题,故选E项。
37.A 根据上文“In the EU alone,about 8.7 million tonnes of e-waste is produced each year.”可知,仅在欧盟,每年就产生约870万吨电子垃圾。该空承接上文,A项“遗憾的是,只有100多万吨被回收”切题,故选A项。
38.B 根据上文“Burying e-waste in landfills or burning it causes serious problems for the environment.”可知,将电子垃圾掩埋或焚烧会对环境造成严重的问题。根据下文“These substances can then leak into the ground in landfills or pollute the air when they are burnt.”可知,这些物质会泄漏到垃圾填埋场的地面,或者在燃烧时污染空气。该空承上启下,B项“电子产品含有危险的化学物质和金属”切题,故选B项。
39.C 根据下文“However,their schemes are not always managed properly and sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana.”可知,他们的计划并不总是得到妥善管理,有时电子产品只是被送到加纳等贫穷国家。该空引出下文,结合这一段的标题“全球回收计划”,C项“近年来,许多国家已经开始回收电子垃圾”切题,故选C项。
40.D 根据上文“This could mean forcing them to take back old products which are no longer wanted.”可知,这可能意味着迫使他们收回不再需要的旧产品。该空承接上文,D项“然后,他们应该确保它们被适当地回收或再利用”切题,故选D项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上已知的第一只纯白色大熊猫以及它被发现的经过。研究人员称,白化病动物在一般情况下是罕见的,如果它的后代能够被拍摄下来,将对进一步的研究有价值。
56.celebration 考查名词。for为介词,后跟名词作宾语,故填celebration。
57.walking 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处用非谓语形式作补语,the one与walk之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式,故填walking。
58.was spotted 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。本句中主语与谓语动词为被动关系,且时间为2019年5月25日,应用一般过去时;主语为“It”,谓语动词用单数。故填was spotted。

62.scientists 考查名词。scientist为可数名词,由some修饰,应用复数形式,故填scientists。
63.Luckily 考查副词。修饰下文整个句子应用副词形式,故填Luckily。
64.to 考查固定短语。固定短语next to意为“几乎;差不多”,故填to。

第二节(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段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad’s life seemed typical of his generation.He graduated from high school during the Depression and worked for a large company.He enlisted(入伍) in 1941,served in the Pacific and Europe.
On returning,he met my mother,married and had three children.Because of the job,he needed to continue his education.With his full-time job and attending to his family,he attended college in the evening and obtained his degree.
As kids,we knew what Dad told us.During cold winters he sympathized with unfortunate kids in just a T-shirt and shorts.He was saddened by children with nothing under the Christmas tree.He loved kids and schools and he wanted to spread kindness to everyone in need of help,so he was always ready to give a hand to people he met.
With us three kids on our own,Dad and Mom retired and came to Florida.Two years later Mom died,in 1980.From that time,Dad got into the habit of walking around his house.He also tried golf but failed to become addicted to it.Although it was hard time for Dad,he didn’t give up the hope of life.He decided to do something meaningful to society.
Then he saw an ad requesting literacy(读写能力) volunteers.Dad helped some children who were homeless learn to read and write.He also helped an old man learn to read because his literate wife was going blind.He told us he even wanted to be a teacher to help more people.
As time passed,Dad had some health problems.His legs became weak and he started to have trouble in sleeping.My brother,my younger sister and I came to look after him,telling him to stop doing the volunteer work and have a rest at home.However,he was so stubborn that he disagreed with us and insisted on his decision.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Before long,Dad made his dream come true.
One year later,something surprising happened.
参考范文
Before long,Dad made his dream come true.As it happened,a teacher who lived near Dad’s home resigned.The school needed someone to help teach students.Dad realized it was time for him to take action.He began working as a teacher’s assistant in a third-grade class,helping children with spelling and grading papers.He spent a lot of time with the students,playing games and singing songs with them.As a result,all the students like getting along with him and he was well popular in the school.
One year later,something surprising happened.Dad’s physical condition turned better.He explained to me that the students kept him healthy.He said every time he stayed with the children,he moved and smiled a lot,which made him feel energetic and happy.Seeing Dad was satisfied with life,I learned a lesson:Our value shouldn’t be limited by the face and age,but it should depend on what we can do for others.

My father Earl was to take two-lane highways all the way from Chicago to New York.“This way,” he explained,“we’ll actually see where we’re going.I hate turnpikes(收费高速公路),Virgil.” There were other reasons for taking highways:no fee to pay,cheaper gas stations,and a chance to shop for food.
He had me laughing from the moment we left town.I’d never seen him in better spirits.He did imitations,told stories and made remarks to the waitresses in the restaurants we’d stopped in every three hours,highly praising their cooking skills.
Earl asked me to keep an eye out for hitchhikers(搭便车的人),so we might have someone to share the driving.My father had,however,tough standards of selecting hitchhikers.We passed teenagers,soldiers and old men,and each time Earl had a different excuse for not stopping.
Finally,my heart was filled with uncontrollable anger.“Why don’t you ever stop?It’s not fair to look at people and then not stop.”
Earl looked at my face.“I don’t know,Virgil,” he said.“I think the reason is that I don’t want anyone in the car.We never have any time alone and I like it with just the two of us.”
Hearing what he said,I felt tears welling up in my eyes.How wonderful,yet disturbing and unprepared I was to hear it.
We pulled in for the night some twelve hours after leaving Chicago and checked into a nameless motel.It was in this motel that my father and I spent one of the best nights of our lives.He watched TV with me for a while and he begged a pack of cards from the motel manager and did card tricks for me—a skill I had no idea he possessed.Then my father and I played a card game and we were so comforted by the game that we took the pack with us when we drove out for a late night snack of ham and eggs.
The sky was filled with stars.After turning off all the lights,we whispered to each other in bed,like boys who fear they might be overheard.I don’t remember what I said,but I was sure he was listening.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者和父亲的一次旅行经历,父亲十分珍惜和儿子的独处时间,让作者十分感动。

“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds... Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves.I’m convinced that humans need to leave the earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking,spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017,a year before his death.
Hawking was not alone in this view.Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonise(移民于)other planets.That way,if a terrible disease,nuclear war or some other disasters strike the earth,civilisation as we know it would still have a chance.Mars is one of the most attractive destinations.NASA,the United Arab Emirates,the private company SpaceX,and the organisation Mars One all have plans to send humans there.“Either we spread the earth to other planets,or we risk going extinct,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.
But not everyone agrees that colonising Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.The most common argument against going is that it’s just too expensive or dangerous.It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there,let alone set up a place for them to live.It’s not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.One of the biggest dangers is its deadly radiation that ruins the planet.
Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth,like dealing with poverty or climate change.Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid(小行星) strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.
In addition,moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there.Mars seems uninhabited,but micro-organisms could exist on Mars.Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment.Some feel that’s too much of a risk to take.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。有些专家认为,为了人类和人类文明的延续,人类应该离开地球,移民去其他星球,尤其是去火星。而另一些人认为这样的计划不仅昂贵而且危险,甚至还会破坏火星的生态。

Few people would name their favourite color as gray or cream,yet our homes are often filled with these neutral tones.When I studied color and its effect on joy,I wondered:Why is there such a gap between the colors that make us feel energetic,and the colors that surround us?
“Chromophobia” was the immediate answer I received when I posed this question to Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat,architects of Saguaro Hotel in California.“People are afraid of color.It’s the fear of making a choice,of making a mistake and having to live with it.”
I could relate.I used to be such a person,so afraid of color that the spectrum of my entire apartment fell between white and cream.Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint them.But something funny happened.Each day I’d come home to that apartment,it felt like the sun was shining,even in the dead of winter.In ever again thought about repainting after the first week.
If you’d like a more energised space,experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls,bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects.This approach of using tiny bursts of bright color can be an appealing strategy for people who are afraid of color and it’s surprisingly effective.
It takes a little practice to become confident with color,especially when it comes to putting different ones together.But here’s a clever shortcut for finding joyful combinations.Once,when Stamberg and Aferiat were stuck on choosing a color for a house they were designing,they turned to painter David Hockney who suggested,“Look at Matisse.” Not only did the brilliant paintings of Henri Matisse inspire them to choose the right blue,but they also began to use this approach with clients.When people see striking colors coexisting kindly on a canvas,it gives them confidence that they will also work in their homes.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文中作者结合自己对颜色的恐惧引出,人们可以通过家具和装饰物将色彩带入空间,从而营造更有活力的空间,明亮的颜色也可以使人们生活得更加快乐。
32.What does the underlined word “Chromophobia” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A mental state of fearing color.
B.A social phenomenon of rejecting changes.
C.An attitude to pursuing a simple lifestyle.
D.An awareness of making the right choice.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“People are afraid of color.It’s the fear of making a choice,of making a mistake and having to live with it.(人们害怕颜色。害怕做出选择,害怕犯错,害怕与错误共存。)”可知,作者就“害怕颜色的心理状态”咨询了建筑师Peter Stamberg和Paul Aferiat,并得到了他们的回答。故画线词指的是“害怕颜色的心理状态”。故选A项。
33.How did the author feel about the walls after he moved into another apartment?
A.Depressed. B.Calm.
C.Dissatisfied. D.Indifferent.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint them.(后来有一天,我搬到了另一个公寓——所有的东西都很合我的口味,除了墙是奶油黄色,这让我很想重新粉刷它们。)”可知,当作者搬进另一个公寓后,他对墙壁不满意。故选C项。
34.How can people create a more energised home?
A.By painting the wall colorful.
B.By hanging a painting of Matisse.
C.By relying on a good decoration company.
D.By putting in some bright-colored furniture.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中“If you’d like a more energised space,experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls,bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects.(如果你想要一个更有活力的空间,专家认为最好的第一步是从白色墙壁开始,通过家具和装饰物将色彩带入空间。)”可知,人们可以放一些色彩鲜艳的家具,创造一个更有活力的家。故选D项。
35.What’s the main purpose of the text?
A.To present the findings of a study on joy.
B.To explain the relationship between color and joy.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
E-waste is fast becoming a serious global problem. 36
The source of e-waste
We live in a society that constantly produces and consumes electronic products.It is often cheaper to buy new pieces of equipment than to repair old ones.Also,through clever advertising,companies persuade consumers to replace their old TVs,mobile phones and computers for the latest models.E-waste is created when we throw away electronic equipment like this.In the EU alone,about 8.7 million tonnes of e-waste is produced each year. 37
The problem with e-waste
Burying e-waste in landfills or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. 38 These substances can then leak into the ground in landfills or pollute the air when they are burnt.
Global recycling schemes(计划)
39 However,their schemes are not always managed properly and sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana.Here they are often burnt in public areas,which is very bad for people’s health.Setting up recycling programs in the countries that create e-waste could solve this problem.E-cycling centres could recycle the parts that we can reuse and properly dispose of the rest.
Take-back policy
Another solution to e-waste is to make manufacturers responsible for their used products.This could mean forcing them to take back old products which are no longer wanted. 40
Consuming less
We can all reduce the amount of waste we produce by buying electrical products only when we have to.
A.Sadly,just over one million tonnes is recycled.
B.Electronics contain dangerous chemicals and metals.
C.In recent years,many countries have started recycling e-waste.
D.They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
E.This report will examine this problem and provide some possible solutions.
F.By resisting the temptation to buy a product just to have the latest version,we cut down on e-waste.
G.Both manufacturers and consumers must accept their responsibilities and make efforts to keep it to a minimum.

第二节(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段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad’s life seemed typical of his generation.He graduated from high school during the Depression and worked for a large company.He enlisted(入伍) in 1941,served in the Pacific and Europe.
On returning,he met my mother,married and had three children.Because of the job,he needed to continue his education.With his full-time job and attending to his family,he attended college in the evening and obtained his degree.
As kids,we knew what Dad told us.During cold winters he sympathized with unfortunate kids in just a T-shirt and shorts.He was saddened by children with nothing under the Christmas tree.He loved kids and schools and he wanted to spread kindness to everyone in need of help,so he was always ready to give a hand to people he met.
With us three kids on our own,Dad and Mom retired and came to Florida.Two years later Mom died,in 1980.From that time,Dad got into the habit of walking around his house.He also tried golf but failed to become addicted to it.Although it was hard time for Dad,he didn’t give up the hope of life.He decided to do something meaningful to society.
Then he saw an ad requesting literacy(读写能力) volunteers.Dad helped some children who were homeless learn to read and write.He also helped an old man learn to read because his literate wife was going blind.He told us he even wanted to be a teacher to help more people.
As time passed,Dad had some health problems.His legs became weak and he started to have trouble in sleeping.My brother,my younger sister and I came to look after him,telling him to stop doing the volunteer work and have a rest at home.However,he was so stubborn that he disagreed with us and insisted on his decision.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Before long,Dad made his dream come true.
One year later,something surprising happened.
参考范文
Before long,Dad made his dream come true.As it happened,a teacher who lived near Dad’s home resigned.The school needed someone to help teach students.Dad realized it was time for him to take action.He began working as a teacher’s assistant in a third-grade class,helping children with spelling and grading papers.He spent a lot of time with the students,playing games and singing songs with them.As a result,all the students like getting along with him and he was well popular in the school.
One year later,something surprising happened.Dad’s physical condition turned better.He explained to me that the students kept him healthy.He said every time he stayed with the children,he moved and smiled a lot,which made him feel energetic and happy.Seeing Dad was satisfied with life,I learned a lesson:Our value shouldn’t be limited by the face and age,but it should depend on what we can do for others.
