A
Pickled sides are Chinese people’s solution to tasteless food. Just a spoonful of sauce or pickled vegetables over rice can make a meal taste a million times better.
During busy work schedules, many young people in China don’t have the luxury of enjoying insightful conversations with friends and family at the dinner table. Instead, they find themselves eating alone.
Chinese youth are kept company during these 20-to-30-minute windows by TV shows or short videos, which they stream on their phone, tablet, or television. On the Internet, such content has been called “digital pickled vegetables”.
Some popular picks include classic Chinese dramas and situation comedies (sitcoms) like Empresses in the Palace and My Own Swordsman. American sitcoms such as Friends and How I Met Your Mother are also favored for their amusing jokes and simple story lines. You don’t need to know anything about either to get a good laugh from a random episode.
Some have questioned the value of such videos, pointing out that some explainers ruin good films and books and that no-brainer mini-series aren’t informational. On the other hand, we see nothing wrong with some harmless fun to accompany a lonely meal after a long day of work. Instead of being accompanied by friends and family during meal my young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos.
Can this habit affect your diet? According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more unconsciously. An international research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction (分心). After analyzing their diets, the team discovered that eating with a distraction increased intake of calories by about 15 percent.
To explore the reason, the team also invited two groups of people: one group ate while listening to a recording about another person eating and the other listened to a clip that helped them imagine themselves eating. The results showed that the second group ate less since they were more focused on their meals. When eating with the “digital pickles”, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected.
1. Why do many Chinese young people eat alone?
A. They hate to share food with workmates. B. They fail to have the luxury of dining space.
C. They tend to have busy work timetables. D. They prefer not to talk with strangers.
2. What do the underlined words “digital pickled vegetables” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Videos you watch while eating. B. Sauce you choose while eating.
C. Vegetables you like while eating. D. Games you play while eating.
3. Why do we eat more with “digital pickles”?
A. They increase our feeling of hunger. B. They make the food more delicious.
C. They draw our attention to the diet. D. They shift our attention from the meals.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】

Instead, they find themselves eating alone.(在繁忙的工作日程中,许多中国年轻人没有时间享受与朋友和家人在餐桌上进行有见地的交谈。相反,他们自己独自吃饭)”可知,因为繁忙的工作日程,使得年轻人没有时间享受与朋友和家人在餐桌上畅谈,最终只能独自吃饭。故选C。

B
The way students spend their weekends can vary. Once you get to college, students see the weekend to forget about everything. Most of the time it is going out with friends, but when you decide to turn that down, you are looked at to be lame. What's up with this?
In college, going out can seem like the main thing that happens during the weekend. But not everyone is into that —some students study or stay in with friends, and others simply just don’t go out because it is not their type of thing. If you are one of those people who decides to stay in, you probably know the feeling of being the “lame friend”.
When students feel this way, they can also feel pressured into doing something that they originally did not want to do. Just because a person does not want to go out and party and drink does not mean that they are lame—they just have a different idea of a fun weekend.
I don’t think we should assume that everyone needs to go out during the weekend in order to have fun, and the social pressure to do so can feel broken. I will speak from my own experience: When the weekend comes around, I overthink and start to get a rush of anxiety. Why? Because I might be judged for not going out, or I might miss something if I don’t go to this specific party that everyone is going to. I’m sure there are others that feel the same way and have had similar experiences, and they don’t deserve to feel the way I do either.
We should keep in mind that individuals are going through their own personal situations, and everyone has their own reasons for not going out. Staying in and watching a movie by yourself or with friends is not a bad thing, and people should normalize that not going out on the weekends is really not the worst thing.
4. Why does the author raise a question in paragraph 1?
A. To doubt students’behaviour. B. To correct schools’ management.
C. To blame friends’ rejection. D. To deny others’ judgement.
5. What is the lame friend probably like according to the text?
A. The one without friends. B. The one with serious anxiety.
C. The one with less outside activities. D. The one with the deadly leg disability.
6. What does the author suggest students do in the text?
A. How to spend weekends is up to you.
B. Study should be put first in college.
C. Going to the party everyone is going to is a must.
D. What to do at weekends is well worth considering.
7. What can we conclude from the text?
A. A good friend is my nearest relation. B. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
C. A man cannot be judged by his appearance. D. Interest is the seed, the action are the fruits.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文阐述了作为大学生每个人都有自己周末不出门的理由,选择如何度过周末由自己决定,因为我们要有自己的独立思考。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But not everyone is into that —some students study or stay in with friends, and others simply just don’t go out because it is not their type of thing.”(但并不是每个人都喜欢这样——一些学生学习或和朋友呆在一起,而另一些学生只是不出去,因为这不是他们喜欢的类型。)可知,作者在第一段提出问题是为了表明作者对周末不出去玩便认为很差劲的评价持不认可态度。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“ If you are one of those people who decides to stay in, you probably know the feeling of being the “lame friend”. ”(如果你是那些决定留在家里的人之一,你可能知道做“跛脚朋友”的感觉。)可知,跛脚朋友指代的是户外活动较少的同学。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should keep in mind that individuals are going through their own personal situations, and everyone has their own reasons for not going out.”(我们应该记住,每个人都在经历自己的个人情况,每个人不出门都有自己的原因。)可知,作者建议学生们要自己决定如何过周末。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should keep in mind that individuals are going through their own personal situations, and everyone has their own reasons for not going out.”我们应该记住,每个人都在经历自己的个人情况,每个人不出门都有自己的原因。)可知,每个人都有自己的个人情况,每个人都有自己不出门的理由。即如何度过周末由自己决定,我们要有自己的独立思考,B项“做一个棋手,而不是棋子”的潜在含义是自己掌握命运,不要被人摆布,符合题意。故选B项。
C
It was 1994, and I was a 19-year-old student in my third year at Western University in London, Ontario. I had signed up for a course in the Department of English taught by one Donald S. Hair.
A few weeks into the class, the professor administered our first test. I didn't think I had anything to worry about—until he handed my exam back the following week with a 67 written on it in red ink.
Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy. My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs? What was the old boy's problem, anyway?
But the real problem was this: He was right. I knew it as soon as I'd cooled off and taken the time to digest his comments. My writing was careless, my understanding of key concepts shallow. Like many of my partners, I was used to earning top grades. Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we actually “earning” them?
The next day, I went to his office. With burning cheeks, I told him I knew I’d butchered the exam. To my childish surprise, he wasn’t a “weirdo” in the least. He was funny, warm and uncommonly patient. He assured me if I worked hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’d be available to help me.
I went away, read and read some more. The more I read, the more interesting his classes became, and soon, his complex, absorbing lectures were the highlight of my week. I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade. Nearly 30 years later, I'm still proud of that.
8. What does the underlined word “jeopardy” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Advance. B. Demand. C. Trouble. D. Conclusion.
9. Why does the author mention the seatmate in the text?
A. To explain the test was too difficult.
B. To prove the professor's grading had problems.
C. To suggest she didn't work hard.
D. To show she was unfriendly in class.
10. How does the author feel about the professor in the end?
A. Disgusted. B. Cautious. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. You have to earn a grade instead of “get” it B. Be confident and not afraid of failure
C. You should treasure a good teacher D. Never rely on scholarships forever
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在大三那年遇到一位教授给作者的文章低分。经过反思,作者找出了自己的症结并得到教授的帮助从而不断努力获得了理想的分数的故事。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Sixty-seven! I'd never received such a low mark. I was dependent on a scholarship, and any grade below 80 put my future in jeopardy.”(六十七!我从来没有得到这么低的分数。我依赖奖学金,任何低于80分的成绩都会把我的未来置于jeopardy。)可知,只要是成绩低于80分就会使作者的奖学金受到影响,而作者又依赖奖学金,推断出这样低的分数会给作者的未来带来麻烦,C项“麻烦”与划线词意思相似。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“My seatmate's annoyed expression suggested her mark had been painful too. We angered silently: Professor Hair was an old weirdo (怪人)! How dare he ruin our GPAs? What was the old boy’s problem, anyway?”(我邻座恼火的表情表明她的分数也很痛苦。我们默默地生气:海尔教授是个老怪人!他怎么敢毁了我们的平均分?不管怎样,这个老男孩的到底怎么了?)可知,作者在此段提到邻座极其低的分数意在说明作者认为教授的评分有问题。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的“He assured me if I worked hard, I'd achieve my potential in the course, and he’d be available to help me.”(他向我保证,如果我努力工作,我会在课程中发挥自己的潜力,他会随时帮助我。)和第六段的“Nearly 30 years later, I’m still proud of that.”(近30年过去了,我仍然为此感到骄傲。)可知,作者对教授是很感激的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Now, for the first time, a teacher had introduced an uncomfortable question. Were we actually “earning” them?(现在,老师第一次提出了一个令人不安的问题。我们真的是在“挣”它们吗?)”最后一段“I spared no effort in that course. The grade I earned in his class was the lowest I’d received that year. But I had earned that grade.”(我在那门课上不遗余力。我在他班上的成绩是当年我得到的最低的。但这个分数是我应得的。)并纵览全文可知,作者在大三那年遇到一位教授给作者的文章低分。经过反思,作者找出了自己的症结而且得到教授的帮助从而不断努力的故事。这个故事告诉我们,学分要靠自己努力赚得而不是“得到”。因此推断A项“你必须挣得分数,而不是“得到”分数”为最近标题。故选A项。
D
Common phrases like “no pains, no gains” give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It’s almost as though the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear.
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another strategy, all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that engage us, rather than make us switch off.
Shutting yourself away can make you learn to hate studying. This leads to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on your work, you obsess about (唠叨)how unfair it is that you must study. When you feel bitter about your work it’s very difficult to make yourself start, or approach it with enthusiasm. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps you into ineffective revision, your poor progress fuelling further bitterness. Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it’s perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions.
It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle (懒散的) company. Studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. People who are bored and looking to be distracted, however, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. It’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people engaged in activities that you would rather be doing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you.
When you’re studying for a big exam, it seems like your whole life is taken up with study. Being in the same room with friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation (孤立). Also connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
12. What is the author’s attitude to the saying “no pains, no gains”?
A. Serious. B. Positive C. Negative D. Uncaring.
13. What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment?
A. Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
B. Give up others’ company at once.
C. Think twice before taking any action.
D. Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Ways to deal with distractions.
B. How to choose a perfect place to study.
C. Learning problems students are faced with.
D. How to focus mind on study.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To encourage students to work hard.
B. To introduce effective learning strategies
C. To remind students to balance study and play.
D. To advise students study in the company of others.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。作者不认同“一分耕耘,一分收获”这样的格言警句,因为它们会让人觉得学习的过程就是一个受苦的过程,我们不必把自己关在房间里看书,而学习的环境中有其他人的时候,为了避免学习中无法集中精力而导致恶行循环,作者提供了几个有效的学习策略。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Common phrases like ‘no pains, no gains’ give the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It’s almost as though the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is the sense of hardship we bear. (像‘一分耕耘,一分收获’这样的常用语给人的印象是,我们学习时应该受苦。似乎唯一能知道我们是否付出了足够努力的方法就是我们所承受的艰辛感。)”可推知,作者可能认为“一分耕耘,一分收获”这类警句格言给人感觉:学习是件苦差事,这种格言对学习来说不是一个好的励志短语,故作者对这句谚语持否定态度。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句“If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. (如果和其他人在一起意味着在嘈杂的环境中工作,一副耳机和一些背景音乐可以屏蔽噪音。它们还会起到心理障碍的作用,让人们在打断你之前三思而后行。)”可知,如果你在一个嘈杂的环境中学习,可以戴上耳机或播放背景音乐,给人以暗示,表示自己不想被打扰。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段最后两句“Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it’s perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions. (和其他人在一起真的有助于对抗孤独感,谢天谢地,在别人的陪伴下工作是完全可能的。我们只需要学会如何处理分心。)”可知,下一段要讲述如何处理分心,第四段“It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle (懒散的) company. Studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. People who are bored and looking to be distracted, however, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. It’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people engaged in activities that you would rather be doing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is much more likely to end with a new high score than a productive few hours of revision. If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. (没有必要避开所有的人,只需要避开闲人。和正在熨衣服或健身的人在同一个房间学习是完全可能的。然而,那些无聊的、想要分心的人是很难相处的。他们总是试图让别人保持谈话。避免和那些从事你更喜欢做的事情而不是学习的人在一起也是一个好主意。与几个小时的复习相比,坐在玩电子游戏的人旁边工作更有可能获得一个新的高分。如果和其他人在一起意味着在嘈杂的环境中工作,一副耳机和一些背景音乐可以屏蔽噪音。它们还会起到心理障碍的作用,让人们在打断你之前三思而后行。)”可知,第四段介绍了几个避免分心的方法,故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another strategy, all we know how to do is shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that engage us, rather than make us switch off. (当我们没有时间想出另一个策略时,我们所知道的就是把自己关在房间里看书。我们发现复习既无聊又困难,这并不奇怪。就像孩子们从玩耍中学习一样,我们也可以从实践中学习,或者至少从让我们投入其中的学习技巧中学习,而不是让我们远离学习。)”,“This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps you into ineffective revision, your poor progress fuelling further bitterness. Just being around other people really helps fight against feelings of loneliness and, thankfully, it’s perfectly possible to work in the company of other people. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions. (这可能是一个恶性循环的一部分,它会让你陷入无效的复习中,你的不进步会让你更加痛苦。和其他人在一起真的有助于对抗孤独感,谢天谢地,在别人的陪伴下工作是完全可能的。我们只需要学会如何处理分心)”可知,作者认为没有必要把自己一个人关在屋里看书,并介绍了在与其他人共处一个空间时,还依旧能专心读书的几个学习策略。故选B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。
Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists.___16___Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. Here are four steps you can take to prepare yourself in advance.
Drop, cover and hold
If you feel the ground start to shake, drop, take cover under as table piece of furniture, and hold on. You can hide under something like a desk or table, with one arm holding on to a leg of the table and your other arm protecting your neck and head.___17___In modern homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury.
Make a family plan
___18___Create a meeting point—somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. Whatever plan you decide on, don’t rely on your phone as your main form of communication. Technology fails all the time in disasters. A major earthquake in California, for example, damaged cell towers and knocked out communication services for days.
Secure your furniture
Those hanging shelves above your bed could be a danger during an earthquake. People often get injured from “flying or falling objects” like furniture or glass during earthquakes. So examine your home and ask yourself, “What could be a potential danger to my safety?”___19___
Make digital copies of important documents
Important documents may get destroyed during earthquakes. Therefore, scan or take photos of your important documents, such as your license, financial records and insurance policy information.___20___This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake.
A. Then send them to your e-mail.
B. These are all important personal documents.
C. Make sure your household has a plan of action.
D. Whatever you do, do not stand in a doorframe.
E. If you find the answer, you need to runaway immediately.
F. Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead.
G. If possible, remove those heavy and big objects above your bed immediately.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. C 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地震防范的四个重要的方法。
【16题详解】
前文“Unlike other natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes are very hard to see coming, even for scientists. (与飓风等其他自然灾害不同,地震很难预测,即使对科学家来说也是如此)”提到地震很难预测。后文“Thus, specific practices for earthquake preparedness are necessary. (因此,具体的防震措施是必要的)”说提前做防范措施很有必要。结合选项,F项“Nowadays early detection systems can only give seconds of warming ahead. (如今,早期探测系统只能提前几秒发出预警)”承上启下,衔接前句,同时解释“防范措施有必要”的原因,符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
后文“In modem homes, it is no stronger than any other part of the house and will not protect you from injury. (在现代家庭中,它并不比房子的其他部分更坚固,也不能保护你免受伤害)”中的“it”可知,空处应为“it”的指代对象。结合选项,D项“Whatever you do, do not stand in a door frame. (无论你做什么,都不要站在门框上)”中的“door frame”符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
小标题“Make a family plan (制定家庭计划)”为中心句。后文“Create a meeting point — somewhere easy for everyone to remember, or you could also meet at home. (创建一个见面地点——在每个人都容易记住的地方,或者你们也可以在家里见面)”可知,本段主要探讨应该做一个家庭的计划与预案。结合选项,C项“Make sure your household has a plan of action. (确保你的家庭有一个行动计划)”照应标题,符合本段的中心主旨。故选C。
【19题详解】
结合小标题“Secure your furniture (保护好家具)”以及前文“People often get injured from ‘flying or falling objects’ like furniture or glass during earthquakes. (人们经常在地震中被家具或玻璃等“飞行或坠落物体”伤害)”可知,本段主要讲的是房间中的易掉落物品可能会在地震中伤到人。结合选项,G 项“If possible, remove those heavy and big objects above your bed immediately. (如果可能的话,立即移走床上方那些又重又大的东西)”符合文意,逻辑一致。故选G。
【20题详解】
后文“This step can help ensure your documents will be available even if your computer is lost in a quake. (这一步可以帮助确保即使你的电脑在地震中丢失了,你的文件也可以使用)”可知,空处应该有“This step”的具体所指,故A项“Then send them to your e-mail. (然后把它们发到你的邮箱)”符合语境。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍中国中学校长张桂梅的故事。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:中国中学校长张桂梅被授予“时代楷模”称号,以表彰她对女童教育的奉献精神。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里考查固定搭配be honored with,意为“获得荣誉”。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:自2008年开办以来,它已经见证了1800多名学生升入大学和学院。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里有Since it opened in 2008作时间状语,谓语用现在完成时,主语是it,助动词用has。故填has seen。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词/时态。句意:大约20年前,时任云南丽江华坪县乡村教师的张桂梅在去一个学生家的路上,注意到一个女孩坐在山坡上。分析句子结构和意思可知,动词sit是被修饰的名词girl主动发出的动作,所以用现在分词形式,表示主动,作补语。也可以理解为noticed后面跟宾语从句,需要从句的谓语动词,用过去进行时,表示当时正在发生的动作,主语是girl,be动词用was。故填(was) sitting。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:她茫然地凝视着太空。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里需要副词,修饰动词staring。故填blankly。
【45题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:那场灾难性的邂逅说服了张桂梅建造一所免费的女子高中,目的是帮助打破女孩辍学、早婚和在偏远山区度过一生的魔咒。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里考查动词短语persuade sb. to do sth.,意为“说服某人做某事”。故填to build。
【46题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:见第5题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知,“women drop out of education, marry early and spend____7____(they) whole life in the remote mountain.”是解释前面名词spell的内容,是同位语从句,从句基本成分完整,上下文意思连贯,用连词that引导。故填that。
【47题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:见第5题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知,这里需要形容词性物主代词,作定语,修饰后面的名词短语whole life。故填their。
【48题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:经过多年的筹资,2008年,在华坪狮子山脚下,一所免费的公立高中——华坪女子中学成立,张桂梅是该校的校长。分析句子结构和意思可知,这句话描述的是过去的事情,动词found和主语a free public high school是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态结构,主语是a free public high school,be动词用was。故填was founded。
【49题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:几十年来,共有1800余名毕业生被大学录取,这被视为偏远地区的“奇迹”,因为在学校成立之前,大多数学生的学业表现不佳。分析句子结构和意思可知,名词graduate前面有More than 1,800修饰,所以用复数形式。故填graduates。
【50题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:见第9题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是整个主句的内容,在从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导。故填which。

52. 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。
Up in Lights
For some, putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Sara’s father, Anthony Pascucci, 60, woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn’t take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter (抵消) some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020, as in every other year, Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway. Sara’s brother, Anthony Jr. helped with the wiring, while Sara hung ornaments (装饰物) on the tree inside the house playing the song “White Christmas” over and over to keep everyone in the spirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve, the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree. Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams——a typical Italian feast. But most of all, they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However, Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn’t have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February, Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.
注意:1续写词数应为150左右;2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. The lights were a sign of hope and resilience, a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still beauty and brightness to be found. Sara realized that her father’s tradition of putting up Christmas lights wasn’t just about making their own home festive, it was about spreading that joy and hope to others as well.
In the following days, more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors’ houses. And soon the whole street was aglow with colorful lights and decorations. Every evening, families would take walks around the neighborhood, admiring the festive displays and feeling a sense of community and togetherness. The Pascucci family’s tradition had taken on a life of its own, becoming a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of difficult times. And as the years went on, the lights continued to shine brightly, bringing joy and comfort to all who saw them.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Anthony家族每年都会早早进行圣诞装饰,而今年,Anthony一家感染了COVID-19, Anthony Pascucci也因此去世。就在Sara感到悲伤时,整个街区都亮起了节日的彩灯,而这给Sara也带来一丝慰藉。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但当她在葬礼后回到家里时,闪烁的圣诞彩灯给她带来了一丝欢乐。”可知,第一段可描写Sara回想起父亲在世时,心中有了一丝慰藉。
②由第二段首句内容“在接下来的几天里,越来越多的圣诞彩灯重新出现在邻居的房子里。”可知,第二段可描写整个街区的圣诞装饰都亮了起来,传统延续,给人们带来了欢乐。
2.续写线索:Anthony Pascucci每年都会进行圣诞装饰,觉得圣诞灯光会带来欢乐——2020年,Anthony Pascucci像往常一样进行圣诞装饰,一切都看起来很美好——突然,Sara的同事被确诊感染了COVID-19——Sara一家也感染了COVID-19———Anthony Pascucci不幸去世——Sara处理完葬礼事宜——回到家,闪烁的圣诞彩灯给自己的启示和慰藉——看到整个街区都亮起了圣诞彩灯——帕斯库奇家族的传统延续——心中倍感安慰
