二、阅读选择
A Summer Horse Camp in Montana and Wyoming for Teen Girls
Dates: June 23—July 5, 2021
Ages: 14—16 (grades 8, 9 & 10)
Tuition: ＄2,955(not including airfare)
Start: Bozeman, Montana
End: Jackson, Wyoming
Traversing the Continental Divide, this camp takes place on the borders of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, where girls will go whitewater rafting, scenic river floating, hot spring soaking, and will tour both Yellowstone and Teton National Parks.
Girls who participate in this adventure will gain knowledge and appreciation with each turn, becoming keepers of the land, and being introduced to skills necessary to work with pack animals in the wilderness. All of this adventure and learning take place in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere, which will make this an adventure to remember.
Trip Campsite & Facilities
Eight nights are spent in tents in public “frontcountry” campgrounds where we have pre-assigned campsite with neighbors and campgrounds hosts nearby, running drinkable water, and private outhouses or flushing toilets.
Four nights are spent in tents in “backcountry” wilderness areas where we will purify our water before drinking and learn and practice basic Leave No Trace camping skills such as how to select a campsite, how to go to the bathroom, and how to keep clean outdoors. All backcountry campsites in this travel plan have an outhouse available to us.
Why choose this trip
Girls who love horses but also want to go rafting, standing up paddle boarding, and explore Yellowstone Country will automatically love this camp. From rivers, to lakes, to mountains, Yellowstone Horseback Adventure camp will give girls a variety of outdoor settings in which they can fall in love with the natural world!
16．How long will the camp last?
A．8 days B．10 days C．12 days D．13 days
17．What does the underlined word “backcountry” refer to?
A．An area which lies in the back B．An area which is opposite the front
C．An area which has existed for a long time D．An area where few people live
18．Who is the camp intended for?
A．The girls who love riding horses and exploring nature
B．The boys who enjoy swimming and outdoor activities
C．The teens who are fond of experiencing the camps outdoors
D．The people who enjoy riding horses and swimming

【答案】
16．D
17．D
18．A

这是一篇应用文。文中主要介绍了一个为女孩们准备的夏令营活动，介绍了日期、针对年龄、费用和设施等情况。
16．
细节理解题。根据文中“Dates: June 23—July 5, 2021(日期：2021年6月23日至7月5日)”可知，夏令营要持续13天。故选D。
17．
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Eight nights are spent in tents in public “frontcountry” campgrounds where we have pre-assigned campsite with neighbors and campgrounds hosts nearby”（8个晚上是在公共“前线”营地的帐篷里度过的，我们与邻居和附近的营地主人预先分配了营地）以及后文“wilderness areas where we will purify our water before drinking and learn and practice basic Leave No Trace camping skills such as how to select a campsite, how to go to the bathroom, and how to keep clean outdoors”（在野外，我们将在饮用之前净化我们的水，并学习和练习基本的“不留痕迹”露营技能，如何选择露营地，如何去洗手间，以及如何保持户外清洁）可知，在frontcountry营地附近有邻居和营地主人，而backcountry营地则要学习和练习基本的“不留痕迹”露营技能，如何选择露营地，如何去洗手间，以及如何保持户外清洁，说明backcountry是一个很少人居住的地区，故画线词指的是“一个很少人居住的地区”。故选D。
18．
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Girls who love horses but also want to go rafting, standing up paddle boarding, and explore Yellowstone Country will automatically love this camp.(喜欢马，但也想去漂流、站立划船和探索黄石国家公园的女孩会自动爱上这个营地)”可推知，夏令营针对的是喜欢骑马和探索自然的女孩。故选A。
According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.
Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的)position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down. The more we curl up(蜷曲), the more comfort we are seeking, according to Phipps.
The second most common position is the log. Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness, and these people(the 28 percent who sleep this way)often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.
“The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.
Yearner(向往型)sleepers are next on the list. About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front, looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps. These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.
Perhaps the most peculiar(奇怪的)of sleep styles is the freefaller position. This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population. They sleep face down with arms stretched out. These people, according to Phipps, feel like they have little control over their life. Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles, but also the least comfortable, and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.
In conclusion, Phipps has only one more thing to add: “A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”
19．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．A good night's sleep sets you up for the following day.
B．Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at night.
C．How you sleep at night affects what you do the next day.
D．Which sleeping position helps you sleep comfortably.
20．Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?
A． B． C． D．
21．The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．stubborn B．flexible C．comfortable D．strange
22．Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?
A．The fetal position. B．The log position.
C．The freefaller position. D．The yearner position.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了肢体语言专家Robert Phipps发现，人们在晚上的睡姿说明了人们的个性特点。
19．
主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to body language expert Robert Phipps, the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have. Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.”(根据肢体语言专家罗伯特·菲普斯的说法，人们晚上睡觉的方式，很大程度上决定了他们的性格类型。菲普斯发现了四种会影响人格的睡姿)，接着文章分别介绍了这四种睡姿的人们具有不同的性格特点。所以，文章的主题是你的性格很大程度上取决于你在晚上的睡姿，与选项B“Your personality depends a lot on how you sleep at night.”(你的个性很大程度上取决于你晚上睡姿)符合，故选B。
20．
细节理解题。根据第二段“Phipps found that worriers, those who stress the most, tend to sleep in the fetal(胎儿的)position. He found that this is the most common bedtime position, with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.”(菲普斯发现，那些压力最大的焦虑者，倾向于像胎儿一样睡觉。他发现这是最常见的就寝姿势，将近58%的人侧睡，膝盖抬起，头低下)可知，胎儿睡姿是侧睡，膝盖抬起，头低下，故选D。
21．
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Sleeping with a straight body, with arms at each side, as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace, indicates stubbornness,”(睡觉时，身体很直，胳膊放在两侧。好像他们正站在那守卫白金汉宫一样，这种睡姿表明他们很固执)以及第四段““The longer you sleep like this, the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible, which means you make things harder for yourself,” according to Phipps.”(菲普斯说：“你这样睡得越久，你的思维就越固执，你就会变得僵化，这意味着你让自己的处境更加艰难。”)可知，这种睡姿表明人们很固执，所以这样睡得越久，思维就会变得越固执，由此可知画横线单词“rigid”表示“僵化的；固执的”与stubborn(固执的)意思最为接近，B. flexible灵活的；C. comfortable舒服的；D. strange奇怪的。故选A。
22．
细节理解题。根据第五段中的第三句话“Yearners are typically their own worst critics, always expecting the best results, explained Phipps.”(菲普斯解释说，向往型睡姿是典型的对自己要求严格，总是期待最好的结果)可知，向往型睡姿表明睡眠者倾向追求完美，故选D。
This month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles. They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.
Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.
“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.”
Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.
That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.
23．What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A place where cars often break down.
B．A case where passing a law is impossible.
C．An area where no driving is permitted.
D．A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.
24．The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to _____ .
A．stop people from breaking traffic rules
B．help promote fully automatic driving
C．protect drivers of all ages and races
D．prevent serious property damage
25．What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?
A．It should get the attention of insurance companies.
B．It should be the main concern of law makers.
C．It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.
D．It should involve no human responsibility.
26．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?
B．Fully Automatic Cars: A New Breakthrough
C．Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!
D．Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accidents

本文是一篇说明文。从德国交通部长亚历山大·多布林特提出的第一套自动驾驶汽车规则入手，文章介绍了无人驾驶汽车运营中的责任划分问题。
23．词义猜测题。根据第一段中的They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.可知，他们将定义司机在此类车辆中的角色，并管理此类车辆在可能造成人员伤亡的撞车事故中的表现；再根据第二段The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.可知，该提案试图解决一些人所说的自动驾驶汽车的“死亡谷”：半自动驾驶汽车和完全无人驾驶汽车之间的灰色地带，这可能会推迟无人驾驶汽车的未来。由此可知，死亡谷指的就是在交通规则中驾驶员的责任划分不明确的情况，故D项正确。
24．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt.”可知，多布林特说：“道路交通法的修改将允许全自动驾驶”，由此可知，布林特的这项提议旨在帮助推动完全自动驾驶，故B项正确。
25．细节理解题。根据第六段An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.可知，今年早些时候，英国推出了一项针对无人驾驶汽车的保险设想，该设想坚持让人类时刻保持警惕，监控道路状况，再结合第七段But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.”可知，但这并不是很多人在考虑无人驾驶汽车时所想的。“当你提到无人驾驶汽车，人们期待无人驾驶汽车，”梅拉特说，“你知道——没有司机。”由此可知，消费者认为无人驾驶汽车的操作不应该涉及人的责任，故D项正确。
26．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第五段中的Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability issue is the biggest one of them all”可知，在汽车制造商、消费者和律师中，谁来负责无人驾驶汽车的运营还不明确，责任问题是最大问题之一，由此可知本文主要介绍的是无人驾驶汽车运营中的责任划分问题，故A项（自主驾驶——谁来负责？）适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。
【点睛】
本篇第1题词义猜测题难度较大，对需要猜测词义的词汇的上下文的理解是关键，特别是要注意冒号或破折号后的内容，因为其往往会起到解释说明的作用，根据第一段中的They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.可知，他们将定义司机在此类车辆中的角色，并管理此类车辆在可能造成人员伤亡的撞车事故中的表现；再根据第二段The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.可知，该提案试图解决一些人所说的自动驾驶汽车的“死亡谷”：半自动驾驶汽车和完全无人驾驶汽车之间的灰色地带，这可能会推迟无人驾驶汽车的未来。由此可知，死亡谷指的就是在交通规则中驾驶员的责任划分不明确的情况，故D项正确。
An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage.
Scientists have spent decades trying to produce the exact copies of the structure and clarity of a biological eye, but vision provided by existing artificial eyes with external wires are still in poor resolution (分辨率) with 2D flat image sensors. The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness.
The key feature allowing such breakthroughs is a 3D artificial retina (视网膜), made of nanowire light sensors which are like the photoreceptor in human retinas. The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen. In the future, those nanowire light sensors could be directly connected to the nerves of the visually damaged patients. Apart from that, the artificial retina can receive more light signals and potentially attain a higher image resolution than human retina.
With further adjustment, the EC-Eye can be a self-powered image sensor, so there is no need for external power source, which will be much more user-friendly as compared with the current technology. “The current artificial eyes are still of no match to the human eyes. A new technology is in urgent need, and it gives me a strong motivation to start this unconventional project. In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical,” said Prof. Fan, whose team has spent nine years to complete the current study.
27．What’s the feature of the EC Eye?
A．It uses 2D flat image sensors. B．It provides a clearer vision than human eyes.
C．It performs better at night than in the day. D．It is attached with external wires.
28．What’s the function of nanowire light sensors?
A．To send computer signals. B．To serve as nerves behind the retina.
C．To receive visual signals. D．To connect nerves of patients to the wires.
29．What can we infer about the EC- Eye from Dr. Fan’s words?
A．It is different from the previous devices. B．It has been improved by the team.
C．It will be in clinical trials in five years. D．It is of no match to human eyes.
30．What can be the best title for the text?
A．EC-Eye Will Become Popular
B．Nanowire Light Sensors Help People See
C．Scientists Have Developed First Artificial 3D Eye
D．EC-Eye Helps to Cure People of Eye Diseases

【答案】
27．B
28．C
29．A
30．C
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍的是研制出的3D人工眼睛的机制，优势和调整空间。
27．
细节理解题。根据第二段“The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness.（然而，香港科技大学研发的电化学眼(EC-Eye)实际上可能提供比人眼更敏锐的视力，并具有额外的功能，例如在黑暗中看到东西的能力。）”可知，EC Eye的特点是能提供比人眼更清晰的视觉。故选B。
28．
细节理解题。根据第三段“The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen.（在实验过程中，科学家们将纳米线光传感器连接到一些液态金属线，这些金属线充当人造视网膜后面的神经，成功地实现了视觉信号的传输，将眼睛看到的东西反射到电脑屏幕上。）”可知，纳米线光传感器的功能是接收视觉信号。故选C。
29．
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical（下一步，我们计划进一步改善我们的装置的性能。动物试验和临床试验正在计划中。我想如果一切都步入正轨，也许在五年内，这项技术就会变得实用）”可知，从范教授的话中我们可以推断出EC- Eye与之前的设备不同，会更加实用。故选A。
30．
主旨大意题。根据第一段“An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage.（由香港科技大学(科大)的科学家领导的一个国际团队最近开发出了世界上第一个3D人工眼睛，其功能甚至超过人眼，为类人机器人带来了视觉，并为视觉损伤患者带来了新的希望。）”及全文可知，本文介绍的是研制出的3D人工眼睛的机制，优势和调整空间。所以“Scientists Have Developed First Artificial 3D Eye(科学家研发出首只人工3D眼)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

There are many things we remember from our childhood—the games we played, the music we listened to;but what about earning pocket money? This was our first ever wage for completing tasks such as tidying our bedroom or sorting the laundry. Our reward was a handful of coins that we safely stored. 31．
There was a time when cash was the main currency for financial transactions (交易). These days, though, using credit cards, or making cashless payments, are the most convenient ways of paying. 32． Research has found that 84% of British parents currently give notes and coins to their children —usually 7 pounds a week as an allowance.
But banks predict that by 2028 only one in ten transactions will be with cash, and that is something today's children will have to deal with. One issue is that children may not understand the value of cash because they never see it. 33． They either should find a new way to hand out pocket money, or needn’t bother to pay it at all.
Still, solutions are available.Giving children lessons at school about finance is important.34．
The trick is to go and get some coins so that children have the opportunity to interact with them. Besides, bank accounts for older children can be opened to give them cash cards to use. Parents can choose whatever method they like.35．.
A．This, in turn, makes the buying much easier.
B．Parents face difficult choices too.
C．They have completely taken the place of cash.
D．So how do parents hand out pocket money at present?
E.But they need to teach their kids that money doesn’t grow on trees!
F.But now, it seems that parents’ attitude to handing out cash is changing.
G.And parents are advised to get children started with money as young as possible.

这是一篇说明文。随着父母的理财习惯和方式的改变，孩子们获取零花钱的方式也在发生变化。文章对父母采取什么样的方法来让他们的孩子知道零花钱的价值这一问题，给出了一些建议。
31．
根据上文“Our reward was a handful of coins that we safely stored.”（我们的奖赏是我们安全储存的一把硬币）根据下文“There was a time when cash was the main currency for financial transactions . These days, though, using credit cards, or making cashless payments, are the most convenient ways of paying. ”（曾几何时，现金是金融交易的主要货币。然而，如今，使用信用卡或进行无现金支付是最方便的支付方式）由此可知，选项与上文为转折关系且承接下文，说明父母派发现金的态度的转变。F选项“但现在，父母派发现金的态度似乎正在改变”切题。changing呼应using credit cards, or making cashless payments。故选F项。
32．
根据下文“Research has found that 84% of British parents currently give notes and coins to their children —usually 7 pounds a week as an allowance.”（研究发现，84%的英国父母目前给孩子纸币和硬币——通常每周7英镑作为零用钱）可知，下文是对选项的回答，是关于父母如何发放零花钱。D选项“那么，目前父母是如何发放零花钱的呢？”切题。故选D项。
33．
根据上文“One issue is that children may not understand the value of cash because they never see it.”（一个问题是，孩子们可能不理解现金的价值，因为他们从来没有看到过现金）根据下文“They either should find a new way to hand out pocket money, or needn’t bother to pay it at all.”（他们要么找到一种发放零花钱的新方法，要么根本不必支付）由此可知，选项承接上文说明父母也面临着选择。difficult choices呼应下文。B选项“父母也面临着艰难的选择”切题。故选B项。
34．
根据上文“Giving children lessons at school about finance is important.”（在学校给孩子们上理财课很重要）可知选项承接上文说明另一种解决方案。G选项“家长们被建议让孩子们尽可能从小就开始用钱”切题。故选G项。
35．
根据上文“Besides, bank accounts for older children can be opened to give them cash cards to use. Parents can choose whatever method they like.”（此外，可以为年龄较大的儿童开设银行账户，让他们使用现金卡。父母可以选择他们喜欢的任何方法）可知，选项总结上文说明无论哪种方法都要对孩子进行教育。E选项“但是他们需要教育他们的孩子，钱不是从树上长出来的！”切题。故选E项。

39．was pretending
40．mentally
41．whom
42．annoyed
43．on

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。八月的一个星期天早上，我去了当地的音乐节，路上的一段偶遇。
36．
考查副词。句意：我很早就离开了，因为那天晚些时候我有个约会。分析句子可知应该填入副词later，意为：后来，晚些时候。故填later。
37．
考查连词。句意：我的朋友们陪我走到公共汽车站，和我一起等直到公共汽车到达。分析句子成分，可知填入连词until，意为：直到......为止，引导时间状语从句。故填until。
38．
考查非谓语动词。句意：我上了公共汽车，找到一个靠后面的座位，然后我注意到前面坐着一个男人。在and之后的句子谓语动词是noticed，所以空格处填入非谓语动词，a man和sit之间是主动关系，用现在分词短语作宾语补足语。故填sitting。
39．
考查时态。句意：他正在假装一个老虎玩具是真的，并给它配一个声音。根据and之后的giving，再结合句意可知句子时态是过去进行时，主语是He，系动词用was。故填was pretending。
40．
考查副词。句意：他一定是智力残疾。分析句子可知用副词修饰形容词disabled。故填mentally。
41．
考查定语从句。句意：在他身后是他想与之交谈的其他人，但几分钟后他们走开了，坐在我旁边，看起来很生气。空格处引导定语从句，修饰先行词other people，在介词to后作宾语，指人，用whom引导，介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，指人，只能用whom。故填whom。
42．
考查形容词。句意：在他身后是他想与之交谈的其他人，但几分钟后他们走开了，坐在我旁边，看起来很生气。在系动词looking后需要形容词作表语，修饰人用动词+ed形式的形容词。故填annoyed。
43．
考查介词。句意：我不想因为和他说话而被嘲笑，但我也不想让他一个人待着。考查短语on one’s own，意为：独自。故填on。
44．
考查反身代词。句意：我坐在那个男人旁边，自我介绍。表示自我介绍用introduce oneself，me的反身代词是myself。故填myself。
45．
考查名词。句意：在他离开后，我在回家的路上感到非常高兴。在形容词性物主代词his之后需要名词，作宾语。故填departure。

六、读后续写
47．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。续写的词数应为150左右。
When the employees at the Domino’s pizza place in Salem, Oregon, hadn’t received any order from Kirk Alexander for more than 2 weeks, they knew something wasn’t right. Kirk was a loyal customer and the staff all knew him. So it was natural that they got worried when they had no news about him. Their concern saved his life.
Sarah Fuller, the general manager at the Domino’s branch, said that Kirk, who was 48 years old, had been a loyal customer since 2009. “He orders every day, or every other day,” Sarah said.
Normally, his order came up on the screen because he ordered online. So we saw it came across the screen and we were thinking, “Oh, Kirk’s order.” After a few days without a single order, Sarah and the staff started to worry.
A few Domino’s drivers had mentioned that they hadn’t seen his order come across their screen in a while. Sarah checked the system and saw that no order had come in 11 days. So they decided to investigate.
Sarah decided to send Tracy Hamblen, a deliver driver, to Kirk’s place. When he got there, he immediately knew something was wrong. While the lights and TV were on, Kirk did not come to the door. Additionally, his phone went directly to voicemail. So Tracy immediately called 911.
Para.1:
When the police arrived at the place,
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para.2:
A few days later, Kirk was released from the hospital.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para1: When the police arrived at the place, they heard a cry for help from the inside of the house. Inside, they found Kirk, who was in need of immediate medical help. Due to the quick actions of Tracy, Kirk is in stable condition at the Salem Hospital. The Domino’s employees received a lot of praise online for their unbelievable thoughtfulness. But they said that it was just part of their job and they were just doing their job.
Para2: A few days later, Kirk was released from the hospital. He came to the Domino’s personally with some homemade cookies to say thank--you to Sarah and the Domino’s staff. The Domino’s mentioned that “Caring for customers should not be taken at face value. We should remember that the customers determine the success of our company and in turn we can also have an impact on their lives, small or big.” Kirk’s story has made this pizza shop even more popular in the community, and it has received more orders ever since.
【分析】
文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个披萨店的员工，细心地发现近期没有收到来自老顾客Kirk的订单，于是派人前去查看，发现Kirk生病并及时报警就医，确保了Kirk的安全。员工的善举为披萨店赢得了更多的称赞和订单。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当警察赶到现场时，”可知，第一段可描写警察将Kirk送到医院的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“几天后，Kirk出院了。”可知，第二段可描写Kirk出院后去披萨店感谢员工们拯救了他的生命以及该披萨店因为善意举动而为自己赢得更多的订单和顾客。
2.续写线索：呼救——成功被救助——感谢——店员表达观点——披萨店更受欢迎
3.词汇激活
行为类
①大声求救：cry for help /shout for help /scream for help
②受到赞扬：received a lot of praise / be praised greatly
③照顾，护理： caring for/taking care of/
情绪类
①.感谢：say thank--you / express appreciation / show appreciation /show his gratitude/be grateful
②.体贴：thoughtfulness /being considerate
【点睛】
[高分句型1]. Inside, they found Kirk, who was in need of immediate medical help.（由关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Kirk。）
[高分句型2]. We should remember that the customers determine the success of our company and in turn we can also have an impact on their lives, small or big.（that引导宾语从句作remember的宾语。)
