【解析】
【原文】W:Good morning,everyone.Today we’re going to look at the wide differences in family life between the rich and the poor in Victorian times.Let’s begin with the upper classes.In Victorian times,the upper classes made up less than 3%of the population,yet held more than 90%of the country’s wealth.Most of their servants were very poorly paid,but were always living in the homes of upper-class Victorian families,so they didn’t have to pay for housing,food and clothing.The money which they did earn,they sent to their families.Many servants came from the countryside.Among them were cooks,cleaners,gardeners and so on.The family would also employ a child’s nurse whose main role was to care for the children.She was responsible for teaching the children how to behave and taking care of them when they were i11.Nurses did not,however,educate the children.Generally,children from wealthy families didn’t attend school outside the family home.Tutors would come to the house to do this.Now,the Victorian upper classes have the reputation of being quite cruel;but this wasn’t always the case.They were also quite generous.Some schools were set up with money from the upper classes so that poor children could have some form of education.Additionally,most Victorian parents were very proud of their children.This goes against the common idea that parents were very strict with their children.In fact,the opposite was generally the rule.However,the situation for lower class families was very different.Let’s have a look

You probably know a dog named Snoopy,but you may not have heard who created the character.As a matter of fact,the creator was a terrible underachiever when he was a boy.While in the eighth grade,he failed subjects repeatedly.High school wasn’t much better;he flunked Latin,algebra,English,and received a grade of zero in physics.
He suffered many losses and rejections-just as people sometimes did in real life.Out of all the failures in his life,there was something that did hold great importance to this boy,his love of drawing.Although in high school,the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected,once out of school,the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works.I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him,but such was not the case;another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes,this boy did not give up.He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons,about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz,the creator of the comic dog Snoopy.
In life,it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody,We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work,or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall,and no one seems to notice or care.Deep inside,we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer,but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance,we may feel worthless.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent,so too,we must realize that nobody is a nobody.
24. Which of the following best explains”flunked”underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Failed. B. Defeated.
C. Attained. D. Misunderstood.
25. What do the last two paragraphs advise us to do?
A. Be acquainted with more people. B. Offer more special and unique skills.
C. Ask for others’appreciation. D. Believe we can make some difference.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Story of a Hard-working Boy B. Nobody is a Nobody.
C. The Dream of Snoopy’s Creator D. Success is Built upon Failure.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B

The Ebro Delta,known as,a battleground during the Spanish Civil War,is now the setting for a different contest,where rice farmers fight against two enemies:the rice-eating giant apple snail,and rising sell levels.What happens here will have an effect on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.
Located in the Western Mediterranean,the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year,making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas.As the sea moves into these fresh-water marshes(湿地),however,rising salinity(盐分)is hindering rice production.At the same time,this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail,an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants.The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.
The battle is currently in progress on land,in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona.Scientists working under the guidance of”Project Neurice”are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency.
“The project has two sides,”says Xavier Serrat,Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona,”the short-term fight against the snail,and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change.But the snail has given the project greater urgency.”
Originally from South America,the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta.For now,the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta,But the snail continues its march to new territory,says Serrat.”The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe,but when.”
27. What’s the most effective strategy according to Paragraph 2?
A. Beating enemies one by one. B. Striking the stronger enemy first.
C. Killing two birds with one stone. D. Using one enemy to hit the other.
28. What do we know about the”Project Neurice”?
A. It puts the control of snails first.
B. It functions pretty well on climate change.
C. It aims to increase the Spanish rice production.
D. It stresses the snails’effect on rice production.
29. What can be known about the apple snails from the text?
A. It can tolerate the rising salinity. B. It will attack other rice-growing areas.
C. It multiplies at a high speed. D. It was introduced into Span deliberately.
30. Which section is the text most likely from?
A. Chemistry. B. Tourism. C. Farming. D. Geography.
【答案】27. D 28. A 29. B 30. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了在Ebro Delta,稻农与两个敌人作斗争:一个是吃稻谷的大苹果蜗牛,另一个是不断上涨的销售量;并介绍了应对方案。

细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.”可知,最有希望的策略是利用一种邪恶来对付另一种邪恶。故选D项。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency.”可知,短期与蜗牛抗争,中长期与气候变化抗争,但蜗牛给了这个项目更大的紧迫性。由此可推知,这个项目把控制蜗牛放在第一位。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句“But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. “The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.””可知,蜗牛继续向新的领域前进,问题不在于它是否会到达欧洲其他水稻种植区,而在于何时到达。由此可知,它会袭击其他水稻种植区。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文,尤其根据第一段第一句“The Ebro Delta, known as, a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, where rice farmers fight against two enemies”可知,文章主要介绍农民怎么对付吃稻谷的巨型苹果蜗牛的,应该是出自农业部分。故选C项。

Mammals(哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2.modern man averaging 1200-1400 cm2.We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power,more must be better.___31___
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge consumption of energy on the body.It’s not easy to carry around.It’s even harder to provides energy.In modern man,the brain accounts for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25%of the body’s energy when the body is at rest,apes only 8%of rest-time energy.Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways.First,they spent more time for food.Second,their muscles grew smaller and weaker.___32___A chimpanzee(黑猩猩)can’t win an argument with a modern man,but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.
___33___That way,it’s easier to find food or enemies.Besides.their arms are freed for other purposes,like throwing stones or signaling.As a result,humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.
___34___The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to all uptight position was quite a challenge,especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages.___35___But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant tear of meat-eating animals.
A. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
B. Yet walking upright has its disadvantage.
C. However, it results in certain growing pains.
D. Actually, further more needs to be found out and tested.
E. Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright.
F It’s hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive.
G. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth.
【答案】31. A 32. F 33. E 34. B 35. G
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类大脑比较其它动物聪明的原因,同时讲述远古时代人类所处的弱势情况。
【31题详解】
根据前一句“We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better.”可知,我们非常喜欢我们的高智商,所以我们认为当涉及到脑力的时候,更多的智商一定会更好;再根据第二段第一句“The fact is that a huge brain is a huge consumption of energy on the body.”可知,事实上,一个巨大的大脑是对身体能量的巨大消耗。由此可知,空格前后之间是转折关系,所以,A项“不幸的是,事实并非如此”承上启下,符合语境。故选A项。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways. First, they spent more time for food. Second, their muscles grew smaller and weaker.”可知,早期人类用两种方式经营自己大脑。首先,他们花更多的时间吃饭。其次,他们的肌肉越来越小,越来越弱。F项“很难说这是一个很好的生存方式”与上文紧密衔接,符合语境。故选F项。
【33题详解】
根据后一句“That way, it’s easier to find food or enemies.”可知,这样,就更容易发现食物或敌人。E项“人类的另一个特点是直立行走”与下文陈述的直立行走的优势相照应,紧密衔接,符合语境。故选E项。
【34题详解】
根据第四段第四句“Adjusting to all uptight position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull.”可知,调整到直立的姿势是一个很大的挑战,特别是当骨头必须支撑一个超大的头骨时。B项“但是直立行走有它的缺点”引起下文,符合语境。故选B项。
【35题详解】
根据前一句“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages.”可知,我们认为一个大脑袋有巨大的优势。G项“显然,这些使人类成为地球上最强大的动物”与上文紧密衔接,G项中的“these”与前面的“huge advantages”相呼应,符合语境。故选G项。

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太阳熊的相关信息,如栖息地、对大自然的好处、数量变得越来越少等。
【56题详解】
考查介词。mistake…for…是固定短语,意为“把……错认为,把……误当作”。故填for。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:太阳熊生活在树上,所以如果你想看它,你就得盯着树。根据语境以及句意可知,空格前后之间是因果关系,所以用连词so。故填so。
【58题详解】
考查动名词。句意:它们对我们的生态系统至关重要,因为它们有助于传播种子,同时也能控制讨厌的白蚁,这意味着我们的热带树木受到的破坏更少,这反过来意味着我们的大气足够干净,我们可以生存。根据空格前的形容词“less”以及句意可知,此处应用动名词形式。故填destruction。

【62题详解】

I’d like to accompany with erhu in person, so I hope you can prepare one for me.
Looking forward to meet with you soon and wish we have a great time during the festival.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Carl lost his job.He tried to find another one but it wasn’t easy.The poor fellow couldn’t pay his bills because he had so little money,and he couldn’t ask anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent his days at home.He looked out of the window and watched his neighbour’s house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely,he never talked to his neighbours.Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique furniture and vases.Carl thought,”Why haven’t I got an antique vase?I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o'clock in the morning and came home at 4o’clock.He had a dog.Carlo often went to the fence and played with it or give it a piece of meat one day Carl thought,”I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem,”
There was an old gun in the cellar.It had been his great grandfather’s favourite thing a long time before.Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought.”Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he cut the end off with a saw.
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o’clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window,which broke.It wasn’t high .He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls,small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn’t know much about arts.He couldn’t choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数出为150左右;
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;
3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语己为你写好;
4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:It was the professor.He had left an important document at home.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:The professor was much scared.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was the professor.He had left an important document at home.Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without a second thought.The professor came into the room and saw him。”What are you doing in my house?”he asked surprisedly and angrily.”I haven’t stolen anything.Just let me go or I will shoot。”cried Carl,pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands.
The professor was much scared.Suddenly he burst into laughter.”With that gun?”asked the professor.Strangely,he didn’t seem frightened of Carl any more.He continued,”You can’t shoot with that antique gun.You should have put it in the museum actually.”“Is this really an antique gun?”asked Carl.”How much is it worth?”“It was worth about 17,000 dollars,”said the professor.”But now you can get 10 dollars for it.”“Why?”asked Carl.The professor replied,”Because,you see,its end is missing.”
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达属于读后续写,要求考生续写两段内容使之与已给出的材料构成一篇完整的短文。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,Carl失业后急需要钱,但没人愿意借给他,有一天他从未拉窗帘的邻居教授家里看到有很多古董,心想偷一个拿出去买可以有很多钱,于是他趁着邻居离开家拿着他的祖父留给他的一把枪从窗户爬进邻居家里,由于那把枪有点长藏不住他的外套里,所以他把枪的末端弄断。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:是教授,他在家里留下了一份重要的文件,所以应该写Carl害怕得不假思索地掏出枪来,教授走进房间惊讶而愤怒地问Carl在他家干什么,Carl用颤抖的双手拿枪指着教授说我什么也没偷。放了我,否则我就开枪。第二段开头是:教授很害怕。本段应该写教授看Carl手里的枪似乎不再害怕Carl了,教授说Carl不能用那把古董枪射击,而应该把它放进博物馆,因为这是一把古董枪,并说它本来值17000美元,但它的末端不见了所以现在只能值10美元。
续写时我们要按照已给出的材料中的关键词来写两段内容。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:without a second thought, surprisedly,burst into laughter,any more等高级词汇;that引导的宾语从句Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without a second thought.等高级句式。

【原文】W:Good morning,everyone.Today we’re going to look at the wide differences in family life between the rich and the poor in Victorian times.Let’s begin with the upper classes.In Victorian times,the upper classes made up less than 3%of the population,yet held more than 90%of the country’s wealth.Most of their servants were very poorly paid,but were always living in the homes of upper-class Victorian families,so they didn’t have to pay for housing,food and clothing.The money which they did earn,they sent to their families.Many servants came from the countryside.Among them were cooks,cleaners,gardeners and so on.The family would also employ a child’s nurse whose main role was to care for the children.She was responsible for teaching the children how to behave and taking care of them when they were i11.Nurses did not,however,educate the children.Generally,children from wealthy families didn’t attend school outside the family home.Tutors would come to the house to do this.Now,the Victorian upper classes have the reputation of being quite cruel;but this wasn’t always the case.They were also quite generous.Some schools were set up with money from the upper classes so that poor children could have some form of education.Additionally,most Victorian parents were very proud of their children.This goes against the common idea that parents were very strict with their children.In fact,the opposite was generally the rule.However,the situation for lower class families was very different.Let’s have a look

You probably know a dog named Snoopy,but you may not have heard who created the character.As a matter of fact,the creator was a terrible underachiever when he was a boy.While in the eighth grade,he failed subjects repeatedly.High school wasn’t much better;he flunked Latin,algebra,English,and received a grade of zero in physics.
He suffered many losses and rejections-just as people sometimes did in real life.Out of all the failures in his life,there was something that did hold great importance to this boy,his love of drawing.Although in high school,the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected,once out of school,the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works.I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him,but such was not the case;another huge rejection.
Despite his lack of successes,this boy did not give up.He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons,about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody.The name of this boy was Charles Schulz,the creator of the comic dog Snoopy.
In life,it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody,We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work,or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall,and no one seems to notice or care.Deep inside,we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer,but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance,we may feel worthless.
Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent,so too,we must realize that nobody is a nobody.
24. Which of the following best explains”flunked”underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Failed. B. Defeated.
C. Attained. D. Misunderstood.
25. What do the last two paragraphs advise us to do?
A. Be acquainted with more people. B. Offer more special and unique skills.
C. Ask for others’appreciation. D. Believe we can make some difference.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Story of a Hard-working Boy B. Nobody is a Nobody.
C. The Dream of Snoopy’s Creator D. Success is Built upon Failure.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B

The Ebro Delta,known as,a battleground during the Spanish Civil War,is now the setting for a different contest,where rice farmers fight against two enemies:the rice-eating giant apple snail,and rising sell levels.What happens here will have an effect on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.
Located in the Western Mediterranean,the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year,making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas.As the sea moves into these fresh-water marshes(湿地),however,rising salinity(盐分)is hindering rice production.At the same time,this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail,an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants.The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.
The battle is currently in progress on land,in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona.Scientists working under the guidance of”Project Neurice”are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency.
“The project has two sides,”says Xavier Serrat,Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona,”the short-term fight against the snail,and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change.But the snail has given the project greater urgency.”
Originally from South America,the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta.For now,the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta,But the snail continues its march to new territory,says Serrat.”The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe,but when.”

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类大脑比较其它动物聪明的原因,同时讲述远古时代人类所处的弱势情况。
【31题详解】
根据前一句“We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better.”可知,我们非常喜欢我们的高智商,所以我们认为当涉及到脑力的时候,更多的智商一定会更好;再根据第二段第一句“The fact is that a huge brain is a huge consumption of energy on the body.”可知,事实上,一个巨大的大脑是对身体能量的巨大消耗。由此可知,空格前后之间是转折关系,所以,A项“不幸的是,事实并非如此”承上启下,符合语境。故选A项。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways. First, they spent more time for food. Second, their muscles grew smaller and weaker.”可知,早期人类用两种方式经营自己大脑。首先,他们花更多的时间吃饭。其次,他们的肌肉越来越小,越来越弱。F项“很难说这是一个很好的生存方式”与上文紧密衔接,符合语境。故选F项。
【33题详解】
根据后一句“That way, it’s easier to find food or enemies.”可知,这样,就更容易发现食物或敌人。E项“人类的另一个特点是直立行走”与下文陈述的直立行走的优势相照应,紧密衔接,符合语境。故选E项。
【34题详解】
根据第四段第四句“Adjusting to all uptight position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull.”可知,调整到直立的姿势是一个很大的挑战,特别是当骨头必须支撑一个超大的头骨时。B项“但是直立行走有它的缺点”引起下文,符合语境。故选B项。
【35题详解】
根据前一句“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages.”可知,我们认为一个大脑袋有巨大的优势。G项“显然,这些使人类成为地球上最强大的动物”与上文紧密衔接,G项中的“these”与前面的“huge advantages”相呼应,符合语境。故选G项。

考查非谓语动词。句意:当它们从树上下来的时候,它们也会在土壤中挖掘无脊椎动物,通过混合贫富土壤来改善森林的养分循环。分析句子可知,该句的谓语动词是“dig”,所以此处应用非谓语动词;再根据句意可知,此处应用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填improving。
【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“over the last few years”可知,此处应用现在完成时;再由主语“their global population”表示单数,所以谓语用单数形式。故填has declined。
【63题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。根据空格前的“the second”可知,此处应用形容词的最高级。故填rarest。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:它们的舌头长达25厘米。in length是固定用法,意为“在长度上”。故填length。
【65题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个部分,从句中作主语所以用which引导该从句。故填which。

【答案】Dear Mr.Smith,
How are you doing? I am writing to express my thanks to you for inviting me to sing a Chinese song on Chinese Music Festival held by London Alleyn’s School where I’m going to study. I think I can give you some suggestions.
There are a large number of Chinese songs, which people from different countries love to listen to. The song named Mom in the Candlelight is my favorite, which describes a mother who has been sick for many years. I like it not only because of its wonderful lyrics but also its accompaniment with erhu, which is one of the famous Chinese instruments. I’d like to accompany with erhu in person, so I hope you can prepare one for me.
Looking forward to meet with you soon and wish we have a great time during the festival.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Carl lost his job.He tried to find another one but it wasn’t easy.The poor fellow couldn’t pay his bills because he had so little money,and he couldn’t ask anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent his days at home.He looked out of the window and watched his neighbour’s house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely,he never talked to his neighbours.Carl could see into the professor’s house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique furniture and vases.Carl thought,”Why haven’t I got an antique vase?I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o'clock in the morning and came home at 4o’clock.He had a dog.Carlo often went to the fence and played with it or give it a piece of meat one day Carl thought,”I will go into the professor’s house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem,”
There was an old gun in the cellar.It had been his great grandfather’s favourite thing a long time before.Carl didn’t want to use the gun but he thought.”Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he cut the end off with a saw.
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o’clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window,which broke.It wasn’t high .He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls,small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn’t know much about arts.He couldn’t choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.

Paragraph 1:It was the professor.He had left an important document at home.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:The professor was much scared.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was the professor.He had left an important document at home.Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without a second thought.The professor came into the room and saw him。”What are you doing in my house?”he asked surprisedly and angrily.”I haven’t stolen anything.Just let me go or I will shoot。”cried Carl,pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands.
The professor was much scared.Suddenly he burst into laughter.”With that gun?”asked the professor.Strangely,he didn’t seem frightened of Carl any more.He continued,”You can’t shoot with that antique gun.You should have put it in the museum actually.”“Is this really an antique gun?”asked Carl.”How much is it worth?”“It was worth about 17,000 dollars,”said the professor.”But now you can get 10 dollars for it.”“Why?”asked Carl.The professor replied,”Because,you see,its end is missing.”
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达属于读后续写,要求考生续写两段内容使之与已给出的材料构成一篇完整的短文。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,Carl失业后急需要钱,但没人愿意借给他,有一天他从未拉窗帘的邻居教授家里看到有很多古董,心想偷一个拿出去买可以有很多钱,于是他趁着邻居离开家拿着他的祖父留给他的一把枪从窗户爬进邻居家里,由于那把枪有点长藏不住他的外套里,所以他把枪的末端弄断。
续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:是教授,他在家里留下了一份重要的文件,所以应该写Carl害怕得不假思索地掏出枪来,教授走进房间惊讶而愤怒地问Carl在他家干什么,Carl用颤抖的双手拿枪指着教授说我什么也没偷。放了我,否则我就开枪。第二段开头是:教授很害怕。本段应该写教授看Carl手里的枪似乎不再害怕Carl了,教授说Carl不能用那把古董枪射击,而应该把它放进博物馆,因为这是一把古董枪,并说它本来值17000美元,但它的末端不见了所以现在只能值10美元。
续写时我们要按照已给出的材料中的关键词来写两段内容。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:without a second thought, surprisedly,burst into laughter,any more等高级词汇;that引导的宾语从句Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without a second thought.等高级句式。
