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。
There are a number of volunteer organizations out there that deal in things like clothing donation and the sale of used books. Retired schoolteacher Cathy has been a member of such an organization, VNSA, since 2012. Her duties involve working throughout the year to help prepare the books for their February sale and acting as personnel manager for the sale. That means she helps coordinate (协调) all the other volunteers who help out before, during, and after the event.
It was before the 2019 book sale and Cathy once again found herself sitting among a towering pile of books and sorting through them to ensure that they would be in good enough condition to resell. As she was sorting, she came upon a book, wrinkled and broken. Though she didn’t like doing it, the only remaining choice for her was to throw it away.
A greedy book lover herself, Cathy felt guilty about throwing away any book. Before she threw it away, she decided to check for more serious damage inside that might justify her giving it up. She opened the cover and went through the pages when she noticed something unusual.
Going through the pages, Cathy was surprised to see that a part had been hollowed out (挖空)inside the book. Obviously, something was hidden in that rather expertly hollowed space. She looked down and saw that the book’s previous owner had hidden four packages in the space, each containing ten $100 bills. Cathy’s first thought was that the bills were toy money that perhaps a kid had hidden inside as part of some childish game or something.

But Cathy soon realized that these were real $100 bills.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But Cathy soon realized that these were real $ 100 bills. Whoever had owned the book had chosen to hide $ 4,000 inside the book. Cathy’s second thought upon seeing the money was that this was sufficient to do charity. She didn’t bother considering keeping the money herself. It just didn’t feel right to keep it for any reason. Regardless of how much good she thought she might be able to do with the money, Catchy decided that the only realistic choice left to her was to return it to its owner.
Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner. Using this name, Cathy might be able to find its rightful owner. Still, it would take a little digging. Thankfully, the book’s previous owner happened to have a pretty unusual last name. This made Cathy’s Internet search much easier. After only about ten minutes online, Cathy found them. The money belonged to a man. So thankful was he for Cathy’s honesty that he actually ended up donating a generous amount to VNSA to show his gratitude.

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。
Jack and Rose were sitting face to face. At this moment, the landlord came in and asked, “Are you sure you do not rent the house any more?” He kept silent and she only shook her head. They were going to divorce, so it was obvious that they would not continue renting the house any more.
Then the landlord began examining the house. After looking around,he screamed, “Goddamn! See how you have ruined my house? The walls are full of nails! How could I rent the house to others?"
Jack said,"The room is too small and can hardly accommodate all loads of our stuff. So we could only hang them on the walls."The landlord did not listen to him and turned around up to the floor.
Rose began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here. On the night of their marriage, he felt deeply guilty to her, saying,“I feel so sorry for you for having you live in this small room. In the future I will earn a lot of money to buy our own house.”
The room was only 13 square meters with two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her to hang her bag and the other for hanging umbrellas. At that time,she threw all her stuff such as her bag and umbrella on the floor once she entered the room, staring at the whole mess and feeling terribly upset.
There were three nails on the left wall, on which he hung his clothes yesterday. After she lived in the room, he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing.
There were four nails on the right wall that were used to fix their wedding photo frame. But now there were only four nails without the frame. She still remembered he got hurt on his fingers when trying to drive the nails home. It was her who pushed him to receive an injection against tetanus(破伤风)。
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The landlord tried to pry(撬动,撬开) the nails out when complaining at the same time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They hung all the things back to the wall.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The landlord tried to pry(撬动,撬开) the nails out when complaining at the same time. After the nails were removed, the walls were left with numerous holes.Seeing this,Rose felt harshly heartbroken as if her heart was pierced through those holes and bleeding nonstop. All of a sudden, she sprang from her seat and exclaimed,"Stop! Stop! We will continue renting the house!” Jack looked at her with great surprise,and then turned round,tears over his face.
They hung all the things back to the wall. Jack asked Rose, “Are you really willing to lead a tough life with me?” She dusted the ash off her hands and looked at the walls with loads of stuff on them satisfactorily, saying,“Yes! For me,it is not a suffering to live."Rose finally came to understand that their marriage was like a wall full of numerous holes. But if all the nails were still in their own places,the wall was still undamaged and reliable.

【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jack和Rose这一对夫妻由于决定离婚而不再租赁房东的房子,房东抱怨他们把房子的墙上钉了太多的钉子。他们开始回忆房间里这些钉子的来历以及它们背后的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“房东一边抱怨一边试图把钉子撬出来。”可知,第一段应该描写钉子被拔出来以后发生的事情,可以写Jack和Rose在钉子被拔出来以后的心理感受以及所做出的反应。由于下一段的开头是“They hung all the things back to the wall.(他们把所有的东西都挂回墙上。)”可知,续写的第一段中应该写出他们最终决定和好,重新租回房子。
②由第二段首句内容“他们把所有的东西都挂回墙上。”可知,第二段应描写他们和好以后的事情,并且为不离婚的决定给出一个合理的解释。
2.续写线索:(房东)拔钉子——伤心——决定续租——重新挂东西——复合原因——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.大叫,呼喊:exclaim/shout loudly/yell
②.突然起身:spring/stand up suddenly
③.续租:continue renting /continue to rent

2021届湖南省雅礼中学 2021 届高三月考(三)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Work is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early immigrants came to this country they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude still influences America today. Work is not only important for the salary, but also for social and psychological working, being productive. For most Americans, they are what they do. What happens, then, when a person retires at the age of sixty-five or seventy? It’s easy to imagine that retirement is no easy thing. Retirees often feel they are unproductive and no longer needed by others.
Once people retire, they may also get into financial trouble. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. After retirement, they have to change their lifestyles. They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel, and other necessities.
Of course, not all senior citizens feel sad when they are in face of retirement. Working for so many years, they eventually have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies such as reading, traveling or joining some senior citizen clubs. Some continue to work part time; others choose to do volunteer work like helping young people to get started in new business.
American government is taking steps to ease the problems of retired people. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services, such as free courses, food service, and help with housework. It is wise to do so. Retired citizens are an important part of the population and their special needs must be concerned about. After all, everyone will be a senior citizen someday.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Work plays an extremely important role in American culture, so people find retirement difficult as they may feel useless without jobs. Retirement can also bring financial problems as Social Security checks don’t provide enough money. However, some senior citizens feel happy about retirement as they finally get time to do what they really want. American government is solving retired citizens’ problems and concerning their special needs, which is wise and necessary, because everyone will get old.

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 in-laws(公公婆婆)loved to travel and every winter would visit different countries. While they were gone, some friends moved into their house so it would not be left empty. This year it was decided that I would be the one to move into their house. Fortunately, I was allowed to return home on the weekend.
I tried to keep myself busy. Each day I walked down to the bottom of the driveway to collect the mail, sewed curtains for four large windows, filled the bird feeders, cleaned the house from top to bottom. watched an occasional TV show and spent a disappointing couple of hours trying to get on the dial-up Internet. Chatting with friends and family on the phone helped comfort me, but these conversations and the simple chores didn't totally fill my time. Basically I did whatever I could to keep my mind off the fact that I was there alone.
On Friday I would head back to the city to meet up with friends and spend time with my husband and our family. On Monday, the car filled with groceries. I'd make the drive back to my in-laws' house.
During my third week in the country the temperature dropped and a massive snowstorm set in. The driveway was filled quickly with wet, heavy snow. I hadn't seen that much snow since I was a child. and lovely as it was. I feared that I wouldn't be able to get out. It was very cold and every day the snow kept falling. On Thursday night it started to rain. With a sinking heart I knew I wouldn't be going home that weekend.
Disappointed and feeling very low, I worried about not having enough food. What would I do if the power went out? What if I fell ill?
Friday morning I awoke to a winter wonderland. The trees were weighed down with ice and the surrounding countryside was blanketed in a deep hill of unbroken white. I felt very helpless.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Suddenly I heard a noise and I quickly ran across the room to the window. It was freezing cold outside, the light wind blowing into the house. I saw a man that I had never met clearing the driveway. The noise I heard was him trying to break through the ice with nothing more than a clearing tool. Who was this man? Why was he clearing the driveway? Although the man wore a thick coat and a scarf, he still felt bitterly cold.
As I stood there watching, I realized that I might have a slim chance that I would get out. Thrilled, I put on my coat and boots and went out to help him. It took us four hours to clear that driveway. He did most of the heavy work. It turned out that he was my in-laws' closest neighbour and before they left, Mom had asked him to take good care of me. She also explained to him how important it was for me to go back to the city on the weekend. My heart was filled with thankfulness to my in-laws and this kind man.

The darkness was gathering as she wobbled(颤颤巍巍)in high heels along the side of the highway. The car had come to an unexpected stop,and like a teenager she did the only thing she could think of...get out and walk.
It was cold and late,and home was far away. This could be a long night. If.only someone would stop and offer her a ride. She prayed for help and dragged herself forward.
The lights of a truck shone from behind as it approached. “Maybe he will stop," she hoped. The brake lights flashed on as it stopped. Next instant, the cab door opened. A wordless invitation was extended and she understood. Without hesitation the girl climbed up into the cab and closed the door. Slowly the truck pulled back onto the road and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.
I woke up in a cold sweat, alarmed. Was that a dream or was it a vision? It was unbelievably real, and the girl was my daughter! I jumped from my bed and ran to her room. Her bed was empty.
I stood in horror trying to think why she had not come home. As the mental fog began to lift,I remembered she was visiting her friend that evening. Perhaps she stayed there for the night. It was 1:30 a.m.,but I raced to the phone and dialed a number.
“Hello?”The voice was heavy with sleep.
“Hey. Sorry to wake you. Becki didn't come home tonight and I was wondering if she stayed at your place?"
“No,she left here a few hours ago. She should have been home at least by midnight!” The voice on the other end began to reflect my own panic.
Over the next forty-five minutes I alternated between lying in pray and pacing the floor in anxiety.
At 2:15 a.m. lights appeared as a car turned up on our long driveway. I could tell immediately that it was not my daughter's car.

“Mom,she gave me a ride home."Becki said.

【答案】My face pressed against the window and I found it hard to breathe. The car pulled in front of the house, and out of it emerged my precious daughter, making her way up the steps. Tears stinging(使刺痛)my eyes,I threw open the door,pulled her inside and hugged her tightly. The dream was just too real and I could hardly believe I was now having my daughter in my hug. I wondered if it was because my pray was answered. Then through my blurred vision(模糊的视野)I saw a lady stepping out of the car.
“Mom, she gave me a ride home."Becki said. “My car broke down on the highway and without her help, I would never have made it home in my high heels. " she continued, exposing her blistered(起泡的)ankles. My heart shuddered(一想起就怕/担心/难受) at the thought of how painfully Becki staggered(踉跄) along the dark highway. She must be an angel for Becki! I approached the lady and invited her inside. Now,I was definitely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.

这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】读后续写要求考生首先要读懂已有信息,不仅能读懂字面含义,还要理清文章的脉络。续篇这篇短文时,考生要搞清楚故事的发展进程、前因后果、地理位置、人物思想情感的变化等。在此基础上,考生要顺着文章的思路,根据线索,发挥想象,对其后的情节进行合理预测,并用语言表达出来。
文章讲述了作者梦到自己的女儿在高速路上打车的场景。醒来后发现女儿真的不在家,而且作者从女儿的朋友处确认她已经离开,本该最迟在午夜回到家。作者很担心,在家里焦急地踱步。后来发现有车停靠近家的方向,但不是女儿的车。
根据所给第一段的开头“My face pressed against the window and I found it hard.to breathe.”我把脸凑在窗户边去看,感觉很难呼吸,可知,后面可以接着写:车最终在作者家门口停下来,作者的女儿从车里出来,毫发无损。作者松了口气,并告诉了女儿她的噩梦。在与女儿谈话时,作者注意到了车里的女人。
根据所给第二段的开头“ 'Mom, she gave me a ride home.' Becki said.” Becki说“妈妈,她是开车送我回家的人。”可知,后面可以接着写:作者女儿给她解释坐别人车回来的原因,以及事情的经过。作者看到女儿受伤的脚踝很心痛,同时邀请女士进屋,对她帮助女儿的行为表示感谢。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些复杂句式和高级语法,例如:The car pulled in front of the house, and out of it emerged my precious daughter, making her way up the steps. 中 out of it表示地点的介词短语放在句子开头,后面句子用了全倒装;用making现在分词作状语。I wondered if it was because my pray was answered.中if引导宾语从句,because引导表语从句;My car broke down on the highway and without her help, I would never have made it home in my high heels.中用了虚拟语气。
