01

阅读下面短文，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 wife, Megan, and I went out to dinner with an old friend who we had not seen for a while. There had been some talk of COVID-19 on the news, but it was early in the outbreak and people were still going about their daily routines. Even though everyone in group felt perfectly, we took precautions (预防): we washed our hands with soap and used hand sanitizer (洗手液), did not share food, and had no significantly close contact.

A few days later, our friend called and told us that she had tested positive for the coronavirus. She had felt some mild symptoms for a day or so after that dinner and was able to be tested because she is a doctor. On the following day, I started to feel a little tired and my head was a bit cloudy. I decided to stay in the master bedroom away from the rest of my family. The next morning, I woke up with a 39-degree fever. That was when we realized that I might have caught the virus from our friend.

At once, Megan called our state’s coronavirus hotline, who then called in our primary care doctor and the head of our local hospital system’s coronavirus team. We explained that we had been in contact with someone who had been tested positive, and I was having symptoms. They quickly approved me to receive a test at an urgent care center located 5 kilometer’s drive from my house. The result made my heart sink-I was also tested positive, and the local hospital didn’t have the facilities for my disease. As a mild case, I was recommended to stay home and quarantine (隔离) myself.

Following the doctor’s advice, Megan and I quarantined ourselves and our kids. With my symptoms developing, I started isolation in the bedroom, and the only interaction I had with Megan was when she brought in food. She slept on a small couch in our home office away from the kids’ rooms. She also minimized her contact with our kids in case she was carrying the virus.

Para.1:

We decided to call everyone we had contacted over the course of the past week.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Para.2:

Though worried about the seriousness of the virus, I knew I had to be brave

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Para.1：

We decided to call everyone we had contacted over the course of the past week. Megan insisted we should let them know that I had tested positive. Hard as it was to inform people that we might have given them the coronavirus, it was the responsible thing to do. To our pleasant surprise, all of our friends showed their understanding and support upon hearing the news. To cheer us up, one of my wife’s best friends even baked a cake with the letters “Stay Strong” on it and delivered it to our front door.

Para.2：

Though worried about the seriousness of the virus, I knew I had to be brave. I made sure to get plenty of rest and did some exercise to stay as healthy as I could. I also managed to ease the worries of Megan and our kids during our quarantine by spending more time doing online video-chats with them. Within the following week, my fever started to fade and I could feel my head clearing. The next test showed a cheering result. It came back negative. Had it not been for the love and care from those around me, I wouldn’t have made it.

Larrella was born in Deora, a small village in eastern India, but moved to the city of Mumbai when she was 3. In 2020,when the pandemic(疫情)broke out, the family returned to her ancestral village to wait out the pandemic.

It greatly shocked her when she found that attending school was uncommon in Deora, where almost half of the villagers couldn't read. Unable to afford textbooks, many families often withdrew their children from schools. They didn't wish to educate their children, many of whom had to work in the fields with parents though some had the desire to read.

Larrella, the college girl with a strong sense of social responsibility, has been trying to seize opportunities to open doors for others. She often speaks at inter college events on the right to education and enjoys a high reputation among college students.

Used to taking on challenges, Larrella was determined to do something for the children. One day last July, Larrella sat down with her family elders and proposed the idea of setting up a library. Many shook their heads in disagreement--this wasn't how a young girl should spend her time.

After many discussions, Larrella finally convinced them and gained access to her relative’s guesthouse, mending it with $67 that she'd won in public speaking awards. She took the help of her uncle, Akbar, and cousin, Nawaz, and got to work. Walls were repainted, the bamboo roof was repaired and lights and bookshelves were fixed, and the room was filled with chairs and a long table. Vivid charts stuck on the walls--from anatomy (解剖) to transportation, lightened the space. Looking at the newly decorated “library”, Larrella couldn't hold back her excitement while imagining the children reading books here by light.

All was ready except books. So what Larrella was desperate to do next was fill the shelves with books. She drew on all her savings and purchased many hooks suitable for children online. But her effort was not enough.

She wanted to get more help.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The big day finally came.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】She wanted to get more help. To ensure children get access to more books, Larrella took pictures of the library and uploaded them online, calling on students to donate books to the children library. Before long, hundreds of new and secondhand books poured in, but they needed checking, classifying and arranging in order on the shelves, which took Larrella, her uncle and cousin a whole week. Tired as Larrella was, a smile lit up her face when she pictured the scene where children were buried in reading by the book-filled shelves.

The big day finally came. Several children stepped in curiously, asking Larrella, “Can we read the books?” “Sure. Welcome!” Larrella encouraged them. Some chose what they liked, while others hesitated. Realizing they had trouble reading, Larrella gathered them in a corner, teaching them from the very beginning. Soon more children joined in. Every night Larrella spared some time to give lessons so that more children could gain knowledge from the books. Larrella’s efforts opened the wisdom door for them, which would surely make a great difference to their lives.

On Friday the 13th of March, my six-year-old son Jack came home with a huge packet of worksheets in his schoolbag. Soon after, I received the email I had feared was coming-Jack’s school would be closed for at least the next two weeks. The COVID-19 quarantine (隔离期) had begun. At least now I would know he was safe at home. I spent the weekend gathering supplies such as pencils, crayons and paper and setting up a classroom on my dining room table.

On the first day of what was referred to as "distance learning", I realized I was being overly optimistic, and I only had one child to teach. He suffers from hearing loss and wears hearing aids. In school, he receives special services from a teacher of the deaf, a speech therapist (治疗专家)，an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. In addition to his major classes, there was also his music class, art class, computer education, the library, and physical education. I was suddenly ten teachers all at the same time, and the work began piling up!

Although my job as a freelance (自由职业的) writer allows me to work according to my own schedule, I would normally work when Jack was at school. Now that time was taken up with school days at home. This meant I was teaching for most of the day and then working as a writer all afternoon into the evening. Many days didn’t stop until bedtime, and then we were right back at it the next morning. This was the new normal and it was stressful. More than once, I found myself feeling angry for no particular reason. On one occasion. I shouted angrily at my printer simply because it wouldn’t work properly.

One day, I was helping Jack with a short journal. As part of his class worksheets, he was required to write and draw about the interesting things that happened at home. I secretly cheered at the opportunity to apply my professional skills to my son’s education.

I told him all the things I knew about story writing.

After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】参考范文：

I told him all the things I knew about story writing. I sorted out a few magazines with my articles and read to him in a loud and clear voice. I even acted out some of the stories. However, Jack didn’t seem to pay much attention. Turning the crayon over in his hand, he looked at me, then at the blank piece of paper. I remembered how I enjoyed the quiet afternoons typing away on my laptop and thought he might need space to build up his story. I told Jack he could start writing and left him to get on with it.

After half an hour, I found that Jack’s paper was still blank. Stress and impatience burned in my stomach, I knocked heavily on the dining room table and was ready to lecture him on how to be a good student. Instead, Jack raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes. “I’m scared, Mom,” he sobbed. “You are always angry.” I was speechless. Thinking about the past two weeks, I realized what a horrible teacher I had been I told Jack we could take an afternoon off. The journal could wait until we filled the day with some happy memories.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Koch began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom at Edgewood Elementary School in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. One September afternoon a few weeks into the school year, she received a call from Ann Phillips, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter's tools for online learning.

Julia immediately knew something was wrong with Ann. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Julia had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were so jumbled（混乱的）that Julia could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Ann had fallen four times that day. Julia called her principal, Charlie Lovelady, who assured her that he would call and check on Ann himself.

Just like Julia, Charlie could barely understand Phillips. He suspected she might be having a stroke（中风）—he recognized the signs from when his own father had suffered one. Charlie was able to make out the word "kids" and immediately became concerned that Ann's two grand-children, aged six and eight, were probably home alone with her—she is their primary guardian—and scared. Charlie asked his office manager to send an ambulance to the grandmother's home. Then Charlie called Vandiebilt Mathews and Keytria But-Walker, two deans in the school district, to tell them what was going on. Both of them dropped everything and drove to the family's home.

注意：

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

When they pulled up less than ten minutes later, the emergency workers were treating Phillips.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But the school's crisis response is only one piece of the community's extraordinary efforts.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Paragraph 1：

When they pulled up less than ten minutes later，the emergency workers were treating Phillips. The quick response from Julia and Charlie saved Ann’s life. She arrived at the hospital in time to get treatment and before chronic damage occurred. “If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here,” said Ann from her hospital bed about a month after her stroke. Thanks to an extended stay in the hospital, she has regained most of the movement throughout her body except for one hand and a portion of her mouth, which affects her speech. “I’m proud that people responded so quickly that it did make a difference for Mrs. Phillips,” says Julia. “I am so pleased to be part of such a caring community.”

Paragraph 2：

But the school’s crisis response is only one piece of the community’s extraordinary efforts. Another family with young children took in the two girls. When that became too much to handle during the day with at-home learning, school contacted the local Boys and Girls Club, where the girls now spend their days as part of a program to help working parents. They return to the host family at night. Virtual learning has been a challenge across the country, but in Muskegon Heights it has helped the community grow closer. Many teachers there gave their personal phone numbers to students and families in case they needed extra help. In this case, the exchange is literally life-altering, for people care about each other, and they don’t just say the words. They just follow through.

In January 2020, my life wasn’t just great. I was the youngest in my amazing group of best friends, I had managed to secure 8 spot on the swim team. Then when February began, I had the best Sweet Sixteen a girl could ask for. Shortly after my birthday, my team traveled for week in Hawaii.

Little did we know we would return to chaos and a complete change of our way of life. It was March 13 and there was talk of school shutting down for two weeks. We were all excited, but on top of the news of the day, some students pulled the fire alarm and we found ourselves in the pouring rain on the wet, muddy field. About to be dismissed for what was only supposed to be a long spring break, my best friends, who I had seen practically every day, made promises to each other about how we would stay close during the lockdown.

Shortly into quarantine(隔离期), I found myself taking up hobbies like learning French, catching up on TV shows, learning piano, and doing anything I could to keep myself busy. At the time, online school was a complete joke. It was all homework because the teachers didn’t know how to teach online yet. Looking back on March 13th, I felt like a fool for thinking two weeks would be a solution to COVID-19 pandemic(流行病). Months went by and the new school year began. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I went from training in the pool for fifteen hours a week to zero. My desire to catch up on hobbies went away, and the pain of missing my friends came. I was in a battle for my mental and physical health.

Still, all the same, I felt ever so determined to climb out of the darkness. With the holidays around the corner, things started to look up. Even though it wasn’t warm enough, I was confident about finding the new year’s spirit. It was different this year but I still looked forward to the normal activities: New year’s eve dinner, opening gifts with my family on New Year’s Day, no school for two whole weeks!

I made a New Year’s resolution to become more devoted to my studies. As I did that, I found the college conversation became less stressful. I thought about all the possibilities for my future, and the passions I would pursue. I became more excited about the unknown. As I allowed myself to embrace the future, everything started to become harmonious. We were getting a new term in a matter of weeks, and I had my friends and family. My larger world and my unknown but exciting future became clearer.

It was eight o'clock on a May morning, and Micah, my 17-year-old daughter, was in our bonus room upstairs. It had been her temporary eleventh-grade classroom ever since schools had moved to remote learning due to the pandemic （疫情）.

From the kitchen, I listened for the sound of her tapping on her laptop. I resisted the urge to check on her. Way too often, Micah was texting friends and commenting on their posts about the fun they were having together. We'd barely left the house for 10 weeks straight.

"Mom, everyone is hanging out today!" Micah's voice came from upstairs. "Why can't I?"

I went up the stairs. Micah was lying on the floor wearing pajamas（睡衣）, her laptop, school iPad and cell phone in front of her. "It's not fair," she said. I have no one I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18 and can do what I want."

We'd had this conversation before. Still, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I was sick of having to stay at home too. Even though Micah and I were home together more than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate worlds. "Wanna watch TV later?" I asked. "No, thanks." Micah shook her head.

"In a few weeks you'll be going to sports camp,'' I added "That's something you can look forward to." I closed the door. I was used to Micah's rejection, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is heathy, but I worried if I didn't find a way to bond with my girl soon, I might never be close with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already convinced herself she didn't need me anymore. Maybe she was right. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to reach her.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】That evening. I was surfing online and saw a friend’s children playing with their new cat. An idea hit me. “Why not get her a pet?” I thought to myself. Acting on a sudden inspiration, I logged in a pet shelter website and went straight to Micah’s room. "Sweetie, I've got a surprise for you." I showed her the pictures of those cats that she could adopt. With her mouth wide opening, she simply couldn’t take her eyes off those cute creatures. Finally she pointed to a baby cat with yellow spots on the head.

“This is the one I want "she said, smiling. We paid online and the next day the little angel was delivered to our house. Micah gently scooped it up into her arms and planted her face into the soft fur and then Micah smiled at me with a tender look, "thank you, mum." A huge wave of warmth flooded all over my body and it seemed like a wall between us torn down. My silence drew her attention and she looked at me again, throwing herself in my arms. “I love you, mum.”
