How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up in our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).
24．According to the author of the passage, ________.
A．men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts
B．words did not have written form at first
C．the origin language is a difficult question
D．words came from sounds

A．it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our minds
B．one word is connected with another
C．it can associate one person with another
D．it can recall to us the events of our past
26．In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should ________.
A．choose words with care and accuracy B．use words that can move men to tears
C．use words which sing like music D．become a master of words
27．The best title for this passage would be ________.
A．The meaning of words B．The nature of words
C．The invention of words D．The power of words
C
The world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22. But one school in Potomac, Maryland tries to honour Earth Day every day. Very young children are learning about the environment and taking action to show their love for the Earth.
A child’s world is the world of playing. They love being outside in the open air, playing hide-and-seek, sliding and swinging on playground equipment. But children at St. James Children’s School also add to that fun by picking up rubbish in the school yard. Inside, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse the waste. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.
The children at St. James range from six weeks to six years old. The environmental study begins at age two. Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. Boker says every day at St. James is Earth Day. She mentioned some books, which contain materials that ask children to do something to help the environment and protect the Earth.
At St. James, children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts (新芽) in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden.The students also observe the life cycle of insects. After that, they know it is their job to respect the Earth just like they want others to respect their home.
But do these young children really get the message that their teachers try to communicate? Ms. Boker says yes. A few days later, the kids at St. James will go out to the school garden for the yearly clean-up. But for them, Earth Day will continue for the schooldays ahead as well.
28．What can we know about the children at St. James Children’s School?
A．They learn to save water and electricity at home.
B．They often go out to pick up rubbish in the street.
C．They are not allowed to use playground equipment.
D．They can help prepare the soil to plant flowers and vegetables.
29．Why does the school make the children observe the growth of plants and insects?
A．To help the children write better reports.
B．To let the children enjoy the growth of life.
C．To enrich the children’s knowledge of agriculture.
D．To teach the children the importance of respecting the Earth.
30．What’s Ms. Boker’s attitude towards the way of teaching children at St. James?
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive. C．Proud. D．Anxious.
31．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Children’s love and respect for life. B．The protection of the environment.
C．Earth Day at St. James Children’s School. D．The celebration of Earth Day in schools.
D
Imagine a world without insects. It might sound good at first without creepy-crawly bugs and annoying flies in your apartment. However, the consequences would be disastrous.
The number of insects has dropped by more than half in the past decades, according to British biologist Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse. As insects make up most of the known species on this planet, this data is not good news.
Insects are indeed on the path to extinction, according to the first global scientific review of insect population decline, which was published in the journal Biological Conservation in January 2019. The researchers say intensive agriculture has been the main cause of the decline. Pesticides (杀虫剂), in particular, destroy insect habitats. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors. “Unless we convert our ways of producing food, insects will go down the path of extinction in a few decades.”
What would happen to Earth without insects? It’s almost impossible to predict, but the consequences would be far—reaching. We need insects to pollinate (授粉) crops, recycle plant and animal material, keep the soil healthy and much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat, and the predators (捕食者) of those animals would go hungry as well. The ecosystem would be thrown off balance.
“If insect species losses cannot be halted, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind,” said Sanchez-Bayo, one of the authors of the review. The first step to halt this process is “to engender a society that values the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake”, Sanchez—Bayo suggests. “The obvious place to start is with our children, encouraging environmental awareness from an early age.”
32．What’s people’s general impression of insects?
A．Quite unpleasant. B．Very interesting.
C．Extremely helpful. D．Unexpectedly disastrous.
33．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Change. B．Abandon. C．Expand. D．Simplify.
34．Why are insects so important to Earth according to this article?
A．Insects ensure the earth’s diversity. B．Insects maintain the earth ecosystem.
C．Insects make the soil dry and healthy. D．Insects help slow down climate change.
35．What can we do to stop insect species losses according to Sanchez-Bayo?
A．Exploit nature in a gentle way.
B．Change our way of producing food.
C．Educate younger generation to be aware of it.
D．Provide insects with enough habitats and food.

第二节 读后续写（满分20分）
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。
The Voice of Rigo
Rigo had a loud voice. People were always telling Rigo to be quiet. His mother would tell him to use his quiet voice inside the house because the baby was asleep. His father would ask him to speak quietly in the car so that he could concentrate on his driving. His teacher would tell him to talk quietly so he would not bother others who were studying.
Not only did he have a loud voice, but Rigo liked to talk a lot. Whenever he had time, he would talk with his classmates, sharing everything he considered fun. He liked to yell and shout. Sometimes he just yelled, "Hey!" for no reason. He liked the sound of his very loud voice for he thought it had more penetrating (穿透的) power than that of an actor. But not everyone felt the same way.
When Rigo shouted goodbye as he left for school, his mother shook her head, "Rigo! Be quiet!" When his father drove him to school, Rigo said, "Hey! There's Chris!" He pointed at his friend, who was walking to school. His father shook his head. "Rigo, use a quiet voice in the car." At school, his teacher talked to him three times about using his quiet voice. His classmates shook their heads, throwing an upset look at him when he talked aloud.
Later, Rigo had to sit by himself for a while. His teacher wanted him to practice being quiet. Rigo had to sit quietly for five minutes. It felt like five hours or five days. When the five minutes was up, Rigo went to his desk and sat quietly. It was not easy.
After school, Rigo was waiting for his father when he saw Chris again. "Hey!" he yelled. "Chris! Hey!" The headmaster was walking by. Rigo was sure he was going to get in trouble for his loud voice. He looked quickly at the ground. Maybe the headmaster would keep walking.

Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors.(研究人员表示，集约化农业是造成昆虫灭绝的主要原因。特别是农药,破坏昆虫的栖息地。城市化和气候变化也是重要因素)”可知，昆虫灭绝的原因之一：农业上杀虫剂的使用，以及下文“Unless we convert our ways of producing food, insects will go down the path of extinction in a few decades.(除非我们________生产食物的方式，否则昆虫将在几十年内灭绝)”，根据unless（除非）以及下文“our ways of producing food(我们生产粮食的方式)）”可知，减少或不使用农药可以避免昆虫灭绝，即在农业方式——粮食生产方式做出改变。故选A。
34．
细节理解题。根据“We need insects to pollinate (授粉) crops, recycle plant and animal material, keep the soil healthy and much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat, and the predators (捕食者) of those animals would go hungry as well. The ecosystem would be thrown off balance.(我们需要昆虫授粉(授粉)作物,回收植物和动物材料,保持土壤健康等等。没有昆虫,许多动物将没有吃的,食肉动物(捕食者)的动物也会挨饿。生态系统将失去平衡)”可知，昆虫在农业上帮助授粉，保持土壤健康，为捕食者提供食物，如果没有昆虫，整个生态链会受影响。故选B。
35．
细节理解题。根据“The obvious place to start is with our children, encouraging environmental awareness from an early age.( 很明显，我们应该从孩子开始，从小就鼓励他们有环保意识)”可知Sanchez—Bayo的建议是从儿童教育做起，提高人们的环保意识。故选C。
【七选五解析】
【导语】
本文是应用文。文章介绍了我们需要避免的对学习语言的一些误解。
36．
根据指代关系和下文“In that case, first of all, you need to avoid some misunderstandings about language learning.(在这种情况下，首先，你需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解)”中提到“在这种情况下”可知，设空句中会描述一种“需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解”的情景，F项“Do you want to speak many foreign languages?(你想说多种外语吗?)”中“说多种外语”正是这种情景，符合上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
37．
根据段首小标题“Language learning is difficult”可知，学习语言的第一个误解是“语言学习是困难的”，也就是说真正情况是语言学习并不困难，G项“Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult.(学习一门语言需要时间，但并不难)”与上文“It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. (只有当你不想学的时候，学习一门语言才会变得困难)”分析了让语言学习困难的真正原因和正确学习语言的方法，同时照应本段主题，符合上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
38．
C项“They can’t just all be gifted at languages. (他们不可能都有语言天赋)”是对上文“In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language.(在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言)”的补足说明，用瑞典和荷兰大多数人会说不止一种语言，但他们不可能都有语言天赋这一事例来驳斥“You have to have a gift for learning languages(你必须有学习语言的天赋)”这一误解。故选C项。
39．
设空处是段首小标题，是关于学习语言的另一个误解。根据下文事例“Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than poor English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English.(一些北美的移民除了说蹩脚的英语外，从未学过其他语言。然而，我们在其他国家也遇到过英语说得很流利的人)”可知，本段要证明的是学好一门语言并不一定要生活在说这种语言的地方，由此推知，段首小标题中关于学习语言的另一个误解应该是：你必须生活在说这种语言的地方。故选D项。
40．
根据段首小标题“Only children can learn to speak another language well”可知，学习语言的另一个误解是“只有孩子才能学好一门外语”，也就是说真正情况是，不只有孩子只能学好一门外语，成人也能，E项“I have learned 4 languages since the age of 55.(从55岁开始，我已经学会了4种语言)”有举例的方法证明了成人也能学好语言，符合上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

1．【参考范文】
Paragraph 1：
The headmaster stopped and looked at Rigo. He waited at the roadside until Rigo raised his head. Confusingly, it seemed as if the headmaster had found a great treasure. Rigo twisted uneasily. "Do you like acting?" asked the headmaster. "I've never seen an actor who speaks louder than you. You're sure to become an extraordinary actor." "Me? An extraordinary actor?" Rigo couldn't believe his ears. "Yes, you," the headmaster said. "A good actor must be able to speak aloud on the stage to make himself heard by everyone of his audience. You can do that!" At that moment, Rigo saw his father. "By the way, a good actor knows he should use his quiet voice off the stage," added the headmaster.
Paragraph 2：
He said goodbye to the headmaster and ran to get in his father's car cheerfully. "Dad, the headmaster said I was going to become an extraordinary actor!" he yelled proudly. The next second, he seemed to remember what the headmaster had told him, and lowered his voice, "Yes, I know when to speak at a loud voice." His father was surprised at his change. Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly. Pleased, his father smiled, "Yes, you're to become an extraordinary actor, for yourself, and for the headmaster."
【解析】
【分析】
本文以人物为线索，通过阅读文章可知，Rigo嗓门大，还喜欢大声说笑，大家叫他安静，但他不以为然，还觉得自己的嗓音堪比演员，害得大家直摇头。让他安静几分钟，他都很难做到。有一天，校长来了。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“校长停下来看了看Rigo”.......后面应该写Rigo以为校长要惩罚他，没想到的是校长居然认可他的声音。所以，是校长说了什么或者是做了什么，改变了Rigo ......
②由第二段首句内容“他向校长告别，兴高采烈地跑上他父亲的车。”.......后面应该写Rigo对校长的所做所说感到很开心。接下来要思考的是Rigo有什么变化，他爸爸的反应是什么。
2.续写线索：本以为校长要惩罚他——得到了校长认可——改变了Rigo——Rigo的心情——爸爸的反应。
3.词汇激活
行为类
①喊叫：yell /shout
②喜欢：like/love/be fond of
③能够做某事：be able to do sth/be capable of doing sth
情绪类
①非凡的，杰出的：extraordinary/outstanding/excellent
②快乐地：cheerfully/happily
【点睛】
[高分句型1]. I've never seen an actor who speaks louder than you（who引导的定语从句）
[高分句型2]. Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly.（由what引导的宾语从句和省略that的宾语从句）

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up in our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).
24．According to the author of the passage, ________.
A．men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts
B．words did not have written form at first
C．the origin language is a difficult question
D．words came from sounds
25．The power of words lies in the fact that ________.
A．it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our minds
B．one word is connected with another
C．it can associate one person with another
D．it can recall to us the events of our past
26．In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should ________.
A．choose words with care and accuracy B．use words that can move men to tears
C．use words which sing like music D．become a master of words
27．The best title for this passage would be ________.
A．The meaning of words B．The nature of words
C．The invention of words D．The power of words
C
The world celebrates Earth Day every year on April 22. But one school in Potomac, Maryland tries to honour Earth Day every day. Very young children are learning about the environment and taking action to show their love for the Earth.
A child’s world is the world of playing. They love being outside in the open air, playing hide-and-seek, sliding and swinging on playground equipment. But children at St. James Children’s School also add to that fun by picking up rubbish in the school yard. Inside, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse the waste. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school garden.
The children at St. James range from six weeks to six years old. The environmental study begins at age two. Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. Boker says every day at St. James is Earth Day. She mentioned some books, which contain materials that ask children to do something to help the environment and protect the Earth.
At St. James, children observe the growth of plants from seeds to sprouts (新芽) in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants continue to grow after placing them in the garden.The students also observe the life cycle of insects. After that, they know it is their job to respect the Earth just like they want others to respect their home.
But do these young children really get the message that their teachers try to communicate? Ms. Boker says yes. A few days later, the kids at St. James will go out to the school garden for the yearly clean-up. But for them, Earth Day will continue for the schooldays ahead as well.
28．What can we know about the children at St. James Children’s School?
A．They learn to save water and electricity at home.
B．They often go out to pick up rubbish in the street.
C．They are not allowed to use playground equipment.
D．They can help prepare the soil to plant flowers and vegetables.
29．Why does the school make the children observe the growth of plants and insects?
A．To help the children write better reports.
B．To let the children enjoy the growth of life.
C．To enrich the children’s knowledge of agriculture.
D．To teach the children the importance of respecting the Earth.
30．What’s Ms. Boker’s attitude towards the way of teaching children at St. James?
A．Unconcerned. B．Positive. C．Proud. D．Anxious.
31．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Children’s love and respect for life. B．The protection of the environment.
C．Earth Day at St. James Children’s School. D．The celebration of Earth Day in schools.
D
Imagine a world without insects. It might sound good at first without creepy-crawly bugs and annoying flies in your apartment. However, the consequences would be disastrous.
The number of insects has dropped by more than half in the past decades, according to British biologist Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse. As insects make up most of the known species on this planet, this data is not good news.
Insects are indeed on the path to extinction, according to the first global scientific review of insect population decline, which was published in the journal Biological Conservation in January 2019. The researchers say intensive agriculture has been the main cause of the decline. Pesticides (杀虫剂), in particular, destroy insect habitats. Urbanization and climate change are also significant factors. “Unless we convert our ways of producing food, insects will go down the path of extinction in a few decades.”
What would happen to Earth without insects? It’s almost impossible to predict, but the consequences would be far—reaching. We need insects to pollinate (授粉) crops, recycle plant and animal material, keep the soil healthy and much more. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat, and the predators (捕食者) of those animals would go hungry as well. The ecosystem would be thrown off balance.
“If insect species losses cannot be halted, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind,” said Sanchez-Bayo, one of the authors of the review. The first step to halt this process is “to engender a society that values the natural world, both for what it does for us and for its own sake”, Sanchez—Bayo suggests. “The obvious place to start is with our children, encouraging environmental awareness from an early age.”
32．What’s people’s general impression of insects?
A．Quite unpleasant. B．Very interesting.
C．Extremely helpful. D．Unexpectedly disastrous.
33．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Change. B．Abandon. C．Expand. D．Simplify.
34．Why are insects so important to Earth according to this article?
A．Insects ensure the earth’s diversity. B．Insects maintain the earth ecosystem.
C．Insects make the soil dry and healthy. D．Insects help slow down climate change.
35．What can we do to stop insect species losses according to Sanchez-Bayo?
A．Exploit nature in a gentle way.
B．Change our way of producing food.
C．Educate younger generation to be aware of it.
D．Provide insects with enough habitats and food.

第二节 读后续写（满分20分）
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。
The Voice of Rigo
Rigo had a loud voice. People were always telling Rigo to be quiet. His mother would tell him to use his quiet voice inside the house because the baby was asleep. His father would ask him to speak quietly in the car so that he could concentrate on his driving. His teacher would tell him to talk quietly so he would not bother others who were studying.
Not only did he have a loud voice, but Rigo liked to talk a lot. Whenever he had time, he would talk with his classmates, sharing everything he considered fun. He liked to yell and shout. Sometimes he just yelled, "Hey!" for no reason. He liked the sound of his very loud voice for he thought it had more penetrating (穿透的) power than that of an actor. But not everyone felt the same way.
When Rigo shouted goodbye as he left for school, his mother shook her head, "Rigo! Be quiet!" When his father drove him to school, Rigo said, "Hey! There's Chris!" He pointed at his friend, who was walking to school. His father shook his head. "Rigo, use a quiet voice in the car." At school, his teacher talked to him three times about using his quiet voice. His classmates shook their heads, throwing an upset look at him when he talked aloud.
Later, Rigo had to sit by himself for a while. His teacher wanted him to practice being quiet. Rigo had to sit quietly for five minutes. It felt like five hours or five days. When the five minutes was up, Rigo went to his desk and sat quietly. It was not easy.
After school, Rigo was waiting for his father when he saw Chris again. "Hey!" he yelled. "Chris! Hey!" The headmaster was walking by. Rigo was sure he was going to get in trouble for his loud voice. He looked quickly at the ground. Maybe the headmaster would keep walking.

These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.(所有我们所知道的只是，人，不同于动物，不知怎么发明了某些声音来表达思想、情感、行为和事物，以便相互交流；后来统一了某些被称为字母的符号，这些字母可以连起来代表那些声音，可以写下来。我们把那些声音叫做文字，不管它们是口语还是书面语)”可知，文字是逐渐形成的，起初没有书面的形式。故选B。

【导语】
本文是应用文。文章介绍了我们需要避免的对学习语言的一些误解。
36．
根据指代关系和下文“In that case, first of all, you need to avoid some misunderstandings about language learning.(在这种情况下，首先，你需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解)”中提到“在这种情况下”可知，设空句中会描述一种“需要避免一些关于语言学习的误解”的情景，F项“Do you want to speak many foreign languages?(你想说多种外语吗?)”中“说多种外语”正是这种情景，符合上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
37．
根据段首小标题“Language learning is difficult”可知，学习语言的第一个误解是“语言学习是困难的”，也就是说真正情况是语言学习并不困难，G项“Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult.(学习一门语言需要时间，但并不难)”与上文“It is only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. (只有当你不想学的时候，学习一门语言才会变得困难)”分析了让语言学习困难的真正原因和正确学习语言的方法，同时照应本段主题，符合上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
38．
C项“They can’t just all be gifted at languages. (他们不可能都有语言天赋)”是对上文“In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language.(在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言)”的补足说明，用瑞典和荷兰大多数人会说不止一种语言，但他们不可能都有语言天赋这一事例来驳斥“You have to have a gift for learning languages(你必须有学习语言的天赋)”这一误解。故选C项。
39．
设空处是段首小标题，是关于学习语言的另一个误解。根据下文事例“Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than poor English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English.(一些北美的移民除了说蹩脚的英语外，从未学过其他语言。然而，我们在其他国家也遇到过英语说得很流利的人)”可知，本段要证明的是学好一门语言并不一定要生活在说这种语言的地方，由此推知，段首小标题中关于学习语言的另一个误解应该是：你必须生活在说这种语言的地方。故选D项。
40．
根据段首小标题“Only children can learn to speak another language well”可知，学习语言的另一个误解是“只有孩子才能学好一门外语”，也就是说真正情况是，不只有孩子只能学好一门外语，成人也能，E项“I have learned 4 languages since the age of 55.(从55岁开始，我已经学会了4种语言)”有举例的方法证明了成人也能学好语言，符合上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

1．Dear Chris,
I’m very glad to tell you our extracurricular activities which were started last term. Twelve extracurricular activities, such as Gardening, Cooking and First Aid, have been arranged this term and there will be more next term. All the subjects can help to arouse students’ interests and improve students’ operating skills. As a result activities are quite popular with students.
As for me, I have chosen Gardening because Gardening can provide me with a chance to get close to nature. At the same time, I can plant trees and flowers, which can help cultivate my character.
Next summer vacation when you come to China, you can have a taste of the grapes planted by myself.
Best wishes.

Paragraph 1：
The headmaster stopped and looked at Rigo. He waited at the roadside until Rigo raised his head. Confusingly, it seemed as if the headmaster had found a great treasure. Rigo twisted uneasily. "Do you like acting?" asked the headmaster. "I've never seen an actor who speaks louder than you. You're sure to become an extraordinary actor." "Me? An extraordinary actor?" Rigo couldn't believe his ears. "Yes, you," the headmaster said. "A good actor must be able to speak aloud on the stage to make himself heard by everyone of his audience. You can do that!" At that moment, Rigo saw his father. "By the way, a good actor knows he should use his quiet voice off the stage," added the headmaster.
Paragraph 2：
He said goodbye to the headmaster and ran to get in his father's car cheerfully. "Dad, the headmaster said I was going to become an extraordinary actor!" he yelled proudly. The next second, he seemed to remember what the headmaster had told him, and lowered his voice, "Yes, I know when to speak at a loud voice." His father was surprised at his change. Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly. Pleased, his father smiled, "Yes, you're to become an extraordinary actor, for yourself, and for the headmaster."
【解析】
【分析】
本文以人物为线索，通过阅读文章可知，Rigo嗓门大，还喜欢大声说笑，大家叫他安静，但他不以为然，还觉得自己的嗓音堪比演员，害得大家直摇头。让他安静几分钟，他都很难做到。有一天，校长来了。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“校长停下来看了看Rigo”.......后面应该写Rigo以为校长要惩罚他，没想到的是校长居然认可他的声音。所以，是校长说了什么或者是做了什么，改变了Rigo ......
②由第二段首句内容“他向校长告别，兴高采烈地跑上他父亲的车。”.......后面应该写Rigo对校长的所做所说感到很开心。接下来要思考的是Rigo有什么变化，他爸爸的反应是什么。
2.续写线索：本以为校长要惩罚他——得到了校长认可——改变了Rigo——Rigo的心情——爸爸的反应。
3.词汇激活
行为类
①喊叫：yell /shout
②喜欢：like/love/be fond of
③能够做某事：be able to do sth/be capable of doing sth
情绪类
①非凡的，杰出的：extraordinary/outstanding/excellent

【点睛】
[高分句型1]. I've never seen an actor who speaks louder than you（who引导的定语从句）
[高分句型2]. Rigo then told him what happened just now and promised he would practice speaking quietly.（由what引导的宾语从句和省略that的宾语从句）
