Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2022·长沙一中月考)

The potential of a simple gesture in a time of crisis was illustrated when the then 99-year-old British army veteran Captain Tom Moore decided to raise some money for health workers and patients.

Inspired by the excellent treatment he had received in hospital for skin cancer in 2018, in early April he promised to complete 100 laps of his garden, using his walking frame for support, before his 100th birthday at the end of the month. His aim was to raise a modest ￡1,000.

But the news of Captain Tom’s efforts soon reached the ears of a nation desperate for some good news amid the lockdown and captured the public’s imagination. He was featured in newspapers and on TV, and even teamed up with the singer Michael Ball and a health workers’ choir to record a charity version of You’ll Never Walk Alone, becoming the oldest person ever to top the charts in the U．K..

On April 16, Captain Tom completed his 100 laps ahead of schedule, having raised more than ￡17 million.“I never dreamt I would be involved in an occasion such as this，”he announced.

But this was just the beginning. The enthusiasm for Captain Tom showed no sign of becoming less as people admired his efforts in different ways, such as knitting dolls and painting murals (壁画)．By the time he reached his 100th birthday on April 30, he had raised nearly ￡33 million，which was used to provide comfort and care for National Health Service workers.

What is his response? “To all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment... the sun will shine on you again, and the clouds will go away.”

“I’ve never been someone who has sat around，”he laughed, adding that he enjoyed the challenge.“The first lap was the hardest, but after that I just got used to it.” And he believes the secret of his success—and also his long life—is simple: It’s all about having the right mindset. You’ve got to be hopeful and to think that things will get better.

Ⅲ.读后续写

(2022·福建省龙岩一中高三月考试题)

“Now, parents and students separate into two groups. You will be reunited at the end of the campus tour. ”

Groups of incoming freshmen happily left their parents upon hearing this announcement. I was less than thrilled about starting college, let alone leaving my mother’s side to tour the campus with other freshmen；I felt a little anxious.

We followed the senior tour guide. The other freshmen chatted and made casual introductions as I dragged behind. How could I have believed I was ready for this? After all, it had only been a few months since I left the hospital. I was feeling better for the first time in years. But college. . . ?

My thinking was interrupted by a sweet female voice, “Hi, I’m Jennifer. ” “I’m Lauren, ”I replied. “Where do you prefer to live? At home or on campus? ”she smiled. “I’m not sure, ”I said. “You should live on campus！It will be a lot of fun! ”she said. Before I could reply, the tour guide announced it was time to create our schedules and select the courses we wanted to take.

We crowded into the Student Activity Center. Three seniors handed out thick course bulletins(课程公告)and forms that needed to be filled out. All around me, the sounds of turning papers and writing sounded like those given by an alarm clock. Others seemed to be moving through the process quickly but I hadn’t even opened my course catalog (目录)．

“Focus, ”I told myself. “Just read through the catalog and find the courses you like and a schedule that works. ”Psychology A or B, Geology 101, English, History, sections 1, 2, 3. . . The list went on and on.

I panicked and almost started to cry. How was I supposed to know how to complete it？I was just relearning how to live in the real world, and they wanted me to make a schedule. How I wished someone could help me.

注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右，

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Soon, other freshmen were handing in their forms.___________________________________

参考范文：

Soon, other freshmen were handing in their forms. Many of them rushed out to meet their parents. I couldn’t breathe and was feeling anxious. My head was pounding. Moments later, I was crying. And several students started to stare at me. One of the seniors in charge walked over to my table. “What’s the matter？” she asked impatiently. “I... I can’t do this！” I said. “All you have to do is make your schedule, just like everybody else，” she said, clearly annoyed.

Then, I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I looked back and found Jennifer standing behind me. “Everything is alright，” she told the senior. “I’ll help her.” The senior walked away. “What’s wrong, sweetie？” Jennifer asked. Hearing Jennifer’s kind words, I cried even harder, saying, “It’s just too much！” Then Jennifer put her arm around me and said, “Let me instruct you.” She then guided me through the process step by step until I completed my schedule. Later, when saying goodbye, we made a promise to keep in touch.
