主题语境:人与自我　做人与做事

There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident,only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.

He was a brilliant,creative,and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world,so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then,he realised that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him.“Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”

He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied,“Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.”

Filled with excitement,the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.He wrote twice a week,testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience,sense of humour,optimism,and faith.

It was difficult to write those letters,especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.

The letter said,“Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”

No matter what circumstances life may present,we all have unique experiences,abilities,and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个聪明的男人,在交通事故中失去双腿和左臂后,凭借自己的能力和才华,给监狱里的犯人写了充满爱、希望和鼓励的信,让自己的生活充满意义。

1.According to the prison minister,　　　. 

A.the man was not allowed to write to the prisoners

B.the man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himself

C.he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters

D.the prisoners were not allowed to answer the letters

答案D

解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The prison minister replied,‘Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.’” 可知,监狱长告诉故事主人公,写信可以,但是不会收到回信。这句话使用了一般将来时,很肯定地表明事实不会收到回信。可知,犯人不可以回信。

2.In order to live in a meaningful way,the man began to　　　. 

A.receive the school education

B.meet the people who are depressed

C.write to other people who need encouragement

D.help other people with lost arms and legs

答案C

解析细节理解题。由第二段中的“An idea occurred to him.‘Why not write to other people who need encouragement?’” 以及第四段中的“He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.”可知,故事主人公想出了给需要鼓励的人写信的主意,并且在与监狱长确认后,他开始写信。也就是说为了生活得更有意义,故事主人公开始给需要鼓励的人写信。

3.From the officer’s short note we are told that 　　　. 

A.the man would be offered free paper to write letters on

B.his letters were very popular among the prisoners

C.the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man

D.some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters

答案B

解析推理判断题。由第六段中的“Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”可知,故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室,直到碎成纸屑。可以推出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢迎。

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A.Special Letters of Encouragement

B.Popularity of Special Letters

C.Stories about a Humorous Person

D.Life in the Prison

答案A

解析主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文,文章中心体现在最后一段:无论我们身处什么环境,我们总有自己的长处,并能找到方法去帮助那些需要鼓励和力量的人。A选项中的“Special Letters”体现了故事主人公的处境,“Encouragement”体现了故事主人公内心的力量。

(2020山东卷)

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。

The Meredith family lived in a small community.As the economy was in decline,some people in the town had lost their jobs.Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet.People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.

Mrs.Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman.She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor.She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help.When she had time,she would bring food and medicine to them.

One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.

“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I don’t see what he can do.”

After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”

“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”

For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”

The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea,it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do,”said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?Well,we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags,and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式作答。

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too. 

With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business. 

参考范文

When Mrs.Meredith heard of John’s idea,she thought it was a good one,too.Very soon,the children were busy popping the corn,while their mother went out to buy the paper bags.When she came back,she brought Bernard with her.Bernard was very glad to join in the work and said,“So good an idea! I’ll try right now.”They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.

With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.
