21st Century Wonders of Engineering
Great Engineering has selected five wonders of 21st century engineering for our Excellence Prize. Now we’re asking you to vote for one and tell us why!
Falkirk Wheel(Falkirk, Scotland 2001)
The Falkirk Wheel is the world’s only rotating boat lift. Its steel arms each hold a water-filled tank into which boats can sail. As the wheel rotates, so do the arms, raising and lowering the boats a distance of 25 meters, using power equal to only eight boiling tea kettles.
Millau Viaduct(Millau, France 2005)
The 2.46-kilometer-long Millau Viaduct over the River Tam in the south of France is 270 meters high—the highest bridge in the world. It took just three years to build. It is a beautiful bridge that adds to the natural beauty of the river valley.
Langeled Pipeline(The North Sea 2007)
This pipeline under the ocean carries natural gas across the 1,200 kilometers of rocky sea bed from Norway to Britain. It is the longest pipeline of its kind. It runs through some of the most dangerous waters in the world.
Three Gorges Dam(Yichang, China 2009)
Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam for electric power in the world. Its 1.6-kilometer-long wall across the Yangtze River rises 183 meters above the valley floor. It can hold back 39 million cubic meters of water.
Venice Tide Barrier(Venice, Italy 2011)
In 1966,the city of Venice was flooded in two meters of ocean water. To prevent this from happening again, the Italian government has built 78 walls, each about 600 square meters, which will rise from the sea floor when the level of the Adriatic Sea is dangerously high and threatens the city.
1. Which wonder consumes surprisingly little power when working?
A. Three Gorges Dam. B. Langeled Pipeline.
C. Venice Tide Barrier. D. Falkirk Wheel.
2. How many wonders rank the top of their own kinds?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
3. What does the author invite readers to do concerning the five wonders?
A. To pay them a visit. B. To tell the difference.
C. To participate in a study. D. To choose one out of five.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了21世纪工程上的五大奇迹。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Falkirk Wheel(Falkirk, Scotland 2001)部分“As the wheel rotates, so do the arms, raising and lowering the boats a distance of 25 meters, using power equal to only eight boiling tea kettles.(当轮子旋转时，它的刚臂也会旋转，升起和放下船25米的距离，使用的功率仅相当于八个沸腾的水壶。)”可知，工作时，Falkirk Wheel使用的功率最低，故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Millau Viaduct(Millau, France 2005)部分“The 2.46-kilometer-long Millau Viaduct over the River Tam in the south of France is 270 meters high—the highest bridge in the world.(法国南部塔姆河上2.46公里长的米洛高架桥全长270米高，是世界上最高的桥。)”、Langeled Pipeline(The North Sea 2007)部分的“It is the longest pipeline of its kind.(这是它同类中最长的管道。)”和Three Gorges Dam(Yichang, China 2009)部分“Three Gorges Dam is the largest dam for electric power in the world.(三峡大坝是世界上水电站中最大的大坝。)”可知，文章中介绍了三个奇迹，在其同类中排名第一，故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Now we’re asking you to vote for one and tell us why!(现在我们邀请你给我们投票，并告诉我们为什么！)”可知，作者邀请读者在五个中选出一个读者觉得最好的，故选D。
B
The Pennine Way is a 469-kilometre walking path which runs from the Peak District in Derby shire to just inside the Scottish border. Some people see this trail as an opportunity to take a pleasant day’s hike on a small section of the route, but eighteen-year-old David Lemming saw it as a challenge.“I’d come across a great account of hiking the whole trail, written a few years ago, and I was determined to do it myself. A friend was going with me, but he changed his mind. So I promised my parents I’d check in daily on my mobile.”
Things went perfectly for the first week. Since many people used the trail, he was constantly meeting fellow hikers, so he never felt desolate.“But then it got really stormy,”he says,“so a lot of people gave up. I could go for hours without seeing anyone at all. But as long as I had my mobile,I wasn’t really worried about anything bad happening.”
Unfortunately, something bad did happen. During a particularly heavy rain storm, David slipped in the mud, went off the edge of the trail and fell about ten metre down the hill.“I realized I’d broken my arm immediately. Then I found that my mobile had fallen out of my pocket. And when I tried to get up to look for it, I couldn’t stand up at all. My leg was injured too.”
All he could do was to shout for help.“I yelled until my throat was sore,”he says.“And nothing happened. But then I saw a head at the top of the hill-someone had heard me. A man came down,saw the state I was in and called for help. At the hospital, even the doctors were impressed at how much of the trail I’d covered. I felt really proud.”Will he try to walk the trail again?“Absolutely,”he says.“It’s a fantastic place,and nothing can keep me away.”
4. Where did David get the idea of hiking the trail?
A. From reading about it. B. From hearing an account of it.
C. From being required by his parents. D. From being challenged by a friend.
5. What does the underlined word “desolate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Frustrated. B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed. D. Isolated.
6. How did David get help after his accident?
A. He spoke to a passer-by.
B. He called for help on his mobile.
C. He called out until someone heard him.
D. He returned to the trail and found someone.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Foolish Adventure B. Near Tragedy, But No Regrets
C. How a Mobile Saved a Boy’s Life D. Fear and Tragedy on the Pennine Way
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了18岁的David Lemming挑战469公里的步道进行徒步旅行的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’d come across a great account of hiking the whole trail, written a few years ago, and I was determined to do it myself.( 我偶然看到一本几年前写的关于徒步旅行的书，我决心自己去)”可知，是偶然读到的一本关于徒步旅行的书使得David Lemming产生了徒步旅行的想法，故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Since many people used the trail, he was constantly meeting fellow hikers(由于有很多人使用这个步道，他经常遇到徒步旅行者)”可知，由于他经常遇到徒步旅行者，所以他从不感到孤独，由此可推理出划线词的含义应为“孤独”，故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“All he could do was to shout for help.“I yelled until my throat was sore,”he says.“And nothing happened. But then I saw a head at the top of the hill-someone had heard me. A man came down,saw the state I was in and called for help(他所能做的就是大声呼救。“我一直喊到喉咙痛，”他说。“什么也没发生。但后来我在山顶上看到了一个头，有人听到了我的声音。一个男人走了下来，看到我所处的状态，于是呼救”)”可知，David在事故发生后是通过大声呼救，有人听见后给予了他帮助，故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All he could do was to shout for help.“I yelled until my throat was sore,”he says.“And nothing happened. But then I saw a head at the top of the hill-someone had heard me. A man came down,saw the state I was in and called for help(他所能做的就是大声呼救。“我一直喊到喉咙痛，”他说。“什么也没发生。但后来我在山顶上看到了一个头，有人听到了我的声音。一个男人走了下来，看到我所处的状态，于是呼救”)”可知David出现了事故，无法自救；再根据下文“I felt really proud.”Will he try to walk the trail again?“Absolutely,”he says.“It’s a fantastic place,and nothing can keep me away.”(我真的很自豪。“他会再次尝试走这条路吗？”“当然，”他说。“这是一个很棒的地方，没有什么能阻挡我)”可知，虽然David Lemming经历了较大的事故，但是他以自己为自豪，而且还会继续他的徒步计划，本文最佳标题为“险些酿成悲剧，但不后悔”，故选B项。
C
The new Netflix documentary Seaspiracy highlights the damaging effects of fishing on the world’s oceans. The documentary is narrated and directed by British filmmaker Ali Tabrizi as he discovers fishing to be the ocean’s biggest threat.
While perhaps produced with good intentions, Seaspiracy fails to provide a critical angle to the problems it unveils. Instead, the film tries to encourage anger. Still, many disturbed viewers are taking the bait(诱饵)and announcing plans to stick to the film’s call to action: to stop eating fish. But Seaspiracy’s use of lies and half-truths may ultimately set the ocean conservation movement backward for the sake of attention.
Seaspiracy presents information at a pace too fast to fully grasp, let alone critically evaluate. The film’s “just trust me” attitude runs against today’s culture of facts, science, and truth. Yet many who watch appear all-in on Seaspiracy’s tale: everything you know about the seafood industry is a lie. Even well-known environmentalists and conservation organizations have expressed support for Seaspiracy despite holding themselves to higher standards of scientific accuracy and inclusive solution building. Why support a documentary that does not take much care in painting an accurate portrait of the oceans nor the best way to help protect them?
Perhaps for them, the cost-benefit analysis came out in favor of supporting the film. Even if it’s full of lies and half-truths, maybe the documentary is still good overall if it introduces people to ocean issues and inspires a desire to make a difference.
Yet, a few ocean-focused non-profits may be supporting the documentary out of fear. Seaspiracy successfully painted a number of non-profits unfavorably. The film implies the Plastic Pollution Organization is hiding the amount of plastic fishing gear(设备) that ends up in the ocean.(The film states fishing gear is a leading cause of plastic pollution in many parts of the ocean. While fishing gear does contribute to ocean plastic, it only accounts for about 10% of all plastic in the ocean.)
8. What is Seaspiracy mainly about?
A. What to do to prevent fishing.
B. How to develop fishing industry.
C. How fishing damages the oceans.
D. What bad effects fish have on the oceans.
9. Why do famous environmentalists support Seaspiracy?
A. They think it is at least educational.
B. They can earn some money by doing so.
C. They think it is full of lies and half-truths.
D. They have higher standards of scientific accuracy.
10. What is the author’s general attitude towards Seaspiracy?
A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Contradictory.
11. Why does the author mention “fishing gear” in the last paragraph?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a point.
C. To solve a problem. D. To make a prediction.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要批判了Seaspiracy这部纪录片中提到的捕鱼对世界海洋的破坏性影响这件事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The new Netflix documentary Seaspiracy highlights the damaging effects of fishing on the world’s oceans.(一个新的纪录片Seaspiracy强调了捕鱼对世界海洋的破坏性影响。)”可知，Seaspiracy这个纪录片主要讲的是捕鱼如何对海洋造成伤害，故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Even if it’s full of lies and half-truths, maybe the documentary is still good overall if it introduces people to ocean issues and inspires a desire to make a difference.(尽管它满是谎言，且只有一半的事实，但是这部纪录片总的来说还是不错的，如果它能向人们介绍海洋问题，并激起人们对此做出贡献的渴望。)”可知，环境学家对这部纪录片持支持的态度，是因为这部纪录片有一定的教育意义，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet, a few ocean-focused non-profits may be supporting the documentary out of fear. The film implies the Plastic Pollution Organization is hiding the amount of plastic fishing gear(设备) that ends up in the ocean.(The film states fishing gear is a leading cause of plastic pollution in many parts of the ocean. While fishing gear does contribute to ocean plastic, it only accounts for about 10% of all plastic in the ocean.) (然而，出于恐惧，一些以海洋为中心的非盈利机构可能会支持这部纪录片。这部电影暗指塑料污染机构隐藏了最终落入海洋的捕鱼设备。（这部电影认为捕鱼设备是海洋污染的主要因素。尽管捕鱼设备的确造成了海洋塑料污染，但是它却只占海洋塑料污染的10%。）)”可知，作者认为这部纪录片并没有真正地陈述事实，故对其态度是批判的，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The film implies the Plastic Pollution Organization is hiding the amount of plastic fishing gear(设备) that ends up in the ocean.(The film states fishing gear is a leading cause of plastic pollution in many parts of the ocean.

D
Fifty or sixty years ago, computers were very simple machines, but even then scientists believed that one day machines would be able to “think” and that they would probably be as intelligent as humans. The question was, “How can we measure the intelligence of a machine?” Alan Turing, who had helped to break the German Enigma code during the Second World War, came up with an answer. He said we need to ask, “Can this computer talk? Can it have a conversation like a human?” If it can, he argued, then it is intelligent and it can think. In a Turing test, judges sit at a screen and have a chatroom conversation with the chatbot program. They don’t know if they are chatting with another person or with a chat bot. After exchanging messages for five minutes, the judge decides if he or she is chatting with a human or a machine.
An American called Hugh Loebner was fascinated by Turing’s idea, and he offered a prize of $100,000 to the creator of the first chat bot to pass the Turing test. In order to win the $100,000, a chat bot must convince at least 30% of the judges that it is human. Many chat bots have entered the competition,but so far no chat bot has won the big money prize.
But is the Turing test a good way to decide if a machine is intelligent? Critics argue that the chat bots in the competition are merely imitating humans. Humans are the only animals on Earth that can speak, and that’s why Turing chose to focus on it. But what is really impressive, critics say, is that machines do things that we can’t do. For example, it is amazing that Google can search hundreds of millions of websites for a single word in a matter of seconds. The achievements like this are far more interesting and useful than a chat bot’s.
Fans of the Turing test, on the other hand, feel that humans are themselves machines. It’s just that our brains are far more complex than computers. As philosopher and scientist Daniel Dennett said in a recent interview, “It’s not impossible to have a conscious robot. You’re looking at one.”
12. According to the Turing test, what would a computer be able to do if it could think?
A. Break the Enigma code.
B. Chat with another computer.
C. Talk to people like an ordinary person does.
D. Have a chatroom conversation for five minutes.
13. What can be inferred about the chat bots that enter the Loebner competition?
A. They have a 30% chance of winning.
B. They share prize money of $100,000.
C. They will never win the big money prize.
D. They need to appear human to about a third of the judges.
14. What do the critics of the Turing test argue?
A. Google can do a great deal better than humans.
B. The winner simply has to copy human behaviour.
C. Turing focused on the wrong type of intelligence.
D. Chatbots are designed to do things that we can’t do.
15. Which of the following would Daniel Dennett probably agree with?
A. Humans are just very complex robots.
B. Humans will lose consciousness one day.
C. Humans and computers are equally clever.
D. Humans are more intelligent than computers.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。讲述了图灵为了弄清楚机器人是否能思考，便做了相关实验，文章还介绍了批评家和哲学家Daniel Dennett对此的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In a Turing test, judges sit at a screen and have a chatroom conversation with the chatbot program. They don’t know if they are chatting with another person or with a chat bot. After exchanging messages for five minutes, the judge decides if he or she is chatting with a human or a machine.(在测试中，法官坐在屏幕前，与聊天机器人程序进行对话。他们不知道自己是在与他人聊天还是与聊天机器人聊天。在交换信息五分钟后，法官决定他或是它是在与人聊天还是机器聊天。)”可知，在Turing的测试中，如果机器人可以思考的话，那么它就可以像人一样，与人聊天，故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“An American called Hugh Loebner was fascinated by Turing’s idea, and he offered a prize of $100,000 to the creator of the first chat bot to pass the Turing test. In order to win the $100,000, a chat bot must convince at least 30% of the judges that it is human.(一位名叫Hugh Loebner的美国人被的Turing想法迷住了，他向第一个通过图灵测试的机器人创造提供了10万美金的奖金。为了赢得10万美元，聊天机器人必须让至少30%的评委相信它是机器人。)”可知，进入到Loebner比赛的机器人需要在大约三分之一的评委面前表现得像个人类，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Critics argue that the chat bots in the competition are merely imitating humans. Humans are the only animals on Earth that can speak, and that’s why Turing chose to focus on it. But what is really impressive, critics say, is that machines do things that we can’t do.(批评者认为比赛中的机器人只是在模仿人类。人类是地球上唯一能说话的动物，这也就是图灵选择专注于此的原因。但批评者说，真正令人印象深刻的是，机器能做到我们做不到的事情。)”可知，批评者认为人类才是地球上唯一会说话的动物，机器人能做到很多人类无法做到的事情，因此不能用机器人是否能说话来评判它是否聪明，故他们认为图灵关注的机器人的智力类型错了，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fans of the Turing test, on the other hand, feel that humans are themselves machines. It’s just that our brains are far more complex than computers. As philosopher and scientist Daniel Dennett said in a recent interview, “It’s not impossible to have a conscious robot. You’re looking at one.”(另一方面，图灵测试的粉丝们认为人类本身就是机器。只是我们的大脑远比计算机复杂。正如哲学家和科学家Daniel Dennett在最近一次采访中所说，‘拥有一个有意识的机器人并非不可能。你正看着的就是一个。’)”可推知，Daniel Dennett认为，人类就是复杂机器，你正看着的人类就是一个有意识的机器人，故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What should I do if my flight has been canceled or delayed?
Bad weather. Mechanical breakdown. Staffing shortages.____16____What if you’re one of the unlucky passengers caught up in these? Here’s some advice.
____17____
As bad as it is to find out your flight has been delayed or canceled, it’s better to find out from the comfort of home or a hotel room and make new arrangements from there.
Check your flight status before you go to the airport. Most of these notifications are not happening at the last minute. You can sign up for airlines’ free text alerts when you buy your ticket, or search for information online.
Head fast
Sometimes, the delays and cancellations happen after you’ve arrived at the airport.
Head fast as you can to the airline agents’ desk— and get ready to multitask while you’re in line. Fast is a key word here.____18____. It’s first-come, first-serve. Positioning yourself close to the desk can pay off.
Be nice
Whether you’re dealing with an agent in person or over the phone, how you approach things can make a big difference. Always bear in mind “honey attracts more flies than vinegar.”You should look at this from the airline agents’ perspective.____19____, Of course we should also be persistent in trying to get the situation resolved satisfactorily.
Get Help from other airlines
____20____When flights are canceled, many airlines have the option of putting you on another carrier’s flight. If you elect not to be accommodated on a later flight and you book a new ticket out of your own pocket, you are entitled to a cash refund, though that may not help you get to where you need to go. As we all know, last-minute flights are very expensive.
A. Avoid getting trapped at the airport.
B. That absolutely depends on yourself.
C. Make sure that you’ve got the right flight.
D. It’s going to make a difference who arrives first.
E. Asking nicely is far more likely to get what you want.
F. Cooperation between airlines could work in your favor.
G. Some air travelers may have already faced these this year.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. D 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如果你的航班突然取消或者延时的话，你应该怎么做。
【16题详解】
根据空前“Bad weather. Mechanical breakdown. Staffing shortages.(天气不好。机器故障。人员不足。)”可知，空前提到的都是航班可能临时取消的原因，故G项“一些乘飞机的人今年可能已经遇到了这些问题。”符合，G项中的these指代前文的“Bad weather. Mechanical breakdown. Staffing shortages.”的这些原因，故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“As bad as it is to find out your flight has been delayed or canceled, it’s better to find out from the comfort of home or a hotel room and make new arrangements from there.(尽管发现你的航班延误或者取消很糟糕，但最好从舒适的家或者酒店房间里做出新的安排。)”可知，本段主要提出航班延误或者取消的话，最好在舒适的家里或者酒店做出新的安排，故A项“避免滞留在机场”符合本段小标题，不要滞留在机场，最好在舒适的家里或者酒店做出新的安排，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Head fast(快速前往)”可知，本段主要讲述要快速前往代理商那里。且根据空前“Fast is a key word here.(最关键的就是要快。)”和空后“It’s first-come, first-serve.(先到先得。)”可知，空前和空后都提到了快速的好处，故D项“谁到的最快，谁就能获得好处。”符合，故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据空后“Of course we should also be persistent in trying to get the situation resolved satisfactorily.(当然，我们也会坚持处理这种情况处理得让你满意。)”可知，空后是E项“友好地询问更能帮你得到你想要的”的顺义承接，友好地询问能让你得到你所想要的，当然，我们也会包你满意地处理这种情况，故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空后“When flights are canceled, many airlines have the option of putting you on another carrier’s flight.(当你的航班取消，其他航空公司可以让你搭乘其他航班。)”可知，空后提到在航班取消的情况下，其他航班提供帮助，故F项“航空公司之间的合作能对你有所帮助”符合，航空公司间有合作，因此在你航班取消的情况下，你可以选择其他航空公司的航班，故选F项 。

How men first learned to invent words is unknown. In other words, the origin of language is____36____mystery.

Those sounds, whether spoken____38____written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations— the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the____39____ (long) we live, the more certain words recall to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us____40____ (increase).
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully____41____our minds and emotions. This____42____(charm) and significant use of words is____43____we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words with music, and which by their position and association can move men to____44____(tear). We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them_____45_____(accurate), or they will make our speech or writing silly and vulgar(粗俗的).

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了文字的力量。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：换句话说，语言的起源是一个谜。此处mystery“谜”为可数名词，且此处泛指“一个谜”，故应用不定冠词，且mystery以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：然后，他们就特定的符号达成了一致，就叫做字母。此处作定语，修饰名词signs，signs与call之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。
【38题详解】

【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：伟大的作家是那些不仅具有伟大思想而且能用词汇来表达这些思想的人，他们的思想强烈地震撼着我们的心灵和情感。根据句意可知，此处意为“吸引，震撼”，表达为appeal to，故填to。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这种有魅力的重要的单词的使用就是我们所谓的文学风格。根据后文的and可知，此处and连接“charming”和“significant”，修饰名词use，用形容词作定语。故填charming。
【43题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：同上。此处引导表语从句，从句中缺少call的宾语，且意思为“什么”，故应用what引导，故填what。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：他可以用文字和音乐来表达他的意思，而这些文字和音乐的位置和联系能使人感动落泪。此处意为“使人感动落泪”，表达为move men to tears，故此处应用名词的复数“tears眼泪”作宾语，故填tears。

AI and English Learning
In order to explore the impact of AI on English learning and exchange ideas about its advantages and disadvantages, our class hosted a discussion on “AI and English Learning” last week.
Many students noted the potential benefits of AI, such as providing personalized learning and instant feedback. However, some also expressed concerns about the negative effects on traditional teaching methods and interpersonal communication.
From my perspective, this was a thought—provoking discussion which inspired me to ponder the role of AI in English learning and how we can strike a balance between technology and human communication.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Initially, I totally believed that Daddy wanted a boy. I could just imagine his disappointment when I was born. What always frustrated me was that he never tried hiding his feelings from me. He had hoped a boy who would help him with the farm and finally step into his shoes. But a girl…
I tried to do everything just to please Daddy. Not only did I get up early to help with the housework, but also some tidy work on the farm. What’s more, I went home straight from school, expecting that I was needed. But he didn’t seem to be moved by those at all, let alone putting on a smile.
The year I turned thirteen was the 100th birthday of our town. The town council decided to hold a parade(游行), and they wanted a young lady who could lead the parade. The families in the area were asked to send pictures of their children. Every parent in the area hoped that their daughter would be chosen, every parent except Daddy.
Mommy sent in a picture of me without telling me. I was always so busy being the boy Daddy wanted, and I never considered having the chance to lead the parade. So it was quite a surprise when the town council stopped by one evening to tell us I had been chosen. Mommy was excited. As I anticipated, Daddy showed no interest in the matter.
The day of the big parade finally arrived. I was dressed in a beautiful white dress. At first I felt shy-I’d hardly ever worn dresses. But soon I felt like a princess in a fairy tale.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
As the parade passed down the main street of our town, I saw Mommy and Daddy on the side.

Paragraph 2:
As I went back from the parade, Daddy stood in front of the gate, smiling.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1
As the parade passed down the main street of our town, I saw Mommy and Daddy on the side. Compared to Mum who rejoiced with wild excitement the moment she saw me, Daddy just remained cold, poker-faced. The ignited happiness inside me suddenly vanished into thin air. “Hey, you look so gorgeous!” I was grabbed back to the parade by those compliments shouted out from the crowd. I straightened up my body, and resumed my duty of leading the parade. Looking at those smiling faces on the side, I surprisingly noticed that my mood was improving, especially when I suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure, my father, moving to the end of the parade together with my proceeding. Maybe I was expecting something. But what was it?
Paragraph 2
As I went back from the parade, Daddy stood in front of the gate, smiling. As if being kissed by God, I leapt three feet high, or even pinched myself. I murmured,“Was Daddy smiling to me? Was that a dream?” What confirmed my idea was Daddy’s warm hand. He stroked my head, praising that I did quite a good job, and I was the best girl he had ever known. Never in my wildest dream had I imagined that those words came out from his mouth. I finally proved myself! I was finally accepted as a girl! When I was basking in the afterglow of my father’s recognition, it suddenly dawned on me that we all have our own glittering merits, and being a true and confident self is always a way out.
