Yesterday，I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center，to attempt once again to complete the treatment. I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious of the whole process.
While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl the same age as my daughter，came in. She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from a11 she learned through her past drug abuse. I felt that she was sincere in her desire. It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs.
My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while inside she was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying. Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting.
Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too. I continue the example of sell-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes.
I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends，“I am a strong woman!”This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges. Let her know I believe in her. While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too. I hope so.

Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions. such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research. was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which. tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting, it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. “When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”
28. What is the new finding about sleep?
A. It's essential for a person’s health. B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C. Sleeping too much is dangerous. D. Ample sleep leads to better grades.
29. What does the underlined word “Fitbits” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Wearable devices. B. Questionnaires.
C. Fitness equipment. D. Smartphones.
30. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study?
A. Doubtful. B. Predictable.
C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected.
31. What will benefit students’ study according to Grossman?
A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day. B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m every day.
C. Getting enough sleep while learning. D. Going to bed early only before a test.
【答案】28 D 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明，睡眠质量不足除了对身体健康造成不良影响之外，也会对学习成绩产生影响。好的睡眠质量是提高学习成绩的关键。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. (现在，波士顿麻省理工学院的一项新研究发现，充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键)可知关于睡眠的新发现是充足的睡眠会带来更好的成绩。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.可知相反，这位计算材料科学教授希望这个流行的腕带设备能够显示出体育锻炼和学术成就之间的联系。可知Fitbits指的是一种可以穿戴的设备。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight.(然而，发表在2019年10月1日《科学学习》杂志上的这项研究却有一个惊人的发现)中surprising“令人惊奇的”可推知这项新研究的最终结果是让人意想不到的。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.(相反，最重要的是你在学习期间的睡眠)以及最后一段中“When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”(“什么时候睡觉很重要。Grossman说。如果你在2点以后睡觉，即使你睡了7个小时，你的表现也会开始下降。所以，数量并不是一切)可知Grossman认为学习时睡眠充足将有利于学生的学习。故选C。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that's to say，such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题，根据后文Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.可知相反，这位计算材料科学的教授希望这个流行的腕带设备能够显示出体育锻炼和学术成就之间的联系。可知Fitbits指的是一种可以穿戴的设备。故选A。

'There's no place like home. 'This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'. Emma Craig from Money supermarket says " they're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more. "
With parents splashing out around ￡1 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
32. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions? ______
A. A lazy youth, an awful age.
B. East or west, home is best.
C. Two heads are better than one.
D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
33. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds? ______
A. The popularity of living independently.
B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The increase of unemployment rate.
D. Their parents' financial offer.
34. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds? ______
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Objective. D. Understandable.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子“More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.（越来越多的人失去了工作，与去年相比，还有一些人支付不起他们的房租了）”可知，失业率增加是越来越多的孩子喜欢回家住的原因之一。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中Emma Craig说的话“If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute（如果你的孩子回到家，你看到他正在遭遇经济困难，你更不好意思问他们要房租或者让他们为家里掏钱了）”可知， Emma Craig对回家的孩子的态度是可以理解的。A. Doubtful怀疑的；B. Uncertain不确定的；C. Objective客观的；D. Understandable理解的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句But this comes at a price!（但是这是有代价的。）及最后一段的句子With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad! （父母们为了孩子们的利益，在外卖食品、购买新家具和升级Wi-Fi等方面花费了大约1,886英镑，因此，回家的孩子们就能把脚放在上面享受生活，让自己感觉像在家里一样。但目前他们只是还不了解家庭真相——总有一天，可能是他们自己的孩子也将入住“爸妈旅店”！）可知，和父母一起生活是有代价的。故选A。

___40___
''When you're doing it every day, over and over again, little by little, that's the key. Because when you make things a habit, it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you're thinking in English, '' Thomas says.

第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
On a Saturday afternoon in Wichita Falls, Texas, three kids talked and laughed happily as they took turns riding a scooter (滑板车) on their quiet street. 11-year-old TJ Smith had just jumped off the scooter as his neighbors Kim, age 7, claimed her turn, and Julie, 9, looked on. Ten minutes later, Kim sat down on the scooter to catch her breath, That was when a bearded man with a head of messy hair appeared. The kids didn't see where he came from, but they saw exactly what happened next: Without saying a word, the man picked Kim up off the scooter and calmly stepped away.
The guy held Kim gently like a baby and just walked down the street In fact, the calm way the man behaved led TJ to believe that he must be a relative of Kim's. But something wasn't right.“I could see Kim's face," TJ said.“She was scared.
As the man walked on, Kim's fear transformed into weeps, and then she cried for help. She began kicking and moving, trying to get free of the man's control.“What are you doing?" Julie shouted. But the man, undisturbed, just walked the length of the block until he reached an alley(小巷) and disappeared.
TJ was frightened, yet he never thought about the danger to himself. The only thing he wanted to do was to get Kim back. But what was a 4-foot-tall kid going to do to stop a grown man?“I wanted to help_but I couldn't do it myself," he thought to himself. “Tell Kim's parents, Julie!” He shouted as he started running towards the alley.
Kim's parents were relaxing on the sofa in their living room when their front door burst open.
Paragraph 1:“A bad guy just picked Kim up and took her away!”yelled Julie.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:At that very moment. Kim's parents arrived.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“A bad guy just picked Kim up and took her away!”yelled Julie.So shocked were Kim's parents that they jumped up from the sofa and rushed over to Julie.Learning what had happened, they phoned the police without delay. The next moment, they jumped into their car and drove off directed by Julie.By then TJ had reached the alley, but the man was nowhere to be seen.“I must find Kim, ”TJ said to himself.Her an along the alley to the end，where he spotted the man walking towards a white house.“Stop!Stop!”With these words, he charged at the guy fearlessly and held fast to Kim.However hard the guy tried to get rid of TJ, TJ wouldn't give in.
At that very moment Kim's parents arrived.“Help!Help!”TJ shouted.Immediately Kim's father took off toward the guy. Seeing this, the guy hurriedly let go of Kim and broke into a run. Kim's father dashed up, caught hold of him and pressed him to the ground.Kim ran crying into her mother's arms. Minutes later, the police arrived and arrested the guy.TJ breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.TJ's quick thinking and bravery saved a little girl in the neighborhood from unimaginable consequences.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，11岁的TJ,7岁的Kim和9岁的Julie在安静的街道玩滑板车。一个满头蓬乱长胡子的男人突然出现将Kim抱走。TJ和Julie开始想办法营救Kim。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Julie大喊道：“坏人把Kim带走了。”所以后面应该写Kim的父母听到这一消息之后的反应以及他们所采取的行动。给出的内容提示当Kim被带走后，TJ唯一的想法就是怎么去营救她。所以本段也应该提及，在Julie去告诉Kim父母期间，TJ是如何行动的。有什么进展。第二段写道在那个时候，Kim的父母赶到了。所以第一段最后应该是提及TJ的营救到了关键时刻。
第二段开头写道正在这时，Kim的父母赶到了。所以接下来应该写他们是如何与坏人斗争，将Kim从坏人手中夺回来。最后要写坏人被警察逮捕，绳之以法。TJ和Julie的勇敢行为得到了大家的赞赏。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写故事完整，逻辑合理。续写文与前文做到了内容上的衔接。时态正确，语言详略得当，心理活动与动作描写生动，如描写Kim的父亲抓坏人使用了一系列动词，dashed up, caught hold of him and pressed him很精彩地描写了当时激烈的场景。

M: Ill finish it before that!

Yesterday，I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center，to attempt once again to complete the treatment. I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious of the whole process.
While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl the same age as my daughter，came in. She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from a11 she learned through her past drug abuse. I felt that she was sincere in her desire. It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs.
My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while inside she was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying. Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting.
Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too. I continue the example of sell-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes.
I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends，“I am a strong woman!”This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges. Let her know I believe in her. While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too. I hope so.

Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions. such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Now, a new study by Boston’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT) has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.
Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research. was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which. tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.
However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester.
Even more interesting, it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. “When you go to bed matters. Grossman says. If you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”
28. What is the new finding about sleep?
A. It's essential for a person’s health. B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.
C. Sleeping too much is dangerous. D. Ample sleep leads to better grades.
29. What does the underlined word “Fitbits” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Wearable devices. B. Questionnaires.
C. Fitness equipment. D. Smartphones.
30. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study?
A. Doubtful. B. Predictable.
C. Disappointing. D. Unexpected.
31. What will benefit students’ study according to Grossman?
A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day. B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m every day.
C. Getting enough sleep while learning. D. Going to bed early only before a test.
【答案】28 D 29. A 30. D 31. C

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that's to say，such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题，根据后文Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which tracks a person’s activity 24/7, would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.可知相反，这位计算材料科学的教授希望这个流行的腕带设备能够显示出体育锻炼和学术成就之间的联系。可知Fitbits指的是一种可以穿戴的设备。故选A。

'There's no place like home. 'This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!
In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'. Emma Craig from Money supermarket says " they're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more. "
With parents splashing out around ￡1 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!
32. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions? ______
A. A lazy youth, an awful age.
B. East or west, home is best.
C. Two heads are better than one.
D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.
33. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds? ______
A. The popularity of living independently.
B. Looking after their old parents.
C. The increase of unemployment rate.
D. Their parents' financial offer.
34. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds? ______
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain.
C. Objective. D. Understandable.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? ______
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.
C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A

【34题详解】

Doubtful怀疑的；B. Uncertain不确定的；C. Objective客观的；D. Understandable理解的。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句But this comes at a price!（但是这是有代价的。）及最后一段的句子With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring. That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad! （父母们为了孩子们的利益，在外卖食品、购买新家具和升级Wi-Fi等方面花费了大约1,886英镑，因此，回家的孩子们就能把脚放在上面享受生活，让自己感觉像在家里一样。但目前他们只是还不了解家庭真相——总有一天，可能是他们自己的孩子也将入住“爸妈旅店”！）可知，和父母一起生活是有代价的。故选A。

第二节（满分25分）
67. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
On a Saturday afternoon in Wichita Falls, Texas, three kids talked and laughed happily as they took turns riding a scooter (滑板车) on their quiet street. 11-year-old TJ Smith had just jumped off the scooter as his neighbors Kim, age 7, claimed her turn, and Julie, 9, looked on. Ten minutes later, Kim sat down on the scooter to catch her breath, That was when a bearded man with a head of messy hair appeared. The kids didn't see where he came from, but they saw exactly what happened next: Without saying a word, the man picked Kim up off the scooter and calmly stepped away.
The guy held Kim gently like a baby and just walked down the street In fact, the calm way the man behaved led TJ to believe that he must be a relative of Kim's. But something wasn't right.“I could see Kim's face," TJ said.“She was scared.
As the man walked on, Kim's fear transformed into weeps, and then she cried for help. She began kicking and moving, trying to get free of the man's control.“What are you doing?" Julie shouted. But the man, undisturbed, just walked the length of the block until he reached an alley(小巷) and disappeared.
TJ was frightened, yet he never thought about the danger to himself. The only thing he wanted to do was to get Kim back. But what was a 4-foot-tall kid going to do to stop a grown man?“I wanted to help_but I couldn't do it myself," he thought to himself. “Tell Kim's parents, Julie!” He shouted as he started running towards the alley.
Kim's parents were relaxing on the sofa in their living room when their front door burst open.
Paragraph 1:“A bad guy just picked Kim up and took her away!”yelled Julie.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:At that very moment. Kim's parents arrived.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“A bad guy just picked Kim up and took her away!”yelled Julie.So shocked were Kim's parents that they jumped up from the sofa and rushed over to Julie.Learning what had happened, they phoned the police without delay. The next moment, they jumped into their car and drove off directed by Julie.By then TJ had reached the alley, but the man was nowhere to be seen.“I must find Kim, ”TJ said to himself.Her an along the alley to the end，where he spotted the man walking towards a white house.“Stop!Stop!”With these words, he charged at the guy fearlessly and held fast to Kim.However hard the guy tried to get rid of TJ, TJ wouldn't give in.
At that very moment Kim's parents arrived.“Help!Help!”TJ shouted.Immediately Kim's father took off toward the guy. Seeing this, the guy hurriedly let go of Kim and broke into a run. Kim's father dashed up, caught hold of him and pressed him to the ground.Kim ran crying into her mother's arms. Minutes later, the police arrived and arrested the guy.TJ breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.TJ's quick thinking and bravery saved a little girl in the neighborhood from unimaginable consequences.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，11岁的TJ,7岁的Kim和9岁的Julie在安静的街道玩滑板车。一个满头蓬乱长胡子的男人突然出现将Kim抱走。TJ和Julie开始想办法营救Kim。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：Julie大喊道：“坏人把Kim带走了。”所以后面应该写Kim的父母听到这一消息之后的反应以及他们所采取的行动。给出的内容提示当Kim被带走后，TJ唯一的想法就是怎么去营救她。所以本段也应该提及，在Julie去告诉Kim父母期间，TJ是如何行动的。有什么进展。第二段写道在那个时候，Kim的父母赶到了。所以第一段最后应该是提及TJ的营救到了关键时刻。
第二段开头写道正在这时，Kim的父母赶到了。所以接下来应该写他们是如何与坏人斗争，将Kim从坏人手中夺回来。最后要写坏人被警察逮捕，绳之以法。TJ和Julie的勇敢行为得到了大家的赞赏。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右，按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写故事完整，逻辑合理。续写文与前文做到了内容上的衔接。时态正确，语言详略得当，心理活动与动作描写生动，如描写Kim的父亲抓坏人使用了一系列动词，dashed up, caught hold of him and pressed him很精彩地描写了当时激烈的场景。
