Don't call it a comeback; drive-in movie theaters have been here for years. Given the current need for social distancing，drive-ins are once again seeing a surge(暴涨)in popularity and this list of 4 highlights some of the best theaters across the country.
Maryland: Bengies Drive-In Theatre
The 64-year-old Bengies (in Middle River) boasts the biggest movie theater screen in the states. It measures 52 feet high by 120 feet wide, which means films aren't cropped to fit the display. The Middle River business' season is longer than most as they open in early spring and don't close until late fall.
Oregon:99W Drive-in
Only 23 miles from Portland in Newberg, the drive-in has been in the same family since Grandpa Francis built it in 1953. Unlike many of its competitors, the 99W rules allow folks to bring in outside food.
Illinois: Harvest Moon Twin Drive-In
Go green while going to the movies in Gibson City, Illinois. Although the entertainment complex got its start in 1954, the family in charge nowadays has started several eco-friendly initiatives（措施）since taking over in 1989 including installing(安装)LED lighting, using recycled materials, and powering approximately 25 percent of their operations with solar and wind energy.
Pennsylvania: Shankweiler’s Drive-in Theatre
Wilson Shankweiler opened the country’s second drive-in in Pennsylvania in April 1934. Today, it stands as the oldest still-operating drive-in in the country.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
4．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.

B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.
When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather (晴天) friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries, to think of ways to be helpful. He is, also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time? I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble > he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special, A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!

Stephen asked him why young Robinson had ruined it. “I was walking and kicking my ball.” Philip replied, “By accident, when I was opposite the gate, my ball bumped over a bucket of water left in the pathway by him.”
“He came up and began to yell at me. I assured him that what I had done was an accident, and that I was terribly sorry for it. I also offered to fetch another bucket of water for him. But despite all I had said, he took a nail out of his pocket and twisted it into the ball, as you see. I will make him pay for this.”

“But the ball is my favorite gift and I enjoy playing with it so much…” murmured Philip.

“Immediately the whole swarm of bees flew out and stung him so badly that he had to spend a few days in bed.”
“So you see, he was not very successful in getting revenge. What if he could act better and forgive the bee for stinging him?” asked Stephen.

47． “I must say,” replied Philip, “that your advice seems very good. So come with me please, and I will tell my father what happened to the ball, and I think he will not be angry with me.” They went, and Philip told his father what had happened. He thanked Stephen for the good advice he had given his son, and promised Philip to give him another ball exactly the same as the first.
A few days afterwards, Philip saw this young Robinson fall as he was carrying home a heavy log of wood. It was too heavy for him to lift up again. Philip ran to him, and helped him to put it on his shoulder again. The boy was embarrassed to be treated so kindly when he had ruined Philip’s ball the week before! He said that he was very sorry for his behavior. Philip went home quite happy. “This,” he said is the best revenge I could take, in returning good for bad.”
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】
通过阅读所给文章可知，Philip因为农夫Robinson的儿子用钉子刺穿了自己新买的球而非常生气，扬言要报复他。Stephen劝他说没有人喜欢Robinson的儿子，他经常一个人走来走去。他只是一个孤独可怜的男孩。Stephen还告诉Philip，几天前Robinson的儿子被蜜蜂蛰了，就去打蜜蜂巢，结果被一大群蜜蜂蛰了，不得不在床上躺了几天的事情。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：“我得说，” Philip回答说，“你的建议似乎很好。”所以后文应该是讲述Philip放弃了报复的计划，告诉了父亲实情，Philip的父亲感谢Stephen给他儿子的忠告，答应Philip再给他买一个球，和第一个一模一样的。第二段开头是：几天后，Philip看到Robinson的儿子在把一根沉重的木头搬回家时摔倒了。本段应该写Philip帮助了Robinson的儿子，Robinson的儿子为自己几天前的行为道了歉，Philip高高兴兴地回了家，认为以德报怨就是最好的报复。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】
本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be angry with；good advice；the same as；too…to…；embarrassed等高级词汇；He said that he was very sorry for his behavior.宾语从句等高级句式。

Maryland: Bengies Drive-In Theatre
The 64-year-old Bengies (in Middle River) boasts the biggest movie theater screen in the states. It measures 52 feet high by 120 feet wide, which means films aren't cropped to fit the display.

Pennsylvania: Shankweiler’s Drive-in Theatre
Wilson Shankweiler opened the country’s second drive-in in Pennsylvania in April 1934. Today, it stands as the oldest still-operating drive-in in the country.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
4．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.

D．The author took great pleasure in biking.
When you choose a friend, you should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather (晴天) friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries, to think of ways to be helpful. He is, also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, good friends will be honest to each other and accept each other.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time? I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble > he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special, A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!

“Who is that you want to take revenge on?” asked Stephen. Philip looked at his friend and said, “You remember my new ball given by my father? Look! It is punctured! It was farmer Robinson’s son who did this!”
Stephen asked him why young Robinson had ruined it. “I was walking and kicking my ball.” Philip replied, “By accident, when I was opposite the gate, my ball bumped over a bucket of water left in the pathway by him.”
“He came up and began to yell at me. I assured him that what I had done was an accident, and that I was terribly sorry for it. I also offered to fetch another bucket of water for him. But despite all I had said, he took a nail out of his pocket and twisted it into the ball, as you see. I will make him pay for this.”
“Honestly speaking,” said Stephen, “he is already punished for what he has done, because nobody likes him and he often walks around alone. He is just a lonely and miserable boy. This will be enough revenge for you.”
“But the ball is my favorite gift and I enjoy playing with it so much…” murmured Philip.
“Now Philip,” said Stephen, “I think you can act better than him in terms of getting revenge. I will tell you what happened to him not long ago.”
“A while ago he saw a bee hovering about a flower. He caught the bee and was going to pull off its wings for fun. The bee, of course, stung him. The pain made him so angry that, like you, he decided to get revenge. He got a stick, and pressed it into the beehive (蜂巢).”
“Immediately the whole swarm of bees flew out and stung him so badly that he had to spend a few days in bed.”
“So you see, he was not very successful in getting revenge. What if he could act better and forgive the bee for stinging him?” asked Stephen.
“I must say,” replied Philip, “that your advice seems very good”.

47． “I must say,” replied Philip, “that your advice seems very good. So come with me please, and I will tell my father what happened to the ball, and I think he will not be angry with me.” They went, and Philip told his father what had happened. He thanked Stephen for the good advice he had given his son, and promised Philip to give him another ball exactly the same as the first.
A few days afterwards, Philip saw this young Robinson fall as he was carrying home a heavy log of wood. It was too heavy for him to lift up again. Philip ran to him, and helped him to put it on his shoulder again. The boy was embarrassed to be treated so kindly when he had ruined Philip’s ball the week before! He said that he was very sorry for his behavior. Philip went home quite happy. “This,” he said is the best revenge I could take, in returning good for bad.”
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。
【详解】
通过阅读所给文章可知，Philip因为农夫Robinson的儿子用钉子刺穿了自己新买的球而非常生气，扬言要报复他。Stephen劝他说没有人喜欢Robinson的儿子，他经常一个人走来走去。他只是一个孤独可怜的男孩。Stephen还告诉Philip，几天前Robinson的儿子被蜜蜂蛰了，就去打蜜蜂巢，结果被一大群蜜蜂蛰了，不得不在床上躺了几天的事情。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：“我得说，” Philip回答说，“你的建议似乎很好。”所以后文应该是讲述Philip放弃了报复的计划，告诉了父亲实情，Philip的父亲感谢Stephen给他儿子的忠告，答应Philip再给他买一个球，和第一个一模一样的。第二段开头是：几天后，Philip看到Robinson的儿子在把一根沉重的木头搬回家时摔倒了。本段应该写Philip帮助了Robinson的儿子，Robinson的儿子为自己几天前的行为道了歉，Philip高高兴兴地回了家，认为以德报怨就是最好的报复。
最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】
本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：be angry with；good advice；the same as；too…to…；embarrassed等高级词汇；He said that he was very sorry for his behavior.宾语从句等高级句式。
