第1篇 最后的心愿
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。
I was responding to a call from a small brick flat in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goers,or someone who had just had a fight with a lover,or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.
When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, many drivers just honk(按喇叭) once or twice,wait a minute,then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.
Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door.
This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance,I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute," answered a frail,elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause,the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat ,like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no equipment on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the suitcase to the cab,then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm,and we walked slowly toward the cab.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Having given me an address, a hospice , she asked. "Could you drive through downtown?" Asked why we didn't take the shortest way, the small woman told me it was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.
Paragraph 2:
we drove in silence to the address she had given me , and it was a low building,where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair. When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I said nothing and bent to give her a bug . It was my assistance that helped one of weak people realize her wish.
第1段:
她给了我一个地址,一个收容所,她问。“你能开车穿过市中心吗?”当被问及为什么我们不走最短的路时,那个小女人告诉我,这是她去这个城市的最后一次机会。我们开车穿过她和她丈夫住过的社区。此外,她请我在某幢大楼或角落前放慢脚步,坐在那里盯着黑暗,什么也没说。最后,她说她累了,想去临终关怀医院。
第2段:
我们默默地驱车前往她给我的地址,那是一幢低矮的建筑,老太太将在那里度过余生。我们一停下车,一定在等着她,两名护士就上了驾驶室。我打开后备箱,把手提箱拿到门口,那个女人已经坐在轮椅了。当她问她欠我多少钱时,我什么也没说,心想给她一个虫子。是我的帮助,帮助一个弱者实现了她的愿望。
第2篇 求职经验
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。
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, Matt went shopping with his family. They filled two shopping carts with lots of groceries that were enough for a whole week. Immersed in warm sunlight, they headed to the parking lot.
Suddenly, Matt caught sight of a strange man. Usually, it was common to find some homeless people outside a supermarket. At first sight, Matt thought he was just a homeless guy, but there was something different with him. He was sitting on a sleeping bag with multiple resumes neatly laid out, along with a sign that read “need work and food.” The old and poor clothes could not hide his optimism and eagerness. The sign aroused Matt’s curiosity. Matt asked if he could see his resume. The strange man hopped right up, handed one to Matt politely, and then started introducing all about his experience as if it were an interview. His name was Shawn. In fact, Shawn was a 52-year-old former cook. Matt, in his thirties, also a cook, found Shawn was a well-spoken, cool and friendly guy who knew exactly what he wanted and was going after it. Shawn’s eagerness deeply impressed Matt.
Accustomed to seeing homeless people ask for food and or money, Matt found it surprising to witness a homeless guy making efforts to find a job despite difficult circumstances. The man in front of him looked nothing like a beggar in depression. There was not even a trace of self-pity in his eyes. Shawn’s efforts reminded Matt his situations where he had nothing and had to bust his butt (努力) to get work and earn money. Right now and here, Shawn was doing what he had experienced, so Matt had a lot of respect for Shawn. Matt bought him a bottle of water and some sandwiches. Shawn took with shyness. Then, Matt took a picture of his resume to post on Facebook, not knowing if anything would come of it.
Soon, someone came across Shawn’s post and offered him a job as a cook at a small downtown restaurant.

参考范文:
Paragraph 1
Shawn was very excited and grateful for landing a new job. So much did Shawn cherish this hard won opportunity that all his enthusiasm was clearly shown in his daily work. Carefully and professionally,the energetic cook studied and improved the menu, making great efforts to help the restaurant retain regular consumers through delicious cuisine. With his life seeing a trace of sunlight, Shawn increasingly thankful, but the poor days constantly reminded him homeless people living in misery and wanting for food like him. So, he contacted Matt and wanted to do more.
Paragraph 2
Together with Matt, Shawn decided to help ore people like him. Inspired by this special way of job-hunting, they came up with the idea of helping more homeless people with skills to find a job through preparing resumes and practicing interviews. Driving from street to street, wherever they went and whomever they met, they shared their experience and planted seeds of dreams.For them, what brought them sense of achievement was not just gaining appreciation, but all the more so helping homeless people rebuild self-respect.

第3篇 避难所
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。
I got up at 4 am to receive a call from my daughter who needed my help to get home from the snowy mountain. After I helped her get a taxi, I noticed I was out of cigarettes, so I went to the gas station up the street to purchase some. There I saw a young man wrapped in a thin blanket, trying to keep out of the snow. I went in and bought my cigarettes.
As I walked out of the station, this young man asked me for a cigarette. I pulled out one, gave him and left. I just went forward a few steps and suddenly I realized that I should do something for him. I returned and asked him if he wanted a hot coffee. Obviously he couldn’t hide his eagerness to get one and said “yes, please”. Again I went in the station and bought him an extra large cup.
When I went back home, the pitiful look of the poor guy being out in the cold flashed before my eyes. Without hesitation I grabbed my warm coat and hurried to the guy. Helping him put on the coat, I told him there was a shelter nearby where he could ask for help. I asked him to promise me he would do it.
At about 6 o’clock, I got home. Seeing my daughter arrive safely and get ready for bed, I rested my heavy body on the sofa wondering about the guy at the gas station. So I made a call to the shelter and told the nice girl on the phone that there was a guy out in the cold. Told that they had one or two beds left, I quickly got into my car and drove to the gas station.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After I finally drove the guy to the shelter, he was very grateful.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ten years later, I received a strange call.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After I finally drove the guy to the shelter, he was very grateful. I helped him get settled in a shelter, bought him some food and necessities, and kept some money. After making sure he would make it through the winter, I drove away. I was so happy on the way because the poor guy was warm and cared for. Wish him a good life in the future. I didn't want him to repay me because it was just a piece of cake to me.
在我终于开车把那个人送到避难所后,他非常感激。我帮他在一个收容所定居下来,给他买了一些食物和必需品,还存了一些钱。在确保他能度过整个冬天后,我开车走了。我在路上很高兴,因为这个可怜的家伙很暖和,很受照顾。祝他未来生活得很好。我不想让他偿还我,因为这对我来说只是一块蛋糕。
Ten years later, I received a strange call. I didn't know the number, and I didn't recognize the sound. The man opposite said, "Do you remember me?" I was embarrassed because I couldn't remember anything." You helped me through a cold winter ten years ago." He said. I had a light. "It's you. How have you been?" I enthused. "I'm living a good life now and I don't have to be hungry and cold anymore." It's warm to think of that winter," he said,“Thank you for helping me and giving me hope. I have set up several shelters to help more people like me that winter, which I think is the best to repay your kindness. "
十年后,我接到了一个奇怪的电话。我不知道号码,也认不出声音。对面的人说,“你还记得我吗?”我很尴尬,因为我什么都不记得了。”十年前你帮我度过了一个寒冷的冬天。”他说。我有一盏灯。“这是你的意思。你现在怎么样了?”我很热情。“我现在过得很好,我不用再又饿又冷了。”想到那个冬天就很暖和,”他说,“谢谢你帮助我,给了我希望。那年冬天,我建立了几个避难所来帮助更多像我这样的人,我认为这是最好的办法来报答你的好意。”
【解析】
本文以人物为线索展开。“我”在十年前的一个冬天遇到了一个饥寒交迫的人,感到非常同情,所以给了他很多帮助,帮他度过了那个寒冷的冬天。十年后“我”接到这个人的电话,了解到他现在过得很好。

第4篇 夜遇老人
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。
Kent was a manager of a furniture agency. His establishment nearly went bankrupt (倒闭)because of the wrong decision he had made. He was so regretful and depressed that he planned to drive to a bar alone to release his emotions.
It was near midnight in an extremely cold winter, and the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam entered his line of sight. She was standing sideways near a platform, dressed in a plain coat, dragging a suitcase, and holding a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam's disturbing,he wouldn't like to leave her in the cold night. He noticed she coughed violently and thought that she might be ill and really needed help. So he braked near her.
The madam said, "Would you please take me for a ride? I can offer double fare. . . " Kent interrupted her, "I will charge you nothing! Come on!" The madam pointed to her luggage and said, "Could you put my suitcase into the car?" Kent stepped out and put it in the trunk.
Kent proceeded to drive. He stopped at a petrol station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline (汽油). During the interval they waited in a queue,the madam began her narration, "Could you please send me to the charity house in the suburbs? I want to send them something. I had been given help there 50 years ago. The president and workers were all good guys." She burst into tears,"Now they've all passed away. The life was tough at that time, but we all loved and cared about each other. I've held a desire to be back there again for long." Kent realized the madam was recalling a section of the good missing days. A complicated feeling surrounded him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
Paragraph 1 :
After a two-hour drive,they came to the gate of their destination.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【范文】
Paragraph 1 :
After a two-hour drive, they carne to the gate of their destination. It was quiet and dark. The door of the charity house was closed and a weak light went through the guard room. Kent got off the car and rang the bell. An old doorkeeper came out. Making clear why they came, they were invited in. The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected. Then they looked round the house and left. On the way back, the old madam asked for another ride, "Please send me to the rest home in the town. sir."
开车两小时后,他们来到了目的地门口。那里安静而黑暗。慈善机构的门关着,一盏微弱的光线穿过警卫室。肯特下了车,按响了门铃。一个老守门员走了出来。弄清楚他们为什么要来,他们就被邀请进来了。老夫人把她的手提箱交给了看门人,里面是她收集的衣服和玩具。然后他们环顾四周的房子,离开了。在回来的路上,老太太要求再骑一次,“请把我送到城里其余的家里。先生。”
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases. "I have been seriously ill for a long time and will soon die of lung cancer. I come out to say goodbye to my life. Now I will have no regrets before death. Thanks for your help!" The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face. Kent remained silent for a while. He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.
听到这话,肯特就沉默了,因为他知道养老院是给不治之症患者准备的。“我已经得了重病很长一段时间了,很快就会死于肺癌。我走出来是要和我的生活说再见了。现在我在死前就不会后悔了。谢谢你的帮助!”夫人平静地解释道,脸上挂着灿烂的微笑。肯特郡沉默了一会儿。他在嚼着夫人说的话,很高兴能帮助她实现最后的愿望。
【解析】
文章主要讲述了Kent在寒冷的夜晚遇到了一个老人,并同意带她郊区慈善机构的故事。
续写分为两段。第一段的开头是:两小时车程后,他们到达了目的地的大门。所以可以接着写:天色很暗,到处都很安静,大门里的建筑里透出了微弱的光。Kent下车给门卫说明情况后,门卫让他们进去。老人把装满衣服和玩具的箱子交给门卫。他们围着建筑四处转了一下,然后离开了。路上,女士要求Kent把她送到市里的疗养院。
第二段的开头是:听了女士的话Kent陷入了沉思,因为他知道疗养院是专门为那些有不治之症的病人准备的。看到Kent的样子,女士说:“我生了很严重病,已近是癌症晚期,很快就到生命的尽头了。今天我是去和从前的生活说再见的,现在,我没有遗憾了。非常感谢你。”女士说话的时候面带笑容,丝毫看不出悲伤。Kent此刻觉得很感激,感激他能有机会帮助这位女士实现最后的愿望。
续写时需注意情节要符合逻辑,基础时态为一般过去时。
范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达,例如:The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected.中使用了独立主格;The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face.中使用了with复合结构;He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.中what引导宾语从句。这些表达的使用使文章色彩纷呈。
第5篇 丢失的戒指
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。
The first thing Eileen Korey noticed when she got into the car that Wednesday afternoon in early May was a small diamond ring in the tray(托盘)between the front seats. It hadn't been there before. Weeks earlier, she had taken the car in to have the airbag replaced. The car belonged to her daughter and son-in-law and she was helping them out. Now she was picking it up. That's when she saw the ring. Korey, 64, of Lake Oswego quickly contacted her daughter and son-in-law to ask if they were missing a diamond ring or if any of their friends had reported losing a ring. They both wrote back, saying they had no idea what she was talking about.
Korey took the ring to the service desk at the garage to ask if any women technicians might have left a ring in the car while they were working on it. The woman behind the counter said only men worked on the cars.
Korey asked if the desk clerk could get information from the guy who had replaced the airbag. Over a two-way radio(对讲机), Helbt said he'd placed the ring in the tray when it dropped to the car's floor after he opened up the steering column to replace the airbag. He was not sure how it got there.
She knew a friend who was a jeweler and stopped by to have her look at the ring to see if it was real. Her friend said the diamond, set in a white gold hand, was worth$1, 200 and Korey could easily sell it for $500. But she wouldn't sell it. After making sure the ring didn’t belong to anyone in her family—or anyone at the auto shop Korey tracked down the first owner of the car using paperwork she found in the glove box. Her detective work led her to a dealership in Beaverton, and the car's first owners:Daniel and Ashleigh Hannah. The Hannahs had purchased the small ring when they got engaged and were saving money to buy a house.
Paragraph 1:
One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The couple searched the parking lot and the car for hours. Nothing.
_______________________________________________________________________________【范文】
Paragraph 1:
One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine. Ashleigh, showing her husband where to turn, gestured wildly with her left hand and felt the ring slip off. However, when searching the car carefully, they weren't able to find it. They figured it fell out of the open driver's side window.
一个星期天日下午,他们当时开车去参加活动,但不得不在银行停下来使用自动取款机。阿什莉告诉丈夫去哪里转,用左手疯狂地做了个手势,感觉戒指掉了。然而,当他们仔细搜查汽车时,他们却找不到它。他们发现它从敞开的司机侧窗里掉了下来。
Paragraph 2:
The couple searched the parking lot and the car for hours. Nothing. Later, back at home, the Hannah has searched through the car for hours. Nothing. Years later, Daniel bought his wife a much larger engagement ring. Finally, this month Korey made contact with Daniel Hannah. They met, and as a reward for returning the ring, she simply asked that Daniel send her a photo of the moment he surprised his wife with her lost engagement ring. On Mother's Day, Ashleigh's son gave her the ring. It didn't fit and was much smaller than her replacement ring, but none of that mattered.
这对夫妇搜查了停车场和汽车好几个小时。没有什么内容。后来,回到家里,汉娜已经在车里搜索了好几个小时。没有什么内容。几年后,丹尼尔给妻子买了一枚更大的订婚戒指。最后,这个月,科瑞和丹尼尔·汉娜取得了联系。他们见面了,作为归还戒指的回报,她只是要求丹尼尔给她一张照片,这是他给妻子丢失的订婚戒指的那一刻。母亲节那天,阿什利的儿子把戒指给了她。它不合适,比她的替代戒指要小得多,但这些都不重要。
【解析】
文章讲述了Eileen Korey在车修理后发现里面有一枚戒指,但是问了她的女儿和女婿,以及修理店的员工,他们都说不是自己的。后来她问了车的第一个主人,才知道戒指是他们的。
续写分为两段。第一段的开头是:一个周末的下午,他们开车去参加一个活动,但当时需要在路边停下,去自动提款机上取钱。所以可以接着写:丈夫取好钱后,妻子Ashleigh Hannah挥手让他过来开车,因为动作太大,戒指从手指上滑落。但当时他们没有发现。第二段的开头是:夫妻两在停车场和车上找了很久。所以可以接着写:他们什么也没有发现。回到家后,他们又在车上仔细地找了几遍,结果是一样的。后来,他们不得不重新买一个订婚戒指。当Korey联系他们时,他们才知道原来戒指掉在车里了。见面时,Korey把戒指还给了Daniel,Daniel十分感激。他回家把戒指拿给妻子,虽然这个戒指比后来买的那个小得多,但是在Ashleigh看来两个都一样的珍贵。
续写时要注意时态,续写的内容要符合逻辑。范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达,例如:Ashleigh,showing her husband where to turn, gestured wildly with her left hand and felt the ring slip off.中使用了现在分词作状语;They met, and as a reward for returning the ring, she simply asked that Daniel send her a photo of the moment he surprised his wife with her lost engagement ring. 中that引导虚拟语气的宾语从句。这些表达的使用使文章色彩纷呈。
第6篇 救出小孩
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。
When his 13-year-old son came home late from school last week,John Morrissette figured he had just gone on “one of his usual walks”.It wasn’t until the next day that Morrissette found out his intellectually disabled boy, Michael, had been found in a Winnipeg garbage bin as temperatures dropped to -15°C.
Morrissette said his son had been beaten by two men,thrown in the Dumpster and left to freeze. He was found a few hours later by a woman who let him out. “I was very angry with the guys who would do this to my son,” Morrissette said in an interview Thursday. “You can see he’s a harmless child. He doesn’t talk much. He keeps to himself and two men have hurt him.”
The young teenager wasn’t seriously hurt, but Morrissette said he’s not letting him walk home alone anymore. The father’s faith in humanity is a little shaken. Morrissette said he couldn’t believe there are people out there who would pick on a young boy simply walking home from school. He’s only been able to get bits and pieces of what happened from Michael who is “too scared to talk about it”.
“We are sure we are living in a society that we all care about our children. But we feel so sad and angry with that. For the children like my son!We can’t help them? We can’t protect them?” said the father.
Nicole Langlois, who works nearby, said that she heard weak cries for help as she walked past the large garbage container, but was not sure where they were coming from. So a few hours later she went back again to the garbage container and tried to find what happened. To her great surprise,she found the boy sleeping and covered with garbage. “All he kept saying was, ‘Help. They pushed me in here,’” Langlois said. “I kept trying to talk to him and ask him who he is and he didn’t talk back to me.” As soon as she helped him out, he ran away and headed for home a few blocks away.
Paragraph 1:
“Words can’t describe how grateful the family is to Langlois,” Morrissette said.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The family contacted police, who are investigating.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Words can’t describe how grateful the family is to Langlois,” Morrissette said. “She’s my son’s angel,” he said. “I thank her every day. She is so kind that she rescued my son from the garbage container. And we have gained our faith in humanity again.” And the family decided not to let Michael walk home by himself because they are afraid the bad men hurt him again.
“语言无法描述这个家庭对朗洛伊斯有多感激,”莫里塞特说。“她是我儿子的天使,”他说。“我每天都要感谢她。她很善良,她把我儿子从垃圾桶里救了出来。我们再次对人类有了信心。全家人决定不让迈克尔独自走回家,因为他们担心坏人会再次伤害他。
The family contacted police,who are investigating. Michael is not able to talk to the police what happened to him or who did this to him. The family is appealing to anyone who might have seen something. The family are sure there are many kind people in our society, where people will take good care of all the children,whether they are intellectually disabled or not. The police said they would try their best to find the bad men carrying out such terrible actions and punish them.
这家人联系了正在调查的警方。迈克尔无法和警察谈论他发生了什么,也说谁对他做了。这个家庭吸引任何可能看到什么东西的人。这个家庭确信在我们的社会中有很多善良的人,人们会好好照顾所有的孩子,不管他们是否智障。警方表示,他们会尽力寻找那些实施如此可怕行为的坏人,并惩罚他们。
第7篇 一封信和七美元
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。
Three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper routine my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old and shy boy. Yet it remains in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles (导弹,发射物) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
Paragraph 1:
I waited until it was dark, snuck up (偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
I waited until it was dark, snuck up(偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house. I put the letter through the letter shot in her door explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window. My soul felt comfortable. I could have the forgiveness of me, and could look straight into the old lady’ s kind eyes in the yard.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and went on to eat the cookies as I continued my route.

Paragraph 2:
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised deeply. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’ m proud of you.”

第8篇 遇到好人
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

第9篇 简单的感谢
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
A Simple Thank
I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him.
Mr. Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one her performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw. Steven couldn’t stand school. He didn’t like being picked last for kickball. He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn’t like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe’s classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbook onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: "Hi, Steven. I’m happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year." Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. "Hey, Steven," Mr. Rowe commented, "You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick." Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as closer to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe , his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.

Paragraph 1
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the bused pilled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr. Rowe. “I don’t want to leave you.” He sobbed. With red-rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe comforted him, “I will miss you, too.”
那一年时间过得很快,我们还没意识到,那是学校的最后一天。我们学校在最后一天有一个非常特殊的传统。所有的老师都挤满了人行道,向孩子们挥手道别,车上按着喇叭。但就在那一天,史蒂文慢慢地走到公交车前,低着头,热泪盈眶。他不情愿地登上了巴士,犹豫了一下,然后跑回来拥抱罗先生。“我不想离开你。”他抽泣着。罗先生用红边的眼睛安慰他说,“我也会想念你的。”
Paragraph 2
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps(海军) uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say, simply to say a very simple THANKS.
许多年后,当一个英俊的年轻人穿着海军陆战队(海军)的制服走进我们的教室时,罗先生和我感到很惊讶。年轻人骄傲地站着。那是史蒂文!Mr.罗和我简直不敢相信我们的眼睛。他向他敬礼,紧紧地拥抱着罗先生!“我今天回到学校只是为了对你说谢谢!”我希望每个老师都有这样的学生回来说,只是说一句非常简单的谢谢。
第10篇 创造爱,传递爱
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
It was a hot and wet day in July.I was driving to the local grocery store because the heat had made my bananas go from yellow to brown overnight.My air conditioner in my car was on high,but it still wasn’t cooling me down. Suddenly, the car in front of me signaled that it was pulling off.I pressed on the brakes and slowed down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several teenagers standing in the summer sun.They weren’t playing, killing time, or hanging around though.They weren’t drinking,smoking, chatting, or looking at their cell phones.They were working on a porch(走廊).
I recognized them immediately as one of the church work camps. For more years than I can remember these young men and women have volunteered their spring and summer vacations to come here and help repair the homes of poor people. I smiled when I saw them there sweating and working hard to do some good in this world.While the news headlineswere so full of murder,hate,and violence in our society,these young people were doing their best to share some love and light with others.In my heart and mind I heard the words once again:“I was hungry and you gave me food;I was a stranger and you welcomed me;I was naked(裸体的) and you gave me clothing;I was sick and you took care of me.”
There is so much good we can do in this life.There are so many people we can help.There is so much love we can share.And as long as there is life,there is more to do.Whether it is repairing a house,sharing a smile,offering a hug,adopting a dog,visiting the sick,giving to charity(慈善),praying for others,sharing a kind word,or doing any act of goodness,every single thing we do is precious in the eyes of people.

Nowadays loving each other is a good deed and common in the society.

Paragraph 2:
Choose to love,and you will help others.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Nowadays loving each other is a good deed and common in the society. Choose to love,and you will have joy.Therefore,learning from what the young men and women have done,I take part in the church work camps on weekends,no matter how cold or hot it is.What the teenagers have done sets an example to me and changes my mind.Whenever I meet the people in need,I rush to help them.如今,彼此相爱是一件好事,在社会中也很普遍。选择爱,你就会有快乐。因此,从年轻男女所做的学习,我在周末参加教堂的劳改营,不管天气多冷多热。青少年们所做的事情为我树立了榜样,也改变了我的主意。每当我遇到需要帮助的人时,我就会急于帮助他们。
Choose to love, and you will help others. How do you want to experience life?Will you be more kind?Begin with yourself. Realize that you are powerful and can create love. Take care of your thoughts and feelings and make sure they can reflect the positive aspects of you.You can then devote this love to people and places around you.Your love becomes the love other people feel.Be an angel and choose to live freely and joyfully. In this way, the society we live in will be better and better.选择去爱,你就会帮助别人。你想如何体验生活?你会更友善吗?从你自己开始。意识到你是强大的,可以创造爱。照顾好你的思想和感觉,并确保它们能反映出你的积极方面。然后你就可以把这种爱奉献给你周围的人和地方。你的爱变成了别人所感受到的爱。做一个天使,选择自由和快乐地生活。这样,我们所生活的社会就会越来越好。
第11篇 圣诞老人
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma.I was just a kid.
I went to town on my bike to visit her on the day when my big sister told me,“There is no Santa Claus,and even dummies know that!”
My grandma always told the truth,always.I fled to her that day because I knew she would stand on my side.
Hearing my story,Grandma was ready for me.“No Santa Claus?” she snorted.“Ridiculous! Don't believe it.Such rumors have been going around for years,and it makes me mad,plain mad!Now,put on your coat,and let's go.”
“Go? Go where,Grandma?” I asked.We drove to Kerby's General Store.As we walked through its doors,Grandma handed me ten dollars.That was a bundle in those days.“Take the money”,she said,“and buy something for someone who needs it.” Then she went away and waited in the car.
I was only eight years old.I'd often gone shopping with my mother,but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store seemed big and crowded,full of people scrambling(抢夺) to finish their Christmas shopping.
For a few moments I just stood there,confused,holding that tendollar bill,wondering what to buy and who on earth to buy it for.Then I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker.He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair.Bobby Decker didn't have a coat.I knew that because he never went out to play during the winter.His mother always wrote a note,telling the teacher that he had a cough,but all we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough; he didn't have a good coat.Yes,I would buy Bobby Decker a coat!
My eyes were fixed on a red coat which looked real warm and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly,as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes,Ma'am,” I replied shyly.“It's for Bobby.”

Paragraph 1:
That evening,Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons.Grandma drove me through the crowded street and finally we arrived at Bobby Decker's home.Grandma told me to knock at the door.I laid down the present,knocked at the door three times and quickly ran away to hide behind the tree nearby.Soon Bobby Decker came out,looking around. He found the present and happily took it home.
那天晚上,奶奶帮我用圣诞纸和缎带裹好外套。奶奶开车送我穿过拥挤的街道,最后我们到达了鲍比·德克尔的家。奶奶叫我去敲门。我放下礼物,敲了三次门,然后迅速跑开,躲在附近的树后面。不久,鲍比·德克尔出来了,环顾四周。他找到了礼物,并很高兴地把它带回家了。
Paragraph 2:
Fifty years hasn't reduced the excitement of those moments.I still remember holding my breath when seeing Bobby Decker came out to pick up his present.We waited until he went back.It was not until then that I realized that Santa Claus was among us.He did exist.It was ridiculous to think there was no Santa Claus in the world.I often tell this story to my children,telling them Santa visits us during Christmas time,when people should show kindness to others.
五十年来并没有减少那些时刻的兴奋感。我还记得,当我看到鲍比·德克尔出来拿起礼物时,我屏住了呼吸。我们一直等到他回来。直到那时,我才意识到圣诞老人就在我们中间。他确实存在。一想到世界上没有圣诞老人就太荒谬了。我经常把这个故事告诉我的孩子们,告诉他们圣诞老人在圣诞节来看我们,那时人们应该对别人表示友善。
第12篇 外科医生的信仰
阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Michelle was 5 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack, only an infant (婴儿). He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away…
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist (药剂师) turned around and asked her, “What do you want?”
“Well, it’s about my brother,” Michelle answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.
“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry, but I can’t help you.” the pharmacist said.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it.” With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.
At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down stairs and asked the little girl, “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice, “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”
“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother lives.”

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Holding the man’s hand firmly, Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents. And it wasn’t long before Jack was home again and doing well! Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle: one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little girl.
米歇尔紧紧地握着那个男人的手,把他带回家了。小女孩走得很匆忙,甚至忘记向那个男人介绍自己。她的父母太惊讶了,不敢相信他们的眼睛。那个衣着考究的男人原来是一名专攻神经外科的外科医生。后来,这个小弟弟被带走了。手术完成时只支付了1美元11美分。没过多久,杰克就回家了,做得很好!米歇尔非常高兴。现在她知道了一个奇迹的确切价格:一美元十一美分,再加上一个小女孩的信仰。
Paragraph 2:
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed. “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesn’t matter how much money she actually had with her. What matters is her faith, a faith in the existence of miracles.”、
当被问及为什么选择帮助这个家庭时,这名男子详细说。“在我自己年轻的时候,我曾经和那个小婴儿处于同样的处境。这个小女孩让我想起了我自己的妹妹。是她救了我的命。我对她的天真印象深刻,我决心帮助家人摆脱麻烦。不管她到底有多少钱。重要的是她的信仰,一种对奇迹存在的信仰。”

I am a photographer running a studio in the inner city. We are well known for our children's portraits (肖像),and we range from high-end portraits for modelling jobs to fun sibling photos and birth announcements. We do a bit of everything; as such, we are extremely busy, and it states on our website that we do not accept walk-ins. We are usually booked up six months in advance. One day, ten minutes before closing, a mum walked in with a young girl around six or seven behind her. I internally sighed.
The mother said:"Hello. I know you're closing soon, but I have a special favour to ask.”
At that point the little girl peeked around her mother's legs and I was lost for words. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she was skinny with huge dark circles under her eyes. From what I could tell, she had no hair, and a tube taped to her cheek that fed into her nose. It was immediately clear this kid was very, very sick.
The mother said again, nearly teary. " My daughter saw one of your photos taped to the wall at the hospital. She really loves unicorns (独角兽)and the photo had a girl photoshopped onto a horse. I know you're booked up, and it's months before the next appointment, but…”
At that point she actually started crying. I realised that our next available appointment was probably way too far away for this particular kid. The little girl squeezed her mother's hand. I am a very big guy with a beard, but I'm not ashamed to say I needed a minute before I spoke.
I smiled and said with the softest voice I had ever had : ” Ahh, that's just for regular customers I I've been waiting all day to take a photo of someone as beautiful as you! What's your name, sweetheart?"

She was the sweetest, most well-behaved kid I had ever worked with. Once we were done, she lay on the couch in my office and fell asleep while I loaded up the photos for her mum to see and choose the ones she liked best.
我锁上了前门,邀请他们去更衣室。在接下来的三个小时里,我给这个穿着我衣橱里所有公主衣服的孩子拍照。她是和我共事过的最可爱、最乖的孩子。我们完成后,她躺在我办公室的沙发上睡着了,我把照片装起来给她妈妈看并选择她最喜欢的。
The other thanked me over and over and came up front, holding out her credit card. I refused to accept it, say: “I feel very honored to take a photo of such a lovely angel. I’m not taking money for this, but I hope you can allow me to put one of her photos in our showcase, because she has the most beautiful and warmest smile. Many years later that photo of a sick little girl on a giant pink unicorn is still in a frame in my shop, always reminding me to show kindness to those who really need it.

第14篇 五十个金币
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。
Long, long ago, in a little village lived a humble(谦虚的) man named Ashwin. He went about making ends meet by pulling a rickshaw(人力 车) and transporting passengers from one destination to another. Times were hard and he had to take the responsibility for supporting his family.
One day, while returning from work, a man who looked like a wealthy person coming from the city stopped his rickshaw. He quickly told Ashwin the place he wanted to visit. His car had broken down and he desperately needed to get to the mentioned address urgently. After an uneventful ride, they reached the destination, and the passenger paid the fare.
Ashwin, on returning home, found to his surprise that his passenger just then had dropped a small bag in his rickshaw. On opening it, he found 50 gold coins in it. He showed it to his family who couldn’t believe their luck. His wife said with joy, “Thank goodness. Now we find a solution to our problems.”
That night, Ashwin couldn’t sleep. His conscience(良心) kept troubling him. At the crack of dawn, he woke his wife up. He said, “Lalita, I think it’s wrong to keep someone else’s gold coins. I am going to search for the man and hand over the coins to him.” Lalita was shocked and cried, but Ashwin stuck to his word. He tried hard to find the man, but nothing seemed to work.
Eventually when he was about to give up, he saw that wealthy passenger. Ashwin ran to him and thrust(塞) the bag in his hand, “Sir, you left this bag in my rickshaw. I have been looking for you since then and I am so relieved to find you. Please take this,” he said.

第15篇 披萨店员工救人
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。
When the employees at the Domino’s pizza place in Salem, Oregon, hadn’t received any order from Kirk Alexander for more than 2 weeks, they knew something wasn’t right. Kirk was a loyal customer and the staff all knew him. So it was natural that they got worried when they had no news about him. Their concern saved his life.
Sarah Fuller, the general manager at the Domino’s branch, said that Kirk, who was 48 years old, had been a loyal customer since 2009. “He orders every day, or every other day,” Sarah said.
Normally, his order came up on the screen because he ordered online. So we saw it came across the screen and we were thinking, “Oh, Kirk’s order.” After a few days without a single order, Sarah and the staff started to worry.
A few Domino’s drivers had mentioned that they hadn’t seen his order come across their screen in a while. Sarah checked the system and saw that no order had come in 11 days. So they decided to investigate.
Sarah decided to send Tracy Hamblen, a deliver driver, to Kirk’s place. When he got there, he immediately knew something was wrong. While the lights and TV were on, Kirk did not come to the door. Additionally, his phone went directly to voicemail. So Tracy immediately called 911.
Para.1:
When the police arrived at the place,
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para.2:
A few days later, Kirk was released from the hospital.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para1: When the police arrived at the place, they heard a cry for help from the inside of the house. Inside, they found Kirk, who was in need of immediate medical help. Due to the quick actions of Tracy, Kirk is in stable condition at the Salem Hospital. The Domino’s employees received a lot of praise online for their unbelievable thoughtfulness. But they said that it was just part of their job and they were just doing their job.
当警察到达那个地方时,他们听到了来自房子里的呼救声。在里面,他们发现了需要立即得到医疗帮助的柯克。由于特蕾西的快速行动,柯克在塞勒姆医院的情况很稳定。多米美牌的员工难以置信的体贴在网上受到了很多赞扬。但他们说,这只是他们工作的一部分,他们只是在做自己的工作。
Para2: A few days later, Kirk was released from the hospital. He came to the Domino’s personally with some homemade cookies to say thank--you to Sarah and the Domino’s staff. The Domino’s mentioned that “Caring for customers should not be taken at face value. We should remember that the customers determine the success of our company and in turn we can also have an impact on their lives, small or big.” Kirk’s story has made this pizza shop even more popular in the community, and it has received more orders ever since.
几天后,柯克出院了。他亲自带着一些自制的饼干来到多米诺餐厅,对莎拉和多米诺餐厅的工作人员说谢谢。达美乐牌提到,“照顾客户不应该有面子”。我们应该记住,客户决定了我们公司的成功,反过来我们也可以对他们的生活产生影响。柯克的故事让这家披萨店在社区中更受欢迎,从那时起它收到了更多的订单。
【分析】
文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个披萨店的员工,细心地发现近期没有收到来自老顾客Kirk的订单,于是派人前去查看,发现Kirk生病并及时报警就医,确保了Kirk的安全。员工的善举为披萨店赢得了更多的称赞和订单。

第16篇 捐赠
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。
What started as a lonely graduation day for a teen in Alabama has turned into a priceless opportunity to bond with his teacher. Now, that teacher is working to get that student a car that will get him started in his adult life.
On Thursday, Bessemer City High School held its annual graduation ceremony. Dom Moore was one of the teachers involved in coordinating the event. After the ceremony ended, Dom was cleaning up. Nearly everybody had left to celebrate with friends and family, but one young man was still sitting there by himself. “I knew his moods and I knew he wasn't himself,” Dom said. Not knowing what to say at first, the teacher told him, "I expect big things from you and it's going to be OK.”
Dom assumed that someone would show up eventually to give the graduate a ride home. But nobody did. When Dom offered to drive him, the two had no idea that this was to be more than just a ride home. The teacher decided to take him out to eat-at any restaurant of his choice. They ended up at the Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed a hearty meal and dessert to celebrate the graduate's achievement.
At first, the two were fighting back tears. But before long, they were having a great time together. Dom never asked why the boy's family did not attend the ceremony. What was important to him was that the young man felt appreciated for what he had accomplished. Later that evening, Dom took to Facebook to share a photo and some thoughts on the event. He says that he doesn't normally post about these situations, as they are all too common in his profession, but that something inside urged him to share this experience.

【答案】Actually, Dom wanted to help the young man. Dom shared his wish to raise money for the young man in the post. He hoped someone may be a blessing to this young man. Luckily, before long, generous people, many of whom were strangers, sent more than $5, 000 as donations. Dom took him to open a bank account with the money. Dom wanted to help him buy a car, which can make his travel more convenient. He also taught the man to save up to attend college one day.
事实上,多姆是想帮助这个年轻人的。多姆分享了他想为这个年轻人筹集资金的愿望。他希望有人能祝福这个年轻人。幸运的是,不久,慷慨的人,其中很多都是陌生人,发送了$5000多人作为捐款。多姆带他带着钱开了一个银行账户。多姆想帮他买一辆车,这会让他的旅行更方便。他还教这个人有一天要存钱去上大学。
Dom thinks what these people did set an example to us. Dom felt amazed that so many people would help the teen. He has undoubtedly raised much money beyond his imagination. Dom thinks the story will remind us of what is truly important and give hope to those who are struggling. We usually take life for granted, but the story shows us that there is always beauty in our heart. Even though we have difficulties, at this moment it shows that mankind is good.
多姆认为这些人的行为为我们树立了榜样。多姆感到很惊讶,有这么多人会帮助这个青少年。毫无疑问,他已经筹集到了许多超出他想象的钱。多姆认为这个故事会提醒我们真正重要的事情,并给那些正在挣扎的人希望。我们通常把生活看作是理所当然的,但这个故事告诉我们,我们的心中总是有美的。尽管我们有困难,但在此时此刻,它表明人类是好的。

第17篇 陌生人帮我修车
3.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。
I am a frequent interstate traveler. I was born in Ontario, Canada and thus all my family except my husband and children live there. So three times a year I make a trip north from Georgia to visit. I often travel by myself as my children are all grown and my husband is working.
Two years ago I went up in the spring and brought one of my sisters south for a month to take away the pains of a long winter. This year I did the same. It is interesting that many of my friends have said "Aren't you scared?" or "What if you break down?”. I always respond that I have a lot of faith in the Lord and in myself. My husband is a mechanic and each year gives my 230,000+ miles car a good checkup. He will come for me if I need help.
Here is how my miracle happened on Interstate 85 North in South Carolina. Heading north to take my sweet sister of 63 home to Canada, we were chatting away and I was driving 70 miles per hour in the third lane over. Yes, the fastest lane. All of a sudden, I started to lose power. I said anxiously I was losing power and got over to the next and then the right lane, I was driving at about 40 miles per hour when I got to the first exit. I finally arrived at a Citgo station and pulled off the road.
I immediately called my husband and he didn't answer. I was thinking he never answered his phone. I called 2 more times saying please answer the phone to myself. I was getting pretty upset thinking what I should do. I got out of the car and looked under it and smelled gas. Then* I checked the oil and water. Luckily, both were good! My sister went into the gas station and said to the clerk if he knew anyone who could help us and then said pray for us as she made her way to the rest room.

3.答案:
I was standing by my car when a man with broken English suddenly appeared. He said if he could he would help me. I said I thought there was a gas leak because I smelled it. He got under the car, and 2 minutes later, he slid out and said it was all fixed. He asked me to start it up and see if it worked well. Actually, at first, I was a little skeptical. But I did as he said. To my delight and relief, my car did indeed roar to life and had power.
我站在旁边,一个英语不好的人突然出现了。他说如果他能做到的话,他会帮助我的。我说我以为有煤气泄漏,因为我闻到了。他钻进了车下面,两分钟后,他滑了出来,说一切都修好了。他让我启动它,看看它是否有效。事实上,一开始,我有点怀疑。但我还是照他说的那样做了。令我高兴和欣慰的是,我的车确实轰鸣着生活,而且有动力。
I thanked my rescuer and asked him if I could pay him for his help. He shook his head instantly and politely refused my offer. I thanked the nice man again and gave him a big hug. My heart was full and said he was a blessing in my life. His face lit up and had a beautiful smile. My sister and I were both teary eyed and extremely grateful. There are so many stories of rudeness and unkindness to others but I have been blessed many times by kind and helpful people.
我感谢了我的救援者,并问他是否能付给他的帮助。他立刻摇了摇头,礼貌地拒绝了我的提议。我再次感谢了那个好人,并给了他一个大大的拥抱。我的心充满了活力,他说他是我生命中的一种祝福。他的脸亮了起来,露出了美丽的微笑。我姐姐和我都很流泪,非常感激。有很多关于对别人粗鲁和不友善的故事,但我很多次得到善良和帮助的人的祝福。
第18篇 特殊的驾车旅行
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was somewhere between spring and summer, and my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then, I was 13 years old, and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car.
Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn't the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It'll just be a
minute,” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared, empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the
receptionist.” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flow-
ers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn't gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave
your name?” To this she answered instantly,“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will
appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank you for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom's deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.

Paragraph 1:
We were worrying about what could be done.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.
答案
[写作提示]
本文讲述的是作者和母亲的一次普通但又特殊的驾车旅行。当时,13岁的作者处于青春叛逆
期,跟母亲关系紧张,但这一次驾车旅行改变了作者对母亲的态度,母亲不求回报的送花行为让
作者明白了“好人有好报”的道理,并且对母亲有了更深的理解。
根据第一段的段首句,此段应该是为了修车他们是如何寻求帮助的。但是为了和文章更好地
呼应,应该从母亲的送花行为为他们带来了帮助入手。
根据第二段的段首句,本段应着重叙述从修完车之后,作者他们重新上路的事情。根据看到花
店的信息,本段应该重新回到买花的情节。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,
Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far
we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact thegarage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about
how great that day was. It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people
who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
我们一直在担心能做些什么。但在等了相当长的一段时间后,妈妈和我决定走回路上的疗养院和寻求帮助。天知道我们开了多远了!当我们到达时,接待员很惊讶,但还是热情地帮助我们联系了车库。在那里,收到鲜花的老人们很兴奋地见到我们,谈论着那天有多伟大。让我惊讶的是,随机的善意对接受善意的人意味着什么。正当我们愉快地笑着说话的时候,车库里修理了我们的车。
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop,
where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
当我们开车走时,路上看见了一家花店。我飞快地走进花店,一束盛开的红色花朵引起了我的注意。目睹了善良的影响后,我决定送给妈妈。很快,天上的气味再次充满了汽车。妈妈试图掩饰她的兴奋,但闪闪发光的眼泪没有了。在这次旅行中,我发现,尽管我偶尔会对她生气,但我还是为她感到骄傲。这是我生命中的一次旅行之旅。

第19篇 归还雨伞
良好的人际关系和社会交往:(社会温情篇:助人亦助己)(衡水中学高三上学期二调)
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。
I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment, struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview, I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved.
On impulse( 冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name. I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered.
"Yes,"she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. "It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.”
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving( 找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts,no remembrance whatsoever.
Thinking of this, I couldn't control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen overwhelmed by misery.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man with his arms full of parcels. “This is a mistake”, I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I didn't know what to do. Later, Peggy and I sat on the floor, looking at each other. What a surprise! I searched for the name of the sender.
突然,门铃响了,佩吉冲去接,说一定是圣诞老人。然后我听到一个男人热情地对她说话,便走到门口。他是一个送货工,手里装满了包裹。“这是个错误,”我说,但他读了包裹上的名字,它们是给我的。他走了以后,我就不知道该怎么办了。后来,我把佩吉和我坐在地板上,互相看着。多么大的惊喜啊!我搜索了发件人的名字。
Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read“Thanks for your returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas!”It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading across my body. On the cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded into me like a blessing, which made me hopeful again.
突然,一个包裹上的一张便条引起了我的注意。我拿起纸条,上面写着“谢谢你归还雨伞。”圣诞快乐!这是那位女士寄来的。我紧紧地握着纸条,快要哭了,一股温暖响彻我的全身。在寒冷的圣诞节里,我忘记了我没有钱付房租,口袋里只有15美元。我们只是坐在小公寓里,一个接一个地打开礼物。一种甜蜜的和平像一种祝福一样涌入我的心中,这让我再次充满了希望。
第20篇 善意的力量
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。
My senior year of high school was an extremely busy one. If I wasn't studying and worrying about my grades, I was taking part in multiple extra-curricular activities or attempting to make preparations for college.
Finally, as my senior year began to wind down, I got a part-time job at the local cafe.I had figured that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring excellent coffee, making delicious cakes and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
Who I hadn't counted on were the people with great orders that chose to use the drive-through window, or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men that wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached a certain level of perfection.There were moments when I was annoyed with the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to please anyone. Nevertheless, I kept at it.
One miserable rainy day, I spent my afternoon handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies. I tried to smile as the customers complained about the rain, but it was difficult to smile as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up while I dealt with huge droplets of water hanging from my visor(遮阳帽舌). On top of that, no one was tipping. Every time I looked into my nearly empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.
Around four o'clock, one of my regular customers named Hank came in looking depressed and defeated. My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but he wouldn't reveal any details. He just said he felt like crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
【参考答案】
Before Hank left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me
questioningly because he hadn't ordered anything but the coffee.He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favorite type of cake. "It's on me. "I told him. “ Have a nice day !” He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.
在汉克离开之前,我递给了他一个包和他的冰咖啡。他一直看着我。毫有疑问,因为他除了咖啡之外什么也没点。他打开包,看到我给了他他最喜欢的蛋糕。“这就在我身上。“我告诉了他。“祝今天愉快!”他笑着谢了我,然后转身回到雨中。
Around seven o'clock the next evening, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of
Ordering anything, he handed me a bunch of flowers. He said not too many people took the time to care about others, and he was glad that there were still people like me in the world. I was very touched and almost forgot what had happened on the previous day. I happily thanked him. As the day passed, I had plenty of complaining customers, but any time I felt depressed, I thought of Hank and his kindness. I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and politely ask, “How can I help you?”
第二天晚上七点钟左右,汉克开车走到窗前。而不是他点了任何东西,就递给我一束花。他说,没有太多的人花时间去照顾别人,他很高兴在这个世界上还有像我这样的人。我很感动,几乎忘记了前一天发生的事情。我很高兴地感谢了他。随着一天的过去,我有很多顾客在抱怨,但每当我感到沮丧时,我就会想到汉克和他的善良。我会微笑着,抬起头,清清喉咙,礼貌地问:“我怎么帮你呢?”

第1篇 最后的心愿
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。
I was responding to a call from a small brick flat in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goers,or someone who had just had a fight with a lover,or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.
When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, many drivers just honk(按喇叭) once or twice,wait a minute,then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.
Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door.
This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance,I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute," answered a frail,elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause,the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat ,like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no equipment on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said. I took the suitcase to the cab,then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm,and we walked slowly toward the cab.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

Paragraph 1:
Having given me an address, a hospice , she asked. "Could you drive through downtown?" Asked why we didn't take the shortest way, the small woman told me it was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.
Paragraph 2:
we drove in silence to the address she had given me , and it was a low building,where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair. When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I said nothing and bent to give her a bug . It was my assistance that helped one of weak people realize her wish.
第1段:
她给了我一个地址,一个收容所,她问。“你能开车穿过市中心吗?”当被问及为什么我们不走最短的路时,那个小女人告诉我,这是她去这个城市的最后一次机会。我们开车穿过她和她丈夫住过的社区。此外,她请我在某幢大楼或角落前放慢脚步,坐在那里盯着黑暗,什么也没说。最后,她说她累了,想去临终关怀医院。
第2段:
我们默默地驱车前往她给我的地址,那是一幢低矮的建筑,老太太将在那里度过余生。我们一停下车,一定在等着她,两名护士就上了驾驶室。我打开后备箱,把手提箱拿到门口,那个女人已经坐在轮椅了。当她问她欠我多少钱时,我什么也没说,心想给她一个虫子。是我的帮助,帮助一个弱者实现了她的愿望。
第2篇 求职经验
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。
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, Matt went shopping with his family. They filled two shopping carts with lots of groceries that were enough for a whole week. Immersed in warm sunlight, they headed to the parking lot.
Suddenly, Matt caught sight of a strange man. Usually, it was common to find some homeless people outside a supermarket. At first sight, Matt thought he was just a homeless guy, but there was something different with him. He was sitting on a sleeping bag with multiple resumes neatly laid out, along with a sign that read “need work and food.” The old and poor clothes could not hide his optimism and eagerness. The sign aroused Matt’s curiosity. Matt asked if he could see his resume. The strange man hopped right up, handed one to Matt politely, and then started introducing all about his experience as if it were an interview. His name was Shawn. In fact, Shawn was a 52-year-old former cook. Matt, in his thirties, also a cook, found Shawn was a well-spoken, cool and friendly guy who knew exactly what he wanted and was going after it. Shawn’s eagerness deeply impressed Matt.
Accustomed to seeing homeless people ask for food and or money, Matt found it surprising to witness a homeless guy making efforts to find a job despite difficult circumstances. The man in front of him looked nothing like a beggar in depression. There was not even a trace of self-pity in his eyes. Shawn’s efforts reminded Matt his situations where he had nothing and had to bust his butt (努力) to get work and earn money. Right now and here, Shawn was doing what he had experienced, so Matt had a lot of respect for Shawn. Matt bought him a bottle of water and some sandwiches. Shawn took with shyness. Then, Matt took a picture of his resume to post on Facebook, not knowing if anything would come of it.
Soon, someone came across Shawn’s post and offered him a job as a cook at a small downtown restaurant.

第3篇 避难所

I got up at 4 am to receive a call from my daughter who needed my help to get home from the snowy mountain. After I helped her get a taxi, I noticed I was out of cigarettes, so I went to the gas station up the street to purchase some. There I saw a young man wrapped in a thin blanket, trying to keep out of the snow. I went in and bought my cigarettes.
As I walked out of the station, this young man asked me for a cigarette. I pulled out one, gave him and left. I just went forward a few steps and suddenly I realized that I should do something for him. I returned and asked him if he wanted a hot coffee. Obviously he couldn’t hide his eagerness to get one and said “yes, please”. Again I went in the station and bought him an extra large cup.
When I went back home, the pitiful look of the poor guy being out in the cold flashed before my eyes. Without hesitation I grabbed my warm coat and hurried to the guy. Helping him put on the coat, I told him there was a shelter nearby where he could ask for help. I asked him to promise me he would do it.
At about 6 o’clock, I got home. Seeing my daughter arrive safely and get ready for bed, I rested my heavy body on the sofa wondering about the guy at the gas station. So I made a call to the shelter and told the nice girl on the phone that there was a guy out in the cold. Told that they had one or two beds left, I quickly got into my car and drove to the gas station.

【答案】After I finally drove the guy to the shelter, he was very grateful. I helped him get settled in a shelter, bought him some food and necessities, and kept some money. After making sure he would make it through the winter, I drove away. I was so happy on the way because the poor guy was warm and cared for. Wish him a good life in the future. I didn't want him to repay me because it was just a piece of cake to me.
在我终于开车把那个人送到避难所后,他非常感激。我帮他在一个收容所定居下来,给他买了一些食物和必需品,还存了一些钱。在确保他能度过整个冬天后,我开车走了。我在路上很高兴,因为这个可怜的家伙很暖和,很受照顾。祝他未来生活得很好。我不想让他偿还我,因为这对我来说只是一块蛋糕。
Ten years later, I received a strange call. I didn't know the number, and I didn't recognize the sound. The man opposite said, "Do you remember me?" I was embarrassed because I couldn't remember anything." You helped me through a cold winter ten years ago." He said. I had a light. "It's you. How have you been?" I enthused. "I'm living a good life now and I don't have to be hungry and cold anymore." It's warm to think of that winter," he said,“Thank you for helping me and giving me hope. I have set up several shelters to help more people like me that winter, which I think is the best to repay your kindness. "

第4篇 夜遇老人

Kent was a manager of a furniture agency. His establishment nearly went bankrupt (倒闭)because of the wrong decision he had made. He was so regretful and depressed that he planned to drive to a bar alone to release his emotions.
It was near midnight in an extremely cold winter, and the temperature was minus 9 degrees centigrade. There were few people in the street. Suddenly, a figure of an old madam entered his line of sight. She was standing sideways near a platform, dressed in a plain coat, dragging a suitcase, and holding a plastic bag in the other hand. The slight old lady was seemingly more than 80. She was trembling in cutting wind. Now she kept motioning Kent for a ride. Although Kent was somewhat angry about the old madam's disturbing,he wouldn't like to leave her in the cold night. He noticed she coughed violently and thought that she might be ill and really needed help. So he braked near her.
The madam said, "Would you please take me for a ride? I can offer double fare. . . " Kent interrupted her, "I will charge you nothing! Come on!" The madam pointed to her luggage and said, "Could you put my suitcase into the car?" Kent stepped out and put it in the trunk.
Kent proceeded to drive. He stopped at a petrol station where he wanted to purchase gallons of gasoline (汽油). During the interval they waited in a queue,the madam began her narration, "Could you please send me to the charity house in the suburbs? I want to send them something. I had been given help there 50 years ago. The president and workers were all good guys." She burst into tears,"Now they've all passed away. The life was tough at that time, but we all loved and cared about each other. I've held a desire to be back there again for long." Kent realized the madam was recalling a section of the good missing days. A complicated feeling surrounded him, and he decided to cancel his plan and stay with the old madam.
Paragraph 1 :
After a two-hour drive,they came to the gate of their destination.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【范文】
Paragraph 1 :
After a two-hour drive, they carne to the gate of their destination. It was quiet and dark. The door of the charity house was closed and a weak light went through the guard room. Kent got off the car and rang the bell. An old doorkeeper came out. Making clear why they came, they were invited in. The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected. Then they looked round the house and left. On the way back, the old madam asked for another ride, "Please send me to the rest home in the town. sir."
开车两小时后,他们来到了目的地门口。那里安静而黑暗。慈善机构的门关着,一盏微弱的光线穿过警卫室。肯特下了车,按响了门铃。一个老守门员走了出来。弄清楚他们为什么要来,他们就被邀请进来了。老夫人把她的手提箱交给了看门人,里面是她收集的衣服和玩具。然后他们环顾四周的房子,离开了。在回来的路上,老太太要求再骑一次,“请把我送到城里其余的家里。先生。”
Paragraph 2 :
Hearing this, Kent lapsed into silence, because he knew the rest home was for patients with incurable diseases. "I have been seriously ill for a long time and will soon die of lung cancer. I come out to say goodbye to my life. Now I will have no regrets before death. Thanks for your help!" The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face. Kent remained silent for a while. He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.
听到这话,肯特就沉默了,因为他知道养老院是给不治之症患者准备的。“我已经得了重病很长一段时间了,很快就会死于肺癌。我走出来是要和我的生活说再见了。现在我在死前就不会后悔了。谢谢你的帮助!”夫人平静地解释道,脸上挂着灿烂的微笑。肯特郡沉默了一会儿。他在嚼着夫人说的话,很高兴能帮助她实现最后的愿望。
【解析】
文章主要讲述了Kent在寒冷的夜晚遇到了一个老人,并同意带她郊区慈善机构的故事。
续写分为两段。第一段的开头是:两小时车程后,他们到达了目的地的大门。所以可以接着写:天色很暗,到处都很安静,大门里的建筑里透出了微弱的光。Kent下车给门卫说明情况后,门卫让他们进去。老人把装满衣服和玩具的箱子交给门卫。他们围着建筑四处转了一下,然后离开了。路上,女士要求Kent把她送到市里的疗养院。
第二段的开头是:听了女士的话Kent陷入了沉思,因为他知道疗养院是专门为那些有不治之症的病人准备的。看到Kent的样子,女士说:“我生了很严重病,已近是癌症晚期,很快就到生命的尽头了。今天我是去和从前的生活说再见的,现在,我没有遗憾了。非常感谢你。”女士说话的时候面带笑容,丝毫看不出悲伤。Kent此刻觉得很感激,感激他能有机会帮助这位女士实现最后的愿望。
续写时需注意情节要符合逻辑,基础时态为一般过去时。
范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达,例如:The old madam handed her suitcase over to the doorkeeper, inside it being clothes arid toys she collected.中使用了独立主格;The madam made an explanation calmly, with a bright smile on her face.中使用了with复合结构;He was chewing over what the madam said, and glad that he could help her realize the last desire.中what引导宾语从句。这些表达的使用使文章色彩纷呈。
第5篇 丢失的戒指
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。
The first thing Eileen Korey noticed when she got into the car that Wednesday afternoon in early May was a small diamond ring in the tray(托盘)between the front seats. It hadn't been there before. Weeks earlier, she had taken the car in to have the airbag replaced. The car belonged to her daughter and son-in-law and she was helping them out. Now she was picking it up. That's when she saw the ring. Korey, 64, of Lake Oswego quickly contacted her daughter and son-in-law to ask if they were missing a diamond ring or if any of their friends had reported losing a ring. They both wrote back, saying they had no idea what she was talking about.
Korey took the ring to the service desk at the garage to ask if any women technicians might have left a ring in the car while they were working on it. The woman behind the counter said only men worked on the cars.
Korey asked if the desk clerk could get information from the guy who had replaced the airbag. Over a two-way radio(对讲机), Helbt said he'd placed the ring in the tray when it dropped to the car's floor after he opened up the steering column to replace the airbag. He was not sure how it got there.
She knew a friend who was a jeweler and stopped by to have her look at the ring to see if it was real. Her friend said the diamond, set in a white gold hand, was worth$1, 200 and Korey could easily sell it for $500. But she wouldn't sell it. After making sure the ring didn’t belong to anyone in her family—or anyone at the auto shop Korey tracked down the first owner of the car using paperwork she found in the glove box. Her detective work led her to a dealership in Beaverton, and the car's first owners:Daniel and Ashleigh Hannah. The Hannahs had purchased the small ring when they got engaged and were saving money to buy a house.
Paragraph 1:
One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The couple searched the parking lot and the car for hours. Nothing.
_______________________________________________________________________________【范文】
Paragraph 1:
One Sunday afternoon, they were driving to an event in their car but had to stop at the bank and use the ATM machine. Ashleigh, showing her husband where to turn, gestured wildly with her left hand and felt the ring slip off. However, when searching the car carefully, they weren't able to find it. They figured it fell out of the open driver's side window.
一个星期天日下午,他们当时开车去参加活动,但不得不在银行停下来使用自动取款机。阿什莉告诉丈夫去哪里转,用左手疯狂地做了个手势,感觉戒指掉了。然而,当他们仔细搜查汽车时,他们却找不到它。他们发现它从敞开的司机侧窗里掉了下来。
Paragraph 2:
The couple searched the parking lot and the car for hours. Nothing. Later, back at home, the Hannah has searched through the car for hours. Nothing. Years later, Daniel bought his wife a much larger engagement ring. Finally, this month Korey made contact with Daniel Hannah. They met, and as a reward for returning the ring, she simply asked that Daniel send her a photo of the moment he surprised his wife with her lost engagement ring. On Mother's Day, Ashleigh's son gave her the ring. It didn't fit and was much smaller than her replacement ring, but none of that mattered.
这对夫妇搜查了停车场和汽车好几个小时。没有什么内容。后来,回到家里,汉娜已经在车里搜索了好几个小时。没有什么内容。几年后,丹尼尔给妻子买了一枚更大的订婚戒指。最后,这个月,科瑞和丹尼尔·汉娜取得了联系。他们见面了,作为归还戒指的回报,她只是要求丹尼尔给她一张照片,这是他给妻子丢失的订婚戒指的那一刻。母亲节那天,阿什利的儿子把戒指给了她。它不合适,比她的替代戒指要小得多,但这些都不重要。
【解析】
文章讲述了Eileen Korey在车修理后发现里面有一枚戒指,但是问了她的女儿和女婿,以及修理店的员工,他们都说不是自己的。后来她问了车的第一个主人,才知道戒指是他们的。
续写分为两段。第一段的开头是:一个周末的下午,他们开车去参加一个活动,但当时需要在路边停下,去自动提款机上取钱。所以可以接着写:丈夫取好钱后,妻子Ashleigh Hannah挥手让他过来开车,因为动作太大,戒指从手指上滑落。但当时他们没有发现。第二段的开头是:夫妻两在停车场和车上找了很久。所以可以接着写:他们什么也没有发现。回到家后,他们又在车上仔细地找了几遍,结果是一样的。后来,他们不得不重新买一个订婚戒指。当Korey联系他们时,他们才知道原来戒指掉在车里了。见面时,Korey把戒指还给了Daniel,Daniel十分感激。他回家把戒指拿给妻子,虽然这个戒指比后来买的那个小得多,但是在Ashleigh看来两个都一样的珍贵。
续写时要注意时态,续写的内容要符合逻辑。范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达,例如:Ashleigh,showing her husband where to turn, gestured wildly with her left hand and felt the ring slip off.中使用了现在分词作状语;They met, and as a reward for returning the ring, she simply asked that Daniel send her a photo of the moment he surprised his wife with her lost engagement ring. 中that引导虚拟语气的宾语从句。这些表达的使用使文章色彩纷呈。
第6篇 救出小孩
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。
When his 13-year-old son came home late from school last week,John Morrissette figured he had just gone on “one of his usual walks”.It wasn’t until the next day that Morrissette found out his intellectually disabled boy, Michael, had been found in a Winnipeg garbage bin as temperatures dropped to -15°C.
Morrissette said his son had been beaten by two men,thrown in the Dumpster and left to freeze. He was found a few hours later by a woman who let him out. “I was very angry with the guys who would do this to my son,” Morrissette said in an interview Thursday. “You can see he’s a harmless child. He doesn’t talk much. He keeps to himself and two men have hurt him.”
The young teenager wasn’t seriously hurt, but Morrissette said he’s not letting him walk home alone anymore. The father’s faith in humanity is a little shaken. Morrissette said he couldn’t believe there are people out there who would pick on a young boy simply walking home from school. He’s only been able to get bits and pieces of what happened from Michael who is “too scared to talk about it”.
“We are sure we are living in a society that we all care about our children. But we feel so sad and angry with that. For the children like my son!We can’t help them? We can’t protect them?” said the father.
Nicole Langlois, who works nearby, said that she heard weak cries for help as she walked past the large garbage container, but was not sure where they were coming from. So a few hours later she went back again to the garbage container and tried to find what happened. To her great surprise,she found the boy sleeping and covered with garbage. “All he kept saying was, ‘Help. They pushed me in here,’” Langlois said. “I kept trying to talk to him and ask him who he is and he didn’t talk back to me.” As soon as she helped him out, he ran away and headed for home a few blocks away.
Paragraph 1:
“Words can’t describe how grateful the family is to Langlois,” Morrissette said.
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The family contacted police, who are investigating.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Words can’t describe how grateful the family is to Langlois,” Morrissette said. “She’s my son’s angel,” he said. “I thank her every day. She is so kind that she rescued my son from the garbage container. And we have gained our faith in humanity again.” And the family decided not to let Michael walk home by himself because they are afraid the bad men hurt him again.
“语言无法描述这个家庭对朗洛伊斯有多感激,”莫里塞特说。“她是我儿子的天使,”他说。“我每天都要感谢她。她很善良,她把我儿子从垃圾桶里救了出来。我们再次对人类有了信心。全家人决定不让迈克尔独自走回家,因为他们担心坏人会再次伤害他。
The family contacted police,who are investigating. Michael is not able to talk to the police what happened to him or who did this to him. The family is appealing to anyone who might have seen something. The family are sure there are many kind people in our society, where people will take good care of all the children,whether they are intellectually disabled or not. The police said they would try their best to find the bad men carrying out such terrible actions and punish them.
这家人联系了正在调查的警方。迈克尔无法和警察谈论他发生了什么,也说谁对他做了。这个家庭吸引任何可能看到什么东西的人。这个家庭确信在我们的社会中有很多善良的人,人们会好好照顾所有的孩子,不管他们是否智障。警方表示,他们会尽力寻找那些实施如此可怕行为的坏人,并惩罚他们。
第7篇 一封信和七美元
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。
Three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of an old lady, who was a customer on the paper routine my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old and shy boy. Yet it remains in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house from a spot near her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles (导弹,发射物) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
Paragraph 1:
I waited until it was dark, snuck up (偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
I waited until it was dark, snuck up(偷偷地走近) to the old lady’s house. I put the letter through the letter shot in her door explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window. My soul felt comfortable. I could have the forgiveness of me, and could look straight into the old lady’ s kind eyes in the yard.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and went on to eat the cookies as I continued my route.
我等到天黑,偷偷地(偷偷地走近)到老太太家。我把信放进她门里的信里,解释说我很抱歉打破了她的窗户。我的灵魂感到很舒服。我可以得到我的原谅,也可以直接看着院子里老太太善良的眼睛。第二天,我把纸递给了老太太,并回报了她那种温暖的微笑。她感谢我拿来的纸,并给了我一袋她自己做的饼干。我感谢了她,继续吃饼干一边吃。
Paragraph 2:
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised deeply. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’ m proud of you.”
吃了几块饼干后,我摸了摸一个信封,就把它从袋子里拿了出来。当我打开信封时,我感到非常惊讶。里面有七美元和一张简短的纸条,上面写着:“我为你感到骄傲。”
第8篇 遇到好人
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

第9篇 简单的感谢
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
A Simple Thank
I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to co-teach fourth grade with him.
Mr. Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from watching him. He could perform miracles, like the one her performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw. Steven couldn’t stand school. He didn’t like being picked last for kickball. He didn’t like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn’t like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe’s classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbook onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven’s shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: "Hi, Steven. I’m happy you are in my class. We are gonna have a great year." Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. "Hey, Steven," Mr. Rowe commented, "You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick." Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as closer to Mr. Rowe in classes as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe , his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.

Paragraph 1
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school. Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the bused pilled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr. Rowe. “I don’t want to leave you.” He sobbed. With red-rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe comforted him, “I will miss you, too.”
那一年时间过得很快,我们还没意识到,那是学校的最后一天。我们学校在最后一天有一个非常特殊的传统。所有的老师都挤满了人行道,向孩子们挥手道别,车上按着喇叭。但就在那一天,史蒂文慢慢地走到公交车前,低着头,热泪盈眶。他不情愿地登上了巴士,犹豫了一下,然后跑回来拥抱罗先生。“我不想离开你。”他抽泣着。罗先生用红边的眼睛安慰他说,“我也会想念你的。”
Paragraph 2
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps(海军) uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn’t believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you!” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say, simply to say a very simple THANKS.
许多年后,当一个英俊的年轻人穿着海军陆战队(海军)的制服走进我们的教室时,罗先生和我感到很惊讶。年轻人骄傲地站着。那是史蒂文!Mr.罗和我简直不敢相信我们的眼睛。他向他敬礼,紧紧地拥抱着罗先生!“我今天回到学校只是为了对你说谢谢!”我希望每个老师都有这样的学生回来说,只是说一句非常简单的谢谢。
第10篇 创造爱,传递爱
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
It was a hot and wet day in July.I was driving to the local grocery store because the heat had made my bananas go from yellow to brown overnight.My air conditioner in my car was on high,but it still wasn’t cooling me down. Suddenly, the car in front of me signaled that it was pulling off.I pressed on the brakes and slowed down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several teenagers standing in the summer sun.They weren’t playing, killing time, or hanging around though.They weren’t drinking,smoking, chatting, or looking at their cell phones.They were working on a porch(走廊).
I recognized them immediately as one of the church work camps. For more years than I can remember these young men and women have volunteered their spring and summer vacations to come here and help repair the homes of poor people. I smiled when I saw them there sweating and working hard to do some good in this world.While the news headlineswere so full of murder,hate,and violence in our society,these young people were doing their best to share some love and light with others.In my heart and mind I heard the words once again:“I was hungry and you gave me food;I was a stranger and you welcomed me;I was naked(裸体的) and you gave me clothing;I was sick and you took care of me.”
There is so much good we can do in this life.There are so many people we can help.There is so much love we can share.And as long as there is life,there is more to do.Whether it is repairing a house,sharing a smile,offering a hug,adopting a dog,visiting the sick,giving to charity(慈善),praying for others,sharing a kind word,or doing any act of goodness,every single thing we do is precious in the eyes of people.

Nowadays loving each other is a good deed and common in the society.

Paragraph 2:
Choose to love,and you will help others.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Nowadays loving each other is a good deed and common in the society. Choose to love,and you will have joy.Therefore,learning from what the young men and women have done,I take part in the church work camps on weekends,no matter how cold or hot it is.What the teenagers have done sets an example to me and changes my mind.Whenever I meet the people in need,I rush to help them.如今,彼此相爱是一件好事,在社会中也很普遍。选择爱,你就会有快乐。因此,从年轻男女所做的学习,我在周末参加教堂的劳改营,不管天气多冷多热。青少年们所做的事情为我树立了榜样,也改变了我的主意。每当我遇到需要帮助的人时,我就会急于帮助他们。
Choose to love, and you will help others. How do you want to experience life?Will you be more kind?Begin with yourself. Realize that you are powerful and can create love. Take care of your thoughts and feelings and make sure they can reflect the positive aspects of you.You can then devote this love to people and places around you.Your love becomes the love other people feel.Be an angel and choose to live freely and joyfully. In this way, the society we live in will be better and better.选择去爱,你就会帮助别人。你想如何体验生活?你会更友善吗?从你自己开始。意识到你是强大的,可以创造爱。照顾好你的思想和感觉,并确保它们能反映出你的积极方面。然后你就可以把这种爱奉献给你周围的人和地方。你的爱变成了别人所感受到的爱。做一个天使,选择自由和快乐地生活。这样,我们所生活的社会就会越来越好。
第11篇 圣诞老人
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。(满分25分)
I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma.I was just a kid.
I went to town on my bike to visit her on the day when my big sister told me,“There is no Santa Claus,and even dummies know that!”
My grandma always told the truth,always.I fled to her that day because I knew she would stand on my side.
Hearing my story,Grandma was ready for me.“No Santa Claus?” she snorted.“Ridiculous! Don't believe it.Such rumors have been going around for years,and it makes me mad,plain mad!Now,put on your coat,and let's go.”
“Go? Go where,Grandma?” I asked.We drove to Kerby's General Store.As we walked through its doors,Grandma handed me ten dollars.That was a bundle in those days.“Take the money”,she said,“and buy something for someone who needs it.” Then she went away and waited in the car.
I was only eight years old.I'd often gone shopping with my mother,but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store seemed big and crowded,full of people scrambling(抢夺) to finish their Christmas shopping.
For a few moments I just stood there,confused,holding that tendollar bill,wondering what to buy and who on earth to buy it for.Then I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker.He was a kid with bad breath and messy hair.Bobby Decker didn't have a coat.I knew that because he never went out to play during the winter.His mother always wrote a note,telling the teacher that he had a cough,but all we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn't have a cough; he didn't have a good coat.Yes,I would buy Bobby Decker a coat!
My eyes were fixed on a red coat which looked real warm and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly,as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes,Ma'am,” I replied shyly.“It's for Bobby.”

Paragraph 1:
That evening,Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and ribbons.Grandma drove me through the crowded street and finally we arrived at Bobby Decker's home.Grandma told me to knock at the door.I laid down the present,knocked at the door three times and quickly ran away to hide behind the tree nearby.Soon Bobby Decker came out,looking around. He found the present and happily took it home.
那天晚上,奶奶帮我用圣诞纸和缎带裹好外套。奶奶开车送我穿过拥挤的街道,最后我们到达了鲍比·德克尔的家。奶奶叫我去敲门。我放下礼物,敲了三次门,然后迅速跑开,躲在附近的树后面。不久,鲍比·德克尔出来了,环顾四周。他找到了礼物,并很高兴地把它带回家了。
Paragraph 2:
Fifty years hasn't reduced the excitement of those moments.I still remember holding my breath when seeing Bobby Decker came out to pick up his present.We waited until he went back.It was not until then that I realized that Santa Claus was among us.He did exist.It was ridiculous to think there was no Santa Claus in the world.I often tell this story to my children,telling them Santa visits us during Christmas time,when people should show kindness to others.
五十年来并没有减少那些时刻的兴奋感。我还记得,当我看到鲍比·德克尔出来拿起礼物时,我屏住了呼吸。我们一直等到他回来。直到那时,我才意识到圣诞老人就在我们中间。他确实存在。一想到世界上没有圣诞老人就太荒谬了。我经常把这个故事告诉我的孩子们,告诉他们圣诞老人在圣诞节来看我们,那时人们应该对别人表示友善。
第12篇 外科医生的信仰
阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Michelle was 5 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack, only an infant (婴儿). He was very sick and they were completely out of money. Only a very costly operation could save Jack, but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed. She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Hearing the words, Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box. After counting the coins three times, she slipped out of the room and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away…
She waited for a long time before the pharmacist (药剂师) turned around and asked her, “What do you want?”
“Well, it’s about my brother,” Michelle answered, “He’s really sick. And I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.
“His name is Jack. And he has something very bad growing inside his body. And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I am sorry, but I can’t help you.” the pharmacist said.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it.” With these words, Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.
At this time, a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down stairs and asked the little girl, “I am selling the miracle you want. Tell me how much money you have.”
“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice, “That’s all the money I have. But I can get some more if I need to.”
“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents. The exact price of a miracle for your little brother. Show me the place where your brother lives.”

【答案】Paragraph 1:
Holding the man’s hand firmly, Michelle took him home. The little girl walked in such a hurry that she even forgot to introduce herself to the man. Her parents were too surprised to believe their eyes. That well-dressed man turned out to be a surgeon, specializing in neural surgery. Later, the little brother was taken away. The operation was completed with payment of one dollar and eleven cents. And it wasn’t long before Jack was home again and doing well! Michelle was more than happy. Now she knew the exact price of a miracle: one dollar and eleven cents, plus the faith of a little girl.
米歇尔紧紧地握着那个男人的手,把他带回家了。小女孩走得很匆忙,甚至忘记向那个男人介绍自己。她的父母太惊讶了,不敢相信他们的眼睛。那个衣着考究的男人原来是一名专攻神经外科的外科医生。后来,这个小弟弟被带走了。手术完成时只支付了1美元11美分。没过多久,杰克就回家了,做得很好!米歇尔非常高兴。现在她知道了一个奇迹的确切价格:一美元十一美分,再加上一个小女孩的信仰。
Paragraph 2:
When asked why he chose to help the family, the man detailed. “When I was young myself, I was once in the same situation as the little baby. The little girl reminded me of my own sister. It was she who saved my life. Deeply impressed by her innocence, I was determined to help the family out of trouble. It doesn’t matter how much money she actually had with her. What matters is her faith, a faith in the existence of miracles.”、
当被问及为什么选择帮助这个家庭时,这名男子详细说。“在我自己年轻的时候,我曾经和那个小婴儿处于同样的处境。这个小女孩让我想起了我自己的妹妹。是她救了我的命。我对她的天真印象深刻,我决心帮助家人摆脱麻烦。不管她到底有多少钱。重要的是她的信仰,一种对奇迹存在的信仰。”

第13篇 拍照
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。
I am a photographer running a studio in the inner city. We are well known for our children's portraits (肖像),and we range from high-end portraits for modelling jobs to fun sibling photos and birth announcements. We do a bit of everything; as such, we are extremely busy, and it states on our website that we do not accept walk-ins. We are usually booked up six months in advance. One day, ten minutes before closing, a mum walked in with a young girl around six or seven behind her. I internally sighed.
The mother said:"Hello. I know you're closing soon, but I have a special favour to ask.”
At that point the little girl peeked around her mother's legs and I was lost for words. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she was skinny with huge dark circles under her eyes. From what I could tell, she had no hair, and a tube taped to her cheek that fed into her nose. It was immediately clear this kid was very, very sick.
The mother said again, nearly teary. " My daughter saw one of your photos taped to the wall at the hospital. She really loves unicorns (独角兽)and the photo had a girl photoshopped onto a horse. I know you're booked up, and it's months before the next appointment, but…”
At that point she actually started crying. I realised that our next available appointment was probably way too far away for this particular kid. The little girl squeezed her mother's hand. I am a very big guy with a beard, but I'm not ashamed to say I needed a minute before I spoke.
I smiled and said with the softest voice I had ever had : ” Ahh, that's just for regular customers I I've been waiting all day to take a photo of someone as beautiful as you! What's your name, sweetheart?"

【答案】I locked the front door and invited them to the changing room. I spent the next three hours taking photos of this kid in every princess costume I have in my closet. She was the sweetest, most well-behaved kid I had ever worked with. Once we were done, she lay on the couch in my office and fell asleep while I loaded up the photos for her mum to see and choose the ones she liked best.
我锁上了前门,邀请他们去更衣室。在接下来的三个小时里,我给这个穿着我衣橱里所有公主衣服的孩子拍照。她是和我共事过的最可爱、最乖的孩子。我们完成后,她躺在我办公室的沙发上睡着了,我把照片装起来给她妈妈看并选择她最喜欢的。
The other thanked me over and over and came up front, holding out her credit card. I refused to accept it, say: “I feel very honored to take a photo of such a lovely angel. I’m not taking money for this, but I hope you can allow me to put one of her photos in our showcase, because she has the most beautiful and warmest smile. Many years later that photo of a sick little girl on a giant pink unicorn is still in a frame in my shop, always reminding me to show kindness to those who really need it.

Long, long ago, in a little village lived a humble(谦虚的) man named Ashwin. He went about making ends meet by pulling a rickshaw(人力 车) and transporting passengers from one destination to another. Times were hard and he had to take the responsibility for supporting his family.
One day, while returning from work, a man who looked like a wealthy person coming from the city stopped his rickshaw. He quickly told Ashwin the place he wanted to visit. His car had broken down and he desperately needed to get to the mentioned address urgently. After an uneventful ride, they reached the destination, and the passenger paid the fare.
Ashwin, on returning home, found to his surprise that his passenger just then had dropped a small bag in his rickshaw. On opening it, he found 50 gold coins in it. He showed it to his family who couldn’t believe their luck. His wife said with joy, “Thank goodness. Now we find a solution to our problems.”
That night, Ashwin couldn’t sleep. His conscience(良心) kept troubling him. At the crack of dawn, he woke his wife up. He said, “Lalita, I think it’s wrong to keep someone else’s gold coins. I am going to search for the man and hand over the coins to him.” Lalita was shocked and cried, but Ashwin stuck to his word. He tried hard to find the man, but nothing seemed to work.
Eventually when he was about to give up, he saw that wealthy passenger. Ashwin ran to him and thrust(塞) the bag in his hand, “Sir, you left this bag in my rickshaw. I have been looking for you since then and I am so relieved to find you. Please take this,” he said.

第15篇 披萨店员工救人
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。
When the employees at the Domino’s pizza place in Salem, Oregon, hadn’t received any order from Kirk Alexander for more than 2 weeks, they knew something wasn’t right. Kirk was a loyal customer and the staff all knew him. So it was natural that they got worried when they had no news about him. Their concern saved his life.
Sarah Fuller, the general manager at the Domino’s branch, said that Kirk, who was 48 years old, had been a loyal customer since 2009. “He orders every day, or every other day,” Sarah said.
Normally, his order came up on the screen because he ordered online. So we saw it came across the screen and we were thinking, “Oh, Kirk’s order.” After a few days without a single order, Sarah and the staff started to worry.
A few Domino’s drivers had mentioned that they hadn’t seen his order come across their screen in a while. Sarah checked the system and saw that no order had come in 11 days. So they decided to investigate.
Sarah decided to send Tracy Hamblen, a deliver driver, to Kirk’s place. When he got there, he immediately knew something was wrong. While the lights and TV were on, Kirk did not come to the door. Additionally, his phone went directly to voicemail. So Tracy immediately called 911.

【答案】Para1: When the police arrived at the place, they heard a cry for help from the inside of the house. Inside, they found Kirk, who was in need of immediate medical help. Due to the quick actions of Tracy, Kirk is in stable condition at the Salem Hospital. The Domino’s employees received a lot of praise online for their unbelievable thoughtfulness. But they said that it was just part of their job and they were just doing their job.
当警察到达那个地方时,他们听到了来自房子里的呼救声。在里面,他们发现了需要立即得到医疗帮助的柯克。由于特蕾西的快速行动,柯克在塞勒姆医院的情况很稳定。多米美牌的员工难以置信的体贴在网上受到了很多赞扬。但他们说,这只是他们工作的一部分,他们只是在做自己的工作。
Para2: A few days later, Kirk was released from the hospital. He came to the Domino’s personally with some homemade cookies to say thank--you to Sarah and the Domino’s staff. The Domino’s mentioned that “Caring for customers should not be taken at face value. We should remember that the customers determine the success of our company and in turn we can also have an impact on their lives, small or big.” Kirk’s story has made this pizza shop even more popular in the community, and it has received more orders ever since.
几天后,柯克出院了。他亲自带着一些自制的饼干来到多米诺餐厅,对莎拉和多米诺餐厅的工作人员说谢谢。达美乐牌提到,“照顾客户不应该有面子”。我们应该记住,客户决定了我们公司的成功,反过来我们也可以对他们的生活产生影响。柯克的故事让这家披萨店在社区中更受欢迎,从那时起它收到了更多的订单。

What started as a lonely graduation day for a teen in Alabama has turned into a priceless opportunity to bond with his teacher. Now, that teacher is working to get that student a car that will get him started in his adult life.
On Thursday, Bessemer City High School held its annual graduation ceremony. Dom Moore was one of the teachers involved in coordinating the event. After the ceremony ended, Dom was cleaning up. Nearly everybody had left to celebrate with friends and family, but one young man was still sitting there by himself. “I knew his moods and I knew he wasn't himself,” Dom said. Not knowing what to say at first, the teacher told him, "I expect big things from you and it's going to be OK.”
Dom assumed that someone would show up eventually to give the graduate a ride home. But nobody did. When Dom offered to drive him, the two had no idea that this was to be more than just a ride home. The teacher decided to take him out to eat-at any restaurant of his choice. They ended up at the Cheesecake Factory, and enjoyed a hearty meal and dessert to celebrate the graduate's achievement.
At first, the two were fighting back tears. But before long, they were having a great time together. Dom never asked why the boy's family did not attend the ceremony. What was important to him was that the young man felt appreciated for what he had accomplished. Later that evening, Dom took to Facebook to share a photo and some thoughts on the event. He says that he doesn't normally post about these situations, as they are all too common in his profession, but that something inside urged him to share this experience.

【答案】Actually, Dom wanted to help the young man. Dom shared his wish to raise money for the young man in the post. He hoped someone may be a blessing to this young man. Luckily, before long, generous people, many of whom were strangers, sent more than $5, 000 as donations. Dom took him to open a bank account with the money. Dom wanted to help him buy a car, which can make his travel more convenient. He also taught the man to save up to attend college one day.

Dom thinks what these people did set an example to us. Dom felt amazed that so many people would help the teen. He has undoubtedly raised much money beyond his imagination. Dom thinks the story will remind us of what is truly important and give hope to those who are struggling. We usually take life for granted, but the story shows us that there is always beauty in our heart. Even though we have difficulties, at this moment it shows that mankind is good.

第17篇 陌生人帮我修车
3.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。
I am a frequent interstate traveler. I was born in Ontario, Canada and thus all my family except my husband and children live there. So three times a year I make a trip north from Georgia to visit. I often travel by myself as my children are all grown and my husband is working.
Two years ago I went up in the spring and brought one of my sisters south for a month to take away the pains of a long winter. This year I did the same. It is interesting that many of my friends have said "Aren't you scared?" or "What if you break down?”. I always respond that I have a lot of faith in the Lord and in myself. My husband is a mechanic and each year gives my 230,000+ miles car a good checkup. He will come for me if I need help.
Here is how my miracle happened on Interstate 85 North in South Carolina. Heading north to take my sweet sister of 63 home to Canada, we were chatting away and I was driving 70 miles per hour in the third lane over. Yes, the fastest lane. All of a sudden, I started to lose power. I said anxiously I was losing power and got over to the next and then the right lane, I was driving at about 40 miles per hour when I got to the first exit. I finally arrived at a Citgo station and pulled off the road.
I immediately called my husband and he didn't answer. I was thinking he never answered his phone. I called 2 more times saying please answer the phone to myself. I was getting pretty upset thinking what I should do. I got out of the car and looked under it and smelled gas. Then* I checked the oil and water. Luckily, both were good! My sister went into the gas station and said to the clerk if he knew anyone who could help us and then said pray for us as she made her way to the rest room.

3.答案:
I was standing by my car when a man with broken English suddenly appeared. He said if he could he would help me. I said I thought there was a gas leak because I smelled it. He got under the car, and 2 minutes later, he slid out and said it was all fixed. He asked me to start it up and see if it worked well. Actually, at first, I was a little skeptical. But I did as he said. To my delight and relief, my car did indeed roar to life and had power.
我站在旁边,一个英语不好的人突然出现了。他说如果他能做到的话,他会帮助我的。我说我以为有煤气泄漏,因为我闻到了。他钻进了车下面,两分钟后,他滑了出来,说一切都修好了。他让我启动它,看看它是否有效。事实上,一开始,我有点怀疑。但我还是照他说的那样做了。令我高兴和欣慰的是,我的车确实轰鸣着生活,而且有动力。
I thanked my rescuer and asked him if I could pay him for his help. He shook his head instantly and politely refused my offer. I thanked the nice man again and gave him a big hug. My heart was full and said he was a blessing in my life. His face lit up and had a beautiful smile. My sister and I were both teary eyed and extremely grateful. There are so many stories of rudeness and unkindness to others but I have been blessed many times by kind and helpful people.
我感谢了我的救援者,并问他是否能付给他的帮助。他立刻摇了摇头,礼貌地拒绝了我的提议。我再次感谢了那个好人,并给了他一个大大的拥抱。我的心充满了活力,他说他是我生命中的一种祝福。他的脸亮了起来,露出了美丽的微笑。我姐姐和我都很流泪,非常感激。有很多关于对别人粗鲁和不友善的故事,但我很多次得到善良和帮助的人的祝福。
第18篇 特殊的驾车旅行
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was somewhere between spring and summer, and my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then, I was 13 years old, and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car.
Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn't the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It'll just be a
minute,” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared, empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the
receptionist.” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flow-
ers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn't gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave
your name?” To this she answered instantly,“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will
appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank you for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom's deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.

Paragraph 1:
We were worrying about what could be done.
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.
答案
[写作提示]
本文讲述的是作者和母亲的一次普通但又特殊的驾车旅行。当时,13岁的作者处于青春叛逆
期,跟母亲关系紧张,但这一次驾车旅行改变了作者对母亲的态度,母亲不求回报的送花行为让
作者明白了“好人有好报”的道理,并且对母亲有了更深的理解。
根据第一段的段首句,此段应该是为了修车他们是如何寻求帮助的。但是为了和文章更好地
呼应,应该从母亲的送花行为为他们带来了帮助入手。
根据第二段的段首句,本段应着重叙述从修完车之后,作者他们重新上路的事情。根据看到花
店的信息,本段应该重新回到买花的情节。
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time,
Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far
we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact thegarage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about
how great that day was. It amazed me what random actions of kindness could mean to the people
who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
我们一直在担心能做些什么。但在等了相当长的一段时间后,妈妈和我决定走回路上的疗养院和寻求帮助。天知道我们开了多远了!当我们到达时,接待员很惊讶,但还是热情地帮助我们联系了车库。在那里,收到鲜花的老人们很兴奋地见到我们,谈论着那天有多伟大。让我惊讶的是,随机的善意对接受善意的人意味着什么。正当我们愉快地笑着说话的时候,车库里修理了我们的车。
Paragraph 2:
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop,
where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
当我们开车走时,路上看见了一家花店。我飞快地走进花店,一束盛开的红色花朵引起了我的注意。目睹了善良的影响后,我决定送给妈妈。很快,天上的气味再次充满了汽车。妈妈试图掩饰她的兴奋,但闪闪发光的眼泪没有了。在这次旅行中,我发现,尽管我偶尔会对她生气,但我还是为她感到骄傲。这是我生命中的一次旅行之旅。

第19篇 归还雨伞
良好的人际关系和社会交往:(社会温情篇:助人亦助己)(衡水中学高三上学期二调)
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。
I was a single mother in my 30s who lived down and out with my daughter Peggy in a small apartment, struggling hard to make our needs meet.
One day, I headed to the downtown for an interview, I sat down in the streetcar, and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved.
On impulse( 冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar in the heavy rain and thankfully opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name. I found it immediately and called it, waiting patiently, and then a lady answered.
"Yes,"she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. "It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.”
So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to small house. She took the umbrella, with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. Her happiness at retrieving( 找回) this special possession was such that to have accepted her reward would have spoiled something, so I refused her offer and left.
The following months were hard. I can only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. I had prayed steadily for weeks, and there had been no answer but this coldness and darkness.
The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me, I knew, no gifts,no remembrance whatsoever.
Thinking of this, I couldn't control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, screaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen overwhelmed by misery.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy rushed to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. Then I heard a man talking heartily to her and went to the door. He was a delivery man with his arms full of parcels. “This is a mistake”, I said, but he read the name on the parcels and they were for me. When he had gone, I didn't know what to do. Later, Peggy and I sat on the floor, looking at each other. What a surprise! I searched for the name of the sender.
突然,门铃响了,佩吉冲去接,说一定是圣诞老人。然后我听到一个男人热情地对她说话,便走到门口。他是一个送货工,手里装满了包裹。“这是个错误,”我说,但他读了包裹上的名字,它们是给我的。他走了以后,我就不知道该怎么办了。后来,我把佩吉和我坐在地板上,互相看着。多么大的惊喜啊!我搜索了发件人的名字。
Suddenly, a note attached to one package caught my eyes. I picked up the note, which read“Thanks for your returning of the umbrella. Merry Christmas!”It was sent by the lady. Holding the note tightly, I was on the verge of tears, with a stream of warmth spreading across my body. On the cold Christmas, I forgot I had no money for the rent and only fifteen dollars in my pocket. We just sat in our small apartment unwrapping the gifts one by one in happiness. A sweet peace flooded into me like a blessing, which made me hopeful again.
突然,一个包裹上的一张便条引起了我的注意。我拿起纸条,上面写着“谢谢你归还雨伞。”圣诞快乐!这是那位女士寄来的。我紧紧地握着纸条,快要哭了,一股温暖响彻我的全身。在寒冷的圣诞节里,我忘记了我没有钱付房租,口袋里只有15美元。我们只是坐在小公寓里,一个接一个地打开礼物。一种甜蜜的和平像一种祝福一样涌入我的心中,这让我再次充满了希望。
第20篇 善意的力量
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。
My senior year of high school was an extremely busy one. If I wasn't studying and worrying about my grades, I was taking part in multiple extra-curricular activities or attempting to make preparations for college.
Finally, as my senior year began to wind down, I got a part-time job at the local cafe.I had figured that the job would be easy and, for the most part, stress-free. I pictured myself pouring excellent coffee, making delicious cakes and becoming close friends with the regular customers.
Who I hadn't counted on were the people with great orders that chose to use the drive-through window, or the women who felt that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men that wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until it reached a certain level of perfection.There were moments when I was annoyed with the human race as a whole, simply because I couldn't seem to please anyone. Nevertheless, I kept at it.
One miserable rainy day, I spent my afternoon handing people their orders and waiting as they slowly counted their pennies. I tried to smile as the customers complained about the rain, but it was difficult to smile as they sat in their temperature-controlled cars with the windows rolled up while I dealt with huge droplets of water hanging from my visor(遮阳帽舌). On top of that, no one was tipping. Every time I looked into my nearly empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.
Around four o'clock, one of my regular customers named Hank came in looking depressed and defeated. My co-worker and I asked what the problem was and if we could help, but he wouldn't reveal any details. He just said he felt like crawling into bed, pulling the sheets up over his head and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.
【参考答案】
Before Hank left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He looked at me
questioningly because he hadn't ordered anything but the coffee.He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favorite type of cake. "It's on me. "I told him. “ Have a nice day !” He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.
在汉克离开之前,我递给了他一个包和他的冰咖啡。他一直看着我。毫有疑问,因为他除了咖啡之外什么也没点。他打开包,看到我给了他他最喜欢的蛋糕。“这就在我身上。“我告诉了他。“祝今天愉快!”他笑着谢了我,然后转身回到雨中。
Around seven o'clock the next evening, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of
Ordering anything, he handed me a bunch of flowers. He said not too many people took the time to care about others, and he was glad that there were still people like me in the world. I was very touched and almost forgot what had happened on the previous day. I happily thanked him. As the day passed, I had plenty of complaining customers, but any time I felt depressed, I thought of Hank and his kindness. I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and politely ask, “How can I help you?”
第二天晚上七点钟左右,汉克开车走到窗前。而不是他点了任何东西,就递给我一束花。他说,没有太多的人花时间去照顾别人,他很高兴在这个世界上还有像我这样的人。我很感动,几乎忘记了前一天发生的事情。我很高兴地感谢了他。随着一天的过去,我有很多顾客在抱怨,但每当我感到沮丧时,我就会想到汉克和他的善良。我会微笑着,抬起头,清清喉咙,礼貌地问:“我怎么帮你呢?”
