At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations（捐赠） saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already enlarged the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation, with some of the mothers and babies standing around who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging（列入目录） his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4. What do we know about James Harrison
A. He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B. He is to retire as a blood donor.
C. He is a very grateful blood donor.
D. He donates blood nearly every day.
5. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4
A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
6. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison
A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Special Man with a Rare Blood Type
B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D. The Man with the Golden Arms
C
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
9. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Only a few vloggers can be famous and wealthy.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain dreams.
11. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Combine jobs with hobbies.
D
Global warming does more than just kill plant species — it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle — Wittenberg(MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子) process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.
Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller ... to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.(营养的)
There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants feel the changes in temperature ...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein (蛋白质) PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.
To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress seedlings (拟南芥幼苗). Normally, its seedlings form short stems（茎）at 20℃. These stems become much longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone (荷尔蒙) that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein.
The findings may help to develop plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.
12. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB perform their research
A. To study the bad effects of global warming.
B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.
C. To pay attention to how global warming influences plant growth.
D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Low temperatures have little effect on plants.
B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.
C. Plants are very sensitive to change in soil.
D. High temperatures reduce crop production.
14. What do we know about PIF4
A. It mainly lies in thale cress seedlings.
B. It works differently at different temperatures.
C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.
D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.
15. Who will probably benefit most from the findings
A. Farmers B. Teachers. C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists.

注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；2、开头已给出。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought . He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign“100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.

I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already enlarged the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation, with some of the mothers and babies standing around who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging（列入目录） his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述的是Harrison因别人的献血挽救了自己的生命，因此决定18岁以后自己也参与献血，接下来的60年里，他献血近1200次。哈里森自然产生RH阴性血，其中含有RH阳性抗体。拯救了数百万婴儿。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations（捐赠） saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.”（James Harrison在14岁时做了一次胸部大手术，手术需要血液，献血挽救了他的生命，他决定一旦年满18岁，就开始尽可能定期献血）由此可以推知James Harrison是个非常感恩的献血者。选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“They had already enlarged the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation, with some of the mothers and babies standing around who his blood helped save.”（他们已经放宽了他献血的年龄限制，现在为了保护他的健康，他们决定停止他的献血。他做了最后一次捐献，帮助挽救了一些母亲和婴儿）可知，为了保护Harrison的健康，他们停止了他的献血，他最后一次捐赠的血液帮助挽救了一些母亲和婴儿，由此可以推知，作者写第四段的目的是去描写Harrison的捐赠生涯是如何结束的，选项B与文意相符，故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game.”（但是Harrison的退役并不意味着他完全退出了这场“比赛”）可以推知，Harrison继续为RH项目做出贡献，选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段的主要内容和第三段中的“Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.”（从那以后Harrison几乎每周都要捐献500到800毫升的血液。他的右臂捐献了1162次，左臂捐献了10次。 ）可知，本文主要讲述的是Harrison因别人献血挽救了自己的生命，18岁以后的60年里，他献血近1200次，他的右臂捐献了1162次，左臂捐献了10次，挽救了数百万婴儿，故“那个拥有金色手臂的人”能作为本文的标题，选项D与文意相符，故选D。
C
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger” (视频博主). The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
9. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.
B. There is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
10. What can we infer from Paragraph 5
A. Only a few vloggers can be famous and wealthy.
B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain dreams.
11. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Combine jobs with hobbies.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变进行了分析和介绍。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“But today, things stand differently.(但是现在，事情不同了)”和第三段第一句“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media.(这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体的结果)”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择。全文围绕这个主题展开。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.(他们使接触世界上的观众容易许多，不用非要用传统的方式进入表演行业)”可知，they是指the Internet and social media(网络和社交媒体)。由此可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络使进入表演行业更加方便。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line.(对于每一个成功者来说，都有另外数百个人从来没有离开过起跑线)”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率只有数百分之一。由此可知，只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.(尽管成为视频博主很流行，但是一些年轻人选择那些不一定能给他们带来名声，但是能让他们利用网络来分享他们的爱好的职业)”和“for example”可知，David就是选择将职业和爱好相结合的职业的例子。故选D。

Global warming does more than just kill plant species — it also changes the way plants grow. Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle — Wittenberg(MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子) process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.
Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller ... to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.(营养的)
There’s still lots to learn about plant reactions to temperatures. “We are just starting to understand how plants feel the changes in temperature ...,” Quint says. Earlier studies have shown that the protein (蛋白质) PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.
To understand it, they studied the growth of thale cress seedlings (拟南芥幼苗). Normally, its seedlings form short stems（茎）at 20℃. These stems become much longer at 28℃. They discovered a hormone (荷尔蒙) that activates the PIF4 at high temperatures, thus producing the protein.
The findings may help to develop plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.
12. Why did the researchers at MLU and IPB perform their research
A. To study the bad effects of global warming.
B. To find out how plants help reduce global warming.
C. To pay attention to how global warming influences plant growth.
D. To understand the ways that plants cause global warming.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A. Low temperatures have little effect on plants.
B. Plants prefer dry weather to rainy weather.
C. Plants are very sensitive to change in soil.
D. High temperatures reduce crop production.
14. What do we know about PIF4
A. It mainly lies in thale cress seedlings.
B. It works differently at different temperatures.
C. It is a kind of gene that controls plant growth.
D. It is a plant hormone that works at high temperatures.
15. Who will probably benefit most from the findings
A. Farmers B. Teachers. C. Researchers. D. Environmentalists.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述全球变暖不仅仅杀死了植物物种，它还改变了植物的生长方式，有的研究发现，全球变暖导致农作物产量减少，且营养含量降低。因此研究人员研究植物的生长过程，并发现在更高的温度下，PIF4激活促进生长的基因，植物就会长高。这一发现可能有助于培育即使在高温下也能保持稳定的植物，并生产出许多农作物。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Researchers at Martin Luther University Halle — Wittenberg(MLU) joined forces with the Leibniz Institute for Plant Biochemistry(IPB) to discover the molecular (分子) process of plant growth. In Current Biology, a scientific journal, they presented their findings on high-temperature plant growth. This could lead to developing plants that can survive global warming.”（哈雷-维滕贝格马丁路德大学(MLU)的研究人员与莱布尼茨植物生物化学研究所(IPB)合作，发现了植物生长的分子过程。在科学杂志《当代生物学》上，他们展示了他们关于高温植物生长的发现。这可能会导致培育出能够在全球变暖中生存的植物 ）可知，他们做此研究就是为了观察全球变暖怎样影响植物生长的，选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Plants react to even small temperature changes, but they are unable to move to new locations. “When temperatures rise, plants grow taller ... to cool themselves off. Their stems become taller, and their leaves become narrower and grow farther apart. Yet, this makes the plant more unstable overall,” explains Professor Marcel Quint, an agricultural scientist at MLU. Unstable plants bend faster in the rain and produce less food that’s also less nutritious.”（植物即使对很小的温度变化也有反应，但是它们不能迁移到新的地方。“温度升高时，植物会长得更高 ……它们的茎变得更高，叶子变得更窄，离得更远。然而，这使得植物整体上更加不稳定。” MLU的农业科学家马塞尔·昆特教授解释说。不稳定的植物在雨水中弯曲得更快，产出的食物也更少，营养也更少 ）可知，温度升高会影响植物的产量，选项D与文意相符，故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Earlier studies have shown that the protein (蛋白质) PIF4 directly controls plant growth and is also dependent on temperature. When it’s cold, PIF4 is less active, meaning the plant doesn’t grow. At higher temperatures, PIF4 activates growth-promoting genes, and the plant grows taller. This is new information, says Quint.”（早期研究表明，PIF4蛋白直接控制植物生长，也依赖于温度。当天气寒冷时，PIF4就不那么活跃，这意味着植物无法生长。在较高的温度下，PIF4激活生长促进基因，植物长高。Quint说，这是新的信息 ）可推断，PIF4在不同温度下所起的作用是不同的，选项B与文意相符，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The findings may help to develop plants that remain stable even at high temperatures and produce many crops.”（这些发现可能有助于培育出即使在高温下也能保持稳定的植物，并生产出多种作物）可推断，这些发现对农民是有益处的，选项A与文意相符，故选A。

【答案】Dear Michael，
How are you？These days，I am planning to travel abroad during the vacation. I think travelling abroad is very meaningful. First，travelling abroad can broaden my horizons. When I visit a foreign country，I can learn more about the customs and history of the country. At the same time， I can make lots of friends. Besides， communicating with the local people will give me the chance to learn a foreign language. The most important thing is that I can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Michael， please come to China when you are free. I do hope you can witness the great changes in China.
Yours truly，
Li Hua

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使这构成一篇完整的短文。
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；2、开头已给出。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought . He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master in spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”.
Staring at the red sign“100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Slowly, Peter raise his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 percent on the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’. Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test. “Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2: Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us.” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，主人公Peter认真准备了老师要进行的单词拼写测试，并如愿以偿地获得老师的奖励，但是，后来核实自己的试卷时，却发现自己犯了一个错误。于是，在说出事实与退还奖品之间，Peter最终选择了诚实。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：慢慢地，Peter举起了手……，所以接下来应该写，Peter举起手来后，如何向老师说明自己的错误，以及老师是怎样回应他；第二段开头是：Peter向周围看了看，他发现许多同学在向他微笑，所以本段应该写，老师在同学们面前表扬Peter的诚实行为，并号召同学们向他学习。在结尾，为呼应上文妈妈教给自己的道理，应该写Peter回家向妈妈展示自己的奖品。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：look at sb. with surprise/，set a good example for sb.，expressed his thanks to，cannot wait to do等高级词汇；Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. as引导的伴随状语从句。Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us.because引导的原因状语从句等高级句式。
