第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Robotic scientists say that one-year-old human babies have better movement skills than robots do. Let's take a look at some tasks that are easy for you but tough for robots.
Pick things up
Picking things up is not easy. If we drop our pencil on the floor, our brains work hard. First, we must find the pencil and look at its distance. Then we move our hands to it. A robot cannot always move its "hand" to the right place. Calculating the distance is not easy. Then, when we touch the pencil, it might roll a little bit. Robots cannot easily understand this either. So, if you drop a pencil on the floor, a robot will probably roll it around the room.
Get around spaces
If someone drops you in a building you've never been to, you might feel a bit lost. But you can look around, find a door and get out quickly. You will not get stuck in a corner. But a robot will look everywhere for a door, even on ceilings and floors. This is because it's hard for them to understand spaces.
Understand the world made by people
"Common sense" is what we don't need to think or talk about. Because of common sense, we pick up a coffee cup by its handle. We feel whether it has coffee inside, and whether it is hot.
But robots may turn the cup upside down or hold the hot part of the cup, damaging itself. Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules. But even huge databases don't help much. There are just too many rules—and too many exceptions. Maybe they just need more time to learn.
1. Why is it difficult for a robot to pick things up
A. It cannot locate where the thing is. B. Its hands cannot move far enough
C. It likes to roll things around the room D. It has difficulty working out the exact distance.
2. What do robots tend to do when they are trapped in a corner
A Ask for help. B. Go to a door and get out. C. Look for doors aimlessly. D. Wait for others to help.
3. What is the author's purpose in writing the article
A. To show robots have their own limitations. B. To describe how robots help improve our lives.
C. To explain the importance of the database to robots D. To introduce in what areas robots will be applied.
B
K2 is nicknamed "savage mountain". You hear tragic stories: For every four people who reach the summit, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best ski mountaineers thought it impossible.
But that changed after a training expedition to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2's massive face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn't feel the fear anymore. I began preparations. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important element of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.
At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no emotions or doubts — I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. In total, it took about three days to reach the summit. For many climbers, getting to the peak of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began.
The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It's pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had attempted it before, so it was a relief to cross it.
In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I eventually skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, emotionally and physically exhausted. I'm so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.
4. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To introduce the origin of K2's nickname. B. To show that K2 is very hard to be conquered.
C. To explain why the author wanted to ski down K2. D. To describe the author's first impression of K2.
5. What was the most important factor in challenging K2 according to the author
A. Advanced equipment. B. Skilled safety guards.
C. An overall knowledge of K2. D. A positive attitude without fear.
6. Which word best describes the author
A Courageous. B. Creative. C. Cautious. D. Curious.
7. What did the author learn from his experience
A. One should always dream big. B. Support is needed to realize dreams.
C. It takes patience and effort to succeed. D. We should always have self-confidence.
C
With low temperatures and a lack of food, winter is a bad season for animals. Many animals enter hibernation to get through it. Hibernation is when an animal goes into a state of extended inactivity. This cools the creature's body and slows its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.
But why don't humans hibernate Human hibernation doesn't exist for many reasons. Our body is not designed for hibernation. For example, waste management is a huge challenge for human hibernation. Animals that hibernate are able to essentially preserve nutrients during hibernation through a process of reabsorption. Unfortunately, humans can't do this. In addition, cold temperatures can limit the immune system, making people more likely to get infections, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
In fact, humans don't need to sleep through winter. We have discovered fire, clothes, shelter hunting and agriculture, all of which are much more effective ways of surviving the cold.
Could humans hibernate in the future For long-distance space travel, it's likely. A journey to Mars would take around months using current technology. If we hope to visit another star system, even if we could travel at the speed of light, the journey would take years. Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and conserve vital resources, according to University of Oxford in the UK.
NASA is treating this question seriously. Beginning in 2014, the agency funded research on long-term hibernation as a way to facilitate long-term space travel, according to The Atlantic magazine.
8. What are animals like when they enter hibernation
A. Their heartbeat slows down. B. Their breathing rate disappears.
C. Their organs function as normal. D. Their body temperature increases.
9. Humans can't hibernate partly because________.
A. we can't guarantee necessary nutrition
B. long-term sleep will damage our immune system
C. cold temperatures damage our waste management
D. our immune system won't work at low temperatures
10. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. Different opinions on humans' hibernation. B. A new technology for humans to hibernate.
C. New research on hibernation in space travel. D. The significance of studying human hibernation.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A A text book. B. A science magazine. C. An art review. D. A biography
D
"I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzbll," my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. "Oh, what is Scuzball's real name " I asked. "I have no idea," he said. "Where is he from " I continued. He responded, "I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn't even matter because Scuzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot."
"Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence " "It doesn't matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues." My son doesn't mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our children.
Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices for each other.
Presence in friendship requires "being with" and "doing for". Perhaps the most defining feature of deep friendship is "doing for", as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I'm sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online "friends" would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they'd just order soup online.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital lie produces false friendships.
12. What did the author start the text with
A. A motto. B. A game C. A question. D. A conversation.
13. What does the author mainly explain in paragraph 3
A. Selfish friendship. B. Selfless sacrifices in life
C. The meaning of deep friendship. D. The formation of shallow friendship
14. What does the author want to tell his students in paragraph 4
A. Strong bonds are formed easily B. Ordering food online is convenient
C. Robots will have our back in trouble. D. Virtual friends won't make real sacrifices.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Digitalized friendship B. The benefits of digital life.
C. Face-to-face communication D. The sacrifices of online friends.

Comfort foods are typically energy-dense high-fat, and sweet, such as chocolate, ice cream and French fries. They provide pleasure or temporarily make us feel better. ____16____ .
Self-medication.
There seems to be a consistent connection between negative emotions and unhealthy foods, a phenomenon called emotional eating. In a bad mood, people are drawn to unhealthy foods（sugary and fatty）as a coping approach. ____17____ However, one study found that although comfort foods provide some relief from negative moods, so do other foods or even eating no food at all.
The need to belong.

Special occasion.
____19____ . The excuse reflects a dilemma. From a short-term perspective, the indulgence（纵情享受）is the best choice, but from a long-term perspective, healthy eating is the best choice. The ideal solution is to somehow do both. ____20____ . If the situation can be framed as the "last time", then the dilemma disappears, since the person can say to himself that a new and better life will begin tomorrow.
A. This is impossible, except in one situation
B. This is because we feel comforted when we are full
C. However, as it is ideal, it's impossible for most people
D. Here are some factors that can contribute to comfort eating
E. In contrast, people in a positive mood tend to choose healthy foods

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头话续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid a tutor(家庭教师)forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math. It ended up raising my marks from 50 to 55.
I had to admit it was mainly my fault. Maybe I should have concentrated on my math from the beginning. But studying math was a painful and tough thing. My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests, “How’s your math this time？” Gradually I became extremely afraid of math. My fear of math got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage me,“I’m glad to do what I can to help you.” But I couldn’t tell her the real reason why I didn’t ask for help—I didn’t want to be considered stupid. Every question I had was, in my opinion at that time, something that the whole class had understood but me. So I ended up not caring about anything related to math, without working hard on math at all. But in my bottom of my heart, there was still a worry that I would not pass the math exam or even fail to be admitted to high school .
Finally, the day came when my classmates and I took the final test that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school. Days after the exam, on a rainy summer morning, Ms. Robbins called me to her office.
注意：续写词数为 150 左右。
Paragraph 1：
With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office.
Paragraph 2：
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent.2021-2022学年度第一学期期末考试

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hibernation is when an animal goes into a state of extended inactivity. This cools the creature's body and slows its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.(冬眠是指动物进入一种长期不活动的状态。这可以使它的身体降温，并使心跳减慢到每分钟几次，每次可以持续几个月)”可知，动物进入冬眠时心跳变慢了。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Animals that hibernate are able to essentially preserve nutrients during hibernation through a process of reabsorption. Unfortunately, humans can't do this.(冬眠的动物能够在冬眠期间通过一个重新吸收的过程来保存营养物质。不幸的是，人类无法做到这一点)”可知，人类不能冬眠的部分原因是我们不能保证必要的营养。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Could humans hibernate in the future For long-distance space travel, it's likely. A journey to Mars would take around months using current technology. If we hope to visit another star system, even if we could travel at the speed of light, the journey would take years. Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and conserve vital resources, according to University of Oxford in the UK.(未来人类会冬眠吗？对于长途太空旅行来说，这是可能的。使用目前的技术，到火星旅行大约需要几个月的时间。如果我们希望访问另一个恒星系统，即使我们可以以光速旅行，这一旅程也需要数年时间。根据英国牛津大学的说法，能够冬眠将使宇航员在这样的距离中不那么无聊，并保存重要的资源)”以及最后一段“NASA is treating this question seriously. Beginning in 2014, the agency funded research on long-term hibernation as a way to facilitate long-term space travel, according to The Atlantic magazine.( NASA正在认真对待这个问题。 据《大西洋月刊》报道，从2014年开始，该机构资助了长期冬眠的研究，以促进长期太空旅行)”可知，最后两段主要讲的是研究人类冬眠的意义。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But why don't humans hibernate Human hibernation doesn't exist for many reasons. Our body is not designed for hibernation.(但是为什么人类不冬眠呢？人类冬眠是不存在的，原因有很多。我们的身体不是为冬眠而设计的)”结合文章主要说明了为什么人类无法像动物一样冬眠的原因以及未来人类是否能够冬眠的问题。可推知，文章可能选自科学杂志。故选B。

"I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzbll," my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. "Oh, what is Scuzball's real name " I asked. "I have no idea," he said. "Where is he from " I continued. He responded, "I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn't even matter because Scuzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot."
"Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence " "It doesn't matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues." My son doesn't mind playing with a person or a robot, which is typical of gamers these days. I wonder whether the face-to-face experience of friendship that I grew up with will be lost by our children.
Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices for each other.
Presence in friendship requires "being with" and "doing for". Perhaps the most defining feature of deep friendship is "doing for", as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I'm sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online "friends" would bother to do the hard work of friendship. When I asked my students whether they had people in their lives who would bring them soup when they were sick, they laughed at my Stone Age question and said they'd just order soup online.
Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital lie produces false friendships.

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“"I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm playing a game with a friend, a guy named Scuzbll," my 15-year-old son shouted from his room. "Oh, what is Scuzball's real name " I asked. "I have no idea," he said. "Where is he from " I continued. He responded, "I think somewhere in Canada. Oh, wait, it doesn't even matter because Scuzball just left the game and he has been replaced with a robot."(“我几分钟就到。”我正在和一个叫Scuzbll的朋友玩游戏，”我15岁的儿子从他的房间里喊道。“哦，斯库兹鲍尔的真名是什么？”我问，“我不知道，”他说。“他是哪里人？”我接着说到。他回答说：“我想在加拿大的某个地方。哦，等等，这都不重要了，因为Scuzball刚刚离开比赛，他已经被一个机器人取代了。”)”以及第二段“"Your friend is replaced by artificial intelligence " "It doesn't matter, Dad. It happens all the time! The game continues."(“你的朋友被人工智能取代了 ”“没关系，爸爸。这种事经常发生！游戏还在继续。”)”可知，作者通过呈现他和儿子的对话来引出文章的话题。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Aristotle, a great thinker and educator, has pointed out that shallow friendship is easily formed but also easily abandoned because such bonds are fragile. Deep friendship, by contrast, is when you care for your friend for his sake, not for any benefit you can get. This is selfless friendship. You can have only a couple of these friends because they require lots of time and effort. You must make sacrifices for each other. (伟大的思想家、教育家亚里士多德曾指出，肤浅的友谊很容易形成，也很容易放弃，因为这种联系是脆弱的。相比之下，深厚的友谊是你为了朋友而关心他，而不是为了你能得到的任何好处。这就是无私的友谊。你只能有几个这样的朋友，因为他们需要大量的时间和精力。你们必须为彼此做出牺牲)”可知，第三段主要解释了深厚友谊的含义。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Presence in friendship requires "being with" and "doing for". Perhaps the most defining feature of deep friendship is "doing for", as my friend has my back in trouble or brings me soup when I'm sick. Only strong bonds have the power to motivate real sacrifices. But it is unclear why online "friends" would bother to do the hard work of friendship.(友谊的存在需要“陪伴”和“奉献”。也许深厚友谊最显著的特征是“奉献”，就像我的朋友会在我遇到麻烦时支持我，或者在我生病时给我端汤。只有牢固的关系才能激发真正的牺牲。但目前还不清楚为什么网上的“朋友”会费心去做友谊这一艰苦的工作)”可知，作者主要想告诉他的学生，网上的朋友不会做出真正的牺牲，他们无法在你遇到困难的时候给予你支持和帮助。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合文章最后一段“Digital life fills and absorbs waking life time so that people do not join in example case of friendship, like sports, collective arts, free range childhoods, etc. In this way, digital lie produces false friendships. (数字生活填补并吸收了人们清醒时的生活时间，这样人们就不会加入体现友谊的具体事项，比如运动、集体艺术、自由放养的童年等。通过这种方式，数字谎言产生了虚假的友谊)”结合文章主要论述了现在的友谊变得数字化，失去了原来的面对面友谊的意义。可知文章的主旨是数字化友谊。故选A。

Comfort foods are typically energy-dense, high-fat, and sweet, such as chocolate, ice cream and French fries. They provide pleasure or temporarily make us feel better. ____16____ .
Self-medication.
There seems to be a consistent connection between negative emotions and unhealthy foods, a phenomenon called emotional eating. In a bad mood, people are drawn to unhealthy foods（sugary and fatty）as a coping approach. ____17____ However, one study found that although comfort foods provide some relief from negative moods, so do other foods or even eating no food at all.
The need to belong.
We tend to associate certain foods with members of our family, social gatherings and people taking care of us. So when we feel lonely we desire these foods to give us comfort and security. ____18____ . For example, for a college student away from home for the first time, comfort foods may serve as a reminder of family or friends in times of stress or isolation. Evidence showed that people with positive family relationships were more likely than others to reach for comforting foods on the days when they felt lonely.
Special occasion.
____19____ . The excuse reflects a dilemma. From a short-term perspective, the indulgence（纵情享受）is the best choice, but from a long-term perspective, healthy eating is the best choice. The ideal solution is to somehow do both. ____20____ . If the situation can be framed as the "last time", then the dilemma disappears, since the person can say to himself that a new and better life will begin tomorrow.
A. This is impossible, except in one situation
B. This is because we feel comforted when we are full
C. However, as it is ideal, it's impossible for most people
D. Here are some factors that can contribute to comfort eating
E. In contrast, people in a positive mood tend to choose healthy foods
F. We tend to go for special, often unhealthy, foods on celebratory occasions
G. That is, comfort food's power may lie in the associations it calls to mind
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了安慰食品通常是高能量、高脂肪和甜的，如巧克力、冰淇淋和炸薯条。它们给我们带来快乐或暂时让我们感觉更好，以及具体列出一些为什么可以让你吃得舒服的因素。
【16题详解】
由上文“They provide pleasure or temporarily make us feel better.”（它们给我们带来快乐或暂时让我们感觉更好。）引出话题“让你感觉舒服的原因”。以及下文详细列举了三种因素， 故可以推出，空格处内容为“一些可以让你吃得舒服的因素”引出下文的具体的举例。故选D项。
【17题详解】
上文“There seems to be a consistent connection between negative emotions and unhealthy foods, a phenomenon called emotional eating. In a bad mood, people are drawn to unhealthy foods（sugary and fatty）as a coping approach.”（消极情绪和不健康食物之间似乎有一种一致的联系，这种现象被称为“情绪化饮食”。心情不好的时候，人们会选择不健康的食物(含糖和高脂肪的)作为一种应对方法。）由此推断，接下来可能会说明举出相反例子说明积极情绪可能会更健康的吃。故与E项“相反，心情好的人倾向于选择健康的食物”形成对比。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“We tend to associate certain foods with members of our family, social gatherings and people taking care of us. So when we feel lonely we desire these foods to give us comfort and security.”（我们倾向于将某些食物与我们的家庭成员、社交聚会和照顾我们的人联系在一起。所以当我们感到孤独的时候，我们渴望这些食物给我们安慰和安全。）下文“For example, for a college student away from home for the first time, comfort foods may serve as a reminder of family or friends in times of stress or isolation.”（例如，对于一个第一次离开家的大学生来说，舒适的食物可以在压力或孤立的时候提醒家人或朋友。）可知，选项G“也就是说，安慰性食物的力量可能在于它能唤起人们的联想”是对上文的推断，以及引出下文的具体证明例子。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上文标题“Special occasion.”说明特殊的场合。与下文选项F“We tend to go for special, often unhealthy, foods on celebratory occasions”中的“special”，“occasion”词汇保持一致以及对上文标题的具体说明。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“The ideal solution is to somehow do both.”（理想的解决办法是两者兼顾。）下文“If the situation can be framed as the "last time", then the dilemma disappears, since the person can say to himself that a new and better life will begin tomorrow”（如果情境可以被设定为“最后一次”，那么困境就消失了，因为这个人可以对自己说，新的、更好的生活将在明天开始。）可知选项A“这是不可能的，除非在一种情况下。”是对上文的总结，以及下文的具体解释说明。故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了为什么把纽约叫做“大苹果”的原因。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：纽约州是美国继华盛顿州之后最大的苹果种植者，但纽约市的这个绰号与水果生产无关。have nothing to do with...“与……无关”，根据句意，故填with。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：实际上，“大苹果”这个绰号最初是在赛马中流行起来的。分析句子结构，副词能够单独使用，这里表示实际上，需使用actual的副词形式作状语， 故填Actually。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：1920年左右，纽约市报纸记者约翰·菲茨·杰拉尔德，在赛道上报到，听到马手说他们要去“大苹果”，指的是纽约市，纽约市的赛道被认为是伟大的。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词John Fitz Gerald指人，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句，故填who。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。冠词修饰名词，根据此处的不定冠词a，可知本处需要单数名词，refer的名词形式reference，故填reference。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：1920年左右，纽约市报纸记者约翰·菲茨·杰拉尔德，在赛道上报到，听到马手说他们要去“大苹果”，指的是纽约市，纽约市的赛道被认为是伟大的。分析句子结构可知，consider在此处作从句的谓语，与主语是被动关系，主语是复数，根据句意，讲述过去发生的事情，句子为一般过去式，故填were considered。
【41题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：20世纪30年代，爵士音乐家用这个词来表示纽约市是顶级音乐俱乐部的所在地。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语adopted，故动词indicate为非谓语作状语，与主语是主动关系，故使用现在分词作状语，故填indicating。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：这个绰号后来逐渐不再使用，直到20世纪70年代初才重新使用，作为一场旨在提升纽约形象的旅游运动的一部分。in the early 1970s“在20世纪70年代早期”是固定短语。根据句意，故填in。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：当时，这个国家人口最多的城市正在经历经济困境。根据时间状语at the time“在那时”可知句子应该使用过去进行时，表示在过去某段时期一直存在的状态，主语是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用第三人称单数，故填was experiencing。
44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：发起这场运动的人，查尔斯·吉列特，是一个爵士乐爱好者，他知道“Big Apple”曾经是一个尊重这座城市的绰号。此处特指“这场运动”，故填the。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：以苹果为特色促销项目很快成为受欢迎的，游客们被邀请“去吃一口这个大苹果”。分析句子可知，句子的谓语动词是became，feature用非谓语动词形式作定语，修饰items，二者之间是主动关系，故填featuring。

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话续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in seventh grade, my parents paid a tutor(家庭教师)forty dollars a week for her coming to my house and helping me with math. It ended up raising my marks from 50 to 55.
I had to admit it was mainly my fault. Maybe I should have concentrated on my math from the beginning. But studying math was a painful and tough thing. My teachers and friends would frequently ask the question after tests, “How’s your math this time？” Gradually I became extremely afraid of math. My fear of math got worse in ninth grade. Every report card I received from my new math teacher Ms Robbins had the comment to encourage me,“I’m glad to do what I can to help you.” But I couldn’t tell her the real reason why I didn’t ask for help—I didn’t want to be considered stupid. Every question I had was, in my opinion at that time, something that the whole class had understood but me. So I ended up not caring about anything related to math, without working hard on math at all. But in my bottom of my heart, there was still a worry that I would not pass the math exam or even fail to be admitted to high school .
Finally, the day came when my classmates and I took the final test that would lead to our graduation from middle school and stepping into high school. Days after the exam, on a rainy summer morning, Ms. Robbins called me to her office.
注意：续写词数为 150 左右。
Paragraph 1：
With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office.
Paragraph 2：
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent.
【答案】Paragraph 1
With worry and uncertainty, I entered her office. Ms. Robbins told me that I had failed the math test, and, what was worse, that I had to spend another year in middle school if I wanted to be admitted to a high school. Hardly had I heard the news when I was reduced to tears. Seeing that, Ms. Robbins came to comfort and encourage me, “I’m glad to do what I can to help you.” After leaving her office, wandering in the rain, I was wondering how to tell the bad news to my parents, anxious and nervous.
Paragraph 2
After I took the courage to tell my parents the bad news, they were silent. Trembling with fright, I waited for their blame. However, they encouraged me to have another try in ninth grade. It was then that I determined to take math seriously. The following day, I turned to Ms Robbins for help and told her about my determination. Ms. Robbins was happy that I finally decided to work hard on math. Thanks to her patient guidance and my devotion, I made great progress and was relieved of the fear of math. Finally, I made it to a good high school and a university. Now I’m a doctor and I’m grateful to Ms. Robbins.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章以时间为线索，讲述了作者上初中时数学成绩不好，九年时的数学老师Ms Robbins主动提出帮作者，但出于对数学的恐惧和害怕被嘲笑，作者没有接受老师的帮助。最终，作者在中考中没有通过数学考试。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据本段首句“带着担忧和不确定，我走进了她的办公室。”可知，下文可描写老师告诉作者没有通过数学考试，如果要上高中的话，需要复读，并给予作者安慰和鼓励。
②根据本段首句“在我鼓起勇气告诉父母这个坏消息后，他们沉默了。”可知，下文可描写父母鼓励作者再尝试一次，以及在老师的帮助和自己的努力下，作者的数学有了很大提高，并顺利通过中考。
2.续写线索：走进办公室——得知数学未通过——老师建议复读并给予鼓励——告诉父母坏消息——父母鼓励——下定决心努力——主动求助于老师——顺利通过中考
3.词类激活
行为类
①落泪：burst into tears/ burst out crying/ reduce to tears

③决心做某事：determine to do sth./ decide to do sth./ make up one's mind to do sth.
情绪类
