On today’s blog post, I’ll be talking about my favorite magazines. I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc.

Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME — Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.
His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi.
Ever since, he has been closely following Chinese dance performers and watching numerous videos to learn more about the traditional style that he admires. “I prefer the traditional style because of its light movements. It also reflects my personality with elegance,” he adds.
Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration in the central Italian city of Florence. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice.
“The biggest difference that I found (compared to other disciplines) is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views.
Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing different traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.”
4. What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance
A. Its potential to boost his career. B. Its mix of traditional and modern elements.
C. Its graceful and light movements. D. Its true reflection of his elegant personality.
5. How does the author illustrate the popularity of Filippi’s videos
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By sharing a story. D. By making a comparison.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures.
B. People prefer to write down their past experiences.
C. Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth.
D. A book with chapters on traditions is more wonderful.
7 What is the main idea of the passage
A. Chinese-styled dance videos go viral on social media.
B. An Italian’s dance journey towards specialization starts.
C. Filippi’s desire for Chinese culture extends beyond dance.
D. An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance.
C
Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
B. Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
C. Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
D. The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
9. Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3
A. To provide specific proof. B. To clarify a complex concept.
C. To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
10. What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How macaques cut food with flakes. D. How hominins began using flakes.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. A mistake: the origin of human technology.
B. Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
C. Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
D. A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.
D
Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world
The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific” Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.
What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”
12. Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1
A. To add some fun. B. To express doubts.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To provide background.
13. What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world
A. It can be timeless. B. It can be improved.
C. It is of little value. D. It is the best at any moment.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment
A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. Sympathetic.
15. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. It is unwise to believe in science.
B Too much uncertainty lies in science.
C. The foundation of science is unfounded.
D. The lack of certainty makes science credible.

Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace, by which she was totally defeated. How eagerly she wanted it! But when she saw the price, her heart sank a little. She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.

One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me ” “Oh, yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl said delightedly, with a broad smile on her face. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” Hearing that, Jenny froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. “Oh!

But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse.

Having spent more than a decade on the dance floor, ROME — Niccolo Filippi, a 23-year-old Italian dance performer, recently decided to explore Chinese culture and its traditional dance forms and believes that this experience will not only boost his career, but also broaden his horizons beyond the world of dance.
His interest in diversifying his skills grew after he stumbled upon a short video of traditional Chinese-styled dance on YouTube. “I saw it as an art that combines tradition and modernity, which was mostly the reason why I liked it,” says Filippi.
Ever since, he has been closely following Chinese dance performers and watching numerous videos to learn more about the traditional style that he admires. “I prefer the traditional style because of its light movements. It also reflects my personality with elegance,” he adds.
Filippi’s chance came when he was invited to perform for a Chinese New Year celebration in the central Italian city of Florence. He has since fully committed himself to the art form, learning several pieces and putting his newfound passion into practice.
“The biggest difference that I found (compared to other disciplines) is the change of mood and emotional expressions among dances,” says Filippi, adding that he needed to shift from the dynamic moves of hip-hop to the graceful and fluid movements of Chinese dance. Despite various obstacles, Filippi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Two of his friends shared videos of his performances on social media, and the response was overwhelming. One video garnered 500,000 views, while the other received 200,000 views.
Filippi believes that learning about different cultures is priceless, and he sees it as a means of personal growth. “I like to think of a person as a book,” he says. “Embracing different traditions and cultures, such as Chinese culture and many others, is like adding new chapters to my book, making it more diverse and wonderful.”
4. What is the main reason why Filippi falls in love with traditional Chinese dance
A. Its potential to boost his career. B. Its mix of traditional and modern elements.
C. Its graceful and light movements. D. Its true reflection of his elegant personality.
5. How does the author illustrate the popularity of Filippi’s videos
A. By listing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By sharing a story. D. By making a comparison.
6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Filippi thinks little of learning from other cultures.
B. People prefer to write down their past experiences.
C. Accepting various cultures boosts personal growth.
D. A book with chapters on traditions is more wonderful.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Chinese-styled dance videos go viral on social media.
B. An Italian’s dance journey towards specialization starts.
C. Filippi’s desire for Chinese culture extends beyond dance.
D. An Italian dancer shows passion for Chinese-styled dance.

Consider the possibility that all human technology started with a mistake — or at least a lack of hand-eye coordination. In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives “first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.
To do their research, Luncz and Proffitt traveled to an abandoned oil palm plantation near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and collected more than 1, 100 pieces of nut-cracking stones used by a troop of long-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack open oil palm nuts by placing them on a flat stone and striking their shell with another stone. These monkeys often miss the nut and accidentally break the stones, producing sharp flakes. Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).
Macaques don’t use the sharp flakes they create for anything, Luncz adds, noting that the monkeys have sharp teeth and don’t need cutting tools. The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3.3 million and 1.5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting. Cut marks on some fossils revealed that hominins had used stone tools for butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stone tools were anything but unintentional by-products of other pounding activities.
Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2
A. The two researchers went to Thailand and collected 1, 100 flakes.
B. Long-tailed macaques used the flakes to crack open oil palm nuts.
C. Macaques deliberately produced flakes for cutting by breaking stones.
D. The flakes produced by macaques were similar to hominins’ stone tools.
9. Why does the author mention the Oldowan site in paragraph 3
A. To provide specific proof. B. To clarify a complex concept.
C. To present an interesting fact. D. To make a detailed comparison.
10. What will Luncz and Proffitt probably focus on in their future study
A. Why macaques create flakes. B. Why hominins used stone tools.
C. How macaques cut food with flakes. D. How hominins began using flakes.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. A mistake: the origin of human technology.
B. Flake technology: from macaques to hominins.
C. Pounding activities: on human evolutionary course.
D. A missing link: long-tailed macaques create flakes.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项动物研究，介绍了我们早期人类因为意外情况使用工具的情况。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Luncz and Proffitt analyzed these stones, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentionally produced looked a lot like the oldest stone tools that were intentionally made by hominins (古人类).(Luncz和Proffitt分析了这些石头，发现了一个令人惊讶的事实：猕猴无意中产生的薄片看起来很像人类故意制造的最古老的石器。)”可知，猕猴制作的薄片与人类的石器相似。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“The similar ancient stone tools collected from some of the earliest known sites, however, show evidence of being used for cutting tasks. For example, in Oldowan, a site dating between 3. 3 million and 1. 5 million years ago, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns on the tools and found that some of the flakes showed damage along their edges, indicating that they had been used for cutting.(然而，从一些已知最早的遗址中收集到的类似的古代石器显示出用于切割任务的证据。例如，在奥尔德万，一个可以追溯到大约330万到150万年前的遗址。研究人员分析了这些工具的使用磨损模式，发现一些薄片的边缘有损伤，表明它们曾被用来切割。)”可推断，作者提到奥尔德万遗址是为了提供具体的证据来说明古代石器用于切割任务。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the findings, to reveal the mechanism for the emergence of flake technology, researchers still need to learn how hominins made the leap from accidentally producing sharp flakes to picking them up and using them. Luncz and Proffitt hope to find the missing link in further studies. (尽管有了这些发现，为了揭示薄片技术出现的机制，研究人员仍然需要了解人类是如何从偶然产生尖锐的薄片到捡起并使用它们的。Luncz和Proffitt希望在进一步的研究中找到缺失的环节。)”可知，为了揭示薄片技术背后的机制，研究者们仍然需要了解古人类是如何从意外产生锋利的薄片，到捡起并使用它们的。伦茨和普罗菲特希望在接下来的研究中可以找到缺失的这一环（即原始人是如何开始使用薄片的），故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本篇是一篇科研报告类文章，第一段的“In a new study published on Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tomos Proffitt, both at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been our ancient ancestors’ or other now-extinct early human relatives“ first step toward creating the sharp-edged tools that they used to butcher animals and cut edible plants.( 在周五发表在《科学进展》上的一项新研究中，德国莱比锡马克斯普朗克进化人类学研究所的Lydia Luncz和Tomos Proffitt认为，错误地制造出的薄片可能是我们的古代祖先或其他现已灭绝的早期人类亲戚制造出锋利的工具的第一步，他们用来屠宰动物和切割可食用的植物。)”点明了新研究的结果，后文详细描述了研究过程和局限性及等未来研究前景，因此推断B项“薄片技术：从猕猴到人类。”为最佳标题。故选B项。
D
Science is a process that builds upon existing theories and knowledge by continuously revising them. Every aspect of scientific knowledge can be questioned, including the general rules of thinking that appear to be most certain. So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world
The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.
Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific” Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not. What distinguishes scientific medicine is the readiness to seriously test a treatment and to be ready to change our minds if something is shown not to work. A research doctor in a modern hospital must be ready to change his theory if a more effective way of understanding illness, or treating it, becomes available.
What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty. As John Stuart Mill wrote in “On Liberty” in 1859, “The beliefs which we have most warrant (依据) for, have no safeguard to rest on, but a standing invitation to the whole world to prove them unfounded.”
12. Why does the author raise the two questions in paragraph 1
A. To add some fun. B. To express doubts.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To provide background.
13. What can we learn about today’s scientific description of the world
A. It can be timeless. B. It can be improved.
C. It is of little value. D. It is the best at any moment.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward folk treatment
A. Dismissive. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. Sympathetic.
15. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. It is unwise to believe in science.
B. Too much uncertainty lies in science.
C. The foundation of science is unfounded.
D. The lack of certainty makes science credible.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了尽管科学总是在变化，但是它还是值得信赖的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So why is science trustworthy if it is always changing If tomorrow we will no longer see the world as Newton or Einstein found it to be, why should we take seriously today’s scientific description of the world (那么，如果科学总是在变化，为什么它是值得信赖的呢？如果明天我们看到的世界不再像牛顿或爱因斯坦发现的那样，我们为什么要认真对待今天对世界的科学描述呢？)”及下文论述可推知，作者在第一段中提出了两个问题是为了引入文章话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The answer is simple: Because at any given moment of our history, this description of the world is the best we have. The fact that it can be made better can’t diminish (降低) the fact that it is a useful instrument for understanding the world.(答案很简单：因为在我们历史的任何时刻，这种对世界的描述都是我们拥有的最好的描述。它可以变得更好这一事实不能削弱它是理解世界的有用工具这一事实)”可知，今天对世界的科学描述还可以改进。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Consider a folk healer’s herbal medicine. Can we say this treatment is “scientific” Yes, if it is proven to be effective, even if we have no idea why it works. In fact, quite a few common medications used today have their origin in folk treatments, and we are still not sure how they work. This does not imply that folk treatments are generally effective. To the contrary, many of them are not.(考虑一下民间治疗师的草药。我们能说这种治疗是“科学的”吗？是的，如果它被证明是有效的，即使我们不知道它为什么有效。事实上，今天使用的许多常用药物都起源于民间治疗，我们仍然不确定它们是如何起作用的。这并不意味着民间疗法通常是有效的。相反，许多民间疗法并非如此)”可知，作者既陈述了民间治疗的优点，又提到了不足。由此推知，作者对民间治疗持客观态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“What makes modern science uniquely powerful is its refusal to believe that it already possesses ultimate truth. The reliability of science is based not on certainty but on a complete absence of certainty.(现代科学之所以具有独特的力量，是因为它拒绝相信自己已经掌握了终极真理。科学的可靠性不是建立在确定的基础上，而是建立在完全不确定的基础上)”可知，第四段主要论述了缺乏确定性使得科学可信。故选D。

【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲了大多数人们会受无聊折磨，人们该做出改变使自己变得兴奋以及给出改变的办法。
【16题详解】
上文“It is estimated that 63 percent of us suffer from boredom regularly. A study showed that finding ways to interact with familiar people, places, and things can make everyday experiences feel exciting. In other words, sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up! （据估计，63%的人经常感到无聊。一项研究表明，找到与熟悉的人、地方和事物互动的方法可以让日常经历变得令人兴奋。换句话说，有时候你需要改变一下。）”说明无聊在生活中很普遍，空格处承上启下，下文每一段的小标题是对应的解决方法。F项“Need some fresh ideas to keep life fresh（需要一些新鲜的想法来保持生活的新鲜么）”用反问句来引出下文的方法。故选F项。
【17题详解】
上文“Our curiosity can remind people that we’re interested in who they are, and that’s the key to maintaining a close personal relationship.（我们的好奇心可以提醒别人，我们对他们是谁感兴趣，这是保持亲密的个人关系的关键。）”可知，好奇心可以吸引别人的注意。G项“Being curious makes us engaging to be around（好奇使我们吸引周围的人。）”符合题意，Being curious与上文中Our curiosity相呼应。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“Move your home office to the library or a coffee shop a few days a week.（每周有几天把你的家庭办公室搬到图书馆或咖啡店。）”及下文“For instance, when leading a Monday meeting, try starting it with a non-work discussion.（例如，当领导周一的会议时，试着以与工作无关的讨论开始。）”可知，更换办公地点及会议开始的话题可以让氛围愉悦。E项“Approach a routine task in a new way.（以一种新的方式处理日常任务。）”承上启下，符合题意，对前后的例证有总结作用。故选E项。
19题详解】
下文“It happens when couples stop taking the opportunity to grow and deeply connect with each other. Look for new challenges to take on together. Try mixing up different sets of friends to do something creative, such as a group cooking lesson, a themed dinner, or an old-fashioned tea party.（当夫妻二人再抓住机会彼此成长和加深联系时，这种情况就会发生。一起寻找新的挑战。试着把不同的朋友聚在一起做一些有创意的事情，比如一个集体烹饪课，一个主题晚餐，或者一个老式的茶会。）”说明朋友们联系的少的时候无聊这种情绪就会产生，试着跟朋友们做一些有创意的事情也能避免造成无聊。所以这一段第二句的it 指代的是boredom。B项“Boredom is an emotional state.（无聊是一种情绪状态。）”符合本段陈述的内容。故选B项。
【20题详解】
下文“If you drive, take a different route or listen to a new podcast. If you walk or use public transportation, greet a stranger or put away your phone and do some people watching. Just remember, whatever you do to get rid of boredom today, try something different tomorrow.（如果你开车，走一条不同的路线或者听一个新的播客。如果你步行或乘坐公共交通工具，和陌生人打招呼或收起手机，做一些别人看的事。只要记住，无论你今天做什么来打发无聊，明天尝试一些不同的东西。）”说明在路上的时候也可以通过做一些事情来打发无聊。故选A项。

Students’ Union
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Recently it’s common to see some uncivilized practices on campus such as littering and wasting resources. I, on behalf of the Student Union, would like to call on everyone to contribute to an eco-friendly campus.
Firstly, we should make recycling as easy as possible. A simple way to do this is bearing garbage classification in mind, throwing different kinds of waste into different dustbins.
Secondly, conserve water, electricity and paper. For example, turn off the tap and the lights when not in use, and reuse used paper on the back, thus reducing waste of resources.
Let’s make the campus a greener place! Only through joint efforts can we achieve this goal.

Jenny was a pretty eight-year-old girl.
One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace, by which she was totally defeated. How eagerly she wanted it! But when she saw the price, her heart sank a little. She gathered up her courage and asked her mother if she would buy it for her. Her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should make up a list of housework that you can do to pay for the necklace.” Jenny agreed immediately, feeling a burst of joy. So her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her housework determinedly and earnestly every day. Soon Jenny paid off the pearls.
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, do you love me ” “Oh, yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl said delightedly, with a broad smile on her face. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” Hearing that, Jenny froze there, an anxious expression twisting her face. “Oh! Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay ” “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss, gently and calmly. “Good night, little one.”
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, “Do you love me ” “Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you.” the little girl murmured softly, trying to escape from her father’s eyes. “Well, then, give me your pearls.” “Oh, Daddy, not my pearls! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her She is my favorite.” The little girl begged. “No, that’s okay,” her father said, smiling broadly and sweetly and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams.”

【答案】Paragraph 1：
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her story, Jenny was waiting anxiously for him on the bed. When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded, with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly. When the story came to an end, unexpectedly, Jenny offered her beloved necklace to her father, with her fingers trembling automatically. No one knew what the necklace meant to her. She whispered to her father, softly and gently, “Daddy, you know I love you more than the necklace.” Then, the necklace slid into her father’s hands determinedly.
Paragraph 2：
Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue box. Much to Jenny’s amazement, a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box, which set her heart racing. Jenny froze there, a thrilled expression twisting her face. Before Jenny was able to say something. her father brushed a warm kiss on her face and gathered her into his arms. Holding the genuine necklace in her hand, Jenny lifted her lip, tears beginning to blur her vision.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达考查读后续写。
【详解】读后续写主要以故事类文本为主，考生在阅读时，不应该走马观花看情节，而应找出文章的六要素（who, when, where, what, how, why），然后将每个主要事件都用六要素串联成一句话。这样一来，冗长的故事就成了两三句，文章的结构自然清晰明了。同时，考生还应该分析已给出的两个开头句包含的主要句子结构，这样才能保证正确的写作方向。为了写出符合故事发展的“尾巴”，必须先分析原文的情节发展方向。除了采用上文提到过的六要素分析法，在审题时还应该着重分析三个点：起因、转折、高潮。只有确定了故事的起因，考生才能合理推断这个起因会导致的可能结果；只有确定了故事的转折，考生才能合理地将故事发展下去。不过，在设计情节时，同样要考虑六要素，将它们串联成一句话，再将这句话添砖加瓦变成段落。在语言方面，注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切，合理使用高分词汇、短语及句型；不要抄原文，情节合情合理；书写美观，保持卷面整洁。
【点睛】范文内容完整，结构严谨，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高级句子When listening to the story, Jenny was totally absent-minded, with her hands holding the necklace tightly and firmly.使用了状语从句的省略，和with复合结构；Holding the plastic pearl his daughter offered, the father dragged out a blue box.使用了非谓语动词做状语；Much to Jenny’s amazement, a beautiful real pearl necklace lay peacefully in the box, which set her heart racing.使用了which引导的定语从句。这些为文章增色不少，而且全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
