阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
After learning about these famous women, you’ll know you can do a lot for society no matter what. You don’t need to be in a specific field, time or environment to make a difference to the world in your lifetime.
Amelia Earhart (1897－1937)
Amelia Earhart was the first woman who ever flew alone across the Atlantic in 1932. She became the first woman pilot in 1935 after flying from Hawaii to California. She began her lifelong dream of flying across the world in 1937. However, her flight went missing on that trip and she was never seen again.
Helena Rubinstein (1870－1965)
Helena Rubinstein moved to Australia in 1902 without the ability to speak English. Later, she founded one of the world’s first cosmetic (化妆品) companies after mixing lanolin, which is an oil that comes from sheep’s wool, with flowers. Because of that, she became the world’s richest woman at the time.
Katharine Hepburn (1907－2003)
Katharine Hepburn was known for playing strong willed women in her films. She won four Academy Awards for Best Actress, the most an actress has ever won. Her new dress style made wearing trousers acceptable to women, which wasn’t allowed at that time.
Emmeline Pankhurst (1858－1928)
Emmeline was an influential woman activist, who helped British women get the right to vote. She fought along with her husband for the rights of women all the time in the late 19th century and early 20th century. After she lost her husband, she teamed up with her three daughters and formed The Women Social and Political Union, which was best known as the suffragettes (women’s right to vote).

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, and he and his father reached an agreement, and von Neumann went to study chemistry. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and in 1933 he became one of the 6 full-time professors in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).
World War Ⅱ (1931 — 1945) hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. After 1940, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in machines and made several fundamental computing contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He is remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really is a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”
4. What did von Neumann’s father believe according to the text
A. A mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money.
B. A mathematician needed a good memory.
C. Von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time.
D. Von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speed.

A. At the age of 25. B. At the age of 26.
C. At the age of 29. D. At the age of 32.
6. What does the underlined word “firm” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strong. B. Small. C. Famous. D. Weak.
7. Which of the following can best describe John von Neumann according to the last paragraph
A. Calm. B. Brave. C. Intelligent. D. Humorous.
C
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted (解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex kind of feeling The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
8. What did the University of Glasgow find
A. Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B. Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C. It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D. Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
9. Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion
A. Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B. Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C. Happiness surprise, sadness and fear. D. Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
10. What can we learn according to Paragraph 3
A. Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B. Facial expressions can’t show complex feelings.
C Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D. The way to express emotions changes with time.
11. Which is the proper title for the passage
A. What Does Your Face Say B. How Do We Communicate
C. What Are the Six Basic Emotions D. Do We Have the Same Expressions
D
Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. It is about half of the size of Earth and is often referred to as the “Red Planet” because of its red surface.
Mars has seasons like Earth, but the seasons there are twice as long as the seasons on Earth. Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth. However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars’s ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.
Many scientists believe that studying Mars can help us answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth, or even the universe. But missions to Mars have never been easy. Facing great challenges, many countries will still continue their explorations. Launching the first Mars probe (探测器) from Wenchang around 2020 is China’s first step to explore the “Red Planet”
The Chinese Mars probe is made up of three parts: the orbiter, the lander, and the rover. Entering the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, the Mars probe separates from the launch vehicle. Then the space-to-ground communications link is created. Controllers on Earth guide it into the orbit around Mars. After collecting detailed information about the landing area, the probe is ready for the landing. The orbiter and the lander separate. The orbiter stays in the orbit for at least a year to photograph key areas and monitor the planet’s environment, while the lander heads down to the surface of Mars.
Nine kilometres above the planet, a large parachute(降落伞) opens to slow the landing craft as it falls. After removing the parachute, the lander chooses a safe place to land, where the Martian rover can start operations, collecting and transmitting data back to Earth. After receiving its orders from Earth, the rover leaves the landing point and begins to explore the surface of Mars.
12. How does the writer develop paragraph 2
A. By making a list. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What can we learn about Mars exploration according to the text
A. China has been exploring Mars for many years.
B. Mars exploration is not so difficult for some countries.
C. Some countries will stop Mars exploration due to great difficulties.
D. Mars exploration can help us better understand the earth and universe.
14. About the flight of the Mars probe, which is the correct order
① The probe is ready for the landing.
② The Mars probe separates from the launch vehicle.
③ Controllers on Earth guide it into the orbit around Mars.
④ The probe collects detailed information about the landing area.
A. ①②③④ B. ④③①② C. ②③④① D. ②③①④
15. What’s the function of the rover
A. It slows the landing craft as it falls.
B. It collects and transmits data back to Earth.
C. It helps the lander to find a safe place to land.
D. It guides the probe into the orbit around Mars.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house.
Just then Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
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。
When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it.

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, and he and his father reached an agreement, and von Neumann went to study chemistry. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and in 1933 he became one of the 6 full-time professors in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).
World War Ⅱ (1931 — 1945) hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. After 1940, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in machines and made several fundamental computing contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He is remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really is a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”
4. What did von Neumann’s father believe according to the text
A. A mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money.
B. A mathematician needed a good memory.
C. Von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time.
D. Von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speed.
5. When did von Neumann publish his first book
A. At the age of 25. B. At the age of 26.
C. At the age of 29. D. At the age of 32.
6. What does the underlined word “firm” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Strong. B. Small. C. Famous. D. Weak.
7. Which of the following can best describe John von Neumann according to the last paragraph
A. Calm. B. Brave. C. Intelligent. D. Humorous.

How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are interpreted (解释) might depend on where you are from. Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. It was widely believed that six basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust) were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate a much more complex kind of feeling The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.
8. What did the University of Glasgow find
A. Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B. Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C. It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D. Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
9. Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion
A. Sadness, fear, anger and surprise. B. Anger, sadness, fear and happiness.
C. Happiness, surprise, sadness and fear. D. Disgust, happiness, anger and sadness.
10. What can we learn according to Paragraph 3
A. Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B. Facial expressions can’t show complex feelings.
C. Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D. The way to express emotions changes with time.
11. Which is the proper title for the passage
A. What Does Your Face Say B. How Do We Communicate
C. What Are the Six Basic Emotions D. Do We Have the Same Expressions
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是最新的科学研究发现人类只有四种基本的面部表情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish(辨别). Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.(然而，格拉斯哥大学的研究表明，人类面部只有四种基本的情感表达。这是因为有些成对的情绪是无法区分的。例如，恐惧和惊讶都睁大了眼睛。愤怒和厌恶的面部表情看起来也是一样的。)”可知，研究发现人类面部只有四种基本情感表达，之所以原来认为是六种是因为有些情绪是相似的，无法区别，由此可知，格拉斯哥大学发现六种面部表情中有一些是相似的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fear and surprise, for example, both share wide open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.(例如，恐惧和惊讶都睁大了眼睛。愤怒和厌恶的面部表情看起来也是一样的。)”可知，惊讶与恐惧，以及愤怒与厌恶的面部表情很相似，结合选项可知，相似的表情不能出现在同一组中，所以这四个基本表情应为愤怒、伤心、恐惧和幸福。故选B项
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.(然而，在观察东西方人们在面部表情识别过程中如何看待面部的不同部位时，科学家们发现，尽管不同文化之间存在一些共同特征，但这六种基本的面部表情并没有得到普遍认可。)”可知，基本面部表情并非是通用的，在不同的文化背景下，对面部表情的理解不同。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.(你认为你可以用你的脸与人交流多少种不同的情绪？你和来自不同文化背景的人有相同的面部表情吗？阅读这篇文章，了解科学家刚刚发现的关于这个话题的内容。)”可知，本文以提问的方式引出本文的主题为基本的面部表情有几种，第二段中的“New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.(新的研究表明，情绪只有四种基本的面部表情。)”可知，人类的面部表情有四种，并对该研究进行对比分析，由于有些面部表情不易区别，才会理解为人类的基本面部表情有六种，结合倒数第二段中的“The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.(研究发现，不同文化中表达方式的解释方式是不同的。)”可知，研究也发现，人类的基本面部表情也不是通用的，不同的文化背景，对面部表情的理解也不同，综上信息可知，本文的标题为“你的面部说什么？”也就是，面部表情表达什么意义，可以涵盖文章的内容，概括本文的主题。故选A项。
D
Mars is truly a fascinating planet for those of us here on Earth. It is about half of the size of Earth and is often referred to as the “Red Planet” because of its red surface.
Mars has seasons like Earth, but the seasons there are twice as long as the seasons on Earth. Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth. However, Mars does have weather, with clouds and winds. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars’s ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.
Many scientists believe that studying Mars can help us answer some of the key questions about our planet Earth, or even the universe. But missions to Mars have never been easy. Facing great challenges, many countries will still continue their explorations. Launching the first Mars probe (探测器) from Wenchang around 2020 is China’s first step to explore the “Red Planet”
The Chinese Mars probe is made up of three parts: the orbiter, the lander, and the rover. Entering the Earth-Mars transfer orbit, the Mars probe separates from the launch vehicle. Then the space-to-ground communications link is created. Controllers on Earth guide it into the orbit around Mars. After collecting detailed information about the landing area, the probe is ready for the landing. The orbiter and the lander separate. The orbiter stays in the orbit for at least a year to photograph key areas and monitor the planet’s environment, while the lander heads down to the surface of Mars.
Nine kilometres above the planet, a large parachute(降落伞) opens to slow the landing craft as it falls. After removing the parachute, the lander chooses a safe place to land, where the Martian rover can start operations, collecting and transmitting data back to Earth. After receiving its orders from Earth, the rover leaves the landing point and begins to explore the surface of Mars.
12. How does the writer develop paragraph 2
A. By making a list. B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What can we learn about Mars exploration according to the text
A. China has been exploring Mars for many years.
B. Mars exploration is not so difficult for some countries.
C. Some countries will stop Mars exploration due to great difficulties.
D. Mars exploration can help us better understand the earth and universe.
14. About the flight of the Mars probe, which is the correct order
① The probe is ready for the landing.
② The Mars probe separates from the launch vehicle.
③ Controllers on Earth guide it into the orbit around Mars.
④ The probe collects detailed information about the landing area
A. ①②③④ B. ④③①② C. ②③④① D. ②③①④
15. What’s the function of the rover
A. It slows the landing craft as it falls.
B. It collects and transmits data back to Earth.
C. It helps the lander to find a safe place to land.
D. It guides the probe into the orbit around Mars.

【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了发展夏威夷当地种植的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意：如今，当地种植的食物是在上升，重要的是要知道为什么这种趋势在农业至关重要。设空处作形式主语，真正的主语是to know why this trend in farming matters，故填it。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：夏威夷是一个相当遥远的地方。夏威夷人大约85%的食物都是带进来的。设空处作定语修饰food，表示“他们的”，应填形容词性物主代词，故填their。
【38题详解】
考查不定式作宾语。句意：夏威夷大学(University of Hawaii)农业综合企业孵化器项目(Agribusiness Incubator Program)主任史蒂文·蒋(Steven Chiang)指出，在夏威夷，对于想要耕种土地的人来说，劳动力成本很高。want to do sth.意为“想要做某事”。故填to farm。
【39题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：因为许多不同的团体和个人拥有小块土地,获得耕地也是困难。动词ing形式短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。由语境可知，设空处所在句描述现在的情况，应用一般现在时，故填is。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：由于许多不同的团体和个人拥有小块土地，获得耕地也很困难。设空处所在句为there be结构，设空处表示“好处”，由设空处前的are many可知，此处应用名词复数形式，故填benefits。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：我们土壤中的食物将有机会完全地生长。设空处作状语修饰grown，表示“完全地”，故填fully。
【42题详解】
考查关系代词。句意：植物也可以减少空气中的二氧化碳，这将对我们的环境有利。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个主句且在从句中作主语，故填which。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：因此，可能用于其他用途的土地，如新的公寓或办公楼，可以受到保护。land与use之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，因为设空处前有情态动词might，故填be used。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以通过支持和购买当地种植的食物来尽自己的一份力。设空处与supporting并列作介词by的宾语，故填buying。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：你甚至可以在厨房或后院的容器里自己种植食物。设空处所在句意为“你可以在厨房一个小容器里或者后院里自己种植食物”，either...or...意为“或…...或…..”。故填or。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The annual Halloween arrived, during which kids dressed in traditional clothes went to neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy.
On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich.
Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street.
Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking.
She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house.
Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why ”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. The girls greeted her, showed off their beautiful clothes and asked for candy. Mrs Vaughan, who held a bag of sweets, asked them to wait for a moment. Then, she waved to Allison, calling out, “Dear, come here!” When Allison came, Mrs Vaughan said, “Oh, how beautiful you are today!” Then, she gave Allison most of her candy although the girl declined. When Allison walked away, Mrs Vaughan divided the rest of the candy among Anna and her friends, who were a little angry and confused.
Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why ” Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. “She has great inner beauty. Inner beauty is more important. Why not be friends with her ” Mrs Vaughan added. Hearing that, Anna and her friends’ faces turned red and they realized they had done something wrong. They said goodbye to Mrs Vaughan, caught up with Allison, and sincerely invited Allison to join them. Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一年一度的感恩节到来，孩子们盛装打扮去向邻居索要糖果，家境贫穷的艾利森因为衣服廉价而被安娜和她的朋友们排挤，看到这一切的沃恩太太决定给安娜他们一个教训，于是沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果并告诉安娜他们这是因为艾利森经常帮助邻居们，她的内在更美，于是孩子们意识到了自己的错误并主动邀请艾莉森成为了朋友。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“当安娜和她的朋友们敲她的门时，沃恩太太开了门。”可知，第一段可描写沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果，而给了安娜和她的朋友们很少的糖果。
