Top attractions in Florence
One of the wealthiest cities during the Italian Renaissance, Florence is home to classical works of art, historic architecture and natural beauty. Here are the top 4 attractions in Florence.
Duomo—Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Florence's most popular site is Duomo(cathedral). Construction of the Duomo began in 1296. Inside the Duomo, there are dozens of paintings and sculptures of great historical and cultural significance, so give yourself some time to take it all in. The main attraction of this massive structure is Brunelleschi's Dome, a masterpiece of architecture. You'll definitely want to buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to its top.
Galleria degli Uffizi
ADDRESS: Piazzale degli Uffizi, 6, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2388651
The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art, as well as thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times. Artists whose works you'll see include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, and Raphael. Having all these artists' works in one place means you'll want to allow plenty of time to fully appreciate all of them. The Uffizi is Italy's most crowded museum so it's a good idea to buy tickets ahead to avoid long ticket lines.
Campanile—Bell Tower
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Construction of the Campanile (Italian for “hell tower”) began in 1334. Inside the Campanile are detailed relief carvings and sculptures. If you climb the 414 stairs (there's no elevator in this Gothic tower), you'll be rewarded not only with great views of the Cathedral and its dome hut of Florence and the surrounding area.
Ponte Vecchio
ADDRESS: Ponte Vecchio, 50125 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-294290
The Ponte Vecchio (old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's first bridge across the Arno River. It is the only surviving bridge from Florence's medieval days (others were destroyed in World War II). The always crowded Fonte Vecchio is still lined with shops selling gold and silver jewelry. From the bridge, you’ll have a great view of the Arno River and beyond.
21. What do you probably do when visiting Brunelleschi's Dome
A. Climbing to its top. B. Taking the elevator.
C. Knowing a little history. D. Buying a season ticket.
22. For which attraction are you advised to buy tickets in advance
A. Duomo—Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. B. Galleria degli Uffizi.
C. Campanile—Bell Tower. D. Ponte Vecchio.

C. A news report. D. An art show review.

Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, 34, from Surrey, when she lost her job two years ago.
At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time.
Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off.
Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She is often at her most creative when she’s floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs’ faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at 295 and can cost up to 595.
“When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.”
24. What does the underlined word “redundant” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Responsible. B. Retired. C. Unimportant. D. Unemployed.
25. Who contributed to the initial development of Holly’s business
A. The netizens. B. Holly’s parents.
C. Holly’s friends. D. Customers losing their pets.
26. What do customers think of Holly’s paintings
A. They speak highly of her paintings.
B. They don’t like her pet paintings.
C. They think her paintings need to be improved.
D. They think her paintings should include more details.
27. What does the story convey to the readers
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. He who laughs last laughs best.
D. Failure is the mother of success.
C
Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development.
Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.
Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.
While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.
Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other.
So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.
28. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on
A. Time needed to do sports. B. Proper places for exercise.
C. Sports suitable for children. D. Advantages of doing exercise.
29. Which of the following is fine motor skill
A. Taking weightlifting exercise. B. Picking up stones on the beach.
C. Walking on the roads with care. D. Playing tennis on the playground.
30. Why do some children feel happy to talk outside
A. Because they have less stress from study. B. Because they like to take more adventures.
C. Because they feel less watched or overheard. D. Because they love animals living in the wild.
31. Who is the text mainly written for
A. Parents. B. Children. C. Teachers. D. Researchers.
D
A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
32. What is the purpose of praise groups
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
33. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
34 What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A. A way of making new friends. B. A kind of medicine.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
35. What is the author's attitude to praise groups
A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.

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.”

Florence's most popular site is Duomo(cathedral). Construction of the Duomo began in 1296. Inside the Duomo, there are dozens of paintings and sculptures of great historical and cultural significance, so give yourself some time to take it all in. The main attraction of this massive structure is Brunelleschi's Dome, a masterpiece of architecture. You'll definitely want to buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to its top.
Galleria degli Uffizi

The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art, as well as thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times. Artists whose works you'll see include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, and Raphael. Having all these artists' works in one place means you'll want to allow plenty of time to fully appreciate all of them.

Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. This is exactly the case for Holly Smith, 34, from Surrey, when she lost her job two years ago.
At the beginning of 2020, Holly was working as a general manager for a small independent bakery business in Surrey. She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. Being made redundant came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time.
Holly didn’t know where to turn initially, but she was determined to find a silver lining, so she picked up a paintbrush and began to paint. Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off.
Holly named her business Holly & Murphy, after her special five-year-old cocker spaniel, Murphy. She is often at her most creative when she’s floating on water, together with her furry companion in her boat. She combines watercolour paints and pencils to bring dogs’ faces to life. A small painting usually takes two to three days to complete. Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. Some of the most memorable paintings she has been asked to do are of dogs that have passed away. Her dog portraits start at 295 and can cost up to 595.
“When it first happened, it felt like the end of the world,” Holly, a current full-time painter and business owner, told The Mirror, “but it was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I’m so grateful to have a job that I love.”
24. What does the underlined word “redundant” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Responsible. B. Retired. C. Unimportant. D. Unemployed.
25 Who contributed to the initial development of Holly’s business
A. The netizens. B. Holly’s parents.
C. Holly’s friends. D. Customers losing their pets.
26. What do customers think of Holly’s paintings
A. They speak highly of her paintings.
B. They don’t like her pet paintings.
C. They think her paintings need to be improved.
D. They think her paintings should include more details.
27. What does the story convey to the readers
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. He who laughs last laughs best.
D. Failure is the mother of success.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Holly突然被公司解雇后，陷入困境，后来她以为宠物画肖像重新出发，广受好评，迎来了崭新的事业。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“She had been there six years and couldn’t believe it when they told her she had to pack up her bags and leave. (她在那里待了六年，当他们告诉她必须收拾行李离开时，她简直不敢相信)”和下文“came as a huge shock for her and she panicked about struggling to pay the bills and finding another job during such a difficult time (对她来说是一个巨大的打击，她对在如此困难的时期挣扎着支付账单和找另一份工作感到恐慌)”可知，此处在描述Holly失业时的情况，失业让她受到巨大打击，她的处境很艰难。由此可知，主语Being made redundant指的是“被解雇，被裁员”，redundant表示“被解雇的”，和unemployed相近。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Holly painted a portrait of her parent’s dog, a Spinone Italiano named Bailey, and shared the image online. Straight after, a few friends requested their own pet paintings and soon her career took off. (Holly给她父母的狗画了一幅肖像画，这只狗名叫Bailey，是一只史毕诺犬，并在网上分享了这幅画。不久之后，一些朋友要求她画自己的宠物画，很快她的事业就起飞了)”可知，一开始是朋友们关照了Holly的绘画事业，然后她的事业成功了，因此是朋友们为Holly生意的初期发展做出了贡献。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Customers love how she captures their pet’s personality in great detail. (顾客们喜欢她捕捉宠物个性的细节)”可知，顾客们很喜欢Holly在绘画中捕捉到了宠物个性的细节，对她的画作评价很高。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Holly的故事展开，在被公司解雇后，她的生活陷入困境，但她决定寻求一线希望，开始拿起画笔为宠物画肖像，收到了很多好评，事业取得了成功，再结合第一段中“Sometimes when it feels like things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place. (有时候，当你感觉事情正在分崩离析时，它们实际上可能正在恢复原状)”可推知，Holly的故事传递出这样的讯息：看似糟糕的事情，可能会带来好结果。因此，B项“黑暗中总有一线光明”符合题意。故选B项。

Playing outside can do good to children in many ways. As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental (精神的) development.
Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.
Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s motor skills: Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements with our arms or legs. There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills outside. For example, running around, walking on the roads which are not smooth or climbing hills. Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.
While playing outside, children can also build their vocabulary by naming the objects or animals they see around them. Ask your child to describe the view or find shapes in the clouds. Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.
Moving through new and different places can improve children’s spatial awareness (空间意识). Playing outside often means children have to use their imagination and communication skills. They are likely to have fewer toys outdoors and so have to create their own games. This can increase how much children talk to each other.
So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.
28. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on
A. Time needed to do sports. B. Proper places for exercise.
C. Sports suitable for children. D. Advantages of doing exercise.
29. Which of the following is fine motor skill
A. Taking weightlifting exercise. B. Picking up stones on the beach.
C. Walking on the roads with care. D. Playing tennis on the playground.
30. Why do some children feel happy to talk outside
A. Because they have less stress from study. B. Because they like to take more adventures.
C. Because they feel less watched or overheard. D. Because they love animals living in the wild.
31. Who is the text mainly written for
A. Parents. B. Children. C. Teachers. D. Researchers.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。在外面玩对孩子有很多好处。仅仅10到15分钟就可以支持身体和精神的发展。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Generally speaking, children should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise per day. This could be running, climbing, skipping, jumping or kicking a ball at the park. Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a healthy weight. It strengthens muscles and develops their balance. Exercise is also good for mental health. It gives off endorphins in their brains, which can make them feel happier.(一般来说，孩子们应该以每天做60分钟的运动为目标。这可能是跑步，攀登，跳跃，跳跃或在公园踢球。锻炼有助于孩子保持健康的体型和保持健康的体重。它能增强肌肉力量，提高平衡能力。运动对心理健康也有好处。它会在他们的大脑中释放内啡肽，这会让他们感到更快乐。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了锻炼的好处，故选D。

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Fine motor skills are our ability to make smaller movements often with our hands. Children can develop these skills by picking up small objects.(精细的运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力。孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能。)”可知，精细运动技能是我们经常用手做小动作的能力，孩子们可以通过捡起小物件来发展这些技能，由此可知，在沙滩上捡石头是精细运动。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some children may find they’re happier to talk outside. With fewer people around watching or overhearing them, they can be more adventurous with their language.(有些孩子可能会发现他们更乐于在户外交谈。由于周围观看或偷听他们的人越来越少，他们可以更大胆地使用自己的语言。)”可知，有些孩子喜欢在外面聊天是因为他们觉得没有那么多人监视或偷听。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to spend time outdoors. Explore your local area. Or set up some activities or a family sports day.(因此，你应该考虑在日常生活中让孩子有机会在户外活动。探索你所在的区域。或者安排一些活动或者家庭运动日。)”中的your daily life for children可推知，本文是写给家长的。故选A。

A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.
To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence.
For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it amusing and uplifting. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her desire to post such high-quality praises in the future.
Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to seek and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.
Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often associated with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.
32. What is the purpose of praise groups
A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported.
C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness.
33. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3
A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress.
C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area.
34. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph
A. A way of making new friends. B. A kind of medicine.
C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems.
35. What is the author's attitude to praise groups
A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫作“夸夸群”的交流形式在中国社交媒体上流行起来。这些聊天群提供了一个平台，让人们能够得到赞美和鼓励。

It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth.(夸夸群的出现，是中国人寻求和接受日常生活中可能缺乏的赞美和鼓励的一种方式。它为参与者提供了积极向上的体验，提高了幸福感和自我价值感。)”可知，夸夸群旨在给人们带来希望和快乐。故选D。
【33题详解】

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only count on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.(但是人生的旅程是漫长的，当没有人提供帮助的时候，我们只能依靠自己来面对一些意想不到的情况。)”可知，作者对夸夸群的态度既没有反对，也没有支持，只是客观地做了评价。A.

【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：每个星期六的晚上，妈妈都会坐在厨房的桌子旁，把爸爸带回家的钱分成几份。分析句子成分可知，空处应为定语从句的引导词指代先行词the money，指物，并在定语从句中充当brought的宾语，需用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
【57题详解】

【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：句意：当Nels想上高中时，我和我的家人尽最大努力挣钱或存钱，而不是去银行。短语instead of“而不是”，介词of后应用doing。故填going。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：为了得到足够的钱，Nels自愿放学后在Dillon的杂货店工作；爸爸决定戒烟，我计划每周五晚上照看Elvington家的孩子们。本文整篇为介绍过去的情况。故用一般过去时。故填volunteered。
【63题详解】

【65题详解】

【答案】Dear Alex,
With the College Entrance Examination approaching, my anxiety about the English learning is increasing. So I am writing to seek some guidance on how to improve it.
English writing is really a big challenge for me. First of all, my vocabulary is not large, which makes it impossible for me to choose right and authentic words and phrases. Besides, English grammar becomes a bottleneck of my English writing, the sentences I construct being much more like Chinese sentences than English ones.
Should you be kind enough to give me any help, I would be grateful to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
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。
