Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek has been honored with this year's Templeton Prize. The award recognizes individuals whose life's work brings together science and spirituality.
Wilczek is known for his research into the laws of nature. In a statement, the John Templeton Foundation said his work changes "our understanding of the forces that govern our universe." It said he used physics to address "the great questions of meaning and purpose pondered by generations of religious thinkers."
John Templeton created the prize in 1972. It is one of the most highly valued prizes at more than $1.3 million. Past winners include Jane Goodall, Mother Teresa and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Wilczek told The Associated Press, "It's a company I'm very glad to join in." He added, "It's encouragement in a direction that I've really only taken up in a big way quite recently... which is thinking about not just what the world is and how it came to be this way but what we should do about it."
Over a long career, Wilczek had many successes. He won the 2004 Nobel Prize along with David J. Gross, and H. David Politzer for their 1973 research explaining the unusual properties of the strong force. Wilczek is currently a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Arizona State University and Stockholm University. He is also the founding director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's T. D. Lee Institute. He has also written several books that are informed by science but look into spiritual and philosophical questions.
Heather Dill is the Templeton Foundation president. In a statement, she said, "Like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, he is a natural philosopher who unites a curiosity about the behavior of nature with a playful and profound philosophical mind."

While temperatures continue to climb, visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border. The park is known as the hottest place on Earth. This past weekend, the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃. Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.
Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.
Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue. While park rangers (护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need, it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time.
Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted. Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, "It's very hot especially when there's a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face."
Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service's website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.
Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists. Badwater Basin, made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America. The 183-meter Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2,000 years. And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot.
Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. "It's hot, but the scenery is awesome," he said.
28.What do most visitors do in Death Valley
A.Cool themselves in time.
B.Do lots of physical exercises.
C.Stay away from park rangers.
D.Carry dryers with themselves.
29.Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2
A.To encourage the elderly to travel more.
B.To express admiration for mountain climbers.
C.To advise people to tour Death Valley more often.
D.To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley.
30.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley
A.Its covering area.
B.Its attractive spots.
C.The reason why it is so hot.
D.The service of its website.
31.What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs
A.It has a short history.
B.It is worth visiting.
C.It draws fewer and fewer tourists.
D.It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise.

Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.
California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey's AeroFarms and Kentucky's AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.
The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. "The fact that some people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to," he said.
Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call "controlled environment agriculture". There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lights and with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.
Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.
But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, "It's just hard to be very profitable."
32.What is Jacob Portillo's attitude to the indoor food growing industry
A.Positive. B.Worried. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
33.What can we learn about indoor farming
A.It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.
B.It means growing plants in water instead of soil.
C.It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.
D.It is different from controlled environment agriculture.
34.Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations
A.They produce little food. B.They carry great cost.
C.They need sunlight. D.They lack investors.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors
B.How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil
C.Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture Indoors
D.Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future

How to Learn Several Languages at a Time
Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience. At some point, you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time. 36. However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you're learning.
37. If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.
Make one language your priority. 38. This way, at the end of your hard work, you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages, rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them.
Translate between the languages you're learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language. 39.
Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites, such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once. 40. This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.
A. This process can be very difficult.
B. Choose languages that vary in difficulty.
C. Study the same topic in all of the languages.
D. You can use a website to find a group like this.
E. This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.
F. It is helpful to give one of the languages the most time and attention.
G. Download an app, and then add all of your languages, if they are available on it.

About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn't have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man's whole order to ours. I paid the $87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card(and knew that we only had $90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $44.58. There was $47 in our account. But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn't afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.

【解析】【听力原文】 M: Here're three ways to experience the Jane Austen lifestyle in England. The Jane Austen Festival, held in Bath in September, is a popular hangout for super fans. Ten days of Austen-inspired events include guided walks, concerts, dance classes and more. But the fashion will impress you the most! You can see all ladies and gentlemen dress in the style of the 18th century period. It's hard not to ooh and ah at every corner. Jane Austen spent the final eight years of her life living in Chawton. Today, her home serves as a public museum. The museum once created an exhibition—"Jane Austen in 41 Objects". Each object explores a different aspect of Jane Austen's life and works. It ran from March 10th to December 15th. Jane Austen Center is a must-visit to enjoy afternoon tea like Jane and her characters. Although guests are able to visit the tea room for free, it's worth paying for a ticket to the center to see a life-sized statue of Jane and try on a variety of traditional costumes.

67.【答案】As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him. When he was confusedly wondering what she was for, the worker handed him his sandwich. Without a word, she ran back into the store. With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. About two minutes later, he was getting ready to leave when he saw the same man and little girl from a week earlier. At that moment, my husband knew what had happened.
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way. Although they didn't say a word to each other, gratitude took roots in their hearts. They made sure for the second time that they both left the store with dinner for their families. My husband told me what had happened on arriving home. I was touched and lost in thought. In a world where distance means safety, it's refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it's only at a local Subway.
【知识点】读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了作者和丈夫在地铁站购买三明治时,遇到一位带着孩子来购买三明治和饼干的男士,当这位男士没有足够的钱支付时,尽管作者和丈夫因疫情导致收入并不富足,但他们依然为他支付了账单,但后面二人也遭遇了没有足够的前支付账单的尴尬情况。根据文中最后一段内容的第一句What happened next was amazing接下来发生的事真是太令人惊奇了,以及题干提供的两段首句句意:当他打开门时,一位女店员跑向他;这两个男人互相点头然后各自离开。由此可见,续写这篇文章时,第一段描述了当作者丈夫遭遇同样的尴尬局面时,他们之前帮助过得那位男士也以同样的方式进行了回报,第二段描述这两位帮助过彼此的两位男士虽然没有过多的语言和行动表达情绪,但小小的善举就足以使人倍感温暖。根据前后文可推知,本篇文章主要是通过故事来表达自己的感想,内容积极和谐,可以依据此来战开合理想象。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑,尽量在使用有把握的词句的基础上合理使用一些高级词汇和句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面报道要点齐全,故事连贯,使用了一定数量的句式结构是橘子生动饱满,同时也运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高了文章档次,提现了对英语的综合运用能力。例如:As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him.使用了时间状语从句;With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. 使用了宾语从句; I was touched and lost in thought.使用了被动语态; In a world where distance means safety, it's refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it's only at a local Subway.使用了定语从句和让步状语从句等。

One of the beautiful self-portraits by famous artist Raphael was drawn at the age of 23. It measures around 45cm×33cm and is located at the world-famous Uffizi Gallery.

"Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk" is a self-portrait of da Vinci at the age of 60 and measures around 33.3cm×21.6cm, which is on display in Biblioteca Reale, Turin, Italy. It is drawn with red chalk on paper and represents the head of an elderly man in a three-quarter view. In the portrait, the length of the hair is uncommon in Renaissance (文艺复兴) portraits.
Rembrandt van Rijn—"Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-up Collar", 1659
Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn painted his self-portrait in 1659 when he was 53 years old. It shows his worried expression that clearly portrays the troubled condition of his mind at that point of his life since the year 1659 was a year of anxiety for him. This self-portrait found its place among the Benjamin Altman Collection, which has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art since 1913.
Edgar Degas—"Degas Au Porte-Fusain", 1855
Edgar Degas made this self-portrait only when he was twenty-one years old. It was one of the most remarkable of his fifteen self-portraits. Degas was seated as seemingly without fear and anxiety. The pose in the painting was formal and academic. The painting is located in the musée d'Orsay, Paris, France.
21.Where should visitors go if they want to admire Raphael's self-portrait in 1506
A.Uffizi Gallery.

Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek has been honored with this year's Templeton Prize. The award recognizes individuals whose life's work brings together science and spirituality.
Wilczek is known for his research into the laws of nature. In a statement, the John Templeton Foundation said his work changes "our understanding of the forces that govern our universe." It said he used physics to address "the great questions of meaning and purpose pondered by generations of religious thinkers."
John Templeton created the prize in 1972. It is one of the most highly valued prizes at more than $1.3 million. Past winners include Jane Goodall, Mother Teresa and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Wilczek told The Associated Press, "It's a company I'm very glad to join in." He added, "It's encouragement in a direction that I've really only taken up in a big way quite recently... which is thinking about not just what the world is and how it came to be this way but what we should do about it."
Over a long career, Wilczek had many successes. He won the 2004 Nobel Prize along with David J. Gross, and H. David Politzer for their 1973 research explaining the unusual properties of the strong force. Wilczek is currently a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Arizona State University and Stockholm University. He is also the founding director of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's T. D. Lee Institute. He has also written several books that are informed by science but look into spiritual and philosophical questions.
Heather Dill is the Templeton Foundation president. In a statement, she said, "Like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, he is a natural philosopher who unites a curiosity about the behavior of nature with a playful and profound philosophical mind."

While temperatures continue to climb, visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border. The park is known as the hottest place on Earth. This past weekend, the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃. Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.
Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.
Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue. While park rangers (护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need, it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time.
Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted. Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, "It's very hot especially when there's a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face."
Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service's website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.
Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists. Badwater Basin, made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America. The 183-meter Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2,000 years. And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot.
Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. "It's hot, but the scenery is awesome," he said.
28.What do most visitors do in Death Valley
A.Cool themselves in time.
B.Do lots of physical exercises.
C.Stay away from park rangers.
D.Carry dryers with themselves.
29.Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2
A.To encourage the elderly to travel more.
B.To express admiration for mountain climbers.
C.To advise people to tour Death Valley more often.
D.To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley.
30.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley
A.Its covering area.
B.Its attractive spots.
C.The reason why it is so hot.
D.The service of its website.
31.What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs
A.It has a short history.
B.It is worth visiting.
C.It draws fewer and fewer tourists.
D.It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise.

29.推断题。根据第二段Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.其来自公园管理局的早期信息显示,在全国424个国家公园中,今年至少有4人思域与高温有关的原因,其中包括一名来自圣地亚哥的65岁男子,本月早些时候,他被发现死于死亡谷,可知作者提及这个65岁死在Death Valley的男士是为了证明在高温天气下到Death Valley旅游的危险,故选D。
30.推断题。根据第五段Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service's website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.公园管理局的网站上说,死亡谷是一个狭窄的区域,低于海平面,被高山环绕。干燥的空气和小的植物覆盖让阳光加热了公园的表面。热量随后被困在山谷中,可知该段主要讲述Death Valley形成高温天气的原因,故选C。
31.推断题。根据第六段Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists.尽管如此,死亡谷的几个地区仍然吸引着游客,和第七段Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. "It's hot, but the scenery is awesome," he said.来自印第安纳波利斯的游客(Josh Miller目前已经去过20个国家公园,他也有同感。"天气很热,但风景很棒,"他说,可知该两段主要讲述去Death Valley旅游依然很受欢迎,值得一起,故选B。

Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.
California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey's AeroFarms and Kentucky's AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.
The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. "The fact that some people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to," he said.
Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call "controlled environment agriculture". There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lights and with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.
Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.
But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, "It's just hard to be very profitable."
32.What is Jacob Portillo's attitude to the indoor food growing industry
A.Positive. B.Worried. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful.
33.What can we learn about indoor farming
A.It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants.
B.It means growing plants in water instead of soil.
C.It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather.
D.It is different from controlled environment agriculture.
34.Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations
A.They produce little food. B.They carry great cost.
C.They need sunlight. D.They lack investors.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors

How to Learn Several Languages at a Time
Learning a new language is a challenging and wonderfully rewarding experience. At some point, you may find yourself needing or wanting to learn several languages at the same time. 36. However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you're learning.
37. If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. An easier language will be one that is similar to your native language or another language that you know, while a more difficult language will be one that is less similar.
Make one language your priority. 38. This way, at the end of your hard work, you are more likely to be skilled in at least one of your languages, rather than only knowing a small amount of each of them.
Translate between the languages you're learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language. 39.
Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website. Several language-learning apps and websites, such as Duolingo, Memrise, Clozemaster, Anki and Lingvist allow you to add several languages at once. 40. This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.
A. This process can be very difficult.
B. Choose languages that vary in difficulty.
C. Study the same topic in all of the languages.
D. You can use a website to find a group like this.
E. This can help you understand the languages on a deeper level.
F. It is helpful to give one of the languages the most time and attention.
G. Download an app, and then add all of your languages, if they are available on it.

G. Download an app, and then add all of your languages, if they are available on it.下载一个应用程序,然后添加你所有的语言,如果它上有可用的语言。

36.根据下文However, it also allows you to challenge your brain and take advantage of the similarities and differences between the languages you're learning. 然而,它也允许你挑战你的大脑,并利用你正在学习的语言之间的异同,可知前后句应存在转折关系,下句谈论学习语言的好处,上句就该谈论其不足或困难之处,故选A。
37.根据下文If you have a choice, choose to learn one language that is easier for you, and another or others that are more difficult. 如果你可以选择,选择一种对你来说比较容易的语言,以及另一种或其他更难的语言,可知该段讲述如何选择不同难度的语言来进行学习,故选B。
38.根据上文Make one language your priority优先选择一门语言,可以下文讲述优先选择一门语言的好处,故选F。
39.根据上文Translate between the languages you're learning. One way to keep all the languages you are learning active in your mind is to try translating between them, rather than translating them back to your native language.在你正在学习的语言之间进行翻译,让你正在学习的所有语言在你的脑海中保持活跃的一个方法是尝试在它们之间进行翻译,而不是将它们翻译回你的母语,可知此段讲述如何通过各种语言互译的方式进行更好地进行多种语言的学习,因此该句讲述这样学习的好处和作用,故选E。
40.根据上文Add all of the languages to a language-learning app or website将所有的语言添加到语言学习应用程序或网站上,和下文 This way, when you are on-the-go, you have quick access to a way to study any of the languages you are trying to learn.通过这种方法,当你忙碌的时候,你可以快速找到一种方法来学习你想学的任何语言,可知该句讲述如何具体使用app这种方法来进行多种语言学习,故选G。

八、第四部分,写作,第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
About a month ago, my husband and I found kindness in an unlikely place: standing in line at a Subway sandwich shop to pick up a quick dinner.
It was extremely busy on this particular night, and I noticed a dad behind us with his little girl, who looked to be around four. The man seemed as tired as my husband, but the little girl was cheerful and excited as she waited for her sandwich and cookie.
I watched as the man behind us got closer to the front of the line. He started to look worried. Right before we checked out, I heard the man say to the woman who had made his sandwiches that he was sorry to just leave his out because he didn't have enough money to pay for them all. He looked very embarrassed. His little girl continued jumping around excitedly.
I quietly asked the cashier to add the man's whole order to ours. I paid the $87.73, and we got out of there before the man behind us knew what had happened.
Like many others since COVID-19 hit, our family of five was living on one income. I was holding our debit card(and knew that we only had $90.16 in our account. That was all we would have until payday three days later. But still, it felt great to be able to help that family, even though we would be out of money for a few days.
What happened next was amazing. My husband went back to that Subway the next week to pick up five sandwiches that I thought would cost $44.58. There was $47 in our account. But it turned out that the dinner cost more than we had on the card. My husband told them to put his sandwich back because he couldn't afford it. Then he paid for the four sandwiches and headed to our car.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him.
……
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way.
【答案】As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him. When he was confusedly wondering what she was for, the worker handed him his sandwich. Without a word, she ran back into the store. With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. About two minutes later, he was getting ready to leave when he saw the same man and little girl from a week earlier. At that moment, my husband knew what had happened.
The two men nodded at one another and went on their way. Although they didn't say a word to each other, gratitude took roots in their hearts. They made sure for the second time that they both left the store with dinner for their families. My husband told me what had happened on arriving home. I was touched and lost in thought. In a world where distance means safety, it's refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it's only at a local Subway.
【知识点】读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,讲述了作者和丈夫在地铁站购买三明治时,遇到一位带着孩子来购买三明治和饼干的男士,当这位男士没有足够的钱支付时,尽管作者和丈夫因疫情导致收入并不富足,但他们依然为他支付了账单,但后面二人也遭遇了没有足够的前支付账单的尴尬情况。根据文中最后一段内容的第一句What happened next was amazing接下来发生的事真是太令人惊奇了,以及题干提供的两段首句句意:当他打开门时,一位女店员跑向他;这两个男人互相点头然后各自离开。由此可见,续写这篇文章时,第一段描述了当作者丈夫遭遇同样的尴尬局面时,他们之前帮助过得那位男士也以同样的方式进行了回报,第二段描述这两位帮助过彼此的两位男士虽然没有过多的语言和行动表达情绪,但小小的善举就足以使人倍感温暖。根据前后文可推知,本篇文章主要是通过故事来表达自己的感想,内容积极和谐,可以依据此来战开合理想象。写作时注意准确运用时态,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑,尽量在使用有把握的词句的基础上合理使用一些高级词汇和句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面报道要点齐全,故事连贯,使用了一定数量的句式结构是橘子生动饱满,同时也运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高了文章档次,提现了对英语的综合运用能力。例如:As he opened the door, one of the female workers ran to him.使用了时间状语从句;With a grateful heart, he assumed that the lady had just given it to him. 使用了宾语从句; I was touched and lost in thought.使用了被动语态; In a world where distance means safety, it's refreshing and soul-lifting when someone does something kind for you, even if it's only at a local Subway.使用了定语从句和让步状语从句等。
