We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
4. What problem did the writer face after accepting the order
A. It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline. B. The sewing girls were called out on strike.
C. She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris. D. There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
5. What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Raw materials. B. More orders. C. The forty sweaters. D. The special stitch.
6. How did the writer deal with the show problem
A. She put off the show. B. She showed the clothes unfinished.
C. She employed more sewing girls. D. She completed the clothes in a hurry.
7. Which of the following might the writer agree with
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Like father, like son.
C. Easier said than done. D. All roads lead to Rome.
C
An amazing human-like robot that had been programmed to socially interact with human companions tricked people into thinking that the machine had independent ideas of its own, according to a new study. The robot named “iCub” is a child-size human-like robot created by the Italian Institute of Technology to study social interactions between humans and robots. Standing 3.6 feet tall, iCub with camera eyes can complete complex tasks and imitate (模仿) human behaviors.
In the new study, researchers programmed iCub to interact with human participants as they watched a series of short videos. The participants were divided into two groups. In one trial, involving Group 1, iCub was programmed to behave in a human-like manner, greeting participants as they entered the room, and reacting to videos with sounds of joy, surprise, etc. In the other trial, involving Group 2, iCub’s programming directed it to behave more like a machine, ignoring nearby humans and merely making typical robotic beeping sounds.
The researchers found that people who were exposed to the more human-like version of iCub were more likely to view it with a perspective (视角) known as “the intentional stance”, meaning they believed that the robot had its own thoughts and desires, while those who were exposed to the less human-like version of iCub viewed it as just a programmed robot. The researchers had expected that this would happen but were “very surprised” by how well it worked. “The iCub robot does have a limited capacity to “learn” like a neural (神经的) network, but it is far from being self-aware”, the researchers said.
“These findings show that humans can form social connections with robots. This could have implications for the use of robots in healthcare, especially for elderly patients”, the researchers said. “However, there is still much to learn about human-robot interactions and social bonding. The research in this field requires thousands of experiments and social recognition, so there is a long way to go”, Professor Ann Williams warned.
8. What’s the purpose of the iCub robot trial
A To draw people’s attention to the Italian Institute of Technology.
B. To study social interactions between humans and robots.
C. To show how iCub reacts to people’s different behaviors.
D. To trick people into thinking robots have independent ideas.
9. What’s the impression of Group 1 human participants about iCub
A. It has self-awareness.
B. It is just an AI robot.
C. It is far from being intelligent.
D. It is quite capable of communicating.
10. What do the researchers think of their findings
A. They could pose a threat to social bonding.
B. They will urge people to form social connections.
C. They may have practical applications in daily life.
D. They will accelerate the process of human-robot communication.
11. What is professor Ann Williams’ attitude toward the study
A. Pessimistic. B. Cautious. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
D
The idea that humans are facing a global extinction of experience of nature is popular, but is it true To give more light on this issue, the scientists measured how the average distance from an individual’s home to the nearest area with low human impact changed in the last decade.
The scientists found that humans currently live 9.7 kilometers away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000. Europe and East Asia have the highest average distance to natural areas, such as 22 kilometers in Germany and 16 kilometers in France. The scientists also showed that tree cover within cities has declined worldwide since 2000, suggesting that the possibility for the urban population to access green spaces is reducing as well.
The scientists also systematically searched for scientific publications assessing a trend in experiences of nature, finding that the number of studies assessing these trends was very low (the number is 18), most of which are about the US, Europe and Japan. This shows that more studies should investigate the claim about the extinction of nature experience, especially in Africa and Latin America. The 18 studies found by the scientists show a decline in visits to nature parks in the US and Japan, a decrease in camping activities in the US, and a decrease in the number of flower species observed by Japanese children. They also find signs of decline in the use of natural elements in novels, songs and cartoons.
Despite these examples of decline, other interactions are increasing. Watching wildlife documentaries or interacting with wild animals in videogames is, for example, more common than a few years ago. “New ways of digitally interacting with nature have certainly emerged or increased in recent years,” says Dr Gladys Barragan-Jason. “But several former studies show that these vicarious interactions have a lesser effect on our sense of connection with nature than exposure to nature, such as visiting nature parks.”
12. How does the author mainly develop the text
A. By giving examples and making contrast.
B. By listing data and classifying them.
C. By giving examples and definitions.
D. By analyzing data and making comparison.
13. The scientists showed several signs of decline in .
A. the distance between humans and nature
B. the connection between humans and wild animals
C. reading novels, singing songs and watching cartoons
D. tree cover, visits to nature parks and nature presence in the arts
14. What does the underlined word “vicarious” in the last paragraph mean
A. Positive. B. Novel. C. Indirect. D. Complex.
15 What can be a suitable title of the text
A. Global Extinction of Green Spaces. B. Decline in Experiences of Nature.
C. The Lost Joy in the Natural World. D. A New Way of Connecting With Nature.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。
The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment _____16_____ Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. ___17___
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
___18___ Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. _____19_____ As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
___20___ In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A. The main cause is financial pressure.
B. Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C. The government has increased funding for higher education.
D. They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E. Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F. Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G. So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.

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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
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。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. I saw twisting streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square.”
Father’s words always guided me. Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer, I came to Paris, but without luck. Then one day I met a friend wearing a beautiful sweater. “What an interesting stitch!” I cried. “It was done by Mrs. Vidian,” my friend explained. “She learned the stitch in Armenia, her native country.” Suddenly I had a daring idea. Why not design, make and sell my own clothes
I drew a butterfly pattern and asked Mrs. Vidian to knit it into a sweater. It proved a success. A New York store wanted 40 sweaters to be ready in two weeks. I accepted the order. My happiness disappeared, however, when Mrs. Vidian told me it took her almost a week to knit one sweater.
I was crushed. Then I remembered father’s words. There must be other Armenian women in Paris who mastered the special stitch. Then I searched for any Armenians living in Paris. At last I tracked down several. Two weeks later, the first shipment was on its way to the United States!
From that day on orders poured in. Then came another test. As I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions, the sewing girls were called out on strike. Where was the way out this time I wondered and worried. Then it dawned on me.
I worked hurriedly. And right on time, my show took place. Some coats had no sleeves; some were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth, but on these I attached material to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished. What a show! Once again father’s words helped me.
4. What problem did the writer face after accepting the order
A. It was impossible for Vidian to meet the deadline. B. The sewing girls were called out on strike.
C. She found it hard to track Armenians living in Paris. D. There was a shortage of suitable cloth.
5. What do the underlined words “the first shipment” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. Raw materials. B. More orders. C. The forty sweaters. D. The special stitch.
6. How did the writer deal with the show problem
A. She put off the show. B. She showed the clothes unfinished.
C. She employed more sewing girls. D. She completed the clothes in a hurry.
7. Which of the following might the writer agree with
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Like father, like son.
C. Easier said than done. D. All roads lead to Rome.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了父亲说过的“通往广场的路不止一条”的话一直在指引着作者，帮助作者度过一次次难关。

C
An amazing human-like robot that had been programmed to socially interact with human companions tricked people into thinking that the machine had independent ideas of its own, according to a new study. The robot named “iCub” is a child-size human-like robot created by the Italian Institute of Technology to study social interactions between humans and robots. Standing 3.6 feet tall, iCub with camera eyes can complete complex tasks and imitate (模仿) human behaviors.
In the new study, researchers programmed iCub to interact with human participants as they watched a series of short videos. The participants were divided into two groups. In one trial, involving Group 1, iCub was programmed to behave in a human-like manner, greeting participants as they entered the room, and reacting to videos with sounds of joy, surprise, etc. In the other trial, involving Group 2, iCub’s programming directed it to behave more like a machine, ignoring nearby humans and merely making typical robotic beeping sounds.
The researchers found that people who were exposed to the more human-like version of iCub were more likely to view it with a perspective (视角) known as “the intentional stance”, meaning they believed that the robot had its own thoughts and desires, while those who were exposed to the less human-like version of iCub viewed it as just a programmed robot. The researchers had expected that this would happen but were “very surprised” by how well it worked. “The iCub robot does have a limited capacity to “learn” like a neural (神经的) network, but it is far from being self-aware”, the researchers said.
“These findings show that humans can form social connections with robots. This could have implications for the use of robots in healthcare, especially for elderly patients”, the researchers said. “However, there is still much to learn about human-robot interactions and social bonding. The research in this field requires thousands of experiments and social recognition, so there is a long way to go”, Professor Ann Williams warned.
8. What’s the purpose of the iCub robot trial
A. To draw people’s attention to the Italian Institute of Technology.
B To study social interactions between humans and robots.
C. To show how iCub reacts to people’s different behaviors.
D. To trick people into thinking robots have independent ideas.
9. What’s the impression of Group 1 human participants about iCub
A. It has self-awareness.
B. It is just an AI robot.
C. It is far from being intelligent.
D. It is quite capable of communicating.
10. What do the researchers think of their findings
A. They could pose a threat to social bonding.
B. They will urge people to form social connections.
C. They may have practical applications in daily life.
D. They will accelerate the process of human-robot communication.
11. What is professor Ann Williams’ attitude toward the study
A. Pessimistic. B. Cautious. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用于研究人类与机器人之间的社会互动的机器人iCub，它拥有摄像头的眼睛，并可以完成复杂的任务并模仿人类的行为。

The idea that humans are facing a global extinction of experience of nature is popular, but is it true To give more light on this issue, the scientists measured how the average distance from an individual’s home to the nearest area with low human impact changed in the last decade.
The scientists found that humans currently live 9.7 kilometers away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000. Europe and East Asia have the highest average distance to natural areas, such as 22 kilometers in Germany and 16 kilometers in France. The scientists also showed that tree cover within cities has declined worldwide since 2000, suggesting that the possibility for the urban population to access green spaces is reducing as well.
The scientists also systematically searched for scientific publications assessing a trend in experiences of nature, finding that the number of studies assessing these trends was very low (the number is 18), most of which are about the US, Europe and Japan. This shows that more studies should investigate the claim about the extinction of nature experience, especially in Africa and Latin America. The 18 studies found by the scientists show a decline in visits to nature parks in the US and Japan, a decrease in camping activities in the US, and a decrease in the number of flower species observed by Japanese children. They also find signs of decline in the use of natural elements in novels, songs and cartoons.
Despite these examples of decline, other interactions are increasing. Watching wildlife documentaries or interacting with wild animals in videogames is, for example, more common than a few years ago. “New ways of digitally interacting with nature have certainly emerged or increased in recent years,” says Dr Gladys Barragan-Jason. “But several former studies show that these vicarious interactions have a lesser effect on our sense of connection with nature than exposure to nature, such as visiting nature parks.”
12. How does the author mainly develop the text
A. By giving examples and making contrast.
B. By listing data and classifying them.
C. By giving examples and definitions.
D. By analyzing data and making comparison.
13. The scientists showed several signs of decline in .
A. the distance between humans and nature
B. the connection between humans and wild animals
C. reading novels, singing songs and watching cartoons
D. tree cover, visits to nature parks and nature presence in the arts
14. What does the underlined word “vicarious” in the last paragraph mean
A. Positive. B. Novel. C. Indirect. D. Complex.
15. What can be a suitable title of the text
A. Global Extinction of Green Spaces. B. Decline in Experiences of Nature.
C. The Lost Joy in the Natural World. D. A New Way of Connecting With Nature.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类接触自然的情况减少了。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“The scientists found that humans currently live 9.7 kilometers away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000. Europe and East Asia have the highest average distance to natural areas, such as 22 kilometers in Germany and 16 kilometers in France.(科学家们发现，目前人类居住的地方平均距离自然区域9.7公里，比2000年增加了7% 。欧洲和东亚到自然区域的平均距离最远，如德国为22公里，法国为16公里)”可知，此处用了对比的方法，根据第三段中“The 18 studies found by the scientists show a decline in visits to nature parks in the US and Japan, a decrease in camping activities in the US, and a decrease in the number of flower species observed by Japanese children. They also find signs of decline in the use of natural elements in novels, songs and cartoons.(科学家们发现的18项研究表明，在美国和日本，参观自然公园的人数减少了，在美国露营活动减少了，日本儿童观察到的花卉种类也减少了。他们还发现了自然元素在小说、歌曲和卡通中使用减少的迹象)”和最后一段中“Despite these examples of decline, other interactions are increasing. Watching wildlife documentaries or interacting with wild animals in videogames is, for example, more common than a few years ago.(尽管有这些衰退的例子，其他的相互作用正在增加。例如，观看野生动物纪录片或在电子游戏中与野生动物互动比几年前更加普遍)”可知，此处用了举例子的方法，由此可推知，作者是通过举例子和作比较的方法来展开讲述这篇文章的，故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The scientists also showed that tree cover within cities has declined worldwide since 2000, suggesting that the possibility for the urban population to access green spaces is reducing as well.(科学家们还表明，自2000年以来，世界各地城市内的树木覆盖率都在下降，这表明城市人口进入绿地的可能性也在下降)”和第三段中“The 18 studies found by the scientists show a decline in visits to nature parks in the US and Japan, a decrease in camping activities in the US, and a decrease in the number of flower species observed by Japanese children. They also find signs of decline in the use of natural elements in novels, songs and cartoons.(科学家们发现的18项研究表明，在美国和日本，参观自然公园的人数减少了，在美国露营活动减少了，日本儿童观察到的花卉种类也减少了。他们还发现了自然元素在小说、歌曲和卡通中使用减少的迹象)”可知，科学家们发现了一些树木覆盖率下降，参观自然公园的人数减少，以及自然在艺术中的使用也减少了，故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“New ways of digitally interacting with nature have certainly emerged or increased in recent years(近年来，与大自然进行数字互动的新方式无疑已经出现或增加)”和划线单词所在句子“But several former studies show that these vicarious interactions have a lesser effect on our sense of connection with nature than exposure to nature, such as visiting nature parks.(但是一些以前的研究表明，这些vicarious互动对我们与自然的联系的影响要小于接触自然的影响，例如参观自然公园。)”可知，我们参观自然，这是与自然的直接互动，这种互动对自然的影响要大于与大自然进行数字互动的新方式，因为与大自然进行数字互动的新方式是间接接触自然，并不是直接接触自然，由此可知，划线单词vicarious意为“间接的”，与C项“Indirect.(间接的)”意思一致，其他选项A. Positive.积极的；B. Novel.新颖的；D. Complex复杂的。均不符合语境，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The idea that humans are facing a global extinction of experience of nature is popular, but is it true To give more light on this issue, the scientists measured how the average distance from an individual’s home to the nearest area with low human impact changed in the last decade.(人类正面临全球体验自然灭绝，这样的观点很流行，但这是真的吗？为了给这个问题提供更多的解释，科学家们测量了在过去的十年中，从一个人的家到最近的受人类影响较小的地区的平均距离是如何变化的)”和第二段中“The scientists found that humans currently live 9.7 kilometers away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000.(科学家们发现，目前人类居住的地方平均距离自然区域9.7公里，比2000年增加7%)”，第三段中“The scientists also systematically searched for scientific publications assessing a trend in experiences of nature, finding that the number of studies assessing these trends was very low (the number is 18), most of which are about the US, Europe and Japan. (科学家们还系统地搜索评估自然体验趋势的科学出版物，发现评估这些趋势的研究数量非常少（只有18项），其中大部分是关于美国、欧洲和日本的)”可知，第一段提出人类接触自然的情况越来越少，接着文章用事实证明了这一观点，由此可推知，文章主要介绍了人类接触自然的情况减少了，B项“Decline in Experiences of Nature(体验自然的衰落)”适合做文章标题，故选B。

The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment _____16_____ Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. ___17___
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
___18___ Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. _____19_____ As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
___20___ In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A. The main cause is financial pressure.
B. Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C. The government has increased funding for higher education.
D. They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F. Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G. So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.

【20题详解】
根据前文“To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.（总之，由于经济困难，许多年轻人在上学或上大学的时候就找工作，这对他们的生活有积极的或消极的影响。）”以及下文“In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.（通过这种方式，就业的学生毕业后在职业道路方面可以获得明显的优势。）”可知，我们要协调好挣钱与学业之间的平衡。G选项“So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.”（所以应该给予指导，帮助他们在学习和工作之间保持适当的平衡。）符合题意，故选G项。

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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
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。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!”
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.
