“Is there anything you want from Grandma’s flat ” My uncle, texting me, last week.
His mum had passed away. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings. I required zero thinking time. Yes, I would like her aloe vera (芦荟) plant, please.
Here’s why. Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant as a gift. It came courtesy (礼仪) of the local butcher in recognition of her loyal custom. It could, I suppose, just as likely have been a calendar, or a fountain pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a pot plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son. And had me.
When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma revealed to me how this particular plant was different to the dozens of others she had in her home. This one had history. It was, she suggested, a living, blooming representation of the relationship that existed between the two sides of my family. As, indeed, was I.
Aloe vera is reasonably hardy, but, as I’ve learned, if you put it above a radiator, it dies. If you under-water it, it dies. If you over-water it, it dies. In short, with my awful agricultural skills, I’m better off with a plastic one. So, straight after I asked my uncle for this treasure, I put in place an insurance policy: the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law.
Ann, is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to care for its cuttings properly. Meantime, Ann will spread cuttings and clippings among her own family. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both far better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite conceivable that they, too, will spread cuttings of the plant around their partners’ families; that this humble plant might yet spread across my entire extended family. What an amazing outcome!
4. Why did the butcher give my Grandma the aloe vera plant
A. To contribute to the marriage.
B. To observe a specific custom.
C. To show the butcher’s loyalty.
D. To appreciate her regular visits.
5. Which of the following can best describe grandma
A. She is a garden enthusiast. B. She is loyal to her friends.
C. She is a local shop keeper. D. She is ready to help others.
6. What can we learn about the author according to paragraph 5
A. He is skilled at agricultural planting.
B. He has a preference for plastic plants
C. He is confident in feeding the plant himself.
D. He is anxious to keep the plant alive.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. An amazing outcome B. A family tree
C. A family history D. Green fingers
C
First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
First aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury , for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪)。
Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious (有意识的), should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for the medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for assessing a victims condition is known by ABC, which stands for:
A — Airway: is it open and clear
B — Breathing: is the person breathing Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C — Circulation: is there a pulse Is the person bleeding extremely
Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
8. Before we give first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ___________________.
A. make sure what to do and what not to do B. refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C. remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing D. take him/her to a hospital at once
9. According to this article, first aid is usually provided by _______________
A. professional doctors B. the victim’s family members
C. the victim’s friends D. those who are not necessarily professional doctors
10. Which of the following is NOT true when you assess a victim’s condition
A. Checking whether there is a pulse. B. Looking, listening and feeling for breathing.
C. Replacing his/her medical card. D. Examining whether the airway is open and clear.
11. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers___________.
A. the importance of protecting the accident scene. B. some basic knowledge about first aid.
C. what professional medical help is. D. who can give first aid.

This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.
Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.
In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.
The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.
However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.
12. What can we learn about MusicLM
A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched.
B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.
C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words.
D. It generates complex writings from a simple description.
13. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM
A. They can take the place of musicians. B. They have gained commercial success.
C. They don't have any practical use in life. D. They are based on huge amounts of data.
14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model
A. Creating music with strong biases. B. Requiring too much training data.
C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. The future of humans with AI B. A new AI tool to make music
C. Music created by some AI tools D. AI and its function in culture development

Farah was checking the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her special friends for a party.
“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa ” her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend who lived across the street but now Farah had made new friends. “Mother, I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have rules about friends,” Farah answered hesitantly. “What rules ” her mother asked sarcastically (讽刺地).
“Only very pretty girls can be in our group. Hafsa is ... dark. I can’t be seen with her. It’s bad for my image.” “Farah, I can’t believe you base your friendship on appearance rather than character. I had expected better judgment from you than this nonsense,” her mother retorted (反驳) angrily.
Farah sank into silence In her heart she knew her mother was right. Sometimes she too felt uncomfortable with her “cool” friends.
Just then, her father called, “Farah, come here.” Farah went and paled when she saw the report card in his hands.
“Farah, how come you failed each subject You were my pride.” Her father questioned.
She hated to see such look of disappointment in his eyes. The truth was that the Club left her with little time for studies. The girls got together almost daily for movies, shopping, and partying. It had seemed like so much fun but now it left a bitter taste in her mouth.
“Farah ” her father asked again , but Farah just hung her head in shame and did not answer.
“Farah, you shall take supplementary (补考) papers next month.”
Knowing how strict her father could be, Farah went to her room and opened her copies.
Seeing her homework filled with red crosses, Farah felt awfully terrible. How could she have neglected(忽视)her studies so much
She called Gina, the leader of the Club. “Gina, can you lend me your copies I need them to complete my notes for the exams.” Gina erupted into laughter. “Exams Who cares Farah. There are other ways of passing them.” Farah replaced the phone quickly. Even in desperation, she could never cheat.

“Is there anything you want from Grandma’s flat ” My uncle, texting me, last week.
His mum had passed away. He’d begun the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings. I required zero thinking time. Yes, I would like her aloe vera (芦荟) plant, please.
Here’s why. Sometime around 1975, Grandma received this plant as a gift. It came courtesy (礼仪) of the local butcher in recognition of her loyal custom. It could, I suppose, just as likely have been a calendar, or a fountain pen, or a box of biscuits. But it just happened to be a pot plant, which Grandma, who always had green fingers, appreciated and placed in her doorway. Five years later, my mum married the butcher’s son. And had me.
When my father’s mother died in 1993, Grandma revealed to me how this particular plant was different to the dozens of others she had in her home. This one had history. It was, she suggested, a living, blooming representation of the relationship that existed between the two sides of my family. As, indeed, was I.
Aloe vera is reasonably hardy, but, as I’ve learned, if you put it above a radiator, it dies. If you under-water it, it dies. If you over-water it, it dies. In short, with my awful agricultural skills, I’m better off with a plastic one. So, straight after I asked my uncle for this treasure, I put in place an insurance policy: the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law.
Ann, is a genius with a greenhouse. The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to care for its cuttings properly. Meantime, Ann will spread cuttings and clippings among her own family. My wife’s two sisters, for example, are both far better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite conceivable that they, too, will spread cuttings of the plant around their partners’ families; that this humble plant might yet spread across my entire extended family. What an amazing outcome!
4. Why did the butcher give my Grandma the aloe vera plant
A. To contribute to the marriage.
B. To observe a specific custom.
C. To show the butcher’s loyalty.
D. To appreciate her regular visits.
5. Which of the following can best describe grandma
A She is a garden enthusiast. B. She is loyal to her friends.
C. She is a local shop keeper. D. She is ready to help others.
6. What can we learn about the author according to paragraph 5
A He is skilled at agricultural planting.
B. He has a preference for plastic plants
C. He is confident in feeding the plant himself.
D. He is anxious to keep the plant alive.
7. What is the best title of the passage
A. An amazing outcome B. A family tree
C. A family history D. Green fingers
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】

First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. First aid may save a life or improve certain vital signs including pulse, temperature, a clear airway, and breathing. In minor emergencies, first aid may prevent a victim’s condition from worsening and provide relief from pain. First aid must be given as quickly as possible. In the case of seriously injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.
First aid measures depend upon a victim’s needs and provider’s level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. Improperly moving a person with a neck injury , for example, can lead to permanent spinal (脊柱的) injury and paralysis (瘫痪)。
Despite the variety of injuries possible, several basic rules of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious (有意识的), should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and ask for permission to provide any first aid. Next, assess the scene, asking other people or the injured person’s family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and preexisting conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病) or heart trouble. The victim should be checked for the medical card that describes special medical conditions. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.
First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether life-threatening conditions exist. One method for assessing a victims condition is known by ABC, which stands for:
A — Airway: is it open and clear
B — Breathing: is the person breathing Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
C — Circulation: is there a pulse Is the person bleeding extremely
Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.
8. Before we give first aid to a victim, it is very important for us to ___________________.
A. make sure what to do and what not to do B. refer to all kinds of handbooks on first aid
C. remove the ring or bracelet he/she may be wearing D. take him/her to a hospital at once
9. According to this article, first aid is usually provided by _______________
A. professional doctors B. the victim’s family members
C. the victim’s friends D. those who are not necessarily professional doctors
10. Which of the following is NOT true when you assess a victim’s condition
A. Checking whether there is a pulse. B. Looking, listening and feeling for breathing.
C. Replacing his/her medical card. D. Examining whether the airway is open and clear.
11. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers___________.
A. the importance of protecting the accident scene. B. some basic knowledge about first aid.
C. what professional medical help is. D. who can give first aid.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B

推理判断题。根据第一段中的First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available.可知，急救是对突发疾病或受伤的受害者的紧急护理，直到有更熟练的医疗手段可使用。由此可推断出，急救通常由那些不一定是专业医生的人提供。故选D。

This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.
Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno (高科技舞曲)”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences.
In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds ...” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it.
The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.
However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data.
12. What can we learn about MusicLM
A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched.
B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences.
C. It creates music based on simple descriptive words.
D. It generates complex writings from a simple description.
13. What is the similarity between ChatGPT and MusicLM
A. They can take the place of musicians. B. They have gained commercial success.
C. They don't have any practical use in life. D. They are based on huge amounts of data.
14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model
A. Creating music with strong biases. B. Requiring too much training data.
C. Being difficult for some people to use. D. Producing music works with no creativity.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. The future of humans with AI B. A new AI tool to make music
C. Music created by some AI tools D. AI and its function in culture development
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌研发了一种叫做MusicLM的AI智能工具，这种AI工具可以根据书面描述和其他输入创建音乐。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.(但谷歌提供的例子展示了基于有限的描述性词语的音乐创作能力。)”和第二段中“Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one- or two-word descriptions, such as ‘jazz’, ‘rock’ or ‘techno (高科技舞曲)’. (MusicLM制作的几个不同的音乐示例在网上发布。一些生成的音乐仅来自一两个词的描述，如‘爵士’、‘摇滚’或‘科技’。)”可知，关于MusicLM我们能了解到它能根据简单的描述词创作音乐。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. (这些工具可以产生类似人类的结果，因为它们经过了大量数据的训练。)”可知， ChatGPT和MusicLM之间的相似之处是它们都是基于大量的数据。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases (偏好) present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. (研究人员发现的最大问题之一是训练数据中存在的偏见。偏见可能是包括了太多的一方面，而没有足够的另一方面。)”可知，MusicLM模型的问题是创作带有强烈偏见的音乐。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. (本周，谷歌研究人员发表了一篇论文，描述了一种用于创作音乐的人工智能工具的结果。这个名为MusicLM的工具并不是第一个推出的人工智能音乐工具。)”并结合全文可知，本文讲述了谷歌研发出叫做MusicLM的AI智能工具，这种AI工具可以根据书面描述和其他输入创建音乐。选项B符合主题，故选B项。

Household chores like cooking, cleaning, washing the dishes, and making the bed are never done; they just get repeated like a broken record. Boring! ___16___. But there are science-based reasons for changing your attitude towards chores. It turns out that doing chores is great for your health.
___17___. As researchers state in a report, doing undemanding tasks allows the mind to wander. Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes. In fact, undemanding tasks stimulate (激发) more creative ideas than demanding tasks or just resting.
Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores. ___18___.
Finishing your chores can increase motivation. BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything, states that the most important skill is recognizing and celebrating pleting even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction. ___19___. Similarly, author Admiral William H. McRaven argues that if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
Chores are good for children’s mental health. Children develop a sense of ownership when they have jobs to do around the house and it makes them feel like they are an important member of the household. ___20___. In my own case, I bond with my daughter by gossiping (闲聊) and singing while we do chores together.
A. Chores are an opportunity for “me time”
B. Chores can lead to creative problem-solving
C. Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another
D. In this way, they can be taught to be independent and confident
E. Like many people, you may regard chores as something annoying

Your mind gets a break, which allows you to consider old problems with new eyes.(正如研究人员在一份报告中所说，做一些不费力的任务可以让人走神。你的大脑得到了休息，这让你可以用新的眼光来思考老问题)”可知，做一些要求不是很高的任务会让大脑得到休息，这样可以用新的思维考虑一些旧的问题。由此可知，此处讲述的是做家务之类的工作有助于解决问题，B选项“Chores can lead to creative problem-solving(家务琐事可以带来创造性的问题解决方法)”与空后的内容相吻合，且概括了本段的主题。故选B项。
【18题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处应是对上文内容的概括总结，根据空前的“They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those least engaged in chores.(他们发现，那些做家务最多的人患痴呆症的风险比那些做家务最少的人低21%)”可知，研究发现，做家务较多的人比较少做家务的人患上痴呆的概率要低21%，G选项“This result indicated simple changes could make a difference to health(这一结果表明，简单的改变就能对健康产生影响)”中的this result指代的为空前的研究发现，且讲述的内容与本段内容吻合。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据本段的主题句“Finishing your chores can increase motivation.(完成家务可以增加动机)”可知，本段讲述的是做琐碎的事情能增加你的动机，结合空前的“Completing even a small task, like making your bed, can give you a sense of satisfaction.(即使是完成一件小事，比如整理床铺，也能给你带来满足感)”可知，完成小事情能给人以满足感，C选项“Thus, you feel motivated to deal with tasks one after another(因此，你会感到有动力去处理一个接一个的任务)”中的thus表明，此处内容与空前内容为因果关系，符合逻辑，且与本段的主题句吻合。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了艺人熊传发如何发展和传承被列为非物质文化遗产的吹糖人艺术的。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：当34岁的熊传发在短短几分钟内从融化的麦芽糖中吹出一只栩栩如生的鹿时，孩子们惊讶地看着他，以为他是魔术师。空前有介词with，故空格处应该填入astonish的名词形式构成“介宾”结构。故填astonishment。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：20多年来，熊传发一直致力于吹糖人，这是一种有着600多年历史的中国传统民间艺术。根据句意和所给可数名词decade以及空格前的数词two可知，空格处应该填入decade的复数形式。故填decades。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：至今他的传统民间艺术已被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录。根据句意分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分，主语this traditional folk art和动词list为动宾关系，故需要用被动语态；根据句子的时间状语so far可知，句子应该用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been listed。
【39题详解】
考查不定式。句意：每天早上，熊准备好融化的糖浆，开车去南昌开始他的魔术表演。结合句意可知，空格处应该填入不定式形式表将来。故填to start。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：“很多人，尤其是孩子，都被这种糖艺术所吸引”熊说。分析句子可知，空格处应该填入particular的副词形式particularly，用来着重说明与同类事物不同的个别事物。故填particularly。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：熊说吹糖人的历史可以追溯到明朝（1368-1644），他的家族已经将这种文化遗产传承了四代。根据句意和空格前的连词and分析句子可知，空格后的句子是和前面that引导的宾语从句并列的宾语从句，所以空格处应该填入连词that，且that不能省略。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：熊的妻子王丽是一位糖画艺术家，糖画是中国传统民间艺术的一种形式。根据句意和句中的单数可数名词artist可知，空格处应该填入一个不定冠词a或an，表泛指“一个”；因为空格后的单词artist发音是元音音素开头，所以应该用an。故填an。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：熊的妻子王丽是一位糖画艺术家，糖画是中国传统民间艺术的一种形式。根据句意分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个非限制性定语从句，该定语从句缺少主语，所以空格处应该填入一个关系代词，代替前面的先行词sugar painting在从句中作主语。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：除了在集市上展示他们的技艺，这对夫妇还去了一些大学，让年轻人更融入传统艺术，让他们体验它的魅力。固定短语get involved in意为“融入；参加”，符合句意。故填involved。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“我们试图在传统工艺的基础上，将剪纸技艺与现代元素造型相结合，使之符合当下的潮流，同时达到美与品位的平衡。”熊说。分析句子可知，句子的主语是we，谓语部分是try to combine，所以所给动词make只能用非谓语形式；因为动词make和句子主语we之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词doing的形式。故填making。

47. 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。
Farah was checking the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her special friends for a party.
“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa ” her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend who lived across the street but now Farah had made new friends. “Mother, I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have rules about friends,” Farah answered hesitantly. “What rules ” her mother asked sarcastically (讽刺地).
“Only very pretty girls can be in our group. Hafsa is ... dark. I can’t be seen with her. It’s bad for my image.” “Farah, I can’t believe you base your friendship on appearance rather than character. I had expected better judgment from you than this nonsense,” her mother retorted (反驳) angrily.
Farah sank into silence. In her heart she knew her mother was right. Sometimes she too felt uncomfortable with her “cool” friends.
Just then, her father called, “Farah, come here.” Farah went and paled when she saw the report card in his hands.
“Farah, how come you failed each subject You were my pride.” Her father questioned.
She hated to see such look of disappointment in his eyes. The truth was that the Club left her with little time for studies. The girls got together almost daily for movies, shopping, and partying. It had seemed like so much fun but now it left a bitter taste in her mouth.
“Farah ” her father asked again , but Farah just hung her head in shame and did not answer.
“Farah, you shall take supplementary (补考) papers next month.”
Knowing how strict her father could be, Farah went to her room and opened her copies.
Seeing her homework filled with red crosses, Farah felt awfully terrible. How could she have neglected(忽视)her studies so much
She called Gina, the leader of the Club. “Gina, can you lend me your copies I need them to complete my notes for the exams.” Gina erupted into laughter. “Exams Who cares Farah. There are other ways of passing them.” Farah replaced the phone quickly. Even in desperation, she could never cheat.
One by one, she called her so-called friends but no one was willing to help.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Farah sat dejected on her bed, searching hard in her mind for other names she could turn to. “If only I hadn’t joined Purple Girls Club! How could I be so foolish as to base my friendship on appearance ” Farah sighed with regret. It was at that very moment that she remembered the happy days with her old friend Hafsa. Instantly Farah jumped to her feet and stormed out, knowing what to do next. On the way to Hafsa’s house across the street, Farah thought about ways to apologize. However, just as Hafsa opened the door, words failed her and tears ran down her face. Knowing what the matter was, Hafsa took out all her notes and promised to help her prepare for the supplementary exams.
Paragraph 2:
Next Monday, as the two old friends entered the school together, Gina saw them and called out haughtily(傲慢地). “Farah, don’t you remember our rules You can’t be friends with those not belonging to our club. ”Sorry , Gina. I have a new rule about friendship now. It is that a friend in need is a friend indeed.” Farah replied confidently and proudly. Without giving Gina a second look, Farah took hold of Hafsa’s had firmly and strode toward their classroom.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Farah因为结交了一群不爱学习，只喜欢吃喝玩乐的朋友而和老朋友Hafsa绝交，并且导致未能通过考试。她不得不参加下个月的补考，但当她需要帮助时，那群“朋友”没有一个能帮上忙。Farah很着急，不知道该向谁求助。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①根据第一段首句“Farah垂头丧气地坐在床上，拼命在脑子里寻找其他可以求助的名字。”可知，下文可描写Farah想起了老友Hafsa，向她求助的经过，以及Hafsa答应帮助。
②根据第二段首句“下星期一，当这两个老朋友一起走进学校时，吉娜看见了他们，傲慢地叫（Farah）”可知，下文可描写Farah对Gina行为的反应——告诉她自己现在的交友规则。
2.续写线索：搜索可以向谁求助——后悔加入俱乐部——想起老友Hafsa——找到Hafsa——Hafsa同意帮忙——周一遇到Gina——告诉Gina自己交友的新规则——忽略Gina，和Hafsa大步走向教室
