I started collecting shopping lists around 1997. One day, I was shopping for my daughter’s birthday party in St Louis, Missouri, where we lived. After leaving the store, I came across a yellow note in the parking lot. I picked it up and it was somebody’s shopping list. I thought, “That’s interesting. Well, whenever I see one, I will keep it.”
People collect all sorts of things you would never expect. It’s as if all these separate, unimportant things, when put together as a collection, suddenly become revealing. The first list I found was nothing special. But after you see a lot of them, the weird ones stick out. One I found is a long list of stuff and then, in the margin (空白处), someone had written: “If you buy any more rice, I’ll punch you.” Another one says at the bottom: “NO MORE CHIPS, JESSICA”.
The shopping list project started slowly. At first, it was just me and people I knew who would save lists for me. Then, at the beginning of the 2000s, I put it online. At that point, blogs were going mainstream. I had people messaging me, saying, “I work at a grocery store and have my own little collection, but I am not going to do anything with them. Do you want them ”
So I started receiving lists from everywhere in the world. It seemed there was a never-ending supply. At first, I kept my lists in an envelope. Then, as the collection grew, they went to a grocery bag, a cardboard box and finally a large plastic storage bin.
In 2012, I was approached by a publisher who wanted to turn my collection into a book. Then I started going through all my lists, figuring out ways to categorize and interpret them. Lists can tell you all sorts of things about a person. Some of them are organized and divide lists into sections—fruit, vegetables, dairy. Most of them are not. Some are on a budget.
The project is continuing, but it grows more slowly now. People can’t help peeking into the secret lives of others, but technology has made shopping lists more private. Most people use apps, like I do. I guess there might not be another book.
24．How did the author start collecting shopping lists
A．It was by chance. B．It was out of interest.
C．It was for his daughter’s birthday. D．It was inspired by a shopping experience.
25．What can we learn about the author’s shopping list project
A．It won instant fame. B．It got worldwide support.
C．It helped solve family conflict. D．It was funded by a grocery store.
26．Why did the author go through his collection in 2012
A．To save room for more lists. B．To make preparations for a book.
C．To dig out stories behind each list. D．To pick out some lists for a publisher.
27．How is the text developed
A．By giving vivid examples. B．By showing relevant facts.
C．By following the time order. D．By explaining various ideas.
C
Persistently engaging in negative thinking patterns may raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, finds a new UCL-led study.
In the study of people aged over 55, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers found ‘repetitive negative thinking’ (RNT) is linked to subsequent cognitive decline as well as the deposition (沉积) of harmful brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s.
Lead author Dr Natalie Marchant (UCL Psychiatry) said, “Depression and anxiety in mid-life and old age are already known to be risk factors for dementia (痴呆). Here, we found that certain thinking patterns involved in depression and anxiety could be an underlying reason why people with those disorders are more likely to develop dementia.”
“We hope that our findings could be used to develop strategies to lower people’s risk of dementia by helping them to reduce their negative thinking patterns.”
For the Alzheimer’s Society-supported study, the research team from UCL, INSERM and McGill University studied 292 people over the age of 55.
Over a period of two years, the study participants responded to questions about how they typically think about negative experiences, focusing on RNT patterns like thoughts about the past and worry about the future. The participants also completed measures of depression and anxiety symptoms. Their cognitive function was assessed, measuring memory, attention, spatial cognition, and language.
The researchers found that people who exhibited higher RNT patterns experienced more cognitive decline over a four-year period, and declines in memory (which is among the earlier signs of Alzheimer’s disease).
“We propose that repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factor for dementia as it could contribute to dementia in a unique way,” said Dr Marchant.
Co-author Dr Gael Chételat commented, “Our thoughts can have a biological impact on our physical health, which might be positive or negative. Mental training practices such as meditation might help promoting positive while down-regulating negative-associated mental schemes.”
“Looking after your mental health is important, and it should be a major public health priority, as it’s not only important for people’s health and well-being in the short term, but it could also impact your eventual risk of dementia.”
28．What is repetitive negative thinking (RNT) connected to
A．Thinking approach improvement in later years.
B．Anxiety disorders which occur in females solely.
C．Individuals of younger age, which is turning into a trend.
D．Later cognitive decline and the deposit of harmful brain proteins.
29．What can we learn about certain thinking patterns according to Dr Natalie Marchant
A．They have no substantial impact on dementia.
B．They might lead to people getting dementia easily.
C．They are relevant primarily in mid-life, not in old age.
D．They are primary contributors to depression and anxiety disorders.
30．What were the participants asked about in the study
A．Their daily routines and habits.
B．Their favorite personal experiences.
C．Their typical thinking about negative experiences.
D．Their perspectives on various mental health practices.
31．What can we infer from the text
A．Controlling negative emotions is beneficial to health.
B．Repetitive negative patterns increase memory in a sense.
C．Mental health of the elderly always goes unnoticed in public.
D．Constantly engaging in thinking leads to one’s dementia in time.
D
Though you may not know it, about half a billion people worldwide depend on the ecosystems created and supported by corals. And with climate change threatening their survival, marine scientist Enric Sala had an idea that might have seemed impossible.
“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting (开发) them, polluting them and killing them all over the world,” Sala said.
The idea was, in essence, made possible during an expedition that Sala led in 2009. The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean, and found some untouched reefs.
His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. Then the Kiribati government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activities, but between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming killed half the coral reefs the team had found.
After hearing that news, they lost hope for the health of coral reefs. But the study continued, and last year, they went in for another dive. Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection (复兴) is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.
The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.
The second factor is the Kiribati government’s decision to fully protect those waters. “There are abundant fish species. They eat all the algae that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back,” Sala explained.
“So if some countries want a future for the fisheries, they need to manage their fisheries in a more responsible way around areas that are set aside to help regenerate the rest of the ocean,” Sala said.
For him and his team, the rebirth of the coral reefs in Kiribati is a beacon of hope among so much pessimism (悲观主义) surrounding the future of reefs.
32．What did Enric Sala want to do according to his words in paragraph 2
A．Study some untouched coral reefs. B．Develop technology for time travel.
C．Raise awareness about sea protection. D．Restore coral reefs to their original state.
33．What led to the death of half the coral reefs between 2015 and 2016
A．Habitat destruction. B．Climate change.
C．Water pollution. D．Biodiversity loss.
34．Which factor helped the coral reefs in Kiribati restore themselves
A．Fall of ocean temperature. B．Introduction of new fish species.
C．Official funding for restoration efforts. D．Sufficient surviving corals for reproduction.
35．What is Enric Sala’s suggestion to some countries
A．Killing all the algae in the ocean. B．Reducing dependence on fisheries.
C．Protecting the ocean from overfishing. D．Strengthening cooperation with scientists.

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。
There are too many treasures in life we take for granted, the worth of which we don’t fully realize until they’re pointed out to us in some unexpected way. So it was with Mama’s minestrone soup (意大利浓菜汤).
There was no recipe for her minestrone soup. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. It was a symbol of security. Its recipe was created spontaneously (非计划安排地) from what was in the kitchen. And we could judge the state of our family economy by its contents. A hearty soup with tomatoes, pasta, beans, carrots, celery, onion, corn and meat indicated things were going well. A water y soup suggested hard times.
At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was a thin, dark-haired boy, and an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner. The family had a cook in a white uniform who worked in a kitchen with shining utensils (厨房用具). The food was good, but I found it bland (清淡的), lacking the heartiness of my home food served from flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food. Everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but conversation around the table was subdued (克制的). And no one hugged! In our family, warm hugs were a constant and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter, you sick ” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment.
I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at our house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally when Sol asked again if he could come to our house, I had to say yes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But to my amazement, I noticed Sol took a spoonful of Mama’s minestrone soup.

M: Next weekend. We’re getting there by bus. You’ll need to take something to eat.
W: Do I have to take my tent
M: No. Actually, we’ll live in a wood house on the farm instead of staying in a hotel and the mountains, where the owner will provide everything necessary, including bedding and cleaning items, like your toothbrush and towel.
W: Cool. Who else
M: Anna and David. So there will be four of us if you come. We’ll climb and explore the mountains, enjoying the scenery and exercising our whole bodies along the way. And the house is big enough for us to have a barbecue in the evening. I’m really looking forward to the trip.
W: Fantastic! Me too.

【原文】
Well, the next product I want to move onto is children’s toy. In this part of building, we manufacture several different wooden toys. But the greatest demand is for our train sets. These are made up of ten pieces and each piece is a different color. It’s a toy for the under-fives and it sells well. We manufacture 1.000 of these every week. Over here, we put all the toys into boxes. Because this is a product for young children, everything has to be very carefully checked in advance. So the average time it takes for packaging is 5 minutes per box.
We supply a lot of large department stores throughout the country. Orders are not constant, but go up and down depending on what time of the year it is. So we try to keep about 1,000 boxes in storage at any time. That’s the number that we have at the moment anyway. As I said, we deliver our children’s toys to stores around the country. Outside, we’re just loading up the lorries which are going to set off tomorrow. That’s November 3rd. then there won’t be another shipment until 10th, November.

I started collecting shopping lists around 1997. One day, I was shopping for my daughter’s birthday party in St Louis, Missouri, where we lived. After leaving the store, I came across a yellow note in the parking lot. I picked it up and it was somebody’s shopping list. I thought, “That’s interesting. Well, whenever I see one, I will keep it.”
People collect all sorts of things you would never expect. It’s as if all these separate, unimportant things, when put together as a collection, suddenly become revealing. The first list I found was nothing special. But after you see a lot of them, the weird ones stick out. One I found is a long list of stuff and then, in the margin (空白处), someone had written: “If you buy any more rice, I’ll punch you.” Another one says at the bottom: “NO MORE CHIPS, JESSICA”.
The shopping list project started slowly. At first, it was just me and people I knew who would save lists for me. Then, at the beginning of the 2000s, I put it online. At that point, blogs were going mainstream. I had people messaging me, saying, “I work at a grocery store and have my own little collection, but I am not going to do anything with them. Do you want them ”
So I started receiving lists from everywhere in the world. It seemed there was a never-ending supply. At first, I kept my lists in an envelope. Then, as the collection grew, they went to a grocery bag, a cardboard box and finally a large plastic storage bin.
In 2012, I was approached by a publisher who wanted to turn my collection into a book. Then I started going through all my lists, figuring out ways to categorize and interpret them. Lists can tell you all sorts of things about a person. Some of them are organized and divide lists into sections—fruit, vegetables, dairy. Most of them are not. Some are on a budget.
The project is continuing, but it grows more slowly now. People can’t help peeking into the secret lives of others, but technology has made shopping lists more private. Most people use apps, like I do. I guess there might not be another book.
24．How did the author start collecting shopping lists
A．It was by chance. B．It was out of interest.
C．It was for his daughter’s birthday. D．It was inspired by a shopping experience.
25．What can we learn about the author’s shopping list project
A．It won instant fame. B．It got worldwide support.
C．It helped solve family conflict. D．It was funded by a grocery store.
26．Why did the author go through his collection in 2012
A．To save room for more lists. B．To make preparations for a book.
C．To dig out stories behind each list. D．To pick out some lists for a publisher.
27．How is the text developed
A．By giving vivid examples. B．By showing relevant facts.
C．By following the time order. D．By explaining various ideas.
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．B 27．C

Persistently engaging in negative thinking patterns may raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, finds a new UCL-led study.
In the study of people aged over 55, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers found ‘repetitive negative thinking’ (RNT) is linked to subsequent cognitive decline as well as the deposition (沉积) of harmful brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s.
Lead author Dr Natalie Marchant (UCL Psychiatry) said, “Depression and anxiety in mid-life and old age are already known to be risk factors for dementia (痴呆). Here, we found that certain thinking patterns involved in depression and anxiety could be an underlying reason why people with those disorders are more likely to develop dementia.”
“We hope that our findings could be used to develop strategies to lower people’s risk of dementia by helping them to reduce their negative thinking patterns.”
For the Alzheimer’s Society-supported study, the research team from UCL, INSERM and McGill University studied 292 people over the age of 55.
Over a period of two years, the study participants responded to questions about how they typically think about negative experiences, focusing on RNT patterns like thoughts about the past and worry about the future. The participants also completed measures of depression and anxiety symptoms. Their cognitive function was assessed, measuring memory, attention, spatial cognition, and language.
The researchers found that people who exhibited higher RNT patterns experienced more cognitive decline over a four-year period, and declines in memory (which is among the earlier signs of Alzheimer’s disease).
“We propose that repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factor for dementia as it could contribute to dementia in a unique way,” said Dr Marchant.
Co-author Dr Gael Chételat commented, “Our thoughts can have a biological impact on our physical health, which might be positive or negative. Mental training practices such as meditation might help promoting positive while down-regulating negative-associated mental schemes.”
“Looking after your mental health is important, and it should be a major public health priority, as it’s not only important for people’s health and well-being in the short term, but it could also impact your eventual risk of dementia.”
28．What is repetitive negative thinking (RNT) connected to
A．Thinking approach improvement in later years.
B．Anxiety disorders which occur in females solely.
C．Individuals of younger age, which is turning into a trend.
D．Later cognitive decline and the deposit of harmful brain proteins.
29．What can we learn about certain thinking patterns according to Dr Natalie Marchant
A．They have no substantial impact on dementia.
B．They might lead to people getting dementia easily.
C．They are relevant primarily in mid-life, not in old age.
D．They are primary contributors to depression and anxiety disorders.
30．What were the participants asked about in the study
A．Their daily routines and habits.
B．Their favorite personal experiences.
C．Their typical thinking about negative experiences.
D．Their perspectives on various mental health practices.
31．What can we infer from the text
A．Controlling negative emotions is beneficial to health.
B．Repetitive negative patterns increase memory in a sense.
C．Mental health of the elderly always goes unnoticed in public.
D．Constantly engaging in thinking leads to one’s dementia in time.
【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述研究发现，长期沉浸在消极思维模式可能会增加患阿尔茨海默病的风险。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the study of people aged over 55, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, researchers found ‘repetitive negative thinking’ (RNT) is linked to subsequent cognitive decline as well as the deposition (沉积) of harmful brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s.(发表在《阿尔茨海默病与痴呆症》杂志上的一项针对55岁以上人群的研究发现，“重复性消极思维”(RNT)与随后的认知能力下降以及与阿尔茨海默病相关的有害大脑蛋白质沉积有关)”可知，重复性消极思维(RNT)与后期认知能力下降和有害脑蛋白沉积有关。故选D项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中Dr Natalie Marchant的话“Here, we found that certain thinking patterns involved in depression and anxiety could be an underlying reason why people with those disorders are more likely to develop dementia.(在这里，我们发现与抑郁和焦虑有关的某些思维模式可能是患有这些疾病的人更容易患上痴呆症的潜在原因)”可知，根据Natalie Marchant博士的研究可知，某些思维模式可能会导致人们容易患上痴呆症。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第六段中“Over a period of two years, the study participants responded to questions about how they typically think about negative experiences, focusing on RNT patterns like thoughts about the past and worry about the future.(在两年的时间里，研究参与者回答了关于他们通常如何看待负面经历的问题，重点关注RNT模式，如对过去的思考和对未来的担忧)”可知，研究中，参与者被问及他们对负面经历的典型思维。故选C项。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Persistently engaging in negative thinking patterns may raise the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, finds a new UCL-led study.(伦敦大学学院领导的一项新研究发现，长期运用消极思维模式可能会增加患阿尔茨海默病的风险)”、第三段中“Here, we found that certain thinking patterns involved in depression and anxiety could be an underlying reason why people with those disorders are more likely to develop dementia.(在这里，我们发现与抑郁和焦虑有关的某些思维模式可能是患有这些疾病的人更容易患上痴呆症的潜在原因)”和第八段中“We propose that repetitive negative thinking may be a new risk factor for dementia as it could contribute to dementia in a unique way,(我们认为，重复的消极思维可能是痴呆症的一个新的危险因素，因为它可能以一种独特的方式导致痴呆症)”可知，消极思维会增加患阿尔茨海默病的风险，对健康造成危害。由此推知，控制消极情绪有利于健康。故选A项。

Though you may not know it, about half a billion people worldwide depend on the ecosystems created and supported by corals. And with climate change threatening their survival, marine scientist Enric Sala had an idea that might have seemed impossible.
“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting (开发) them, polluting them and killing them all over the world,” Sala said.
The idea was, in essence, made possible during an expedition that Sala led in 2009. The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean, and found some untouched reefs.
His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati. Then the Kiribati government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activities, but between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming killed half the coral reefs the team had found.
After hearing that news, they lost hope for the health of coral reefs. But the study continued, and last year, they went in for another dive. Despite the reported conditions, Sala and his team found that the reefs had somehow restored themselves, filled with life and color once more. This resurrection (复兴) is something that Sala says can be traced to two key factors.
The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs.
The second factor is the Kiribati government’s decision to fully protect those waters. “There are abundant fish species. They eat all the algae that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back,” Sala explained.
“So if some countries want a future for the fisheries, they need to manage their fisheries in a more responsible way around areas that are set aside to help regenerate the rest of the ocean,” Sala said.
For him and his team, the rebirth of the coral reefs in Kiribati is a beacon of hope among so much pessimism (悲观主义) surrounding the future of reefs.
32．What did Enric Sala want to do according to his words in paragraph 2
A．Study some untouched coral reefs. B．Develop technology for time travel.
C．Raise awareness about sea protection. D．Restore coral reefs to their original state.
33．What led to the death of half the coral reefs between 2015 and 2016
A．Habitat destruction. B．Climate change.
C．Water pollution. D．Biodiversity loss.
34．Which factor helped the coral reefs in Kiribati restore themselves
A．Fall of ocean temperature. B．Introduction of new fish species.
C．Official funding for restoration efforts. D．Sufficient surviving corals for reproduction.
35．What is Enric Sala’s suggestion to some countries
A．Killing all the algae in the ocean. B．Reducing dependence on fisheries.
C．Protecting the ocean from overfishing. D．Strengthening cooperation with scientists.
【答案】32．D 33．B 34．D 35．C
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了海洋科学家Enric Sala为保护恢复珊瑚礁所做的努力。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中Sala所说“We wanted to get into a time machine, go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere, before we started exploiting (开发) them, polluting them and killing them all over the world (我们想进入一台时光机，回到几百年前，真正看到珊瑚礁，就像我们开始在世界各地开采、污染和杀害它们之前一样。)”可知，Sala想恢复珊瑚礁的原始状态。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Then the Kiribati government took steps to protect the waters from fishing and other human activities, but between 2015 and 2016, record levels of ocean warming killed half the coral reefs the team had found. (然后基里巴斯政府采取措施保护水域不受捕鱼和其他人类活动的影响，但在2015年至2016年期间，创纪录的海洋变暖水平杀死了该团队发现的一半珊瑚礁。)”可知，2015年至2016年间，气候变化导致了一半珊瑚礁的死亡。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据第六段“The first is, thankfully, half of the corals had not died, as was previously thought. Despite the rise in temperatures, there were enough surviving corals left behind to help reproduce the reefs. (首先，谢天谢地，一半的珊瑚没有像之前认为的那样死亡。尽管气温上升，但仍有足够的幸存珊瑚留下来帮助珊瑚礁繁殖。)”可知，有足够的幸存珊瑚进行繁殖可以帮助珊瑚礁恢复。故选D项。
35．观点态度题。根据第七段中“There are abundant fish species. They eat all the algae that would smother (窒息) the corals, making it possible for the corals to come back.(这里有丰富的鱼类。它们吃掉所有会使珊瑚窒息的藻类，使珊瑚有可能回来。)”和第八段中“So if some countries want a future for the fisheries, they need to manage their fisheries in a more responsible way around areas that are set aside to help regenerate the rest of the ocean.(因此，如果一些国家想要渔业的未来，他们需要以更负责任的方式管理他们的渔业，这些渔业是为了帮助海洋的其他部分再生而留出的。)”可知，Sala建议一些国家保护海洋免受过度捕捞。故选C项。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
There are too many treasures in life we take for granted, the worth of which we don’t fully realize until they’re pointed out to us in some unexpected way. So it was with Mama’s minestrone soup (意大利浓菜汤).
There was no recipe for her minestrone soup. For our large immigrant family, Mama’s soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. It was a symbol of security. Its recipe was created spontaneously (非计划安排地) from what was in the kitchen. And we could judge the state of our family economy by its contents. A hearty soup with tomatoes, pasta, beans, carrots, celery, onion, corn and meat indicated things were going well. A water y soup suggested hard times.
At one time, however, Mama’s soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was a thin, dark-haired boy, and an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner. The family had a cook in a white uniform who worked in a kitchen with shining utensils (厨房用具). The food was good, but I found it bland (清淡的), lacking the heartiness of my home food served from flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food. Everything was so formal. Sol’s mother and father were polite, but conversation around the table was subdued (克制的). And no one hugged! In our family, warm hugs were a constant and if you didn’t kiss your mother, she demanded: “What’s the matter, you sick ” But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment.
I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at our house, but that was the last thing I wanted. My family was so different.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally when Sol asked again if he could come to our house, I had to say yes.

But to my amazement, I noticed Sol took a spoonful of Mama’s minestrone soup.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Finally when Sol asked again if he could come to our house, I had to say yes. The day Sol came over I was very nervous. Mama and the other family members welcomed him with embraces. Soon after sitting at the heavy, deeply stained table, we were instantly faced with bowls of soup. “Sol,” Mama asked, “you know what this is ” “Soup ” Sol responded. “No soup,” Mama said emphatically. “It’s minestrone!” She then launched into a long explanation of the power of minestrone: how it cured headaches, colds. And Mama even said the soup would make Sol strong. I was so embarrassed, convinced that this would be the last time I would ever see my friend Sol.
But to my amazement, I noticed Sol took a spoonful of Mama’s minestrone soup. His initial he sitation gave way to genuine enjoyment. And as the evening progressed, I saw him relax, his rigid posture melting away in my family’s easy atmosphere. After he finished his bowl, he asked for two more. “I like it a lot,” he said, slurping. When we were saying our good-byes, Sol confided, “You sure have a great family.” Then he added, “Boy, you are lucky!” Lucky I wondered. Suddenly, it dawned on me that true wealth wasn’t measured in polished silver or spotless kitchens. It was found in the simple joys of family, laughter, and a steaming bowl of Mama’s minestrone soup.
【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者的母亲做的意大利浓菜汤能够让经济条件不好的移民家庭不挨饿，但作者觉得一份水汪汪的汤暗示着艰难的时期，有一段时间妈妈的汤锅成了他尴尬的来源。作者在学校交了一个好朋友Sol，他的家虽物质条件优渥，但缺少了作者家中那种由母亲的汤所象征的爱、温暖及随意自在的家庭氛围。Sol想要去作者的家里用餐，但是因为家庭环境的不同，作者并不想他到自己家里来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句“最后，当索尔再次问他是否可以来我们家时，我不得不答应。”可知，第一段可描写Sol来作者家里吃饭时，作者家人热情的款待Sol，尤其是作者的妈妈，详细的给他解释了什么意大利浓菜汤。作者因此感到非常尴尬，觉得会失去Sol这个朋友
②由第二段首句“但令我惊讶的是，我注意到索尔拿了一勺妈妈的意大利浓菜汤”可知，第二段可描写Sol非常喜欢妈妈的做的意大利浓菜汤，并让作者意识到母亲做的意大利浓菜汤的价值。
2.续写线索：再次要求来家里做客——答应——热情款待——介绍意大利浓菜汤——尴尬——喜欢意大利浓菜汤——感悟
