Temples have long served an important role since the early years of civilization. Whether you are seeking a sense of spiritual enlightenment or looking to learn more about a certain religion, these beautiful temples are worth a stop on your vacation.
Paro Taktsang in the Paro Valley, Bhutan
Situated on a steep cliff in Bhutan’s Paro Valley, the “Tiger’s Nest” earned its nickname from an 18th-century tale detailing Buddhist master Padmasambhava arriving to the site on a flying tiger. The journey to the cliffside is quite the challenge, requiring guests to climb two hours on a steep trail.
Seiganto-ji in Nachikatsuura, Japan
Neighboring the tallest waterfall and set against the lush trees of Nachi, Seiganto-ji dates back to the 4th century. Seiganto-ji is now the first stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, where individuals travel to 33 Buddhist temples throughout the Kansai region of Japan.
Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong
This Buddhist and Taoist temple was built to honor the god of literature and the god of war, and the inscriptions found in the temple hall imply its construction may have taken place around 1847. It is still highly active and visited by local worshippers, so it’s asked that any visitor coming to the temple is prohibited from taking photos out of respect.
Kek Lok Si Temple, Malaysia
Penang is often touted(吹捧) for its sandy beaches and emerald blue waters, but it’s also home to the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia. A melting pot of cultures, the temple’s architecture showcases Chinese, Thai, and Burmese styles throughout its stunning seven stories. It’s estimated there are 10,000 statues of Buddha depicted throughout its main pagodas(宝塔).

In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about tiling (瓷砖). There is a problem which has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. “I thought she was just drawing casually (随意),” her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns.
Born in Florida, she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, but tight budget and social culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. “For Rice, math was a pleasure,” her son David once said.
Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully while the children were at school. When she read Gardner’s column about tiling as she later recalled in an interview: “I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had seen before.” She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type.”
Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian College. Doris confirmed that Rice’s finding was correct.
Later, Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris’s invitation, she attended a university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted.
4. Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen
A. To become a mathematician. B. To explore the secret of tiling.
C. To fill her leisure time. D. To show her passion for drawing.
5. What can we learn about Rice from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. She longed to start a column. B. She was rejected from a college.
C. She was good at designing patterns. D. She succeeded in developing a system.
6. What is the text mainly about
A. The magic of math. B. The efforts of Rice.
C. The humility of Rice. D. The patterns of tiling.
7. What can we learn from the Rice’s experience
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud Don’t you feel one step closer already Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges it, psychologists have found it's called a "social reality". The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that it's already done. And then. because you’ve felt that satisfaction. you’re less motivated to do the actual and necessary hard work. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a professor of psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests, which were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room, and half didn't. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Finally, those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
8. What do the words "social reality" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Necessary hard work. B. Completion of a goal
C. A sense of satisfaction. D. People’s judgement.
9. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving the personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
10. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people's goal
A. By giving figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey. D. By making comparison tests
11. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal
A. You'll be more confident
B You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You'll be less likely to realize it.
D. You'll be much more motivated.
D
One of the ocean’s noisiest creatures is smaller than you’d expect — snapping shrimp (鼓虾). They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening.
Aran Mooney, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, suggested that with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before. This could raise the background noise of the global ocean. “They make a sound by closing a claw so fast. This makes a bubble (泡泡) and when that bubble bursts, it makes that snapping sound,” said Mooney.
Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. “As the temperature rises, the snap rate increases,” he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are largely controlled by their living environment. “We can actually show in the field that not only do snap rates increase, but the sound levels increase as well.”
How the louder snapping shrimp would affect or benefit the surroundings remained to be seen. “We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” There is also the possibility that the change of snapping shrimp affects machines humans use to discover mines, which could lead to unpleasant results.
12. What can we know about the snapping shrimp’s sound
A. It aims to protect the shrimp. B. It is important to the ecosystem.
C. It has different uses for the shrimp. D. It is hard to be discovered by other creatures.
13. How does Mooney do the experiment
A. By observing snapping shrimp in the field. B. By recording the snap rates in the lab.
C By analyzing the way shrimp make noise. D. By comparing shrimp’s sound in different places.
14. What might Mooney research next
A. Other uses of shrimp’s sound. B. Influences of the noise on other creatures.
C. Means of communication among fish. D. Methods of stopping shrimp’s snapping.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Underwater World Is No Longer Quiet B. Small Animals Make a Big Difference
C. Warming Oceans Are Getting Louder D. Snapping Shrimp’s Noise Speaks Much

Finders Keepers
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. It was a short distance, so I knew they were safe and no trouble would befall (降临) them.
One warm spring day, a cute puppy (小狗) followed them home after school. When my husband got home that evening, she climbed into his lap to watch TV. The girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time the girls took responsibility for another life.
The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was pleading (恳求) for the return of a lost puppy in the vicinity (附近) of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly tucked (把……塞进) the paper away in the closet. There was only one problem: my conscience was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our puppy was the one they were desperately seeking.
It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Finally, with sweaty palms (手掌), I lifted the receiver and dialed. Secretly I was praying no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she wanted to come right over.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；

In 1975, a San Diego homemaker named Marjorie Rice came across a column in Scientific American about tiling (瓷砖). There is a problem which has interested mathematicians since ancient Greek times. After Rice’s chance encounter with tiling, family members often saw her in the kitchen constantly drawing shapes. “I thought she was just drawing casually (随意),” her daughter Kathy said. But Rice who took only one year of math in high school, was actually discovering never-before-seen patterns.
Born in Florida, she loved learning and particularly her brief exposure to math, but tight budget and social culture prevented her family from even considering that she might attend college. “For Rice, math was a pleasure,” her son David once said.
Rice gave one of her sons a subscription to Scientific American partly because she could read it carefully while the children were at school. When she read Gardner’s column about tiling as she later recalled in an interview: “I thought it must be wonderful that someone could discover these beautiful patterns which no one had seen before.” She also wrote in an essay, “My interest was engaged by the subject and I wanted to understand every detail of it. Lacking a mathematical background, I developed my own symbol system and in a few months discovered a new type.”
Astonished and delighted, she sent her work to Gardner, who sent it to Doris, a tiling expert at Moravian College. Doris confirmed that Rice’s finding was correct.
Later, Rice declined to lecture on her discoveries, citing shyness, but at Doris’s invitation, she attended a university mathematics meeting, where she was introduced to the audience. Rice still said nothing of her achievements to her children, but they eventually found out as the awards mounted.
4. Why did Rice often draw shapes in the kitchen
A. To become a mathematician. B. To explore the secret of tiling.
C. To fill her leisure time. D. To show her passion for drawing.
5. What can we learn about Rice from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A. She longed to start a column. B. She was rejected from a college.
C. She was good at designing patterns. D. She succeeded in developing a system.
6. What is the text mainly about
A. The magic of math. B. The efforts of Rice.
C. The humility of Rice. D. The patterns of tiling.
7. What can we learn from the Rice’s experience
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A

Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud Don’t you feel one step closer already Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges it, psychologists have found it's called a "social reality". The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that it's already done. And then. because you’ve felt that satisfaction. you’re less motivated to do the actual and necessary hard work. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a professor of psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests, which were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room, and half didn't. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Finally, those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
8. What do the words "social reality" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Necessary hard work. B. Completion of a goal
C. A sense of satisfaction. D. People’s judgement.
9. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving the personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
10. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people's goal
A. By giving figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey. D. By making comparison tests
11. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal
A. You'll be more confident
B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You'll be less likely to realize it.
D. You'll be much more motivated.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了将目标告诉别人之后得到满足感会让你不太可能完成目标，而将目标保密会让你更努力的完成目标。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文“The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it‘s already done.( 大脑有点被骗了，感觉已经完成了。) ”可知，social reality指的是大脑被欺骗感觉目标已经完成了，也就是说social reality意味着目标的完成。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average(现在，那些闭上嘴的人平均工作了整整45分钟)”可知，Peter Gollwitzer通过做实验发现没有宣布自己的目标的人坚持完成目标的时间更长，因此推断他想告诉人们将目标保密会让人们更加努力。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room, and half didn't.( 163人参加了四次不同的测试——每个人都写下了自己的个人目标。然后一半人宣布了他们对这个目标的承诺，一半人没有)”和“Finally, those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal. ( 最后，那些闭嘴的人平均工作了45分钟，当被问及时，他们说他们觉得自己要实现目标还有很长的路要走. 但那些平均仅仅33分钟就宣布退回的人说，当后来被问及时，他们觉得自己离实现目标更接近了。)”可知，Peter Gollwitzer做了一个实验，163个实验对象都写下了他们的个人目标，然后他们中的一半宣布了他们对这个目标的承诺，而一半没有。然后比较了两种实验对象的结果。因此推断Peter Gollwitzer证明他的想法是通过一个对照实验。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.( 好吧，坏消息：你应该闭上嘴，因为那种良好的感觉会让你不太可能完成目标。) ”可知，将目标告诉别人之后得到的满足感会让你不太可能完成目标，因此如果你将自己的目标告诉朋友，你会不太可能实现这个目标。故选C项。
D
One of the ocean’s noisiest creatures is smaller than you’d expect — snapping shrimp (鼓虾). They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening.
Aran Mooney, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, suggested that with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before. This could raise the background noise of the global ocean. “They make a sound by closing a claw so fast. This makes a bubble (泡泡) and when that bubble bursts, it makes that snapping sound,” said Mooney.
Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. “As the temperature rises, the snap rate increases,” he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are largely controlled by their living environment. “We can actually show in the field that not only do snap rates increase, but the sound levels increase as well.”
How the louder snapping shrimp would affect or benefit the surroundings remained to be seen. “We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” There is also the possibility that the change of snapping shrimp affects machines humans use to discover mines, which could lead to unpleasant results.
12. What can we know about the snapping shrimp’s sound
A. It aims to protect the shrimp. B. It is important to the ecosystem.
C. It has different uses for the shrimp. D. It is hard to be discovered by other creatures.
13. How does Mooney do the experiment
A. By observing snapping shrimp in the field. B. By recording the snap rates in the lab.
C. By analyzing the way shrimp make noise. D. By comparing shrimp’s sound in different places.
14. What might Mooney research next
A. Other uses of shrimp’s sound. B. Influences of the noise on other creatures.
C. Means of communication among fish. D. Methods of stopping shrimp’s snapping.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Underwater World Is No Longer Quiet B. Small Animals Make a Big Difference
C. Warming Oceans Are Getting Louder D. Snapping Shrimp’s Noise Speaks Much
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。鼓虾是一种体形很小却能发出很大声音的海洋生物，随着气候变暖，海水升温，鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大，这可能会影响其他海洋生物和人类。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening. (它们在水下环境中产生广泛的背景噪音，这有助于它们交流、保护家园和寻找食物。当足够多的虾同时发出噼啪声，噪音可以震耳欲聋)”可知，鼓虾发出的声音有助于它们交流、保卫家园和寻找食物，即有多种作用。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. (Mooney在实验室的水箱里对虾进行实验，并在不同的水温下聆听虾的声音，他发现温暖的海水和更频繁的鼓虾声之间存在着密切的联系)”可知，Mooney在实验室的水箱中用鼓虾做实验，并听各种水温里的鼓虾发出的声音。由此推知，他通过对比在不同地点鼓虾发出的声音进行实验。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” (“我们知道鱼是用声音来交流的，”Mooney说。“如果环境变得嘈杂，就有可能影响交流。我们必须对此进行跟进。”)”可知，Mooney认为应跟进这种噪音对鱼类交流的影响。由此推断，Mooney接下来可能会研究鼓虾发出的声音对其他生物的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before (随着海洋温度的升高，鼓虾的声音会比以前更频繁、更响亮)”可知，文章主要介绍了随着气候变暖，海水温度升高，鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大，发出声音的频率也增加，使海洋环境变得嘈杂，这可能会影响其他海洋生物和人类。C项“变暖的海洋变得更吵闹”形象贴切地总结了文章内容，最适合作为标题。故选C。

【16题详解】
前文“You might have heard of the expression “a guilty pleasure”—maybe it’s the chocolate bar you buy on the way home from work, or the new clothes that you don’t really need.(你可能听说过“内疚的快感”这个表达——也许是你下班回家路上买的巧克力棒，或者是你并不真正需要的新衣服)”引出“内疚的快感”这个概念，F选项“它来自于这样一种观点：当我们善待自己时，有时会让我们感到内疚”为对于前文概念来源的解释，与后文“Perhaps we don’t feel we deserved it, or we don’t think it was a responsible way to spend our money.(也许我们觉得我们不配，或者我们不认为这是一种负责任的花钱方式)”相呼应，it指代“购物善待自己”。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“Psychologists have suggested that buying things for yourself can make you feel better as it provides an opportunity to take control of your situation.(心理学家表明，为自己买东西可以让你感觉更好，因为它提供了一个控制自己处境的机会)”表明心理学家说明为什么给自己买东西会让自我感觉更好，后文“It may be that as well as lifting your mood, when you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself.(当你买东西的时候，除了能让你心情好起来，你可能只是在照顾自己)”表示给自己购物的好处和潜在意图，G选项“它可以给你社会联系，也可以从你对自我形象的改变中增强自信”为解释前文心理学家的观点，说明给自己购物的好处，且句型与后文It may be that as well as构成并列关系。故选G。
【18题详解】
前文“Psychologist Leon Seltzer considers the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurturing.(心理学家Leon Seltzer考虑了自我放纵和自我培养的区别)”提到了心理学家看待两者之间的区别，结合后文“while self-nurturing is taking responsible decisions to satisfy our needs and take care of ourselves in ways that don’t have a significant impact.(而自我培养是做出负责任的决定来满足我们的需求，并以不产生重大影响的方式照顾好自己)”说明自我培养的特点可知，空处应说明自我放纵的问题，B选项“自我放纵会带来负面后果”与后文谈及自我培养形成对比。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文“So, many universities publish guides with advice for coping with exam stress.(因此，许多大学出版了应对考试压力的指南)”可知，空处应说明，大学为什么出版考试压力指南，结合上文讲到“自我培养”和“自我放纵”的区别可知，C选项“当学生应对考试压力时，这种差异就变得明显了”承上启下，符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
前文“Reflecting the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture, they recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts, doing things that you enjoy and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment.(他们建议对自己的努力给予奖励，做自己喜欢和擅长的事情，这样你就能感受到成就感，这反映了自我放纵和自我培养之间的区别)”表示学校指南的建议，后文“Thus, perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn’t feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.(因此，也许，只要我们做出负责任的决定，我们就不应该对我们的罪恶感感到内疚)”表示我们应负责任地做决定，E选项“此外，你应该避免那些可能会让你事后感觉更糟的事情”与上一句的建议为并列的递进关系，同样表示建议，符合结构，与文章的整体观点一致，强调负责任地对待自己的行为。故选E。

第三节（满分20分）
57. 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。
Finders Keepers
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I occasionally allowed them to walk to and from school alone, if the weather permitted. It was a short distance, so I knew they were safe and no trouble would befall (降临) them.
One warm spring day, a cute puppy (小狗) followed them home after school. When my husband got home that evening, she climbed into his lap to watch TV. The girls were both begging me to keep her.
She had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very intelligent and good with the girls. This was a good idea, I thought. It was time the girls took responsibility for another life.
The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular ad jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was pleading (恳求) for the return of a lost puppy in the vicinity (附近) of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly tucked (把……塞进) the paper away in the closet. There was only one problem: my conscience was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our puppy was the one they were desperately seeking.
It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Finally, with sweaty palms (手掌), I lifted the receiver and dialed. Secretly I was praying no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she wanted to come right over.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Within minutes she was at my door and I asked her to come in.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Opening the door, I noticed a little girl in the car with a small wheelchair next to her.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Within minutes she was at my door and I asked her to come in. One look at the puppy and the woman’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Here, Lucy,” she called. “Come to Mamma.” Lucy instantly obeyed, wagging her tail in delight at the sound of the woman’s voice. Obviously, she belonged to the woman. I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. I wanted to grab the dog and run. Instead, I smiled faintly. After some chat, it was time for them to go home.
Opening the door, I noticed a little girl in the car with a small wheelchair next to her. When the child saw the puppy, a bright smile spread across her face. The woman saw me look at the chair and offered an explanation. Lucy was given to her daughter to promote emotional healing after a car accident. When Lucy disappeared, the little girl had gone into a deep depression, refusing to come out of the shell she was in. Suddenly I felt very guilty for my selfishness and the terrible time they had been through. I knew I had done the right thing--that puppy was exactly where she belonged.
