Texan 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days, proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.
Their first stop was a location that challenges even many experienced travelers: the Antarctic. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling, slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding onto dear life.” Hamby said. The voyage, however, faded from their mind as they set foot on the ground of the Antarctic, fascinated by the breathtaking beauty of penguins, icebergs and glaciers.
Since that first venture, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents. They rode camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, danced in Nepal and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. And despite the challenges international travel presented, the good friends said they finished their trip without any argument. Though they’re both independent and stubborn, they respected each other’s feelings. And what they remember the most are the people that they encountered. “We got to know some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.” Hamby said.
The two shared a crucial piece of advice for travelers worrying about the language barrier on their own adventure. “You know, people often ask us about it.” said Hamby. “We tell them there's one universal language, and that’s the smile. We found it worked wonders because we were often aware that English was not always spoken and that that could cover all languages.”
They also encouraged other older people not to let age hold them back. Aside from some minor changes in plans — like deciding not to ride a motorbike in Bali because of concerns about falling-their age didn’t affect their journey abroad. They said they felt confident that if they were injured during their trip, their children would have been at peace knowing that they were doing what they wanted. And Hazelip described 81 as the perfect age to embark on a trip. “Getting older does give us a little bit of wisdom of making decisions.” she said.
24.What might the pair think of their trip to the Antarctic
A.Challenging but worthy. B.Expensive but exciting.
C.Interesting but fruitless. D.Unpleasant but impressive.
25.What is the highlight of the pair’s adventures for themselves
A.Learning about different cultures.
B.Meeting nice people along the way.
C.Experiencing many challenging activities.
D.Avoiding conflicts despite their stubborn nature.
26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.English. B.The pair’s advice.
C.The smile. D.The language barrier.
27.What can we infer about the pair from the last paragraph
A.They once fell off a motorbike in Bali.
B.Their family understood and supported them.
C.They regretted not exploring the world earlier.
D.Their wisdom saved them lots of time on the trip.
C
With the ocean covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said scientists and researchers had depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor which had charted only about 10% of the world’s ocean. For the ocean and coastal waters in the US, the number is just around 35%.
We know less about our planet’s ocean than what we know about the far side of the moon or the surface of Mars. Part of the reason for the lack of observation is the challenge of powering an underwater camera. Researchers have used ships to recharge cameras or observed with a camera tied to a ship to solve the issue, which is expensive and unsuitable for long-term observations.
Recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken a major step to iron out this problem by developing a battery-free, wireless underwater camera that could harvest energy underwater on its own for long periods.
To keep power consumption as low as possible, the researchers used off-the-shelf, ultra-low-power imaging sensors. The device takes color photos, even in dark underwater environments, and sends image data wirelessly through the water.
The camera is powered by sound. It changes mechanical energy from sound waves traveling through water into electrical energy that powers its imaging and communications equipment. After getting and encoding image data, the camera also uses sound waves to send the data to a receiver that reconstructs the image. Those sound waves could come from any source, like a passing ship or marine life. As it doesn’t need a power source, the camera could run for weeks on end before getting it back, enabling scientists to search remote parts of the ocean for new species.
Now that researchers have demonstrated a working prototype (原型), they plan to enhance the device so it is practical in real-world settings. For future application, these cameras may be used to take images of ocean pollution and create more accurate models to monitor climate change to better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world, and advance various undersea scientific fields.
28.What do the data in paragraph 1 mainly show
A.Undersea exploration is poor in the US.
B.Much of the planet’s ocean remains unexplored.
C.The mapping of the sea floor is time-consuming.
D.Technology development matters a lot to sea observation.
29.What limits the researchers’ undersea exploration according to the text
A.The complexity of the sea environment.
B.The concern about potential sea pollution.
C.The shortage of investment in ocean exploration.
D.The inability to effectively power underwater cameras.
30.What does the underlined phrase “iron out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Overcome. B.Face.
C.Analyze. D.Illustrate.
31.Which of the following can best describe the MIT underwater camera
A.Secure and stable. B.Expensive but effective.
C.Impractical but advanced. D.Self-sufficient and energy-saving.
D
The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”
“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
32.What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival
A.Global warming. B.The duration of changing seasons.
C.Loss of habitats due to human activities. D.Decreased access to foods during migration.
33.What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers
A.It covers a wider geographic range. B.It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C.It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D.It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.
34.What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds
A.Lessen the effects of climate change. B.Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C.Address emissions and habitat loss. D.Expand researches on threats to birds.
35.Where is the text most likely from
A.A scientific journal. B.A bird-watching guidebook.
C.A website about climate change. D.A magazine about wildlife conservation.

Learning that an English corner will be open in our school, I’m writing to give some advice.
First of all, the English corner can be arranged every Friday in our language lab so that we will be offered a chance to practice our oral English using multimedia devices. What’s more, the theme of the English corner should be about improving our language competence, in particular, spoken English, various topics included.
I hope my advice is worth taking and the first session will arrive on time!
Yours sincerely,

第二节:读后续写(满分25分)
67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the time I was living in a small village about 25 miles from London. That was the advantage of living there because you could get to London in half an hour. That was by train of course. If you went by car, it’d take about three times as long especially if you travelled in the morning rush hour. The reason why I was giving you this travel information in detail was that I had to make a choice between the car and the train.
I’d seen an advertisement in a national newspaper, which had asked for someone who had some knowledge of computing, had worked at least for two years in car sales and finally was not afraid of travelling up and down the motorway to London every day from a place not far from where I lived. It seemed interesting work and was quite different from the job I had at the time. The interview was to take place at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in January.
Throughout the weekend I couldn’t make up my mind whether to travel by car or by train. At the end of Sunday I decided to drive my car because after all the job was to do with cars.
On the day of the interview I got up at 6:00 a.m. as I was terrified of being late. I usually woke up early because of the loud noise of the traffic outside my bedroom window in the morning. On this particular morning, everything seemed strangely silent. I looked out of the window and realized why: There was a thick blanket of snow on the road and it was still snowing heavily. I panicked. Clearly now I’d have to go by train. I telephoned the station and asked what time the next train down to London would be. I was informed that all services had been cancelled. I asked by whom they had been cancelled. I never knew the answer to that question because I’d been cut off.
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。
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day.

However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road.

A.In 1899. B.In 1900. C.In 1890.
【答案】18.A 19.B 20.B
【原文】In New Zealand, Labor Day is a public holiday. It is held on the fourth Monday in October. Its origin is traced back to the eight-hour workday movement. It started in the newly founded Wellington colony in 1840, mainly because of carpenter Samuel Parnell’s refusal to work more than eight hours a day. He also encouraged other tradesmen to work for only eight hours a day. In October 1840 a workers group passed a resolution supporting the idea. On October twenty eighth 1890 the fiftieth anniversary of the eight-hour day was celebrated with a parade. The event was then celebrated in late October every year as either Labor Day or eight-hour celebration day. In 1899 the government ordered that the day be a public holiday. Starting in 1900, the day was celebrated on different days in different provinces. Ship owners complained that seamen were taking too many holidays because Labor Day was celebrated in one port and then again in the next port. So, in 1910 the government declared that the holiday would be observed on the same day in all parts of the country.

Texan 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days, proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.
Their first stop was a location that challenges even many experienced travelers: the Antarctic. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling, slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding onto dear life.” Hamby said. The voyage, however, faded from their mind as they set foot on the ground of the Antarctic, fascinated by the breathtaking beauty of penguins, icebergs and glaciers.
Since that first venture, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents. They rode camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, danced in Nepal and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. And despite the challenges international travel presented, the good friends said they finished their trip without any argument. Though they’re both independent and stubborn, they respected each other’s feelings. And what they remember the most are the people that they encountered. “We got to know some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.” Hamby said.
The two shared a crucial piece of advice for travelers worrying about the language barrier on their own adventure. “You know, people often ask us about it.” said Hamby. “We tell them there's one universal language, and that’s the smile. We found it worked wonders because we were often aware that English was not always spoken and that that could cover all languages.”
They also encouraged other older people not to let age hold them back. Aside from some minor changes in plans — like deciding not to ride a motorbike in Bali because of concerns about falling-their age didn’t affect their journey abroad. They said they felt confident that if they were injured during their trip, their children would have been at peace knowing that they were doing what they wanted. And Hazelip described 81 as the perfect age to embark on a trip. “Getting older does give us a little bit of wisdom of making decisions.” she said.
24.What might the pair think of their trip to the Antarctic
A.Challenging but worthy. B.Expensive but exciting.
C.Interesting but fruitless. D.Unpleasant but impressive.
25.What is the highlight of the pair’s adventures for themselves
A.Learning about different cultures.
B.Meeting nice people along the way.
C.Experiencing many challenging activities.
D.Avoiding conflicts despite their stubborn nature.
26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.English. B.The pair’s advice.
C.The smile. D.The language barrier.
27.What can we infer about the pair from the last paragraph
A.They once fell off a motorbike in Bali.
B.Their family understood and supported them.
C.They regretted not exploring the world earlier.
D.Their wisdom saved them lots of time on the trip.

With the ocean covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said scientists and researchers had depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor which had charted only about 10% of the world’s ocean. For the ocean and coastal waters in the US, the number is just around 35%.
We know less about our planet’s ocean than what we know about the far side of the moon or the surface of Mars. Part of the reason for the lack of observation is the challenge of powering an underwater camera. Researchers have used ships to recharge cameras or observed with a camera tied to a ship to solve the issue, which is expensive and unsuitable for long-term observations.
Recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken a major step to iron out this problem by developing a battery-free, wireless underwater camera that could harvest energy underwater on its own for long periods.
To keep power consumption as low as possible, the researchers used off-the-shelf, ultra-low-power imaging sensors. The device takes color photos, even in dark underwater environments, and sends image data wirelessly through the water.
The camera is powered by sound. It changes mechanical energy from sound waves traveling through water into electrical energy that powers its imaging and communications equipment. After getting and encoding image data, the camera also uses sound waves to send the data to a receiver that reconstructs the image. Those sound waves could come from any source, like a passing ship or marine life. As it doesn’t need a power source, the camera could run for weeks on end before getting it back, enabling scientists to search remote parts of the ocean for new species.
Now that researchers have demonstrated a working prototype (原型), they plan to enhance the device so it is practical in real-world settings. For future application, these cameras may be used to take images of ocean pollution and create more accurate models to monitor climate change to better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world, and advance various undersea scientific fields.
28.What do the data in paragraph 1 mainly show
A.Undersea exploration is poor in the US.
B.Much of the planet’s ocean remains unexplored.
C.The mapping of the sea floor is time-consuming.
D.Technology development matters a lot to sea observation.
29.What limits the researchers’ undersea exploration according to the text
A.The complexity of the sea environment.
B.The concern about potential sea pollution.
C.The shortage of investment in ocean exploration.
D.The inability to effectively power underwater cameras.
30.What does the underlined phrase “iron out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Overcome. B.Face.
C.Analyze. D.Illustrate.
31.Which of the following can best describe the MIT underwater camera
A.Secure and stable. B.Expensive but effective.
C.Impractical but advanced. D.Self-sufficient and energy-saving.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.A 31.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是麻省理工学院的研究人员开发了一种将声波在水中传播的机械能转化为电能,为成像和通信设备提供动力的无线水下相机。
28.推理判断题。根据首段“With the ocean covering more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said scientists and researchers had depended on sonar (声呐) technologies to understand and map the sea floor which had charted only about 10% of the world’s ocean. For the ocean and coastal waters in the US, the number is just around 35%.(由于海洋覆盖了地球表面的70%以上,美国国家海洋和大气管理局表示,科学家和研究人员依靠声纳技术来了解和绘制海底地图,而海底地图只占世界海洋面积的10%左右。对于美国的海洋和沿海水域,这一数字仅为35%左右。)”可知,海洋占地球表面面积的70%,而科学家和研究人员依靠声纳技术来了解和绘制的海底地图只占10%左右,美国海域,这一数字也只占35%左右,这些数据表明了地球上的大部分海洋仍未被探索。故选B项。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Part of the reason for the lack of observation is the challenge of powering an underwater camera.(缺乏观察的部分原因是水下摄像机的供电困难。)”可知,缺乏对海洋观察的部分原因是水下摄像机的供电困难,由此可知,无法有效地为水下摄像机提供动力限制了研究者的海底探索。故选D项。
30.词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Part of the reason for the lack of observation is the challenge of powering an underwater camera.(缺乏观察的部分原因是水下摄像机的供电困难。)”可知,无法有效地为水下摄像机提供动力限制了研究者的海底探索,结合画线短语前的“Recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken a major step(最近,麻省理工学院的研究人员迈出了重要的一步)”可知,就这个问题麻省理工学院的研究人员迈出了重要的一步。结合画线短语后的“by developing a battery-free, wireless underwater camera that could harvest energy underwater on its own for long periods.(他们开发了一种无需电池的无线水下相机,这种相机可以在水下长时间收集能量。)”可知,他们开发了一种无需电池的无线水下相机,这种相机能在水下长时间收集能量,由此推知,麻省理工学院的研究人员应该是在解决这个问题方面迈出了重要的一步,所以画线短语的意思应与“解决”意义相近。故选A项。
31.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The camera is powered by sound. It changes mechanical energy from sound waves traveling through water into electrical energy that powers its imaging and communications equipment.(这台摄像机是由声音驱动的。它将声波在水中传播的机械能转化为电能,为成像和通信设备提供动力。)”可知,该摄像机将声波转化成电能为成像和通信提供动力,由此可知,该相机可以自给自足,结合下文中的“As it doesn’t need a power source, the camera could run for weeks on end before getting it back, enabling scientists to search remote parts of the ocean for new species.(由于它不需要电源,相机可以连续运行数周才返回,使科学家能够在海洋的偏远地区寻找新物种。)”可知,这种摄像机不需要电源,所以可以节约能源。综合以上信息,该摄像机既可以自给自足又能节约能源。故选D项。

The male western tanager (唐纳雀) looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons—like when winter ends and spring begins—are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”
“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
32.What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers’ survival
A.Global warming. B.The duration of changing seasons.
C.Loss of habitats due to human activities. D.Decreased access to foods during migration.
33.What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers
A.It covers a wider geographic range. B.It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C.It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D.It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.
34.What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds
A.Lessen the effects of climate change. B.Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C.Address emissions and habitat loss. D.Expand researches on threats to birds.
35.Where is the text most likely from
A.A scientific journal. B.A bird-watching guidebook.
C.A website about climate change. D.A magazine about wildlife conservation.
【答案】32.D 33.A 34.C 35.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章从唐纳雀入手,分析北美迁移鸟类面临的挑战及其原因,最后提出建议:希望尽快减少温室气体的排放,尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失。
32.推理判断题。由第二段中的“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.

(为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量,西方唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食。但随着全球气候变化导致春天提前到来,像唐纳雀这样的鸟类在所谓的“返青”之后才到达目的地,这时花朵开始绽放,昆虫开始出现。根据3月初发表在《美国科学院院刊》上的一项研究,这种迁移动物和它们的食物来源之间的时间不匹配,正在北美各地发生,可能会对候鸟的生存产生严重后果。)”可知,随着全球气候变化导致春季提前开始,唐纳德雀迁徙期间获得食物的机会减少。故选D项。
33.推理判断题。由第三段中的““By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).” (“相反,以前的研究主要集中在北美东部的鸣禽上,”加州大学洛杉矶分校的鸟类学Morgan Tingley说,“但这项新的调查表明,西部和食物网不同层次的鸟类物种可能同样脆弱。”)”可知,先前的研究的是北美东部的鸣禽,这项关于像西部唐纳雀这样的鸟类的新研究的独特之处在于它覆盖了更广泛的地理范围,不仅关注东北美地区的鸣禽,也包括西部及食物链不同层级上的鸟类。故选A项。
34.细节理解题。由最后一段“And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” (他希望这些信息将有助于强调尽快降低温室气体排放的迫切需要。“如果我们不能立即解决气候变化问题,那么尽我们所能阻止栖息地的丧失是非常重要的。”)”可知,作者期望能够尽快减少温室气体的排放,尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失。故选C项。
35.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由第二段中的“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as “green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge.

Speaking of one’s reading life, most people would probably think of their first book, or how many books they have read. However, I don’t have an answer to either, as all the books I’ve read are lost in my 41 memories. 42 , I haven’t lost everything in my long memory, so let me take you into my reading life.
My reading life started when I was one year old. I could only 43 small picture books on my small bed beside my mom. She was a great storyteller and always spoke while 44 a lot of facial expressions. Even if I couldn’t read, I could understand the 45 of her facial expressions. Sometimes I wonder why she didn’t choose a job as an 46 .
The second part of my reading life is called ”bridge book“. A bridge book is a kind of book that 47 picture books and textbooks. At that time, my Chinese and English 48 wasn’t very large, so I had to 49 bridge books as they were the easiest for me. I was like a frog in a well. I didn’t know there was a bigger world of books waiting for me to 50 .
The next period was between when I was five and a half to seven years old. In this period of my life, I started to see the world in a 51 and wider way. I started to walk out of that deep 52 and learned there were many books waiting for me. 53 bridge books, I went into the 54 of textbooks and started to read them. In the world of textbooks, I felt a door was opened in front of me, and the light was 55 through the door, so I stepped into the light and started to read tons and tons of books.

56.考查冠词。句意:中国是一个茶文化历史悠久的国家,几乎与中国本身的历史一样长。空处应用不定冠词泛指“一个”,long以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a,with a long history of“有着悠久的历史”。故填a。

67.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At the time I was living in a small village about 25 miles from London. That was the advantage of living there because you could get to London in half an hour. That was by train of course. If you went by car, it’d take about three times as long especially if you travelled in the morning rush hour. The reason why I was giving you this travel information in detail was that I had to make a choice between the car and the train.
I’d seen an advertisement in a national newspaper, which had asked for someone who had some knowledge of computing, had worked at least for two years in car sales and finally was not afraid of travelling up and down the motorway to London every day from a place not far from where I lived. It seemed interesting work and was quite different from the job I had at the time. The interview was to take place at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in January.
Throughout the weekend I couldn’t make up my mind whether to travel by car or by train. At the end of Sunday I decided to drive my car because after all the job was to do with cars.
On the day of the interview I got up at 6:00 a.m. as I was terrified of being late. I usually woke up early because of the loud noise of the traffic outside my bedroom window in the morning. On this particular morning, everything seemed strangely silent. I looked out of the window and realized why: There was a thick blanket of snow on the road and it was still snowing heavily. I panicked. Clearly now I’d have to go by train. I telephoned the station and asked what time the next train down to London would be. I was informed that all services had been cancelled. I asked by whom they had been cancelled. I never knew the answer to that question because I’d been cut off.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day. After breakfast I managed to brush off all the snow from the car and fortunately I managed to get it started at the third attempt. Before long, I saw an enormous queue of cars one behind the other. I realized I was stuck right in the middle of a huge traffic jam. However, within five minutes the traffic was moving again and for the next two miles I was driving along the motorway at quite a good speed.
However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road. There were still about 10 miles to go. Immediately, I called the car assistance firm, who promised to come soon. I also phoned the firm I was supposed to have an interview with, sincerely apologizing I might be a little late. Eventually I reached my destination at 11:30 a.m. The interviewers asked me some really difficult questions. I sadly thought I’d failed. But two days later, I received an e-mail from them, reading they offered me the job because I still rushed to their company for the interview in such cold and terrible weather and they saw my potential excellent qualities.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,讲述了作者住在离伦敦25英里的一个小村子里,去伦敦一般有两个选择,一个是乘火车,半小时内可到达,另一个是开车,需要花费三倍的时间。作者在看到一则招聘广告后,需要在火车和汽车之间选择前往伦敦参加面试的交通方式。在周末犹豫不决后,作者决定开车去,因为这份工作与汽车相关。然而,面试当天早上,作者发现外面下着大雪,路面被雪覆盖,意识到必须改乘火车。但当作者联系火车站时,得知所有火车服务都被取消,电话也在询问原因时被切断。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“显然,我得重新考虑今天开车的事了。”可知,第一段可描写作者驾驶汽车上了路,但因为下雪的原因,遭遇了拥堵。
②由第二段首句内容“然而,没过多久,我的车就因为路滑而抛锚了。”可知,第二段可描写作者不得不向面试的公司说明情况,面试迟到了,而且过程可能不太顺利,以及因为作者坚持在这样的天气赶去面试,最终通过了面试。
2. 续写线索:重新考虑开车——驾驶汽车——遭遇拥堵——汽车抛锚——面试迟到,不顺利——通过面试
