Ⅱ.读后续写
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。
In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at the face of my 23-year-old son, his backpack by his side. We were saying goodbye. In a few hours he would be flying to France. He would be staying there for at least a year to learn another language and experience life in a different country.
Before his college graduation, one day I told Daniel that the great failing in my life had been that I didn't take a year or two off to travel when I finished college. This is the best way to develop a larger perspective on life. Once I had married and begun working, I found that the eagerness to live in another culture had disappeared.
Daniel thought about this. His friends said that he would be insane to put his career on hold. But he decided it was not so crazy. After graduation, he worked as a waiter at college, a bike messenger and a house painter. With the money he earned, he had enough to go to Paris.
Last night, I tossed in bed, unable to sleep. It was a transitional time for Daniel, a step from college into the adult world. I wanted to leave him some words that would have some meaning, some significance beyond the moment. I failed. Nothing came to my mind. Maybe, I thought, it wasn't necessary to say anything.
But I knew that it was necessary. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words and never having the memory of that moment.
Now, as I stood before Daniel, still nothing came from my lips. No sound broke the stillness of my beachside home. Outside, I could hear the shrill cries of seagulls as they circled the ever-changing surf of Long Island. Inside, I stood frozen and quiet, looking into the searching eyes of my son.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
What made it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment pass.
Thinking of those lost opportunities, now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.

6.handkerchiefs/handkerchieves
Ⅱ.1.in silence 2.take for granted 3.at fault 4.be freed from 5.with great attention
Ⅲ.1.poisonous 考查形容词。设空处作定语,修饰metals,表示“有毒的”,故填poisonous。
2.wounding 考查现在分词。句意:一颗炸弹在一家旅馆爆炸,导致6人死亡、另外5人受伤。根据句子结构判断,此处与killing six people并列作结果状语,且wound为及物动词,意为“使受伤”,和句子主语之间是主动关系,故填wounding。
3.emotional 考查形容词。句意:对于父母来说关注孩子的情绪问题是很重要的。空前为修饰成分children's,空后为名词problems,结合句意判断此处应用形容词,故填emotional。
4.in 考查介词。句意:一些一早关注社交媒体的人在他们的智能手机上发现了一条(语音)信息:一个女人以轻柔的声音说的“早上好!”。in a/an...voice意为“用……的声音”,故填介词in。
5.whom 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:该课程通常每年吸引约100名学生,其中多达一半来自国外。分析句子结构可知,“up to half of+设空处”引导非限制性定语从句。先行词是100 students,指人,且关系词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,故填whom。
6.that 考查强调句型。句意:当我们将要回家的时候,我才意识到帮助遇到困难的人是一种多么好的感觉。强调句型的基本结构为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”,此句被强调部分为when引导的时间状语从句,故填that。
7.painfully 考查副词。句意:他痛苦地意识到家人意见不一。设空处用来修饰形容词aware,所以用副词painfully。
8.amazed 考查形容词。句意:我妈妈看到我在院子里稳稳地骑着自行车,感到很惊奇。设空处作表语,描述人的感受,应用-ed形式的形容词,故填amazed。
9.As 考查介词。句意:作为一个以写作为生的人,他笔耕不辍。as表示“作为”,设空处位于句首,故填As。

写作指导
情节线 情感线
时间 “我”的儿子动身飞往法国前的几个小时 遗憾 不舍 焦虑 后悔 紧张
人物 “我”,“我”的儿子Daniel
背景 “我”告诉儿子自己后悔在大学毕业后没有去旅游来开阔视野。儿子毕业后决定去法国学习语言和体验生活。
开端 Daniel马上要离家去法国学习,体验新的生活。
发展 在这个特殊的时刻,“我”想对儿子说些什么,但表达不出来。
Para. 1 更糟糕的是,“我”知道这已经不是自己第一次让这样的时刻白白流逝了。
由续写的第二段首句中的“Thinking of those lost opportunities”判断,续写第一段应介绍“我”之前有过哪些“错失机会”的经历。
Para. 2 想到那些失去的机会,现在“我”的手心冒汗,喉咙发紧。
①想到这些,“我”做出了怎样的反应 对儿子说了什么 ②儿子对“我”的话有什么反应
One possible version:
What made it more difficult was that I knew this was not the first time I had let such a moment pass. My mind raced back to a summer vacation eight years ago, when Daniel would adventure into the forest with his three friends for the first time. Bags packed and tools ready, Daniel waited quietly for my final reminder. I just stared at him and said in a low voice, “Take care, son.” Another time, Daniel was to give a graduation speech in front of 1,500 students. Before going on stage, he inquired, “Mom, do you have any words for me ” “No, son, just believe in yourself.” I escaped his searching eyes and retreated into my seat.
Thinking of those lost opportunities, now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Finally, I mustered up my courage and blurted, “Son, I am so proud of you to make this decision because you possess the courage which I failed to have in pursuing the dream. I assure you this will be the most valuable asset in your life. Please take care and my love is always by your side.” Because of a lump in my throat, I could no longer continue. My son was also touched beyond words as tears brimmed in his eyes. Finally out came his mother's reminder and words he had been waiting for in the last 20 years.
