Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A self-portrait （自画像） of Vincent van Gogh smiled at me.The Dutch painter’s life and Post-Impressionist art are the subjects of “Beyond Van Gogh：An Immersive Experience”.The exhibition is now open in San Diego， California.It will continue touring through North and South America later this year.The self-guided tour includes important moments in Van Gogh’s life and some of the letters he sent to and received from his younger brother， Theo， who served as his art dealer and protector.More than 300 of Van Gogh’s paintings were digitally reproduced and edited into a 35-minute film that is presented on a large digital landscape using 360°-projection technology.
“Not everyone can go to a museum that owns a real Van Gogh painting，” said Samantha Kates， 14.Like many visitors， Samantha was attracted by the technology that allows viewers to interact with Van Gogh’s paintings.“There was a projector that was making all of these colours appear，” Samantha said.“It would also appear on my own skin， and that really made me feel a part of the painting.”
Samantha encouraged her younger sister to experience the exhibition.“I didn’t know anything about his life，” said 11-year-old Abby Kates.“I only knew the Starry Night painting.Now I know a lot about Van Gogh’s life， and I’m really interested in it.”
“My ‘Beyond Van Gogh’ experience was different because I got to do yoga，”Abby said.“It was peaceful， and we got to think deeply while enjoying the arts.”
“Yoga is really a process，”said Michael Caldwell， the founder of Yoga One San Diego， after teaching an hour-long class.“It brings awareness to the present moment.Doing yoga in an environment like the Van Gogh show really helps you focus on the constancy （永恒性） of change， which we can see through the exhibit with Van Gogh’s progress over time.And seeing that process in ourselves， we can better understand it， knowing that it’s about the journey rather than the destination.”
1.What can be learned about the Van Gogh exhibition？（ ）
A.It offers both self-guided tours and group tours.
B.It will come to an end in San Diego， California.
C.It exhibits the original works of Van Gogh on site.
D.It relies on technology to bring Van Gogh’s works to life.
2.Which of the following can best describe Samantha’s experience？（ ）
A.It was full of challenges.
B.It satisfied her curiosity.
C.It inspired her to visit more museums.
D.It helped her see her talent for drawing.
3.What did Abby do while visiting the exhibition？（ ）
A.She took a unique yoga class.
B.She copied the Starry Night painting.
C.She saw an hour-long film about Van Gogh.
D.She phoned her sister to share her excitement.
4.What do Caldwell’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us？（ ）
A.The difficulty in focusing on the arts.
B.The benefits of mixing yoga with the arts.
C.The best way to enjoy Van Gogh’s paintings.
D.The importance of doing yoga while traveling.

Sitting Pretty：The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body provides readers with a deep understanding and different viewpoint on disability， as reflected in Rebekah Taussig’s life.
Taussig， an independent woman and successful author， became paralyzed （瘫痪的） at age three following treatment for childhood cancer.Because her parents didn’t treat her any differently than her five brothers and sisters — several years passed before she got her first wheelchair — Taussig didn’t see herself as disabled at first.
“I continued to sleep on the top bunk （上铺） on the top floor of the house.I learned how to pull my body up the side of my bunk bed， using my arms to lift myself up higher and higher until I fell onto the top bunk，” Taussig says.“Like many young children， I believed that I was very beautiful， valuable， and able to contribute to the group.”
Her view finally changed as she began to understand — often painfully — how society considered people like her.“I slowly learned， with certainty， that I was not among those who would be needed， admired， wanted， or loved.”
Sitting Pretty draws readers into Taussig’s world with a relaxed， humorous and confident writing style.Through her communications with friends， family and strangers， Taussig shows that ableism （残障歧视） spreads widely in society， which is very unfair to people with disabilities.
While accepting the fact that she enjoys special privileges （特殊待遇） as someone who is highly educated （she holds a PhD in disability studies）， Taussig says that her greatest struggles aren’t always physical.Sitting Pretty directly points out that the biggest struggle is the common inability to see past disability so that all people can be fully accepted into society.Only with that emotional connection will it be possible to create a community of understanding and respect.Sitting Pretty is a refreshingly welcome and necessary addition to the voices that may help get everyone there.
5.What do we know about Sitting Pretty？（ ）
A.It is not popular among the disabled.
B.It was a gift Taussig’s parents sent to her.
C.It focuses on how to treat childhood cancer.
D.It is based on Taussig’s personal experience.
6.What do Taussig’s words in Paragraph 3 mainly show？（ ）
A.Taussig didn’t get used to life in a wheelchair.
B.Taussig didn’t view herself as having a disability.
C.Taussig had a hard time struggling against cancer.
D.Taussig expected to get special care from her parents.
7.What troubled Taussig most？（ ）
A.Her physical appearance.
B.Her bad educational background.
C.Her not getting special privileges.
D.Her not being fully accepted by others.
8.What does the underlined word “there” in the last paragraph refer to？（ ）
A.A place full of fresh ideas.
B.A world without any disability.
C.A society where everyone is connected.
D.A community where everyone is valued.

Ⅲ.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。
I don’t live in a city， but I can’t exactly say that I live in a farm town either.I don’t have to wake up early every day to milk a cow — but what I do have is a best friend who owns chickens.
My best friend Maggie and her family started raising chickens when we were both about eleven.What started off as twelve eggs in an incubator （孵化器） finally turned into thirty noisy birds.Every day when I walked over to Maggie’s house， we’d go out to the coops （鸡笼） and hunt for eggs.It was like receiving a warm little treasure when we would lift up a hen and collect the eggs.We became chicken experts together， so it wasn’t much of a surprise when her parents asked me to chicken-sit when they went on vacation.
It was one of the coldest weeks of the year， and Maggie’s family had left me caring for the chickens in thick snow.I would walk heavily down the street to her house twice a day to let the chickens into their enclosure （围场）， collect eggs， and then guide the birds back into their coops at night.I didn’t mind the work most of the time， but on the last night of my chicken tasks， the situation became ugly.
Almost every day that week， it snowed.Despite my cold hands， things were going as well as they could — considering the conditions.I collected a few eggs and spread out some cracked corn （玉米糁） as a late-night treat for the hens.The real trouble came when it was time to put the chickens to sleep.
Maggie’s dad was a clever man who created some devices that were meant to simplify the task of caring for the chickens.One of his inventions was a pulley （滑轮） system that made it possible to close the chicken coop doors without having to enter the enclosure.Usually， the pulley system didn’t cause a problem， but that night a piece of ice had formed on the rope that shut the chickens’ door.The door could only close partially.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Maggie’s dad had told me that it was okay to leave the door open if there were any issues.
Upon hearing my words， Mom comforted me and decided to lend a hand.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个互动式的梵高作品艺术展在加利福尼亚圣迭戈开幕。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，该展览把300多幅梵高的画作数字化并制作成电影，再使用360度全息投影技术将电影栩栩如生地展现在游客面前。即依靠技术将梵高的画作复活。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Samantha was attracted by the technology ... to interact with Van Gogh’s paintings可知，这次参观经历令Samantha很满意，满足了她通过科技与梵高的画作互动的好奇心。
3.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，Abby参观该艺术展时，一边欣赏梵高的画作，一边做瑜伽。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Caldwell认为瑜伽是一个过程，它可以让人们关注当下，在像梵高作品艺术展这样的环境中练习瑜伽，可以令瑜伽者专注于变化的永恒性，这种永恒性在梵高不断取得的进步中也可以看到。当人们在自己身上看到这个过程，也就能更好地理解这种永恒性。由此推断，Caldwell在本段告诉我们将瑜伽和艺术结合在一起的好处。
语篇解读：本文是一篇书评。文章是对Sitting Pretty：The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body一书的评论。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段内容尤其是as reflected in Rebekah Taussig’s life可知，Sitting Pretty根据作者Rebekah Taussig的个人经历创作而成。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Taussig三岁时因癌症治疗而瘫痪，但她的父母并没有区别对待她和她的兄弟姐妹，因此她起初并不认为自己有残疾。第三段引用Taussig的话详细描述了她自力更生爬到上铺睡觉以及她的自信（相信自己漂亮、有价值、能为团队做贡献），承接第二段内容，用实例说明Taussig不认为自己有残疾。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the biggest struggle is the common inability to see past disability so that all people can be fully accepted into society可推测，最令Taussig苦恼的是她没有被社会完全接纳。
8.D 词义猜测题。根据最后一段内容可知，Taussig在书中指出全社会普遍只关注一个人的残疾，而不把他们看作有能力、有价值的人，从而完全接纳他们，本文作者认同这种观点，认为只有通过情感的连接（指人们能够完全接纳他人），才有可能创造一个相互理解和尊重的社会。画线词所在句是作者对Sitting Pretty这本书的评价，承接上句作者所提出的观点，指出该书的意义。故there此处指代一个人人都能被重视、被尊重和接纳的社会。

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。一位曾患有韦斯特综合征的孩子的母亲通过跑步来筹钱买轮椅，以帮助患相同病症的儿童。

10.C 根据下文中的diagnosed （诊断） with West syndrome.The disease ...和wheelchairs for children with West syndrome可知，这些轮椅被用来帮助患有罕见疾病的儿童。
11.A 根据语境可知，设空处所在部分指的是上文中提到的running for about seven years，即一段独特的历程。
12.C 下文中的what my daughter’s future was going to be和多次出现的daughter提示本空选择daughter，属于原词复现。
13.B 根据下文中的I didn’t know what I could do可知，得知女儿生病的消息后，Parra的心很痛。
14.A 根据下文中的So I decided to go for a 15 . 可知，Parra的丈夫建议她做一些她喜欢做的事。
15.A 根据第二段中的Parra has been running for about seven years.可知，Parra决定去跑步。
16.D 根据下文中的The first few times I cried可知，刚开始并不容易。
17.B 根据语境可知，I wasn’t sure what my daughter’s future was going to be与The first few times I cried之间是因果关系，故选择because。
18.C 根据下文中的After several more runs， she began to train for longer distances.可知，尽管困难，但是Parra没有放弃。
19.B 根据语境可知，经过长距离跑步训练后，Parra决定跑马拉松来支持女儿对抗疾病。
20.A 根据下文中的she had been magically cured和常识可知，他们的女儿痊愈了这件事应该是由医生告诉他们的，因此，Parra和丈夫接到的是女儿的医生打来的电话。
21.D 根据下文中的To date， Parra has run six marathons.可知，Parra为女儿跑了一次马拉松比赛后，女儿奇迹般地痊愈了，于是Parra决定为更多患有相同疾病的孩子跑马拉松比赛，即把她的脚步献给更多患有韦斯特综合征的孩子。
22.B 上文中的Parra runs marathons and other races to raise money for 9 . 提示本空选择raises，属于原词复现。
23.C 根据语境可知，设空处所在部分为定语从句，that指代上文中的foundation，故Parra希望和丈夫建立基金会，是为了帮助更多的孩子。
Ⅲ.
Maggie’s dad had told me that it was okay to leave the door open if there were any issues.I knew it was almost impossible for wild animals to enter the enclosure， but I still felt terrible about leaving my task unfinished.The thought of leaving the chickens unprotected from the bad weather also saddened me.I wasn’t willing to give up without a fight.Determined， I made an effort to try to get the door closed， but it didn’t work.After fifteen minutes of failed attempts， I became upset and decided to walk back home to ask my mom for help.
Upon hearing my words， Mom comforted me and decided to lend a hand.Armed with tools， we returned to Maggie’s house.Together， we cleared the ice on the rope and， finally， successfully closed the door.At that moment， a sense of pride washed over me.Although my week of chicken-sitting was over five years ago， the same mindset continues to guide me when it comes to carrying out responsibilities.No matter how difficult the situations are， there is always support and solutions to be found.As long as we keep going and bravely face challenges， we can win through.

A precious① family dinner
It is just past five o’clock on the Chinese New Year’s Eve②， and the dinner table is already covered with③ white china plates④ and bowls， full of all sorts⑤ of dishes： chicken， duck， pork⑥， fish and vegetables.[1]Luo Yan， 29， lifts the cover of a large bowl to breathe in⑦ the rich smell of the soup his wife and mother have prepared. Luo Yan’s son， Bofeng， happily takes a bite⑧ of the chicken his grandfather has selected⑨ for him.
Six-year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year， and he is full of joy and excitement.[2]Indeed， the whole family could not be happier to be together.Despite⑩ the cold outside，their happy faces fill the air with warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house.Luo Yan and his wife and sons have settled in the big city， far away from their hometown.Every year， they travel back for the Spring Festival， for their dream of “three generations under the same roof ”.
[1]his wife and mother have prepared是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句，修饰先行词the soup；动词不定式短语to breathe in ...作目的状语。
[2]“否定词（no/not/never/nothing/nobody）＋比较级”结构表示最高级含义， 可翻译为“没有比……更……的了，没有像……一样……的了”。could not be happier意为“最高兴的”。
The Luo family’s journey back to their hometown was a long and tiring one just a few years ago.[3]However， the high-speed train has made it much more convenient for them to go back home.[4]During the five-hour trip， they chatted excitedly with each other， their minds full of thoughts about their sweet home.
[3]句中“make＋it＋宾语补足语＋动词不定式短语”结构中，it是形式宾语，动词不定式短语to go back home作真正的宾语。
[4]句中their minds full of thoughts about their sweet home是独立主格结构，由“名词＋形容词短语”构成，在句中作状语。
[5] On their arrival， they find Luo’s parents eagerly waiting for them.Their home has been specially decorated for the joyous occasion .From the neat designs of the paper-cuttings on the windows， to the Spring Festival couplets on the door， and to the New Year paintings on the wall， everything represents joy， luck and happiness.Even the fish on the plate expresses a hope for nian nian you yu—yu means both “fish” and “plenty” in Chinese—“May you get more than you wish for every year”.
[5]“on/upon＋名词/doing”表示“一……就……”，相当于as soon as引导的时间状语从句。
After dinner， the hours until midnight go slowly by.The whole family are going to stay up late on the Chinese New Year’s Eve.[6]They gather around the television to watch the Spring Festival Gala ， while eating snacks ， chatting with each other and making dumplings that they will eat at the very start of the new year.In the warmth and comfort of the room ， Luo Yan talks about his plan for the future.“I hope we won’t have to be separated again，” he says， looking at his ageing parents .“My parents are getting old， and we should spend more time with them.We’ll come back more frequently and we’re also considering taking them to the city to live with us.[7]After all， home is where all family members are together.”
[6]句中while eating ...， chatting ...and making ...是“while＋doing”结构，是状语从句的省略形式，while之后省略了they are。
[7]where all family members are together是表语从句。
As midnight approaches， Luo Yan takes his parents， wife and sons outside to set off firecrackers.The whole village is lit up with colourful fireworks.[8]All over the country， people are celebrating their good fortune ， celebrating their family’s togetherness ， and celebrating their nation’s strength.
[8]三个并列的动词-ing短语celebrating their good fortune， celebrating their family’s togetherness， and celebrating their nation’s strength和are一起作谓语。

弥足珍贵的团圆饭
除夕刚过五点钟，饭桌上已经摆满了白瓷碗碟——鸡鸭鱼肉和蔬菜，满满当当的各色菜肴。29岁的罗言掀开一个大碗的盖子，嗅着母亲和妻子煲的汤所散发出的浓香。罗言的儿子博峰高兴地咬了一口爷爷为他挑选的鸡肉。
六岁的博峰都快一年没见爷爷奶奶了，他满心喜悦和激动。的确，一家人再没有比团团圆圆更高兴的事了。虽然外面天寒地冻，他们幸福的脸庞却让屋内的空气暖洋洋的，欢声笑语处处可闻。罗言一家四口已经在大城市定居，离家乡很远。不过，他们每年都回老家过春节，以实现他们“三代同堂”的梦想。
几年前，罗言一家的回乡之旅还是漫长而劳顿的。如今有了高铁，回趟家就方便多了。在五个小时的旅程中，他们兴奋地聊着天，心中想的都是温暖的家。
刚到家，他们就发现父母早就翘首以待了。家中已经为这个喜庆的场合特别布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐的剪纸，到门上的春联，再到墙上的年画，无不象征着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。甚至连盘子里的那条鱼也传达出“年年有余”的愿望——愿你年年得到的比你想要的更多。（“余”在汉语中和“鱼”同音，意思是“富足”。）
年夜饭后到午夜前的这几个小时缓慢流淌着。除夕之夜，一家人都要熬夜守岁。他们围坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，一边吃着零食，聊着天，一边包着新年伊始要吃的饺子。在温暖舒适的房间中，罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望我们不用再分开了，”他看着年迈的父母，“我爸妈年纪大了，我们应该多陪陪他们。我们会回家回得更勤一点，也考虑着把二老接到城里，跟我们一起生活。不管怎么说，一家人在哪，哪就是家。”
午夜将至，罗言带着父母妻儿到屋外放鞭炮。五颜六色的烟花把整个村子都照亮了。举国上下，人们都在庆祝自己的好福气，庆祝合家团聚，庆祝祖国富强。

的场合特别布置了一番。从窗上贴得整整齐齐的剪纸，到门上的春
联，再到墙上的年画，无不象征着欢乐、吉祥和幸福。甚至连盘子里
的那条鱼也传达出“年年有余”的愿望——愿你年年得到的比你想要
的更多。（“余”在汉语中和“鱼”同音，意思是“富足”。）
年夜饭后到午夜前的这几个小时缓慢流淌着。除夕之夜，一家人
都要熬夜守岁。他们围坐在电视机前看春节联欢晚会，一边吃着零
食，聊着天，一边包着新年伊始要吃的饺子。在温暖舒适的房间中，
罗言讲了他未来的打算。“我希望我们不用再分开了，”他看着年迈
的父母，“我爸妈年纪大了，我们应该多陪陪他们。我们会回家回得
更勤一点，也考虑着把二老接到城里，跟我们一起生活。不管怎么
说，一家人在哪，哪就是家。”
午夜将至，罗言带着父母妻儿到屋外放鞭炮。五颜六色的烟花把
整个村子都照亮了。举国上下，人们都在庆祝自己的好福气，庆祝合
家团聚，庆祝祖国富强。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A self-portrait （自画像） of Vincent van Gogh smiled at me.The
Dutch painter’s life and Post-Impressionist art are the subjects of
“Beyond Van Gogh：An Immersive Experience”.The exhibition is now
open in San Diego， California.It will continue touring through North and
South America later this year.The self-guided tour includes important
moments in Van Gogh’s life and some of the letters he sent to and
received from his younger brother， Theo， who served as his art dealer
and protector.
More than 300 of Van Gogh’s paintings were digitally reproduced and edited into a 35-minute film that is presented on a large digital landscape using 360°-projection technology.
“Not everyone can go to a museum that owns a real Van Gogh
painting，” said Samantha Kates， 14.Like many visitors， Samantha
was attracted by the technology that allows viewers to interact with Van
Gogh’s paintings.“There was a projector that was making all of these
colours appear，” Samantha said.“It would also appear on my own
skin， and that really made me feel a part of the painting.”
Samantha encouraged her younger sister to experience the
exhibition.“I didn’t know anything about his life，” said 11-year-old
Abby Kates.“I only knew the Starry Night painting.Now I know a lot
about Van Gogh’s life， and I’m really interested in it.”
“My ‘Beyond Van Gogh’ experience was different because I got
to do yoga，”Abby said.“It was peaceful， and we got to think deeply
while enjoying the arts.”
“Yoga is really a process，”said Michael Caldwell， the founder
of Yoga One San Diego， after teaching an hour-long class.“It brings
awareness to the present moment.Doing yoga in an environment like the
Van Gogh show really helps you focus on the constancy （永恒性） of
change， which we can see through the exhibit with Van Gogh’s
progress over time.And seeing that process in ourselves， we can better
understand it， knowing that it’s about the journey rather than the
destination.”

的好奇心。

伽是一个过程，它可以让人们关注当下，在像梵高作品艺术展这样
的环境中练习瑜伽，可以令瑜伽者专注于变化的永恒性，这种永恒
性在梵高不断取得的进步中也可以看到。当人们在自己身上看到这
个过程，也就能更好地理解这种永恒性。由此推断，Caldwell在本
段告诉我们将瑜伽和艺术结合在一起的好处。

Sitting Pretty：The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body
provides readers with a deep understanding and different viewpoint on
disability， as reflected in Rebekah Taussig’s life.
Taussig， an independent woman and successful author， became
paralyzed （瘫痪的） at age three following treatment for childhood
cancer.Because her parents didn’t treat her any differently than her five
brothers and sisters — several years passed before she got her first
wheelchair — Taussig didn’t see herself as disabled at first.
“I continued to sleep on the top bunk （上铺） on the top floor of
the house.I learned how to pull my body up the side of my bunk bed，
using my arms to lift myself up higher and higher until I fell onto the top
bunk，” Taussig says.“Like many young children， I believed that I
was very beautiful， valuable， and able to contribute to the group.”
Her view finally changed as she began to understand — often
painfully — how society considered people like her.“I slowly learned，
with certainty， that I was not among those who would be needed，
admired， wanted， or loved.”
Sitting Pretty draws readers into Taussig’s world with a relaxed，
humorous and confident writing style.Through her communications with
friends， family and strangers， Taussig shows that ableism （残障歧
视） spreads widely in society， which is very unfair to people with
disabilities.
While accepting the fact that she enjoys special privileges （特殊待
遇） as someone who is highly educated （she holds a PhD in disability
studies）， Taussig says that her greatest struggles aren’t always
physical.Sitting Pretty directly points out that the biggest struggle is the
common inability to see past disability so that all people can be fully
accepted into society.Only with that emotional connection will it be
possible to create a community of understanding and respect.Sitting Pretty
is a refreshingly welcome and necessary addition to the voices that may
help get everyone there.
语篇解读：本文是一篇书评。文章是对Sitting Pretty：The View from
My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body一书的评论。
5. What do we know about Sitting Pretty？（ ）
A. It is not popular among the disabled.
B. It was a gift Taussig’s parents sent to her.
C. It focuses on how to treat childhood cancer.
D. It is based on Taussig’s personal experience.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段内容尤其是as reflected in
Rebekah Taussig’s life可知，Sitting Pretty根据作者Rebekah Taussig
的个人经历创作而成。
6. What do Taussig’s words in Paragraph 3 mainly show？（ ）
A. Taussig didn’t get used to life in a wheelchair.
B. Taussig didn’t view herself as having a disability.
C. Taussig had a hard time struggling against cancer.
D. Taussig expected to get special care from her parents.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，Taussig三岁时因癌
症治疗而瘫痪，但她的父母并没有区别对待她和她的兄弟姐妹，因
此她起初并不认为自己有残疾。第三段引用Taussig的话详细描述了
她自力更生爬到上铺睡觉以及她的自信（相信自己漂亮、有价值、
能为团队做贡献），承接第二段内容，用实例说明Taussig不认为自
己有残疾。
7. What troubled Taussig most？（ ）
A. Her physical appearance.
B. Her bad educational background.
C. Her not getting special privileges.
D. Her not being fully accepted by others.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the biggest struggle is the
common inability to see past disability so that all people can be fully
accepted into society可推测，最令Taussig苦恼的是她没有被社会完
全接纳。
8. What does the underlined word “there” in the last paragraph refer
to？（ ）
A. A place full of fresh ideas.
B. A world without any disability.
C. A society where everyone is connected.
D. A community where everyone is valued.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据最后一段内容可知，Taussig在书中指
出全社会普遍只关注一个人的残疾，而不把他们看作有能力、有价
值的人，从而完全接纳他们，本文作者认同这种观点，认为只有通
过情感的连接（指人们能够完全接纳他人），才有可能创造一个相
互理解和尊重的社会。画线词所在句是作者对Sitting Pretty这本书
的评价，承接上句作者所提出的观点，指出该书的意义。故there此
处指代一个人人都能被重视、被尊重和接纳的社会。

Ⅲ.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。
I don’t live in a city， but I can’t exactly say that I live in a farm
town either.I don’t have to wake up early every day to milk a cow — but
what I do have is a best friend who owns chickens.
My best friend Maggie and her family started raising chickens when
we were both about eleven.What started off as twelve eggs in an incubator
（孵化器） finally turned into thirty noisy birds.Every day when I walked
over to Maggie’s house， we’d go out to the coops （鸡笼） and hunt
for eggs.It was like receiving a warm little treasure when we would lift up
a hen and collect the eggs.We became chicken experts together， so it
wasn’t much of a surprise when her parents asked me to chicken-sit when
they went on vacation.
It was one of the coldest weeks of the year， and Maggie’s family
had left me caring for the chickens in thick snow.I would walk heavily
down the street to her house twice a day to let the chickens into their
enclosure （围场）， collect eggs， and then guide the birds back into
their coops at night.I didn’t mind the work most of the time， but on the
last night of my chicken tasks， the situation became ugly.
Almost every day that week， it snowed.Despite my cold hands，
things were going as well as they could — considering the conditions.I
collected a few eggs and spread out some cracked corn （玉米糁） as a
late-night treat for the hens.The real trouble came when it was time to put
the chickens to sleep.
Maggie’s dad was a clever man who created some devices that were
meant to simplify the task of caring for the chickens.One of his inventions
was a pulley （滑轮） system that made it possible to close the chicken
coop doors without having to enter the enclosure.Usually， the pulley
system didn’t cause a problem， but that night a piece of ice had formed
on the rope that shut the chickens’ door.The door could only close
partially.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Maggie’s dad had told me that it was okay to leave the door open
if there were any issues.
Upon hearing my words， Mom comforted me and decided to lend
a hand.
参考范文：
Maggie’s dad had told me that it was okay to leave the door open if
there were any issues.I knew it was almost impossible for wild animals to
enter the enclosure， but I still felt terrible about leaving my task
unfinished.The thought of leaving the chickens unprotected from the bad
weather also saddened me.I wasn’t willing to give up without a
fight.Determined， I made an effort to try to get the door closed， but it didn’t work.After fifteen minutes of failed attempts， I became upset and decided to walk back home to ask my mom for help.
Upon hearing my words， Mom comforted me and decided to lend a
hand.Armed with tools， we returned to Maggie’s house.Together， we
cleared the ice on the rope and， finally， successfully closed the door.At
that moment， a sense of pride washed over me.Although my week of
chicken-sitting was over five years ago， the same mindset continues to
guide me when it comes to carrying out responsibilities.No matter how
difficult the situations are， there is always support and solutions to be
found.As long as we keep going and bravely face challenges， we can win
through.
