Section Ⅳ Writing about an experience
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A few weeks ago， my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test.The grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to take.There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes.Then I saw something interesting.She made a joke， expressed gratitude that she didn’t have bigger problems， and finally made a plan on how to make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago.That one was unwilling to take responsibility.That one stayed in anger and blamed others.We expect our kids to learn and grow.We hope for it.However， most of us grow through adversity （逆境）， even trauma （精神创伤）.It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly.She searched for ways to get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was changing by the day.Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident， attack， natural disaster， or other life-changing happenings.The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through challenges uninjured.It’s been a scary and painful time， for everyone， in one way or another.We may experience disbelief， depression， and even denial.As time moves on， people who have experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical symptoms， emotional ups and downs， and even relationship problems.Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However， in one study， researchers surveyed nearly 385 people who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic.88 percent of the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive outcomes — They now have stronger family relationships and a greater appreciation of life.

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。
It was 2016 and I was 17.I was searching through online videos for something new to add to my circus skills.Training to be a circus performer， I could already do lots of tricks， but I really wanted to do something rare.
A video caught my eye！ It was about a circus performer shooting arrows with a bow-using her feet！ That was incredible！ I decided to do something like that， I bought a bow and arrow and then went straight to my circus school to start practising.
I was already good at handstands so the idea was that I’d stand on my hands and then shoot the arrow using my toes （脚趾）.I controlled the bow and arrow between my toes and at first I could barely get it to shoot one meter.But I kept at it， clocking in several hours a day.Along with practising my bow and arrow skills， I did weights and yoga to stay strong and flexible.
I dreamed of being a great full-time performer， so I kept it up.By the time I left school， I had shot a bullseye （靶心） from around 10 meters away.The world record was shooting a bullseye at 12 meters， so I was determined to beat it someday.
After I left school， Chayne Hultgren， a famous circus performer， offered to train me.I joined him at a festival in 2018 and had my own little side show， Later， we did a lot of popular shows.
“I’m worried about my toe grip （抓力），” I told Chayne.
“Sandpaper the skin between your toes to cause friction，” he suggested.
I was determined to make it， so I took his advice.I sanded the skin until my toes bled.It was painful but I held on and gradually the flesh between my toes toughened up， increasing my toe grip.
Eventually， I could shoot a target further than 12 meters， so I contacted the Guinness World Records to find out what I’d need to do to enter.The trick needed to be filmed from different angles and several people had to witness it.The distance had to be measured by a qualified surveyor.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
On 15 August 2022， with all in place， I went to a tennis court where I’d make my attempt.
Then I sent all the information to the Guinness World Records to check on it.

After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes， I decided to use my hands.I reached down， expecting rice and vegetables， but instead stuck my hand into a bowl of warm， thick soup.“It’s best to use a spoon for this course，” the waiter said into my ear， helpfully but much too late.Even using a spoon， I spilled most of the soup on my shirt.I felt embarrassed， even though no one could see me.

Dining in the Dark
Recently I accompanied a friend to dine at a “dark restaurant”，
where people eat in complete darkness， served by blind staff.We
wanted to understand the experience of being blind， and we thought
eating would be the most difficult activity.
It was a difficult meal.Because we couldn’t see where anything
was， my friend and I knocked over glasses and dropped food.My
senses of taste and smell became more sensitive， and I ate much more
slowly， trying to guess what I was eating.Pouring water was very
difficult， plus I kept drinking from my friend’s glass.
After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes， I
decided to use my hands.I reached down， expecting rice and
vegetables， but instead stuck my hand into a bowl of warm， thick
soup.“It’s best to use a spoon for this course，” the waiter said into my
ear， helpfully but much too late.Even using a spoon， I spilled most
of the soup on my shirt.I felt embarrassed， even though no one could
see me.
Our waiter advised us to lift the plates and bowls close to our
faces.However， I still left the restaurant feeling hungry， though I
was much more aware of the challenges that blind people face.

更简洁、明快。第二句使用动词wanted和thought写出了作者这次经
历的目的和想法。
Para.2：What was the most difficult thing and why
首句总述了最困难的事，然后使用从属连词Because引出原因，
使用couldn’t see， knocked over， dropped等动词非常形象地描写出
在黑暗中就餐时的窘境。另外，trying to guess what I was eating这一
动词-ing形式作状语和Pouring water这一动词-ing形式作主语的使用
使表达富有变化。
Para.3：How the author overcame the difficulty
首句为过渡句，使用decided这一动词引出作者克服困难的方
法。第二句动词-ing形式expecting和并列连词but的使用突出了所
遇到的困难。It’s best to use ...这一句型用来表示提建议，使表达
非常准确。
Para.4：What the author has learned
However和though等过渡性词语、形容词hungry及形容词短
语much more aware of等的使用表达出作者当时的心情和此次经

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A few weeks ago， my teenage daughter Lisa failed a test.The
grade might stop her from qualifying for the next class she wants to
take.There were tears and some complaints for a few minutes.Then I
saw something interesting.She made a joke， expressed gratitude that
she didn’t have bigger problems， and finally made a plan on how to
make improvements.
She was never the same as she was one year ago.That one was
unwilling to take responsibility.That one stayed in anger and blamed
others.We expect our kids to learn and grow.We hope for it.However，
most of us grow through adversity （逆境）， even trauma （精神创
伤）.It happened to Lisa last year repeatedly.She searched for ways to
get her bearings and equip herself when everything around her was
changing by the day.Psychologists call it post-traumatic growth.
Trauma refers to an emotional response to a terrible event like an
accident， attack， natural disaster， or other life-changing
happenings.The growth after trauma doesn’t mean we get through
challenges uninjured.It’s been a scary and painful time， for
everyone， in one way or another.We may experience disbelief，
depression， and even denial.As time moves on， people who have
experienced trauma may have headaches or other physical
symptoms， emotional ups and downs， and even relationship
problems.Trauma does leave its irremovable marks.
However， in one study， researchers surveyed nearly 385 people
who experienced financial difficulty during the pandemic.88 percent of
the people surveyed say they also have experienced some positive
outcomes — They now have stronger family relationships and a
greater appreciation of life.

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。
It was 2016 and I was 17.I was searching through online videos for
something new to add to my circus skills.Training to be a circus
performer， I could already do lots of tricks， but I really wanted to
do something rare.
A video caught my eye！ It was about a circus performer shooting
arrows with a bow-using her feet！ That was incredible！ I decided to
do something like that， I bought a bow and arrow and then went
straight to my circus school to start practising.
I was already good at handstands so the idea was that I’d stand on
my hands and then shoot the arrow using my toes （脚趾）.I
controlled the bow and arrow between my toes and at first I could
barely get it to shoot one meter.But I kept at it， clocking in several
hours a day.Along with practising my bow and arrow skills， I did
weights and yoga to stay strong and flexible.
I dreamed of being a great full-time performer， so I kept it
up.By the time I left school， I had shot a bullseye （靶心） from
around 10 meters away.The world record was shooting a bullseye at 12
meters， so I was determined to beat it someday.
After I left school， Chayne Hultgren， a famous circus
performer， offered to train me.I joined him at a festival in 2018 and
had my own little side show， Later， we did a lot of popular shows.
“I’m worried about my toe grip （抓力），” I told Chayne.
“Sandpaper the skin between your toes to cause friction，” he
suggested.
I was determined to make it， so I took his advice.I sanded the
skin until my toes bled.It was painful but I held on and gradually the
flesh between my toes toughened up， increasing my toe grip.
Eventually， I could shoot a target further than 12 meters， so I
contacted the Guinness World Records to find out what I’d need to do
to enter.The trick needed to be filmed from different angles and
several people had to witness it.The distance had to be measured by a
qualified surveyor.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
On 15 August 2022， with all in place， I went to a tennis court
where I’d make my attempt.
Then I sent all the information to the Guinness World Records
to check on it.
参考范文：
On 15 August 2022， with all in place， I went to a tennis court
where I’d make my attempt.At first， I did the trick at 15 meters.The
crowds cheered for me.“I believe you can do better than that.” Chayne
said.Therefore， we put the target back a bit further.Eventually，
after about six goes， I managed to nail the bullseye from 18.27
meters， upside down， balancing on my hands while holding the bow
with one foot and pulling back the string with my toes.“You did it！”
screamed Chayne， running to hug me.
Then I sent all the information to the Guinness World Records to
check on it.Finally， five months later， in January 2023.I was up late
one night when I received an email from them， I was so thrilled and
relieved.This feat had been several years in the making！ From then
on， when my performance was introduced， the host could say I was
a world record holder.It was a great title！ I knew that my dream to be
a great full-time performer was going to come true.But I also knew
that I wouldn’t stop my step to achieving higher.
谢谢观看！
