Dear guests, teachers, and fellow students,
My name is Li Hua, and I am honoured to welcome you to the Martial Arts and Chinese Culture Summer Camp. To express our warmest welcome, we have arranged a series of activities on Chinese martial arts.
I will introduce the schedule of the summer camp. First, we will meet at the lecture hall, sharing ideas about martial arts with each other. After this, there will be excellent martial arts performances by our students, which I think will be a valuable growth experience and a rewarding journey for you. Besides, you will appreciate unique skills by great masters, which will be a feast for the eyes.
Finally, I hope the activity will be a great success and that everyone can learn much from it. That’s all. Thank you.Period Five Writing
Ⅰ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公克里斯汀·谢尔是“青绿色桌”运动的创始人,该运动的目的是与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的宣传和带动下,该运动现已成了国际性的运动。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise (青绿色) Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards.”以及第二段中“One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbours by hosting a party.”可推知,克里斯汀·谢尔发起这项运动的目的是与邻居建立密切关系。故选B项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.”可推知,这场运动在国内外都产生了巨大的影响。故选C项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favourite colour—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,’ she says.”以及后文克里斯汀后来发起了“青绿色桌”运动可知,克里斯汀具有创造性。根据第四段中“Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea.”可知,克里斯汀是一个热情、爱好交际的人。由此可推知,克里斯汀·谢尔是一个有创造力、善于交际的人。故选D项。
4.A 主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise (青绿色) Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards.”和最后一段“A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world.”可知,文章主要讲述了克里斯汀·谢尔在前院放置了一张青绿色桌子,目的是与邻居和陌生人建立联系。在她的带动下,该运动现已成为国际性运动。因此A项“欢迎所有人的桌子”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在Hampstead Christmas Festival上进行志愿服务的经历。
1.C 根据上文“Through the Rotaract programme, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills.”可知,上文提到年轻人可以在这里遇到新的人并学习新技能。因此,接下来应该是讲述Rotaract项目的另一个功能,即帮助当地社区。C项中的they指代上文中的young adults。故选C。
2.A 根据下文“My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!”可知,天气不好,很快作者的脚湿了。由此可推知前文描述的是一个寒冷、阴暗、下雨的日子。A项(那是一个又冷又阴暗的雨天)符合语境。故选A。
3.F 根据下文“…making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show.”可知,空处指出了作者他们的任务。F项(我们在会演的角色是站在舞台后面)符合语境。故选F。
4.B 下文“It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting,but it can always be fun.”进一步强调了志愿服务的乐趣。B项(志愿服务应该是有趣的)符合语境。故选B。
5.G 上文提到“We gave up our time to help out at the festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be.”,但下文却提到“For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required.”,即作者还做了其他的事情,比如为舞台提供更多的椅子。G项(我们不仅有一项重要的工作,而且在其他方面也提供了帮助)符合语境。故选G。
Ⅲ.第一节
One possible version:
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you the voluntary work I did in the local nursing house last weekend.
On our arrival, we were divided into groups and assigned tasks respectively. For the duration of the event, I accompanied the seniors for outdoor walks and helped them learn to use electronic devices. Also, I assisted in organizing recreational activities, such as board games and craft sessions.
Interacting with the elderly was incredibly rewarding. These activities not only allowed them to feel cared for and warm, but also gave me an opportunity to experience the joy of helping others and contributing to society.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了詹姆斯和拉斐尔在午餐时间偶然看到一名落水的男子。詹姆斯毫不犹豫地跳入冰冷且受到污染的河水中进行救援,而拉斐尔也跟着跳入水中帮助他的朋友。两人在水中费力地将这名失去意识的中年男子救回码头,并在周围人群的帮助下将男子救上岸并最终送往医院。文章强调了两个主人公的英勇行为,以及他们在紧急情况下的默契配合和无私救援的精神。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“码头上聚集了一群人。”可知,第一段可描写詹姆斯和拉斐尔及岸上人群合力营救中年男子的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,那人动了一下,又恢复了呼吸。”可知,第二段可描写中年男子恢复意识,并且救护车以及救援人员把他带走,以及描写詹姆斯和拉斐尔二人的感悟。
2.续写线索:路人伸出援助之手—二人成功救助男子—男子恢复意识—救护车和急救人员赶到—二人感悟
One possible version:
On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers found a rope and a life preserver, which they threw to James and Raphael. The friends put the victim’s arms and head through the life preserver and tied the rope around his body. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man’s dangling body slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Both men were thoroughly exhausted from the urgent rescue mission in the water.
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again. He lashed out confusedly, not knowing what was happening around. With the horn blowing, an ambulance and rescue workers came timely, loaded the nearly drowned man into the ambulance and drove away. James and Raphael never learned who he was, what became of him or how he’d fallen into the river. “If I know I’m capable,” James says, “why wouldn’t I help ” Raphael adds, laughing, “People always say ‘If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping ’. I think I answered that one.”Period Five Writing

Kristin Schell is the founder of The Turquoise (青绿色) Table, a movement of ordinary people who want to create community right in their own front yards. Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas.
One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbours by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise—my favourite colour—and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says.
That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people’.”
Neighbours began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbours asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel.
People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses and the pressure.
She likes how it enables her to take a small step towards easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says.
A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what colour it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says.
( )1. What was Kristin’s purpose of initiating the movement
A.To play with her family in her front yard.
B.To engage with people in the neighbourhood.
C.To help her neighbours to reduce the pressure.
D.To invite her friends and neighbours to her party.
( )2. What can we learn from the text
A.Kristin bought the turquoise table to host a party.
B.People refused to join in the front yard chat at first.
C.The campaign has a big impact at home and abroad.
D.People are unwilling to invite strangers to step into their houses.
( )3. Which of the following words can best describe Kristin according to the text
A.Caring and competent.
B.Friendly and reliable.

Yesterday I volunteered with some of my fellow Rotaract Club of Hampstead, Hendon, and Golders Green members at the Hampstead Christmas Festival. Rotaract is a service club for people aged 18 to 30. Through the Rotaract programme, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills. 1. .
When we arrived at the festival we had no idea what we would be asked to do. 2. . My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!
3. , making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show. I’m pleased to say we managed to do this successfully! We also were able to hear the Chicken Shed Theatre group and Angel Blue singing—both were brilliant.
However, volunteering isn’t supposed to be fun, is it It is supposed to be a selfless act which you do for others, so the fact that you don’t enjoy it doesn’t matter, right
Wrong! 4. ! It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting, but it can always be fun. And volunteering isn’t necessarily a selfless act—you can learn and develop skills, try new things, and meet lots of new and interesting people.
We gave up our time to help out at the festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be. 5. . For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required. We had a fantastic experience this Sunday afternoon.

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。
James, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past month, he’d been settling into the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college friend, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael.
Last week, the two met at lunchtime on Pier (码头) 15, overlooking the East River, when James froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Raphael could respond, James climbed over the rail (栏杆) at the edge of the pier and jumped into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes.
What James had heard was an anxious fisherman shouting from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating, lifeless.
Raphael didn’t need to see the victim. “Maybe James saw someone in the water who needs our help,” he thought. “Or maybe it’s James who needs my help. Either way, I’m going in.” He took off his shoes and dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, James saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the surface by the time James reached him. The rescuer dived, felt around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both got out of the surface. Raphael was there now. In the water, the two friends floated the man on his back. As Raphael put his arms around the man’s shoulders and James supported the bottom and knees, the pair pulled the man back to Pier 15. Their lungs heaved and their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the water.
They might have been dragging a dead body. The man’s skin was blue, and neither Raphael nor James detected any breathing. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out of the water The shore was half metre above their heads.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
On the pier, a crowd had gathered.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again.

Dear Chris,
I'm writing to share with you the voluntary work. .I did in
the local nursing house last weekend.
On our arrival, we were divided into groups and assigned
tasks respectively. For the duration of the event, I
accompanied the seniors for outdoor walks and helped them
learn to use electronic devices. Also, I assisted in organizing
recreational activities, such as board games and craft sessions.
Interacting with the elderly was incredibly rewarding.
These activities not only allowed them to feel cared for and
warm, but also gave me an opportunity to experience the
joy of helping others and contributing to society.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 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。
James, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was
just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past
month, he'd been settling into the New York City apartment he
was sharing with his college friend, an artificial intelligence
engineer named Raphael.
Last week, the two met at lunchtime on Pier (码头) 15,
overlooking the East River, when James froze. “Somebody's in
the water,” he said. Before Raphael could respond, James
climbed over the rail (栏杆) at the edge of the pier and jumped
into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove
his shoes.
What James had heard was an anxious fisherman shouting
from Pier 16, nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He's in the water!”
And what he'd seen was a person floating， lifeless.
Raphael didn't need to see the victim. “Maybe James saw
someone in the water who needs our help,” he thought. “Or
maybe it's James who needs my help. Either way, I'm going in.”
He took off his shoes and dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, James saw that it was
a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds,
respectably dressed and sinking fast. He was 3 feet below the
surface by the time James reached him. The rescuer dived, felt
around, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both
got out of the surface. Raphael was there now. In the water,
the two friends floated the man on his back. As Raphael put his
arms around the man's shoulders and James supported the
bottom and knees, the pair pulled the man back to Pier
15.Their lungs heaved and their muscles burned as they pushed
and pulled the immobile figure through the water.
They might have been dragging a dead body. The man's
skin was blue, and neither Raphael nor James detected any
breathing. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new
uncertainty. How to get out of the water The shore was half
metre above their heads.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
On the pier, a crowd had gathered._________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again.___________________
________________________________________________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了詹姆斯和拉斐尔在午餐
时间偶然看到一名落水的男子。詹姆斯毫不犹豫地跳入冰冷且受到污
染的河水中进行救援，而拉斐尔也跟着跳入水中帮助他的朋友。两人
在水中费力地将这名失去意识的中年男子救回码头，并在周围人群的
帮助下将男子救上岸并最终送往医院。文章强调了两个主人公的英勇
行为，以及他们在紧急情况下的默契配合和无私救援的精神。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“码头上聚集了一群人。”可知，第一段可描写詹
姆斯和拉斐尔及岸上人群合力营救中年男子的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“突然，那人动了一下，又恢复了呼吸。”可知，
第二段可描写中年男子恢复意识，并且救护车以及救援人员把他带
走，以及描写詹姆斯和拉斐尔二人的感悟。
2.续写线索：路人伸出援助之手—二人成功救助男子—男子恢复意
识—救护车和急救人员赶到—二人感悟
One possible version:
On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the
onlookers found a rope and a life preserver, which they threw
to James and Raphael. The friends put the victim's arms and
head through the life preserver and tied the rope around his
body. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd
pulling from above, the man's dangling body slowly rose until
helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Both men were
thoroughly exhausted from the urgent rescue mission in the
water.
Suddenly the man moved, breathing again. He lashed out
confusedly, not knowing what was happening around. With
the horn blowing, an ambulance and rescue workers came
timely, loaded the nearly drowned man into the ambulance
and drove away. James and Raphael never learned who he was,
what became of him or how he'd fallen into the river. “If I
know I'm capable,” James says, “why wouldn't I help ” Raphael
adds, laughing, “People always say ‘If your friend jumps off a
cliff, are you jumping ’. I think I answered that one.”
