Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Knowing the city is looking for volunteers for hospitality work for the delegation from Muscatine High School during the summer holiday, I am writing to apply for the post advertised on the Internet.
I’m convinced I have the right qualifications for it. For one thing, with fluent oral English, I have no difficulty in communicating with foreign visitors. For another, not only am I familiar with the history and traditions of our city, but also I have strong affection for them, which enables me to provide visitors with more professional service. All in all, I feel proud to promote and spread our fine culture.
I would be grateful if you could take my application into consideration. Looking forward to your early reply.

Ⅰ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了印度研究员艾哈迈德对于椰壳泥这种原料潜力的认识及靠此创办公司取得成功的故事。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to Dutch researchers, coco peat’s water-holding capacity, disease resistance, and renewable nature make it suitable for gardening and agricultural activities. Ahmed realized that coco peat could be a better alternative to peat moss and then started a company, Global Green Coir, in 2012.”以及第三段“He insisted on demonstrating the potential of the material.”可知,他了解这种材料的潜力后才开办的公司。故选A项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段“When Ahmed entered the market there were only few companies using this material as coco peat was not popular among people, and even coco peat was mostly considered as wastes. ‘At first people and companies used to give us coco peat for free,’ he said.”以及第三段“He was met with doubts at the beginning.”可知,他的产品在早期并不受人们的欢迎。故选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第一段 “After completing graduation in bio-technology from college, Ahmed worked as a researcher on agriculture in various places. He recalls that while studying about coco peat, he discovered that many countries used peat moss (泥炭苔) as an ingredient to keep soil rich.”可知,艾哈迈德从事农业研究工作时有所发现,说明他聪明;根据第三段“He was met with doubts at the beginning. He insisted on demonstrating the potential of the material. His efforts paid off and gained recognition slowly at home and abroad.”可知,即使受到怀疑,他也坚持下去,因此他是坚定的。故选C项。
4.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Ahmed realized that coco peat could be a better alternative to peat moss and then started a company, Global Green Coir, in 2012.”,第三段“His efforts paid off and gained recognition slowly at home and abroad. Ten percent of his business comes from India and the rest is from countries like the US, Europe, the Middle East, and more. Anyway, India is a huge market and most people are adapting to such products gradually.”和最后一段“Ahmed and his family made an initial investment of $5,000 to start the business. Now their sales volume of the last five years has been around $6 million.”可知,本文主要讲述了椰壳泥让艾哈迈德获得了成功。故选A项。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些选择职业目标的方法。
1.D 上文“Choosing a career goal is a personal exercise in figuring out what’s most important to you and your life.”说明选择职业目标需要弄清楚什么对你和你的人生重要;下文“To help you get started, we rounded up a few common career goal examples below.”提出总结了常见的职业目标示例。D项“然而,仍然很难知道目标是什么”与上文形成转折关系,并引出下文。故选D。
2.F 上文“What skills, certifications and experiences did they need to reach that position ”提出问题,说明要了解职业需要的相关技能、证书和经验,F项“这些问题将帮助你制订实现这一目标的具体步骤”承接上文,符合文意。F项中these questions指代上文中的问题。故选F。
3.C 下文“And explore where you might best fit in.”说明要探索自己最适合哪里,C项“确定你对这些公司的热情所在”说明探索自己感兴趣的地方,即探索自己最适合哪里,能引出下文,符合文意。故选C。

I’m more than delighted to receive your e-mail asking me about my career plan. Here’s what I want to share with you.
Of the wide range of rosy future, I want to be a teacher. For one thing, my dad is a teacher. His happiness of being a teacher motivates me. For another, teaching is meaningful and I am eager to convey what I know to those who are longing for education.
To achieve my dream, not only should I work diligently to have a good command of knowledge, but I should also try hard to be professional.

第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了加里的家庭因为父亲发生车祸陷入了无助的境地,加里选择去做兼职来补贴家用,却被自己的好朋友杰森看到了。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“‘加里 是你吗 ’杰森惊讶地睁大眼睛问道。”可知,第一段可描写杰森看到加里在打工感到惊讶,询问原因。
②由第二段首句内容“加里完成了他的工作后,走过来和杰森坐在一起。”可知,第二段可描写加里解释事情的经过以及杰森的态度和加里的感悟。
2.续写线索:见到加里—杰森惊讶—加里坦白—杰森的态度—加里感悟
One possible version:
“Gary Is that you ” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise. Gary’s heart skipped a beat as he nervously nodded, trying to keep his composure. “Yeah, it’s me,” he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. Jason’s expression shifted from shock to concern. “What are you doing here I thought you joined a reading club,” he said, his tone laced with confusion. Finally, Gary took a deep breath and confessed, “Actually, I didn’t join a club. I got a part-time job here to help with my family’s medical expenses.”
Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason. Gary explained the situation with his father’s accident and the financial strain it had put on their family. “I didn’t want to worry you, so I didn’t tell you the truth,” he said, looking down at his hands. “Gary, you should have told me,” he said gently. “We’re friends, and I would have helped if I could.” Gary smiled gratefully, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. “Thanks, Jason. It means a lot to me,” he replied. As they sat there, sharing a quiet moment, Gary knew that he had a true friend by his side, one who would stand by him through thick and thin.Period Five Writing

●Ⅰ 阅读理解
Growing up in coconut-rich regions in India and with his father working in the related industry, Anees Ahmed heard of coco peat (椰壳泥) at an early age. After completing graduation in bio-technology from college, Ahmed worked as a researcher on agriculture in various places. He recalls that while studying about coco peat, he discovered that many countries used peat moss (泥炭苔) as an ingredient to keep soil rich. The extraction of this material leads to the release of carbon dioxide, which further contributes to global warming.
According to Dutch researchers, coco peat’s water-holding capacity, disease resistance, and renewable nature make it suitable for gardening and agricultural activities. Ahmed realized that coco peat could be a better alternative to peat moss and then started a company, Global Green Coir, in 2012. When Ahmed entered the market there were only few companies using this material as coco peat was not popular among people, and even coco peat was mostly considered as wastes. “At first people and companies used to give us coco peat for free,” he said.
Now Ahmed’s company gets coco peat from coconut shell to make varied products like pots, bricks, blocks, and grow bags that are exported internationally. However, Ahmed’s journey was not without challenges. He was met with doubts at the beginning. He insisted on demonstrating the potential of the material. His efforts paid off and gained recognition slowly at home and abroad. Ten percent of his business comes from India and the rest is from countries like the US, Europe, the Middle East, and more. Anyway, India is a huge market and most people are adapting to such products gradually.
Ahmed and his family made an initial investment of $5,000 to start the business. Now their sales volume of the last five years has been around $6 million. “With increasing focus on organic farming, coco peat will soon gain more popularity. It is estimated that the coco peat market is expected to reach 5.26 billion by 2030 from 3.89 billion in 2023,” Ahmed said.
( )1. What inspired Ahmed to set up a company
A.He recognized the potential of coco peat.
B.Peat moss was used to enrich soil worldwide.
C.He had studied agriculture for many years.
D.He wanted to realize his father’s dream.
( )2. What problem was Ahmed faced with at the beginning of his business
A.There were a few competitors in the market.
B.His product was not popular among people.
C.His company suffered from lack of money.
D.Coco peat was not good enough at that time.
( )3. Which of the following can best describe Ahmed’s personality
A.Careful and independent.
B.Cautious and energetic.
C.Wise and determined.
D.Ambitious and kind.
( )4. What is the passage mainly about
A.Coco peat makes Ahmed a success.

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。
“Gary, here’s the weekend again. Shall we go to the newly completed basketball court to play basketball ” Jason asked his best friend excitedly. Instead of an enthusiastic reply, Gary looked away, stammering, “I can’t. I…I’ve joined a reading club.” His voice was so soft that Jason could barely catch his words. “To improve your reading All right. We can go another time then,” Jason said reassuringly (安慰地), confused as he was. As far as he knew, Gary had never declined any basketball-related activities. How come this was the case Shaking his head sceptically, Jason got on his bike, heading for the destination alone.
For the next few days, Gary stayed away from Jason in case he asked more questions. Unwilling to leave his best friend concerned about him, Gary wasn’t ready to tell Jason the truth that he had not joined a reading club but taken on a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant. A few days before, his father had a severe car accident and underwent a major operation. His condition required frequent visits to the hospital, which would contribute to huge medical expenses. The sudden misfortune threw the family into helplessness. His mother had to look after his father. Feeling it his responsibility to support the family at the crucial period, he landed a part-time job, which he thought was the best solution to easing his family’s financial stress.
The moment the dismissal bell rang, Gary rushed out of the school gate to get ready for his shift at the fast-food restaurant. He didn’t want to be late. Latecomers would have their extra allowance deducted (扣除). Customers streaming into the restaurant, Gary quickly took his position behind the counter as a teenager started placing his order. Gary’s fingers moved rapidly to key in the items ordered. The teenager moved aside to wait for his order after making the payment.
“Next order, please,” Gary said and looked up, only to find he was face to face with none other than Jason.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“Gary Is that you ” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise.
Paragraph 2:
Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason.

第二节 读后续写
[2024·山东烟台高二期末]
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。
“Gary, here's the weekend again. Shall we go to the newly
completed basketball court to play basketball ” Jason asked his
best friend excitedly. Instead of an enthusiastic reply, Gary
looked away, stammering, “I can't. I…I've joined a reading club.”
His voice was so soft that Jason could barely catch his words.
“To improve your reading All right. We can go another time
then,” Jason said reassuringly (安慰地), confused as he was. As
far as he knew, Gary had never declined any basketball-related
activities. How come this was the case Shaking his head
sceptically, Jason got on his bike, heading for the destination
alone.
For the next few days, Gary stayed away from Jason in
case he asked more questions. Unwilling to leave his best friend
concerned about him, Gary wasn't ready to tell Jason the truth
that he had not joined a reading club but taken on a part-time
job at a fast-food restaurant. A few days before, his father had
a severe car accident and underwent a major operation. His
condition required frequent visits to the hospital, which would
contribute to huge medical expenses. The sudden misfortune
threw the family into helplessness. His mother had to look after
his father. Feeling it his responsibility to support the family at
the crucial period, he landed a part-time job, which he thought
was the best solution to easing his family's financial stress.
The moment the dismissal bell rang, Gary rushed out of the
school gate to get ready for his shift at the fast-food restaurant.
He didn't want to be late. Latecomers would have their extra
allowance deducted (扣除). Customers streaming into the
restaurant, Gary quickly took his position behind the counter as
a teenager started placing his order. Gary's fingers moved
rapidly to key in the items ordered. The teenager moved aside
to wait for his order after making the payment.
“Next order, please,” Gary said and looked up, only to find
he was face to face with none other than Jason.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
“Gary Is that you ” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise. ____
Paragraph 2:
Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with
Jason._________________________________________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了加里的家庭因为父亲
发生车祸陷入了无助的境地，加里选择去做兼职来补贴家用，却被
自己的好朋友杰森看到了。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“‘加里？是你吗？’杰森惊讶地睁大眼睛问道。”
可知，第一段可描写杰森看到加里在打工感到惊讶，询问原因。
②由第二段首句内容“加里完成了他的工作后，走过来和杰森坐在一
起。”可知，第二段可描写加里解释事情的经过以及杰森的态度和加
里的感悟。
2.续写线索：见到加里—杰森惊讶—加里坦白—杰森的态度—加里感悟
One possible version:
“Gary Is that you ” Jason asked, eyes wide in surprise.
Gary's heart skipped a beat as he nervously nodded, trying to
keep his composure. “Yeah, it's me,” he replied, his voice
barely above a whisper. Jason's expression shifted from shock
to concern. “What are you doing here I thought you joined a
reading club,” he said, his tone laced with confusion. Finally,
Gary took a deep breath and confessed, “Actually, I didn't join
a club. I got a part-time job here to help with my family's
medical expenses.”
Having finished his work, Gary came up and sat with Jason.
Gary explained the situation with his father's accident and the
financial strain it had put on their family. “I didn't want to worry
you, so I didn't tell you the truth,” he said, looking down at
his hands. “Gary, you should have told me,” he said gently.
“We're friends, and I would have helped if I could.” Gary smiled
gratefully, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. “Thanks,
Jason. It means a lot to me,” he replied. As they sat there,
sharing a quiet moment, Gary knew that he had a true friend
by his side, one who would stand by him through thick and
thin.
