One possible version:
Two years ago, the worst flood happened in our village. It had been raining heavily for almost a week and the river near our house was rising higher and higher all the time.
My mother and I decided to go to my grandmother’s house, which was on higher land. It would be safer. Just as my mother was starting our car, we found that water was flowing in underneath the door. Realizing that we were trapped by the flood and that it became impossible for us to drive out, quickly we opened the door. Using the car seat as a step, we climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof.
It was getting dark and everything was flooded. Scared, I sat on the roof, with tears streaming down my face. We had no choice but to wait, using a raincoat to protect ourselves from the rain. Two hours later, we were exhausted, trembling with cold and fear.
Suddenly I saw a spotlight. The rescue team finally came by boat. Weak as I was, I struggled to my feet, shouting to the boat at the top of my lungs, “Help! Help! I’m here!” Fortunately, I was spotted and brought onto the rescue boat with my mother.
Never in my wildest dreams had I thought that I would run into such terrible trouble. I will never forget it. Luckily, we were saved finally. From then on, I believed that there’s still hope if I don’t lose heart and give up easily.

One possible version:
The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac jumped off his bicycle and dashed for the back door of the car. It was locked. He then ran around to the passenger door, but it was locked as well, so he began to climb through the open window. When spotting this, Paul quickly unlocked the door, and the frightened man dived in, slamming the door behind him. Paul looked out of the back window and saw the wolf standing over Mac’s bike as if it were a kill. Shortly after, the animal ran off.
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. Mac emerged from the car and hugged his friends. “I thought I was going to die,” Mac cried to them. Mac got his bicycle back, and the three men continued their road trip, agreeing to keep in one another’s sight line. A few miles down the road, Mac pulled over and burst into tears. “The rest of the trip was amazing, but I had to let the bad emotion out.”Period Four Writing
Ⅰ.A
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了漂浮房屋正在被探索中,来缓解过度拥挤,为一些容易遭受洪水和被淹没的地区提供解决方案。文章介绍了这种房屋的一些特点等内容。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fitted with solar panels and heat exchangers, the water home will be able to produce their own electricity during power cuts, in the event of a storm.”(安装了太阳能电池板和热交换器,水屋将能够在停电时自己发电,以防暴风雨。)可知,太阳能电池板和热交换器使得在漂浮的房子里发电成为可能。故选C。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their design was originally an entry to a competition to reduce London’s housing shortages, and has since been turned into a prototype.”(他们的设计最初是一个竞赛的参赛作品,旨在减少伦敦住房短缺,后来变成了一个原型。)可知,Baca Architects的设计最初是为了减轻住房负担。故选C。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“As the planet’s atmosphere warms, areas such as the Arctic are melting fast, contributing to rising sea level and higher risk of flooding.”(随着地球大气变暖,北极等地区正在快速融化,导致海平面上升,发生洪水的风险更高。)以及画线词所在句“The ocean is already reclaiming land in some parts of the world.”(海洋已经在世界某些地区reclaiming土地。)可知,世界上的一些地方已经被海洋再次占据了。故画线词的意思是“再次占领”。故选B。
4.D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To protect people living in areas that are likely to suffer flooding and rising sea level, a group of architects has designed a floating home.”(为了保护居住在可能遭受洪水和海平面上升的地区的人们,一群建筑师设计了一个漂浮的家。)并结合文章内容可知,D选项“漂浮房屋正在兴起,以保护人们免受洪水侵袭”最适合做文章标题。故选D。
B
【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海龟的危险处境,作者想拯救海龟并加入保护美国和墨西哥海岸和海洋生态系统的变革斗士中,体会到了适者生存,小海龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存。
5.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities.”(在狗、螃蟹、发展和石油泄漏的威胁之间,这些小生物让整个世界与它们对抗。直到2002年,在瓦哈卡社区,海龟狩猎不仅是一种常见的做法,也是文化和饮食的重要组成部分。)可知,文中没有提到极端的天气。故选C项。
6.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子“Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.”其中的结构“some…while others…”可知,while前后表示对比,while后面说“而另一些则几乎原地划动”,所以while前面是说“有些全速前进,充满活力和热情”,所以full steam ahead的意思是“充满活力和热情”。故选B项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. ‘One in 1,000.’ Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 minutes long, the last creature made his way to the sea.”(在每一次海浪中,我们都见证了适者生存,一些越过海浪,另一些则撞回岸边。它们为生命而战,让我眼眶湿润。一群鸟准备潜入大海寻找它们移动的目标。“千分之一。”大自然又残忍又富有同情心。30分钟后,最后一只生物来到了大海。)可知,小海龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存。故选D项。
8.C 推理判断题。根据全文可知,小海龟很难在恶劣的生活条件下生存,它们得与一切恶劣环境做斗争,适者生存,所以我们可以从作者拯救小海龟的经历中学到“停止斗争,你就会停止生活”。故选C项。

My experience of performing first aid
One Saturday afternoon, I was playing in the yard with my younger brother Tom, who was still in elementary school. I was playing with the dog under a tree while my brother Tom was climbing it. Suddenly Tom fell off the tree and his left leg was broken. Upon seeing this, I immediately gave him emergency treatment. I fixed his injured leg and comforted him to keep him calm. Then I called the ambulance and soon Tom was sent to hospital for further examination and treatment.
I was praised by my parents for my quick action, which made me happy and proud.
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了在二战期间,Lena和她的家人逃到了美国加州,跟匈牙利的一切都断了联系,包括她的好朋友Monika。在分别之前,她们约定一起买了象征她们友谊的围巾。几十年后,Lena的孙女Eliza要去参加工作面试,Lena就把围巾给了她,希望给孙女带来好运,Eliza去餐馆庆祝自己可能能得到那份工作,旁边的一位老妇人告诉Eliza她长得像自己的故友,老妇人的故友也戴着一条一样的围巾,Eliza猜测那个老妇人可能是自己奶奶的故友。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Eliza做了自我介绍,等着听那个女人的名字。”可知,第一段可描写Monika介绍自己,Eliza确认Monika是奶奶的故友,Eliza邀请Monika去家里。
②由第二段首句内容“她们走了一小段路来到Lena家,急切地按响门铃。”可知,第二段可描写两位故友认出彼此以及她们的反应。
2.续写线索:Monika介绍自己—Eliza想起奶奶的故事—确认Monika是奶奶的故友—邀请Monika去家里—两人相认—泪流满面—交谈
One possible version:
Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. “My name’s Monika, dear. I’m originally from Hungary, but my family had to leave and I’ve been living here ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Monika, would you mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.” The old woman agreed. On the way, Monika felt her heart was racing with excitement.
They walked the short distance to Lena’s home and eagerly rang the doorbell. The moment Lena opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Although their faces showed signs of age, the two best friends recognized each other immediately. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment. The two of them talked for a long time afterwards, recalling their past events.Period Four Writing

On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedalled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that’s a big dog!” he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.
Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray(喷雾). With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶).
Mac was pedalling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easy to get caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.

[2024·浙江金华高二期末]
To protect people living in areas that are likely to suffer flooding and rising sea level, a group of architects has designed a floating home.
The project is a collaboration between British architect firm Grimshaw and Dutch manufacturer Concrete Valley. Currently at the design stage, the home will be constructed using a concrete and glass framework, which sits on a floating pontoon structure. In the event of a tidal surge or flooding, the pontoon rises with the water level to keep the home safe. Fitted with solar panels and heat exchangers, the water home will be able to produce their own electricity during power cuts, in the event of a storm.
Other firms are exploring floating homes, too. In the UK, Baca Architects has partnered with manufacturer Floating Homes. Their design was originally an entry to a competition to reduce London’s housing shortages, and has since been turned into a prototype. Baca Architects is exploring ways to provide practical, affordable, flood-resistant additional city housing, which could occupy unnecessary docks, canals and other waterways throughout London, Director Richard Coutts told The Guardian.
As the planet’s atmosphere warms, areas such as the Arctic are melting fast, contributing to rising sea level and higher risk of flooding. The ocean is already reclaiming land in some parts of the world. With the global population set to reach 9.8 billion people by mid-century, extreme flooding could further add pressure to limited land, water, food and other resources. These challenges are at the heart of the Virtual Ocean Dialogues, an initiative by the World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action. The online event provides a forum for more than 50 world leaders to address the most pressing challenges facing our oceans and develop ways to protect them.
While floating homes may be a common feature in parts of Asia and other developing regions, they are emerging as a way to relieve overcrowding and protect people in busy cities and urban areas which are likely to suffer from flooding.
( )1.What makes it possible to produce electricity in the floating home
A.The concrete and glass framework.
B.The tidal power.
C.Solar panels and heat exchangers.
D.The floating pontoon structure.
( )2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A.Floating homes will be useful but costly.
B.Floating homes have been put into use in London.
C.Baca Architects’ design was to ease the housing burden at first.
D.There is a competition among firms in the UK to explore floating homes.
( )3.Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “reclaiming” in Paragraph 4
A.Restoring. B.Reoccupying.
C.Redeveloping. D.Reshaping.
( )4.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Melting oceans are causing rising sea level
B.A forum is ongoing to explore floating homes
C.Many firms are working together to reduce housing shortages
D.Floating homes are emerging to protect people from flooding

Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village Huatulco is home to nine bays, 36 beaches and thousands of baby turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who were protecting coastal and marine ecosystems in the US and Mexico.
I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action. Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just four days during the rainy season, hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as 2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities. Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an average laying rate of 100 eggs, just one in 1,000 baby turtles will make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest, some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.” Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30 minutes long, the last creature made his way to the sea.
( )5.The baby turtles are threatened by various factors except .
A.the cruel hunters
B.the rapid development
C.the extreme weather
D.the oil-polluted ocean
( )6.What do the underlined words “full steam ahead” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.With slow pace and fear.
B.With all energy and enthusiasm.
C.With full caution and curiosity.
D.With great satisfaction and responsibility.
( )7.What does the author indicate by mentioning “One in 1,000.” in the last paragraph
A.One baby turtle in 1,000 can make his way to the sea.
B.Thousands of baby turtles were crashed back to shore.
C.The struggle of baby turtles for life touched the author.
D.Baby turtles can hardly survive the harsh living conditions.
( )8.What can we learn from the author’s experience in saving baby turtles
A.Think twice before you leap.
B.God helps those who help themselves.
C.Cease to struggle and you cease to live.
D.When the buying stops, the killing can too.

Lena could clearly remember the night she had to flee her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of the Second World War and her family needed to escape fast. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and—her most prized possession—a beautiful silk scarf. Lena and her best friend, Monika, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they each wore around their neck as a symbol of their friendship. Lena had no idea that when she left for America that night, she would never return. Her family settled on the sunny west coast in California.
Lena kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Lena was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but her granddaughter reassured her, “Don’t worry, grandma. Nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see, it is going to bring both of us luck today.” With that, Eliza kissed her grandmother on the cheek and left.
That afternoon, Eliza left the interview feeling confident that she had got the job. She decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she sat at her table, she felt someone staring at her.
Sitting next to her was an elderly woman who could not take her eyes off her. “I’m sorry, do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied in an accented voice. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you’re wearing around your neck.” Eliza felt goose bumps go up her arms. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the significance of the scarf. Could this be Monika, her grandmother’s childhood friend

The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac jumped off his
bicycle and dashed for the back door of the car. It was locked. He
then ran around to the passenger door, but it was locked as well,
so he began to climb through the open window. When spotting
this, Paul quickly unlocked the door, and the frightened man dived
in, slamming the door behind him. Paul looked out of the back
window and saw the wolf standing over Mac's bike as if it were a
kill. Shortly after, the animal ran off.
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. Mac
emerged from the car and hugged his friends. “I thought I was
going to die,” Mac cried to them. Mac got his bicycle back, and
the three men continued their road trip, agreeing to keep in one
another's sight line. A few miles down the road, Mac pulled over
and burst into tears. “The rest of the trip was amazing, but I had
to let the bad emotion out.”

flooding and rising sea level, a group of architects has designed a
floating home.
The project is a collaboration between British architect firm
Grimshaw and Dutch manufacturer Concrete Valley. Currently at the
design stage, the home will be constructed using a concrete and

glass framework, which sits on a floating pontoon structure. In the
event of a tidal surge or flooding, the pontoon rises with the
water level to keep the home safe. Fitted with solar panels and
heat exchangers, the water home will be able to produce their
own electricity during power cuts, in the event of a storm.
Other firms are exploring floating homes, too. In the UK, Baca
Architects has partnered with manufacturer Floating Homes. Their
design was originally an entry to a competition to reduce London's
housing shortages, and has since been turned into a prototype.

Baca Architects is exploring ways to provide practical, affordable,
flood-resistant additional city housing, which could occupy
unnecessary docks, canals and other waterways throughout London,
Director Richard Coutts told The Guardian.
As the planet's atmosphere warms, areas such as the Arctic are
melting fast, contributing to rising sea level and higher risk of
flooding. The ocean is already reclaiming land in some parts of the
world. With the global population set to reach 9.8 billion people
by mid-century, extreme flooding could further add pressure to

limited land, water, food and other resources. These challenges are
at the heart of the Virtual Ocean Dialogues, an initiative by the
World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action. The online
event provides a forum for more than 50 world leaders to address
the most pressing challenges facing our oceans and develop ways
to protect them.
While floating homes may be a common feature in parts of
Asia and other developing regions, they are emerging as a way to
relieve overcrowding and protect people in busy cities and urban
areas which are likely to suffer from flooding.

Lying in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, the fishing village
Huatulco is home to nine bays, 36 beaches and thousands of baby
turtles that apparently needed me. I had three open days on my
calendar, and a desire to save some turtles. And so, away I went
to Huatulco with Wildcoast, a group of champions-for-change who
were protecting coastal and marine ecosystems in the US and
Mexico.

I was taken to La Escobilla to experience Wildcoast in action.
Just one hour north of Huatulco, this protected beach is where
mass turtle nesting happens. This natural phenomenon lasts just
four days during the rainy season, hundreds of thousands of
female sea turtles swinging their way ashore to lay their eggs.
Between threats of dogs, crabs, development and oil spills, the
little creatures have the whole world against them. As recently as
2002, turtles hunting was not only a common practice, but an
important part of the culture and diet in the Oaxaca communities.

Luckily, Wildcoast rescues turtle eggs and recreates habitats by
monitoring temperatures and humidity. Thanks to their efforts, the
sea turtles have made a major comeback, with now over 72 million
turtles being born on the beaches that Wildcoast protects.
I got to hold 50 of the tiny creatures in a bowl. Despite an
average laying rate of 100 eggs, just one in 1,000 baby turtles will
make it to adulthood. Gazing into the bowl, I so badly wanted
them to taste the sea and find shelter somewhere deep in the
ocean. Finally, it was time to liberate those little creatures. Out

spilled the creatures, some moving full steam ahead while others
barely paddled in place. Literally, hundreds of them began to
spread out across the beach.
With each set of waves, we witnessed the survival of the fittest,
some pushing past the whitewash while others crashed back to
shore. Their fight for life made my eyes wet. A flock of birds were
ready to dive into the sea for their moving targets. “One in 1,000.”
Nature was cruel and compassionate at the same time. After 30
minutes long, the last creature made his way to the sea.

第二节 读后续写
[2024·山东青岛第二中学高二期末]
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。
Lena could clearly remember the night she had to flee her
home in Hungary. It was the beginning of the Second World War
and her family needed to escape fast. She quickly packed a
suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and—her most
prized possession—a beautiful silk scarf. Lena and her best friend,
Monika, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they each wore around their neck as a symbol of their friendship. Lena had no idea that when she left for America that night, she would never return. Her family settled on the sunny west coast in California.
Lena kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she
decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first
job interview for good luck. Lena was afraid that Eliza would lose
the scarf, but her granddaughter reassured her, “Don't worry,
grandma. Nothing's going to happen to your scarf. You'll see, it is
going to bring both of us luck today.” With that, Eliza kissed her
grandmother on the cheek and left.
That afternoon, Eliza left the interview feeling confident that
she had got the job. She decided to celebrate by going to a
restaurant. As she sat at her table, she felt someone staring at her.
Sitting next to her was an elderly woman who could not take
her eyes off her. “I'm sorry, do I know you ” Eliza asked.
“I'm sorry, dear, but you remind me of someone I once knew,”
the old woman replied in an accented voice. “My best friend
looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're
wearing around your neck.” Eliza felt goose bumps go up her
arms. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and
knew the significance of the scarf. Could this be Monika, her
grandmother's childhood friend
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1：
Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the
other woman. ___________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
They walked the short distance to Lena's home and eagerly
rang the doorbell._______________________________________________________
【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在二战期间，Lena和她的
家人逃到了美国加州，跟匈牙利的一切都断了联系，包括她的好朋友Monika。
在分别之前，她们约定一起买了象征她们友谊的围巾。几十年后，Lena的孙
女Eliza要去参加工作面试，Lena就把围巾给了她，希望给孙女带来好运，
Eliza去餐馆庆祝自己可能能得到那份工作，旁边的一位老妇人告诉Eliza她长
得像自己的故友，老妇人的故友也戴着一条一样的围巾，Eliza猜测那个老妇人
可能是自己奶奶的故友。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Eliza做了自我介绍，等着听那个女人的名字。”可知，
第一段可描写Monika介绍自己，Eliza确认Monika是奶奶的故友，Eliza邀请
Monika去家里。
②由第二段首句内容“她们走了一小段路来到Lena家，急切地按响门铃。”
可知，第二段可描写两位故友认出彼此以及她们的反应。
2.续写线索：Monika介绍自己—Eliza想起奶奶的故事—确认Monika是奶奶
的故友—邀请Monika去家里—两人相认—泪流满面—交谈
One possible version:
Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the
other woman. “My name's Monika, dear. I'm originally from
Hungary, but my family had to leave and I've been living here ever
since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother's best
friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must
be her grandmother's best friend, she said, “Monika, would you
mind coming with me right now I need to show you somebody.”
The old woman agreed. On the way, Monika felt her heart was
racing with excitement.
They walked the short distance to Lena's home and eagerly
rang the doorbell. The moment Lena opened the door, she was
rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her
childhood friend standing in front of her. Although their faces
showed signs of age, the two best friends recognized each other
immediately. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other
tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment. The
two of them talked for a long time afterwards, recalling their past
events.
