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。
“Why did Dad's job make us move to South America anyway?” I asked Mom. “The TV shows are in Spanish and I miss going to school. The worst part is that I don't have any friends here. All of the kids speak Spanish.”
“I know it's hard, sweetheart. I'm lonely here too,” Mom said. “It's hard to make friends when I can't talk to anybody.”
Mom hugged me. “We'll only be living here for eight more months.”
At that moment, eight months sounded like forever. A few days later, Dad said that a man at his work had a daughter my age. “Would you like to invite her over to play?”
“Does she speak English?”
“No,” Dad said, “but I can teach you a few Spanish words so the two of you can talk a little bit.” I shrugged (耸肩). “It's hard to be friends with someone when you can't really talk to them.” Dad nodded. “I understand, but you wished for a friend.”
“I mean a friend who speaks English.”
“I know, but this might be fun anyway. I'm going to ask her dad to bring her over to our house.”
The following afternoon, Maria and her dad came over. I felt funny because I didn't know how we'd play together without being able to talk to one another.
“Hola,” I said quietly, which means “hi” in Spanish.
Maria smiled and said something I didn't understand. I looked at Dad and whispered (低声说), “This isn't going to work.”
“Give it a chance,” he said.
Then Maria showed me a cardboard box. She'd brought a game called Connect Four. Dad smiled. “You don't need to speak the same language to play that game.”
Maria and I went to my bedroom and set up the game. We took turns putting the colored disks (圆片) into the board, trying to get four in a row. Suddenly Maria smiled and pointed at the four red pieces in a row.
I smiled and said, “You won. Good game.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Although I'm sure Maria didn't understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile. As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I'd actually made a friend.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲跟随父亲来到了南美洲,在那里所有的孩子都讲西班牙语,作者觉得自己在那里很难交到朋友。一天下午,Maria (玛利亚)来到作者家里,和作者开始玩游戏,有着不同语言和文化背景的他们能否顺利交流?他们最后成为好朋友了吗?
[精彩范文]
Although I'm sure Maria didn't understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile. It was a small but significant connection between us. We continued to play games and share laughter throughout the afternoon. I realized that even without words, we could communicate through gestures, expressions, and actions. It was a refreshing and eye opening experience for me. In the following days, Maria and I spent more time together. We discovered that we had similar interests in music and art. We would listen to songs and try to sing along, even if we didn't understand the lyrics. We would draw pictures and show them to each other, appreciating each other's creativity and imagination.
As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I'd actually made a friend. Friendship goes beyond words and transcends cultural barriers. It is about understanding, empathy, and a genuine connection with another person. Maria and I may have come from different backgrounds, but our shared experiences and moments of laughter brought us closer together. Living in South America was no longer a lonely and frustrating experience for me. Thanks to Maria, I had found a true friend and learned that friendship had no language boundaries. We may not have been able to have deep conversations, but our friendship was built on the foundation of joy, acceptance, and the celebration of our differences.
精深阅读
Down to earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down to earth. A person who is down to earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down to earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down to earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality (现实). He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
The person who is down to earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down to earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

——Listening and Speaking——
一、听力微技能——推测谈话双方的关系
要想了解谈话双方之间的关系,需要注意谈话双方是如何交谈的(例如,朋友之间通常称呼对方的名字),以及交谈中的一些特定的问题(例如,“请给我账单好吗?”表示说话者是顾客)。因此,在听录音时,捕捉关键词和说话人的语气很关键。
1.Q:What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
A.Friends. B.Parent and child.
C.Husband and wife.
录音:
W:What a big surprise! You know you didn't have to get me anything.
M:That's not true. Kids and I prepared this special gift for your birthday. Go check it out!
W:Really appreciate it, honey.
根据Kids and I和honey这些信息可推断,谈话双方是夫妻关系。
2.Q:What is the relationship between the speakers?
A.Customer and shop assistant.
B.Employer and employee.
C.Husband and wife.
录音:
W:Hello, sir. Can I help you?
M:I'm looking for something to wear on my first day at my new job.
W:Let me see what we have ... try these on. Tell me whether they fit well.
根据Can I help you?、 looking for something和Let me see what we have这些信息可推断,谈话双方的关系是顾客和店员。
3.Q:What is the probable relationship between the speakers?
A.Customer and clerk. B.Boss and employee.
C.Reporter and interviewee.
录音:
W:Mr Wallace, we were very pleased with your interview and would like to offer you the position of a clerk. And we'd like you to begin as soon as possible, perhaps in two weeks?
M:Wonderful! I am very happy to be able to join your organization.
根据interview、offer you the position和join your organization这些信息可推断,谈话双方的关系是老板与雇员。
二、话题口语表达(开放型)
用以下两个问题,和你的小伙伴互相提问,来了解语言的多样性和文化的差异性。
1.Facing different cultures, what should we do
___________________________________________________________________
2.Do you know of any Chinese expressions that often cause misunderstandings /confusion for people from other countries
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When facing different cultures, we should seek common ground and reserve differences.
A caution sign put in front of a restroom in a shopping mall says “Be careful of the wet floor”, which may be misunderstood by some foreigners as “Slide through the floor carefully”.

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。
“Why did Dad's job make us move to South America anyway?” I asked Mom. “The TV shows are in Spanish and I miss going to school. The worst part is that I don't have any friends here. All of the kids speak Spanish.”
“I know it's hard, sweetheart. I'm lonely here too,” Mom said. “It's hard to make friends when I can't talk to anybody.”
Mom hugged me. “We'll only be living here for eight more months.”
At that moment, eight months sounded like forever. A few days later, Dad said that a man at his work had a daughter my age. “Would you like to invite her over to play?”
“Does she speak English?”
“No,” Dad said, “but I can teach you a few Spanish words so the two of you can talk a little bit.” I shrugged (耸肩). “It's hard to be friends with someone when you can't really talk to them.” Dad nodded. “I understand, but you wished for a friend.”
“I mean a friend who speaks English.”
“I know, but this might be fun anyway. I'm going to ask her dad to bring her over to our house.”
The following afternoon, Maria and her dad came over. I felt funny because I didn't know how we'd play together without being able to talk to one another.
“Hola,” I said quietly, which means “hi” in Spanish.
Maria smiled and said something I didn't understand. I looked at Dad and whispered (低声说), “This isn't going to work.”
“Give it a chance,” he said.
Then Maria showed me a cardboard box. She'd brought a game called Connect Four. Dad smiled. “You don't need to speak the same language to play that game.”
Maria and I went to my bedroom and set up the game. We took turns putting the colored disks (圆片) into the board, trying to get four in a row. Suddenly Maria smiled and pointed at the four red pieces in a row.
I smiled and said, “You won. Good game.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Although I'm sure Maria didn't understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I'd actually made a friend. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲跟随父亲来到了南美洲,在那里所有的孩子都讲西班牙语,作者觉得自己在那里很难交到朋友。一天下午,Maria (玛利亚)来到作者家里,和作者开始玩游戏,有着不同语言和文化背景的他们能否顺利交流?他们最后成为好朋友了吗?
[精彩范文]
Although I'm sure Maria didn't understand my words, I could tell she understood my smile. It was a small but significant connection between us. We continued to play games and share laughter throughout the afternoon. I realized that even without words, we could communicate through gestures, expressions, and actions. It was a refreshing and eye opening experience for me. In the following days, Maria and I spent more time together. We discovered that we had similar interests in music and art. We would listen to songs and try to sing along, even if we didn't understand the lyrics. We would draw pictures and show them to each other, appreciating each other's creativity and imagination.
As we were both laughing, I realized that although we spoke different languages, I'd actually made a friend. Friendship goes beyond words and transcends cultural barriers. It is about understanding, empathy, and a genuine connection with another person. Maria and I may have come from different backgrounds, but our shared experiences and moments of laughter brought us closer together. Living in South America was no longer a lonely and frustrating experience for me. Thanks to Maria, I had found a true friend and learned that friendship had no language boundaries. We may not have been able to have deep conversations, but our friendship was built on the foundation of joy, acceptance, and the celebration of our differences.
Down to earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down to earth. A person who is down to earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down to earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down to earth.
精深阅读
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality (现实). He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个描述人的英文习语。

Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down to earth.
