2025届合肥二模英语试题｜读后续写“邻里冰雪天救助”
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。
On a bitterly cold January morning in Alexandria, Minnesota, the temperatures had dropped dangerously below freezing point, and biting winds made conditions even worse. Overnight, a thick blanket of snow had quietly covered the town, streets were deserted, and a sharp silence hung in the air. People stayed indoors, enjoying hot drinks and keeping their fireplaces burning brightly, cautious of the bitter cold that threatened frostbite and hypothermia (失温）.
The town was quiet as people remained indoors. However, Eleanor, an 83 - year - old lady who lived alone, worried the birds would go hungry in this freezing weather. As she struggled through deep snow, her boots had suddenly slipped on hidden ice beneath, causing her to fall. Unable to rise with wet gloves and numb (麻木的）fingers, she had been stuck in the snow. Unfortunately, she could turn to nobody for help.
Originally, Eric Nelson had no intention of stepping outside that morning. He stood at his kitchen window, briefly observing the frozen landscape and rubbing (搓）his hands together to stay warm. However, as he thought about the possibility of frozen water pipes—an inconvenience that could make the already unbearable cold worse— he decided to step out quickly and inspect them.
As Eric opened his front door, an icy wind struck his face, nearly taking his breath away. To his surprise, he noticed his elderly neighbor Eleanor's small dog, Maya, was already standing anxiously on his doorstep, shaking slightly but barking insistently. She moved her feet anxiously as her breath formed small white clouds in the cold air. Snow stuck to her fur, suggesting she had been outside for longer than was safe in such extreme temperatures.
Eric instantly sensed something was seriously wrong. Eleanor rarely went outside, especially in such extreme weather. Feeling increasingly uneasy, he quickly followed the anxious dog as she dashed urgently toward Eleanor's backyard. When he arrived, his heart sank. Eleanor lay helplessly on the snow - covered ground near a bird feeder, pale - faced and shaking uncontrollably.

主要内容分析
文章讲述在明尼苏达州亚历山德里亚一个极寒的冬日，气温远低于冰点，寒风凛冽，大雪覆盖，人们都待在室内以防冻伤和失温。独居的83岁老妇人埃莉诺担心鸟儿挨饿，在雪中行走时不慎滑倒，因手套潮湿、手指麻木无法起身，被困雪地。原本无意出门的埃里克，因考虑到水管可能结冰而外出检查，此时埃莉诺的小狗玛雅在他门前焦虑不安地吠叫，他跟随小狗发现了躺在雪地中的埃莉诺 。
文章结构分析
环境描写引入：开篇通过对极寒天气和被雪覆盖的小镇环境描写，营造紧张危险氛围，为后文人物遭遇困境做铺垫。
人物困境出现：介绍埃莉诺因担心鸟儿而外出，不幸滑倒被困，同时说明埃里克出门原因，推动情节发展。
情节转折：小狗玛雅的出现引起埃里克注意，引导他发现埃莉诺，将故事推向高潮。
续写思路
续写第一段：前文埃里克发现埃莉诺处于危险状态，续写第一段可围绕他如何紧急救助埃莉诺展开，如采取保暖措施、呼叫救援等，与前文玛雅报信、埃里克发现埃莉诺的情节相承接。
续写第二段：第一段应是埃莉诺得到救治，第二段从她出院后致谢切入，可表达她对埃里克的感激以及对邻里关系的感悟，与前文埃里克的善举以及邻里之间因这次事件产生的联系相照应 。
Para. 1 Without hesitation, Eric rushed to Eleanor. With a sense of urgency welling up inside him, he skidded across the icy snow towards her. Kneeling down beside her shivering body, he gently called her name, but Eleanor only moaned weakly in response. Her lips were purple, and her eyes were half - closed. Eric quickly took off his thick coat and wrapped it around her to avoid the biting cold that almost claimed her life. Then, using all his strength, he lifted her in his arms and carried her back to his warm house as fast as he could. The dog Maya followed him on the way. Once inside, he laid her in front of the fireplace and immediately called an ambulance, praying that she would pull through.
Para. 2 Two days later, Eleanor knocked on Eric's door after being released from the hospital. Standing at the door with a grateful smile, she reached out and hugged Eric tightly.“Eric, you're my savior,” she told him, her voice brimming with emotion. “If it hadn't been for you and Maya that cold day, the biting wind and freezing snow could have ended my life,” she added. Eric smiled and told her it was okay, explaining that they were neighbors and should look out for each other. Maya, wagging her tail happily, jumped around them. Eleanor, with a serious expression，stated, “I’ve come to understand that the bond of neighbors, strengthened by acts of help, has the power to rewrite the fate of life in the harshest condition.”A
It was cold outside. It seemed as if a snowstorm was approaching. As evening fell, the wind picked up its pace, howling through the streets like a wounded beast seeking solace in destruction. Then the snow started.
As usual, Tom and I worked overtime in the company. After finishing the work, we were ready to go home together. The snow was coming down even harder. Within minutes, I was in a whiteout. After giving Tom a ride, struggling to navigate the icy path, I took a shortcut so as to get home earlier.
The wind howled and whipped the flakes of snow into a frenzy, making it impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. The car was frozen and getting covered with snow, so I slowed down and rolled down my driver’s side window, thinking I could better follow the road edge and keep a straight line. But in fact, I had no clue where I was. I stopped and kept the car running to stay warm. I called 911. Unfortunately, the operator told me that the weather was too bad to do me a favor and asked me to wait out the storm for the night.

The call left me in a total panic. “Breathe,” I told myself, attempting to keep calm. Tom knew what had happened to me. “Maybe you could ask for help online and there must be some people living nearby your location and they can show you the right direction.” He told me on the phone. I posted my location online and explained what I was going through, wishing for anyone to come to my rescue.
Within minutes, responses started flooding in. Messages of encouragement and offers of help popped up on my phone screen like stars in the night sky. One local resident named Sarah messaged that she lived just a mile away and was familiar with the area. "Don't move! I'll come with my snowmobile," she typed. The wind outside continued to roar, shaking the car violently, but the warmth of these virtual strangers' kindness began to thaw the ice of my fear. Snow piled higher around the car, but my hope grew with each new message promising assistance.
Then I saw a big figure in the dark. A powerful flashlight beam cut through the swirling snowflakes, like a lighthouse guiding a ship in a storm. Sarah, bundled up in a thick coat, appeared beside my car. "You're safe now," she shouted over the howling wind. With her help, I managed to follow her snowmobile tracks back to the main road. As we reached her cozy cabin, the storm still raged outside, but inside, the crackling fireplace and a cup of hot cocoa made me feel truly rescued. The blizzard might have trapped me, but the kindness of strangers lit up the darkest night.

Winter in Woodstock, New York, was a season of biting winds and snowdrifts that buried the roads in icy silence. Temperatures dropped to -20'F, transforming the small old town into a frostbitten landscape. For many, the soft light of a fireplace was the only defense against the cold’s merciless grasp. Yet with a string of firewood rocketing to $ 350, warmth became a luxury some cannot afford.
This bitter reality troubled a local man known only as “the Woodsman.” A quiet figure in a worn woolen hat and faded coat, he drove an old pickup truck with a bed constantly loaded with firewood. Three years ago, he set up a roadside stand near the edge of town. A hand-painted sign read, “Honor System Leave Payment in the Box, Proceeds to Charity.” For months, the honor system developed successfully. Coins were cast into a box, and families carried off loads with gratitude.
The coins filled the box as neighbors praised his generosity. But as winter deepened, the coins grew insufficient. Some took wood without paying, leaving merely excuses whispered into the wind. The Woodsman didn't complain or shame. Instead of hate and anger, the Woodsman responded with reinvention. He painted over the sign and wrote a new promise: “if you can't afford firewood, ask me, I’ll deliver it free.” The words became a lifeline for those trembling in the cold.

One February night, a bad snowstorm knocked out power across Woodstock. An elderly couple, Arthur and Mabel Hayes, trembled beneath quilts in their darkened living room. Their fireplace sat empty, and they'd run out of their firewood earlier. Arthur's injured legs made cutting up wood impossible, and Mabel's pension couldn't stretch to that. Desperate, Mabel called Woodsman, “This is Mabel. We... we have run out of $350.” “Firewood" she hesitated, her breath visible in the freezing air. Before she could apologize, the line went silent.
Thirty minutes later, the headlights of a truck cut through the storm. The swirling snowflakes seemed to dance wildly in the beams of light, as if performing a chaotic ballet. The howling wind buffeted the truck, but it plowed steadily through the thick snowdrifts. The Woodsman stepped out with a large bundle of firewood, his shoulders dusted with snowflakes that melted instantly against his warm coat. Arthur and Mabel watched, their eyes filled with a mix of relief and gratitude. The Woodsman quickly stacked the firewood by the fireplace, and soon, the crackling flames chased away the chill in the room, casting a warm glow on their tired faces.
As he turned to leave, Mabel pressed a bottle of homemade apple jam into his hands. Outside, the storm still raged, but the wind seemed to have lost some of its bite. "This is the least I can do," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. The Woodsman hesitated, then nodded gratefully. Snowflakes gently landed on the bottle, like nature adding its own touch of appreciation. As he drove away, the truck's taillights gradually disappeared into the snowy darkness, leaving behind a warmth that extended far beyond the fire in the fireplace—a warmth born from kindness.
