Ⅱ.读后续写

Forrest
was
born
and
raised
in
the
Missouri
Ozarks,
miles
from
any
town.
When
he
was
not
yet
fourteen,
in
1951,
our
dad's
stroke
hit
in
the
middle
of
a
winter
storm
that
turned
small
streams
into
roaring
rivers
and
turned
grasslands
into
quagmires(沼泽),
followed
by
three
days
of
snow.
Somehow,
with
the
help
of
two
neighbors,
Forrest
got
our
father
to
a
hospital,
thirty
miles
away.
Dad's
stroke
changed
our
family.
Forrest
went
to
live
with
a
sister
in
Kansas.
I
stayed
in
Missouri.
Forrest
became
the
first
in
our
family
to
graduate
from
high
school
and
joined
the
Marines.
Back
in
Kansas,
he
fell
in
love,
got
married
and
became
a
fireman.
Soon
after,
he
was
blessed
with
a
daughter
and
two
sons.
When
his
marriage
broke
up,
he
stayed
a
month
or
three
with
my
children
and
me.
My
consulting
work
took
me
to
California.
Forrest
moved
to
Iowa,
remarried
and
became
a
leader
of
a
company.
In
July
2004,
my
son,
Matt,
out
of
college
for
two
years,
joined
me
for
a
fishing
trip
with
Uncle
Forrest.
It
was
a
jolt
to
me
that
Forrest
used
a
cane.
“Problem
with
my
circulation”
was
his
explanation.
He
built
a
fire
on
the
lake
bank
and
fried
our
catch.
“Just
like
we
were
boys,
living
with
dad
after
mom
died，”
he
laughed.
His
brown
eyes
flashed
when
Matt
landed
another
hill.
“Come
to
live
with
me,
boy.
We'll
fish
every
day.”
I'd
always
phoned
him
or
sent
a
thank?you
card
on
every
anniversary
of
dad's
stroke,
yet
I
was
a
bit
surprised
when
he
called
in
the
spring
of
2007.
“The
owner
of
the
company
where
I
work
passed
away.
His
wife
inherited(继承)
it.
She's
green
when
it
comes
to
business.”
答案
Paragraph
1：
A
few
months
later,
another
call
came.
Forrest
said,
“His
wife
wants
me
to
buy
the
company—just
a
monthly
payment
for
six
years.
What
do
you
think？”
I
asked
if
he
could
afford
it.
His
answer
was
that
he
could.
And
he
said
that
he
could
build
a
hospital
or
a
school
after
he
bought
it
in
California.
On
my
anniversary
call,
he
said,
“I'm
making
full
use
of
money.
I
think
a
school
or
a
hospital
is
a
good
choice.”
Paragraph
2：
In
September
2008,
he
had
a
different
request.
He
wanted
me
to
do
business
with
him.
I
said
that
I
would
like
to
think
it
over.
After
a
week,
I
replied
that
I
agreed
to
his
suggestion.
So
I
joined
him
in
running
the
school
that
he
had
set
up.
We
helped
many
children
that
couldn't
afford
their
fees.
Now
I
am
thankful
for
his
invitation
that
year,
which
gives
me
a
chance
to
do
a
meaningful
career.Unit

laugh?
More
than
2,000
years
ago
the
ancient
Greek
philosopher
Aristotle
considered
jokes
as
the
pleasure
resulting
from
a
feeling
of
success
by
showing
we're
better
than
someone
else
in
some
way.
According
to
him,
jokes
depend
mainly
on
showing
inferiority
in
another
person
or
group
of
persons—that
is，on
showing
that
they
are
worse
off
than
ourselves.
Jokes
raise
our
good
opinion
of
ourselves
at
someone
else's
expense.
Showing
how
much
better
we
are
than
other
people
is
not
only
one
reason
we
like
jokes.
People
may
also
use
jokes,
to
express
their
anger
or
cruelty
or
any
other
kind
of
action
that
is
not
acceptable
to
us.
We
feel
free
to
laugh
when
hearing
about
someone
sliding
on
a
banana
skin.
The
joke
lets
us
express
those
attitudes
which
are
usually
unacceptable
to
society.
This
is
probably
the
reason
why
some
of
the
jokes,
especially
those
involving
cruelty，are
so
popular
with
certain
people.
All
jokes
depend
on
our
enjoyment
of
laughing
at
something
strange
and
out
of
place
because
it's
different
from
things
happening
around
it.
The
same
situation
can
be
either
sad
or
pleasant,
depending
entirely
on
how
strange
and
out
of
place
it
is.
If
a
girl
in
a
bathing
suit
falls
into
a
swimming
pool,
we
don't
laugh
because
nothing
unusual
has
happened.
But
if
a
man
in
a
smart
suit
falls
into
a
swimming
pool,
the
situation
is
at
once
unusual
in
a
pleasant
way
and
we
laugh.
A
good
joke?teller
always
tries
to
build
up
a
situation
in
which
one
thing
is
expected
until
something
unexpected
suddenly
happens，and
so
we
laugh.

Ⅱ.七选五
Your
phone
is
running
low
on
power
while
you
are
waiting
to
fly
out
of
an
airport.
Then
you
discover
a
public
USB
charging
area
close
by.
__1__
Then
you
take
a
deep
breath
and
sit
back,
happy
to
get
the
power
for
free.
What
could
go
wrong?
Plenty.
In
addition
to
providing
an
electrical
current(电流),
phone
charging
cords
can
send
and
receive
data.
That
free
USB
charging
hub
at
an
airport,
hotel
or
any
other
public
place
may
not
only
charge
your
phone.
__2__
The
USB
charging
hub
could
be
connecting
to
your
phone
and
copying
your
contact
list,
email
and
text
messages,
voice
mail,
photographs
and
videos.
It
can
also
copy
passwords,
banking
information
and
any
other
information
stored
on
your
phone.
If
you
want
to
charge
your
phone
while
traveling,
you
have
other
choices
that
do
not
increase
your
risks.
Connect
your
phone
only
to
electrical
outlets
(插座)
so
data
transfer
is
not
possible.
__3__
It
is
better
to
use
a
distant
wall
outlet
than
a
nearby
USB
charging
hub.
Carry
an
extra,
fully?charged
battery.
Having
one
means
you
can
charge
your
phone
without
having
to
worry
about
carrying
a
special
cord
or
finding
a
power
outlet.
__4__
If
you
must
use
a
public
USB
charging
center,
be
sure
to
turn
off
your
phone
completely.
__5__
But
it
will
reduce
the
chances
of
it
happening,
depending
on
what
phone
you
have.
A．Remember
to
fully
charge
your
phone
before
you
leave
home
or
work.
B．It
also
could
be
transferring
information
to
and
from
the
device.
C．The
public
USB
charging
hub
may
even
download
programs
to
your
phone.
D．This
may
or
may
not
prevent
data
transfer.
E．You
can
charge
your
phone
with
the
extra
battery
wherever
you
are.
F．An
available
outlet
may
not
be
as
near
as
a
USB
charging
hub,
but
the
few
extra
steps
may
keep
your
information
safe.
G．You
quickly
reach
for
a
charge
cord
and
connect
your
phone
to
the
charging
hub.
本文是一篇说明文，主要说明在公共USB充电区免费充电存在风险，并给出其他安全充电的方法。
1．G 解析：上文说你会发现附近有一个公共的USB充电区域，空处下文提到你深吸一口气，舒服地坐好，为免费充电而高兴。所以空处应表示你把手机连接到充电口进行充电，故选G项“你很快拿到一根充电线，并把你的手机连接到充电中心”。
2．B 解析：上文说机场、酒店或其他公共场所的免费USB充电中心，不仅可以给你的手机充电，再结合空后一句可知，空处应表示USB充电中心的其他作用。B项提到它还可以把信息传入或输出设备，前后语义衔接，故选B。且B项中的also
与空前一句中的not
only
相呼应。
3．F 解析：根据空处所在段的内容可知，本段推荐使用距离稍远的墙上的电源插座，而不用邻近的USB充电中心，这样可以保证手机信息的安全。F项说一个可用的墙上的电源插座可能不像USB充电中心那么近，但是多走几步可以保证你的信息安全，前后逻辑关系紧密，故选F项。
4．E 解析：本段的主旨是携带一个额外的，充满电的电池，而E项说无论你在哪里，你都可以用这个额外的电池给手机充电，为具体描述，故选E项。
5．D 解析：上文提到如果必须使用USB充电中心充电，确保将手机彻底关机。下文说但这将减少发生这种情况的机会。D项“这可能会阻止数据传输，也可能不会”符合语境。D项中的This
指代关机这个行为，故选D项。Unit

A
Bill
Gates
and
the
president
of
General
Motors
have
met
for
lunch,
and
Bill
is
going
on
and
on
about
computer
technology.
“If
automotive
technology
had
kept
pace
with
computer
technology
over
the
past
few
decades,
you
would
now
be
driving
a
V?32
instead
of
a
V?8,
and
it
would
have
a
top
speed
of
10,000
miles
per
hour，”
says
Gates.
“Or,
you
could
have
an
economy
car
that
weighs
30
pounds
and
gets
a
thousand
miles
to
a
gallon
of
gas.
In
either
case,
the
sticker
price
of
a
new
car
would
be
less
than
$50.
Why
haven't
you
guys
kept
up？”
The
president
of
GM
smiles
and
says,
“Because
the
federal
government
won't
let
us
build
cars
that
crash
four
times
a
day.”
Why
is
that
funny
(or
not
funny,
as
the
case
may
be)?
Human
beings
love
to
laugh,
and
the
average
adult
laughs
17
times
a
day.
Humans
love
to
laugh
so
much
that
there
are
actually
industries
built
around
laughter.
Jokes,
sitcoms
and
comedians
are
all
designed
to
get
us
laughing,
because
laughing
feels
good.
For
us
it
seems
so
natural,
but
the
funny
thing
is
that
humans
are
one
of
the
only
species
that
laughs.
Laughter
is
actually
a
complex
response
that
involves
many
of
the
same
skills
used
in
solving
problems.
Laughter
is
a
great
thing—that's
why
we've
all
heard
the
saying,
“Laughter
is
the
best
medicine.”
There
is
strong
evidence
that
laughter
can
actually
improve
health
and
help
fight
disease.
In
this
article,
we'll
look
at
laughter—what
it
is,
what
happens
in
our
brains
when
we
laugh,
what
makes
us
laugh
and
how
it
can
make
us
healthier
and
happier.
You'll
also
learn
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
that

答案：B
B
I
have
heard
having
a
good
sense
of
humour
often
helps
in
breaking
the
ice.
Also
people
remember
you
because
of
your
humour.
But
I
think
I
don't
have
a
very
good
sense
of
humour.
Could
you
suggest
how
to
build
up
this?
—Radha
Karnik
This
is
a
great
question
that
is
unfortunately
difficult
to
answer.
I
can
only
give
you
my
views
on
this
topic,
which
may
or
may
not
be
correct.
I
know
that
my
sense
of
humour
developed
over
time.
When
I
was
younger
I
was
not
funny
at
all;
now
I
can
easily
make
people
laugh.
At
the
same
time,
sometimes
I
say
things
that
I
think
are
very
funny
but
others
do
not.
Improving
wit
and
humour,
I
believe,
is
an
ongoing
process.
Now,
there
are
various
forms
of
humour
and
everyone
has
their
individual
style.
Overall,
I
believe
being
fluent
in
a
language
is
very
important
for
being
witty
or
funny.
The
way
we
play
around
with
words
adds
the
“funny”
tag
to
an
otherwise
normal
sentence.
Also,
seeing
irony
is
very
important.
I
think
humour
is
often
the
link
between
two
unrelated
things.
In
my
experience,
laughing
frequently
and
appreciating
other
people's
jokes
and
wit
are
very
important.
Within
these,
finding
humour
in
everyday
normal
situations
is
the
key.
I
often
notice
what
is
going
on
around
me
and
say
funny
things
in
my
head
and
laugh
to
myself.
That
serves
almost
as
practice
when
I
am
in
a
group.
I
watch
comedy
shows
and
movies
and
I
am
sure
that
has
some
effects
on
helping
me
improve
my
sense
of
humour.
And
last,
having
confidence
that
you
are
witty
is
important.
There
will
always
be
someone
wittier
or
funnier
than
you,
which
is
fine.
Just
work
on
building
your
own
style.
Remember,
if
you
are
trying
to
be
funny
and
witty
in
order
to
break
the
ice
at
a
business
function,
be
careful.
In
those
situations,
humour
has
to
be
mild
and
politically
correct.
Yours，
Brad

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Yesterday
my
older
neighbor,
who
takes
care
of
part
of
our
garden
with
great
difficulty
and
efforts,
was
in
deep
shock.
Obviously,
my
cats
had
left
droppings
(粪便)
in
his
perfect
flower
beds.
Fortunately,
my
husband
and
I
weren't
at
home
when
this
happened,
so
he
vented
(发泄)
his
anger
on
my
friend
and
neighbor,
Katherine.
She
was
kind
enough
to
listen
to
him
and
to
go
down
into
the
garden
with
him
to
have
a
look.
She
even
took
a
picture!
When
I
got
home,
she
had
left
a
message
on
my
answering
machine
about
the
incident.
Having
heard
it
was
about
my
cats
again,
my
stomach
turned.
Last
year,
he
got
so
upset
that
he
threatened
(威胁)
to
put
rat
traps
on
the
roof,
hoping
that
would
warn
me
to
keep
my
cats
indoors.
So
I
was
a
little
worried.
However,
I
couldn't
help
but
laugh
when
I
heard
Katherine
tell
me
what
the
whole
incident
was
all
about.
I
understand
gardening
is
important
to
my
neighbor
and
that
he
keeps
his
garden
perfect
to
comfort
his
soul.
So
when
I
saw
him
in
the
garden
days
later,
I
went
over
to
talk
to
him.
And
the
talk
turned
out
to
be
quite
nice.
I
was
really
surprised
to
find
that
I
had
the
wisdom
not
to
respond
to
his
comments
on
my
cats.
Instead,
I
had
conversations
with
him
about
the
beautiful
flowers
he
had
planted,
the
color
combinations,
and
the
care
he
took
in
creating
such
a
sense
of
order.
I
tried
to
convey
my
understanding
and
appreciation
without
arguing
or
talking
down
to
him.
I
was
really
amazed
how
that
talk
turned
out.
We
hadn't
had
a
conversation
like
that
for
over
a
year!
本文讲述的是发生在邻里之间的小插曲。作者巧妙而智慧地通过一次愉快的谈话把她和那位邻居间的不愉快转变为友好。

all
his
time
on
his
garden
to
clean
his
soul

would
be
the
best
title
for
the

to
make
a
nice
conversation
between
neighbors

older
neighbor's
garden
C．Remember

cats
inside
all
the
time
D．An

brought
a
