As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱) have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution.
C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Water in Tunisia
B. Planting Trees of Native Species
C. Holding back the Sahara
D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了主人公图米在一次去突尼斯旅游的过程中激发了她要帮助当地人热情，由此创立了“Acacias for All”项目，改善当地农田，实践其可持续农业的理念。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. (9岁那年，她陪伴着身为突尼斯人的父亲，到突尼斯东部的出生地度假，这唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。)”可知，图米去突尼斯度假的经历唤醒了她帮助他人的热情。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“ A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱)have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.(平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯大约75%的农业土地受到沙漠化的威胁。)”可知，降雨量少是突尼斯农田沙漠化的主要原因。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. (她搬到突尼斯，并建立了一个名为“Acacias for All”的项目，将她的可持续农业理念付诸行动。)”以及最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.(截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民的成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金金合欢。)”可知，她创立“Acacias for All”项目的目的是保护当地的农田。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. (截至2016年9月，在20个试点农场种植了13万多棵金合欢树，农民的成活率达到60%。图米估计，为了保护突尼斯的农田，大约需要300万棵金合槐。)”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述的是主人公图米在9岁时，在一次陪伴爸爸去突尼斯旅游的过程中激发了她要帮助当地人热情，由此创立了“Acacias for All”项目，改善当地农田，坚持与沙漠作斗争，实践其可持续农业的理念。C选项“Holding back the Sahara(与撒哈拉沙漠作斗争)”符合文章标题。故选C。
C
WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seoul, she worried about finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop. The 23-year-old started a farm last year. Her first harvest was a success; she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon, or returning to rural life. Created a millennium ago, kwichon appears during periods of economic hardship. This time, in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.
The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor or select the best crops. It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.
The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms Kim says her neighbors have a bad temper. “The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice, or say that I will never be able to grow anything,” she says. Her black beans beg to differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.
28. Why does the writer tell Ms Kim’s story?
A. To explain a solution. B. To introduce a topic.
C. To start a discussion. D. To make a comparison.
29. What does the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A helping hand. B. A new identity.
C. A big reward. D. A different idea.
30. What is the challenge for the young farmers?
A. Farming techniques. B. Hard work.
C. Communicative skills. D. Unwanted advice.
31. What can we infer from kwichon in South Korea?
A. Farming makes huge profits. B. Locals need technical training.
C. It helps to bring rural areas back to life. D. Government should help farmers.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了韩国越来越多的年轻人远离城市喧嚣、回归田园生活的现象。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段“WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seoul, she worried about finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop.(当KIM JI-UN住在首尔时，她担心找不到一份好工作。现在，她担心干旱会毁了她的庄稼)”提到Kim女士从城市回归农村，下文讲述了韩国出现的“回归农村生活”的现象。由此推知，一段提到Kim女士是为了引入本文话题。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.(他们在韩国最大的搜索引擎Naver上销售新鲜农产品)”可知，年轻农民可以在数字技术的帮助下在线上销售农产品。由此猜测，画线短语所在句意为“对数字技术的适应给年轻农民提供了帮助”，即a leg up意为“帮助”，故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals.(最重要的一课是如何与当地人相处)”可知，年轻农民面临的挑战是学习沟通技巧。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.(政府希望通过在农村地区培养年轻农民，在未来获得巨大的回报)”及第三段内容“The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.(这个计划正在奏效。2021年，近38万人迁往农村。‘新手农民中心’主任Cho Kyung-ik说，对数字技术的适应给年轻农民提供了帮助，该中心在市中心的办公室里为那些想要归村的人提供教育。他们在韩国最大的搜索引擎Naver上销售新鲜农产品)”推知，年轻人从城市回归农村有助于振兴农村地区。故选C。

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
32. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
33 Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
34. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
35. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了ChatGPT的出现，市场反应，并对它的优点及弊端进行分析。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet.

(ChatGPT会记住你对话的线索，使用之前的问题和答案来告知它的下一个回答。它从互联网上的海量信息中获得答案。ChatGPT建立在OpenAI GPT-3家族的大型语言模型之上，并使用监督学习和强化学习进行了微调)”可知，本段描述了ChatGPT的操作使用，告诉我们它的工作原理。故选B项。

(ChatGPT上线几天后，就有超过100万人在试用。UBS分析师Lloyd Walmsley在2023年2月估计，ChatGPT在1月份的月用户数达到了1亿，只用了两个月的时间，就完成了TikTok大约9个月和Instagram两年半的任务)”可知，本段所列数字显示ChatGPT非常受欢迎。故选A项。
【34题详解】

【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day. (由于它的编程，ChatGPT的知识有限，但谷歌有无限的知识，每天都在更新)”可知，与谷歌相比，ChatGPT局限性是基于有限的数据进行操作。故选A项。

Planting and growing things offer a lot more than fresh vegetables and flowers. Working in a nice outdoor space can benefit people in more than one way. ____36____.
It’s a fun workout. It’s wonderful to get out in the garden on a beautiful day to give it a tidy. ____37____. Planting seeds, pulling up weeds, moving pots, pushing a lawnmower, and other gardening tasks actually provide a whole-body, moderate-intensity workout for adults over 65 years old, suggested a 2014 paper from the American Society for Horticultural Science. Even better, whatever your age, it is an activity with a purpose-and one that might keep you in motion longer than traditional exercise.
____38____ More than just good exercise for your body, gardening provides a workout for your brain, according to a 2019 study that appeared in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him.” We will have an English spelling test today, Mum, “ Peter said.“Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility, ”Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy.” Peter thought happily. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you win a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test !”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare it with the one on the word list. It turned out that he had spelled it wrong.
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 in the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘si’ instead of ‘ti’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest. He looked around, finding that many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to him with a big smile. He also really learnt the importance of honesty. He couldn’t wait to tell Mum one of his best days ever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了名为彼得的小男孩一大早急匆匆吃过早饭，准备英语课的单词拼写测试。且如愿拿到一百分，被老师给予奖励。但随后他自己发现有一个单词写错了。虽然很不想失去很喜爱的奖品——字典，也担心被同学们嘲笑，他还是勇敢承认了自己没有全对。没料到，老师不但没有收回奖励，反而大力表扬他，并号召全班同学向他学习，诚信做人。彼得自己也再一次认识到诚信的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“彼得缓慢而紧张地举起手。”可知，第一段可描写皮特主动了承认自己没有获得100分的事实。
②由第二段首句内容“彼得没想到他的老师会因为他诚实而表扬他。”可知，第二段可描写彼得承认事实后被老师表扬的情景和感受。
2.续写线索：
准单词拼写测试——轻松获得课堂测试满分——得到奖励——发现错误单词——承认没获得满分的事实——再次被老师表扬——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.举起：hold up /write the word down/raise
②.看：look at /stare at

As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱) have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
24. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
25. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution.
C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
26. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Water in Tunisia
B. Planting Trees of Native Species
C. Holding back the Sahara
D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C

WHEN KIM JI-UN lived in Seoul, she worried about finding a good job. Now, she is worried that drought may ruin her crop. The 23-year-old started a farm last year. Her first harvest was a success; she was surprised that her black beans did better than her strawberries.
Ms Kim is part of a phenomenon called kwichon, or returning to rural life. Created a millennium ago, kwichon appears during periods of economic hardship. This time, in the wake of the pandemic, many new farmers have never lived in the countryside before. By planting young farmers in rural areas, the government hopes to enjoy big rewards in future.
The plan is working. In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.
The centre teaches techniques like how to use a tractor or select the best crops. It arranges a trial period during which ambitious farmers work under the guidance of an old hand, learning what it means to do back-breaking labour from dawn to dusk.
The most important lesson is how to get on with the locals. The villagers are also offered tips on how to act towards the newcomers. That part is not yet a total success. Ms Kim says her neighbors have a bad temper. “The old people come in here and give me unwanted advice, or say that I will never be able to grow anything,” she says. Her black beans beg to differ. She and the South Korean government will be hoping that her crops put the argument to rest for good.
28. Why does the writer tell Ms Kim’s story?
A. To explain a solution. B. To introduce a topic.
C. To start a discussion. D. To make a comparison.
29. What does the underlined “a leg up” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A helping hand. B. A new identity.
C. A big reward. D. A different idea.
30. What is the challenge for the young farmers?
A. Farming techniques. B. Hard work.
C. Communicative skills. D. Unwanted advice.
31. What can we infer from kwichon in South Korea?
A. Farming makes huge profits. B. Locals need technical training.
C. It helps to bring rural areas back to life. D. Government should help farmers.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. C
【解析】

In 2021 nearly 380, 000 people moved to the countryside. Comfort with digital technology gives young farmers a leg up, says Cho Kyung-ik, the director of the Beginning Farmer’s Centre, an institution educating those who wish to kwichon at its downtown offices. They sell fresh produce on Naver, South Korea’s largest search engine.(这个计划正在奏效。2021年，近38万人迁往农村。‘新手农民中心’主任Cho Kyung-ik说，对数字技术的适应给年轻农民提供了帮助，该中心在市中心的办公室里为那些想要归村的人提供教育。他们在韩国最大的搜索引擎Naver上销售新鲜农产品)”推知，年轻人从城市回归农村有助于振兴农村地区。故选C。

There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning (监督和强化学习).
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming (编程) help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server (服务器), it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20 / month.’
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
32. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model. B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration. D. Its development process.
33 Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
34. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
35. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A

第二节(满分 25 分)
67. 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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him.” We will have an English spelling test today, Mum, “ Peter said.“Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility, ”Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy.” Peter thought happily. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you win a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test !”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary — the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare it with the one on the word list. It turned out that he had spelled it wrong.
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1:
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 in the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘si’ instead of ‘ti’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest. He looked around, finding that many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to him with a big smile. He also really learnt the importance of honesty. He couldn’t wait to tell Mum one of his best days ever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了名为彼得的小男孩一大早急匆匆吃过早饭，准备英语课的单词拼写测试。且如愿拿到一百分，被老师给予奖励。但随后他自己发现有一个单词写错了。虽然很不想失去很喜爱的奖品——字典，也担心被同学们嘲笑，他还是勇敢承认了自己没有全对。没料到，老师不但没有收回奖励，反而大力表扬他，并号召全班同学向他学习，诚信做人。彼得自己也再一次认识到诚信的重要性。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“彼得缓慢而紧张地举起手。”可知，第一段可描写皮特主动了承认自己没有获得100分的事实。

2.续写线索：
准单词拼写测试——轻松获得课堂测试满分——得到奖励——发现错误单词——承认没获得满分的事实——再次被老师表扬——感悟
