Easter Island Easter Island is located midway between Chile and Tahiti. Land on it and you’ll instantly be attracted by the sight of big sculptures（雕塑）, 14 feet tall, and weighing 14 tons each. Known as the moai, these ancient sculptures have been made out of volcanic rock（火山岩）. For years, people have have no idea why the ancient locals decided to build them. Seychelles The Seychelles is a group of 115 islands located in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Africa. At least half of these islands are preserved as national parks. They are home to the coco-de-mer, a big plant which produces the world’s largest seed and leaf, and are also home to many rare animal species. Surtsey Island The Surtsey Island is at the southernmost point of Iceland. It didn’t exist before 1963. Then an undersea volcano erupted（爆发）, which reached the surface and began forming this island. The volcanic activity continued till 1967, at which point a 2.7 sq km piece of land was formed. Since then, wave has continually affected the island, reducing its size, which as of 2002 was only 1.4 sq km. Isola La Gaiola Off the coast of Naples, Italy, you’ll find the Isola La Gaiola, which actually consists of two small islands linked together by a bridge. This island is beautiful. Yet, if you were to call out “hello” here, you would hardly get an answer, as it is completely abandoned now with only some swimmers or adventurers who occasionally set foot on it.

On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water related diseases.

In October, my family and I flew to 3M Headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25,000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America’ s Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester opened the paper and started announcing "The winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is.... “ You could hear a pin(大头针) drop as he opened the paper with the winner’ s name, “Deepika Kurup!” As America’s Top Young Scientist, I was given an opportunity to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations.

As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” Seeing that there was a flower stall (摊位) at the front of the supermarket , Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over and told the seller what we wanted “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful deed.” By now medical staff（救援人员）had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great horror, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her tobe strong. We gave the flower to the woman’s husband and I told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son went down his body to the injured lady and tenderly said, “Happy Mother’s Day to you, too.” Paragraph 1: After a moment, the elderly lady was taken into an ambulance ______________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________Paragraph 2: One year later ____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2.至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4.续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 答案 21BBA 24DAC 27DBCA 31DCFBG 36DADCB CADDA 46ABADB BCCBC 56from who to understand interested difficulty 61proudly more so invented looking 参考范文： Dear John, I’m glad to hear from you again and really appreciate your winter plans Actually, I’ ve already informed my parents of my schedule, which they think highly of.
