The schools were dismissed early, but much to my surprise, my appointment wasn’t canceled. So I went, feeling especially heroic. As far as I could see, I was risking my life to keep my word. Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center. When I got there, I discovered I wasn’t alone. Four more “hero-types” were already lying back in donor chairs with lines attached to their veins (静脉), and machines quietly pumping away to collect their life-saving gifts. Seeing my fellow donors honoring their own commitments, I realized why I was there. I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference to the life of someone I would never meet. To be honest, I’d never really thought about why I donate. I just did it. But a few months ago, during one of my regular donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby — both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center differently ever since. My wife Karen is a donor, too. And more importantly, she has been on the bone marrow list for fifteen years, ever since she signed up to provide bone marrow to a kindergartner with leukemia. That little girl died before Karen’s bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently. Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential match for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was to race against time. I wish I could say that this race was won. Unluckily, it wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions — including whether or not she’d remain on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered. We still keep making appointments. I don’t know whose life my donation may affect. Most likely it will be a stranger, but on some day the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to take our time to donate. I like the sense of giving. 4. Why was the man going out on such a snowy day? A. He was going to risk his life for fun. B. He was going to do a heroic deed to show off to others. C. He was going to give a donation to help others in need. D. He was going to have an important appointment with his wife. 5. Who or what caused the man to view his visits to the blood center differently? A. A cancer patient and a newborn baby who needed what he gave to live. B. The fact that his wife would remain on the donor list after several failures. C. The fact that his wife signed up to provide bone marrow to a girl with leukemia. D. Four more “hero-types” lying back in donor chairs with lines attached to their veins. 6. What does the author think of his wife Karen’s action? A. He objects to what she does. B. He thinks highly of what she does. C. He is indifferent to what she does. D. He doesn’t show any apparent attitude. 7. Which of the following may the man agree with? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Constant dripping wears away a stone. D. The rose’s in her hand, the flavor in mine. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者不管天气如何，都会准时到当地的血液中心献血。几个月前，一个 癌症病人和一个需要他的帮助才能活下去的新生婴儿让作者对去血液中心有了不同的看法。作者的妻子也 是捐赠者，作者认为花时间去捐献是值得的。 【4 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Snow or no snow, I would be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.(不管下不下雪，我都会准时到当地的血液中心献血)”以及第三段中“I lay back in my donor chair, ready to make a difference to the life of someone I would never meet.(我躺在我的捐赠椅上，准备改变一个我从 未见过的人的生活)”可知，作者在大雪天去血液中心献血给有需要的人。故选 C。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But a few months ago, during one of my regular donations I learned that my blood was specifically for a cancer patient and for a newborn baby — both patients needed what I would give in order to live. I’ve viewed my visits to the blood center differently ever since.(但几个月前，在我的一次定期献血中，我得 知我的血液是专门为一个癌症病人和一个新生婴儿准备的——两个病人都需要我的血液才能活下去。从那 以后，我对自己去血液中心有了不同的看法)”可知，是一个癌症病人和一个需要在他的帮助下才能活下去 的新生婴儿让作者对去血液中心有了不同的看法。故选 A。 【6 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions — including whether or not she’d remain on the donor list. ‘Of course,’ Karen answered.(后来打电话的 人感谢凯伦的参与，又问了几个问题——包括她是否还会在捐赠者名单上。凯伦回答：“当然”。)”可知 别人问作者的妻子是否继续捐献骨髓时，妻子毫不犹豫地回答“是的，当然”，可推知，作者对妻子的行 为很是赞赏。故选 B。 【7 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I don’t know whose life my donation may affect. Most likely it will be a stranger, but on some day the person needing blood could be you or me or maybe a loved one. It is worthwhile to take our time to donate. I like the sense of giving.(我不知道我的捐献会影响到谁的一生。很可能是一个陌生人，但总有 一天需要血液的人可能是你或我，也可能是你所爱的人。花时间去捐献是值得的。我喜欢给予的感觉)”可 推知，作者可能会同意 D 选项“赠人玫瑰，手留余香”的观点。故选 D。 C A team of scientists have studied thousands of species of birds to understand why there is so much diversity in the length of time they take to grow from a fertilized (受精的) egg into an independent adult. The study, published in Nature Communications, is the first one to consider the importance of lifestyle and environmental factors alongside evolutionary history and body size to explain the variation. All organisms face a trade-off (交换) between reproducing and surviving and they solve this problem in different ways. The team found that migratory birds develop much quicker, which may ensure they are ready to return to their winter habitats at the end of each summer. Findings showed that birds that breed and live in safer environments with fewer predators typically took longer to develop, possibly because they can afford to spend longer since there is no danger or need to leave. They also found that bird species with a “live fast die young” strategy develop quicker, allowing them to maximize the number of offspring (后代) they can produce in the short time available. As expected, the research showed that bigger birds took longer to develop — but even among birds of a similar size there was variation in development times. Dr. Chris Cooney, from the University of Sheffield’s Department of Animal and Plant Sciences and lead author of the research, said, “The amount of time it takes for a fertilized egg to develop into a fully grown adult varies hugely across the animal kingdom. For instance, it takes an elephant almost 10 years to reach independence, whereas a fruit fly is fully grown after only a matter of days. This extraordinary diversity is also prevalent within birds, where albatrosses (信天翁) can take almost a year to develop from an embryo (胚胎) to an independent adult, but a typical UK garden songbird (鸣禽) takes little more than a month. We found that certain aspects of a species’ lifestyle and environment are important in explaining how long they take to develop.” The study on birds gives scientists some clues about the type of factors that may be important in other species. However, it may be that different factors are important for determining development length in other animal groups. Therefore, the next step is to address these questions using data that covers the whole scale of the animal kingdom — from fish to mammals to insects — to gain an even broader insight into the factors shaping these fundamental differences across species. 8. What does the study mainly focus on? A. The number of bird species. B. The changes of bird habitats. C. The development length of birds. D. The life span of birds. 9. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Rare. B. Common. C. Special. D. Strange. 10. What can we know from Dr. Chris Cooney’s words? A. The development times vary with the species. B. Size determines the speed of birds’ development. C. Animals living in the same place develop at the same rate. D. Bigger animals always grow more slowly than smaller ones. 11. Why will scientists use data covering the whole scale of the animal kingdom? A. To study the cause of the species diversity. B. To show the basic differences among species. C. To explore the evolutionary history of animals. D. To figure out other factors in development length. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是生活方式、进化历史、环境因素和个头大小都对鸟类的生长发育成熟时间 有影响。 【8 题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句“The study, published in Nature Communications, is the first one to consider the importance of lifestyle and environmental factors alongside evolutionary history and body size to explain the variation.” 这项发表在《自然通讯》上的研究，是第一个将生活方式和环境因素的重要性，以及进化历史 和体型来解释这种差异的研究。讲述生活方式、进化历史、环境因素和个头大小对鸟类的生长发育成熟时 间的影响。最后一段第二句“However, it may be that different factors are important for determining development length in other animal groups. ”然而，在其他动物群体中，不同的因素可能是决定发育长度的重要因素。可 知研究主要关注的是鸟类的发育长度。故选 C。 【9 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“For instance, it takes an elephant almost 10 years to reach independence, whereas a fruit fly is fully grown after only a matter of days.” 例如，大象需要近 10 年才能独立，而果蝇只需要几天就能完全长大。 可知体型大的动物成熟时间长，体型小的动物成熟时间短。而“This extraordinary diversity is also prevalent within birds, where albatrosses can take almost a year to develop from an embryo(胚胎)to an independent adult, but a typical UK garden songbird takes little more than a month. ” 这个非凡的多样性也普遍在鸟类,信天翁可 以近一年开发从一个胚胎,一个独立的成年人,但典型的英国花园 songbird 需要小一个多月。说明 albatrosses 几乎需要一年来成熟，而 a typical UK garden songbird 只需要一个多月。所以这种非凡的多样性在鸟类中也 很普遍。所以划线单词的意思是“常见的”。故选 B。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The amount of time it takes for a fertilized egg to develop into a fully grown adult varies hugely across the animal kingdom.” 受精卵发育成一个完全成熟的物种所需要的时间在动物王国里差 别很大。由此判断出发展时间因物种而异。故选 A。 【11 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study on birds gives scientists some clues about the type of factors that may be important in other species. However, it may be that different factors are important for determining development length in other animal groups. Therefore, the next step is to address these questions using data that covers the whole scale of the animal kingdom — from fish to mammals to insects — to gain an even broader insight into the factors shaping these fundamental differences across species.”我们得知，鸟儿的研究已经给科学家了一些线索，然而，决定发育时长的可能有其他因 素。所以，下一步就是使用全范围的动物王国的数据来洞见造成这些物种之间基本差异的因素。由此判断 出科学家使用全范围的动物王国的数据，目的就是找出影响发育长度的其它因素。故选 D。 D European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency (ESA), carried out the experiments at a laboratory in the Netherlands. They reported their results in a study published in Planetary and Space Science. The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated (仿造的) moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock fragments that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing. ESA’s long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing “pilot plant” to operate full-time on the moon. The first technology demonstration (演示 ) of the system is expected to take place in the middle 2020s. Beth Lomax of the University of Glasgow was a lead researcher on the project. “Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future lunar settlers, both for breathing and in the local production of rocket fuel,” she said in a statement. The researchers reported that “as a bonus”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. ESA researcher Alexandre Meurisse said the finding that a number of metals are left behind was an important discovery. ESA and the U.S. space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024, with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods. ESA officials say the latest experiments were part of expanded engineering development aimed at finding new ways for lunar materials to be used to support future human activities. Last August, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida announced its own plans to develop a device that would melt lunar regolith to extract oxygen. The NASA plan would involve heating the regolith to more than 1,600 degrees Celsius and then flowing electricity through the material, the agency explained. The process would attempt to cause a chemical reaction to split the regolith into oxygen and metals. Kevin Grossman is a materials science expert at Kennedy Space Center. He said researchers will be carrying out experiments to test the technology with the goal of getting NASA, in his words, “one step closer to an automated mass production of oxygen on the Moon.” 12. How will the process benefit humans according to the study? A. By creating warm air for researchers on the moon. B. By providing rocks for the production of minerals. C. By testing the weight of the oxygen contained in moon dust. D. By offering oxygen for people conducting studies on the moon. 13. What makes oxygen difficult to produce during the ESA’s experiment? A. Its poor quality. B. Its small quantity. C. Its form of existence. D. Its complex structure. 14. What is the “bonus” in the new process? A. Usable metals. B. Fresh oxygen. C. Rare minerals. D. Precious glass. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. European Researchers Discovered Oxygen From Moon Dust B. Oxygen Found for Humans Taking Part in Moon Exploration C. Oxygen Successfully Produced From the Moon Dust D. Mass Production of Oxygen achieved on the Moon 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。研究人员报告称他们成功地从月球尘埃中产生氧气。 【12 题详解】 细节题解题。根据文章第一段“The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future.(这一过程可能为未来参与月球探测活动的人类提供主要的氧气来 源。)”可知，这个制作方法能够为参与月球探索的人员提供氧气，这就是它带给人类的好处。故选 D。 【13 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. (然而，氧气以矿物或玻璃的形式被化学锁住，所以不容易获得。)”可知，氧气 的化学成分以矿物质和玻璃的形式锁在物质里面，它不能轻易拿来使用。故选 C。 【14 题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““as a bonus”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. (“作为意外所得之物”，这一过程还可以生产出可用的金属材料。)”可知，这个氧气制作方法可以 生产出可使用的金属物质，这就是它带来的意外所得之物。故选 A。 【15 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust.(欧洲研究人员表示，他们已经创造了一种可以从月球尘埃中产生氧气的过程。)”及 全文内容可知，研究人员报告称他们成功地从月球尘埃中产生氧气。所以“月球尘埃成功地产生了氧气” 作为文章标题最为合适。故选 C。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One thing nearly all teens agree on is that most of what high school teaches them is irrelevant to their lives outside of school or their future careers.So how can we help students actively seek a sense of purpose? ___16___ Part of developing a sense of purpose is having a vision bigger than one’s self. If you are only worried about yourself, you’11 be trained to care only about yourself. By working in teams, our young people can start to develop the skills and attitudes that are essential both to thriving in today’s workforce and to leading a life that feels meaningful. Explore the world. A sense of purpose often starts to develop during “purpose-seeking” opportunities. _____17_____ They have at least one of three active ingredients: an important life event, serving others in a meaningful way, or changes in 1ife circumstances. Learn from failure. _____18_____ Paul Tough documents this well — how learning to fail builds critical life skills. It is hard to think of a political leader or anyone who ever accomplished anything important who did not fail along the way — in fact, failure was often a catalyst for their eventual success. _____19_____ But we do not give students the opportunity to fail without serious consequences. So when they get out into the real world, they cannot deal with failure. Start with the why. Many high school students work hard, but they have no idea why. Or they do not work hard at all because they see no real-world benefit from it. ____20____ If they do not understand why, schoolwork will either be boring or meaningless to them, causing tons of worry and stress. They will be doing it simply to advance through the next hoop — high school graduation or college admission — not for its own inherent value. A. Failing is usually a shame. B. Promote teamwork actively. C. Failing is how we learn in our life. D. Learning how to persevere is often most important. E. Students have to learn what is important in life. F. They push beyond comfort zones and to explore. G. Students need to be clear why they are learning. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. C 19. D 20.

The 57-meter rocket, the strongest and most technologically complicated in China’s launch vehicle family,____36____(fly) about 36 minutes and then placed the spacecraft into an Earth-Mars transfer trajectory (转移轨道). If everything goes as scheduled, the 5-ton Tianwen-1, ____37____ (consist) of two major parts — the orbiter and the landing capsule — will travel more than 400 million km over some seven months before entering the Martian gravitational field, according to the China National Space Administration. Several midcourse and deep-space correction maneuvers will be made during the spaceflight to make sure the probe will be ____38____ (precise) aimed at the Red Planet. After the probe (探测器) enters Mars orbit, it will revolve around the planet for two and ____39____ half months to explore the landing capsule’s preset landing site before falling to a certain altitude to release the landing capsule,____40____ will gradually fall through Mar’s atmosphere. The history of the Chinese people’s observation of Mars can be traced to more than 3,000 years ago, with ancient ____41____ (astronomer) calling the celestial body Yinghou, or Perplexing Fire, ___42___ in their eyes, the planet looked like a capricious, shimmering flame in the night sky. Tianwen, or Quest for Heavenly Truth, is a long poem by the ancient poet Qu Yuan of the Kingdom of Chu during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). He is ____43____ (fame) for his patriotism and contributions to classical poetry and verses, especially through the poems of the Chu Ci anthology, also ____44____ (know) as Songs of Chu. “Naming the mission ____45____ the poem is intended to show China’s determination to explore deep space and to implant the love of science in young people”, said the space administration. 【答案】36. flew 37. consisting 38. precisely 39. a 40. which 41. astronomers 42. because 43. famous 44. known 45. after 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇说明文，介绍了中国在海南省文昌航天发射中心发射了第一个独立的火星任务，开启了中国的行 星探索计划。 【详解】1.考查动词。句意：这颗 57 米长的火箭，是中国运载火箭系列中最强大、技术最复杂的，飞行大 约 36 分钟，然后将航天器送入火星地球转移轨道。通过句式分析我们可以得知：主语 The57-meter rocket 后 面缺谓语动词，而这又是 on Tuesday 发生的事情，侧重介绍过去事实，所以用的一般过去时。故填 flew。 2.考查非谓语动词。句意：据中国国家航天局表示，如果一切按计划进行，5 吨重的“天文一号”将由轨道器 和着陆舱两个主要部分组成，在进入火星引力场之前，将在 7 个月时间里飞行 4 亿多公里。通过句子成分 分析可以得知：这个长句中，主句的主谓是 the 5-ton Tianwen-1……will travel……，这个主语后面空出的部 分是非谓语(定语)，与所修饰的中心语之间是主谓关系，所以用-ing 形式。故填 consisting。 3.考查副词。句意：在航天飞行期间，将进行几次中段和深空修正动作，以确保探测器精确地瞄准这颗红色 行星。空白处后为动词，所以空白处用来修饰动词短语 be aimed at ，所以用副词形式，表示“精确地瞄准”。 故填 precisely。 4.考查冠词。句意：探测器进入火星轨道后，将围绕火星旋转两个半月，探索着陆舱预先设定的着陆点，然 后降落到一定高度释放着陆舱，着陆舱将逐渐落入火星的大气层。表示“两年半”用 two and a half years。其 中 half 这里的 h 发音，是辅音，用 a 修饰。故填 a。 5.考查定语从句。句意同上。通过句子成分分析和句意理解，可以确定 the landing capsule 是先行词，在后 面非限定性定语从句中做主语，用 which 引导。故填 which。 6.考查名词复数。句意：中国人观测火星的历史可以追溯到 3000 多年前，古代天文学家把火星称为“银后” ， 因为在他们眼中，这颗行星看起来就像是夜空中反复无常，闪烁的火焰。空白处前 ancient 为形容词，形容 词修饰名词；astronomer“天文学家”为可数名词，所以要用复数。故填.astronomers。 7.考查连词。句意同上。根据句意理解：古人把天体称为是因为在他们眼里，那个星球在夜空看起来就像一 团火。空白处之后的内容为对人们对天体称为 Perplexing Fire 的原因解释，所以用 bacause。故填 because。 8.考查形容词。句意：他以爱国主义精神和对古典诗词的贡献而闻名，尤其是《楚辞集》中的诗词，也被称 为《楚辞》。固定短语 be famous for“因为......而出名”，所以空白处填 famous,故填 fmaous。 9.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子可知，空白处做名词 the Chu Ci anthology 的定语，因本句中已有 谓语动词，名词 the Chu Ci anthology 与 know 为动宾关系，所以要用过去分词作后置定语。故填 known。 10.考查介词。句意：太空总署说：“以这首诗命名这次任务是为了展示中国探索外太空的决心，并向年轻人 灌输对科学的热爱。”固定短语 name…after“以......命名”，故填 after。 第四部分 写作(共两节；满分 40 分) 第一节 应用文写作(满分 15 分) 46. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的美国朋友 Peter 写写给你的邮件中提到他对北京正在实行的垃圾 分类(garbage classification)很感兴趣。他向你询问有关情况，请你给他回信，内容包括： 1. 垃圾分类的益处； 2. 你周边的实施情况； 3. 你的感受。 参考词汇：recyclables, kitchen waste, harmful waste, other waste 注意：词数 100 左右,可合理添加细节；开头已写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, I am glad to hear that you are interested in garbage classification in Beijing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Yours, sincerely Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I am glad to hear that you are interested in garbage classification in Beijing.

He read books all day long, without worrying for food or money. He was a very kind and tender-hearted person. All the villagers greatly admired his noble character. That is why everyone offered him food and wanted to help him. Once, it was a cold winter. The monk had a fire burning in his hut for warmth. Suddenly, there was a knock at his door. The monk wondered who it could be out at such a cold night, He opened the door and found a fox out there shivering in cold. She spoke, “I live on the hills out there. Heavy snow is falling there, making my life difficult. Please kindly give me a little room in your hut for the night. I will go away in the morning.” The monk politely called her in and said, “Don’t worry, dear. You can live here as long as you wish.” In the warmth of the heated hut the fox felt very comfortable. The monk gave her some bread and milk. The fox quickly ate it and slept in a corner. In the morning, the fox asked for the permission to leave. The monk told her to come whenever she liked. The fox again came back at the night. The monk talked with her about the day's happenings and gave her some food. After eating, the fox went to sleep. A few months passed and the season changed. One day the fox said, “You took so great care of me all through the winter, I want to do something for you in return.” The monk remarked, “Dear fox, it was my duty to do something for you. Please don't embarrass me by talking in this way.” The fox pleaded, “I am not trying to pay back your kindness. I love you and respect you. By doing something for you I will feel a great pride in me. I wish to be of some use to you.” Paragraph 1 The monk thought for some time and hesitantly said, “I don’t need anything. But sometimes I wish I had a piece of gold. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ Paragraph 2 It was now six months since the fox had gone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ 【答案】The monk thought for some time and hesitatingly said, “I don't need anything. But sometimes I wish I had a piece of gold. As you know, I have always been relying on the villagers, without whom I would be starving to death. Naturally, it has long been my desire to do something in return for their favor. All I can do is help educate their children. With no access to proper facilities and books, most of the kids in the village stay uneducated. A piece of gold is all I need to equip them with adequate knowledge so that they can have better chances of a bright future.” Hearing this, the fox nodded and promised she would see to it that the monk could have what he was longing for. With these words, the fox left in no time. It was now six months since the fox had gone. The more time went by, the more certain the monk felt that she wouldn't come back. One day, however, there was someone knocking at the door. The monk opened it and much to his astonishment, there stood the fox with a piece of gold in her mouth. She looked much skinnier than he last saw her. Deeply moved, the monk hugged the fox tightly with tears in his eyes. It turned out that the fox spent the last half of a year trying to fulfill her promise and she made it. 【解析】 【分析】本文属于读后续写。要求根据所给短文内容，结合给出的线索句完成文章续写。 【详解】本篇书面表达属于读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，本文讲述了一个和尚和一只狐狸的故事。 和尚温柔，善良，村民敬佩他的高尚，给他提供食物；狐狸因为寒冷敲开和尚住的小屋，连续几个月在和 尚的小屋里不仅享受了温暖，同时受到和尚的款待。在狐狸离开时，狐狸想做一些事给和尚作为回报。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：和尚想了一会儿，犹豫地说，我什么都不需要，但有时候我希望我有 一块金子。所以，接下来应该写和尚需要金子的理由和用处：可能会拿这些金子感谢帮助过他的村民；可 能会用这些金子买一些用于读书的设备，教村里孩子识字。第二段开头是：狐狸已经走了六个月了。本段 接下来应该描写和尚对之前狐狸所说的话开始怀疑，同时可以写狐狸返回后的情形。此处应详细描写狐狸 讲述这些时间自己干了什么事：通过自己的努力，为和尚换回金子，让自己的身体比之前瘦了好多，和尚 对此情景很感动。 续写内容应符合逻辑，本篇主要以一般过去时为主。 【点睛】文章续写内容，语义丰富；和原文在结构上保持了一致，句式简繁结合，充分表明了写作者的语 言驾驭能力。文章中的高分句型如下：运用了 with 的符合结构：With no access to proper facilities and books, most of the kids in the village stay uneducated. 使用了定语从句：A piece of gold is all I need to equip them with adequate knowledge so that they can have better chances of a bright future.”使用了现在分词做状 语： Hearing this, the fox nodded and promised she would see to it that the monk could have what he was longing for.
