They got a lot of food from the kitchen easily, because the owner of the farmhouse was very rich. For Zigfried and his parents, Christmas was their favorite. On that day, they could get lots of delicious food than ever like chicken, chocolate and cheese. Every time his father would bring a big chicken leg back for Zigfried. To Zigfried, wonderful food was his Christmas' miracle. Unfortunately, Zigfried's father was caught by a cat when he was hanging around. Years later, his mother died because of illness and the owner of the farmhouse moved to the city. Happy days were away from Zigfried from then on. All the things had already been changed, there was no food anymore in the farmhouse and no family,_and all the rooms were empty. New year was coming again, Zigfried blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside. Still nobody came. Maybe today, he thought hopefully. It was only a few days before Christmas and he was waiting for a miracle. A miracle liked the old times, which he has been waiting for a long time. This farmhouse had been empty for too long. It needed a family. Zigfried's stomach made a noise. He realized that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. He jumped from the windowsill (窗沿), grabbed a bag from his home, and went next door to Farmer Mike's. Farmer Mike's house had been a great place for the little mouse until the farmer married a wife who had a cat. Zigfried trembled when he thought of it. He looked around cautiously as he stole into the room where grain was stored and was quite nervous as he filled his bag with wheat. He was turning to leave when suddenly he felt a hot breath about his ear. His heart beat wildly, and without thinking he started to run but the cat kept chasing him. Zigfried was very familiar with the house and luckily escaped the cat's paws (爪子). 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。 Paragraph 1: The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: Paragraph 2: The house came alive the next few days. [写作步骤] 第一步:速读全文 文本大意:本篇讲述了一只小老鼠在农舍里过着富足的生活,不幸的是他的爸爸被猫捉住了,几年后他的妈妈也去世了,农舍的主人也搬走了,他的生活从此改变了。他盼望着圣诞节出现奇迹,希望有人能搬进农舍里住,并讲述了他到邻居家找食物的惊险过程。 叙述意图:通过对动物栩栩如生的描写,让我们了解一只小老鼠的故事。 第二步:细读全文 1.所给短文情景模式分析。 who parents, Zigfried, cat, family what Zigfried wanted to find some delicious food himself for his Christmas. when a few days before Christmas where farmhouse why Zigfried's father was caught by a cat, his mother died years later and the owner of the farmhouse moved to the city. This farmhouse had been empty for too long. 2.对原文所提供的下划线词语进行分类。 ★时间:Christmas ★地点:farmhouse, city ★人物/动物:parents, Zigfried, cat, family ★事件:chocolate, miracle, wheat 第三步:精心谋篇 1.Paragraph 1:The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news: 第二天下午Zigfried听到一些好消息: [情节分析] 文章最后讲述了小老鼠到邻居家找食物的惊险过程;再注意续写段首句关键词some good news,故事要围绕好消息写,续写时要注意文中“To Zigfried, wonderful food was his Christmas' miracle.”也就是说好消息就是能得到美食,那小老鼠怎样才能得到美食呢?邻居家是不可能的,因为有猫。据此可判断,有一家人就要搬进农舍,会带来许多美食;此外,可添加细节,小老鼠的家人来陪他过圣诞节。 2.Paragraph 2:The house came alive the next few days. 在接下来的几天里这所房子热闹起来。 [情节分析] 房子里面有人住了,和先前没有人住相比肯定是变得有生气了,结合文章可知小老鼠非常盼望有人来这农舍里住,现在它的愿望得以满足,所以一定非常享受这热闹时光。如果情节就这样发展,显得平淡,后续情节一般为故事的高潮或延续,要让读者回味无穷,再结合所给关键词cat,可以描写正当小老鼠期盼美食的时候,听到这家人会带来猫的消息。 第四步:初写成文 Paragraph 1: 1.一个新的家庭将很快搬进农舍。 A new family would be_moving_into the farmhouse soon. 2.Zigfried的奶奶会在圣诞前夕来和他一起庆祝。 Zigfried's granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to_celebrate_with_him. 3.他希望这家人能在奶奶来之前来。 He hoped that the family would come before_his_granny_came. 4.一辆车沿着通向房子的路到来,车上有黄油三明治、奶酪和巧克力。 A car came_up_the_road which led to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate. 5.Zigfried的圣诞奇迹到来了! Zigfried's Christmas_miracle arrived! Paragraph 2: 6.Zigfried非常享受那几天的每一个小时。 Zigfried enjoyed every_single_hour of them. 7.在圣诞节的前一天,他在家门口喝着热巧克力,脸上带着满意的微笑。 The day before Christmas he was drinking hot chocolate with_a_satisfied_smile at the door of his home. 8.他听到那个家庭的孩子们在讨论圣诞节可以得到什么。 He heard the discussion of the children of the family about what_they_might_get for Christmas. 9.什么?一只猫?他脸上的笑容僵住了。 What? A cat?The smile froze_on_his_face. 10.他的嘴张得大大的。 His mouth fell wide_open. 11.过了很久,他终于听到自己的声音:“嘿!这是谁的圣诞奇迹?” After_a_long_while,_he at last found his voice:“Hey! Whose Christmas miracle is this?” 第五步:润色升级 1.用分词作定语改写要点4。 A_car_came_up_the_road_leading_to_the_house,_with_butter_sandwiches,_cheese_and_chocolate. 2.把要点5改为强调句。 Zigfried's_Christmas_miracle_did_arrive! 3.把要点7和要点8合并成复合句。 The_day_before_Christmas_when_he_was_drinking_hot_chocolate_with_a_satisfied_smile_at_the_door_of_his_home,_he_heard_the_discussion_of_the_children_of_the_family_about_what_they_might_get_for_Christmas. 第六步:复查定稿 Paragraph 1: The next afternoon Zigfried heard some good news:a new family would be moving into the farmhouse soon. Zigfried's granny would arrive on Christmas Eve to celebrate with him. He hoped that the family would come before his granny came. Before long, a car came up the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate. Zigfried's Christmas miracle did arrive! Paragraph 2: The house came alive the next few days. Zigfried enjoyed every single hour of them. However, the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a satisfied smile at the door of his home, he heard the discussion of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas. What? A cat?The smile froze on his face; his mouth fell wide open. After a long while, he at last found his voice:“Hey!

[2]If you have posted a video of your favourite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot. University of Maryland professor Hyannis Alimonies, leader of the group, said “there exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize_on.” [3]“At present, the videos are fed electronically,” said research scientist Cornelia Ferule,“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking,” she explained.“And, as the robot advanced, it reacted to good quality videos. And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.” [4]So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results. [5]But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program? Alimonies believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility. He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task, the socalled feedback (反馈); another: the introduction of language. [6]“I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical (比喻的) language,”he added. “But”,he said,“we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us.” 语篇解读:本文主要讲述研究人员在尝试让机器人通过看视频学习烹饪。 1.The underlined phrase “capitalize on” probably can be replaced by “________”. A.take hold of B.make use of C.keep track of D.catch sight of 解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“chances are that it will be used by a robot”提示可知,机器人可以利用这些视频来学做饭,由此可知,capitalize on意为“充分利用”。与B项相近。 2.Alimonies probably agrees that at present the robot ________. A.can not fully digest what it learns B.can not make a simple salad C.can follow homemade videos D.can understand metaphorical language 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task”可知,他认为现在机器人并不能完全理解消化它所学的内容。故选A项。 3.Why are robots taught to understand a video? A.Because they can easily follow fixed programs. B.Because they are smart enough to learn cooking. C.Because cooking videos are more interesting to watch. D.Because predetermined instructions are not flexible. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Alimonies believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.”可知,教给机器人理解视频是因为预设的指令缺乏灵活性。故选D。 4.Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage? A.Robots Creating a New World B.Robots Making Cooking Videos C.Robots Learning to Cook by Watching Videos D.Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions 解析:选C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了科学家发明的可以通过看视频来进行做饭的机器人。故选C。 学习目标 ——题后把脉规律,练后得法理解更透 主旨大意技法(4)——利用主线,提炼文章标题 有些文章的中心思想贯穿全文,但是没有用一句明确的话表达出来。这就要求考生做题时根据文章的每一部分的意义全面考虑,综合分析,找出共同点,再归纳成一般概念。如文章的主线是机器人会做饭,根据这一关键信息很容易选出第4题答案。查看更多
