Starting to write short stories: An online workshop with Stuart Evers
It is a common misconception that writing a short story is easier than crafting (构思) a longer form piece of
fiction. Though they have fewer words, as a writer you have less time and space on the page to both capture the
imagination of your readers and craft a journey for your characters that has a beginning, middle and end.
In this highly practical workshop with award-winning writer Stuart Evers, you will know about the fundamentals
of the short story writing — from building tension to creating a current of events that invites interest — for constructing
a story that has the emotional heft of a novel, as well as breathing life into characters that are authentic and full.
Regardless of your skillset or experience, under Stuart’s expert guidance, you will take the first crucial steps in
short storytelling so that you will have a newfound confidence in your ability to continue crafting short stories, far
beyond the course.

From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled
with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his
family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his
unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧
的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s
five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed
storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister
Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island
brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow
cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on
my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky
Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one
part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes
raises it nearly to poetry.
,
As a real delight to read it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently
walking down a tough road in life.
4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?
A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough.5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?
A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book.
.
C The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.
7. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style.
C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place.

When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making
honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult,
and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container
that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass
through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went
out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激) to do so.”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food
or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new
home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to
people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that
insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of
enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory
and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author. Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states
that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind
of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our
understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect
wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
8. What is the new finding about bees?
A. They are fond of having fun. B. They are faithful to the queen.C. They are adaptable to changes D. They are skilled at rolling balls.
9. How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks. B. By rewarding bees with food.
C. By making bees feel at home. D. By building new homes for bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
A. The forms of bees’ interaction. B. The complexity of bees’ minds.
C. The examples of mammals’ play. D. The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
11. What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?
A. It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B. It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
C. It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
D. It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.
D
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a
new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their
personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence
are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as
efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s
math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure
their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses
focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts. rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In
contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more
person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While
responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more
responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure —are more likely to avoid harder
math problems. exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researcher suggest parents limit
this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals
for their kids and examine how these might lead them to. respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parentsto avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their
strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to strengthen motivation.
12. Which of the following is an example of process response?
A. You are a lucky dog.
B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study?
D. Why are you such a math genius?
13. What can be inferred from the study results?
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
14. What do researchers advise parents to do?
A. Limit person responses.
B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance.
D. Ignore children’s math problems.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities? Urban areas also tend to get
hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery.____16____
It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside. In
the country, evaporation(蒸发)of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air.____17____Having
fewer plants, cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem. Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light, making the temperature
increase more noticeably. In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy.____18____Sadly, most
parts of cities are covered by asphalt(沥青), steel, roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
____19____As people drive cars, heat buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat andpouring it into the atmosphere directly. The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don’t have to be so hot. Some cities have lightened their streets. This is done by covering black
asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating. ____20____
Having more green spaces also helps. Plants serve as a natural air conditioner. They catch heat, release
vapour(蒸汽)into the air, and take away heat, contributing to cooler, fresher cities.
A. Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
B. The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength.
C. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.
D. So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E. Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F. Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.
G. These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.

The Toy Tree
It was a bare tree with thin branches which looked like they might snap (折断) at any moment, but it was the
only tree in the estate gardens. In spring, the tree cheered up the grey concrete with its blossom. And, in summer, its
shade comforted the restless heat.
Gabe loved the tree. He and his friends played by it all the time. The tree’s blessing for the community, but not
for Mr. Snider, the caretaker, who hated the tree. When he had to mow (割) the grass around it or sweep its
blossoms or fallen leaves from the path, he would grumble (咕哝), “It’s in my way.” or “Who has to clean up all
this mess? Me, that’s who!”
Sometimes he threatened to cut it down. One morning before the coming New Year, Gabe spotted him walked
towards the tree with a chainsaw (电锯). He shouted, “Mum! What’s Mr. Snider doing?” Mum put down her
knitting needles — she was knitting everyone scarves and came over to the window. Gabe grabbed her hand and
ran down two flights of stairs to the garden. Soon they were standing between Mr. Snider and the tree.
“Out of my way,” said the caretaker. “Time for this eyesore (眼中钉) to go.”
“This eyesore is of great public interest.” Mum tried to sound important.
“And we love this tree,” begged Gabe.
“Not a good enough reason.” Mr. Snider was getting his chainsaw ready.
Gabe desperately tried to think of more reasons to keep the tree, then he remembered the toy tree he’d seen in
town. It had colourful gift tags (礼品签) on it and written on every tag was the name of a toy a child had wished
for. Mum had explained to him that if someone took a tag and bought the gift on it, the charity would send it to a
child who might not get New Year presents.
注意：

From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled
with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his
family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his
unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic(怀旧
的)account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s
five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book—curious, passionate about animals and a detailed
storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister
Margo, sporty brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to detail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island
brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow
cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on
my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky
Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one
part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes
raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently
walking down a tough road in life.
4. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu?
A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough.
5. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family.
6. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about?
A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book.
C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.
7. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style.
C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place.【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C

When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making
honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult,
and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container
that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass
through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went
out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激) to do so.”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food
or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new
home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to
people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that
insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of
enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory
and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author. Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states
that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind
of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our
understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect
wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
8. What is the new finding about bees?
A. They are fond of having fun. B. They are faithful to the queen.
C. They are adaptable to changes D. They are skilled at rolling balls.
9. How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks. B. By rewarding bees with food.
C. By making bees feel at home. D. By building new homes for bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
A. The forms of bees’ interaction. B. The complexity of bees’ minds.
C. The examples of mammals’ play. D. The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
11. What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?A. It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B. It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
C. It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
D. It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D

“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, anew study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their
personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence
,
are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast parents who link their children’s actions, such as
efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s
math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure
their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses
focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts. rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In
contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more
person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While
responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more
responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure —are more likely to avoid harder
math problems. exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researcher suggest parents limit
this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals
for their kids and examine how these might lead them to. respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents
to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their
strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to strengthen motivation.
12. Which of the following is an example of process response?
A. You are a lucky dog.
B. Running is in your blood.
C. What works well for your study?
D. Why are you such a math genius?
13. What can be inferred from the study results?
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
14. What do researchers advise parents to do?
A. Limit person responses.B. Defend their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance.
D. Ignore children’s math problems.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps
B. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
C. Responses to Enhance Children’s Math Performance
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产
生不同的作用；用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use,
to their performance are using process responses. (相比之下，将孩子的行为（如努力或策略使用）与他们的
表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应。)”可知，将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过
程反应，分析四个选项，C项“What works well for your study? (什么对你的学习有效？)”将孩子的行为与
表现联系起来，符合语境，属于“过程反应”，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in
particular, related to failure —are more likely to avoid harder math problems. exhibit higher levels of math anxiety,
and score lower on math achievement tests. (那些对自己的个人品质，尤其是与失败有关的品质，得到更多回
应的孩子，更有可能避免更难的数学问题，表现出更高的数学焦虑水平，并且在数学成绩测试中得分更
低)”可推理出，个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学，故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time,
researcher suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(因为人的反应预示着孩子的数学适应能力会随
着时间的推移而变差，研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应。)”可知，专家建议父母限制个人反应，故
选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读整篇文章，尤其是第一段中“Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia,
found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities mightweaken their math motivation and achievement over time. (最近，乔治亚大学进行的一项新研究发现，随着时
间的推移，鼓励孩子用与他们的个人特征或天生能力相关的回答可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成就。)”可
知，文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应，会对孩子产生不同的作用；用与个人特征
或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子，可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk
to Children on Math Matters (父母与孩子谈论数学的方式很重要)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选
B项。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than they do in cities? Urban areas also tend to get
hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of greenery.____16____
It’s mainly caused by the difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside. In
the country, evaporation(蒸发)of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool the air.____17____Having
fewer plants, cities have less evaporation and are unable to cool down the temperature.
Dark colours are another problem. Dark objects absorb all wavelengths of light, making the temperature
increase more noticeably. In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy.____18____Sadly, most
parts of cities are covered by asphalt(沥青), steel, roofs and bricks which are often dark in colour.
____19____As people drive cars, heat buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat and
pouring it into the atmosphere directly. The waste heat adds to the solar energy trapped by the tall buildings.
But cities don’t have to be so hot. Some cities have lightened their streets. This is done by covering black
asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a more reflective gray coating. ____20____
Having more green spaces also helps. Plants serve as a natural air conditioner. They catch heat, release
vapour(蒸汽)into the air, and take away heat, contributing to cooler, fresher cities.
A. Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.
B. The higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelength.
C. This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.
D. So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the air hot.
E. Changes in building materials have a minimal effect on city temperatures.
F. Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and buildings.
G. These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. A 20. G

【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了热岛效应。【16题详解】
段末句，考查段落结论句。根据上文提示“Have you noticed how evenings cool off more in rural areas than
they do in cities? Urban areas also tend to get hotter during the day than any nearby areas with lots of
greenery.”（你有没有注意到，农村的夜晚比城市凉爽得多?城市地区在白天也往往比附近有很多绿色植物
的地区更热。）可知，本文是一篇介绍热岛效应的科普文。首段的行文逻辑为从现象到结论，从而引出热
岛效应这一地理名词。所以，C项“This phenomenon is known as the urban heat-island effect.”（这种现象
被称为城市热岛效应。）符合题意。故选C。
【17题详解】
段中句，考查转折性过渡句。F选项“Much of the soil in cities, by contrast, has been covered with roads and
buildings.”（相比之下，城市的大部分土壤已经被道路和建筑物覆盖。）的“城市的土地被道路和建筑覆
盖”与前一句“evaporation of water from soil and the leaves of plants helps to cool to air”（土壤和植物叶子
中的水分蒸发有助于冷却到空气中）形成转折关系。这两句回应第二段主题句“It’s mainly caused by the
difference in materials that cover the ground in urban areas and the countryside.”（这主要是由于城市和农村覆
盖地面的材料不同造成的。）故选F。
【18题详解】
段中句，考查结论性过渡句。空前句子“In contrast, white objects reflect all wavelengths of light energy”
（相反，白色物体反射所有波长的光能）和D选项“So it will not be transformed into heat which makes the
air hot.”（所以它不会转化为使空气变热的热量。）形成因果关系。即，白色物品会反射所有波长的光，
因此能量不会被转换成热量，从而让空气变热。故选D。
【19题详解】
段首句，考查段落主题句。A选项“Cities also produce more heat than suburban areas.”（城市也比郊区产生
更多的热量。）中的“produce more heat（产生更多的热量）”与选项下一句“As people drive cars, heat
buildings, and run air conditioners, cities are generating waste heat and pouring it into the atmosphere directly.”（随着
人们开车、给建筑物供暖和使用空调，城市正在产生废热，并将其直接排放到大气中。）中的“generate
waste heat（产生废热）”形成对应关系。开车，供暖或是开空调都是产生热量的行为。故选A。
【20题详解】
段末句，考查递进逻辑关系。本段的讨论内容为解决热岛效应的方法。G选项中的“these changes（这些变
化）”对应了选项前面一句的方法，即，“covering black asphalt streets, parking lots, and dark roofs with a
more reflective gray coating”（覆盖黑色沥青街道、停车场和深色屋顶的反光性更强的灰色涂层）。同时，
G选项“These changes can decrease air temperatures dramatically, especially in summer.”（这些变化会使气温
急剧下降，尤其是在夏天。）进一步解释了这些举措所能带来的好处，与前文形成递进关系。故选G。第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。由中国国际文化协会、中央美术学院主办的“快乐春节”全球吉祥物设计大
赛于8月19日在北京拉开帷幕。文章对此进行了报道。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由中国国际文化协会、中央美术学院主办的“快乐春节”全球吉祥物设计大赛于
8月19日在北京拉开帷幕。动词organize意为“组织”，和谓语之间没有连词，在句中作非谓语，和其逻
辑主语构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式。句首首字母应大写。故填Organized。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：“快乐春节”包括在海外国家举办的一系列关于农历新年的活动，让人
们体验节日气氛，了解中国文化。空处为主句谓语动词，此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。主语
“Happy Chinese New Year” 为第三人称单数，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填involves。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：“快乐春节”包括在海外国家举办的一系列关于农历新年的活动，让人们体验节日气氛，了解中国文化。country意为“国家”，为可数名词，overseas前没有限定词，所以此处应用复数形
式。故填countries。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：比赛收集的吉祥物设计体现了“快乐春节”活动的理念，强调团圆、节日气氛和分
享。此处是限制性定语从句，先行词为concept，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词which
或that引导。故填which或that。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：由于明年是兔年，所以以兔子为主要形象的设计应该是丰富的农历新年文化元素。设空
处应为介词，表示“作为”应用as。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：征集活动于8月19日开始，9月26日结束。根据“began on August 19(于8月19日开
始)”和“will end on Sept 26(9月26日结束)”可知，此处表示并列关系，应用连词and连接两个谓语。故
填and。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：征集的作品将进入四个阶段的评审，最终选出的作品将于今年年底作为“快乐中国新
年”活动的吉祥物正式发布。此处修饰谓语动词，应用副词officially表示“官方地，正式地”，作状语。
故填officially。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：据文化和旅游部国际交流与合作局局长高征介绍，“快乐春节”自20多
年前推出以来，已成为海外最受欢迎、最具影响力的品牌活动之一。根据“since its launch more than 20
years ago(自20多年前推出以来)”可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语“Happy Chinese New Year”为第三人
称单数，助动词使用has。故填has become。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：据文化和旅游部国际交流与合作局局长高征介绍，“快乐春节”自20多年前推出以来，
的
已成为海外最受欢迎、最具影响力 品牌活动之一。此处作表语，应用形容词influential表示“有影响力
的”。故填influential。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他希望为国内外观众提供更具创新性的体验。固定搭配hope to do意为“希望
做”，所以此处应用to do不定式，作宾语。故填to provide。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
The Toy Tree
It was a bare tree with thin branches which looked like they might snap (折断) at any moment, but it was the
only tree in the estate gardens. In spring, the tree cheered up the grey concrete with its blossom. And, in summer, its
shade comforted the restless heat.
Gabe loved the tree. He and his friends played by it all the time. The tree’s blessing for the community, but not
for Mr. Snider, the caretaker, who hated the tree. When he had to mow (割) the grass around it or sweep its
blossoms or fallen leaves from the path, he would grumble (咕哝), “It’s in my way.” or “Who has to clean up all
this mess? Me, that’s who!”
Sometimes he threatened to cut it down. One morning before the coming New Year, Gabe spotted him walked
towards the tree with a chainsaw (电锯). He shouted, “Mum! What’s Mr. Snider doing?” Mum put down her
knitting needles — she was knitting everyone scarves and came over to the window. Gabe grabbed her hand and
ran down two flights of stairs to the garden. Soon they were standing between Mr. Snider and the tree.
“Out of my way,” said the caretaker. “Time for this eyesore (眼中钉) to go.”
“This eyesore is of great public interest.” Mum tried to sound important.“And we love this tree,” begged Gabe.
“Not a good enough reason.” Mr. Snider was getting his chainsaw ready.
Gabe desperately tried to think of more reasons to keep the tree, then he remembered the toy tree he’d seen in
town. It had colourful gift tags (礼品签) on it and written on every tag was the name of a toy a child had wished
for. Mum had explained to him that if someone took a tag and bought the gift on it, the charity would send it to a
child who might not get New Year presents.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gabe said, “It is going to be a toy tree.”

【答案】Possible version：
Gabe said, “it is going to be a toy tree.” He explained that they were going to decorate it and put tags on it
so they can buy presents for children who need them. Then he flashed a look for help at his mum. “Yes,” Mum said
enthusiastically, "Mr Snider, we’re decorating it this weekend." Mr. Snider looked suspicious. He almost turned
purple trying to think up an argument, but he was beaten. He lowered his chainsaw and stormed off. That evening,
Gabe and his mum put up posters to let everyone know about the toy tree, and they contacted the charity to get tags.
By the weekend, the charity tags had arrived. The whole community came to decorate the tree. They sang
as they hung tags, and it felt like a party. The bare tree soon looked dazzling. Everyone went home, beamingly, with
a tag from the toy tree. As Gabe stepped back to admire everyone’s handiwork, he spotted Mr Snider looking out of
his window with a frown. Gabe waved at him. “We leave one tag for you!” With hesitation, Mr. Snider let out a
sigh, then walked to the toy tree and took it down. At that moment, the tree was not an eyesore any more.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小区花园里有一棵树，Gabe和小伙伴们都很喜欢这棵树。这棵树是对社区的祝福，但看护者 Mr. Snider讨厌这棵树，他视这棵树为眼中钉。新年前的一天早上，Gabe发现
他拿着电锯向树走去，Gabe和妈妈拼命想出理由来保护这棵树的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“加布说：“这将是一棵玩具树。”可知，第一段可描写Gabe向看护者 Mr. Snider
解释他的玩具树并联系了慈善机构获得标签。
②由第二段首句内容“到了周末，慈善标签已经到了。”可知，第二段可描写大家来装饰这棵树，给树挂
上标签，小孩子都兴奋地带着玩具树上的标签。 Mr. Snider目睹这一切，很欣慰，那一刻，这棵树不再是
他的眼中钉了。
2.续写线索：解释——Mr. Snider离开——获得标签——装饰树——小朋友开心——Mr. Snider感悟
3.词汇激活

②.叹气：let out a sigh /sigh
③.发现：spot/notice

③.喜气洋洋地：beamingly /joyfully
【点睛】

window with a frown. （由as引导的时间状语从句。）
[高分句型2]. With hesitation, Mr. Snider let out a sigh, then walked to the toy tree and took it down.（由let out a
sigh、walked to the toy tree 和 took it down三个并列谓语动词构成连贯的动作链。）
