写作综合练(一)【1】假如你叫李华,你的美国网友Jim发来一封email,向你了解我国传统节日端午节的情况,请你根据中文提示和图片利用本单元学过的词汇写一封图文并茂的电子文档发给他。
节日日期:中国农历五月初五节日由来:爱国诗人屈原——投江自尽——划船找他的尸体——往江中投粽子(以免鱼损伤他的躯体)。
节日活动:家人团聚,观看龙船比赛,吃粽子,纪念先人。
参考词汇:端午节The Dragon Boat Festival/Duanwu Festival;农历Lunar calendar;自杀commit suicide;汨罗江M iluo River【2】It’s easy to see how the sawfish got its name.These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long.Their bodies are flat and winged,like underwater airplanes.And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are food hunters of the sea.When a sawfish is hungry,it waves its sharpt oothed snout (口鼻部) through a group of fish.Then,it lifts its nose anduses its mouth to draw the injured victims.Hardy (适应力强的)population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlin es around the world for thousands of years.Over the past 200 years,however,human actions have severely endangered sawfish.Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals,often by mistake.Some people collect sawfish’s snouts as prizes:One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online.In some Asian cultures,the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away.And sawfish are also delicious.A growing demand in Asia for the fish’s fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish’s loves.Compared with other fish,sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population.Beginning next month,an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of th e world’s sawfish species.Scientists are hoping that it’s not too late to save the sawfish.Until 1998,“this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,”says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota,Fla.“We didn’t know such basic things as where they live,what habitat they use,how often they breed,how many young they have—even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”Through historical studies and field research,scientists have become aware of how much the fish’s numbers h ave decreased.Today,there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be.Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.Sawfish【3】Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans eat often.The word also has another meaning in English.It is used to describe something—usually something someone says—that is false or wrong or foolish.Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian city,Bologna.The city is famous for its sausage,a mixture of smoked,spiced meat from cows and pigs.But,boloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone.Some language experts think this different taste is responsible for the birth of the expression baloney.Baloney is an idea or statement that is nothing like the truth...in the same way that baloney sausage tastes nothing like the meat that is used to make it.Baloney is a word often used by politicians to describe the ideas of their opponents.The expression has been used for years.Fifty years ago,a former governor of New York State,Alfred Smith,criticized some claims by President Franklin Roosevelt about the successes of the Roosevelt administration.Smith said,“No matter how thin you slice is,it is still baloney.”A similar word has almost the same meaning as baloney.It even sounds almost the same.The word is blarney.It began in Ireland about 1600.The lord of Blarney castle,near Cork,agreed to surrender the castle to British troops.But he kept making excuses for postponing the surrender.And,he made them sound like very good excuses,“This is just more of the same blarney.”The Irish castle now is famous for its Blarney stone.Kissing the stone is thought to give a person special powers of speech.One who has kissed the Blarney stone,so the story goes,can speak words of praise so smoothly and sweetly that you believe them,even when you know they are false.1.What’s the main idea of the text?(No more than 5 words)2.According to Americans,what does baloney refer to?(No more than 8 words)3.What do you know about the lord of Blarney castle,near Cork?(No more than 6 words)4.Why do people kiss the Blarney stone?(No more than 6 words)答案【1】【参考范文】Dear Jim,Thanks for your int erest in my country’s traditional festivals.And I’m delighted to introduce The Dragon Boat Festival to you.The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is one of the most significant traditional Chinese festivals.It falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to Chinese Lunar calendar.The festival is said to be in honour of Qu Yuan, a great poet as well as one who tried all his best to help his own country but failed and committed suicide by drowning himself in Miluo River. The folks respected and loved him so much that they threw zongzi into the river to prevent fish from eating his body. Later it became a custom for people to eat zongzi and watch dragon boat races on that day.Now we ca n have a oneday holiday on this festival when all fa mily members can stay together and enjoy a big meal. As far as I am concerned, it is a chance for people not only to have a day to have fun, but also a day to recall the memories of our ancestors and to give thanks to the ones who have helped us. Although Qu Yuan was gone, his spirit will always live with us.Yours,Li Hua【2】1.Descriptions/Features/Characteristics 2.Shape/Appearance 3.Over 6meter long4.its sharptoothed snout5.Factors/Reasons for/Causes of6.People’s fishcatching activities7.giving birth/breeding late 8.Present/Today’s situation 9.Aim/Goal/Purpose 10.Offering protection【3】1.The other meaning of baloney.2.It is something false or wrong or foolish.3.He was a clever man.4.To get special powers of speech.。

Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely—by looking both ways for cars.But do they also teach them to put away their cellphones? According to statistics from years of studies,they almost never say so.In view of this,the city of Honolulu,Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson.Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city.Beginning on October 24,you can be fined from$15 to$99 if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone.Honolulu is the first major U.S.city to ban what is called“distracted walking”.It recently passed a law,which says no pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device.The law includes all electronic devices with screens,from cellphones,tablets,gaming devices,digital cameras to laptop computers.However,the law does permit an exception:pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers,such as firefighters and police officers.Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cellphones rises in the past few years.The Governors Highway Safety Association,orGHSA,says pedestrian deaths in the United States increased 25 percent between 2010 and 2015.That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6,000,11% higher than in 2015.Other U.S.cities may follow Honolulu.The state of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007.Now,46 other states as well as Washington D.C.,Puerto Rico,Guam and the U.S.Virgin Islands,have laws against texting while driving.2.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

On a cold, stormy winter day, an old friend invited me out for a cup of coffee. We met by his house,and as we walked down the street, we passed by a small cafe with a sign hanging on the door that read:"You're welcome in. We have suspended coffee.""Suspended coffee?" I asked my friend."What does that mean?""You've never heard of it?" my friend asked, and I.shook my head. "Follow me," he told me, and we joined the line of peoplestanding in front of the cash register."What can I offer you today?” The cashier asked a couple of young lawyers who were looking at the menu."I think we'll take three cups of coffee,"one of them said."2 now,and 1 suspended.” The cashier nodded, as if it were an ordinary order, took payment and placed two cups of hot coffee on the counter. The two thanked him, took the two cups and left without waiting for the third.The next in line was an older couple."Same order as always?" The cashier smiled at them."Yes,thank you," replied the woman. “But please add two suspended coffees, we haven't purchased any of those for quite a while.”A few minutes later the couple received their order, and our tum to order arrived."Good morning!" said the cashier."How can I help you?""I think we'd like two cups of coffee,"my friend said."We'll drink them here.” When our order was ready, we took our cups and sat down to drink them together."Will you tell me what this is about?" I asked my friend, but he just said:"Wait andsee.”Our conversation flowed, and before we noticed it,nearly two hours passed. The cafe was almost empty of people when the door suddenly opened and a man in old shabby clothes and a tired look came in and stood quietly in front of the cash register.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。

(2024·山东泰安二模)It was going to be my first day at Rainbow Middle School. Everyone else wascoming back from winter holiday, but I was going to be new in this school.After getting out of my mother’s car, I looked around and noticed that kids were gathering around in the hallways with their friends, whispering and giggling. Not knowing anyone and having nowhere to go, I decided to just wait outside until thebell rang.I was standing outside Mrs Everett’s classroom reading a novel named OliverTwist, when I glanced back to find someone looking over my shoulder.“Are you new here?Anyway, I absolutely love the novel! It’s one of my favourite novels. By the way,I’m Macy!” the girl said.I was about to answer when the bell cut me off. Shyly, I entered the classroom to find Mrs Everett smiling and she led me to a seat. Once everyone came in and sat down, Mrs Everett called me up to the front and introduced me to the class. As I scannedtheir faces, I noticed that they looked bored and didn’t seem to care about me. I returned to my seat and listened to the teacher for the rest of the class.The lunch bell rang and I got out of the classroom, checking my backpack for my lunch. Scanning the lunch tables, I was nervously wondering where I should sit when I saw Macy approaching me.“Hey, if you want, you can come and sit with us.” Macy offered as she pointed to a pink table near the classrooms. Feeling happy, I glanced over where she was pointing and followed her over. Suddenly, my shoelace untied atthat moment. Then I knocked into Macy and dropped my lunchbox. I said sorry andpicked up my lunchbox. With my head low, I was afraid the other girls at the table would laugh at me.Tomysurprise, theystartedcomfortingme.Afterschool, Iwaitedformymothertopickmeupattheschoolgate.参考答案“应用文+读后续写”实力升级练组合练(一)Ⅰ.DearMichael,Ourschoolisgoingtohaveacookingcoursethisterm.KnowingyouareanenthusiastofChinesefo od,Iheartilyrecommendittoyou.ThecourseisarrangedoneveryWednesdayafternoonfrom5:00p.m.to6:00p.m.Wecanlearnbasic knifeskills,fooddecoratingandtraditionalcookingmethods.Meanwhile,wewillhavefunexchang ingcookingexperienceandsharingfoodtogether.What’smore,wecanpickvariousorganicvegetab lesgrownonourschoolfarmwhenpreparingforadish.I’msurethecourseappealstoyou.Lookingforwardtoyourreply!Yours,LiHua Ⅱ.Tomysurprise,theystartedcomfortingme.SomeofthemcameuptomeandaskedifIwasOK.Oneevenkind lyofferedmeherlunch.Atthatmoment,IrealisedthatIreallyhadhadamisunderstandingofthem.At f irst,Ihadthoughttheydidn’tcareaboutme.However,theygotalongwellwithme.Wehadareallyha ppytimehavingourlunchtogether.Afterschool,Iwaitedformymothertopickmeupattheschoolgate.Mynewclassmatesallgreeted mewhentheypassedme.Macystoppedandsaidshe’dliketomakefriendswi thme.Iagreedhappily,and wetalkedmuchandsurprisinglyfoundwelivedinthesamecommunity.Whenmymotherarrived,wetwost artedourjourneyhome,andwe’vebeengoinghometogethereverydaysincethen.。

现吨市安达阳光实验学校高考二轮复习步步高强化训练(一)完形填空Chinese people think a lot about food.In fact,I think that they are sometimes obsessed(痴迷) with it.My first experience of this 36 of Chinese culture came at a banquet during a trip to Beijing in 1998.I had eaten Chinese food often,but I could not have 37 how fabulous(丰盛的)a real Chinese banquet could be.The first six or seven dishes seemed to 38 the table, with plates dangerously 39 one on top of another.I thought this vast 40 of food was the total number of dishes to be served,and I started eating 41 .Everyone else just 42 a bit of each dish and then put their chopsticks down,continuing to chat.“They can't have very big appetites,” I thought.To my surprise,more dishes 43 ,plus soups,side dishes,and desserts.There was enough to feed a whole army.No 44 my fellow guests had had only a few 45 of each dish;they knew what was still to come.But I was already so 46 that I could only 47 as the banquet continued.Another aspect of“food culture”is that the Chinese seem to eat almost every part of every animal——much to the 48 of many westerners.Stomach,ears,tongue,tail,hoof and lungs are all likely to 49 on the dinner table in front of you.The first time I saw a three-year-old kid 50 chewing a chicken's head I had bad dreams for Weeks.These days I enjoy that sort of food myself. 51 ,there are other kinds of foods that have taken longer for me to 52 .The infamous(臭名昭著的) choudoufu is a(n) 53 .(The name says it all: “stinky tofu”.) Just when I got used to it, I found another 54 on a trip to Hunan:deep-fried choudoufu, a horrible black substance that looked and 55 about as appetizing as a burnt tennis shoe.Maybe I'll get used to that, too—someday.36.A.problem B.aspect C.situation D.appearance37.A.introduced B.distinguished C.imagined D.instructed38.A.fill B.destroy C.furnish D.evaluated39.A.decorated B.furnished C.balanced D.measured40.A.preparation B.wave C.quality D.pleasure41.A.hurriedly B.secretly C.gladly D.greedily42.A.looked B.tested C.tasted D.checked43.A.disappeared B.arrived C.escapedD.charged44.A.wonder B.doubt C.use D.problem 45.A.sights B.examinations C.appreciations D.bits46.A.hungry B.angry C.full D.disappointed47.A.complain B.classified C.wait D.watch48.A.taste B.horror C.belief D.nature49.A.put up B.pick up C.make up D.end up50.A.generally B.regretfully C.cheerfully D.helplessly51.A.Therefore B.However C.Somehow D.Besides52.A.refuse B.adopt C.accept D.cook53.A.example B.excuse C.reason D.cause54.A.experience B.variety C.beauty D.interest 55.A.fried B.advertised C.sold D.smelled阅读理解Staring at the creature in the small cage at the shelter,Brain Gallagher—six-foot-tall,254 pounds—knew he’d met his match.The dog’s black eyes stared back fearlessly and challengingly.“You don’t want this one,” a salesman said, “nothing but trouble.”“I’m a policeman,” Gallagher shot back.“Trouble’s my business.”“Yeah,well,this dog was leading a pack(一群) that was running wild.Nobody wants him.” The salesman pointed at a door to the room where animals are put to sleep.Gallagher looked at the card taped to the cage “King”.The dog barked(吠)and the hair stood out around his neck,making his large head appear even bigger.Gallagher took a towel from a paper bag,rolled it,and waved it slowly in front of the cage.King’s eyes watched the towel.When Gallagher held it closer,the dog put his powerful jaws(颚)on the heavy wire bar.“Told you,” said the salesman, “too wild.”“Unlock it,” Gallagher said.“You kidding?”“Go ahead.He’ll be okay.”The salesman shook his head,unlocked the cage and quickly stepped back.“Okay, boy,” Gallagher said softly, slowly opening the cage.Carefully he held out his hand.The dog smelled.Then he offered the rolled towel.At once, King caught it.Seconds later, the towel was torn into pieces.Gallagher moved back, allowing King out of the cage.King jumped out.His eyes passed over the frightened salesman and focused on Gallagher, who threw another towel down 60-foot hall.King was off like a rocket.Half way down, he started running on the floor wildly.His backside crashed against the far wall.But he had the towel, which he raced back to Gallagher.“He’s got real spirit,” thought Gallagher as the two played tug of war (拔河).Then he tried to pull King back into the cage by pulling the towel hard.Immediately, King bit his forearm.“Okay, you will,” Gallagher said in a soft voice.“You don’t like to be told what to do.Neither do I.” Slowly he reached for the towel with his free hand and threw it into the cage, as if to say, “don’t try that again.”King se t Gallagher’s arm free and ran into his cage.“I’ll be back to pick him up,” Gallagher told the wide-eyed salesman 1.Nobody wanted King because .A.he was too old to work for people.B.he was too wild to be raised as a pet.C.he had the habit to eat expensive food.D.only the policeman was suitable to raise him.2.The dog made his head look larger by letting his hair stand out as if to .A.scare people B.attract people's attentionC.show his cleverness D.enjoy himself3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The salesman rushed out of the room as soon as Gallagher opened the cage.B.The salesman understood the dog better than Gallagher.C.Gallagher understood the dog better than the salesman.D.Gallagher just wanted to frighten the salesman.4.Gallagher managed to let the dog free his arm by .A.beating the dog hard.

【2】“Marginal” lands might have low quality soil.Or they might be on a hillside that rises sharply.Or they might be in an area that gets limited rainfall.In any case,they are the last to be planted under good conditio ns and the first to be avoided under bad conditions.But there are uses for marginal lands.Most often they are used as grasslands for cattle,sheep or goats.A farmer might use native grass or nonnative seeds.Either way,it is important to establish good ground cover to avoid the loss of soil through erosion.Forage crops like clover and alfalfa could be planted.These members of the legume fa mily provide high protein food for grazing animals.They also improve the quality of the soil.Most plants use up nitrogen.Legumes put nitrogen back into the soil.Forage crops also help reduce erosion of the soil.But using marginal lands for grazing is not as simple as it might sound.Cattle can damage forage crops by eating down to the roots.Also,their weight crushes the soil.That can make the ground too hard for growing.A way to reduce the damage from overgrazing is to move anim als from one field to another.Experts say rotational grazing like this is extremely important for marginal lands.We will talk more about rotational grazing next week.Another use for marginal lands is for tree crops.Trees help support the soil.They reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain.And they can provide grazing animals with shade from the sun.Studies have shown that the white pine and loblolly pine are two kinds of trees that grow well on marginal lands.They grow fast and provide good quality wood.Another kind to consider is the poplar.And there are slowergrowing trees like the black walnut that provide a nut crop as well as wood.Marginal lands need care.Failing to take that care might only make a bad situation worse.But good planning can turn a marginal resource into a highly productive one.Title:1. Marginal Landslikeng【3】Thousands of years ago people guessed the time of day by watching the sun.Later,they found it was easier to tell the exact time by looking at the shadows.Thus,the sundial (日晷) was invented.The sundial proved a useful timepiece in sunny weather.However,another type of timepiece was necessary for cloudy weather and night time.A sand glass was another common measurer of time.Two glass bottles were connected by a very small opening.The top bottle was filled with sand,which dropped slowly into the bottom one in a certain period of time.Hour glasses were widely used then.Threeminute sand glasses are still used in many homes to time the boiling of eggs.The real ancestor of modern clocks was the water clock.In China,an early water clock was made up of several bowls.Water trickled (滴) from one bowl to another to keep the clock going.Visitors to the Beijing Palace Museum can still see the old water clock showing the time there.In the Middle Ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weights.To keep the weight falling at the same speed,a system of wheels was invented.The pendulum (钟摆) was soon developed to control the speed of the wheels.Thu s the modern form of clock came into being.1.Why are threeminute sand glasses still used in many homes?(No more than 10 words)2.What was the weight falling speed of a clock kept by in the Middle Ages?(No more than 6 words)3.What was ancestor of a m odern clock?(No more than 3 words)4.How did the water clock work?(No more than 8 words)答案【1】【参考范文】These pictures remind me of what sometimes may happen in the street.One day, when a child and his father wanted to go to the toy store across the street.The father decided not to go across the zebra crossing as it was a bit far away from where they were.He said,“We can cross from here.Look,follow me.”He jumped over the traffic railing and landed on the fast lane.He was just about to encourage the child to do the same when a policeman cam e over.The policeman criticized his irresponsible and dangerous behaviour and fined him.The father lowered his head and admitted that he was wrong.As we know the father is his son’s closest role model.If the father is irresponsible,he may have a bad influence on his son.Parents should be a good example for their children so that they will grow up to become good citizens.【2】1.Finding Uses for 2.Features 3.have low quality 4.getting limited rainfall 5.Ways to 6.planting/growing tree crops 7.Forage crops 8.Reasons 9.Improving the quality 10.Providing shade for【3】1.To measure the time of boiling eggs.2.A system of wheels.3.The water clock.4.Through water trickling f rom one bowl to another.。

One of the most difficult realities about the teaching profession is that we seldom know if we have made a difference.When I become discouraged about my job,my students or myself,I often think back to one particular day of my teaching career.My first year of teaching was almost over.I taught junior English at Milford High School on a one-year contract.I had a bright group of students and I was grateful for that.However,as the end of the school year drew to a close,my students continually asked if the regular teacher would return.I tried to respond with little emotion.Deep down,though,I was more bothered by leaving than I admitted.Finally,the day came to give my last lesson.I passed the office before the bell rang and saw a couple of the students from my class,and I thought how difficult saying goodbye would be.They were a group with whom I could joke,have fun and share ideas.Teaching them was a pleasure,and we all had learned a lot that year.But,as successful students do,they were moving on to the twelfth grade,and I doubted whether they would remember much about me after a few more years of their academic careers and busy lives.Just about this time I was on hall duty outside my classroom,and I noticed the crowds thin out and classroom doors shut.I looked in my room to find only two students in attendance.When I commented that it was awfully strange that their classmates were so late,they agreed and then quickly asked to get a drink outside.The hallway was awfully quiet.I walked down the hall several times to see if anyone was coming.Suddenly,I heard footsteps coming down the hall.I was annoyed that after such a great year with these kids,I would—on their last day with me—have to give thema lecture about responsibility.注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

The folks respected and loved him so much that they threw zongzi into the river to prevent fish from eating his body. Later it became a custom for people to eat zongzi and watch dragon boat races on that day.Now we can have a oneday holiday on this festival when all family members can stay together and enjoy a big meal. As far as I am concerned, it is a chance for people not only to have a day to have fun, but also a day to recall the memories of our ancestors and to give thanks to the ones who have helped us. Although Qu Yuan was gone, his spirit will always live with us.Yours,Li Hua【2】1.Descriptions/Features/Characteristics 2.Shape/Appearance 3.Over 6meter long 4.its sharptoothed snout5.Factors/Reasons for/Causes of6.People’sfishcatching activities7.giving birth/breeding late 8.Present/Today’s situation 9.Aim/Goal/Purpose 10.Offering protection【3】1.The other meaning of baloney.2.It is something false or wrong or foolish.3.He was a clever man.4.To get special powers of speech.。
