13、 astronaut. He was my dad.” I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay., 以及续写首段所给句中uI shrugged ”可知，作者并不 想因为父亲是宇航员而获奖，他在比赛作文中也没有描写作为宇航员儿子的感受，而是写了父 亲对他日常关爱的点滴回忆。因此第一段听到第一名是Ellen不是他，会有种松了 口气但同时也 会有点失落的复杂感情。2. 由原文“There are three prizes for each of you.” “I handed it in the next day and w
14、as surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the auditorium on Thursday night.”以及续写第二段所 给句中“ Surprised and thrilled, I went up to the stage. ”可知，作者也获奖了，可以上台读自己的 文章，续写第一段末尾需要写出上台理由一一获奖；续写第二段应紧接着描写上台读文章。3. 全文标题为“My Fthers Son ，是本文主题。再力口上原文中“I often wonder how my father ever had a
15、son like me. I mean hes so special and so good at everything he does. But Im just an average eleven- year- old kid.” 以及“ but I used to dream about doing something spectacular to impress my father and make him proud of me”可知，作者很在意父亲对他的看法，希望能成为让父亲骄傲的儿子，因 此作者参加这次作文比赛会很重视父亲的反应。学生若写不出获奖作文的标题也是“My Fthers
16、Son不扣分，但还是要求学生要关注标题，准确把握文章主题，需要描写父亲听了我的文 章有何反应。【情节思路】第一段：Ellen作文获一等奖一我的感受-Ellen讲完观众（尤其是父亲）的反应一我的感受一宣 布我获得二等奖第二段：我上台读文章一观众的反应一父亲的感受/反应一我的反应一自然结尾/点题 【续写难度】本文情节清晰，但学生可能会出现以下问题：1 .较难准确地体会到作者听到Ellen获奖时那种复杂的情感；2 .没能关注到标题的点睛作用，并很好地呼应到续写中；3 .第一段过多描写EHen文章内容，偏离本文主题。4 .第二段过多照搬原文对父亲的点滴回忆，过多描述作文内容，而没有描写父亲听后反应。汕

36、rchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more about the mammalian （哺乳动物的） brain. A vital enzyme （酶）,a special material, allows brain signals to be transmitted or transported. The enzyme is randomly turning on and off, even taking hours-long “breaks from work. These discoveries could
37、 have a significant impact on our understanding of the brain and the development of medicines. The discovery is featured on the cover of Nature.Millions of neurons （神经元） are constantly communicating with one another, shaping thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will. Neurotran
38、smitters are transported from one neuron to another by a unique enzyme when two neurons meet to exchange a message.This process is necessary for neuronal communication as well as the survival of all complex organisms （extremely small living things）. Until now, researchers all over the world assumed
39、that these enzymes were constantly active, transmitting vital signals. However, this is not the case.It is almost impossible to understand that the extremely critical process of loading neurotransmitters in containers is carried out by only one cell per container. Especially when we find that 40% of
40、 the time these cells are switched off.Using a new method, researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen closely examined the enzyme and discovered that its activity switches on and off at random periods of time, contradicting our previous understanding.“Contrary to po

43、. How could we move our bodies as we like?A The communication between neurons happens without stop.B We shape our thoughts though we may not have good memories.C The newly found unique enzyme is at the most time switched off.D Neurotransmitters transport a unique enzyme from one neuron to another.34

46、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。Our lives are full of habits. Unfortunately a great many of them are bad habits. One way to break these bad habits is to fill our lives with good habits. Most people decide one day that they need to make changes to their lives and then they go all out
47、 to make big sweeping changes. This may work for them for the first few days, but then they get burned out.36This is a very unproductive way to spendyour time and energy.37Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day. One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this
48、 up for one week. Then because you are naturally resistant to change, you go back to your old habit. A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day. After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change.38This approach can work for just about anything. If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day.
