1.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。
In the heart of Silicon Valley, Ethan and Olivia, two high-school teens, found themselves part of a big change: using AI in their studies. They were at a famous school where they were constantly under pressure to be excellent, but for both of them, English, especially the writing section, was a constant headache.
Ethan was great with analyzing but struggled when it came to creative writing. He found it hard to put his thoughts into words and his essays didn’t have the emotional depth that touched readers. Olivia, however, was a natural storyteller who could spin exciting tales that kept her friends on the edge of their seats, but she wasn’t so good with grammar and sentence structure.
One day, their teacher showed them an AI helper called “WordsAI”. In the beginning, they doubted how a machine could possibly understand the slight differences of human emotion and thoughts. But as they tried it out, they were surprised by how well it understood what they needed. WordsAI not only provided real-time grammar and spelling checks but also offered practical suggestions to improve their writing. It even helped them develop their own unique writing styles, and looked as if it could read their thoughts! With WordsAI’s help, Ethan could express himself clearly and emotionally, while Olivia improved her writing without losing her creativity.
However, their journey with WordsAI was not smooth all the way. With time going on, Ethan found Olivia started depending too much on the AI’s advice, even using it to come up with story ideas, which made her lose her unique perspective (观点) over time. Ethan was concerned that she was copying others’ work, so he suggested she should not rely on WordsAI too often. This caused a disagreement between them. Ethan questioned if Olivia was too dependent on AI, while Olivia argued that he was too stubborn to embrace technology that could assist them.

2.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
There are a few tips that can make road cycling fun and safe for people of all experience levels. In the United States, riders should usually ride on the right hand side of the road, while they may ride on the left side of the road in other countries. Besides, if the traffic is heavy, cyclists may be required to let other cars pass first in some areas. If bikeways are available (可用的), use the bikeways and know how to do safely. Generally,all road cyelists are required to follow all traffic signs and rules, even if other cars are not present.
Before your cycling, make sure the bike helmet (头盔) fits according to the instructions. If the helmet is too large or too small, it can’t protect the cyclist’s head well. Protective eyewear (护目镜)is also a good idea and must fit so it doesn’t fall off while speeding downhill or cycling uphill. If there are windy conditions, protective eyewear can help prevent dirt (灰尘) from causing the discomfort of eyes which can be a danger to a rider.
In fact, it is also important for riders to learn how to brake (刹车). This is usually done by quickly shaking the front brake. A good tip is to practice using the front brake before heading out on the road. Besides, it is important to learn how to ride in a bike group. It is often taught in a professional training team.
Finally, do not forget to plan and prepare for the bike route. For example, consider if road repairing is present on a given route. Besides,it may be more enjoyable to ride during times and on roads that do not have a heavy traffic. Meanwhile, consider whether a dog may be present;an angry dog may try to knock a cyclist over, and it may be best to find another route.

Eleven-year-old Kristina shouted on the phone. Vera, her mother, packing lunches for her two children, heard the shouting and dashed to Kristina. Kristina gave her the phone. Kristina was talking to her father at his doctor’s office in Moscow, Russia.
“Vlad, why is Kristina shouting ” began Vera in Russian.
“Vera, this afternoon I must attend a conference at her school. But I cannot be there. I have an important meeting. Why don’t you attend it ” Vlad replied.
“How can I go ”
“You are not going to a forest. You’ll be fine!”
“I know, but I can’t speak English properly. It’s a rule at her school.”
“You can manage. GO!”
Vera turned to Kristina, “Kristina, your father is busy. I will come instead of him.”
Kristina shouted, “Mother, you can’t speak English. How can you come to the conference NO!” She plowed through her mother and ran sobbing. But Vera convinced Kristina. As there was no option, she agreed and left for school.
Vera was depressed. She felt that if only she knew English, she could avoid such situations. “But how is it possible for me to learn English while balancing so many tasks ” Suddenly, she realized that Andrei was getting late, so she got him ready and walked him to school.
In the afternoon, Vera attended the conference at the school. All the teachers and staff gave a warm welcome to Vera. Kristina kept quieting her mother. All she said were phrases like, “You are embarrassing!” “Stop talking!” and “You do not know English!” Ignoring her daughter’s comments, Vera managed to keep her cool and finished the meeting.
After delivering a cake to a customer, Vera went home to start dinner. At home, she asked her mother-in-law where Kristina was. She said that Kristina had gone to study with her friends. While they were talking, Kristina walked in.

6.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When she was 22 years old, Pat Jones decided to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could when she was young. When she finished college at home in Britain, Pat chose to visit Latin America first. She managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though they did not know much English.
A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and she hoped that someday she would dream in Spanish and they would dream in English.
One day, Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early, but slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English.
“In English!” Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also jealous (嫉妒的). Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she decided to encourage her students and asked him to tell her about his dream.
“All the people in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers, magazines and TV programs were in English, too.”
“But that’s wonderful,” said Pat. “What did all the people say to you ” she asked.
“I’m sorry, Miss Jones. That’s why I slept so badly all night. I didn’t understand a word they said. It is a nightmare (噩梦)!” Tim answered.

7.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
English in the Third Millennium
Two thousand years ago English did not exist. A thousand years ago it was a language used by less than two million people. Now it is the most influential language in the world spoken by more than a billion people on the planet, as their first second or third language. English currently dominates science, business, the mass media and popular culture. For example, 80% of emails on the Internet are in English. But where will English be at the end of the third millennium
One view is that English is going to become even more important as a global language dominating the world’s trade and media while most other languages will become localized or just die out. At present over half the world’s 6500 languages are in danger of extinction. Another view is that English is already breaking up, as Latin did into several languages. There are already dictionaries of the 'New Englishes’ such as Australian English full of words that a British English speaker would not recognize.
Hopefully, neither of these things will happen. Although different varieties of English will continue to develop around the world, standard English will survive for international communication. In addition, the frightening prospect of a culturally uniform world totally dominated by one language is impossible. Already, other languages are fighting back against the iron grip of English on the Net. Governments around the world are also starting to protect smaller languages and recognize the importance of cultural and linguistic diversity. English will probably stay in control for a long time, at least while the USA remains the top superpower, but it definitely won’t become the only language in the world

8.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Cultures can be different from each other in many aspects. People can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages.
Some legends hold that (据说) thousands of years ago there was a single language spoken by everyone. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course.
Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that across cultures people can recognize three common emotions in music: happiness, sadness and fear.
Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, it just makes sense. The value of “pi” is roughly 3.14159 no matter where you are. Similarly, we judge the value of something by the same mathematical calculations, no matter whether you’re counting in dollars, pounds or RMB.

11.阅读下面短文,参照文后的结构图,写一篇80词左右的内容概要。
The Book That Keeps On Growing
It is one of the most famous books in the world; yet it has no story and no interesting characters, no exciting beginning and no satisfying ending. And yet this book keeps being printed and it keeps growing. This book is the Oxford English Dictionary, one of the most famous dictionaries in the English-speaking world.
The Oxford English Dictionary or OED for short, began in 1857 as just an idea of a group of people who thought the world needed an English-language dictionary to show the history of English words from 1150 CE to the present. It wasn’t until the late 1870s, however, when James Murray joined the project that it began to grow. Murray planned for a dictionary of about 6,400 pages in four volumes (册), completed in 10 years.
Murray and his assistants worked in a small metal building. They collected millions of pieces of paper, each one with a word and an example sentence or phrase written on it. Murray and his assistants worked hard, but after five years they had only reached the word ant!
It was not until 1928 that the dictionary was completed and published: 10 volumes with over 400, 000 words and phrases. James Murray did not live to see the completion of his life’s work, he passed away in 1915, over a decade before OED came out.
As soon as the dictionary was published, however, the editors started to update it! In 1933, the Oxford English dictionary was reprinted in 12 volumes. Between 1972 and 1986, four more volumes were added with new technical and scientific vocabulary and words from other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In 1989, the entire dictionary was reprinted in 20 volumes! Three years later, all 20 volumes were put onto CD-ROM, and the entire dictionary is available online today.
With about 600,000 words and three million quotations (引语) from over 1,000 years of English, the OED not only is a record of where the English language has come from but has also become an important part of the history of English-speaking cultures around the world.

16.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。(注意:续写词数应为150词左右)
As an enthusiastic language learner, Tony likes learning Chinese most though it is not his first language. He has found it easy to learn Chinese well since he began to learn it. He can understand nearly everything his Chinese teacher says in class. However, he didn’t realize that he would misunderstand it until one day, when he was in China.
Last year, Tony went to China as an exchange student from his hometown England. There he stayed with a Chinese family, whose members treated him well and were always friendly to him. They often showed him around the city and treated him to some traditional Chinese food, which made him feel lucky to meet such a generous and kind family.
(参考词汇:Lion’s Head狮子头;Ants Climbing Trees 蚂蚁上树;meatballs肉圆子;Sauteed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork粉丝炒肉末)
One afternoon, his host brother said excitedly, “Guess what We will have Lion’s Head and Ants Climbing Trees for dinner.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After hearing his words, they couldn’t help laughing and his host mother said,“These expressions are so interesting that often cause misunderstandings. Are there some words or phrases in English that will cause misunderstandings ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考答案:
1.After a big talk, they realized they weren’t using WordsAI in the proper way. Ethan recalled each time he set pen to paper, he always turned to WordsAI for more creative and vivid expressions though he considered his great. As for Olivia, it was a must for her to check each grammar and sentence that she was not sure of before completing the whole story. Both of their abilities declined but they never knew. “We have depended on WordsAI too much. If we continue like this, we will lose the natural ability of writing!” Hearing Ethan’s words, Olivia agreed that it’s high time that they should make a change.
Over time, they figured out how to mix technology with their own creativity in a harmonious way. Ethan had first finished his writing before he took advantage of WordsAI to create a similar article. Then, he did some research on how WordsAI managed to complete the writing, using specific vocabulary, which impressed him a lot. Olivia tried her best to correct all the grammar and sentence mistakes in the beginning and then referred to WordsAI to correct the mistakes. With time going by, their writing capabilities improved a lot due to the proper use of WordsAI.
2.To make road cycling fun and safe, road cyclists need to learn all traffic signs and rules of the road. They also need to learn how to brake in an unexpected situation and ride in a bike group. Besides, a good bike helmet and protective eyewear which fit cyclists can protect them successfully. Moreover, planning a proper bike route can help them stay away from some unexpected accidents and dangers while cycling.
3. I’d like to share my experience of studying English with you. At first, it was difficult for me to study English. I felt very sad, and the differences between Chinese and Western culture made me very puzzled.
But I knew that English was very important, so I worked hard. First, I listened to the teacher and took notes carefully and revised them after class. Second, I often read English newspapers or magazines in order to enrich my knowledge of English culture.
You can do these and make the most of various media to learn about culture differences, and you will make great progress soon.
4.One possible version:
After dinner, Vera complained about Kristina’s behavior to Vlad. Vera was tossing and turning when she thought about her hurt feelings. The next day, she saw an advertisement from LCC, the London Language Center, on the TV. They offered English classes to newcomers. Vera called their number and signed up for a four-week course. Every day, she managed to attend the class. She grasped every chance to communicate in English. In the last week, she announced the happy news to the family in English that she passed the test.
5.At dinner, Vera complained about Kristina’s behavior to Vlad. But he laughed and said, “Well, if you knew English, Kristina would not have to suffer like this.” Then he added, “This food is delicious. At least you are good at something!” That night, Vera was tossing and turning as she thought about her hurt feelings. “Like father, like daughter. If my husband doesn’t respect me, then how can my children respect me I must learn English. No matter how hard it may be, I must master English,” she thought.
The next day, she saw an advertisement from LCC, The London Language Center, on the TV. They offered English classes to newcomers. Vera called their number and signed up for a four-week course. Every day, she managed to attend the class. She grasped every chance to communicate in English. In the last week, she passed the test and announced the good news to the family in English. Kristina excitedly hugged her and said, “Congratulations, Mum! I am proud of you and sorry for what I said.” Vera smiled happily and felt, “With determination, anything is possible.”
6.One possible version:
After hearing the boy’s words, Pat felt sorry for his terrible experience and said at least that was a good beginning. She still believed in the sentence stuck in her mind, so the English teacher made a deal with her students. Though she had only a limited knowledge of Spanish, she decided she should use the language more often while her students should use English the same way.
In order to encourage her students to speak English, Pat also asked her students to tell their dreams in English while she did it in Spanish. It worked. Several students took turns to tell their dreams in fluent English. Amazingly, some students should finally dream in English, which made Pat almost jump with joy the moment she heard what her students said. She was not jealous this time. One possible explanation for this is that “practice makes perfect”.
7.It has taken over 1000 years for English to develop into the most influential language in the world. As for its prospect, some consider it even more important as a global language, dominating the world’s trade and media while others argue English will break into several languages. However, even though English may stay in control, other smaller languages will be protected from extinction.
8.Possible version 1:
Although there exist some differences in people’s diets, housing, languages, beliefs and customs globally, people can still communicate with each other in universal languages.(要点1) It’s even interesting to think that people used to speak the same language in the ancient world. (要点2) Music is believed to be a universal language that can make people share common emotions.(要点3) The same is also true for math, because the value of something remains unchanged (fixed) wherever you are and whichever way you are calculating.(要点4)
Possible version 2:
Though cultures may be different in diets, housing, languages and beliefs, people can communicate with each other through universal languages. (要点1) It is said that people used to speak only one language but there are no convincing facts of it. (要点2)However, music is considered a universal language as it conveys the basic feelings like happiness, sadness and fear. (要点3) Maths is another universal language because people value things with the same criteria no matter what measurements they use. (要点4)
Possible version 3:
Though cultures may be different in many ways, people can communicate with each other through universal languages. (要点1)It is said that people used to speak only one language but there are no convincing facts of it. (要点2)Music is considered a universal language because people can find some common feelings in it. (要点3) Maths is also a universal language since some mathematical calculations are fixed among people. (要点4)
Possible version 4
Although cultures vary/ differ worldwide in food, living, languages and beliefs, they shares similarities in what we called universal languages. (要点一)Interestingly, legendary beliefs claim that a single language was spoken in ancient times, which lacks convincing facts.(要点二)Nowadays,some forms of languages can be recognized universally. For instance, people enjoy a mutual understanding of music regardless of their backgrounds.(要点三)Math is another example because the same calculation methods can be adopted to judge the value wherever we are.(要点四)
9.Dear Nick,
I’m glad to receive your letter, you asked me how to learn Chinese well. Here are my suggestions.
First, you can keep a diary in Chinese every day. Because the purpose of learning Chinese is to use it, if you can practice with your written English, you will certainly improve the level of Chinese. Second, you have to take Chinese lessons. You can learn some basic grammar and general knowledge from the class. Third, you must be interested in Chinese, because interest is the best teacher. Fourth, you can listen to some Chinese songs and watch some Chinese TV and books.
I hope my suggestions will help you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
10.Paragraph 1:
After hearing the boy’s words, Pat, the English teacher, began to shake her belief in the sentence stuck in her mind. Her jealousy had all gone. Staring into the boy’s eyes, Pat sensed something wrong hidden there. Obviously, the boy was telling a lie. Seeing the negative effect his behaviour would have on her students, Pat decided to teach the boy a lesson.Though she knew only a little Spanish, she decided to scold him using the language.
Paragraph 2:
In order to inspire her students to speak English, Pat arranged for several people in the secondary school to have weekly talks, their topics ranging from travelling around the world to language learning methods. After several weeks, many of her students came running to her, telling her that they finally dreamed in English.This time, instead of being jealous, Pat felt proud of them, saying that she would also try her best to learn Spanish so that one day she would also dream in Spanish.
11.范例1:
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED), one of the most famous English dictionaries, began in 1857, when it was only an idea to show the history of English words. Thanks to James Murray’s participation in the late 1870s, OED began to grow and it was finally published in 1928. However, since its publication, it has always been updated, with more words and quotations added to it. Having recorded the evolution of the English language, OED has become an important part of English-speaking cultures. (81)

Oxford English Dictionary is one of the most famous English dictionaries. In 1857, the idea of compiling an English dictionary was put forward but it was not until the late 1870s when James Murray joined that the project began to grow. In 1928, the dictionary was finished and published. Since then, it has been constantly updated to 20 volumes. OED not only records the origin of the English language but also works as an important part of the history of English-speaking cultures. (82)
12. Hello, my name is Lisa. I am from China. Today I’d like to talk about something about learning English. English is the most widely used language in the world. In my opinion, learning English is very fun becuase it offers us a fantastic opportunity to understand different cultures.
We can take a variety of steps to make English learning interesting instead of just memorizing words and learning grammar. If you like music, learning English songs will be a good way and it can combine your hobby with English. If you like movies, don’t miss English movies.
Not only does learning English expand my horizon, but also it makes me more confident and open-minded.
13.One possible version
Internet slang such as LOL (laughing out loud) enjoys great popularity among teenagers nowadays. Students’ opinions on this issue are divided.
Students who are in favor of it are in the majority. 35 percent of them hold the view that Internet slang is vivid and fashionable. 33 percent of them decide that they can enjoy its humor and intelligence when using it. In addition, 25 percent of the students believe it makes chatting on the internet more convenient. On the contrary, a small number of them think Internet slang lacks depth of thought, and it’s too casual. Besides, it is hard for most people to understand and accept this kind of slang. If used too much in a passage, it may confuse readers and even cause misunderstanding.
In my opinion, now we are living in the Information Age, so if we are not familiar with internet slang, we’re likely to fall behind.
14.Practicing Writing After Class
Writing is one of the English skills, so the students in our class are trying to improve it. Here are my findings. Most students often recite excellent compositions, which can help develop a sense of language. Some like writing diaries every day, while others sometimes write letters to foreign e-friends.
I think these are all good ways to improve English writing ability as long as they suit us. Whatever ways we choose, we all need to be careful. In my opinion, besides those ways, we can contribute regularly to the school English newspaper. While we practice writing, we should also listen, speak and read more, because all skills reinforce each other.
15.Dear classmates,
Now, I’d like to share with you how I learn English.
First, I try to learn more words, so I can understand the passage more easily. Second, I listen a lot and talk with each other in my free time in order to improve my listening and speaking skills. Third, it is necessary to do a lot of reading, which can make me read faster. Last but not least, I make it a rule to keep a journal every day for the purpose of writing in English better. In a word, only by working hard can we improve our English.
That’s all. Thank you.
16.One possible version:
One afternoon, his host brother said excitedly, “Guess what We will have Lion’s Head and Ants Climbing Trees for dinner.” “What Lion’s head and ants ” Tony opened his eyes wide and couldn’t believe his ears. “How dare we eat a lion’s head and such small ants ” He thought it in confusion and felt a little terrified. His host brother looked at his expression on his face, just smiling as if he had seen through Tony’s mind. Then came the dinner time.Tony sat at table with his host family, waiting for the dishes to come. However, he saw neither a lion’s head nor ants until the last dish was served. Actually, Lion’s Head is meatballs, while Ants Climbing Trees is Sauteed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork. With a sense of relief, he told them what he had thought.
After hearing his words, they couldn’t help laughing and his host mother said, “These expressions are so interesting that often cause misunderstandings. Are there some words or phrases in English that will cause misunderstandings ” “Yeah, I think so.” Tony laughed, too, remembering some interesting English expressions, “Once I told my Chinese friend I had a frog in my throat, and she stared at me in disbelief, asking me how I could eat so big a frog.” “So what does that mean ” His host family members all felt confused, full of doubts. Tony smiled, saying “That just means a sore throat. Sometimes ‘wicked’ means ‘fantastic’ and ‘not bad’ means ‘good’. “Incredible! So every language has its uniqueness and should be respected. Let’s drink to the greatness of Chinese and English.” Tony’s host father stood up, raising his glass. All of them stood up and raised their glasses, enjoying the most wonderful moment.
