I was on the way to my friend’s house. She lives at the top of a high hill. Up the hill, my four-year-old daughter, Colette, refused to take another step, and as a mother, I had to carry her on my back. Unluckily, we were stuck halfway. The road to my friend’s house is so narrow that drivers, upon discovering it’s a dead end for a car, have to go back down the hill because there’s no place to turn around. That happened to me once, which was why I just walked here today. But we were still stuck. I saw a man approaching. “Do me a favor. My finger was cut. Please call 911,” the man said. With his left hand, he put his handkerchief (手帕) around his bloody right hand and held it up. “No phone,” I said, as if English were also my second language. “I have a phone,” he said, and lowered his chin toward his front pocket. I didn’t want to reach my hand there, but the blood did look real. In his pocket, I found a phone. I took it out. I was afraid that it was dangerous to stand there, so I stepped back out of arm’s reach, and then called 911. A woman operator answered, and after I gave her the address, I said, “I’m here with this guy, and he said he cut his finger.” “Is it bad?” the operator asked. “Yes. It’s bad.” I told her. The operator asked again, “Did he cut it off?” Now, there was a question I hadn’t thought of. “Did you cut it off?” I asked the man. He answered immediately, “Yes.” He breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made someone understand the situation. I told the operator, “Yes. He cut it off.” “Keep the finger,” she told me, “the ambulance will be there in a minute!” Finally, the ambulance picked up the man and we struggled to reach my friend’s house. 【1】What trouble did the author meet with on the way to her friend’s house? A.She was stuck halfway. B.Her friend refused to see her. C.Her daughter was too tired to drive. D.Her daughter insisted on going back. 【2】Why did the author give up driving for the visit? A.There was no road on the hill. B.Her car was broken on the hill. C.The road was not fit for driving.

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。 Every evening Sylvie left her grandmother’s house to bring her cow home. The old animal spent her days in the open country eating grass. It was Sylvie’s job to bring her home to be milked. This evening, as usual, the child hurried the cow through the dark forest, following a narrow path that led to her grandmother’s home. She came across a young man in front of the house. “Hello, little girl,” he said. “I’ve been looking for birds, but I’ve lost my way.” The young man explained he was a scientist, who searched for birds. “Do you put them in a cage (鸟笼)?” Sylvie asked. “No,” he answered, “I kill them and keep them for my study.” “I saw a white heron (苍鹭) not far from here yesterday. Have you seen it, too?” he asked Sylvie. Sylvie’s heart began to beat fast. She had seen that white bird on the other side of the forest. The young man continued. “I will give $ 10 to you if you show me where it is.” Sylvie thought happily she would get the $10 for her grandmother. Then she went to climb to the top of a tall tree. The higher Sylvie climbed, the taller the tree seemed to grow. Suddenly, a bird with broad white wings and a long neck flew past Sylvie. The white heron sat on the nest in a nearby tree. She found the heron’s secret home. Sylvie slowly began her dangerous trip down the tall tree. She didn’t dare to look down and tried to forget that her fingers hurt and her feet were bleeding. All Sylvie wanted to think about was what the stranger would give to her when she told him where to find the heron’s nest. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为60左右； 2. 至少使用4个短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分为一段,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。 When Sylvie returned, both her grandmother and the young man stood up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
