Weald & Downland Living Museum
Fun fact
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area have been dismantled (拆除) and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past —complete with the homes, farms and public buildings. There’s a sense of exploring a real village as you wander between them along green paths, stopping to climb the stairs of a 17th-century craftsman’s (工匠) cottage to lie on the straw bed or sheltering from a shower in a smoky, 14th-century hall.
Getting there
The Stagecoach 60 bus service from Chichester to Midhurst stops just five minutes away at Grooms Yard, Singleton. The nearest railway stations are Chichester (2 miles) and Haslemere (7 miles). The museum is on Town Lane in Singleton, reached via the A286 from Chichester to Midhurst. Parking is free and there are disabled parking spaces opposite the museum shop.
Value for money?
Yes. It’s not cheap but it’s a special experience that easily fills a day. Plus, it’s a valuable cause worth supporting. Adults £14, children 5-17 and students £6.50, under-4s free, family £38 (two adults and two children) or £25 (one adult and three children).

On a hot summer afternoon along the Mandavi River, Shweta Hule wraps her sari around her ankles and bends to pick wild “weeds” from the river and drop them into a bowl. The plants will be made into fritters (炸果餅), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.
Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蝕) and absorb storm damage.
Hule is head of Swamini, a self-help group set up by nine women from a fishing community in Vengurla who started Mandavi Eco Tourism in 2017. Vengurla is known for its beautiful beaches and seafood, but the climate crisis has made fishing for a living unsustainable, so people are trying to find other sources of income. They came up with the idea of running mangrove safaris (觀光游) for tourists in Vengurla’s Mandavi River.
The safaris offer visitors a unique hour-long tour of the mangroves. Food has also become a key attraction: local spicy coconut curries, with homegrown or wild vegetables. Tourists are encouraged to go crabbing, and their catch is cooked and served.
Hule only discovered recently that the weed was edible when she met tourists from another coastal city. She researched these leaves and learned that the salty plant is rich in vitamins. She made her own version of the fritters, with chickpea flour, and presented it at the wild vegetable festival. “It was an instant hit. This boosted the confidence to include these fritters in our restaurant menu,” says Hule.
Swamini’s lodging house also serves vegetarian meals and plates of fish and crab sourced from the river. “The satisfaction after the visitors enjoy our meal is the real currency. We had guests from London who were so happy with our food that they took down the recipe. Such people help our business grow. What more can we want?” says Hule.
4.Which of the following can best describe the example of Shweta Hule?
A.Do as the Romans do.
B.Strike while the iron is hot.
C.Kill two birds with one stone.
D.Bite off more than you can chew.

D.Hands-on cooking classes.
6.Why were Hule’s fritters well-received?
A.They were less expensive.
B.They were traditional.
C.They had their own features.
D.They got strongly promoted.
7.How did Hule feel about tourists’ obtaining her food recipe?
A.Lost. B.Proud. C.Worried. D.Curious.
When she first came to Britain as a refugee (難民) from Nigeria six years ago, Kemi had a three-month-old daughter, a room in a shared house and £5.39 to survive on each day. Finding money for new clothes was out of the question.
After four years, Kemi was granted (給與) refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. “And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.”
The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn’t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had surplus (剩余) clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn’t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. “So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.”
Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront. It is aiming for much more, however. Having reached the very limit of donations and requests it could handle through Instagram, the enterprise has just launched a new digital platform that will allow it to hugely upscale.
Like the hugely successful clothing resale app, clothes are photographed and uploaded to Give Your Best, where customers select those they like and donors then post the item. Crucially, however, no money changes hands.
As well as giving choice to its users and minimising fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (親密的) connections established between donor and shopper. Many donors choose to include a supportive note and a small gift — hugely welcomed by recipients (接受者), but also a reminder that “on the other side of your package, there’s a woman who is your size and has your fashion sense, because she’s shopping from your wardrobe (衣櫥)”.
8.What’s the purpose of the enterprise?
A.To offer job training to refugees.
B.To provide childcare for refugees.
C.To give refugees dignity of choice.
D.To strengthen refugees’ social position.
9.What does paragraph 3 focus on?
A.How the enterprise survived.
B.How the enterprise advertised.
C.How the enterprise was named.
D.How the enterprise was initiated.
10.What do we learn about the enterprise from the text?
A.It is warmly received.
B.It is difficult to operate.
C.It makes huge profits.
D.It needs to be more creative.
11.What does the enterprise bring to its donors and recipients?
A.Enjoyable shopping experience.
B.A sense of social responsibility.
C.Close interpersonal relationship.
D.A good insight into fashion trend.
Honeybees fly much longer distances in the summer than in the spring and autumn to find good sources of food, a new study has found.
Researchers at Sussex University spent two years decoding the “waggle (搖擺) dance” of honeybees, a form of communication by which the bees tell their nestmates where to go to get the best source of food to bring back to the hive (蜂箱).
By measuring the angle of the dance in relation to the sun and the length of time the bee waggled its body while moving in a figure of eight pattern, researchers have been able to map the distance and location where bees forage (覓食) from month to month.
With a one second waggle equal to a foraging distance of 750 metres, the bees dance language revealed that the area they covered in search of food is about 22 times greater in the summer (July and August) than in spring (March) and six times greater in summer than in the autumn (October). In the summer the area they cover is 15.2km sq, compared to 0.8km in spring and 5.1km in the autumn.
Honeybees will not waste valuable time and energy travelling to find food if they don’t need to, so the researchers say the results show that the summer is the most challenging season for bees to collect the nectar and pollen from flowers.
“There is a large quantity of flowers in the spring and autumn, but it is harder for them to locate good blocks of flowers in the summer because agricultural intensification means there are fewer wildflowers in the countryside for bees,” said Frances Ratnieks, author of the study.
The researchers say the results can be used to focus efforts to help bees better. “The bees are telling us where they are foraging so we can now understand how best to help them by planting more flowers for them in the summer,” said Ratnieks.
12.What is the recent research mainly about?
A.Sources of honeybee food.
B.The honeybee dance language.
C.Honeybees’ eating behaviour.
D.Relationship between honeybees.
13.What makes summer the most challenging season for bees to find food?
A.The high wind.
B.The strong heat.
C.Lengthening days.
D.Shortage of flowers.
14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research finding?
A.Its appeal to the public.
B.Its practical application.
C.Expectations for future studies.
D.Scientists with new perspectives.
15.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Honeybees are really highly intelligent
B.Scientists decode honeybee “waggle dance”
C.Lack of food sources puts honeybees at risk
D.Why summers are bad news for honeybees

六、讀后續(xù)寫
47.閱讀下面材料,根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I had stopped at the Swindon services (服務區(qū)) while on my way back to London. As I drove up the slip road, I spotted a man with a backpack and his thumb (拇指) out. I pulled over and lowered the window.
“Which way are you heading?” I asked. “I’m going back to London.”
“Ah, that would be grand,”came his immediate reply. He opened the door and lifted his backpack on to the back seat. “I’m Brendan,” he said with an easy smile and a rich Irish (愛爾蘭) tongue. “I was getting a bit desperate. I’ve had my thumb out for a day and half. Nobody seems to stop these days.”
“I haven’t eaten in days,” said Brendan. “I’m trying to get home.”
I’ve always enjoyed picking up hitchhikers. I used to be a motoring journalist and crossed the country in various test cars. Picking up a hiker always made me feel a little less guilty about all the miles I was doing.
As we headed east along the motorway, Brendan told me how he came to be waiting for a lift on that particular evening, and also about the two recent family tragedies (悲劇) that had ruined him and pushed him out of his old life and on to the road.
Brendan told me that he was 52. He laughed a lot and enjoyed his off-grid (不入網的) lifestyle. Until last week, that is, when he’d been mugged (搶劫).
“Three young men in Birmingham took my other pack and it had all my money in it. I’ve been sleeping out since then. I haven’t eaten in days. I’m hoping to get some casual work in London, so I can then get myself home to Ireland.”
It must have been the concept of home that got me, and helping a man who’d clearly had a tough time seemed like the right thing to do.
注意:
1.續(xù)寫詞數應為150左右;
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。

The plants will be made into fritters (炸果餅), to be served at the little restaurant attached to the B&B Hule manages in the Indian coastal town of Vengurla.(彎腰從河里揀起野生的“雜草”,扔進一個碗里。這些植物將被制成炸果餅,供應給在胡勒在印度沿海城鎮(zhèn)文古拉經營的民旅館附屬小餐館)”和第二段“Wild edible (可食用的) plants are common in kitchens here. Hule’s weed is juicy, which is found in mangrove forests. Harvesting some of the plant is helping conserve the mangroves, a globally endangered ecosystem of salt-tolerant trees that stop coastal erosion (侵蝕) and absorb storm damage.(野生可食用植物在這里的廚房里很常見。Hule的雜草多汁,這種草生長在紅樹林中。收割一些這種植物有助于保護紅樹林,這是一種全球瀕危的耐鹽樹木生態(tài)系統(tǒng),可以阻止海岸侵蝕并吸收風暴破壞)”可知,這些雜草可以被制成食物,而且除掉它們有助于保護紅樹林,由此推知,Shweta Hule的例子可以說是一舉兩得。故選C。

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了Sol Escobar創(chuàng)立的企業(yè)Give Your Best為難民提供免費的衣服,并在捐贈者和難民之間建立了親密的人際關系。
8.推理判斷題。根第二段“After four years, Kemi was granted (給與) refugee status and secured her first job interview — unsurprisingly, she had nothing to wear. However, she was referred to a small social enterprise called Give Your Best, which asked her her size and what kind of clothes she liked. ‘And they gave me three beautiful shirts. Those clothes were like gold to me. They asked me what I actually wanted. That makes you feel valued.’(四年后,Kemi獲得了難民身份,并獲得了她的第一次工作面試——不出所料,她沒有衣服穿。但是,她被介紹到一家名為Give Your Best的小型社會企業(yè),該企業(yè)詢問她的尺碼和喜歡什么樣的衣服?!八麄兘o了我三件漂亮的襯衫。那些衣服對我來說就像金子一樣珍貴。他們問我到底想要什么。這會讓你覺得自己受到重視。”)”可知,Give Your Best讓像Kemi一樣的難民可以根據自己的尺碼和喜好選擇衣服,這種做法給予了難民以選擇的尊嚴。故選C項。
9.主旨大意題。根據第三段“The initiative was launched by Sol Escobar, who had spent several years volunteering at refugee camps in northern France. A friend put her in contact with a household of refugee women who couldn’t access any clothing. Escobar realised she had surplus (剩余) clothes she could donate, and appealed to her friends and networks for help. She was flooded with offers, but didn’t want to overload the women with potentially improper clothing. ‘So I thought, if I take photos of all of these items and put them on an Instagram page, they can all choose the things that they actually want.’(這項倡議是由索爾·埃斯科瓦爾發(fā)起的,他曾在法國北部的難民營做過幾年志愿者。一個朋友幫她聯(lián)系了一戶沒有衣服穿的難民婦女。埃斯科巴意識到她有多余的衣服可以捐贈,于是她向朋友和網絡尋求幫助。她收到了大量的捐贈,但她不想因為可能不合適的服裝而讓這些女性負擔過重。“所以我想,如果我把所有這些東西都拍下來,放到Instagram主頁上,他們就可以選擇自己真正想要的東西了?!?”可推知,本段主要講是的企業(yè)Give Your Best是如何創(chuàng)立的。故選D項。
10.推理判斷題。根據第四段中“Eighteen months later, Give Your Best has processed almost 11,000 items of clothing, and has more than 800 refugee women approved to “shop” for free on its virtual shopfront.(8個月后,Give Your Best已經處理了近1.1萬件衣服,并有800多名難民婦女獲準在其虛擬店面免費“購物”)”可推知,企業(yè)Give Your Best深受歡迎。故選A項。
11.細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中“As well as giving choice to its users and minimising fashion waste, Escobar says one consequence has been the small but intimate (親密的) connections established between donor and shopper.(埃斯科瓦爾說,除了為用戶提供選擇并最大限度地減少時尚浪費之外,另一個結果是在捐贈者和購物者之間建立了微小但親密的聯(lián)系)”可知,企業(yè)Give Your Best讓捐贈者和接受者建立了親密的人際關系。故選C項。
12.B????13.D????14.B????15.B
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹蘇塞克斯大學的研究人員解碼了蜜蜂的“搖擺舞”,發(fā)現為了尋找好的食物來源,蜜蜂夏季飛行的距離要比春季和秋季遠得多。研究進一步揭示了其原因并介紹了這發(fā)現的現實意義。
12.細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段“Researchers at Sussex University spent two years decoding the “waggle (搖擺) dance” of honeybees, a form of communication by which the bees tell their nestmates where to go to get the best source of food to bring back to the hive (蜂箱). (蘇塞克斯大學的研究人員花了兩年時間解碼蜜蜂的“搖擺舞”?!皳u擺舞”是蜜蜂告訴巢友去哪里獲得最好的食物并帶回蜂巢的一種交流形式)”和第三段中“By measuring the angle of the dance in relation to the sun and the length of time the bee waggled its body while moving in a figure of eight pattern, researchers have been able to map the distance and location where bees forage (覓食) from month to month. (通過測量蜜蜂舞蹈的角度與太陽的關系,以及蜜蜂以八字形移動時擺動身體的時間長度,研究人員已經能夠繪制出蜜蜂每月覓食的距離和位置)”可推知,最近的這項研究是為了解碼蜜蜂的舞蹈語言。故選B項。
13.細節(jié)理解題。根據第六段中“There is a large quantity of flowers in the spring and autumn, but it is harder for them to locate good blocks of flowers in the summer because agricultural intensification means there are fewer wildflowers in the countryside for bees (春天和秋天有大量的花,但在夏天,蜜蜂很難找到好的花塊,因為農業(yè)集約化意味著農村的野花對蜜蜂來說越來越少)”可知,夏天鮮花的短缺讓它成為蜜蜂覓食最具挑戰(zhàn)性的季節(jié)。故選D項。
14.細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中“The researchers say the results can be used to focus efforts to help bees better. ‘The bees are telling us where they are foraging so we can now understand how best to help them by planting more flowers for them in the summer,’ said Ratnieks. (研究人員表示,研究結果可以用來集中精力更好地幫助蜜蜂。瑞特尼克斯說:“蜜蜂告訴我們它們在哪里覓食,所以我們現在可以了解如何在夏天為它們種植更多的花來最好地幫助它們?!?”可推知,最后一段主要介紹了這一研究發(fā)現的實際應用:可以讓我們更好地幫助蜜蜂。故選B項。
15.主旨大意題。通讀全文,并結合第一段“Honeybees fly much longer distances in the summer than in the spring and autumn to find good sources of food, a new study has found. (一項新的研究發(fā)現,蜜蜂為了尋找好的食物來源,夏季飛行的距離要比春季和秋季遠得多)”、第二段中“Researchers at Sussex University spent two years decoding the “waggle (搖擺) dance” of honeybees, a form of communication by which the bees tell their nestmates where to go to get the best source of food to bring back to the hive (蜂箱). (蘇塞克斯大學的研究人員花了兩年時間解碼蜜蜂的“搖擺舞”。“搖擺舞”是蜜蜂告訴巢友去哪里獲得最好的食物并帶回蜂巢的一種交流形式)”和下文內容可知,本文主要介紹蘇塞克斯大學的研究人員解碼了蜜蜂的“搖擺舞”,發(fā)現為了尋找好的食物來源,蜜蜂夏季飛行的距離要比春季和秋季遠得多。研究進一步揭示了其原因并介紹了這發(fā)現的現實意義。在這項研究中“解碼蜜蜂的‘搖擺舞’”是關鍵。所以“Scientists decode honeybee ‘waggle dance’”是文章最佳標題。故選B項。
16.D????17.F????18.A????19.E????20.G
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了如何學會有意識地生活。
16.根據上文“Conscious (有意識的) living is not just a trend.(有意識的生活不僅僅是一種時尚)”中“not just”可知,有意識的生活不僅僅是一種時尚,因此下文會更一進定義有意識的生活,D“It is a healthy choice that enables you to be happy.(它是一種健康的選擇,能讓你快樂)”提出有意識的生活還能帶來快樂,與上文構成遞進關系,句中代詞it指代上文中“Conscious (有意識的) living”。故選D項。
17.上文“Time is the most precious thing because there is no way to live a moment again.(時間是最寶貴的東西,因為沒有辦法讓一個瞬間重來)”分析了時間寶貴的原因,F項“The way you spend your time determines the course of your life.(你如何利用時間,決定了你的人生軌跡)”承接上文,說明利用時間對人生的重意義,照應本段主題“Be conscious about your time.(要意識到你的時間)”,上下文語意連貫一致。故選F項。
18.設空處是本段標題,根據下文“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions. It is easier said than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.(除非你了解自己的需求和意圖,否則你無法實現這些目標。這說起來容易做起來難,因為大多數人都沒有努力去了解自己?;c時間思考并了解自己的優(yōu)點和缺點。一旦你更了解自己,你就可以制定一個計劃,讓自己變得更有耐心、誠實和寬容)”可知,本段主要講要去了解自己,所以A項“Know yourself better.(更好地了解自己)”是最佳標題。故選A項。
19.上文“Writing a gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings. (寫感恩日記是一個計算你所擁有的幸福的良好開端)”提出用寫日記的方式來學會感恩,E項“Pick it as a daily habit, and you will notice the difference.(把它作為一種日常習慣,你會發(fā)現其中的不同)”承接上文,建議讓寫感恩日記變成一種習慣,上下文語意連貫;句中it指代上文中“Writing a gratitude journal”。故選E項。
20.根據小標題“Believe in yourself.(相信自己)”可知,本段主要講相信自己,即建立自信,G項“The best way to build self-belief is by reflecting on your own thoughts.(建立自信的最好方法是反思自己的想法)”提出方法,上下語意連貫。故選G項。
21.B????22.A????23.C????24.D????25.B????26.C????27.A????28.B????29.C????30.C????31.B????32.A????33.B????34.D????35.D

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了靖西太平鼓。
36.考查動詞時態(tài)語態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:它展現了深厚的文化元素,于2006年被列入中國第一批國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。分析句子可知,include(把……列為一部分)是句中謂語動詞,與主語it之間是被動關系,結合時間狀語in 2006可知,講述過去的事情,應使用一般過去時態(tài),又因主語是第三人稱單數代詞,所以謂語動詞也應使用單數形式。綜上,謂語應用一般過去時的被動語態(tài),單數形式。故填was included。
37.考查形容詞最高級。句意:這種藝術最早的歷史記載可以追溯到春秋時期。句中表示“最早的歷史記載”,結合空格前定冠詞the可知,應用形容詞最高級形式earliest作定語,修飾名詞historical references。故填earliest。
38.考查名詞。句意:清初,它開始在京城內外流行,后來傳入北京門頭溝區(qū)。分析句子可知,提示詞和賓語,應用名詞形式popularity,意為“流行,普及”,抽象名詞不可數。故填popularity。
39.考查介詞。句意:在古代,人們在除夕之夜在皇宮里敲鼓,以帶來和平。New Year’s Eve是“除夕”,是在具體的某一天前用介詞on。故填on。
40.考查非謂語動詞。句意:這種類型的鼓舞通常在農歷年的最后一個月和第一個月在許多地方節(jié)日活動中表演,從而表達人們對和平和繁榮的一年的期盼。分析句子可知,“(perform) during the last and first month of the lunar year in many local festive activities”作主語補足語,perform是非謂語動詞,與其邏輯主語This type of drum dance之間是被動關系,用過去分詞表被動。故填performed。
41.考查名詞所有格。句意:這種類型的鼓舞通常在農歷年的最后一個月和第一個月在許多地方節(jié)日活動中表演,從而表達人們對和平和繁榮的一年的期盼。根據句意,提示詞與名詞hope之間是所屬關系,表示“人們的期盼”,應用名詞所有格people’s作定語。故填people’s。
42.考查狀語從句的省略。句意:在一場表演中,鼓手們左手拿鼓,右手拿木槌,表演各種舞蹈動作。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等連詞連接的狀語從句中,常省略跟主句相同的主語和be動詞。結合句意,分析子可知,“while (hold) the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”是時間狀語從句,原句為“while they are holding the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands.”,符合狀語從句省略條件,省略they are后,應保留現在分詞holding。故填holding。
43.考查定語從句。句意:鼓樂體現了中國傳統(tǒng)的審美觀念,具有鮮明的地方特色。分析句子可知,空格處為非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞the drum playing,關系詞代替先行詞在定語從句中作介詞of的賓語,應使用關系代詞which引導該從句。故填which。
44.考查動詞時態(tài)語態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:在過去的幾十年里,門頭溝區(qū)一直在努力保護這一標志性的民間舞蹈文化。分析句子可知,make是句中謂語動詞,與主語efforts之間是被動關系,結合時間狀語In the past decades可知,應使用現在完成時態(tài),又因主語是復數名詞,所以謂語動詞也應使用復數形式。綜上,謂語應用現在完成時的被動語態(tài),復數形式。故填have been made。
45.考查連詞。句意:今天,靖西太平鼓這一歷史悠久的民間藝術正在被年輕人所接受,并在世界舞臺上展示著其生動的藝術魅力。結合句意分析句子,“is being taken up...”和“is presenting ...”是并列謂語動詞,用連詞and連接。故填and。

47.One possible version:
As we were approaching the Heathrow turn-off, I had an idea. “Why don’t I just drop you at the airport now?” I said. “I’ll buy you a ticket and you can fly home.” “That’s so kind of you,” he replied. Then, after a pause, “And please don’t worry. I’ll definitely wire you the money when I get home.” I pulled onto the airport avenue and soon dropped him off outside the terminal building. I went to a cash point, got out 10 shiny new 20 notes and handed them over. He took the money and thanked me again and again.
Before he left to buy his air ticket, he gave me a huge hug. He took my phone number and said he’d call as soon as he could to arrange the transfer. I bid farewell to him without any real idea whether I’d ever see the man or the money again. As I drove the final miles to my own house in London, I felt happier thinking about Brendan. He asked for help, for a lift to get home, and in good faith I gave them to him. That’s got to be a good thing.
【導語】文章以人物為線索展開,講述作者在回倫敦的路上遇到一個中年人示意要搭便車,作者讓他上了車。在和此人聊天的過程中了解到他的生活不易,更糟糕的是,他在上周還被三個年輕人搶劫了。他已經好幾天沒吃東西,希望可以在倫敦找份工作,掙些回愛爾蘭的路費。聽了男人的故事,作者決定幫助他。
【詳解】1.段落續(xù)寫:
①根據第一段首句“當我們快到希思羅機場的岔路口時,我有了一個主意?!笨芍?,下文可描寫作者的主意是什么——送男人去機場并給他買回家的機票,以及男人的反應。
②根據第二段首句“在他去買機票之前,他給了我一個大大的擁抱?!笨芍?,下文可描寫男人留下聯(lián)系方式承諾還錢。但作者當時并不在乎會不會收到錢,因為幫助了一個需要幫助的人,作者非常感到非??鞓?,這是比金錢更難得的。
2.續(xù)寫線索:
想到一個主意——把想法告訴男人——男人感激并承諾還錢——到達機場給錢買票——男人感激——作者的反應——感悟
