押题实战演练
“Be sure to hang the decorations high,” said Polly, my stepmom. “Jake might mistake the colorful glass balls for his toys and try to bite them,” Jake was new to our family that Christmas. He was a beautiful brown-and-white dog. And, of course, he was loaded with the curiosity that made everything a toy.
Two weeks before Christmas, we brought out the boxes of decorations, many of which had been in Polly’s family for ages. Among them was a special box that held an entire gingerbread family (姜饼人). They were real cookies, hung with red ribbons (丝带) and made many years earlier.
Every now and then, I or one of my little sisters—Ruth and Sue—would pretend we were going to eat one, knowing that Polly would say, “You’ll break a tooth! They’re so old that they’re rock-hard.” We didn’t really want to eat them, but we enjoyed making fun of Polly.
Since we didn’t know how Jake would react to the decorations or the Christmas tree, we were careful to put the decorations up high. Jake sniffed (嗅) the tree a lot. Those first couple of days, Polly caught him starting to lift a leg on the tree twice. But he learned quickly and settled for sniffing from a distance.
The weekend before Christmas, Dad and Polly took us to watch the new holiday movie. Excited, we jumped into the car with bags of home-made popcorn, and off we went for a great evening.
A few hours later, we returned home, only to find…a terrible mess. It wasn’t the Christmas tree. In fact, we weren’t sure what it was. We stood just inside the door staring at the mess. As it turned out, it was Jake’s bed, which he’d destroyed. Left alone for the first time, he must have gotten bored, attacked it and left it for dead. We didn’t know that the bed was not the only victim.

参考答案：
1．Dear Jim,
How is it going? I’m writing to recommend a distinctive course to you — Chinese Kungfu.
This course is perfect for you. First, it is great for your overall health. Chinese Kungfu involves a lot of body movements, which can make you stronger and more flexible. It can also reduce your stress and keep you in a relaxed mood. What’s more, the course is interactive. During the training, you can get positive feedback and learn how to cooperate with others. I’m sure you can benefit a lot from it.
Are you ready to give it a go? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】
本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生向来自英因的交换生Jim发邮件推荐一门学校特色课程。
【详解】
1.词汇积累
推荐：recommend→suggest/advise
此外：besides → what’s more
包括：involve→include
合作：cooperate with→ deal with/get along well with
2.句式拓展
简单句变复合句
原句：During the training, you can get positive feedback and learn how to cooperate with others.
拓展句：When you are training, you can get positive feedback and learn how you can cooperate with others.
【点睛】
【高分句型1】Chinese Kungfu involves a lot of body movements, which can make you stronger and more flexible.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句）
【高分句型2】 I’m sure you can benefit a lot from it.（运用了省略that的宾语从句）
2．One possible version:
The next morning, we girls were playing in the living room when Ruth let out a sudden cry. “Hey, who broke Gingerbread Baby?” Ruth asked. That brought Polly to the living room fast. “Where? Show me!” Ruth pointed at the former baby cookie, which was now just a head, still tied to the tree by its red ribbon. “Here’s another broken one,” said Sue. It’s Gingerbread Grandpa. Or it was. Now it’s just his head and hat. That caused some inspection, and soon it was clear that all the gingerbread men were now just gingerbread heads.
“It wasn’t me,” I said, in case anybody thought I’d had a midnight snack of rock-hard decorations. Quickly, my sisters made denials of their own. Then we girls and Polly all looked at Jake. Until that moment, Jake had been sitting by Dad, looking happy as ever. Suddenly, his posture changed. Guilt spread over his face. With his head bowed a little, he tried not to meet Polly’s eyes, but it was clear what had happened. It was as if he were wearing a sign that said, “I killed an entire gingerbread family.”
【解析】
本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者家在圣诞节期间的有趣故事。刚刚来的家里的小狗Jake对一切都充满好奇，尽管在装饰圣诞树的时候，一家人把装饰品挂的很高，以防被Jake破坏，但是最后在一家人外出的时候，Jake还是毁掉许多圣诞装饰，甚至包括多年来作为装饰的姜饼饼干。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我们两个女孩在客厅里玩耍，Ruth突然叫了一声。”可知，第一段可描写Jake造成的其它破坏，特别是毁掉了姜饼装饰品。
②由第二段首句内容“‘不是我，’我说，以防有人以为我吃了一些坚硬的装饰品。”可知，第二段可描写作者和姐妹都否认是自己做的这些事情，最后真相大白，这些都是Jake毁掉的。
2.续写线索：发现姜饼装饰被破坏——一家人的反应——孩子们都否认是自己做的——真相大白——Jake的反应
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.导致：cause/lead to/result in
②.否认：make denials/deny
③.突然：suddenly/all at once/ abruptly
情绪类
①.快乐：happy/joyful/pleased/delighted
【点睛】
[高分句型1]. Ruth pointed at the former baby cookie, which was now just a head, still tied to the tree by its red ribbon.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句，过去分词作状语）
[高分句型2]. That caused some inspection, and soon it was clear that all the gingerbread men were now just gingerbread heads.（and连接并列句，that引导主语从句，it是形式主语）
