1．（2021·江苏省仪征中学高二期中）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。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favorite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together quickly and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbor’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced round the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished, but as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.

【答案】参考范文
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat !” Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben’s face became red, lowered his head and said a thank-you in a low voice. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand. “This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase.” She also added that she was moved by how much the boy cherished the family possessions. At these remarks, Ben felt much ashamed, and had to duck his head even lower. The mother then calmly encouraged Ben to reward himself more chocolates for any other merits he had displayed in this event.
Now with some chocolates in hand, a sense of guilt welled up inside the boy. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother and admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally. He then asked for punishment. “I’m sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolate.” Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn’t hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to return the chocolates. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolate in his hand, smiling. “Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear.”

Mrs. Janson was 75 years old and lived alone in Keevy Street which was a little far from the downtown. Her children all lived in other cities with their family and only came once in a while. These years, maybe with the pressure of life or just being busy, they visited their mother less. The old lady lived in the house with Sunny her dog. She didn’t have the Internet and of course no computer or cell phone. Besides a few conversations in warm days with some same old neighbors, her only connection with the outside world was the old small screened television and the Post, a local newspaper, which was still sent to her mail box regularly.
Out of most people’s expectations, the mail carrier was a young lady. Her name was Morris. She came to the street every day, only with few exceptions. Different from other mail carriers, she didn’t just throw the paper on the yard and cycle away. Most of the time, if she was not too busy, she would stop and came into Mrs Janson’s house to have a chat with her, playing with Sunny, who would be happy, running to the girl and licking her cheeks. In fact, every time Morris was expected to come, the dog would sit in front of the door, looking at the end of the street, obviously waiting for her cycling up. Mrs. Janson would quickly take out the cookies prepared early and make a cup of tea for the kind lady. Every time she came in, the house would be filled with laughter and happiness.
Last Christmas, Mrs. Janson gave Morris some handmade cream to keep her hands from getting so chapped due to delivering mail. The delivering girl thanked Mrs. Janson and put the cream on her hands immediately with great delight, Mrs. Janson was so happy that she could also help someone.

She then called loudly, “Mrs. Janson, Mrs. Janson!” But there was no answer.
Paragraph 2:
She went out to ask the neighbors for help. Four neighbors came together quickly with her to Mrs. Janson’s house. They knocked at the door even louder, but their efforts were in vain. Finally, they managed to break into the house, where they found Mrs Janson lying unconsciously on the ground of the bathroom, with Sunny running around. They quickly sent the old lady to the hospital. Fortunately, Mrs Janson came to herself hours later. After she learned what had happened, she hugged Morris and thanked her in tears.

3．（2022·江苏省苏州实验中学高二期中）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。
“Mom! I’m home!” John happily said and ran into the kitchen. His mom was making cookies near the window. Outside, a robin was singing. Pop-Pop, John’s grandpa, who lived with them after John’s grandma died, came shuffling through the door. Pop-Pop said, “When the robin sings, spring is here.” John’s mom added, “Tomorrow, John, let’s do the annual spring cleaning.”
The next day John and his mom cleaned the house. When looking at Pop-pop’s chair, John’s mom said, “That old chair has to go. We’ll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let’s take it to the roadside. Tomorrow the garbage truck will pick it up.” John agreed because the chair was worn. As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop came. He tried to stop John and his mom, saying he didn’t need a new one. Finally, John’s mom let go of the chair and said, “We’ll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.” Matt, John’s dad, was still at work.
With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair. “Pop-Pop, why not get rid of this old chair?” John asked when his mother left the room. “You all don’t understand, John,” Pop-Pop whispered. “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago. But when I sit there, I feel she’s near. And the night your father was born, I sat in this chair, too. I was so happy when they placed the tiny baby into my arms.” As Pop-Pop continued telling his connection with the chair, John understood this chair was more like a friend to him.
That night, however, when John and Pop-Pop were asleep, John’s parents carried the chair to the roadside. It was a starless night. Spring had moved away temporarily, and snow fell silently and covered Pop-Pop’s chair. The next morning, when John came downstairs, he saw Pop-Pop standing by the window and looking outside. John followed his sad look. Snow-covered, the chair stood out on the street.

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 PM, then I went to a nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed i
