【2023·浙江省宁波市高三下学期二模】When I adopted him, he had been rescued from death inside a tightly tied black trash bag abandoned right beside a garbage truck on the road. An alert garbage man noticed the bag moving and used a metal rake(耙子) to tear open the bag to look inside. There was my shaking puppy dog. The rake damaged the nerves in his back so he limped a little but he could run as fast as lightning.For my dog’s first birthday, I entered him in a fun run sponsored by our local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(SPCA). I’m not much of a runner, but the run was only 3 kilometers, so I thought it would be fun for both of us.We practiced for weeks. On our practice runs he was always eager to go and usually dragged me along behind him. I worked on his leash(拴狗链) manners so that he wouldn’t trip me on the big day. I felt we were ready for anything.The fun run was downtown among the big buildings, so the noise of barking dogs all around us rose to a deafening pitch at the start of the race. My dog was frightened when the starting tone went off. He had trouble running in the right direction with all the confusion around us. Soon the runners began to thin out, and my dog was running straight and fast. We were passing people and making great time. I was dreaming of a goldmedal finish.However, when we were six blocks from the finish my dog suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I almost dislocated my shoulder from the sudden stop as I was pulled backward by the leash.He was lying flat on his belly with his head down in the middle of the crossroads. At first I thought something bad had happened to him. He was shaking and sobbing. I did a quick check and couldn’t see anything wrong. I tried to get him up, but he refused. The police officer doing traffic control impatiently signed me to move away so he could release the cars.续写词数应为150左右;But I couldn’t get my seventyfivepound dog to get up._______________________________________________________________________________ Another halfblock of carrying him brought the answer – a moving garbage truck.______________________________________________________________________________ 5R解读故事:①Read for the backgroundduring the dog’s first birthday(when); in a downtown(where)②Read for the charactersI, my dog(who)③Read for the emotional changesfrightened>happy(not mentally)>frightened again④Read for the plotBeginning:I adopted a dog and saved it physicallyDevelopment: prepared for a fun runClimax: the dog stopped running unhappily and unknowinglyResolution: understood why the dog stopped;healed its heartEnding: the dog ran again and became happy⑤Read for the theme(人与自然): protect animalsBut I couldn’t get my seventyfivepound dog to get up. Confused and embarrassed, I stood rooted to the spot, my palms sweating and heart pounding. Worse still, my dog still froze to the ground with drooping eyelids and ears, showing no sign of moving. So overwhelmed was I that I didn’t know what to do. Hopefully, passing runners realized my poor situation and came to offer their hands to me. Then they continued to run as fast as lighting, leaving us at a loss. Carrying the dog on my shoulder, I inched towards the finish line with difficulties, not knowing why he suddenly gave up running without any sign.Another halfblock of carrying him brought the answer – a moving garbage truck. My dog began to shake and sob again with severe panic welling up in his eyes. It suddenly dawned upon me that the garbage truck reminded him of his unfortunate fate. I enveloped him in tight embraces, touching his head gently and whispering softly, “My baby, I am always on your side, today and always.” He gradually calmed down as if understanding my words. That day, we didn’t got the gold medal, but he would never be tied with a black trash bag and I won his unwavering trust. May my love devour his previous sufferings, warming his renewed life and inner heart.解读But I couldn’t get my seventyfivepound dog to get up. Confused and embarrassed, I stood rooted to the spot, my palms sweating and heart pounding.(我的response:我当时的窘境)Worse still, my dog still froze to the ground with drooping eyelids and ears, showing no sign of moving.(小狗的action:仍然趴在地上)So overwhelmed was I that I didn’t know what to do.(我的response:不知所措)Hopefully, passing runners realized my poor situation and came to offer their hands to me. (passing runners 对应上文,他们前来帮助我解困)Then they continued to run as fast as lighting, leaving us at a loss.(lighting对应上文;其他选手快速跑步,而我们呆呆站在原地,形成对比)Carrying the dog on my shoulder, I inched towards the finish line with difficulties, not knowing why he suddenly gave up running without any sign.(缓慢移动对应小狗的重量之重;我的疑惑对应下一段开头——我突然知道他这样的原因)Another halfblock of carrying him brought the answer – a moving garbage truck.

(升华:人与自然,关爱动物)官方参考范文But I couldn’t get my seventyfivepound dog to get up. The harder I tried to scoop him up from the pavement, the more he fought me. The officer yelling and cars honking. I pulled him with all my might, but in vain. Finally, I got my arm under him and lifted him up in a fireman's carry, throwing him over my shoulder. As I staggered to the roadside, people around were taking my dog's side, laughing I was running him too hard. I was fuming. My dog would run all day long and he wasn't the least bit tired.Another halfblock of carrying him brought the answer – a moving garbage truck. Its sound must have hit my dog sensitive ears, so he cried louder and clawed at my back as we drew closer to it. I held on tighter and ran as fast as I could to get my sweet baby dog away from that scary garbage truck. Iran with him on my shoulder until I felt him relaxed, and then I set him down. He wagged his tail in gratitude for saving him from the garbage truck. Surely, we didn't win any medals, but I won his trust forever.。

AThe park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement,“Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣)all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leaver So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.I heard my voice quiver (轻微额抖),and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said,“You’re welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that5s mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.21. When she sat down to read on the bench, the author ---------------- —•A. felt relaxed and peacefulB. felt upset and unhappy with her lifeC. wanted to have a friend keeping her companyD. felt proud to have overcome the difficulties in life22.

Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call <4teacher burnout.” a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.A recent study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness (专注力)training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping 4t a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs.”28.
