Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　Drinking coffee as soon as one wakes up from a night’s sleep greatly affects metabolism and blood sugar responses.Scientists published this in the British Journal of Nutrition.
　　In the study， the UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments.In the first two scenes， participants were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal night’s sleep， and then again after a greatly disturbed night’s sleep.In the third， their sleep was similar， but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before having the sugary drink.
　　Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drinking each experiment.Results showed that one night of disturbed sleep did not worsen the participants’ blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep.However， strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 per cent.
　　By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast， UK researchers found that our bodies’ ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved.Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee through a range of different metabolic markers， researchers found that， while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism， drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.
　　“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and， before doing anything else， drink coffee — the more tired we feel， the stronger the coffee is.This study is important and has far-reaching health influences， and it indeed shakes some coffee drinkers.Up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies， in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control， so we have a long way to go，” said Professor James Bette， co-director of the Centre for Nutrition at the University of Bath.
1.How did the UK researchers get the result of the experiment？
A.By theoretical analysis.
B.By comparative experiments.
C.By doing questionnaires.
D.By consulting journals.
2.What can we learn from the experiment？
A.A poor night sleep surely affects blood sugar responses.
B.Drinking coffee after breakfast does much harm to health.
C.Having strong drinks has a good effect on one’s metabolism.
D.Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health.
3.What does James Bette think of the study？
A.It makes no sense.
B.It is limited and blind.
C.It remains to be continued.
D.It is particular and precise.
4.What is the text mainly about？
A.Harms of drinking coffee before breakfast.
B.What weakens one’s blood sugar responses.
C.How much coffee one should drink a day.
D.The effective procedure for blood sugar control.

　　Mum filled our house with beautiful furnishings （家具）， one of which was a pair of crystal （水晶） table lamps. One of my chores was to clean the lamps. I didn’t mind because when they were cleaned， rainbows covered the highly cleaned wood floor when the sun shone through them.
　　I asked her how much they cost. “Don’t you worry about it，” she replied.“Just know that they are expensive and can never be replaced.”
　　Each sat on its own lamp table in the aisle （走廊） between the living room and the kitchen. It was unavoidable that the combination of my five-year-old brother Stephen and those lamps would lead to a tragedy （悲?。? They were a challenge to him. He had to prove he could pass dangerously close without knocking them off their tables.
　　I knew I’d be held responsible if Stephen harmed those lamps， so I tried to stop him from getting me into trouble. On one occasion when he was trying to prove to me how skilled he was， Stephen’s luck finally ran out.
　　Trying to explain to Mum that I hadn’t broken one of the lamps and that I’d tried to get Stephen to stop was useless. I had no idea how much it cost， but decided to save my birthday money to replace the lamp.
　　One day， Mum and I went shopping at Newberry’s. To my surprise， there was the precious lamp high on a shelf， only priced at twenty-five dollars！ I had more than enough to afford it！ I told Mum that I was going to buy it， but she said， “No.” At my request， she told me， “The lamp isn’t irreplaceable because it was the only lamp in existence. My mother gave those lamps to me as a wedding gift. She used to clean floors for a living and it took everything she earned and so much love for her to buy them for me. Nothing replaces the love she has for me， nor the love I have from you wanting to spend all the money you have to buy me the same lamp.”
5.Why was the author willing to clean the lamps？
A.The lamps were her mother’s favourite furnishings.
B.The sunlight shining through the lamps pleased her.
C.The cleaned lamps reminded her of her grandmother.
D.The lamps were the most expensive furnishings in her house.
6.What tragedy happened one day？
A.One of the lamps was broken by Stephen.
B.The author lost all the money for the new lamp.
C.The author knocked a lamp off when doing housework.
D.Stephen hurt himself when picking up the broken lamps.
7.Why did the author’s mother prevent her from buying the lamp at Newberry’s？
A.It had less artistic value.
B.It lacked special meaning.
C.It was priced much too high.
D.It had totally gone out of fashion.
8.What might the author learn from her mother’s words？
A.Love cannot live where there is no trust.
B.A lamp lights others and consumes itself.
C.Lamps are replaceable but love is priceless.
D.If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well.

　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　“Flashlight， water， sandwiches and spare clothes，” Harry’s mum called out. “Everything’s there，” Harry smiled as he tapped his backpack.
　　“Stay safe and take care of your friends too，” Harry’s mum called after him as he left the house.
　　“Yes， I will. Don’t worry，” Harry said.
　　Harry and his friends met at the port by the sea， with boats lined up in front of them. Excited， all four of them settled themselves down， and Tom and Lucy started up the engine. They were going to make the most out of their vacation.
　　The boat set off. Harry handed out sandwiches to everyone while they waited to see the island they planned their trip to. An hour went by when a distant piece of land appeared in front of them. Tom announced that they were very near their destination.
　　Not long after， they hit land. The island was pretty. Flowers in different shapes and sizes bloomed （開花）， tall trees with fruits lined up， birds sang and butterflies flew past them.
　　Lucy took in a breath of air and said，“So beautiful！”
　　As they walked across the island， it started to get hot. The sun had already reached the top of their heads. They came across a small river and settled down beside it. Tom splashed （潑灑） water on his face. It was very cool.
　　“What is that？” Harry shouted in surprise， pointing in a direction in front of them. The others looked around to see what he had noticed.
　　“Doesn’t it look like a cave？” Jane said， her eyes shining bright.
　　Always ready for new adventures， they quickly ran over to the cave’s opening. The cave looked large， its opening wide enough to fit five people at once. But it looked like no one had been to it in ages.
　　“Do we have to go inside？” Tom asked. “What if there’s something scary in it？”
　　“Don’t be a mood spoiler （破壞者）， Tom，” Jane pushed him to go inside. All of them walked after Harry.
　　The cave was larger than they thought at first. Harry pulled out the flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. A winding passage led out from one corner of the cave.
　　“Let’s see how far it goes，” Harry said.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
　　They stepped into the passage one after the other.
Suddenly， Jane cried out as she stood holding her toe.

　　They stepped into the passage one after the other.They silently walked along the passage， sometimes whispering to each other. All of a sudden， Harry stopped walking. They bumped into each other after him. Lucy asked Harry what was wrong from the end of the line. Harry answered disappointedly that the cave had just suddenly ended， and that he thought they could at least have found some ancient treasure. Tom laughed at him and suggested going back. Then they turned around and walked back.
　　Suddenly， Jane cried out as she stood holding her toe.All of them rushed over to check if she was fine. Lucy flashed the light in the direction of her foot. Jane’s toe looked okay. But what caught their attention was a small ancient box， lying right beside her feet. They opened it and found many gold coins in it. They’d actually found a treasure box！Hand in hand， the four friends walked towards the sun shining through the cave opening， with bright smiles on their faces.

Eating in China
7 March， Sichuan hot pot
[1]The mouth-watering hot pots of Sichuan are as famous overseas as they are in China， and the hot flavour is enough to heat up① a cold midwinter evening or to let loose② rivers of sweat on a summer afternoon.I gave it my first try③ last night， together with④ a few local friends.As the soup bubbled slowly over a gas burner in the middle of the table， its surface was covered with⑤ a beautiful layer of chillies， Sichuan peppers⑥， spring onions and red oil.Slowly at first， and then faster and faster， we tipped plates of fresh meat， fish and vegetables into the pot.[2]The hot flavour quickened our laughter and conversation， making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends.
　　[1]本句為and連接的并列句。第一個分句中第二個as引導比較狀語從句； 第二個分句中or 連接的是并列的動詞不定式短語to heat up a cold midwinter evening 和to let loose rivers of sweat ...，作狀語。
[2]句中making the meal the perfect way to relax with friends為動詞-ing形式（現在分詞）作結果狀語。
[3]Sichuan hot pots are perfect for the damp⑦， foggy⑧ climate in which they were invented.[4]They are believed to have started off in the late Qing Dynasty⑨ as a way for boatmen on the Yangtze River to keep warm during the cold and wet winters.In the beginning， the delicious dish was made simply by boiling vegetables， chillies and Sichuan peppers in water.Over time， it has expanded⑩ to include multiple options of soups， vegetables， meats and sauces ， appealing to people of different tastes.[5]What I love best about Sichuan hot pots is that they offer a great opportunity to socialize with friends since a meal can last for hours.I instantly became a big fan of Sichuan hot pots and I’ll soon be back for more！
　　[3]本句為主從復合句。其中“介詞（in）＋關系代詞（which）”引導定語從句，修飾先行詞climate。climate與介詞in搭配。
[4]句中“主語＋be＋believed＋動詞不定式（短語）”，意為“……被認為……”。動詞不定式短語to keep warm during the cold and wet winters作后置定語，修飾way。
[5]What引導主語從句，并在該從句中作賓語；that引導表語從句，該從句中since引導原因狀語從句。
12 August， Nanjing salted duck
Salted duck is Nanjing’s most famous food export.[6]Served plain in thin， white slices， the meat is juicy and salty.Each Nanjing salted duck takes several days to prepare， and the process includes salting， drying， boiling and cooling.As I finished my first helping on a recent afternoon in Nanjing， my host， Chef Zhang， told me a little more about the dish.
The countryside around Nanjing has been famous for its ducks for centuries； its countless waterways make the area perfect for raising waterbirds.A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted duck in particular ， saying it was without equal.Traditionally， duck is considered to have cooling properties ， so it is appropriate for the hot summer months.[7]Nowadays， people eat salted duck all year round and it is estimated that tens of thousands of ducks are consumed every day in Nanjing！It definitely hit the spot when I tried it， and it has become one of my personal favourites.
　　[6]句中Served plain in thin， white slices為動詞-ed短語作狀語。
　　[7]句中and連接并列句；it is estimated that ...為固定句式，表示“估計……”。
8 December， Cantonese dim sum
[8]In Guangzhou， morning tea is such an essential part of the daily routine that “Have you had your tea？” has become the local version of “Good morning.”Though teahouses have been common in China since the Tang Dynasty， the Cantonese innovation of the mid-19th century was to serve tea together with a variety of light dishes， or dim sum.The concept took off， and today Guangzhou’s restaurants stimulate customers’ appetite with over a thousand offerings， each more delicate and delicious than the last.
　　[9]The Cantonese do not hurry over their breakfasts， as I found when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou’s old city centre this morning.The emphasis is rather on conversation about business， family or pleasure， and locals can spend hours together chatting， drinking tea and working their way through the menu.From beef balls to rice noodle rolls， there are various dishes that have been baked， boiled， steamed or fried.A single visit is not enough to appreciate everything， and I have a long list of dim sum I still need to try.
　　[8]本句為主從復合句。句型“such＋a/an＋形容詞＋名詞＋that ...”引導結果狀語從句，意為“如此……以至于……”。
　　[9]本句為主從復合句。as在句中意為“正如……”，引導非限制性定語從句，從句中的when引導時間狀語從句。

食在中國
3月7日，四川火鍋
令人垂涎欲滴的四川火鍋，聞名海內外，那火辣的風味足以溫暖隆冬的寒夜，或在夏日的午后讓人汗流如注。昨晚，我第一次嘗試了四川火鍋，是與幾位當地的朋友一道吃的。桌子正中的煤氣爐上，湯緩緩地冒著泡，表面覆蓋著一層辣椒、花椒、蔥段和紅油，甚是好看。我們把一盤盤新鮮的肉、魚和蔬菜倒進鍋里，一開始慢，到后來越來越快。熱辣的味道讓大家談笑起來更有興致，這頓飯成了與友人放松的最佳方式。
四川火鍋非常適合其發源地潮濕多霧的氣候。人們認為，火鍋始自清末，當時是長江上的船工在濕冷的冬季取暖的一種辦法。一開始，美味的火鍋只不過是將蔬菜、辣椒和花椒用水煮。后來，火鍋的內容逐漸豐富，包括各式湯底以及品種多樣的蔬菜、肉和調料，滿足了人們不同的口味。我最喜歡四川火鍋的一點在于，它為朋友間的交往提供了一個很棒的機會，因為一頓飯能吃上好幾個小時。我瞬間成了四川火鍋的“鐵桿粉絲”，我很快會再回來吃的！
8月12日，南京鹽水鴨
鹽水鴨是南京最有名的特色食品。鴨肉端上來是簡單的、白白的薄片，肉質多汁且帶有咸味。每只鹽水鴨都要經過腌、晾、煮、涼等工序，耗費數天制成。最近一天下午，我在南京吃完我的第一份（鹽水鴨）后，招待我的張大廚向我介紹了更多這道菜的事情。
南京周邊的鄉村因為鴨子已經馳名數百年；這一帶水網密布，非常適合養殖水禽。一本清末的地方志尤其盛贊鹽水鴨，稱其無與倫比。傳統上鴨肉被認為性涼，所以適宜在炎熱的夏季食用。如今，人們一年四季都吃鹽水鴨，據估計南京人每天要吃掉數萬只鴨子！我嘗了鹽水鴨，真的太對我胃口了，（現在）它已經成了我最喜歡的食物之一。
　　12月8日，廣東點心
在廣州，早茶在日常生活中的地位是如此重要，以至于“飲茶未？”（粵語，意為“你吃早茶了嗎？”——譯者注）成了當地人問候早安的方式。雖說茶館在中國從唐代開始就司空見慣了，但十九世紀中葉廣東人的創新在于將茶佐以各種小菜或點心。這個觀念流行起來，如今廣州的各家餐廳用一千多種點心使食客們胃口大開，一道更比一道精致、美味。
　　廣東人用早餐并不匆忙，正如今天早晨我在廣州老城區中心的一家餐館所見的那樣。重點而是在談生意、話家常或消遣，當地人可以花好幾個小時聚在一起聊天、喝茶，慢慢吃遍菜單上所有的點心。從牛丸到腸粉，烤、煮、蒸、炸的菜品各式各樣。來一次不足以嘗個遍，我列出了一個長長的清單，都是以后要品嘗的點心。

2.美句欣賞——賞佳句，品用法
場面描寫是讀后續寫一個重要的寫作內容，是對一個特定的時間與地點內許多人物活動的總體情況的描寫。常見的有勞動場面、戰斗場面、運動場面以及各種會議場面等。場面描寫要表現出一種特定的氣氛，單一的表達方式和寫作手法是不夠的，要綜合運用記敘、描寫、抒情、議論等表達手段，以及映襯、象征等多種手法，這樣才能使場面變成一幅生動且充滿感染力的圖畫，使人有種身臨其境的感覺。
請從課文中找出一處有關吃火鍋的場面描寫的片段，誦讀并翻譯成漢語。

duck takes several days to prepare， and the process includes salting，
drying， boiling and cooling.As I finished my first helping on a recent
afternoon in Nanjing， my host， Chef Zhang， told me a little more
about the dish.
12 August， Nanjing salted duck
The countryside around Nanjing has been famous for its ducks for
centuries； its countless waterways make the area perfect for raising
waterbirds.A local history book from the late Qing Dynasty praised salted
duck in particular ， saying it was without equal.Traditionally， duck is
considered to have cooling properties ， so it is appropriate for the
hot summer months.[7]Nowadays， people eat salted duck all year round
and it is estimated that tens of thousands of ducks are consumed every
day in Nanjing！It definitely hit the spot when I tried it， and it has
become one of my personal favourites.

[8]In Guangzhou， morning tea is such an essential part of the
daily routine that “Have you had your tea？” has become the local
version of “Good morning.”Though teahouses have been common in
China since the Tang Dynasty， the Cantonese innovation of the mid-
19th century was to serve tea together with a variety of light dishes， or
dim sum.The concept took off， and today Guangzhou’s restaurants
stimulate customers’ appetite with over a thousand offerings， each
more delicate and delicious than the last.
8 December， Cantonese dim sum
　　[9]The Cantonese do not hurry over their breakfasts， as I found
when I visited a restaurant in Guangzhou’s old city centre this morning.The
emphasis is rather on conversation about business， family or
pleasure， and locals can spend hours together chatting， drinking tea and
working their way through the menu.From beef balls to rice noodle
rolls， there are various dishes that have been baked， boiled， steamed
or fried.A single visit is not enough to appreciate everything， and I have a
long list of dim sum I still need to try.

食在中國
3月7日，四川火鍋
令人垂涎欲滴的四川火鍋，聞名海內外，那火辣的風味足以溫暖
隆冬的寒夜，或在夏日的午后讓人汗流如注。昨晚，我第一次嘗試了
四川火鍋，是與幾位當地的朋友一道吃的。桌子正中的煤氣爐上，湯
緩緩地冒著泡，表面覆蓋著一層辣椒、花椒、蔥段和紅油，甚是好
看。我們把一盤盤新鮮的肉、魚和蔬菜倒進鍋里，一開始慢，到后來
越來越快。熱辣的味道讓大家談笑起來更有興致，這頓飯成了與友人
放松的最佳方式。
四川火鍋非常適合其發源地潮濕多霧的氣候。人們認為，火鍋始
自清末，當時是長江上的船工在濕冷的冬季取暖的一種辦法。一開
始，美味的火鍋只不過是將蔬菜、辣椒和花椒用水煮。后來，火鍋的
內容逐漸豐富，包括各式湯底以及品種多樣的蔬菜、肉和調料，滿足
了人們不同的口味。我最喜歡四川火鍋的一點在于，它為朋友間的交
往提供了一個很棒的機會，因為一頓飯能吃上好幾個小時。我瞬間成
了四川火鍋的“鐵桿粉絲”，我很快會再回來吃的！
8月12日，南京鹽水鴨
鹽水鴨是南京最有名的特色食品。鴨肉端上來是簡單的、白白的
薄片，肉質多汁且帶有咸味。每只鹽水鴨都要經過腌、晾、煮、涼等
工序，耗費數天制成。最近一天下午，我在南京吃完我的第一份（鹽
水鴨）后，招待我的張大廚向我介紹了更多這道菜的事情。
南京周邊的鄉村因為鴨子已經馳名數百年；這一帶水網密布，非
常適合養殖水禽。一本清末的地方志尤其盛贊鹽水鴨，稱其無與倫
比。傳統上鴨肉被認為性涼，所以適宜在炎熱的夏季食用。如今，人
們一年四季都吃鹽水鴨，據估計南京人每天要吃掉數萬只鴨子！我嘗
了鹽水鴨，真的太對我胃口了，（現在）它已經成了我最喜歡的食物
之一。
12月8日，廣東點心
在廣州，早茶在日常生活中的地位是如此重要，以至于“飲茶
未？”（粵語，意為“你吃早茶了嗎？”——譯者注）成了當地人問
候早安的方式。雖說茶館在中國從唐代開始就司空見慣了，但十九世
紀中葉廣東人的創新在于將茶佐以各種小菜或點心。這個觀念流行起
來，如今廣州的各家餐廳用一千多種點心使食客們胃口大開，一道更
比一道精致、美味。
　　廣東人用早餐并不匆忙，正如今天早晨我在廣州老城區中心的一
家餐館所見的那樣。重點而是在談生意、話家?；蛳?，當地人可以
花好幾個小時聚在一起聊天、喝茶，慢慢吃遍菜單上所有的點心。從
牛丸到腸粉，烤、煮、蒸、炸的菜品各式各樣。來一次不足以嘗個
遍，我列出了一個長長的清單，都是以后要品嘗的點心。

2. 美句欣賞——賞佳句，品用法
場面描寫是讀后續寫一個重要的寫作內容，是對一個特定的時間與
地點內許多人物活動的總體情況的描寫。常見的有勞動場面、戰斗
場面、運動場面以及各種會議場面等。場面描寫要表現出一種特定
的氣氛，單一的表達方式和寫作手法是不夠的，要綜合運用記敘、
描寫、抒情、議論等表達手段，以及映襯、象征等多種手法，這樣
才能使場面變成一幅生動且充滿感染力的圖畫，使人有種身臨其境
的感覺。
請從課文中找出一處有關吃火鍋的場面描寫的片段，誦讀并翻譯成
漢語。

　　Drinking coffee as soon as one wakes up from a night’s sleep greatly
affects metabolism and blood sugar responses.Scientists published this in
the British Journal of Nutrition.
　　In the study， the UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take
part in three different overnight experiments.In the first two scenes，
participants were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal
night’s sleep， and then again after a greatly disturbed night’s sleep.In the
third， their sleep was similar， but they were given a strong black coffee
30 minutes before having the sugary drink.
　　Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary
drinking each experiment.Results showed that one night of disturbed sleep
did not worsen the participants’ blood sugar responses at breakfast when
compared to a normal night of sleep.However， strong black coffee
consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around
50 per cent.
　　By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast， UK researchers
found that our bodies’ ability to break down our food healthily is
completely improved.Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning
coffee through a range of different metabolic markers， researchers found
that， while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism，
drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood
sugar control.
　　“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and，
before doing anything else， drink coffee — the more tired we feel， the
stronger the coffee is.This study is important and has far-reaching health
influences， and it indeed shakes some coffee drinkers.Up to now we have
had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies， in
particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control， so we have a long
way to go，” said Professor James Bette， co-director of the Centre for
Nutrition at the University of Bath.

　　Mum filled our house with beautiful furnishings （家具）， one of
which was a pair of crystal （水晶） table lamps. One of my chores was
to clean the lamps. I didn’t mind because when they were cleaned，
rainbows covered the highly cleaned wood floor when the sun shone
through them.
　　I asked her how much they cost. “Don’t you worry about it，” she
replied.“Just know that they are expensive and can never be replaced.”
　　Each sat on its own lamp table in the aisle （走廊） between the
living room and the kitchen. It was unavoidable that the combination of my
five-year-old brother Stephen and those lamps would lead to a tragedy
（悲?。? They were a challenge to him. He had to prove he could pass
dangerously close without knocking them off their tables.
　　I knew I’d be held responsible if Stephen harmed those lamps， so I
tried to stop him from getting me into trouble. On one occasion when he
was trying to prove to me how skilled he was， Stephen’s luck finally ran
out.
　　Trying to explain to Mum that I hadn’t broken one of the lamps and
that I’d tried to get Stephen to stop was useless. I had no idea how much it
cost， but decided to save my birthday money to replace the lamp.
　　One day， Mum and I went shopping at Newberry’s. To my
surprise， there was the precious lamp high on a shelf， only priced at
twenty-five dollars！ I had more than enough to afford it！ I told Mum
that I was going to buy it， but she said， “No.” At my request， she
told me， “The lamp isn’t irreplaceable because it was the only lamp in
existence. My mother gave those lamps to me as a wedding gift. She used
to clean floors for a living and it took everything she earned and so much
love for her to buy them for me. Nothing replaces the love she has for
me， nor the love I have from you wanting to spend all the money you
have to buy me the same lamp.”

Ⅲ.讀后續寫

　　“Flashlight， water， sandwiches and spare clothes，” Harry’s
mum called out. “Everything’s there，” Harry smiled as he tapped his
backpack.
　　“Stay safe and take care of your friends too，” Harry’s mum called
after him as he left the house.
　　“Yes， I will. Don’t worry，” Harry said.
　　Harry and his friends met at the port by the sea， with boats lined up
in front of them. Excited， all four of them settled themselves down， and
Tom and Lucy started up the engine. They were going to make the most
out of their vacation.
　　The boat set off. Harry handed out sandwiches to everyone while they
waited to see the island they planned their trip to. An hour went by when a
distant piece of land appeared in front of them. Tom announced that they
were very near their destination.
　　Not long after， they hit land. The island was pretty. Flowers in
different shapes and sizes bloomed （開花）， tall trees with fruits lined
up， birds sang and butterflies flew past them.
　　Lucy took in a breath of air and said，“So beautiful！”
　　As they walked across the island， it started to get hot. The sun had
already reached the top of their heads. They came across a small river and
settled down beside it. Tom splashed （潑灑） water on his face. It was
very cool.
　　“What is that？” Harry shouted in surprise， pointing in a
direction in front of them. The others looked around to see what he had
noticed.
　　“Doesn’t it look like a cave？” Jane said， her eyes shining bright.
　　Always ready for new adventures， they quickly ran over to the
cave’s opening. The cave looked large， its opening wide enough to fit
five people at once. But it looked like no one had been to it in ages.
　　“Do we have to go inside？” Tom asked. “What if there’s
something scary in it？”
　　“Don’t be a mood spoiler （破壞者）， Tom，” Jane pushed him
to go inside. All of them walked after Harry.
　　The cave was larger than they thought at first. Harry pulled out the
flashlight from his backpack and turned it on. A winding passage led out
from one corner of the cave.
　　“Let’s see how far it goes，” Harry said.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　They stepped into the passage one after the other. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
　　Suddenly， Jane cried out as she stood holding her toe. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
參考范文：
　　They stepped into the passage one after the other.They silently walked
along the passage， sometimes whispering to each other. All of a sudden，
Harry stopped walking. They bumped into each other after him. Lucy
asked Harry what was wrong from the end of the line. Harry answered
disappointedly that the cave had just suddenly ended， and that he thought
they could at least have found some ancient treasure. Tom laughed at him
and suggested going back. Then they turned around and walked back.
　　Suddenly， Jane cried out as she stood holding her toe.All of them
rushed over to check if she was fine. Lucy flashed the light in the direction
of her foot. Jane’s toe looked okay. But what caught their attention was a
small ancient box， lying right beside her feet. They opened it and found
many gold coins in it. They’d actually found a treasure box！Hand in
hand， the four friends walked towards the sun shining through the cave
opening， with bright smiles on their faces.
謝謝觀看！
