七、读后续写

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。

As the sun shone through Poltu's window, he was already wide awake in his bed. He got up and ran straight to his study table. There, in an empty jam bottle,  was the treasure. A colourful little butterfly. How difficult it had been to catch it in the backyard of his house. It had kept flying away from his grasp. But he did catch it. And now it was going to be part of his biology project in school.

The biology project required Poltu to submit the study of a living creature every month. Most of his classmates drew diagrams from their books as part of this exercise. But Poltu was going to do something different. He was going to present a live creature—this butterfly.

Poltu loved the different colours on the wings of the butterfly. Red, green and blue. How beautiful it looked when it fluttered the wings. Poltu had made a few holes on the cap of the bottle to let air pass through, and added tender leaves for the butterfly to nibble (小口咬) on. He might have trapped the creature, but he cared for it.

Excited about displaying his exhibit to the biology teacher, Poltu dressed hurriedly, and left for school. His school was walking distance from his house. He took a short cut and when he arrived, the gate wasn't wholly open yet.

He walked straight into his class, opened the bench window and placed the bottle on the windowsill. The golden rays of the sun streamed through the glass,  on the delicate wings of the butterfly. Poltu's butterfly looked simply gorgeous. In a few minutes,  the area was full of boys,  even from other classes, gazing fondly at it.

That day's biology class was the most interesting in a long time. Pleased with Poltu's initiative (主动性), the teacher asked everyone in the class to thank him as he made it possible for them to study a butterfly so closely. Poltu felt like a star for being treated like royalty.

On the way home, whatever small creatures Poltu came across, he felt like putting them into the bottle. But he checked himself as he wanted to give breathing space to his butterfly.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式作答。

However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving.

_______

He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand.

________

五、1.Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings.

2.To sum up，one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages...

3.Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence.

六、1.enjoyable　考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知，此处要用形容词修饰名词scenic spot。

2.was named　考查时态和语态。这条河由于像蛇一样的形状而得名。根据语境可知，空处应用一般过去时，且the river与name之间是被动关系，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态。

3.to swim　考查非谓语动词。permit sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，是固定用法，这里是其被动形式。

4.roughly　考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词rise，应用副词形式。roughly“大致”。

5.but　考查连词。训练时可以穿潜水服，但是比赛期间不能穿，即使在冬季也不能穿。前后表转折关系，故填but。

6.are　考查主谓一致。句子的主语“Half the members of the club”是复数，所以谓语动词要用复数形式。

7.of　考查介词。consist of“由……组成”，是固定用法。

8.held　考查时态。根据句中的in 1864可知，动作发生在过去，所以要用一般过去时。

9.who　考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，指代先行词James Matthew Barrie，且在从句中作主语，所以用who。

10.Attracted　考查非谓语动词。Barrie与attract之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处应用动词­ed形式作状语。

七、参考范文：

However, when he returned home, he found the butterfly not moving. Suspecting that it could be sleeping,  he patted the cap of the bottle lightly, but no response. Poltu was scared all of a sudden. A disturbing thought flashed across his mind that the butterfly might have been exhausted to death after being displayed the entire day. He poured a little water into the bottle, which seemed to help as the butterfly shivered a little. Then followed a long period of utter stillness of the poor creature,  leaving Poltu even more unsettled.

He ran outside, holding the bottle tightly in his hand. The air in the backyard was refreshing from the scent of the green grass. He quickly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and started shaking it gently. His heart pounded as he waited for the butterfly to come alive. Then slowly, as if waking from a deep slumber, the butterfly started to move. Poltu watched as it fluttered its wings and rose gently up into the air. Staring at the empty bottle for an instant, he had a feeling of emptiness himself. But it was a delight to send the  butterfly back to where it belonged—nature.
