Arbeia Roman Fort (城堡) and Museum
Location and History
Arbeia Roman Fort is situated on Hadrian’s Wall. It was the most important structure built by the Romans in Britain, and now it has been a World Heritage (遗产) Site. Built around AD 160, Arbeia Roman Fort was the military supply base for the soldiers who were stationed along Hadrian’s Wall. The fort has been gradually uncovered and some original parts have been revealed. There are reconstructions that show how Arbeia Roman Fort would have looked.
The Reconstructions
The reconstructions of the Commanding Officer’s house and soldiers’ quarters are strikingly different. The accommodation for soldiers is dark and uncomfortable, while the Commanding Officer’s house is spacious and luxurious, with courtyards with fountains for him and his family to enjoy.
The Museum
Visit the museum and see many objects that were found at Arbeia. They are historically important and show what daily life was really like at that time. You will see weapons, tools, jewellery, and so on. You can also discover how the Romans buried their dead and see tombstones (墓碑) which survive to this day. There is a “hands-on” area allowing visitors to dig on a certain site and study their findings with the help of museum staff. You can piece together pottery (陶器), or try writing just as the Romans would have done. For children, they can build this ancient Roman fort with building blocks by themselves.
Opening Times and Getting There April 1-October 31: Monday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm, Sunday 2:00pm-5:00pm. November 1-March 31: Monday to Saturday 11:00am-4:00pm, closed Sunday. (Closed December 25-26 and January 1) Entry is free. Arbeia is only a ten-minute walk from the bus station at South Shields. Free car park nearby. Website: www.twmuseums.org.uk/arbeia
1. According to the passage, Arbeia Roman Fort ______.
A. was related to the military B. got reconstructions around AD 160
C. was built in a small area in Rome D. provided a comfortable life for soldiers
2. What can visitors do in the museum
A. Try using weapons. B. See historical objects.
C. Write to ancient Romans. D. Build tombstones for the dead.
3. What time does Arbeia Roman Fort close
A. On April 1. B. On October 31.

Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly - in, fly - out” parents might influence the health of their children.
A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long work absence of a parent had emotional or behavioral problems compared with those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research finding high percentages of emotional problems in teenagers who often returned to an empty house after school or whose parents were seldom at dinner.
Findings also suggest that parents don’t have to be home all the time to be present in their children’s lives, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant.
Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy one another’s company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter’s invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close.
In fact many years of research suggest that children use their parents as a safe base from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents’ movements from room to room, even while carrying on with their own activities. Perhaps our teens, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don’t want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom.
A new school year is at hand so as parents we could offer our teenagers a “potted flower” as a gift, whose quiet and steady presence will give them a great day.
4. What did the study find about the 618 teens
A. They had more dinners with their parents.
B. They were more prepared to help themselves.
C. They were more likely to have trouble with their feelings.
D. They showed more dislike for traditional working hours.
5. What is the author’s attitude to her two friends’ practices
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Hesitant. D. Unconcerned.
6. Who are probably the target readers of this passage
A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Researchers. D. Educators.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Teens want potted plant parents
B. Your kids still need conversation
C. Quiet families raise healthier teenagers
D. Parents know little about today’s teenagers
C
Hazel Mayfield usually cooks the Thanksgiving meal for her extended family in Houston, Texas. She usually welcomes friends and neighbors eager to sample her fried turkey, green bean casserole , candied yams, homemade cornbread dressing, and dirty rice -just a few of her signature dishes. Known as Suga Mama, because her grandchildren think she’s so sweet, the 91 -year-old typically likes to do her own shopping for the ingredients to make her special dishes.
“My mother is the head cook of the family,” said Paulette Mouton, Mayfield’s daughter.“Because of her reputation, you know, there’re people in and out all day, everybody’s family comes through. They want to get some of Suga Mama’s cooking. We’re from Louisiana and we cook all that.”（ One in six Americans could go hungry in 2020 as pandemic persists. ）
But Mayfield hasn’t been to the grocery store since March. And there is little about Thanksgiving 2020 that’s usual. Hundreds of thousands of American families have re-imagined the holiday with virtual celebrations, canceled or delayed travel plans , or for small gatherings with people in their households in response to COVID-19, the deadly virus that has killed more than 250,000 in the U.S. and spoiled life around the world.
This year, Mayfield’s family members are lamenting（ 悲叹） the absence of a big gathering. They’ve explained to their young children and grandchildren why this year’s Thanksgiving is different. Mayfield’ s youngest daughter, Michelle Sanders, says it’s tough helping her grandchildren understand why they can’ t see some of their other family members.
“It’s really hard, trying to explain to them,”Sanders said. “When you’ re talking to them and they want to come over, you have to tell them no. They really don’t know how to be careful.”
Sanders added,“And, they don’ t understand that, being three, four, and six, you know they don’t really understand that.So, it’s ... it’s really, really hard, and heartbreaking. ”
8. What kind of person is Hazel Mayfield
A. Helpful and kind-hearted. B. Stubborn and enthusiastic.
C. Talented and instructive. D. Grateful and sensitive.
9. Why are there people in and out of Hazel Mayfield’s house
A. They like to talk to Suga Mama warmly.
B. They come to help cook meals as they like.
C. They come to satisfy their stomaches.
D. They come to cook various meals.
10. How do people react to this year’s Thanksgiving
A. They try to get together with their family members in the open.
B. They have to avoid big gatherings even with family members.
C. They feel difficult to persuade their children to get together.
D. They are pleased with the absence of Thankgiving celebration.
11. What can we infer from Sanders’words
A. Children are delighted to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day.
B. Adults feel it difficult to get together with their children.
C. Children are still too young to understand the situation.
D. It’s tough helping children overcome their problems.
D
Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics (道德准则). In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. This was done with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA.
Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she’s alive and well. And in the USA last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.
Some people hope that in the future, diseases or birth defects could simply be "edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. “Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director at Stanford University, USA, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, this embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.”
So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now.
12. The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. record B. change C. remove D. increase
13. What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing
A. A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists.
B. A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.
C. HIV cells were removed from patients9 bodies.
D. Some birth defects were simply edited out.
14. Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards
A. They don’t think it is an effective way to fight diseases.
B. They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.
C. They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.
D. They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.
15. What can we conclude from the text
A Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.
B. There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.
C. Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.
D. Scientists are pessimistic (悲观的) about the future of gene editing.

Der Lun followed his mother to the market as usual. It was a task he enjoyed because the market was such a place full of life. There was always something interesting to see.
That day, Der Lun caught sight of a middle-aged man with dirty hair and old clothes. He was a beggar. He held out a wooden bowl and passers-by dropped in coins. Der Lun’s mother put a small coin into the bowl as she passed him by. His eyes followed the mother and son as they set off for home. As Der Lun and his mother turned into the narrow path that led to their house, he suddenly realized that the beggar was following them. Der Lun told his mother about it. Alarmed, she quickened her steps and as soon as they got inside their house, she locked it. Der Lun looked out the window and saw the beggar sitting on the ground near the gate. Why did the beggar follow them Der Lun wished he knew.
After a couple of hours, Der Lun’s mother became concerned for the poor beggar. He had not moved from his spot. She gathered up her courage and went to ask the beggar to leave. But the beggar merely looked at her with a gentle smile. Worried that he would fall ill with no food and water, she sent Der Lun to give him a bowl of rice and vegetables and some tea. The beggar ate and drank. Then he lay down under a tree to sleep. Der Lun’s mother was at a loss as to what else to do. She was just a poor widow with a young son. Since the beggar refused to leave, she and Der Lun built a little shelter for him. He seemed content with whatever they gave him.

Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly - in, fly - out” parents might influence the health of their children.
A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long work absence of a parent had emotional or behavioral problems compared with those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research finding high percentages of emotional problems in teenagers who often returned to an empty house after school or whose parents were seldom at dinner.
Findings also suggest that parents don’t have to be home all the time to be present in their children’s lives, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant.
Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy one another’s company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter’s invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close.
In fact, many years of research suggest that children use their parents as a safe base from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children quietly follow their parents’ movements from room to room, even while carrying on with their own activities. Perhaps our teens, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don’t want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom.
A new school year is at hand, so as parents we could offer our teenagers a “potted flower” as a gift, whose quiet and steady presence will give them a great day.

A. They had more dinners with their parents.
B. They were more prepared to help themselves.
C. They were more likely to have trouble with their feelings.
D. They showed more dislike for traditional working hours.

Hazel Mayfield usually cooks the Thanksgiving meal for her extended family in Houston, Texas. She usually welcomes friends and neighbors eager to sample her fried turkey, green bean casserole , candied yams, homemade cornbread dressing, and dirty rice -just a few of her signature dishes. Known as Suga Mama, because her grandchildren think she’s so sweet, the 91 -year-old typically likes to do her own shopping for the ingredients to make her special dishes.
“My mother is the head cook of the family,” said Paulette Mouton, Mayfield’s daughter.“Because of her reputation, you know, there’re people in and out all day, everybody’s family comes through. They want to get some of Suga Mama’s cooking. We’re from Louisiana and we cook all that.”（ One in six Americans could go hungry in 2020 as pandemic persists. ）
But Mayfield hasn’t been to the grocery store since March. And there is little about Thanksgiving 2020 that’s usual. Hundreds of thousands of American families have re-imagined the holiday with virtual celebrations, canceled or delayed travel plans , or for small gatherings with people in their households in response to COVID-19, the deadly virus that has killed more than 250,000 in the U.S. and spoiled life around the world.
This year, Mayfield’s family members are lamenting（ 悲叹） the absence of a big gathering. They’ve explained to their young children and grandchildren why this year’s Thanksgiving is different. Mayfield’ s youngest daughter, Michelle Sanders, says it’s tough helping her grandchildren understand why they can’ t see some of their other family members.
“It’s really hard, trying to explain to them,”Sanders said. “When you’ re talking to them and they want to come over, you have to tell them no. They really don’t know how to be careful.”
Sanders added,“And, they don’ t understand that, being three, four, and six, you know they don’t really understand that.So, it’s ... it’s really, really hard, and heartbreaking. ”
8. What kind of person is Hazel Mayfield
A. Helpful and kind-hearted. B. Stubborn and enthusiastic.
C. Talented and instructive. D. Grateful and sensitive.
9. Why are there people in and out of Hazel Mayfield’s house
A. They like to talk to Suga Mama warmly.
B. They come to help cook meals as they like.
C. They come to satisfy their stomaches.
D. They come to cook various meals.
10. How do people react to this year’s Thanksgiving
A. They try to get together with their family members in the open.
B. They have to avoid big gatherings even with family members.
C. They feel difficult to persuade their children to get together.
D. They are pleased with the absence of Thankgiving celebration.
11. What can we infer from Sanders’words
A. Children are delighted to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day.
B. Adults feel it difficult to get together with their children.
C. Children are still too young to understand the situation.
D. It’s tough helping children overcome their problems.

Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics (道德准则). In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. This was done with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA.
Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she’s alive and well. And in the USA last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.
Some people hope that in the future, diseases or birth defects could simply be "edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. “Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director at Stanford University, USA, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, this embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.”
So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now.
12. The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. record B. change C. remove D. increase
13. What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing
A. A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists.
B. A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.
C. HIV cells were removed from patients9 bodies.
D. Some birth defects were simply edited out.
14. Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards
A. They don’t think it is an effective way to fight diseases.
B. They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.
C. They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.
D. They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.
15. What can we conclude from the text
A. Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.
B. There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.
C. Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.
D. Scientists are pessimistic (悲观的) about the future of gene editing.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们多年来一直试图找出如何改变人类的基因，来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，虽然这看起来是科学上的一大进步，但也有人认为，在伦理上，这是倒退了一步。我们对人类基因的了解，还需要不断探索。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. (据英国《卫报》报道，今年8月，一组来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，并移除了一个可能导致心脏病的基因突变)”可知，科学家可以编辑并改变人类胚胎基因。再根据本段划线句子“Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years, and it looks like they’ve finally cracked (破解) the code. (科学家们多年来一直试图找出如何alter人类的基因，看来他们终于破解了密码)”可知，科学家一直试图“改变”人类的基因，终于破解了密码，在人类胚胎基因上取得突破，由此可知划线词词义 为“改变”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In August, a group of scientists from the USA and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo (胚胎) and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian. (据英国《卫报》报道，今年8月，一组来自美国和韩国的科学家合作成功地编辑了一个人类胚胎，并移除了一个可能导致心脏病的基因突变)”以及第二段中“Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully, the advantages of gene editing have already been tested in living patients. (尽管这是胚胎基因成功改变的第一个例子，但基因编辑的优势已经在活体患者身上得到了检验)”可知，人类胚胎基因编辑的第一个成功例子是一个与心脏病有关的基因突变被科学家们移除了。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest “upgrades” for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Camovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News. (不过，也有人认为，这可能导致所谓的“设计师婴儿”，让父母可以选择从眼睛颜色到智力等一切东西。旧金山基因研究中心主任Marcy Camovsky对英国广播公司（BBC）说：“你可能会发现有钱的父母为他们的孩子购买最新的‘升级版’，导致了比我们现在所承受的更大的不平等”)”可知，有些人认为人类基因编辑是一种倒退，是他们认为这可能会导致“设计师婴儿”，加剧社会不平等性。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn children great brainpower or amazing singing abilities. (尽管科学家们已经取得了进步，但我们对人类基因的了解还不足以让所有未出生的孩子拥有强大的智力或惊人的歌唱能力) ”以及最后一段“So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work---at least for now. (所以看来，如果我们想取得好的考试成绩，或者想用我们的钢琴技巧给人们留下深刻的印象，我们就必须坚持用传统的方法，至少现在是这样) ”可知，我们对基因的了解是不充分的，还不足以帮助达到我们想要的效果，也就是要完全了解人类基因还有很长的路要走，故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了宣纸的历史渊源及其发展。
【36题详解】
考查连词。句意：世界各地很多人都知道纸是中国古代文明的四大发明之一，但很少有人知道，一千五百多年前，中国古代工匠发明了一种新型的纸，叫做宣纸，主要用于书写和绘画。结合空处前“Many people around the world may know...”及空后“few would know that...”内容可知，空后句子和前文构成转折对比关系，所以空处填连词but或while，故填but/while。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容在句中为非限制性定语从句，先行词为a new type of paper，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which，故填which。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：宣纸最初产于古代宣州府，现在在安徽省被称为泾县。分析可知，was made句子谓语动词，提示词know“将……称为；把……叫做”是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Xuan Prefecture之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语；be known as“作为……而闻名”，故填known。
39题详解】
考查副词。句意：制作宣纸的传统工艺要求极高，需要100多个步骤。修饰形容词demanding用副词extremely，意为“极度，非常”，故填extremely。
【40题详解】
考查不定式。句意：整个过程可能需要长达两年的时间才能完成，而且这些技能已经代代相传。固定句式：It takes + 时间+ to do sth.“做某事花了多少时间”，所以空处填不定式to complete，故填to complete。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。结合前文pass down，可知此处指这些技能已经世代相传。for generations“世世代代”，故填generations。
【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：另外，宣纸的设计使其能够使用1000多年，并且仍然保持油墨和颜色的清新。空处在句中为谓语，结合前文“Xuan paper is highly water absorbent”可知，时态用一般现在时；句子主语Xuan paper为单数含义，与动词design为动宾关系，所以语态用被动语态，故填is designed。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：如今在安徽省泾县，有许多宣纸工厂和作坊，那里仍然有大师级的工匠使用传统技术制造纸张。结合today可知，时态为一般现在时；本句使用了there be结构，系动词和主语many Xuan paper factories一致，用复数are，故填are。
【44题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意：由于其悠久的历史和在中国书画文化中所发挥的重要作用，宣纸于2006年被列入中国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。根据句意，提示词作定语，用形容词性物主代词修饰名词history，故填its。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。分析可知，“it has played 　　10　　　the culture of Chinese painting”为定语从句，修饰名词role，短语：play a role in“在……起作用”，所以空处用介词in，故填in。

47. 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。
Der Lun followed his mother to the market as usual. It was a task he enjoyed because the market was such a place full of life. There was always something interesting to see.
That day, Der Lun caught sight of a middle-aged man with dirty hair and old clothes. He was a beggar. He held out a wooden bowl and passers-by dropped in coins. Der Lun’s mother put a small coin into the bowl as she passed him by. His eyes followed the mother and son as they set off for home. As Der Lun and his mother turned into the narrow path that led to their house, he suddenly realized that the beggar was following them. Der Lun told his mother about it. Alarmed, she quickened her steps and as soon as they got inside their house, she locked it. Der Lun looked out the window and saw the beggar sitting on the ground near the gate. Why did the beggar follow them Der Lun wished he knew.
After a couple of hours, Der Lun’s mother became concerned for the poor beggar. He had not moved from his spot. She gathered up her courage and went to ask the beggar to leave. But the beggar merely looked at her with a gentle smile. Worried that he would fall ill with no food and water, she sent Der Lun to give him a bowl of rice and vegetables and some tea. The beggar ate and drank. Then he lay down under a tree to sleep. Der Lun’s mother was at a loss as to what else to do. She was just a poor widow with a young son. Since the beggar refused to leave, she and Der Lun built a little shelter for him. He seemed content with whatever they gave him.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A week passed and one day, Der Lun found the beggar gone. Der Lun and his mother searched for him, only to find him nowhere. Not long after that, a car stopped outside Der Lun’s house and two well-dressed men got out, introducing themselves as lawyers representing Mr. Cheong. They explained that Mr. Cheong wanted to repay Der Lun and his mother. Mr. Cheong was a millionare who had been once homeless.
Now that he was rich, he liked to look for deserving people to help. He wanted to give Der Lun and his mother a sum of money because they had been kind to him. Der Lun and his mother couldn’t believe their good fortune. They treated the beggar well out of sympathy. They never expected to be so richly rewarded. How could they use the sum of money Mr. Cheong gave “Granny can be saved from her serious illness…”“Der Lun, you can go to college in time!” Der Lun and his mother both cried, smiling.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对母子在去市场的路上施舍了一个头发蓬乱、衣着破旧的乞丐，原来乞丐是一位有过苦难经历的富豪，他委托律师找到这对母子并给了他们一笔足以改变他们生活的巨款。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一周过去了，有一天，德伦发现乞丐不见了。”可知，第一段可描写德伦和母亲寻找乞丐未果，后来两位律师找到他们并解释说那个乞丐是一位曾经无家可归的百万富翁，而且他想报答德伦和他的母亲。
②由第二段首句内容“既然他有钱了，他喜欢寻找值得帮助的人。”可知，第二段可描写那个“乞丐”想给德伦和他母亲一笔钱，因为他们之前对他很好，德伦和他的母亲不敢相信这个事实以及这笔钱会大大改善他们的生活。
2.续写线索：寻找乞丐未果——律师出现——解释乞丐的真实身份——获赠巨款——不敢相信——改变生活
