105、husiastic(充满热情的) and warm-hearted.

When his car would pass him on the other side, Art made eye cont
106、act and waved. The young man smiled and waved back. After that, Art saw him almost daily, walking along the winding road waving at cars, and he knew the boy was named Jim. Art used to enjoy walking out in the countryside himself, so he thought it wasnt too strange.On a rainy day, Art saw Jim again a
107、nd pulled over. He asked if he needed a ride. The young man said, “Im not really going anywhere, just walking with my dog. He likes rainy days. Thanks all the same, mister.” “Your dog is special. My wife also has a dog, and it is pregnant(怀孕的),” Art said. Then he told him if he ever needed a ride or
108、 help, he could flag(挥手示意某人停车) him down and he would do whatever he could.

110、here! There he is! Thats Randy!” Jim shouted.注意:1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1Art checked the dog, and he found the dog had been dead_Paragraph 2One of the baby dogs caught Arts attention, who had a white ear and a black one._【答案】One possible version:Paragraph 1Art checked the dog
111、, and he found the dog had been dead. Art told Jim his dog was gone, but that he could keep his dog in his heart. The boy cried his eyes out. Art helped Jim to take Randy to his house, buried him and made a marker. Then Art left, feeling very blue. In the following days, he didnt meet Jim on the roa
112、d. He knew the boy was extremely sad but didnt know how to comfort him.

113、plained the whole situation to his wife. Eva said it was not a coincidence and it was a sign. After discussion, Art took the dog to Jims house. I bring you a little Randy, Art said to him when Jim opened the door. Then the little dog came out of the car. Oh, really Randy! You have come back to me! J
114、im said with tears of joy.【解析】【分析】故事主要涉及 Art，Eva 和 Jim 三个人物，注意分析他们之间的关系。Art 和 Eva 是夫妻，Art 和 Jim 是熟人，Jim 和 Eva 都养了一只狗，而且 Eva 的狗怀孕了。Jim 的爱犬 Randy 的死亡是把三人紧密联系在一起的纽带。【详解】1.段落续写：第一段开头是“Art 检查了狗，发现它已经死了”，因此本段应该写 Randy 的死让 Jim 非常伤心，Jim 处理 Randy 的“后事”等，再结合第二段的开头可知，本段内容还应包括 Eva 养的狗产崽了。续写的第二段的开头是“其中只小狗引起了 Art
115、 的注意，它有一只白耳朵和一只黑耳朵”，因此，本段内容应是 Art 和 Eva 决定将这只与 Randy 相像的小狗送给 Jim 以及 Jim 见到小狗时激动的心情等。2.续写线索：伤心下葬生子巧合喜极而泣3.词汇激活行为类生子：gave birth to/have a baby引起某人注意：catch/draw ones attention情绪类哭得死去活来：cry ones eyes out/weep ones heart out喜极而泣: tears of joy/cry with joy【点睛】高分句型1 Then Art left, feeling very blue.这句话运用了现在分词作状语的结构。高分句型2 He knew the boy was extremely sad but didnt know how to comfort him.这句话运用了宾语从句。高分句型3 Art said to him when Jim opened the door.这句话运用了when引导的时间状语从句。
