Its a plane that flies in a parabolic path so you are weightless, like you are in space. A lot of people vomit, but he loved that sort of thing.” And he was 65 at t
43、he time.Hawkings greatest hit, humor-wise, was probably the cocktail party he threw in 2009. It was a “ welcome reception for future time travelers,” he said, so naturally, he sent out the invitations the day after the party. No one showed up yet. “Maybe one day someone living in the future will fin

114、词左右。The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and a little wet, and the street lamp gave little light. Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the silent night.When he reached the middle of the bridge, he th
115、ought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However , the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again , thinking there was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.Just then , he heard short , quick steps closely behi
116、nd him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge , he could almost feel someone at his heels. He turned round and there stood a man in a large coat. A hat was pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen.Frank said something about the weather in an effort to be frie
117、ndly. The man did not answer but asked roughly where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour. He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Alm
118、ost without realizing what he was doing , he began following the stranger quickly.The man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the windows. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall
119、and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.Paragraph 1:Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do._Paragraph 2:Frank couldnt just stand in the dark and wait._【答案】Paragraph 1:Now Frank knew what the man wanted to doEveryone knew that Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of doll
120、ars. It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger. Would the man have a weapon? Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside? Franks heart was racing with fear. He reached for his cellphone to call the police, but found it out of power. If only he h
121、ad charged his phone before leaving the office, but it was too late. Paragraph 2:Frank couldnt just stand in the dark and wait. He had to do something, even if it meant risking his own life. At his feet he silently found several good-sized stones, and he threw them with all his strength right at the
122、 windows of the house. The clatter woke up the people inside the house and a light came on upstairs. The man froze, not quite knowing what had just happened. Lights came on everywhere in the house and within a minute the night was filled with sounds of police sirens screaming towards Oakfield House.
123、【解析】分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。根据所给的两个段首句，来续写一个完整的故事。【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，午夜时分Frank走在路上，总感觉有人跟着自己，他放慢脚步，发现一个身穿大衣，帽檐遮脸的人，Frank与其交谈，试图表现出镇定的样子，而那人并不理睬，只顾着问Oakfield House怎么走。Frank好奇陌生人为什么这么晚要去Oakfield House，并且住在那里的人非常富有。想到这些，Frank决定悄悄跟随谋生人看他到底要做什么，在Oakfield House外，Frank看到陌生人等灯全熄灭后翻墙进入了Oakfield House里面根据段落首句，
124、确定段落走向。续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：现在Frank知道这个男人要干什么了。可能Frank猜出这个男子是盗贼。接下来Frank会做什么呢？第二段开头是：Frank不能站在那里干等。他又在等什么呢？很有可能Frank报了案，他认为不能干等着警察来。所以第一段续写Frank报案，第二段Frank接下来采取了什么措施，最后盗贼被擒住。【点睛】本文续写情节合情合理，内容拓展丰富，并且运用了丰富多变的句式：如It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger. 此句运用了it做形式主语；If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office, but it was too late.此句运用了虚拟语气；He had to do something, even if it meant risking his own life.此句运用了让步状语从句为文章增色添彩。
