阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his shabby and untidy dog hanging out down there.
I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own “mini farm” of animals! But he would say “OK！” and then blow the idea off because__of our business. Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but its winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man was sitting on a long bench，wrapping himself with an old__brown__coat and even older scarf. Even the dog had a worn-out woolen vest on! Not even thinking more about it, I pulled into the parking lot along__the__canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little dog as well as a cup of hot coffee and a bottle of juice. Looking at all the hot and delicious food and drink, he said, “Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel．” And he was a little moved and I found tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home. When my husband dug into the KFC bag, he asked, “Were you hungry, or what happened？” I told him what I did and he said, “Only you！” Then he told me I had done a good thing. Since there had been nothing left in the KFC bag, we decided to go out to have our dinner. By the time, we wanted to pay our bill, I couldn't find my wallet. I really didn't know where I lost it. Luckily, there was not much money in it, and I forgot it at once.

答案Grammar
Ⅰ.同义句改写
1. in which 2. some of whom 3.of which
4．in which 5.of whom 6.for which 7. of which 8.without which 9.to whom 10. during which
Ⅱ.在空白处填入1个适当的单词
1. whom 前后两分句之间无连词，故不能用人称代词them；of whom即“在46个学生当中”，of表所属关系，故填whom。
2. which 关系词在从句中作介词的宾语，介词与从句动词构成搭配argue about sth，which在这里作介词的宾语。
3．after 此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句。which指代“警察到来”这件事，逗号后面的内容表示“警察来了以后局势变得更稳定”，故填after。
4．where 先行词为this family，所填词在从句中作状语，用where引导定语从句。 5. when
6．whose 此句是一个非限制性定语从句。由短语in one's honour可知用whose引导定语从句，修饰scientist。句意：那位著名的科学家很快就要到了。为了表示对他的敬意，今晚要举行一个宴会。
7．which through which即through the hole, 在定语从句中作状语。
8．which 此处先行词是two novels，后面是一个非限制性定语从句且介词前置，因此用both of which引导。句意：Maria写了两部小说，两部都被拍成了电视剧。
9. on
10．whom 考查“介词＋关系代词”。 for whom＝for the poor old man。for为介词，后面不能用who，也不能用that引导定语从句。
11. why 12. when
13．whom whom引导非限制性定语从句；be devoted to为固定结构。 14. where
15．for 分析句子结构可知，本句是定语从句。根据短语be famous for可知应填for。 Ⅲ.阅读理解

的生平及其作品。
1．D 细节理解题。根据第一段中“…was once a student of St. Paul Academy…In 1917 he joined the army…”可知，弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德先在圣保罗学院学习，然后参军；接下来发生的事情可根据第三段中的“This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920.”得以知道。d对应的时间是1925年左右，e对应的时间是1920年至1929年，菲茨杰拉德酗酒应该是发生在最后。故选D项。
2．C 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“However, Fitzgerald's problems with his wife Zelda had an effect on his writing.”和后面的内容可以判断出C项正确。
3．D 推理判断题。根据人物传记的特点和本文对菲茨杰拉德生活、作品的描述，说明了菲茨杰拉德的作品对文学界的意义，因此接下来的一段应该是关于菲茨杰拉德对文学界的贡献。故选D项。

6．C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“She was an excellent artist who refused to take shortcuts.”和“…‘To make good pottery, you have to do it the right way, the old way.’”可知，她制作的陶器深受人们的喜爱是因为陶器使用了传统的做法。
7．A 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了陶艺家Helen Cordero创作的Storyteller陶器深受人们喜爱的故事。由此可知，A项形象地概括了文章的主旨。

One possible version：
A week later, I was waiting my friend on the bank of the canal. It was much colder, and I was a little impatient. Suddenly, I found somebody waving and calling “angel”to me. I recognized him almost at once, because only he once called me “angel ”. He was walking to me, slowly but excitedly, with his little dog. He asked me whether I lost a wallet when we met last time. I was not sure until he took a wallet carefully from his inside pocket of that old__brown__coat. I nodded and he smiled like a child.
I had a chat with the old man. We were walking along__the__canal and he told me that he found my wallet after I left and guessed it must have been taken out with that bag of food by accident. But he didn't know my name and address and didn't find any clue in the wallet. So he could do nothing but wait here every day, because he believed that I would come one day. Hearing this，I was completely moved and knew who was the real “angel ” !the three old friends were really
going separate__ways．
