实战演练二:阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
● Most people all over the world travel by the road. In a city in Italy, however, waterways make up
the primary commuting routes. The city of Venice is best known for its canals. Unfortunately, this
beautiful city of flat-bottomed boats (Gondolas), and churches is sinking and sinking fast.
● Known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, Venice is situated on 120 islands formed by canals
between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. And even the bits of firm ground have rather
boggy (泥泞的) foundations and all this slowly getting eroded (腐蚀的).
● The existing ground water table and the global climate changes that have raised sea levels by
several inches, are proving its disaster for the city. As sea-ice melts and water levels rise, floods
in Venice are getting from bad to worse. And buildings are already feeling the impact of this
phenomenon, with their foundations literally being shaken. Take one of the most famous
landmarks of Venice for example, the 900-year-old St. Basilica, now leans slightly to the left.
● Experts warn that the city may sink an additional eight inches in the next 50 years. Many
scared residents have already started to move to drier regions in Italy's mainland. To deal
with the flood threat, a group of Venetians, called the New Venice Consortium, has come
up with “Project Moses”—a dam project named after the biblical figure, Moses. The idea
is to place underwater gates at different points where the Adriatic Sea enters the lagoon
(环礁湖). When the water is low, the gates will remain open and as the water rises, the
gates will close, preventing the seawater from flooding Venice. However, some people
disagree with this idea. Environmentalists point out that the gates would have to remain
closed most of the time and seawater will not be able to move in and out of Venice. As a
result, the lagoon water will become stagnant (停滞的), harming the fish and plants that
live there. Until a viable solution is found out, Venice, it seems, would continue to be
threatened by floods. Truly, a case of being caught between the devil and the deep sea!

“金纲”十二:书写范文
● 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
● Manhattan is the heart of New York City. It is really an island, which is only 13
miles long and 2 miles wide. Seen from the air, it looks like a long finger, and from
the sea, it is just like a picture we often see.
● On Manhattan are some of the most wonderful sights in the New York. What is the
easiest way to see them? First, get a map of New York City, which is often supplied
free at gas stations and tourist offices. You can take a bus tour, but a better way to
see the sights is to walk, and you'll walk with your head thrown back so that you
can look at the tall buildings rising like steep cliffs on both sides of the streets.
● It's not easy to get lost here. The streets of New York from squares are called
blocks. Nearly all the streets are in straight lines, running from east to west. Those
running from north to south are called avenues. Most of the avenues and streets
have only numbers, of which the famous Fifth Avenue is the dividing line between
the east and west in Manhattan.
● And here you'll see the Empire State Building. On the 102nd floor, over 1,400 feet
above the ground, it is possible for you to see the area in which one in ten of all the
people in America live. And from there, you can look down at the other huge
skyscrapers, the United Nations' buildings, the Statue of Liberty in the harbour,
Broadway—the longest street in the world but not the straightest, and the greatest
ships in the world's biggest port.
实战演练三
● 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
● (2020·河北省保定市高一期末统考) Getting up early has been
seen as a good habit since ancient times. Many years ago, people
thought that if we went to bed early and got up early, we would be
energetic(精力充沛的) the whole day. So, getting up early is of great
importance to us all.
● In fact, morning is the best time of a day. In the morning, the
air is the freshest and people are usually in the best condition. Many
of us may have the experiences that we memorize some things more
quickly and correctly in the morning than any other time of the day.
And it is certain that we find it easier to understand what we learn.
● If we get up early and do some morning exercises or only take a short walk in
the morning, without doubt we can build up our bodies and become much healthier.
Also we will have enough time to make a plan and get ready for our work or study
of the day if we get up early. For example, if everyone in the family gets up early,
the wife will have enough time to prepare the breakfast for the whole family,
children will have enough time to catch the school bus, and the husband will never
forget to change his dirty shirt. Everything is in order. However, if we get up late,
we'll probably have to do everything in a hurry.
● Getting up early is such a good habit that we should try our best to keep it.
If we stick to(坚持) getting up early every day, we will certainly benefit a lot from
it.
