河北省沧州市南皮县2024年中考二模英语试题
Last Sunday, Mark's grandma invited him to her pottery studio (陶器工作室). He was excited, because Grandma didn't give her other grandsons such an invitation.
As soon as Mark stepped into the studio, he began to look forward to putting his hands into some wet clay (粘土) and placing his bowl into the hot kiln (窑). "Be careful with that," Grandma said as Mark picked up one of her bowls. The boy carefully put the bowl back on the table. Then Grandma showed him some of her bowls and asked him to make one himself. Mark started happily.
However, five hours later, Mark was sad. His first bowl, a blue one, looked more like a rock. His second bowl, a red one, was hardly any better. "I'll never make it!" Mark said angrily, looking at his work.
Hearing this, Grandma stopped what she was doing and went to Mark. After seeing what he had made, she said, "Don't worry. You just need to be more patient." She sat next to Mark and helped him with his work. About one and a half hours later, they finished making a beautiful yellow bowl together.
Mark was happy when he looked at his work. "Thanks," he said to Grandma. Grandma looked at him and smiled. "You're great. Remember not to give up easily no matter what you do in the future," she said. Mark said he would follow Grandma's words.
A sock is a wonderful thing. It can warm a foot. That's for sure. Better yet, it can be made into different creatures. Let's see how. ① Put your hand into a sock. Your fingers and thumb are in the "toe" part. The back of your wrist is in the "heel" part. ② Make a slit(切口) in the sock between your thumb and fingers for your puppet's mouth. ③ Cut two ovals(椭圆形), one of poster board and one of fabric(织物). ④ Stick the fabric oval to the poster board oval with white glue. ⑤ Once the glue is dried, fold them in half.
⑥ Sew(缝) the folded oval into your sock. Now, your puppet can talk. What your puppet becomes depends on you. Think of how to make eyes, hair, ears, hats, beards, noses, ties, shirts and dressers for your puppet. |
