地窖脱险
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。
The Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online. So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there?
❷We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed we would wele an additional family member and take care of her.
❸My husband called her our little angel, so we named her accordingly. She had a calm aura (气质) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect panion. Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear. Angelica the calico was courageous.
❹So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too. There was an underground stone cellar (地窖) I had been eager to explore. The only way in was down a rickety (摇晃的) ladder to its murky depths. I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep.
❺I had promised my husband that I wouldn't explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. Though I knew I was stretching it, I figured that Angelica would count as my panion. I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she.
❻I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes, and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above. Faint crack and sudden crash were what I could remember. 注意：

Para 2：It seemed my panion, Angelica, was my last hope. 参考范文1：
I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor. Dizziness swept over me as I figured out that I had toppled off the ladder and fallen back first to the cellar ground. My right foot felt numb and every part of my body ached badly. Things got worse when the old root cellar floated its musty dampness to my nose. Was it my doomsday? Trying hard to get rid of this thought, I used all my might to scream out loud “Help! Help!”. No luck! Feeling freezing cold both physically and mentally, I fumbled for my clothes and accidentally felt the flashlight, which again flared my faith to go out. However, it failed me as always—the flashlight didn’t work due to the hard crash against the ground. In desperation, I decided to give in to my fate when there came a faint purr.
It seemed my panion, Angelica, was my last hope. Just for a glimmer of hope, I looked up to the vent of the cellar, delighted to find my dear Angelica stood still alertly, poking her head out and staring at me from above. “Angelica, go find Jack!” At my request, the calicocolored fur soon disappeared from my sight. It wasn’t long before I heard the hurried approaching footsteps. Eventually, I was rescued! According to Jack, it was Angelica who kept pawing at the door to get his attention and navigated him to where I was. Spontaneously, I pulled her closer to my chest,
extremely grateful for this special Christmas gift who was destined to be our panion and family member. 参考范文2：
I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor. My head was pounding, and I couldn’t seem to focus on my thoughts. I had lost my footing/ missed a step on the third rung (第三级阶梯), and the ladder had given away, sending me crashing to the ground. The pain in my arm was intense, and I knew it was broken. I was trapped, alone, in the dark cellar with no way to climb out. I called out for help, but my voice echoed back to me, hollow and empty. Despair was about to swallow me when there came a faint but familiar mew.
It seemed my panion, Angelica, was my last hope. I prayed that she would realize something was wrong and e to my rescue. Her fearless nature and loyalty gave me a glimmer of hope. Lying in the darkness, I tried to calm my breathing and listened for any other sound from above. Time stood still till hurried footsteps broke the dead silence. It was Angelica and my husband! She had seemingly sensed my situation and led my husband here by pulling his pant with unremitting efforts. Stroking her soft fur, I was convinced that the angel was indeed right by my side. 试题呈现：
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。
Missy was absolutely my best friend in the whole world. We had known each other since first grade, and we literally did everything together. We frequently visited each other’s homes, we knew each other’s families like they were our own. The interesting thing about our relationship, however the fact was that the older we got, the more our values seemed to differ. We still enjoyed a lot of the same things, but I was a bit more settled while she loved being associated with popular people and things. Although she was basically a good person, she had no problem with forcing things to go her way. Perhaps this is why it seemed that her family actually trusted me more than they trusted her. So, on the day when Missy showed up at my house with a huge dent(凹痕) in her father’s car, I knew that we were in for a troublesome time.
She had banged the car into a tree while out that day, and she knew her father was going to have an explanation. So she stopped by my house in order to make up a story that would lessen her father’s rage. Missy decided to tell him that while in a parking lot, someone must have backed into the car and dented it. Looking at the dent with some crashed leaves and bark(树皮) still sticking there, I attempted to perish(打消) her thought. “I don’t think your father will buy it.” “Don’t worry,” she
insisted, “even if my dad doesn’t trust me, he’ll trust you.” My role was to confirm for her. Now keep in mind that I had strong objections to lying and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with the situation. I loved her parents just like my own, and I did not want to be a party to this lie that Missy was creating. Nevertheless, after much request and a general questioning of my loyalty to our friendship, I decided that the least I could do was to act as a silent witness. That way, I wasn’t actually lying; I just wasn’t telling the full truth. 注意：

An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the
inquiry began. He approached the car and had a close look at the dent, after which he threw a questioning look at Sissy, obviously demanding an explanation. With what to say well in mind, she poured out her madeup story in a seemingly honest voice. She
even signalled me to confirm her statement to her father, which immediately invited his attention. He turned to me, looking into my eyes, expecting. I wanted to disclose the whole thing, but the promise I had made to Sissy held me back. After a moment of silence and inner struggle, I simply nodded yes, not daring to look up to meet his eye.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. The disbelief written on his face and in his eyes made me feel thousands of butterflies in my stomach. How I regretted making such a stupid promise to Sissy, not only going against my principle of honesty, but also undermining the trust Sissy’s family had in me. Embarrassing air filled every corner of the room, which made both Sissy and me suffer bitterly. No longer able to stand the annoyance and disbelief in her father’s burning eyes, Sissy finally broke down and tearfully admitted her lying. At this, I heaved a sigh of relief. But whether Sissy would learn a lesson from this and our friendship would last and his father would still trust me, I had no idea. 参考范文：83+104
An hour or so later, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquiry began. Under a barrage of inquiries, Missy recapped her concocted story unhurriedly, while I stood there in silent agreement. After Missy finished her seemingly perfect statement, her father raised his eyebrows and turned to me, waiting for my proof. However, once again, I chose silence under his scrutinizing eyes with my heart pounding violently. Suddenly, he walked over to the dented area for a closer inspection. It was at that point that pieces of bark from the tree that Missy had hit fell out.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. An enormous sense of guilt rose up in me as his cold eyes seemed to proclaim me as the “guilty” bystander. I was so flustered that I wanted to explain but was interrupted by his harsh words, “You guys really failed me! Especially...” Instead of continuing his reproach, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that the precious but fragile
trust had been smashed by my silence. In fact, the process of how we apologized to make amends was just a blur, but the bitter lesson of being a silent acplice was branded on my memory. 考场优秀作品：
An hour or so later, we presented Missy's father with the car and the inquiry began. Though utterly reluctant, I forced myself to narrate the story Missy had made up, including the“unexpected\" scrouge and her asking me for help. Initially Missy’s father stared at her skeptically eyes, glinting with confusion. But the moment he set his eyes on me, those confusion were gushed away Like water into a plughole. He patted my shoulder and said gently,“I trust you and you never tell lie.\" With these words he left to check the dent, leaving me rooted there, chewing over his words. While Missy rejoiced silently, I was pierced to the heart by overwhelming guilt and an inner voice urged me to stick to my morality. Torn between the dilemma, I eventually made honesty my priority and told Missy’s father about the truth.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. Head drooping low, I prepared myself for being condemned and scolded. But what went beyond my expectation was that he just planted a soft kiss on my forehead and forted, \"Being against your principle must have tortured you fairly,\" he stroked my hair, adding “Lets talk to Missy. She was visibly astonished at my giving away the truth, which meant disloyalty. So I could see some anger on her face. But after her father explained the whole process, her irritable expression was mellowed out. Instead of pouring rage on her, Missy’s father softly chatted with her, endowing her with the paramount value of honesty. That erased the misunderstanding between us, dawning on me that sticking to mere honesty, I wasn't a silent witness but an active solver.
