2021年1月浙江卷:万圣节南瓜趣事
一、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。
Pumpkin (南瓜）carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My weigh翻译dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage — I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost (最上面), I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.

二、参考范文
Para1
I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer. The pumpkin rested comfortably on my shoulders, not wanting to leave. Fortunately, I’ve always liked the smell of pumpkins. Dad was called and he got me to push my head farther into the pumpkin so J
ason could reach in and undo the rubber band round my ponytail. I managed to pull my head out and emerged with messy hair and my nose plugged with pulp. It was only then that I realized Mom had been filming the whole time.
Para2 
That video was posted the day before Halloween. By the end of that day it had had over 1,000 views, and by Halloween morning we had got phone calls from TV shows — the video started getting hundreds of thousands of supporters. When I walked in the street, I was recognized by people I’d never met. The pumpkin also became a minor celebrity. Passersby and trick-or-treaters would knock and ask to take selfies with it. Though embarrassed, I was satisfied with the happiness and fun that I had brought to others.
三、故事理解
①Pumpkin (南瓜）carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the bi
ggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage — I carried an 85-pounder back last year.
在万圣节雕刻南瓜是一个家庭传统。我们每年十月都去参观当地的一个农场。在南瓜地里，我和我的三个兄弟妹竞争谁的南瓜最大。我爸爸有个规定，我们必须把南瓜带回家，作为老大我有一个优势——去年我带了一个85磅重的南瓜回家。
②This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time.
今年，很难说是我的奖品还是我14岁的弟弟杰森(Jason)选出的奖品获奖。不幸的是，在取出它们的内脏之前，我们忘了称它们的重量，但我决心要证明我的观点。我们所有人都在厨房的餐桌上努力工作，我妈妈在拍摄一年一度的活动。我现在不确定为什么我认为把我的头
塞进南瓜里就能解决问题，但在当时，这似乎是完全有道理的。
③With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost (最上面), I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders.
南瓜放在桌子上，洞口朝上，我弯下腰，把头贴在洞口上。起初，我的眼睛上方被卡住了，然后，当我继续我的任务时，我不愿意放弃，我的鼻子暂时阻止了进入。最后，我把整个头都塞进去了，就像塞进瓶子里的软木塞一样。我把巨大的南瓜放在肩膀上，站直了身子。
④My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around tryi
ng to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space.
