星空的梦想者：Catalina的天文之路

——高考英语读后续写复习题

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Every night as the whole family fell asleep, Catalina would slide from home to the Cerro Tololo observatory (天文台). Papa was the mechanic (修理工) of the observatory, but during the day Papa would not allow her to get closer to the

telescopes there. Only at night, Catalina was allowed in with the permission of the night staff.

Catalina loved helping to service the grand telescopes, the eyes that looked out into the universe. She wanted badly

to be an astronomer someday. Adults never took her dream seriously. Even her father laughed, “Maybe you’ll be hired to

clean the offices.”

One day in library, Catalina was reading a plant journal when she stopped at the picture of an unusual white flower.

“It’s called wild carrot. “ A Spanish astronomer, who she saw several times in the observatory, stood behind her. “Pretty,

isn’t it? I’ve always liked that flower, because it looks like a galaxy.”

“A spiral galaxy (漩涡星系),” she whispered. Blond eyebrows climbed the scientist’s forehead. “Indeed. And what

is your name, young lady?” he asked.

”I’m Catalina Solis.”

“Eduardo Solis’s daughter? The mechanic?”

“Yes.” She gave a look at him. “I want to be an astronomer when I grow up.”

He laughed kindly, no longer meeting her eyes, and patted her on the shoulder. “Yes, of course, my dear. Work hard

in school, and it could happen.”

One evening, Catalina eye scanned the top of the observatory as usual. Suddenly she noticed the angle of the

one-meter telescope was unusual. The telescope was pointed down, lower than she had ever seen it. Catalina learned

from I Papa how dangerous it would be. If left like it was, the telescope would move past its limit and be damaged. So

without hesitation she got inside the observatory.

情节分析

本故事讲述了一个名叫Catalina的女孩，她的父亲是Cerro Tololo天文台的机械师。每天晚上，当整个家庭入睡时，Catalina会偷偷溜出家门去天文台。白天，她的父亲不允许她靠近天文台的望远镜，只有在夜间，在夜班人员的许可下，Catalina才被允许进入天文台。

Catalina热衷于帮助维护那些观察宇宙的大型望远镜，她渴望有朝一日成为一名天文学家。然而，成年人从不认真对待她的梦想，甚至连她的父亲都笑话她说：“也许你将被雇来打扫办公室。”

一天，在图书馆里，Catalina正在看一本植物杂志，她停在一张不寻常的白花朵的图片上。“这是野胡萝卜。”一个她在天文台见过几次的西班牙天文学家站在她的后面说道，“漂亮，不是吗？我一直很喜欢这朵花，因为它看起来像一个星系。”

“一个螺旋星系（漩涡星系），”她低声说道。科学家的金眉毛掀起。“确实如此。你叫什么名字，小姑娘？”他问道。

“我叫Catalina Solis。”

“Eduardo Solis的女儿？那个机械师？”

“是的。”她看着他。“我长大后想成为一名天文学家。”

他友善地笑了笑，不再看着她的眼睛，轻拍了一下她的肩膀。“是的，当然，亲爱的。在学校努力学习，你的梦想可能会实现。”

有一天晚上，Catalina像往常一样环顾天文台的顶部。突然，她注意到一米望远镜的角度很不寻常。望远镜指向下方，比她以往见过的更低。Catalina从父亲那里了解到这样做是非常危险的。如果保持原样，望远镜将超出其限制并受到损坏。因此，她毫不犹豫地进入了天文台。

续写思路

Paragraph 1：

在这段中，首句内容“她看到那位西班牙科学家埋头工作。”可知，第一段可描写卡塔琳娜给西班牙科学家帮忙。

Paragraph 2：

在这段中，首句内容“这位科学家的话对她来说意义重大。”可知，第二段可描写科学家的话最终激励卡塔琳娜成为天文学家。

参考答案

She saw the Spanish scientist buried in work there. Catalina walked over to him and greeted him with a smile. To her surprise, he handed her a notebook and asked, “Would you like to help me record the data from the telescope?”Overwhelmed by excitement, Catalina nodded and began to assist the astronomer. The night passed quickly as they worked together, recording and analyzing the observations. Catalina couldn’t believe that she was working with a real astro

nomer, contributing to the scientific research she had always dreamed of.

The scientist’s words meant a lot to her. “Work hard in school, and it could happen.” Catalina took these words to heart and worked diligently every day. She was determined to become an astronomer one day and nothing would stop her. Years passed, and after graduating from college, Catalina applied for a job at the Cerro Tololo observatory. To her

delight, she was hired as an assistant astronomer, working alongside the same scientist who had encouraged her all those years ago. Finally, her childhood dream had become a reality, and Catalina knew that nothing was impossible as long

as she kept chasing her dreams.

她看到那位西班牙科学家埋头工作。Catalina走到他跟前，微笑着向他打招呼。令她惊讶的是，他递给她一个笔记本，问道：“你想帮我记录望远镜的数据吗？”Catalina兴奋得不知所措，点了点头，开始帮助这位天文学家。他们一起工作，记录和分析观测数据，夜晚很快就过去了。Catalina简直不敢相信自己正在与一位真正的天文学家共事，为她一直以来梦寐以求的科学研究做出贡献。

这位科学家的话对她来说意义重大。“在学校努力学习，你的梦想可能会实现。”Catalina将这些话铭记在心，并每天勤奋学习。她决心有一天成为一名天文学家，无论遇到什么困难，她都不会止步不前。几年过去了，大学毕业后，Catalina申请了Cerro Tololo天文台的一份工作。令她高兴的是，她被聘为助理天文学家，与多年前鼓励过她的那位科学家一起工作。终于，她童年时的梦想成为现实，Catalina知道只要她坚持追逐梦想，没有什么是不可能的。
