[对应学生用书P538] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·福州质量检测)During the summer of 2021，Beverly Wax had an experience that filled her with awe. It was the sight of her son，Justin，dragging a 36­kilogram portable air conditioner upstairs. Beverly's central air conditioning had stopped working in the middle of a 32℃ heat wave. She had mentioned to her son and he'd shown up as a surprise. As she watched him sweat and struggle while fixing it，she felt a wave of gratitude and appreciation. Awe is that feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks. Often，it challenges or expands our thinking. Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress and increase overall satisfaction. It can also help our relationships，making us feel more sympathetic and less greedy，more supported by and more likely to help others. Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful: nature，music or a spiritual experience. But people can bring about awe，and not just public heroes. Often，this interpersonal awe is a response to life's big，sweeping changes. We can be awed by our nearest and dearest—the people sitting next to us on the sofa，or chatting on the phone. But it happens in smaller moments，too. John Bargh，a psychologist，said he was truly awestruck by his then­five­year­old daughter. When she heard another child crying，she grabbed her toy，walked over to the boy and handed it to him. Unfortunately，we can't make someone else behave in a way that's awesome. But we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do—and take steps to boost the emotion's positive effects. [语篇解读]　说明文。文章主要介绍了研究表明敬畏会让我们感觉得更好。 1．Why does the writer tell Beverly's story?

But these days，parts of France are laying claim to this tradition. From the Cte Basque to the arenas of Arles and Beziers，it has spread to towns where bullfighting has long been banned，and been embraced with such enthusiasm you'd think the sport had been born there. The rising passion for blood and sand has been resisted by animal­rights activists. Last month someone set off a bomb near the bullring in Carcassonne. Yet France's enthusiasts fiercely defend their right to these moral rituals. Bullfighting，they insist，is part of the heritage，an expression of a shared regional culture that should be protected. The rest of the Continent should take note. The paradox (自相矛盾) of an ever­more­united Europe is that as borders between member states become less important，so do the nations themselves and regional identities are valued. It's easy to forget that most European nation­states were created as we know them only during the 19th century，after a long series of bloody conflicts. “If the chances of war had been a little different，all the regions sharing bullfight might have been together，” argues Jean Michel Mariou，a huge fan of bullfighting. “On both sides of the Pyrenees there are Basques，there are Catalans，there are common cultures，” he says. “Bullfighting is only one expression of it.” Bullfighting isn't the only cultural tradition that has begun to go beyond borders，of course. To name but one other: the Celtic revival，built largely around musical groups along the coast of Ireland，Scotland and Cornwall，Brittany and Normandy. But while bagpipes (风笛) may stir the blood，they don't spill it. And the violence of bullfighting horrifies many people who don't feel they share in its culture. “The concept of lasting local tradition doesn't mean anything anymore，” says Josyane Wuerelle，coordinator of the Federation de Liasions Anti­Corrida in Agde. “Bullfighting is about attracting tourists，not honoring local history，” she argues. Robert Marge doesn't see it that way，of course. He recently declined an invitation to organize a bullfighting in Paris's enormous Stade de France. “We didn't want to sell our souls by bringing bullfight to a region where it doesn't exist，” he explains. But he has also got the sense to know that some traditions don't travel well. [语篇解读]　说明文。文章主要说明了对世界上很多地方来说，斗牛一直是伊比利亚独有的。但如今，法国的部分地区正在坚持这一传统。但因此引发了一场关于斗牛运动的论战，文章说明了不同的人对此的不同看法。 5．What can we learn about bullfighting from the first two paragraphs? A．It is legal in France. B．It will boom tourism in France. C．It has become popular in France. D．It is part of the heritage of France. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“From the Cte Basque to the arenas of Arles and Beziers，it has spread to towns where bullfighting has long been banned，and been embraced with such enthusiasm you'd think the sport had been born there.”可知，斗牛的传统已传播到对这项活动禁止了很长时间的一些城市，也就是说斗牛在法国越来越盛行。 6．What can we infer according to Jean Michel Mariou? A．Shared cultures could bring people together. B．The continent of Europe is more united than ever. C．Bullfighting is a popular culture in many regions. D．Regions sharing bullfight were separated by wars. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据第三段中“If the chances of war had been a little different，all the regions sharing bullfight might have been together.”可推知，共享斗牛的地区被战争分开了。 7．Why did Robert Marge refuse to organize a bullfight in Paris? A．It ignores animal rights. B．It honors local tradition. C．It is intended for money. D．It is too violent for Paris. 解析　B　推理判断题。根据第五段“‘We didn't want to sell our souls by bringing bullfight to a region where it doesn't exist，’ he explains. But he has also got the sense to know that some traditions don't travel well.”可推知，Robert Marge拒绝在巴黎组织斗牛是出于尊重当地的传统的原因。 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Fight over Bullfight B．Culture or Violence C．Bullfight and Tourism D．Passion for Blood and Sand 解析　A　主旨大意题。根据第二段及通读全文可知，本文主要说明了对世界上很多地方来说，斗牛一直是伊比利亚独有的。但如今，法国的部分地区正在坚持这一传统。但因此引发了一场关于斗牛运动的论战，文章说明了不同的人对此的不同看法。由此可知，A选项“斗牛大战”最符合文章标题。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五 Some signs of sleep deprivation (匮乏) like dark circles under your eyes might be noticeable，but others can fly under the radar. __1__ You don't have energy.

[语篇解读]　应用文。文章介绍了一些睡眠不足引起的不太明显的迹象。 1．解析　F　上文“Some signs of sleep deprivation (匮乏) like dark circles under your eyes might be noticeable，but others can fly under the radar.”提到一些缺乏睡眠的迹象不太明显，F项承接上文，说明这些迹象也表明睡眠不足，句中“These signs”照应上文“others”，同时指代下文中提到的4种迹象。 2．解析　G　根据下文“This practice could actually be what's keeping you up at night.”可知，设空句会提到一种让你难以入眠的行为，结合常识，G项中“a late afternoon coffee to pick yourself up”就是这样的行为，上下文语意连贯。 3．解析　D　段首小标题“You find it difficult to concentrate.”提出注意力不集中是睡眠不足的迹象之一，D项与下文“Science has shown that it's harder to focus，pay attention and make decisions when you're sleep deprived.”对此作出进一步解释，说明睡眠不足和很难集中注意力之间的关系。 4．解析　A　设空句是段首小标题。根据下文可知，本段主要讲睡眠不足会影响健康状况，所以A项“Your medical issues are worsening or developing”是睡眠不足的迹象之一，是最佳小标题。 5．解析　E　根据小标题“You feel moody，depressed or angry.”可知，睡眠不足会影响情绪。上文“you can easily get upset.”指出睡眠不足会让人心烦意乱，E项与上文是并列关系，进一步说明睡眠不足对情绪造成的影响，上下文语意连贯。 Ⅲ.读后续写 (2024·淄博一模)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。 It was Christmastime 1974.I was ten years old，but I was not looking forward to Christmas. The previous spring my mother had moved our family from rural Alabama to sunny Southern California. My little brother Todd，and I were leaving behind all of our extended family. This would be my first Christmas away from Alabama. I was a fat，awkward child with a high­pitched voice and a heavy southern accent. My first day at my new school，I went to the front of my fourth grade class to introduce myself. All I said was my name and where I was from. The class burst into laughter with jeers of “He talks funny”. It took the teacher two minutes to restore order. I was so disappointed that I went to a gas station after school and used the phone booth (亭子) there to place a call to my grandmother. I was going to ask her whether I could return to Alabama and live with her and whether she would send me the money for a bus ticket home. But the line was busy，and despite several attempts，I didn't get through. My Granny was everything good about Christmas. Her language of love was food. She would spend weeks cooking for Christmas Eve when all of her children and grandchildren would gather at her house. Every favorite dish dessert and cakes was made. Her table and sideboard groaned (发吱嘎声) under the weight of the food. My cousins，my brother and I would burst through her backdoor，our arrival announced by the rhyme of five silver bells，which hung on the door. Her house was tiny but to us children，it was glorious. She sewed new night dresses for all of her grandchildren. She searched catalogs，newspaper advertisements，and stores all over town to get us exactly the toys we had requested. She was my comfort. She was magical. I missed her desperately. Fortunately，there was only one week left before the Christmas break. I was longing for my familiar southern Christmas. 注意：续写的词数应为150左右。 The next morning，a large enough package from Granny was delivered to our new house. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Just then the phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 The next morning，a large enough package from Granny was delivered to our new house. It was too heavy for us to carry into the living room. To our surprise，it was large enough to hold a small refrigerator. Todd and I were anxious to know what it contained. We couldn't wait to tear the box，delighted to discover mounds of homemade Christmas treats，presents wrapped in decorative paper，and neatly folded pajamas for each of us. As each gift came out，we shrieked with excitement. The box seemed bottomless and the smell of our Granny's house was filling the air. Just then the phone rang. It was Granny. Todd and I chatted happily with her for nearly half an hour，a warm current rising. She asked us about school and assured us we had received the package. She did it in such a way that we both thought we were her favorite. For me，it was the highlight of Christmas. My granny packaged and shipped magic and love. She came to rescue me，softening my anxiety and lightening my life as well. 【导语】　本文以时间为线索展开。作者十岁那年和妈妈一起离开了家乡，对亲人的思念和无法融入新的环境使得作者非常失落，在这一年的圣诞节，奶奶从家乡寄来了一个很大的包裹，里面是给作者和弟弟的各种礼物，奶奶也打来了电话，这让作者感到了宽慰和幸福。 【详解】　 1．段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，奶奶给我们的新家送来了一个很大的包裹。”可知，第一段可描写奶奶送来的包裹里包含的丰富的东西。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在这时，电话铃响了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和奶奶聊了很久，感到非常温暖和宽慰。 2．续写线索：搬运包裹—查看—惊喜—聊天—确认—宽慰。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
