This remarkable image could soon be the reality for drivers on one of California’s busiest roads, as the world’s largest wildlife overpass （跨线桥） begins construction in April. The history-making project will comprise a green bridge built across the 101 highway near Los Angeles, creating a passage between two parts of the Santa Monica Mountains. The overpass will allow safe passage for lizards, snakes, mountain lions, etc with an acre of local plants on either side and vegetated sound walls to dampen light and noise for night-time animals as they go across. The project, nearly a decade in the making, comes at a crucial time. Beth Pratt, a conservation leader with the National Wildlife Federation, feels as if she is running the last mile of a marathon. Pratt has spent most of the last decade planning the project, persuading transportation officials of its importance, and bringing donors to fund it. 刷阅读理解 2 The project is breaking records in many ways: Not only is it the largest crossing in the world, but it’s also an engineering wonder. Robert Rock, a landscape architect who led the design, says this nature-centred type of construction makes it unusual among other wildlife bridges and underpasses around the world, which are typically made of cement （水泥） and steel. This one is designed to integrate into the environment on both sides—and send a message to the people driving below. About 300,000 cars pass through this area each day, and Pratt calls it an opportunity for millions of Angelenos to see how humans can live more harmoniously with nature.“Someone could be in rush-hour traffic, and there could be a mountain lion right above them,” she says.“I think that’s such a helpful image, and one that inspires me that we can right some of these great wrongs.” 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界上最大的野生动物跨线桥开始建造，并介绍了它的设计特点以及建筑意义。 1.Why is the overpass built?( ) B A.To attract visitors to watch the wildlife.

D.To allow more traffic during rush hours. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的The overpass will allow safe passage for lizards, snakes, mountain lions, etc… for night-time animals as they go across.可知，建这座跨线桥的目的是帮助动物过高速公路。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 4 2.What does Pratt think of the overpass project?( ) A A.It is a long journey. B.It comes a little late. C.It has little official support. D.It has brought economic benefits. 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的Beth Pratt, a conservation leader with the National Wildlife Federation, feels as if she is running the last mile of a marathon. Pratt has spent most of the last decade planning the project可知，普拉特为这个项目努力了十年，她感觉自己像在跑马拉松一样。由此可推知，她认为该项目是一个漫长的过程。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 5 3.What does the author try to stress about the overpass by mentioning Robert Rock?( ) A A.It stands out among similar structures. B.It does harm to the local environment. C.It has got little attention from engineers. D.It has inspired the construction of overpasses worldwide. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，负责该项目的建筑设计师罗伯特·罗克认为，这座桥创造了新的世界纪录，相比于传统的供野生动物通过的桥梁和地下通道而言，这座桥与自然融为一体。由此可推断，作者提到罗伯特·罗克是想强调这座跨线桥的设计在众多相似的建筑物中十分突出。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 6 4.What might Pratt expect of the overpass?( ) C A.It’ll transform the image of the state. B.It’ll provide pleasant habitats for animals. C.It’ll be a reminder for people to care about nature. D.It’ll create job opportunities for the local people. 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Pratt calls it an opportunity for millions of Angelenos to see how humans can live more harmoniously with nature和 “I think that’s such a helpful image, and one that inspires me that we can right some of these great wrongs.” 可知，普拉特认为这座跨线桥能够作为人与自然和谐共处的典范，让更多人认识到爱护自然的重要性。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 7 长难句分析 句意：主导这项设计的景观建筑师罗伯特·罗克说，这种以自然为中心的建筑类型与世界上其他通常由水泥和钢铁建造的供野生动物通过的桥梁和地下通道不同。 刷阅读理解 8 [辽宁锦州2024高二期末] The question “Who am I?” can bring on a series of thoughts, emotions, and feelings, but what if you don’t know how to answer? 1. .

I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs. My mum had a wonderful idea, however, to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. “You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living,” my mum suggested brightly. “I’m sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often, would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs.” I immediately thought this was a great idea. One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs. Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs, but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes. 刷读后续写 30 My mum called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform. In the coming days, I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy, including many old classics. When the much-anticipated day finally arrived, my family and I drove to Carriage House. Walking through the enormous double doors, we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room. Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it had been just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit. At nearly every table several grey-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided. Despite the conversations going on at various tables, isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room. Almost immediately, we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House. She welcomed me and led me to the stage. 刷读后续写 31 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 刷读后续写 32 【写作提示】 1.材料导读 材料大意 本文讲述了作者喜欢弹钢琴，也非常喜欢演奏自己的歌曲。她已经为年度冬季独奏会准备了很长时间，但独奏会被取消了，作者感到很失望。作者的妈妈提议带作者去养老院为孤独的老年人表演，作者欣然同意。作者的妈妈联系了养老院，并安排好了演出事宜。表演当天，作者的妈妈带着作者前去养老院，作者上台准备开始表演时，意外发生了。 故事背景 独奏会取消后，作者给养老院的老年人们表演弹奏钢琴。 主要角色 作者（热爱弹钢琴）、作者的妈妈（冷静且富有智慧） 写作顺序 时间顺序 需要解决的问题 作者上台表演时，意外发生了，钢琴突然发不出声音。 刷读后续写 33 2.续写分析 续写第一段（提示句：当我坐在长凳上时，我按下了钢琴的一个键，令我惊讶的是我没有听到任何声音。） 由上文内容和本段提示句可知，本段应该描写作者上台后发生的事；结合第二段的提示句可知，本段中应该重点描写作者如何克服自己的紧张情绪、如何解决钢琴没有声音的问题并将表演进行下去，可以围绕作者的心理活动和感受来展开描写。 续写第二段（提示句：紧张的情绪渐渐消失了，我开始喜欢上了和老人一起表演。） 根据第一段提示句和本段提示句可知，本段应该描写问题解决后，作者开始投入表演，可以围绕观众对表演的反应、表演的过程和作者内心的感悟来展开描写。 情感变化 作者：演出时钢琴出问题，紧张不已——老人鼓励——紧张消失——融入音乐——感悟 刷读后续写 34 3.提分词句 ①心理描写：awkward/be struck dead with embarrassment、nervous/be on pins and needles; ②动作描写：make one’s way to、take a deep breath、dance to the music （跟着音乐跳舞）、sway to the beat of the music （随着音乐的节奏晃动）、tap one’s feet （某人用脚打节拍）; ③其他：scattered applause （零散的掌声）、end up with （以……结束）、a storm of applause （雷鸣般的掌声）等。 刷读后续写 35 【参考范文】 As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound.

One woman got up and began to dance to the music. Some of the people swayed in their chairs to the beat of the music while others tapped their feet. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. It seemed that the cancellation of the recital was not a bad thing, which allowed me to share the gift of music with those who needed it most. 刷读后续写 37 核心词汇 1.remarkable adj. 非凡的；不寻常的；显著的 2.comprise vt. 包括；由……组成；构成 3.crucial adj. 至关重要的；关键性的 4.integrate vi. & vt.（使）融入；（使）合并 5.bring on 使发展；导致 6.acknowledge vt. 承认 进阶词汇 1.vegetated adj. 植被覆盖的 3.aspiration n. 渴望；抱负；志向 3.incorporate vt. 将……包含在内；包含 刷读后续写 38 $$
