At 8 pm every first Monday. B. At 4 pm every other Saturday. C. At 7 pm every first Wednesday. D. At 9 pm every other Monday. 22. What do we know about Sistergirls and Freedom Fighters? A It lasts two hours. B. It is organized by Emily. C. It is a prize-winning performance. D. It celebrates women’s achievements. 23. What do Green Light Series and Family Saturdays have in common? A Activity types. B. Event frequency. C. Target participants. D. Registration requirements. B I used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul. The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything. That belief changed. In an ordinary math class, my teacher posed a simple question: What’s 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number? Easy. When rounded to the nearest whole number, 0.99 =1. Somehow, I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1, there’s still a 0. 01 difference. That means even if two things are only a little different, they are still different, so doesn’t that make them completely different? My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation (等式): 1= 0.9, which could also be expressed as 1=0. 99999… repeating itself without ever ending. There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign. Lying in bed, I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence. The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities, and endless opportunities into the open future. So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out. Still, we can’t ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it. So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can. For now, let’s leave it at that: 1= 0. 99999. . . and live a life like it. 24. What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1? A. Their wide variety. B. Their literary origins. C. Their expressive power. D. Their distinct sounds. 25. What made the author find the equation fascinating? A. The repetition of a number. B. The difference between the two numbers. C. The question the teacher raised. D. The way two different numbers are equal. 26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “paralleled” in paragraph 6? A. Measured. B. Composed. C. Mirrored. D. Influenced. 27. What does the author think of “1= 0. 9” ? A. They reveal the meaning of life. B. They are reliable in expressing ideas. C. They are useful in learning maths. D. They give limited possibilities. C During space missions, astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone. Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times. What did they find through comparison of the pictures? Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging. The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors. “Inereasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist. “With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss—and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.” 28. Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times? A. To offer evidence for their predictions. B. To show their respect for the astronauts. C. To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones. D. To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts. 29. Which of the following may Gabel agree with? A. A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts. B. Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older. C. Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise. D. There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones. 30. What can we conclude from this text? A. People on Earth never suffer bone loss. B. The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts. C. The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights. D. Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How to prevent bone loss in space. B. Problems faced by astronauts in space. C. Astronauts’ suffering from bone loss in space. D. Astronauts’ contributions to the development of science. D The innovation is part of research into brain-computer interfaces (接口) to help improve the lives of people with motor disabilities. The researchers included machine learning capabilities with their brain-computer interface, making it a one-size-fits-all solution. Typically, these devices require extensive adjustment for each user- every brain is different, both for healthy and disabled users- and that has been a major hurdle to mainstream adoption. This new solution can quickly understand the needs of an individual subject and self-adjust through repetition. That means multiple patients could use the device without needing to tune it to the individual. In a clinical setting, the subjects wear a cap packed with electrodes (电极) that is connected to a computer. The electrodes gather data by measuring electrical signals from the brain, and the decoder translates the brain signals into commands, which are used to control devices or applications. In this case, the decoded signals are translated into actions in a car racing game and a simpler task involving balancing a digital bar. Subjects were trained simultaneously for both the simpler bar game and the more complex car racing game, thus improving their brain function. The researchers call this work foundational, in that it sets the stage for further brain-computer interface innovation. This project used 18 subjects with no motor disabilities. As they continue down this road, they will test this on people with motor disabilities to apply it to larger groups in clinical settings. “To achieve this, we need to improve our technology to make it easier to use,’ Millan. a professor in the University of Texas says. On the side of translating the research, Millan and his team continue to work on a wheelchair that users can drive with the brain- computer interface. At the South by Southwest Conference and Festivals this month, the researchers showed off another potential use of the technology. controlling two rehabilitation (康复) robots for the hand and arm. This was not part of the new paper but a sign of where this technology could go in the future. “We’ll continue down this path wherever it takes us in the pursuit of helping people.” Millan says. 32. Who will benefit the most from the Brain-Computer Interface innovation? A. People with physical disabilities. B. Businessmen selling wheelchairs. C. Students seeking academic improvement. D. Athletes seeking performance enhancement. 33. What is the main advantage of the new solution? A. Faster adjustment process. B. Decreased need for tuning. C Improved mainstream adoption. D. Quick understanding of commands. 34. What is the function of electrodes? A. Translating signals. B. Measuring brain signals. C. Controlling devices. D. Enhancing brain function. 35. What is the probable focus of Millan and his team’s future work? A. Exploring hand and arm rehabilitation. B Showcasing technology at conferences. C. Translating and publishing research papers. D. Enhancing brain- computer interface technology. 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. ____36____ I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it is OK to be different from others and to study things like classics, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities (人文学科)! The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract.____37____ Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective (视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persuasively with closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth!____38____ STEM(science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it.____39____ Produce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills? ____40____ The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Stick to your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think. A. So one will not obtain any practical skills. B. How often do you communicate with others? C. How much progress can you make in a certain time? D. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. E. If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. F. The number of students majoring in the humanities has declined by about half. G. With a broader perspective, we will be more open-minded and less limited in what we can become! 第三节 完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) In 1980, Foley was a new nurse, working the night shift in a maternity ward (产房).

When Jamy wouldn’t share what was going on, his parents decided to visit he school principal and his teacher Callum, hoping they could offer some insight. After talking with Jamy’s classmates, the principal and his parents heard a story they weren’t expecting. Although Jamy never talked about it, his classmates told them that he always came to school without food. The principal and his parents were shocked. No wonder Jamy was always so hungry after school! Was there something happening on the way to school that Jamy didn’t tell them? To make the situation clear, the principal asked Jamy’s teacher, Callum to talk to Jamy in private. During the conversation with the teacher, Jamy refused to say any further details about the situation, leaving everyone frustrated and helpless. And despite multiple questioning, Jamy still refused to say any knowledge of the situation. This left the principal and the teacher so confused that they were at a loss what to do. Jamy’s parents were becoming increasingly concerned as their child continued to come home from school without saying a word about it. They hadn’t gotten any closer to uncovering the truth about why Jamy was always so hungry. The lack of communication from their child only added to their frustration and helplessness. They knew they needed to take action to get to the bottom of the problem, but they had no idea where to start, which puzzled Jamy’s parents. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, by accident, Jamy’s father found a thank-you note from his study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jamy’s parents were touched by Jamy’s act of kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 信阳高中北湖校区2023-2024学年高一下期05月测试（二） 英语试题 分值：150分 时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名，班级，考号等信息 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上 一、单词汉译英、英译汉(共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分) 汉译英 1. g________adj. 全球的；全世界的 2. a________adv. 每年；一年一度地 3. m________n. 大多数 4. d________v. 消失，不见 5. o________adj. 普通的；平常的 6. c________adj. 当前的，现在的 7. f________adj. 以前的，从前的 8. o________vt. 克服（困难）；控制情感 9. s________n. 继续生存，幸存 10. p________n. 建议，提议 【答案】1. global 2. annually 3. majority 4. disappear 5. ordinary 6. current 7. former 8. overcome 9. survival 10. proposal 【解析】 【1题详解】 结合首字母提示，“全球的；全世界的”的英文表达是形容词global。故译为global。 【2题详解】 结合首字母提示，“每年；一年一度地”的英文表达是副词annually。故译为annually。 【3题详解】 结合首字母提示，“大多数”英文表达是名词majority。故译为majority。 【4题详解】 结合首字母提示，“消失，不见”的英文表达是名词disappear。故译为disappear。 【5题详解】 结合首字母提示，“普通的；平常的”的英文表达是形容词ordinary。故译为ordinary。 【6题详解】 结合首字母提示，“当前的，现在的”的英文表达是形容词current。故译为current。 【7题详解】 结合首字母提示，“以前的，从前的”的英文表达是形容词former。故译为former。 【8题详解】 结合首字母提示，“克服（困难）；控制情感”的英文表达是及物动词overcome。故译为overcome。 【9题详解】 结合首字母提示，“继续生存，幸存”的英文表达是名词survival。故译为survival。 【10题详解】 结合首字母提示，“建议，提议”的英文表达是名词proposal。故译为proposal。 英译汉 11. solution n.________ 12. bother vi&vt.________ 13. firm adj.________ 14. involve vt.________ 15. profit n.________ 16. contented adj.________ 17. determination n.________ 18. slim adj.________ 19. destination n.________ 20. indicate vt.________ 【答案】11. 解决办法 12. 费心，麻烦 13. 实的；稳固的 14. 参与；包含 15. 盈利，利润 16. 满意的，满足的 17. 决心；毅力 18. 微小的；苗条的；薄的 19. 目的地；终点 20. 表明；显示 【解析】 【11题详解】 solution是名词，中文意思是“解决办法”。故译为：解决办法。 【12题详解】 bother是动词，可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词，中文意思是“费心，麻烦”。故译为：费心，麻烦。 【13题详解】 firm是形容词，中文意思是“实的；稳固的”。故译为：实的；稳固的。 【14题详解】 involve是及物动词，中文意思是“参与；包含”。故译为：参与；包含。 【15题详解】 profit是名词，中文意思是“盈利，利润”。故译为：盈利，利润。 【16题详解】 contented是形容词，中文意思是“满意的，满足的”。故译为：满意的，满足的。 【17题详解】 determination是名词，中文意思是“决心；毅力”。故译为：决心；毅力。 【18题详解】 slim是形容词，中文意思是“微小的；苗条的；薄的”。故译为：微小的；苗条的；薄的。 【19题详解】 destination是名词，中文意思是“目的地；终点”。故译为：目的地；终点。 【20题详解】 indicate是及物动词，中文意思是“表明；显示”。故译为：表明；显示。 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A Green Line Performing Arts Center Upcoming Programs: First Monday Jazz Series: Crosswind Monday Feb 4 | 7-9 pm First Monday Jazz is a free monthly event showcasing local Chicago jazz artists.

They give limited possibilities. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要讲述了作者通过一个数学等式，从而对生活有了新的理解和认识，认为数字也可以像文字一样表达思想。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The literary works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world. Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves. Words were everything.(文学作品包含了如此独特的故事，它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题，以及这些问题本身的答案。文字就是一切)”可知，在第一段作者主要强调了语言的表达力量，故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation. The left side was unchangeable, objective: it contained a number that ended. On the right was something endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, somehow, these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.(这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西，数字无限重复。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了)”可知，作者觉得这个等式很迷人，因为数字虽然不同，但是却被等号连接起来了。由此推知，让作者觉得这个等式迷人的是两个不同的数相等的方式。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear. The concrete, whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die. But then there is that gap in between life and death.(等式的左边表示有时候生命本身是如此的不可改变，如此的清晰。你出生的日期和你死亡的日期的具体整数。但是生与死之间有一段距离)”可知，作者躺在床上思考的是这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似，划线词paralleled的意思是“与……十分相似”，和mirrored意思相近，故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out.(这就是生活。客观但富有想象力。不变却无限。生活是一个有两面的等式，它会自我平衡)”可知，作者认为“1=0.9”揭示了生活的意义。故选A。 C During space missions astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone. Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times. What did they find through comparison of the pictures? Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging. The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors. “Inereasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist. “With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss—and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.” 28. Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times? A. To offer evidence for their predictions. B. To show their respect for the astronauts. C. To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones. D. To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts. 29. Which of the following may Gabel agree with? A. A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts. B. Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older. C. Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise. D. There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones. 30. What can we conclude from this text? A. People on Earth never suffer bone loss. B. The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts. C. The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights. D. Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. How to prevent bone loss in space. B. Problems faced by astronauts in space. C. Astronauts’ suffering from bone loss in space. D. Astronauts’ contributions to the development of science. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新研究发现宇航员在太空中骨质会流失。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times.(研究人员在宇航员从太空返回地球的六个月和一年后分别对这些骨头拍摄了三次照片。从这些照片中，加贝尔的团队计算出宇航员在每个时间的骨骼强度和密度。)”可知，研究人员对宇航员从太空返回地球后的不同时间段的骨头拍摄了三次照片，进而对宇航员每个时间的骨骼强度和密度进行计算，结合第三段中的“What did they find through comparison of the pictures?(通过对比图片，他们发现了什么?)”可知，研究人员对这些图片进行比对来发现宇航员骨骼的变化，由此可知，研究团队选取不同时间拍摄的照片是为了比较宇航员骨骼的变化。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. (小臂骨几乎没有损失。加贝尔解释说，这很可能是因为在地球上时小臂不用承重。)”可知，加贝尔应该同意“小臂骨几乎没有什么变化”这一观点。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.(幸运的是，一项新的研究发现，回到地球一年后，受影响的骨骼中失去的力量有一半得到了重建。)”可知，一项新的研究发现，宇航员们回到地球之后受影响的骨骼有所修复，因此这对宇航员来说应该是一个好消息。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“During space missions, astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.(在执行太空任务期间，宇航员可能会失去骨骼中的一些内部结构支撑。对于持续至少六个月的太空旅行来说，这种损失相当于大约20年的老化。幸运的是，一项新的研究发现，回到地球一年后，受影响的骨骼中失去的力量有一半得到了重建。)”可知，宇航员在执行太空任务时会市区骨骼中的一些内部结构支撑，在太空持续至少六个月的宇航员来说，这种损失相当于老化了20年，但新研究发现，这些损失会在回到地球一年后，有一半的损失得到修复，结合下文中对该研究的分析可知，本文主要围绕着一项新的研究展开，这项研究表明，宇航员在太空中骨质会流失。故选C项。 D The innovation is part of research into brain-computer interfaces (接口) to help improve the lives of people with motor disabilities. The researchers included machine learning capabilities with their brain-computer interface, making it a one-size-fits-all solution. Typically, these devices require extensive adjustment for each user- every brain is different, both for healthy and disabled users- and that has been a major hurdle to mainstream adoption. This new solution can quickly understand the needs of an individual subject and self-adjust through repetition. That means multiple patients could use the device without needing to tune it to the individual. In a clinical setting, the subjects wear a cap packed with electrodes (电极) that is connected to a computer. The electrodes gather data by measuring electrical signals from the brain, and the decoder translates the brain signals into commands, which are used to control devices or applications. In this case, the decoded signals are translated into actions in a car racing game and a simpler task involving balancing a digital bar. Subjects were trained simultaneously for both the simpler bar game and the more complex car racing game, thus improving their brain function. The researchers call this work foundational, in that it sets the stage for further brain-computer interface innovation. This project used 18 subjects with no motor disabilities. As they continue down this road, they will test this on people with motor disabilities to apply it to larger groups in clinical settings. “To achieve this, we need to improve our technology to make it easier to use,’ Millan. a professor in the University of Texas says. On the side of translating the research, Millan and his team continue to work on a wheelchair that users can drive with the brain- computer interface. At the South by Southwest Conference and Festivals this month, the researchers showed off another potential use of the technology. controlling two rehabilitation (康复) robots for the hand and arm. This was not part of the new paper but a sign of where this technology could go in the future. “We’ll continue down this path wherever it takes us in the pursuit of helping people.” Millan says. 32. Who will benefit the most from the Brain-Computer Interface innovation? A. People with physical disabilities. B. Businessmen selling wheelchairs. C. Students seeking academic improvement. D. Athletes seeking performance enhancement. 33. What is the main advantage of the new solution? A. Faster adjustment process. B. Decreased need for tuning. C. Improved mainstream adoption. D. Quick understanding of commands. 34. What is the function of electrodes? A. Translating signals. B. Measuring brain signals. C Controlling devices. D. Enhancing brain function. 35. What is the probable focus of Millan and his team’s future work? A. Exploring hand and arm rehabilitation. B. Showcasing technology at conferences. C. Translating and publishing research papers. D. Enhancing brain- computer interface technology. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35.

When Jamy wouldn’t share what was going on, his parents decided to visit he school principal and his teacher Callum, hoping they could offer some insight. After talking with Jamy’s classmates, the principal and his parents heard a story they weren’t expecting. Although Jamy never talked about it, his classmates told them that he always came to school without food. The principal and his parents were shocked. No wonder Jamy was always so hungry after school! Was there something happening on the way to school that Jamy didn’t tell them? To make the situation clear, the principal asked Jamy’s teacher, Callum to talk to Jamy in private. During the conversation with the teacher, Jamy refused to say any further details about the situation, leaving everyone frustrated and helpless. And despite multiple questioning, Jamy still refused to say any knowledge of the situation. This left the principal and the teacher so confused that they were at a loss what to do. Jamy’s parents were becoming increasingly concerned as their child continued to come home from school without saying a word about it. They hadn’t gotten any closer to uncovering the truth about why Jamy was always so hungry. The lack of communication from their child only added to their frustration and helplessness. They knew they needed to take action to get to the bottom of the problem, but they had no idea where to start, which puzzled Jamy’s parents. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, by accident, Jamy’s father found a thank-you note from his study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jamy’s parents were touched by Jamy’s act of kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One day, by accident, Jamy’s father found a thank-you note from his study.

All his family members also praised him for his being so kind, brave and generous. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫Jamy的小男孩，每天从学校回到家总是饿得非常厉害，但是他坚决不说原因，所以父母和学校沟通，经调查得知，他总是不吃饭就到学校。路上发生了什么？Jamy就是不说出来。直到有一天父亲发现一封感谢信，才揭开了秘密。原来Jamy把自己的饭餐让给了一个贫穷的小孩，那孩子写给他一封感谢信，父母被他的善举感动了，后来就给他准备两盒饭。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，偶然的机会，Jamy的父亲从他的书房里发现了一封感谢信。”可知，第一段可描写父亲发现了真相，Jamy把饭餐给了贫穷的孩子。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jamy的父母被Jamy的善举感动了。”可知，第二段可描写父母对Jamy表示肯定，并且妥善解决这个问题。 2.续写线索：发现事实——给予——感谢——被善举感动——表扬——解决问题 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①. 给予：give/provide ②. 照顾：look after/take care of 情绪类 ①. 感谢：be grateful/show his gratitude ②. 为……感到骄傲：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
