B It’s a sunny March afternoon at Winchester Village Elementary School in Indianapolis, and teacher Natasha Cummings is leading her class in a brand new lesson. It’s the first time she’s teaching it and also likely the last. The second graders audibly take a short quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity: They’ll be simulating(a total solar eclipse (日全食) using the real sun, an inflatable globe and a moon made out of a play dough ball mounted on a stick. On April 8, a narrow strip of North America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only the sun’s corona, a ghostly white ring, will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality. The last time that happened was over 800 years ago, and it won’t happen again until 2153. For many of Cummings’ students, this event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cummings hopes learning about and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited about science. It’s an experience she expects them to remember for the rest of their lives. “This is a story you’re gonna be able to tell,” she reflects before class. In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings’ eclipse simulation begins: Students take turns holding the inflatable globes, and casting a shadow with their play dough moons. Cummings directs them to aim the shadow over the spot on the globe where Indianapolis would be. It’s a little chaotic, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon’s shadow over their hometown. Thomas Hockey, a professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa, says he didn’t learn about solar eclipses when he was in grade school. He thinks the fact that elementary school teachers like Cummings are now teaching about them is an indication that science education has improved since he was a child. "Science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s not a magic black box; it’s all around us,” Hockey says. 4. How do the students probably feel when told about the new lesson? A. Frightened. B. Disappointed. C. Astonished. D. Satisfied. 5. Why is Cummings teaching her students about the eclipse? A. To improve their story-telling skills. B. To stir up their passion for science. C. To witness a real total solar eclipse. D. To seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance. 6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The process of the simulation. B. The direction of Cummings. C. The position of the moon. D. The reaction of the students. 7. What does Thomas Hockey suggest people do to learn science? A. Do experiments in lab coats. B. Study hard in elementary school. C. Participate in some magic tricks. D. Experience scientific phenomena. C While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act. Known as All_Aboard, the AI-based app was developed by a team of scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear treatment and research center. It’s made to be used along with a third-party GPS-based online navigational (导航的) map. Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away. Once the sign has been spotted, the app guides the user via sonar-like beeps (哔哔声) which change pitch and speed as the person gets closer to the bus stop. In field tests, 24 legally blind volunteers used both online maps and All _Aboard to locate 20 bus stops—10 in an urban setting and 10 in a suburban environment. When it came to getting close enough to those stops, online maps alone had a success rate of just 52%, whereas All _Aboard boosted the number to 93%. Additionally, while the average distance between the map’s endpoint and the actual bus stop was 6.62 meters with online maps, it was just 1.54 meters with All _Aboard. “Our findings suggest that the All _Aboard app could help travelers with visual impairments (视力受损) in navigation by accurately detecting the bus stop, and therefore greatly reducing their chance of missing buses due to standing too far from the bus stops,” said Massachusetts Eye and Ear’s Assoc. Prof. Gang Luo. “This study indicates that computer vision-based object recognition capabilities can be used in a complementary (补充的) way and provide added benefit to purely mapping-based, macro-navigation services in real-world settings.” 8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight other apps. C. To show the new app’s shortcomings. D. To detailedly compare the new app with others. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The importance of camera in smartphones. B. The potential advantage of the new app. C. How the new app All _ Aboard works. D. Why users get closer to the bus stop. 10. What can we infer about All _ Aboard from the data given in paragraph 5? A. High accuracy. B. Good reputation. C. Perfect property. D. More application. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Blind Users Benefiting From Science B. A New App Is In The Charge Of Its Users C. Online Maps Needing Improvement To The Bus Service D. All _ Aboard Making Navigation Efficient For The Blind D Fresco（湿壁画） refers to painting techniques used on plaster（石膏）. Popular during the Renaissance period, especially in Italy, frescoes were usually used to decorate walls of public buildings. The purest type of fresco painting, also known as "buon fresco", involves mixing pigments（颜料） directly with wet plaster. The color is thus actually part of the material, rather than a coating on top of it. The colors of a buon fresco are especially vibrant and long-lasting; the Bull-Leaping Fresco in Knossos, Crete was created around the 17th-15th centuries BCE, but the colors are still clear today. However, this technique is not without its unique disadvantages. For one thing, colors look different when they are wet than when they are dry. Artists of the time typically mixed their own plaster and color mixtures, working quickly to finish a part of a mural（壁画） before the plaster dried. The mixture they created the next time might have been a slightly different shade. If you look carefully at the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel, you can see which parts must have been completed in a single session by the faint differences in colors. Fresco secco requires something to be added to the paint to make it stick to the dry plaster. This technique is sometimes used to repair a buon fresco that has been damaged, although the colors are generally not as bright. However, some colors actually worked better with fresco secco. During the Renaissance period, the available pigments for creating blue did not mix well with wet plaster; for this reason, skies, water, and blue clothing sometimes were painted as fresco secco after the buon fresco had dried. In 1997, the frescoes by Giotto di Bondone in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy were damaged in an earthquake. 150 restorers spent five years gathering 60,000 pieces that they could find and set them back into place, much like a puzzle, although about 35 percent of the frescoes remains incomplete. 12. What does the underlined word "vibrant" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Bright. B. Simple. C. Watery. D. Rare. 13 What does the author want to show by mentioning the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel? A. It was in Italy that true fresco was widely used. B. It is crucial to differentiate varied painting styles. C. It took time for painters to create their unique colors. D. It was hard to create the exactly same color every time. 14. What makes creating buon frescon differ from creating fresco secco? A. The limited choice of themes. B. The amount of water in plaster. C. The time of creating. D. The cost of pigments. 15. Which can best describe the repair process of Giotto's frescoes? A. Slow but creative. B. Complicated and dangerous. C. Time-consuming and laborious. D. Discouraging but money-saving. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Deal with Academic Failure Experiencing failure in academic settings is inevitable in your journey to study.

His eyes were widened with excitement, and he chattered non-stop about the sea creatures we would see, the sharks, the dolphins... We boarded the bus, and after a few stops, we made ourselves comfortably seated. David gazed out the window, watching the world go by with wonder. The bus continued its route, and with each stop, it became increasingly crowded. Passengers of varying ages and backgrounds filled the seats. David and I were engaged in a light-hearted conversation about marine life, our anticipation and joy building with each passing minute. As we approached a mid-route bus stop, an elderly lady boarded, her movements labored and her legs visibly unsteady. The bus was full, and for a moment, there was an obvious hesitation among the passengers, each perhaps weighing the social morals against their own comfort. The elderly lady seized her walking aid, swaying slightly with each lurch of the vehicle. Noticing the elderly lady’s struggle, David made a decision. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rose from his seat. His small hand gestured towards the elderly lady. “You can sit here, ma'am,” he said, his voice clear and sincere. The elderly lady’s face transformed with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. “Oh, thank you, boy,” she said, her voice filling up with emotion. David then took her hand gently, helping her navigate through the crowd to the seat he had left for her. With the help of David, the lady eased herself into the seat, her relief evident. I felt pride welling up within me as I watched what David had done. Looking at David, who was standing now, I saw not just the playful child he was known to be, but the empathetic and considerate young man he was growing into. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the bus rolled on, it was filled with renewed warmth among the passengers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as we returned home, I couldn’t help but reflect on the true treasure of the day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1—5 CACBB 6—10 BCBAC 11—15 ABACC 16—20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年高二下学期第三次月考 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

It’s the first time she’s teaching it and also likely the last. The second graders audibly take a short quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity: They’ll be simulating(a total solar eclipse (日全食) using the real sun, an inflatable globe and a moon made out of a play dough ball mounted on a stick. On April 8, a narrow strip of North America will experience a total solar eclipse, in which the moon entirely covers the sun, darkening the sky so that only the sun’s corona, a ghostly white ring, will be visible. Indianapolis is one of several cities in the path of totality. The last time that happened was over 800 years ago, and it won’t happen again until 2153. For many of Cummings’ students, this event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Cummings hopes learning about and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited about science. It’s an experience she expects them to remember for the rest of their lives. “This is a story you’re gonna be able to tell,” she reflects before class. In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings’ eclipse simulation begins: Students take turns holding the inflatable globes, and casting a shadow with their play dough moons. Cummings directs them to aim the shadow over the spot on the globe where Indianapolis would be. It’s a little chaotic, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon’s shadow over their hometown. Thomas Hockey, a professor of astronomy at the University of Northern Iowa, says he didn’t learn about solar eclipses when he was in grade school. He thinks the fact that elementary school teachers like Cummings are now teaching about them is an indication that science education has improved since he was a child. "Science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s not a magic black box; it’s all around us,” Hockey says. 4. How do the students probably feel when told about the new lesson? A. Frightened. B. Disappointed. C. Astonished. D. Satisfied. 5. Why is Cummings teaching her students about the eclipse? A. To improve their story-telling skills. B. To stir up their passion for science. C. To witness a real total solar eclipse. D. To seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance. 6. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. The process of the simulation. B. The direction of Cummings. C. The position of the moon. D. The reaction of the students. 7. What does Thomas Hockey suggest people do to learn science? A. Do experiments in lab coats. B. Study hard in elementary school. C. Participate in some magic tricks. D. Experience scientific phenomena. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了在印第安纳波利斯的温彻斯特小学，老师Natasha Cummings为了让学生们理解日全食的现象，设计了一次模拟日全食的活动，希望通过这种方式激发学生们对科学的兴趣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The second graders audibly take a short quick breath when Cummings explains the day’s activity”（当Cummings解释当天的活动时，二年级学生可以听到急促的呼吸声）可知，学生们对新课程感到惊讶。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Cummings hopes learning about and witnessing the eclipse will inspire her students, and get them excited about science.”（Cummings希望学习和观察日食会激发她的学生，让他们对科学感到兴奋）可推知，Cummings教授日食的目的是激发学生们对科学的热情。故选B。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In a grassy area outside the school, Cummings’ eclipse simulation begins: Students take turns holding the inflatable globes, and casting a shadow with their play dough moons.

It’s a little chaotic, but the students quickly figure out how to properly position the moon’s shadow over their hometown.”（在学校外面的一片草地上，卡明斯的日食模拟开始了:学生们轮流拿着充气地球仪，用他们的橡皮泥月亮投下阴影。卡明斯指示他们将阴影对准地球上印第安纳波利斯所在的位置。这有点混乱，但学生们很快就弄清楚了如何正确地定位月亮的阴影在他们家乡的位置。）可知，第三段主要描述了模拟日全食的过程。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Science is not done by old, gray-haired people in lab coats, necessarily. Citizens can participate in it. It’s not a magic black box; it’s all around us,” Hockey says.”（科学并不一定是由老年人、灰发人在实验室里做的。公民可以参与其中。它不是一个神秘的黑盒子；它就在我们周围，”Hockey说。）可知，Hockey建议人们通过体验科学现象来学习科学。故选D。 C While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act. Known as All_Aboard, the AI-based app was developed by a team of scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear treatment and research center. It’s made to be used along with a third-party GPS-based online navigational (导航的) map. Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away. Once the sign has been spotted, the app guides the user via sonar-like beeps (哔哔声) which change pitch and speed as the person gets closer to the bus stop. In field tests, 24 legally blind volunteers used both online maps and All _Aboard to locate 20 bus stops—10 in an urban setting and 10 in a suburban environment. When it came to getting close enough to those stops, online maps alone had a success rate of just 52%, whereas All _Aboard boosted the number to 93%. Additionally, while the average distance between the map’s endpoint and the actual bus stop was 6.62 meters with online maps, it was just 1.54 meters with All _Aboard. “Our findings suggest that the All _Aboard app could help travelers with visual impairments (视力受损) in navigation by accurately detecting the bus stop, and therefore greatly reducing their chance of missing buses due to standing too far from the bus stops,” said Massachusetts Eye and Ear’s Assoc. Prof. Gang Luo. “This study indicates that computer vision-based object recognition capabilities can be used in a complementary (补充的) way and provide added benefit to purely mapping-based, macro-navigation services in real-world settings.” 8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight other apps. C. To show the new app’s shortcomings. D. To detailedly compare the new app with others. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The importance of camera in smartphones. B. The potential advantage of the new app. C. How the new app All _ Aboard works. D. Why users get closer to the bus stop. 10. What can we infer about All _ Aboard from the data given in paragraph 5? A. High accuracy. B. Good reputation. C. Perfect property. D. More application. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Blind Users Benefiting From Science B. A New App Is In The Charge Of Its Users C. Online Maps Needing Improvement To The Bus Service D. All _ Aboard Making Navigation Efficient For The Blind 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为All_Aboard的应用程序，这款应用通过智能手机的摄像头和AI技术，帮助视力受损的用户更准确地找到公交车站的位置。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act.(虽然已经有一些应用程序可以引导盲人用户找到公交车站的大致位置，但这些人可能会在不知情的情况下站得离实际的车站太远。一款新的应用程序可以让智能手机的摄像头拍摄到这一过程，从而弥补了这一缺陷。)”，可知，本段提到虽然已经有应用程序可以引导盲人用户到达公交车站的大致位置，但这些用户可能会在不知不觉中站得离实际站点太远。这为文章想要解决的问题设定了背景和情境，随后在下一段中介绍了新的应用程序All_Aboard。因此，段落1的目的是引入文章的主题。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away.

Popular during the Renaissance period, especially in Italy, frescoes were usually used to decorate walls of public buildings. The purest type of fresco painting, also known as "buon fresco", involves mixing pigments（颜料） directly with wet plaster. The color is thus actually part of the material, rather than a coating on top of it. The colors of a buon fresco are especially vibrant and long-lasting; the Bull-Leaping Fresco in Knossos, Crete was created around the 17th-15th centuries BCE, but the colors are still clear today. However, this technique is not without its unique disadvantages. For one thing, colors look different when they are wet than when they are dry. Artists of the time typically mixed their own plaster and color mixtures, working quickly to finish a part of a mural（壁画） before the plaster dried. The mixture they created the next time might have been a slightly different shade. If you look carefully at the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel, you can see which parts must have been completed in a single session by the faint differences in colors. Fresco secco requires something to be added to the paint to make it stick to the dry plaster. This technique is sometimes used to repair a buon fresco that has been damaged, although the colors are generally not as bright. However, some colors actually worked better with fresco secco. During the Renaissance period, the available pigments for creating blue did not mix well with wet plaster; for this reason, skies, water, and blue clothing sometimes were painted as fresco secco after the buon fresco had dried. In 1997, the frescoes by Giotto di Bondone in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy were damaged in an earthquake. 150 restorers spent five years gathering 60,000 pieces that they could find and set them back into place, much like a puzzle, although about 35 percent of the frescoes remains incomplete. 12. What does the underlined word "vibrant" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Bright. B. Simple. C. Watery. D. Rare. 13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel? A. It was in Italy that true fresco was widely used. B. It is crucial to differentiate varied painting styles. C. It took time for painters to create their unique colors. D. It was hard to create the exactly same color every time. 14. What makes creating buon frescon differ from creating fresco secco? A. The limited choice of themes. B. The amount of water in plaster. C. The time of creating. D. The cost of pigments. 15. Which can best describe the repair process of Giotto's frescoes? A. Slow but creative. B. Complicated and dangerous. C. Time-consuming and laborious. D. Discouraging but money-saving. 【答案】12 A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了湿壁画的两种技术。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的描述“The colors of a buon fresco are especially … and long-lasting; the Bull-Leaping Fresco in Knossos, Crete was created around the 17th-15th centuries BCE, but the colors are still clear today.（buon fresco的颜色特别……且持久；克里特岛克诺索斯的公牛跳跃壁画创作于公元前17-15世纪，但颜色至今仍清晰可见。）”可知，下文说的是克里特岛克诺索斯的公牛跳跃壁画的颜色至今仍清晰可见，可推理出“vibrant”的含义为：颜色明亮、生动，故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的描述“For one thing, colors look different when they are wet than when they are dry. Artists of the time typically mixed their own plaster and color mixtures, working quickly to finish a part of a mural（壁画） before the plaster dried. The mixture they created the next time might have been a slightly different shade. If you look carefully at the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel, you can see which parts must have been completed in a single session by the faint differences in colors.（一方面，颜色湿的时候和干的时候看起来不同。当时的艺术家通常会自己混合石膏和颜料混合物，迅速完成壁画的一部分，以免石膏干透。他们下次混合的混合物可能会有稍微不同的阴影。如果你仔细看看西斯廷教堂的壁画，你可以通过颜色的细微差别看出哪些部分一定是一次性完成的。）”可以推断，作者提到西斯廷教堂的壁画是为了展示每次创造完全相同的颜色是多么困难，故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的描述“The purest type of fresco painting, also known as "buon fresco", involves mixing pigments（颜料） directly with wet plaster.（最纯粹的壁画类型，也称为“buon fresco”，涉及将颜料直接与湿石膏混合。）”以及第三段的描述“Fresco secco requires something to be added to the paint to make it stick to the dry plaster.（Fresco secco需要在油漆中添加一些东西使其粘附在干石膏上。）”可知，创建buon fresco将颜料直接与湿石膏混合，而创建fresco secco需要在油漆中添加一些东西使其粘附在干石膏上，可推理出它们不同之处在于石膏中的水分量，故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的描述“In 1997, the frescoes by Giotto di Bondone in the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy were damaged in an earthquake. 150 restorers spent five years gathering 60,000 pieces that they could find and set them back into place, much like a puzzle, although about 35 percent of the frescoes remains incomplete.（1997年，意大利阿西西圣弗朗西斯大教堂的Giotto di Bondone壁画在一场地震中受损。150名修复者花了五年时间收集了他们能找到的60,000片碎片，并将它们重新拼凑起来，就像拼图一样，尽管大约35%的壁画仍然不完整。）”可知，150名修复者花了五年时间收集碎片，可以推断，Giotto壁画的修复过程是耗时且费力的，故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Deal with Academic Failure Experiencing failure in academic settings is inevitable in your journey to study.

His eyes were widened with excitement, and he chattered non-stop about the sea creatures we would see, the sharks, the dolphins... We boarded the bus, and after a few stops, we made ourselves comfortably seated. David gazed out the window, watching the world go by with wonder. The bus continued its route, and with each stop, it became increasingly crowded. Passengers of varying ages and backgrounds filled the seats. David and I were engaged in a light-hearted conversation about marine life, our anticipation and joy building with each passing minute. As we approached a mid-route bus stop, an elderly lady boarded, her movements labored and her legs visibly unsteady. The bus was full, and for a moment, there was an obvious hesitation among the passengers, each perhaps weighing the social morals against their own comfort. The elderly lady seized her walking aid, swaying slightly with each lurch of the vehicle. Noticing the elderly lady’s struggle, David made a decision. Without a moment’s hesitation, he rose from his seat. His small hand gestured towards the elderly lady. “You can sit here, ma'am,” he said, his voice clear and sincere. The elderly lady’s face transformed with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. “Oh, thank you, boy,” she said, her voice filling up with emotion. David then took her hand gently, helping her navigate through the crowd to the seat he had left for her. With the help of David, the lady eased herself into the seat, her relief evident. I felt pride welling up within me as I watched what David had done. Looking at David, who was standing now, I saw not just the playful child he was known to be, but the empathetic and considerate young man he was growing into. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the bus rolled on, it was filled with renewed warmth among the passengers. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That evening, as we returned home, I couldn’t help but reflect on the true treasure of the day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： As the bus rolled on, it was filled with renewed warmth among the passengers. David, who was standing by the window now, caught other passengers’ attention due to his kindness towards the old lady. The passengers, who had been sitting quietly around David and absorbed in their own world, began to express words of compliment and smiles of encouragement to David. It was as if a single act had broken the ice, sparking a chain reaction of goodwill. Upon reaching the aquarium, David and I waved goodbye to the passengers, making our way to explore the marine world. That evening, as we returned home, I couldn't help but reflect on the true treasure of the day. It wasn’t the sharks or the dolphins that left me the deepest impression, but the character of my son, which shone as brightly as any sea creature we had seen. David’s act of kindness on the bus had not only made the elderly lady’s journey more comfortable but had also reminded us that the future is in good hands with next generation like him leading the way. It was a day when my son, David, showed the world the true meaning of kindness, which made me really happy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者和儿子大卫在乘公交车去水族馆的途中，儿子主动给一位老妇人让座的故事，儿子的举动感动了车厢上的众人，也让作者为儿子的成长感到自豪。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着公共汽车的继续行驶，乘客们又重新充满了热情。”可知，第一段可描写大卫的举动对乘客们的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，当我们回到家时，我不禁想起了这一天真正值得珍惜的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者从儿子善意的举动中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：乘公交去水族馆——老妇人上车——主动让座——表达感谢——影响众人——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①吸引注意力：catch one’s attention/draw one’sattention/grab one’s attention ②激起：spark/stir/arouse ③到达：reach/get to/arrive at 情绪类 ①赞扬：compliment/praise ②开心：happy/delgihted 【点睛】[高分句型1]David, who was standing by the window now, caught other passengers’ attention due to his kindness towards the old lady. （运用了由关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]It wasn’t the sharks or the dolphins that left me the deepest impression, but the character of my son, which shone as brightly as any sea creature we had seen. （运用了强调句及which引导的非限制性定语从句） 听力：1—5 CACBB 6—10 BCBAC 11—15 ABACC 16—20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
