B Boston Marathon runners in recent years may have seen a smiling furry face around the two-mile mark. It’s Spencer, the therapy (治疗) dog, who became known as an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) for the marathon, He’s shown up on the sidelines every year since 2015—rain or shine. One particularly rainy marathon catapulted Spencer’s fame, In 2018, his owner, Richard Powers, decided to put a bright yellow rain coat on the dog, making him stand out even more than he usually does. Photos of Spencer, who holds a “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth, went viral, and he became an inspiration to runners and onlookers alike, During the marathon, some runners stop in their tracks to take selfies with the dog-the line sometimes growing to 20 runners long. But in 2020, Spencer was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤). His owner was worried, but Spencer is a fighter. He got the care he needed and survived. In 2021, he was back on the course and it was really kind of a miracle and that really hit home to a lot of people. Unfortunately, Spencer caught another tumor—this one cancerous—and Spencer began chemotherapy. Powers didn’t think his beloved dog would make it out to the marathon of 2022. “Miraculously, he’s still here with us and an even bigger miracle, he was strong enough to go to the marathon,” he said. After recovering, Spencer was back to work—not just at the marathon—but as a therapy dog, alongside his companion, Penny, who is also a golden therapy dog. Powers takes his two therapy dogs around to schools, hospitals and senior living centers. “He’s a gift to us and we’re very lucky to have him. He’s too good so we want to share him with as many people as we possibly can. He does make a difference,” Powers said. 24. Why is Spencer referred to as a mascot for Boston Marathon? A. He has a smiling furry face. B. He appears at the event annually. C. He is not recognized officially. D. He works as a therapy dog for runners. 25. What does Spencer bring to runners? A. Motivation. B. Satisfaction. C. Fantasy. D. Barrier. 26. What did Spencer go through in 2020? A. A failure in the marathon. B. Caring for his owner. C. Fighting against a disease. D. Going viral. 27. What was Powers’ initial attitude towards Spence’s appearing at the marathon of 2022? A. Confident, B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Negative. C As founder of the Global Water Policy Project and lead expert for National Geographic’s Freshwater Initiative, Sandra’s goal is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the Earth’s freshwater resources. Sandra says she grew up in New York as a Long Island beach kid. She was always a ware of the “comfort, peace, and balance” offered by the natural world, especially the environments of wetlands and rivers. Before starting work on a project, Sandra considers an area’s “geography of water”: the amount of water in the area’s basin, the population, and the agricultural use of water. The geography of water helps Sandra determine an area’s water stress. Water stress is the situation where a community is using more water than nature made available. Sandra first became aware of the concept of water stress after reading Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark’s book Water for a Starving World. This groundbreaking work linked water use, food and population. As Sandra began to understand water stress, she realized it affects everything, from a community’s development to its political security. “So many great civilizations developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River Valley. Today, Sandra points out, more than 200 rivers are shared between two or more nations. Dams and other river management techniques implemented (实施) by nations upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers have their sources in Turkey, for example, but their basins are in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. River management from Turkey would impact the freshwater available to these countries for drinking, hygiene (卫生), industry, and transportation. Water management has become part of many nations’ foreign policy. Sandra points to the Mekong River Commission. The headwaters of the Mekong River are in China, although the basin is nearly 800,000 square kilometers and includes the nations of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Many governments are members of the Mekong River Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the water supply. 28. What did water mean to Sandra as a child? A. It represented a kind of spirit. B. It caused stress to her life. C. It brought many obstacles to her. D. It offered a way for transportation. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Water stress was perfectly settled. B. Water contributed much to the world culture. C. Water had no impact on the steadiness of a nation. D. Water crisis was recognized before Malin’s book. 30. What inspiration can we get from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers? A. Upstream countries have priorities. B. Every country has its policy for rivers. C. Rivers across countries are decreasing. D. Source governance of rivers is critical. 31. What’s the purpose of the author taking the Mekong River as an example? A. To show its importance to the locals. B. To emphasize its great volume of flow. C. To show the power of cooperation. D. To tell its challenges to related nations. D In the 1960s, anthropologist (人类学家) Jean Briggs set out on a trip to the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Living in an environment cut off from all the usual creature comforts, Briggs survived thanks to the kindness of one Inuit family who took her in to their home. During her time among the Inuit, she came across a surprising phenomenon: Inuit people have an extraordinary ability to control their anger. Briggs documented certain occasions where it might have seemed plausible to fly off the handle. A fishing line that had taken many days to make broke on its first use. The simple response: “Sew it together.” A hot pot of tea that ended up all over the floor of an igloo (冰屋), damaging it, was met with no real acknowledgement. The person who knocked it over just got up and made a new pot. Briggs was left with the burning question of how the Inuit manage to raise such level-headed adults. In a meeting with the elders, it was revealed that the Inuit have a golden parenting rule: “Don’t shout at small children.” One mom, Lisa Ipeelie explained, “When they’re little, it doesn’t help to raise your voice. And this is even the case if a child bites or hits a parent. If a child is turning to this behavior, it’s because there’s an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with, calmly.” Still, you might be wondering how the Inuit get their children to behave, or even to stay safe. Well, it’s thanks to the storytelling tradition in the culture. These stories can be quite frightening. “Our parents told us that if we went out without a hat, the northern lights are going to take our head off,” shared Inuit film producer, Myna Ishulutak. However, psychologist Deena Weisberg believes “kids learn best through stories, which are interesting to them.” Interestingly, she states that stories with a peppering of danger have even more appeal to kids. “If we tell children stories they are in awe of, which help them to behave, they will pass them on to their own families,” she says. 32. Why did Briggs find Inuit people amazing? A. They care little about personal belongings. B. They always keep calm. C. They live comfortably under extreme conditions. D. They treat strangers like family. 33. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Preferable. C. Unacceptable. D. Debatable. 34. What might Ipeelie do if her boy hits her? A. Shout at him. B. Turn to others. C. Find out the reason. D. Beat him. 35. What does Weisberg imply about using scary stories to get kids to behave? A. It improves parent-kid relationships. B. It brings about dangerous behavior. C. It is harmful to kids. D. It should be promoted. 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。 According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children, preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons.___36___ Their upsetting situations could include failing a class. and other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers. ___37___.

Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation. Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face. “Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously. “What is it?” “This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.” “Is the car seriously damaged?” “The left headlight got broken.” “It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard. “Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.” The next morning when Adam got up Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother. After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house. When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired. “I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly. “Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him. After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa. 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。 Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, there came a knock at the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 大庆中学2023-2024学年度高三年级下学期模拟考试 英语试卷 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时,请先将答案划在试卷上。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或转填到答题卡上。 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。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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the speakers do last week?

Over 600 homes were damaged. B. Roads and bridges were shut. C. Some people died. 【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【原文】 On June twelfth 2022 the Yellowstone national park areas weather forecast seemed fairly mild. Warmer temperatures and rain showers would accelerate mountain snow melt and could produce minor flooding. At dusk, after several inches of rain fell, there were record breaking floods. Models used to predict flooding are based on long term and historical records, but they do not reflect changes to the climate that emerged over the past decade, said weather underground founder Jeff masters. Those models are going to be inadequate to deal with a new climate. Another extreme weather event where the models came up short was hurricane Ida, which hit Louisiana last summer. On the same day, the weather service warned of a serious situation that could turn disastrous, but the predicted three to six inches of rain for New York was far short of the nine to ten inches that fell. The deadly June 2021 heat wave that hit the Pacific northwest offered another example. Warmer weather had been expected, but not temperatures of up to 47 degrees Celsius. That broke previous records and killed an estimated 600 people in Oregon, Washington state and western Canada. The surprise Yellowstone floods prompted people to close off roads and bridges. No one died, somewhat unexpectedly as more than 400 homes were damaged or destroyed. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A We look forward to welcoming you to The Met!

It’s Spencer, the therapy (治疗) dog, who became known as an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) for the marathon, He’s shown up on the sidelines every year since 2015—rain or shine. One particularly rainy marathon catapulted Spencer’s fame, In 2018, his owner, Richard Powers, decided to put a bright yellow rain coat on the dog, making him stand out even more than he usually does. Photos of Spencer, who holds a “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth, went viral, and he became an inspiration to runners and onlookers alike, During the marathon, some runners stop in their tracks to take selfies with the dog-the line sometimes growing to 20 runners long. But in 2020, Spencer was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤). His owner was worried, but Spencer is a fighter. He got the care he needed and survived. In 2021, he was back on the course and it was really kind of a miracle and that really hit home to a lot of people. Unfortunately, Spencer caught another tumor—this one cancerous—and Spencer began chemotherapy. Powers didn’t think his beloved dog would make it out to the marathon of 2022. “Miraculously, he’s still here with us and an even bigger miracle, he was strong enough to go to the marathon,” he said. After recovering, Spencer was back to work—not just at the marathon—but as a therapy dog, alongside his companion, Penny, who is also a golden therapy dog. Powers takes his two therapy dogs around to schools, hospitals and senior living centers. “He’s a gift to us and we’re very lucky to have him. He’s too good so we want to share him with as many people as we possibly can. He does make a difference,” Powers said. 24. Why is Spencer referred to as a mascot for Boston Marathon? A.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一只治疗犬Spencer在波士顿马拉松比赛中的角色和影响，同时介绍了其在治疗工作中的表现和对人们的积极影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Boston Marathon runners in recent years may have seen a smiling furry face around the two-mile mark. It’s Spencer, the therapy (治疗) dog, who became known as an unofficial mascot (吉祥物) for the marathon, He’s shown up on the sidelines every year since 2015—rain or shine.(近年来，波士顿马拉松的跑者们可能在跑完两英里时看到了一张微笑的毛茸茸的脸。这是一只名叫斯宾塞的治疗犬，它被称为马拉松比赛的非官方吉祥物。自2015年以来，无论晴雨，它每年都会出现在场边)”可知，因为他每年都出席这个活动，所以斯宾塞被称为波士顿马拉松赛的吉祥物。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Photos of Spencer, who holds a “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth, went viral, and he became an inspiration to runners and onlookers alike, During the marathon, some runners stop in their tracks to take selfies with the dog-the line sometimes growing to 20 runners long.(斯宾塞的照片在网上疯传，他嘴里叼着一面“Boston Strong”的旗帜，他成为了跑步者和旁观者的一种激励。在马拉松比赛期间，一些跑步者在跑道上停下来和狗狗自拍，有时队伍会长到20人)”可知，斯宾塞给跑步者带来了激励。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But in 2020, Spencer was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤).

Sandra says she grew up in New York as a Long Island beach kid. She was always a ware of the “comfort, peace, and balance” offered by the natural world, especially the environments of wetlands and rivers. Before starting work on a project, Sandra considers an area’s “geography of water”: the amount of water in the area’s basin, the population, and the agricultural use of water. The geography of water helps Sandra determine an area’s water stress. Water stress is the situation where a community is using more water than nature made available. Sandra first became aware of the concept of water stress after reading Swedish hydrologist Malin Falkenmark’s book Water for a Starving World. This groundbreaking work linked water use, food and population. As Sandra began to understand water stress, she realized it affects everything, from a community’s development to its political security. “So many great civilizations developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River Valley. Today, Sandra points out, more than 200 rivers are shared between two or more nations. Dams and other river management techniques implemented (实施) by nations upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers have their sources in Turkey, for example, but their basins are in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Syria. River management from Turkey would impact the freshwater available to these countries for drinking, hygiene (卫生), industry, and transportation. Water management has become part of many nations’ foreign policy. Sandra points to the Mekong River Commission. The headwaters of the Mekong River are in China, although the basin is nearly 800,000 square kilometers and includes the nations of Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Many governments are members of the Mekong River Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the water supply. 28. What did water mean to Sandra as a child? A. It represented a kind of spirit. B. It caused stress to her life. C. It brought many obstacles to her. D. It offered a way for transportation. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Water stress was perfectly settled. B. Water contributed much to the world culture. C. Water had no impact on the steadiness of a nation. D. Water crisis was recognized before Malin’s book. 30. What inspiration can we get from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers? A. Upstream countries have priorities. B. Every country has its policy for rivers. C. Rivers across countries are decreasing. D. Source governance of rivers is critical. 31. What’s the purpose of the author taking the Mekong River as an example? A. To show its importance to the locals. B. To emphasize its great volume of flow. C. To show the power of cooperation. D. To tell its challenges to related nations. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了全球水政策项目的创始人和《国家地理》淡水倡议的首席专家Sandra在全球淡水的保护与可持续利用方面所做出的努力。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“She was always a ware of the “comfort, peace, and balance” offered by the natural world, especially the environments of wetlands and rivers.(她一直关注大自然，尤其是湿地和河流环境所提供的“舒适、和平与平衡”)”可推知，水对于孩子时的Sandra来说代表着一种精神。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中““So many great civilizations developed alongside rivers and lakes,” she says, pointing to the ancient civilizations of Ur (between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers), Egypt (which developed on the Nile), and the Indus River Valley. (“许多伟大的文明都是沿着河流和湖泊发展起来的，”她说，她指的是乌尔(底格里斯河和幼发拉底河之间)、埃及(尼罗河上发展起来的)和印度河流域的古代文明)”可知，水在世界文明中起到重要作用。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Dams and other river management techniques implemented (实施) by nations upstream have a huge impact on nations downstream. (上游国家实施的水坝和其他河流管理技术对下游国家产生了巨大影响)”可推知，上游国家对河流的管理非常重要。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。作者在最后一段讲述了湄公河的情况。由文章最后一句“Many governments are members of the Mekong River Commission, which promotes sustainable development of the water supply. (许多政府都是湄公河委员会的成员，该委员会旨在促进水资源供应的可持续发展)”可知，合作治理在提升水供应的可持续发展中发挥了重大作用。由此推知，作者以湄公河为例的目的是展示合作的力量。故选C项。 D In the 1960s, anthropologist (人类学家) Jean Briggs set out on a trip to the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Living in an environment cut off from all the usual creature comforts, Briggs survived thanks to the kindness of one Inuit family who took her in to their home. During her time among the Inuit, she came across a surprising phenomenon: Inuit people have an extraordinary ability to control their anger. Briggs documented certain occasions where it might have seemed plausible to fly off the handle. A fishing line that had taken many days to make broke on its first use. The simple response: “Sew it together.” A hot pot of tea that ended up all over the floor of an igloo (冰屋), damaging it, was met with no real acknowledgement. The person who knocked it over just got up and made a new pot. Briggs was left with the burning question of how the Inuit manage to raise such level-headed adults. In a meeting with the elders, it was revealed that the Inuit have a golden parenting rule: “Don’t shout at small children.” One mom, Lisa Ipeelie explained, “When they’re little, it doesn’t help to raise your voice. And this is even the case if a child bites or hits a parent. If a child is turning to this behavior, it’s because there’s an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with, calmly.” Still, you might be wondering how the Inuit get their children to behave, or even to stay safe. Well, it’s thanks to the storytelling tradition in the culture. These stories can be quite frightening. “Our parents told us that if we went out without a hat, the northern lights are going to take our head off,” shared Inuit film producer, Myna Ishulutak. However, psychologist Deena Weisberg believes “kids learn best through stories, which are interesting to them.” Interestingly, she states that stories with a peppering of danger have even more appeal to kids. “If we tell children stories they are in awe of, which help them to behave, they will pass them on to their own families,” she says. 32. Why did Briggs find Inuit people amazing? A. They care little about personal belongings. B. They always keep calm. C. They live comfortably under extreme conditions. D. They treat strangers like family. 33. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Preferable. C. Unacceptable. D. Debatable. 34. What might Ipeelie do if her boy hits her? A. Shout at him. B. Turn to others. C. Find out the reason. D. Beat him. 35. What does Weisberg imply about using scary stories to get kids to behave? A. It improves parent-kid relationships. B. It brings about dangerous behavior. C. It is harmful to kids. D. It should be promoted. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了因纽特人的育儿方式和他们的故事讲述传统。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“During her time among the Inuit, she came across a surprising phenomenon: Inuit people have an extraordinary ability to control their anger.(在因纽特人的生活中，她发现了一个令人惊讶的现象：因纽特人有一种非凡的控制愤怒的能力。)”以及文章第三段“Briggs was left with the burning question of how the Inuit manage to raise such level-headed adults.( Briggs面临着一个迫切的问题：因纽特人是如何培养出如此头脑冷静的成年人的?)”可知，Briggs对因纽特人总是保持冷静的头脑感到非常神奇。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“A fishing line that had taken many days to make broke on its first use.(一根花了很多天做的鱼线在第一次使用时就断了。)”可知，这些事情都是发脾气的合理的原因。由此可知，划线单词的意思和“合理的、有理由的”相似。选项A“Reasonable (合理的)”；选项B“Preferable (更好的)”；选项C“Unacceptable (无法接受的)”；选项D“Debatable (有争议的)”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“One mom, Lisa Ipeelie explained, “When they’re little, it doesn’t help to raise your voice. And this is even the case if a child bites or hits a parent. If a child is turning to this behavior, it’s because there’s an underlying issue that needs to be dealt with, calmly.”(一位名叫Lisa Ipeelie的妈妈解释说：“当他们还小的时候，提高你的声音是没有用的。甚至当孩子咬或打父母时也是如此。如果一个孩子开始有这种行为，那是因为有一个潜在的问题需要冷静地处理。”)”可知，如果她的儿子打了她，Lisa Ipeelie会找出潜在的问题并冷静地处理。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, psychologist Deena Weisberg believes “kids learn best through stories, which are interesting to them.” Interestingly, she states that stories with a peppering of danger have even more appeal to kids. “If we tell children stories they are in awe of, which help them to behave, they will pass them on to their own families,” she says.(然而，心理学家Deena Weisberg认为“孩子们通过他们感兴趣的故事学习得最好。”有趣的是，她说充满危险的故事对孩子们更有吸引力。她说：“如果我们给孩子们讲他们敬畏的故事，帮助他们养成良好的行为习惯，他们就会把这些故事传给自己的家人。”)”可知，Deena Weisberg认为给孩子们讲他们敬畏的故事，会让孩子们养成了良好的行为习惯。由此可知，Deena Weisberg认为这种方法应该得到推广。故选D。 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。 According to A Guide for Families by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, children, preteens, and teens can lie for varying reasons.___36___ Their upsetting situations could include failing a class. and other struggles with things about themselves or fitting in with their peers. ___37___.

He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation. Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face. “Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously. “What is it?” “This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.” “Is the car seriously damaged?” “The left headlight got broken.” “It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard. “Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.” The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother. After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house. When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired. “I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly. “Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him. After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa. 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。 Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, there came a knock at the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Brook, I’m here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that.” “Oh, I see. But it’s no big deal,” Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, “This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss.” However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it. Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. “Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I’ve come to say sorry for …” Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car.” Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn’t take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在肯德基打暑假工的亚当深夜回家后得知弟弟比尔偷开他的摩托车还把邻居奥斯曼的汽车的左前灯撞坏了，尽管亚当很生气，但是第二天一早带着打工赚的钱就去奥斯曼家道歉，他正要掏钱赔偿时，比尔也来了，奥斯曼很欣赏兄弟俩的诚实，没有收钱，但是接受了他们在他家花园里干点活来补偿他的损失的建议。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“亚当清了清嗓子，开始说话。”可知，第一段可描写亚当为弟弟的过错向奥斯曼道歉，并愿意赔偿，但是奥斯曼认为没有必要赔偿了。 ②由第二段首句内容“正在这时，传来了敲门声。”可知，第二段可描写比尔也来道歉，奥斯曼很欣赏兄弟俩的诚实，坚决不收钱，但是接受了两人在花园里干点活来补偿他的损失的建议。 2.续写线索：亚当道歉并赔偿——奥斯曼拒绝赔偿——比尔上门道歉——奥斯曼欣赏两人的诚实——奥斯曼拒绝接受赔偿但接受帮干园艺活的建议 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.道歉：make an apology/apologize/say sorry ②.取出：draw out/take out ③.拒绝：decline/refuse politely 情绪类 ①.非常抱歉：be awfully sorry/feel most regretful ②.惊慌地：in panic/in alarm 【点睛】[高分句型1].
