You may be inspired to exercise and stay in shape. The good news is that there are apps to help you. Paprika Paprika is an app to help users plan meals, shop and cook. You can save recipes from websites and from other apps to Paprika. The app can help keep track of the foods you have in your home so when you go shopping, you know what you need to buy. MealBoard MealBoard is another app that can suggest recipes and help you plan meals. This app can suggest recipes based on the food you already have in your home. MealBoard can keep a list of what food you have and what you need to buy. This app can scan bar codes to add items to your list. Using this app, you can also note the expiration dates (失效期), so you know when your food is no longer usable. MealBoard lets users save recipes from websites and then search them by foods used in the recipes. For example, you can search for recipes that have “chocolate” in them. IEatWell The IEatWell app supports healthy eating by giving users rewards for eating the night foods. If you like earning rewards for meeting your goals, IEat Well may work well for you. Instead of measuring how much you eat. IEatWell measures how well you eat. Tell the app what you are eating for your meal. You can even add a photo. The app will rate how healthy your meal is, and then give you a reward if you are eating well. 1. What do the apps Paprika and MealBoard have in common? A. They can scan bar codes. B. They can let you know what you need to buy. C. They can keep a record of the meals you eat outside. D. They can tell if the food has passed the expiration dates. 2.

A A science report. B. A cooking recipe. C. A health blog. D. A medical journal. B Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River, continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the now. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves.” said Brennan. The journey is a minimalist style: sleeping bag, small tent, rain jacket, change of clothes, first aid kit, apples and cheese sticks. When she’s thirsty, she scoops water from the rivers and pumps it through a filter. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the bald eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating array of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and eat a cheeseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa (夏尔巴人) with benefits,” Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but rarely calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder that sends them her location every 10minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age. When going through rough rapids, she watches the weather carefully. She is cautious about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her gear and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe. Surely, she is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. 4. What can be learned about Cathy Brennan from paragraph 1? A. She seeks inner peace. B. She is bad at being calm. C. She is fond of travelling. D. She is tired of everyday housework. 5. Why does Brennan regard her husband as “virtual Sherpa with benefits”? A. Because he keeps track of her. B. Because he contacts her with calls and texts. C. Because he accompanies her on the river. D. Because he arranges the route for her. 6. What does the underlined word “reckless” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Prepared. B. Fearless. C. Thoughtless. D. Ambitious. 7. How is Brennan’s kayak trip according to the passage? A. Odd and instructive. B. Romantic and thrilling C. Costly and relaxing D. Tough and rewarding. C If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this rule, it means that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help find abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might show signs of some diseases. A new study shows that analysis of a city’s wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample (取样) all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor (监测) everything from drug use to diet and even mental health. Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This new approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to look for and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria and parasites. By monitoring the genetic material of these pathogens (致病菌) in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive. It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially he detected (查明) in wastewater. But for wastewater surveillance to fulfil its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear. 8. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show some signs of physical illness. B. To introduce a method of detecting diseases. C. To explain the importance of diet to health. D. To present the value of studying bodily waste. 9. What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance? A. It serves more purposes. B. It requires less effort to do. C. It protects residents’ privacy. D. It needs little professional knowledge. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The development of wastewater surveillance. B. The means of wastewater testing for poor areas. C. The application of wastewater in disease detection. D. The potential of wastewater in discovering dangerous goods. 11 What is the author’s attitude towards wastewater surveillance? A. Doubtful. B. Careful. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. D Much like our guts (内脏), cities too have various types of microorganisms (微生物) that grow in the environment. And, much like analyzing the microorganisms in our guts can show important details about our physical condition, doing the same thing with a city’s microorganisms can help us understand data on the kinds of bacteria and other small life forms that are living alongside urban people. While it’s possible to use human researchers to collect data on a city’s microorganisms, that kind of field research can be costly, difficult, and time-consuming. In 2010, honeybees in Brooklyn visited a nearby cherry factory, producing bright-red honey. This caused researchers to examine what other things New York’s honeybees were bringing back to their hives. It struck the researchers that this might be an easier way to collect microorganisms than to search for them on subway poles or sidewalks. So in a new study, researchers decided to seek help from the honeybee, which spends its days exploring cities all over the world, to learn about the urban microenvironments. The team analyzed hive debris (碎片) from around the world and had some interesting findings. In Sydney, the hive debris showed DNA from microorganisms that can break down rubber, while in Melbourne, a significant amount of DNA from eucalyptus, a kind of tree originally from Australia, appeared at the bottom of hives. And the hive debris from Venice had microorganisms commonly found in rotting wood. The analysis of Tokyo hives not only found DNA from local unique microorganisms, but also showed the presence of a microorganism that can cause disease among humans. This finding led the team to believe that using bees to learn about urban environments might be a great way to track the spread of human diseases. While the study is still at the initial stage and it remains to be seen whether honeybees will help scientists find diseases or help city planners make cities greener one day, the insects’ great promise as little research helpers is obvious. 12. What does the author want to express in the first paragraph? A. The significance of studying microorganisms in cities. B. The role of small life forms in urban ecosystems. C. The relationship between microorganisms and human health. D. The similarities of microorganisms in our guts and those in cities. 13. Why did researchers turn to honeybees for help? A. They are skilled at exploring remote places. B. They are willing to be close to human researchers. C. They can collect cities’ microorganisms in a productive way. D. They have a natural talent for recognizing microorganisms. 14. What does the new study find out? A. Bees in Venice primarily feed on rotting wood. B. Hive debris from diverse places has unique DNA material. C. Bees in Melbourne have the ability to break down rubber. D. Bees exhibit different living habits based on their living places. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Honeybees Can Help Analyze DNA from Microorganisms B. Microorganisms are Significant to Human Health C. Honeybees Reveal Urban Microorganisms through Hive Debris D. Urban Microenvironment’s Richness is Beyond our Imagination 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most smartphones allow you to run location­sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.

As the older child at home, Daniel was a good help to his mother, cleaning the room and caring for his younger brother, Tony. On a cold winter morning Debbie asked the kids to go to the supermarket for some groceries. A toy panda on the she If caught Tony’s eyes. It was so adorable that he could hardly tear himself away from it. Knowing that they couldn’t afford it, Daniel told his brother to put it back. But Tony really wanted it and was unwilling to leave. “Please, I can wait until Mom’s salary came in on June 15th,” Tony said. Daniel hesitated for a while, then took out a pen and wrote a note, which read, “Please keep the toy panda for my little brother until June 15th, when my mother gets her salary to pay for it. Thanks.” Placing the note on top of the box, they left the supermarket relieved. One of the staff spotted the note, who then showed it to the manager. The note melted everyone there and they decided to do something thoughtfully. They put away the toy panda so that it wouldn’t be purchased by other shoppers. After that, they tried their best to search for the two boys, but in vain. There was no other clue(线索)on the note to identify them. It appeared that they had no alternative but to wait until June 15th, which was about half a month away. The big day finally arrived. Unexpectedly, the two boys didn’t show up. “Maybe they have forgotten all about the toy,” one clerk whispered. “Impossible. A toy animal might not mean much to an adult. But for a child, it could mean the world,” the manager said. “We must come up with a way to contact them.” They decided to turn to the Internet by posting the note and their phone number online, hoping it could bring a surprise. 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。 The post eventually attracted the attention of Debbie. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I lost my job last month,” Debbie sighed(叹气). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 CAACC 6—10 CBAAB 11—15 ACBCA 16—20 CBBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2022级高二下期半期质量检测 英语学科 第I卷(共95分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5个小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 1.

(她还会和丈夫约翰联系，他帮她选择了河流，并在家里研究了旅行。布伦南笑着说：“他是我虚拟的夏尔巴人，能给我带来好处。”)”可知，这是因为他为她安排路线。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Brennan grew up on a lake and was a strong swimmer and boater from an early age. When going through rough rapids, she watches the weather carefully. She is cautious about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her gear and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe. (布伦南在湖边长大，从小就擅长游泳和划船。在穿越险滩时，她会仔细观察天气。她对自己的营地和周围的人都很谨慎。当她感到不安全时，她会收拾好装备，回到河上。)”可知，布伦南非常谨慎，并不鲁莽。由此可知，划线词reckless的意思为“轻率的，欠考虑的”。A. Prepared准备好了的；B. Fearless无所畏惧的；C. Thoughtless欠考虑的；D. Ambitious雄心勃勃的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the now.(这很艰难，但它让布伦南放下了其他一切，把她的大脑从日常琐事中清空，专注于现在。)”及最后一段中的“She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us.(她认为，我们都需要与有线世界断开一些联系，以发现我们周围更广阔的世界。)”可推知，布伦南的旅行虽然很艰难，但是很值得。故选D。 C If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this rule, it means that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health. For instance, analyzing human excreta can help find abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might show signs of some diseases. A new study shows that analysis of a city’s wastewater can also provide insights into the health and behavior of its residents. Such surveillance (监测) can be applied to sample (取样) all toilet users without knowing their names. It is much cheaper than alternative sampling techniques, and flexible enough to monitor (监测) everything from drug use to diet and even mental health. Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health. This new approach involves analyzing wastewater samples to look for and track the presence of various viruses, bacteria and parasites. By monitoring the genetic material of these pathogens (致病菌) in wastewater, scientists and public health officials can gain valuable insights into the spread of diseases within communities. This is especially true in poor countries, where alternative means of testing are expensive. It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially he detected (查明) in wastewater. But for wastewater surveillance to fulfil its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear. 8. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show some signs of physical illness. B. To introduce a method of detecting diseases. C. To explain the importance of diet to health. D. To present the value of studying bodily waste. 9. What is an advantage of wastewater surveillance? A. It serves more purposes. B. It requires less effort to do. C. It protects residents’ privacy. D. It needs little professional knowledge. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The development of wastewater surveillance. B. The means of wastewater testing for poor areas. C. The application of wastewater in disease detection. D. The potential of wastewater in discovering dangerous goods. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards wastewater surveillance? A. Doubtful. B. Careful. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述监测下水道的废水能得出某地居民的健康大数据，从而能够起到疾病预防的作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, then it stands to reason you also excrete (排泄) what you are. If we follow this rule, it means that our bodily waste reflects our diet and overall health.(如果说如俗语所说“人如其食”，那么很显然，你的排泄物也反映出你是什么。如果我们遵循这个逻辑，这意味着我们的身体废物反映了我们的饮食和整体健康)”可知，我们的身体废物反映了我们的饮食和整体健康，接着下文“For instance, analyzing human excreta can help find abnormal levels of certain chemicals, which might show signs of some diseases.(例如，分析人类排泄物可以帮助检测某些化学物质的异常水平，这可能会揭示某些疾病的迹象)”对上文举例说明，分析人类排泄物可能会揭示某些疾病的迹象，由此可推知，作者在第一段提到这个例子是为了说明研究身体排泄物的价值。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health.(废水监测已成为70多个国家监测和管理公共卫生的重要工具)”和第四段“It could also be applied to many other areas. For example, the police can adopt the tool to spot criminal behavior. Anything from consuming illegal drugs to handling bomb ingredients could potentially he detected (查明) in wastewater.(它也可以应用于许多其他领域。例如，警方可以采用该工具来发现犯罪行为。从吸食非法毒品到处理炸弹原料，任何事情都有可能在废水中被检测到)”可知，废水监测的优势是有更多的用途。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，结合首句“Wastewater surveillance has become an important tool in over 70 countries for monitoring and managing public health.(废水监测已成为70多个国家监测和管理公共卫生的重要工具)”可知，本段主要讲述废水在疾病检测中的应用，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了废水监测的好处、优势等，最后一段“But for wastewater surveillance to fulfil its potential, today’s systems must be transformed into something more stable and organized. In addition, testing bodies should be open about the extent of their capabilities, and exactly how data will be used. They should also consult with the people being monitored. It would be a shame if privacy worries caused support for it to disappear.(但是，为了使废水监测发挥其潜力，今天的系统必须转变为更稳定、更有组织的系统。此外，测试机构应该公开其能力的范围，以及如何准确地使用数据。他们还应该咨询被监控的人。如果对隐私的担忧导致对它的支持消失，那将是一件憾事)”提到了如何使其发挥出最大潜力，消除人们对隐私的担忧，故作者对废水监测持谨慎态度，故选B。 D Much like our guts (内脏), cities too have various types of microorganisms (微生物) that grow in the environment. And, much like analyzing the microorganisms in our guts can show important details about our physical condition, doing the same thing with a city’s microorganisms can help us understand data on the kinds of bacteria and other small life forms that are living alongside urban people. While it’s possible to use human researchers to collect data on a city’s microorganisms that kind of field research can be costly, difficult, and time-consuming. In 2010, honeybees in Brooklyn visited a nearby cherry factory, producing bright-red honey. This caused researchers to examine what other things New York’s honeybees were bringing back to their hives. It struck the researchers that this might be an easier way to collect microorganisms than to search for them on subway poles or sidewalks. So in a new study, researchers decided to seek help from the honeybee, which spends its days exploring cities all over the world, to learn about the urban microenvironments. The team analyzed hive debris (碎片) from around the world and had some interesting findings. In Sydney, the hive debris showed DNA from microorganisms that can break down rubber, while in Melbourne, a significant amount of DNA from eucalyptus, a kind of tree originally from Australia, appeared at the bottom of hives. And the hive debris from Venice had microorganisms commonly found in rotting wood. The analysis of Tokyo hives not only found DNA from local unique microorganisms, but also showed the presence of a microorganism that can cause disease among humans. This finding led the team to believe that using bees to learn about urban environments might be a great way to track the spread of human diseases. While the study is still at the initial stage and it remains to be seen whether honeybees will help scientists find diseases or help city planners make cities greener one day, the insects’ great promise as little research helpers is obvious. 12. What does the author want to express in the first paragraph? A. The significance of studying microorganisms in cities. B. The role of small life forms in urban ecosystems. C. The relationship between microorganisms and human health. D. The similarities of microorganisms in our guts and those in cities. 13. Why did researchers turn to honeybees for help? A. They are skilled at exploring remote places. B. They are willing to be close to human researchers. C. They can collect cities’ microorganisms in a productive way. D. They have a natural talent for recognizing microorganisms. 14. What does the new study find out? A. Bees in Venice primarily feed on rotting wood. B. Hive debris from diverse places has unique DNA material. C. Bees in Melbourne have the ability to break down rubber. D. Bees exhibit different living habits based on their living places. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Honeybees Can Help Analyze DNA from Microorganisms B. Microorganisms are Significant to Human Health C. Honeybees Reveal Urban Microorganisms through Hive Debris D. Urban Microenvironment’s Richness is Beyond our Imagination 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员如何利用蜜蜂收集城市中的微生物信息，通过分析蜂巢残骸揭示城市微生物环境的多样性及可能对人类健康的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“And, much like analyzing the microorganisms in our guts can show important details about our physical condition,doing the same thing with a city's microorganisms can help us understand data on the kinds of bacteria and other small life forms that are living alongside urban people.(而且，就像分析我们肠道中的微生物可以显示我们身体状况的重要细节一样，对城市的微生物做同样的事情可以帮助我们了解与城市居民生活在一起的细菌和其他小生命形式的数据)”可知，作者将城市中的微生物与我们肠道中的微生物进行类比，意在表达研究城市微生物的重要性。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“It struck the researchers that this might be an easier way to collect microorganisms than to search for them on subway poles or sidewalks.(这让研究人员意识到，这可能是一种比在地铁杆或人行道上寻找微生物更容易的方法)”可知，研究人员转向蜜蜂求助是因为蜜蜂能以一种高效的方式收集城市的微生物。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“In Sydney, the hive debris showed DNA from microorganisms that can break down rubber, while in Melbourne, a significant amount of DNA from eucalyptus, a kind of tree originally from Australia, appeared at the bottom of hives. And the hive debris from Venice had microorganisms commonly found in rotting wood.(在悉尼，蜂箱碎片显示出可以分解橡胶的微生物的DNA，而在墨尔本，大量来自桉树的DNA出现在蜂箱底部，桉树是一种原产于澳大利亚的树木。威尼斯的蜂箱残骸中含有腐烂木材中常见的微生物)”可知，这项新研究发现不同地方的蜂巢残骸具有独特的DNA物质。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了研究人员如何利用蜜蜂收集城市中的微生物信息，通过分析蜂巢残骸揭示城市微生物环境的多样性及可能对人类健康的影响，故C项“蜜蜂通过蜂巢残骸揭示城市微生物”适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most smartphones allow you to run location­sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.

It is my great honor to give a speech here. The topic of my speech is “Protect Wild Animals”. As we all know, wild animals play a part in keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately, they are in danger, some of which are dying out. So it is urgent to take some measures to protect them. First of all, we should establish natural reserves.

As the older child at home, Daniel was a good help to his mother, cleaning the room and caring for his younger brother, Tony. On a cold winter morning, Debbie asked the kids to go to the supermarket for some groceries. A toy panda on the she If caught Tony’s eyes. It was so adorable that he could hardly tear himself away from it. Knowing that they couldn’t afford it, Daniel told his brother to put it back. But Tony really wanted it and was unwilling to leave. “Please, I can wait until Mom’s salary came in on June 15th,” Tony said. Daniel hesitated for a while, then took out a pen and wrote a note, which read, “Please keep the toy panda for my little brother until June 15th, when my mother gets her salary to pay for it. Thanks.” Placing the note on top of the box, they left the supermarket relieved. One of the staff spotted the note, who then showed it to the manager. The note melted everyone there and they decided to do something thoughtfully. They put away the toy panda so that it wouldn’t be purchased by other shoppers. After that, they tried their best to search for the two boys, but in vain. There was no other clue(线索)on the note to identify them. It appeared that they had no alternative but to wait until June 15th, which was about half a month away. The big day finally arrived. Unexpectedly, the two boys didn’t show up. “Maybe they have forgotten all about the toy,” one clerk whispered. “Impossible. A toy animal might not mean much to an adult. But for a child, it could mean the world,” the manager said. “We must come up with a way to contact them.” They decided to turn to the Internet by posting the note and their phone number online, hoping it could bring a surprise. 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。 The post eventually attracted the attention of Debbie ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I lost my job last month,” Debbie sighed(叹气). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The post eventually attracted the attention of Debbie. She immediately recognized that it was her son’s handwriting. Full of gratitude, she phoned the supermarket and thanked for their kindness. The manager invited the mom and her two sons back to the supermarket, presenting the toy panda to little Tony. Holding his beloved toy, Tony’s face lit up and his eyes were shining with great joy. “But why didn’t you come for the toy on June 15th?” the manager asked the two boys in a gentle voice. Hearing this, both of them lowered their heads. “I lost my job last month,” Debbie sighed(叹气). She explained that knowing the news, the boys decided to keep the toy as a secret. So she had no idea about the case until she spotted the post online. Hearing this, everyone present was deeply moved. Turning to Debbie, the manager said, “I wonder if you are willing to work here as an assistant?” Hearing this, tears of gratitude welled up in Debbie’s eyes, and she held the manager’s hands, saying, “I couldn’t thank you enough.” Due to their help, the whole family felt warmth in the cold weather and believed that there was kindness in every corner of the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了丹尼尔的母亲黛比·阿什沃斯艰难地抚养着两个孩子。作为家里的大孩子，丹尼尔是妈妈的好帮手，他打扫房间，照顾弟弟托尼。这天弟弟在超市看到了一个玩具熊十分喜爱，但是当时没钱买于是给经理留了纸条，出乎意料的是，这两个男孩后来没有出现，于是经理在网上发帖想要找到他们。最后黛比看到了帖子，经理也将玩具送给了弟弟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这篇帖子最终引起了黛比的注意”可知，第一段可描写母亲看到帖子去超市那玩具以及经理送玩具。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我上个月丢了工作，’黛比叹了口气”可知，第二段可描写解释没来的原因以及大家被感动。 2.续写线索：黛比看到帖子——感谢好意——经理送玩具——解释原因——提供工作——黛比感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①赠送：present/give away ②询问：ask/inquire ③解释：explain/illustrate 情绪类 ①温和的：gentle/soft ②最爱：beloved/favorite 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing this, both of them lowered their heads.
